Wang Buan was indeed not very happy.

He was indeed a little disappointed.

Not to people. Instead, I wasn't very satisfied with the arrangement in front of me.

There are still too many people.

It's not a good thing to be too high-profile!

At this time, it really shouldn't be so high-profile.

You know, he's now being sanctioned by the world. He and all the companies under his name are on the list.

If it was for others to know, he would have made another Rock 700 engine......

I'm afraid the killers are really coming.

However, Guan Hongru disagreed.

On the territory of Huaxia, who dares to do anything to Wang Buan?

Now that the bald eagle is too busy to take care of itself, who else can do anything to Huaxia?

We're not jealous.

On this planet, that is, a little bit of fear of bald eagles.

Other countries or regions, to be honest, we really don't really care. Unless the other party's back is a bald eagle. There is a bald eagle to support the waist.

Last time, a British warship broke into the South China Sea, and was surrounded by sixteen of our warships. Each one is bigger and stronger than it. As a result, the other party immediately ran away in a hurry like a frightened rabbit. For fear of being beaten by a large crowd. Sixteen to one, ask if you are afraid?

The performance of the Rock 700 engine is so strong, of course, there are many people who want to watch it for the first time.

Mainly technicians from various R&D departments.

They all want to learn from Wang Buan's experience.

"Come in!"

"Keep up!"

The convoy slowly drove into the dry dock.

This is a shipyard dedicated to testing. A lot of the test equipment is new.

130,000 horsepower, definitely not ordinary machinery and equipment can withstand. Seriously, even a one-meter-thick steel bar can be easily pulled off.

First of all, the fixation of the engine itself is a very important issue.

It needs to be mounted on a floating bamboo raft.

The area around the raft is full of water. There are no fixations.

In this way, vibrations can be effectively reduced.

What are the benefits of vibration reduction? Of course, it is to reduce the noise and avoid being detected in advance by the enemy's sonar.

This is one of the benefits of all-electric propulsion. It can greatly reduce noise.

But how exactly do you test the power of the engine?

It's complicated.

Really, very complicated.

The power of the Panshi 700 is too great to be tested directly, only indirectly.

Many instruments and equipment need to be readjusted.

Fortunately, Guan Hongru has enough personnel, enough equipment, and enough funds.

This dock has become a special testing site.

The Panshi 700 is definitely not the last test sample.

There will definitely be Rock 800, Rock 900 and so on in the future.

It took three days for all the test equipment to be installed and commissioned.

Open the valve.

Affusion.

The sea is pouring in like crazy.

The dry dock was soon overwhelmed by the gushing water.

The Rock 700 engine, mounted on top of the bamboo raft, is far from all sides. It can't reach the sky, and it can't reach the ground.

Combined with the Rock 700 engine, there is a super-large generator.

Generators have a lot of copper alloy cable connections.

Prepare for the test.

All kinds of meters are put on standby.

"Launch. ”

"Start!"

"Start!"

The Rock 700 erupted.

Power skyrocketed. A low roar came.

Compared to the Rock 600, the noise of the Rock 700 has indeed increased.

If no special placement measures are taken, the enemy's sonar, estimated at a distance of 300 nautical miles, will be able to detect movement.

A large amount of seawater is broken down into hydrogen, which is then violently burned. The water level inside the dock actually dropped slightly.

If the valve is closed, it is estimated that the seawater in the dock will soon be completely decomposed.

It's too powerful. There is also a lot of seawater that needs to be decomposed.

It's just nuclear-powered!

It is even much more powerful than ordinary nuclear power.

Nuclear power is still dangerous!

Nuclear power reactions are still very large.

However, the whole set of Panshi 700 power system is only the size of a container!

50,000 ......

60,000 ......

70,000 ......

The power output has risen steadily.

The power ramp-up of gas turbines is relatively slow.

Sometimes, it takes more than two hours of preparation to reach maximum power.

However, it only took a few minutes for the Panshi 700 to increase its power output to more than 80,000 kilowatts. Reached 80% of the maximum power.

Ten minutes later, the Panshi 700 reached its rated power, which is 100,000 kilowatts.

However, this is not the full potential of the Rock 700.

It is entirely possible to take it to a higher level.

However, in this test, the power must be limited to the rated range.

The rest is stability and reliability.

It needs to run continuously for one week.

This is the minimum testing requirement.

In fact, with Rock 150, Rock 500, Rock 600 Pearl in front, Rock 700 is naturally reassuring.

However, a week of stable operation is a must. After all, this is a big guy worth tens of millions. And those who are ready to install it are all first-class big guys. The displacement is at least more than 50,000 tons. At this level, it is basically an aircraft carrier, a battleship, a cruiser, a landing ship, an integrated supply ship and the like. Destroyers, frigates, etc., are not needed at all.

As if for a 10,000-ton destroyer, two Rock 600 engines are enough. It can provide 60,000 horsepower.

A frigate in general, and even the installation of a Rock 600 is enough.

There is simply no need for such a lot of motivation.

Unless the hull is specially reinforced.

If you want to run at a high speed of 50 knots, you can't just have power. The entire hull needs to be strengthened.

Obviously, if you strengthen the entire hull, the cost will increase a lot. So, the current standard is 40 knots. Unless there is a special need, it is not necessary to exceed the maximum speed of 45 knots.

During the Panshi 700 test, Wang Buan focused on his second task - an icebreaker.

There are three requirements for an icebreaker:

First, the motivation should be strong. Preferably nuclear-powered.

Second, the hull should be absolutely sturdy.

Third, self-sustaining power should be long.

For the first point, power. Apparently there are no major problems.

Installation of four Rock 700 engines.

This gives you an output of 400,000 K, almost 550,000 horsepower.

With such a strong power, it is enough to enter the Arctic and Antarctic regions.

For the general ice floe area, it is basically a state of crushing. No stress.

Strong power output, there is also a benefit, that is, dragging.

In order to rescue a ship trapped in the ice, in addition to breaking the ice, you also need a strong towing ability.

There needs to be enough power to pull the trapped vessel out of force.

This simple and crude method can save a lot of time.

Terrifyingly powerful, it can also increase the speed of the icebreaker to more than 45 knots. Very good for long walks.

At this speed, if you travel day and night, even from the South Pole to the North Pole, it will take more than ten days.

The distance between the North and South poles is about 10,000 nautical miles. It's about 200 hours.

Second, the design requirement was to be able to crush six meters of ice.

Basically, this requirement is already the highest in the world. It's hard to do with other icebreakers.

The ice-breaking capacity of the Snow Dragon is only about 1.2 meters. It can be said that it is very weak. But the other countries are not very strong either.

With a displacement of 25,000 tons, the nuclear-powered icebreaker "50 Years of Victory" is the most powerful icebreaker in the world. Its maximum ice-breaking capacity is actually about 2.8 meters. If it's more than 3 meters, it's a bit overwhelming. Obviously, the ice-breaking requirement of six meters is already very high.

However, Wang Buan's own requirements were more than ten meters.

If you want to do it, do the best.

Is six meters enough?

Inadequate?

That's to increase to ten meters.

Anyway, we have the hardest alloy, and we just keep piling it up.

The 50 billion ton hydraulic press can also forge the hardest parts on the planet. It was clearly just right to use it to forge the sharpest part of the bow.

The bow of the boat must be made of grade 6 cemented carbide. The dosage is very large.

Just an icebreaker needs more than 10,000 tons of grade 6 cemented carbide.

Fortunately, there are hundreds of industrial parks. Otherwise, there is simply no way to supply so many hard carbides. The ability to break the ice in ten meters is also a luxury.

The third is self-sustaining.

Well, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Before, the main concern was that there was not enough fuel. Now, the icebreaker is carrying a Tyrannosaurus Rex helicopter. It also does not require fuel per se.

Design of two helicopter platforms.

Two helicopters are required.

Otherwise, there is probably a large cold storage. Responsible for freezing all kinds of food, medicines, etc.

In general, self-sustaining for about 500 days is no problem at all.

In fact, as long as the self-sustaining power exceeds 100 days, it already meets the design requirements.

After all, it is still rare to go without docking for three months.

With so many ports around the world, there will always be opportunities to dock.

If vegetables or meat have been frozen for 500 days, they probably don't taste very good.

"Is this your design?" Pang Xihua asked in surprise.

"Yes. How about it?" Wang Buan nodded casually.

"Are you going to bulldoze Antarctica?"

"Huh?"

"With 10 meters of ice-breaking ability, you can enter Antarctica for hundreds of kilometers. ”

"Really?"

"Of course!"

Pang Xihua slowly gasped.

This Wang Buan, won't it be one day that he will really bulldoze all the Antarctic ice sheets, right?

He can now build an icebreaker with a ten-meter icebreaker capacity.

What about the future?

Twenty meters?

Fifty meters?

A hundred meters?

In fact, the ice on the periphery of Antarctica is not very thick.

In many places, the ice does not exceed 10 meters. For an icebreaker in general, this can be a huge obstacle.

However, if the ice-breaking ability really reaches 10 meters, the range that can be forcibly broken into is larger. Basically, it is possible to penetrate more than a hundred kilometers into Antarctica.

In other words, it is possible to shorten the walking distance by 100 kilometers. Or the flight distance of a helicopter.

If the ice-breaking capacity reaches 100 meters, then ......

Hehe, basically, more than 50% of the area, icebreakers can break in.

It is also getting closer and closer to various scientific research stations.

Perhaps, you will be able to reach the scientific research station when you go ashore in the future. It's the same as a regular dock.

It's Antarctica that suffers.

was ruined by Wang Buan.
