Since the construction of Huaxia's first light aircraft carrier "Nanhai", Yang Weiping has been trying to improve the overall technical strength of Huaxia's shipbuilding industry.

To this end, he not only introduced the Holvaz Deutsche Shipyard from the Federal Republic of Germany to invest and set up factories in China, but also introduced the British Vosber Sannikroft Shipyard, in which he held a certain share, into Huaxia, and formed a large tripartite joint venture with the Huaxia Changxing Shipbuilding Base and the Dalian Shipbuilding Factory.

The German shipyard in Hovaz was the development and manufacturing plant for the German submarine 209, and the Vosber Sannikroft shipyard was the manufacturer of the Type 21 frigate for the British Navy.

The 600~900MPa series of high-strength low-alloy steels and high-strength easy-to-weld marine steels produced in batches by China's major state-owned iron and steel enterprises have solved the biggest problem of materials required for the new generation of ships of the Chinese Navy.

These series of military special steels, compared with the United States developed HY80 steel, HY100 steel, HY130 steel and other high-strength low-alloy steels for ship manufacturing, are not inferior in all aspects of comprehensive performance.

In particular, the TQYH78 ship steel produced by Baotou Steel, the U.S. government has paid a very high price for the introduction of a complete set of technology and technology, including the AN series radar technology of the American Hughes company, the complete set of technology of 1000-ton giant gantry crane, and the complete set of technology of 200-ton movable tower crane.

As Wang Haiyang said, with such a foundation, plus Yang Weiping's proposal of the giant segmented shipbuilding method and other three new shipbuilding methods that lead the world's advanced level, as well as the design drawings provided by Yang Weiping. Changxing shipbuilding base can't build new ships, it's really faceless, and I'm even more sorry for the "Changxing speed" that is now advocated in the country.

The desire for the Chinese blue water navy, no one in the whole of China can be stronger than Yang Weiping.

After answering Wang Haiyang's call, Yang Weiping immediately handed over the work at hand to Zhou Yongjian, he couldn't even wait to leave tomorrow, and took his Tiangong No. 1 private plane to fly to Shanghai that night.

Early the next morning, before the Changxing Shipyard went to work, Yang Weiping drove to the gate of the factory accompanied by four guards, Meng Shouzheng, Guo Shangyi, Tan Weiguo and Xu Fumin.

Tiangong-1 has a special cargo compartment for carrying cars. This makes Yang Weiping not have to worry about no vehicle wherever he goes with the special plane.

Wang Haiyang said that Yang Weiping would come to inspect the factory today. I came to work in the factory half an hour earlier than usual, ready to arrange the reception work in person.

When he arrived at the gate of the factory by special car, he saw Yang Weiping standing in front of the door of the communication room, talking and laughing with the doorman, and Wang Haiyang was shocked.

Director Yang is trying to carry out a surprise attack! An inexplicable pressure. It was born spontaneously in Wang Haiyang's heart.

Although Yang Weiping is no longer the director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. But in Wang Haiyang's mind. Without Director Yang, there would be no Changxing Island shipbuilding base today! There would be no vigorous shipbuilding industry in China! There would be no smooth birth of China's first aircraft carrier!

It can be said that Director Yang has an irreplaceable glorious image in the minds of all Changxing people.

From the situation of Yang Weiping talking cordially with the doorman and security guard. Wang Haiyang could see at a glance that the doorman on duty today must have recognized who Yang Weiping was.

After seeing Wang Haiyang's black Mercedes-Benz sedan, one of the two middle-aged security guards in his forties immediately shouted excitedly: "Director Yang, our Secretary Wang has come to work!"

Wang Haiyang's special car had stopped at the factory gate at this time, he pushed the door from the back seat and got out of the car, and hurriedly crossed the road to greet Yang Weiping.

"Secretary Yang, you won't be in Huhai last night, right?" Wang Haiyang asked with a smile while shaking hands with Yang Weiping warmly.

"I wanted to see our new baby as soon as possible, so I couldn't wait to come over. Yang Weiping lowered his head and laughed softly in Wang Haiyang's ear.

The new 052-class frigate is currently one of the top military secrets in China. Of course, Yang Weiping will not casually talk nonsense as an irrelevant bystander.

"Ha Luha, it seems that the legend that you have a private plane is true. Wang Haiyang smiled happily: "It's convenient to have a private jet, you can fly wherever you want." ”

Saying that, Wang Haiyang invited Yang Weiping to his black Mercedes-Benz car specially equipped with the factory, and the group of three factories drove quickly towards the hinterland of the factory.

The current Changxing Island Shipyard has changed a lot from the last time Yang Weiping visited the "Nanhai" light aircraft carrier, which is still under construction.

The first phase of the project has been basically completed, and eight large ocean-going cargo ships and oil tankers of more than 10,000 tons are under construction in four large docks.

The dock where the new 052-class frigate was built was located in the deepest part of the No. 3 dock, and the perimeter guard work was specially taken care of by a certain department of the Marine Corps.

With Wang Haiyang personally leading the way, these three cars naturally drove unimpeded.

Soon, Wang Haiyang led Yang Weiping and the accompanying guards to a hidden dock platform that could build a 5,000-ton ship.

On the slipway, a battleship that had completed its gray paint was like a steel monster, lying there quietly.

With a total length of 125 meters, a width of 15.4 meters, and a standard displacement of 3,200 tons, the overall design concept emphasizes the need to reduce the divergence of various control and measurement characteristics of the fleet, including radar, infrared, noise, etc.

In order to reduce the radar scattering area, the new 052 class has a different appearance from any frigate of the navies of various countries in the world today, and the external architecture avoids the formation of a strong radar wave total reflection angle as much as possible, and controls the radar echo in a certain direction as much as possible, so that it is not easy for the enemy to continue a complete radar return in a certain direction.

Compared with the frigates and destroyers currently in service in the navies of various countries in the world, the contour line of the new 052 class is relatively simple, the appearance of the hull and superstructure is very simple, and the sharp edges and corners or more complex shapes are deliberately avoided. There is hardly any vertical part on the surface of the ship's hull, and all of them are deliberately tilted.

In addition to the hull, the new 052 class abandons the traditional RCS large lattice mast and adopts an alloy mast with a stealth tilting shape, and the main engine smoke exhaust is also integrated into the structure of the two masts, which can avoid the RCS caused by the addition of separate chimneys.

The deck of the new Class 052 is very simple and clean, and all kinds of equipment are included in the hull or other stealth measures as much as possible. For example, the transport boat is hidden inside the superstructure and closed with a net curtain, the anti-ship missiles are semi-buried, and the anchoring equipment is all hidden under the bow main deck.

Judging from the appearance alone, it is basically the same as Yang Weiping's original design blueprint that imitated the Lafayette class. Not to mention the internal structure of the battleship, as far as this shape and design concept is concerned, once it is made public, it will definitely cause exclamation and shock from the United States, Britain, the Soviet Union, France and other naval powers.

When Yang Weiping was about to climb the construction staircase to visit the internal structure of the new 052 class, Li Fuli, the chief engineer of the ship, came to work.

Knowing that Director Yang came to inspect, Li Fuli was so excited that he hurried from the office to the manufacturing construction site without even changing his work clothes.

"Director Yang, Secretary Wang, why didn't the two leaders come over and say hello in advance!" Li Fuli said excitedly while shaking hands with Yang Weiping.

"Chief Engineer Li, hard work!" Yang Weiping looked at the chief engineer of the new 052-class frigate in front of him, and nodded cordially and enthusiastically: "I received a call from Secretary Wang, and I rushed from Sansha City to participate in the launching and trial celebration of the new 052 ship. ”

As the chief designer of the 051-class destroyer, after Li Fuli took over the design blueprint of the new 052-class frigate, he was already overturned by this new design concept that he had learned all the warship design ideas he had learned before, and at the same time opened a door for him to the most advanced ship design level in the world.

"It seems that Secretary Wang reported the good news to you in advance. Li Fuli said happily: "Director Yang, all the technical personnel and workers of the new 052-class frigate project team have lived up to your high expectations! We are confident that we will give you a perfect answer sheet with the central government and the central government!"

"I'm looking forward to it now!" Yang Weiping nodded and smiled.

Under the guidance of Li Fuli, Yang Weiping, Wang Haiyang and their entourage boarded the platform of the new 052-class frigate that was still on the slipway. Then enter the engine room that Yang Weiping is most concerned with.

"Director Yang, this is the latest NJRQ1980A gas turbine successfully developed by Jinling Gas Turbine Factory. Li Fuli pointed to the two groups of four shiny gas turbine units in the engine room, and excitedly introduced:

This kind of gas turbine is a new product jointly developed by Jinling Gas Turbine Factory and Rolls-Royce of the United Kingdom, which completely absorbs the various advanced design concepts and technologies of the LM2500 gas turbine of the United States General Motors, and the maximum output power of a single unit has reached 30,500 horsepower! The efficiency has reached 36.2 percent! It can make the new 052 with a full load displacement of 3,500 tons easily soar to 30 knots. ”

The gas turbine technology imported from Rolls-Royce and General Motors of the United States has finally come to fruition! Yang Weiping suddenly felt an inexplicable joy in his heart.

Although Yang Weiping saw China's research and development achievements in high-power advanced steam turbines and gas turbines when he inspected the Baishou Nuclear Power Plant, this is not the same as seeing another marine gas turbine successfully installed on a new warship.

Although the new 052-class frigate has not yet been launched, Yang Weiping has already seen that my country's navy will have a completely domestic strong heart from now on!

After the completion of the overall restructuring of the joint-stock company established by the four state-owned turbine factories of Jinling, Nanji, Harbin and Huhai in cooperation with the British Rolls-Royce Company, all the cold and hot parts of gas turbines and steam turbines of various series have been localized.

This is another measure taken by Yang Weiping for the gas turbine and steam turbine manufacturing industry while completing the overall technical upgrading ......of China's aviation industry!
