Chapter 542: Something Wrong
The Celestial Empire is a great country with a vast territory and has created a lot of glory in history. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info however, in the navy, it is sad. After Zheng He's fleet was abolished, the Celestial Empire no longer had a powerful navy for hundreds of years.
It's a pity that there is no strong navy. However, isn't the century-old shame of the Celestial Empire related to the navy? When the Western powers invaded the Celestial Empire, wanted to conquer the Celestial Empire, and wanted to make the Celestial Empire a colony of the Western powers, wasn't it the navies of the Western powers that knocked on the door of the Celestial Empire?
Since the Opium War, has the invasion of the Western powers not been caused by the "strong ships and sharp artillery" of the great powers?
Now that our country is rising again, we need the most powerful navy in the whole world, not one of them. Today's sea trials are an extremely important step towards the world's most powerful navy.
Although the gas turbine has been tested for a long time and rigorously, it is still necessary to install it on a warship for testing, rather than using various instruments to test it.
At this moment, Ye Chen felt a heavy weight on his shoulders, this was a grand event related to whether he could reproduce the unique invincible fleet like Zheng He's fleet.
Looking at Admiral Luo, they were also the same as Ye Chen, they were very nervous and felt a lot of pressure.
Take a long breath and force yourself to calm down.
Admiral Luo said, "Listen to my command." ”
It was also with great difficulty that he calmed down and shouted the password.
Three!
Two!
One!
Initiate!
Everyone worked together and pressed the start button.
Everyone's eyes widened violently, their faces were full of nervousness and expectation, their hearts were beating faster, their breathing was short, and whether they could succeed or not would be revealed at this time.
Ye Chen at the scene was nervous, not to mention, even the chief, they were also nervous.
Suddenly, a large amount of data appeared on the projection screen, and the gas turbine was successfully started.
"The launch was successful!" The crowd let out a burst of cheers, their faces full of excitement.
A successful launch is not a sign of the problem, it still needs to be a sea trial. However, this is the first step towards success.
The chiefs were also smiling and breathing a sigh of relief.
"How's the data?" The chief asked impatiently.
Ye Chen and the others did not rush to answer, but opened their eyes wide and looked at the data on the projection screen. Ye Chen and the others have long been familiar with these data, and they don't know how many times they have read it. Now that I look at it again, I just feel very good, and these data are beautiful movements.
"Very good!" After reading it, Mr. Lei almost sang it.
Bang Bang Bang!
Warm applause rang out, and everyone applauded vigorously, their faces were red and excited.
The chiefs also stood up and applauded, and crisp applause came from the video.
The applause was like thunder, and it lasted for a long time. After a while, it stopped.
The next step is to carry out various tests on the gas turbine. After all, this is mounted on a warship, which is different from previous tests, and needs to be data.
It took a long time, and everyone waited quietly without any impatience.
Finally, the test was completed and the results came out, and everyone was both expectant and nervous.
"The test results are very good." Chief Master Lei smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth.
There was another thunderous applause, and everyone was full of excitement.
"Chief, now it's time for sea trials, please give orders." Chief Master Lei was very happy, his voice was a little high, his voice was a little harsh, and he said happily to Admiral Luo.
Admiral Luo's eyes were as bright as lanterns, and he kept rubbing his hands and said, "It's finally time for a sea trial." ”
It's finally time for sea trials!
This is the voice of the people, and it is also the voice of the chief.
They waited a long time for this day. Although they had known that this day would come, when it came, everyone was still nervous.
After a long while, Admiral Luo said: "It is the ambition of my generation to have the most powerful fleet in the world and reproduce the majesty of Zheng He's fleet. Now, we can finally test the world's most advanced gas turbine, and I'm lucky. ”
Saying this, his eyes moistened, he looked up to the sky, and prayed: "Chief, you have knowledge in the spirit of heaven, and I report to you: the most advanced gas turbine in our country, and the most advanced in the world, has been tested!" ”
Although he didn't say who he was reporting to, Ye Chen and the others all knew who he was reporting the situation to.
It is the admiral who is bent on building aircraft carriers and is respected by the Chinese people as the "father of aircraft carriers" of the Celestial Empire.
In the years when the father of the aircraft carrier was in charge of the navy, the country's strength was not good, although he was bent on building aircraft carriers, he wanted to build a strong navy. However, he had to succumb to the reality that the national strength was not enough, and he tried to volunteer for the rest of his life.
Now that our country has the most advanced gas turbines in the world, it is time to report to the Father of Aircraft Carriers, the Spirit in Heaven, to reassure him.
The chief, Admiral Xiao and them, as well as Ye Chen, all had solemn faces, and their eyes were full of reverence.
In those days, it was such an ambition to build an aircraft carrier.
At that time, the state demanded patience from the army, and the state could not afford to spend on the military, and the annual military expenditure was pitifully small, and each branch of the military was not enough. The navy is a gold-swallowing monster, and it spends a lot of military spending, and if it builds an aircraft carrier, it may not be enough to spend the whole year's military spending.
Therefore, the other branches of the armed forces are particularly disgusted by the fact that the Navy is going to build aircraft carriers, and when they hear that the Navy wants to build aircraft carriers, they pour cold water on the Navy, saying that it is useful for you to build that thing? It's better to take out the money and develop other classes.
It is under such difficult conditions that the will of the father of aircraft carriers does not waver and insists on building aircraft carriers, which is so rare.
After praying, Admiral Law gave the order: "The trial begins." Accelerate to the maximum. ”
As soon as the words fell, Ye Chen and the others felt as if they had been hit by a heavy hammer, and their bodies staggered, if they hadn't been holding on to the table, they would definitely have fallen to the ground.
"Is this the end of the acceleration?" Admiral Luo's eyes almost fell to the ground, and his face was full of disbelief.
Not only did he not believe it, but even the chief in the video was also shocked.
"yes, the acceleration is done." Chief Master Lei said proudly.
"That's too fast, isn't it?" Admiral Luo still looked incredulous.
It's too fast, indeed. How could the previous gas turbine be completed at such an accelerated pace in such a short time. No matter how fast it is, it will take a little time. Now is it said that acceleration is accelerating, or accelerating to the maximum.
From the projection screen, you can see that the stern of the ship spews snow-white waves, and you can see that the warship is sailing forward like an arrow, and the speed is too fast.
"Not only is the acceleration so fast, but it's also too fast." Admiral Luo's face was full of surprise.
"If you can't do that, how can you call it a new gas turbine?" Chief Master Lei said proudly.
He has been making gas turbines all his life, and he is especially proud to be able to make such a remarkable gas turbine.
"Well done! Well done! Admiral Luo smiled all over his face and gave Chief Master Lei a big hug.
The warship was moving forward like an arrow in the Yangtze River, and the people nearby saw it and were shocked. Such a fast warship, where has it been seen, even the aircraft carrier of the United States, it is impossible to be so fast.
Sailed for a while, looked at the data, and there were no problems. The next step is to run various evasion tests.
In a naval battle, the enemy's missiles are coming, and using missiles to intercept and induce is a defensive measure, and evasion is also a good defensive measure. Therefore, it is very important to circumvent the test.
The performance of the gas turbine is so excellent that you can avoid it as you want, and it is simply neat and not muddy at all. This was unimaginable before.
Half a day, in the excitement of everyone, quickly passed, and the warship sailed back to port.
The chief summoned Ye Chen and them together for a brief summary meeting.
"The successful trial of the gas turbine is great news!" The chief's speech provoked a round of applause.
After the applause stopped, the chief continued: "This trial voyage was a complete success, but this is the first step towards success, and there will be a series of trial voyages to follow, and you need to be prepared and go all out." I wish you success! ”
The chief is right, today's sea trials are only the first step, and there will be a series of sea trials to follow. First try the voyage in the inland river, and if there is no problem, go to the sea to try the sail.
The sea area scheduled for sea trials is the South China Sea. After the sea trials, they will go to the oceans for sea trials.
Only after sea trials in various sea areas and various harsh climatic conditions, if there are no problems, can it be considered successful.
Warships must be crisscrossed in the sea. As the power of warships, gas turbines must go to the sea to endure all kinds of rigorous tests. Only in this way is the gas turbine that the Celestial Empire needs.
"After the sea trial, it should be summarized and the existing problems should be identified." The chief concluded.
The chief's down-to-earth style was highly recognized by Ye Chen.
"Chief, I think the biggest problem with our sea trials today is that the warship and the gas turbine do not match, especially the propeller. If these problems are solved, it will be faster. Chief Lei spoke first.
Today's trial voyage was a complete and successful one. However, it is not without problems, the biggest problem is that gas turbines and warships do not match.
It is not difficult to understand that this warship was specially allocated by the state for sea trials, and it does not match the gas turbine. In order to install the gas turbine on the warship, the warship was refitted, and it took a long time to complete.
Propeller processing is very demanding, certainly not as high as that of a submarine, but not low either. If Ye Chen's manufacturing and processing technology had been used earlier, there would have been no such problem.
"That's a real problem." The chief was very much in favor.
Chief Lei didn't have any other questions, and the chief asked Ye Chen, "Xiao Ye, what problems do you think still exists?" ”
Everyone's eyes fell on Ye Chen, waiting for his answer.
Ye Chen is the driving force behind the gas turbine, and his opinion must be taken seriously by everyone.
"Chief, I think the problem of mismatch should be solved as soon as possible, because the performance of gas turbines simply cannot be brought into play. Judging by the data, it is not even a third. This makes it impossible to test to the limit. Ye Chen said again.
The power of the gas turbine is too strong, and now the warship cannot be tested for sea trials in extreme conditions.
"Well said. We will solve it as soon as possible. The chief immediately made a decision.
Then, the crowd summed up for a while, and then dispersed.
For a period of time, it will be tested on the Yangtze River, and it will only go to the South China Sea after it is completed. The rest of the matter can be handed over to Chief Master Lei, and Ye Chen doesn't have to guard it.
When he returned to the company, he was caught by the father of hybrid rice with an anxious face: "Xiaoye, something is wrong." ”
