Although it was still a big night, Yang Hui still came to the airport to wait for the China Shipbuilding Corporation to come over from China.

In the dark night, Yang Hui hadn't seen the team of China Shipbuilding Corporation, and someone behind him greeted him first: "Mr. Yang, hey, here, here, right"

Turning around, you can see at a glance that this time there is really a large team of personnel from the China Shipbuilding, which looks like they are coming to bid, especially the briefcases and luggage that everyone is holding in their hands, thinking that they are all some materials, and with these materials, they can be more fully prepared.

"Come on, everyone come with me, there is a special car from the embassy to pick you up, now let's go to the embassy to stay first, and I will talk to you carefully about the specific things later, now get in the car first."

In this way, after the materials were loaded, everyone got on the bus and returned to the embassy.

"Jan"

"Shhh

Signaling that the car was not the place to speak, and then only the sound of the car engine was heard, and so on until the car stopped at the embassy

"Everybody understands! This is the specific situation, now is a great opportunity for us, although we can't get the aircraft carrier order, but we can get the order for three 20,000-ton comprehensive supply ships, and this point, I told Vice Chairman Liu on the phone before, I believe you also know the situation. ”

Overnight, Yang Hui talked to these people from the CSSC side about the situation in detail, but it was not the general manager of the leading China Shipbuilding Corporation who responded to Yang Hui, but the chief engineer of the 708 Institute who got the opportunity to participate in the project.

"Mr. Yang, I am Zhang Wende of the 708 Institute of the head office decided to undertake the design of the supply ship project, and we have some relevant research on the comprehensive supply ship required by Thailand and Brazil over the years. I believe that it is completely possible to win this order, the only gap is that from the Brazilian Navy's long-term navigation and combat in the Atlantic Ocean, the plan we have previously developed still needs to be optimized. ”

The Brazilian Navy is typical of navigating the Atlantic Ocean, while both the Republic and Thailand are typical Pacific coastal countries, and the sea conditions in the Pacific Ocean are obviously more than a little better than those in the Atlantic.

At that time, the U.S. Navy designed the open-deck Midway-class aircraft carrier according to the Pacific combat environment, which was simply a hegemonic existence in the Pacific region, but during the Cold War, the aircraft carrier was pulled into the Atlantic combat environment, and the harsh sea conditions were high and rough, and the guy didn't know how many times he was choked on the sea, and it was good if he didn't drown.

This is the huge difference between the Atlantic waters and the Pacific waters, and the warships designed by the Republic of China in accordance with the pre-research and design of the Pacific combat environment really need to make some changes to meet the Atlantic combat environment.

After thinking about it for a while: "When the time comes, we will bring all the materials and play a demonstration role to show that we can undertake the design and construction of a 20,000-ton comprehensive supply ship." But this time, Brazil and Thailand asked to adopt the supply system of NATO standards, and we have not been able to come up with qualified products for the time being, so they require the construction of the hull according to the standard of Det Norske Veritas, so it is best to make a major change. Anyway, as far as the cost required by Thailand and Brazil is concerned, there is no other country that can meet the requirements except us, and we still have plenty of time, as long as we can deliver their aircraft carriers before they can be used, we don't have to worry too much about the rest. ”

It was a bit frustrating to hear that Thailand and Brazil were asking for the adoption of NATO standards, which clearly indicated that the ship's integrated supply system could only be procured from Western countries, and that the republic's supply system would now be rejected because of the standard interface.

But fortunately, it's just that the ship's supply system follows NATO standards, but the design and construction of the hull follows the standards of Det Norske Veritas, and this time it can work.

"No problem, although we do not have an integrated supply system that meets NATO standards, it is possible to use the standards of Det Norske Veritas in the design and construction of the hull. It has been improved in our 903 supply ship pre-research program, and it can fully meet the requirements. ”

903 pre-study program? It seems that this is another pre-research project comparable to the 453B steam turbine project, the pre-research of 453B is prepared for aircraft carriers, but this time it will be used by Thailand and Brazil first, if the pre-research of the 453B steam turbine alone cannot explain anything, then the 708 pre-research of the 903-class comprehensive supply ship has once again proved a lot of things, I have to admit that Commander Liu worked hard and was far-sighted when he was the commander of the Navy.

"Okay, that's all I know about the specific situation, and then it's up to you professionals to go to the tripartite talks with Thailand and Brazil."

The situation is clear, Yang Hui is also preparing to disperse the meeting and leave, but the general manager of the China Shipbuilding Corporation over there can't sit still, although this meeting said about the comprehensive supply ship, but there is not a very important thing that has not been said!

"Don't, Mr. Yang, the 453B steam turbine project you mentioned before, we still don't know much about it, so we still need it."

I was busy forgetting about this, and patted my head a little embarrassedly, and then sat down again: "Then go on, when it comes to the 453B steam turbine, I only know a rough idea, this is all when we Southwest Science and Industry Project QC-160 project was approved before, I heard it by chance in the Naval Power Pre-research Office, and now it seems that there is really such a thing!" ”

There is such a thing, Yang Hui was blinded before the relationship, which can be regarded as the chief designer in charge of the 703 steam turbine project over there.

"There is indeed such a project, the 453B steam turbine of our 703 Institute, like the 903 supply ship on the 708 side, is a key pre-research project of the Navy of the Eighth Five-Year Plan, with a design power of 47,000 horsepower, which can indeed meet the needs of 20,000 tons of conventional power aircraft carriers, so we will also come together this time to see if we can win the project."

Seeing the eagerness of the 703 Institute over there, Yang Hui knew that this time was right.

He responded very confidently: "I believe that as long as the power unit can be manufactured in 94 or 95, with the power system you brought this time, it is definitely the most suitable, and there is no one." Thailand and Brazil are both countries that want to do big things with little money, and Bazin Shipyard is also a low-cost starting point, and with the cost of our power system, Kendi can win the project. ”

Yang Hui said with great certainty that the general manager of the China Shipbuilding Corporation over there was a little excited, if it could provide power systems for aircraft carriers made in Western countries, it would prove that the China Shipbuilding Corporation had made a difference, which was great news for his own leader!

"Not only the power system, but also the catapult that needs to be used on the aircraft carrier this time, this type of aircraft carrier does not need to catapult heavy fighters or AWACS aircraft and the like, so it does not need too much power, and the purchase of C-13 catapults from the United States is obviously too large, so the steam catapults on these two aircraft carriers should not have landed."

On a light aircraft carrier, first of all, due to the problem of size, it is impossible to use a big guy like the C-13 catapult, and the price of that thing is too expensive.

When the French Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier purchased catapults, 12 million US dollars a piece, which exceeded the domestic cost of the United States I don't know how many times, and then calculated to sell to countries like Brazil and Thailand, 12 million US dollars want to buy C-13 catapults, think about it or forget it.
