Chapter 689: The idea of still fighting aircraft carriers
After contacting the country, just like when Vice Chairman Liu heard that three 20,000-ton comprehensive supply ships had been roughly discussed, Yang Hui could not calm down for a long time, the difference is that Yang Hui's unrest is because of the news of the reorganization of large domestic military industrial units revealed by Vice Chairman Liu this time.
And now, Yang Hui, who is far away in Thailand, is really not good at talking to the southwest science and industry in China, and this good news can only be pressed on Yang Hui first, and after a few days, after he goes back, he will tell everyone the good news to be happy.
"Ambassador Wang, you also heard the call just now, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, someone from the China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation will come to talk about the project, and this project is a matter of great importance, and I hope that your embassy can help me more, I will be ready to return to China in a short time."
After walking out of the secret room, the two continued to chat, and after some communication, it could be seen that Ambassador Wang was very happy.
poured two glasses of water, pushed one in front of Yang Hui, and then held another cup by himself: "This point is that if you don't say it, our embassy will also do its best to assist domestic comrades to win this project, this is our own job, you can rest assured." ”
Then he seemed to think of something: "Mr. Yang, this time Thailand and Brazil are two countries together to carry out international procurement and naval expansion, which is definitely not only a comprehensive supply ship project, just now I also heard you talk about the problem of aircraft carriers, so this time there should be many other aircraft carrier supporting projects, can we continue to think of ways on the aircraft carrier supporting subsystem, if we can win one or two projects, this will also have a lot of benefits for us in the future!" ”
Supporting subsystems for aircraft carriers? I didn't expect Ambassador Wang to be quite concerned about this project.
Anyway, Yang Hui doesn't mind revealing more news: "The supporting subsystem of this aircraft carrier, our Southwest Science and Industry is not not involved in it, for example, the most important carrier-based fighter project of the aircraft carrier, this is our Southwest Science and Industry R & D support, I don't know if this is the most important supporting project?" Or do you think we can fight for something else, but it doesn't hurt to say that! ”
The so-called one person is short-minded, Yang Hui can't take all of them into account now, now looking at what Ambassador Wang means, it seems that there are still some ideas that can't be realized?
Not to mention, Ambassador Wang really thought more about it this time: "We got an order for aircraft carrier fighters?" This is really great news, and it will be of great help to us when we develop our own aircraft carriers in the future, at least we now have very important experience in the research and development of carrier-based fighters. However, carrier-based aircraft are not only fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft, but also have a lot of demand for carrier-based helicopters, and helicopters can be useful not only on aircraft carriers, but also destroyers, frigates, and these can be carried. ”
Putting down the water glass, Yang Hui suddenly thought of this question at this time.
First of all, to be realistic, if the republic wants to win the carrier-based helicopter project between Thailand and Pakistan, it is indeed unlikely, after all, the domestic helicopter industry, the situation is simply unbearable to look at directly, if you want to talk about military combat, the current republic has pulled the gap with the international mainstream level to within ten years.
Then, in the helicopter industry, it is definitely a gap between 20 years and close to 30 years, such a big gap, even if your cost performance is good, there will not be any market.
But this is not to say that there is no need to develop the helicopter industry in the republic. Not to mention anything else, shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the republic spent a lot of money on the import of Mi-17 series of general-purpose helicopters, and after the new century, it purchased more, and the Russian military and civilian helicopters of the entire republic added up, which is definitely close to the scale of 1,000 units, and even before 2020, it is still difficult to stop the wind of procurement.
What does this mean? It shows that the domestic helicopter industry has a huge demand, and the domestic helicopter industry has not been vigorously developed, mainly because this thing is not as good as the fixed-wing fighter in the priority course.
But the market is there, Yang Hui is very clear, the last face of the Republic of a large number of purchases of Russian Mi series helicopters, almost able to feed the Russian helicopter industry after the disintegration, that guy is simply a capital enemy, and now in the nineties, the helicopter industry is indeed necessary to pay attention to.
It's not that the state doesn't pay attention to it, mainly because the funds are stretched thin and can't take care of this aspect. In addition, the Mi-17 series of helicopters have a large output, and the cost can not be lower, on its price, you say that it is dumping, in this case, the helicopter industry can only be the southwest science and industry to find its own way.
"You don't know what the situation of the helicopter is in China, and now the only thing that can barely carry out a small amount of production is the introduction of French technology Zhijiu helicopter, although the introduction of France allowed us to sell this helicopter in the future, but now we have not engaged in the situation of profit, just sell it to the outside world."
Zhijiu is a good aircraft, at least this is in the eighties in the country can be a full set of information to introduce the most high-tech helicopter, after the full localization of this aircraft, the overall technical improvement to the helicopter industry of the entire republic is indeed a lot, but now at this time Zhijiu is still difficult to localize, it is impossible to count on it.
However, this Ambassador Wang is obviously a person with considerable perseverance, and after Yang Hui said that the situation of the domestic helicopter industry is not enough to win the carrier-based helicopter supporting project between the two countries, he soon had a new idea.
"Mr. Yang, do you think it is possible for us to take down other subsystems on the aircraft carrier this time, such as the power system and the like, anyway, the aircraft carrier uses a steam turbine, and we still have domestic production of that thing, and other Western countries have rarely set foot in this aspect."
this
This seems to be a really good idea, as far as the power system used on the aircraft carrier, that thing is still best to use a steam turbine, to say that the gas turbine can of course also be used, but in terms of the low cost required by Brazil and Thailand, the gas turbine is used on the aircraft carrier, I am afraid that the cost of the entire power system, as well as the later use and maintenance, I am afraid that it is quite unbearable.
The most important point is that these two aircraft carriers require catapults, and that guy is destined to use steam power, and there is no other choice.
"Hey, this is quite reasonable, when the time comes, I must talk to the comrades who have come from China, or simply wait until the people from the Bazin shipyard over there come over, and bring it up directly, I think it is completely dramatic to take down the power system of the aircraft carrier this time."
After saying that, Yang Hui was very happy, this is the power system for large warships such as export aircraft carriers! In a republic that has always been known for its heart disease, it would be a remarkable breakthrough to have such an order! (To be continued.) )
