After visiting the aircraft factory, Chen Shao pulled the still curious Tesla and took him into the Air Force Command Center, where a large area was tightly guarded next to the Air Force Command Center.

After a close inspection, both of them entered the inside, and at this time there were four scientists and dozens of signal corps cadets inside. When the radar was built, Chen Shao didn't feel anything, but when the students went inside to study, they were confused by the equipment. In the end, there was no way, Chen Shao came to see it himself, and only then did he know that there were many new facilities in the facilities in the radar, at least in this era. Elementary computers, monitors, and all sorts of other instruments are simply not understood by these students. In the end, there was no way, so the four senior scientists majoring in electronics were sent here to preside over the work here.

As soon as Tesla came out, Chen Shao thought of radar, handed over the radar to Tesla, and handed it over to him for study, maybe the next kind of warship could be equipped with radar. In fact, now Chen Shao is now trying to build a special radar ship, but he has not been able to make it, and the radar is still too big.

1922: Marconi, the father of radio, proposes a new concept: when visibility is extremely low, radio waves can be emitted and ships can be detected by "echoes" (which are actually reflected waves). The original radar theory. However, the first radar station was built in Britain in 1936, and in 1937 year: the first American warship radar XAF was successfully tested.

The red alert radar is a pulse-Doppler radar, which can fully achieve the function of over-range warning, and the electronic equipment inside is also very advanced, which is completely a super radar system. It's just that the size is really painful.

And the radar of the red alert is just this one, and it will not change according to the level of science and technology, anyway, it is easy to use it. But now combine the radar with the Air Force command center, and this is a complete Air Force command center.

At present, only nuclear power plants and maintenance plants have not appeared in the Red Alert unit, and Chen Shao is still looking forward to the nuclear power plant, and the strong power generation capacity is simply a blessing for the construction of other civilian facilities. But Chen Shao doesn't look forward to the maintenance factory very much, in the game, you can build a base car with a maintenance factory, and now even if you have a maintenance factory, you can't build a base car, so what's in the maintenance factory? Chen Shao also complained from time to time that a broken repair plant was still so tightly hidden, and the radar could be built, but not even a maintenance plant. And where are the spy satellites, and the Red Police base is also cheating. Many years later, when the maintenance factory came out, Chen Shao at that time had a contemptuous idea of his current self, ignorance, and quite ignorance.

When Tesla saw those electronic devices, it was like a person who had been hungry for three days and saw a large table of food, his eyes lit up, and the whole person threw himself on it, and shouted directly: "I declare that from now on, everything here is mine." ”

Seeing such a crazy Tesla, Chen Shao was a little glad that he didn't take him to the console at the base.

Seeing the stunned scientists and students in the radar room, Chen Shao explained: "This person's name is Tesla, and now he is the person in charge here, you have to cooperate with him." ”

After explaining, Chen Shao dragged Tesla up again, stared at him and said, "You remember for me, your first task now is to make these damn things smaller for me while maintaining their original performance." ”

"Report sir, as long as you don't transfer me out of here, everything will be fine, you have to believe that the great Tesla will definitely give you a satisfactory surprise." Tesla hurriedly assured that in order to show his self-confidence, he also slapped his chest a few times.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, but they are all your colleagues and students, you have to take them with you."

"No problem." After speaking, he didn't pay attention to Chen Shao, and Tesla leaned on a monitor and looked at it.

Chen Shao ignored the already obsessed Tesla, and Chen Shao walked out of the radar room directly.

After walking out of the radar room, Chen Shao came directly to the shipyard, the current shipyard is not only here, there is also a civilian merchant ship construction base in Guangzhou, and warships can also be built at any time, but the scale is not comparable with Fangchenggang. Now all the shipyards can add up to 80w tons of shipbuilding capacity per year, this figure also includes warships, but the current civilian ship construction cycle is very long, the cargo ships built now are not the kind of simple merchant ships in the past, now the construction of container ships and ro-ro ships, the displacement has reached 50,000 tons, the displacement of oil tankers has reached nearly 80,000 tons, and even bulk carriers can reach 30,000 or 40,000 tons.

Naturally, with container ships, there are also loading equipment, but at this time the loading equipment is on the wharf of Fangchenggang, and a large wharf in Zhuhai is also being built.

At this time, the Fangchenggang Shipyard had fifteen shipyards, but compared to Western countries, this shipbuilding tonnage could not be compared with theirs. Moreover, now fifteen shipyards have also reached the limit of the Fangchenggang area, and if the shipyards are built, the raw materials will not be able to keep up at all, and the workers' housing will soon be full.

Fifteen shipyards can build forty-five ships at a time, but fortunately, the requirements for the construction of warships and ships are not as perverted as those of later generations. Chen Shao is also sparing no effort to train shipbuilders, and the construction speed of the entire shipyard is not too fast, mainly to allow some new workers to learn and adapt.

There is another issue involved here, which most people don't pay much attention to, and that is that the hardware production capacity of the general shipyard is played to a small part. For example, a slipway and supporting equipment can build and launch many ships in a year, and the amount of utilization only depends on the order. At the end of World War II, the speed at which the United States built a 10,000-ton ship was gradually shortened from 6 months to less than 3 months, and then to 4 weeks, until the 10,000-ton ship "Robert Pirry" was completed and launched in only 4 days and 15 hours, and when it was launched, it did not even dry the paint on the hull, creating a myth in the shipbuilding industry. In the later stages of the war, the United States could basically launch a 10,000-ton ship in seven days.

The current shipyard has no orders at all, to put it bluntly, it is to train workers, and the civilian ships built are all ordered by Longteng Group, and Longteng Group is also the only economic source of shipyards.

From this, we can understand why there can be such a huge increase in shipbuilding production in extreme times, the United States only had more than 200,000 tons of shipbuilding in 1940, and by 1943 it had exceeded 10 million tons. Such an expansion is impossible for other sectors of industry. The reason is that the shipbuilding industry is very flexible in the use of production resources, and after the construction of infrastructure such as docks, one ship can be built in one year so that the shipyard can pay enough salaries to employees and maintain the working status of technical backbones; If there are a lot of orders, 6 ships can be launched in a year; If there is no order, there will be no problem for the time being if you don't start work for a year and a half. Only by training enough workers can we increase the shipbuilding capacity with maximum efficiency, and there is no problem with the hardware facilities, and the Red Alert Shipyard is definitely a first-class shipyard.

The construction of warships cannot be confused with the construction of civilian ships, and the capacity and technical level of a country's ability to build warships cannot be seen from the amount of civilian ships built, nor can it be seen the strength of its maritime industry.

The tragic nuclear-powered aircraft carrier "Charles de Gaulle", this nuclear-powered aircraft carrier began to cut the first steel plate in November 1987, began to be assembled in the Brest shipyard dock in April 1989, launched in July 1994, and officially entered service in September 2000, which lasted 15 years and cost nearly 20 billion francs (about more than 3 billion US dollars) to build, with 12,000 large and small enterprises participating in the country. 100,000 technicians and workers participated in the project, which cost 100 million man-hours! It can be said that France, which was one of the top five in the world of military industry in later generations, almost did its best to build such a warship of more than 40,000 tons, and there were still problems.

According to Chen Shao's requirements, the yield strength of the steel used in civilian ships should reach 200-300 megapascals, and that used in warships should reach 400-500 megapascals. (Modern aircraft carrier 690 megapascals, special alloy steel) Of course, the steel is hard, and its processing and welding technology is naturally very different, and the requirements are much higher, but fortunately, these things can be solved by shipyards.

Moreover, the construction speed of warships in shipyards is gradually slowing down, mainly because the design requirements of some new warships are much more complex than before, and it is impossible for Chen Shao to call all skilled workers to produce warships, so the efficiency cannot be improved.

For example, the speed of warships is much higher than that of civilian ships, the speed of cargo ships and tankers is only required to be 15 to 16 knots, and the speed of aircraft carriers is more than 30 knots. If we take into account the high density of personnel on warships (more than 2,000 people on an aircraft carrier and 20 on a 780,000-ton oil tanker), the dense cabins brought about by the high density of equipment, the extreme complexity of equipment and pipelines, strict safety standards, and high requirements for damage management, we can understand why the hull construction of a warship is so difficult and takes so long.

Internationally recognized "two legs of the shipbuilding industry" one is the construction of the main body of the ship, which requires enough workers, and the other is the ship equipment, which accounts for about half of the total cost of the ship, and its value proportion is even as high as sixty percent on the high-tech value-added ships such as multi-functional ro-ro ships and offshore engineering ships. Chen Shao's current situation is whether he has one leg or a lame leg and a short leg, and in this sense, the southwest cannot be regarded as a complete shipbuilding power.

In later generations, although the United States can hardly be seen in the world shipbuilding market on the surface, it can be considered that it is still a super-first-class powerhouse. Looking at the ships alone, every few years a new 100,000-ton super nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is built, as is commonplace, and the performance of its cruisers, destroyers, amphibious assault ships, nuclear submarines, and other products is leading the world, and by extension, it is the world's best in the fields of power, electronics, materials, marine science, and so on.

And Chen Shao's plan is that there is no need to build too many ships now, you bring out five new workers for me with a skilled worker, and another five will be brought out when a new worker is proficient, so are you afraid that the shipyard will be useless in the future? Isn't it true that the United States can build 10 million tons a year, and that 10,000 tons of cargo ships can be launched in seven days. When I have workers, I'll blow you up.
