Oriental girls are very reserved, and when they meet a man they like, they will not say it lightly, but they will deliberately create opportunities to be with this man.

Originally, it was already an honor for Mhammad to go to the hospital to see Bai Xue, but unfortunately, Bai Xue actually made even more unreasonable requests, first asking to come to Inner Mongolia together, and then asking to go to the shipyard.

The people under Mhammad have begun to be a little dissatisfied in their hearts, such a small technician is really a little too bold, and at the same time, since President Mhammad has not objected, they can only accept President Mhammad's request, and take Bai Xue to the Jiangnan Shipyard together.

Mhammad didn't care too much, Bai Xue was still recuperating from her illness, and it was nothing to take her out for a walk.

Now, Mhammad's mind is on Pakistan's naval build-up.

The strength of a country ultimately depends on the navy, and Pakistan must first develop the army and air force for various reasons.

As for the navy, now it is still necessary to find a low-cost solution, to buy warships directly from the West, which is too expensive, and the hull of the East, with Western weapons, is the most reasonable arrangement.

Mhammad is most concerned about the air defense of the fleet, and now the countries of the East are also in a weak position in this regard.

Due to the backwardness of technology, although we have entered the 80s, the main air defense weapons on the warships of the Eastern countries are still realized by relying on the twin-mounted 37-mm antiaircraft guns, and if a war really starts, it is simply impossible to undertake the task of defending the sea and break away from the protection of our own air force. It is easy to be sunk by the opponent's anti-ship missiles, and those brigades have no real combat capability at all.

It was not until the Shanghai level that progress was made, and by the introduction of the French sea rattlesnake, it was regarded as having short-range air protection. After more than 20 years of development, when the real Chinese Aegis appeared, the Haihongqi 9 and Haihongqi 16 were able to fully undertake the heavy task of building an air defense circle for the fleet.

Now, it's not even the nineties. Even if it is the Shanghai level, it is now in the design stage.

When Mhammad came to the Jiangnan Shipyard, he was also warmly welcomed.

At present, Pakistan's domestic shipyards have carried out extensive cooperation with Jiangnan Shipyard, the improvement of aircraft carriers is nearing completion, and the construction of 10,000-ton oil tankers is being carried out in an orderly manner.

It's a busy scene everywhere, and there's a little episode in Inner Mongolia. Bodyguards are more closely guarded to avoid danger.

Standing on the dock of the shipyard. Mhammad looked at the crane, mounting the huge modules to the hull of the ship, and sparks flew here, which was much larger than the shipyards in Pakistan.

"That's a brigade-class destroyer, right?" Mhammad looked at a destroyer under construction in the distance, its hull drifting outward. Similar to the style of the sixties, it must be at the brigade level.

"Yes, this is a destroyer that we are working on." The director of the Jiangnan shipyard said: "We have built more than a dozen brigade-class ships, which have long lagged behind, and now. Prepare for a series of improvements. ”

With Mhammad and others, I came to the front of the destroyer under construction, and I could see that the hull had entered the outfitting stage, and a naval gun in the tail was gone, turning into a helicopter hangar.

In addition to the workers of the shipyard, there are also some technicians, who are instructing at the scene, one of them is a tall figure, quite eye-catching, he is wearing a hard hat, and the hair exposed inside is already a little gray, this is a veteran figure who has worked hard for the cause of national defense.

"Who's that man?" Mhammad asked.

"Oh? Mr. Pan came to inspect again? The director of the shipyard said: "I don't know, quick, please come over!" ”

Mr. Pan? Mhammad remembered a person in his mind: "Could it be Chief Engineer Pan Jingfu?" ”

"Yes, yes, Mr. President, you know each other?" The factory director couldn't help but ask curiously.

Know, in later generations, these famous people, Mhammad is very familiar with all of them, he has been a military fan since he was a child, and he knows the experience of each of these people well.

In the equipment of the Air Force, Cheng Fei played a great role, Song Lao, Tu Lao and some people played a key role, and the advanced fighters they developed supported the sky of the Republic, and among the land weapons, the king of land warfare was completely made with the efforts of the one-armed chief division, and the navy also has a veteran, that is, Chief Engineer Pan Jingfu!

Born in Zhejiang in 1930, he graduated from the Department of Electrical Engineering of Zhejiang University in 1952. Since 1955, he has been working in the ship design department, and has served as a technician, deputy director, deputy chief engineer and researcher of the 701 Research Institute. As the chief designer, he presided over the design of China's first generation of three types of destroyers, and was the chief designer of the new destroyer. In 1995, he was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

He was the promoter of China's advanced ships, and even the famous Chinese Aegis was designed under his auspices.

Although he is a designer, he also needs to often visit the construction line to direct construction problems, and he can also be seen during sea trials.

Originally, the design of the ship was in charge of the 701, it was in Wuhan, and Mahmad wanted to go to Wuhan to have a look, but now, it seems that there is no need for it, and it can be solved here.

Seeing the old engineer coming, Muhammad stretched out his hand: "Mr. Pan, it's a pleasure to see you." ”

"I'm happy too." Mr. Pan said: "Your country is now improving the aircraft carrier, if there is a chance, I really want to visit." ”

"Always welcome." Mhammad said.

"It's a pity, now the task of improving domestic warships is very important, and we have to design our new warships while improving, and there is really no time to pass." Mr. Pan said.

"Improvements?" Mhammad asked.

"Yes, our brigade is far behind, and if we want to develop new warships and various systems, we need to make great progress, and we can only make gradual improvements on the existing basis, and improve them through guò to expose all kinds of problems." Mr. Pan said.

Building a warship is not building an airplane, a warship is a systematic project, there are many personnel operating together, and the design of all aspects is more important, and it is even more important to gradually improve and test those new technologies when the existing technology is not perfect.

For example, the one in front of us has improved the helicopter take-off and landing platform and studied some problems in the take-off and landing of carrier-based helicopters.

"Now, the most important thing to improve in the country is the air defense problem, right?" Mhammad asked.

When it came to the issue of air defense, Mr. Pan took off his helmet, the top of his head was already obviously bald, and there was sweat on it, he continued: "Yes, our technology in all aspects is quite backward, especially the air defense problem, anti-aircraft artillery cannot solve the problem. Over the years, we have been actively planning to introduce it. ”

For this history of introduction, Mhammad is clear, in the Falklands naval battle, the British Type 42 destroyer, also out of the limelight, after the war, the country tried to introduce some subsystems of the 42 destroyer, such as the most important Sea Javelin anti-aircraft missile, but unfortunately, because the British's asking price was too high, this plan was finally terminated.

"At the same time, we ourselves are constantly overcoming technical difficulties, and now we have our own ship-to-air missiles, which are currently equipped on a frigate and have completed tests." Mr. Pan said to Mhammad as he walked.

Sure enough, at another pier, Mhammad saw a frigate, string number 531, with twin anti-aircraft missile launchers in front and rear, which made Mhammad's eyes light up, and sure enough, it was the meritorious frigate!

As early as 1965, the Huaxia Navy planned to develop the Type 053K air defense frigate on the basis of the Type 65 ship, and then decided to convert the Hongqi 61 surface-to-air missile under development into a ship-to-air missile, and one Haihong Flag 61 ship-to-air missile launcher in the bow and stern of the ship, as well as the ZL-1 irradiation radar, ZH-I command instrument and fire control equipment. Coupled with the main and auxiliary guns and anti-submarine configuration, after the successful development, the 053K specializing in air defense tasks and the 051 Brigade major class for anti-ship missions will constitute the backbone of the naval force.

At that time, the idea was very good, but unfortunately the reality was too cruel, because of the ten-year catastrophe, the progress was greatly slowed down, and it took 75 years to complete the construction, and Haihongqi 61 began to experiment, and it has been stumbling, and in 86 years, it is considered finalized.

Twenty years have passed, and the original design was still somewhat advanced, but now, it has completely outdated. At this time, the "Standard" series, "Sea Javelin" series and SA-N-6 series of anti-aircraft missiles with regional air defense capabilities of the navies of Western countries and the Soviet Navy have been put into service and used in actual combat, and the Haihongqi 61 has been developed, which is already on the verge of being outdated, for example, it simply does not have the ability to intercept ultra-low-altitude anti-ship missiles, and the wings cannot be folded. When foreigners first found out, they thought it was a big thing.

The Haihongqi 61 can be regarded as a finalized type, but it cannot be used as an anti-aircraft missile for advanced destroyers at all, so it is the best choice to continue to introduce it from the outside world.

Walking all the way, they arrived at the conference room of the shipyard, and the two sides sat down again. (To be continued......)
