Lin Yuan came to the floating dock, the place where the battleship launching ceremony was held, and saw the whole picture of the mocking wind ship for the first time.

It is said that the mocking wind ship is beautiful because its appearance is very different from the warships of this era, the masts of the warships of this era are fixed to the deck with ropes, a large number of ropes are like a spider web, and there are various observation cabins on the mast, like dead insects on the spider web, while the mocking wind ship adopts an integrated shape design, which is very similar to the stealth structure of modern warships, and the hull is painted with silver-gray paint, which looks particularly eye-catching.

The reason why Lin Yuan feels that it is "empty" is because there are too few things arranged on it, starting from the bow of the ship is a twin-mounted main gun, the caliber is 180 mm, the position behind the naval gun to the bridge is more than 30 meters blank, there is nothing on it, the bridge is also empty, only there is a spherical radome at the highest part of the mast, Lin Yuan knows that it must be a sea warning radar, because this kind of radar is generally placed in the highest position of the warship, because the target height on the ocean is small, and it is easy to be blocked by the curved surface of the earth.

There is only such a radome in the whole warship, behind the bridge is the power section, there are two chimney-like things on the power section, they can be called chimneys when using steam turbines, and when using gas turbines, they are called intake volutes and exhaust volutes, which are equivalent to the intake ducts on an airplane, and air flows from the intake volute into the gas turbine, and then burns in the combustion chamber, pushing the propellers to do work, and then from the exhaust volute into the atmosphere.

The end of the power section is the stern, in modern warships here is generally a helicopter hangar and helipad, but now the helicopter has not been developed, so this section is empty, but a twin turret is also installed, and the whole warship can not see the figure of depth rocket launch tubes and depth charge launchers, but this is not surprising, after all, the enemy in this era does not have submarines.

Wan Ling seemed to see Lin Yuan's thoughts, pointed to the warship and said: "There are still many things on our warship that have not been installed, first of all, missiles, our missiles are still under development, and there is also fire control radar, so a lot of blank spaces you see are set aside for missiles and radars." ”

Wan Ling pointed to the space between the ship's guns and the bridge with his hand, and said: "There is a set of universal missile vertical launch system, on which not only large ship-to-ship missiles can be launched, but also ship-to-air missiles can be launched, if the enemy can produce aircraft in the future." ”

"Now Gao Lao and they are all researching flying missiles, all flying in the atmosphere, and when we develop ballistic missiles in the future, which can fly out of the atmosphere, we will be able to launch satellites, and then we will be able to equip the global navigation system, and then we can use the vertical launch system to launch cruise missiles, and then as long as we want, our missiles will be able to hit the whole earth!"

Wan Ling pointed to the top of the empty bridge and said: "You see there is only one radome, and the blank spaces are reserved for the new radar, you also know that different radars emit different frequencies of electromagnetic waves, and radars of different frequencies have different characteristics, such as electromagnetic waves with relatively low frequencies, which can not be affected by the curvature of the earth and achieve over-the-horizon detection, but the accuracy of such electromagnetic wave detection is very poor, and it is not suitable for sea and air warning radar." ”

"The frequency of the radar suitable for air-to-sea alert is higher than that of the over-the-horizon radar, but it is also not suitable for fire control radar to guide missile and artillery attacks, the frequency of the fire control radar must be higher, and if you want to obtain a high frequency, you must use advanced magnetron, which is being developed; Fire control radar also has high requirements for data processing, so we need high-performance microprocessors, which are computer chips in layman's terms, which require the progress of integrated circuits and semiconductor processing technology, which is still being studied. ”

Lin Yuan nodded, and then asked, "What about torpedo tubes and sonar?" Is it installed? ”

Wan Ling said: "The difficulty of developing a torpedo is definitely no less than that of missiles and radars, so we have not developed them yet, but we have installed torpedo tubes, and we can equip torpedoes in the future, as for sonar, because the enemy does not have submarines, we have not installed more sophisticated and complex anti-submarine sonar, only echo sounders and echo logmeters." ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Since this is okay, anyway, it is more than enough to fight the fleets of the great powers in this era." ”

At this moment, an attendant came over and asked, "Chief Engineer Wan, is it time to start the launching ceremony?" ”

Wan Ling nodded, and the entourage said again: "Do you want Lin Shuai to say a few words?" ”

Wan Ling looked back at Lin Yuan and said, "I didn't want you to speak, do you want to speak?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Then I'll just say a few words, it's not good not to talk when you come." So Lin Yuan walked to the microphone and said loudly: "I don't have much to say, I just want to say, everyone continue to work hard, we will build more warships in the future!" No enemy will dare to bully us anymore! ”

Everyone cheered for a while, and an officer said loudly: "Now, the launching ceremony of the mocking wind ship has officially begun, please Lin Shuai open the gate of the floating dock!" ”

Lin Yuan walked to the gate control knob, stretched out his hand and waved it to everyone, and the people below let out a high-pitched cheer, Lin Yuan thought to himself: "This cheer is not bad, at least it is comparable to the one in the British shipyard." ”

Lin Yuan put his hand on the button while thinking, everyone immediately quieted down and looked at Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan pressed hard, only to hear the prompt sound of "Didi Di" from the gate on both sides, and gradually, the gate "rumbled" open, and the water outside flowed into the bottom of the dock "with a bang", and the water became more and more, slowly lifting the mocking wind ship.

The mocking wind ship is getting higher and higher, and gradually it has risen to the surface of the sea, and the hull of the ship is fixed to the dock on the shore with iron cables, so the warship did not move under the current, Wan Ling said to Lin Yuan: "Let's go on the ship and take a look, we will have a navigation test in a while." ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Great, I was just about to see how fast our warship can run." ”

Wan Ling said: "This warship can reach a maximum speed of 32 knots under the condition of full load, and now it is in an unloaded state, and the speed should be able to reach 334 knots." ”

Lin Yuan and Wan Ling went up to the mocking wind ship as they spoke, and the crew of the mocking wind ship also came to the ship, and the officers who worked in the naval gun, radar, marine engineering, sonar and other departments were all selected from the Beijing ship, and the captain was Wu Xinghai, deputy captain of the flight group on the Beijing ship, in fact, the difference between the pilot and the naval commander was not as far as imagined, and there were many places in common between the air force and the navy, such as learning navigation knowledge.

Lin Yuan shook hands with them one by one, and then went to inspect the sailors, the sailors had already stood behind the naval guns, Lin Yuan took a closer look, and found a few familiar faces in the crowd, they were the cadets Lin Yuan saw at the Naval Officer Academy.

It is also Lin Yuan's idea to let the trainees be sailors on the ship for exercise, after all, there will be more and more warships in the future, there will be no excellent commanders, these sailors will become commanders in the future, Lin Yuan finished the review, and came to the command room to order: "The navigation test begins, the target: radar speed measurement area, forward!" ”
