"Your Guangzhou Shipyard Marketing Department should inspect the qualifications of the subcontractor, and the customer should also understand the strength of the subcontractor, when they must consult your experts, and then you can help us say a few more words...... Wu Xiao said with confidence: "Hey, you don't need to brag, you just need to tell the truth and describe our strength." I believe that in addition to the four companies of Guangzhou, Wuchuan, Mawei, and Jiangnan, it will be our turn......"

"Of course, I will tell them in detail about your technical strength, and I can recommend it to you when the time comes. Xu Wei nodded, this little favor can still be helped. The strength of the friendship is indeed very strong, which cannot be denied, what they lack is only popularity.

"Great, Huaixing, thank you so much" Wu Xiao was very happy, the customers all believe in the experts, as long as it is recommended by Director Xu, those customers will definitely not have any objections, the marketing department is just responsible for negotiating the contract after that.

After saying goodbye to Wu Xiao, Xu Wei returned to the Guangzhou Ship Design Institute. According to the "integration of production and research" system of the Party of Science and Technology, the interests of the design institute and the production plant are tied together, and the main bonus of the design institute is a commission from product sales. If the product doesn't sell well, the designers can only get a basic bonus in addition to their salary. In addition, there is a design responsibility system, the design of the design institute must be recognized by manufacturers and users, and must improve the product design according to the opinions of manufacturers and users, not to say that the design is finished, otherwise you will not get money.

Wen Desi is quite familiar with the faces of some design institutes in later generations, such as a well-known design institute in the north. If something is good, it is my design, and if the thing is not good, it must be that the user is not using it properly, and the manufacturer has a problem with the production. As for the manufacturer's and user's request for modification, then I'm sorry, Lao Tzu's things are good, and they will not change. As a result, this academy has been tossed for decades, uh, except for a bunch of academicians, not a single decent thing has been made. Even copycat foreign products are plausible.

"Oh tong guò up"

"Great, changed it seven or eight times, and finally it's good"

"Long live we have to celebrate tonight, tired for more than half a year, it's finally done"

Xu Wei is the director of the first room (the main battleship design room), and he just walked to the door of the design room, and before he entered the door, he heard the designers inside shouting excitedly.

As soon as he entered the house, before he could ask, someone shouted at him: "Xu Gong, Xu Gong, I just received a notice that [Zhuhai level] has passed the design review."

"Oh, is it? Finally cleared......" Xu Wei was also extremely happy when he heard it, and couldn't help but praise with his forehead: "Great, the drawings of [Zhuhai-level] have tossed us for more than half a year......

The [Zhuhai-class] is the destroyer in the "19o9 Naval Construction Plan", in fact, this class of destroyers was designed as early as September last year, but because the military opinions are not unanimous, it has not been decided.

Probably because of the [Zhuhai-class] first type of domestically produced destroyer, the military bigwigs have great expectations for it, and they attach great importance to it from top to bottom, and the problem lies in "paying too much attention to it". As soon as there are more people, there will be more ideas, and the requirements for warships will naturally be different. The General Staff Headquarters, the General Assembly, the General Logistics Department, and the Navy all have different emphases and put forward different design requirements. Even within the navy itself, there are many different opinions, for example, the requirements of the three major fleets in the North Sea, the East China Sea, and the South China Sea are different.

For example, the "heavy artillery party" strongly demanded more awesome artillery, preferably with a 13um main gun above R1丨. In this way, the [Zhuhai-class] can kill all the same kind in the world in an instant, become a "destroyer killer", and even enough to compete with many types of light cruisers (protective cruisers), and can also provide not weak artillery cover when supporting 6.

The "fast artillery party" hopes to have enough small and medium-caliber guns from 2mm to UUMM to serve as a screen for the fleet, specializing in dealing with speedboats and anti-torpedoes, making it a veritable "destroyer".

The "torpedo party" didn't care about artillery, they thought that torpedoes were a good weapon. Because the "Yu-1" type 6UMM heavy anti-ship torpedo, which was finalized at the end of 196, can definitely be said to be the most advanced torpedo in the world today. This torpedo, powered by oxygen-rich gas and kerosene, can run a range of 4 kilometers at a distance of 15o knots. The worst thing is that it is the world's first guided torpedo, sound guidance. Because the torpedo is too expensive, the cost of a torpedo in World War II was equivalent to a fighter jet, while the hit rate of a direct-sail torpedo was very low, less than five percent, and the vast majority of torpedoes were fired with empty guns. Even if Wende is wealthy, he doesn't want to be this kind of wronged leader.

The most important thing is that the hit rate of the direct-sailing torpedo is very low, and it is also very dangerous for the user. Because direct-sailing torpedoes require a long aiming time, warships or aircraft cannot maneuver during this time and are most vulnerable, and most of the losses of warships or aircraft that carry out torpedo attacks are at this stage. And the torpedo is indeed a very effective weapon, even if it is a dreadnought, it has to kneel when it is next to a few, so Mr. Wen directly went to the guided torpedo.

The [Zhuhai-class] in the minds of the "torpedo party" is a heavy mine-mounted destroyer capable of firing more than a dozen heavy anti-ship torpedoes at a time, and when combined with the advanced torpedoes that have already been finalized, it is definitely a weapon of great destruction. During the decisive battle of the fleet, more than a dozen destroyers rushed high to the enemy's battle line and fired more than 100 advanced torpedoes in one go, ensuring that the opponent's capital ships would be half-crippled if they did not die. This picture is very sour for them to think about......

In addition to these three types of opinions, there is also the debate between the "High Party" and the "Voyage Party". The former hopes that the [Zhuhai-level] can hurry up and hurry up again and become a powerful decisive battle assault weapon. The latter requires the [Zhuhai class] to have a large range, good seaworthiness and habitability, and can cruise at sea for a long time. This is to use the [Zhuhai-class] as a cruiser.

In addition, there are some strange brain holes, which will not be explained here.

In the past, the drawings of the [Zhuhai-level] were tossed back and forth by the military bigwigs, and this side was not clear, and the side was satisfied and this side was not. But if they all meet their requirements, the displacement of [Zhuhai-level] will have to be greatly marked, not to mention that 26 tons can't be taken, I'm afraid 66 tons can't be stopped. made a bunch of designers cry, and the drawings were changed

After Mr. Wen knew that [Zhuhai-level] could not be finalized for a long time, he became angry. A bunch of military bigwigs were called in for a bad scolding and ordered them to get it done by August.

According to Mr. Wen, "What do you think? Destroyers are all-rounders, but they are not panacea. At present, this kind of destroyer is to accompany the fleet in combat, and all unnecessary functions have been cut, and it is necessary to complete the finalization before August, first solve the problem of whether there is one, and then solve the problem of whether it is good or not. As for how to meet the other requirements, it's stupid, and we don't just build a destroyer."

In the end, under the prediction of Mr. Wen, the [Zhuhai class] returned to the original design - "general-purpose fleet destroyer". Its main numbers are: the waterline is 2o meters long, 2 meters wide, the draft is 41 meters, the standard row is 21oo tons, the full row is 6 tons, and the long bow ship type. The power system is 4 new medium diesel engines, 26 axle horsepower, two-shaft drive, maximum range of 3 knots, cruising range of 15 knots, and a maximum range of 36 nautical miles. It is armed with 6 single-mounted 13UMO double-diameter guns, -seat twin 4OMM 6-double-diameter high-level dual-purpose guns, 4 twin 2mm machine guns, 6 twin 2mm anti-aircraft machine guns, and 2 4-unit 6UMM torpedo tubes. The capacity is 18o, and the budget cost is 2o yuan.

Because it is a destroyer, the armor is weak, only the conning tower and the main turret have 1o2o mm armor.

Xu Wei happily asked, "Oh, when will the construction start?" How much is it planned to build?"

The colleague replied: "I heard that the construction will start next week, in fact, the materials are ready, and now the design is finalized, and the construction can start at the end of B." I heard that the central government is urging very tightly, and we have four ships in Guangzhou, Wuchuan, Mawei, and Jiangnan to build at the same time, and the navy has placed an order for ships this time, and we have a share of the Guangzhouship. The superiors demanded that it should be completed within one month, and it was difficult to work in three shifts in the factory......"

"Great" Xu Wei patted the table: "But our task is also very tight, now we must pay close attention to improving the design of [Fuchunjiang-class], after this meeting, Chief Engineer Liu said that we want to complete all the designs before September 15, and the general assembly and the navy will organize the design review." The start time cannot be past the end of this year, so everyone has to work hard. ”

The colleagues replied, "Okay, Director Xu, there is no problem with this. The design of the [Fuchunjiang-class] light cruiser is basically completed, only some details need to be perfected, we will work overtime, and we will be able to do it at the end of this month."

The Chinese people of this era are very enthusiastic about things related to the country, such as Xu Wei, and the people in their design institute are all willing to work overtime.

In fact, the busiest department of the design institute is not the design room, but the drawing room. You must know that the full set of drawings of [Zhuhai level] has a total of seventy or eighty tons, and each manufacturer has at least four copies, plus the final assembly, the navy and the design institute themselves, at least 2 sets of drawings are needed, and there are more than 1,000 tons of drawings alone. At present, if you only rely on the Guangzhou Shipyard Design Institute's own drawing room, it will not be able to keep busy at all, so the superiors asked them to break down the drawings into more than a dozen copies and assign them to the drawing rooms of other units to work together.

Now not only the designers in the first room are busy, but also the second room (large civil ship design office) is also busy, but they are not busy designing, they are busy holding meetings and assigning personnel.

Meng Deguo, director of the No. 2 Office of the Guangzhou Shipyard, said at the meeting: "Comrades, starting this year, the task of military products is very intense, and the factory is no longer busy. The company decided to outsource part of the production of the liberation wheels. Because the liberation wheel was designed by our second room, the company asked us to send people to the outsourcing factory to squat. Those new factories and small factories are inexperienced, and if we don't send people to guide them, it is likely that something will go wrong. ”

"Director, for those factories?" someone asked.

Meng Deguo replied: "It's not sure yet, but although the liberation ship is much simpler than a warship, it also requires a 66-ton dock to be manufactured." At present, Guangdong has the ability to manufacture liberation wheels, and there are only three of them: Fangcheng, Zhanjiang and Lianyi. I estimate that all three of them will be selected, and the demand for liberation wheels is very high. China's long-distance transportation company alone ordered 6 ships. ”

The "Liberation Wheel" here is the famous "Freedom Wheel" of the original time and space. Because the trade volume between China and foreign countries in this plane is much larger than that of the original time and space, last year the grain alone reached 1.86 million tons, and the demand for all kinds of cargo ships is huge. In the past few years, although the China long-distance transportation company under the Xingke Group has also purchased a large number of cargo ships, it is still far from enough, and most of the goods are mainly transported by foreign merchant ships.

With the skyrocketing volume of China's trade with overseas countries, it is not a solution to rely on foreign merchant ships for transportation, not to mention the high cost, and it is not possible to train domestic seafarers. Subsequently, the CSD used airship technology and European countries to exchange a number of merchant ships, but most of these merchant ships were second-hand ships, with poor performance, and the specifications and models were also chaotic, making it inconvenient to manage them in a unified manner. In fact, this cannot be blamed on others, there is no unified standard for merchant ships in this era, and there is no serial model, almost every ship is different.

Of course, it is also possible to order new ships from foreign countries, but the situation in Europe is tense at this time, and the two major groups are vigorously bombing warships, and the orders of civilian ships have basically to be postponed. There is no problem in the United States, but it is not enough to rely on their productivity alone.

Therefore, after the liberation of the South, the CSD began to design its own standard merchant ships. According to Wende's requirements, such ships must be standardized, suitable for mass production, and built quickly and cheaply. The one that best meets these requirements and meets the current technical conditions of production is undoubtedly the "free wheel" of the original space-time.

So the designers of the CSD adopted the "Liberty Wheel" as a prototype and made a series of modifications according to the current technology, and finally became the world's first standard merchant ship, which was named the "Liberation Wheel" by Wen Desi himself. Compared with the prototype free wheel, the main improvement is the increase in structural strength, because the free wheel was originally regarded as a disposable product, and there is a problem of low structural strength, and even disintegration in the event of large waves. The structural strength of the "Liberation Wheel" has been greatly improved, at least there will be no oolong incident that is broken up by the waves.

Despite a series of magic changes, the cost of the "Liberation Ship" was still much cheaper than that of a merchant ship of the same tonnage at this time. The U.S. shipyard quoted $1.36 million (roughly equivalent to $210,000 in 1941, when the average cost of a "freewheel" was $18o). Compared with its 556-ton carrying capacity, this price is already very cheap, and China's major shipping companies have placed hundreds of orders in one go.

Originally, these orders were in the large state-owned shipyards of Guangzhou Shipyard, but now these large factories are busy with military products, and many lists of "liberation ships" are about to be released.
