Chapter 341 The Sea Supercar Is Born, The Terrifying Sailing Speed, The Qiong Navy Exercise Starts,
"Commander Qin, all officers..."
"Let's...let's take a look at the situation in the cabin first."
Gu Bai raised his hand slightly.
Leading a group of officers and members of the expert team, walked into a cabin door and walked along the gangway to the engine room.
engine compartment.
This is the worst area on a ship, with strong smell of oily smoke, stuffy air, and deafening noise...it is simply not a place for people to be fruitful.
Whether it is a sailor or a sailor, the least favorite place to go, the engine compartment must be ranked first!
This moment.
When Qin Beihai and the others heard that they were going to the engine compartment, their faces drooped, and they all covered their noses... The smell of the engine compartment is quite strong!!
After a while.
When a group of naval officers came to the engine room, their eyes lit up and they saw a completely different scene.
"My God..."
"What's going on here... The engine compartment of the Sea-D type has always been cramped and the space is so small that people can barely stand there..."
"Why is it so empty after the renovation?"
"And...the air is so fresh?"
One officer wondered.
Presented in front of everyone at this time is a spacious and bright hall, two sci-fi style carbon fiber casing engines are placed on the left and right sides of the room.
Next to it are two generators, several energy storage devices, neatly installed cables, etc.
"Ha ha..…"
"In the previous engine compartment, four huge LM2500 gas turbines were installed, not to mention taking up a huge space, and there is a pungent smell..."
"After installing two Neptune gas turbines, the engine compartment is really too spacious."
"Coupled with the cool air conditioner, it's so comfortable to stay here."
Another officer sighed.
Not just the engine bay.
The mechanical transmission device of the entire ship, that is, the large mechanical shaft of the ship, was safely removed, and a huge space was also vacated.
And these spaces can be used to place important materials such as weapons, ammunition, and fuel.
"Smell wise..."
"These two Neptune 22 gas turbines are very airtight and do not produce any peculiar smell."
"In addition, the complex mechanical transmission structure was removed."
"It makes the air in this cabin look brand new, and there is no annoying smell of oil anymore!"
An officer who is sensitive to smell analyzed.
The original engine compartment.
Four large gas turbines, coupled with a complex mechanical structure, require a large amount of lubricating grease, and various mechanical oil leaks, resulting in an indescribable taste.
But now that it is fully electrified and the mechanical transmission is replaced by cables, it is naturally tasteless.
"Mr. Gu...not bad..."
"For a ship, the tonnage is the combat power.."
"In the case of a fixed tonnage, increasing the internal space is equivalent to changing the direction to increase the 'tonnage'
"This modification, the military is very satisfied!"
Qin Beihai nodded repeatedly.
Hai-5D is a guided missile destroyer. Its main combat power is to launch various sea-based missiles.
The number of loaded missiles is crucial to combat effectiveness.
And according to his observation.
The extra space after the modification is enough for the warship to load 20 to 30 more sea-based missiles, which is equivalent to increasing the bomb load by about 20%.
The improvement is nothing short of insignificant!
Check the engine bay, after the transmission.
a group of people.
Came to the command room of the ship.
"Report."
"Nankun 117, all preparations have been completed and can sail normally, please give instructions!"
A soldier saluted and said.
"good"
"It's a mule or a horse, Sira has come out for a walk...the warship starts..."
Qin Beihai nodded lightly.
After some inspection, he was very satisfied with the air-conditioning, space and smell of the warship.
But whether a warship is good or not, you have to drive it to know!
at the same time.
All the high-ranking naval officers in the command room and the members of the naval expert group, one by one, also had looks of anticipation on their faces!
power!
It is the biggest demand of this modification plan.
Originally, the Nankun ship used four LM2500 gas turbines from Mercedes-Benz MTU, with a single power of 10,000 horsepower per unit and a total power of no more than 40,000 horsepower.
And now, the newly installed two Neptune gas turbines have a single power of 100,000 hp/solar and a total power of 200,000 hp.
tsk tsk...
The power of 200,000 horsepower is used on a warship with a displacement of 7,500 tons, and the proper W12 engine pulls a small steel gun.
How the speed will be, everyone can't help but be full of anticipation!
"start up!"
hum~
With an order, the whole ship trembled slightly, and the two Neptune engines started, and the motivation was converted into electric current, which was sent to the motor at the stern through the cable.
Under the action of the current, the motor rotates crazily, driving the propeller to start to rotate, stirring the water flow, and pushing the boat forward a little bit.
In a blink of an eye.
Navy 117 Nankun sailed away from the dock and entered the calm sea.
only...
What shocked all the officers in the command room at this moment was that the sound of the ship starting was too eerily quiet.
from beginning to end.
Only the sound of the propeller hitting the water surface can be heard, the sound of the engine, the sound of the drive shaft, nothing can be heard!
"It's too quiet!"
"My dear... It is indeed an all-electric propulsion warship. Without the noisy mechanical transmission device, the kinetic energy of the ship relies on electric current, and the noise of the whole ship is greatly reduced!"
"That's right... This is a big guy with a displacement of 7,500 tons, but the sound is only a little bit!"
"By the way... such a quiet warship, I'm afraid it can easily fool the enemy's sonar."
"Not bad... Such a quiet transmission, it is estimated that ordinary sonar can't detect it at all!"
"At sea...silence equals invisibility!"
There was a discussion.
Obviously the officers were also shocked by the quietness of this ship.
This is not surprising.
Just like trams and petrol trucks.
No matter how advanced the oil truck is, the sound of its engine and transmission is unavoidable, and it is inevitable for some companies.
The tram is simple, with almost only a slight motor sound, and the whole journey is very quiet.
"For the Navy."
"If you want to sail secretly without being discovered by the enemy, the easiest way is to reduce the noise and fool the local sonar.
"With the quietness of this 117 Nankun."
"I think most of the sonar in the world, I'm afraid it's hard to find it.
Qin Beihai also nodded.
As an old navy.
Naturally, he is very clear. Silence is tantamount to stealth, which is very important for warships.
clatter...
The warship has been maintaining a slow speed, slowly sailed out of the offshore waters, and entered the vast open sea.
away from land and busy shipping lanes.
It's also possible... have fun!
"President Gu..."
"How about... let's speed up?"
Qin Beihai licked his lips, and a look of anticipation flashed in his eyes.
Originally speaking.
The speed of Hai-5D is up to 25 knots, which is 25 knots, which is equivalent to 46.3 kilometers per hour.
For a 7,500-ton guy, this speed is not bad.
now.
Qin Beihai and other naval officers are undoubtedly very concerned about how much the speed will be increased after installing two 100,000 horsepower gas turbines.
"good."
"Speed up...both left and right engines, to mid-range!"
Gu Bai smiled slightly.
An order was issued to the operator, and immediately the instruction was passed through the computer and input into the two engines, and the engine speed soared accordingly.
There is one thing to say.
Another advantage of all-electric propulsion is that it accelerates extremely fast. After all, the transmission efficiency of electric current is much higher than that of mechanical transmission.
In the blink of an eye.
The speed of this 117 Nankun is soaring!
5 knots!
10 knots!
20 knots!
30 knots!
40 knots!
45 knots!
Like a runaway wild horse, the warship soared rapidly, from a slow speed of 5 knots to a speed of 45 knots.
That is equivalent to... 45 knots, which is 83 kilometers per hour.
on land.
This speed may not be a big deal, but at sea, a speed of 45 knots can almost be called a supercar!
....
"So fast..."
"My God, sitting on a boat for the first time, I felt a push back!"
"I'm a little dizzy..."
degree, come on
"It is said that the Zumwalt-DDG1000 in North America is only 31 knots fast!"
"45 knots, my God, that's almost the fastest destroyer in the world, isn't it?"
"A speed of 45 knots, this flexibility is too high!"
"This is a big ship with a displacement of 7,500 tons. It is incredible that it can reach a speed of 45 knots!"
The officers were all emotional.
In the naval field.
Most military ships maintain a speed between 20 and 30 knots.
There is almost no such situation where the speed exceeds 30 knots and reaches 45 knots!
"Everyone..."
"It's about to be captured... Our warship... is about to open a high-end position..."
Gu Bai smiled slightly.
45 knots is just the speed of the intermediate gear, and the two 100,000 horsepower engines are not working at full strength at all.
However, an order was given.
The operator manipulated the computer and adjusted the engine gear to "high", and the conversion of the two engines immediately increased to a higher level.
The terrifying current is also transmitted to the propeller device through the cable!
The speed began to soar!!
48 knots!
52 knots!
56 knots!
60 knots!
Finally...finally...the speed of this warship broke through 50 knots all the way, and reached the terrifying speed of 60 knots.
Do the math...that's 110 km/h.
For a 7,500-ton big guy.
It's just plain fast!
"My God..."
"It's terrible!"
"It feels like this warship...is taking off!"
"I can't imagine...a 7,500-ton warship can reach a speed of 60 knots!"
"This is so meow, it's not a warship, it's a supercar!"
"Sea supercar, this is a sea supercar!"
"It feels like flying over the sea."
"If this speed is used for war, the enemy will not be able to keep up with it!"
"A speed of 60 knots
Used in combat, the mobility is invincible!"
"Ha 583 ha...During a war, this speed can scare the enemy warship into a fool, right?"
The officers were shocked.
previously.
The speed of 45 knots is enough to surprise everyone.
did not expect.
Under the high-end position, the warship soars all the way to a speed of 60 knots, which is a proper supercar level.
for this speed.
The high-ranking officers of the navy naturally liked it very much, and praised it one after another.
Even Qin Beihai showed a hint of deep liking on his face!
Of course...
These two engines also have an "overclocking" gear. Once turned on, the horsepower will soar to 140,000 horsepower, a full increase of 40%.
The speed of the warship will continue to soar!!
After a while.
After Qin Beihai and the high-level officers of the navy fully experienced the charm of the Hai-5D modification, they immediately held a military meeting.
The theme of the meeting is about the next modification.
"President Gu..."
"Your Jian Jia's technology is indeed very powerful. It really opened our navy's eyes..."
"The modified military of this Hai-52D is also very satisfied..."
"so..."
"The military has decided to take out 100 Hai-D warships for the first batch of modifications for the time being. If the effect is good, more warships will be added for modification."
"As for the modification fee..."
"Each warship has two Neptune engines, a total of 50 million yuan; a set of all-electric propulsion system, a total of 50 million yuan.
"This adds up to 100 million per pair of modification costs."
"Total... is an order of 10 billion."
After some discussion.
The Qin Bei Navy officer happily drew up a contract.
10 billion orders...arrived!
"Officer Qingqin, don't worry."
"We, Jianjia, must ensure the quality and quantity of this batch of 100 warships and carry out perfect refitting."
Gu Bai also said very happily.
10 billion funds have been obtained, and it is only the first stage. With the refitting of more warships in the future, there will be a steady stream of orders.
The arms business...still makes money!
"correct."
"Next week...the Qiong Haijun will perform...This 117 Nankun, as the first refitted warship, will also appear at the same time."
"Mr. Gu... why don't you join in?"
Qin Beihai invited again.
"I?"
"Participate in military exercises?"
Gu Bai was both surprised and delighted, he is a capitalist, so why is he going to participate in the military exercise.
But in general.
Participating in the Qionghai exercise is also an honor for a Dragon Country person, so he simply agreed. .
