What are the current basic national conditions? If the country wants to develop its economy, the military must be patient!
The Navy is currently tightening its belt and building Type 052 destroyers. This kind of destroyer, which has placed unlimited hopes, has only started construction on two ships. This is because of lack of funds and technology. Various subsystems are imported, which costs a lot of money. Too big.
However, this kind of small missile boat is different. It has small displacement and low construction cost. The funds of one Type 052 destroyer can be used to build hundreds of missile boats. If the combat effectiveness of this kind of missile boat can be improved by leaps and bounds, If you make progress, it will be even more outrageous.
Thinking of this, everyone was extremely excited, and they began to continue to pay attention to the design.
"The main weapons of this missile boat, in addition to the missiles at the tail, there is also a naval gun at the bow, but this naval gun looks a bit weird." Zhang Zhen said.
At present, there are only a few types of main naval guns in the navy. The old Type 051 uses a 130mm gun, the Type 053 frigate uses a 100mm gun, and the Type 052 destroyer currently being built uses a gun imported from France. 100mm naval gun. In terms of small-caliber naval guns, they are mainly twin-mounted 37mm naval guns, used for anti-aircraft shooting.
Except for the naval guns imported from France, the others are all manually loaded and their performance is quite backward.
(To give a brief introduction, the Luda-class and Luhu-class are all names given by NATO. We don’t call them that in our country. If in a novel, the protagonist talks about how the Luhai-class is every day, then it’s really a bit strange. Neither fish nor fowl. Domestic models are generally called digital models.)
Now, the naval gun that Qin Tao drew on the design drawing has an angular turret and looks very tall. However, you can guess that it is just like the missile launch tube, but with a stealth cover on the outside. It’s just a shell, but the focus is on the inside. What’s inside?
It is different from any existing weapon in the Navy!
"This is Lao Maozi's AK-630 rapid-fire gun." Qin Tao introduced it immediately: "This rapid-fire gun uses the Gatling principle. It has six 30mm-caliber barrels and can be fired in a short time. A large number of projectiles are fired at the flying missiles, forming a dense barrage. With all due respect, our current double-barreled 37mm anti-aircraft guns are very ineffective at intercepting enemy anti-ship missiles. This kind of rapid-fire gun must be used That’s all.”
"Yes, you are right, but how can we install Lao Maozi's rapid-fire cannon on our own warships?"
"Of course it's our own imitation version." Qin Tao said: "Don't the navy realize that its air defense is weak?"
Everyone present could only smile bitterly.
The Navy's anti-ship capabilities are first-rate. The YJ-81 missile is known as the Chinese Flying Fish. Although it has not been used in actual combat, it is still powerful enough. An extended-range version is currently being developed to further improve its strike capability.
However, it is very weak in preventing enemy missiles.
Similar to the Aegis system of the U.S. Navy, the Navy can only look at it with greed. Even if it is a short-range air defense missile, the Navy currently only has the Sea Sidewinder imported from France.
This kind of missile, with a maximum range of only about 10 kilometers, also has the ability to intercept once. If it cannot hit the incoming anti-ship missile, it will have to rely on the close defense system. The Navy's double-barreled 37mm cannon, that is, it needs a Just for comfort.
It would be great if there was such a rapid-fire cannon!
However, the problem is that introducing any weapon system costs money! The Navy has already spent all its money on the 052 destroyer. Where can it find the money to develop such a weapon system?
Moreover, judging from the weapon systems on the 052-class destroyers, the country is going to follow the Western path, and the weapons introduced are all Western weapons. Do we still need to buy Lao Maozi's weapons?
Everyone's heart is bitter.
Zhang Zhen suddenly had a thought in his mind. He inexplicably thought of those torpedoes. They were a secret. Not everyone present knew about it. Since those torpedoes could be obtained, then this AK-630 rapid-fire cannon, You can do the same thing!
"What is the maximum speed of this speedboat?" Someone changed the topic. Talking about the air defense system, they were a little depressed, so let's talk about something else.
As a missile speedboat, speed is a must. According to the original indicator of a high-speed catamaran passenger ship, it is forty knots. So, what about this kind of missile boat?
"We plan to use water jet thrusters. If two water jet thrusters are installed, the speed can reach 40 knots. If four water jet thrusters are installed, the speed can exceed 50 knots."
"What? Waterjets?"
Just now, everyone only paid attention to the overall layout, weapon system, etc. of the missile boat. Now, they are paying attention to the propulsion system. Qin Tao actually installed a water jet propeller on it?
"Yes, our speedboat has a very high speed. If we use a traditional propeller, the noise and vibration will be great. Using a waterjet propeller can greatly reduce the noise and vibration. We can't escape the enemy's sea search. Radar, it turned out to be clearly heard by someone else’s sonar, right?”
"Furthermore, missile boats may operate in shallow water areas. If they use propellers, they may be trapped once they become entangled in aquatic plants and other things. Waterjet propellers can reduce these risks."
There are quite a lot of advantages of water jet thrusters. Everyone knows this, but the problem is, no one has seen it before. Is this thing reliable?
Seeing the suspicion of these people, Qin Tao smiled and hung up the second design drawing.
"This kind of water jet propulsion sounds very high-end, but in fact, it's just an extra-large water pump." Qin Tao knew that these people had concerns, so he brought the design drawings.
This is the design drawing of the S-series propeller of KaMeWa, a subsidiary of the British company Rolls-Royce. Qin Tao pointed to the drawing and introduced to everyone: "The water inlet is at the bottom of the ship, and then it is sucked into the middle pump, and then ejected backward. Since the direction of the water flow can be changed, there is no need for a rudder, just control the tail baffle. The main body is made of stainless steel. The processing accuracy must be high, which is the key to avoiding vibration and noise."
"As long as you give me permission to use the five-axis linkage CNC machine tools we imported, I can ensure sufficient processing accuracy and make this water jet propeller meet the design specifications. Of course, if you have any concerns, , we can also consider importing a batch from abroad." Qin Tao said with a smile: "Anyway, the ship we are currently building is just a catamaran passenger ship."
