Chapter 380
"This kid is really good, so he can spend the money for two advanced warships just like this? But the money is easy to come by, isn't it a bit rash to spend all of it at sea?" The big move of the monopoly was almost speechless, and he said with a wry smile to the chief of staff on the side.

The key is that this kid dares to think and do it and he does it.

8000 million!
How many things do you have to do for such a large sum of money.

For the Mustang fighter jet, the American version costs 4 U.S. dollars, which is more than 50 yuan when converted into the new currency. However, Jinyang Heavy Industries produces it by itself, and the cost is more than 15.

After all, for the cost of materials and labor, Gao Jianwu has realized a complete set of craftsmanship in a purely closed loop.

So in the eyes of the Great Brigadier, this is more than 500 Mustang fighter jets.

After playing air-ground coordination, everyone can't let go of the air force's superiority. As a senior commander, it is not easy to fight a battle that can obtain air superiority.

Once upon a time, everyone was still under the air garbage of the small days, and they couldn't face the main force of the hard steel devils during the day, because the fighters, no matter how garbage, were the combat power that the ground could not compete with.

Not only can you stand tall and see the battlefield clearly, but you can also specifically hit your weakness!

Under the current extremely weak air defense means, fighter planes dominate the battlefield, and in the land in the east, there is no chance for the ground troops to resist at all.

"Brigade Commander, if someone else arranged it like this, it must be a bit sloppy. But Gao Jianwu must have his own ideas in this arrangement. And judging from past experience, his ideas are usually correct." Chief of Staff replied with a smile.

"Chief of staff, you really trust Gao Jianwu. I heard that the warship he is going to build is not easy. When I introduced it to me last time, I was confident to be a cruiser. There is a missile inside, which is very powerful. .I just don’t know if it has been developed now.” The Great Brigadier also laughed.

His confidence in Gao Jianwu was no weaker than that of the chief of staff.It was just whining.Since the rise of Gao Jianwu, he has come all the way.The brigade commander didn't find any mistakes in Gao Jianwu.

Faced with such a big matter of two warships, the brigade commander certainly didn't think that Gao Jianwu didn't have his own overall consideration.

"Don't worry, my brigade commander. Gao Jianwu has always been very confident in his work. If this happens, he will definitely give you good news." The chief of staff said with a smile.

"I'm really looking forward to it. I really haven't seen many destroyers that can beat cruisers. Cannon duels have always been more powerful when the caliber is one inch long. In the ocean, the caliber is justice. Gao Jianwu's Type 051 destroyer, the main The gun uses a 130mm double-barreled naval gun, which is much worse than that of a cruiser. Who doesn't use a large tube of 150mm or more for a serious cruiser? This small caliber means that the power of the shell is missing. "Although the brigade commander had heard the introduction, he was praised by General Gao Jian's Type 051 destroyer.

But if he had never seen a real guy, let alone an actual battle, just based on Gao Jianwu's description, the brigade commander was somewhat unconfident.

If it's so awesome, why haven't the beautiful girls from the other side of the ocean come up with it? You must know that they are the technology leaders in this regard.

Is Gao Jianwu's amateurish design better than the world's most beautiful girl?
Don't you think it's beautiful?

Don't mention the big brigade commander in his heart.

Headquarters there.

There are also many people who have ups and downs in their hearts.

"Leader, it's absurd for Gao Jianwu to do this. The public opinion is a joke that we have started to collect taxes indiscriminately after 10 years. This auction of tobacco and alcohol monopoly rights is indeed a bit of a joke, and the scale is so large that the stalls in the base area are almost It was all shot."

someone muttered.

"This is Gao Jianwu's ability. What's wrong with this matter, you guys, don't follow the short-sighted people from the outside world. I agree with the idea of ​​monopolizing tobacco and alcohol. Let alone the lack of food, the production and sales of tobacco and alcohol It needs to be controlled, even if there is enough food in the future, these two things need to be controlled from the source, these two products have huge profits and huge demand, if we don’t occupy this market, will we let those tyrants transfer all the profits away?”

Obviously this is impossible.

In fact, there are quite a few people in the headquarters who can understand this.

It's just that this matter is still relatively sensitive, and most people don't talk too much.

"But even if this is the case, the income from the auction of tobacco and alcohol monopoly rights must be attributed to the headquarters for overall planning, right? How did it become the independent control of the Ministry of Industry?"

The person who asked this question, although his rank may be relatively high, obviously will not participate in the decision-making of the core class.So the leader gave him a cold look.

"Don't worry about things you shouldn't worry about."

One word from the leader made this talkative person almost break out in a cold sweat.

From then on, he never dared to raise opinions on matters against Gao Jianwu.

After all, Gao Jianwu secretly built an image guided missile destroyer capable of fighting battle fleets and even aircraft carrier fleets. Now people who know this plan can count them with one hand. They are not core figures with military ties, so they have no idea what Gao Jianwu is doing.

Since the funds are still a little rich, Gao Jianwu also planned a plan for a [-]-ton ro-ro cargo ship. In his foreign trade business, he is now running overseas merchant ships. Mr. Situ's American fleet, the business of ocean giants can only be handed over to foreigners to earn.

Now that he has some spare money in his hands, Gao Jianwu feels that he can take the first step in the shipbuilding industry other than warships.

Although there are technical difficulties for the [-]-ton giant ship, there is not much difficulty under the current shipbuilding team that Gao Jianwu has painstakingly collected. Compared with the original time and space, the first [-]-ton giant ship was built ten years later , the current conditions are more mature than the original time and space.

More importantly, Gao Jianwu solved the most difficult problem of qualified marine steel for shipbuilding.

"Professor Yang, my basic expectation is to build a roll-on freighter that can carry 500 trucks, or 500 jeeps/tricycles, and 2000 T300 tanks within a budget of less than 59 million. Cars or tanks can Drive straight up from the port.

A cargo ship with a cruising speed of more than 10 knots and a battery life of more than 1 nautical miles is good.The speed of construction should be fast and suitable for high-volume replication. "Gao Jianwu said to Professor Yang Chen.

"Minister Gao, our manpower is almost saturated under the current plan. Although this merchant ship does not sound too complicated, it takes up a lot of our human resources. After all, it is a 3-ton class. Although Now I have no way of estimating how much human resources will be needed.” Yang Yu received Gao Jianwu’s new order, but he was a little unhappy. The requirements are not low.

This ro-ro cargo ship does not feel like an ordinary merchant ship.

But these are things that the boss's world considers, and Yang Chen doesn't think about anything else, he just needs to find a way to make it.

"I have a merchant ship whose design meets this requirement. It is the Ocean Pioneer, a 134.6-ton freighter-class merchant ship built by Henry Caesar, an American shipbuilder. It is 17.3 meters long, 8.5 meters wide, and has a draft of 14474 meters. The displacement is 2 tons. Equipped with 1 oil-fired boilers, 2500 triple-expansion steam engine, and 11.5 horsepower single-shaft single-propeller, it has achieved a maximum speed of 20000 knots and a battery life of [-] nautical miles.

全船有4-5个货舱,3台吊车,可以满载9300-10500吨货物,相当于几百节火车车厢。海洋先锋级宽敞的货舱可以容纳2840辆吉普车、260辆中型坦克或440辆轻型坦克。”杨楢教授对于海军的战斗舰艇了解的细节不多,但是对于这艘商船的了解却比较多。

After all, as many as 18 shipyards built 2751 super merchant ships of the same type, which supported the sea transportation of the Allied Forces. Since the shipbuilding blueprints were flying all over the sky, Yang Chen even bought a copy!
"It's just him. I think the specifications of this ship are satisfactory." Gao Jianwu said happily after hearing this.

"This hull is easy to build. Compared with a real warship, it is much simpler. The shortest shipbuilding period in the Americas has even achieved a record of 6 months of launching. But it is a bit difficult for us. The 2 oil-fired boilers and 1 We do not have a three-expansion steam engine." Professor Yang Li said.

"The biggest challenge of this freighter is here. If we can get this power subsystem, we will have no problem launching the hull in half a year after the modular design."

"Hiss..." Gao Jianwu gritted his teeth after hearing this, and felt a little headache about it. This power subsystem is not easy to handle now, and international large-scale procurement is somewhat restricted now.

Even if these things sound like outdated goods, it is obviously impossible to have ready-made goods in China. It is really difficult to buy these big things internationally, which is a bit noisy.

The blueprints obtained by Professor Yang Li can only be related to hull manufacturing, and the subsystems do not have a complete set of process production flow charts like Gao Jianwu's blasting technology.

"Can the power subsystem be replaced by our Type 453 steam turbine?" Gao Jianwu asked.

This is an off-the-shelf power subsystem.With the practical application of the Type 051 destroyer, this is also a very reliable power system.

"Of course there is no problem with using the Type 453 power subsystem to drive ocean-class cargo ships, but it is a bit wasteful. You must know that our Type 453 steam turbine can reach 3.6 horsepower alone, which is enough for a [-]-ton cargo ship, and it is used for a [-]-ton giant merchant ship. Without such a strong power, the fuel consumption is too high, and the economy is not good at all. No, it is simply not economical at all." Yang Zhen shook his head.

"Can we use a diesel engine instead? For example, we use an improved 12150LG diesel engine, and now the power output can reach 700 horsepower. If we use four improved 4LG diesel engines, can it also drive a freighter?" Gao Jianwu suggested.

"It is possible in theory, but the improved 12150LG diesel engine is a high-speed diesel engine, which is not very suitable for use at sea," Professor Yang Yan shook his head, and continued, "However, it can be used for short-term emergency, and the cost is higher. Accepted, but if we develop highly economical commercial ships on this basis, we will continue to evolve new diesel engines, and must be able to burn heavy oil. The cost of ordinary diesel is too high, and commercial ships have no benefits at all.”

"Hey, we still have to develop a new reduced version of the 453 power system. We need to put the research and development of small and medium-sized steam turbines and large low-speed diesel engines on the agenda. Alas, the foundation is still too weak, and we have too little accumulation." Gao Jianwu With a sigh.

"Let's try to use the improved 12150LG diesel engine for the first ship." Thinking that there may be an urgent need for a large ro-ro cargo ship in the future.

Gao Jianwu also had to give in.

At least, let's study the construction of the [-]-ton giant ship first. Yang Li and the others have no experience before. If they don't get the blueprints from others and don't practice it, the progress will not be too big.

Who learns by looking at drawings?

It's just that Gao Jianwu will definitely not allow people to study the backward power subsystem that uses coal fuel.

This kind of thing has no future even if it saves money. It is better to invest in the diesel engine and steam power subsystem for in-depth research.

3.6 horsepower is only suitable for the high-speed course of warships. The power needs to be reduced by several thousand to about 1 horsepower to form a series, so that it can match the 1-5-ton giant ship, and can also accumulate experience for the next Lay the foundation for the research of large aircraft carriers.

In order to get a share of the future shipping market, Gao Jianwu must not use outdated coal-fired boiler-driven merchant ships to win the market. In the end, he must rely on steam turbines or diesel engines, long-distance, fast speed, and high-quality new-age [-]-ton freighters. future.

Now there are foundations for diesel engines and steam turbines. One is to increase the power, and the other is to optimize the power reduction. Relatively speaking, the progress of steam turbines with reduced power may be faster to realize the improvement of new models.

After all, there are many technical difficulties that need to be overcome in order to make it bigger. In terms of scale, the requirements for materials and various aspects are lower, and it should be realized faster.

The importance of maritime transportation forced Gao Jianwu to clench his teeth and focus on core technology. The power subsystem cannot be bypassed. After selling the exclusive rights for ten years, he fell behind two Type 051 destroyers. There is still some leftovers. Gao Jianwu not only built a ro-ro freighter to make some preparations, but also invested in the power subsystem to prepare for serialization.

At the critical moment of the [-]st Five-Year Plan, Gao Jianwu will acquire the core technology of the giant ship for sea transportation, and then wait for another fist in the shipbuilding industry in the new round of economic recovery. The world's shipbuilding industry is disrupted ahead of schedule.

With the take-off of the world economy and the golden age of world shipping, the shipbuilding industry will be the first opportunity to enjoy the first wave of dividends from the golden age of shipping, and the next thing is to have a fleet of ships to run transportation.
