Chapter 529 Ding Wei has too many external means
As the cruiser was salvaged, the repair plan was also being rapidly modified and adjusted.
It's really embarrassing that the technicians on hand have never come into contact with warships of the cruiser level.
At a time when others already had aircraft carriers, heavy cruisers, and battleships flying everywhere, we didn't even have a light cruiser.
We took inventory of the ship's weapons, equipment, and instruments, and invited technical advisors from Sakura and Maoxiong to come and participate in the discussion.
Although the Japanese were defeated, their naval technology is worthy of our attention.
Especially the other party introduced the technology of the British Empire on a large scale.
From the beginning, he made his fortune by learning naval technology from the British. Now that he is repairing the Yamashiro cruiser given by the British, the other party's suggestions are worth considering.
Besides, I almost forgot, this old guy also has a steam turbine.
This is much simpler. The other party's steam turbine technology was also learned from the British Empire.
They were all taught by the same master, and you can find the root by tracing back to the source.
Using the opponent's Kanmoto-type heavy oil boiler + Kanmoto-type steam turbine, only two sets of steam turbines + 6 sets of dedicated boilers can achieve a propulsion power of 7 horsepower.
After all, the full load displacement of the Yamashiro is only about 6600 tons, and with a thrust of 7 horsepower, it is enough to achieve a speed of 31-32 knots.
If three steam turbines and nine heavy oil boilers are used, the ship can generate 3 horsepower and reach a speed of 9-10 knots.
I recently took a stroll around the territory of the Russian bear. I was always thinking about the Russian bear and almost forgot that I also have a cherry blossom back garden.
In addition to cherry blossoms, art students can also find corresponding steam turbines.
After all, art students have also built cruisers. Although their level is a bit low, it is better than us who have nothing.
The rapid post-war layout played a crucial role.
We must speed up the construction of power generation in Xiaoshanliancheng. The Northern Shipyard is capable of producing large transport ships. The level of its steam turbines and diesel engines is acceptable, but at the same time, we must acquire an engine factory with a deep technological heritage as a backup.
Ding Wei decided to work with Sakura's steam turbine factory to develop gas turbines.
Subsequent missile destroyers must consider the gas turbine option.
Returning to the method of repairing warships, the Kanmoto-type steam turbine has certain commonalities with the British-Soldier Parsons steam turbine. There is no problem in repairing the power and it can be solved.
After the biggest problem was solved, the next issue was the shipborne weapons.
This is not a problem for Ding Wei. The only thing that is a bit difficult is the shipborne main gun, including shipborne artillery, fire control, radar, anti-aircraft guns, etc.
We have the corresponding artillery technology, and we need to try to produce it.
There is no doubt about the top skills of Manchuria's military industry. With Ding Wei, a hacker who provides various technologies, they have done an excellent job in breaking through the technological level.
The problem is that the production lines and production capacity cannot keep up, and the level of industrialization is very out of touch.
Just wait a little longer, wait for the Russian bear to replace his leader, wait for Mr. Corn to take over, and introduce more than 100 types of industrial aid, which will be enough to take off quickly in the next three years.
The most important weapon of the Yamashiro is the 152mm naval gun, with two twin-mounted front main turrets and one rear main turret.
The secondary weapon is a 102mm naval gun with four dual-purpose twin-mounted secondary turrets, and the firepower is still very powerful.
There is no need to mention the other 40mm and 20mm anti-aircraft guns, most of them are Oerlikon and Bofors. This part of the technology is very common, and these two types of anti-aircraft guns are already excellent enough.
The imitation level of the Manchurian Military Factory is no different from the real Bofors and Oerlikon anti-aircraft guns.
Combined with its own fire control system, its performance is excellent.
The fire control system has performed surprisingly well on the Tianshu No. 1 jet fighter, and can still quickly lock onto the target even when flying at high speeds.
In this regard, Ding Wei is confident that he can achieve top level.
Sea search radars, air search radars, fire control radars, fire control shooting equipment, etc. can be allocated directly from your subordinates.
There are two triple-mounted 533mm torpedo tubes. This is because the Russians have just obtained the torpedo manufacturing technology. Although the two sides are not compatible, they can completely dismantle the original launch tubes and replace them with the Russians.
The difficulty is not very great and can be overcome and solved.
The main and secondary guns are the focus of bombarding destroyers.
If the Japanese military factories had not been dismantled, they would have been able to produce these two types of naval guns.
We have the technology and the drawings, the only thing we are considering is whether to set up a new production line.
A 50mm naval gun with a caliber of 55-152 weighs more than 8 tons.
We can consider adjusting the naval guns according to the post-World War II technology, and add the artillery and gunpowder technology in Ding Wei's hands. Maybe the 130mm main gun can achieve the same armor-piercing effect as the previous 152mm main gun.
And the emergence of fire control technology has greatly improved the hit rate of artillery.
So we just replaced it with a 130mm main gun and let the military factory try to produce it.
After all the plans are finalized, the maintenance cycle is 1-2 years. We can't wait that long, so we spend money and manpower to shorten the maintenance cycle.
It is April now, and we have the remaining 4 months to sprint.
Led by Wang Chao and Luo Rui, Wang Chao is Ding Wei's representative and can mobilize Manchuria's resources.
Luo Rui is the representative of the Navy and can mobilize domestic resources.
If the Shancheng cruiser can be repaired, it will be of great significance to the navy and to the country's development into a modern navy.
The importance is self-evident and it is worth it no matter how much the investment is.
And Luo Rui has almost become a little fanboy, hanging out in Hulu Port every day. As a deputy commander, his greatest joy every day is watching the cruiser being repaired.
There is no suitable dock to repair the ship in Hulugang. The good news is that the outer hull of the cruiser has not suffered much damage, so a temporary slipway can be built without using its full length.
A half-length slipway would be sufficient to support the repair work.
The railway continuously transported steel, equipment, instruments and devices to Hulugang, and the technical experts from the three parties basically slept on the ship.
After several rounds of discussion, a rehearsal of the repair was carried out.
Only when the restoration success rate reaches over 90% will we consider starting repairs.
Professional things to professional people.
Ding Wei definitely didn't say much on this point. He only did one thing, which was to facilitate the merger of Sakura's steam turbine company and jointly carry out new research and development tasks.
3000 million dollars was invested in one go to develop gas turbines for military use.
The shipbuilding industry is also a hot industry. In the future, there will be many ports in the Far East, which will inevitably lead to the development of warships and transport ships.
Invest in technology research and development in advance, and crush other shipyards to achieve a monopoly in technology and capital.
There is no competition in the fishing industry anymore, with northern fisheries basically occupying 60%, and the rest can be acquired in the subsequent process.
Other sectors have also begun to gain momentum, starting with Sakura's automobile industry, which began by assembling jeeps, military trucks, etc. to supply the war on the peninsula.
You can consider investing funds and acquiring shares in several of his important automobile companies.
