1337 Abandoned the research on the 053-class frigate

"Director Liu, are we too rash in this way? It is impossible for a submarine that is faster than an aircraft. Moreover, even if such a situation occurs underwater, the noise is so loud that it is detected by the enemy's dragged sonar." Mai Dongyue said to Liu Yijiu carefully after Xiao Dong left.

In his opinion, such a submarine is of no use at all.

Once discovered by the enemy, it will be directly bombed by the enemy's anti-submarine aircraft and warships.

"So what if it is detected? If it can move at a speed of hundreds of meters per hour, can the bomb diving speed catch up? Or can the torpedo speed keep up?" Liu Yijiu said without comment. "As for whether it can reach this speed, is it possible, a hundred years ago, who would have thought that the plane could fly? Humans could enter space?"

Liu Yijiu's words left Mai Dongyue speechless.

"If you cannot reach this technical level now, it does not mean that you cannot reach it in the future. Moreover, such high-speed performance is mainly used for penetration and combat. When cruising, you must use conventional power. This is the only way to ensure that the performance is at its best during combat. It is no different from ordinary submarines."

"Doesn't this require two sets of power or even more?" Although Deng Jianjun is not a design expert in submarines, he can understand the relevant issues in submarine design. "Especially when submarines at high speed underwater, the extreme water pressure will put the submarine shell problem under greater pressure. The test of submarine shell problem during high-speed collisions is much more harsh than in the air."

"It is true. Materials are the problem we need to solve, and they also have design capabilities. Of course, it is not very possible to achieve the speed of an aircraft in a short period of time, but this can be used as a direction for our development. Only with a clear development direction and then step by step can our country's military technology foundation be deeper. Even if we cannot achieve this goal in the end, it has achieved a lot of development because of this goal, which is also good. What do you think?"

Liu Yijiu naturally knew that even in his own era, the Republic had not reached such a level after more than a hundred years of development, but it had begun to establish bases on the moon to mine helium 3 on the moon, which could supply the earth with thousands of years of energy.

Although humans have been on the earth for many years, they do not know much about the ocean.

Even if the detector can penetrate deep into the deepest part of the sea, it cannot fully understand the ocean world.

Although the resources of the ocean and the resources on the moon belong to all mankind, whoever has the technology to mine first will belong to whom. Originally, mining is to benefit all mankind. However, with this technology to mine, there will naturally be costs and fees.

Set a relatively high goal and work hard towards this goal. Even if you cannot achieve it, as long as there is a breakthrough, the result will be good.

"Is this why our Ninth Hospital is developing rapidly?" Mai Dongyue understood a little. "The goals proposed by many of our Ninth Hospital's projects seem too unrealistic compared to the domestic foundation. However, even if the project cannot be completed, the final development speed is far greater than that of other units."

The development of the Ninth Hospital has always been a bit incomprehensible.

Mai Dongqiang also knew that in the entire Ninth Hospital, the development speed of Institute 701 was not fast at all, and it was only included in the Ninth Hospital system after the launch of the 055 ship plan.

The technical requirements of the 055 ship are indeed very high for them, but for the current technical foundation, they are really high, and many of them cannot even achieve their performance.

However, after several years of development, they have found that although they are still far from the technical standards required to meet, they do exceed other domestic naval equipment research units.

"There are indeed reasons for this, but more importantly, we are different from other scientific research institutes in China!" Liu Yijiu sighed. In fact, the development of the Ninth Institute can be regarded as plundering the development resources of other units.

The money they earn should have been handed over to the state or the military and then redistributed resources.

It’s not just Liu Yijiu who understands that the bosses above are more clear that the overall foundation is too poor and the domestic development time is too short, so they can only concentrate resources to give priority to the development of some.

This is the case for reform and opening up, the economic development ideas in the coastal areas are like this, and the development of domestic military-industrial science and technology systems is also the same. The Ninth Academy raises funds, establishes projects independently, and bears its own profits and losses. The government does not bear the Ninth Academy's funding expenses. At the same time, the Ninth Academy's technical achievements are in line with the use of the military and only purchase orders will be placed when the military has money and plans are available.

It is also an idea for economic development.

"The difference is our management system and capital investment. Mai Dongyue was deeply touched by this point, and the managers of our units did not interfere with the development of the project. If they didn't understand, they would not even decide the direction of the project."

The same is true for Deng Jianjun. "In the past, many leaders of the superior leadership department would interfere with our technical projects and require us to modify the project's technical requirements according to their requirements or preferences. This will cause the project to deviate from the direction during the development process. Every time a leader is changed, the project will have to be modified."

For such a situation, they suffered a lot when they were studying the 053 ship before.

Therefore, their inclusion in the Ninth Hospital system is also the best result.

At the same time, there is no need to consider funding issues at all. Managers only coordinate various work and provide good logistics services, while technicians only need to do a good job is technical research and development issues.

"Money is one aspect, and supporting facilities are also very important. In the past, we were completely unable to dominate the supporting technologies, and we only had the right to suggest." When we think of the previous research and development process of the 053-class frigate, Deng Shijun felt that he was unbearable to look back on the past.

The 531 ship went through too much time from its initial project establishment to its final service.

The most important thing is that the "Hongqi 61" ship-to-air missile used for air defense seriously drags down progress.

At the same time, domestic design capabilities also have some problems, which makes the design of the 531 ship a bit passive.

It was not until 1988 that Hongqi 61 was completely successful!

At this time, the earliest production ships 531 and 532 have been in service for ten years!

If the Hongqi 61 could be completed in 1978, the development of China's frigate would be at least ten years ahead of schedule.

"This was before, and there was no problem now. We are also working on improving the 053-class frigate, and at the same time we have given other units. Our development ideas are completely different from theirs. What I need is our technical reserves and development in this project, rather than the need for too advanced frigate. The Shipbuilding Corporation has introduced a lot of technology from abroad to develop, which is different from the development direction of our high-speed and high-performance and auxiliary large warships. With greater energy, we should devote ourselves to the research and development of the 055 ship."

China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation jointly held the "Type 0532 Missile Frigate Plan Design Review Meeting" with the Navy in August 1982. The meeting reviewed and passed the plan design proposed by Hudong Shipyard. On November 4, 1983, Hudong Shipyard and the Navy's Military Representative Office in Hudong Shipyard officially signed the first contract for the implementation of economic and technological general contracting of China Industrial Products, the "Type 0532 Missile Frigate Construction Contract", which clearly stated that Hudong Shipyard was responsible for the design and construction, with the contract price of 46 million yuan.

This is the first large ship designed and built in the Republic through economic contract system, but because the army implements "simplification and patience" and puts national economic construction first. In addition, economic tensions have adopted the mature technology of the previous 531 ships, and not much has been improved in technical performance.

This is a big technical gap with the 701 Institute.

What Liu Yijiu hopes is that the 701st Institute will not put too much energy into small warships.

The Ninth Academy has a relatively sufficient funding for the time being, so we should study larger warships. Once the technology is mature, it can also be used on other warships.

"If this happens, our technical research in this area will begin to become lagging behind." Deng Shijun said to Liu Yijiu somewhat reluctantly.

"These small frigates cannot carry out ocean-going navigation without the support of large supply ships! What we need is large ocean-going warships with stronger endurance and self-sustaining ability at sea!"

"The country does not need too large warships to implement its defense strategy, and it is only a little farther away from the South China Sea." Deng Shijun did not understand.

Liu Yijiu's idea should be his own.

It is absolutely impossible to be the request of the military leader.

Although, the navy of any country hopes to obtain more advanced large warships.

At the same time, the Navy cannot have too much funds to purchase such expensive warships. Everything has to make way for the country's economic development!

"No need now. When we need it one day in the future, will there be mature technical design in China? What we need to do is technical reserves. Once the country needs it, we can start construction immediately! We can even raise funds for construction ourselves!" Liu Yijiu naturally couldn't say that after twenty years, the country would also need ocean warships to escort domestic merchant ships.

At that time, in the huge China, there was only one Type 052 missile destroyer that could be used.

It's indeed a bit cold.

Of course, this is also related to the short development time of the Republic's Navy.

To be continued.
