"There will be no problem with the power system. How do you consider the propulsion transmission in the rear area?" Liu Yijiu said as he stood at the bridge and headed towards the huge space behind where all had been dismantled.

There were originally several layers here, all of which were dismantled.

The Americans dismantled the eight heavy oil boilers inside, leaving only four steam boilers, allowing China to slowly drive the huge warship back at a speed much slower than the cargo ship.

It was originally very empty, but now the surrounding area has been removed and it looks even more empty.

Only two of the four huge transmission shafts were installed flat at the bottom of the cabin. Even the propeller at the end were replaced by smaller things that were removed from some old warships. The original four-axle double-rudder propulsion structure, due to the American dismantling, only the outermost propeller rudder.

They just allow China to use this to drive the warship back.

It would be very good if China did not tow it back with a tugboat.

"We originally considered using a hybrid power of conventional power and nuclear power, but considering that the technology in conventional power is insufficient, we simply used nuclear power directly. According to the technical parameters provided by the Ninth Institute, two small nuclear reactors were placed at the location where the heavy oil boiler was originally installed... In terms of the propulsion system, four-axis and double-rudder mechanisms were still used. Reactors were placed in the area near the rear of the bridge. In this area, a turbine mechanism was installed in the middle of the pine tree. One can drive one or two drive all the shafts behind and two sets of steering wheels in the front and rear..."

Ai Guoxiu pointed to the empty area in the middle and introduced to Liu Yijiu.

Originally, the boilers of this warship designed by the Americans were mainly placed under the bridge, which was also for the sake of center of gravity.

Now the boiler has become two small nuclear reactors, and the weight has been greatly reduced.

"How to solve the impact of this on the center of gravity?" Liu Yijiu asked.

This situation is very obvious.

"Although the number of nuclear reactors and huge heavy oil boilers is very different, we need a stronger cooling system. At the same time, since the reactor is in the middle, it needs to strengthen protection. Thickened containment is used around it. At the same time, in order to supply the electricity on the entire warship, we will install steam turbine generators in the intermediate power conversion area, so that the energy of the entire warship can be supplied. In the cruise state, a reactor can ensure the use of the use. When high-speed maneuvers and more energy are required during combat, two reactors can fully reach the maximum speed of the battleship of 38 knots by 75% of the power of the two reactors, which is about 5 knots faster than the full power operation of the American heavy oil boiler and steam boiler. Of course, if the full power operation is reached, it can even maintain a high speed of 42 knots for an hour... A nuclear reactor can also reach 25 knots."

The power system will be very strong with the supply of two nuclear reactors.

The maximum speed of 42 knots is also considered a high-speed warship. Even many small frigates and destroyers cannot achieve such speed.

Liu Yijiu naturally had no objection to such performance, but the area behind will save a lot of space because the entire power system changes. In the middle gap area, dozens of Dongfeng-31 missiles will be installed, but other places are vacant.

Another question is whether the domestic imitation of transmission spindles and steering wheels can have sufficient strength.

The Yiahua class used two different propellers. The outer shaft propeller has a diameter of 5,563 meters and a 4-blade paddle; the inner side is a 5-blade paddle with a diameter of 5,182 meters. This design is mainly due to the vibration of the stern when the first ship of the Iowa class is sailing at a high speed, which has been changed to this design.

In order to ensure that Iowa's performance can be improved, Liu Yijiu asked to do it according to the original design from the beginning.

Americans thought they had removed the spindle, replaced the transmission shaft and propulsion rudder. With China's backward industrial foundation, these could only be scrap iron.

But I never thought that Liu Yijiu was very familiar with such battleships.

The design of this slender hull is not because this design is the most reasonable, but because the Americans designed it so that the largest battleship can pass through the Panama Canal lock, there was no way to reduce the width and lengthen the hull. Although the design is conducive to providing speed, it affects the airworthiness.

The shell is fixed and the Chinese cannot modify it at all.

If you want to modify it, it will be rebuilt.

The two battleships that Liu Yijiu brought back from the United States were wasted.

One ship can be used for research, but it is completely unnecessary to build two ships. Therefore, their purpose is to build this battleship with a comprehensive capability of only a little worse than the Japanese Yamato-class during World War II into a more terrifying sea monster, telling the United States that the sea is not an aircraft carrier, and the victory or defeat can be decided.

Director Liu's purpose is to use the American foundation to transform and then scare the American imperialists to let them know what it means to shoot themselves in the foot.

Only in this way can people feel happy.

After all, the Republic has always been following the footsteps of the American imperialists.

Finally, there was an opportunity for the US to catch up with military equipment. How could it be spared?

War cannot be fought, and the competition for combat readiness will never stop.

Forget about fighting will lead to danger, not just empty talk.

"In terms of transmission shafts, we can only try our best to imitate them. In terms of special steels, it is our shortcomings. Although there is no problem in computer simulation, it will take until the final installation to make the trial sail and sail clear..." No one can guarantee it.

The country has only been developing for so many years.

"The strength of the transmission shaft is not a big problem, mainly in the propeller propeller at the tail. Our country has not had the ability to manufacture such large and high-precision propellers. Especially those that are not of the same specifications and models." Ai Guoxiu also emphasized to Liu Yijiu.

"There is no problem in analyzing the material composition of the American transmission shaft? The rest is the processing technology." The manufacturing of heavy equipment, especially high-quality and sophisticated, must be taken seriously.

Ai Guoxiu and Wu Tianhai nodded, and Wu Tianhai said, "It is true that the material is analyzed, and the process problem is the focus. Jiangnan Shipyard has been conducting technical research in this area. However, when manufacturing such propellers, it is impossible to achieve a higher progress. Each pair of propellers has a service life of only two years..."

Two years!

The American Empire was made back then, but it could last for more than ten or twenty years.

"It's just a craft problem?" Liu Yijiu asked in disbelief.

If you have to replace it in just two years, it is really a troublesome thing. Although it only takes a few days to replace the propeller.

The cost is really high.

"This needs to be asked in detail where the Jiangnan Factory is. Two years, it is just a conservative data given there." Wu Tianhai said to Liu Yijiu.

They don’t care about the specific project, they just need to coordinate and schedule.

The shipbuilding unit with the richest experience and the best technical reserves in China said that there is no way, what else can they do?

"Okay, when this is over, I'll go over there and take a look." Liu Yijiu nodded. He had a worried heart, just because he was afraid that Jiangnan Factory would do this on purpose.

This is not a national project, and the Jiangnan Factory has not yet completed the 052 ship, and the orders and funds are not that sufficient. A pair of propellers worth millions is also a considerable amount of money.

"The space below is too large and can be fully utilized. If the weapon system can be installed inside, try to install it inside." Liu Yijiu looked at the warship shell question, then completed modeling in his mind, inferring the space occupied by various parts, and couldn't help but give instructions.

Wu Tianhai naturally has nothing to accept for such a request. "We will use these spaces to give officers and soldiers a large living space, and at the same time, reserve more ammunition. Only in this way can our warships survive stronger."

While walking down the spiral ladder between each floor, we discussed.

The space at the bottom of the warship is the smallest, but after some devices are removed, it looks very large. The widest part is more than 20 meters, and the length is about 20 meters. The narrow space does not look very narrow.

"At the bottom, the space is really small. This place was originally used to store shells, but we don't need too many shells. The main gun shell with a diameter of more than 400 mm will be no longer required. The space is empty, and there is no use for anything else. It is completely possible to install monitoring devices at the bottom. The integrated sonar system can be installed in various spaces at the bottom. The front and middle sections are transformed into torpedo compartments. The sonar system can be integrated to make more rational use of the space here..."

It is estimated that no warships in the whole world will have so many sonar systems at the bottom.

According to Liu Yijiu's requirements, this can completely become a submarine.

It’s not the kind that I saw at the beginning, but the bottom is simply a submarine, but it doesn’t carry submarine-launched missiles.

If necessary, submarine-launched missiles can be installed on the water balance cabins on both sides.

"Horizontal ring array sonar is arranged along the edge of the bottom of the warship, and the intercepting sonar detection part can be released from both sides or the bottom. Passive ranging sonar, side array sonar, underwater collision avoidance sonar, etc., must be arranged. I know that you did not consider this issue, and now you must consider it. Such equipment and anti-submarine cannot rely solely on the anti-submarine helicopters above. With such a large enough space, even if our technology is not advanced enough, we must use it. After the technology is improved, we will replace it!"

Liu Yijiu's words made everyone stunned.
