"This is a serious mistake." Xie Kai sighed, and saw Wang Hengyuan and others' faces change, and quickly explained, "It's not about you, but about me. I didn't think about these specific details at the beginning."

Xie Kai really never thought about it.

The Soviet naval warships have always pursued comprehensive performance and finally created a super arsenal ship like the Kirov-class nuclear-powered cruiser. These 10,000 missiles of all sizes are loaded with more than 500, with anti-ship, medium- and long-range air defense, ground attack and other capabilities. One ship is enough to challenge the US fleet of one or two aircraft carriers!

The design at the beginning had a clear positioning.

Even the Soviet aircraft carriers had powerful firepower systems.

Xie Kai never thought it would be like this at the beginning.

He was just selling a few more warships, originally just selling a gimmick that could attract people. Not to mention the 2,000-ton frigate, even a larger tonnage destroyer may not have such comprehensive functions.

Now, this thing was created, and he found that it was too far from what he expected.

"Bahrain's first, please wear it according to this design... As for Saudi Arabia, let's make an appointment with their military representatives to see how much time it can be added. Various weapon systems can be integrated as much as possible. This is also a good thing for the technical design of our naval equipment." Zheng Yucheng saw Xie Kai embarrassed and spoke.

They had never thought about this before.

To fully exert the role of 053h3 configured like this, the tonnage must be increased.

If the tonnage is not increased, how can I increase the deck area?

If the deck area does not increase, how can we increase the space where more detection radar and weapon systems can be installed?

"I really didn't expect the result to be like this before." Xie Kai really didn't think about this problem. He just thought it could be done like this before. Moreover, the increase in these weapons is definitely enough for the Saudi Navy, which only needs to perform missions in narrow areas such as the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea.

The other party can only take a bath in the Pacific, Indian Ocean, and Atlantic Ocean. If a warship like 053h3 goes, it may drown.

"This is not the problem now. The Hudong Factory has two directions. On the one hand, it is to share technology with 701, and on the other hand, it is to cooperate with the Argentine Navy. The Argentine Navy is very interested in frigates like 053h3. They need technology, but they propose to increase the tonnage..."

After leaving the technical room, Xie Kai and Zheng Yucheng and others sat together to communicate.

No one has a clear plan for the Navy in detail.

It is not that the people at the Hudong Shipyard are greedy for merit and prosper, but that everyone hopes that the national navy has a larger tonnage warship to use.

"Uncle Qi, what's going on? You don't know our situation. Now that we have so many large warships, our funds cannot be supported." Xie Kai looked at Qi Zhiyuan and asked.

Logically, Qi Zhiyuan is not ignorant of priorities.

Nowadays, the entire foundation of naval equipment is extremely weak.

In the 404 development plan, priority was also established to develop Air Force equipment that has achieved some basic results.

In addition to continuing research on the development of army equipment, in addition to some of the strengths of 404, such as digitalization, the rest will be stopped for the time being and handed over to Mr. Zhu to carry out the 99 tank project. The 404 is responsible for how to upgrade the performance of the 359 tank to a higher level.

All projects are still mainly foreign trade.

While taking into account foreign trade, it undertakes some sub-projects for domestic weapons and equipment research and development.

No project can be completely and independently developed by any unit.

"I know, they can't blame them for being anxious about this. The Navy has made it clear that in the short term, it will not build aircraft carriers, but it needs to gradually build and complete the supporting facilities of aircraft carriers by improving naval equipment technology and productivity. The pre-research work will continue, and the training class for aircraft carrier captains has also been carried out..." Qi Zhiyuan introduced the situation.

The Navy is no longer engaged in projects?

Xie Kai found it incredible.

The Navy had always wanted an aircraft carrier before.

"Not to mention how much funding and technical accumulation are needed. Even if the aircraft carrier is built, we don't have enough supporting warships. Didn't you say this before?" Qi Zhiyuan said.

Zheng Yucheng also sighed.

The foundation is too poor and the economy is not good. No one wants to accept the consequences like this, but he has to recognize the facts.

"The frigates at the Hudong Shipyard cannot provide escort for aircraft carriers at all. They do not have ocean-going capabilities. Even if they are accompanied by supply ships, the draft is not enough. If they encounter too harsh environments at sea, they will not be able to resist... This is why so far, the H2 leased to Saudi Arabia has not yet set sail. We do not have much experience in ocean-going navigation. Especially when there is only one supply ship accompanied..." Qi Zhiyuan introduced some reasons that cannot be disclosed to the outside world.

This time, the Chinese Navy took the farthest route and was responsible for various important tasks such as pioneering the way, obtaining hydrological conditions, accumulating experience in navigating unfamiliar seas, etc. In this way, we must make complete preparations.

Once problems arise during the voyage of tens of thousands of miles, it is foreseeable how big this will strike the entire Chinese naval.

"But no matter what, we must obtain hydrological conditions before the warship production is completed and delivered to the customer, otherwise..." Xie Kai's brows were completely twisted.

"Yes. So, the H2 ship rented to Saudi Arabia will be from here to the South China Sea every time it sails..." Qi Zhiyuan said helplessly.

Originally, the entire navigation was very risky, and it also took on the burden of training Saudi naval officers and soldiers, and the risk was even rising sharply.

Even if there are supply ships accompanying you to sail every time, various dangers will often occur.

Saudi officers and soldiers do not have the strict discipline of the People's Liberation Army Navy. They know that they may not be able to do anything and cannot do it seriously.

Xie Kai now has a thorough understanding of why the navy has not set out from the country so far, crossing the small pond in the South China Sea and entering the Indian Ocean.

Not ready.

"The Navy is also in a difficult situation." Qi Zhiyuan's words made Xie Kai and the others understand why these things happened now.

The navy is in a difficult situation.

The reason is that the warships do not have enough tonnage, so they do not have the conditions to perform tasks in various unfamiliar waters.

The small pond in the South China Sea belongs to China. Although the tonnage of the warship is not large enough and its ability to resist wind and waves is not that strong, the navy is familiar with it.

When will there be any kind of storm, you can predict in advance.

But in unfamiliar seas, that won’t work.

"Does it be necessary to build a large warship?" Zheng Yucheng's face was a little serious.

He really doesn't want to invest in another project.

"The Argentine Navy can bear part of the funding, and we can also understand some advanced technologies of Western countries through cooperation with the Argentine Navy..." Qi Zhiyuan said.

Xie Kai didn't believe it at all.

Argentina's naval technical capabilities are really unmatched with China.

Even Brazil, which is now the most powerful naval force in South America, cannot compete with China.

It is not that China cannot design warships with larger tonnages, but that many supporting technical equipment have not kept up.

Whether it is Brazil or Argentina, their warship design capabilities are simply to integrate advanced technical equipment from Western countries. The raw materials are provided by European and American countries, from power systems to electronic systems, and then to weapons and equipment. Those countries buy ready-made products directly from Europe and the United States.

China obviously does not want to and cannot take such a path of technological development.

"The Navy is also very clear. If there is a chance, the tonnage of the 052 project on 701 will definitely increase. The main destroyer in the future has a displacement of 4,000 tons, which is too small, and even the South China Sea cannot meet the requirements." Qi Zhiyuan said gritted his teeth, "The energy of 701 is limited, and the Shanghai military funds cannot support it. He is responsible for the destroyer project and the frigate project with a larger displacement. This is no longer a problem that funds can solve..."

"Can we take over and solve the problem?" Xie Kai's face was full of disbelief.

For the entire Chinese naval equipment field, the current situation is not only short of money, but also lacks technology and people.

"Not it. The Navy hopes to have projects to integrate all domestic design and manufacturing capabilities, and we and 701 are responsible for the assembly; even the aircraft carrier project will be carried out together at that time!" Qi Zhiyuan told Xie Kai that it was not that he wanted the Hudong Shipyard to create such a project.

It is not that the leadership of Hudong Shipyard wants to achieve greater political achievements and contributions through such projects.

If the idea does not match the management philosophy of 404, then Qi Zhiyuan and the others will have been replaced long ago.

The first unit that takes over is to rectify the management, and everyone must keep their ideas consistent, otherwise there will be no easy task to do all kinds of work.

"Uncle Zheng, what do you think about this?" Xie Kai asked Zheng Yucheng.

Zheng Yucheng has been smoking and thinking all the time, not expressing his own opinions, nor knowing what he is thinking.

"This matter must be discussed at the management meeting of the entire base, and we cannot make a decision." Zheng Yucheng knocked out the cigarette butt in his hand. This was the first time Xie Kai saw that he had not made a decision on a decision.

The investment required for naval equipment is really too great.

No one can bear this.

"Are you scared by the Yun-10?" Xie Kai was really unable to adapt to Zheng Yucheng's changes.

Before, Zheng Yucheng had only two attitudes, either agree or refuse.

But now, he is obviously undecisive.

"Have the navy said that who is responsible for the 10,000 tons of large driving force?" Xie Kai asked Qi Zhiyuan.

In charge of Navy equipment business, Qi Zhiyuan.

Only Qi Zhiyuan knows the situation the most.

"I didn't say that they also hope to integrate all the technical forces across the country. It will be easier for us to come forward."
