Chapter 268 Measuring the Manufacturing Difficulty of Ships

After hearing Zhang Yi's words, Mr. Qin didn't speak, but started a soft discussion with another junior high-ranking student who was hired by Zhang Yi in the field of warship and ship design.

Although the school bully who is discussing with Mr. Qin is not as old as Mr. Qin in grade, and looks only in his forties, Zhang Yi knows that his real age is younger than his appearance. Much older, almost sixty years old, the name of this junior high-level ship design master is Jiang He.

The two of them discussed for nearly half an hour before ending the discussion. Only then did Mr. Qin say: "Mr. Zhang, we have no problem with the design of these two ships, and they can also meet the requirements you mentioned. , with the current technological strength of our Colorful Stone Group, although there are some shortcomings in some aspects.

For example, in terms of large ship engines, our Qicaishi Group does not have research in this area, but if we purchase these things from outside, then our Qicaishi Group has no problem in building these two military ships.

However, the construction time may be relatively long. This frigate has a displacement of less than [-] tons, so it may take three months to complete, and the survey ship has a displacement of [-] to [-] tons. Very complicated, so it will take at least a year to enter service. "

After listening to Mr. Qin's words, Zhang Yi thought about it for a while, then nodded his head and said yes.

Because manufacturing warships is not manufacturing other ships, three months to manufacture an advanced frigate is already an extremely short time, and this also includes the time to design the frigate.

Although the Dahua Empire already has many kinds of relatively advanced frigates, Zhang Yi does not plan to use the existing blueprints of the Dahua Empire to manufacture the frigate manufactured by the Qicaishi Group, but plans to redesign a frigate. payment.

Moreover, Zhang Yi is going to use the photonic chips and photonic components developed by the Qicaishi Group for the electronic components and chips on this frigate. , This frigate can maintain a normal working state even in harsh sea conditions or electromagnetic environments, and even under the attack of electromagnetic pulse weapons, it can also make the equipment and instruments on the frigate work normally.

As for the survey ship, it took a year to build, and he was not disappointed, because he knew that the difficulty of building a survey ship was definitely not comparable to building a frigate.

Not to mention anything else, the gap in tonnage alone is already very large. The tonnage of the frigate required by the Dahua Empire military is only below 3000 tons. However, the tonnage requirement of this measuring ship must be above 7000 tons. Under 8000 tons, a warship with such a tonnage will only take one or two months to design. If so, such a survey ship does not have a few years or even longer work, so there is no need to think about it.

Therefore, designing and manufacturing a measuring ship of seven to eight thousand tons in one year is already very remarkable, not to mention all the electronic equipment on this measuring ship, they are going to use photonic components and photonic chips to replace them, At the same time, all the above computers are also preparing to use photonic computers, so one year is definitely very fast.

"Okay, Mr. Qin! I understand. For the construction of this frigate, our Colorful Stone Group will fully cooperate. At the same time, the power system of these two warships, I plan to adopt the electric integrated propulsion system used by mainstream international advanced ships. , I hope you can also take it into consideration when designing. As for the large marine main thrust motor used on the battleship, I think that after a while, our Colorful Stone Group will be able to successfully develop it, so you don't have to worry. At the same time, The shipyard can directly place orders with the major military factories of the Dahua Empire for the various equipment to be purchased for this warship, and they will deliver them to us as quickly as possible," Zhang Yi said.

"Okay, Mr. Zhang! If you follow the requirements Mr. Zhang said before, the cost of this frigate alone will be as high as more than 20 billion. This does not include the various weapons on this frigate. If you add weapons In other words, the cost of this frigate is at least as high as 35 billion or more. Mr. Zhang, please be mentally prepared.

As for the price of the survey ship, it will be even higher. According to my preliminary estimate, the cost of the entire survey ship will be as high as 60 billion or even more. "After listening to Zhang Yi's words, Mr. Qin paused for a moment, and then he still spoke.

Although the current Qicaishi Group has strong financial strength, and the profitability of the Qicaishi Group is unmatched by other companies, but for the high cost of these two warships, he thinks it should be compared with Zhang Yi Tell him to prepare him mentally.

The cost of these two warships may be very high, and Zhang Yi has actually already prepared in his heart.

But after hearing Elder Qin's words, he was still taken aback. He never imagined that the cost of these two warships alone would be so high, especially for the cost of frigates.

You know, among the existing frigates of the Dahua Empire, the most expensive one is only about 20 billion, and this includes all kinds of weapons on the frigates, and their tonnage is also much larger than the battleship of their Colorful Stone Group up

As for the cost of the survey ship, he was already prepared for a hemorrhage in his heart, because the construction of the survey ship is very difficult. According to some people, the difficulty of manufacturing the survey ship is even more difficult than that of an aircraft carrier. If it wasn't for the Xueba employment system in his hands, he could hire Xueba with abilities comparable to the top technicians. He would never touch this kind of surveying ship with high-tech and high-tech.

After all, the main purpose of survey ships is to track, measure and control various types of launch vehicles, aerospace equipment, and missile satellites. Now there are only a few countries in the world that can manufacture survey ships. It is conceivable how difficult it is.

Because the ocean-going survey ship must concentrate the survey base covering several square kilometers or even larger on one survey ship, and it must be effectively configured so that it can play all the functions of the ground survey base. At the same time, the survey ship also To remain as if on rough seas.

As we all know, the survey ship is an important equipment for tracking and measuring, and controlling aerospace instruments. The various instruments used on it are naturally the top scientific and technological instruments in the aerospace industry, and various equipment used in aerospace science and technology have extremely high precision requirements. , so the cost is very high, and the environmental requirements for use are also extremely demanding.

Even if it is used on land, there are very high requirements for the surrounding environment, air, weather, humidity, traffic, etc., not to mention in the ocean environment with undulating waves, violent shocks, high salinity and high humidity, so naturally For the hull of the surveying ship, extremely high requirements are put forward, even extremely demanding requirements.

After all, once a survey ship goes out to sea, it will definitely last for several months or even longer. The goal of cosmic speed flight is only a few minutes or ten minutes. Such a short time is really a missed opportunity, and the difficulty can be imagined.

What's more, manufacturing a survey ship is also a very complicated system. In addition to all the structure, control, navigation, power and other systems that ordinary ocean-going ships must have, it must also have a monitoring system that ordinary ocean-going ships do not have.

Of course, the monitoring system is also composed of many subsystems, such as photoelectric system, wireless measurement tracking system, optical signal tracking system, telemetry system, remote control system, sonar system, signal transmission system and a series of subsystems. .

At the same time, there can be no mutual interference between all subsystems.

It is precisely because of this that some people say that the difficulty of building a survey ship is even more difficult than introducing an aircraft carrier. After all, there are indeed many countries in the world capable of building light aircraft carriers, but they can build ocean-going survey ships. countries, that's all.

Therefore, Zhang Yi was not very surprised that Mr. Qin proposed that the construction of such a surveying ship would cost 60 billion yuan. He even felt that the price was much lower than what he had expected.

Although the funds required to build these two warships are huge, it is still affordable for the Colorful Stone Group, so he said to Mr. Qin: "Okay! Mr. Qin! Please rest assured about the funds, our Colorful Stone The group is not short of money, I just want you to put quality first when building."

However, at this time, an executive of the shipyard stood up and asked Zhang Yi: "Mr. Zhang, I am still a little worried. Of course, this is not a worry about funds, but about the technical capabilities of our shipyard. Worry, after all, the difficulty of measuring a ship is very clear to those of us who have been engaged in the shipbuilding industry for a long time.

After all, there are so many shipyards in the entire Dahua Empire, but there are only a few in our Dahua Empire that can build such high-tech, sophisticated, and cutting-edge ships.

And our shipyard has never even manufactured a slightly larger warship before. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to boast so much all at once?Even if these technicians who have just arrived have experience in building super-large military ships, if the chain is lost, then the loss in it can be imagined.

So Mr. Zhang, should we be more cautious, first accept orders for small and medium-sized military ships, and wait until we have enough technology and experience to build similar ships? "

"No need, our Qicaishi Group is very confident in the construction of the surveying ship, not to mention what if it fails? Losing tens of billions is not a big deal for our Qicaishi Group, even if it is If you fail, the technology, experience, and lessons you get from it are also very valuable wealth." After listening to the executive's words, Zhang Yi replied.
