Chapter 355: Small Aircraft Carrier Prototype
355
Tang Yue stood in the crowd and looked up, she saw the grandparents in Laboratory No. 5 staring at her eagerly. The expectant look on their faces really moved Tang Yue.
It seemed that if she didn't go there now, it would be unfair to them. Tang Yue shook her head. At this time, everyone was also created some space by Lu Zhanheng's waving of his hand.
Tang Yue's voice was soft but penetrating. "Everyone, please go back to your labs. I'll go check on you all. Wouldn't it delay research time if we kept waiting here?"
This sentence immediately brought everyone back to their senses. Indeed, instead of waiting here, they might as well go back to the office and study more. What if they can figure out some of the things they don't understand?
"Then Xiao Yueyue, you must come."
"Yes, Xiao Yueyue, don't forget Lab No. 3."
"Xiao Yueyue. No. 6, Lab No. 6 needs you."
"Number 1, Xiao Yueyue, the number 1 laboratory is anxious."
As they walked, they kept turning back to try to grab Tang Yue. Tang Yue thought these people were really cute. How could they believe that she was omnipotent?
Tang Yue looked at the people in Lab No. 5 and smiled, "Uncle Shao, Grandpa Liu, Grandpa Wang, you're all getting impatient, right? Let's go back to the office."
Everyone was so excited that Xu Di turned around and walked back first. "Yes, hurry up, Xiao Yueyue, let's go back quickly. We all miss you so much."
As they walked back, they all asked Tang Yue why she hadn't come for so long. They knew that Tang Yue had secretly gone to Japan, but they didn't know how long she had been gone.
Once back in the office, everyone shared their recent research findings with Tang Yue. Before leaving, Tang Yue had some ideas about the warship's design and offered many feasible suggestions, and everyone had been working towards that vision for the past few months.
But recently, Japan brought in its warships, and they found that many of their ideas that seemed impossible to realize at the time were now realized on this Japanese ship.
At the same time, one has to admit that Tang Yue’s ideas are unprecedented. There are actually many more advanced designs that even Japanese warships cannot match.
"Xiao Yueyue, look, this is the power system I've been researching recently. Based on the idea you proposed, I discussed and designed this power generation equipment with them.
Three gas turbine generator sets (GTGS) with a rated power of 2500kW and providing 450VAC, three-phase, 60Hz power.
The #1GTGS is located in the #1 auxiliary machinery room, the #2GTGS is located in the #2 main engine room, and the #3GTGS is located in the #3 generator room. They are separated from each other by watertight bulkheads to improve survivability.
At this point, Wang Guozhi scratched the back of his head. "However, these are just our ideas. It's too difficult to make them all. The materials are still too scarce."
Tang Yue felt very good about Wang Guozhi's proposal. If such a large power generation system was used, this guy would definitely be quite large. As for why Lab 5 and Lab 9 were both researching warships.
The scientists in Lab 5 were actually quite diverse; each had their own area of expertise, but none of them had a systematic approach. Before Tang Yue arrived, they had never combined their expertise to study physical objects.
It was after Shao Yan joined that Tang Yue felt they could use their abilities to focus on shipbuilding. This gave everyone a research goal.
However, Tang Yue went out on a mission and didn't come back for several months. After repeatedly raising their expectations, they encountered difficulties in putting their ideas into practice.
Liu Zhengqian sighed, "Yes, Yueyue, we've seen Lao Wang's concept and it's simply astonishing. This kind of technology, let alone China, probably no country in the world can produce it."
However, because of this, we have nothing to learn from and have no idea where to start with this generator."
Shao Yan was excited. "Xiao Yueyue, I've calculated that if we use a generator like this, the overall length of the ship can be controlled within 155 meters, the beam within 22 meters, the draft can reach 9.3 meters, and the full load displacement can be 8,450 tons.
If China could build something this big, it would be the prototype of a small mothership."
Shao Yan rubbed his hands excitedly, his eyes shining with excitement behind his glasses.
Zhao Wufeng continued, "If that's the case, then we can adopt a combined propulsion system. I'll name it COGAAG. It will have four LMM2500 gas turbines, each with a power of 105,000 horsepower, two shafts, a speed of 32 knots, and a range of 4,400 nautical miles at 20 knots."
Tang Yue admired these veteran scientists from the bottom of her heart. As long as they were given the space to dare to think, they could really advance China's technology by decades.
Tang Yue was truly more and more satisfied the more she looked at it. She hadn't yet decided on a detailed design, but now she was looking at it. In fact, if she combined her grandparents' ideas with her own, China's warships might become world-leading.
Although she has not been to the United States, she has fought with those people at sea. Although their warships are of high standard now, they are far from the level imagined by the grandfathers now.
Tang Yue was very satisfied. She looked at the ideas of several other people. It can be said that from materials to power, from firepower to air defense, from nuclear energy to nuclear weapons, Tang Yue was a little afraid to think about it if this warship was really built.
Liu Zhengqian was the first to raise the issue of China's current inability to achieve this. "But no matter how good our ideas are, they're useless. China's existing materials simply can't support such a behemoth."
Tang Yue smiled. Indeed, China did not have any, but she did. She had quite a few materials in her space, and many of them were rare, but she didn't know which one would be useful.
But, I don't know if I can test it.
Everyone looked at Tang Yue's shining eyes and felt that this girl seemed to have something else to say.
"Xiao Yueyue, do you have anything to say?"
Tang Yue cleared her throat. "As for materials, I think we can ask Commander Kang for help. If we vigorously develop the shipbuilding industry, China will surely be united in this."
Teacher Kang, who was processing documents, suddenly sneezed twice. He was a little confused. What happened? It wasn't a cold day, so why did he suddenly feel a little cold?
Liu Zhengqian still had no hope. "Yueyue, it's not that Commander Kang doesn't want to help us, he just has no other choice."
Tang Yue said with a firm expression, "Grandpa Liu, Commander Kang has it. If you don't believe me, why don't you apply for it again?"
They looked at each other, convinced that Master Kang couldn't lie to them, but Tang Yue's expression was resolute. Could something have happened recently that they weren't aware of?
Xu Di first looked at Tang Yue. This little girl was not one to act without purpose. "Okay, then let's rewrite the materials and reiterate the importance of this matter a few more times, and wait for Teacher Kang's reply."
Others thought it made sense, and there was no better way at the moment, so they might as well try Lao Xu's method first.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Tang Yue raised a question. "Haven't we contacted Lab 9?"
Several people looked puzzled and then shook their heads.
Liu Zhengqian asked, "Xiao Yueyue, just tell me what you want to say. As long as it's beneficial to China, we can consider it."
Tang Yue lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. When she looked up again, she said something shocking, "Laboratory No. 9 is also researching warships."
"What?"
"Um?"
"ah?"
After the doubts were resolved, everyone felt relieved. They had just done it on a whim, while others might be conducting research according to formal procedures. The two sides were not on the same system.
Seeing that the grandparents didn't react much, Tang Yue felt a little strange. "Aren't you curious about how far they've come?"
Xu Dixian smiled and said, "Little girl, their research should have taken China's actual situation into consideration. So if we go by the success rate, they should have been able to build a Chinese warship earlier."
It must be said that these old scientists do have vision. Tang Yue smiled, "Grandpa Xu, you are right, but are you willing to share your results with Laboratory No. 9?
When the warship is built, your names will be at the forefront."
