Volume 1 045 Crushing crane turns waste into treasure

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After opening a new sub-base, Qi Yiming gained permission to build a facility, which is the crushing crane from Red Alert 3.  It's just that this version of the crushing crane is different from the original one. The new crushing crane is no longer mainly used to crush ordinary units, and then used as a small base to increase the production sequence, but becomes a crushing equipment.  Later, it was replaced by resources and turned into an equipment manufacturing factory integrating a tank factory, an air command department, and a shipyard.

    Originally, Qi Yiming had not thought about how to use this thing, but when he mentioned the old ships of the navy, his eyes lit up.

    Although the crushing crane can no longer add a construction production line, it is equivalent to a weapons production line. For the current PLA, it is equivalent to three naval docks with a monthly production capacity of 20,000 tons.  What Qi Yiming feels is even more important is that recycling old ships and turning them into new ships can not only reduce the investment of his own base resources, but also effectively improve the quality of the navy's combat power.

    "Those small naval ships with only one or two hundred tons will not play a big role in the future development of the navy, both in terms of level and function. However, maintaining and operating them requires a considerable amount of manpower and funds.  In the future, more and more large and medium-sized destroyers and frigates will squeeze out naval funds. Although these ships do not cost much, they are still an obstacle.

    After Qi Yiming asked the Navy to pull a series of ships with small tonnage and poor performance to his Huludao branch base, the Navy showed extremely strong execution ability and immediately ranked Qi Yiming among the first batch from the three major fleets.  The old ship sailed to Huludao. The sailors and officers were not allowed to ask any questions. They then put the ship down, boarded the passenger ship Qi Yiming prepared for them, and then headed to a nearby naval base to wait for the next order.

    The person responsible for supervising the implementation of this "replacement of old with new" task is a senior colonel of the Naval Staff named Zhang Jiushao.  He, a naval colonel, had a new salary of 24 cents. He had been preparing to restore the military rank system since 1980. Historically, the one-million-dollar disarmament was postponed to 1988. However, due to Qi Yiming's "obstruction", the military rank system was finally restored.  Some units that were determined not to undergo major disarmament, such as the navy, air force, and intelligence units, had their military ranks restored in advance.  I am afraid that the Army's recovery work will be carried out at the same time as the disarmament, and more planning will be needed.

    ??Zhang Jiushao has a pretty face. He used to be a submarine soldier, so his skin is very white.  He followed Qi Yiming and looked at the highly camouflaged Huludao base. The sub-base here was completely underground, and buildings such as power plants were also disguised as not much different from normal factories. The two shipbuilding  The factories are all huge sealed dry docks and gantry cranes, and there is no sense of science fiction at all at the Darinol base.

    He said to Qi Yiming: "We have acquired all four Type 01 frigates and five Type 065 frigates these days, plus the two Type 053K frigates. Most of the rest are the previous Type 125 frigates (Shanghai class) and early models.  037 escort boats, minesweepers such as 058 and 312, and torpedo boats such as 025. After weighing it, the navy decided that it was not in a hurry to let them retreat so soon, and it was mainly based on the idea of ????getting rid of the small boats and building larger ships."

    Qi Yiming smiled slightly when he heard this. In fact, for most countries with poor financial resources, when developing their navy, they will inevitably encounter the choice of large-scale or small-scale.  However, under normal circumstances, the big ship faction will generally overwhelm the small boat faction. Only when the financial resources are really poor, will they mainly use small ships such as guided missile speedboats to take the lead in the navy.

    Zhang Jiushao added: "When we originally built a series of small boats such as torpedo boats, escort boats, and minesweepers, the main reason was that we lacked the ability to build large ships with strong comprehensive combat capabilities, and we faced the KMT reactionaries' attacks on the coast in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.  Harassment is also a headache, so we can only give priority to the development of these small boats. On the one hand, our small-scale naval battles near the coast are unlikely to happen, and it is difficult for the Taiwanese military to reach our doorstep.  The hundreds of ships like this we built before were basically wasted. They can't go any further, and no one can fight against them when they're close, so now that we have this opportunity, it's best to replace them all.  On the one hand, after receiving the Type 056 light corvette provided by you, our navy discovered that this small warship can be used for anti-ship, limited air defense, expulsion of targets on the sea, anti-submarine and anti-mine, with a range of at least 1,000 nautical miles.  Within the radius, they can freely deploy and fight, and even if they are placed in the South China Sea, they can still form a combat force. Therefore, the Navy now has an idea to equip a large number of this type of light frigates with more than 1,000 tons to fully replace ours.  Those small ships under 500 tons.¡±

    Qi Yiming nodded and thought he was right.  The 056 is a light frigate that uses mature technology, modular design, multi-purpose, and high cost performance. It can be used as a capital ship in some small countries without any problem.  The firepower equipment is relatively complete, and the air defense has short-range defense.? Missile Hongqi-10 and close-in defense system, anti-ship has 4 YJ-83 missiles, anti-submarine can carry a helicopter, the rear hatch can hold an anti-submarine sonar, and it also carries 6 324mm torpedoes.  The 76mm fast gun can deal with non-traditional threats such as pirates, and can also provide limited near-shore fire support.

    Although the radar avionics system is not as powerful as the 052A and 054A, it is still small and well-equipped, and has better detection capabilities than frigates of the same or even larger tonnage in this era.  The level of electronics and automation is relatively high, and the entire ship can be operated by only 60 crew members.

    Compared with old warships with poor living environment and difficult conditions, although the 056 is small, the space utilization per person is much better. At the same time, the living facilities on the ship are relatively complete, so it is more suitable for long-distance voyages and sailors to maintain combat effectiveness.

    So although 056 cannot be the main combat ship of the PLA Navy, it is still placed in a very important position.

    "So this time you are replacing the old with the new, you plan to mainly replace the 056 light frigate?"

    Zhang Jiushao nodded and said with emotion: "In terms of pure combat effectiveness, several Type 051 destroyers may not be as good as these 056s. Therefore, Commander-in-Chief Liu considered that before the fleet receives the main destroyers and frigates, the 056s should be lightly protected.  We will dispatch the ships and strive to master them as soon as possible to form effective combat effectiveness. Therefore, just twenty or thirty 056s are estimated to be comparable to all our current naval ships. In addition, although some parts of the 056 are still very advanced for us.  Yes, but thanks to the modularity, the cost of maintenance and overhaul is not very high, not to mention that you can help us do some things here, so the priority of 056 is relatively high. "

    Qi Yiming deeply felt that the navy's layout was pragmatic. Although the destroyers were big and powerful, it was really not that easy to master them quickly. Otherwise, why would he equip one of the ships with a full complement of red alert sailors just to  To maintain combat effectiveness, another ship can be used as the main training platform.

    ??And 056 is not particularly complicated to get started with, and the electronic equipment is not that advanced. It may be that systems such as data links need more attention, but assigning some Red Alert sailors to it, there is no problem in playing with this ship.

    Twenty thousand obsolete or old ships, large and small, can eventually be transformed into the 20 Type 056 corvettes required by the navy after a month of recycling and rebuilding.  It seems that the Navy plans to allocate six ships to each of the three major fleets at once to ensure that combat effectiveness can be quickly formed.

    Because of the addition of this crushing crane, the Navy made certain modifications to the shipyard¡¯s indicators in the second construction month.

    The basic configuration of two zones and two guards is still retained. Most of the remaining 20,000 tons of quota are allocated to submarines, and then some auxiliary ships.

    Qi Yiming has provided the navy with a total of 100,000 tons of warships of various types for two consecutive months. Qi Yiming has no interest in participating in the intensive training activities carried out by the navy.  When he didn't travel back in time, he had nothing to do. He didn't take a plane when he returned to China from the United States. Instead, he boarded a bulk cargo ship and bumped around on the sea for more than half a month.  Since then, although Qi Yiming still loves the navy, he has developed a fear of long-distance sailing. When he participated in the trial of the Harbin ship before, he only walked around the coast to experience the navigation performance of the new ship. Over  Then return to shore immediately.

    He had stayed in Huludao for long enough, and apart from the navy affairs, he had other work to take care of, so he handed over the matter and took a special plane back to the capital.  However, Qi Yiming was intercepted by Liao Huairen as soon as he arrived in the capital.

    "Brother Yiming, hey, I finally bumped into you. Pies are falling from the sky again. Brother, I specifically asked you to come over and catch up." Liao Huairen said to Qi Yiming with a smile.

    Qi Yiming was confused and asked: "It's pie in the sky, where does this come from?"

    Liao Huairen gestured to the sky and asked, "What do you think?"

    ¡°I can¡¯t guess, just tell me directly.¡±

    Seeing that Qi Yiming was not cooperating and did not seem to be in a hurry, Liao Huairen could only admit defeat in frustration and said frankly: "Pakistan has taken a fancy to our Xiaolong fighters and offered us to buy them, because our Xiaolong fighters are all with you."  The Dalinol base was used as a prototype, but the Air Force did not have it, so Commander Wang Hai and Director Hong of the General Logistics Department called me over to ask for your opinion. "

    Qi Yiming couldn't help but hesitate after hearing this, and realized that this world is really full of inertia.  Xiaolong was originally developed for the needs of Pakistan, but after he came back, he took advantage of the Iranians.

    "Why did Pakistan think of buying Xiaolong?"

    Liao Huairen said very excitedly: "You, why are you so blocked in the news? Are you confused by the sea breeze in Huludao? We sent it to Iran"The fleet has been very popular internationally these days.  I think if this continues, not only Pakistan will want to buy from us, but other countries will also want it!  "
