Warship of Great Power

"Do you know the SWATH ship type?" Pang Jianmin asked the two of them.

What? Qin Baoshan was at a loss, what kind of foreign language he was talking about, he really didn't know.

Qin Tao was on the sidelines, and was already muttering: "Small-waterplane-area twin hull, small water surface wave-piercing catamaran."

Qin Baoshan heaved a sigh of relief, little bastard, you are really good, it really is good to be educated!

Catamaran, what does that mean? Does it have two hulls?

"A typical high-speed catamaran consists of two slender monohulls, the upper part of which is connected by a deck bridge. A power plant is installed in the monohull to drive the rear propeller. The upper part of the deck bridge houses a superstructure with cabins, living facilities, etc. Its biggest advantage is that it divides a single hull into two pieces, which greatly reduces the wave-making resistance and can achieve a higher speed. At the same time, because the width of the hull is greatly increased, its stability is obviously better than that of a single hull, and It has the ability to withstand large waves..."

Qin Tao began to speak eloquently like reciting a textbook.

"That's right, it's a catamaran." Pang Jianmin said, "Right now, China is planning to develop this kind of SWATH ship. First, it plans to design it as a passenger ship, which can carry more than 100 passengers. If you have the technology..."

"Of course." Qin Tao nodded: "We can design a wave-piercing catamaran, and the design speed is expected to reach 40 knots. However, we need the customer to provide us with the cost in advance. We don't want to invest a lot of money. After the design came out, the bidding failed and a lot of money wasted.”

When Qin Tao said that the design speed reached 40 knots, Pang Jianmin and Zhang Zhen were overjoyed: "Of course there is no problem, and relevant units will come to you for consultation, but the speed of 40 knots is a rigid The target must not be shrunk, if the speed cannot be reached, then according to the contract, you may have to pay a sum of money."

"Of course, since we said it, we will definitely do it."

Qin Tao will not worry about anything. This kind of double-body passenger ship is his graduation thesis in his previous life. Everything is deeply imprinted in his mind. What is there to be afraid of? There is nothing difficult about the speed of the ship. The speed is not enough to make up for it. The experience gained from the customs anti-smuggling speedboat can also be used.

"Okay, then we have a deal."

Several hands were clasped together one by one. At this time, Qin Baoshan didn't have too much worry in his heart. Although he didn't know what a catamaran was, he had confidence in his son.

It was pitch black and four torpedoes were hoisted from the torpedo tubes in front of the submarine.

The torpedo inside the submarine is usually five or six meters long, seven or eight meters long. Therefore, when the submarine loads and unloads the torpedo, it is impossible to stuff it in from other hatches, and it cannot be moved to the torpedo compartment after entering it. Access is through torpedo tubes.

Seeing the four torpedoes hoisted out one by one, Qin Tao also heaved a long sigh of relief. Although he was strolling in the garden along the way, in fact, he still took risks, because the old Maozi's torpedoes used fuel It's hydrogen peroxide, and the Kursk, which has been in service for six years, was sunk by this thing.

These have been abandoned by the old man without serious maintenance. If hydrogen peroxide leaks during the sea voyage, reacts with rust to form oxygen, and then bangs, the submarine will sink.

Therefore, along the way, Qin Tao did not dare to let the submarine dive underwater. Although it is more concealed, the danger will also be greatly increased. He and Nie Shiyu have been staying on the command tower. In case of danger, it is okay Escape immediately.

Now, the wake-homing torpedo was finally taken away by the relevant navy department, and Qin Tao also let go of the big stone in his heart.

Qin Baoshan had the opportunity to ask his son after sending off the navy personnel, "Are you really sure about this kind of catamaran?"

"Well." Qin Tao said: "The market prospect of this kind of catamaran is very good, and it will become the main product of our shipyard in the future."

Originally, Qin Tao wanted to rely on dredgers to make Mingzhou Shipyard stronger, but his father showed his style and contributed the dredgers! Therefore, I can only think of other ways.

Now, since the navy has placed another order for catamarans, of course they have to rely on this product to gain a reputation and get a lot of money.

"Will the navy use it?" Qin Baoshan realized something.

"The navy will definitely use it. After all, there is still a market for our theory of air-submersible speed. However, it cannot be completely placed on the navy's side. As long as we build the first catamaran passenger ship, we will be able to undertake it in the future." More orders for catamaran luxury cruise ships."

Of course, Qin Tao knew that the navy would order a large number of 022 catamaran missile speedboats, but it was hard to say when to order them. After all, the navy has been short of money these years!

Air-submarine speed is a way of thinking for the development of the navy when the motherland was just established. Air power, submarines, and speedboats constitute the main force of the navy. Now, the navy still has to rely on a large number of speedboats. After all, it has no plans to build an ocean-going navy. , It's just offshore defense.

Qin Tao will not pin all his hopes on the navy. The market for catamarans is still good, especially those wealthy people will be interested in catamarans. There are so many people in China who are getting rich first, how can we do a feast of sea and sky without a luxury yacht? After making a name for themselves, those rich people from overseas might also come here admiringly.

Compared with monohulls, the biggest feature of catamarans is their large space! Underneath it are two slender hulls, submerged in water, so that the resistance is small, and the upper part is combined to form a large platform. If necessary, it is safe to play a hundred people.

Originally, Qin Tao was thinking about the future development of the shipyard. He must have his own competitive products. Since the navy has demand, what else can Qin Tao say? The catamaran is ready!

"Taozi, should we contact the Ship Design Institute?" Qin Baoshan asked Qin Tao.

"Why?"

"Ask them to design for us." Qin Baoshan said: "Fortunately, the Navy will give us a sum of money in advance, otherwise we have to pay a sum of money first."

"Old man, is that why you don't trust your son?" Qin Tao touched his nose.

"When did I stop believing you?"

"Then why do you hire a ship design institute? Your son can handle such a small project."

"What did you say?" Qin Baoshan opened his eyes wide: "You boy, can you handle it by yourself?"

"Look, you still don't believe me?"

"Smelly boy, you can't just talk about it, are you really good at it?" Qin Baoshan once went to the Ship Design Institute due to work, and he has seen hundreds of people draw drawings in the huge drawing room at the same time.

Qin Tao is alone, is he busy?

"Well, however, we need to purchase some equipment."

Qin Baoshan swallowed and spit: "Okay!"
