Chapter 309 Two to Three Thousand Ton Frigate

After eight days of vacation in Beijing, Liu Tao embarked on the journey back to Panshan Machinery Factory under the reluctant eyes of his relatives.

Afterwards, after the weapons and equipment were inspected, they were sent out.

This time in Beijing, he signed an agreement with the State Shipbuilding Corporation, entrusting them to build ten Type 022 missile boats.

As for the relevant technical data of the Type 022 missile boat, Liu Tao also handed it over to the State Shipbuilding Corporation.

These materials are all classified as confidential documents.

Confidential documents like this are not available to everyone. They must pass the political review and must be trusted.

This is also to reduce the possibility of leaks.

Moreover, it is impossible for a person to access the entire design data, only which field can access which aspect.

Hudong Shipyard and Dalian Shipyard are responsible for construction, while Huaxia Southwest Ordnance Industry Group Corporation is responsible for providing core components, such as radars, engines, etc.

Because the units under the State Shipbuilding Corporation are unlikely to be able to handle these core equipment.

The reward for each Type 022 missile boat is 4 million yuan.

According to Liu Tao's estimate, the two shipyards can earn about 1.5 million yuan for each ship they manufacture.

As for the relevant formulas of aluminum alloys and composite materials, he also provides them.

Liu Tao began to focus on frigates.

He looked at the information of the Type 053 frigate, which is the first frigate developed by China itself, and the first ship has been officially put into service.

The Type 053 frigate has a standard displacement of 1,550 tons, a full load displacement of 1,865 tons, a speed of 25 knots, and is equipped with a single-barreled gun. It does not have anti-submarine torpedoes, and does not consider ship-borne helicopters.

It can be said that this is a frigate that lags behind the times.

Based on the design data, Liu Tao began to produce and manufacture ship models of the same scale.

After the last development of the Type 022 missile boat, Liu Tao knew that it was feasible to start with the ship model first. After the ship model was completed, it was enlarged in the same proportion. Although there were some problems, these problems were obviously much less, and it could also be upgraded and repaired.

This can greatly reduce R\u0026D investment.

Of course, unlike the Type 022 missile boat, this time when building a frigate, we must also consider air defense missiles, anti-submarine missiles and torpedoes, all of which are essential weapons for frigates.

Although the current anti-ship missiles are becoming more and more advanced, torpedoes are no longer the only weapon for attacking ships as before, but torpedoes are still active in the world because torpedoes have their advantages - cheap!

The cost of torpedoes is much cheaper than anti-ship missiles.

Although torpedoes are very old technologies and were born much earlier than anti-ship missiles, torpedoes are definitely not without technology. On the contrary, the technical content of torpedoes is very high.

The world's research on torpedoes is also constantly invested in research and development, and a series of torpedoes have been born.

Similarly, torpedo attacks are taken seriously, and how to defend against torpedo attacks has naturally become one of the important technical topics of the navies of various countries.

When Liu Tao was developing the frigate, time kept passing, and before he knew it, it was the end of the year, and the footsteps of the Spring Festival were clearly audible.

Liu Tao brought the guards to the cloud library, and then the guards worked together to move a large ship model into the reservoir, and the ship model floated on the water.

If someone looks carefully, they will find that this ship model is very beautiful, painted silver-white. The ship model has everything, including a missile vertical launch unit model, a naval gun model, and an anti-ship missile model.

This is a 1:200 model, 6.78 meters long, 0.685 meters wide, and weighs 13.75 tons. When Liu Tao adds diesel, water, etc., the weight is about 18.2 tons.

Liu Tao is testing it. Compared with the first ship model before, it is obvious that this ship model is much better now. It is much better in appearance and the size of the whole ship model is also larger.

As Liu Tao operates, the engine starts.

After testing for most of the day, Liu Tao stopped the test when it was almost dark.

Afterwards, the guards used a tractor to pull the ship model ashore, and then used a transporter to move the ship model up, and then used a crane to get the ship model onto the transporter.

They all knew that Liu Tao was developing a warship, which was confidential. Now that the test was over and it was dark, it was impossible to leave the ship model in the reservoir and move it away tomorrow.

The transporter drove away from the reservoir and returned to the production workshop. The guards transported the ship model to the production workshop.

Then, the guards left.

Liu Tao began to upgrade the "ship model".

Swish, swish, swish~~

A series of faint lights flickered.

The ship model seemed to have changed, but it seemed to have not changed.

"System, analysis!" Liu Tao muttered in his heart.

Suddenly, a series of design drawings were formed on the virtual panel.

Liu Tao used the system to enlarge the dimensions in the same proportion.

"It seems that the prototype ship will have to wait until after the Spring Festival." Liu Tao said secretly.

Now that the Spring Festival is approaching, he has no time to go to the shipyard to build a new frigate prototype ship.

We can only wait until after the Spring Festival to manufacture the frigate prototype.

When he got home, Liu Tao took out a brand new hard drive, which he had made, with a total of 512G!

If there was no hard drive, the storage space in the computer would have been full long ago.

After downloading and printing a lot of information, he would copy it to a special hard drive and then store it.

Each weapon has a hard drive.

Looking at the download speed, it is obvious that it will not be completed in a short time.

Liu Tao took out his notebook, took a pen, and began to write.

Originally, he planned to develop a frigate of more than 1,000 tons, but as he worked on it, the tonnage continued to increase.

Now it has become that according to this frigate model, after construction, it should be 135.6 meters long, 13.7 meters wide, 4.5 meters draft, standard displacement of 2,750 tons, full load displacement of 3,640 tons, and the power unit uses 2 super-strong gas turbines with a total power of 42,000 horsepower and a maximum speed of 30 knots.

As for the endurance, it should be able to reach 4,500 nautical miles at a speed of 20 knots.

As for whether there will be any specific changes, this will have to wait until the prototype ship is manufactured, tested, and problems are repaired and upgraded before it can be determined.

But I think the difference will not be too outrageous.

Liu Tao doesn't believe that the error will be so large.

Weapons and equipment include air defense weapon systems, anti-submarine weapon systems, and anti-ship weapon systems.

The air defense weapon system consists of air defense missiles, 76mm guns, 20mm 'CIWS' short-range weapon systems, and two 6-tube jamming rockets.

The air defense missile is a ship-borne air defense missile developed by Liu Tao, which he named 'Aegis-2'. It is a medium-range air defense missile. This is a ship-to-air missile with multi-target attack capabilities. It can effectively counter targets such as anti-ship missiles flying at sea. The maximum firing height of the air defense missile is 24,000 meters, the maximum range is 80 nautical miles, and the maximum speed is 3 Mach.

The entire 'Aegis-2' ship-to-air missile is a medium-range air defense missile, with a length of 4.47 meters, a diameter of 340 mm, a wingspan of 1.07 meters, a weight of 610 kg, and adopts inertial/radio command + active radar guidance.

This 'Aegis-2' ship-to-air missile is mainly used to deal with medium and high altitude aircraft, anti-ship missiles and cruise missiles.

Of course, he also developed an extended-range "Aegis-2" with a range of up to 100 nautical miles.
