Chapter 533 Electronic reconnaissance ship? (asking for monthly votes)
Navy warships, even if China and the United States have a good relationship, the United States will not sell advanced warships to China.
And even if the United States is willing to sell, China can't afford it.
Because warships are notoriously expensive, the more advanced the warships, the more expensive they are.
The Perry-class frigates built by the United States are not as good as China's Type 054 frigates in performance. Now the cost is as high as 160 million US dollars. Even if the United States is willing to sell, it is probably at least 200 million US dollars or even 300 million US dollars to sell to China.
The cost of the first Type 054 frigate is 90 million RMB, and now other Type 054 frigates are also purchased at 90 million RMB.
300 million US dollars at the current bank exchange rate is 1.03584 billion RMB, which can build nearly 12 Type 054 frigates.
And if you build it yourself, not only will there be no secret door left, it will be completely your own warship, and it can also drive employment.
As for destroyers, like the Type 052 destroyer, the same type of destroyer in the United States, I am afraid the cost is more than 1.2 billion US dollars.
As for the Type 052 destroyers built by China itself, with the completion of the construction of the first ship and the establishment of the industrial system, the cost has dropped to 1 billion yuan.
1.2 billion US dollars is 4.14336 billion, which can build 4 Type 052 destroyers with some left.
And with the mass production of ships, the cost of Type 052 destroyers still has room to fall.
"Can your Yangcheng Shipyard build an electronic reconnaissance ship?" The old man looked expectant.
Liu Tao's heart moved.
It was not like this before.
With economic construction as the center, the country will invest a lot of energy and resources in economic construction to improve the living standards of the people.
Under this condition, the troops need to make sacrifices for the country, because military expenditures cannot be much.
Liu Tao also thought of this year's "Three Links" negotiations and the previous visit of the US delegation to China and the leaders to the United States. Judging from the news, many results have been achieved. It seems that there are some things that the outside world does not know about.
"You can try, it shouldn't be a big problem!" Liu Tao responded.
The main function of an electronic reconnaissance ship is to conduct reconnaissance and monitoring of electromagnetic and optoelectronic information, and provide intelligence support for the navy.
In short, it is a warship that collects information, a large mobile "radar", but its main work is to intercept the opponent's optoelectronic equipment information.
In addition to obtaining intelligence, electronic reconnaissance ships often need to measure and track missile trajectories during tactical ballistic missile tests, assist the test team, and complete the testing of various new missiles.
At present, the most advanced electronic reconnaissance ships in the world are mainly from the United States and the Soviet Union, followed by maritime powers such as Britain, France, and Japan.
The naval general next to him introduced China's development of electronic reconnaissance ships to Liu Tao.
In the 1950s and 1960s, China pursued a national defense policy, and the navy mainly operated in the near sea. At that time, there was no urgent need for reconnaissance ships, especially ocean-going reconnaissance ships.
Then in the 1970s, with the increase in the scope of the Chinese Navy, in order to improve the intelligence reconnaissance support system, so as to better ensure the navy's execution of medium and near-sea combat missions, under this circumstance, the Navy proposed a plan to build a new type of reconnaissance ship, and China began to develop ocean-going electronic reconnaissance ships.
The only electronic reconnaissance ship currently owned by China is the Type 813 electronic reconnaissance ship. The ship was built by the Hudong Shipyard in September 1980, started sea trials in September 1982, was delivered in November, and conducted professional equipment tests in March 1983, and served in the South China Sea Fleet.
Although the performance of the Type 813 electronic reconnaissance ship is OK, its reconnaissance equipment is relatively simple, equipped with only a radio signal reconnaissance system, and is not equipped with acoustic and optical systems. The attitude of the Navy towards this Type 813 electronic reconnaissance ship is better than nothing.
Liu Tao nodded slightly.
The reason why there are very few countries that are capable of building electronic reconnaissance ships is that they need to have high requirements for both electronic equipment research and development and ship construction.
The grand ceremony was held, representing the official service of the first Type 039 conventional submarine.
It also represents that the Chinese Navy submarine force has ushered in a new chapter.
As for the second and third Type 039 conventional submarines, construction has already begun after the first Type 039 conventional submarine was launched.
Nowadays, the continuous construction of naval vessels is ultimately due to the large amount of taxes paid by Panshan Group every year, which makes tax withholding possible, and there is still a lot of tax left.
In addition, the Chinese Navy is now facing huge pressure, which has forced the upper level to increase the construction of the navy.
After all, China's economic development is very fast now, but it is mainly concentrated in the southwest and coastal areas. The development of coastal areas requires the navy to provide a strong security shield.
Liu Tao stayed in Yangcheng Shipyard temporarily and began to develop electronic reconnaissance ships.
Unknowingly, the time has entered November.
In November, the capital has ushered in the first snow of winter, and the north has already ended autumn and entered winter.
However, the average daytime temperature in Yangcheng still reaches 25℃, and the temperature at night is also 15 or 16 degrees Celsius.
Near dusk, the sunset dyed the sky red, and the beauty of the red-burned clouds was absolutely amazing.
At this time, the staff operated the lifting equipment and lifted a ship model to the sea.
This ship model is the electronic reconnaissance ship model that Liu Tao has optimized and improved several times.
This time, another test after optimization and improvement is underway.
Even though this is a 1:25 scale ship model, its total length still reaches 3.34 meters, its width is 0.584 meters, and its displacement reaches 128 tons.
The crane lifted the ship model into the water, and it did not sink.
Liu Tao began to ride a speedboat and conduct a series of tests on the ship model through remote control equipment.
The whole test was chosen at this time because it would soon enter the night, and the test at night would not be easily discovered, which would help keep it confidential.
When the test was over, it was sunrise.
The sea water rushed against the embankment, white foam splashed, and a red sun slowly floated up in the sea, red, huge and round. In an instant, the darkness was dispelled and the whole earth was lit up.
The white clouds were dyed red by the rising sun, and the whole world came alive in an instant, which also indicated the beginning of a new day.
Liu Tao was in a good mood and jumped on the ship model.
"System, upgrade the electronic equipment!" Liu Tao muttered in his heart.
Swish swish swish~~
A faint light flashed.
Obviously, the upgrade has been completed.
"System, analysis!" Liu Tao muttered.
Immediately, Liu Tao saw that the virtual panel at the corner of his eye was forming a design drawing at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye.
Each of these design drawings was a very standard design drawing, very detailed.
There were even process instructions and design instructions, including all kinds of materials involved.
Liu Tao was in a very good mood and began to direct the staff to hoist up the ship model. This ship model was classified as top secret and would be sent to the Panshan Museum for collection.
After returning to his residence, he took a hot bath, dried his hair, and fell asleep quickly on the bed.
