Chapter 542: Clairvoyance and Superior Hearing
Since tanks, armored vehicles, artillery shells, and missiles no longer need to go through Liu Tao's final quality inspection, he has a lot more time.
Now the only thing that needs to be sent to Panshan Group for final quality inspection is the 'Aegis-4' long-range air defense missile system.
However, the current production of the 'Aegis-4' air defense missile system is very limited. At most, one set of the 'Aegis-4' long-range air defense missile system can be manufactured in a month.
With more time, Liu Tao can better mentor his students and conduct scientific research.
For example, he also has to build small electronic reconnaissance ships and large electronic reconnaissance ships.
Liu Tao has always been concerned about this matter.
No, after finishing the matter, he immediately went to Yangcheng Shipyard.
The most convenient place to develop naval equipment is the Yangcheng Shipyard, which has all processing equipment and construction materials.
After Liu Tao arrived at the Yangcheng Shipyard, he was immersed in the development of small electronic reconnaissance ships and large electronic reconnaissance ships.
Small electronic reconnaissance ships must make trade-offs in performance and cannot be as comprehensive as medium-sized electronic reconnaissance ships. Because of limited space, they cannot cover everything.
The Type 816 electronic reconnaissance ship has the capability to locate aircraft carriers and other warships 700 kilometers away.
Small electronic reconnaissance ships are different. They only need to lock the warship within a hundred miles.
As for large electronic reconnaissance ships, because they carry more equipment and are more advanced, their positioning range is farther and more accurate.
Liu Tao has a rough estimate of the large-scale electronic reconnaissance ship he wants to develop. The full-load displacement is about 15,000 tons, the endurance is 15,000 nautical miles/15 knots, the maximum speed is 20 knots, and the detection range is 4,000~7,000 kilometers.
With the previous experience in developing the Type 816 electronic reconnaissance ship, Liu Tao's development of small electronic reconnaissance ships and large electronic reconnaissance ships this time seems to be much smoother.
The small electronic reconnaissance ship was named Type 817 electronic reconnaissance ship by Liu Tao. The electronic reconnaissance ship is 89 meters long, 11 meters wide, with a standard displacement of 1,000 tons and a full load displacement of 1,100 tons. It uses all-diesel combined 2-axis propulsion power and has a maximum speed of 20 knots. , endurance is 2000 nautical miles/15 knots.
The large electronic reconnaissance ship was named Type 818 electronic reconnaissance ship by Liu Tao. The ship is 206.6 meters long, 27.7 meters wide, has a standard displacement of 15,000 tons, a full load displacement of 18,000 tons, a self-sustainability of 80 days, a cruising speed of 20 knots, and an endurance of 13,000 nautical miles, 15 knots. The speed and endurance are 15,000 nautical miles. It can perform tasks under wave heights of 4 meters and survive in harsh environments with wave heights of 7.6 to 14 meters. It has the ability to carry helicopters and can take off and land helicopters in sea conditions of level 5 (wave height 4.6 meters). The ship has two floors inside. A dual-band phased array radar is installed on the deck. The weights of the upper and lower radar facilities are 298 tons and 270 tons respectively. The freeboard antenna area can accommodate 38 sets of communication antennas.
It can be said that the hull construction alone requires 200 million yuan. Other aspects of equipment cost at least 2 billion yuan.
The cost of such a large electronic reconnaissance ship is even higher than that of the Type 052 destroyer.
Such a large electronic reconnaissance ship has very powerful capabilities in detecting, tracking, and identifying targets such as ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, fighter jets, fighter jets, bombers, tankers, and early warning aircraft.
Moreover, it can conduct all-weather and uninterrupted reconnaissance of various targets within a range of 6,000 kilometers to control their deployment trends.
This also means that any movement of warships, missile launches, aircraft, etc. cannot be concealed from the reconnaissance of the Type 818 electronic reconnaissance ship.
Even if the United States wants to launch a certain missile, it can send this large electronic reconnaissance ship to conduct reconnaissance from a distance and observe its trajectory, operating parameters, etc.
In the same way, it can also be used for rocket launches, space shuttle launches and return, etc.
Of course, this does not mean that with large electronic reconnaissance ships, medium-sized electronic reconnaissance ships and small electronic reconnaissance ships are not needed, but they can be matched with each other.
The Soviet Union has more than 80 electronic reconnaissance ships of various types, and the United States is not far behind, no less than the Soviet Union.
Precisely because there are so many electronic reconnaissance ships, missile launch tests, rocket launches, etc. all over the world are difficult to hide from the eyes and ears of the United States and the Soviet Union.
Yun Province, Kunming City.
Panshan Group Headquarters.
Liu Tao is telling his students: "During the summer vacation, try not to talk about your studies, and you are not allowed to reveal what you see and hear here. Once the secrets are leaked, you will know the consequences. You are all aware of the confidentiality regulations." , once you find any abnormality, please call the police as soon as possible.”
Originally, security personnel should have been sent back with them, but Liu Tao changed it. Firstly, security personnel also have rights in the country. Secondly, with more and more staff in the future, it is impossible for everyone to leave here, so there must be security personnel. Follow.
That is, even ten or a hundred times more security staff will not be enough.
"Understood, teacher!"
"Teacher, please don't worry, we will keep it strictly confidential!"
Everyone said one after another.
Afterwards, Liu Tao once again gave some instructions before leaving the office.
Others can take winter vacation, but Liu Ziyu can't. She has to fly back to the capital with Liu Tao on New Year's Eve.
During this time, Liu Tao also had to participate in New Year activities and visit several major factories.
Fortunately, he already has a special plane that can take off at any time, so it doesn't matter.
This private jet belongs to Liu Tao, and it is also for his business trips, after all, he is now traveling all over the country.
In addition to his plane, Panshan Group has two business jets.
These three business jets are all for business trips, and Panshan Group purchased them specifically. However, for convenience, the three business jets are purchased in the name of three listed companies, not directly by Panshan Group.
After all, if this kind of thing happens in the mainland, it will have a bad impact if it is spread.
By the time Liu Tao finished his work, it was already New Year's Eve.
At noon, a business jet took off from Kunming Airport.
On the business jet, Liu Ziyu was curious, looking here and there.
This was the first time she saw a business jet, and the first time she sat on it.
In this era, it is very rare to be able to afford a car, let alone buy an airplane.
The planes on the mainland are all from various airlines.
These planes were purchased from Boeing by China at a cost of a lot of precious foreign exchange.
"Brother, how much is this plane?" Liu Ziyu couldn't help asking.
Liu Tao smiled and said, "10 million dollars!"
"My goodness, I can't afford to buy one even if I work all my life without eating or drinking, and save up all my salary!" Liu Ziyu exclaimed.
During her postgraduate study, she had about 300 yuan a month after various subsidies.
After graduation, if she works in the Panshan Group system, the salary will be much higher, but it will only be about 1,000 yuan a month, 12,000 yuan a year, and if she works hard for 50 years, it will be 600,000 yuan.
She has to work for 5,000 years without eating or drinking to afford such a plane.
"Brother, this plane is so expensive, it must be very profitable. Why don't you develop a plane? If you develop a plane, we don't have to spend so much precious foreign exchange to import planes from Americans." Liu Ziyu said.
In her opinion, Liu Tao can do everything, and if he develops a plane, he will definitely succeed.
Liu Tao's expression moved when he heard this.
