Bright Sword: Start with Ding Blast Bridge, Homemade Sweet Potato Cake

After signing the agreement, Luo Rui used his sympathetic tactics to reveal the actual situation of the Dragon Kingdom Navy.

It should be said that there was no navy at all, except for some people who rebelled and some temporarily transferred army members, who had no way of driving a destroyer.

Even if we were given four destroyers, no one would be able to fly them.

So, we should be given small ships first, as well as blueprints, technology, and expert personnel.

After the naval system is established, it will take about half a year before four destroyers are sent over for maritime training.

The Russian bear was very happy as he sold the junk for more than ten times the price. What's more, what Luo Rui said made sense, so he agreed to his request with a wave of his hand.

First, we provided technology and blueprints, and assigned more than one hundred technicians to Longguo for guidance, as well as dozens of naval instructors to help build the navy.

Small vessels such as minelayers, torpedo boats, submarines, and transport ships were transported to the east in batches.

Use small warships to train the navy first, and Ding Wei will take the lead in reorganizing the existing shipyards to gradually accept the "gifts" from the big brother.

Manchuria already had shipyard factories for inland vessels that could build shallow-water heavy gunboats with a full load displacement of 1000 tons.

This thing can operate near the coast and provide excellent artillery capabilities.

With the level of technical personnel at hand, it is no problem to build a frigate with a displacement of several hundred tons or even more than a thousand tons.

With the drawings and technical data of the Soviet Union's small and medium-sized ships, production can be organized quickly as long as the corresponding equipment is available.

The production of small and medium-sized ships is not a problem, and Manchuria is also researching missile destroyers, and the progress is relatively smooth.

In the second half of the year, we will try to transform the Sakura destroyers in Liao's hands and install anti-ship missiles on them.

According to the current research progress, our own missile destroyers are likely to be launched in the next two years, and we will no longer need the outdated ships of the Soviet Union.

Ding Wei will need half a year to find a plan to repair the Shancheng, and try to use the technology at hand and the shipyard to pull this light cruiser out to sea.

A 6000-ton light cruiser can definitely serve as a flagship and form a near-shore formation.

Moreover, this tonnage is a hurdle for the navy. Ships below 6000 tonnage are small and medium-sized ships, and ships above this tonnage are large warships.

When it comes to engine technology, there are not many capable of building a cruiser.

Cruisers also have higher requirements for the navy, which is a big step that can directly raise the starting point of the navy.

The group returned to Harbin from the Russian bear's territory, and the first batch of small ships had already been transported there.

Accompanying them were technical experts from the shipyard and key officers from the Soviet Navy system.

The skeleton officers followed Rory to the Naval Headquarters.

The shipyard experts followed Ding Wei and were introduced to the Manchuria Shipyard.

Even in Hong Kong, there were soldiers from the Russian army stationed there, and the largest shipyard here was also controlled by the enemy. When the Japanese evacuated, they took over the shipyard.

Other domestic shipbuilding factories are mostly located in the southern region, including Qingdao, Shanghai, Fujian, Guangdong, etc., and their shipbuilding technology and equipment are relatively backward.

It’s okay to produce iron boats and civilian transport ships, but it’s not very reliable to produce advanced warships.

The first step is resource integration, technological reform, and equipment innovation.

Some of them should continue to produce civilian ships, while the main focus should be on producing shipyards and passenger ships.

Some need to be included in the military category, focusing on the production of various types of warships while taking into account some civilian orders.

Ding Wei himself arranged for Wang Chao to lead the team and bring the best technical team at hand to Hulugang.

The first thing to be arranged was the salvage of the warship. When the officers and soldiers of the Yamashiro surrendered, the crazy guys sent out B24 bombers to bomb it. In order to protect the ship, they opened the bottom hatch and sank it. It is still soaked in sea water.

We need to pull it up and see how to repair it specifically.

The Yamashiro light cruiser has a standard displacement of 5200 tons and a full load displacement of 6600 tons. It is considered one of the stronger warships in the Western Pacific.

After all, all the Japanese warships were sunk, and the Soviet Union's Pacific Fleet only had destroyers, not a single cruiser.

As for the Eagle Sauce, they do not belong to the Western Pacific. At most, they are pulling their warships here to show off their power.

If you consider it as an eagle sauce, then the cruiser is really not pleasing to the eye.

As for the current condition of the ship, we really have to salvage it and see the situation first.

Wang Chao, who was also in charge of the Manchurian Inland Fleet, pulled over several heavy gunboats and then organized personnel to salvage the damaged boats.

After two years of sinking in the sea, the main guns and secondary guns were damaged, and the electrical equipment and instruments were soaked and rotted. The optical equipment and communication equipment were also unusable.

These are all minor matters. The most important thing is the damage to the steam turbine. A steam turbine that can support 6000 tons of displacement requires relatively advanced technology.

There are not many people who have mastered it, and those who can build cruiser-class ships by themselves can be counted on one hand.

If the problem with the steam turbine is not solved, the ship will not be able to run even if the main guns, secondary guns and other equipment are all replaced.

In order to run a cruiser with a displacement of several thousand tons, the performance of the steam turbine must be at least megawatts or tens of thousands of horsepower to provide power. This involves perfect fluid mechanics, complex turbine manufacturing and turbine structure design, and has very high requirements for materials and processes.

In terms of engines, Manchuria has done some research.

Missiles, airplanes, and tanks all involve power systems. The power systems used by jet fighters and the power systems used by missiles all have something in common.

There are turbine engines, gas engines, diesel engines, and so on.

It's nothing more than the difference between a steam turbine and an internal combustion engine, and the internal combustion engine contains gas turbines and diesel engines.

There is no big problem with the technology at hand.

However, no steam engines were ever produced for use on large warships.

The intake pressure of a large steam engine is hundreds of atmospheres, and if the materials and processes do not meet the standards, they simply cannot withstand the pressure.

Just exploring technology, without a complete production line and a production process with quality control, is it just a matter of rubbing it out by hand? Even if it is produced, would you dare to use it?

Put it directly on the cruiser without any actual verification?

It is better to develop gas turbines, which will be the mainstream of future ships. It has many advantages, such as fast startup, small size and light weight, which makes it easy to refit on the Shancheng.

The jet engine used by the Tianshu fighter has something in common with the gas turbine.

Ding Wei has the technology and the corresponding engine manufacturing plant, so it is definitely worth considering.

If this approach works, everyone will be happy.

If this path cannot be realized in a short period of time, there is a second path.

Ding Wei's second idea was to use some of the advanced jet engine technology at hand to ask Russia for personnel, as well as steam and gas turbine production lines, so as to quickly build large gas turbines that could supply warships.

The Tianshu fighter is better than the MiG fighter and the Sabre fighter.

Take your best things and exchange them with others.

This is a necessary step. If we can solve the problem of gas turbines and steam turbines by ourselves, we don't necessarily have to sell our own technology.

At worst, there are two more ways you can try.

Purchase steam turbines from the British Empire, or blow up the Tumen Railway Bridge to create another technological explosion.
