1333 What we want is not just an aircraft carrier, but a Black Sea shipyard
"More technicians? I don't know what specific aspects it is. If it is an expert level, it is impossible. If it is an ordinary technical force, it is not a problem." Liu Suxue said with a frown.
The other party agreed to the price of $3 billion, which was originally a very pleasant decision, but now there are additional conditions.
You Chengfeng immediately said, "The hundreds of technicians you mentioned before are related to the aviation industry, and we are indeed very lacking in this regard. However, our lack of talent in naval equipment is even more serious. Ukraine has the obvious advantage of a large Soviet warship manufacturing base. Their aircraft carriers are all made in the Black Sea shipyard in Ukraine, as well as some large cruisers, etc...."
"Designers in naval equipment? Among these hundreds of technicians, including some large naval surface ships, are not too many, but they are all relatively core and key technical personnel..." Liu Suxue immediately relaxed his eyebrows.
It is natural that we must not miss the most lacking technicians in Ukraine.
Liu Yijiu's previous layout was for Ukrainian technicians and technical equipment, and key technical data were also indispensable.
The Black Sea Shipyard can be said to be completely inseparable from the development of China's aircraft carriers.
In the world where Liu Yijiu was once in, China's aircraft carrier was purchased from Ukraine with all weapons, equipment and systems removed from the USS Varyag aircraft carrier at the price of scrap, and obtained dozens of tons of aircraft carrier design drawings, thus starting the process of developing China's aircraft carriers. In the end, the USS Varyag became a Liaoning ship. At the same time, China's self-made aircraft carrier basically uses some related technologies on the USS Varyag.
Aircraft carriers, this is the top priority!
"It's not enough to have too few people. We need more large ship designers, including power design, etc...."
"Ukraine's Black Sea Shipyard and other shipyards are one of the few large surface ship production units in the Soviet Union, and the largest, and they are closely watching the personnel. At the same time, because this shipyard is not in Russia, the entire shipyard is not responsible for overall design and manufacturing. The core components are designed and manufactured here, but the spare parts and technical data are indeed scattered among hundreds of machinery manufacturing units in the other 15 franchise republics of the Soviet Union!" Liu Suxue explained patiently.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to get more people, but that he wants to get a full set. It’s really hard.
Investment and gain will not be satisfactory.
It is already very difficult for him to have just Ukraine. It has only been more than ten years of layout that has come to this day.
"Where are power systems? These are Ukraine. We can do without the technology and personnel related to aircraft carriers, but we cannot lack technicians for large-scale marine power design and manufacturing. This requires at least hundreds of people..." Li Xiangyang also said. "These technicians should be regarded as the top priority of this transaction!"
He did not say that the country urgently needed large marine power systems. The domestic 052 destroyer and the 055 large drive responsible by the Ninth Academy also lacked conventional power systems.
No one can deny this.
The power system above is already old.
The power system on large surface ships of the Soviet Union is still a little worse than that of Western countries led by the United States, but not too much.
The Soviet Union's main development direction was nuclear submarines, and large surface ships had never paid attention to it, but because they had a technical foundation far exceeding China and were able to manufacture large destroyers and tens of thousands of tons of cruisers. With such a foundation, it would no longer be a problem when designing larger aircraft carriers.
It took only less than 7 years for the Soviet aircraft carrier to be designed to be launched!
The Kirov missile cruiser has become the pinnacle of cruisers in this world.
"I really think this is a cabbage on the market?" Liu Suxue frowned and looked at Li Xiangyang, then looked at Long Yaohua.
Long Yaohua was thinking about whether to convince Liu Suxue and Li Xiangyang's words were really annoying.
Now seeing Liu Suxue's eyes coming, he could only explain helplessly, "You should know a little about the situation in our country. Even the whole world knows that the industrial foundation is weak and the technical foundation is not deep. No matter which aspect, it is not very good. Everything starts from scratch... There is nothing to do with the equipment of the three navy, army, air and military forces. Since Mr. Liu can help change this situation in China at present..."
"Mr. Long, this is a bit self-deprecating. Your country's Longwei tanks are also in the first-class range in the world. They are not worse than any tank in terms of attack power or defense... In terms of the air force, the J-10 and J-11, these two types of fighter jets are also advanced fighter jets in the world... Being able to manufacture such tanks and fighter jets is not something that can be achieved by weak industrial foundation and poor technical foundation." Obviously, Long Yaohua is hiding his weakness. "More importantly, there are large passenger aircraft such as the Y-10 and the world's top strategic missiles such as the Dongfeng-5. These things cannot be handled by countries with too poor industrial industries!"
Liu Suxue knew that Long Yaohua knew his situation.
This is obviously just to say it to the two people next to you.
He immediately said with a smile.
China's achievements in the field of military technology over the years are eye-catching.
The aviation industry is an important reflection of a country's industrial level and comprehensive national strength.
China can say that in the past ten years, the aviation industry has developed to a certain level, and the worst is a breakthrough.
In terms of naval ships, it is a fact that China cannot manufacture large warships above 10,000 tons. This is an indisputable fact.
"But we do not have any advanced naval surface ships. At present, the main naval ships are brigade-class destroyers..." Long Yaohua was not afraid of revealing his family's shame, and said very lonely, "So, we need technicians in this area."
"We can only do our best to do our best to this matter!" Faced with such a situation, Liu Suxue could only answer to do our best. "If there is a way, we will provide more naval large ship designers and manufacturing-related technicians, and will arrange them to enter China through various channels."
"Then thank you first." Long Yaohua was very satisfied with Liu Suxue's answer.
The two of them could easily agree on this, which made Li Xiangyang and You Chengfeng a little confused.
The two sides had a lot of detailed discussions, and even Li Xiangyang and You Chengfeng said that China will try its best to arrange more aerial refueling aircraft to cooperate with subsequent actions.
Many details have become more secure under the joint discussion between both sides.
No one discussed the route of flying back, because China could not intervene. Even if we got a strategic bomber like the Tu-160 White Swan, it would not be announced to the whole world. If the Chinese Air Force had secret equipment, no news would be announced to the public.
Unless China itself can copy it.
Even if it is forced to be announced to the public, this will be said to be a successful imitation of China, not anything else!
Only in this way can China bear less international pressure and make China's national defense cause more stable.
After coming down, Liu Suxue met Liu Yijiu again before leaving, "What are the main aspects of ships? At present, China's national strength and technical level are a bit unrealistic to build an aircraft carrier. An aircraft carrier is too expensive, and the maintenance and other costs are also very amazing. I don't believe that the country will restart the aircraft carrier plan at this time."
Liu Suxue did not ask Long Yaohua and others about these situations.
Only by communicating with Liu Yijiu can you be without any pressure and no need to go around the corner.
Liu Yijiu sighed, "In terms of warship design, the Navy has been accelerating the design and manufacturing progress of the Type 052 missile destroyer since the early 1980s, but it faces too many technical problems. The technology introduced abroad has been severely hindered. Long-range radar, electronic system, power system and other problems need to be solved one by one. The biggest problem facing now is the power system. Similarly, this power system has a very big impact on us. We have a nuclear power system in our hands. The currently modified Iowa class uses the nuclear power system in our mountain. Like the power system used by nuclear submarines, the power is higher, but the conventional power is not good, which seriously limits the development of the 055 project."
"So, our demand for these technologies in the Navy even exceeds the demand for these technologies in the Air Force?" Liu Suxue really doesn't understand these situations in China.
He has always been focusing only on the technological development of the Ninth Academy.
But I never thought that China is really not too optimistic in this regard.
"Yes. This is a problem with a poor foundation. It is also because of this reason, so we have to invest in the research and development of naval equipment at this time. The financial pressure of the Ninth Academy is basically because of the investment in the naval aspect. 10,000 tons of large-scale driving force, which is absolutely indispensable. The aircraft carrier aspect can be ignored for the time being, but we also need to make good technical reserves. When the country's economic strength develops, it is certain to develop aircraft carriers!" Liu Yijiu nodded, "If possible, I really hope to empty all the technical teams of the Black Sea Shipyard. We can solve the large-scale equipment used for shipbuilding by ourselves, but the technical strength in design and the design experience of those technicians cannot be solved in a short time."
Liu Yijiu licked her lips and said eagerly.
