"Isn't such a lot of close-defense guns a bit too waste? These are more than 30!" This was the first time Mai Dongyue knew about the specific transformation project of a missile battleship.

When I first saw the huge model of this giant ship, I could only see the turret on the side of the ship, but I didn’t feel terrifying.

When I heard Ai Guoxiu's introduction, I was equipped with a total of 34 dual-equipped 76-type 37mm double-barrel guns, and the corners of my mouth twitched.

This design is a terrifying monster!

Especially when Ai Guoxiu controlled all the naval gun models to extend from the inside of the hull and pointed the barrel towards the sky, the model instantly turned into a hedgehog!

Unexpectedly, there was a ship-air missile installed on both sides of each turret!

"Of course, considering the anti-submarine and other aspects, this design function is maximized. We asked relevant units to study different 37mm shells for short-range anti-submarine and anti-ship."

According to such equipment calculations, there are 34 ammunition systems for air defense and missile attacks in the close range.

"The density of this weapon configuration is not too bad." Liu Yijiu nodded with satisfaction, "How long does it take for the 37mm naval gun to be expanded from the contraction state to the firing?"

Preparation time is the most important thing.

Otherwise, when the enemy's missiles attack and before these close-defense guns were deployed, the battleship would have problems.

This is the last defense of the entire battleship.

"Full expansion, using hydraulic mechanisms, according to the current data, it takes about 1 minute 38 seconds to 2 minutes 45 seconds. Only after the naval gun is installed can the specific data be known. The data for environmental simulation tests on the ground cannot be used all of this."

"Try to compress the preparation time to within one minute. If it really doesn't work, consider the lifting structure. When shrinking, directly move the entire lifting platform into it. During combat, as long as part of the lifting platform is moved out, you can open fire!" Liu Yijiu thought for a while and felt that this time had been long.

Many missiles have two or three Mach speeds.

Even if it takes one second to change the ending.

"We have compared the two solutions. Although the lifting platform is fast, it will occupy a larger space. At the same time, the technical requirements are also very high, especially the material structure strength. In order to solve this situation, when performing the task, we will have one-third of the naval guns in full form, so that we can have more full reaction time when encountering an attack!" Ai Guoxiu's words made Liu Yijiu not persist.

Both solutions were provided by him at the beginning.

Originally, he wanted to arrange a 37mm close-defense gun every ten meters, but in that case, the missiles could not be installed on both sides. Close-range ship-to-air missiles such as the Hongqi 61 or the Haihongqi 7 could only be installed on the deck and occupied deck space.

Otherwise, the close-range anti-aircraft turrets would reach an astonishing 52.

"In the middle area of ​​the deck, at the widest point in the front and rear areas of the bridge, two 66 Dongfeng 31 strategic missiles are arranged. This is mainly used for strategic strikes and further outwards. It is a vertically launched medium and long-range anti-ship missile and air defense missile launch area. At the same time, the area on the deck is reserved in the middle space to equip more anti-ship and air defense missiles at the back."

This was basically designed according to Liu Yijiu's requirements, and Liu Yijiu didn't say much.

The model is very clear. Under this design, the entire battleship is full of missiles of various uses and ranges.

"The 336 rocket launch system will be installed in the gap between the two sides, which is used for medium and long-distance anti-ship."

"Didn't this say that this is not on the ship?" Liu Yijiu was a little confused. He also wanted to get the rocket launcher to be on the ship at the beginning, which would be cheaper. "Who proposed it?"

Ai Guoxiu listened to Liu Yijiu's tone, was a little worried, and did not dare to look in his eyes. He lowered his head and said, "Comrade Wu Tianhai asked. When designing, we evaluated the battleship when this battleship was deployed with all weapons. Considering that such a large warship may be used to fight against the entire fleet of enemies, the air defense firepower is the richest and dense, but there are not many medium and long-range anti-ship methods, so he finally chose to increase long-range rocket launchers to board the ship. This will form a dense firepower coverage for the enemy fleet."

Liu Yijiu did have this idea before, and then they said that this would make the entire deck crowded. It would affect the center of gravity of the entire warship. Liu Yijiu agreed to give up the idea of ​​letting the rocket launcher come up.

There is no report now, and a lot of rocket artillery appeared in their plan

At present, there are no aircraft carrier killers like Dongfeng 26, and there are not even anti-ship missiles with a range of hundreds of kilometers.

Only anti-ship missiles with ranges not too far, such as 801 and 802, carry the flag.

The range of the 336 rocket launcher is much farther than that of 801 and 802, and the cost is even lower. If you replace the armor-piercing warhead, it can cause greater damage to the enemy fleet.

"This is good. We do lack too many methods for medium and long-distance anti-ship." Liu Yijiu nodded. "Originally, when I was considering that we didn't have many methods to fight against the ship, we considered that the rocket launcher had low cost. Although the accuracy was not good, it could achieve large-scale saturation strikes."

Liu Yijiu did not show any dissatisfaction with them installing the 336 rocket launcher after opposing them.

For him, the stronger the combat capability of this battleship, the better.

"There will not be more anti-submarine means in the transformation of this battleship, right?" Mai Dongyue is already unable to complain about these huge numbers and various attack and defense methods.

He was a little curious about whether there were more anti-submarine means here.

Domestic warships are really powerless in anti-submarine design.

Deep water bombs and anti-submarine rockets with a short range are often used to solve the problem. The 055 design is equipped with anti-submarine helicopters, anti-submarine rockets, etc.

"Of course we have anti-submarine means. Since it is to deal with a complete fleet, submarines with important combat capabilities of the fleet are also within our consideration. Because there is enough space, we have opened six torpedo launchers on both sides of the front position of the bottom of the warship, but we do not have too advanced torpedoes in our country at present. Of course, the torpedoes here are not only used for anti-submarine, but also for anti-ships."

Ai Guoxiu bent down and opened a row of circular hatch doors near the bottom of the warship waterline!

What else can it do besides being used to launch torpedoes?

"At the same time, there are two helicopters on the front and rear decks of warships, and helicopter equipment can be selected according to the mission. At least two anti-submarine helicopters must be guaranteed to be on top, which will pose a greater threat to our warships from underwater."

"If a warship with such a large tonnage opens a torpedo launch channel, if there is a problem," Liu Yijiu had never thought about installing a torpedo launch channel on it, especially torpedoes used for underwater launch.

If there is a problem with the torpedo launch channel, the entire warship will have problems.

Ai Guoxiu opened the shell on it and pointed to the torpedo storage area inside and said to Liu Yijiu, "It is because of safety issues, so we reinforced the walls of the torpedo compartment. The soldiers operating the torpedo compartment operated outside the torpedo compartment. The reinforcement problem also solved the problem of center of gravity that had always troubled us."

Liu Yijiu really didn't expect that the opening of a separate torpedo compartment and reinforced the surrounding bulkheads would solve the problem of center of gravity.

"Since torpedoes need to be preserved in a low-temperature environment, they are usually closed. Various electronic equipment and camera monitoring are used to monitor them. Only routine combat readiness inspections will open the entry channel. There is no need to worry about problems with personnel working in a low-temperature environment for a long time. As long as the torpedo does not explode, even if there is a problem with the torpedo launch tubes on both sides, the sea water will not affect the battleship!"

Liu Yijiu looked at the structural design of the middle cabin and it was indeed the case.

Because warships emphasize survivability, almost every cabin is required to have a sealing function, so that they are penetrated at certain locations and will not be silent after entering the water. They can continue to fight after being repaired after being opened in the dock.

This is the same as a submarine.

"This design is very good. However, the layout here is like this for the time being, and some space is reserved. Maybe we have a larger advanced torpedo in the future." Liu Yijiu nodded, very satisfied with the entire design plan.

His words made Mai Dongyue, who had always been out of shock, come to his senses instantly.

A few days ago, Liu Yijiu talked with Xiao Dong about a technical team that gradually led to a specialization of supercavitation technology, which was originally used for torpedo manufacturing.

If a new torpedo with a speed of more than 200 knots or even higher is used here

He was too strong in combat, so he didn't even dare to think about it.

These remodeled designers and Liu Yijiu are really crazy.

He felt a little crazy about the 055 ship they were responsible for. He always believed that transforming the American battleship was just to find a way to get alternative weapons to the main gun position removed by the Americans and then install some missiles.

As a result, I only now realize that his imagination is really poor.

Finally, the transformation is completed. Not to mention challenging a fleet, even if it is challenging an aircraft carrier fleet, such a maritime armament library will not have much problem challenging two aircraft carrier fleets.

Of course, this only refers to the number of weapons and the weapon system.

However, he thought that this was all the weapons and equipment, but he realized that it was not the case at all.

"In the missile launch area above the front and rear decks, we are also preparing to place guide rails and arrange more weapons. Even during combat, the manhole covers of these missile launches will not be all opened."

To be continued.
