Before you know it, summer has passed, autumn is about to pass, the leaves have fallen, and the weather has begun to get cold.

In Qin Tao's memory, this should be his busiest year.

However, when he saw the outline of the huge warship from a distance, Qin Tao couldn't help but feel complacent in his heart. You see, the Kiev, we have got the Kiev back!

Although all kinds of weapons have been dismantled, they were mainly dismantled internally. Various electronic equipment and other things, as well as the missile launch tubes outside, are still retained. This is the empty shell of the Kiev.

, is showing its domineering power at this time.

Many people were standing on the pier and watching, waiting for the arrival of the warship. At this time, in the office building of the shipyard, Wu Shengli held a telescope and looked at it for a long time. He couldn't help but sigh: "So

What a warship, what a pity!”

In order to avoid being exaggerated by the outside world and adding fuel to the flames, the naval personnel did not appear on the dock immediately. They would not board the warship until the dead of night. Now, they can only hide from a distance and watch the huge ship in the distance.

warships, and then imagine the future.

"What a pity? When you get up there and see the situation inside, you won't feel it's a pity. Lao Mao, what do you think at this time?"

Mao was watching in the office, not only the navy personnel, but also the technical personnel of the 2002 project. As the person in charge, Babbage also came to the Mingzhou Shipyard.

This is his first time here.

"I did not choose the wrong employer." Babbage said with emotion: "The warships and civilian ships under construction here give me confidence and strength. I believe that my ideal will definitely be realized here!"

He looked at the 400,000-ton shipyard and the old workers on the two bulk carriers that were gradually taking shape inside. His heart was filled with wonder.

In the future, there will be more old men like him who will come to the East to realize their dreams!

"Yes, I firmly believe this too." Qin Tao said: "By the way, Lao Mao, do you have any familiar aircraft carrier steel engineers over there? Introduce a few to me, and I'll go over there and get them."

Please come here."

Babic nodded: "Of course, I'm very familiar with them. I suggest you go find Professor Artoli Abalikhin. I don't know how that guy is doing now..."

Amid the discussion, the huge warship finally docked slowly at the dock. After it came to a stop, someone immediately stepped onto the warship impatiently.

Although they were all here for the first time, they were quite familiar with the warship. After getting on board, they each rushed to their workstations.

A man walked into the bridge and pressed the switch there. As a result, the steel plate on the left side of the bridge began to fall at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing a large hole in the deck.

"Great, this elevator can still be used! Quick, push the cutting machine over, let's go to the second deck of the hangar to cut the opening!"

"good!"

Small cars were pushed up one after another, and all kinds of noises came from the Kiev that afternoon. The modification work just kicked off.

The night is slowly getting darker, but the lights are still brightly lit inside the Mingzhou Shipyard, and sparks of electric arcs can still be seen at various workstations. However, the dock where the Kiev aircraft carrier is moored appears empty.

A group of people boarded this huge warship.

"Guo Gong, you started too quickly." Qin Tao said to a person coming towards him.

When we were working on the renovation and design of this aircraft carrier park, the personnel of the 8*91 Project joined in and merged together. Now, the Kiev has arrived, and all of them have come out of the design office and changed into

Wearing work clothes from Mingzhou Shipyard, we greet you at the dock.

They want to see this aircraft carrier with their own eyes and personally direct its transformation. This is called integrating theory with practice.

However, these people are really too impatient, right? The aircraft carrier only arrived during the day, and Qin Tao and others came to inspect it at night. There was already an extra boiler on the deck of the aircraft carrier!

During the design stage, it was required to disassemble the boiler, so the experienced Babbage proposed the most perfect plan: just cut open the deck under the hangar. The area of ​​the hangar lift is just enough to accommodate a boiler!

As long as the deck of the aircraft carrier is not cut, it will be much more convenient. Although the large hole on the deck of the Siamese aircraft carrier has been sealed, thinking about the scene when it was launched into the water makes people sigh. The replacement of the power system is

How difficult.

After hearing Qin Tao's words, Guo Ming smiled: "Mr. Qin, you have to speak with your conscience. At the beginning, you urged us in every possible way to dismantle the boiler inside as soon as we got it. This is very important."

It’s important. Now you’ve forgotten it again and dislike us for working too fast?”

There was a smell of paint. In the night, Wang Yanwei picked up a spray paint can and started spraying paint on the boiler!

Once the black paint is applied, the entire boiler immediately looks brand new.

"The pipes at these interfaces should be replaced with new ones. Otherwise, it would be bad for the scale inside the pipes to be seen." Qin Tao also gave instructions.

"Of course, but before that, add a special reagent for removing scale inside to remove most of the scale inside, and then clean it clean." Wang Yanwei put down the spray paint can and said to Qin Tao.

Qin Tao nodded.

"Hey, this scale is a bit strange!" Wu Shengli leaned over and took out a piece of scale from the mouth of the pipe. The color was dark yellow, which was very different from the white scale.

Boiler scale is a common phenomenon. Many boilers will suffer from this condition after being used for several years. As for the consequences, it ranges from a decrease in efficiency to a boiler explosion. Therefore, boilers also need maintenance.

Navy ship boilers need to be paid more attention to. Generally speaking, special softened water is added to minimize the formation of boiler scale.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Babic took a look and said with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "This damn sailor must have added seawater to the inside of the boiler!"

What?

Burning a boiler with seawater? This kind of frivolous operation is really stupid! Qin Tao couldn't help but sigh.

Boilers consume a lot of fresh water, especially the steam catapults of U.S. aircraft carriers, which consume one or two tons of fresh water for each ejection. Fresh water is also used by aircraft carriers for flushing decks and the like.

Therefore, their aircraft carriers have specialized seawater desalination devices that can produce 1,500 tons of fresh water every day.

However, Lao Maozi's aircraft carrier does not have it! Their fresh water must be filled up at the port or by a supply ship at sea. If it is not convenient, they often add some sea water to burn the boiler. You cannot add the fresh water you drink.

go in?

While talking, the second boiler was also brought up by the elevator.

"After the boiler and steam turbine are delivered, the power cabin can be re-arranged." Qin Tao continued to give instructions.

Decoration?

Well, President Qin’s request must be fulfilled.

"Where are the carrier-based aircraft?" Wu Shengli asked.

"It's in the hangar below. Let's go down and have a look."

The group of people walked to the bridge. After passing the bridge, they could go down to the hangar. However, after walking a few steps, Wu Shengli couldn't help but ask: "Why is the deck of this warship not flat? Is it so uncomfortable down there?"

Even if it doesn’t need to take off and land by rolling, it wouldn’t be equipped with so many rivets, right? Is this for anti-skid purposes?”

As he said that, Wu Shengli looked at his feet. The aircraft carrier deck, which should have been smooth, had countless hemispherical rivet caps, and each one was shiny.

"When it first entered service, the deck of the Kiev was as flat as the deck of an American aircraft carrier. However, after operating the Yak-38 fighter jet, they found that the problem of the lift engine tail flame ablating the deck was too serious, so they carried out

Improve."

Qin Tao introduced while looking at the bulge below: "They laid a thick layer of heat-insulating steel plates above the deck, but they couldn't be welded and fixed, so they used these rivets. Don't underestimate it.

These rivets are all made of titanium alloy."

The Kiev was abandoned for several years and then traveled across the ocean. When it got here, the hull began to rust, but the rivets on the deck were still shiny. Why? They are made of titanium alloy.

"Yes, even if this layer of steel plates is laid, the ablation problem is still not solved, so the Yak-38 was not deployed on these warships in the later period." Babbage added on the side.

"That's because your brains are not flexible enough." Qin Tao had already reached the door of the bridge and looked back at Babbage: "What kind of insulating steel plate should I use? Find a few masons and lay a layer of refractory bricks, and we will definitely solve the problem!"

Everyone was speechless. The deck should be paved with refractory bricks? Only Qin Tao can think of it, right? The heat resistance is enough, but what about the strength?

This night was quite busy. After seeing the entire warship inside and out, it was almost dawn. When we got home, Qin Tao went to bed and fell asleep.

In his sleep, there seemed to be someone knocking on the door, but Qin Tao was too tired to keep his eyelids open. He didn't get up from the bed until his stomach growled. When he opened the door, he planned to go out to find something to eat.

Tao was stunned.

There are several people standing at the door of the house!

This scene seems familiar, but the people have changed.

"Mr. Qin, are you awake? We were afraid that you would go back to work after you got up, so we waited here." Pu Douxuan nodded and bowed. Behind him, Li Jinshan was also smiling.

"Everyone, welcome to Mingzhou. Since you are here, why don't you wake me up? Or wait in the room?"

We've called you, but you won't open the door!

"Come on, come in and sit down." Although Qin Tao was hungry, he couldn't leave the guests outside. Fortunately, these guests brought gifts, including food. Qin Tao was not polite and opened the gift box.

Just eat it.

While eating, praising the delicious taste of these things and filling his stomach, Qin Tao asked the guests: "You came all the way here, what do you need help with? By the way, the boiler you ordered is coming soon.

.”

"Mr. Qin, we are here just because of the boiler." Li Jinshan said: "Now, the Kiev has arrived at your factory, and we want to go up and see if the boiler inside can still be used."

"Yes." Qin Tao replied simply.

"Yes? That's great. Can you dismantle the boiler and sell it to us?" Li Jinshan was overjoyed.

"cannot."

"Why?"

"Because only two boilers are good, we need to keep them. After the renovation, we still need to drive to the aircraft carrier park in Huating. If there is no power, then we can only drag them there, which will cost too much." Qin

Tao said.

Only two?
