Tang Hua: "When Mr. Shigeru Makino was still in Japan, he must have paid attention to the process of the Taiwan War and knew how the fleets of the United States and Chiang Kai-shek were wiped out."
Shigeru Makino: "Yes, I paid close attention to the Taiwan War all the way, because before that I had the idea of coming to China to find a job. After the destruction of the American fleet, I spent most of my time restoring that battle. … Anti-ship missiles are an epoch-making innovation, but surface combat ships equipped with anti-ship missiles are still inseparable from aircraft carriers, and an aircraft carrier is necessary to maximize the combat effectiveness of surface combat ships equipped with anti-ship missiles."
Tang Hua: "Yes, the curvature of the earth."
Makino Shigeru nodded vigorously.Tang Hua replied 6 words and pointed out what he was going to say, so there was no need to continue talking.
"Mr. Tang answered my question without hesitation. It seems that the range of anti-ship missiles in the future must be far more than 30-40 kilometers." After thinking for a while, Makino Shigeru said.
Tang Hua: "There is no need to guess. If you just asked me directly, I would answer it. The law of the development of weaponry and equipment technology is like this. In the future, anti-ship missiles with longer ranges will inevitably appear, far exceeding the radar installed on the tallest mast. At that time, aircraft carriers were needed in the open sea, and shore-based long-range aircraft were needed in the middle and near seas. We will adopt the latter method for a long time in the future. The navy and the shore-based air force will cooperate together to operate outside China Establish a sea and air defense circle forward."
Makino Shigeru: "Then I can be sure, I only need to wait two or three years at most in China, and I will not be short of jobs in the future."
Tang Hua nodded with a smile.
Indeed there is no shortage of...
He and Xiao Jinguang had already exchanged news, and Tang Hua knew that the chairman had attended the Navy's campaign summary meeting, and proposed a major strategic change.
Of course, this matter cannot be told to Makino Shigeru, just nod to show that he is right.
……
Shigeru Makino did not have to wait long for his political trial.Anyway, the social relationship is like that. According to the usual practice, the letters, parcels and telegrams he sends need to apply for review.In addition, if he resigns (only if), he needs to stay in China for 6 years before returning to Japan.
On the day Makino passed the political trial, Tang Hua, Makino Shigeru, and comrades from the Shipbuilding Industry Bureau were on the Huangpu River and saw with their own eyes the destroyers of the national army captured/insurgents in the Taiwan War arrive in Shanghai.
After the uprising, the navy officers and soldiers of the national army were actually missing. After screening and review, another group of sailors and technical officers left.But the task now is to drive the ship from Keelung to Shanghai. The number of sailors left is almost enough. If there is a shortage of people in any position, we will send a team from our warship to make do.
"For this transfer, the Air Force sent six MiG-6s in formation of four aircraft to the sky over the East China Sea early in the morning," Tang Hua said, "This welcome specification is quite grand."
Cheng Wang: "There must be warships of the U.S. Navy hidden in the waters near Okinawa, as well as shore-based aircraft in Okinawa, and maybe an aircraft carrier. The eyes of the Americans are still red, and the bloodshot has not subsided yet."
"The broken Fletcher, has it been dismantled now?"
Cheng Wang: "In the past more than a month, the fine parts were first dismantled. Last week, the hull was cut in the dock. It is estimated that in another month, it will be completely back to the parts, and then the Danyang will be sent to the dock for repairs. return."
Tang Hua laughed when he heard the name of the Danyang ship: "This ship has a very good reputation."
Cheng Wang: "We don't talk about superstition. In fact, we really want to try to see if it has supernatural powers."
It took an afternoon for 3 Fletcher-class destroyers and 3 Keeling-class destroyers, and finally all six ships were berthed at dusk.
Shanghai does not have a large naval base, and the six destroyers are all parked at the civilian ship dock.Anyway, the shipping in China's major ports is quite weak now, and the docks are not at all tense.
"Mr. Makino," Tang Hua said to Shigeru Makino, "Did you study the Keeling and Fletcher classes during the war?"
"I have studied, but mainly after the war. During the war, I only studied a little bit based on limited and erroneous data." Shigeru Makino said, "After the war, there was never a shortage of American warships in Japan's ports. I did a lot of research in 1947. Also, in [-] I was invited to the United States to participate in a symposium... but it doesn't matter."
Tang Hua: "An unimportant academic exchange meeting?"
Makino Shigeru: "Yes. I was invited by Newport News and the U.S. Naval Ship Bureau to participate in an academic exchange meeting. I talked about the design and construction of the Yamato class. I also visited two battleships in the United States. After that, I agreed to cooperate in writing the battleship. Some historical materials."
...well, it really doesn't matter.
Tang Hua: "It's not particularly important, but when our shipyard is preparing for expansion and new construction, what you see may still have some reference significance. Well, let's go back to the original topic. You must have guessed it. All six warships will be sent to the shipbuilding yard in the future."
"That must be a complete transformation. The Shipbuilding Industry Bureau is already designing a modernization plan, right?"
Tang Hua: "We will go to the design office tomorrow."
……
The Shanghai Ship Design Institute of the Shipbuilding Industry Bureau is an unremarkable two-story brick building.
Shigeru Makino is also very familiar with ship design units.Walking into the building, he saw the familiar office, the trolley for materials, the intern who carried the materials with pouting buttocks, the drawing table, the model board, and things he was not familiar with.
"A computer." "Another computer." "This should be a computer too."
Shigeru Makino saw a T52 or T53 computer in most design rooms.The last thing he saw in the general room was a computer made up of two cabinets.
"This computer is a T53-based small workstation customized by the ship's design," Tang Hua said. "The computing speed is 2.5 times that of ordinary computers."
"I heard that China's computers are likely to be ahead of the United States. Now there are more than a dozen computers in this building. Many engineering calculations in the design process can greatly save time. They are already so powerful, and the calculation speed needs to be increased to 2.5 times?"
Tang Hua: "This computer is not helping the designer to perform engineering calculations during the design process, it is helping the designer to design the ship."
Makino Shigeru:? !
……
The history of CAD (Computer Aided Design) dates back to 1957.In this year, Patrick Hanratty of MCS (Manufacturing and Consulting Services) developed a software called PRONTO for commercial CNC programming.
In 1960, Ivan Sutherland of the Lincoln Laboratory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology developed a tool called SKETCHPAD.
Now this small workstation is installed with FTS1.0, Aided Graphics Design 1.0, developed by the Software Center of Shanghai Institute of Computer Science.
The T53 display can not only display dot matrix letters, but also dot matrix patterns.But so far, most T53 buyers are obsessed with the excellent ergonomics of this computer's input and output devices, and the graphics, the biggest innovation, are rarely noticed.
Shanghai Ship Design Institute may be the first unit to use this function and bring it to the extreme.
Although it is still a relatively crude function, although it is 2D CAD, but... T53 can't run.That's why you want a small workstation.
In addition to multi-insert processing units to enhance data processing capabilities, a 128K magnetic core memory is also used for the first time, and 4 oil drum hard drives are hung.
Shigeru Makino graduated from the Naval Engineering Department of the University of Tokyo in 1925, studied at the National Academy of Naval Architecture in Cherbourg, France, and went to the UK for academic exchanges.But now he looks dazed...
He had seen introductions to computers in newspapers and magazines before.Haven't actually touched a computer.
Not to mention a small workstation with FTS1.0 installed and the software interface open.
……
However, the interfaces of the T53 and the workstation are still in English, so Makino Shigeru is not completely incomprehensible.
In front of the screen of the workstation, Makino Shigeru and Pan Jingfu sat side by side.After Pan Jingfu ran FTS1.0, a few lines appeared on the black screen:
