Wang Bin nodded and was very satisfied with the situation of the shipyard. Although in terms of military ships, the company can only manufacture warships of less than 10000 tons, or even offshore warships of less than 5000 tons, or even about one or two thousand tons.

However, even if such a capability is placed in the whole of China, few private shipyards can do it. After all, most of the other private manufacturers can only manufacture some small warships with a tonnage of only dozens or even hundreds of tons and some patrol boats. According to this tonnage, even in this era, It can also be regarded as frigate level.

”Mr. Wang! Although I have never built a warship with a tonnage of more than 3000 tons, according to my estimation, our shipyard wants to build a warship with a tonnage of about 3000 tons. With our technology, if it is only the ship body, it will definitely be a meter away problem, but we have no good way in terms of engine.

After all, the engines used in our shipyard are basically civil rather than military. At the same time, our shipyard does not have the ability to manufacture ship engines. Basically, the engines are purchased from major engines at home and abroad, while military engines are good in China. For example, engines below 3000 tons can still be purchased Yes.

And more than 3000 tons are difficult. As for the import of foreign military ship engines, there is no need to think about it at all. It is impossible for others to sell them to us. ”

However, because of this, as early as the first two years, our shipyard also invested a lot of money in the research and development of ship engines, and achieved some results.

For example, the engines used in the 1000 ton warships manufactured by our shipyard are not made by ourselves, but the engine design is designed by our shipyard and commissioned by other engine production companies.

Although the engine designed by ourselves is not compared with the same type of foreign engine, even compared with the engine produced by the domestic official large engine group, the performance of our engine is far from comparable.

At the same time, we are also making efforts in this regard in terms of large tonnage and high-power ship engines. Unfortunately, even though our shipyard has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in this regard, it is still unable to develop its own engines.

After all, compared with domestic official marine engine manufacturers and international marine engine manufacturers, our shipyard started too late in this regard, and it is impossible to reach their level in a short time.

However, fortunately, the newly emerging engine technology in the world, that is, the electric driven engine technology, is also being developed in our shipyard. In this regard, we have also made some achievements and have begun to be applied to some small tonnage ships in our shipyard for testing.

According to the test data, the effect is very good. It can not only greatly and effectively improve the endurance of the ship, but also the maintenance work. It is much easier than using diesel engine, turbine and other engines before.

Most importantly, in terms of navigation costs, it has greatly saved a lot. After all, using electric drive, the energy conversion rate can not be compared with previous diesel engines and steam turbines. ” Cui long said proudly.
