Chapter 160, Hulan River Shipyard
Hulan River, training dock of Kazakhstan Military and Naval Engineering Department.
A guided missile boat without a missile system (that is, a P6 torpedo boat) towed a ship approaching the pier from a distance.
The boat that was being towed was square-headed and looked a bit like a river ferry, but on closer inspection it was much uglier than a river ferry.There is a big bulge on the bow, which is actually a wooden model of an aero engine—not only the engine, but the entire "hovercraft" is a full-scale model made of wood and iron.
There is a hole in the center of the raised part, which is the air intake.Because the middle is occupied by the engine, the control room of the ship is divided into two, one on each side of the ship.
"This Gu Maoxiang said that the hovercraft can run at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour. From April to now, the model has been dragged around on the river, and the speed has never exceeded 4 kilometers per hour." Chen Geng said.
Tang Hua: "This is just a model. The model towing test only started in April, is it because the Hulan River thawed?"
Chen Geng: "Yes, the Hulan River only thaws in early April every year."
"I've been wondering whether it would be better for the Naval Engineering Department of your Military Engineering College to move to Dalian," Tang Hua said, "otherwise, as it is now, the Naval Department will become a military department, and rely on an annual A river frozen for five or six months."
Chen Geng (in deep thought): "When the Military Engineering College was first established, the Soviet Union provided hardware and faculty support. We didn't think so much. We couldn't miss this opportunity. We packed up the Naval Engineering Department. In addition, considering that at that time The coast is not safe yet. Now it seems that moving to the sea is beneficial.”
Tang Hua: "However, this should be a matter for Mr. Peng and Mr. Su to consider."
Chen Geng: "But there is already a naval command school in Dalian. But you are right, let Boss Peng consider it."
……
"Hello Principal, Hello Minister Tang."
It was not Gu Maoxiang who jumped off the hovercraft model, but Yun Liang.
Yun Liang is a "post-30s", graduated from Dalian Institute of Technology in 1953, and became a teacher of Harbin Military Industry at the age of 24.He and Gu Maoxiang were originally the designers of the world's first hovercraft capable of long-distance sea voyages, which crossed the English Channel 13 days earlier than the hovercraft designed by British engineer Cockrell.
"Little Yun, why don't you show us the actual hovercraft that is being manufactured." Chen Geng said.
The Naval Engineering Department found an open space by the Hulan River for the hovercraft design team and built a shipbuilding "workshop". The parts are machined and then fitted to the framed hovercraft.
"Reporting to the principal, the full-scale model of the hovercraft was completed in January this year, and the towed sailing test began in April, and the sailing parameters of the small waterline ship were obtained and calculated, proving that the design of the hovercraft is feasible. So from June 1 , we started building the first proof-of-principle hovercraft."
Gu Maoxiang reported on his recent work.The net weight of the hovercraft's verification boat is about 4 tons. One aviation propeller engine blows air downward to float the hull, and the other propeller engine provides forward power backward.A backward-blowing propeller motor deflects like an oscillating fan, acting as the hovercraft's rudder.
"What you are doing now is a sidewall hovercraft," Tang Hua asked, "Do you have a plan for designing a full-lift hovercraft?"
Gu Maoxiang: "Yes. From the very beginning, we studied two kinds of hovercraft solutions, and finally chose the side-wall solution, because the side-wall version has less technical risk and is easier to manufacture. A full-cushion lift hovercraft requires a very Big rubber apron, the raw material is expensive, and it is not easy to process."
"The left and right sides of the sidewall hovercraft do not need rubber aprons to seal, as long as the front and rear rubber aprons are sufficient. It can be used as a fast transport ship between islands in the future, performing fast cargo and personnel transportation tasks. But after all, the sidewall hovercraft has two The small water plane is always inserted into the water, the navigation resistance is slightly larger, and it is inconvenient to drive to land.”
Yun Liang: "We plan to build another fully-lifting hovercraft for testing after the test of this verification ship passes."
"This development path is correct, but," Tang Hua looked at the extremely rudimentary riverside shipyard, "The Military Engineering Academy is not a shipbuilding enterprise, and the hardware conditions are still a bit poor, which will affect your research and construction progress. President Chen, how about sending this design team to Dalian? Dalian Shipyard can give them a slipway."
Chen Geng: "Gu Maoxiang, Yun Liang, you can appoint a few students as staff, and let them be seconded for a year."
Tang Hua: "Hehe, President Chen, it's not that they are seconded to the Dalian Shipyard, but the Dalian Shipyard is lending slipways and shipbuilding equipment to the Military Engineering Academy. I won't compete with you..."

After the Battle of Taiwan, the navy and air force formulated a plan to build a "regional anti-intervention" defense-in-depth system in the middle and offshore waters, and it is now slowly taking shape.It is estimated that by 1960, the Chinese navy and air force will be able to effectively carry out anti-intervention operations in the surrounding areas.
Although this anti-access system looks rough, the U.S. navy and air force at that time were also rough. With the establishment of the anti-access system, basically China's maritime defense will have no problem.
What about after the defense is okay?
In the original history, as soon as Yun Liang's hovercraft was built, Boss Peng glanced at the hovercraft verification ship and immediately realized that this thing was very useful for liberating Taiwan.The research on Chinese hovercraft has been uninterrupted. The design of 60 in the late 722s and the design of 70-II in the mid-722s can all be attributed to the promotion of this demand.
In this timeline...
Now it is a bit reluctant to say that the hovercraft has any strong impetus, because there is no battle to fight around China.But as the nature of technology verification and exploration, it is still possible to set up a research project on hovercraft.
The research on hovercraft should continue, so that one day in the future, when the Chinese navy feels that it should go out to make troubles, the shipbuilding industry system can immediately come up with relatively mature hovercraft technology, or even directly come up with a semi-finished design.

In addition to Harbin Military Industry, Harbin also has Harbin Institute of Technology.After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the faculties of Harbin Institute of Technology were tilted in the direction of aerospace, because Harbin Institute of Technology was established.
哈尔滨飞机设计制造联合体1952年就成立了，初期是对图-2、图-4和伊尔-28进行大修的厂子，在确定引进图-16之后，1955年哈飞轰炸机部整体迁移到西安。
Since it did not imitate the Il-28, Xifei was established earlier, but Hafei suffered from it. At that time, it only had a bomber department...in an instant it became an empty shell.Then the helicopter department was newly established in the empty factory.
"In Wuliangsuhai and Xinjiang missile test bases, the Mi-4 has been used as an aerial tool for searching for warheads. The troops responded very well. The airborne troops got two of them. The evaluation of the Mi-4 is higher. It is more convenient to use it for airborne than parachuting. a lot of."
Air Force Deputy Commander Cao Lihuai is in Harbin. At the beginning of 57, China bought a small batch of Mi-4 from the Soviet Union for trial use—mainly for the test base to find simulated warheads, and then many troops became interested in Mi-4.
Tang Hua: "Helicopters can land vertically and drop troops to the ground, and can also hover and drop by cables. If equipped with this thing, there will be no such thing as parachute deviation for airborne troops, and the training requirements for soldiers are also great. The range is reduced. However, this thing has a big disadvantage: expensive."
Cao Lihuai sighed "Oh".
Not to mention helicopters, the Air Force has now organized an airborne division plus a special airborne regiment. In the long-term construction plan of the Air Force, two airborne divisions will be reorganized to form an airborne army of three divisions.But until now, the transport aircraft used by the Airborne Forces can only drop one airborne regiment at a time.
There are not enough transport planes, and it is even more difficult to use helicopters to project troops.
"Hafei is determined to take helicopters as its main business. If it can produce helicopters by itself in the future, the cost of equipping the troops with helicopters will be lower, but it should still be higher than the parachuting method of fixed-wing transport aircraft," Tang Hua said, "There is another one. , Not only the Air Force has a great demand for helicopters, the Navy also has it, ... the Army also has it.”

September 9, Cape Canaveral.
Last month, the two rockets failed, and the United States continued in September.
The Raytheon-DM18 of the U.S. Navy was launched first. Last month, it disintegrated after 92 seconds into the air. Today’s one was lucky. It successfully drilled out of the atmosphere, flew 1800 kilometers and fell into the Atlantic Ocean.
Raytheon-DM18 finally had a success after three consecutive failures. The U.S. Navy was greatly encouraged, and the "Pioneer" carrier rocket based on Raytheon-DM18 finally saw a glimmer of light.
9 month 24 day.
Still at Cape Canaveral, this time the launcher is a big guy, the U.S. Air Force's intercontinental missile prototype - Atlas.
Atlas A fired once in June and it blew up.
The current strategy of the United States is very clear. In order to seize time, first use the path of Raytheon-Pioneer-Pioneer TV3 to launch a satellite into the sky.So after the failure in June, it took a full three months before the U.S. Air Force made a new missile and pulled it out for a test launch.
After ignition and launch, the Atlas A successfully lifted off, turned around as planned when it was more than 1000 meters above the sky, and continued to fly upwards.Flying, flying, its engine fire went out.
The second Atlas prototype failed due to failure of the fuel pump system.

Beijing.
"The Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union authorized me to inform my comrades in China that the first artificial satellite of the Soviet Union has been ready at the launch site and is ready to be launched at any time from September 9. This is a major event in the socialist camp. If If the artificial satellite is successfully launched, then there will be some coordination in terms of publicity and public opinion..."
