When the representatives of 704 Shipyard were invited to come, the senior navy officials were waiting with high expectations for them to present their new frigate design.
After everyone took their seats, the Flame Nation navy smiled and signaled to the 704 Shipyard team that they could start to introduce their frigate design plan in detail.
At this moment, Lin Chenran, who was sitting in the first place, turned slightly sideways, and his eyes as gentle as the warm sun but as firm as steel fell gently on Sun Yong, who looked slightly nervous next to him.
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said slowly in a soft but powerful voice, "Sun Yong, go!"
"Introduce the design plan of our carefully crafted White Shark Frigate to the naval leaders in detail."
This simple sentence was like a spring breeze blowing through Sun Yong's heart, instantly calming down his initially flustered heart.
"Believe in yourself, you can definitely do it!" Lin Chenran encouraged with a smile.
Sun Yong Hearing this, a warm current surged up in his heart, as if he had been injected with infinite courage and confidence.
He secretly took a deep breath, tried to calm the turmoil in his heart, and slowly stood up from his seat.
He first lowered his head and pondered for a moment, quickly sorted out the thoughts in his mind, and then raised his head with a confident and steady smile on his face.
At this time, all Flame Nation navy leaders in the conference room also cast curious eyes on the young man who was striding towards him.
Their eyes were full of surprise, obviously they did not expect that the chief engineer of 704 Shipyard responsible for the design of White Shark Frigate would be so young.
But soon, these experienced leaders realized that, as the saying goes, "A person cannot be judged by his appearance, and a sea cannot be measured by its measure."
Age cannot be a criterion for measuring a person's ability.
Maybe this young man who looks a little green and immature on the outside will be like the meteor that cuts through the night sky, bringing everyone an incredible and huge surprise beyond imagination?
I saw a confident yet humble smile on Sun Yong's face. He bent slightly and bowed deeply to the many leaders from the Flame Nation navy present.
Then he said in a loud and passionate voice, "Today, I want to present to you a new frigate carefully designed by our 704 Shipyard - White Shark Frigate."
As soon as he finished speaking, the staff quickly distributed part of the White Shark Frigate design plan to every Flame Nation navy boss present.
Everyone couldn't wait to read through it, and their eyes were quickly attracted by the various data in it.
The basic parameters of White Shark Frigate are quite outstanding: its captain is actually 134 meters long.
This length allows the hull to accommodate more advanced equipment and weapons systems;
Its side width is also as much as 16 meters. Such a wide hull not only increases the stability during sailing, but also provides more ample space for the internal cabin;
The maximum draft is as deep as 5 meters, which means it can adapt to various complex sea conditions;
The most eye-catching thing is its full load displacement, which is astonishingly high at 4053 tons!
Such a huge size is enough to make it a giant on the sea.
When the Flame Nation naval leaders saw these basic parameters, their originally serious faces instantly became excited, and their eyes involuntarily glowed with golden light.
I thought to myself, "This is the frigate we dream of!"
"Compared with the previous frigate designs submitted by other shipyards, they are simply insignificant and cannot meet our needs at all."
The frigate designs of several previous shipyards have been abandoned!
A group of domestic shipyards. "Bah! Scumbag!!!"
"In the past, if you needed my frigate design, you would call me Xiao Tiantian, but now the new guy is better than the old one. 704 Shipyard's White Shark Frigate design is better, so I call her Mrs. Niu! Bah, bah, bah!"
"The tonnage of Chief Designer Sun and White Shark Frigate is so large, can its speed meet the standard?"
An important figure in the Flame Nation navy raised his hand high and unceremoniously interrupted Sun Yong who was explaining endlessly on the stage.
Although this navy boss also longed to own a huge and powerful warship.
But he knows that for frigates, speed is definitely a crucial indicator.
If the speed is not fast enough, no matter how huge the tonnage of this frigate is, it may not be able to meet the diverse combat needs and strategic deployment of the Flame Nation Navy.
Among the previous frigate design plans submitted by several well-known domestic shipyards, they were all subject to certain restrictions in terms of maximum displacement and tonnage.
Most of the frigates in these plans have a displacement between 2,000 tons and 3,000 tons.
However, the White Shark Frigate launched by 704 Shipyard was an instant hit, and its tonnage soared to a huge 4,000 tons!
I have to say that this White Shark Frigate is indeed a giant.
But if you sacrifice your precious speed advantage in pursuit of a bigger body, wouldn't you be picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon?
In the end, the gains outweighed the losses.
The navy boss couldn't help but frown, with a worried look on his face.
Faced with everyone's doubts and concerns, Sun Yong just smiled slightly, appearing confident and calm.
He cleared his throat, and then began to explain in detail to everyone present in an extremely patient and professional tone:
"Please rest assured, the key to the reason why our White Shark Frigate can have such a huge tonnage without having to worry about the speed not meeting the standard lies in the powerful power output device it is equipped with - the Hurricane diesel engine independently designed and developed by our 704 Shipyard."
In order to ensure sufficient and powerful power supply, 704 Shipyard assembled four world-leading Hurricane diesel engines at one time for White Shark Frigate.
When these four engines are fully fired and started at full power, the surging power they burst out will be jaw-dropping.
The maximum speed this frigate can reach is an astonishing 28 knots.
When the senior leaders of the Flame Nation Navy at the scene heard that White Shark Frigate had such an outstanding top speed, their eyes instantly shone with excitement, as if they had discovered a rare treasure.
This speed is simply outstanding for a frigate. How can such performance not make people amazed again and again?
They couldn't help but sigh, "This... this is really too powerful!"
The power output device equipped with White Shark Frigate is not imported, but manufactured by 704 Shipyard.
Previously, several other shipyards' power design plans for frigates either planned to purchase diesel engines from abroad, or planned to introduce foreign gas turbines as power output devices.
If we are really unfortunate enough to encounter a war, once foreign countries suddenly cut off the engine supply channels to our country, then those frigates that rely on imported engines may be in an extremely embarrassing situation - they are likely to be reduced to useless scrap metal.
It can't even sail out of the port, let alone go into battle to perform missions.
This situation is undoubtedly what the senior leaders of the Flame Nation Navy least want to see.
The same was true for Flame Nation Air Force's aircraft engines before.
Very dependent on imported aircraft engines.
