Great warships

Chapter 240
Mingzhou Iron and Steel Works has been able to produce [-] MPa-grade steel plates, but the products are still unstable, good and bad are mixed, but no matter how bad it is, [-] MPa is always available.

With these high-strength steel plates, the ship is stronger and the risk of breaking and sinking is gone.

Other shipyards dare not use this, because this kind of steel plate is too expensive, and Qin Tao needs 6000 million US dollars a piece, which is not high at all.However, their group produces and sells their own products, so the cost is very cheap.

These ships, to say the least, can bring a profit of [-] million to the entire group.

"Boss Qin, are the design flaws real?" Yang Dawei continued to ask.

"Who knows." Qin Tao said irresponsibly, "The ship sank anyway."

The Europeans still have a few brushes, and it is said that there will be no problem of insufficient design strength. Therefore, no one knows what is wrong with this kind of ship that caused the ship to sink.However, after local strengthening, the problem is solved.

Qin Tao will strengthen all of them and use the best steel, so the quality of the product is of course good.As for the increased cost, it will all be paid by the shipowner.

Start to fool the other party with design problems, charge a sky-high design fee, which the other party cannot accept, and then propose a construction cost that is more than twice as expensive. Compared with the two, the other party will still choose the latter.

In this way, their steel plant will be able to produce a large amount of high-strength steel. After the steel is made for the two cargo ships, the technology of the steel plant should also be stabilized.It is said that it is [-] MPa, and a large amount of steel of [-] MPa is used in it, which can be regarded as a surprise for the other party.

In Yang Dawei's heart, there were bursts of emotions, Mr. Qin is so good, so he can achieve multiple goals.

Cong Ju also followed from behind, and said to Qin Tao: "Boss Qin, if the other party signs the contract, we may not have the place to produce for them for the time being!"

The slipways and docks are all occupied, and the 40-ton dock is still under construction. They want to build a 15-ton cargo ship, where will they build it?
Qin Tao smiled: "Of course it will be built at our 40-ton shipyard!"

"But the construction period over there is not over yet!"

"We first build the sections outside the dock, and after the dock is built, use the gantry crane to lift the sections into the dock, and then weld them directly!"

Although the dock is not ready yet, a [-]-ton gantry crane has been erected outside the dock, which can completely weld the cargo ship into [-]-ton sections, and then the gantry crane can complete the transshipment work in turn!
This is the benefit of the [-]-ton gantry crane, which can greatly improve operational efficiency, just like Lao Maozi built an aircraft carrier.

Hearing Qin Tao's words, Cong Ju's eyes lit up: "Yes, we can indeed do this!"

The track of the gantry crane is much longer and wider than the dock. At the end of the dock or on the side of the dock, you can find an open space and weld the sections first. Such a good idea, how could I not think of it?
Cong Ju was a little bit emotional about the gap between herself and Mr. Qin. Perhaps Mr. Qin had already thought of this method when he arranged the gantry crane?
"These foreigners have to think about it for a few days. Let's not worry." Qin Tao said, "Wait for them to come to us. Tonight, I'm leaving for the capital."

"Well, don't worry." Cong Ju said: "Anyway, we are too busy with the work at hand now, so there is no need to rush them."

It is necessary to let these foreigners hang out for a few days and make them anxious, so that their own side can take the initiative. Cong Ju is constantly learning Qin Tao's negotiating skills, and he has more and more means.

Qin Tao nodded: "Sister Cong Ju, you are almost ready to become a teacher."

Cong Ju smiled, but didn't say anything. The gap between him and Mr. Qin is still quite large with this trickery!

That night, a Mercedes-Benz Big G set off from Mingzhou and headed straight for the capital. (I don’t know what happened to the expressway construction at that time. It should not be connected to become an expressway network. Is it more convenient for the protagonist to take the train.)
Thanks to the more comfortable car, Qin Tao and Zhao Ling slept in the back seat. After waking up, they stretched themselves on the large back seat. It can't be flat, otherwise it will be more comfortable if it is flat."

"RV?"

"That's right, it's a car like a house, and the best travel companion. However, it's also very convenient for our group to develop a plane in the future."

In this era when private cars were not yet popular, Qin Tao actually started thinking about private jets. Zhao Ling smiled: "Yes, then I'm looking forward to it."

The car drove into the ash building of the Princess Grave, and the small courtyard was already very lively. When Qin Tao got out of the car, he saw familiar figures inside and couldn't help being a little amused: "Everyone, you are all here to welcome everyone. Is it my new son-in-law?"

Qin Tao and Zhao Ling got married last year, and returned home on the second day of the Lunar New Year this year, which was the first year for the new son-in-law. It was very grand, but no matter how grand it was, it should be a family affair.

What now?
Qin Tao looked at the figures in front of him.

There are people in military uniforms, such as Mr. Lin, and there are people in Chinese tunic suits, such as Mr. Wu. What's the matter with these people?

"We came here to rush through the door. I didn't expect to catch up with your new son-in-law returning home. By the way, I don't have to worry about my younger siblings. I have already ordered two tables of food and drinks in a hotel outside." Elder Lin said: " Now that we've met, let's have fun together, by the way, I even brought Moutai."

Zhao Xiu'e frowned at the side. Of course, she couldn't cook meals for so many people. However, even if she ordered food outside, there were not so many tables and chairs at home!
Of course, Mr. Lin had thought about it a long time ago. When his orderly brought the dishes back, the tables and chairs from the hotel were also brought in. Anyway, Wu Shengli's home is big enough, and there are two tables in the living room. Still no problem.

In fact, in this case, it is more convenient to go to the hotel to eat directly, but in this era, people are more particular. Eating outside is completely different from eating at home.

"Come on, new son-in-law, you have to sit next to the old man." Elder Lin greeted him as if he was the owner of the place.

When everyone was seated, Qin Tao was speechless as he watched Mr. Lin pouring wine for himself. Our father-in-law became a bystander. What's going on?

"Mr. Lin, what's the matter with you guys? As long as I can help, I will definitely help." Qin Tao said to Mr. Lin.

These people obviously have a purpose.

"It's nothing, let's drink first, and we'll talk when we're done." Elder Lin put the wine glass in front of Qin Tao.

"Is it for the delivery of the Su-27? If it is for this kind of thing, then there is no big problem." Qin Tao continued: "Although the Red Empire is gone, Da Mao has inherited the mantle of the Red Empire and continues to work with us. Business is also beneficial to Da Mao, they will implement the contract. Now, they have to support us, Da Mao's huge military industry is now supported by our orders!"

Now that Qin Tao has brought it up, Mr. Lin no longer hides it, and he nodded: "Yes, you are right, we will not worry about the supply of these fighters, we are considering the next The problem of batching fighter jets."

"Currently, our domestic self-developed third-generation aircraft still has no chance of success. The Air Force can't wait anymore. We need more modern third-generation aircraft, so we need more Su-27s!"

Qin Tao understood all of a sudden, he planned to continue buying, and then asked himself, a second-hand dealer, to help!

"Mr. Lin, you are right. Our air force needs more Su-27s. However, our country's economic capacity is limited. If we keep importing them, we cannot meet our needs. We need to introduce technology. The fighters are produced in factories."

Hearing what Qin Tao said, Mr. Lin suddenly became interested: "That's right, Mr. Qin, you are right! That's how we think about it, so we need a suitable person to talk to Lao Maozi! "

At this time, Qin Tao had already picked up the wine glass, poured wine for Mr. Lin, and said while pouring, "Mr. Lin, we have an old saying that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. The Air Force must not be too hasty about this matter."

"What?"

"The Red Empire has only collapsed for a month. Now, their whole country is full of expectations. They hope to become the Western world, and they hope that they can live the life of the West." Qin Tao said: "Now go to the old Maozi , please hug your thigh, people will just look down on us, and then offer a sky-high price."

Qin Tao's words of begging to hug his thighs are so vivid that everyone present couldn't help laughing. Elder Lin couldn't wait to drink Moutai wine into his mouth to moisten his throat, and then asked Qin Tao: "When will you meet?" suitable?"

"After a year and a half, the old Maozi's dream was shattered, and they found that the life they lived was not as good as the previous era of the Red Empire." Qin Tao said: "At that time, the old Maozi's military enterprises have also embarked on the road There is no way out, in order to survive, we have to accept our proposal, export the Su-27 production technology to us, and let us assemble the Su-27 fighter jets at home.”

"A year and a half, so fast?" Everyone present was shocked.

Qin Tao smiled: "This is my personal speculation, let us wait and see. Come, drink!"

Qin Tao just said a bold reasoning and judgment. The people present were shocked, but after the shock, they should have thought that Qin Tao's vision is very broad, and he sees the problem sharply. Qin Tao's prediction did not miss it. , for example, he successfully predicted the collapse of the Red Empire!
In the eyes of these people, he has become a god stick, right?Qin Tao was secretly happy in his heart, he was a time traveler, of course he knew all these things clearly.

It's just that the prophets in history didn't have a good end. The magic stick was usually tied to a pillar and burned to death. It was enough for him to say something bold at the wine table occasionally. On other occasions, he should be cautious in his words and deeds.

Wu Shengli looked at his son-in-law with emotion, and then said, "Taozi, isn't Lao Maozi's place more chaotic now? Can you get us scrap iron like Su-27?"

Qin Tao said firmly: "Of course it's impossible."

I am not omnipotent. How can I buy such a good Su-27 as scrap iron?Each one is counted!If I really fooled the old man to get me here, it would be a serious diplomatic incident.

"If it's scrap metal like the MiG-21, as many as you want, it's not a problem for me to get a few hundred. For the Su-27, let's forget it!" Qin Tao shook his head helplessly.

Disappointment was evident in Wu Shengli's eyes.

The Air Force needs modern fighters, and so does the Navy!

However, the country's funds must first meet the needs of the air force, and the navy has to be patient. If Qin Tao can get the Su-27, the navy can have modern fighters at low cost!The Navy is now supported by Ba Ye, which is too backward.

"However, if you want to get one or two prototypes, it's not a problem, especially the T-10 prototype in Ermao's Nitka base. If the navy is interested, we can get it." Qin Tao said .

When Qin Tao said these words, Wu Shengli's face was full of surprise: "Nitka base, T-10 prototype?"

As the leader of the navy, Wu Shengli certainly knows what the Nitka base is. It is the land training base for Lao Maozi's naval carrier-based aviation unit!

In the era of propeller aircraft, due to the slow speed, there is no difference between operating on an aircraft carrier and on land. However, it is different in the era of jet aircraft. The speed of the aircraft is fast, and the deck of the aircraft carrier is small. Every landing is an aerial acrobatics. , if you are not careful, the machine may be destroyed.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for a novice to train directly with an aircraft carrier. There must be a land-based simulation base for training. Lao Maozi's fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft has just started to grow, so of course there must be such a base.

The Nitka base is a special carrier-based aviation training base established in Ermao. There is a simulated deck of the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier here, which can train pilots to take off and land. At the same time, there are also catapults under development. and other equipment.

As a result, after the separation, Da Mao struggled. For a long time, the Kuznetsov was alone, because there was no way to train carrier-based aircraft pilots!

In this base, there are also a batch of prototypes of carrier-based aircraft. On the one hand, pilots are trained, and on the other hand, Lao Maozi's carrier-based aircraft needs to be continuously improved through experimental feedback.

The U.S. Navy is rich and powerful, and specializes in the development of carrier-based aircraft. Now the famous Tomcat fighter jets and Hornet fighter attack aircraft are specially developed for the Navy.

Other countries do not have this capability, including Lao Maozi. Their carrier aircraft are all improved from land-based fighters. Anyway, the relationship between Lao Maozi's navy and aviation is not so rigid.

A long time ago, Lao Maozi planned to convert the MiG-23 into a carrier-based aircraft. After the conditions were met, their third-generation aircraft such as the MiG-29 and Su-27 had already matured, so Lao Maozi simply turned the MiG-27 into a carrier-based aircraft. These fighters were converted into carrier-based aircraft. After some comparisons, the Su-[-] modification plan was selected.

在苏-27生产型1981年4月首飞1年后的1982年，苏霍伊设计局就开始用他们的T-10-3原型机（苏-27在研制阶段代号T-10，这后面的-3是第三架原型机的意思）在尼特卡基地进行地面滑跃甲板起飞和拦阻着陆的试验。

This T-10-3 is basically the same as the ordinary Su-27 in appearance. Since it is only a prototype produced before, the life of the airframe is limited, and it crashed in the subsequent test flight. Therefore, the Suho The Iraqi Design Bureau produced several prototypes. For example, the T-10-25 prototype began to be put into test work in August 1984. In 8, the T-1986-10 with canard wings also began to be tested.

With the experience of these experimental reserves, in the summer of 1987, the first real prototype of the Su-27K, T-10K-1, was manufactured without folding wings. Half a year later, the second prototype T-10K-2 It was also manufactured and adopted folding wings. Later, two more were built, the prototype T-10K-4, which is also a two-seater trainer.

The technology of these aircraft has matured, and the take-off and landing training has begun on the Kuznetsov, which is still on trial flight, but the Kuznetsov was still called Tbilisi at that time.After a series of test flights, Su-27K was officially named Su-33.
Qin Tao is well aware of these histories. Although it is not clear what type of prototype machine is in Ermao's place, there must be one.These prototypes are useless to Ermao. Years of flight tests have brought the life of the aircraft close to the limit, and they cannot be equipped with their navy. Therefore, these rags can be sold, and , taking advantage of the current chaos, maybe he can continue to use the spirit of Qin Tao's second-hand businessman and buy it at the scrap iron price.

The meaning of Qin Tao's words couldn't be more obvious.

He said long ago that the navy must have an aircraft carrier, so the navy must also have carrier-based aircraft. What kind of carrier-based aircraft can meet the needs of the navy?
At present, the seven masters and eight masters in China are definitely not good, and the No. 611 project that the [-] is studying is also not good.The experience gained by the U.S. Navy is that it is best for naval fighters to have two engines, and the single engine of Project No. The main structural connection of the aircraft is simply unable to adapt to the impact of carrier-based aircraft taking off and landing.

Therefore, if the navy wants to have advanced carrier-based aircraft, it can only follow the old Maozi and aim at the Su-27!

Qin Tao has just said that we need to introduce technology to produce it ourselves. When we import technology, not only the Air Force has it, but the Navy can also have it. Moreover, the Navy can also convert this kind of aircraft into a carrier-based aircraft. As long as we have this A modified prototype, that's easy!

When thinking of this, Wu Shengli was short of breath: "Taozi, when can you get those prototypes back?"

Qin Tao smiled: "Dad, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so why worry?"

Don't worry, wait a minute, those prototypes have been exposed to the sun and wind and turned into scrap iron. Isn't it easy for Qin Tao to go to buy them at that time?

Wu Shengli nodded: "Yes, don't worry, don't worry."

It's useless for him to be anxious. This matter has to be ranked behind the Air Force. It will not be too late to get these things after the Su-27 is officially put into production in China, or even after the Navy officially decides to build an aircraft carrier.

It also depends on Qin Tao's time. When the opportunity comes, it will come naturally.

After saying this, Qin Tao looked at Mr. Wu again.

"Old Wu, do you have anything to say?"

Qin Tao and Mr. Wu are also old friends. They even went to Lao Maozi's place together and talked about everything, so Mr. Wu was not polite. He said to Qin Tao: "Mr. Qin, I heard that you are in Huating. By the way, encourage them to further improve and increase the range after developing the basic model of Hongqi-16, so as to grab our jobs?"

Looking at Mr. Wu's face, Qin Tao knew that he was joking, so Qin Tao joked along: "Of course, it will save some people from being passive and slowing down their work."

Mr. Wu shook his head helplessly: "This is not a level at all. We want to refer to Lao Maozi's technology to improve the performance of our weapons. We want to be better than blue. If it is just imitation, then we have already Create related products!"

So far, Qin Tao has not been able to tell about the Red Flag Nine project, but some of the side branches can already be said. After all, if there is no accident, Qin Tao will definitely build the future Aegis battleship.

"Then you have to work hard." Qin Tao said: "Otherwise, not only will you be robbed of your job by the Hongqi-16, but you may also be robbed of your job by the imported S-300. The Red Empire is gone, and the old man is in the arms export You will be bolder, and maybe you will export the advanced models you are developing, and you will be under a lot of pressure."

"An advanced model under development?"

"It's the PMU2 version." Qin Tao said: "This version's interception capability is more outstanding. For example, ballistic missiles can also be intercepted. By the way, the Air Force's S-300V can also intercept, but the two are different. The former can be optimized. Fly ballistically, and destroy the ballistic missiles flying on the opposite side at a distance of [-] kilometers."

Elder Wu's face became serious.

How far an anti-aircraft weapon can fly is a very magical number. The same missile can fly different distances with different trajectory, such as launching vertically, leaving the dense atmosphere and then turning. Farther away.

However, it is still against the sky to fly to a ballistic missile two hundred kilometers away.

He came here purely to join in the fun.But I didn't expect that he came here to seek abuse, and Qin Tao's words made him feel very abused!

"In the past, we always thought that ballistic missiles could not be intercepted, but now it seems that with the development of technology, many impossibilities will become possible!" Mr. Wu said with emotion.

"Of course." Qin Tao said: "Now, the world situation has changed, and a certain country will also seek its own absolute security, so they will also try to intercept intercontinental ballistic missiles and develop their own national anti-missile system gone."
