Great warships

Chapter 444

The first ship of the 054 frigate was launched after the ceremony, but Qin Tao did not catch up with the launching ceremony, because he was busy with Ermao at that time, and this busy work took only one or two months.

Now, the frigate is in the busy outfitting stage, and the weapon system has also begun to be installed in an orderly manner.

It's time to install the air defense system!
The Hongqi-16 missile has been developed for such a long time, and this is the first time it has been installed. The relevant units are very concerned and have sent a large number of technicians to help.

Although Zhao Ling is currently in charge of the research and development of the follow-up models, after all, she is the one who developed the Hongqi-16. Now that she is about to outfit it, she also plans to go and have a look.

What about Qin Tao?
Of course I have to go with my wife and children!

On April 95, 4, Qin Tao returned to Mingzhou.

It was not a short time to go out this time, but the shipyard has long been used to the days when Qin Tao is not around, and everything is in order.

The built 054 looks very beautiful.

Starting from the bow of the ship, a broken line extends continuously backwards. The more backwards it is, the more its upper area is, all of which are inclined inward, covering all the superstructures inside.

Except for the 022 missile boat, it is the only one that pays attention to the stealth design. The two 051C ships built before are not so extreme.

The shape design of this warship has reached a perfect state, and the buildings on it are more capable.

Compared with the Lavant-class, its front building has no direct knuckles, and there are special plane transitions on both sides, which looks more mature and stable. It has two masts on the top, and the main mast on the front bridge. It can be seen that there is a structure protruding horizontally. Since the radar has not been installed, the outside world cannot know its radar model.

As for the chimney at the back, a mast has also been added. I don’t know if it is to prevent smoke or something else. The top of this mast is a big ball, and radar equipment will also be installed inside.

Zhou Yongfei was busy beside this warship.

Zhou Yongfei has been in charge of warships since he came to the shipyard. After the two 051Cs were built, he was also in charge of the construction of 054. Now, he is very happy to see Qin Tao coming.

"Mr. Qin, you're back. You don't even know. Some time ago, when this warship was launched, the scene was even more spectacular than the launch of the 051C. Especially the leaders of the Southern Fleet, many people came to participate. After the launching ceremony, we stayed for two more days, and we Yang Gong gave these leaders a detailed explanation for two days, and they came to inspect from time to time."

Among the three major fleets, the Southern Fleet is the poorest. They are waiting for new warships to join them. The 054 that is being built now is for them. Can they not be in a hurry?

"Then what did they say?"

"They are very satisfied with our warships. Whether it is air defense or anti-submarine, they are proficient in everything, but there is nothing special about anti-ship."

At present, the YJ-81 is still used for anti-ship missiles. This kind of anti-ship missile with a range of more than 40 kilometers is indeed not outstanding. However, these are temporary. The YJ-81 is being developed intensively, and it will wait until it comes out. After that, it can be changed at any time.

"We can't blame us for this, we don't make missiles." Qin Tao said: "However, they have anti-ship weapons, and what they lack most is anti-aircraft ships."

"That's right, what they pay the most attention to is our Hongqi-16 missile. Those leaders have repeatedly urged that the construction task must be successfully completed, and there should be no regrets."

"That's for sure. We have invited the designers of the Hongqi-16 missile to assist in the installation and provide technical guidance. There must be no accidents. This is our first domestically produced vertical launch missile."

The 051C is the S-300, this kind of missile is old Maozi, Hongqi-16, it is absolutely authentic domestic product!

"That's really great!" Zhou Yongfei said, looking around, and sure enough, he saw a familiar figure.

"Gong Zhao came in person? We can rest assured now."

Zhao Ling had already boarded the warship and stood at the front to check.

The installation is also very particular, and there must be a safe plan. At this time, she was so engrossed that Qin Tao didn't even notice it when he came to the side.

"Our most mature method is the turntable launch method, so there is no problem, right?"

Qin Tao's words startled Zhao Ling, she turned her head to look at Qin Tao, and nodded: "Yes, no problem, but this method is too wasteful of space, if there is thermal emission in the future, it can be directly made side by side way, more space-saving."

"Lao Maozi has been researching, and it should be fruitful. At that time, our Hongqi-16 modification will be available." Qin Tao said, and said with emotion: "I still remember the first time I saw When you were at the time, we still used the huge Hongqi-61."

The first time Qin Tao and Zhao Ling met was at the Huating Shipyard, where they were in charge of testing the Hongqi-61. Zhao Ling was the tester on board the ship. The huge six-unit cylindrical launcher looked like a So spectacular.

"Yeah, I also remember that we couldn't even fold the wings at that time, and we made improvements based on your suggestion. However, because the technology is too outdated, Hongqi-61 still doesn't have a lot of equipment in the end."

The missiles that have been engaged in for decades, when they finally mature, they are already very old, and they are really unable to undertake the corresponding missions. Therefore, apart from the few frigates that were started to be built, Hongqi-61 has no more missiles. Piggyback opportunities.

Now, the performance of the Hongqi-16 in front of us is far superior to that of the Hongqi-61. That missile will be submerged in the long river of history.

Thinking about it, it really makes people feel emotional.

"Without you, perhaps we would still be standing still." Zhao Ling said with emotion.

"No, this is not due to me alone. Even if I got Shi Jili back, without the tireless research and development of researchers like you, we would not be able to obtain the harvest we are seeing now."

What Qin Tao said was the truth, and it was really not his fault alone. Zhao Ling and her colleagues spent countless sleepless nights in order to imitate Shi Jili for surveying and mapping.

It is precisely because of the hard work of so many scientific researchers that the military industry of the motherland can develop rapidly.

Zhou Yongfei followed behind, silently not speaking, but feeling in his heart, these two couples really love each other, but his couple is different, although they both work in the same shipyard, they never see each other at all!

However, Zhou Yongfei didn't complain at all. Cong Ju was originally a serious person in his work. Now, Cong Ju is simply the top leader of Mingzhou Shipyard. Even Qin Baoshan doesn't have the power of Cong Ju. He dies for his confidant. Zhou Yongfei works here with all his heart.

Moreover, the work at hand really satisfied him, this is the most advanced frigate in the country, even the most advanced frigate in the world!

"Let's go, let's go to the dock." After reading 054, Qin Tao went to the dock.

Xu Zhengyang followed behind.

"President Qin, this kind of warship looks really good." Xu Zhengyang said as he walked.

"That's natural. In the future, in the order of our navy, this kind of warship will be the backbone of the sea. Whether it's escorting or fighting pirates, this kind of ship can be sent there. In the future, we will go to the Gulf of Aden to patrol. There is no need to send our main destroyer, this kind of frigate is enough."

The main destroyer uses a gas turbine, which consumes too much fuel. The 054 frigate uses a diesel engine, which is economical and affordable. It is definitely an all-rounder at sea.

"Fighting pirates?" Xu Zhengyang remembered his experience in the Gulf of Aden, so it's really good to say that.

"Boss Qin, in the future we can use the name of fighting pirates to stay there permanently. After the development of Gwadar Port, we can also use it as a supply base." Xu Zhengyang began to analyze.

Qin Tao turned his head and glanced at him: "Have you learned to think too?"

"Of course, Mr. Qin, I also learned a lot about these strategic arrangements from you."

While speaking, he had already reached the dock.

"President Qin!" Seeing Qin Tao coming, Kozlov was so excited that he almost trotted over, his face full of excitement: "President Qin! Where's the Varyag? When will it arrive? We can't wait!"

Kozlov, Sorokin, and many workers from the Black Sea Shipyard were extremely excited at this time.

When they saw Makarov visiting the shipyard, they were already guessing whether the Mingzhou Group was going to buy the Varyag. Later, they heard that the Chuanglv Group had purchased the ship, and they were very disappointed. I thought I was going to miss the Varyag.

Then, they heard that the Shenzhou floating dock appeared there and carried the Varyag back, and they became excited again.

Mr. Qin, it must be Mr. Qin who did it, only he is so capable!
A few days ago, they received news that the ships under construction in the dock should be completed as soon as possible and the dock should be vacated, so they guessed even more.

They will continue to build the Varyag!
"What Varyag?" Qin Tao glanced at the excited Kozlov: "That's the Eastern Sea Barrier!"

Dongfang Sea Blockade?Whatever it is, in short, it's that boat!
"That ship is in poor condition, you guys have to be prepared."

"Yes, we have already prepared. During this time, we have been recalling the construction process, and we pieced together a blueprint." Kazlov said, and took out the blueprint.

The proportions are not coordinated. After all, they are not professional draftsmen. However, Qin Tao is very curious about the dense markings on it, all of which are names of people!

"Where we have built ourselves, we will write the name on it, and we will be familiar with it when it is refitted, and we can complete the remodeling in the shortest time." Kozlov said: "We look forward to it sailing again in the The sea!"

Looking at the excited Kozlov, Qin Tao really couldn't pour cold water on him.

"These are things for the future. After the ship comes back, the first thing to do is to remove the rust, which will take a long time."

In many cases, a second-hand ship may not necessarily save trouble than a new ship, and may even consume more man-hours. Now when the ship comes back, derusting is a big job.

"There are also a lot of barnacles growing on the bottom of the boat." Kazlov said: "We have already prepared a batch of tools, and using them to operate will definitely be smoother."

Following his words, Sorokin on the side handed over a shovel.

Judging from the size, this thing is similar to a shovel for eating, with a black texture on the surface, which looks very special.

"What is this?" Qin Tao asked curiously.

"The electric shovel is specially used to shovel the bottom of the ship." Sorokin said proudly: "We can install it on the front end of the impact drill instead of the drill bit, and only activate the impact mode, so that the shovel will continue to impact forward. To achieve the purpose of shoveling things, in order to enhance its strength, we specially selected the highest strength alloy steel we produced, which is quite easy to use.”

As Sorokin said, he brought another impact drill and combined them. Although there is no power socket, it is impossible to demonstrate its actual performance, but Qin Tao can see it as long as it is placed here.

This thing is definitely a sharp weapon for shoveling the bottom of a boat!

Not only the ship that is about to start construction, their dock will also welcome some ship repair work in the future. After sailing for a few years, barnacles will grow underneath the general ship, which needs to be eradicated in the dock. This kind of tool is simply too suitable.

In fact, this is the electric shovel commonly used for wall shoveling in later generations, but in this era, there is really no such tool. When repairing ships, a large number of workers are hired to shovel barnacles manually with shovels, which is time-consuming and laborious.

These workers in front of them actually thought of modifying electric tools, which made Qin Tao very emotional. What is this called?The wisdom of the working people is endless!
"We also specially purchased a batch of electric grinding wheels for derusting operations, and the speed will be very fast. Although the ship is very large, we are also confident that it will be completely new within three months!" Kozlov continued Said.

They had known for a long time that rust removal would be necessary, so they purchased a large amount of equipment and were just waiting to do a big job. They were looking forward to the scene where the ship would be restored to its original appearance under their own hands.

Qin Tao nodded: "Everyone is doing very well."

This is the advantage of being a hands-off shopkeeper. The subordinates are trained. Once a job comes, the subordinates can think of a way in advance. Of course, this is also because of the system problems of the Mingzhou Group. State-owned enterprises cannot be so flexible. If the husband and the others want to purchase various production tools, they have to be approved layer by layer until the top leader signs it, so that the process can be completed, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Mingzhou has not been so troublesome for a few days. When Kozlov shared his thoughts with Cong Ju, Cong Ju directly wrote a note and asked him to go to the cashier to pay the money.

As for whether the money will be embezzled, for example, if the old man buys wine and drinks, that is another matter. As long as there is a strict inspection mechanism, and after the embezzlement of public funds, we will deal with a few people who will kill chickens and monkeys to make an example. problem.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the east wind!
three days later.

When night fell, Zhao Ling dragged her exhausted body back to the guest house. She had long been used to living in a guest house. Although extravagant enjoyment would make people addicted, this house was comfortable to live in, especially with children, of course it should be more comfortable .

Anyway, the house was vacant, so I moved in. As for the family courtyard, it has been left unused for a long time.

When she opened the door, she saw a strange figure teasing the child, and she frowned immediately.

who?
At this moment, when she heard the door knocking outside, the woman also turned her head and looked towards the door, her eyes met with surprise.

"Vina!"

"Zhao!"

Vitalia actually came over!She hugged Zhao Ling very enthusiastically, and then said excitedly: "He keeps bubbling, which is really interesting. He doesn't cry or make trouble, but he just won't let me hug him. I'm so sad."

"It shouldn't be, Haitao, come and hug me, you must be starving, right?"

As Zhao Ling said, she picked up her son and began to breastfeed. While feeding, she continued to ask, "Why are you here when you are free?"

"That ship will be back tomorrow. Of course I have to come here ahead of time and wait to be greeted." Vitalia said, "This ship means a lot to you, right?"

They are already back, so there is no need to worry so much, Zhao Ling thought for a while, and then smiled: "Actually, I don't know, it's all done by Brother Tao, I'm here, just to help coordinate the construction of the frigate of."

"It's so kind of you, husband and wife, you can do what you are best at, alas, I'm different." Vitalia said with some emotion.

"For so many years, haven't you met a man who is sincere to you?"

Vitalia shook her head: "There are many men in this world, but there are very few good men. There is only one like Qin in the whole world. If his wife is not you, I must snatch him over."

A voice came from outside: "Is this talking about me? I am really honored."

Qin Tao is back.

Tomorrow, the Dongfang Haicheng will be back. Qin Tao has a lot of things to arrange. In particular, a group of superiors can't help but want to come to visit in person, but Qin Tao persuades them to go back. What are you in a hurry?
How many pairs of eyes are still staring at it. Although the ship has returned, there will be no other problems, but your behavior is not good. The Green Green Company is still there. Are you afraid that the Green Green Company will be implicated?
After some explanations from Qin Tao, the superior finally held back and did not come to this ceremony. Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. If you want to come, you can come to see it at any time in the middle of the night.

"Vina, according to our arrangement, next, it's the turn of Chuanglu Company to get out of its shell." Qin Tao and Vitalia said: "Magang has the advantage of Magang, you can go to the blockade to block a few And then lost all the money, the company went out of business and had to sell the boat."

From the beginning to the end, this is just a cover. The meaning of the existence of Chuanglv Company is to buy the ship back. Now that everything is in place, this operation can begin.

Vitalia shook her head: "Qin, this may not be easy."

"It's not easy? Why?"

"Because I'm already the female queen, I'm sure to win every fight." Vitalia said, "We have to think of another way."

Block the king?
Qin Tao was a little surprised. Could it be that Mr. He took care of him on purpose?
This matter is indeed a bit tricky, but it is not imminent, so let's talk about it later.

And so the night passed.

4 month 3 day.

This is a day enough to be recorded in the annals of history. On this day, the Varyag of the Ermao Black Sea Shipyard, a legacy of the imperial era, has finally entered the port of Mingzhou after several months of sea voyage. .

During the Qingming Festival, there was a lot of rain, and the light rain started to fall since last night.

On the dock of the shipyard, countless people gathered.

Qin Tao deliberately wore a brand-new suit and polished leather shoes. In order to avoid being soiled by mud, he also put a plastic bag on the outside. He untied the plastic bag when he arrived at the temporary stand at the dock .

The roof above the stands blocked the rain. Everyone was dry and not exposed to the rain. However, under the rain curtain, the line of sight was greatly hindered. They could not see the approaching ship in the distance, and could only hear The sound of the engine.

Next to Qin Tao was Vitalia in a long dress. She specially dressed up to look noble and elegant, with the temperament of a person in the upper class.

"The Shenzhou has dived, and the Dongfang Sea Blockade is about to leave!"

"All the cables have been untied!"

"The Fortress on the Eastern Sea has floated!"

"Attention, the Shenzhou is starting to break away!"

It was much easier to disengage than to load, and after more than two months of drifting at sea, the combination finally separated.

"The Nikolay Chickel is in position!"

This tugboat, which has been towed all the way, changed its position again and came to the rear of the Dongfang Haicheng, continuing to act as a brake. Other small-horsepower tugboats will push the Dongfang Haidu into the dock. When you need to brake, rely on it to provide braking force.

Very slow.

In the drizzle, everyone finally saw the shadow of the huge monster getting closer.

Big, really big!
Although everyone has seen an oil tanker with hundreds of thousands of tons, the oil tanker has a big belly and nothing else. The ship in front of me is different. Its body is wider, and the island on the side is even taller. It looks so spectacular, just like a towering mountain.

Its height definitely surpasses the tallest building nearby: Mingzhou Group Guest House!
Calls came from the radio from time to time, and the tugboats worked together to push the huge body into the dock little by little.

The 40-ton dock is very spacious, giving the tugboat more room to maneuver. The first two ships directly drive into the dock, push the bow from both sides, and adjust their posture little by little.

Finally, the huge hull entered the dock, and the Nikola Chickel began to pull in reverse, stopping the movement of the hull.

"Attention, the dock is closed, start pumping water!"

In the drizzle, the big guy in the dock stood tall.
