Mingzhou Steel Plant can already produce 500 MPa-level steel plates, but the products are still unstable and vary in quality, but no matter how bad they are, there are always 400 MPa steel plates.
Made of these high-strength steel plates, the ship is stronger and the risk of breakage and sinking is eliminated.
Other shipyards dare not use this kind of steel plate because this kind of steel plate is too expensive. Qin Tao costs 60 million US dollars for a ship, which is not high at all. However, their group produces and sells it by itself, so the cost is very cheap.
These ships can, at least, bring a profit of 100 million to the entire group.
"Mr. Qin, are the design flaws real?" Yang Dawei continued to ask.
"Who knows." Qin Tao said irresponsibly, "Anyway, the ship sank."
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 problem caused the shipwreck of this kind of ship. However, after partial strengthening, the problem was solved.
Qin Tao has strengthened everything and used the best steel, so the quality of the product is of course high quality. As for the increased cost, all the costs will be paid by the shipowner.
Start by deceiving the other party with design issues, offer a sky-high design fee that 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 can start producing high-strength steel in large quantities. After building the steel for the two cargo ships, the technology of the steel plant should be stabilized. It is said to be 400 MPa, which also uses
A large amount of 500 MPa steel, this can be regarded as a surprise for the other party.
In Yang Dawei's heart, there were waves of emotion. Mr. Qin is so awesome. In this way, he can achieve multiple things with one stone.
Cong Ju also followed from behind and said to Qin Tao: "Mr. Qin, if the other party signs the contract, we may not have room for them to produce for the time being!"
The slipway and dock are all occupied. The 400,000-ton dock is still under construction. They want to build a 150,000-ton cargo ship. Where will it be built?
Qin Tao smiled: "Of course it will be built at our 400,000-ton shipyard!"
"But the construction period over there is not over yet!"
"We first build the sections one by one outside the dock. After the dock is built, we use a gantry crane to lift the sections into the dock and then weld them directly!"
Although the dock is not ready yet, a thousand-ton gantry crane has been erected outside the dock. The cargo ship can be welded into sections of one thousand tons, and then the gantry crane can complete the transfer work in sequence!
This is the advantage of a thousand-ton gantry crane, which can greatly improve operational efficiency, just like Lao Maozi builds an aircraft carrier.
After 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. You can find an open space at the end of the dock or on the side of the dock and weld the sections first. How could I not think of such a good idea?
Cong Ju lamented the gap between herself and Mr. Qin. I guess Mr. Qin had already thought of this method when arranging the gantry crane, right?
"These foreigners have to think about it for a few days. We don't have to worry." Qin Tao said, "Wait for them to come to us. I will leave for the capital tonight."
"Well, there's no rush." Cong Ju said, "Anyway, we can't finish the work at hand now, so there's no need to rush them."
These foreigners must be left alone for a few days to make them anxious, so that we can take the initiative. Cong Ju is constantly learning Qin Tao's negotiation skills, and has mastered more and more methods.
Qin Tao nodded: "Sister Cong Ju, you are almost ready to start training."
Cong Ju smiled and said nothing. With his ability to deceive people, the gap between himself and Mr. Qin was still quite big!
That night, a Mercedes-Benz G departed from Mingzhou and went straight to the capital. (I don’t know how the highway construction was at that time. It should not have been connected to the highway network. Is it more convenient for the protagonist to take a train?)
Thanks to the comfort of the car, Qin Tao and Zhao Ling took a nap in the back seat. When they woke up, they stretched out in the spacious back seat. Then Qin Tao said: "It's a pity that it's not an RV yet. The back seat
It can’t be laid flat, otherwise it will be more comfortable if it is laid flat.”
"RV?"
"Yes, it is a car that is like a house and is the best companion for traveling. However, it will be very convenient for our group to develop and get a plane in the future."
In this era when private cars are not yet popular, Qin Tao actually started to think about private jets. Zhao Ling smiled: "Yeah, then I'm looking forward to it."
The car drove into the Princess Tomb Ash Building. The small courtyard was already very lively. When Qin Tao got off the car, he saw familiar figures inside and couldn't help but feel a little funny: "Everyone, you are all here to welcome me."
Does it belong to 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. It was the first year for the new son-in-law, so it was very grand. However, no matter how grand it was, it should be a family matter.
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 also people in Chinese tunic suits, such as Mr. Wu and others. What is going on when these people come?
"We came here to check in, but we didn't expect to catch up with your new son-in-law coming back home. By the way, there's no need for my younger siblings to be busy. I've already sent people to the hotel outside to book two tables of food and drinks." Mr. Lin said: "
Now that we have met, we will have fun together, and by the way, I also brought Maotai."
Zhao Xiu'e frowned at the side. Of course she couldn't cook meals for so many people. However, even if she ordered food from outside, there were not so many tables and chairs at home!
Of course Mr. Lin had already thought carefully about it. When his orderlies brought the dishes back, the tables and chairs in the hotel were also brought over. Anyway, Wu Shengli's house was big enough, and there were two tables in the living room.
Still no problem.
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In fact, in this case, it is more convenient to go to the hotel to eat directly, but in this era, we are still more particular about eating out and eating at home.
That's completely different.
"Come, the new son-in-law, you have to sit next to the father-in-law." Mr. Lin greeted him as if he was the owner of this place.
When everyone sat down, Qin Tao was speechless when he saw Mr. Lin pouring himself wine. Our father-in-law was just a bystander. What's going on?
"Mr. Lin, what's the matter with you? As long as I can help, I will definitely help." Qin Tao said to Mr. Lin.
These people obviously have a purpose.
"It's okay. Let's drink first and then talk after we finish." Mr. 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 Damao, and they will execute the contract. Now, they have to provide for us. Damao’s huge military industry is now supported by our orders!"
Now that Qin Tao has brought it up, Mr. Lin no longer conceals it. He nodded: "Yes, you are right. We are not worried about the supply of these fighters. What we are considering is the next one."
The problem of batching fighter planes.”
"Currently, our domestic self-developed third-generation aircraft still have no chance of success. The Air Force can no longer wait. We need more modern third-generation aircraft, so we need more Su-27s!"
Qin Tao suddenly understood. He was planning to continue buying, and then let himself, a second-rate dealer, 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, we will not be able to meet our needs. We need to introduce technology and build it in our own country."
This kind of fighter plane is produced in the factory."
Hearing what Qin Tao said, Mr. Lin suddenly became interested: "Yes, Mr. Qin, you are right! This is 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 and poured wine for Mr. Lin. While pouring, he said: "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 in this matter."
"Why?"
"The Red Empire has only collapsed for a month. Now, their country is full of expectations. They hope to become a Western world, and they hope they can live a life like the West." Qin Tao said: "Now go find Lao Maozi.
, if we ask for a hug, people will just look down at us and then charge a sky-high price."
Qin Tao's request for a hug was so vivid that everyone present couldn't help laughing. Mr. Lin couldn't wait to drink Moutai into his mouth to moisten his throat, and then asked Qin Tao: "When will it happen?"
suitable?"
"After a year and a half, Lao Maozi's dream was shattered, and they found that the life they lived was not as good as that of the previous Red Empire era." Qin Tao said: "By that time, Lao Maozi's military industry enterprises also embarked on a path of decline.
There is no way out. In order to survive, we have to accept our proposal and export the Su-27 production technology to us, so that we can assemble the Su-27 fighters at home."
"One and a half years, so fast?" Everyone present was shocked.
Qin Tao smiled: "This is my personal speculation, let's wait and see. Come, drink!"
Qin Tao just made a bold reasoning and judgment. The people present were shocked, but after the shock, they should have thought that Qin Tao had a broad vision and saw the problem to the point. Qin Tao's predictions were not missed.
,For example, he successfully predicted the collapse of the Red Empire!
In the eyes of these people, he has become a magic stick, right? Qin Tao is secretly happy in his heart, he is a time traveler, of course he knows these things clearly.
However, the prophets in history did not end well. The magicians were usually tied to the pillars and burned to death. You can just say something bold at the wine table occasionally. On other occasions, be careful with your words and deeds.
Wu Shengli looked at his son-in-law with emotion, and then said: "Taozi, is it a bit chaotic at Lao Maozi's place now? Can you get us scrap metal like Su-27?"
Qin Tao said firmly: "Of course it's impossible."
I’m not omnipotent. How could I buy a good thing like the Su-27 as scrap metal? Every one is valuable! If I really tricked the old man into getting it for me, it would be a serious diplomatic incident.
ah.
"If it's scrap metal like the MiG-21, there are as many as you want. It's not a problem for me to get a few hundred of them. But forget it about the Su-27!" Qin Tao shook his head helplessly.
Wu Shengli's eyes clearly showed disappointment.
The Air Force needs modern fighters, and so does the Navy!
However, the state'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 currently relies on eight
I am holding on, I am too backward.
"However, it would be no problem to get one or two prototypes, especially the T-10 prototype in the Nitka base in Ermao. 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 a 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 aircraft aviation!
In the era of propeller aircraft, due to the slow speed, operating on an aircraft carrier was no different from operating on land. However, it is different in the jet era. The speed of aircraft is fast and the deck of the aircraft carrier is small. Every landing is an aerial acrobatic performance.
, a little carelessness may destroy the machine and kill people.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for a novice to directly use aircraft carriers for training. There must be a land-based simulation base for training. Lao Maozi's fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft has just begun to develop, so of course there must be such a base.
The Nitka base is a specialized carrier-based aviation training base located in Ermao. It has a simulated deck of the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, which can train pilots to take off and land, and there are also catapults under development, etc.
Waiting for equipment.
As a result, after the separation, Da Mao was very miserable. For a long time, the Kuznetsov was alone because there was no way to train carrier-based aircraft pilots!
There are also a number of prototypes of carrier-based aircraft in this base. On the one hand, pilots are trained, and on the other hand, Lao Maozi's carrier-based aircraft need to be continuously improved through experimental feedback.
The U.S. Navy is wealthy and specializes in the development of carrier-based aircraft. The now famous Tomcat fighter jets and Hornet fighter attack aircraft are both developed specifically for the Navy.
Other countries do not have this capability, including Lao Maozi. Their carrier-based aircraft are all improved from land-based fighter jets. Anyway, the relationship between Lao Maozi's navy and aviation is not that tense.
A long time ago, Lao Maozi planned to convert the MiG-23 into a carrier-based aircraft. When the conditions were met, their third-generation aircraft such as the MiG-29 and Su-27 had matured, so Lao Maozi simply converted the MiG-23 into a carrier-based aircraft.
These fighters were converted into carrier-based aircraft. After some comparisons, the Su-27 modification plan was chosen.
In 1982, one year after the production version of the Su-27 made its first flight in April 1981, the Sukhoi Design Bureau began to use their T-10-3 prototype (the Su-27 was codenamed T-10 in the development stage, which later
The -3 (which means the third prototype) was tested at the Nitka base for takeoff and arrested landing from the ground ski jump deck.
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 body is limited, and it also crashed in a subsequent test flight. Therefore, Suho
The Iraqi Design Bureau produced several more prototypes. For example, the T-10-25 prototype began testing in August 1984. In 1986, the T-10-24 equipped with canards also began testing.
With the experience accumulated in these experiments, in the summer of 1987, the first prototype of the Su-27K, T-10K-1, was completed, without folding wings. Half a year later, the second prototype T-10K-2
It was also built and adopted folding wings. Later, two more were built, the T-10K-4 prototype, which was also a two-seat training aircraft.
The technology of these aircraft has matured, and takeoff and landing training has begun on the Admiral Kuznetsov, which was still undergoing trials. It was just that the Kuznetsov was still called Tbilisi at the time. After a series of test flights, the Su-27K was officially adopted.
Named Su-33.
Qin Tao knows all this history very well. Although it is not clear what types of prototypes are there at Ermao, there must be some. These prototypes are of little use to Ermao. After several years
The flight test has brought the life of the machine body to the limit, and it cannot be equipped to their navy. Therefore, these junks can be sold, and, taking advantage of the current chaos, perhaps they can continue to use Qin Tao's second-hand dealer
The spirit was bought with the price of scrap metal.
The meaning of Qin Tao's words couldn't be more obvious.
He has long said that the navy must have aircraft carriers, so the navy must also have carrier-based aircraft. What kind of carrier-based aircraft can meet the needs of the navy?
The current domestic Qiye and Baye are definitely not good, nor is the No. 10 project being studied by the 611 Institute. The experience gained by the U.S. Navy is that it is best for naval fighters to have dual engines. The single engine of the No. 10 project cannot meet the demand. Moreover,
What's even more terrible is that Project 10 uses a belly air intake method. The front landing gear cannot be connected to the main stress-bearing structure of the aircraft, and it cannot 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 example of Lao Maozi and aim at the Su-27!
Qin Tao just said that we need to introduce technology to produce it ourselves. When the technology is introduced, not only the Air Force will have it, but the Navy will also have it. Moreover, the Navy can also convert this kind of aircraft into a carrier-based aircraft. As long as we have this
It’s easy to install a modified prototype!
When he thought of this, Wu Shengli was already breathing rapidly: "Taozi, when can you get those prototypes back?"
Qin Tao smiled: "Dad, you are in a hurry and can't eat hot tofu, so why are you in a hurry?"
Don't worry, wait a minute, those prototypes will be blown into scrap metal by the sun and wind. When the time comes, Qin Tao will go over and buy them, won't it be easy?
Wu Shengli nodded: "Yes, no rush, no rush."
It's useless for him to be anxious. This matter has to be queued behind the Air Force. It won't 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 timing. When the opportunity comes, he will naturally get it.
After saying this, Qin Tao looked at Mr. Wu again.
"Mr. Wu, do you have anything to say?"
Qin Tao and Mr. Wu are old friends. They once went to Lao Maozi's place together and talked about everything. Therefore, Mr. Wu was not too polite. He said to Qin Tao: "Mr. Qin, I heard that you were at Huating's place."
On the other hand, encourage them to further improve and increase the range after developing the basic model of the Hongqi-16, so as to steal our jobs?"
Looking at Mr. Wu's face, Qin Tao knew that he was joking, so Qin Tao also joked: "Of course, it saves some people from being passive and sabotaging their work."
Mr. Wu shook his head helplessly: "This is not the same 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 the old and better than the old. If it is just imitation, then we have already done it now.
Related products have been created!”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So far, Qin Tao cannot be told about the Hongqi Nine Project, but some peripheral things can already be said. After all, if nothing else happens, God will be in the future.
The shield battleship must have been built by Qin Tao.
"Then you have to work hard." Qin Tao said: "Otherwise, not only will your job be taken away by the Hongqi-16, but also your job may be taken away by the imported S-300. The Red Empire is gone, and Lao Maozi will be in arms exports.
They will be bolder and may even export the advanced models they are developing, which will put a lot of pressure on you."
"Advanced model under development?"
"It's the PMU2 version." Qin Tao said: "This version has more outstanding interception capabilities. For example, it can also intercept ballistic missiles. By the way, the Air Force's S-300V can also intercept, but the two are different. The former can be optimized
Flying ballistics, destroying ballistic missiles flying from the opposite direction at a distance of two hundred kilometers."
Mr. 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 by taking different trajectories. For example, if it is launched vertically, it leaves the dense atmosphere and then turns around. Due to the small air resistance, it can fly
Even further away.
However, a ballistic missile flying two hundred kilometers away is still very outrageous.
He came here just to join in the fun. But he didn't expect that he actually came here to torture him. He was so saddened by Qin Tao's words!
"In the past, we always believed 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. A certain country will also seek its own absolute security. Therefore, they will also try to intercept intercontinental ballistic missiles and develop their own national anti-missile system.
