Chapter 461 The real modification plan of the cruiser
The night in St. Petersburg is beautiful.
Standing in front of the window, Qin Tao admired the beautiful night, and Zheng Ming's voice came from behind.
"Mr. Qin, will Damao agree to our request?"
"It should be possible. After all, they want to repair the Moskva now, but they are short of money. We have provided the best plan, and they will only refuse it unless their brains are filled with water."
Mao's biggest concern was leaking secrets, but with our side purchasing the Honor-class No. 4 ship, this worry is no longer necessary. Even if we do surveying and mapping, we can restore the entire warship's drawings, but it will take more time.
longer.
In this case, what worries does Damao have? Those drawings are no longer useful to them! Within ten years, they will not be able to start building a new cruiser. After ten years, with the development of technology, the original
The design drawings are also out of date.
"What if Mao Mao wants to build the same type of warship in the future?" Zheng Ming asked.
Qin Tao smiled: "Impossible, they will never be able to build the same type of warship."
Never possible?
Zheng Ming's eyes widened in surprise. Mr. Qin's words were too absolute, weren't they?
Qin Tao smiled: "If they want to build a large warship, they must have an engine. The ship's gas turbine is at Ermao's side, and Da Mao's side either burns boilers or installs nuclear reactors. These are quite expensive. Da Mao doesn't have the strength. Wait until
In the future, if Da Mao wants to build large warships, he may have to buy our gas turbines or directly ask us to help build them."
Zheng Ming was thinking about Qin Tao's words. The content it described was too shocking.
If you want to make a big hair, you have to ask for help from your own side? I can’t imagine that picture.
"Of course, we also have to make a plan. Tomorrow, we will visit someone."
Visiting someone?
Zheng Ming asked curiously: "Who?"
"Chief designer of the Type 1164 destroyer, Mutisin."
Zheng Ming's eyes lit up.
The Type 1164 cruiser is considered a difficult monster for Lao Maozi. It has been designed since 1972. First, it was personally led by the experienced Director Perkov, and then Mutisin served as the chief designer.
The design took several years, and the construction was even more complicated. It actually took six years for the first Glory to reach service status, which was almost the same as the construction period of a heavy-duty aircraft carrier cruiser.
A few years ago, Mutisin had retired and had been staying at home. Like many people of this era, retirement at home was not a leisurely life. Due to the country's economic downturn, their pensions were often in arrears.
I wonder if people like Mutisin make a living by selling medals.
"Mr. Qin, we have found out that after Mutisin retired, he drove a taxi." Xu Zhengyang came over and said to Qin Tao.
"Being a taxi driver? This is a good opportunity." Qin Tao said: "When we go out tomorrow, can we get his taxi?"
Xu Zhengyang hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "There will be no problem if we make arrangements."
The early morning sun shines on the streets of St. Petersburg. The countless spire buildings cast long shadows and look full of ancient atmosphere. This place has existed as the capital of Maoism for a long time, so,
Although the current situation is turbulent, it is still very prosperous here.
Taxis are driving on the streets of the city. If the city is compared to a giant, the streets are its blood vessels. These taxis are like the blood cells in the blood vessels responsible for transporting substances.
"Taxi, taxi!" Seeing someone waving, Mutisin skillfully turned on the turn signal and stopped on the side of the road.
Several oriental faces got into his taxi.
"Master, go to the Northern Design Bureau."
Hearing the familiar name, Mutisin's mind moved, but he still didn't say much. After all, he had nothing to do with there anymore, and life there was not easy. How could he have the nerve to go up to ask for wages, and still pay for himself?
You can move and make money to support yourself.
These people ignored him and started talking to themselves after coming up.
In order for Mutisin to understand, of course they spoke in Russian. This was the only loophole. However, how could Mutisin consider this? When these people said the first sentence, he was shocked.
arrive.
"The Type 1164 destroyer must undergo major changes. All the superstructures will be cut off and only one hull will be retained. Will this be more convenient?"
"That's not good, it's such a waste!"
"If it's not broken, it's not built up. We just cut off the upper layer, and it's convenient for them to transport it back and install it on the Moskva. Anyway, that's the hull we want."
"I don't know if it is rigid enough. If we cut off the upper deck together, will the lower hull be deformed?"
"It won't deform." When he heard this, Mutisin couldn't bear it anymore and started talking.
"Why?"
"Because the hull standard of this cruiser is designed according to the climate conditions of the Atlantic Ocean. As long as the hull is set up at the keel, it can be dismantled or modified in any way."
"How did you know?"
"Because I'm the designer of this cruiser."
"What? Are you a designer? I heard that the designer of this warship is Mr. Mutisin. He is the most powerful surface ship designer in Damao. How could he come to drive it for rent?"
Hearing this, Mutisin felt very uncomfortable.
"Yeah, how can I come here to drive a taxi?"
"Be careful!" the passenger shouted, and Mutisin quickly stepped on the brakes to avoid rear-end collision with the car in front that had stopped waiting for the traffic light.
"Are you really Mr. Mutisin? Driving a taxi here is simply a waste of talent." The person in the car began to introduce himself: "I am Qin from the Oriental Mingzhou Group. Are you willing to continue working on the design of warships?
?I can offer you a high enough salary."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Mingzhou Group?
Of course Mutisin has heard of it. The Mingzhou Group is quite famous in the circle. This group has done a lot of business with Damao. Everything from the Kilo class to the modern class has the shadow of their Mingzhou Group.
That Varyag a few months ago.
Thinking of this, Mutisin was extremely excited, but soon he calmed down.
"I'm old, what else can I do?"
"No, at your age, you are still in your golden stage. You have rich design experience. If you have ideas, you can go to us in the East. Now, we have purchased the fourth ship of the Glorious class and need to carry out renovations on this warship.
Improve. We need your help."
"Type 1164 cruiser? Have you already bought Ermao's warship?" At first, he heard it in confusion, but now he finally understands a little bit.
"Yes, now, the warship has left the Tuji Strait and sailed to the Mediterranean." Qin Tao said: "There are many things on it that we don't need. It will inevitably be improved. We need you like this
Designer.”
"We believe that under your hands, this warship will be given a new life, and it will have more powerful combat capabilities than the prototype. Your hands, instead of driving a taxi, should be holding a drawing pen."
The car stopped silently on the side of the road.
Mutisin's body was trembling slightly. He didn't know whether he was laughing or crying. His eyes began to turn red and his voice was trembling.
"Do you really think this bad old man like me is still useful?"
"Of course, if you go to our east, you may be able to see many old friends."
"Okay, I'm willing to go." Mutisin said: "I haven't touched a drawing board for a long time, and I miss that feeling."
"In this case, you may have to get used to it for a while. Everything here is computer graphics."
On the road to St. Petersburg, Qin Tao deceived Mutisin. This operation was so smooth that Zheng Ming was extremely emotional.
With the designers of this Glory-class warship, they can carry out modifications even without design drawings.
As for the design drawings, there aren’t many problems.
Another day passed, and when the three-day period mentioned by Qin Tao was on its last day, Shishkin had already returned.
"Mr. Qin, Moscow has agreed. However, we also have a request."
"any request?"
"We ask to send a person to follow you." Shishkin said: "We need to immediately count the equipment you have dismantled and put it in a special warehouse. After everything is dismantled, we will use the boat to
Transport it back."
This is because they are afraid that Qin Tao and the others will not give the things they dismantled to Da Mao!
Qin Tao smiled: "Of course, no problem. Who do you plan to send there? This person should be an experienced designer."
Shishkin nodded: "Yes, this person must be an experienced person and know all the equipment above."
Shishkin was worried about this choice.
"Who is the chief designer of this warship? Can't we invite him over?"
"The chief designer has retired."
"It's easier to retire and just hire them back as temporary workers."
Shishkin nodded: "Okay, I heard that Mr. Mutisin's life after retirement is not good. This can also give him an extra salary. I just don't know if Mr. Mutisin is willing to go to the East."
"Mr. Mutisin? He is very famous! Let's go invite him!"
Qin Tao immediately patted his chest: "Even if our Mingzhou Group gives him an extra salary, we must invite him!"
In this way, Mutisin received two salaries and had a completely reasonable excuse to go to the East. Of course, he never came back. What came back were only the disassembled parts. There were so many parts that he almost didn't use them.
By purchasing new parts, the Moscow can be repaired, so Da Mao can't hold anything accountable. It's going to rain and the mother is getting married. Mutisin fell in love with Dongfang and wanted to stay in Dongfang. That's
his freedom.
After the matter was settled, the Mingzhou Group's An-225 transport plane flew over and loaded all the information on the plane. Together with Qin Tao and others, they took the plane directly back to the East.
In Huating, Qin Tao once again received a warm welcome.
"Mr. Qin takes action, one can stand up to the other two."
"What's the difference between two people, it can hold up half the sky."
"That's right. When we bought the Four Diamonds back then, if we had Mr. Qin, we would definitely be able to get them much cheaper."
The praises from everyone were beyond words.
"Everyone, please let me take a rest first, and then I will formally report tomorrow, okay?" Qin Tao said to everyone.
The guys originally had a lot of questions waiting to be asked, but when they saw Qin Tao's expression, they knew they couldn't ask any more questions.
No one else can ask, but there is one person that Qin Tao cannot refuse.
On the way home, Wu Shengli said: "We didn't plan to buy it back originally. Who would have thought that we actually bought it back? This is really unintentional."
Qin Tao nodded: "We just happened to meet a pig opponent. If they didn't send the seal team over, we wouldn't be able to succeed."
The most important thing is that the SEAL team bombed the cruiser in the past, which completely aroused Er Mao's disgust, otherwise things would never have gone so smoothly.
Wu Shengli nodded: "Yes, this is God's blessing. By the way, this warship is back. How do you plan to change it?"
"Didn't you say we'd talk about it tomorrow?"
"You kid, don't be so pretentious. It's fine in the car anyway. Let's talk about it."
"The idea of an arsenal ship is to deceive the West. We must not build it into an arsenal ship with only missiles and data links. Even if it is to carry more missiles, it must be like the Kirov class."
Many people also classify the Kirov-class as an arsenal ship. This kind of warship with a full load displacement of more than 25,000 tons has 500 anti-aircraft, anti-submarine, anti-ship and other types of missiles. It is called an arsenal ship, and it is worthy of its name, especially
Yes, many missiles are launched vertically.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, it also has an advanced electronic system and can fight as a single warship. This capability is absolutely not available in the concept of arsenal ship proposed by Qin Tao.
Until now, Qin Tao still has an unreal feeling that he actually bought this warship.
Wu Shengli was still waiting for Qin Tao to continue talking. Who would have thought that his son-in-law had already changed the subject: "Which fleet is this warship planned to be assigned to? Do you have the hull number and ship name?"
"All three fleets want it." Wu Shengli said: "The fleet in the north said that they want to protect the capital, but the two 051Cs are not capable enough. The fleet in the east said that they already have two modern-class ships, which are just right with this Glorious class.
Matched together, they are all made by Lao Maozi, which is convenient for logistics and supply. The fleet in the south is crying. So far, they do not have a decent warship. Although the 054 is good, it is only a frigate after all. They want a warship with a larger displacement.
.”
Everyone likes the good thing, but after all, there is only one, so all three fleets want it, which really gives the leaders a headache.
"Since you want them all, let's draw lots." Qin Tao said.
Draw lots?
Wu Shengli was speechless. Isn't this method too childish?
At this moment, the car stopped and we were already home!
Therefore, Wu Shengli still didn't ask anything, so he slept an aggrieved night. The next day, in the conference room of Huating Naval Base, the meeting on the cruiser's modification plan officially began.
"First of all, let us welcome Mr. Mutisin with warm applause. He is the chief designer of the Type 1164 cruiser and is very familiar with this type of warship. Therefore, he will be the chief engineer for this warship transformation.
"
Since Mutisin did not understand Chinese, he specially arranged a translator beside him. At this time, after hearing the translated words, Mutisin was full of surprise: "No, no, I just came here.
I am not familiar with the situation, and I cannot take on this mission. We can be the technical consultant for modification, but we must not be the chief engineer!"
After all, Mutisin had just arrived and was entrusted with an important task. This kind of treatment made him very satisfied. He had the feeling that a person would die for his confidant. However, he also knew that his qualifications were not enough and he could never be the general manager.
division.
"Mr. Mutisin, don't worry. Since we have made such an appointment, we can rest assured about you. When you set foot on our land, we are already a family." Qin Tao said.
Mutisin was so moved that he almost cried. This is how a scholar dies for his confidant! But at the same time, he also knew in his heart that he was a newcomer and could never take on this important task.
So, Mutisin refused three times, and Qin Tao could only regret: "Well, in that case, then you will be our technical advisor, and Yang Dawei will be the chief engineer."
Yang Dawei also came from Mingzhou yesterday to attend this meeting. Although he did not have detailed information at hand, after confirming the purchase a few days ago, Yang Dawei collected all the information he could find and started research in advance. Moreover, this kind of thing
It was Qin Tao who came up with the general framework, so he didn't have to put in too much psychological pressure.
At this time, after hearing Qin Tao's words, Yang Dawei nodded: "Well, please rest assured, leaders, we will definitely live up to our trust and complete this design task."
"Well, first, our Mingzhou Group's First Design Office will give you a brief introduction. During the introduction process, if you encounter any problems, Mr. Mutisin is welcome to interrupt his speech at any time, and then propose better improvement plans.
." Qin Tao said.
The naval leaders present all nodded, and Mutisin also nodded: "Then I'm welcome."
"First of all, since what our navy lacks most is air defense capabilities, on this warship, we must strengthen the air defense capabilities. Wherever we can make changes, we will mainly add air defense missiles." Yang Dawei introduced: "We have already
After careful study, the air search radar of the Glorious-class cruiser is the same as that of the Kirov-class. However, in terms of the most important regional air defense capability, only one top-cover fire control radar is installed. Therefore, its multi-target interception capability
, only half of the Kirov class, seriously lacking omnidirectional interception capabilities, especially within the 60-degree range of the bow, which is a blind spot."
"During the Red Empire period, this was not a problem, because according to the original plan, 21 Type 1164 cruisers were to be built." Mutisin immediately added: "Although there is only one top-cover radar, in actual combat,
, if several formations fight together, this problem will be easily solved. Of course, if there is only one ship, it is indeed a problem."
This top-cover fire control radar is used to guide the most important S-300 missile on the warship. The Kirov-class has one at the front and rear without any obstruction. It can completely take care of the omnidirectional field of vision, but the Glorious class cannot.
"The simplest way is to install another top-cover fire control radar of the same type on the front end of the bridge of this warship. However, this kind of radar has a huge size and weight, and it is not easy to install. Moreover, it may not be possible to install it from the front.
The related companies in Da Mao have placed orders." Yang Dawei continued to introduce.
It is true to say that Lao Maozi's warships are full of violent aesthetics. The Glory class embodies this, with anti-ship missiles placed obliquely on both sides, a huge orange-petal radar antenna on the top, and a helicopter hangar at the back.
The huge fire control radar at the top.
This thing is like an ice cream cone with an ice cream ball added to it, but it is released horizontally. The spherical radar radome is four meters in diameter. You can imagine how huge it is.
Qin Tao suddenly frowned. He had already sensed that Yang Dawei's ideas might be more radical than his own.
"This is a 10,000-ton cruiser. We must give this cruiser the strongest combat capability." Yang Dawei said: "So, we simply dismantle the S-300 missiles on it and use our own Red Flag Nine!
Install a four-sided phased array radar on the bridge, so that the warship can directly have omnidirectional air defense capabilities!"
Sure enough, 052C has too many designs. This is poisoning, Qin Tao sighed in his heart.
Recently, the main work of the Mingzhou Group's No. 1 Design Office is to design the 052C destroyer, waiting for the Navy's bid. This is a warship with a four-sided phased array radar and has the best regional air defense capabilities.
Of course Yang Dawei and others will transplant the design of this destroyer.
"Four-sided phased array radar? Do you have such technology?" The most shocked person at this time was obviously Mutisin.
"Yes, our related technologies are gradually developing and maturing. Now, we have designed our own area air defense destroyer based on this technology. Now, we hope that this system can be used on cruisers."
Under Mutisin's surprised eyes, Yang Dawei opened the PPT.
Is this a glorious level?
From front to back, there is almost no trace of the Glorious Class!
Almost all of the upper deck has been cleared, and it has even been tilted inward to a certain extent. The helicopter platform at the tail has been flattened, and the entire warship looks like a brand new ship.
The bridge is also transplanted from the 052C bridge. The four-sided phased array radar looks really exciting!
"Let's take a look at the overhead view first." Yang Dawei said: "We plan to remove all the second deck at the front of the bridge. The space here can be stuffed with eight eight-unit launchers, so that it can be combined with the space behind it.
In conjunction, the entire warship has 128 long-range area air defense missiles. It gives it the most powerful area air defense capability..."
There are 128 long-range anti-aircraft missiles alone! This design immediately shocked everyone present.
"No, the lower two decks at that location also serve as reinforcing ribs, so the deck below cannot be hollowed out." Mutisin suddenly spoke, and this sentence poured cold water on everyone.
