To be fair, the aircraft carrier that went out to show off its muscles was not produced by the Mingzhou Group. However, from a technical point of view, it was more complicated than the Mingzhou Group itself. This was a transformation of a scrapped aircraft carrier, and it was also
Can take off and land heavy fighter jets.
Looking around the world, only Mingzhou Group can do it. No other shipyard dares to boast of this kind of Haikou! Transforming a thing that was burned into scrap metal into an aircraft carrier? It is impossible when you think about it.
Therefore, Mingzhou Group has become famous, and their shipbuilding strength has been recognized all over the world!
Now, the navy of the football country has come here.
The scale of this inspection group is quite large. It is led by the navy leader of the football country, Sagastres. Irges, who hosted Qin Tao last time, is also among them.
At Huating International Airport, Qin Tao personally led a team to greet him, along with Leader Zhao from the Mingzhou Naval Base.
The military band was playing welcoming songs, and the airport pick-up scene was very lively.
"Welcome everyone." Qin Tao stretched out his hand: "We meet again. Let me introduce to you. This is Leader Zhao of our navy who has made a special trip to welcome you."
Leader Zhao also reached out to hold the other person's hand and said with great enthusiasm: "Welcome to the East. We all belong to the third world. We also hope to strengthen ties and cooperate more in the future."
The arrival of football nation is of great significance.
Now, the fact that the other party can come to the East to inspect and even purchase warships produced by the East will definitely put some people's hearts at ease.
"We are honored." Sagastres said: "We have noticed that the ancient East is gradually glowing with vitality. This is a country full of vitality!"
After the reception, the group transferred to the Navy's Zhiba, flew directly to the Mingzhou Naval Base, and landed on the aircraft carrier moored at the pier.
"This warship is really spectacular!" After getting off the helicopter and seeing the wide flight deck, Sagastres immediately sighed with emotion: "Especially, it uses a jump deck to fly directly from the ship.
The first ski jump took off, I read your news several times."
Sagastres came here because of its reputation, and the majestic appearance of this warship completely conquered his heart.
"Actually, ski-jump takeoff is just a helpless choice. The design of this warship is like this, and we can no longer change it." Qin Tao introduced: "Actually, in terms of launch efficiency, the catapult is more suitable. Of course,
Everything has pros and cons, and if there is a problem with the catapult, the plane may not be able to take off."
"Yes, in that naval battle more than ten years ago, the aircraft carrier of the Crying Country once discovered the British aircraft carrier formation. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, the carrier-based aircraft could not take off. If they had used a ski jump to take off at that time, it was very likely that the naval battle would
It was rewritten.”
Speaking of this, Sagastres was also very emotional. After all, they had watched the entire naval battle, and they were very sad about the outcome of the naval battle.
"Everyone, look here, our landing area. There are special arresting ropes here. You should also see that our heavy-duty J-15 fighters can land successfully. As for the light carrier-based aircraft you are currently operating, it is even more...
There is no problem." Qin Tao continued to lie. The other party has not even purchased the blocking rope. This time he saw his own style, so he should feel free to use the blocking rope, right?
"There isn't a plane up there?" Irges asked.
"Yes, before returning to the port, all the carrier-based aircraft above were released in advance and arrived at the land base." Leader Zhao introduced: "Moreover, this aircraft carrier is actually still a semi-finished product, and we still have a lot of work to do.
, especially on the ship island, the relevant equipment has not been installed yet, and it is very messy inside, making it impossible for you to visit."
Leader Zhao had been vaccinated in advance. If you want to visit the deck, there is no problem, but you should not go to other places.
Where else?
The ship island is the most critical. As for the hangar below, you can go and take a look if you want. Anyway, it is empty and there is nothing.
Facts have proved that these people were really interested. After looking at the deck, of course they were still not satisfied, so they went to take a look below. In the end, they actually entered the engine room on the lower level.
"To drive this huge warship, we need strong power. We have installed eight pressurized boilers in it, which can drive this warship to a speed of thirty knots. If you want a 30,000-ton ship
A class aircraft carrier only needs four such boilers."
I said it during the introduction, but at that time I could only say it verbally, but now it is different. Now that I have a physical object, I can clearly see that the power system is complete.
For an aircraft carrier, what is important? The construction steel, power system, and various electronic equipment.
The Mingzhou Group now has no steel. It has already built an aircraft carrier for Siam. The power system is right in front of us. As for the electronic system, it is easy. Even if it disdains Eastern equipment, it can still import it from the West.
Purchasing.
However, considering the systematic nature, the Eastern package is more suitable.
"Did you produce this kind of boiler yourself?" Sagastres asked.
"Of course, it was an empty shell when it was originally purchased. If it had a power system, we would have driven it back directly. Why would we need to drag it back?" Qin Tao said, "Also, look at the mark on it.
Authentic made in china!”
In this way, after seeing it, the visitors from the football country were very satisfied with this aircraft carrier.
When night fell, Qin Tao took these guests and stayed at the Mingzhou Group Guest House. These people were very satisfied with the splendid guest house.
"Before coming here, our impression was that the East was poor and backward. After coming here, we realized that the East has already developed. In terms of prosperity, it is no worse than the big cities in the West."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Of course, thank you for your compliments. At seven o'clock in the evening, we will host a banquet for you in the banquet hall below."
Soon, the banquet hall became lively, and everyone was drinking and chatting.
"Your sudden dispatch of a huge aircraft carrier formation this time caused a sensation all over the world. Everyone said that the sleeping lion in the East has finally awakened!"
"Thank you. We were forced into a hurry this time and had no choice but to use our swords. Take our aircraft carrier as an example. There are still many projects that have not been completed. Fortunately, there is no problem in attacking." Qin Tao said: "But
, the other warships have no problem and can attack at any time."
"President Qin, before the aircraft carrier formation is dispatched, you have a ballistic missile that can hit moving targets on the sea. Do you have any plans to export this weapon?"
The aircraft carrier is not shocking. The most enviable thing is the ballistic missile. It is absolutely shocking. Everyone is exclaiming that the aircraft carrier, a big killer, is already a living coffin on the sea. The aircraft carrier is even useless.
There is a market again!
Even the football country was shocked. This is why they came here. I wonder if they can purchase such weapons?
"Everyone should know that there is an unwritten international rule that the range of exported ballistic missiles cannot exceed three hundred kilometers. Our weapons with a range of two to three thousand kilometers are not within the scope of export." Qin Tao said.
He rejected the other party's request.
It’s not that we don’t want to sell, it’s that we must abide by international conventions!
"Yes, we can't break these rules." Leader Zhao, who was attending the banquet together, also spoke, so the other party had no choice but to give up.
The banquet ended at eleven o'clock in the evening. The next day, Qin Tao took these guests to visit the Mingzhou Shipyard.
"This is a 400,000-ton shipyard. The original Oriental Sea Blocking City was refitted here." Qin Tao introduced: "What is being built now is the new luxury blocking ship of Chuang Green Company. It was originally built because of
It was sabotaged by some people, the original blocked ship was destroyed, and the Green Venture Company gave up, so we had to find a way to repair the ship."
"Mr. Qin, I heard that Green Innovation Company has a relationship with your Mingzhou Group?" Sagastrese asked.
Qin Tao nodded without denying it at all: "Of course, I have a very good relationship with the person in charge of the Green Innovation Company, who is now the famous female block queen in Ma Gang. We met when I went to Moscow to do business.
Otherwise, there would be no need to devote a lot of effort to help when purchasing the Oriental Sea Blocking City."
There is no need to deny this kind of thing, otherwise it will insult the intelligence of these people. On the contrary, saying it so openly can make the other party feel that Qin Tao is more honest.
Sure enough, after Qin Tao finished speaking, the other party nodded: "Mr. Qin, you are so kind to your friends."
"Yes, we make a clear distinction between friends and enemies. We should treat our enemies as cold as winter, and treat our friends as hot as summer."
"Mr. Qin, can we go see the J-31A tomorrow?" Irges asked.
"Of course, if you decide to purchase an aircraft carrier, then the J-31A is the best choice." Qin Tao agreed immediately: "Tomorrow we will go see the J-31A."
It has entered April, and the temperature in the Land of Abundance is the most comfortable.
Qin Tao arrived with a large group of people and was shocked by the latest news.
The first carrier-based model has begun assembly at Factory 132!
This speed is unbelievable!
The entire J-31A project department is only responsible for design. The production of the aircraft must of course be placed in the supporting 132 factory. Even the J-10 prototype is assembled in the 132 factory, and through the assembly of the J-10 fighter, they have mastered modern fighter aircraft.
Assembling technology, so the next assembly of the J-31A is a matter of course.
Zhao Dangsheng was still responsible for the reception.
After years of training, Zhao Dangsheng has grown into an excellent all-round talent, capable of both technical skills and eloquence, and can be received effortlessly.
"Everyone, Factory 132 is a highly confidential military factory, so please don't walk around casually. We will go directly to the J-31A production station to take a look." Zhao Dangsheng said: "If you are a few minutes later,
If the moon comes over, you can see the plane taxiing and even its first flight."
"Why did you trial-produce the carrier-based version first?" asked Sagastres.
"When we were doing research and development, we wanted one machine and three models." Zhao Dangsheng introduced: "After some careful research, we decided to base the carrier-based model on it. After all, on the basis of the carrier-based model, simplify
The landing gear and wing folding mechanism can then become a normal land-based type. The simplified weight can improve performance and increase fuel reserves. It has reserved enough space until our lift fans and other components are developed.
After success, it can be easily converted into a vertical take-off and landing fighter jet."
"Are there no technical reserves for vertical take-off and landing aircraft?" Irges asked.
"Of course not. We have made great technological breakthroughs and are currently in the bench testing stage. If you are interested, I can take you to see it after the visit. After all, we cannot install immature equipment.
On the prototype, our test flight was very rigorous." Qin Tao said with confidence.
Last year, lift fan technology achieved a breakthrough, and then we started testing it. These technologies will gradually mature.
"Not bad." Sagastrese nodded, and then began to look at the prototype being assembled.
The appearance is very special and angular, reflecting the characteristics of a stealth aircraft, but it is much smoother than an aircraft like the F-117. It compromises on stealth and maneuverability. The entire aircraft looks full of modernity.
a feeling of.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What is the opening in its belly?" asked Sagastres.
"Of course it's the internal bomb bay." Qin Tao introduced: "For a stealth fighter, it must use a built-in bomb bay to reduce the probability of being discovered by the enemy. The size of our aircraft is not very large, but it
The built-in bomb bay is definitely sufficient.”
When it comes to built-in bomb bays, the F-22 is the smallest, but they are connected. The F-35 has bomb bays on both sides. It is said to be to accommodate lift fans. As a result, the Navy has been criticized for a long time and wants to use some advanced ammunition.
It cannot be carried because it is too large!
Now this J-31A has been modified during the design to make the built-in bomb bay a large bomb bay. It can not only discharge air-to-air missiles, but also stuff large bombs into it, making it easy to carry out attack missions.
Take good care of yourself.
Of course, the size is still limited. When you want to carry anti-ship missiles such as the YJ-12, you can only mount it on an external pylon, losing your stealth capabilities.
This is also a limitation of the stealth machine. After all, the body only has such a large space.
But now, when it comes to the internal bomb bay, it is definitely a high-end thing. Everyone is full of praise for this internal bomb bay.
People in the football country also looked at it very carefully. For them, if they could purchase a batch of this tall aircraft and equip it on their own aircraft carriers, their combat effectiveness would be absolutely unparalleled!
Dominate the entire South America without any problems.
This is a high-end stealth machine!
However, these things all cost money!
Although they ran over to take a look, they were still empty-handed.
The assembly of the aircraft is based on fixed workstations. An iron frame is set up around the aircraft, and many workers are busy on it.
Looking at the assembly scene, Sagastres finally spoke: "We are very much looking forward to obtaining an aircraft carrier and supporting carrier-based aircraft, but these require huge expenditures."
"Didn't I propose that iron ore be exchanged for aircraft carriers?" Qin Tao asked Sagastres: "Iron ore can be exchanged for aircraft carriers or carrier-based aircraft. We only need to sign for a few more years.
That’s it for the contract.”
Sagastres had a wry smile on his face: "Our domestic companies refused us to do this, and the higher-ups gave us a compromise plan."
"Please speak." Qin Tao said.
This kind of thing should be discussed slowly in the conference room, but because Sagastrese was very embarrassed at this time and wanted to avoid the embarrassment of being rejected in a formal occasion, he decided to just do it here.
said.
“There are still many mineral resources that have not been developed in our country. For example, in the states of Pará, Piauí and Tocantins, there are at least three mines available for exploitation. These three mines total nearly
There are 10 billion tons of iron ore reserves, but they are still idle." Sagastres said: "At present, the solution given to us is that your Mingzhou Group will choose one of the mines to mine, and all expenses will be paid.
It’s all up to you.”
The football country has a large amount of minerals and Vale, the world's largest company, but their economy is still only at a third-rate level. There are many reasons for this.
For example, their energy is still limited, and they do not have the ability to develop domestic mineral resources!
The existing iron ore can be mined to make money. Of course Vale will not share the meat with Mingzhou Group, but what if it is a mine that no one mines?
Qin Tao frowned.
The football people present also stopped talking.
Originally, the conditions that Qin Tao proposed to the other party were to give him five million tons of iron ore every year, which would be delivered directly at the port. At most, he would only have to pay the transportation cost. After five years, he would deliver an aircraft carrier to the Chinese people, and he would not have to worry about the other party's expense.
You just defaulted on your debt, now what? The other party actually asked Mingzhou Group to invest in mining.
The risk involved is greatly increased.
You know, those iron ores close to transportation lines have long been mined. Although the mines in the three states mentioned by the other party are rich in reserves, they are inconvenient to mine.
If you want to mine, you must first build a road. Building a road in a mountainous area requires a huge investment. Once it is repaired, it must be transported!
Also, who knows what the situation is like locally?
If you encounter some car gangsters or road hogs, the operating costs will increase.
"Mr. Qin, what are you worried about?" Irges asked.
What are you worried about? Do you even need to ask? Of course, you are worried about the risks of investment!
Qin Tao organized his language and then said: "Our Mingzhou Group has never been involved in mining. We are completely blank in this area! We don't know how to mine the mines and how to transport them after mining."
This is just telling lies. Lao Maozi’s nickel mine in the Far East was mined by Qin Tao and Nikola. Now Mingzhou Group’s Yinwa Steel almost all relies on the nickel mine there. However, Lao Maozi
After all, Mao Zi has old acquaintances over there, so there is no need to worry about being hacked. Anyone who dares to try to take advantage of their mine will definitely be killed by Nikolai.
It's different in football country.
"If you have no experience, you can cooperate with our company Vale. You provide funds and Vale provides technology and experience."
Qin Taohehehe, is there such a thing? Isn’t this a white wolf with empty hands?
Seeing Qin Tao's noncommittal, Irges knew that Qin Tao must be unwilling in his heart. He was thinking rapidly, and then he thought of something: "Mr. Qin, how about our navy providing help?"
"You? What help can you provide?" Qin Tao glanced at Irges.
"We help with transportation." Irges said: "For example, if a mine is to be opened in Pará state, then we need a road through the rainforest. We are willing to help build a road from the mine to Belém, so that
The minerals can be transported to the port of Belém and then loaded onto ships from the port.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The capital of the state of Pará is located in Belém, which is also the largest city in the northwest of the football country. This city is not on the seaside, but is located from the Atlantic Ocean
The west bank is about 120 kilometers upstream from the mouth of the Amazon River. Although it is a river, because the football country is economically backward, it does not have the ability to build barrages, bridges, etc. Therefore, ordinary freighters can go upstream along the river and finally reach Belém.
In this way, the transportation problem is solved!
Qin Tao was secretly happy. This solved a big problem for him. However, he still couldn't smile. He frowned and continued: "Even so, we still have to invest a huge amount of money. If we only mine five
If it’s one million tons, it’s simply not enough cost.”
"It's like this. If you are willing to mine, then you can mine 10 million tons per year, and we can contract it to you for ten years. The deal for the first five years is for aircraft carriers, and the deal for the next five years is for supporting carrier-based aircraft.
, Ten years later, the ownership of the mine can be discussed again. If you are willing to mine, you can continue to sign the contract. If you are not willing, then we will take it back."
Ten million tons per year for ten years, that’s 100 million tons! This much iron ore cannot be used by the Mingzhou Steel Plant. However, no one thinks that they have too much ore on hand and cannot use it, so they can pile it up first.
In the next ten or twenty years, there will be no need to worry about iron ore.
For the football country, this is definitely a waste of money. The mine is there and they have no ability to mine it. With the help of the Mingzhou Group to complete the mining, the most they can do is help with transportation. Then they can obtain the aircraft carrier and shipboard
Machine is on.
Absolutely worth it!
"We need to go to the site for an inspection." Qin Tao said: "Then, we need to discuss some details, such as whether to open a dedicated cargo yard for us at the port, or give us an area in your military port. We also
You can hire some local people, increase employment in your country, etc.”
"Of course, Mr. Qin, come back with us!" Sagastres was overjoyed.
