Great warships

Chapter 183 Surprise or surprise?
"Leaders, our 051C destroyer has completed all designs."

Twenty days later, Qin Tao came to the Yellow Tower with a full set of design drawings to report to the naval leaders.

This project is already a sure thing, and coming here is just a routine report. After the leaders agree, the construction can be officially started.

"In terms of appearance design, it is not much different from my original design drawings. We will use the design scheme of double deck, forecastle, auxiliary mast, and hangar. Of course, there is no hangar at present, so we will transform it It becomes the space for the vertical missile launching device." Qin Tao took out the detailed design drawing and introduced it to everyone.

"The entire superstructure is properly adducted, so as to reflect the radar waves into the sky. However, it is not completely adducted. After all, there is no need to pay attention to perfect invisibility." Qin Tao said eloquently Jue: "The displacement of the entire warship has been determined to be 7100 tons. This warship will also become the largest warship in our navy when it enters service."

The Type 051 is only over 3000 tons, and the Type 052 is only over 4000 tons. The current Type 051C has a displacement of [-] tons and is definitely the largest destroyer in the Navy.

"The whole warship is arranged around the anti-aircraft missile system. After all, once the missile is inserted to the end, it will be so long. Even if we want to reduce the displacement, there is no way. In terms of speed, we think it can still reach [-] knots. .”

A famous leader was listening to Qin Tao's report carefully. It took two hours for Qin Tao to finish reporting the project. When he sat down to drink water, he found that all the leaders were staring at him intently. The second mast of his warship.

The mast is slanted up for the sake of stealth. On the top of the sub-mast, there are two slanted back-to-back flat-panel radars, which are Lao Maozi's representative top-plate radars.

"Mr. Qin, we don't have this kind of radar at hand. Isn't it a bit too bold for you to design it?"

Finally, a leader spoke.

"Leaders, since we can import the S-300 system, of course we can also import this kind of radar equipment. Its performance is good, and it will definitely become the main sea search radar of our navy in the future." Qin Tao said: "And , It will take a while for our design drawings to be approved, and it will take a while for the navy to build it. Maybe, by the time we start construction, this radar will have already been bought."

"Now, you all designed it casually without any information?"

"Of course not. Although we haven't got the detailed information, we have studied it many times on the international public information, so we are sure that we will never make any omissions."

What could go wrong with this thing?Qin Tao is familiar with the performance of these weapon systems, and after installing them, there will never be any problems such as electromagnetic compatibility.

"Did you use international public information to design after research?"

"Yes."

Qin Tao can't say, everything is in his head, right?

"Boss Qin, we still have a task that we want to entrust to you." A leader said.

Qin Tao puffed out his chest: "I promise to complete the task."

"You should also know that we just negotiated with Siam about the export intention of F-25T a few months ago." A leader said: "We have defeated competitors from several other countries, which is very impressive. It's easy, and now we have entered the design stage of warships, but the US side has begun to make things difficult for us, not providing us with any weapon parameters, making it difficult for us to make any progress in the design."

Siam is a country located in the south of China. It has always had a good relationship with its own side. It is a traditional exporter of weapons from the motherland. However, in a market economy, it also depends on competition.

The fact that the motherland was able to obtain arms orders from Siam is not only a traditional friendship, but also a price that is much lower than that of other countries. After all, Siam is not a rich country.

However, after all, Siam still expects the weapons ordered from China to have excellent performance. Therefore, Siam wants to purchase Chinese warships, but also wants to install a large number of Western weapons on this warship.

This will cause a problem: the West will never send these weapons to China and install them on Siamese warships.

Such a project involving the interests of the three parties has evolved into a unique model: China is responsible for building the hull, and after passing the test, it will be driven back to Siam to install the US weapon system, and finally the final assembly will be completed in Siam.

This not only prevents China from contacting Western weapons, but also enables Siamese warships to obtain Western weapons and equipment.

However, the hull made in China must reserve space, right?Even the size of the reserved space is not given by the West, so it is difficult to carry out the design work.

Now, all the leaders have seen hope from Qin Tao: the warship designed by Qin Tao reserved Lao Maozi's weapon system, so, can he complete the warship design with reserved Western weapon system?
Hearing that it was this task, Qin Tao smiled: "Of course this is no problem, but we need a design fee of 500 million."

Qin Tao agreed with confidence, satisfying the leaders present. However, when Qin Tao opened his mouth like a lion, all the leaders showed embarrassing expressions. You want too much, right?Just for the design, it costs 500 million?Even if our Ship Design Institute is now operating in a market-oriented manner, the 051B designed for Zhongjiang Shipyard is only 100 million!

"If I heard correctly, it seems that the total value of this contract with Siam has exceeded 500 million, and it is still in US dollars." Qin Tao said: "Now, I am stuck on the relevant design. Don't you want to make a deal? A design fee of [-] million? Is the saying that knowledge is wealth an empty phrase?"

These leaders are still too conservative. They only consider the interests of the relevant shipyards, not the Mingzhou Shipyard. Do they think that the Mingzhou Shipyard should provide free services?

Of course Qin Tao had to argue hard.

"If the relevant shipyard is unwilling to pay the money, then we can directly talk to Siam, not only the design, but even the construction can be carried out in our shipyard." Qin Tao said.

Qin Tao's words caused the leaders present to have complex expressions on their faces. This Qin Tao is definitely going to draw the bottom of his salary.

"I think Mr. Qin is right. They were developed in a market economy, so we can't look at them with the previous thinking. Since we want them to help with the design, we have to pay the relevant design fee." Wu Shengli said: "500 million, in our eyes, seems like a huge sum of money, but knowledge is wealth. In this era, we must pay attention to the power of knowledge. Compared with the entire order, 500 million is not too expensive. Of course We can pass on President Qin's request to Huazhong Shipyard and give them the final choice."

This arms sale has nothing to do with the navy. The navy is just helping out. The Huazhong Shipyard, which is also located in Huating, has actually negotiated the intention. Now, whether they want to pay 500 million to buy the design depends on them.

So, in the afternoon of that day, Qin Tao met Zhang Qiang, the representative of Huazhong Shipyard.

He just came to the capital to ask for help. The United States did not give the weapon parameters, and they had no other choice but to ask the Navy to find a way.

Now, upon hearing that the asking price is 500 million, Zhang Qiang's expression turned a little ugly. This is like eating meat in their mouths.

However, he also knows that Qin Tao is very capable. He just designed a warship using Lao Maozi's weapon system without relevant professional information. At this time, he is also full of expectations. Maybe Qin Tao can really help them solved the problem.

"In terms of anti-ship missiles, the other party requires the use of Harpoons. This launcher is similar to ours. It can be placed behind the bridge at an angle. It can be used to fit the needles. The tail is directly facing the ship's side, and the exhaust flame can be discharged directly into the sea. "Qin Tao said: "However, the other party requested to use the sea-facing radar of the Dutch Telecom Company. For convenience, this radar can be hung directly on the top of the bridge."

Zhang Qiang's eyes widened. As soon as Qin Tao said it, it was the most professional question, and it was also the difficulty they had encountered so far.

Siam has no money, so the displacement of this frigate cannot exceed 4000 tons. However, they still want to load everything they can, and they also need advanced weapons from various countries. This is a worry for them. Even the displacement The 052 destroyer with more than [-] tons is not so loaded.

How do you get those things in there?This is a big problem.

"In terms of air defense missiles, Siam requires the use of Sea Sparrow air defense missiles. We need to reserve space for the MK41 launch system to facilitate their future modification."

In many materials, it is said that the F-25T frigate of Siam uses the MK41 vertical launcher. As long as you think about it, you can know that this is completely nonsense.

The Aegis system of the Yankees was widely used in the 80s. At the beginning, the dual-arm launcher was used, and the MK41 vertical launcher was replaced in the later period. When it entered the 90s, it was only used by the Yankees themselves, and it had never been exported. , Even the loyal lackeys of the United States are not qualified, let alone the Siamese country, which is out of reach.

It is impossible for this kind of F-90T frigate in service in the 25s to use the tall MK41. In 2011, when these frigates were undergoing mid-term life extension modification, they were installed.

Since it can be installed, it means that there must be a reserved space. This reserved space will make Siam very satisfied.

But how to reserve?How much space do you need?How to discharge the exhaust gas?These must be arranged in advance.

Others do not know, only Qin Tao has experience.

Therefore, when Qin Tao said this, Zhang Qiang's original dissatisfaction had completely disappeared, and he looked at Qin Tao expectantly: "Qin Gong, we are willing to hand over the design of the warship to you. The fee is 500 million yuan , we gritted our teeth and got out!"

"U.S. dollars." Qin Tao said lightly.

Zhang Qiang only felt a bang in his head, what did you say?Dollar?Are you too dark?
Looking at the other party's ugly face, Qin Tao knew that he could only accept it as soon as he saw it.

"Haha, I'm joking with you, are you surprised or not?"

Zhang Qiang's face still lacked any color, surprise, surprise?I almost had a heart attack, you know that?
However, Qin Tao is a capable person after all, and he can't protest with Qin Tao. He clutches his chest and takes deep breaths.

"However, we don't accept a deposit, we want the full amount." Qin Tao said.

Of course he knew that in the 90s in China, the market competition was already very fierce, and each unit used its own magic power for its own development.As for the final payment, it is often lost.

They will have various reasons. Therefore, when dealing with Qin Tao for the first time, he must reserve a hand. If he wants us to design, he must pay the full amount.

Zhang Qiang's expression turned ugly again: "Then what if the design drawing is not suitable and needs to be revised?"

"We will directly connect with the Siamese Navy and try our best to satisfy them. If they are not satisfied, we will change it until they are satisfied." Qin Tao said: "However, we must pay the full amount, which is the prerequisite for our cooperation."

"Boss Qin, you don't trust us."

"As the old saying goes, business is business, and friendship is friendship. Even if we are brothers, we are still brothers, and we will settle accounts."

"That…"

"We still have some ideas about the design of the hull. We can make the hull fuller and increase the space. Anyway, the power system used is strong enough." Qin Tao continued.

what?You bring these ideas of mine to the Ship Design Institute, and ask them to design a drawing of 100 million yuan?They don't know how to design the most advanced products, I still have to do it, I still have a lot of ideas in my mind!
Although the hull of this frigate is designed to be within 2500 tons, the power system used is the famous LM4000, which is at the same level as the 052 with more than [-] tons. The power is powerful, and it can completely make the hull wider. In the case of the same displacement, the internal space is improved and the seaworthiness is good.

"Okay, Mr. Qin, I will report to the shipyard as soon as possible, and then go to Mingzhou to find you." Zhang Qiang said.

Qin Tao nodded: "Then I'll go back and let them start. Maybe by the time you go over, we've almost finished the design."

After completing the design of 051C, the design department of Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group has no more tasks for the time being. Now, receiving extra money, 500 million, is enough to make those designers excited. When the task is completed, everyone will send them a big letter. Red envelope.

If you want a state-owned enterprise, how dare you spend so much money, without the stimulation of money, and blindly encourage them with spirit?This is of course not possible. In the 90s, we must have spiritual thinking, not to mention material rewards!

　PS: After some consideration, I decided to replace three chapters with [-] words per chapter with two chapters with [-] words per chapter, which is still [-] words. It should be more enjoyable this way.Originally, the third change of [-] words was an addition, but now, let’s work harder, and it’s not appropriate to add an update. Normally, it’s [-] words per day, and we’ll stick to it for a month.If there are special circumstances, more will be added.
