Chapter 295 Red Flag-16 Test Firing

Chapter 295 Red Flag-16 Test Firing
The heavy trucks of the later generations, in order to maximize the benefits, have to bring the goods over when delivering the vehicles. Even a model with four fronts and eight rears with a core load of 100 to [-] tons will be loaded with more than [-] tons of steel coils. Most of them are Auman, so they won the title of Steel Coil Man.

Now this medical ship that is going to dismantle scrap iron, for the sake of this trip is worth it, of course it has to load some cargo!Since it was departing from Lao Maozi's Far East port, of course it was loading a batch of timber.

Before departure from the port, the old Maozi, a few crew members, said that there was a special cargo in it while they were drinking, and the opponents could get this shocking secret by combining some information they had overheard.

So they hit it off, and they ended up miserable.

The whole incident was reduced to a joke, and they lost 1000 million in vain. For Lao Maozi's Pacific Fleet, they are proud!

"Qin, your plan is really great!" Nicholas's face was full of smiles. It was definitely the happiest thing to be able to play tricks on the other side in this way. Needless to say, their Pacific Fleet, the entire Lao Maozi's navy felt extremely relieved.

After letting out a sigh of relief, they also received a funding of 1000 million US dollars, which made them even more happy.

Qin Tao also had a smile on his face.

Mingxiu plank road and Chen Cang secretly, just when everyone noticed the medical ship, another cargo ship had already loaded a large amount of goods and set foot on the road to Anxi. Those things can be delivered directly to Anxi In the hands of the Chinese, it will bring Qin Tao a large sum of profits.

This action was so beautiful that even Qin Tao was complacent, thinking that this time he did the most beautiful thing when he came to this world.

At this time, the two were walking on the road of the base, and Qin Tao looked at the row of rusty Jacques-38.
"These scrap irons are useless to you, right?"

Nicholas nodded: "Yeah, we don't need these scrap iron anymore, Qin, if you want it, you can give it to you at any price."

"Assorted parts, ground crew, and flight personnel, if I need them, I will pack them up and take them away." Qin Tao said to Nicholas: "Those Yak-38 pilots are still in the army, right?"

Although he was talking about scrap iron, Qin Tao no longer had to hide his purpose. If he bought all these planes back, of course it would be for operational use.

The Siamese aircraft carrier is almost finished. For the Siamese, the choice of aircraft will gradually become more urgent. It is also very good to use the Yak-31 first to have fun before the J-38 is built. s Choice.

"Well, Moscow is currently discussing the reduction of the army. The pilots and ground crew of the Yak-38 are also within the scope of the reduction. If they can continue to do their old jobs, it should be a good choice."

As the commander, Nicholas also attached great importance to these people under his command. If possible, he also hoped that all these people could stay in the army.However, reality will hit them hard.

The Yak-141 project has been terminated. The pilots who originally flew the Yak-38, as well as the ground support, have no need to continue to exist. It will cost more money to let them continue to fly other fighters. Moreover, other China's fighter force is currently being cut down, so going to China should be the best destination for these people.

Even if this matter is temporarily negotiated, as for the real action, it depends on the needs of Siam, otherwise, the fake rags will become real rags, and dismantling the ship is okay, but dismantling the plane?Qin Tao is not professional.

"The matter of the mine will be completed soon." Nicholas said: "When the procedures are completed, I will take you to see our nickel mine."

Qin Tao nodded: "Well, Nicholas, you are really my best friend. By the way, if it is not convenient for you, you can find a family member and set up a mineral export company under name, so that we can operate conveniently."

Nikolai nodded, and just as he was about to continue to say something, he saw Zaitsev running over with a nervous expression on his face.

"Your Excellency Nikolai, Your Excellency Nikolai, something has happened!"

"What happened?"

"The Novorossiysk suddenly caught fire on the way back!"

what?
Nicholas' face changed: "What did the people from the Northern Fleet do?"

Last time, the Minsk they had decommissioned had their boilers scrapped in this way, so now, upon hearing this information, Nikolai subconsciously thought it was someone from the Northern Fleet.

But after thinking about it for a while, I knew it was impossible. This was not in the port, but on a mission. Even if the people of the Northern Fleet wanted to make trouble, they couldn't make trouble at this time.

Moreover, this is still an active warship!
"The current situation is unknown."

"Qin, I'm sorry, I have to deal with it." Nicholas left in a hurry.

Qin Tao was extremely emotional.

This should be the last time that the Novorossiysk went to sea. This time the fire broke out, no matter how big or small, this warship needs to be repaired, but how can the old man have the money to repair it!Therefore, we can only sell scrap iron!
Since he already has the Kyiv at hand, Qin Tao has no feeling for the Novorossiysk. However, if this warship falls into the hands of the Kimchi Chinese, then the other party will dismantle the boiler on it and install it. On board the Minsk.

So... We must kill Dazhou Company as soon as possible!

Keep bidding?That's impossible, what if someone set up a trick?Qin Tao didn't want to buy a pile of scrap iron at a high price. He never did business that lost money.

In this incident, the Novorossiysk flaunted its power, fully demonstrating the strength of this heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser, and showing that the Lao Maozi Navy is still a skinny camel bigger than a horse. However, on the way back, when the billowing black smoke When it emerges from below the deck, it seems to be showing the sunset of the empire.

The Sirossiysk is on fire!The fire is not small!

Countless reporters picked up the leak, took pictures of this scene, and then began to publicize it.

Dazhou company.

"Da Mao's Novorossiysk suddenly caught fire. From the looks of it, it is still very serious. However, the fire started in the front, so the boiler at the back must be fine!" Pu Douxuan excitedly said to Li Jinshan.

"Yes, their warship is on fire, what does this have to do with us?" Li Jinshan asked Pu Douxuan.

"We can take a picture of this warship, so that we have a boiler!"

"However, we have already placed an order with Lao Maozi through the Mingzhou Group. It doesn't matter to us whether these boilers are in good condition."

"We can return it!"

"Return? How is it possible? When we signed the contract, the terms were clear. Mr. Qin also said that the money was given to Lao Maozi to order raw materials and pay workers. Therefore, we have no way to get it back. Come on a dime!"

"But, isn't there a patent infringement now?" Pu Douxuan said: "The technical patent we introduced from Mingzhou Group is currently being claimed by the Norwegians. They should be responsible for this matter!"

Li Jinshan nodded. This is a way. Recently, they were disturbed by the Norwegian incident. The court has accepted the case and will soon officially start the trial stage.

If you make a fuss about this matter, maybe you can get some losses back from Mingzhou Group?

"I called recently, and they kept saying that Mr. Qin is not here, so we happened to go over to see if Mr. Qin is really not here." Pu Douxuan continued.

Li Jinshan nodded, his eyes looked at the photo again, it was obtained through the military, the photo was very clear, looking at the burning warship, Li Jinshan's heart became hot again, maybe, he could really Get that warship back at a low price, even cheaper than the Kyiv bought by Mingzhou Group!

At the beginning of April, Qin Tao finally returned from Lao Maozi's place. The time he went out this time was really not short. It was like spending a honeymoon at Lao Maozi's place.

The capital city is already in full bloom in spring, full of colors and colors.

"Taozi, you can really hold your breath. You have sent everyone to the Anxi Kingdom, and you can still sit on the Diaoyutai, and even travel around." In the small courtyard of Huilou, Wu Shengli sat on the tree. Next, pick up the teacup, drink tea, and talk to Qin Tao at the same time.

"What can I do? I am just like this." Qin Tao said, "Old Maozi is my second hometown."

The old man made fun of him, of course he also made a joke, anyway, everyone knows it well.

"You planned that operation?"

"Yes, Dad, you have also seen that if you want to protect the sea transportation routes, you must have a strong navy." Qin Tao said: "Think about the Tuapus in the 50s, and look at the current The Wardra River, comparing the two incidents, we should know that a powerful navy is the strong backing of maritime transportation."

"Yes." Wu Shengli said with emotion: "Our country's economy continues to develop, and maritime trade is becoming more and more frequent. Therefore, the navy needs advanced warships and a large number of warships to protect our sea transportation lines. However, this It takes time, you can’t become fat with just one bite!”

Qin Tao nodded: "So, let's run in small steps. By the way, how is the sea test of Hongqi-16 going?"

"All the equipment has been installed, and various debugging work has been carried out. It is estimated that there will be a sea trial recently, right?"

Qin Tao's eyes lit up: "Dad, can I go up and have a look?"

If you are just an ordinary shipyard director, you don't have this qualification at all. After all, Hongqi-16 is the most important project of the Navy, but as the person who promoted the entire project, how can the Navy neglect it?

"Of course." Wu Shengli said.

"where is it?"

"It's in our Bohai Sea."

This is even easier!

"Get me a helicopter!"

"you sure?"

Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, I'm sure. I'll pay for the gas! I don't need to bother you until my helicopters come back."

In the end, when he got to the sea, Qin Tao suddenly understood: the father-in-law cheated his son-in-law!
The ship that was refitted as a test ship was an old-fashioned Type 6601 frigate. The "Riga" class frigate assembled by our country with the technology and materials provided by this old man was very small, and there was no place for a helicopter take-off and landing platform.

Either he jumped into the water and was picked up by the people on the frigate, or he had to climb down the rope ladder!

Faster is the rope drop, but that thing, without special training, is easy to fall to death.

Fortunately, the wind and waves were not too big. Qin Tao climbed the soft rope ladder, got off the helicopter, and jumped directly on the open space on the front deck.

What an unforgettable trip!

Qin Tao waved at the helicopter to let it go, and then looked forward.

An old acquaintance?
"President Qin, on behalf of the officers, soldiers and technicians of the entire ship, I welcome you to board No. 508." Captain Zhang Zhen saluted Qin Tao.

Pang Jianmin was also beside him, and he stretched out his hand with a smile: "Boss Qin, we meet again."

"Why is this your warship?" Qin Tao was curious.

At the beginning, the first time he drove the submarine back from Lao Maozi, he met the escort of No. 508. Now, when he saw this warship again, it was actually changed into this look?

On the mast of the bridge, the flat-panel radar antenna was hung, and the others were removed. The upstream-1 anti-ship missile launcher behind the chimney was also gone, and a set of Hongqi 16 vertical launchers were replaced. The entire warship has undergone a complete makeover!
"Yes, our No. 508 has been in service since 58. It has been more than 30 years. At the end of last year, the Navy decided to decommission this warship. At that time, there was a need to test a new type of anti-aircraft missile. Therefore, this warship should be transformed into a special Hongqi-16 test platform, and the warship will be officially scrapped after the test is over."

"It's a pity that this meritorious warship is scrapped. It would be fine if there was a naval museum to keep it. By the way, how about you?"

According to the general arrangement, after the warship is scrapped, new warships will enter service, which can ensure sufficient combat effectiveness, and the soldiers who originally operated the old ships will also switch to operate the new ships.

The navy is a technical arm, and there are many veterans. These veterans have served in the navy for decades and are highly skilled.People like Zhang Zhen are veterans among them.

"We... haven't made any arrangements yet." Zhang Zhen said, "Originally, the superiors planned to send us to receive the 051C destroyer, but, for some reason, the mission was terminated again."

Now, the 051C destroyer is under intensive construction, and everyone's eyes are also on these two warships.

This is the largest warship in the Navy at present!Moreover, it is specially used for air defense, so it is definitely a sought-after item in the eyes of naval officers and soldiers.

There are too many monks, and I don’t know how many people are staring at the positions of the captains of these two Type 051C destroyers. Moreover, after these two warships are built, they will be assigned to the northern fleet. Zhang Zhen and the others belong to the eastern fleet.Therefore, this precious opportunity was snatched by others.

Qin Tao patted Zhang Zhen on the shoulder: "Captain Zhang, don't worry. In the future, when our economy develops and the army has money, destroyers will be launched one by one. The navy will need a large number of qualified commanders. There are many, many opportunities!"

The captain also has other positions, all of which are one carrot and one hole. There are only so many warships and only those positions. It is very difficult to be promoted. In fact, there are a large number of excellent commanders in the navy, who have been able to do so for a long time. As the captain of the destroyer, but because there are no such positions, he can only stay in the position of the frigate.

However, this situation will soon be alleviated.

"By the way, Mr. Qin, I heard that after the Hongqi-16 test launch is successful, the Navy will use this missile as a weapon system to invite bids for a brand new frigate. Your Mingzhou Group has also proposed a frigate with a displacement of nearly [-] tons. Plan?" Pang Jianmin asked from the side.

"Yes, in the future, you will definitely receive this kind of warship." Qin Tao said: "Our Mingzhou Group is confident in building this advanced warship for the navy!"

"It's almost noon at this time, so I'll ask the kitchen to make something delicious." Pang Jianmin said.

At this time, everyone was talking, walked into the bridge, and climbed to the closed compass bridge at the top. You could see a lot of equipment and people inside.

Among these people, Qin Tao saw Zhao Ling at a glance. At this moment, she was sitting in front of a testing device, looking at the data displayed on the screen.

"The S-band antenna on our 382 radar has found the Z-250 helicopter 16 kilometers away, and its performance is really good." Zhao Ling said: "The C-band radar on it is also [-] kilometers away. Once the target is found, it can be accurately captured at a distance of [-] kilometers, so our Hongqi-[-] missile can develop to a range of [-] kilometers!"

The 382 radar is the roof radar of the back-to-back Lao Maozi. The performance of this radar is quite good. When the 14 was surveying and mapping, it was improved to make its performance better.

The current test is not only testing the Hongqi-16, but also testing the 382 radar. Even in the past few days, the focus of their testing is the 382 radar.

Of course, there is no difference, because the Hongqi-16 is guided by the 382 radar.

This back-to-back radar has two antennas. The large one is in the S-band, which is mainly used for air alert and has a long search distance. The small side is in the C-band, which can accurately lock the target, giving Hongqi-16 The missile system provides raw data to facilitate the work of the target illumination radar.

"Yeah, after this period of testing, all the conditions have matured, everything is ready, and the only thing left is Dongfeng!"

"Dongfeng will be here soon." A voice sounded from behind: "The Haiying No. [-] target missile is ready, and the test order may be issued at any time."

Hearing this familiar voice, Zhao Ling turned her head in surprise, and saw Qin Tao's sunny and handsome face.

"How did you come?"

"I heard that the shooting test is about to happen, so I came here with the cheek." Qin Tao said: "Everyone, please be busy, don't delay everyone's work because of my arrival."

When everyone saw Qin Tao, they had mixed feelings in their hearts. After all, this project was promoted by Qin Tao. Now, the test shooting was about to take place, and it was about to be finalized. Seeing Qin Tao was like seeing the invigilator.

At this moment, a voice came from the radio: "The east wind calls for the west wind, and the east wind calls for the west wind. We are about to set sail and arrive at the predetermined sea area in half an hour. Please note that after half an hour, the interception experiment will begin!"

At this moment, the atmosphere inside the bridge became tense again.

"Attention, check all the systems again, and there must be no problems!" Zhao Ling shouted.

Didn't see the gray-haired old man, the young Zhao Ling, has been appointed as the chief person in charge of the Hongqi-16 test launch!

Now, although she is happy because of her husband's arrival, she still puts work first.

Bang!
At this moment, suddenly, a voice sounded, the voice was not loud, but the equipment in front of everyone stopped working.

"No, the brakes are off!"

Zhang Zhen immediately shouted: "Quick, electromechanical soldier, quickly troubleshoot!"

The Type 01 frigate used two boilers as the power system. Although the horsepower was high, it was very backward. Therefore, in the Type 65 frigate, two medium-speed diesel engines were used instead.

Although the main engine of the Type 01 frigate is a steam turbine, in addition to being used for propulsion by the two propellers, it will also drive a generator to supply power to the entire ship. After all, this frigate has radar, sonar, and light bulbs in the cabin. power hungry.

After decades of use, the power generation device of this warship is naturally aging. At the beginning, it was said that for this experiment, it should be improved and an MTU diesel generator should be installed at the tail. However, the cost of modification is too high. To save costs, there is no such thing.

After a few days of testing, there were no accidents. Who would have thought that the power system had a problem now that it was a critical moment!

Zhang Zhen was very anxious, and immediately asked his hands to troubleshoot. Qin Tao looked at his watch, and then thought of something: "Do you use an electric stove in your kitchen?"

Zhang Zhen suddenly realized: "Notify the kitchen immediately, stop cooking! Wait until the experiment is completed! Also, turn off the lights in unnecessary cabins!"

If it wasn't for Qin Tao's reminder, they might still have to find the cause of the failure for a long time.

There are many reasons for the disconnection, the air switch is broken, there is a short circuit in the circuit, etc. Zhang Zhen originally thought it was the reason for the aging of the power system of his warship, so he had to quickly search for the wiring and find the fault point, but he ignored the most basic problem: Electric stove in the kitchen.

In fact, when the Type 01 frigate was first built, it used a gas stove, which is very convenient to use, but it also poses a great safety hazard, especially when it is necessary to perform long-distance navigation missions.

In addition to the fact that the deck of the warship is full of potatoes, canned food and other convenient food for storage, in the kitchen, one tank of gas is not enough, and two or three more tanks should be kept in reserve, in case there is a fire, it will be troublesome. (A certain Internet writer who served on a frigate told me that when they served, they often like to steal food temporarily stored on the deck. There is not enough storage in the kitchen, and food is everywhere on the entire warship.)
Therefore, after the 70s, gas tanks were eliminated and replaced with electric stoves. Modern warships have almost given up cooking with open fires.

Of course, there are exceptions, enviable ones, some Americans held barbecue meetings on the deck of an aircraft carrier, and despised ones, the third brother was cooking directly on the side of the ship with a gas stove, next to the Uranus anti-ship missile launcher. (There is also a saying that monkeys do this.)
The cause is found, the fault is eliminated, and the test continues.
