Great warships

Chapter 301 Talent and technology must be poached
Wen Xue stood up.

"We have established a design model of the steam turbine through computer simulation. We have a zero-stage compressor blade design here. I don't know if it can meet your needs."

The drawings are spread out, and various data are introduced!
No one was drinking anymore, they all listened carefully, Sergey's eyes widened, he could already see that this zero-stage compressor was specially prepared for them!

After Wen Xueyou's introduction, Sergey looked at Qin Tao with complicated eyes.

"Mr. Qin, this Wengong's design is really great. I have a hunch that this design should be a perfect match for our gas turbine."

"Of course, Wen Gong is a genius in gas turbines in our country." Qin Tao said: "He is still developing more advanced gas turbines recently. Since the big guys are here, let him make a fool of himself and tell the big guys."

"The core technology of the compressor lies in the design of the blade. As the load increases, the reverse pressure gradient of the internal flow field of the compressor becomes more obvious, accompanied by complex shock waves, transitions, and flow separation. Meet the requirements of compressor load and efficiency. At present, with the application of advanced computers, this complex fluid can already be simulated by computer. We have done a lot of research in this regard. The blade just introduced , is the result of our research in this area.”

There was envy in Sergey's eyes, it would be great if there was an advanced computer to simulate, but unfortunately, they can't afford it!
The calculator at hand was given by Qin Tao. The computer used for simulation is expensive and not something they can afford.

"The core technology of the combustion chamber is to achieve a better combustion method through structural design, to meet the requirements of high stability, low emissions and fuel adaptability. At present, we have noticed that Europe has higher and higher requirements for environmental protection. Our engine must not only have high power, but also reduce emissions and pollution, and at the same time, it must be adaptable to multiple fuels, not only can burn heavy oil, but also natural gas and the like.”

"We sell gas turbines to Europe, and they pick on us. The most important thing is environmental protection." Popov said with emotion.

As the person in charge here, he has been running around for the past two years.

The Red Empire disappeared immediately, and the construction of various large warships stopped. The gas turbines they produced here suddenly had no use for them. Therefore, Popov could only go to Europe and use them everywhere. their gas turbines.

However, after seeing their parameters, people may still be interested, but after seeing the emissions, they shake their heads.

Qin Tao secretly laughed, environmental protection, emissions, this is just an excuse, and it is a very useful excuse!

It is impossible to enter the European market, because there is an engine giant Rolls-Royce in Europe!The Dawn Consortium wants to compete with Rolls-Royce, how is that possible?

Therefore, the promotion must be hindered. It is inconvenient for people to directly say that the performance is not advanced enough, so they simply pick on the problem of environmental protection.

On the way here, Qin Tao talked about these things with Wen Xueyou. Now, it is most appropriate for him to fool people.

"The most important part of the turbine is cooling technology, which is also one of the most critical core difficulties of heavy-duty gas turbines. The temperature of the new generation of gas turbines proposed by you should reach 1000 to [-] degrees, which is actually outdated. We have observed that the West is already developing toward [-] blade temperature, including the internal enhanced heat transfer and film cooling ... "

Wen Xueyou's introduction was almost finished, and Qin Tao knew that it was time to do it himself.

"If you want to sell your gas turbines to Europe, you have to further improve your technology." Qin Tao said: "We have also pre-researched a lot of technologies in terms of gas turbines. It is the best to cooperate with each other and exchange the technologies they have mastered.”

If you come here to seek technical support, even though Ermao is poor, you may not be willing to give it. For Ermao, what they want to do most is to sell products, just like when we first met, Popov wanted to sell Giving ten gas turbines to our side, although it is the price of cabbage, is definitely not cheap.

Selling products can be sold non-stop, and the flow of water is long. Selling technology, no matter how much money is sold, it is a one-time sale.

Unless it is the end of the mountain, otherwise, how could Ermao be willing to give out the technology of pressing the bottom of the box.

However, when the two parties cooperate with each other, it is different.

Ermao can't wait to sell their gas turbines, but they are stuck with many technical standards and look down on their products. They must improve, and the related technologies needed for improvement happen to be in Qin Tao's hands. hand.

In this way, isn't it fair and reasonable for the big guys to exchange technologies with each other?
Popov pondered for a moment, then asked, "What technology do you need?"

With excitement, Wen Xue spoke out the technologies needed.

Relevant materials, production process... just no overall design drawing of the gas turbine!
If only these words, what does it mean?
Dongfang has its own gas turbine research and development system, but it is lacking in materials and craftsmanship!

"You guys, don't you want the detailed design drawings of the gas turbine?" Popov asked Qin Tao.

Qin Tao shook his head, what do you want?Based on your waste paper, we have already restored the detailed design, and what we need are materials and craftsmanship.

Popov in front of him, either has forgotten that he sold waste paper in this way and made a fortune, or he dare not speculate that Dongfang can deduce the design by relying on those draft papers.

"By the way, if you are willing to export related production equipment to us, we can spend money to purchase it." Qin Tao said.

The money that should be spent still has to be spent. If there are two sets of production equipment in the Southern Steam Turbine Factory, it is quite a good choice to dismantle them directly and give one to their side. They made money and their side got the production equipment.

"I can't directly agree to your proposal." Popov swallowed and said, "I need to ask the relevant superiors for instructions."

If you sell products directly, even if the price is cheaper, you can just protect your capital. Popov can make the decision. However, selling production technology and craftsmanship is different.

"Of course." Qin Tao said: "We will stay here for a few days, waiting for your superiors to answer. If you don't mind, we would like to visit here. By the way, I think it is best for you to grasp If you seize this opportunity, you will either fly to the top of the mountain or fall to the bottom of the valley.”

Popov's body shook.

the conference has ended.

Sergey returned to the design room, holding a pen in his hand, and quickly drew on the drawings. Although he didn't use drawing tools, the graphics he drew were orderly and quite standard.

dong dong!

There was a knock on the door outside.

"Please come in."

"Why is it so empty here, Mr. Sergey, are you alone?"

"Now there is no task, what are you doing here?" Sergey replied: "They all go out to work, some go to run taxis, some go to work as porters, they always don't pay wages, everyone has to find a way live!"

When he said these words, his tone was bitter.

In the past, this was the best gas turbine research and development unit in the Red Empire. The people here received good salaries, lived a comfortable life, and devoted themselves to work every day.

Now?Hehehe, all he could do was smile wryly.

After he finished complaining, he saw the person coming, it was Qin Tao!

Qin Tao said that he wanted to go around here, so Popov of course sent someone to take them around, but Qin Tao separated from them halfway and went straight to the design room here.

Ordinarily, this kind of department needs to be kept strictly confidential, and the security measures are very good. However, there is not even a guard, so Qin Tao just walked in carelessly.

"Mr. Sergey, have you thought about finding another job?"

"Of course I had this idea. However, I still have some savings. The inflation here is not very serious, and I can still live. I have no other skills, but I want to develop gas turbines."

"So, do you want to change to a better place to develop more advanced gas turbines?"

Sergey raised his head from his design drawing, and looked at Qin Tao solemnly: "Are you planning to poach me, just like those big-haired people, Europeans, and Americans?"

Since the collapse of the Red Empire, everything has been completely messed up.

These technicians who once enjoyed good treatment and could work with peace of mind immediately found that it was difficult to even fill their stomachs. However, as long as they are capable people, no matter where they go, they will have something to eat.

People keep coming to dig.

Many people who were originally from Damao chose to return to Damao, and some were poached by the West and lived in the West.

Those who stayed were struggling to hold on.

One part has no ability, and the other part has ideals. Obviously, Sergey belongs to the latter.

"I want to invite you to work with us, but it's different from those people." Qin Tao said: "I can't promise you a high salary and good treatment. The conditions offered by Westerners are completely incompatible. Compared. However, I can guarantee that your ideals can be realized with us. I don’t know if you pay attention to the international situation. Our Xingchen has been accused by a certain country for no reason, and it still needs to be inspected forcibly.”

Sergey nodded: "Yes, this is the hottest news in the world. Almost every day, the latest developments will be broadcast on TV."

"Then do you know why? What's the underlying reason behind it?"

"please say."

"Because a certain Congress believes that China will gradually become stronger and become their biggest threat, they want to curb our rise." Qin Tao said: "Our road to rise will be full of twists and turns, but in the end, we must It will be successful, our fleet will sail across the oceans of the world, and we will build a powerful navy to protect our sea transportation lines and maintain world peace."

Those who are not determined, or those who are only for money, and yearn for the Western world have been poached away, and those who stay are all with ideals and firm beliefs. Qin Tao likes these people the most.

Now that the Suguang Consortium is here, we can't just bring back the technology, but also the talents, and even more, the talents are more important!
Qin Tao's eyes looked at Sergey with piercing eyes: "Although our navy is still very weak, we are ready to make great strides forward. We will be like the Red Empire in the past, with a ship To receive an underground water warship, we need a large number of advanced gas turbines, Mr. Sergey, I believe that you also want to see the gas turbines you designed can be installed on warships. With all due respect, there is no future here.”

Ermao has no future.

The Red Empire collapsed. Except for Da Mao, Er Mao received the most inheritance, but what happened in the end?

No inheritance can be preserved, what should be sold, what should be thrown away, and the powerful defense industry are all gone.

Anyone can see it, it depends on whether you believe it or not.

"I need to think about it." Sergey was still hesitating.

He has feelings for this place, and it is impossible for him to leave here and leave his hometown just after hearing a few words from Qin Tao.

"Well, just give me the answer before we leave." Qin Tao said: "However, if you go to our place, you will be able to meet many old friends. Together, you will realize your dream. "

See a lot of old friends?
Sergey had a thought.

Qin Tao made a fool of himself and left.

In addition to Sergey, he also has a few raiders, all of whom are the backbone of the technology here.

Zheng Ming, Wen Xue, and a few others wandered around the production workshop.

"Why does the clothing here look like a spacesuit?" When they came to a workshop, they saw the clothing hanging outside, and they were very curious.

"Almost, this suit is for welders. After putting it on, you need to drill into the sealed welding room over there, filled with inert gas, and then work in it." The person on the side introduced.

Helmets, thick suits, and oxygen tubing trailing behind it are bulky things to wear to weld...

"This is a technical job. By the way, where are the workers here?" At this time, Qin Tao had already returned and asked the leader of the team.

"Workers? I don't know. There is a serious surplus of welders here. He probably drove a taxi."

Qin Tao nodded. It is definitely a huge waste for such a skilled worker to drive a taxi!They have to let their skills have room to play!

That night, Qin Tao took a case of wine to the home of the welder who specialized in this kind of welding.

Popov didn't know anything about Qin Tao's poaching. He had taken a lot of benefits from Qin Tao, and he was very relieved of Qin Tao. In the past few days, he went back and forth to various departments to report to various leaders. .

"Popov, if they obtain these processes and production technologies, can they produce gas turbines and compete with us?" A leader asked him solemnly.

"The East has been researching gas turbines for decades, and they have made breakthroughs in some aspects, but they have not installed any self-developed gas turbines on warships, even after they introduced Spey technology. , and have not improved on the basis of the Spey engine, so I think it is impossible for them to develop an advanced gas turbine within ten years."

Popov was sure.

"Since this is the case, in order for our Dawn Alliance to continue to develop, we can agree to their request!"

The leader in charge finally made a decision.

Popov felt relieved.

"However, in terms of price, it must not be low. We will take 30.00% of the money you sell, and the rest will be left to you to pay your own wages." The leader in charge continued to speak.

Although Popov was a little distressed by the [-]% rake, Popov was very happy to be able to sell a sum of money and pay employees wages.

Moreover, they can also sell more, so that they can get more funds.

With such good news, Popov returned to the Shuguang Consortium and continued to discuss with Qin Tao and others.

Production technology, processing equipment, especially the most important turbine blade production and welding equipment, have all been purchased. The entire project cost tens of millions of dollars, but it is still much less than the original expected investment.

Moreover, with these, the country will quickly make up for its shortcomings. By the end of the year, maybe the first heavy-duty gas turbine will be able to be tested on the bench.

This is definitely a huge leap forward.

Popov is also very happy. With this amount of funds, the workers can get their wages. If wages are not paid, the entire consortium may be disbanded.

"Qin, where are you going next?"

Next, it's time to buy a modern grade!If the navy wants to grow rapidly, outsourcing is also a good way.

"Since we're here, of course we're going to visit our old friends." Qin Tao said, "Tomorrow, we'll visit the Black Sea Shipyard."

Now that I have come to the city of Nikolayev, of course I have to see the rusty Varyag.

"Well, you and there are already old friends, so I won't get involved." Popov was very interesting. He originally wanted to take Qin Tao around. If Qin Tao and the others buy something again, then he It's also good to get a share of it.

Black Sea Shipyard?Forget it, after all, Qin Tao has been to the Black Sea Shipyard more than once, and has also helped deal with scrap iron. He is the benefactor of the Black Sea Shipyard.

Now that she came out, she would listen to Qin Tao. Therefore, Wen Xueyou stayed here to continue trading, and when she left, she took all these things, as well as a large number of technicians including Sergey, away.

Zheng Ming followed Qin Tao and brought a few assistants to the Black Sea Shipyard.

When he saw the lonely Varyag on the outfitting dock, Zheng Ming felt his heart beating faster.

Once, when he heard that Ermao was going to deal with this warship, Mr. Liu was tempted and wanted to send Zheng Ming over to negotiate and coordinate the purchase, but Qin Tao stopped him from doing so.

This warship must be bought, but definitely not now.

Therefore, Zheng Ming did not come.

Mr. Liu caressed the photo of the Varyag many times and was fascinated. He knew that Mr. Liu was obsessed with this warship, and so was he. Now, he finally saw it!
The surface of the warship was already stained with rust, as if it was gradually withering with the passing of that empire.

"Mr. Makarov, what are you doing? Are you fascinated by watching the Varyag every day?" At this time, Qin Tao brought Zheng Ming to the family area of ​​the shipyard. Here, the best location, There is a villa, just on the open-air balcony of the villa, and a person sits there, staring at the direction of the Varyag.

At this time, after hearing this greeting, Makarov turned his head and saw Qin Tao with a wry smile on his face.

"Qin, I heard that you have been at the Shuguang Consortium in the past few days. I guessed that you will definitely come to see me. Is everything settled over there?"

Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, everything has been settled over there. Do you have any scrap iron on your side? Can you sell that scrap iron ship?"

Seeing the direction of Qin Tao's finger, Zheng Ming's heart couldn't help being excited. Could it be that Mr. Qin can buy the Varyag just by understating it so lightly?

Of course not, it was just a joke.

Makarov shook his head: "That scrap iron ship belongs to the state, and we have no right to dispose of it."

We have to wait two more years. In 95, Ermao's leaders felt that the Varyag had no hope, so they handed over the disposal right to the Black Sea Shipyard. Now, there is still hope.

"Okay, then you can keep it and continue to rust."

While speaking, Qin Tao had already stepped onto the terrace, sat down generously on the chair next to Makarov, and greeted the people behind him, so all kinds of food and drinks were placed in front.

"There's nothing good, I just brought some souvenirs."

Although the operation of the Black Sea Shipyard has been difficult, for people like Makarov, there is no need to worry about eating and drinking. These local products, no matter what expensive gifts.Of course, with Makarov's personality, if he really gave something valuable, he would definitely not accept it.

"President Qin, have you taken a fancy to something good from me again?" Makarov asked Qin Tao.

"On your berth zero, there are two 900-ton cranes. If you are useless, sell them to me!" Qin Tao said, "If you pack, unpack, and transport, each crane will cost 1000 million U.S. dollars. ,how?"

Warships can't be the masters, but the crane can always be the masters, right?
Those two cranes?Makarov had a complicated expression.

At the beginning, in order to build a heavy-duty aircraft-carrying cruiser, they remodeled their No. [-] berth and purchased two [-]-ton cranes, so that when the former warship was assembled, the sections of the latter ship could be built next to it. , When the former warship is launched, the sections of the latter ship will be hoisted directly and welded, which greatly improves the progress of shipbuilding.

Now, sell those two cranes?

"Hello, Director Makarov, do you have any guests?" Just then, someone came over to say hello.

"Yes, let me introduce, this is Qin, from the east, who once helped us dispose of scrap iron. Qin, this is Yarmolenko, he is the person in charge of the Nitka base. It’s useless, so, come and see me, an old man.”
