Great warships

Chapter 354 Titanium Alloy Model?

"Malaysia's geographical location is very important, and the threats faced by the world are increasing day by day. These reasons allow us to successfully hold the Asian Defense Exhibition. This time, it is our fourth Asian Defense Exhibition. We can see that this It is no longer just a defense exhibition in Asia. Arms dealers from all over the world gather here. A total of 46 countries and thousands of manufacturers come to participate in our defense exhibition, making our Asia defense exhibition a global one. defense exhibition."

Today is April 4. The opening ceremony of the defense exhibition was hosted by the famous Dato Seri Najib Razak. His voice, along with the broadcast, echoed throughout the defense exhibition.

In the outdoor exhibition area, outside the booth of Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry, a group of people has already surrounded.

Most of these people were soldiers in military uniforms, and a few were reporters with badges on their chests. These people were all attracted by the huge model of the warship.

The lens of the camera was shooting wildly at this large model, and Yang Dawei, the designer of Mingzhou Group, was directing several young men under him to distribute leaflets to people around.

"This is the most advanced F-40T foreign trade frigate." At the bow of this warship model, Qin Tao stood next to the naval gun and introduced it to the people present.

Xu Zhengyang stood beside him, watching the crowd vigilantly. If that figure appeared again, he would react immediately.

Qin Tao's figure looks a little bloated, and the suits he wears are all one size larger because they wear bulletproof vests inside.Of course, the possibility that the other party would really dare to do something like this is very small. This bulletproof vest is mainly just in case.

Among the crowd, there were also several disguised security personnel who would take decisive action once they found suspicious persons.

At this time, Qin Tao had to introduce what should be introduced. After all, they came all the way from Mingzhou Group to do business.

Of course, the things he wants to introduce are all in the brochure.

Among the crowd, a reporter shouted loudly: "Excuse me, where is the anti-aircraft weapon on your warship?"

"Shouldn't those AK630s be used for air defense?"

"Of course not. Our warship uses vertical launch system ship-to-air missiles, which have the ability to defend in all directions. Now, please ask our staff to open the sidewall so that everyone can see clearly!"

Can the side of this warship model be opened?

Everyone was surprised, looking at the huge warship model, and then saw the edge of the side plate, and someone started to screw the screws on it!

Isn't this model too weird?
Everyone was extremely curious and looked at the opening.

"Excuse me, what is your warship made of?"

If such a big guy was welded out of steel, it would probably weigh hundreds of tons, right?A trailer cannot be towed.Cardboard?It's impossible for that person to step on it!wooden?
Wood is most likely, the structure is light, and it can carry the weight of a person, but the color of this warship does not look like it, the surface is metallic luster!

Aluminum alloy?Impossible, if it is aluminum alloy, how expensive is it?

Looking at the curious eyes of the audience, Qin Tao said lightly: "This warship is made of titanium alloy as a whole."

Titanium!
Now, everyone was shocked.

They know the value of titanium alloy. How much would it cost to build such a warship model with titanium alloy?
Hundreds of millions, billions?

Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group is too powerful, right?Why are you so willing to spend money?
Looking at the eyes of these people below, Qin Tao felt very satisfied, this is what he wanted.

Tomorrow's newspapers and tonight's news will all report on the Mingzhou Group. The warship model of this size has already attracted attention. Now, the big guys know that this model is actually made of titanium alloy!

Even now, the news has spread rapidly, and countless reporters and spectators are coming out of the indoor exhibition area to watch the excitement.

Titanium alloy warship model, never heard of it!
Of course, the titanium alloy discarded by Lao Maozi was used. After it was transported to Mingzhou Group, part of it was used to build a deep-diving lifeboat, but there was still a lot left, so Qin Tao waved his hand and made a titanium alloy model first. , Take it to show off!
Anyway, it’s just knocking a shell, just operate it on the bending machine. As for the assembly, there is no dynamic welding, and the screw connection or riveting is directly used. After returning, it can be disassembled and other things can be done.

At this time, the cover on the side was removed, and sure enough, one person easily picked up the cover. Judging by the thickness, it must be quite lightweight metal.

The internal structure of the warship's side is also displayed. In the front is the bomb feeder equipment under the naval gun, and in the back is the square vertical launch tube.

At this time, the reporter who just asked the question had already got the brochure, both in Chinese and English. When he saw the above data, he was shocked again.

"A missile with a range of forty kilometers? How is this possible? Don't you only have sea rattlesnakes?"

"That's right, what is this domestically produced [-]-kilometer missile?"

"Everyone, aren't you the most professional military journalists? Why don't you even know this?" Qin Tao looked at the reporters: "Our domestically produced missile with a range of [-] kilometers was exhibited at the International Defense Exhibition three years ago. It was once publicly shown, and it has a nice name called Kaishan. By the way, if you want to know more, you can go to the indoor exhibition hall, where our Kaishan system is displayed indoors."

Kaishan?

"Your Kaishan missile is just a modified version of the Sam-2 missile. Its performance is very poor! Using it as a warship's anti-aircraft missile is fooling people!"

Among the crowd below, a voice came out.

Xu Zhengyang looked over with sharp eyes, and immediately recognized the speaker, and compared them in his brain like a computer comparison program.

South kimchi country, Zheng Yuzhe, the technical director of Hyundai Heavy Industries!

Is this guy here to mess things up?

"Boss Qin, from the South Kimchi Country." Xu Zhengyang whispered in Qin Tao's ear.

Qin Tao nodded, okay, no problem, after a while, let's go to their side to make trouble!

"Sir, your understanding is wrong." Qin Tao looked at the direction of the person speaking: "Now, let's show you a Kaishan missile, so that everyone can know the difference from the Sam-2 missile."

Qin Tao waved his hand, and the staff behind him bent down and lowered their heads, directly opened one of the launch covers, and pulled out the missile model inside.

The projectile body is thick, and the four large-area wings in the middle are deployed, and the four wings on the bottom are poked on the ground, just as a support.

Everyone was shocked. This model is too realistic, right?Not only is there an internal missile launcher, there are actually missiles inside!
However, when this model comes out, doubts do not exist.

Because the appearance of this missile is completely different from that of the Sam-2 missile!

The Sam 2 missile is slender, divided into two sections front and rear, and the booster at the back is longer, now what?This model is [-]% similar to the Hawk missile.

"Since everyone can come to the Asian Defense Exhibition, they should be professionals. Let's take a look, is this Kaishan missile the same as the Sam-2 missile?"

The people below shook their heads.

"See? There is no similarity at all!" Qin Tao said: "Sir, your so-called Kaishan missile is a modification of the Sam-2 missile. Where did you hear it?"

Zheng Yuzhe blushed and did not speak.

The appearance of the missile really doesn't look like it. If he said anything else, he would probably be despised by others. If he was recognized, wouldn't even Hyundai Heavy Industries behind him be despised?

Can't say, can't say.

Qin Tao smiled.

"The outside world always has colored glasses on our Chinese military industry. Whenever we invent a new weapon, we always want to find a father for it. In fact, an insider can tell at a glance, as long as those who don't understand Only amateurs will make up things."

Zheng Yuzhe held back, not daring to speak.

"Of course, everyone knows that our Hongqi-2 air defense missile, which is the imitation of the Sam-2 missile, has been in service for decades and is now on the verge of being eliminated. Therefore, we If you are interested, you can go to the indoor exhibition area to see it at the booth of AVIC Technology, and the price is very cheap."

By the way, Qin Tao made an advertisement for this missile, and then continued to talk about his own project.

"Our Kaishan missile has a range of more than 40 kilometers and has medium-range air defense capabilities. If you choose it, you can escort the entire fleet. Of course. Because some people always look at us with colored glasses, so , we also have different collocation plans." Qin Tao said: "Everyone can open the second page of the brochure, and our air defense missile system is replaced by a hedgehog."

hedgehog?

Many people have never heard of this name. When they turned to the second page and saw the familiar missile, they recognized it.

"SA-N-7? Isn't it called the Gadfly?"

"No, how could the range of this missile be close to 20 kilometers? It's obviously only more than [-] kilometers!"

Seeing the puzzled faces of these people, Qin Tao introduced them.

"Everyone, when we were developing this air defense frigate, we coordinated with Da Mao and decided to introduce their latest missile system. This is an improvement on Shi Keli, which is the missile system you call the Gadfly. Range. This is also to meet the diversified needs of users.” Qin Tao smiled on his face: “Some users pursue cost performance, so choose our own Kaishan system, and some users pursue high performance, then choose Hedgehog from Big Hair."

The Hedgehog missile system is the name of Da Mao, and the West will give it a SA-N-12 Grizzly number.However, this is only available after the missile is in service.

Now, this missile has just appeared and has not yet been installed on a warship, so there is no serial number yet.

Da Mao's latest air defense missile!
Who dares to say that the performance is not reliable?Who dares to say that the quality is low?
Two different missiles were erected on the deck. They were completely scaled models with a length of more than half a meter. Qin Tao lifted one in each hand.

"Everyone, we have a variety of configuration solutions, and there is always one that can meet the needs of users! If you want to be cheap, you should use Kaishan, and if you want high performance, you should use Hedgehog. If you want both cheap and high performance, then, Please go back and lie on the bed and sleep, only in dreams!"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience roared with laughter.

"President Qin, do you have any other configuration plans?"

At this moment, another reporter below spoke.

This is a female reporter with an oriental face, a slender figure, a curvy body, long hair, and a sweet smile on her face.

"Of course there is. If the user likes it, other western equipment can be added, such as the American MK41 launch system, but we are only responsible for the final assembly, not the negotiation."

"In other words, your main products are still based on Da Mao's style? We can see that the roof radar on the mast, the eye masks on both sides of the bridge, and the music stand directly in front are all Da Mao's products. (It seems that our Hongqi-16's target irradiation radar is nicknamed the blindfold. I don't know if Lao Maozi's is also this nickname.)
After her reminder, the people around noticed that this is completely a big hair style battleship, and all kinds of equipment on it are big hair goods!

"Currently, our model is arranged according to the Hedgehog missile. The Hedgehog missile needs to use the roof radar to provide target data and the eye mask to illuminate the target. We also brought the bandstand radar along the way for long-range detection of warships. , This is an over-the-horizon radar after all. Ma'am, your vision is very good, much better than that gentleman just now."

The people around laughed again, and they all looked at Zheng Yuzhe. At this time, Zheng Yuzhe was blushing, but he still refused to leave. He wanted to find out the details of this warship, and then go back to make a detailed report.

The female reporter also showed a sweet smile, those eyes seemed to be able to seduce people's souls.

"Okay, the introduction to everyone is almost done. Now let's go to the back and look at the power system at the back. Ask our staff to open the cover at the back."

After the back was disassembled, the camera lens shot wildly again.

"We used four diesel engines for two-shaft propulsion, which is also the world's first all-diesel power."

"You bragging!" Zheng Yuzhe, who had been holding back for a long time, finally said: "This kind of power should be the first in France, and the Lavante-class frigate is using it! You actually said that you created it yourself!"

Finally found the direction to fight back, Zheng Yuzhe's voice was loud, trembling because of excitement.

Qin Tao looked at Zheng Yuzhe with a smile: "This gentleman is indeed a half-baked person with only half-knowledge. Now, please introduce this beautiful female reporter to you!"

Qin Tao looked at the female reporter just now.

The military is exclusive to men, and there are very few female reporters. There is only one female reporter in Qin Tao's direction, the one who spoke just now.

At this time, she nodded and smiled, and said: "Although the Lavant-class frigate is also used, it uses a small towing method. The power of the diesel engine for cruising is small, and the power of the diesel engine for acceleration is large. This product of Mingzhou Group , uses a diesel engine of the same power, so it will be more technically difficult in terms of paralleling vehicles. They are all diesel engines, but they are definitely the first.”

What, how can you explain it like that?

Zheng Yuzhe felt a little angry, but this did make sense. His Quanchai Alliance was different from the French Quanchai Alliance, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was the first.

In this way, wouldn't he become a clown?

"Mr., do you understand? If you understand, please give this lady a tuition fee! If you don't understand, then give more, and let her explain it to you. It’s embarrassing to save.”

There was another burst of laughter, this time, Zheng Yuzhe was completely ashamed, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, turned and left.

The female reporter looked at Qin Tao and continued to smile sweetly, while Xu Zhengyang was already secretly admiring him.

Mr. Qin laid the groundwork without showing any signs, not only succeeded in driving away the troublemaker, but also tested the female reporter!
The latter is more important. There must be something wrong with this female reporter, because this foreign trade frigate has just been launched. The difference between Quanchai power is not something outsiders can understand, but this female reporter said the difference between it and the Lavante frigate. If it is clear, then her identity will be completely exposed!
It seems that the other party also knows that in this kind of occasion, they can't play too much, and it won't end in the end, so they plan to use beauty tricks!
It's a pity that the other party didn't investigate. Mr. Qin has such a wife, how could he be tempted by other women?

Now you can relax.

"Our frigate has a very balanced air defense, anti-ship, and anti-submarine design. It is the most suitable design for users. Now, anyone who intends to order our warship can come up in an orderly manner and inspect it for himself!"

Apart from attracting eyeballs, of course there are other purposes for making such a large model.

The other warships are just pocket models. Take a look at the exterior. This model of Qin Tao can be directly brought up to see various details inside!The impression this leaves on potential customers is absolutely extraordinary.

Hearing Qin Tao's words, the people below immediately became excited.

"By the way, I have to add another sentence. The users who come up for inspection are limited to developing countries. Other colleagues from developed countries should not come up. In our words, colleagues are enemies. If you are at this defense exhibition, It would be too much to steal our technology and finally create a warship that is the same as our warship.”

When Qin Tao said this, he looked at the western faces in the crowd. These people can only watch from a distance, and there is absolutely no way to step up to investigate.

"Boss Qin, can we come up?" Among the crowd, some people were already gearing up and couldn't wait.

"Of course, welcome old friends." Qin Tao smiled when he saw one of the familiar figures.

old bus!

The first person to come up for inspection was an officer of the Pakistani Navy, and the leader of the team was the senior officer Mahmoud whom he met when he was selling the 053 frigate last time!
Mahmoud was wearing a brand-new military uniform, looking radiant. After passing through the outer cordon, he ran directly to the big hole and looked at the model of the anti-aircraft missile inside.

For a long time, the Chinese navy has lacked air defense weapons, and incidentally, the old bus's air defense level is not good.The 053 frigate ordered last time only used the Sea Sidewinder air defense missile system.

However, how can that kind of point defense system with a range of only a dozen kilometers compare with the medium-range air defense system in front of us?

The range is close to [-] kilometers, and it is still hanging down. No matter how you look at it, it is a good deal!
"According to the current design, there are four eight-mounted missile launchers on it, so that there are a total of 32 prepared bombs, which can deal with various targets. If it is a Hedgehog system, whether it is an aircraft at an altitude of 6000 meters or a low altitude on the sea All skimming anti-ship missiles can be intercepted, and this weapon system will provide a protective umbrella for your navy."

Mahmoud nodded: "Yes, the air defense performance of this warship is very good!"

"Its displacement is close to [-] tons, so the interior space is larger and the overall performance is better. We also have a special tropical design with a high-power air conditioner to meet the sailing needs of tropical seas."

Mahmoud nodded again and again: "Yes, I'll go up and have a look!"

Standing on the deck, looking at the cover of the vertical launcher, Mahmud was full of anticipation.

It’s only in the 90s. The Aegis system in the United States is not sold casually. Besides, even if it is sold, they in Pakistan will never be able to afford it. They are looking for second-hand warships all over the world, maybe because they have no money.

Now, seeing this system is drooling, but he also knows in his heart that the price of this kind of warship is definitely not cheap!

"How much is the price?"

"As for the price, let's go to the office inside the booth to discuss in detail," Qin Tao said.

Speaking outside, it is easy to be heard by others, it is more appropriate to go to the office.

Each external booth area will have a dedicated office, some are fixed houses, and some are tents.

Mingzhou Group brought three tents, which can facilitate three groups of business negotiations at the same time.

After Mahmoud led the team to visit, Qin Tao left Yang Dawei to lead a group of people to visit, and he led the old bus and his party into the tent in the middle.

"Everyone, the conditions are simple, don't be disgusted."

"President Qin, we're not here for tourism." Mahmoud said, "How much is your air defense frigate equipped with Hedgehog system?"

"If you don't count missiles, the price needs to be 1.5 million. This is the lowest price we can offer you. If it is another customer, our quotation is at least around 2 million. Of course, if we purchase our own Kay If the Shan system is used, together with [-] spare ammunition, the price can be lowered to [-] million."

(Type 054A frigates, each cost 18 billion yuan to build, converted to two to three hundred million U.S. dollars, but those are all after the new millennium, and it is only 94 years now. According to the currency value of this era, give Laoba a quotation 1.5 million, it should be about the same.)
Is it worth $1.5 million to purchase a frigate with a displacement of less than [-] tons?
It depends on how it compares.

The last batch of 053 purchased by the old bus was only more than 3000 million US dollars, which is less than a fraction of this type of 054, but the combat effectiveness is also scumbag.

Now this kind of warship uses a large number of big hair equipment, and of course the price will also rise.

Qin Tao led a team to Lao Maozi to purchase modern grades, which was also at this price.However, other than Qin Tao, it would be absolutely impossible to do it with someone else. A Hyundai-class ship would cost [-] million US dollars. Looking at it this way, the foreign trade frigates of Mingzhou Group are already very cheap.

The price is indeed not expensive, but Pakistan can't afford it either!
"If you are interested in purchasing, we can discuss various payment methods. For example, it is also possible to exchange the right to use Gwadar Port."
