Great warships

Chapter 356 Do You Want A Tall Submarine?
The Sea Sparrow missile can be launched from three types of launchers, the MK29 inclined box launcher, the MK48 and the MK41 vertical launcher.The last one is universal and can be plugged in all kinds, so if there are only sea sparrows, the first two are usually used.

"Either there is a vertical launcher, or the Aegis system, and the distance is still far away." Qin Tao continued to spray: "If you use MK29, arrange one at the front and one at the front and back, and there are still 16 spare bombs, and you can also arrange them in advance. To attack the target, one is enough, and there is a second chance to make up for it. With the vertical launcher, the anti-ship missiles will have no time to dive in front of them. They can only fire two salvos. In this way, how much difference is there in the number of intercepted targets? ?”

"Don't always catch up with the trend, users are not stupid, it's just a vertical launch system, so it's so tall. It's a chicken rib is a chicken rib!"

"Slander, what you are doing is clearly slander!" Li Renjun was extremely angry: "Security, where is the security?"

"Why, didn't you want to argue with us just now? Now that the theory is no good, you're looking for security again?" Qin Tao said with a smile: "You guys are only at this level!"

"Okay, let's continue with the theory. Our warship is a destroyer. The performance of air defense, anti-submarine, and anti-ship is very balanced. Therefore, the vertical launch system only has 16 units, which is also to make room for other systems!"

"Well, since you say so, let's continue with the theory. For a destroyer with a displacement of less than [-] tons, it is impossible to achieve a balanced development of air defense, anti-submarine, and anti-ship. If you are proficient in everything, you must be sloppy in everything." Qin Tao continued to criticize: "If the displacement is enlarged to five or six thousand tons, it will be even better. And, more importantly, there is a problem with your ship design!"

Have a problem with boat design?
Li Renjun laughed angrily: "What's wrong with the design of the ship?"

"It's about to enter the 21st century. When you design, don't you consider the need for stealth? It's still the same as the warships in World War II. It's messy, which significantly increases your radar reflection area. Moreover, your ship is long. The aspect ratio has reached 9.5, which is completely at the level of World War II! The aspect ratio of modern warships must be around 8 to have better seaworthiness. I am surprised that you have imported American-made LM2500 gas turbines, which are so useful Are you stingy with motivation? Or is your designer level too low, or the level of World War II?"

"Damn it, you guys are here to make trouble!" Li Renjun didn't want to argue with Qin Tao anymore: "Where's the security guard? Quick, please security guard, drive them away!"

Qin Tao shook his head helplessly, and looked at Mahmoud and the others who were following him: "You see? This is hiding diseases and avoiding medicine, and the truth is all refuted. They can't stand the test of our few words now. If you still If you want to consider this kind of foreign trade warship, you can do whatever you want!"

Simple data is the best way to explain the problem.

In the previous era, the power of warships was not enough. If you want to make warships run faster, you must make warships into slender shapes.

During World War II, the aspect ratio of warships was generally around ten.

With the development of technology and the improvement of the power of warships, warships are also made wider and wider. In this way, with the same displacement, the internal space of warships will become larger.

The 1 frigate, which has a displacement of one or two hundred tons less than the KDX-054 destroyer, has a larger internal space than the former, because its aspect ratio is only 8.4. Because it is relatively wide, it can deploy a 32-unit vertical launcher.

This basic data shows that the opponent's designer is still at the level of World War II.

Mahmoud was a little embarrassed. After all, he came here with Qin Tao and the others. Now that Qin Tao said this, how could he continue to visit South Kimchi Country?He is an accomplice.

Moreover, Qin Tao was right.

Although the shipbuilding industry in the South Kimchi Country is well developed, this is only the second model when it comes to self-designed warships. If it is said to be close to [-] tons of warships, this is the first time. Therefore, the South Kimchi Country has insufficient experience. A better design should have been made, but now, the entire warship looks so unbearable.

"Mr. Li Renjun, you have no way to answer these questions, so are you going to drive me away?" Just then, a woman's voice sounded.

Sure enough, it was the same female reporter who continued to create coincidences and help Qin Tao speak, so that he could gain Qin Tao's favor and create opportunities for further contact.

With a smile on his face, Qin Tao looked at the female reporter, and the female reporter also looked over at this time, her eyes met, and some sparks came out of the collision.

"Yes, as a warship designer, what do you think of these issues? Is this warship with the aspect ratio of World War II level without stealth considerations already the highest level of your design team?" Other reporters also asked. Seized the opportunity and asked Li Renjun a question.

Li Renjun can say that Qin Tao is here to make trouble, because the big guys are colleagues, but these reporters' questions must be taken seriously. Reporters are the most difficult to deal with. If he dares to use the same method, it may cause trouble Verbal criticism from all reporters.

Qin Tao turned his head and left, anyway, his task has been completed.

What are these guys thinking, that they dare to take out such immature warships as foreign trade products?
The domestic navy is holding on to 054, and the Hongqi-16 on it is prohibited from exporting, which is enough to show that the navy attaches great importance to this warship. However, the same thing will not happen to the Kimchi country, because they simply built a shell. , all of the above weapon systems are outsourced.

Therefore, while they are producing for themselves, they will sell them without leaking secrets. Anyway, this kind of system has been sold to many countries. Whether it is Sea Sparrow, Harpoon anti-ship missile, or the latter anti-submarine system, there are many countries in the world. The country is using it, and there is nothing to keep secret.

Their advantage, of course, is the assembly.

It's a pity that their current knowledge is too shallow, and they haven't reached the point where they can export. If they export rashly, the result is what they are now, and they are strongly despised.

In fact, if they really want to sell it, they should sell the 209 submarine.

After all, Germany's 209 submarine is the evergreen tree in the world's arms market. In later generations, this product, which was called the Zhangbaogao-class submarine by the South Kimchi Country, was successfully sold, and it was still a billion-dollar bill.

However, this submarine, which was manufactured with technology introduced by the South Kimchi Country in 92, has not yet been introduced to the international market. Either the South Kimchi Country’s own order has not been completed and there is no time to sell it, or it has not yet received the order from a German company. authorized.

In short, the opponent's trump card was not released, and they made a weak point. What kind of king class, even the South Kimchi Kingdom has only equipped three ships, and then improved to the KDX-II of five or six thousand tons. Moreover, these three ships During the entire service process of warships, they did not undertake much combat readiness tasks.

The first one has various flaws, which are understandable.It's just that it's wrong to take it out to deceive people.

Qin Tao returned to his booth, feeling at ease. Before he could sit down and take a sip of water, he realized that those shy Pyramid people had come to visit again!

Qin Tao greeted him with a smile: "Everyone, do you still want to see other frigates? It is said that Britain and France have also come to participate in the exhibition, and they also have good things there."

good stuff?
Britain and France in the 90s, what good things can there be?There are no vertically launched ship-to-air missiles, and the price is prohibitively expensive. American products can only afford second-hand ones.

The price is moderate, the performance is first-class, and the production technology can be exported, and there are only Chinese products!
"President Qin, let's inspect your products again. We are very interested in your products." Mamish said.

It is said that good horses don't turn their heads back, but the other party probably doesn't understand this truth. Even if they understand, after shopping around, they have to eat what they should.

Qin Tao replied: "Welcome, welcome, but we have already seen the frigate, and we have talked about everything we need to talk about. There is more than one product like this on our booth. I think it is the most important product for your navy at present. What is lacking should be submarines.”

submarine!

Sure enough, the eyes of the naval officers of the Pyramid Kingdom present were all brightened.

Qin Tao mourned for 0.1 seconds of silence for the colleagues from the South Kimchi Country who just sprayed it. If the other party pushes 209 to the Pyramid Country, it will definitely win the game. Qin Tao doesn't have any rhetoric.

For the pyramid countries, even if they continue to develop their sea power and become the number one sea power in the nearby area, they cannot compete with their old opponents who have fought for decades. Although the opponent's navy may not be strong, but the opponent's But it has the strongest air power in the entire region.

Why did the Pyramid Kingdom agree with what Qin Tao said just now?It is because for them, the biggest threat comes from the top of their heads!

They have to choose the strongest air defense ship, and only dare to go out when the war comes. The others have to stay in the port honestly, and even the port is not very safe. There is nothing that the old opponent can't do. of.

Therefore, compared with the surface fleet, underwater is safer. For the Pyramid country, it is urgent to expand its underwater power. After all, they now only have four 033 submarines imported from China, which are too old. up.

The first choice, of course, is the German 209 submarine, but that thing is too expensive!The economic strength of the pyramid country is not very strong. Although it is constantly developing its industry, it is actually an agricultural country. The most profitable export product is long-staple cotton.

Now, if a submarine with high quality and low price and good performance can be purchased from China, it is of course a dream.

"You still have submarines?"

"Of course, alas, everyone's eyes are attracted by our frigate model." Qin Tao was a little helpless: "So much so that no one pays attention to our submarine model. This is a displacement of 500 Multi-ton modern submarine."

While speaking, Qin Tao had brought everyone to the other corner of the booth, where there was a [-]:[-] submarine model.

The three-meter-long submarine model is actually not small in the entire defense exhibition. However, because the one-to-ten warship model is too eye-catching, the submarine model in front of him looks a little pocket-sized.

At this time, the officers of the Pyramid Kingdom were amazed immediately after seeing it.

"It's an underwater line!"

"That's right, it looks a bit like 209."

"No, it's very similar to the Kilo class!"

No way, this is a mixed product of 209 and Kilo class, so it looks similar to both, which also shows that the person in front of him is very good at submarines.

"Our submarine adopts an innovative design. Its front half is a single-hull structure, and the rear half is a double-hull structure. Need for a lot of space.”

Combination of East and West, brand new design!
"Are you so mature?" Someone immediately asked, just now Qin Tao belittled Hyundai Heavy Industries to nothing, but what about themselves?It's the first time that they designed their own submarine, right?

"Of course it is mature. We have hired designers with decades of design experience to lead the team. They have even designed many types of nuclear submarines. What problems can there be with conventional submarines?"

We are inexperienced, but we can invite experienced people to come.

In a word, the worries of these people were dispelled.

"The hairy one?" Mamish asked.

"It's not convenient for us to disclose this. Only after you place an order can we let you meet with the designer." Qin Tao said: "We know that Lao Maozi has to consider the needs of breaking the ice layer in the Arctic, so All of them are double-hulled submarines, but in other countries, there is no such demand, but double-hulled submarines still have many advantages, so we combined the strengths of various companies and innovated.”

"What's the benefit of designing this way?"

"There are many advantages. For example, the interior space is relatively spacious. In this submarine, we removed the hot berths for the submariners and ensured that each submariner has his own berth, and half of them are double berths."

The advantage, of course, is that there is a lot of space!
"Can the shell of this model be taken apart?"

"Only the front can be disassembled, because the rear is double-layered." Qin Tao instructed his men to remove the front shell.

You can see the space layout of the torpedo cabin in the front, the upper crew cabin in the middle, and the battery cabin in the lower part, and there are even models of several people inside, which are really detailed enough.

"Excuse me, is this person made in proportion?"

"Of course, people are made according to the figure of 1.7 meters. You can see that there is still enough space above the head, which can make people live in it more comfortably. Even if they don't surface for a month, there will be no space. Depression."

Now the 033 submarine operated by the Pyramid Navy is too crowded inside and the headroom is not high enough. Therefore, some submariners will have psychological problems after living in it for a long time.

Submarine soldiers are paid comparable to pilots because they live in a harsh environment.

Making their lives more comfortable will be of great benefit to improving their combat effectiveness.

"Not surfacing for a month? Doesn't that seem unlikely? Are you talking about the snorkel status?"

"Of course not, I'm sorry, my expression was wrong." Qin Tao said: "The current model is not allowed, but after adding an additional cabin, there will be no problem."

Qin Tao said, waving to others: "Take apart the middle, and take out our additional compartment!"

Therefore, the people of Pyramid Country watched in amazement as several staff members pulled out the middle and rear position of the three-meter-long model abruptly, and then, from a box under the booth, it was taken out like a chef’s cutting board. Same thing, going to add it.

"what is this?"

"AIP compartment. Our submarine was designed with upgrade requirements in mind, and an AIP compartment can be added to it at any time. Through this compartment, the underwater endurance of the submarine can be greatly increased. !"

AIP compartment!It's amazing!

Everyone watched in amazement as the technicians lifted it up and installed it in the corresponding parts to form an elongated foreign trade submarine.

"What AIP technology is it using?" Mamish asked.

"After many investigations, we believe that the Stirling engine is the most suitable, so we adopted this power system to greatly enhance the underwater life of the submarine."

"Do you have Stirling engine technology?"

"Of course, in our country, research began in the 60s, and it has matured long ago. Although the power is not large, it is better in quietness. Anyway, the speed of the submarine cannot be fast if it wants to keep silent sailing. "

The crowd nodded.

Speaking of the Stirling engine used in domestic submarines, everyone can think that it is imported from abroad, but in fact, before importing, it has been developed in China for decades and has a solid foundation. The island country can only use the imported technology to the old, but the country is constantly developing.

What to develop?Power of course!

The power of the early V4-275R Stirling engine introduced by the Swedish Kokum Company was only 75 kilowatts (the other party also reserved it, and they used 110 kilowatts for their own use). After research and improvement in China, the new generation of Stirling engine produced by itself The power of the engine was increased to 162 kilowatts, and later, the second-generation product increased the power to 320 kilowatts.If you use four of them, you can reach a speed of more than ten knots underwater, which is definitely strong enough for a diesel-electric submarine.

Everyone in the Pyramid Country looked at it for a long time, and their saliva was about to flow out.

"For us, a modern submarine is very important. If the price of this submarine is right, we can purchase two. We would rather delay the purchase of frigates and purchase submarines first!"

Mamish made up his mind.

"Without the AIP section, it is 1.5 million U.S. dollars, and with the AIP section installed, it is 2 million U.S. dollars."

"This price is the same as the price of the German 209 submarine purchased by South Kimchi. Mr. Qin, your price is too high." Mamish couldn't help complaining.

"High? Where is it high?" Qin Tao shook his head: "Don't compare our submarine with the 209 submarine, otherwise we will think it is an insult to us."

"Think about it, what is the 209 submarine like? The one purchased by South Kimchi is 209-1200, with a displacement of just over a thousand tons. What about ours? After installing the AIP cabin, the displacement is close to [-] tons If calculated according to this level, our quotation of [-] million is a match, plus the AIP system, this submarine is worth [-] million, now, we only need [-] million, which is definitely worth the money!"

The price of this level of submarine is really not high. Of course, this is because the Mingzhou Group has not built a submarine before. This is just a test product, so they offered a preferential price to the other party.

If it weren't for Qin Tao's factors, those Kilo-class ships would cost three to four billion dollars.

The Pyramid people stopped talking.

"I'll give you some internal information. You can compare the submarines of other manufacturers, as well as their prices. Shop around. If you think ours is good, it's not too late to come and order from us." Qin Tao said generously.

After seeing off the group of people, Yang Dawei whispered into Qin Tao's ear, "Boss Qin, what if they really come to order our submarines? We don't have a coiling machine yet!"

"There is nothing to worry about. Even if we don't have a bending machine for the time being, we can ask other brother factories for help, and just pay them the processing fee. Besides, the people of the Pyramid Kingdom have never bought things neatly. Wait until they are completely It may be half a year or even a year before we make up our minds, and by then, we will have all the submarine manufacturing equipment in place.”

The first day of the defense exhibition finally came to an end. Qin Tao looked at his subordinates who had been busy all day: "Everyone has worked hard, let's go to No. [-] Hutong!"

No. [-] Hutong, a gourmet street in the capital of Malaysia!Everyone immediately shouted long live.

Xu Zhengyang frowned, Mr. Qin, your safety is very important, can we not go to crowded places?However, Xu Zhengyang had no choice but to go along with the other people looking so excited.

The sun was setting gradually, and No. [-] Hutong was very lively.

When everyone had chosen the delicacies they wanted and sat down to wait, Qin Tao continued to say: "Let's go to Alor Street tomorrow, come out, we must work well, and we must also eat and drink well."

"Boss Qin, are you going tomorrow?"

"Yes, if I don't put bait, how can the fish take the bait?"

Xu Zhengyang felt a chill in his heart, Mr. Qin, isn't the other party just trying to use beauty tricks?It's fine if we don't get fooled, but you are actually going to take the initiative to fish?Are you really interested in that mermaid?

"Following that mermaid, we may be able to dig out more people behind it, and then ask the comrades on the secret front to take action. The revenge of the last time has not been avenged." After eating and drinking, he returned to the land where he lived. , Qin Tao said to Xu Zhengyang who was driving.

Xu Zhengyang's eyes lit up immediately, that's right, although a group of people were dug out last time to solve the huge hidden danger, it was not enough!
"President Qin, for your safety, we can't do it right away. We need to keep an eye on them and do it after a while."

"That's natural. I don't want to have a sniper rifle pointed at my head all the time. I'm just a shipbuilder, not a soldier."

Back at the residence, it was already eight or nine o'clock. Wu Shengli looked at Qin Tao and said with emotion: "Your Mingzhou Group is really open, and you take this time as a tour. The other groups, after returning, are all in Summarize, analyze potential customers, and prepare for the next move. Are you actually going shopping?"
