Great warships

Chapter 359 The native chicken wants to buy the blueprint?
The huge An-225 transport plane has been parked at the Capital International Airport of Malaysia for two or three days, attracting many people to wait and see every day. When seeing its huge body, the captains of other airliners suddenly felt My own plane is not fragrant.

"Look, the monster is moving!"

On this day, someone suddenly discovered that the plane began to move slowly, and it was actually heading towards the runway under the drive of the tractor.

In an instant, the entire airport was boiling. Many passengers left the terminal building and went to the lawn outside to find a suitable place to watch the plane.

It moved very slowly. On the way forward, it even stopped for more than an hour, waiting for the plane in front of it to get out of the way. It took a full three hours to reach the end of the runway.

When the six engines started, its roar could be felt throughout the airport, and the sound was deafening.

The huge body slid on the runway, accelerated, and finally left everyone's sight.

"It's a spectacular sight!"

"It's almost like a giant is taking off!"

"What is it going to do?"

"That's right, this plane is from China, transporting equipment for the defense exhibition. Now, the defense exhibition is not over yet!"

The news of An-225's take-off spread quickly, even to the defense exhibition, and several reporters came to interview Qin Tao.

Facing the camera, Qin Tao said generously: "Our An-225 transport aircraft is currently undertaking an international cargo transportation business. This aircraft has unique advantages. It has a large capacity, is efficient and fast, and can transport all kinds of long For bulky items, the shipping fee is currently tentatively set at US$12 per hour, and customers who need An-225 from all over the world are welcome to come to discuss transportation business.”

Today's Mingzhou Group relies on the An-225 transport aircraft to continue to maintain its aura.

That night, everything went on as usual, and we wandered in a different street. After returning, Qin Tao received everyone's envious eyes again.

"Everyone, don't look at me with such admiring eyes." Qin Tao said: "Our company spent [-] million US dollars to purchase the aircraft, of course it is for commercial operation. If you are interested, you can also buy it."

What to buy, is this the only one in the world?

"Tell me, will Ermao regret seeing how profitable this plane is?" someone asked.

"What regrets? They should feel lucky. This plane will be reborn only after it is in the hands of our Mingzhou Group. If it is still with Da Mao, it must have been completely broken into pieces by now." Qin Tao said: " I was the one who flew this plane around to promote the strength of the Antonov Design Bureau."

Qin Tao is very proud.

Without myself, this An-225, there would be no new life.

"Tomorrow is the last day, I don't know if we will gain anything tomorrow." Someone said.

Generally speaking, in the first few days of the defense exhibition, there are more people watching, and on the last day, it will change from watching to purchasing.After all, after this village, there is no such shop.

In the first three days, even if it was opening, it was a small fuss. Now, it depends on the last day.

Everyone is full of expectations.

"Yeah, if there is nothing to gain tomorrow, our trip will be in vain."

"Everyone, we didn't come here in vain. We came here to exhibit and let other countries understand our Chinese military industry."

Qin Tao originally planned to cheer up the big guys, but unexpectedly, he was despised by everyone, and in his eyes, he was clearly telling Qin Tao.

What do you mean by that?Standing and talking without back pain!

Therefore, Qin Tao could only shut up obediently. At this time, no matter what he said, it would be wrong. Alas, being invincible is loneliness.

The last day.

Qin Tao didn't stay up late, and he arrived on time that day. He was just sitting in the tent drinking tea when Xu Zhengyang walked in.

"Boss Qin, a group of Turkic Navy came outside, looking at our aircraft carrier model."

"Turkish country?" At this moment, Qin Tao felt his heart beating.

What a great opportunity!
For Varyag, Qin Tao has done a lot of foreshadowing work, and there is still one without a strategy, which is the country of chickens.After all, the location of the family is good, and any reason can delay Varyag's return to China by a year or so.

Now, since the Tuji Kingdom Navy came to them on their own initiative, they must be fooled.

Qin Tao stood up: "Go, go out and have a look!"

Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group went to Siam to successfully bid, designed and produced a [-]-ton aircraft carrier, and now it has been delivered to Siam, where Western avionics equipment is installed in Siam, preparing for the final sea trial.

Therefore, Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group also brought the model of this aircraft carrier, but Qin Tao did not report any hope. After all, in Asia, there are only a few countries that are capable of operating aircraft carriers.

Ah San will definitely not purchase from Mingzhou. The island country and the southern kimchi country can build it by themselves. Therefore, Qin Tao did not hold out hope, but just used it to make a big splash. Unexpectedly, this aircraft carrier actually attracted the navy of the Tuji country. Notice!
Tuji Country is a country that straddles the Eurasian continent. Most of its territory is in Asia, and it is also treated as an Asian country internationally. However, many models of this country are European, and Qin Tao did not expect that, The other party actually came to participate in the defense exhibition, and also expressed interest in their own aircraft carrier.

Now, Qin Tao almost trotted to the outside.

"Everyone is interested in our aircraft carrier? You can go inside and discuss it in detail." Qin Tao stretched out his hand: "I am the boss of Mingzhou Group."

"Hi, Mr. Qin. It's a great honor. I'm Xeniawin." The officer leading the team from the Tuji Kingdom said, "We've been paying attention to the aircraft carrier you built for Siam."

Sure enough, the other party was interested. After all, aircraft carriers are an irresistible temptation for many countries.

"Really? Then we are too honored. Come, take out the aircraft carrier model and send it to our tent!"

Qin Tao came out to receive them in person, and gave the soldiers of the Tuji Kingdom enough face. After entering the tent, Qin Tao was still very enthusiastic: "If you are interested in this aircraft carrier, we can continue to communicate in depth. Its biggest feature is that it is cheap. , as long as the price of a frigate, you can get an aircraft carrier."

"President Qin, it is said that you have equipped the Siamese Navy with a batch of Yak-38?"

This matter cannot be hidden. After all, after training, some Siamese pilots have flown the Yak-38 back to conduct more intensive flight tests in Siam.

"Your statement is wrong. What we provide to the Siamese Navy is our own J-31 fighter. Although it is very similar to the Yak-38, it is not."

Although the domestic J-31 is a newly developed model and an upgraded product of the Jacques-141, in order to deceive people, this improved version of the Jacques-38 is also named J-31.The big deal is to add another suffix to the improved model in the future.

Qin Tao's statement made the naval officers of the Tuji Kingdom stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"Yes, our statement is wrong." Senyawin said: "We have observed that this fighter can take off from the Chakri aircraft carrier by ski jumping, which can also meet our needs. , I wonder how many planes like this you still have?"

"Thirty or fifty should be fine." Qin Tao said, "But it will take time."

Seniyawin nodded: "Okay, no problem, let's talk about the aircraft carrier. We don't plan to order an aircraft carrier from you. We just want you to provide the design drawings. Please open one for us." appropriate price."

Just blueprints?
Qin Tao's heart is like a bright mirror.

The country of chickens is also a country with ideals. They will never be satisfied with outsourcing. Once possible, they would like to produce by themselves.

"With all due respect, with your technology, it is impossible to produce an aircraft carrier by yourself."

"Why?" The faces of the people present changed, and many of them even became angry. This is Chi Guoguo's contempt. Why can't they create a country of chickens?
"Because of the high-strength steel plates used on it, you can't make them yourself." Qin Tao said: "Especially the flight deck, even if it doesn't need to withstand the impact of landing, it needs at least a yield of more than [-] MPa."

The deck of an aircraft carrier needs high-strength steel. If a [-] to [-]-ton carrier-based aircraft lands during a normal landing, it needs to withstand a very strong impact. Steel plates with a yield of [-] to [-] MPa are needed to meet the needs.

Those that fall vertically don't need to bear such a high strength, but they must be more than [-] MPa.

Ordinary countries cannot produce it.

Of course, the chicken country can't do it either.

"We can import!" Senyawin was firm.

Qin Tao nodded: "Well, if you can import similar steel plates from the West and obtain the corresponding welding technology, then everything else will be fine. After all, the rest of this warship is made of civilian ships. The construction technology, you have the ability."

"So, you agreed to sell us the drawings of the Chakri?"

"Well, it is still difficult. After all, we built the Chakri aircraft carrier for Siam. If we sell the blueprint to you, it means disloyalty to Siam. They will come to us It’s troublesome, we still have more deals with them, and we don’t want to lose more business because of the blueprints, after all, you are only buying blueprints, while Siam is buying warships.”

I don't need to offend a big client for a small business!Qin Tao spoke very straightforwardly.

"Then Qin always rejected us?"

"of course not."

Qin Tao said with a smile: "Besides, I think that a [-]-ton aircraft carrier like Siam is not suitable for you. Your Tuji country is a big country. Since you want to board an aircraft carrier, the displacement must be enlarged. I I believe that a displacement of [-] to [-] tons is already the smallest, and it is more reliable to operate. You can see how many aircraft carriers with a displacement of [-] tons are operating in the world? If it is too small, it would be shameful to drive it out. Let's go!"

The "Prince of Asturias" aircraft carrier, the Garibaldi aircraft carrier, and the Chakri aircraft carrier are the only three aircraft carriers with a [-]-ton class in the world, not to mention the other helicopter carriers.

These aircraft carriers only have a displacement of more than 1 tons, resulting in low operating efficiency of the aircraft carrier. They can only operate a dozen fighter jets. In actual combat, the use effect is not good.

Moreover, it has no face, and people will laugh at it when it is driven out.

The latter sentence hit the heart of these people.

People in the native country have a good face, how can they open an aircraft carrier of more than 1 tons and go out to make people laugh?

"President Qin, what do you mean, you want to design a new type of aircraft carrier with a displacement of [-] to [-] tons?"

"Yes." Qin Tao nodded: "For you, an aircraft carrier of [-] to [-] tons should be the most suitable, the number of carrier-based aircraft that can be operated on it will exceed [-], and the combat capability will be greatly improved. "

"If that's the case, why don't we just buy the drawings of the British Invincible-class aircraft carrier?" An officer present said.

"Of course it's because the Invincible-class aircraft carrier was designed decades ago, and it's long behind." Qin Tao said: "Their operating efficiency is not high, and the full-load displacement has just reached 2.8 tons. The aircraft carrier in China must have a full load displacement of more than [-] tons, such as [-] tons, so that it will be more convenient to arrange, and the method is completely different from theirs."

Speaking of aircraft carriers, Qin Tao was eloquent: "The lifespan of an aircraft carrier is very long, such as three to 40 years. In contrast, the lifespan of a carrier-based aircraft is very short, at most 20 years, and there will be more With the emergence of powerful carrier-based aircraft, the design of aircraft carriers must be ahead of schedule. Currently, ski-jump take-offs and intercepted landings have become a trend. If we want to design for you, it will be such a brand-new aircraft carrier. "

"The bow of the ship has a flying deck, and at the same time, there is an angled deck on the left side, which can not only meet the take-off and landing of our J-31 fighter jets, but also can be used as a conventional take-off and landing plan for aircraft with more advanced performance in the future. Even, a special place can be reserved on the angled deck to prepare for the installation of catapults in the future.”

"If the catapult takes off, it only has a displacement of 2.8 tons. I'm afraid it's not enough?"

"Why is it not enough? Isn't this kind of aircraft carrier about the same size as the Clemenceau? Take a look, does the Clemenceau have this arrangement?"

"Also, the technology of catapults is also constantly improving. Have you heard of electromagnetic ejection?"

"Electromagnetic catapult? Something out of Star Wars?"

"That's right, it's from Star Wars. However, many of them still have a theoretical basis. Electromagnetic catapult is one of them. When the technology matures in the future, if you replace it with an electromagnetic catapult, you will be able to take off larger aircraft." .”

"If it has such a displacement, how should it choose its power system?"

"Yeah, as an aircraft carrier, it must have a high speed, right?"

"You can burn boilers. Look at the American aircraft carrier. Isn't it also burning boilers?" Qin Tao said, "We can design corresponding boilers and provide you with matching equipment. Of course, if you think boilers are too troublesome, you can also Use gas turbines, American ones, British ones, as long as you can buy them, we can make a complete set, four is not enough to use six, and the speed can always meet the standard."

If you don't need a boiler, you can only use a gas turbine.

Speaking of gas turbines for ships, the British are really the bosses. The gas turbines modified by Spey back then became the preferred power for warships in many countries. When Spey developed to the end, it also had a power close to 30 megawatts. Later, MT30 , and is even more powerful enough to output forty megawatts of power.

It is precisely because of this kind of confidence that the British still use gas turbines as power on their [-] to [-]-ton aircraft carriers, and they also engage in all-electric propulsion. Thumbs up.

If you don't need a boiler, you have to use a gas turbine. Whoever you use depends on the coordination of the country itself.

Hearing what Qin Tao said, the people present became thoughtful.

That's right, they dislike boiler-burning warships, but do they have a choice?

Even if they had the right gas turbines, would they be able to afford them?
"Just now, everyone also talked about the problem of our J-31. If your aircraft carrier assumes that this aircraft is used as a carrier-based aircraft, we can guarantee a service life of about ten years, and then we have to choose other carrier-based aircraft. Yes, therefore, the aircraft carrier must have an angled deck, so that it can adapt to the subsequent interception and landing, and at the same time, it also needs to have a high enough speed, and the boiler is a relatively good choice. Of course, this is our suggestion."

"Well, we choose the boiler."

"In this case, it is equivalent to redesigning an aircraft carrier. Do you have the capability?"

It can't be blamed for their doubts. After all, they only intend to buy the design drawing of the Chakri. This design drawing is mature because it has already been built, but what about the new aircraft carrier?
Does Mingzhou Group have this experience?

A smile appeared on Qin Tao's face: "It's not wrong to be ignorant, but it's not good to expose your ignorance. I wonder if you have heard the rumors that Dazhou Company slandered us?"

The guy who was despised by Qin Tao lowered his head.

"The slander of Dazhou Company? I've heard of it." Sure enough, if someone is stepped on, someone will be praised. This guy who knows is very happy.

"At the beginning, Dazhou Company bought the Minsk and wanted to convert it into an aircraft carrier. It bid with your Mingzhou Group and spent 8000 million yuan. Later, Dazhou Company closed down. It is said that your company is digging a hole, and there are rumors that Dazhou Zhou Company even spent 2000 million to purchase design drawings from you!"

Dazhou Company actually purchased aircraft carrier blueprints from Mingzhou Group?Or refit the Minsk?

Everyone present was stunned by this statement.

"Oh, our company has been slandered too much. It is obvious that their Dazhou company was not well managed and was forced to close down in the end, and the result is still on our heads." Qin Tao shook his head angrily: "However, our company's design team , The technical strength is still very strong. We designed the Chakri from scratch and won the contract from Siam, which is enough to show our technical strength. Therefore, this 2.8-ton aircraft carrier, of course we I also have the confidence to design well.”

This kind of thing can be understood by heart, and it must not be said.

At this time, when Qin Tao said this, he gave the other party the impression that the design was designed by us!Our design team is awesome!
"So, if you are hired to do the design, how much will it cost?"

"The old price, 2000 million."

The old price, which is also implied, is the same as the price given to Dazhou Company, but this has attracted dissatisfaction from other people.

"Is it too expensive?"

"That's right, that is, if it's at this price, we might as well find another company to design it!"

"Yes, England, France, and even the United States."

"Everyone, if you can find other companies to do the design, surely we won't be able to do it?" Qin Tao said: "Our asking price is 2000 million, which is already very low. Other companies, at least 5000 million."

Needless to say, 2000 million, 5000 million. At the beginning, I sold a design drawing of a frigate without air defense missiles and power system for 8000 million. You guys are really stingy enough. Don't want your horses to eat grass?
Qin Tao knew what these people were thinking.

The Tuji Kingdom has long exposed their true nature in the arms purchases again and again. They take advantage of both sides, take advantage of each other, and even ask for technology at every turn. During the transaction process, all kinds of moths come out. They are the most shameless and do business with them. , might as well not do it.

Why are these guys here?Isn't it because Qin Tao is the most suitable here?
These people stopped talking.

"I have already told you the design idea. If you have this idea, then trade now. We are paying the price of the defense exhibition. After today, if you entrust us again, the price will increase by at least 50.00% .”

Still want to bargain?No way, if you don't make up your mind quickly, we will increase the price!
"Actually, for us, selling design drawings is just a small business. It doesn't matter whether we can make it into Chengdu or not. You probably know that when we sell ten fishery administration boats, that's a big deal of [-] million US dollars."

Now of course it's a seller's market!Qin Tao created such an atmosphere for the opponent.

If you want to buy, then act fast.

"Then, if your design drawings are not satisfactory to us, we have the right to propose amendments."

"It's okay to modify it, just increase the price."

"Your side is so insincere, then we can only apologize."

"Okay, then I'll send you off."

Originally, Seniawin wanted to pretend to leave to create favorable conditions, but who would have thought that Qin Tao would not keep him at all!

He stood up, thought for a moment, then sat back down.

"Mr. Qin, we are very sincere, and hope that you can take care of our feelings."

"The price can never be changed." Qin Tao said: "The deposit is 50.00%. After we produce the drawings, we will hand over the rough design drawings to you first. You pay the remaining 50.00%, and we will give you a full set of design drawings. .We are also very sincere.”

Nima, is this called sincerity?This is clearly called distrust, okay?

"However, if we can sign the contract today, we can give you a J-31 fighter as a gift."

Gift a plane?
Senyawin immediately became excited.

With an aircraft carrier, there must be a carrier-based aircraft. The Sea Harrier is an alternative, as is the Yak-38. If they can get one in advance, they can test it in advance!
"Okay, let's make a deal!"

Seniawin finally agreed.
