Great warships

Chapter 362 Experiment No. [-] Marine Scientific Research Vessel

"President Qin, if we do this, will Big Mao become suspicious of us?" After leaving the Naval Academy, Xu Zhengyang couldn't help asking Qin Tao.

"What do you suspect?" Qin Tao said, "The brand-new boiler we provided worked fine, and there was nothing wrong with it. The boiler they refurbished by themselves finally blew up. It must be because of their poor craftsmanship. It has nothing to do with our refractory bricks." After it blows up, they will definitely come to us to order a brand new boiler, so that we can make another fortune, and Ah San will pay for it anyway.”

What Qin Tao said was irresponsible at all, but he was so righteous.

Xu Zhengyang already knew Qin Tao's style of doing things, so he didn't feel too much shock. Such rhetoric is indeed okay.

Why use it for civilian use?cheap!Qin Tao is a businessman, not a philanthropist.

"Boss Qin, where are you going next?"

"Xiao Ling, take her home."

"Ok."

Since Xiaoling became pregnant, Qin Tao's enthusiasm for work has decreased a lot. As long as he has time, he will stay with Huating to accompany his wife.

Therefore, when Qin Tao came to the well-guarded design institute and the design room transformed from the spacious drawing room, he did not arouse others' surprise, because he has long been a frequent visitor here.

Zhao Ling's belly was already distended. She was wearing a special maternity dress bought by Qin Tao, and she was sitting on a chair. Her appearance was very strange.

On the computer screen in front of her, a string of characters danced.

However, she didn't sit there for too long. In order to prevent the child in her belly from being wronged, she would stand up and move around after a while.

Just when she stood up to move around, she saw a familiar figure approaching, so she smiled like a flower.

"You came?"

"Well, I'll take you home."

"Wait a little longer. I'll finish this part of the design."

So, Qin Tao looked at the screen: "Is this modifying the control program of the missile?"

"That's right, the hardware modification has been completed. As long as the program is modified, the test firing can be carried out." Zhao Ling said: "I don't know if this modification will come out first, or our child will come out first."

As she spoke, she covered her stomach.

"Of course our children will come out first. Don't worry about this modified missile." Qin Tao was very irresponsible.

"At the International Defense Exhibition, the model of the foreign trade frigate was very popular!" Zhao Ling looked at Qin Tao and said, "You have successfully attracted the attention of the whole world."

"Well, what we want is this kind of sensational effect. Although we haven't received an order yet, it won't be long before customers may come to our door." Qin Tao said.

As long as Zhao Ling doesn't mention the female reporter, everything will be fine.

"We observed that your model uses a square launcher and thermal launch technology."

Qin Tao was about to nod subconsciously, and then thought of something: "You want to improve the launcher? This is unnecessary. The current launcher, let's make do with it, and we'll talk about it later."

The Hongqi-16 has been successfully developed. The 054 frigate under construction plans to carry the prototype Hongqi-16 missile. The biggest feature of this missile is that it uses the same cold launch method as the S-300, with a circular launch tube. .

However, in the foreign trade model, a square launcher is used!
"Why do we have to make do? We have decided to research related technologies so that our missiles can also be thermally launched." Zhao Ling looked at Qin Tao: "If you want to achieve generalization in the future, thermal launch is an inevitable choice. "

"Lao Maozi has already been researching related technologies. Wouldn't it be better for us to use them directly after they research them?" Qin Tao said, "Is your research funding too high?"

Zhao Ling nodded.

Is there really too much to spend?
"We can't always follow the path of copycats. We have to develop positively, so that we can not only know what's going on, but also know why." Zhao Ling insisted.

So Qin Tao nodded: "Okay, okay, okay, you are right, if you want to study it, you can study it, I will not interfere."

Mr. Qin has changed his sex?In the past, he was arbitrary!Xu Zhengyang, who was on the side, felt Qin Tao's changes.

At this moment, Qin Tao's eldest brother rang loudly.

"Hey, who is it? Dad?"

"Okay, got it, got it, I'll take Xiaoling back right now."

Zhao Ling raised her head in surprise.

"Our dad is here, waiting for us to go home for dinner. Let's do this job tomorrow."

Qin Tao resumed his previous arbitrariness.

"Okay." Zhao Ling compromised.

When he got home, a large table of meals had already been prepared. Qin Tao moved his index finger and grabbed the chopsticks.

"Dad, why are you here? You still cooked so many dishes today? Are you celebrating Brother Tao's triumphant return?"

Hearing his daughter's words, Wu Shengli was a little unhappy: "What do you call celebrating Taozi's triumphant return? I also have my share in going to Malaysia to participate in the defense exhibition."

"Dad, that's different. Brother Tao is going to sell equipment, and he has signed a lot of orders. You are just visiting there."

"Xiaoling, what you said is wrong. Dad went as the person in charge of the entire team. Our Mingzhou Group can sell so much equipment. First of all, it is because of Dad's leadership. Come, Dad, let me toast you!"

"Taozi, are you complimenting me? Why didn't I hear it right?" Wu Shengli looked at his son-in-law.

"Of course it's an exaggeration. Come on, Dad, have a drink!"

"Let's get down to business first." Wu Shengli said, "Taozi, today's delicious meal is not only to celebrate the victory of our Mingzhou Group, but also to see you off."

"See you off? I don't plan to go out recently!" Qin Tao looked at the old man with some puzzlement.

"Have you forgotten? Some time ago, I told you that we are going to send a scientific research ship to investigate the southern waters and see which island is better to build first."

Qin Tao nodded quickly: "I haven't forgotten, how can such a thing be forgotten?"

Qin Tao really forgot that the whole project was proposed by Qin Tao, so now, Qin Tao's name is also included in the inspection team. Of course, if he doesn't want to go, then he definitely won't will embarrass him.

want to go?Of course I did!

He had heard for a long time that the soldiers guarding the reef there had a hard life, and Qin Tao wanted to see it with his own eyes. Moreover, site selection was too important, so if Qin Tao could get involved, of course he had to get involved.

"Tomorrow, the No. [-] scientific research ship will set off. Take advantage of the fact that there is no bad weather in the southern waters during this period, and complete the task as soon as possible." Wu Shengli said, "This scientific research ship will start from Huating. Then we can set off with the scientific research ship."

Qin Tao shook his head.

"Why, you don't want to go?"

"I really want to go, but don't be in such a hurry. The scientific research ship has a speed of more than ten knots, and it only runs two to three hundred nautical miles a day. It will take four or five days to reach the southern waters. When the ship passes Hainan Island, it’s not too late for me to board the ship.”

Qin Tao is very straightforward: "I am the boss of Mingzhou Group. I usually have a lot of things to do. How can I waste time on the road?"

These words made Wu Shengli speechless, and it would definitely not work for Qin Tao to dangle slowly on the scientific research boat.Qin Tao said this because he wanted to stay with Zhao Ling in Huating for a few more days, so it was because he didn't think carefully.

"Okay, it's up to you."

"By the way, Dad, we have already completed the design plan for the naval warship stationed in the Oriental Pearl Tower. When are you free, we can report to you?"

Wu Shengli swept Qin Tao dissatisfiedly, hum, this task was arranged for you years ago, and you are only planning to report to me now, you don't take this seriously at all!
"Some time ago, we have been busy with the defense exhibition. It is estimated that the leaders of the Navy don't have the time to listen." Qin Tao said, "So I didn't bother you. After our continuous revision during this period, the plan has been completely mature. , if you need..."

Wu Shengli still did not speak.

"This kind of warship is not difficult. In our shipyard, it can be built in less than a year. Therefore, it will definitely not delay our navy's stationing in the Oriental Pearl Tower."

"Do you think that if you don't have a design fee, you don't want to do it?"

It turns out that the crux of the matter is here!Qin Tao smiled: "This kind of warship has no technical content at all. Our design department only needs a few boys to practice..."

"Practice? Well, for a project that is so important to the Navy, how many young men did you find to practice?"

"Dad, don't criticize me. I mean, we don't need the design fee."

"Hmph, that's about the same."

Zhao Ling smoothed things over: "Today, the pickled vegetables and meat are good. Eat it, everyone, eat it quickly. Are you hungry? The children in my stomach are hungry."

"Yes, yes, eat quickly!" Zhao Xiu'e also hurriedly urged.

Qin Tao's heart is the same as that of Mingjing. Although the state has allocated more funds to the navy in the past two years, the navy has also had more projects. Therefore, the money will never be enough. My old man just wants to play tricks and give less Want some money?Can't you just say it?

The original 037 is the established equipment of the Oriental Pearl Navy. It is definitely impossible for the above to allocate special funds for the design fee. To put it bluntly, Mingzhou Group provides the design for free. Just do it for nothing.

Qin Tao doesn't care. The current Mingzhou Group doesn't like these three melons, but it's not meaningful for his father-in-law to say that.

Of course, in the face of his father-in-law's suppression, Qin Tao has no other temper, and he has to accept it with a smile. Who makes him Zhao Ling's father?

the next day.

At the port, the experimental marine scientific research ship No. [-] left slowly.

Experiment No. 79 marine scientific research vessel, built in 81 and delivered in [-], is an advanced scientific research vessel.

It has advanced navigation and positioning system, collision avoidance device, Mark III temperature, salt and depth detection system, towed body system, multi-bottle water collection system, ocean optical multi-parameter measuring instrument, polarograph, 956-meter depth sounder, [-] direction waves Buoys, wave riders, plankton collectors, underwater TV systems, benthic trawls and other marine comprehensive survey equipment.

In order to complete various scientific experiments, it also has a 3-ton crane, a 10-ton hydraulic gantry and two large winches. Degree, depth, automatic observation and record related data.

同时，这艘考察船和南部海域也有很深的渊源，在1984年7月、1985年6月和1986年4月，实验3号科学考察船就前往南部海域，进行了3个航次的海洋学综合科学考察，在1987到1990年又进行了4个航次的海上考察。

Therefore, this inspection will not attract anyone's extra attention.

Just after the research ship left, at the naval base in Huating, a group of naval officers were listening to the report of the Mingzhou Group.

Qin Tao has long been a shopkeeper, and this kind of reporting task is Yang Dawei's job.

"Let's look at the overall design first. It adopts a deep V and long bridge ship shape. This design not only has good seaworthiness, but also provides a larger hull space. The appearance adopts a stealth design, the hull floats outside, and the superstructure The inclination forms a broken line running through the front and back of the hull, and after our detailed design, when it sails at high speed, the hull can be lifted to a certain extent, thereby reducing the draft area and reducing resistance.”

Everyone nodded.

Even 054, when designing, only partially considered the requirements of stealth, but did not have all the stealth capabilities. For example, from the side of the warship, you can still see all kinds of equipment.

However, the side of this warship in front of me has been completely wrapped, and it looks like a Lavant-class frigate, and it also looks like a cruise ship.

Except for the two twin-mounted anti-ship missiles standing in front of the chimney, which looked a bit abrupt, everything else was smooth.

Such a warship, from the outside, is still very beautiful.

"In terms of materials, in order to reduce the weight, we decided to use aluminum alloy. We have already had a lot of successful experience on the 022 missile boat. The overall hull of the warship is made of high-strength steel, especially the bow. We will use Steel with a yield of [-] MPa."

"Why?" Someone asked a question: "In this case, I'm afraid it will increase the construction cost?"

It's just a thousand-ton frigate. Can this material be used?
"It's very necessary. Our ships are mainly used for offshore defense. In some missions, they may need to bayonet their opponents." Qin Tao interjected.

This new type of frigate is not only intended to be used by the garrison of the Oriental Pearl Tower, but will also replace other missile boats and light frigates in the future and become the main force of offshore patrols. However, it is inconvenient to use weapons during missions, so it needs to Make a bang.

Therefore, the bow of the ship needs to be made of high-strength materials, and even in the future, when necessary, a special ram can be installed to see if the opponent is afraid.

Wu Shengli nodded: "That's a good idea."

Yang Dawei continued to introduce.

"As for its anti-aircraft missiles, we have deployed them at the rear. At present, the Sea Sidewinder system is more suitable."

"Why not deploy in front like our current frigates?"

"With all due respect, it is unscientific to deploy at the front. When the missile is launched, the violent smoke will cause people on the bridge to lose their ability to observe for a short time, while at the rear, there will be no such effect. "Qin Tao continued to introduce: "Besides, if it is deployed in the front, a lot of deck area will be wasted, and the bridge space behind us will be reduced. You can see that the characteristic of our warship is that it is low. Only by the length of the superstructure can there be enough space."

The crowd nodded.

The design of this warship is subversive and completely different from the previous ones. However, after such an analysis, the design is still very scientific.

An hour passed and all the presentations were done.

"The characteristic of this warship is that air defense, anti-submarine, and anti-ship performance are relatively balanced. If we want to deliberately strengthen a certain function, we need to make corresponding improvements. In short, although this warship is specially designed for the Pearl of the Orient However, I believe that in the future, the navy will purchase a large number of such warships, even hundreds of them. Our motherland has a long coastline and requires a large number of low-end warships to guard."

"Hundreds of ships, how much would that cost?" Someone couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Everyone should believe in our motherland. In the future, our navy will have more and more funds. Our navy should not only have a large number of high-performance warships, especially Aegis warships, but also a large number of offshore patrol ships. This kind of warship will definitely be in great demand.”

"Yes." Wu Shengli nodded: "We will go to the ocean in the future, but we have to guard the door of our own house. But now, our order is just one, and we will build it first for emergency."

This cannot be said to be a dark-box operation by the navy. After all, the plans submitted by various shipyards cannot be seen by them at all. It is still the Mingzhou Group's plan, which makes people very satisfied. of.

Moreover, as far as the order for one ship is concerned, other shipyards can't say anything.

"This warship is very different from the previous warships. I think it can be given a new number. Now it's 055's turn?"

Hearing what the on-site leader said, Qin Tao quickly shook his head: "No, no, it's just this one, what number do you need? Just give the ship a name."

What is 055?A big drive of [-] tons!If it becomes this kind of [-]-ton frigate, Qin Tao will feel very sorry.

Therefore, he strongly opposed it.

There is only such a ship, why form a series alone?
Our frigate has changed so many models, isn't it all called 053?Just such a ship, does it need a lot of fanfare?
Wu Shengli stared at Qin Tao. Intuitively, he felt that Qin Tao had some special ideas. However, if only one ship is built now, it seems that there is no need to form a separate series.

"Let's talk about the numbering later."

Qin Tao breathed a sigh of relief.

The meeting was over, and the day's work was considered over. Qin Tao planned to go to his wife again, but Wu Shengli stopped him.

"Taozi, giving a brand new number should be something that will make your Mingzhou Group very proud." Wu Shengli said, "Why would you refuse this number? Besides, you also said that this kind of warship will be produced in the future." Hundreds of ships."

"I think the number 055 is very good, and it can be reserved for our 056-ton large drive in the future." Qin Tao said honestly: "In the future, after this offshore frigate needs to be built in large quantities, I will give it a [-] number." Number, how is it?"

Wu Shengli looked at Qin Tao seriously, trying to see a trace of teasing on Qin Tao's face, but he didn't see anything.

"Why is the number 055 good? I think you're picking and choosing. You think the number 056 is better, right?"

"Dad, it's fine if you want to think so." Qin Tao simply acquiesced, we just fell in love with the number 056, what's the matter?

"By the way, at the defense exhibition this time, your group sold more than a dozen catamarans, the largest of which is more than 1000 tons, and the supporting water jet propulsion. Do you have a plan?"

"In the contract, there is no requirement to use water jet propulsion at all. Why should we bother? If we use it ourselves, it must be water jet propulsion. For foreign customers, propellers will do." After Qin Tao answered, suddenly What came to mind: "We want it too?"

"In the future, our fishery administration department will indeed have this demand!"

"Then don't worry, after next year, the year after, maybe there will be, Dad, is there anything else?"

Qin Tao left, and continued to play the role of a husband who loves his wife.

Wu Shengli looked at Qin Tao's figure and smiled helplessly. It is very rare for a group boss to spend so much time with his pregnant wife.

A few days later.

Experiment No. 3000, with a displacement of more than [-] tons, has sailed to the southern waters.

From the appearance, it is somewhat similar to a cruise ship, with a three-story building on the upper part of the hull, but it also carries a large number of scientific instruments, so the internal space is very small, and there is no helicopter landing platform.

On the bridge, Cao Yong, an experienced veteran captain, said to his companions beside him: "Old Chen, I just received a telegram that the helicopter that Mr. Qin is on will fly over soon. The superior asked us to prepare for Mr. Qin's arrival." !"

"At the beginning, we said we would go together, but Mr. Qin had something to do temporarily. Really, we don't have a helicopter take-off and landing platform on board, how will Mr. Qin come here? Are we going to prepare to release the lifeboat?"

On the scientific research ship, Chen Rong, the chief scientist of this mission and senior engineer of the Institute of Oceanography, was a little worried.

"The above said that Mr. Qin has experience and can climb down the rope ladder. We don't have to worry about it. After that, as long as we keep the sailing smooth, we have the most space in the bow of the ship, so let Mr. Qin come down to the bow."

"Okay, then I'll go to the bow to meet you." Chen Rong said, and walked off the bridge.

The deck at the bow is green, with a white observation mast standing upright. The space here is not too big. Chen Rong looked around worriedly. On the sea in the distance, a special ship attracted his attention.

The hull of that ship was very wide, and it sailed extremely smoothly. There were two pieces on both sides of it, which were inserted into the water. Although it was somewhat similar to the catamaran of the Mingzhou Group, it was not like it.

"Quick, give me the binoculars!" Chen Rong took the binoculars from the hands of the team members on the side, adjusted the focus, and the outline of the ship gradually became clear in the field of vision. Something, is falling into the sea.

"What is it doing? Could it be dropping sonar buoys?" At this moment, Chen Rong's expression was extremely ugly.
