Great warships

Chapter 526 Monster MAZ-7907
Qin Tao didn't say to keep these people in the East directly, but invited them to go to the East to have a look. After the International Defense Exhibition, these people can continue to stay, walk around, and meet old friends by chance. You should be able to accept it a little bit.

Although these people have nothing to do with shipbuilding, they are high-tech talents and military industry talents after all. They are urgently needed talents in the country, especially those who engage in armed helicopters. The Wuzhi [-] project has not yet started in China.

After the exchange, it was already late at night, and Qin Tao returned to his room, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

"Boss Qin, I feel that the people here are ruining their future. They have forced away so many excellent technicians. How can their technology develop?" Xu Zhengyang couldn't help but speak.

"Yeah, you're right, but the people here don't care, they only care about how many of their own people should account for, regardless of whether their own people have the ability, whether it's scientific research, education, medical care, these systems Here, with the increasing proportion of them, they have all started to change, they used to perform the world's first heart transplant operation, now?"

Now, even a common cold and fever may be misdiagnosed!
Fortunately, Glory Years had its own shipyard and used doctors from the east. When the workers in the shipyard fell ill, they could still receive timely and correct treatment.

Others, I really can't believe it.

Xu Zhengyang was also very emotional.

"President Qin, shall we go to Baimao next?"

Xu Zhengyang chatted again about the upcoming itinerary.

Qin Tao nodded.

"There doesn't seem to be anything good in Baimao's place?"

Qin Tao smiled: "Why not? Do you know where the Maz truck we used to take when we went to Lao Maozi's place?"

"Car? What does this have to do with Baimao?" Xu Zhengyang was a little curious, and suddenly thought of something: "Mr. Qin, you mean the Maz 543 missile launcher?"

Qin Tao nodded.

There are many gaps in the domestic military industry. Take the missile launcher as an example. The most advanced Dongfeng-21 missile in China is still in the form of a trailer. The various openings on the cylinder look like a boiler. .

The way of trailering is impossible to maneuver in the wild and can only rely on the road network. This method is obviously inappropriate.If you can have a multi-wheel drive off-road vehicle like Lao Maozi, and take Big Ivan over mountains and mountains, that would be called bullshit.

This time the international defense exhibition is going to be held, of course Baimao must be called over, no matter whether he buys it or not, as long as those large vehicles are brought over and displayed publicly, the momentum of the international defense exhibition can be strengthened.

Thinking of these large launch vehicles, even Xu Zhengyang was full of expectations.

Time was tight, so they went to visit the heads of various companies the next day, and after formally sending out invitations, they took a passenger plane the next night and set foot on the road to Baimao.

Qin Tao has left countless pairs of footprints on Lao Maozi's land, but this is the first time Minsk has come here.

Xu Zhengyang and others who were traveling with him also felt the difference.

"This place seems to have regained its vitality!" Sitting in the car, looking at the buildings and pedestrians on both sides of the street, Xu Zhengyang felt a strange feeling.It's completely different from Da Mao Er Mao's side.

They were greeted by people from the foreign affairs department. Xie Le heard Xu Zhengyang's emotion and immediately introduced: "Yes, after the collapse of the Red Empire, this place should be the first to recover."

"Why here?" Xu Zhengyang became even more curious.

"Because we have learned from us here, we have embarked on our characteristic market economy path." Xie Le said.

After the collapse of the Red Empire, all countries began to approach the West in a swarm. However, the facts have proved that this road will not work.

Big Mao is the worst. After listening to shock therapy in the West, he is really in shock now. Ermao can only sell weapons and equipment to make money. Therefore, Baimao (or Sanmao) became the first one to come out. .

They didn't learn from Da Mao and Er Mao, because Da Mao and Er Mao still couldn't take care of themselves, and they couldn't learn from the losers, so they aimed at the East.

In 94, after the new leader of Baimao came to power, the first thing he did was to visit the East. After returning, he began to reform. In the past two years, Baimao has undergone earth-shaking changes.

"However, at present, their economy still has a lot of shortcomings. Take their industries as an example. Except for the Minsk Vehicle Manufacturing Plant, which has the entire production chain, other industries need the cooperation of other countries. Those industries almost don't make sense right now."

Qin Tao nodded: "So, we can come here with friendship and let Baimao and us become real friends."

Come with friendship?

Xie Le looked at Qin Tao curiously. Although this was his first contact with Qin Tao, he had heard about it a long time ago. Mr. Qin of Mingzhou Group is flexible in thinking and full of tricks.Is this another good idea?

"Like other countries, heavy industry is developed here, but light industry is poor. We can cooperate with Baimao to establish a China-Belarus light industrial park and directly produce light industrial products here. They will be very satisfied."

Light industrial park?
Xie Le's eyes widened: "Can't we just export directly?"

Exports can create foreign exchange, and domestic employment opportunities can be increased. Therefore, if you can export, you can export. Why do you want to jointly open factories?
"Old Xie, the national conditions are different." Qin Tao said: "You also said that this place is learning from us and following our path, so you should know that this place is definitely not willing to purchase materials from the East in large quantities. Yes, if we can set up a factory here, we will definitely gain Baimao's trust and approval, even if we don't open a factory, other countries will come here to set up factories."

This is real friendship, Baimao will be ecstatic.

"A large amount of cotton is also grown here, so our domestic clothing companies can come in. For example, our eight wolves men's clothing is willing to come here to set up factories." I took a look and confirmed that it should be the eight wolves. The protagonist asked my mother to operate independently. If the city leaders refused, then they would pull out the backbone and establish the nine wolves brand.)
Qin Tao can't decide otherwise, but in this clothing business, he can directly make decisions for his old mother. Anyway, the eight wolves men's clothing has not entered the Baimao market. If they directly set up a factory here and occupy the Baimao market, then they can Made a ton of extra money.

Xie Le nodded: "Boss Qin, since you are the one who raised this opinion, after arriving at the Minsk Vehicle Manufacturing Plant, it is up to you to propose it, and it will be useless to sell this favor."

Xie Le has already become good friends with Baimao's people. Qin Tao is new here and needs to be recognized by the people here.

Qin Tao nodded: "OK."

The Minsk Vehicle Manufacturing Plant started construction in 1947 and was the main manufacturer of heavy-duty trucks, trailers, semi-trailers, and buses in the Red Empire.

As for the common name of Maz, it is the abbreviation of MAZ or Minsk Auto Zavod. This name is definitely no stranger to the East.

At this time, Qin Tao was also in a turbulent mood when he set foot on the Maz factory for the first time.

At the gate of the Maz Factory, a large group of officials were already waiting. Mikhailov, the leader of Minsk, and Radutka, the director of the Maz Factory, stood there, smiling and welcoming a group of people.

"Everyone, let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Qin of our Mingzhou Group. He came to visit Mazi Factory with friendship." Xie Le communicated with them in fluent Baimao language.

(I saw an introduction that speaking Baimao and Ermao is actually equivalent to the local language of Russian. It is the same as the difference between Mandarin and Cantonese here. I don’t know if it is true or not.)
"President Qin, this is Mr. Mikhailov, who works in the municipal government, and this is Mr. Radutka, the factory director."

Qin Tao stretched out his hand enthusiastically: "Very nice to meet you, Mr. Mikhailov, Mr. Radutka."

After shaking hands one by one, Qin Tao waved to Xu Zhengyang who was behind, so Xu Zhengyang took some small boxes and started delivering things to the leaders.

The box was very small, and everyone was a little curious. They didn't know what it was. Mikhailov, who got it first, stuffed it into his pocket, but Radujka was less reserved and opened it directly.

The sun was shining on the box, and it was dazzling inside.

"It's a diamond!" Radujka almost exclaimed. The diamond inlaid on the ring looks quite small!

Mikhailov was also surprised. He touched the small box in his pocket, but he still didn't open it, but it was scorching hot there.

This Boss Qin really is a good friend, and he spends a lot of money!

"President Qin, please come in." Radujka suppressed his excitement, put the small box back in his pocket, and then showed Qin Tao the way.

There is still a long way to go from the door to the factory building inside, and there is an open space overgrown with weeds outside. From a distance, you can see some scrapped vehicles lying there, two of which are particularly conspicuous.

Length, width, height, described in one word, that is big!
"Can we go over there first?" Qin Tao pointed to the vehicle over there.

there?

Radujka looked over, a little surprised, but also a little proud: "Of course, the two MAZ-7907s there are the largest vehicles ever produced by our Minsk vehicle factory!"

How big is it?You can count its wheels, one, two, three...twelve!
There are twelve wheels on one side, and they are not the wheels of road transport vehicles, but off-road tires with large treads. The specific diameter of each tire is unknown, but when the old man stood there, the tires Just reaching the position of the shoulders, you can imagine its hugeness.

If we talk about the data specifically, the length of this behemoth has reached 28 meters, the width is 4.1 meters, and the height is 4.4 meters.

"In the 80s, relevant departments began to manufacture the RT-23 intercontinental ballistic missile, which NATO named the SS-24 scalpel. This missile weighs 105 tons, is 22.6 meters long, and has a diameter of 2.4 meters. It can carry nine warheads at a time. The original At that time, this missile was deployed by silo and rail. However, in order to improve the survivability of this missile, the relevant departments planned to use TEL vehicles for land-based deployment. Our Minsk Vehicle Manufacturing Plant became its launch vehicle research and development plant. "

At this time, everyone walked into the grass, and Radujka made an introduction: "After accepting the mission, we immediately carried out research and development. Ten years ago, the prototype of this launch vehicle was manufactured by us. Now, although it looks like an enlarged version of the previous vehicle, in fact, in order to make it have better performance, we have made a lot of improvements."

Maz Factory has always been engaged in ballistic missile launching vehicles. Starting from the four-axle MAZ-543, there are more and more axles, and the weight that can bear is also increasing. So, should it be just widened, lengthened and heightened? Woolen cloth?
Of course not!After reaching a certain level, the complexity of the system will become larger and larger, and it will also bring more and more problems.

For example, the frame, after a certain length, may be twisted when turning. As for the transmission system, the efficiency will also be reduced due to the elongated body.

"In order to drive this big guy, we creatively used electric transmission." At this time, everyone had already walked up to the car, and Radujka was still eloquent.

Electric transmission is actually not a new technology. On diesel locomotives, electric transmission is used. The internal combustion engine drives the generator, and then the generator drives the motor on the wheels. The advantage of this is to avoid the design difficulties of the transmission system.

So is this car.

“它的每个车轮都由一台30千瓦功率的电动机驱动，共计24个电动机，也就是720千瓦功率。前四根车轴和最后四根车轴都具有转向能力。在8轴转向的加持下，这台28米长巨兽的转向半径仅为27米。”

Don't look too big, but the turning of this car is very flexible!
"Then its engine must be very powerful?" Qin Tao asked.

"Yes, we deliberately used the gas turbine, which is the one used on the T-80 tank." Radujka said: "During the test, it once ran out at a cross-country speed of 25 kilometers per hour."

It is already a common practice for Maz's missile launcher to use tank engines. The original MAZ-543 used the engine of the T-54 tank. After all, only the tank engine has enough horsepower.

As for other problems, the brutal and rough old Maozi doesn't care, even if it is a gas turbine!

The power of the gas turbine is large, and it also has excellent low-temperature start-up characteristics. It is very suitable for the vast frozen land of Lao Maozi, but the noise of the gas turbine is loud, just like on the runway, and the fuel consumption of the gas turbine is quite high. Oil monster!

The yellow front of the car is somewhat similar to a mine truck. It has a huge nose in the front and a tall ladder on the side. Years of rain erosion has made it full of vicissitudes.

"Can it still move?" Qin Tao asked.

"Of course no problem." Radujka said: "A few years ago, we used it to transport large items, such as locomotives and yachts... Mr. Qin, do you want to buy it back?"

That's right, Qin Tao really liked it.

At present, Mingzhou Shipyard is engaged in production in full swing. Inside the shipyard, there are a lot of materials that need to be transported, many of which are large-scale products. If these two missile launchers are modified, they can be perfect It's been transported!
Among other things, small yachts, missile boats, and the like can even be built in the rear. After the construction is completed, they can be directly dragged into the water by this kind of vehicle.

In short, in the field of large-scale transportation, this vehicle is a perfect match.

In terms of transportation capacity, one hundred tons does not seem to be high. You must know that domestic Steyr is the king of one hundred tons. This is definitely not for nothing. It often drags more than 100 tons or even two hundred tons of goods. That thing on the road is like a snail climbing. If it stops halfway when it encounters a small slope, it has to go back to the bottom of the slope.

What about the big guy in front of him?It refers to the ability to drag [-] tons of cargo around like flying. If the domestic loading method is used, not to mention [-] tons, [-] tons is possible.

Steyr's rated load capacity is only [-] tons, and it can pull up to [-] tons. According to this ratio, thousands of tons can be loaded!
Qin Tao was satisfied with the car, but he still shook his head.

Radutzka looked disappointed.

After the collapse of the Red Empire, these two vehicles once took on some transportation tasks, but it was only a flash in the pan. After all, it consumes too much gas! Customers would rather use other vehicles to transport slowly than take shortcuts with this vehicle, In a market economy, all customers must consider the cost.

So, these two afterglows of the empire, the largest missile launch vehicles in the world, just stayed in the open space of the factory, eating ashes silently.

It would be good for them if they could sell these two cars. They would clean up the junk and make money. Who would have thought that President Qin was originally interested, but now he shook his head again?
"President Qin, what's your dissatisfaction with these two cars?" Mikhailov asked.

"You said that it uses a gas turbine engine. After all these years of use, these engines have reached the end of their life?"

Hearing Qin Tao's question, Radujka couldn't hold back.

That's right.

Everything else is easy to say, the key is the engine!

This GTD-1250 gas turbine has a full life cycle of 1000 hours and an overhaul interval of 300 hours. When the Red Empire collapses, the engine has actually reached the end of its life. Their subsequent civil transportation is all overdue. When the Orientals buy it back, it is estimated that it will be completely unusable.

The engine is dead, what else can I do?
"If we buy it back, we have to improve it. We need to replace its original engine with a 396 diesel engine. In this way, we will have to spend a lot of money. Unless these two cars can be bought back at a cheap price, otherwise it will be fine. For us, it's not worth it."

cheap price?
Radujka thought for a while, and then said, "What kind of price does Mr. Qin think is appropriate?"

"Buy two cars together, at most $[-]."

"Deal!" Radujka replied immediately: "No problem, Mr. Qin, if you want to use these two cars, I will sell them to you for one hundred thousand dollars!"

Radujka did his homework in advance. Mr. Qin likes to use scrap iron prices when he buys things everywhere. If these two cars were sold at scrap iron prices, they would be worth at most [-] US dollars. Mr. Qin actually gave a With a price of one hundred thousand dollars, what else is there to say, of course it will be sold!
Qin Tao was also taken aback, he missed it!If I knew it earlier, I would have shouted [-] dollars, or even [-] dollars. Seeing the other party's straightforward appearance, I obviously paid a high price. Although the group has grown in recent years, I can't make such a generous offer!Money still has to be saved.

There are, however, remedial measures.

"We need to start the inspection to see if there is any problem with the running mechanism of the car. We also need a batch of accessories. This kind of car is manufactured separately. If it breaks, there is no way to repair it."

"Of course, we still have a batch of accessories in our warehouse. If you want to buy them, we will take them away with you." Radujka said: "As for the start-up test, we can try it. Try it, as long as its running mechanism is intact, anyway, you will have to replace the engine when you go back.”

Qin Tao climbed into the cab of this big guy for the first time.

It is very similar to a mine cart. After sitting on it, there is a feeling of seeing all the mountains at a glance. If you run over a car, you will definitely not feel anything when you run over it.

The side cover of the huge engine compartment in front was opened, and a group of technicians worked on it. Half an hour later, there was a howling sound. Although it had been left for such a long time, the gas turbine could still start successfully!
The cab is very large and belongs to the structure of the middle cab. The driver sits in the center, looking at the rearview mirrors on both sides, and... CCTV!
That's right, things like reversing images are not popular yet, but the MAZ-80 developed in the 7907s has already started to use closed-circuit television.

After all, it is too long, and the center of the car body is still a hinge mechanism, so if it starts to drive and makes a turn, the outer side of the rear will not be visible at all.

The same is true for large semi-trailer trucks, so when this kind of vehicle is turning, it must be far away, otherwise it will be blown over and people will have to walk away without knowing that they have caused an accident.

This car has CCTV on it, so you can see what's going on behind you.

Radujka drove it himself, and Qin Tao sat on one side. There are several seats here, so he can personally experience the elegance of this kind of vehicle in motion.

However, the closed-circuit television on one side has been broken, and there is no display at all. However, there is no loading at the back, so even if the closed-circuit television is not used, safety can be guaranteed.

Radujka let go of the brakes, stepped on the electric pedal, and the huge body of the car trembled, as if trembling with excitement at being able to start again, and moved forward.

The huge off-road tires crushed the weeds, and the people watching the scene below were also very moved. Only the Red Empire could create such a huge monster!

After leaving the crowd, Radujka turned the steering wheel, the front four rows of wheels turned to the right, and the rear four rows of wheels turned to the left. Just like that, the huge car started to turn, and the weeds under the tires were directly crushed, and the front four rows of wheels turned to the left. The weeds also seemed to tremble under the roar of the gas turbine.

The huge land monster continued to drive forward, invincible all the way.
