Great warships

Chapter 537
Without Super Seven, the 132 factory can survive, and it can survive very well. After all, the production of the J-611 of the 132 Institute must be carried out in their 31 factory, and even the future production of the J-132A will also be in their factory. Factory [-], as long as they produce aircraft, they can make a lot of profits.

However, after all, Super Seven is Tu Lao's life's painstaking effort, and he doesn't want to give up this project.

At the current International Defense Exhibition, Tu Lao saw that no one was paying attention to him, and he felt disappointed, but Qin Tao's words made Tu Lao excited again.

This super seven of mine has not yet reached a dead end, it still has a future, as long as Mr. Qin says it will, it will definitely have it!

"Of course, your most important task is to raise funds and make this plane as soon as possible. Time is running out. If it continues, there are more and more second-hand F-16s and second-hand MiG-29s on the international market. , will impact the sales of this aircraft.”

Tu Lao nodded: "Well, we will work hard, and we must make this plane reach the day of its first flight as soon as possible!"

In later generations, even if the J-[-] can be exported in China, the old bus is still a loyal fan of Xiaolong. There is no other reason, that is, it is cheap, the production cost is low, logistics maintenance, personnel training and maintenance upgrades, etc., the old bus also has huge The advantages.

Qin Tao continued to look around the booth, and said with some regret: "It's a pity that Mikoyan Design Bureau didn't come."

Some people are happy and some are worried. After the collapse of the Red Empire, the Sukhoi Design Bureau relied on the export of Su-27 fighter jets to make a lot of money and became the most prosperous military enterprise, while the Mikoyan Design Bureau is rapidly withering. If It's not because there is an order for Ah San's MiG-29K carrier-based aircraft, it is estimated that the Mikoyan Design Bureau will be ruined.

Under such circumstances, the Mikoyan Design Bureau would of course have to cut expenses. Anyway, Dongfang was destined to be unable to purchase MiG-29s, so they simply didn't come. They were reluctant to come here because they would have to spend travel expenses and rental fees.

It is embarrassing that the Mikoyan Design Bureau, which was once high and mighty, has fallen to this level.

"The Yakovlev Design Bureau is here. They didn't rent the booth, but used a corner of the booth of Factory 320." Tu Lao said.

"Well, let's go and have a look." Qin Tao said.

The Yakovlev Design Bureau has completely abandoned the fighter jet project, and now their main product is the Yak-130 trainer aircraft. Although it does not look like a mountain dew, in fact, the international market for the third-generation higher education aircraft is still very large.

They are still full of confidence in the future.

There were a lot of people in front of the booth, but most of them came to see the 320 factory. After all, the 320 factory directly brought a full-scale model. The K-8J is still eye-catching. It is one of the few warships in the world. Load trainer.

Old Shi was in a great mood, and he was there to introduce to the guests.

"The K-8 is specially developed by our factory to meet the training requirements of modern fighter jets. After the pilots have passed the propeller training plane, they can directly master the jet flight on our trainer plane, and then they can fly the corresponding aircraft." It is a two-seater model. Its flight cost is very low, its operation is simple, and it has a wide field of vision. It is the most suitable trainer aircraft. Moreover, we have developed a carrier-based trainer aircraft based on it, which can adapt to the take-off and landing of carrier-based aircraft. .”

"Excuse me, why did you not see the shadow of this aircraft in the last combat operation? Can it really board the ship?"

"Mr. reporter, your question already contains the answer. This plane is a trainer plane. Of course, it is impossible to appear in combat operations. At present, it is undergoing take-off and landing training for pilots in our naval aviation training base. Its existence can greatly reduce the frequency of use of the J-[-] fighter jets. Reserve the J-[-] fighter jets for combat use."

Although it is an imitation of the T-45, after all, the appearance of the Chinese teaching aircraft around the world is similar. They said that it is an upgraded version of the K-8, and it has not been suspected. Compared with the doubts of the J-[-], it is really lucky.

Most people are looking at this trainer, and no one is interested in the products of the Yakovlev Design Bureau. Hand out flyers in the aisle to people coming and going.

Compared with other design bureaus, the Yakovlev Design Bureau has always been marginalized, which instead allows them to quickly find their own position in the tide of the market economy and can take the initiative to attack at any time.

Qin Tao looked at it from a distance, then left, and went to the next place with the most people.

Mingzhou No. [-] Design Office, a special ground-effect aircraft design office, the booth is shining brightly, the small Peace Dove No. [-] was directly moved over, and the Peace Dove No. [-] with missiles on its back was displayed as a model. This shape The unique aircraft has attracted the attention of many people.

Unlike other design offices, the presence of Lao Maozi was not concealed here. The project leader of the design office, Alexieva, stood in front of the booth openly and introduced to customers in fluent Chinese.

"Our Peace Dove No. [-] has already started a lot of test flight work, including this time to participate in the exhibition. We did not use other transportation equipment, but flew directly here."

Fly over?

Everyone was surprised for a while: "Isn't this equipment flying on the sea? It can also fly over land?"

"Yes, the location of our test flight is in Qiongzhou. After receiving the news of the exhibition, we flew all the way north from Qiongzhou until we reached the Haihe River, and then flew westward from Haihe River for hundreds of kilometers on land. Arrived at the venue. By the way, we have some videos of the test flight at that time, and we can show you all."

LCD TVs are not yet mature in this era, otherwise it would be enough to hang a TV directly above the booth. On the table next to the booth, there is a 21-inch color TV set high up. The staff put the video tape in, and the scene of the dove of peace flying over the land appeared on the screen.

"In order to use the ground effect, our aircraft generally flies close to the ground, but if necessary, it can also fly thousands of meters into the air."

"This way of flying close to the ground is the most suitable for sneak attacks!"

After all, this is a special defense exhibition, and almost all the people present are military-savvy. The big guy immediately thought of the military use of this aircraft: ultra-low-altitude penetration!

"Yes, so our Peace Dove 2 carries six anti-ship missiles on it, uses ultra-low altitude to fly close to the target, and launches a surprise attack on the target at any time. Currently, this aircraft is under preparation and will soon The construction has officially started." Alexeyeva continued to introduce: "Now, let's go back to the first model, which is a small ground-effect aircraft with a cheap price and is most suitable for use as a tourist project."

"We ordered two from Shuangsha Island Fishery Resort!" A voice sounded from behind.

The figure of village head Lin Liang appeared in front of everyone, and he strode in: "This kind of ground-effect aircraft is most suitable for our tourist resorts. We want to develop new tourism projects. Tourists can take our peace doves and fly around us. Fly around the beautiful Nansha islands and reefs of the motherland, and then come back."

Of course, this is all prepared by Qin Tao in advance. If a scientific research project has no practical value, it will eventually fail. Only by transforming technology into productivity can a virtuous circle be formed.

Such a tall thing as ground-effect aircraft should not only be engaged in research, but also in the market. Small ground-effect aircraft can be used as a sea tourism project.

The Mingzhou Group has a big business, and there are a lot of resources that can be used, and now they can be digested and absorbed internally.

The people around were suddenly surprised.

Want to order?
"Is this thing mature? Why don't you purchase seaplanes?" Immediately, a reporter asked Lin Liang a question.

"It has been tested in Qiongzhou for a long time, and it is fully mature." Alexeyeva helped to answer: "As for the difference between it and a seaplane, of course it is saving. We can say it from two aspects. In terms of quantity, ours can save half of the fuel compared to seaplanes. With the same body size, we can carry twice as much cargo. This is the advantage of our ground-effect aircraft. It uses the hand of God and is ordinary Seaplanes can't compare."

The biggest advantage of the ground effect aircraft is that it uses the ground effect, which greatly saves fuel and increases the transportation volume.

"Yes, we also took a fancy to these advantages. In the future, we will travel to our Shuangsha Island Fishery Resort and take this ground-effect aircraft to travel around. The cost per person can be controlled at 200 yuan. If you use a seaplane, Get more than 300 yuan."

The location of Shuangsha Island is already in the tropics, you can experience the tropical scenery, you can have fun without going abroad, and the price is cheap!

You must not let tourists feel that domestic travel is cheating. If you have the idea that it will be cheaper to travel abroad with this amount of money, wouldn’t it be better to go directly to the South China Sea in the motherland if you want to go to Malaysia in the future?

Even in the future, in order to better develop the tourism industry, a few more islands and reefs can be filled in.

"Ground effect aircraft is still a new thing now, so we also provide the best service and the cheapest purchase price. If you place an order at this defense exhibition, the unit price is only 100 million, and we also provide five years of free on-site maintenance services !"

What can 100 million do?It may be a sky-high price for ordinary people, but for many companies, it is a piece of cake. After all, Santana still sells for 20 yuan these days!It is absolutely delicious to buy a tall ground-effect aircraft with the money of five Santanas!

"Our Hainan tourism company also ordered two ships!"

Anyway, it’s not expensive, and now you can buy it and get on-site maintenance service, which is also worth a lot of money, so someone responded immediately.

Qin Tao still didn't go in to disturb the lively atmosphere of the scene. Everything was proceeding according to his own plan. The transaction amount of this international defense exhibition will also rise rapidly, and it will be a good story.

As long as this first session is a hit, it will be easier in the future.

The sun gradually slid to the west and shone on the majestic Yanshan Mountains. The shadows of the mountains covered the entire defense exhibition site, and the figures were still swaying and gradually decreasing.

The first day of the defense exhibition is finally over!

In order to meet the needs of tourists, a row of simple houses were built on the edge of the site, and various signboards were hung on these houses.

Big plate chicken, donkey meat fire, Lanzhou ramen...Of course, in order to meet the needs of foreigners, there are also KFC, California beef noodles, etc. Although serious foreigners are also very curious about California beef noodles, but they can Just eat enough.

This place is the hottest at noon. After all, there is no need to go out of the gate of the defense exhibition, and it can be solved directly inside. Moreover, although it is a snack, it is very authentic, which has been praised by many people, especially those guests from foreign countries.

However, at night, there are fewer people eating.

After a day of traveling, many people are tired and hungry. They go back to the city by car. Eating the delicious food there is their first choice. Some people are too hungry to bear it, so they will continue here Solve stomach problems.

At this moment, in the shop of the signature Da Panji, there was only one table of customers. The boss and the clerks were not very busy. They chatted at the counter while looking at the customers at the table, always feeling a little curious.

There are a few foreigners and a few Chinese. They are all communicating in English, and they speak very quickly.

Around the shop, some people were walking around, looking like they were hanging out, but in fact, they were guarding the place vigilantly, so that no accidents could happen.

"Come on, everyone, this is our authentic delicacy." Qin Tao looked at the steaming large plate of chicken on the table, and said to the person opposite: "In order to satisfy your taste, I specially ordered two plates, and the one on the left is five-spice. Yes, the one on the right is spicy, you may not be used to spicy food."

The American on the opposite side picked up a knife and fork.

They were all from the American Aerojet Engine Company, and the leader of the team was Santos, the engineer. He picked up a fork, inserted a piece of chicken leg, and slowly put it into his mouth.

There was no salad dressing, and no other embellishments. The color of this piece of muscle was deep red. After putting it in his mouth, the delicious and rich taste stimulated his taste buds.

"Good!" Santos immediately gave a thumbs up: "This is the best chicken I've ever eaten!"

Although the United States also eats a lot of chicken, it is usually deep-fried, and it is a meal sandwiched in bread. How can this taste compare with carefully cooked large plate chicken?

"You can eat another piece of potato, which tastes different from your domestic one." Qin Tao continued to suggest.

Potatoes must be put in the stew. The starch of the potatoes can make the soup thicker. At the same time, after the potatoes absorb the soup, the taste is even better.

Santos nodded and inserted it quickly. Unexpectedly, the potatoes were stewed and rotten, and they fell apart!
"You can use a spoon." Qin Tao suggested, picked up a piece of potato with chopsticks, and put it in his mouth.

Soft and smooth, delicious!
"In our place, potatoes are a meal. Unexpectedly, potatoes can make so many tricks here. We ate a plate of shredded potatoes at noon. We couldn't believe that potatoes could do this." An assistant said while chewing.

"Everyone, we have a lot of delicacies in the East. Even if you eat it for a whole year, you can never repeat the same. You are welcome to come to our East often in the future."

Santos finished eating the potatoes, and looked at the spicy plate beside him: "Can I have a taste of this?"

"Of course, you should prepare the beer first." Qin Tao poured a glass of beer and handed it to the other party.

"Is this served with beer?" Santos was a little curious, seeing that the people across from him had a good meal and didn't drink beer.

"You'll know when you try it."

This time, Santos ate a piece of chicken breast, just put it in his mouth, chewed the first bite, there was a pungent taste in his mouth, and the sweat on his head burst out all at once.

Spicy, so spicy, this spicy taste is really exciting!
Water, what about water?

He picked up the beer beside him and drank it into his mouth.

Sure enough, he had to prepare a glass of beer beside him, and the cold beer flowed over his tongue and throat, which relieved this feeling.

Santos felt that he had made a fool of himself, so he went to look at the other party and took a plate of spicy chicken with chopsticks, and they seemed to be enjoying it. Aren't they afraid of spicy food?

"The first time you eat it, you will always feel very spicy. After eating it a few times, your taste buds will get used to it, and you will have a unique feeling. Spicy food is also a tradition of ours. Would you like to try it again?"

Santos shook his head: "This spiced one is also very good."

Santos gave up trying and continued to fight directly at the big plate chicken, which tasted pretty good.

"When the meal is about the same, we invite the store to serve noodles. The noodles are more delicious when dipped in soup." Qin Tao continued to introduce.

"Well, well, not bad."

Santos and the others ate very happily. They thought that this kind of small shop had nothing to eat, but they didn't expect the taste to be so delicious.

When he was full, he suddenly thought of something: "Boss Qin, what about our business?"

Eating is secondary, business is the main thing!They have already set their sights on the NK-33 engine, who would have thought that it would be bought by Mingzhou Group, it was a step too late!

"Business is easy to talk about." Qin Tao said: "We have sent people to the warehouse of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau to pick up the goods. Those rocket engines are in a sealed state. In our warehouse, when the time comes, you will send people to pick out more than 200 units in total, and you will choose whichever one you like.”

Santos nodded: "Well, this is the best way, can we test it?"

After all, they are in stock, and they are not sure whether they can be used. It is not enough to rely on sight, but to test.

"Testing? You also know that our Mingzhou Group is a shipbuilder. We don't have any testing tools. If you can move the full set of equipment, you can test it. However, if you don't want it after the test, you have to pay us for the wear and tear. .”

The original unopened package is definitely different from the one that has been unpacked and tested. It is logical that a wear and tear fee will be charged for the unpacked test.

However, let alone wear and tear, just a test tool for a rocket engine is not cheap!
The word tool is not very suitable. It should actually be a rocket engine test bench. This thing costs a lot of money, because you have to worry about it exploding when it is ignited, and you have to do various preventive tests. This is different from a car. Just listen to the sound of the fire, it will explode directly.

Moreover, once installed, it is difficult to disassemble.

Therefore, if the other party wants to test on site, Qin Tao can certainly meet their requirements. After the test is over, the entire rocket engine test bench will stay in Mingzhou Group. The ability to build rockets?

"Let's talk about these projects in detail later, and I have to go back and report." Santos said: "How about the price?"

The costly rocket engine test bench has to be reported to the company, and the price has to be determined first.

"After all, we are not engaged in rockets, so we are not good at engines. This time, we only want to help the Kuznetsov Design Bureau. We only earn shipping costs. We sell one for 380 million US dollars. How? ? This is much cheaper than producing your own."

Xu Zhengyang's chopsticks paused slightly, looking at the reaction of the American opposite.

There was a joyful expression on the other party's face: "Of course it's no problem, Mr. Qin, it's really fun to do business with you. We thought you would ask for 500 million yuan, but they all said you were black, but in fact, you are the most honest !"

The chicken nuggets in Xu Zhengyang's chopsticks almost fell, thanks to his superb martial arts skills and timely response.

"The noodles are here!" The man came up with the noodles.

"Everyone, let's continue to eat. Regarding the contract, after we finish eating, we will go to the office area of ​​the defense exhibition to sign."

"it is good."

That's how things were settled.

In the windy night, Xu Zhengyang drove Qin Tao home in a specially customized bulletproof tiger head.

The road conditions were not good a few years ago, and Qin Tao often took the Mercedes-Benz G. In the past two years, the road conditions have become better and better. For the sake of style, Mingzhou Group also specially purchased the Hutou Ben. After all, in the 90s, this kind of car was Symbol of status and status.

low key?Qin Tao's actual situation does not allow it, he must be high-profile.

After all, even if this special custom-made Hutou Ben is expensive, it is only 400 million yuan. The business he talks about can easily be millions, tens of millions of dollars, or even over [-] million yuan in profits.

Just now American Aviation Jet Engine Company signed an order intention for 12 engines, and one engine can earn 378 million, which is a profit of 5000 million, or US dollars!
"It seems that the cooperation between the two parties in the field of space has not yet been launched on a large scale." Qin Tao also concluded: "However, this is only one chance, and they may bypass us in the future."

This batch is stock, what about the next batch?The Kuznetsov Design Bureau has money and can improve the NK-43 and put it into production. Americans will definitely buy this upgraded model.

It doesn't matter even if the goods fall into the hands, the profits from the first batch are already enough.

"By the way, there will be a special program of Zhang Zhongshuo International Defense Exhibition tonight, right? He must have a wonderful performance."
