Great warships

Chapter 931
Qin Tao initially felt that the electric propulsion solution was feasible, but later felt that there were many technical problems. Now it is obviously safer to use a two-pronged approach.

This visit to Huating is to inspect the enterprises of Mingzhou Group here again. Of course, except for high-tech enterprises, the chip industry is still developing according to its own track. Qin Tao didn't bother them, and will be there soon. It's the end of the year, after working hard for a year, it's time to rest.

After leaving Huating, Qin Tao took Zhao Ling back to the capital, intending to stay here for the new year. There was no way, his son and daughter were used to being here. The father and mother in Mingzhou were very busy, and the children were all grandmas. Show the big ones.

However, after returning to the capital, Qin Tao hadn't even sat on his ass when his old friend Nicholas came.

"Qin, our superiors have made a decision to carry out a large-scale upgrade of the weapons system of the Admiral Zaraev. Moreover, they have also agreed to leave the modification work to your Mingzhou Group."

After the two met, Nicholas couldn't wait to explain his intention.

This surprised Qin Tao: "Aren't you planning to modify it yourself? How could your leaders agree? Also, do related companies in your country have no objections?"

Refitting only one roof radar is completely different from completely refitting all weapon systems. How could Lao Maozi entrust Mingzhou Group with the huge modification work of such a cruiser?This is not scientific.

"We have assessed domestically that relying on our own strength, the frigate No. 22350 will take more than five or even ten years to complete the outfitting. We cannot wait so long. In order to put this warship into service as soon as possible , we can only turn to you for help. The main task is to replace the main mast and install a four-sided phased array radar on it. At the same time, replace the main shipborne air defense weapons with S-300 and Shikili air defense systems, and replace all The air defense missiles are all integrated together to reach the air defense level of the Aegis battleship."

Qin Tao nodded: "Of course no problem, we have a mature modification plan. For the whole system, I will give you a quotation of [-] million yuan."

"Money is not an issue. Our country will allocate special funds to build this warship. However, we have a requirement."

"any request?"

"We need you to disclose all the technologies." Nicholas said: "After all, we will not tolerate the use of a weapon system that does not know the principle, which will affect our mastery of weapons. We require all hardware Drawings, we also ask for program codes for all software.”

The expression on Qin Tao's face became serious: "Nicolas, you should know that we have never exported related technologies when exporting weapons. The hardware drawings are okay, but the software program codes are our most important things. It is impossible to export."

The hardware drawings can be given, because as long as the chips used in large quantities do not know the internal structure of the chips, they are equivalent to blind boxes one by one, and these can be given.However, the program code of the software is different, which is related to the core secrets of arms export.

"The program codes of these software are not only used on your warships, but also on our own and exported warships, so it is impossible for us to hand over these secrets to you. It seems that I can only say sorry gone."

Lao Maozi thought that he would be able to appreciate the 22350 million US dollars modification contract?They actually want to take all the technology away, so that they can also help their [-] frigate develop a radar system. This kind of good thing can only be found in dreams.

"Qin, our navy really needs your help." Nicholas said.

"But we can't sell our company's core secrets." Qin Tao said: "Nicolas, we really can't meet this requirement. You should also know what these secrets mean, and you plan to change them from us. One, and then get the relevant technology, transplant it to your 22350 frigate, and then you can also transform the remaining cruisers by yourself. I am very sorry, we can't help with this. Nikolai, my friend, please don't Make it hard for me."

"Then what conditions do you have? If you increase the price, we can accept it."

"This is not a matter of money." Qin Tao said: "Nicola, this is a matter of principle, it really doesn't work."

Nicholas' face was a bit ugly: "Qin, this is a death order from my superiors. Without these core secrets, I can't go back and explain them."

"Nicholas, if you can't stay there anymore, our Mingzhou Group will always open the door for you." Qin Tao said.

As soon as these words came out, Nicholas's body was shocked.

Nicholas has reached the center of power and is facing a lot of pressure. He wants to develop the navy and has a good relationship with Qin Tao. However, he also faces a lot of suspicion and pressure. Now, his superiors have issued such an order to him , leaving him in a dilemma.

Qin Tao stretched out his hands, if things are not going well there, come to me.

Nicholas shook his head with a wry smile: "It's not enough. This kind of request is unreasonable. Even if we don't reach an agreement, they won't do anything to me. However, the modernization of our navy may have to be delayed for a long time. "

"The roof radar has been replaced for you. Although the main mast is still broken, this warship is already usable, and you can make do with it. Wait until the four-sided phased array radar you developed yourself matures before replacing it."

Nicholas nodded: "It seems that this is the only way, Qin, our cruiser can only be improved to this extent temporarily."

Nicholas was a little depressed.

"Nicholas, is there anything else?" Qin Tao looked at Nikolai with some curiosity.

"Your military strength has developed too fast, which has aroused the fear of many people. Some people seized the H[-]K and H[-]J to make a fuss, saying that our navy helped to leak the technology to you." Nicholas said .

Qin Tao's face also became serious: "Our bomber was developed by ourselves and has absolutely nothing to do with you. This is slander. Nicholas, anyone who makes such remarks must have received dirty money. After you go back, you can investigate in secret. If it's not convenient for you, I can help."

Nicholas reacted: "Are they targeting you?"

"That's right, our Mingzhou Group has become stronger, and our eastern aircraft carrier has been tested at sea. Some people can't sit still. They directly criticized us and it didn't work, so they used other methods. Nikolai, you should be I'm dragged down, rest assured we won't stand by."

Nicholas shook his head: "I will deal with this kind of thing. I just didn't have a clear direction before. Now that I have found the problem, I can deal with it myself."

"You have to tell your superiors that these people are dangerous. They will slowly corrupt you and turn your apparently powerful army into a mess. This threat is serious and you must take it seriously. Any remarks that criticize us are Don't have an ulterior motive."

Nicola nodded.

This time Nikolai came here just as a private person and wanted to ask Mingzhou Group for help. The agreement was not reached, so he left quietly without alerting the relevant departments in the East. However, everyone was very concerned and waited until Nikolai left. After that, Qin Tao was called by his father-in-law and was questioned by a lot of people.

"You want our technology? Of course you can't agree to this." Hearing Qin Tao's introduction, Wu Shengli immediately said, "This is a major matter related to the secrets of our navy. How can we tell him and let the old man know the source of the weapon system? Code, it will be easier for them to find loopholes in the future, and they will be at a disadvantage when engaging in electronic countermeasures."

"Actually, it doesn't matter if the old man knows. The key is that if the old man knows, then the West will know soon."

Hearing what Qin Tao said, everyone's expressions became heavy.

"It's not just old men, we should also pay attention to it." Qin Tao said: "The attack of sugar-coated shells is very powerful. We have more and more advanced technologies. I don't know how many people betray the army for their own selfishness. and the national interest."

"Yes." Wu Shengli said with emotion: "We are still very relieved of the Mingzhou Group. After all, your group's salary is very high, and the technicians can get what they want, and they have never gone abroad. It is not easy to be bought. However, we must pay close attention internally."

Qin Tao attached great importance to these and used various methods to deal with them.

Sugar-coated cannonballs are powerful?Then let's play with high salaries. The income of Mingzhou Group's technicians is among the best in the world. How could they be bought for petty profits?

At the same time, this kind of thing is also prevented from other aspects. The personnel of Mingzhou Group who master important technologies never go abroad, and those who do maintenance for customers are logistics personnel. The real developers have always been in the country, and there must be secret supervision to prevent They are drawn in.

As for going abroad for academic research, meetings and discussions, etc., Mingzhou Group has never participated in it. Our academic research is the strongest. Why do you go abroad to study and study? Others want to come to us for inspection?Sorry, we don't have this time for reception.

Mingzhou Group is self-contained, making it difficult for people to infiltrate.Moreover, patriotic education has never been put down, and a multi-pronged approach, although it cannot be said to be completely eliminated, will certainly not be infiltrated into a sieve.The navy should pay close attention.

This is out of Qin Tao's control.

"Nicholas won't lose power this time when he goes back, right?"

Nicholas is a good friend of Qin Tao, and also a good friend of the East. If Nicholas goes down and is replaced by someone who is close to the West, many layouts will be invalid.

"So we have to take action and help this old friend. If we know who has been bribed, we should write black material. We should be familiar with such things as Chaoyang masses?" Qin Tao said: "Since they want to To put pressure on us through Nikolai, let's give these people a blow."

Wu Shengli nodded: "I will coordinate this matter. Our aircraft carrier sea trial has touched the nerves of many people. We must also be vigilant and smash some people's plots."

"The whole process is like this, I have finished the report." Qin Tao said: "Next, we can also do a program of Hong Liu K and Hong Liu J to continue to publicize how we are developing this technology step by step under difficult conditions. Kind of a bomber."

"Will this be counterproductive?" Wu Shengli frowned.

What if it’s self-defeating?

"If we announce our newest bomber, those people should shut up. There is no need for us to copy them. Our own bomber technology is the most advanced in the world." A leader said.

"The latest bomber?" Qin Tao reacted: "Is it the project that Mr. Lin is responsible for cooperating with our Mingzhou Group?"

"Yes, they are already building a prototype, and the project is progressing rapidly."

"So fast?" Qin Tao realized that he was still too busy to participate in many projects.It was agreed at the beginning that after the Mingzhou Group developed a vertical take-off and landing fighter jet, this will be the next project, and the Air Force has also invested a large amount of money. Qin Tao is not clear about the progress of this project.

"Mr. Qin, you don't even know about the project you are working on?" A leader said: "You were the one who promoted this project at that time. If Lao Lin sees you, he will definitely be very happy, and we will also benefit from you. Let’s go see it together.”

"That's right, Taozi, please get in touch with that side. If they allow us to go there, let's go and have a look together!" Wu Shengli was also in high spirits.

Qin Tao felt a little helpless: "If you want to see it yourself, do you still need me to contact you?"

"Of course you need to contact us. We went to see it before. Do you know what Lao Lin said? If you want to see it, you can invest in research and development for them!" A leader said: "We don't need the Air Force's strategic bombers, so invest in them." Why, they won’t let us see it.”

"Yes, Mr. Qin, when Lao Lin went to work on this project, it was your recommendation. Your Mingzhou Group also made great efforts. You can take us to see it together. By the way, just say you want to go by yourself. When the time comes, If we follow him together, it will be inconvenient for him, Old Lin, to embarrass us."

"Okay, let me ask."

In the eyes of everyone, Qin Tao picked up the phone. When he heard Qin Tao say that he wanted to go there, he immediately expressed his welcome.

the next day.

Although the R&D team is dominated by Mao Duanzhang's team, there is no production capacity for large aircraft in Chengdu. Therefore, after the R&D is completed, the production of the prototype is placed in the 172 Factory.

The special plane taken by Qin Tao and others landed directly on the runway of Factory 172. Mr. Lin, wearing a military coat, was waiting on the runway with a smile. He was very excited when he saw Qin Tao coming down.

"Mr. Qin, you have time to come here and have a look!" Mr. Lin was very proud: "Old Mao's team is too strong, and there are no detours in research and development...Hey, how did they get down?"

Mr. Lin looked at the people getting off the plane one after another, and his face became more and more ugly: "Who asked them to come?"

"Mr. Lin, they are also concerned about the development of our strategic bombers, so come and have a look." Qin Tao said: "My father-in-law asked, you have to give me face."

"No, when did they give me face?" Elder Lin said: "Every time I ask them to invest, they don't take a penny away. Now, our plane is about to take a test flight, and they actually came to visit. They must have called to buy The idea! Mr. Qin, we agreed at the beginning that this is a market economy, and the price the navy wants to purchase must be much higher than our air force!"

"Well, I promise, if the Navy wants it, it's twice the price of the Air Force. How about it? Let them see."

Elder Lin didn't say anything else, he turned his head and walked back.

"Let's go, big guys follow." Wu Shengli came down with a smile on his face, approached Mr. Lin in strides, and said, "Old Lin, why are you so unwelcome when we meet old friends? Tell you, I brought A few bottles of good wine are coming."

"What wine? I don't drink anything except Moutai."

"Of course it's Moutai, or Feitian Moutai."

"That's about the same." Elder Lin nodded, "Go, let's take you to see our masterpiece."

How many bottles of wine were bought?This made other people a little helpless, and they wanted to come to see it a long time ago. If they had known earlier, they would have bought a few bottles of wine and came over.

Qin Tao smiled and followed behind.

When approaching the production workshop, Zhou Guozhen greeted him.

"Welcome all the leaders to inspect, let's take a look at our H[-]K and H[-]J production lines first."

"Don't worry guys, you have to go there first, it's the same when you go outside and inside." Elder Lin said.

So, everyone walked in.

"Since our H-[-] K and H-[-] J were finalized, this bomber has become our main force. In order to increase production capacity, we have shut down the production line of the old H-[-] and fully produced this bomber. The current annual output has reached We will increase the production capacity further in the future, and we will try our best to expand the annual output to [-] aircraft."

"Twenty planes are produced a year, and only two hundred planes are produced in ten years, which is just enough." Wu Shengli said: "However, after ten years, the H-[-] will definitely be able to serve, and then this bomber will be produced again." , just in time to connect."

"Who is enough? Is it enough for your navy?" Lin Laobai glanced at Wu Shengli: "Our air force has calculated that we need [-] bombers. This is not enough for us to bite the bullet."

Wu Shengli didn't refute, he just endured it for now and waited until he finished reading Hong Twenty.

"Yes, with this kind of bomber, the old H-[-] should be discontinued." Qin Tao was very excited: "After all, this kind of bomber can fly at supersonic speeds with bombs, which is what we urgently need. In the future, the Navy wants to To get out of the first island chain, the accompanying flight of this kind of bomber is also very important.”

"President Qin, you only think about the navy. For our air force, this kind of bomber is also very important. It can carry four cruise missiles and fly at supersonic speed. If necessary, it can carry up to six. This kind of bomber has become It has become the core of our air force's long-range strike force." Lin Lao said.

"That's right, it's also very important to the Air Force." Qin Tao nodded. He suddenly thought of someone's words, and couldn't help saying: "No matter how loud the protest is, it's better to fly a bomber with a missile."
