Great Power Industry: You're a private company building an aircraft carrier?

I used to work as a tour guide at a travel agency, but that was just a period of dormancy.

Antonina came from the Swallow School, so she has a very broad perspective. She became a tour guide in the hope of meeting a big boss, but now she is convinced that Qin Chuan is a capable person with unlimited potential!

Therefore, she was determined to follow Qin Chuan wholeheartedly. This was the beginning of her standing on her own. If she could lead this ship all the way across the ocean back, her position in Qin Chuan's heart would be different. And in the future...

At this moment, Antonina stood on the bridge, looking at the familiar beach that was gradually approaching, her heart filled with anticipation.

Once I get ashore and see Engineer Qin, how will he praise me? What reward will he give me? Besides the money, if I continue to ask to sleep in his bed, will he agree?

I have to promise you, we'll just stay in bed together and do nothing.

Antonina's desire to sleep with Qin Chuan had nothing to do with love; it stemmed from the arrogance she felt after graduating from Yanzi School—the belief that there was no one Yanzi couldn't win over!

This Qin Chuan is impervious to reason and has a thing for men; challenging targets like this are her favorite.

and many more!

A group of people were standing on the shore. She recognized her boss at a glance, but there was also a girl standing next to her boss, and the two of them were wearing... matching outfits?

Antonina was instantly envious.

"Speed ​​up, speed up, give me full speed! Haven't you guys eaten?" Antonina's voice rose.

The Russian man beside her was a little confused. What was going on? Antonina had been kind and gentle the whole way and hadn't lost her temper at all. Now that the work was almost over, why was she unhappy?

What happened to make Antonina so unhappy?

The sailors didn't dare to say anything and quickly scrambled to the engine room. When a woman is angry, never try to comfort her. If you know that a woman is being unreasonable at this time, trying to reason with her is just crazy.

Thick black smoke billowed from the St. Petersburg's funnels, the propeller at the stern spun faster, and the bow cleaved through the water; at that moment, it seemed to come alive again.

However, this is just a temporary respite. After this beaching, it will be dismantled and completely disappear, never to exist again!

The bow of the ship crashed onto the beach, and the resistance suddenly increased, causing the ship's speed to decrease rapidly. However, relying on inertia, it continued to move forward. It must make the most of this final journey!

In the safe zone nearby, everyone stared intently at the warship, their feelings a mix of emotions.

Once upon a time, during the era of the Red Empire, these warships were the most formidable force. But what about now?

The Red Empire has been destroyed, and many things from the Red Empire era will be destroyed along with it. After all, that powerful nation has disappeared and can no longer support a powerful fleet!

The bottom of the ship scraped against the sand, making a sound that made one's ears tingle. When the stern also left the water, it seemed to have used up all its strength and could no longer move!

The St. Petersburg has stopped!

"Let's go up and take a look!" Leader Zhang waved his hand.

"Everyone, don't rush. Wait until the scaffolding is up before you go over. There's a lot of scrap metal on the ship, and the center of gravity is very high. What if it capsizes... Hey, hey!"

These leaders are so disobedient! Qin Chuan watched as the leaders dashed off towards the docked warship.

This is a helicopter carrier; they've never seen one before!

Although the front and back are piled with scrap metal, there must still be space inside, especially below the rear deck, where the hangar is located, and there must be good stuff inside!

Deng Deng Deng!

咣 咣 咣!

The group moved with practiced ease, seemingly having studied the layout of the Moskva-class helicopter carrier beforehand, and quickly entered the hangar.

When they saw what was inside the hangar, everyone's eyes widened.

"A helicopter! A helicopter! It's... a Ka-27!"

Jin Lao, who came along, said excitedly, "This is the Russians' main anti-submarine helicopter! Engineer Qin, we knew you'd bring us some surprises when you went out!"

"That's right, they didn't report it all along; they were planning to surprise us!"

Qin Chuan was helpless. Actually, it was because he had too many things to do and had forgotten! But it was inconvenient for him to admit it now, so he could only say it differently.

"No, no, these are not for the navy. We plan to use them ourselves. As Laiyang Factory grows and expands, we also need to diversify our operations. We plan to develop civil aviation and start by building a helicopter base."

"Such a good helicopter, wouldn't it be a waste to give it to you?"

Leader Zhang said, "How much did you pay to get it? That's how much our navy will pay! This is a treasure!"

"Our navy's hangars are built to accommodate Z-8 and Z-9 helicopters. These helicopters can't fit into the hangars of naval vessels, and besides, they're not cheap. Forget it, forget it!"

The navy's main helicopters are all imported from France. The first imported helicopter was the Super Frelon, a large helicopter with three engines and a takeoff weight of 13 tons. After being domestically produced, it was named Z-8. Because of its large size, it can only be carried on supply ships.

Later, they imported the four-ton-class medium-sized helicopter Dolphin, which was domestically produced and named Z-9. It is the main carrier-based aircraft carried by the Navy's destroyers.

Whether it's the Z-8 or Z-9, they all have a conventional layout: a large disc on top of the fuselage and a tail rotor extending from the tail boom. More than 90% of helicopters in the world look like this.

However, there are exceptions. The Russian Karimov Design Bureau has been working on coaxial counter-rotating helicopters. They have a very short tail with only control surfaces and no tail rotor. They have two large discs on top, driven by two interlocking drive shafts that rotate in opposite directions, easily counteracting the reaction force of the rotor.

This helicopter has a unique layout and was only favored by the Russian Navy. The Ka-25 was equipped on almost all warships in the 1960s and 70s, and the Ka-27, as a replacement, has even better performance.

However, it's so tall that it can't fit into any of the hangars on the Eastern warships, so...

"Even if it means converting a hangar, we have to bring these planes! As for the cost... how much more expensive can they be? More expensive than a Black Hawk?"

"I bought them from the Russians for $500,000 each. As long as I can assemble one complete one, the rest can be used as spare parts, so I won't lose money. If I can assemble three or four, I can make a few million dollars. Since the Navy has taken a liking to them, I won't ask for more. I'll just sell them to the Navy at the original price."

The helicopters were originally intended for the navy, but... with so many people at Laiyang Factory waiting to be supported, Qin Chuan couldn't just give them away to the navy for nothing.

Five hundred thousand dollars per plane isn't much, so eight planes would only be four million dollars. If we can salvage even one, we won't lose money; if we can salvage four, that's worth tens of millions of dollars! And if we can repair more than six…

Therefore, Qin Chuan didn't ask for more!

Moreover, this is a ten-ton class helicopter, which is very suitable for naval use. The Z-8 is too big, the Z-9 is too small, and the Ka-27 is just right!

"Four million US dollars, right? That's the price of one Black Hawk helicopter. Our Navy will take it!" Leader Zhang said somewhat embarrassedly, "However, the money may take some time to be paid to you. Our Navy will give you an IOU first."

"No need for that, I trust the navy."

Whether he has an IOU or not is irrelevant. If the navy wants to default on its debt, can he really sue them? Saying he doesn't want it now makes him seem noble and virtuous.

In the crowd, Liu Zhijie frowned slightly. This Qin Chuan was too good at networking; he had even managed to get connections with the naval leaders. This gas turbine…

He gritted his teeth: "Where are the gas turbines? Let us see them! Five gas turbines are simply not enough for the navy. We need to hurry up with the surveying and reverse engineering!"
