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

Raimov remained silent.

He was certainly aware of the situation at the Dawn Bureau; their salaries had been in arrears for so long that many excellent technical personnel had left, and the rest were just coasting along.

If the money goes into the Dawn Bureau's account, it will undoubtedly be misappropriated as salaries!

There were no advanced computers there, only rudimentary slide rules, which were very inefficient. There were not enough daily necessities in society, so the technicians could not be assured of their wages and were worried about food and clothing every day.

All of this can be easily resolved in the East.

So, you came to Laiyang Factory to conduct research?

Are you kidding me? The Dawn Bureau definitely won't agree to that!

"Engineer Qin, you've done so much for our Dawn Bureau, and you still want to invest huge sums of money. Logically, we should fully cooperate. Even moving the research institute here wouldn't be a problem, but..."

Raimov felt very guilty and didn't dare to look Qin Chuan in the eye: "But they won't agree to that."

"Well, some old fogies won't agree, but I think we should leave it at that for now."

Qin Chuan said, "Go back and give a brief report on the progress. Just say that the investigation is still ongoing. Then, find some technical staff you have a good relationship with and see if they are willing to come here. The salary will be doubled, paid on time, and there will be various travel allowances. This money..."

"Once we develop an advanced gas turbine and the Navy is satisfied and places a formal order, we'll definitely have a large sum of money. We'll then inform the leaders of your Dawn Bureau, and everyone will be happy! By the way, by then, after we deduct the money we've advanced from Yang Factory, the rest will be yours."

"no!"

Seeing Raimov's firm shake of his head, Qin Chuan was taken aback. Could it be that this guy had figured something out?

"Engineer Qin, you've advanced us a large sum of money, how can we only recover the cost? We have to pay you interest!"

So that’s it!

You're so jumpy! I thought all that buildup had been for nothing!

"Alright, since you're so kind, I won't say anything more. Whatever interest you offer, I'll accept. Oh, and I'll send one of my men back with you to help you out."

"Antonina?"

"No, Ivan."

Last time I took Antonina there, Er Mao got to know her, so I can't let Antonina go this time.

Besides, they gave us a bad check last time. What if they demand it be cashed this time?

It's time to let Ivan get some exercise; we can't let Antonina earn all the money herself.

Raimov breathed a sigh of relief. Antonina was a stunning beauty that he couldn't handle. If he were traveling with her, he might make mistakes along the way. It would be much easier if he were a man.

Qin Chuan was also an impatient person. He acted immediately and summoned Ivan that same day. After giving him some instructions, he sent them to the airport that very evening.

At the Capital Airport, Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the passenger plane take off.

This matter is finally finished!

When Raimov returns, he will definitely bring a group of technical experts with him. We can also find some college students on our side to form a research and development team, and the marine gas turbine project will be solved!

Once the technology is developed, it will naturally not be given to the Dawn Bureau. If Raimov feels cheated at that time, he can go back! But by then, the Dawn Bureau will have completely collapsed, so what can he do if he goes back?

At worst, we can have a drink, have a good cry, and say, "Brother, I was also fooled by the navy!" We must be sincere; Raimov will definitely stay.

"Qin Gong, you are truly a reincarnation of Zhuge Liang!" a voice came from behind.

"Well, it's nothing really..." Qin Chuan looked at the person behind him modestly, "Uncle Wang, what brings you here? Aren't you worried?"

"I'll pick you up."

"Pick me up? Why would you pick me up?"

“Our navy has been holding meetings a lot lately, and everyone’s heads are about to explode. Since you’re back, you might as well go and participate.”

We haven't been apart for more than a few days, okay? What major event could have happened?

Qin Chuan was full of questions: "Uncle Wang, our Laiyang Factory is still busy tinkering with the rolling mill! This is a major event that concerns the future development of Laiyang Factory. Can you tell me what it is first?"

If it's not something particularly important, then I don't need to go and delay my business!

If I can't get it out on time, will those Japanese people come and laugh at me to my face? I can't afford to lose face like that!

"Based on your suggestion, we will import a large number of shipborne weapons from Russia and install them on four destroyers. Combined with the two we purchased, our navy will be able to upgrade all three fleets in the next ten years, but..."

"but what?"

"Let's talk in the car."

Qin Chuan had no choice but to get into the car.

"Uncle Wang, don't drive yet, tell me what the 'but' is?"

"Introducing two Shtil systems shouldn't be a big problem, but we can't fit two Rif-M air defense missile systems on our warships! The designers have been racking their brains for a long time. Can you think of a solution for everyone?"

"I thought it was something serious!" Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll give our designer an idea that will definitely solve the problem!"

Many people lack self-confidence and always like to find foreign "parents" for domestically produced equipment.

When the HQ-9 was launched, some people said it was a copy of the Russian Rif-M.

That's pure nonsense. Putting aside whether the missile silos were fully open or not, just considering the size of the missiles, they're all different!

A 7,000-ton destroyer equipped with the Russian Rif-M air-to-ship missile is like a giant eagle with a cute little girl inside!

……

Yellow Building, conference room.

"This missile is too long!"

Old Pan looked extremely conflicted: "The Russian 48N6 missile is 7.5 meters long. With the launch device, the entire launch tube is more than 8 meters long! At least one meter of space needs to be left below, so it needs to be 9 meters high!"

"Yes, even if we increase the displacement to 70,000 tons, the distance from the bottom to the deck is at most seven meters, which is just right for our HQ-9 missiles. As for installing Russian missiles... that's simply impossible!"

"Exactly, the Russians put this kind of system on warships of 10,000 tons or more. Why don't we grit our teeth and install four gas turbines to drive a 10,000-ton warship?"

"How is that possible!"

Boom!

Just then, the door was opened from the outside.

"Engineer Qin, you've arrived?"

"Okay, I'll just say a few words and then leave."

Qin Chuan didn't want to stay any longer, otherwise he might not be able to go back.

"If we follow the conventional approach, American warships, which place their vertical launch systems in front of the bridge, definitely cannot accommodate the Rif-M."

Qin Chuan decided to act quickly: "Therefore, we can set up two sets of launching devices in the center of the second deck in front of the bridge, and launch them all the way to the bottom, perfect!"

"That's only two sets? What can that number of missiles do?"

"The remaining four sets, deploy them on the helicopter hangar, pushing them from the top to the bottom. They should fit perfectly. Place the guidance radar above the hangar, perfect! Everyone, goodbye!"

"and many more!"

Wang Zhenhua blocked the doorway, just like Qin Chuan had done during the day, though of course he didn't have to lie down.

"Engineer Qin, explain yourself clearly before you leave. This design of yours..."

"Hmph, what could a mere boy like him, who hasn't even grown a beard yet, know! Talking nonsense!"
