Warship of Great Power Chapter 146

  Chapter 146 The aggrieved present is for future arrogance

  Will Lao Maozi sell it? Qin Tao gave an affirmative answer to this question, because Lao Maozi's situation has changed.

  Now the old Maozi is trying his best to win over China, and even sold their precious Su-27 fighter jets. What is the S-300?

   You must know that the Su-27 is Lao Maozi's homeland air defense fighter. This fighter is never exported. Even the third brother who has the closest relationship with Lao Maozi can only buy MiG-29.

  Now, the Su-27 contract project is in full swing, and Mr. Lin has been working on it for a long time. It is said that Lao Maozi's delegation will also drive the Su-27 to the capital for an air show.

   So, times have changed.

  Hearing Qin Tao's words, Wu Shengli's doubts turned into affirmations. It is indeed the case. Nothing is impossible. Su-27 can be sold, and so can S-300!

   Hearing what Qin Tao said, Mr. Wu was also very happy: "Yes, if Lao Maozi is willing to sell, we have bought a few sets, and we can solve the problems that have plagued us for many years by taking them apart and studying them."

In terms of electronic technology, China is now on par with Lao Maozi, and even surpasses it in some aspects. However, Lao Maozi can still create various advanced weapon systems because Lao Maozi has a strong integration ability. The various subsystems may not be very advanced, but when they are integrated together, they can become a powerful weapon.

   On the S-300, Lao Maozi fully demonstrated this ability.

   "Taozi, then we can start negotiations on this weapon with Lao Maozi, and introduce this weapon as soon as possible." Wu Shengli said.

   "Uncle Wu, this seems to be a matter of the Air Force. Why are you so anxious for the Navy? Do you have too much money to spend?"

Zhao Ling secretly laughed at the side, this Qin Tao is really interesting, when talking to elders, he is often rude, but he doesn't feel rude, just like in the shipyard, Qin Tao calls Qin Baoshan an old man all day long , not to make people feel disrespectful, on the contrary, there is a special kind of intimacy.

  Now, he and his father are not the same age. It would be interesting to get along in this way.

  Zhao Xiu'e has already left the dining table, and Zhang Luo is trying to make more dishes to avoid hearing something that shouldn't be heard. The others, including her daughter, are all in the relevant system, so it's okay to listen.

   "That's right, I fooled the Air Force to purchase it." Wu Shengli said: "Take the account of their Air Force. After the Air Force introduces it, the test is good. Let the Navy buy it again, or it will be better to use it."

  Now the country's strategy has not changed, and it is still the old thinking of the Continental Army. The limited power is invested in the army, and the air force is divided, and there is nothing left for the navy.

Mr. Wu is only responsible for the research and development of anti-aircraft missiles. As for the use of the army or the navy, it is not his concern. Hearing what Wu Shengli said, Mr. Wu also nodded: "Yes, it is time to fool them. However, since the introduction We estimate that it will take four to five years to fully understand the technology, and the navy's sea area air defense needs may have to wait!"

  At present, what the navy lacks most is air defense capability. The regional air defense capability is zero, and the performance of Hongqi 61 is not good. Only the sea rattlesnake can support the scene. This thing can only intercept targets about ten kilometers away. Once the interception fails, the consequences will be disastrous.

  After the domestic air defense missiles are produced, they must first be equipped with the Air Force, and both the Army and the Navy will have to wait.

  Qin Tao secretly sighed in his heart, Mr. Wu's judgment was too accurate.

  In 1991, the first S-300 battalion was introduced in China, and in 1995, the domestically produced Hongqi-9 was successfully tested. It really took four or five years.

  Used by the navy, it is even later, and it is already heading towards the new century.

   "If the Navy wants to solve the problem of regional air defense as soon as possible, I have a solution." Qin Tao said.

  Wu Shengli's eyes lit up: "Say!"

"At present, we already have a sample of the shipborne vertical launch system, and relevant departments are imitating this vertical launch system. As long as the imitation is successful, it can be installed on our warships. Then we will introduce the land-based S-300 system introduced by the Air Force. When transplanted, it can immediately support a regional air defense network of nearly 100 kilometers for the navy."

  In Lao Maozi's case, the systems of the Navy and the Homeland Defense Air Force are different, but the domestic products are different. Our navy doesn't care whether it can intercept low-altitude targets or not, let's reach things in the distance first.

   "Transplant the past? How to transplant?"

Facing the eyes of the two, Qin Tao introduced his own thinking: "For example, using our 051-class destroyer as the basis, appropriately enlarge the displacement to more than 5,000 tons, or even 7,000 tons. At the front of its hull Two sets of rotary launchers are inserted, and four are inserted in the rear, so that a warship can carry 48 area anti-aircraft missiles and become a special anti-aircraft ship."

  Wu Shengli's eyes lit up.

"As for its radar and fire control system, the air defense system on land can be completely transplanted. Find a suitable position and squat the phased array radar antenna. Even if it cannot be rotated, it can be controlled by rotating the hull Facing the direction where the threat is coming, although it is impossible to set up a four-sided phased array, this kind of one-sided array is still no problem."

  The navy has an urgent need for air defense, so Qin Tao is going to give the navy an idea. In fact, this is not what he came up with. After all, there is a ready-made example in his previous life: 051C.

  As a transitional system, everything has to be solved first before we talk about whether it is available or not!

If it is Lao Maozi's navy, the land-based and the navy are different, but the domestic development route is not like this, even if the 051C uses the Rif-M, in fact, it is no longer the same as the navy's S-300F It's too big a relationship, but it was modified from the Army's S-300PMU1. (Some information says, if you are wrong, please lightly spray.)

   "Everything is mainly based on the installation of area air defense missiles. Even if the anti-submarine and anti-ship capabilities are sacrificed, even the helicopter hangar can be removed." Qin Tao continued.

  Wu Shengli thought seriously.

The proposal proposed by Qin Tao is at least a five-year plan. After all, the current navy only has 052-class ships with more than 4,000 tons, which can be regarded as the most advanced warships in the navy. If the warships mentioned by Qin Tao are built, That would immediately solve the naval area air defense problem.

   However, there are still many problems!

   "How to solve the power system?" Wu Shengli asked.

"Power system? You can use our boiler first." Qin Tao said: "Of course, if the navy doesn't mind the speed of the warship being slightly lower, didn't we move four GTD-16000 from the old man? It's okay to make do with it first, the speed of 30 knots is enough, 27 or 8 knots is still no problem.”

  The last time I went to Lao Maozi, I bought a lot of good things, including four high-power gas turbines.

   This gas turbine, code-named GTD-16000, has a maximum power of 22,500 horsepower, four of which can drive a 12,000-ton Glory-class, and two of which are said to be able to drive a dedicated air defense destroyer of 6,000 to 7,000 tons. But, Qin Tao has never tried it, so he dare not guarantee that the speed below 30 knots can still be achieved.

  Wu Shengli was overjoyed, it was indeed a solution!

  After having those four gas turbines, the restless heart of the navy began to move again. They are studying the next generation of destroyers. However, how to build the destroyer, how much displacement, and what purpose have not yet been determined.

   Now, Qin Tao made a good suggestion to them: build two professional regional air defense warships to solve the navy's imminent air defense problem!

   Power system, what else can I say, it must be a gas turbine. After all, it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. It will definitely be very painful for the Navy to return to the old days of burning boilers.

Moreover, compared with boilers, gas turbines are small in size, which can save a lot of space. Even the chimney is much smaller, and the remaining space of the warship will be larger. Perhaps two more sets of vertical launching devices can be arranged. The last eight groups, that is 64 missiles!

  Thinking of this, Wu Shengli slapped his hand on his thigh, startling the others: "Let's do it like this!"

   "Hey, Uncle Wu, are you so excited?" Qin Tao said, "I made this suggestion, so I have one more request."

   "What request?" Wu Shengli asked.

   "These two specialized air defense destroyers are under construction at our Mingzhou shipyard."

Wu Shengli was stunned immediately: "Taozi, this, I'm afraid it will be difficult. You also know that there are many large shipyards in our country, and they are all staring at the sweet pastry of warships. Our navy has built warships in recent years. There are few plans, and your factory may not be able to compete with these big factories!"

"Can't grab it?" Qin Tao said: "Gas turbine, who got it? Who came up with the idea of ​​anti-aircraft destroyer? If you want to purchase S-300 missiles next, do you still want me to help? Uncle Wu, you guys Is that how the Navy rewarded us?"

  Wu Shengli was a little embarrassed: "Well, isn't there a task to build missile boats? This will definitely fall on you."

"That's because other factories don't have the ability." Qin Tao said: "Uncle Wu, it's already the 1990s, why does your navy still have to judge seniority? You don't have any sense of market competition! You should reform a long time ago! "

   "Reform? How to reform?" Wu Shengli asked.

"Of course it's bidding." Qin Tao said: "Look at the United States, look at European countries, and even look at civilian ships. Which order is not stolen? Those big factories want to rely on their seniority and wait for their superiors to eat. This The era has long passed! The navy's warship construction also has to bid!"

"Qin Gong is right!" Mr. Wu said with emotion, "Actually, even our missile research and development should be bid for, but we don't have the strength yet, but when it comes to warship construction, there are so many shipbuilders in China. It's time for the factory to bid!”

  Currently, the navy's warship construction process is still the same. The navy puts forward a plan, and then invites the ship design institute to design. The designed drawings are sent to the shipyard, and the shipyard builds according to the order.

   It's like feeding the shipyard!

  The shipyard who is used to feeding, once there is no order, of course it will cry and beg for the order.

   Zhongjiang Shipyard is one of them. They have built missile boats for many years, so they went to the navy leaders and cried, we have no credit but hard work, and we need to give us a few ships!

  Why does a market economy enable a country to develop? It is because in the old days when we had a big pot of rice, there was no sense of crisis, no concept of competition, and crying children had milk to drink, instead of grabbing milk by their own ability.

  Wu Shengli nodded: "You are right, this reform is imperative!"

  Wu Shengli is also a fast-paced, ready-to-do person. What Qin Tao said hits his chest.

Although on the surface, Wu Shengli does not support the Mingzhou Shipyard very much, but in fact, he has been facing the Mingzhou Shipyard during the meeting. Strength.

  If you have strength, you should have an order!

  Seeing Wu Shengli nodding, Qin Tao continued to fool around: "This competition must be a thorough competition. Learn from Western countries. Starting from the design of warships, shipyards are all responsible."

There are also many types of competition. If it is just bidding for shipbuilding, then whoever has a larger factory, more purchases, lower steel costs, and lower labor costs will win. Then their Mingzhou Shipyard still cannot compete with Huating A large shipyard such as a shipyard.

   Only if you bid with the design together, this will work.

  Wu Shengli frowned: "Design?"

"Yeah, think about it, the navy doesn't need to spend a penny before bidding. The shipyard needs to contact the ship design institute and pay for the design out of its own pocket. Even if it's just a sketch, it still costs money. Wouldn't the navy save a lot of money?” Qin Tao said: “When it's time to call for bids, the navy will choose the best among them, not only with excellent design, but also with a suitable price. For the money of two warships, three warships can be built now."

  Zhao Ling's eyes widened when she heard it. Qin Tao's plan was really ruthless, and she had the talent of a capitalist.

  Excellent technical talents, excellent businessmen, far-sighted analysts, unscrupulous capitalists, Qin Tao is really full of aura!

   "This is indeed a bold proposal. I can report it to other leaders. As for whether it can be implemented, I don't know." Wu Shengli said.

  Reforms will inevitably touch the interests of many people. If this plan is proposed, those old shipyards will definitely clamor and oppose it. Therefore, Wu Shengli does not know whether it will work or not.

  However, as far as the development of the navy is concerned, this is really a good suggestion.

Wu Shengli looked at Qin Tao, and inexplicably thought of the plan of the four-sided phased array radar that Qin Tao had mentioned before, and felt a little emotional: "Now, we have worked hard and racked our brains, but we can only do this nonsense. I don't know when we will have the same maritime air defense system as the American Aegis system.”

   "Uncle Wu, we are aggrieved now because of our arrogance in the future." Qin Tao suddenly remembered this sentence that Ju Zuo said, which is much more domineering than any bread or everything.
