Warship of Great Power Chapter 427

  Chapter 427 Here comes the fisherman

It was not the first time Xu Zhengyang saw Vitalia. After he became Qin Tao's bodyguard secretary, he followed Qin Tao and had several contacts with Vitalia. He even went to Vitalia's Home.

  This person's identity and background are very unusual, but Mr. Qin can become friends with such a person. Moreover, it is said that he met him before the other's family had a fortune, so the relationship is naturally extraordinary.

  So, the dispute between the two now is not about wanting more benefits for themselves, but about giving more benefits to the other party.

  After arguing for a long time, an agreement was finally reached: Vitalia took 18.88 million, and the remaining 70 million belonged to the start-up capital of Green Ventures.

   "Qin, our company's application is not a problem, but how to operate it next?" Vitalia raised a new question.

   "Next, of course, we must first buy a scrapped aircraft carrier, buy it back and refit it, just like our Kiev park."

  Vitalia nodded: "So, where should we purchase aircraft carriers? Shall we go to those countries that have aircraft carriers?"

   "Of course not, as long as we announce the news to the public, someone will definitely come to sell it."

   Qin Tao and I had a good idea. After they rented a space in the office building in Magang, where the land was very expensive, only two days later, the first client came to the door.

"Our aircraft carrier Clemenceau is the most powerful war machine of this era. Now, our Charles de Gaulle is about to enter service, so we will retire this aircraft carrier. For you, this aircraft carrier is the best choice.” Duquesne spat and splashed stars: “In the eastern city, it will also usher in a new destiny, and we are very much looking forward to seeing the scene where it receives countless tourists.”

   "So, how much do you plan to sell?" Vitalia has already entered the working state, and seriously considers it.

   “Our prices are so cheap, we sell them for a dollar.”

  The French did this trick again.

   "One dollar? Are there any additional conditions?" Vitalia looked at Duquesne with her big eyes blinking.

"Yes, because it is not for military use, it needs to dismantle the weapons and equipment on it, and if it wants to turn it into a blocking field, relevant changes must be made, so we estimate that it will cost about 50 million U.S. dollars. Our The only requirement is that you pay the cost of the modification and carry out the modification at our shipyard."

They have already found out that on the first day Vitalia came to Magang, she touched the local boss and blackmailed 88.88 million US dollars, so now they want 50 million US dollars, they should Not too much of an issue.

   "OK, we can think about it."

  Vitalia sent Duquena off politely.

   "Qin, what do you think of the French aircraft carrier?" After returning, Vitalia asked Qin Tao who was hiding in the partition of the conference room.

  "French aircraft carriers use a lot of toxic materials. Our distinguished guests must not relax in a toxic environment, so their plan is excluded."

   Qin Tao excluded the French aircraft carrier for a simple reason.

  Guests come to Chuanglv Company's aircraft carrier to have fun, not to cause trouble. As long as the news of the poison spreads, they will not even think about operating it.

  Vitalia nodded.

   "Of course, you can hang the Frenchman so that you can negotiate prices with other people."

  The second customer came to the door two days later. This is an old man with white hair, but he is in good spirits. His piercing eyes show that he is from the military.

"My name is Stroh. I used to be the captain of the Saratoga aircraft carrier. This aircraft carrier was decommissioned a few months ago. I hope you can buy it." When Stroh said this , with some emotion: "If no one buys it, it is likely to enter the shipbreaking yard and be dismantled into scrap iron. We don't want to see this happen."

  Qin Tao, who was hiding in the partition and eavesdropping, was a little surprised.

  The USS Saratoga?

   The former main aircraft carrier of the Americans!

   On this planet, the country that manufactures the most aircraft carriers is definitely the Americans. After the end of the Cold War, they still retain the size of ten aircraft carriers.

   There are new aircraft carriers entering service continuously, and old aircraft carriers are constantly decommissioning.

At the same time, many new aircraft carriers will continue the name of the old aircraft carrier, such as the Saratoga, which used to be the name of a fast aircraft carrier during World War II, numbered CV-3, which can be regarded as famous, and was once very famous because it was almost perfect I missed all the naval battles, have been rushing to repair, have been lazy, and have been soy sauce.

  The Saratoga decommissioned last year is a CV-60 with a full load displacement of 80,000 tons. It is a multi-purpose aircraft carrier and has performed many missions.

   Moreover, its fate is also embarrassing.

After the aircraft carrier is decommissioned, there are only a few uses. If you are lucky, you will be sold to other countries' navies to continue serving. If you are less lucky, you will be used as a maritime museum, aircraft carrier park, etc., and if you are unlucky, you will be used as a target. Ships are sunk, broken up, etc.

Moreover, it is only a symbolic charge, and it may even be a subsidy. For example, in the era when the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the United States is decommissioned, the cost of dismantling is too high. Disassemble the past.

The Saratoga is of course a conventionally powered aircraft carrier. After decommissioning in August last year, people who had worked on this aircraft carrier began to organize spontaneously, trying to raise enough funds to keep this aircraft carrier. The warship serves as a maritime museum.

However, they did not raise enough money, so in May 1995, the aircraft carrier was towed to the Philadelphia Navy Yard to dismantle various systems and then sent to the Naval Education and Training Center in Newport, Rhode Island. As a test ship, but on January 1, 2000, it was determined to be used as a donation ship.

   In this way, until 2010, the Saratoga, which was still in storage, ended its donation status and was directly scrapped.

  So, judging from the history Qin Tao knows, it makes sense for the warship in front of him to be sold as a blockade at sea. However, as long as he thinks a little more, he can find the problem.

   Yankees rarely sell their aircraft carriers. If they are willing to sell decommissioned aircraft carriers, countries like Ah San must rush to buy them.

   They don't, why?

  Of course, I'm afraid of leaking the secret, even if it's an empty shell, what if someone buys it back to test the strength of the attack resistance, and then finds the weak link of their aircraft carrier?

  No matter how real Green Green is doing, Americans will definitely be able to find out the relationship between Green Green and Mingzhou Group, so Americans will definitely not have such kindness.

   Then, there is only one answer!

When Vitalia sent the visitor away, Xu Zhengyang couldn't wait to say: "Mr. Qin, this Jiang Taigong is fishing, and those who wish to take the bait! If we can hang the fish from the American aircraft carrier, that would be great." Already!"

  Qin Tao smiled: "Fishing? You know it's fishing too. Do you know who's fishing for whom?"

  Xu Zhengyang was taken aback.

  Vitalia came back and excitedly said to Qin Tao: "The Americans have also come to sell their decommissioned aircraft carrier. Their price is 70 million, which is also within the range we can afford."

  Qin Tao shook his head: "No, we don't consider their aircraft carrier."

   "Why?" Vitalia was confused.

  The French aircraft carrier is poisonous, but the American aircraft carrier should have no such problem, right?

  Qin Tao smiled, why? If this contract is signed, just wait to be played by the Americans! I am not stupid, and I am determined not to take the bait.

   Now, I refused for a simple reason.

   "Because the draft is too deep."

  Vitalia suddenly realized.

  The US aircraft carriers are all big guys. I'm afraid they won't be able to stop at Magang. If they come back and find that there is no place to dock, wouldn't they be dumbfounded? Why didn't I think of such a simple question?

   That evening.

   "Boss Qin, I need to write a report to my superior. Can you tell me your analysis?" Xu Zhengyang asked Qiu Tao for help.

   "You are my secretary, you still use me to teach you?"

"This kind of thing that the former captain came to sell has never happened before. Even considering that they have a lot of affection for this aircraft carrier and want to make this aircraft carrier live a more decent life, they will not sell it to us. That's all I can think of right now."

  Xu Zhengyang must analyze this report thoroughly.

"The Yankee's aircraft carrier will be sealed for ten or twenty years after it is retired. If there is a world war, it can be pulled out. Therefore, it is impossible to sell the Saratoga that was retired last year to us. They just want to fish , you still don't understand?"

  Xu Zhengyang suddenly realized: "They are waiting for us to take the bait. If we reveal a strong will and work hard to advance this matter, it means that there is something wrong with our green innovation company, and we plan to buy an aircraft carrier that can be used for military purposes!"

"If we want to make a deal, we have to pay first. When we go to sail, they will seize the people and the boat together. Especially me, they will never let it go, and when the time comes, they will use their money." The law judges me."

  Xu Zhengyang was shocked.

   "Aren't these Yankees too dark?"

"Yeah, but the Stroh they sent should really want to find a good home for the Saratoga. I think this person can be used. Maybe he can fool him and his people. Come to us and help us master the operation technology of the aircraft carrier."

  When the other party talked with Vitalia, his words were sincere and sincere. This guy was also used by the Americans.

   Meat buns beat dogs, once they go and never come back, I will let this Stroh go and never come back!

  Wait, this description doesn't seem right, so I became a dog?

  Qin Tao smiled speechlessly.

  Xu Zhengyang has already begun to write vigorously.

  The American aircraft carrier is indeed a good thing, but the Americans attach great importance to aircraft carrier technology, and they simply do not allow their own aircraft carrier technology to leak out.

  So, even if you know it's a good thing, you don't have the ability to get it.

  However, don't worry, the motherland will have more advanced aircraft carriers than the United States in the future.

  Qin Tao is full of confidence.

  Vitalia was mixed between the French and the Americans with ease, but people from other countries never came over.

  Qin Tao was a little curious. Could it be that Ermao still regards the Varyag as a favorite? Haven't they already run into walls everywhere?

  The Spring Festival in 1995 came earlier, on January 30th, it was New Year's Eve.

  So, when Qin Tao stayed in Magang until January 20, he finally decided not to wait any longer.

   "Weina, we are going back, do you want to stay here, or go back to Mingzhou with us?"

  After hearing Qin Tao's question, Vitalia didn't hesitate at all: "Of course I will go to Mingzhou with you. Will Qin and Zhao go back too?"

  Qin Tao nodded: "That's natural."

  The child is already a few months old. Last year's Spring Festival was spent in Huating. This year's Spring Festival, of course I will take the child back to Mingzhou.

   "Then let's go back quickly, I want to see your child, and I want to be a godmother for the child!"

   It was rare for Vitalia to be so enthusiastic, so the next day, after packing up everything, Qin Tao and his party left Magang and returned to Mingzhou.

  Although the Chinese New Year is approaching, the Mingzhou Shipyard is still a lively scene.

  Sparks of the arc fly, and ships are under construction.

   Looking from the shipyard, even Dalie Mountain in the middle of the river is constantly busy.

   "Qin, every time I come here, I feel different. Are the islands in the river over there still under development?"

   "Our nuclear power plant will be built there." Qin Tao said: "The construction has just started, and the construction period will probably take at least one year."

  Nuclear power plant? Vitalia was extremely surprised: "You Mingzhou Group actually want to start building a nuclear power plant?"

   "Why can't we build nuclear power plants?"

   "Your group has developed into a behemoth, involved in shipbuilding, metallurgy, electricity, energy, and all aspects." Vitalia said: "It's really amazing, your development is too fast."

   "Then do you want to go up and have a look?" Seeing Vitalia's excited look, Qin Tao sent out an invitation. Anyway, the construction of the nuclear power plant cannot be hidden from anyone, and the satellites flying overhead every day will also take pictures of it.

   "Okay." Vitalia readily agreed: "Qin, you probably don't know that we went to Chernobyl in pursuit of excitement."

   These rich second generations are really idle and bored, looking for excitement everywhere, Qin Tao is very emotional.

  Chernobyl has made the whole world change its colors. Many surrounding areas have been enclosed and become no-man's land, as if no one lives there.

  In fact, although part of it exploded, the rest is still working. After entering the 21st century, the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is still the most important power supply organization in Ermao. Of course there have to be staff there too.

  The no-man's land nearby has become a paradise for some explorers.

  Qin Tao also wants to see the progress of the nuclear power plant.

  Thus, a few people boarded Dalie Mountain on a boat transporting construction equipment.

  Because the nuclear power plant is to verify the performance of the nuclear reactor, Dalie Mountain has also been designated as a military control area, and there are guard posts all around, so it is impossible for ordinary people to come up.

  Qin Tao was a good boy when he was a child, he was always studying, and when he grew up, he started to lead the shipyard all the way, so Qin Tao didn't come to Dalieshan much.

The entire Dalie Mountain has an area of ​​only 0.38 kilometers. It belongs to a tiny place, and no one usually comes here. It's just that in the 1970s, some people used to cultivate kelp here, so it looks very primitive here, like a paradise. generally.

  The entire mountain is made of earth, and a road has been opened up. Just to the east of the highest peak in the northeast of Dalie Mountain, modern construction is in full swing.

  The back is against the mountains, even if there is an accident, you can rely on the hillside to cover it.

   Of course, that's just the worst-case scenario.

  Reinforced concrete buildings have been erected, and countless workers are busy there.

  When he saw Qin Tao coming, Krasnopolski ran over: "Mr. Qin, our construction is going well..."

  Before he finished speaking, he noticed Vitalia who came with Qin Tao. He didn't understand how there was a big hairy woman beside Qin Tao. Could it be that she came to help?

   "This is my business partner, Vitalia, her father is..."

  Qin Tao gave a brief introduction, and Krasnopolski was shocked immediately, and hurried over to shake hands: "Dear Miss Vitalia, nice to meet you."

  Vitalia nodded: "The nuclear power plant here is very strange. It is too small, and it is far from our Chernobyl nuclear power plant!"

Only nuclear reactors on submarines pursue compactness. After all, nuclear submarines have limited space. Nuclear power plants on land don't care about their size, so they are all very large. Take the outer protective layer as an example. The nuclear power plant uses cement, which is often several meters thick. Lead plates are used on nuclear submarines.

  The state of the nuclear submarine is to be completely simulated here, so the nuclear reactor is almost copied, and the outer lead layer remains unchanged, so the size of the nuclear power plant is very small.

Moreover, the nuclear power plant also has a large chimney. What comes out of this chimney is not the polluted gas from the boiler, but clean water vapor. This chimney is actually a cooling tower, which is used to cool the high-temperature and high-pressure steam into water, and then continue recycled.

  However, although the nuclear power plant here also has a chimney, it looks quite small, and it is still a backup.

  Naturally, there is a condenser on the nuclear submarine, and it needs to complete the cooling function by itself. There is no need to spray water for cooling, and there will be no water vapor.

Since the power of this experimental nuclear reactor is very large and the condenser required is also large, it must be confirmed that this thing can work normally, so these devices will also be installed. In fact, there is no need for a chimney at all, just to prevent accidents , just designed a spare, so naturally it won't be very big.

   "You are right. After all, the power of the nuclear power plant here is far less than that of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant." Qin Tao replied.

The two really cannot be compared. The Chernobyl nuclear power plant RBMK-1000, in terms of serial number, has a nuclear reactor of 1,000 megawatts. In fact, each reactor can reach a maximum power of 3,200 megawatts, and there are four reactors. Well, if those reactors are brought to the country and a similar scale is built here in Dalieshan, it will be enough for the entire south to use electricity.

  The current construction of the Dalieshan Nuclear Power Plant has a nuclear reactor power of only 170 megawatts.

  Of course, this is actually quite a lot. The domestically designed Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant has a power of only 30 megawatts.

  Comparing these data, we can also know how huge and outrageous the things that Lao Maozi did during his time.

   "President Qin, Madam is back." At this moment, Xu Zhengyang said to Qin Tao.

  Vitalia was overjoyed immediately: "Great, I want to go back and have a look!"

   "Zhengyang, take Miss Vitalia back." Qin Tao immediately arranged.

   After Vitalia left, Qin Tao continued to investigate in Dalieshan.

"Nuclear reactors have been assembled by relevant domestic units and are expected to be delivered in three months." Krasnopolsky said: "According to the original arrangement, all weapons-grade nuclear materials were used. , can be used for more than 20 years, or even 30 years. Qin, the number of nuclear warheads you have decommissioned is really quite a lot."

  Qin Tao smiled: "I'm guessing it's all used up now. If you want to build the same type in the future, you may have to go abroad to find it. There should be a lot of stocks there."

Krasnopolsky nodded: "That's right, especially Ermao, who still has more than a thousand strategic nuclear weapons and related delivery tools, but those things are also under the supervision of the United States, so if you want to It is not easy to get it from there, on the contrary, Baimao or Kazakhstan are subject to much less monitoring, so if you want to get it in private, these two countries are the first choice.” (Part 1 of the strategy. More than a thousand, plus the tactical level, it is said that three or four thousand.)

  Qin Tao's eyes lit up.

  After the collapse of the Red Empire, the huge family property was divided by various independent countries. Among them, Da Mao got the most, followed by Er Mao.

  Of course Ermao knows that there is no need for them to continue to retain nuclear power. After all, this thing is too expensive, and they don't have the funds to play it.

   But at the same time, they don't want to just hand over the mushroom bombs obediently. Ermao, Da Mao, and the United States have been negotiating all the time, hoping to use these mushroom bombs to obtain more benefits.

Therefore, the relevant agreement started to be negotiated in 1991, and it was not officially reached until 1995. The United States provided a large sum of money to help destroy these nuclear weapons, and also took out the raw materials in the nuclear warheads, doped some uranium 238, and reduced After concentration, it was used as the nuclear material of the nuclear power plant and provided back to Ermao, turning the sword into a plow.

   One after another, until the new millennium, the last batch of mushroom bombs was destroyed.

  Although Er Mao currently has a lot of mushroom bombs on hand, there is no doubt that they are all under supervision.

   On the contrary, the obedient Baimao and Ha Guo are not so valued.

   If you want to get more nuclear materials, you have to start with these two countries.

  Qin Tao took Krasnopolsky's words seriously: "Yes, you are right, it seems that we have to hurry up, and we can't delay the production of our future nuclear submarines."

   "If you want to find these people, I know the person in charge of Semipalatinsk, but I don't know if he is still there." Krasnopolsky said.

  Qin Tao was extremely excited. It's easy to do things with acquaintances!
