Warship of Great Power Chapter 461

  Chapter 461 The disassembled parts are replaced with drawings

   The wait was too long for the Admiral Robov.

Although it is separated from those big guys by the entire city of Nikolai, it can feel the tragic fate of those old friends. The most powerful warship was fooled into scrap iron, and the Varyag was soaked in sea water for several years , has become an empty shell, and itself, is also waiting for the arrival of fate.

   What will happen to it?

   Will it stay in port until it's scrap metal? Or will it finish final assembly and join the Navy?

  It doesn't know what its ultimate destiny is, it can only wait, wait, and now, finally, it can move!

   Its belly is full of fuel, its body is shaking with excitement, and its engine is whistling happily!

The propeller at the tail turned, the rudder was also killed, and the water rushed towards the port, so the warship's buttocks slowly left the port. After leaving, its tail rudder swayed, and the huge hull continued to move backwards , when the bow completely came to the surface of the sea, it turned from backward to forward.

   "Two cars, one forward!"

  The huge warship moved forward. For this day, it didn't know how long it had been looking forward to.

  Although it has not yet completed all the outfitting work, some of its equipment has not been installed, and its surface is still rough, but it can already move, and it already has a new life!

   "Attention, activate the roof radar and scan the surrounding sea and air!" Qin Tao continued to give orders.

   This is a bit shocking, but it is better this way, just to test the various subsystems on the warship. As long as the roof radar and the S-300 system behind are intact, other things must be dismantled after returning.

  The warship slowly left the dock.

Since the shipyard of the 61st Commune is in the north of Nikolayev, if you want to enter the Black Sea from here, you have to walk along the Ingul River. At this time, the experienced Igor is giving Qin Tao some advice. .

   "In the front channel, you can't go to the center, you have to go to the left, which is safer."

"Why?"

"for safety."

for safety? Qin Tao couldn't understand it, and he realized it later, probably because he was worried that ships from outside would come in? Or are you afraid that the sailors will drive the ship away and sell it directly?

  The huge hull was wandering around the periphery of Nikolayev City. On the shore, many people were watching the excitement, pointing at this huge warship.

  Since the collapse of the Red Empire, they have never seen a warship move out of it. This is the first time!

This huge warship has aroused many people's daydreams, but after the Varyag was towed away, they no longer have any expectations. In terms of their national strength, they simply have no ability to take this kind of warship away. After the construction is completed, there is no ability to maintain the operation of this kind of warship.

   Full combustion power, the fuel consumption is astronomical!

  Many tower cranes appeared on the shore. They have come to the outskirts of the 444 shipyard, the shipyard's subordinate area, a villa, sitting alone on the terrace, watching the warship drive past.

  They accomplished another impossible! They actually purchased this warship! Makarov felt emotional in his heart.

   "Mr. Makarov, we have already arranged your itinerary. We will leave tonight."

   Makarov nodded: "I have settled everything here, and I am also looking forward to this trip to the East."

Zhang Zhen arrived in Nikolayev City at five o'clock in the afternoon. They were almost non-stop. Immediately after arriving, they rented a speedboat, came to the Black Sea, and found Robov who was sailing on the sea. Admiral.

   "The design of this warship is really weird. Why did they set up so many cable throwing areas at the rear?" A subordinate next to Zhang Zhen asked curiously.

  Ordinary warships have a wide helicopter deck at the stern, which is flush with the front.

However, the cruiser in front of me is not. It has dropped by more than one meter at the tail, and railings have been set up here to serve as the sailors' work area. I don't know if this design is necessary. In short, in its center A helicopter take-off and landing platform is supported, corresponding to only one hangar.

  If this is completed, two helicopters can be docked safely. I really don't know what the old man thinks.

However, this layout is good for Zhang Zhen and the others. It is easier for them to get from the speedboat to the warship. Moreover, there is a platform outside the stern of the ship for the convenience of throwing cables. They climbed onto this platform from the speedboat, and then It was easy to get to the stern of the ship.

  As for why the helicopter was not used, of course it is because the helicopter take-off and landing platform at the tail of this unfinished warship has not yet been completed, and the helicopter cannot directly land on it.

   After climbing up, the excited Zhang Zhen saw Qin Tao.

  "President Qin." Zhang Zhen was very happy: "I really didn't expect that we can continue to cooperate. Please rest assured that we will be able to drive this ship back!"

  At the beginning, the Dongfang Sea Ducheng had no power, so they got it back anyway. The power system of the warship in front of them is intact, so what do they have to worry about? It must be able to drive back steadily.

   "I will leave this warship to you." Qin Tao said, "It is a powerful warship. After joining our navy, it will become our flagship!"

  Dongfang Maritime City is still holding a pipa half-hidden, this cruiser is unnecessary, even if it is purchased as a warship, it will be converted into an arsenal ship when it goes back, and it will be openly opened, who dares to stop it?

"yes!"

   "Check it first, if there is no problem, I will go down." Qin Tao said, half a day at sea is enough, he can't stay on this warship forever, or even go back with it.

   That's just a waste of time.

"yes."

   "There is a problem with the naval gun here!" Soon, an officer who came with him said, "Let me see, its production date is actually 1980!"

  Looking at this AK-630 naval gun, the big guy couldn't help but be amazed, it shouldn't be!

  This warship started construction in the mid-1980s. How could it use the close-in anti-aircraft guns produced in the 1980s?

   "The ones over here are too!"

  They discovered one after another.

   "If I'm not mistaken, it should use the naval gun on the warship just named Moskva."

  The first ship of the 1164-type cruiser has always been called Glory, which belongs to the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet. It was not named Moscow until May 1995. Before that, it had been lying on the dock for several years.

  In the past few years, people have been proposing to abandon the Glory. After all, the Black Sea Fleet does not need such a large warship, which can save money.

Even the embarrassing Black Sea Fleet sold the AK-630 naval gun on this warship, and sold it to Ermao, who was also in embarrassment, and installed it on the Admiral Robov for a long time Ermao once tried to build this warship, and the Glory of the same model became its most suitable organ donor.

However, after it was named the Moscow, the mayor of Moscow was very enthusiastic and specially allocated 3.5 billion rubles from municipal funds, about more than 7 million US dollars, plus some private donations, and finally completed the repair of the warship , became the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet again. (It can be seen that it is still useful to name warships with place names.)

  As for Ermao, it was only after the Admiral Robov was sold around to no avail that he decided to rename the warship Ermao, and then tightened his belt to complete the construction of this warship.

   Of course, it was not built in the end.

   Now, Qin Tao and the others came to buy, and it was just at the right time, and the price of 100 million US dollars is not too expensive. You know, the Air Force bought two Su-27s for this price.

   After all, this is a 10,000-ton cruiser!

   Originally, I had no hope, but it turned out to be a coincidence. Qin Tao was also very excited.

   After playing in the sea, Qin Tao had to go back. When he got back to the shore, he saw Zheng Ming, but he saw Zheng Ming's face was very ugly.

"What's wrong?"

   "Ermao said that we can carry out the transaction of this warship without any obstacles, but if we want the design drawing of the warship, we need to pay another 100 million US dollars."

  Going back to renovate, without design drawings.

  Because I didn't plan to buy it, Qin Tao didn't pay much attention to it. I haven't talked about the blueprint.

   Now, the project is finally about to be finalized, but Ermao gave it another go. If you want blueprints, you can get another 100 million!

Although the total price is 200 million, it is not much to drive this warship back, and the Hyundai class still costs 200 million, but now, it is still very speechless to be slaughtered by others. After all, there is no blueprint for the Varyag. It takes so much!

   No matter how good it is on the surface, in the end, the interests are the most important. It is not surprising that Ermao can make this choice.

   "Okay, let's talk about the warship first." Qin Tao said, "We'll talk about the drawings later."

talk about it later?

  Zheng Ming looked at Qin Tao: "Boss Qin, do we have another solution?"

   "Not only do they have blueprints here, Da Mao also has blueprints!"

   "Where is Da Mao? That's right!" Zheng Ming's eyes lit up: "This cruiser was designed by Da Mao's Northern Design Bureau. They must have blueprints there, but Da Mao will not miss this opportunity!"

"Yes, Da Mao will also ask us for a high price, but we have this warship in our hands!" Qin Tao said: "If they want to repair the Moscow, they have to spend money to purchase parts, which are not needed on our warship. Parts can be provided to Da Mao and exchanged with their drawings, I think they will accept it."

   Drawings for parts!

  Da Mao has no way to exchange directly with Ermao, they have to spend 100 million to buy the ship first, if they have the money to buy it, they will not be able to get Dongfang.

   Now, Qin Tao and the others have bought the boat. Many parts on it are thrown away. It is better to exchange them for things and make the best use of them.

The anti-ship missile launchers on both sides, as well as the brackets, are useless and can be removed. Those medium-range air defense missiles are not going to be used anymore. Many electronic devices are also planned to be replaced by domestic ones. These are all removed. , enough for the modification of the Moskva.

   Even the six AK-630 naval guns can be disassembled and sold to them.

   Zheng Ming breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what problems he encountered, Mr. Qin can solve them, Mr. Qin is amazing!

the next day.

"Boss Qin, thanks to your reminder, we avoided being fooled by those **** Yankees." Asnayev said: "Now, the purchase procedures for the entire ship have been completed. That warship, you guys It's ready to go."

  Looking at the materials, Qin Tao was very satisfied: "Great, I thought this kind of procedure would take several months, and there would even be bidding."

   "Of course not." Asnayev said: "We will never be at the mercy of others again!"

   "In this world, you must keep your eyes open to see who is really good to you." Qin Tao said: "An independent country must stand up and do what it wants to do."

   "That's right, you're right." Asnayev nodded: "Boss Qin, can we talk about the drawings then?"

   "My friend, the matter of blueprints may still take a while. After all, we only collected 100 million dollars, and we don't have more funds to buy blueprints yet."

  A trace of regret flashed in Asnayev's eyes.

   Originally wanted to sell 100 million more, but these people didn't buy it?

  However, if they don't buy it now, they will have to buy it in the future. If they want to use the warship, they must have the original blueprint!

  Thinking of this, he felt relieved. After all, the price required for the drawing is not low, and it is normal for the customer not to prepare the money in advance. When they drove the warship back and ran into trouble during the refit, they had to come to ask their own side.

   At that time, the price of 100 million US dollars may not be enough?

   "Okay, then let's make this deal first, Mr. Qin, where are you going to go next?"

   "Where else can I go, wander around and get some good things back." Qin Tao said with a smile.

Hearing what Qin Tao said, Asnayev showed a knowing smile and expressed his understanding to him, but if Asnayev knew what Qin Tao was going to do, he would definitely be very happy now up.

After all the formalities were completed and the money and goods were cleared, the Admiral Robov sailed towards the Tuji Strait under the control of the crew, while Qin Tao took Xu Zhengyang, Zheng Ming and others to leave by plane and set foot on the on the way to St. Petersburg.

  Damao North Design Bureau.

   This is the largest surface ship design bureau in Da Mao. Almost all surface ships are designed in this design bureau. Since its establishment in 1946, it has designed more than 450 warships with a total displacement of more than 1 million tons.

  Qin Tao has also dealt with this design bureau many times.

  When Qin Tao came to the Northern Design Bureau again, he was immediately warmly welcomed by the design bureau. Shishkin, the person in charge, cheerfully welcomed Qin Tao and others into the meeting room.

"Welcome everyone to our Northern Design Bureau. Now, our improved 956 destroyer has completed all the design drawings, and we are waiting for your arrival. You have a 1164-type cruiser and two 956-type cruisers, or If it is not enough, you must have more warships to meet your needs."

   Only then did Qin Tao realize that these people welcomed him so much that he thought he was here to purchase a modern-class destroyer!

  In the past few years, the Eastern Navy has started the mode of buying, buying, and buying. The Modern Class, Kilo Class, and Glorious Class have all been bought. According to the previous foreshadowing, Da Mao is still looking forward to the Eastern Navy buying more Modern Classes.

   Also, their design is pretty good.

   "The specific design is still in accordance with our previous plan." Shishkin said: "We have introduced it to you last time. This time, we will introduce it in detail again."

  Looking at the design drawings printed on the projection screen, Qin Tao knew how much they were looking forward to. In this case, we can't let them down, Qin Tao pretended to listen carefully.

   After talking about the design drawings, Qin Tao asked seriously: "You have abandoned the original boiler and adopted a gas turbine. This will inevitably lead to a substantial increase in the cost of the warship, right?"

   "Yes, but the gas turbine is already an inevitable choice for the navy. It starts quickly and speeds up quickly. If you want the warship to dispatch quickly, you must use the gas turbine."

   "However, the gas turbine you designed and used should be the second-generation product of Shuguang Plant. Do they still produce this type of gas turbine there? I understand that the third-generation product there should be UGT15000?"

   "That's right, DA80 is a second-generation gas turbine, but its performance is very stable and its power is sufficient. It has more than half the power of the third-generation UGT15000. If you want to drive this 8,000-ton destroyer, you can only use DA80."

   "However, I heard that they are developing UGT25000." Qin Tao continued: "The power of this gas turbine is the same as that of DA80."

   "What, UGT-25000?" Hearing Qin Tao's words, Shishkin was a little surprised: "Have they successfully developed it?"

  Since Da Mao and Er Mao separated, there has been less contact between them. Therefore, they don't know whether the gas turbine mentioned by Qin Tao has been developed.

  Qin Tao thought for a while: "I don't know, but this project has been going on for five or six years, so it should have been developed. Moreover, they probably have stopped production of the DA80 gas turbine."

  Shishkin nodded, of course he also knew that before the collapse of the Red Empire, the Suguang Design Bureau had already started to develop this upgrade model, and now, after so much tossing, it is estimated that it has already been produced.

   "So, in terms of gas turbines, we hope that this kind of warship can be replaced with the latest model. Let's talk about this after you have improved this part of the design."

  Zheng Ming was at a loss when he heard it from the sidelines. When did we say that we will continue to purchase modern grades? However, he has rich experience, and he will definitely not demolish Qin Tao at this time. It is obvious that Qin is always fooling the other party.

  Shishkin nodded: "Okay, then we will contact the Shuguang Bureau as soon as possible, and within a month, we can complete the replacement design of this gas turbine."

   "Okay, let's meet again in a month." Qin Tao planted hope for the other party, then thought of something, and said to the other party with a smile: "Mr. Shishkin, is your navy interested in this kind of warship?"

  Hearing Qin Tao's question, Shishkin's face was very ugly: "Of course the navy is interested, but the navy doesn't even have enough funds to maintain the operation of the existing warships, so how can they purchase brand new warships."

   "Maybe, wait a few years, and wait until the economic situation improves, it will be possible?"

"The economy is getting better? These **** guys, when they said slogans, they were all hype. They only chanted slogans. The economy of this country is a mess. They can't do anything except sell some oil and gas. Ten years later inside, you won't see the economy turn around.”

   Speaking of this matter, Shishkin is very pessimistic.

   "Since you have no ability to support this 956 modification, then the 1164 model is even more impossible?" Qin Tao asked.

   "That kind of 10,000-ton cruiser? Of course it's impossible."

   "That is to say, the design drawings of this kind of warship are useless to you?"

  Shishkin nodded: "Yes, it's useless."

   When he finished speaking, he suddenly realized: "Boss Qin, do you want the blueprint of the Type 1164 cruiser?"

  Just now, Shishkin was a little excited and said some complaints. He didn't expect that these words were actually Qin Tao's intentional tricks on him!

   It is impossible to take back the words that have been spoken and the water that has been spilled.

  Shishkin felt a little uncomfortable.

   "Yes, within ten years, you will not be able to build cruisers anymore, so the blueprints for this kind of cruiser are useless to you. We hope to get these blueprints."

   "This is impossible. There are three Type 1164 cruisers in our navy. It is impossible for us to reveal the secrets of these cruisers. The drawings cannot be given to you."

  Qin Tao smiled: "We have already got the fourth cruiser, which is the same model as your cruiser, so there is no secret anymore."

   "That will not work, Moscow will not agree."

   "Moscow? Speaking of these, I thought about it, the Moskva, has a lot of things been dismantled now, right? Do you want to restore that warship?"

Faced with the country's decline, Shishkin was heartbroken. Of course, he also knew the current situation of the navy and the condition of the Moskva. The Black Sea Fleet could no longer support it. Ermao who was also poor.

  However, that warship is the most powerful warship in the Black Sea Fleet after all, and many people are looking forward to recovering that warship.

   Restoration requires a lot of money.

   "We have already purchased the No. 4 ship. We don't need many things on it. So, when we drive that warship back, we need to disassemble a lot of things. If you need it, we can make an exchange."

  Qin Tao threw out his own bait, which was absolutely irresistible to the other party: "Give us the blueprint, so that we can better disassemble the above equipment, disassemble the unnecessary, and then give it to you, how about it?"

  Shishkin was overwhelmed by the proposal.

   Use blueprints to replace parts, and then repair the Moskva?

"We also heard about the situation of the Moscow, so we made this decision. After all, those things that were removed are useless to us, such as some electronic equipment on the bridge, such as anti-ship missiles. Launch tubes, anti-aircraft missile launchers and loading mechanisms, etc. As you probably know, we plan to transform it into an arsenal ship. Many things on it will have to be dismantled." Qin Tao said: "We are good friends after all, so I came here specifically to negotiate with you."

   "President Qin, your plan is very attractive to us, but we need to contact Moscow before we can make a decision."

   "Okay, I'll wait for you for three days, and I'll go back after three days."

   PS: There are three more changes in the future, and there are five changes in total today.
