Warship of Great Power Chapter 586

  Chapter 586 Map of the Wasteland Village Base-22M

  Wu Shengli glanced at Qin Tao: "If I listen, I will definitely be tempted."

   "If you are tempted, let's start construction!" Qin Tao said: "Dad, these two warships are really important. Let me first introduce you to the design plan of the national defense mobilization ship."

  National defense mobilization ship?

  Wu Shengli opened his eyes wide, this name is very strange!

"This is a modular warship with a displacement of about 10,000 tons. It can be quickly converted into a hospital ship, helicopter carrier, and transport ship. It can meet our needs for ocean-going sailing training, helicopter training, medical rescue training, national defense mobilization exercises, and Comprehensive training and other functions."

Qin Tao first introduced the national defense mobilization ship Shichang. This warship looks like a container cargo ship with a large deck. At least two or three helicopters can take off and land on this deck at the same time. In the future, after the vertical take-off and landing fighter is finalized, it can also conduct vertical take-off and landing training.

  On this wide deck, other modules can be added according to the occupancy needs. For example, by installing special container-modified medical modules and ward modules, it can become a specialized floating hospital at sea, which is equivalent to the size of a municipal central hospital.

  Of course, the most important thing is ocean-going sailing training. There are more than ten practical training cabins on this warship, including a special teaching and training command room, a nautical chart operation classroom, a communication practice reporting room, and a host control laboratory. It can guarantee more than 200 trainees and more than 40 instructors to conduct medium and long-distance voyage training at one time.

   After Qin Tao finished speaking, Wu Shengli was a little tempted: "This sounds really good!"

   "Yes, if we want to build a strong navy, we must have a professional training ship. The navy can't hold back on this aspect. This will delay the training of naval talents!"

   "Hey, I was moved by you again, please write a report, the Navy needs to do some special research."

   "Well, no problem." Qin Tao was very happy. He thought of something, and continued to ask Wu Shengli: "Dad, where are you going next?"

"Next, go to the north, first go to the Bincheng Shipyard to see the 052B there, and then go to the carrier-based aircraft training base to see the construction site of the catapult that will be launched there." Wu Shengli said: "Why, do you want to go with me? I go together?"

   "During the bidding last time, Director Sun said that I was welcome to be a guest. In the past one or two years, I haven't been to Bincheng Shipyard much." Qin Tao really had an idea.

   "You really want to go? Aren't you afraid of being punched out?"

Before the rise of the Mingzhou Group, the Bincheng Shipyard was the big brother of warship construction. The 051 destroyer was mainly built in the Bincheng Shipyard. Even if the Mingzhou Group was not born, the modification of the Varyag would be It was carried out at the Ben Thanh shipyard.

   This is tantamount to saying that Mingzhou Group has robbed the light of Bincheng Shipyard.

"Hit? They have to treat me as a guest." Qin Tao said with a smile: "If they dare not welcome me, then our Mingzhou Iron and Steel Plant will not provide Invar steel, so that their shipyards cannot deliver LNG ships in time !"

Although it grabbed the business of warships, in terms of civilian ships, Mingzhou Group has driven the development of liquefied natural gas ships. Now, more than 50% of the world's natural gas ships are produced in the East, and various shipyards With the help of Mingzhou Group, they all developed, so no one would complain about Mingzhou Group.

At this time, hearing what Qin Tao said, Wu Shengli also nodded: "Yes, you are the guests of various shipyards in China, even if they can't get an order for a warship, you have to treat Mingzhou Group Thanks Dade."

"Dad, how do you say this sourly?" Qin Tao looked at Wu Shengli dissatisfiedly: "Don't worry, our Mingzhou Group is not alone, and among other things, the Navy's next batch of 054 frigates For orders, we can distribute several orders to Huating Shipyard, and in the future, when there are more orders for naval aircraft carriers, we can also distribute them to Bincheng Shipyard."

  Are there too many aircraft carrier orders?

  Wu Shengli looked at Qin Tao with emotion: "Only you dare to think, how many aircraft carriers does our navy have?"

   "Two or three ships are definitely not enough, at least five or six ships are needed."

  Hearing Qin Tao's affirmative answer, Wu Shengli smiled: "Five or six ships? Your dad and I didn't even dare to think like that when our dreams were the happiest."

   "Dad, did you ever think that there would be an aircraft carrier so soon?"

  Wu Shengli shook his head, really didn't dare to think about it, could there really be five or six ships in the future?

  Bencheng Shipyard is located in the north, and it is still ice and snow at this time, but the shipyard is a lively scene.

  The berth was full, and the sparks of the arc flew, and the huge ship was slowly formed in the hands of the workers.

   "Mr. Qin, welcome to visit our Bincheng Shipyard." Sun Xuewen said enthusiastically to Qin Tao: "You Mingzhou Group is the bread and butter of our Bincheng Shipyard!"

   "Where we are, we are all colleagues, and we will have more exchanges in the future." Qin Tao said: "Your side is an old shipyard, and it is the object of our Mingzhou Group's study."

  Wu Shengli was very moved to see the mutual humility between the two parties here. After the development of Mingzhou Group, he did not forget other domestic shipbuilding peers, which drove the development of the entire Eastern shipbuilding industry. It is very good!

   "We came here this time to see the construction of the 052B." Qin Tao said, "Where is that ship? I didn't see it!"

   "Oh, we are still ahead. Our progress is not as fast as yours. We just welded the hull and there is no superstructure, so we can't see the outline." Sun Xuewen said.

   I have to sigh with emotion that Mingzhou Group has accumulated a lot of experience in warship construction, and their Bincheng Shipyard has not received an order for warships for several years, so it has already been handmade!

Of course, there are other reasons as well. Mingzhou Group's ability to build ships so quickly is inseparable from the advanced equipment they have at hand. Among other things, the appearance of that 3D CNC bending machine is Let their shipbuilding speed increase by one-third than before.

"Although the progress is a bit slower, we can just wait for the gas turbines of Institute 703, otherwise we will not be able to launch." Sun Xuewen didn't feel ashamed at all. It is already very good to get an order from the army. He wants to compare the progress of Mingzhou Group Faster? That's simply impossible!

  The factory under 703 also takes time to produce gas turbines. The first two are used for 052C, and their 052B still has to wait for a while, and the construction period is slower, just waiting for the arrival of gas turbines.

   At this time, looking at the hull being welded, Wu Shengli was also full of emotion, the progress here is much slower!

   "It's never too late for a good meal. Although the construction progress of our warship is not very fast, we believe that this warship is the most suitable for the current navy, and it has achieved the best balance between cost and performance."

   In front of Qin Tao, Sun Xuewen started boasting again.

   "Old Sun, I don't know if I should say something or not."

   "Say, our old grandson can bear it."

   "In the future, our navy will not be short of money. What the navy wants is performance, and the cost is just a cloud."

  Hearing what Qin Tao said, Wu Shengli shook his head quickly: "No, Director Sun, don't listen to him. Our navy attaches great importance to cost. Of course we hope that the cost can be lower."

  Qin Tao's words are absolutely incorrect. Who would think that they have too much money and no place to spend it? The navy's money is obviously not enough to spend!

  Since the hull is only welded, this 052B is not worth seeing yet. However, when Qin Tao looked over, he soon saw a huge dock in the distance.

   "You also have a large dock here? Look at the scale, at least 300,000 tons."

Sun Xuewen nodded: "Yes, this dock was built last year. It is 365 meters long, 80 meters wide, and nearly 13 meters deep. It can build large ships of 300,000 tons. However, with your Mingzhou Group It's incomparable, you are 400,000 tons, in our circle, yours is called Shenzhou No. 1 Dock, ours can only be called Shenzhou No. 2 Dock.”

Hearing Sun Xuewen's words, Qin Tao shook his head: "Why don't you dare to be more courageous? We built a dock of 400,000 tons, but you are building a dock of 500,000 tons! In this way, you will Has it become the number one dock in China?"

Sun Xuewen smiled wryly and shook his head: "Mr. Qin, how can it be so easy? Just building such a 300,000-ton dock has already taken us a lot of energy. We have also done market research, and a 300,000-ton dock is enough. gone."

   "Well, as long as you are happy, this dock was built last year, why is it still empty now?"

   "We are still looking for orders internationally." Sun Xuewen said.

"I still need to look for it? Let's see, our Mingzhou Group has a contract for several 300,000-ton VLCCs. We originally planned to wait until our dock is vacant before building them. Since you have them here, we will divide the order into two for you. .”

   "Really? Thank you so much!" Sun Xuewen was extremely excited, Mr. Qin is so interesting!

  VLCC is the English abbreviation of Very Large Crude Carrier, that is, a giant oil tanker. Its load capacity is generally between 200,000 tons and 300,000 tons, which is equivalent to the shipment of 2 million barrels of crude oil.

  For oil transportation, the larger the ship, the lower the freight. If it is not for passing through the world-famous two canals, the tonnage of the ship can be infinitely enlarged.

  In 1966, the island country first built a 209,000-ton oil tanker, breaking through the limit of 200,000 tons in one fell swoop, becoming the largest oil tanker in the world at that time, and also brought the concept of VLCC.

  After that, Europe quickly followed suit, and a large number of giant oil tankers were continuously built, with almost fifty or sixty ships every year.

   Of course, the increase in tonnage is endless. In 1968, the single ship was 326,000 tons, and in 1973, the single ship was 477,000 tons. The Sea Giant in 1981 even had a load capacity of 560,000 tons, and a new ULCC (Ultralarge Crude Oil Carrier) classification appeared.

  During the feast of shipbuilding a few years ago, the country fell behind, and now there are only three to four hundred thousand tons of docks. Moreover, since he is new to the industry, it is not easy to grab orders from the world.

  Qin Tao easily gave them an order, how could this not make them excited!

  Even Wu Shengli looked at Qin Tao with strange eyes. Your Mingzhou Group is so generous? Also, which country is this order from?

   You know, this kind of order is generally the object of competition among various shipyards!

  Once a certain company spreads the word that it wants to build a ship, the various shipyards will take the initiative to come to sell it, and fight hard to get the order. Now Qin Tao is so easy to let Qin Tao give it to the Bincheng Shipyard?

  Wu Shengli is a bit unbelievable.

   And Sun Xuewen also reacted quickly: "President Qin, you just gave us the order?"

"Yeah, what else would it be like?" Qin Tao said with a smile: "We have too many orders, and we can't make it. Now we transfer the order to you, and we can deliver the ship to the customer earlier. Customers get their boats earlier, we win, no, triple win.”

  Other shipyards need to go to the door to bid, but Mingzhou Group can easily receive orders at the door, which is too emotional.

  Mingzhou Group is so awesome!

   "Where is the customer from?"

   "The rest of the country." Qin Tao said.

   Immediately, several people understood.

In terms of the relationship with Anxi State, Mingzhou Group is definitely quite good. The shipyard in Anxi State was built with the help of Mingzhou Group, but the scale of that shipyard is not enough to build a 300,000-ton VLCC tanker, so , The fat water does not flow to outsiders, Anxi Kingdom directly gave this order to Mingzhou Group, but Mingzhou Group is too busy after all, and it is still unable to schedule production.

   "Thank you, Mr. Qin."

   "You're welcome, we also want to make the difference. Let's split the shipbuilding profit in half, and we each get half of the profit. How about it?"

Of course, Mingzhou Group wants to make money. Just by transferring an order, it earns half of the profit in vain. It seems to be a style of empty-handed wolf. However, there is no free lunch in the world, and Mingzhou Group must obtain a certain amount of money. Only the profits can be made, this is the practice of Erdao dealers.

   "Of course." Sun Xuewen nodded. Before that, they hadn't built a VLCC tanker. This is a new beginning. This first ship, even as long as it doesn't lose money. Now I can still earn half of it, which is of course very good.

   "This shipyard can also build aircraft carriers in the future." Wu Shengli said suddenly.

  Sun Xuewen was very happy: "Yes, we have this plan."

   After finishing speaking, Sun Xuewen looked at Qin Tao again with some concern. This aircraft carrier is the meat of Mingzhou Group's mouth. Will Mr. Qin be unhappy if he says so?

Qin Tao smiled and nodded: "That's for sure. The construction period of an aircraft carrier is often more than five years. Our navy wants to quickly expand the aircraft carrier force. Then our Mingzhou Group is really too busy. The shipyard here must have a chance build aircraft carriers."

  Wu Shengli looked at Qin Tao in surprise, why are you so sure that our navy will expand a large number of aircraft carriers? Do you know how much this thing costs?

   At this moment, the roar of the engine sounded on the sea in the distance. Qin Tao looked over and saw a beautiful triplane flying at an ultrlow altitude over the sea.

   "Our naval aviation training is very busy." Qin Tao said with a smile: "Dad, should we go to Huangdi Village?"

I came here to see 052B. Who would have thought that the hull has not been welded, let alone the structure of the superstructure, so Qin Tao lost interest, and negotiated the transfer of several tankers. There is no interest here anymore.

   "Boss Qin, let's go after dinner." Sun Xuewen asked to stay.

   "Okay. We're hungry too, so let's bring you all the delicious food here, forget about the wine."

   After eating, Qin Tao and others boarded the car and headed to the base of Huangdi Village.

  Flight training, I flew from Huangdi Village to the shipyard in ten minutes, but it took a full afternoon of driving on the ground to reach the destination.

  It gets dark early in winter, and the higher the latitude, the earlier it gets dark. It's only after four o'clock, and the sky here is getting dark.

   "This base is really busy." Qin Tao said: "The navy really saves money, not even building a dynamic simulation deck."

  Looking at the scene illuminated by the lights inside the base, Qin Tao was very moved.

  The base here was built hastily. At that time, the time was very tight, and they were reluctant to spend money. Just like this, the ground base was modified, and the flight training began, and the pilots were actually trained.

  "Is there any way? There are too many places to spend money. To build that kind of dynamic simulated deck requires thousands of tons of steel. How much will it cost?" Wu Shengli said.

  Suddenly, Qin Tao's gaze stayed on a plane that had just been dragged out of the hangar.

   There were originally only two types of aircraft in the base: the J-15 and the Jiao-8, but the plane in front of him was obviously larger than the outline of the J-15.

   Among other things, just the tall single vertical tail is twice the height of J-15! Not to mention the huge body, the huge rectangular air intake! When it is dragged over, you can still see the huge tail nozzle, where a person can stand in it!

   "Tu-22M?" Qin Tao asked curiously.

"That's right, they are the two Tu-22Ms you got back." Wu Shengli nodded: "Now, we have completed the technical understanding of these two aircrafts and are undergoing restorative training. Last year, These two planes are still in the flight test yard, and they have not caught up, otherwise, if these two planes take off, they will definitely scare them to death!"

  Last year, there was a lot of battle, and the aircraft carriers were sent out to form a formation. However, the fly in the ointment was that these two planes were not transferred.

   Otherwise, the momentum will be spectacular.

   "Has the navy decided to imitate this bomber?" Qin Tao asked.

Wu Shengli shook his head: "I have no plans for the time being. At present, our navy needs to fully carry out the carrier-based aircraft project and refit the two-seat fighter-bomber on the basis of the J-11. We simply don't have the funds to carry out this kind of project. Therefore, these two aircraft The current mission is to take out scary ones at critical times."

   It's not that the Navy doesn't want to, but that it doesn't have that much money!

  In the era of the Red Empire, the huge Tu-22M bomber fleet of the Red Navy was the nightmare of the US aircraft carrier formation!

After the collapse of the Red Empire, a large number of Tu-22Ms began to gradually withdraw from active service. However, the supervision of this bomber is still very strict. If it is not because of the very good relationship between Qin Tao and Lao Maozi, it is impossible to get these two complete ones. bomber.

  However, it is still unrealistic to imitate a large number of Tu-22M bomber groups based on these two bombers. Among other things, in the absence of technical data, only the imitation of the engine is a big problem.

  It is not cost-effective to imitate an outdated engine in ten years.

"However, the performance of this kind of aircraft is still good. It is much better than our old H-6. Taozi, do you think we should discuss with Lao Maozi and bring in a few?" Wu Shengli asked Qin Tao .

  Qin Tao was stunned for a moment: "Is this kind of strategic bomber willing to sell?"

Although the voyage is only 5,000 kilometers, the Tu-22M can penetrate supersonic defenses at ultrlow altitudes and can carry a large number of weapons and equipment. It is still very powerful. Together with Tu-95 and Tu-160, it supports the entire Lao Maozi strategy. The power of bombing.

   Now that the old man is short of money, he is willing to sell anything?

  "Old Maozi has this idea." Wu Shengli said: "If we need it, they are willing to sell it to us."

  Qin Tao smiled: "The old man is so short of money. He actually wants to sell us such a big killer. However, if we really negotiate with them, we may not be able to buy it."

Those who want to sell Tu-22M are only some of them. Most of them are definitely waiting to see. Once they really send people to negotiate, then they will probably do some other things, such as asking for prices. , such as putting forward other harsh conditions.

"Yeah, I heard that the Tu-22M production line at Damao has been closed. Even if we want to buy it, it's Lao Maozi's second-hand goods." Wu Shengli said: "Plus we have no money now, so we don't plan to buy it." Negotiate with the old man."

  Qin Tao shook his head: "No, since Lao Maozi has an idea, then we can get in touch with Lao Maozi. Moreover, this matter must be known to the outside world."

   Let the outside world know?

  Wu Shengli's eyes lit up, he already understood what Qin Tao meant.

  The two Tu-22Ms of our side were brought back secretly, so far they dare not show their true colors to others. Even the flight training has to be carried out at night to avoid being discovered by the reconnaissance satellites in the sky.

In the future, if this kind of big killer is suddenly taken out, it can be scary, but it can't explain the source of these planes. Now let the outside world know that we are talking about the Tu-22M bomber with the old man. !

   In this way, even if the Tu-22M is brought out in the future, there will be an explanation. As for the old Maozi, even if the explanation is not sold, the explanation is still unclear.

   "Okay, what you said makes sense, let's go get in touch with Lao Maozi right now, if you are free, come for us." Wu Shengli said.

  Qin Tao frowned, then nodded again, this was his own suggestion, the old man had already spoken, what else could he say? I can only promise to come down.

  However, I haven't been to Lao Maozi's place for a long time, so it's time to visit.
