Warship of Great Power Chapter 643

  Chapter 643 Installation of HQ-16B modern class

"This incident was caused by 300 Heavy Industry, and now our 300 Automobile has been seriously affected!" Makoto Matsumoto, the person in charge of 300 Automobile, was full of annoyance: "In Europe, our braking problem has been solved. It was resolved satisfactorily, but in the east, it was intensified, and there must be Mingzhou Group behind it!"

   30 Heavy Industry couldn't compete with Mingzhou Group in the shipbuilding field, so they came up with a bad idea, and as a result, they got all the stolen goods.

  Although the defect has existed for a long time, why did it suddenly explode now? Moreover, the islanders will never think about it. It is because of their arrogance and differential treatment that this situation has occurred. In their eyes, these are all caused by the Mingzhou Group.

   So, they're annoyed.

   "Everyone, we are not the time to pursue responsibility, we are looking for a solution to the problem, what should we do?" said Konosuke Iwasaki.

"This is caused by 30 Heavy Industry, and of course it has to be solved by 30 Heavy Industry!" Makoto Matsumoto continued: "Mingzhou Group is in business, and they must look at their interests. As long as they give Mingzhou Group some benefits, they will naturally It can make that President Qin calm down."

"How is this possible? The person in charge of our Changqi Shipyard has committed suicide and has given them an explanation. They are still chasing after him. At this time, we must not be weak, we must persevere! We must Be tough!" Zengshan Xiongshou insisted.

  How could they bow their heads to the Mingzhou Group? In their dictionary, there is no such word!

"Report, the Eastern State Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau sent an ultimatum. The problem with our 30 vehicles is entirely our technical problem. We are required to take immediate measures and assume full responsibility!" At this time, another message came.

   "Damn! How do they want us to be responsible?" Makoto Matsumoto said: "If we want to recall and replace it, how much will it cost?"

   "In this case, let's give Dongfang a face and see if this contradiction can be eased." Iwasaki Konosuke said.

   "Okay, let's take a step back." Makoto Matsumoto said: "We inspect and replace the 30 off-road vehicles imported through normal trade channels."

  In the east, there are a large number of 30 Pajero off-road vehicles, but a large part of them are imported by abnormal means. They don't need to do after-sales for those vehicles, which can also save a lot of money.

   "Now, I hope this matter can be resolved as soon as possible, so that we don't have a worse impact on our 300. That President Qin must be planning some big conspiracy behind the scenes. We must be more vigilant." Iwasaki Konosuke continued.

   "Damn it, if that President Qin is abroad, we really want to send someone to kill him!" Zengshan Xiongshou said angrily.

   "Ah Choo!" Qin Tao sneezed again.

   "Boss Qin, did you catch a cold?" Xu Zhengyang asked worriedly.

   "I caught a cold, someone must be speaking ill of me behind my back, especially 30." Qin Tao said, "I guess they should make a scarecrow next."

   "Dad, those are all superstitions." Qin Haiyang said from the side: "Our teacher said that those superstitions are all lies."

   "Well, okay, Dad got it."

   "Dad, remember what you promised me!"

"Of course."

   Several people were talking, and walked into the courtyard, just in time to see Wu Shengli walking out, and the secretary beside him was still carrying the suitcase for him.

   "Dad, where is this going?"

   "Mingzhou, you came back just in time. It's strange to say today that your phone didn't get through."

   "Mingzhou? What are you going to do?" Qin Tao was thinking rapidly, now, it is not the turn of 052C to serve, and other warships are not worthy of the old man's fanfare, and so on!

   "Dad, is the nuclear submarine going to start? Why don't I know?"

   "It's not a nuclear submarine, it's a modern-class destroyer, and it's back!"

   "Modern class?"

   "Yes, the ship of the Pacific Fleet has returned, and the ship of the Northern Fleet is still on the way. After returning, it is time to enter your dock for repairs. This is an important moment. I have to go and have a look!"

  Although it wasn't ordered by the Navy, the cheap ones certainly taste delicious. Seeing that the Navy can add two more 8,000-ton warships, Wu Shengli is very excited and must go to join in the fun.

   "By the way, you can go with me too."

   "Yes." Qin Tao nodded, planning to follow the old man, but when he turned his head, he glanced at Qin Haiyang, and immediately thought of something.

   "Dad, I promised Haiyang that I will tell him a bedtime story."

  Qin Haiyang held his little hand, his eyes were very complicated and tangled, his lips moved a few times, and finally he spoke: "Dad, you go, you are doing big things, I can't be your drag."

  Is your son so sensible?

"Our ocean is sensible." Qin Tao's mother-in-law came out of the room and said with a smile: "He knows that his parents are doing great things, and he will never drag you down. Come, go back with grandma, tonight Go to bed, how about grandma telling you a story?"

   "Well, Haiyang, when Dad comes back, I will definitely make up for you. After you have the winter vacation, go to find Dad. Wherever Dad goes, you will go there."

Zhao Xiu'e gave Qin Tao a blank look. If you can't do it, don't promise your child. If you don't promise anything, the child will have nothing to think about. Every time you promise, every time you break your promise, let the child go from hope to disappointment, that is the best It hurts the child's heart.

  Qin Tao looked at the back of his son who turned his head three times a step, and his heart was suddenly stung: "Haiyang, don't worry, Dad will do what he said this time."

  Qin Haiyang turned his head and glanced at Qin Tao, then continued to walk back, muttering: "Humph, it's a puppy who lied."

   Along the way, Qin Tao was not in a good mood. For a child, companionship is too important! When the children are on winter vacation, they do nothing, and take their wives and children to the island for vacation!

  When they arrived in Mingzhou, it was already the morning of the next day. Several people got off the plane and came directly to the shipyard, and the destroyer Shen Mi had already shown its outline on the distant sea.

   Straight into the sky, the black smoke seems so clear. In this era, there are very few warships that emit black smoke when they start.

"It seems that the boiler also needs to be repaired." Looking at the sea from a distance, Qin Tao said: "This is a big project. If you can avoid demolition of the superstructure, I think it would be a good idea to cut the bottom of the boat for repairs just like Lao Maozi." Method."

   "It sounds quite special." At this moment, a person who was watching on the slipway spoke, and the voice was extremely familiar.

   "Xiaoling?" Qin Tao then looked down at his wife. Before he knew it, how many days had it been since he hadn't seen each other? Obviously married, but still living the life of a monk, Qin Tao saw his wife at this time, and immediately had a special desire.

  Zhao Ling's face was a little pale, which was obviously the result of long-term excessive fatigue, and it was time for her to rest.

   "Well, it's me." Zhao Ling smiled and didn't have the slightest dissatisfaction with Qin Tao calling so intimately in public.

   "Why are you here?"

"Isn't the modification of this warship mainly based on our Hongqi-16? So, I came to help match it." Zhao Ling said: "I have been working here for a week, but you have not come back. "

   "Matching? Do you still need it? The technicians in our design office have already experienced it." Qin Tao was a little curious.

   "If it is the previous missile, of course I don't need it, but now that we have completed the research and development of the new missile, of course we have to match it."

  New missiles? Qin Tao originally thought it was a new launch method. The Hongqi-16 has already achieved thermal launch, so it is estimated that it will be a hot and cold co-launch? But if you don't load the Red Flag IX, there's no need for hot and cold racks. He didn't expect it to be a new missile!

   "Is it an extended-range model?" Qin Tao asked.

Zhao Ling smiled: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you. After our further improvement, the range of the Hongqi-16 has been increased to 70 kilometers. If these two modern-class ships are to be improved, it is even more important to equip them with this new type of missile. A good choice. Moreover, after the modification is completed, the two Hyundai-class ships that are already in service can also be modified according to this plan."

  Extended range model is out?

  Qin Tao was also excited for a while: "Okay, if this kind of missile is available, then our Hyundai-class can also serve as an area air defense ship. In this way, our Hongqi-9 R&D team is in a hurry!"

  The early Hongqi-9 had a range of only 90 kilometers. This Hongqi-16 has reached a range of 70 kilometers. It is almost catching up with Hongqi-9!

   "That's right, after this improvement, our Hyundai-class can also be used as an area air defense ship, but it lacks a four-sided phased array radar." Wu Shengli said: "This modification is not cost-effective. Let's wait for a new build in the future."

  Qin Tao didn't know the progress of Hongqi-16B, but Wu Shengli knew it well. At this moment, he looked at Qin Tao with a smile: "Taozi, do you know how the range is improved?"

   This can't help Qin Tao.

   "On the one hand, it is to load more fuel. Our new missile must be longer than the previous one. It is estimated to be about one meter longer."

   "How did you know?" Now it was Zhao Ling's turn to be curious.

  Of course it's my own memory, but Qin Tao didn't say that: "It's not easy. If it wasn't for the change in appearance, would you need to come and match it?"

   "That's true, what about the other side?"

   "On the other hand, of course, it is to improve the propellant. The higher the energy density of the solid rocket motor, the farther the missile will fly."

The advancement of missile technology does not happen overnight. At the beginning, the range of this missile was only more than 20 kilometers. After optimizing the flight trajectory, the range was increased to 40 kilometers. However, in the past few years, they must have continued to improve , Therefore, counting the time, it is time to change the projectile body and propellant.

In fact, this is not the final modification. In the later period, there will be Hongqi-16FE, which is against the sky. It has a range of 160 kilometers. It can defend air and anti-missile. It is said that it can be plugged into Hongqi-16A. In the launch tube!

  Of course, this kind of modification is not easy. It uses a newly designed integrated engine. The side strips on the projectile body are gone, and it has become a polished projectile. Through various means, the range improvement is finally realized.

   If it is improved to that extent, it will probably take ten or eight years, right? How many ten or eight years does my own wife have? The best years of my wife were dedicated to Hongqi-16?

  Qin Tao thought: "Xiaoling, I remember you said that when this range-extending bomb is produced, you will retire with success, right?"

  Zhao Ling glanced at Qin Tao with complicated eyes: "Yes, I once said that."

"That's good. You stay in the shipyard and help complete the matching. When it's winter vacation, let's take Haiyang on vacation together. After that, if you want to be a good wife and mother, you can be my assistant. Over there at the Aerospace Academy, you can Handle a suspension for you."

  Zhao Ling's lips twitched a few times, trying to say something, but in the end she didn't say it, she just nodded.

   "This warship can still float on the water, isn't it shocking?" At this moment, someone started talking again.

The former backbone of the Pacific Fleet, the destroyer Shenmi is getting closer and closer. Since there are already two Hyundai-class ships in China, the navy crew drove it back without the help of the old Maozi's crew. At this time, this ship The appearance of the warship in front of everyone still made the big guys feel a little bit emotional.

   This is simply like a pile of rusty scrap iron that has been exposed to the wind and sun at the purchase station.

   "Old Maozi's warship is like this. Don't look at the rust on the outside. After polishing, the inside is still radiant. The Varyag back then was even more rusty than this!" Another person refuted.

  Amidst the discussion of the big guys, the Shen Mi was getting closer and closer, and the state of the hull was also seen more clearly.

   "What's going on on both sides of the bridge? It's the same as when there was a fire!"

   "It must have been smoked when launching the sun-burning missile. Speaking of which, this warship is not bad, and it has a chance to launch missiles!"

Amidst all the discussions, the huge hull finally started to enter the dock. This is the expansion of the original dock of Mingzhou Shipyard. The 10,000-ton class is specially used for the repair of destroyers and frigates, so as not to occupy the hundreds of thousands of tons. super dock.

  The dock began to pump water, set up scaffolding, and the construction was in order. After an hour, the warship entered the repair state from the sailing state.

   "Let's go, let's go up and have a look." Qin Tao said.

  Since Wu Shengli and others have come over, of course they can't just watch from a distance, they have to stand on it.

Following the erected scaffolding, everyone went directly to the front deck of the Shenmi, passed the double-mounted 130mm naval gun, and continued to walk backward. On the second deck was the Shijili system of the single-arm launcher. up.

  But... Looking at the mess above, Qin Tao couldn't help feeling a little emotional: "This old man knew we were going to modify it, so he deliberately dismantled this thing and sold it for tatters?"

  Not only the launcher, but also the loading system under the launcher, disappeared.

   "The report, when we received it in the past, it was already like this." The captain who carried out this mission said, he felt a little uneasy, what if the leader blamed it?

   Fortunately, no one blamed him.

   "It's okay, we have this expectation, we will dismantle it, and save us the labor cost of refitting." Qin Tao said: "Is the electronic equipment in the bridge still intact?"

   "The outer shell is intact, but I don't know what's inside. We tried, and most of them failed."

  It seems that Lao Maozi must have dismantled the valuables inside and sold them!

Of course it was not done by Nikolai. Nikolai will definitely issue an order in Moscow to order the Pacific Fleet to keep the warship safe and not destroy it. Come down for a drink, of course it has to be dismantled.

   "Then we will use our own equipment instead, ours is more advanced." Qin Tao said.

However, when he walked into the bridge and saw the missing rudder and could only use a wrench to replace it, Qin Tao couldn't help it anymore: "No, they have done too much, I have to give Niguo Let's make a phone call! He has to give us some compensation, but he even lost the steering wheel! That thing is made of wood, could it be that it was dismantled and chopped for firewood?”

   This destroyer, Lao Maozi originally planned to seal it up and use it at any time in the future, but now, judging from the situation, it is impossible to restart it. As long as it is sealed up, it will be disassembled and sold for parts.

  If this is put in the country, it will be arrested and sentenced directly, but in Lao Maozi's side, no one cares at all.

   "That's fine, anyway, we have to repair it, so we might as well replace it with new ones. Fortunately, Lao Maozi doesn't have the ability to disassemble the entire warship and sell it for scrap." Wu Shengli could only say this with a wry smile.

"No way? Dad, Ermao has done this before!" Qin Tao said: "Ermao's captain hasn't received his salary for several years, and he directly blows up the ship and sells the scrap iron. This is not a problem of soldiers, but a problem of the country. ah."

   "Yes, it is their sorrow that there is no strong country." Wu Shengli also nodded.

   "Yes, it's their sorrow, but for us, it's better now."

  If they hadn't broken the cans, would they have been able to get this kind of warship? In the era of the Red Empire, if Lao Maozi wants to change the floating nuclear power plant, does he still need the help of Mingzhou Group?

  Everyone was filled with emotion.

  Leaving the bridge, continue to look backward, looking at the dilapidated warship, the first step is to remove the rust, and at the same time conduct a thorough investigation to determine how many parts of the warship need to be replaced.

   In this way, until the end, everyone has gradually adapted, no matter what things are dismantled, don't be surprised.

   "The budget is 50% more, otherwise this warship will not be able to be transformed." Qin Tao made a rough estimate: "The construction period may also be extended."

   "Yes, the old man has gone too far." Wu Shengli also said with emotion: "We can issue a few more national defense lottery, so that the funds for the modification should be able to come together."

After finishing speaking, Wu Shengli looked at the outfitting wharf: "Since you are here, let's go over there again. For some reason, seeing two warships together gives me a wrong feeling, as if they are two warships. Same time."

   "These are two eras." Qin Tao said: "If our navy has money, we should invest in continuing to build 052C. It is the future of our navy."

   All the people were talking and heading towards the outfitting pier.

  When the 052C was launched, a lot of equipment had already been installed, and the workload in the outfitting stage was very small. Therefore, when several people walked up, what they saw was almost a complete warship.

  The hull is painted with low-visibility, and everything is brand new. Looking at the stealth shape, it is full of modernity.

  The four-sided phased array radar around the bridge is the most dazzling equipment of the entire warship. As the second warship in the world equipped with four-sided phased array radar and long-range air defense missiles, this No. 168 ship has attracted worldwide attention.

"Currently, the outfitting has entered the final stage. We expect to start sea trials by the end of the year. If there are no major problems with the equipment, it will be delivered to the navy next year." Zhou Yongfei, who was in charge of the construction of the warship, looked at the crowd. The leader came over and introduced enthusiastically.

   "Well, the progress is almost equal to 052B." Wu Shengli nodded: "At that time, we can have a sea contest to determine which of the two warships is more suitable."

   "The big martial arts competition is very unfair to them!" Qin Tao said with emotion: "We will have a feeling of being a bully."

   "Don't talk big, maybe that kind of warship is more cost-effective, and our navy will continue to place orders for that kind of warship?" Wu Shengli glanced at Qin Tao and said with a smile.

"That's impossible, unless the navy doesn't want to go to blue water, otherwise, that kind of tasteless product can't meet the needs of the navy." At this time, everyone has walked to the vertical launcher in front, Qin Tao continued: "Now Now that our Hongqi-16B has been successfully developed, our Aegis warships can also be upgraded."

"upgrade?"

"Yes, Dad. At present, our 052C can only be equipped with Hongqi-9 missiles. It still has weaknesses in air defense. Now that our Hongqi-16B has come out, we may wish to consider whether it is possible to mix some Hongqi-16B , In this way, there are more choices in air defense operations."

  Although there is no general-purpose cooling and heating vertical launch system with a diameter of 850 mm, it is no problem to insert two Hongqi-16Bs in the current Hongqi 9 launcher.

  There is only Hongqi-9, which is still a bit inconvenient during combat. After all, Hongqi-9 is an area air defense missile with a long range and a large size. When it deals with close-range targets, its response is not so fast, and it is also very wasteful.

The Americans will also encounter this problem. Their Standard-2 is very advanced, but it is blind when dealing with low-altitude and close-range targets. Therefore, their MK41 launch unit must be mixed with some sea sparrows, otherwise once the Standard-2 cannot respond Come on, only the Phalanx is left.

"Well, that's a good proposal. It can also greatly increase the number of missiles that can be carried. However, the guidance method of Hongqi-16B is different from that of Hongqi-9, which means that there will be more electronic equipment, and the displacement of this warship will have to be expanded. , It's too troublesome to change it.”

  Hongqi-9 is a C-band target illumination radar, and Hongqi-16 is an X-band radar. The two are incompatible.

   "Perhaps, we can modify the seeker of Hongqi-16?" Zhao Ling asked.

  Qin Tao was taken aback, what happened to him, did he find a job for his wife again?
