Warship of Great Power Chapter 721

  Chapter 721 Shandong Nuofu (adding 1 for the leader Hua Xuejian)

  Qin Tao shook his head: "I don't think so."

   "Why?" The visitors from Antonov Design Bureau were a little surprised, even Mr. Lin was a little shocked, not knowing what Qin Tao meant by that.

"Because the noise of the D-227 engine is too loud, it is impossible for us to put it into operation. Airports in many countries will not allow our plane to land." Qin Tao said: "Your An-70 is only suitable for military use. So, you should still target the army.”

Relying on the advanced D-227 engine, the An-70 has good performance. At the beginning of the design, it was only intended to replace the An-12 transport aircraft, but after some design, it was unexpectedly comparable to the Il-76. , although its maximum load capacity is only 47 tons, during the test, it has transported 55 tons of materials to the limit. Moreover, the cabin of this transport aircraft is very wide, larger than the cargo compartment of the Il-76, which is very convenient Material transportation.

It's a pity that it can only be used by the military. It is impossible for the Mingzhou Group to purchase it and put it into transportation, because its propellers are very noisy, which exceeds the requirements of the civil aviation department. The main business of the state group is still abroad.

"Yes, this transport aircraft is indeed developed according to the needs of the army, but I don't know what your air force means. Do you have any ideas to purchase our transport aircraft? The performance of our transport aircraft is far stronger than what is being developed in Europe. The A400M is cheap and has excellent performance." Jinchenke said: "If you have this idea, we can establish a joint venture with you, you can purchase part from us, and you can also produce part yourself."

In the era of the Red Empire, the Antonov Design Bureau would never export production lines, but now it is different, survival is the first priority, they have to formulate various policies to facilitate customers, even if customers request the introduction of production lines. can satisfy.

  Dongfang already has an engine production line, and if it introduces a complete machine production line, it means that Dongfang can produce it by itself! This is very suitable for oriental people.

   Sure enough, even Elder Lin was tempted. They had already considered this project, and now the conditions proposed by the other party are quite attractive. Shouldn't they agree?

   "That will have to wait until your An-70 has completed all the test flight work." Qin Tao woke up Mr. Lin with a word.

   Don't spend impulsively now, because this transport plane hasn't completed all the test flight missions yet!

If in the era of the Red Empire, it would not be a matter of minutes to develop such a transport aircraft, and the entire process could be completed in a few years. However, the times have changed, and the project that could be completed in five years is now completed. Ten years later, it's still a mess.

The test flight needs to consume a lot of money, and they are already heavily in debt. If they can successfully sell it, they will mainly need to get the down payment before they can continue this project. However, if the customer is not stupid, how can they purchase a project that has not yet been finalized? ?

  What if something goes wrong during the test flight? What if the problem cannot be solved and the project fails? If something goes wrong, the previous down payment will definitely be in vain!

  After the collapse of the Red Empire, the status quo of each of the republics, everyone can see clearly. As long as you pay the money, don't even think about getting it back, because the money has already been spent, and you even have to invest in it later, otherwise the previous money will be wasted, and you will start to quote a low price. In the end, the project will be completed and you will spend a lot more. times.

   "Yes, we will conduct a comprehensive evaluation after your test flight is over. If it is suitable for our air force, then we will purchase it." Elder Lin said.

   Even if Mr. Lin is relegated to the second line now, he still has prestige. After all, Mr. Lin negotiated the largest procurement contract for the Air Force: the Su-27 project.

  The old men looked gloomy.

   "If everyone lacks investment, I have some ideas." Qin Tao likes to help others, so how can he see the old man unhappy.

"any solution?"

   "The first way is to sell it to Ah San." Qin Tao said: "Ah San will have a demand for this kind of transport aircraft."

   Ah San?

   Several people were stunned: "They have Il-76!"

Ah San obtained a lot of weapons and equipment by buying and buying. Moreover, due to their special circumstances, they could not only buy them from Lao Maozi, but also from the United States. However, the C-130 was not released until after the new millennium. Purchased, Ah San's main transport aircraft is the Il-76, why did he come to purchase the An-70?

"Of course it needs to be manipulated." Qin Tao said: "Ah San will compare with us in many aspects. As long as we announce to the public that we are going to develop a new transport aircraft based on the D-227 engine, then Ah San will also want to Developed by themselves, but with Ah San's ability, they can't complete self-research, so they must seek help from the international community. At this time, as long as you show up in time, Ah San will agree to come down and introduce your An- The 70 transport aircraft production line is regarded as a product developed by myself, and it is shown off all over the world."

   Both Kinchenko and Victor's eyes lit up, yes, if they operate like this, maybe it will really work? Mr. Qin's method is feasible!

  Since Ah San's territory has risen to a mushroom cloud, they have been sanctioned by the outside world, and they also need new sellers. If they sell at this time, they can still make friends with Ah San.

   "President Qin, what is the second method?"

"The second is that we hire you." Qin Tao said: "After we can produce the D-227 engine by ourselves, we plan to replace this engine with our own Yunba, and replace four with two. This is a big deal. We may not be able to complete the project by ourselves, it would be great if you come to provide technical assistance. We need your technical support, and you need our financial support. In this way, everyone will be happy."

Qin Tao intends to rely on this method to keep the other party. If Yunba doesn't need it, he can even open a special joint research and development company by himself. It's too hard to stay at Ermao's place, it's better to come to the east to eat hot food and drink spicy food.

   "Your Yun-8 is our An-12? Are you still using this kind of aircraft?" Jinchenko was a little surprised.

  In Lao Maozi's place, An-12 has been eliminated long ago. Unexpectedly, in the East, it has always been the main force.

   "Yes, we are still using it, and the performance of this aircraft will become more and more advanced, especially after the engine is replaced." Qin Tao said, "Would you like to stay and help?"

"I think these two projects can be combined." Elder Lin said, "On the one hand, he fooled you, saying that we want to develop our own transport aircraft, and on the other hand, invite these experts to stay and help us transform the transport aircraft 8. The outside world doesn't know that we are transforming Yun-8, maybe they think we are developing a brand new transport aircraft.”

  Old Lin played a role.

Hearing his words, Qin Tao nodded: "That's right, the two things are combined. Your Antonov Design Bureau's aircraft can also be successfully sold to Ah San. Both sides can make money, and they will definitely be able to raise enough research and development funds." of."

  Kinchenko and Victor looked at each other, then nodded, indeed, they had no other way, and now it seems that the method provided by Mr. Qin is the best.

"In order to convince Ah San, we have to keep important R&D personnel, Mr. Jinqinke, are you willing to stay and help?" Qin Tao said: "An engineer like you can earn more than two thousand dollars a month here. , and it's still monthly.”

They definitely need to go to Ah San's place, and there must be enough people. Therefore, Victor and Jinchenko can only leave one for the time being. Of course, Jinchenko must be kept. This person has participated in many models and has rich experience. He is still a qualified teacher. It is most suitable for him to stay, not only to help with research and development, but also to lead a large number of students.

  Victor, it looks like he is engaged in technology, not in sales, if he goes to Ah San, the matter may be messed up, and the benefits will still be his own.

   At this time, when he heard the monthly salary of two thousand dollars, Jinchenko was immediately tempted.

  Ermao's salary doesn't sound low, and it keeps rising every year, but inflation is serious, and the actual purchasing power is less than five hundred dollars. Now, when you come to the East, your salary can quadruple.

"Of course, an old expert like you will definitely not care about these salaries. You care about the sense of honor and pride. If you come to participate in our project, we will hire you as the deputy chief engineer of our project! "

   Who is the chief engineer? Qin Tao doesn't count. After all, the company over there is not owned by Qin Tao, but inviting the old man over and giving him the title of deputy chief engineer is definitely not low.

   Moreover, there are many projects in the domestic aviation industry, and there is a serious shortage of manpower for the transformation of Yunba. Jinqinke must be the leader when he comes here, so let him be the deputy chief designer.

"That's right, you are the deputy chief designer here." Elder Lin nodded. Of course he knew that Qin Tao was poaching people, and Qin Tao never poached the wrong person. supported.

   "Okay, then I will stay. Being able to transform the An-12 is also a memory." Jinchenko nodded in agreement.

  Er Mao doesn't value these talents anyway, coming to the East, let them feel valued, money and psychology are satisfied, why not stay?

  However, Qin Tao's itinerary had to change again. Now that Jinqinke was recruited, he had to be sent to Shanfei.

In fact, Yunba was initially developed by Xifei, but after it was completed, according to the instructions of the superior, it was handed over to Shaanxi Fei for production. After that, Shanfei has always regarded Yunba as the main force. For a long time, they are also slowly Slowly improve Yunba, but if we want to talk about real drastic improvements, we have to talk about the present.

   Replacing the engine and changing the wings, this is definitely a major facelift, and after the improvement, the performance of Yunba will also be developed by leaps and bounds, so it is also specially named Yunjiu.

  Since receiving the mission, the R&D personnel headed by Peng Yunfei have been working hard, but at the same time, they also know that the improvement of this transport aircraft is not as simple as imagined.

  Xifei has 603 institutes, but Shaanxi Aircraft Corporation does not. They only have their own R&D room of the aircraft factory. This kind of R&D institution was established to understand the design drawings and organize production, and it was definitely not for designing aircraft.

   Now that they have such an opportunity, they have to face up to the difficulties, but they didn't expect that Mr. Qin was so considerate that he actually abducted Lao Maozi's aircraft designer.

When he heard that the designers from Antonov Design Bureau came to help, Peng Yunfei was excited. At this time, he stood on the runway and watched the Yun-8 that picked up people landed from a distance, and then rushed to meet him. .

Since Yunba is going to be transformed, of course Lao Maozi has to experience it. From the capital to Hanzhong, the special plane carrying Lao Maozi is Yunba. At this time, Jinchenke said to Qin Tao while getting off the plane: "President Qin, The performance of this aircraft is beyond my imagination, and it is a great improvement over our An-12 transport aircraft, and it has a fully airtight cargo compartment, which surprised us."

When the An-12 was just surveyed and mapped, due to insufficient technical capabilities, the performance of the Yunba was greatly reduced compared with the prototype. For example, the maximum speed of the prototype was 777 kilometers per hour, and the domestic production became 640 Kilometers per hour, the maximum range of the prototype is 5,700 kilometers, and only 3,450 kilometers are left for the domestic model. Of course, looking at these data, you should know that this is the reason why the engine imitated by surveying and mapping is not powerful.

   Fortunately, the load capacity has not decreased, and it is still 20 tons. As for the others, it can be improved slowly.

  The prototype An-12 does not have an airtight pressurized cargo compartment, so if it is to transport soldiers or other animals, it cannot fly too high, otherwise, the thin air and low temperature at high altitude will put them in danger.

The Yun-8 C in front of us was modified for this defect. It has a fully airtight cargo compartment, which not only means that the Yun-8 can fly at high altitude with soldiers, but also means that the Yun-8 can be transformed into a civil aviation regional airliner .

  At the same time, the hatch structure has also changed from opening inwards to outwards. After opening, there is a ramp, which is very convenient for transporting goods.

It's not that Lao Maozi has no strength to reform, but it's unnecessary. After all, with Lao Maozi, An-12 will soon be eliminated, but in the East, Yunba is constantly improving, and now, it will make drastic changes. .

"President Qin, welcome to our Shanfei." Peng Yunfei went up to greet the guests. Although he was speaking to Qin Tao, his eyes were on Lao Maozi. What is the expert that President Qin invited this time? level?

"Come on, Peng Gong, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Jinqinke, an aerodynamic expert from the Ermao Antonov Design Bureau, who has developed many transport aircraft." Qin Tao knew what Peng Yunfei was thinking, and immediately introduced him Get up: "Now, invite him to be our Yunjiu designer, hoping to make our improvement work smoother."

   "Mr. Jinqinke?" Peng Yunfei was thinking rapidly in his mind: "I remember, in the era of the Red Empire, there was an academician named Jinqinke over there."

   "That's right, it's the one in front of you."

What?

  Peng Yunfei was shocked, Mr. Qin, you are too awesome, you actually invited all the academicians of Lao Maozi? For a person of this level, Lao Maozi is actually willing to let him come and go?

   "Mr. Jinqinke, welcome to Dongfang. In Shanfei, you are the boss. We will listen to whatever you say." Peng Yunfei was already a little incoherent in his excitement.

   "Peng Gong, take all the guests to the conference room, let's arrange the tasks." Qin Tao said.

   "Well, okay, everyone please."

A large number of old men walked on the corridor of Shanfei, pointing and pointing, and were very curious about everything here. They came to the conference room that Shanfei had prepared a long time ago, made tea, and started the meeting in a pleasant atmosphere. Meeting.

"We attach great importance to the Yun-9 project, which is related to the future construction of our army." Qin Tao said: "Take the navy as an example, and on the basis of Yun-9, it will be converted into anti-submarine aircraft, electronic warfare aircraft, air early warning aircraft and so on. Therefore, this project must be completed as soon as possible to ensure quality and quantity.”

   This medium-sized tactical transport aircraft looks like nothing, but it is actually the role of panacea. It can perform various tasks and is convenient for various modifications. The American C-130 transport aircraft has undergone a large number of modifications.

  The domestic Yun-8 has not been remodeled much, but in Yun-9, various high-tech machines have come out, and they have become all-rounders. Now, Qin Tao certainly hopes that this project can be carried out as soon as possible.

   This platform is of great significance.

"Yes, the Air Force also hopes to use this platform to carry out transformations of various aircraft types, and we are fully aware of our heavy responsibilities." Peng Yunfei said: "It would be even better if we now have experts from the Antonov Design Bureau join us. We have confidence in the modification, but, Mr. Qin, we have a doubt."

"explain."

   "Currently, the main medium-sized transport aircraft in the world are all four-engined. Is it inappropriate for us to change it to two engines?"

Now, in China, engines can be used to transform transport aircraft. The D-227 engine has a power output of more than 10,000 horsepower. Two engines are enough for transportation. There is no need to build four engines. If four engines are installed, then It will be a level up.

  However, seeing that transport planes all over the world have four engines, they feel that it is not safe to build two engines. If one of them fails, it will be a big trouble.

"As the power of the engine increases, the number of engines decreases." Qin Tao said: "There is nothing suitable or inappropriate, not to mention our transport aircraft, even passenger aircraft will be modified in this way. Passenger aircraft are no more important than our transport aircraft. Is it safe?"

At the beginning, all the large planes with four engines like Boeing 707 were needed to cross the ocean. The distance from one point to an alternate airport cannot exceed 60 minutes, so that in the event of an engine failure, the nearest airport can be flown within an hour.

   There is no problem on land, but where is the airport on the ocean? Therefore, twin-engine aircraft cannot cross the ocean, even if the range is enough.

But with the advancement of technology, this requirement is constantly being relaxed. In 1985, 60 minutes was enlarged to 120 minutes, and the Boeing 767 began to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. Later, in 1988, it was enlarged to 180 minutes. In this way, twin-engine aircraft almost Then you can fly all over the world. In this case, the fuel-intensive four-engine is gradually replaced by dual-engine.

   This is a trend.

   There must be a large number of four-engine passenger planes in operation at present, but when the civil aviation fleet eliminates outdated models and buys new planes, they will definitely replace them with twin-engine ones, after all, the operating costs are lower.

  Airplanes have the highest requirements, because once an accident occurs, it will be a major event that will cause a sensation all over the world. An accident of an aircraft may lead to the end of the entire brand. Military aircraft should be much more tolerant. After all, it is normal for military aircraft to fall a few times.

   Now, Qin Tao has proposed the development of passenger aircraft. Passenger aircraft can be changed in this way, and transport aircraft are of course no problem. Changing from four engines to two engines will definitely save fuel, which is equivalent to increasing the range in disguise, which is acceptable.

"However, to be on the safe side, we can also make some reservations when designing. If necessary, we can also easily replace it with four engines. Isn't our turboprop six always improving? We also have to give this kind of Engine a chance."

  Eggs can't be put in one basket. Now we have been pinning our hopes on D-227, but as long as it is not officially put into production, there will still be variables, so we must be prepared.

  The improvement of turboprop six cannot stop.

The turboprop six is ​​imitated on the basis of the AI20M on the An-12 transport aircraft. This engine was designed by the famous Ivchenko-Progress Design Bureau and produced by the Motor Sich Factory. As a single-rotor turboprop engine, its The performance is not advanced, but its stability is very good, so it became the turboprop engine with the largest output in the era of the Red Empire. The factories in Zaporozhye and Perm produced a total of 14,000 units.

   There are not many domestic Yunba production, so the output of this engine is not high, but the improvement work has not stopped. After all, this thing belongs to oneself, and at critical times, it can avoid being controlled by others.

The most typical example in this regard is Xinzhou 700, which is an advanced domestic regional airliner. When it was developed, it directly used the PW150C engine of Maple Leaf Pratt & Whitney Company. The maximum power of this engine is 4600 kilowatts, and the fuel consumption is very low. It is an advanced turboprop engine.

  However, the MA 700 was about to fly for the first time, and the engine was missing, but it was seized by some people for no reason, and it was not installed on the MA 700 in the end.

   It is unreliable to rely on foreigners, you have to rely on self-research!

Although the D-227 engine is produced by Tianjiao Aviation, Qin Tao will not be so short-sighted that he will kill the turboprop six because of the promotion of this engine. He will even encourage the development of the more advanced AEP500 engine, which is 5,000 kilowatts. Turboprop engines are still very useful. Two of Yunqi and Xinzhou are installed, and four of Yunba and Yunjiu are installed to meet the power needs of domestic turboprop aircraft.

  Hearing what Qin Tao said, Peng Yunfei nodded: "Boss Qin is right, when we are designing, we can indeed carry out two plans at the same time, which is more secure."

   At this time, Jinchenke also spoke: "Qin, what were you talking about just now? Are you going to use this kind of aircraft seat platform to develop an early warning aircraft?"

  He can understand electronic warfare and anti-submarine aircraft, but what the **** is this early warning aircraft? Can an aircraft with a load capacity of 20 tons be transformed into an early warning aircraft? Isn't this a joke?
