Chapter 277 The Medal of "Shanzhai"
Qin Baoshan is helpless. His son is nothing like himself and is full of evil ideas. However, Qin Tao's contribution is also huge. Now society needs him like this.
Qin Baoshan has long recognized it, so the names such as little brat have disappeared from his mouth. He even respectfully calls Mr. Qin when he is outside. But where is Qin Tao? It seems that he hasn't been called "old man" much recently.
When I think about it, I feel really emotional.
Wu Shengli was not as emotional as Qin Baoshan, and all his attention was focused on what Qin Tao just said.
“Destroy Dazhou Company? Taozi, you are too boastful.”
"Dad, overthrowing the Dazhou Company is just the first step in a long march of thousands of miles. The shipyards of Kimchi Country and the shipyards of the island countries are all in my plan. However, I have to eat one bite at a time and live one day at a time. Do it bit by bit." Qin Tao said: "From now on, just wait and do it."
"Little bastard, you don't think about how to develop our own shipyard. You always think about causing damage to others. Your idea is too dangerous." Just now Qin Baoshan was still lamenting the change of title between the two, but now he was anxious and went back .
There is something wrong with Qin Tao's words.
"The world's shipbuilding market is so big. If we don't destroy our foreign competitors and we grow stronger, how can other domestic shipyards survive?" Qin Tao glanced at his father: "Old man, you were not Have you been thinking about other brother factories? I am helping them, so that we will not grow stronger and leave them with nothing to eat. "
“Is it a good thing if you do this?”
"Of course, and if the shipbuilding industry of these countries is developed, then their warship manufacturing will also be very developed. If their shipbuilding industry is not destroyed, then they will build aircraft carriers under the banner of amphibious assault ships in the future. , wouldn’t it pose a great threat to us?” Qin Tao said: “Old man, you are old and you have lost all this knowledge. Dad, do you think I am right?”
These can be distinguished. One is called dad and the other is called old man.
Wu Shengli's face turned serious, and he had sobered up from the wine he had just drank.
If someone else said this, it must be nonsense and bragging, but Qin Tao never talks big, and he can definitely live up to what he boasts about Haikou.
In recent years, Qin Tao has proved his strength with one case after another, so Wu Shengli can be trusted now.
"If you need the navy's cooperation, within my scope of authority, I can help you." Wu Shengli said: "Just like today."
Without Wu Shengli’s greetings, they would have been unable to disguise the boiler as if it was imported in such a short period of time. They also had to go through formal customs declaration procedures.
Wu Shengli can still help with similar matters in the future.
Qin Tao nodded: "Thank you, Dad, come on, let's have a drink!"
“Do you think you can buy the Minsk in the future? Can that warship be converted into an aircraft carrier?” Wu Shengli asked.
That ship just had its boiler blown up, so it should be enough to replace it with a boiler!
“That’s terrible. You have also seen our design drawings. The tonnage is too small. It is simply impossible to take off and land the Su-27 variant we planned!”
The Su-27 is too big. After all, it is a heavy-duty air superiority fighter. It is huge in size. The deck of the aircraft carrier is too small, and it is too inconvenient to dispatch.
“What if we take off a vertical take-off and landing fighter jet?”
“Vertical take-off and landing? The Yak-38 is useless!”
“What if it’s the next generation product?”
Qin Tao was stunned: "Jacques-141?"
At first, Qin Tao packed up the dropped prototype of the Yak-141, as well as the engine and technical data, and then handed it over to the relevant domestic departments for research and development. However, Qin Tao also knew in his heart that this thing wanted to It's impossible to mature for ten or twenty years, so after this incident passed, he put it in the back of his mind.
“It’s not the Yak-141, but the engine on it.” Wu Shengli said: “The information you obtained was sent to the relevant domestic departments. After discussion, the country decided to prepare a new generation of high-thrust engines.”
Although the turbofan X is still in production, in order to ensure the continuous generation of aviation engines, China has begun pre-research on a new generation of engines. Now that we have obtained samples of the R-79 engine used on the Yak-141, of course we must For reference, we will conduct preliminary research on the next generation engine.
Qin Tao also became excited: "In terms of aviation engines, we must make great efforts and don't be afraid of burning money. It would be great if the country has this determination."
"Yes, this is also because not long ago, Lao Maozi decided to terminate the Yak-141 project at the Lisa meeting in Minsk. As a result, the R-79 engine lost the possibility of military procurement. Therefore, Tumansky The design bureau has just decided to bring it to the market, and we want to contact Lao Maozi to see if we can get the information, especially the core production equipment, materials, process steps and ingredient list of the R-79 engine."
Although we have a prototype, the most we can do is survey and map the shape data, metal structure, material, and processing technology. If we do not import these and just figure them out by ourselves, it will be difficult to achieve results.
After decades of failed attempts, China has finally figured it out.
Once you have the aircraft model, if you set up a project to develop an engine, it will definitely come to nothing, because the development time of the engine is longer than that of the aircraft!
It must be pre-researched in advance. No matter what it is used for, the high-thrust engine, especially the core engine, must be worked out first, and only then can we catch up.
As for the vertical take-off and landing fighter, it is entirely possible to wait a few years. For example, it would not be too late to initiate the project during the Ninth Five-Year Plan period. However, the engine must be developed as soon as possible.
Qin Tao nodded: "The country is willing to invest funds in pre-research of a new generation of high-thrust engines. It is visionary, courageous, and courageous. It is really good!"
"However, our country's funds are limited!" Wu Shengli said: "Taozi, you have to participate in this matter. If you go to Lao Maozi, you may be able to negotiate a price."
Qin Tao nodded: "Okay!"
Qin Tao doesn't know how much it can cut, but it would be great if Qin Tao could participate in such a key project.
“By the way, Zhang Zhong has been doing shows recently, right?” Qin Tao suddenly changed the topic.
"That's right, Tao Zi, you are really good at judging people. When you speak without restraint and talk nonsense, Zhang Zhong is definitely not inferior to you."
“Then we need to ask him to do a few special special programs to lay the foundation for our itinerary.”
A few days later.
“Hello everyone, today we have another special guest, the familiar Comrade Zhang, in our live broadcast room. What is the topic we are discussing today?”
“Star Wars, a shocking hoax spun by the United States in order to bring down the Red Empire.” Zhang Zhong was in front of the camera with a calm attitude and quickly talked about it.
"Take space-based laser weapons as an example. The Americans have formulated so many plans, but they have never been realized. So far, we can find that the United States has not put any Taiping laser weapons into space. However, in 1987, the Soviet Union The Polar Laser Orbital Station has already been launched into space, with a 1-megawatt laser cannon installed on it. If the Soviet Union does not collapse, then the second laser cannon with a 2-megawatt power has also reached space and will become a human The most lethal weapon in space.”
"So, we are very sad. If the Red Empire collapsed a few years later, President Reagan would be surprised to find that the Star Wars plan he deceived the Soviet Union suddenly became a reality. If that scene really happened, The inner feelings of Americans are as angry and helpless as when they learned that the first artificial earth satellite appeared overhead."
"It's a pity that history has no ifs. The Red Empire devoted all its strength to the confrontation and consumed a lot of national and financial resources. At its peak, the Red Empire's GDP was less than 70% of that of the United States, but they spent more Resources are allocated to military development while people's livelihood is neglected. This also gives us a warning that we must not resort to militarism at any time."
From this issue, Zhang Zhong began to analyze why the Red Empire collapsed. One of the important issues was the deception of the United States!
Why did the red empire in the 1980s experience a crisis? Why did world oil prices drop to an unbelievable price? All this is because there is a conspirator behind it!
Zhang Zhong’s analysis was sound and well-founded. Because the point of view he put forward was quite unique, it quickly spread around the world.
These analysis reports can naturally reach the ears of Lao Maozi.
“During the Red Empire period, Lao Maozi’s aviation technology was also in full bloom. There were a large number of scientific research institutions and design bureaus, eight of which were the most famous. In my opinion, they can be given the title of the Eight Great King Kongs.”
On the train heading to Moscow, in a special carriage, a voice rang out.
"Mr. Qin, you are really humorous. Please tell me which eight they are." said an energetic old man.
It was Qin Tao who just started talking nonsense. As for the person who asked him, it was Mr. Jiang, the leader of this team and a veteran of the domestic aviation engine industry. He and Mr. Liu jointly proposed the comprehensive introduction of R-79 engines. Technology, on this basis, the proposal to pre-research a new generation of high-thrust engines was approved by superior leaders. At the same time, after Lao Maozi made the decision to stop the development of Yak-141, they embarked on a trip to Moscow together.
With Qin Tao accompanying them, they were more confident, and because of Qin Tao, they had more fun along the way.
“Yes, tell me about the Eight Great Vajras.” Mr. Liu also spoke in agreement with Mr. Jiang.
Isotov Design Bureau, Kolesov Design Bureau, Kuznetsov Design Bureau, Tumansky Design Bureau, Ivchenko Design Bureau, eight design bureaus, all were mentioned by Qin Tao .
"Mr. Qin, you have done your homework in advance." Mr. Jiang said: "Some of these design bureaus are still shining, and some have disappeared from everyone. It is sad. I think back then, we introduced During the MiG-21, the Mikulin Design Bureau sent a group of designers over, and we became good friends. Now, I don’t know if we will have the chance to meet again.”
Speaking of this, Mr. Jiang and Mr. Liu were filled with emotion.
I think back then, during the period of friendship between the two sides, many fighter jets were introduced into the country, and the corresponding engines were all from the Mikulin Design Bureau. What about now? After the name was changed to the Tumansky Design Bureau, we did not see a large number of aircraft engines equipped with troops!
"There is nothing we can do about this. After all, according to Lao Maozi, whether a design bureau can develop and grow depends not only on technology, but also on connections." Qin Tao analyzed: "Look, in the propeller era, meters The grid aircraft was basically just a soy sauce. In the jet age, it began to shine, not because Mikoyan had an older brother who was a high-ranking official in Moscow. If you look at the Yakovlev Design Bureau, in the propeller aircraft era, then Awesome, why has it become marginal in the jet age? Can we only study vertical take-off and landing fighter jets with few production lines?"
Everyone was very moved.
Alexander Alexandrovich Mikulin, this famous aero-engine designer was born in 1895. His life trajectory is inseparable from his uncle, the famous Zhukovsky.
Mikulin studied hard since he was a child. When he became an adult, he came to Moscow with the help of his uncle and entered the famous Higher Technical School. He participated in the activities of the "Zhukovsky Scientific Research Group" led by his uncle himself. (Relationship is important, and ability is also important. If you have both, you will have a bright future.)
This group is very impressive, and you will know just by listening to the people in it: Tupolev, Yuriev, Stechkin...
Soon, Mikulin began to show his talents. Together with his cousin Stechkin, he designed an АМБС-1 two-stroke engine with a power of 300 horsepower. At that time, in that era, this was definitely a proper high-power engine.
In 1921, Mikulin was invited to work in the aero-engine department of the Institute of Engine Science. Two years later, he became an aero-engine designer. Two years later, he was already the chief designer.
In 1936, Mikulin became the chief designer of aeroengines at the Institute of Engine Science. Under his leadership, the famous Am-35 engine was born. During World War II, many famous aircraft, such as the IL-2 attack aircraft and the MiG-3 fighter, were equipped with this engine.
By 1940, under the operation of Mikulin, the Aero Engine Department and Manufacturing Factory were separated from the Engine Science Research Institute and became independent design bureaus and manufacturing factories. In this way, the Mikulin Aero Engine Design Bureau and the 300 Factory specializing in manufacturing aero engines were formally established. Mikulin was appointed chief designer of the design bureau and director of Factory 300.
In the era of turbojet engines, the Mikulin Design Bureau has shone even more brilliantly: the first supersonic MiG-19 and the twice-sonic MiG-21 all used aircraft from this design bureau.
However, in 1955, due to route problems, Mikulin was retired. After that, the Mikulin Design Bureau was renamed the Tumansky Design Bureau, and it also began to sit on the bench, until now.
“Now, Lao Maozi’s economy is getting worse and worse. They can’t support the Eight King Kongs at all. They can only keep two at most. In the next few years, they will either consolidate or go bankrupt.” Qin Tao continued to analyze.
In later generations, there are only two giants left: Salute and the Leurica-Saturn aero-engine complex. The reality is so cruel.
“We have quite a few aero-engine manufacturing plants and design institutes in China.” At this moment, a technician interrupted.
This sentence is correct, but what does it mean? Are there too many in our country? Need to eliminate some parts?
"Yes, so when we are developing a new model of engine, if the technical strength of one research institute is not enough, then more institutions will need to join in. The technology is too difficult and cannot be completed by just one research institute." Qin Tao opened his mouth to resolve the embarrassment.
Qin Tao knew that when developing the turbofan-15, experts from the 606th Institute, 624th Institute, 614th Institute, 410th Factory, 430th Factory and 113th Factory formed a team and finally built this engine.
Hence, the country must also take the path of integration and engage in research and development together. After all, aviation engines are the crown jewel of the industry. How can they be produced so easily?
The train entered Moscow along the way and was received by people from the embassy before heading to the hotel.
It was already November, and everything in Moscow was white. After everyone got out of the car, they wrapped their military coats tightly and walked quickly towards the hotel entrance.
"Medals are for sale, medals are for sale." Right next to the pillar of the hotel door, an old man with an unshaven beard stood there and shouted as he watched everyone pass by.
“Medal?” Qin Tao stopped in his tracks and looked at the man.
He looked about fifty or sixty years old. His hair and beard were all white, and his eye sockets were sunken. He looked very pitiful.
“What medals do you have?” Qin Tao asked.
The other party immediately became excited, and with a bang, he opened his military coat. There were many shining medals hanging on the inside of the coat.
“I have eight Soviet Heroes of Labor medals, three Lenin medals, two Suvorov medals, and four Stalin medals.” The old man said proudly: “Which one do you want to buy?”
Could this be madeinchina? Qin Tao secretly thought in his heart, how can one person have so many medals, and the knockoffs are almost the same!
“Can I see the Order of Lenin?”
"Of course." The other party immediately took out one from the inside of his coat. This action was no different from that of a street vendor. Doesn't it seem that the Lenin Medal is too cheap?
The Order of Lenin is the highest medal of honor of the Soviet Union and one of the highest honors for Soviet citizens. This award was established by the Central Executive Committee of the USSR on April 6, 1930. According to the regulations for awarding the Order of Lenin, this medal can be awarded to individuals, collectives, institutions, social groups and troops who have made outstanding contributions in socialist construction and national defense.
This is the only one that does not limit the recipients of the award, so the number of awards is relatively large. By the time the Red Empire collapsed, a total of more than 200,000 pieces had been issued, and there were several different versions.
At the beginning, it was made of silver, and the tractor in the pattern was also very large. The second version was improved, and the statue of the great man was made of gold, and then plated with a layer of silver. However, silver is easy to fall off, and it is also easy to oxidize and turn black. , so in the third edition, platinum was used to make the statues of great figures, but the overall base was still gold.
As for the fourth edition, some adjustments have been made just for portability.
Qin Tao took it and found it was relatively heavy and had a metallic texture. It didn’t seem to be plastic with copper plating.
The head part made of platinum looks very good and lifelike. The periphery of the relief head part is also very delicate. It has blue-gray enamel glaze, two golden edges, red enamel, and two golden rice ears. The left side of the medal is decorated with 1 There is a red five star with a sickle and hammer pattern underneath.
There is a red flag unfolding from left to right on the upper right side of the medal. The red flag has the golden Russian letters "Lenin" on it. There is a number on the back, more than 50,000.
"How much does this cost? I want it." Although it was a bit embarrassing to buy a domestic product after traveling abroad, this thing was so exquisitely made that Qin Tao decided to buy it and collect it.
“You really want it?” The other party was a little excited.
Qin Tao nodded.
“Then five thousand dollars.”
"What?"
Qin Tao was a little speechless. Five dollars was already very expensive. It looked like a high imitation, so he accepted it. However, for five thousand dollars, are you sure you are serious?
I am not easily ripped off.
“This one has a higher number, so it’s more expensive. If you think it’s expensive, I also have one with a lower number, and I can sell it to you for four thousand dollars.”
“Didn’t the number just be written on it casually?” Qin Tao said: “What kind of dealer did you, an old man, buy it from?”
Nowadays, the business of scammers is getting bigger and bigger. The trains from the capital to Moscow are full of scammers. There must be some scammers selling fake products like this. Although the people in front of them are genuine old men, they must be I also bought it from the dealer.
“No, these medals I have are all from my father, they are genuine!”
“Your father? What kind of powerful person is your father? He was awarded the title of Hero of Labor of the Soviet Union 8 times, the Order of Lenin 3 times, the Order of Suvorov 2 times, and the Stalin Prize 4 times?”
“My father is…”
Before he finished speaking, Mr. Jiang, who had been watching the excitement, suddenly recognized him: "Are you Xiaomi Kulin?"
Xiaomi Kulin? Old Mikulin's son?
Old Mikulin died in 1985. His son is now at this age and his appearance matches him. Could it be that the person in front of him is really the son of an aerospace engine master?
However, how could he be so miserable that he had to sell his father's medal to survive?
impossible?
“These medals represent your father’s pride, how can you sell them?”
The old man in front of me looked a little ugly: "I'm at the end of my rope. If I don't exchange these medals for money, what can I do?"
