Chapter 686: It’s easy to trick local chickens
To cheat native chickens, don’t be too simple.
In the eyes of the natives, Gorshkov's problem is that the boiler exploded. As long as the boiler is replaced, half of the project is completed. As long as we continue to dismantle some equipment, clear the deck, and install a jump deck, this ship The aircraft carrier was refitted and it cost 10 to 20 million yuan.
If this is the case, how much money will Damao make? It’s not that you can’t make money if you don’t renovate the aircraft carrier. Even if you sell the aircraft carrier, you can still make money after selling it. Make a lot of money!
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Yarekin asked knowingly: "You bought it and dismantled it and sold it for scrap. Are you still worried about it exploding?"
As soon as these words came out, all Akar's anger could not be vented. Yes, during the bidding, it was said that the iron was dismantled and sold for scrap. Although the price was much higher than the price of scrap iron, that was Zhou Yu If you hit the yellow cover, you will be willing to fight or suffer.
Now, we can only hope that the explosion damage will not be serious. The aircraft carrier did not sink and is still moored at the dock. It should not be serious, right? Now, that's all he could do to comfort himself.
What if it is the Mingzhou Group? If they come to buy an aircraft carrier, will it also be damaged by explosions? As he walked towards the aircraft carrier, he thought, and suddenly, a thunderbolt flashed in his mind.
Click!
The words Mr. Qin said were definitely not mean, they were intentional!
Even if the Mingzhou Group buys this aircraft carrier for more than the scrap price, don’t worry. After buying it back, it will still be dismantled and sold for scrap. However, the Mingzhou Group has a complete process for processing scrap iron, and they can smelt high-quality steel. , so you can make money by dismantling and selling scrap metal.
However, we are not sure about this. If we dismantle it and sell it directly for scrap metal, we will lose more than half of the money. Moreover, if this project fails, he will be the end of his job as the factory director! The local navy is still eagerly waiting to transform this aircraft carrier!
Now, I just hope that the explosion damage will not be too serious!
With a feeling of anxiety, Akar stepped onto the warship from the bow.
After several years of weathering, the warship was already rusty. However, he had heard many legends. For example, Lao Maozi's steel was of very good quality. As long as the rust on the surface was removed, it would still be shiny underneath.
So, he took out a piece of sandpaper, squatted down, and wiped it against the deck, once, twice, three times. Sure enough, the metallic luster was revealed under the rust.
“Yes, the steel of this warship is pretty good. When we go back, we can smelt it back into the furnace to smelt more scrap iron.” Akar tried hard to convince himself, and quickly found the good parts of the warship, and then took it back to show off.
"Of course, this is made of the best ship steel we have in Damao." Yarekin said: "The surface is just floating rust. After treatment, it will still be a new ship. However, it is still scrap iron anyway, so there is no need to be so particular about cutting it. After that, just throw it into the steel-making furnace."
"Yes, you are right." Akar continued to walk forward.
When he got in through the door of the ship island, his face looked ugly inside. The steel plate caused by the explosion cracked, forming a large hole, which looked shocking.
However, there is also an explanation for this. This kind of warship in the Red Empire era had a ship island that was too large and seriously occupied the landing area on the deck. After returning, if there is too much repair work, then simply dismantle the island and replace it with a smaller one!
As for balancing the weight, it can be solved by installing more ballast water tanks below or by extending the ship island outward.
Even if this will increase the budget, it will bring about performance improvements and should be supported by the navy.
“There is a lot of equipment on it, so we carried out a lot of explosion damage inside, but you can rest assured that all the explosives have been detonated and will not cause any hidden danger to you.”
Hearing what Yarekin said, Akar's expression also changed. It would be okay if all the explosives exploded, but if there was a piece of explosives that didn't explode, the danger would be great.
“Now, are you going up or down?”
“Go down,” Akar said.
There is no road at all up there, so we can only go down and take a look. The lower part is supposed to be the hangar, so it shouldn’t be damaged by the explosion, right?
“Then you have to be careful, it’s all dark down there.” Yarekin said, turning on the flashlight.
“There are various missile loading devices in front, and we also carried out some damage. However, in order to avoid sinking the warship and making it inconvenient to haul, we used small explosive devices.” Yarekin continued.
If it were an American aircraft carrier, then all the hangars would be below. However, Lao Maozi's is a heavy-duty aircraft carrier, and there are a large number of weapon systems on it. The densely packed weapons on the bow are not only exposed, but also the bow. There must also be loading mechanisms for various missiles below.
These were also hit by explosions.
Akar frowned. He didn't want these things anymore. If they exploded, they would explode. After cleaning them out, he could expand the area of the hangar to accommodate more carrier-based aircraft. However, the amount of this project is not small. He planned it. Those budgets may not be enough.
“Let’s go to the back and take a look. There was a boiler explosion in the engine room. I hope the damage will not be too serious,” Akar said.
"It doesn't matter whether the damage is serious or not. Aren't you going to dismantle it into scrap metal? If the inside is blown to pieces, doesn't it save you the trouble of dismantling it?" Yarekin asked.
Akar was speechless. If it was really scrap metal, would we have spent such a high price? However, he could not yet explain his purpose. Before towing the warship back, he still had to talk about recycling scrap metal.
No one spoke anymore, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward. Everyone walked to the back of the warship, went down several decks, and came to the engine room.
It was pitch black here. After the boiler exploded, the place was miserable. Moreover, some wriggling maggots were actually found in the sealed engine room.
“What’s going on with these bugs?”
"At that time, there was an explosion in the engine room. High-temperature steam swept through the engine room, causing the 28 sailors inside to be directly steamed. Although we cleaned it up afterwards, there are still some residues. These things have appeared in the past few years. But it’s okay, just trample him to death.” Yarekin said, stepping up.
Akar couldn't hold it in any longer and spat it out.
Moscow.
“I heard that Akar vomited while looking at the warship.” Qin Tao said: “His resistance is too poor. How can he be the person in charge of a large shipyard like this!”
"Yes." Nicholas nodded: "That's good. If he didn't look carefully, he wouldn't know that the eight boilers inside are broken."
Actually, it was just a boiler that exploded, and then a fire broke out. Although the scene looked terrible, in fact, after cleaning up, there were still a few good boilers left inside.
However, one more boiler means more income. Of course, they will destroy all the boilers, so that the other party will have to spend more money to purchase them when repairing them.
“However, will they give up because the repair cost is too high?” Nicholas became worried again. If this is the case, then there will be no further money to be made!
"It depends on how ambitious they are." Qin Tao said, "It also depends on Akar's choice."
This is not something you can decide on your own. There is an old saying that goes, it’s up to people to plan things, but it’s up to God to make things happen!
"Yeah." Nicholas nodded: "Then we hope that they are ambitious enough and want to acquire aircraft carriers. Do you think that if they have aircraft carriers, will they pose a threat to us?"
The country of Tuji is adjacent to the Black Sea in the north, and Lao Maozi has always believed that the Black Sea is their inland sea.
"What's the threat? It won't take more than ten years to repair their aircraft carrier and purchase carrier-based aircraft. Moreover, after they have it, they will treat it like a treasure. There is no threat to the Black Sea. They have it. After that, they will definitely let the aircraft carrier sail in the Mediterranean, after all, their mortal enemy is Greece."
Nicholas nodded. This idea had just appeared in his mind. However, his superiors must have thought about it and felt that it would not intimidate themselves, so they agreed to this plan.
The main opponent of Turkey Country is Greece, and the sea of Greece is the Mediterranean Sea, so there is nothing to worry about.
“Report, the native chicken has towed the aircraft carrier away!” While the two were chatting, Zaitsev came in to report.
The native chickens were really afraid of long nights and dreams, so they towed the aircraft carrier away so quickly! Since we are traveling on the high seas, we will not encounter any problems. Next, we are waiting for the native chickens to come and purchase relevant equipment from our side while they are repairing the aircraft carrier.
This will have to wait for a while.
"Qin, the club has prepared eight missiles for you. You can take them with you at any time when you leave. We will also send some technical personnel to help you upgrade the weapon system of the Type 887 nuclear submarine to meet the needs of carrying such missiles. "Nicholas said.
Although the native chickens haven’t come to buy yet, Nicholas has already prepared everything for Qin Tao.
“Okay, our boiler will be delivered soon.” Qin Tao nodded.
Even if this matter was over, Qin Tao should have left, but he still didn't make it.
After the collapse of the Red Empire, I don’t know how many top leaders of the design bureau died due to various reasons. However, memorial services still have to be held, it just depends on the level.
After all, Alexander Yakovlev threw himself into the sea of fire and was burned to ashes under the watchful eyes of Qin Tao and others. Therefore, it is also a good intention to attend the memorial service.
“I also have a very good relationship with Commander-in-Chief Yakovlev. Our Mingzhou Group’s current stealth aircraft project also has a lot to do with him, so I must attend this memorial service.” Qin Tao said.
The relationship between the J-31A and the Yak-141 has been the focus of discussion in the industry for a long time. Some people believe that the J-31A is already a brand new fourth-generation aircraft and is different from the Yak-141. It doesn't matter, don't find a foreign father for everything, but some people think that without the Yak-141, there would be no J-31A, especially the turbofan-15 engine, which is a replica of the R-79. Without this high-thrust engine, the J-31A would have been impossible to build.
Qin Tao always laughed off these remarks, but when talking to old friends, he was also frank.
The memorial service was a little late, mainly because the investigation of the accident took a long time, and Moscow was busy selling the Gorshkov, so it has been delayed until now.
After the collapse of the Red Empire, except for the Sukhoi Design Bureau, which continued to make great progress and became the strongest aviation unit in Mao, the rest of them were not doing well.
However, the Yakovlev Design Bureau has not fallen into the miserable state of the Mikoyan Design Bureau. They still have hope.
In 1992, the Yakovlev Design Bureau formed a consortium with the airframe manufacturing plants in Saratov and Smolensk and the Zaporozho "Forward" engine plant to jointly produce civil aircraft. Although this kind of civilian short- and medium-range passenger aircraft cannot be exported, it can still get domestic orders. At the same time, Yakovlev Design Bureau is also working hard to cooperate with foreign countries, such as jointly investing with Hyundai Group to establish Hyundai-Yak Aerospace Co., Ltd. , also develops and sells small and medium-sized aircraft. They are also trying to develop a training aircraft with the Italian Aircraft Company Macchi.
Under Qin Tao's promotion, they also cooperated with Dongfang's 320 Factory. The advanced training aircraft of Factory 320 have the shadow of Yak-130. It's just that this advanced trainer aircraft uses an engine with an afterburner and is capable of supersonic flight.
This kind of engine has also been produced by Tianjiao Aviation.
The memorial service was held in a conference room of the Yakovlev Design Bureau. Black elegiac couplets decorated the entire conference room, making it look solemn and solemn. Qin Tao, wearing a black suit, and Zhao Ling, who was wearing a white dress, stood beside the portrait. Bow in front of you.
At this moment, he was filled with emotions, another era had passed! Although the Yakovlev Design Bureau can still continue, it no longer has the blood of the old Yakovlev.
Dolzenkov finally turned around. He stood in front and saluted those who came along with his family members. After everyone paid their respects, he gave a speech.
"Commander Yakovlev is a great aviation master. He not only held up the wings of the Yak-38, but also developed the Yak-141 fighter jet with advanced performance. Now, his departure is our Huge losses to the Yakovlev Design Bureau…”
"Here, we guarantee that although General Yakovlev has left, we will inherit his unfinished business!" Dorzenkov said: "As long as we raise funds, we will continue to develop vertical Bring down the fighter jets!”
This is of course just talk. At the memorial service, the last wishes of the deceased are inherited and the deceased can rest in peace. In fact, except for Yakovlev who is still insisting on working on the Yak-141, no one in the design bureau will be interested in this project.
During World War II, the Yak fighter was so famous, but after entering the jet age, the Yak was completely out of date. It was precisely because it was not taken seriously that it was possible to build a nondescript vertical take-off and landing fighter.
In fact, when the Yak-141 was obtained, it was almost mature. Unfortunately, the Red Empire collapsed, so this project could only end without any problem.
Of course, there are also problems with the technical route. This kind of lift engine has a lot of problems and is not suitable for use on ships.
If we continue to build relationships, the Mingzhou Group's J-31A fighter jets may help Yakovlev fulfill his wish.
When thinking of this, Qin Tao had a strange feeling.
“Mr. Qin, what are you thinking about?” A voice came from beside Qin Tao.
He raised his head and saw a familiar face.
“General Simonov?”
Dolzenkov finished speaking, the family members expressed their gratitude, and the leaders who came from above also finished speaking, and the entire ceremony was considered over. Everyone started to disperse, but Simonov noticed that Qin Tao was still stunned here, so he came over to say hello.
“Well, Mr. Qin, we haven’t seen each other for a long time. Do you want to have a chat?”
Qin Tao looked around. Nicholas was communicating with several officials and had no time to pay attention to him, so he smiled and nodded: "Okay."
What did Simonov come to see him for? Are you discussing continuing to export fighter jets to the East? Or are you talking about a new generation of fighter jets?
"Mr. Qin, your achievements have shocked us. I heard that your J-31A is in full bloom. Not only the carrier-based and land-based versions, but also the vertical take-off and landing version has begun to mature." Simon Nov said: "You, a shipbuilder, shocked us, who are professional in building aircraft."
Qin Tao smiled: "Commander Simonov, you are joking. We are just lucky. Your Sukhoi fighters have been sold all over the world, and we are still far behind."
"Mr. Qin, do you think we can have a chance to cooperate?" Simonov said his purpose: "If we work together, can we develop a more advanced heavy-duty fourth-generation aircraft to compete with F- 22 Benchmark?”
That’s actually the purpose!
The flagship product of the Sukhoi Design Bureau is the Su-27 series of aircraft, but it is obvious that this kind of aircraft cannot last a lifetime, and they must innovate.
They have also been developing over the years. For example, the forward-swept S-37 is refreshing. This aircraft is already a frequent visitor at air shows. In fact, the Sukhoi Design Bureau has recently developed more than This kind.
Over the years, Sukhoi has successively announced the design plans of three light fighters and trainers, S-54, S-55 and S-56. Although the names are different, just by looking at the appearance, you can be proud that these aircraft are very similar to the Su-27. The aerodynamic layout is the same, which can minimize the risk of research and development. Even the engines use three uncle.
Among them, the S-54 is an advanced trainer aircraft with a three-wing layout, and the S-55 is an advanced trainer aircraft with a conventional layout. These two aircraft are intended to compete for the market of high-education aircraft such as the Yak-130, and the S-56 It is a single-seat light fighter with a three-wing layout. Used to provide to mid- to low-end customers.
The design of these aircraft will give people the feeling that the Sukhoi Design Bureau has run out of skills and only knows how to rest on its laurels. Moreover, they are all stuck in the model stage. Without users, there is no money to develop the market.
They saw the success of Mingzhou Group, so they came to want to cooperate!
“Aren’t you cooperating with 601?” Qin Tao asked.
This matter was originally promoted by Qin Tao, hoping that the 601 Institute could also find a way out. After the province was established, there would be no more projects and it would be completely reduced to an assembly organization. The 601 Institute was also very interested and looked forward to developing it. A heavy fighter comes out.
At that time, the strength of the 601 Institute was definitely not enough. Therefore, Qin Tao’s plan was to let the 601 Institute cooperate with Sukhoi to jointly develop stealth aircraft. Anyway, Sukhoi’s stealth aircraft was also based on the Su-27. It came out flat. Now, Sukhoi Design Bureau has actually abandoned 601?
"Yes, we have cooperation with them, but this cooperation is not smooth. The technical research and development strength of 601 Institute is almost equal to zero, and in terms of stealth machines, your advantage is the greatest, so we want to be strong. Union," Simonov said.
It turns out that the Sukhoi Design Bureau disliked 601 School for being too good! Qin Tao felt a burst of emotion in his heart. He thought for a while and said: "Mr. Simonov, I'm very sorry. We have no idea of developing a heavy fighter for the time being. After all, our research and development funds are limited. We are currently focusing on We are currently developing a vertical take-off and landing model, and we have no energy to get involved in heavy fighter aircraft for the time being."
The future heavy fighter belongs to the J-20. Qin Tao has great trust in Mr. Song. Now the research and development of related heavy fighters has entered the fast lane, so there is really no need for them to get involved in this field.
This is definitely not just about adding an engine and enlarging the body. This requires a lot of changes. The twin-engine heavy-duty fighter jet is improved on the basis of the current J-31A, and its maneuverability is definitely not comparable to that of the J-20.
Qin Tao believes in Mr. Song.
Hearing Qin Tao say this, Simonov's eyes flashed with disappointment.
Mr. Qin refused! Their Sukhoi Design Bureau has lost a powerful technical force!
“Then I wonder when you will have the energy?” Simonov asked.
“I don’t know either. Let’s wait until our fighter jets are sold all over the world.” Qin Tao said.
Simonov had a smile on his face, but he was very disappointed in his heart. It seemed that there was no such chance!
"With all due respect, Mr. Simonov, your biggest problem at the moment is not technology, but funding." Qin Tao said: "It takes a lot of money to develop a stealth aircraft. If our fighter can be successfully developed, it will affect the entire development of a stealth aircraft." The aircraft’s operating model is inseparable.”
Made the fighter plane into a global joint fighter, and fooled a large number of customers into investing. This was the success, and the research and development funds for heavy fighter aircraft were even more. Where did the Sukhoi Design Bureau come from so much funds?
"Yes, it will consume a lot of money. Mr. Qin, do you mean that we also adopt an international cooperation model? This is probably a bit difficult!" Simonov said.
Medium fighter jets are fine, but heavy fighter jets are not! Take the most advanced F-22 in the United States as an example. It can only be used for its own use and will not be exported at all.
Although Sukhoi has sold a large number of Su-27s, if it is a newly developed heavy-duty stealth fighter, it cannot be sold casually.
“Can’t we just find someone to invest in? For example, Asan.”
Simonov’s eyes lit up.
