Chapter 793 Progress of Balance Beam Early Warning Aircraft
Although big dog owners can sleep on oil resources, they cannot completely raise lazy people. They still have certain ideals and pursuits. If they have money, they can spend it on education. As for whether students will learn or not, I don’t know.
Although most students study special education, there is still a need to train a group of scientists, scholars, government workers, etc. These people still need to learn modern knowledge, including computers.
They want to learn computers, and they want to purchase the most advanced computers in the world, which requires Mingzhou Group to provide them. Unfortunately, Loongson computers are hot commodities in the international market, and it is difficult for them to purchase them in large quantities through formal channels.
Since Mr. Qin is here, of course he has to ask for help.
Qin Tao naturally responded to their requests for help.
“Of course, is 20,000 units enough?”
“Enough, enough!” The official was overjoyed. Twenty thousand units are not only enough for schools, but also for government departments to allocate a large number of them, so that all old computers can be eliminated.
"It's too hot here. Ordinary air-cooled computers may not be able to withstand it. Therefore, the computers we export to you will be upgraded to liquid-cooled heat dissipation. There will be no increase in price for additional quantities, and they will be sold to you at the original selling price." square."
“Thank you, Mr. Qin.”
"You're welcome. Since we are friends, we should help each other."
“Mr. Qin, our country has nothing but oil and natural gas. If you need it, you are welcome to order at any time. We will give you the cheapest price and supply it at any time!” Salman said.
Mingzhou Group not only builds ships, but also uses energy!
Since the development of the Daqing Oilfield and the removal of the label of an oil-poor country, the East has been able to meet its self-sufficiency in oil for a long time, and can even export oil to earn valuable foreign exchange. However, starting in 1993, the oil When there was not enough oil, we began to import it. Since then, the import volume has continued to rise. By this year, the oil import volume has reached more than 70 million tons.
From the beginning, Qin Tao has already laid out the plan, expanded diversified oil import channels, opened up oil pipelines with Lao Maozi, laid natural gas pipelines, transformed Xiaolie Mountain into offshore crude oil warehouses, carried out dynamic adjustments, etc.
In the global oil supply, the quality of the oil produced by Gouda is very good, so if you can purchase oil from Gouda, of course you cannot miss it.
"Thank you very much. When we lay the oil pipeline from Laoba, the oil we import from you can be transported directly by land, which will save us the time of sea transportation."
In fact, the cost of maritime crude oil transportation is not high. After all, oil tankers can carry hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of tons at a time. However, the long sea route is still dangerous. In order to avoid getting stuck at the critical moment, Qin Tao We have long started planning a mode of transporting goods all the way to the country through Gwadar Port.
This infrastructure project is somewhat huge, but it must be done.
Not only the oil of big dogs, but the oil of Parthia can also be easily transported by land.
Qin Tao’s trip is still necessary. Online contact is incomparable to offline meetings. If everyone sits together and has a drink, the relationship will get better and better.
Having made friends will naturally make business easier.
Just like it is now.
After the banquet, Qin Tao and others stayed in a luxurious hotel and looked at the lively scene below. Because it was too hot during the day, life here really began at night. Countless luxury cars came and went. The lives of these people, It is something that ordinary people cannot envy.
There is black liquid gold under your feet. I can’t envy this kind of luck.
“Brother Tao, are your words today too radical?” Zhao Ling said to Qin Tao: “After all, we are just a company.”
"Yes, we are just an enterprise, but we are an Eastern enterprise. As we grow and develop, we will inevitably be hostile to some people. They will make all kinds of obstacles behind our backs. We are just doing things openly. What's wrong with that? "?" Qin Tao said: "Anyway, if we don't do this, they won't be open to us. Why should we follow them? You have also seen that I have never been to any Western world in the past few years. If I go, do you believe those guys can do even more despicable things?"
Zhao Ling nodded: "Okay."
“Next, we...”
咚咚!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.
Xu Zhengyang went to open the door and saw an official standing at the door. He said respectfully: "Everyone, our leaders know that you will not come here often, but if you come, you must have a place to stay, so we have prepared a place for you." Get an apartment, and you can live there when you come back.”
A big dog owner is generous! Qin Tao knew that the other party would express something, but he didn't know what it would be. Now the mystery has been solved.
"Mr. Qin, I'll send someone to take a look first." Xu Zhengyang said, "After the handover, we will decide whether to go there."
Qin Tao nodded.
Half an hour later, a group of people left the hotel and arrived at Qin Tao's new home.
This is a luxurious villa. The entire villa is like a manor. It should be the property of an important person and has just been vacated.
"Butlers, servants, grooms, etc. are all ready-made." The official continued to introduce to Qin Tao and others: "We will pay their salaries. We are responsible for maintaining the environment here and are waiting for your arrival at any time. Before When a homeowner leaves, he only takes his personal belongings with him, and everything here is left to you.”
Everyone passed through the large swimming pool and came to the castle-like building. Several paintings in the corridor seemed to be of great value.
“Thank you for your generosity.” Qin Tao said, “It seems that I can live here permanently from now on.”
“That’s our honor. By the way, there are four cars in the garage. When you travel, you can choose the car that suits you best.”
A luxury MPV, a Rolls-Royce, a Ferrari sports car, and a grocery cart. Looking at everything in the garage, Qin Tao sighed with emotion, big dogs are rich.
Zhao Ling came to Qin Tao's side and whispered: "Brother Tao, is it appropriate for us to accept such an expensive gift?"
"Of course it's appropriate. If we accept it, they will be happy, and the relationship between friends will become closer. If we don't accept it, then they may think that we dislike this gift because it is not grand enough, and they will have to prepare a more expensive gift for us."
“Tonight, we will sleep here.” Qin Tao came to the master bedroom with the best view and said while looking at the busy traffic outside.
On the second day, Qin Tao continued to contact Salman and others to finalize the details of the cooperation, and at the same time urged the Mingzhou Group’s Second Design Office to quickly modify the design plan. On the third day, Qin Tao returned to the East, and on the special plane There are already a group of officials from big dog families.
"Mr. Qin, your special plane is a bit crude. If you like it, we can give you our own special plane." Salman pointed to the back. In order to facilitate communication, they all sat on Qin Tao's special plane. Here, their own special plane flew behind.
There is not even a gold toilet on this special plane, bad review!
"No need." Qin Tao said, "I'm used to this plane. By the way, why don't we go to other places along the way?"
The big dog owners were a little curious: “Where to go?”
“Factory 182, let’s go and see how the development of the C-130 early warning aircraft is going?”
We have been close friends for a long time. After promoting the fourth generation stealth aircraft, the big players felt that there was a lack of early warning aircraft, so they asked to order Eastern early warning aircraft. Although the big players can also get E-3, this early warning aircraft is made in the United States. , unable to open the data interface and command a huge fleet of stealth aircraft, so the best way is to order from the East.
After inspecting Dongfang's early warning aircraft, Qin Tao proposed to them the Y-8 as a platform for modification, but was rejected by the big players. We have the same type of transport aircraft, so we simply used the C-130 to modify it.
However, because he did not fully understand the aerodynamic layout of the C-130, the risk of using a large plate directly was too high. After some deception by Qin Tao, the big dog finally nodded: Just use the balance beam!
After this incident, Qin Tao never cared about it and left it to the relevant units to deal with. Now that the big dog is here this time, of course he must first check the progress of the early warning aircraft. This will also allow the Mingzhou Group to prepare and follow up. Fully.
Hearing that they wanted to see the early warning aircraft, everyone became excited: "Yes, let's take this opportunity to go and have a look."
“The last report sent said that the antenna had been installed, so we planned to go take a look, but we never paid attention to it. Now a few weeks have passed, and we don’t know how the internal modifications of the aircraft have been.”
The team that developed the early warning aircraft was the same people. In order to avoid leaking the secrets of other early warning aircraft, they specially arranged to go to the 182 Factory.
Factory 182, codenamed Shaanxi, their main product is Yunba. The airframe platform of the C-130 is about the same size as Yunba, so it is no problem to modify it in their factory. Of course, their 183 factory is still responsible for the airframe and radar equipment. The transformation was carried out by the team led by Mr. Wang.
The early warning aircraft built for big dog owners uses a brand-new method that will not reveal the secrets of our own Air Police-2000. Through the transformation of this early warning aircraft, the country can also gain experience in the research and development of the balance beam, which can serve multiple purposes.
When the special plane landed on the runway of Factory 182, it was already afternoon. The big business owners were in high spirits and not tired from the journey. After getting off the plane, they went straight to the factory specially prepared for the modification of C-130 early warning aircraft.
Since Qin Taoxing came here directly and led the team here, the news was only received an hour or two in advance, and no welcome ceremony was prepared. Mr. Wang stood outside the factory, and the big dog owner originally stayed here. representatives welcomed the arrival of these people.
“Mohammed, how is our early warning aircraft?” Salman asked immediately after seeing his companions.
“Our early warning aircraft is being assembled and will be ready for test flight soon. This aircraft is very beautiful.” Mohammed reported excitedly.
Mr. Wang looked at Qin Tao and others with a smile: "Mr. Qin, are you here?"
“Well, come and take a look. Congratulations on developing a brand new early warning aircraft.”
"Well, now our AWACS models are more complete." Mr. Wang said: "These technologies can be transplanted to the Yunba at any time, but I don't know that the Air Force..."
When he said this, Mr. Wang quickly shut up. The big dog was still there, so he had better not talk nonsense, lest the big dog knew that he was fooling them and would be unhappy. This balance beam method has a scanning blind spot after all.
At this time, a group of big business owners had already entered the workshop, and the C-130 early warning aircraft appeared in front of them.
The air force of big dog families has a lot of C-130s. They are already familiar with this kind of aircraft, but they have never seen the way they carry a big stick on the back of the aircraft.
This stick is long in shape and has a rectangular cross-section. The front is directly stuck on the fuselage in the center of the wing with two outriggers. The back extends to the front of the vertical tail and is fixed by three outriggers.
The legs are very high, at least two meters by visual inspection, which can keep the antenna away from the fuselage and greatly reduce the blind zone.
"This layout can greatly reduce air resistance. After we installed the antenna, we conducted several test flights without any problems at all." Muhammad said: "However, after all the electronic equipment is installed, the power of the engine will There may be some shortcomings, after all, it requires a lot of electricity.”
Originally, as an ordinary transport aircraft, it was enough to use one of its four engines to drive a generator. But now that it wants to become an early warning aircraft, it must increase the power generation. If the power generation is too much, the driving force will be insufficient.
Everyone frowned: "Yes, this is a big problem. Is there a solution?"
“Yes, there are two solutions. One is to introduce more powerful engines from the United States or the United Kingdom, so that there is enough reserve power to generate electricity, and the other is to use engines produced by Tianjiao Aviation.”
Tianjiao Aviation has developed and produced an increasing number of engines, including the special turboshaft engine D-227. This engine has been used on carrier-based early warning aircraft, and can also be modified and installed on aircraft such as Y8. On C-130, it is also possible.
“Modifying the engine is a big project.” Qin Tao did not approve of the plan to use Tianjiao Aviation’s engine to modify it. He was very serious: “If it can be modified with a high-horsepower engine of the same model, it is the most suitable choice.”
The same engine can be improved and upgraded to increase power. The Americans must have similar engines, and it is most suitable to use theirs to modify it. There is no need to make any changes in appearance, just plug it in directly.
Mohammed nodded: "Yes, Mr. Qin, you are right. We will use the excuse of upgrading ordinary transport aircraft to propose to the United States the import of engines of the same model with greater power."
“Then as soon as possible, our early warning aircraft project is very important, and we cannot delay the progress.” Salman said, looking inside the cabin: “How is the installation inside? Can we go in and take a look?”
"Of course." Mr. Wang said, "It's just that the equipment is still being installed, so it's a little messy inside."
There are indeed equipment and cables everywhere inside. Looking at the densely packed things, everyone will feel how complicated this thing is. Dongfang is so amazing that it can actually install such complicated things.
"Since the space of the machine body is not very large, after repeated research, we decided to arrange six control consoles inside, three people in a row, back to back." Mr. Wang pointed to the control console inside and said: "Although there are some people There are few, but advanced data links are used to transmit data. It is still no problem to command hundreds of aircraft. The target data monitored at the same time is determined by the computer system. We use the most advanced Loongson-3 on this aircraft. The processor can simultaneously monitor more than 800 targets and track more than 400 targets, and can intelligently determine the degree of threats and provide various levels of early warning."
“This performance is already very good, and the E-3 can only monitor up to 600 targets.” Salman said: “We are very satisfied with this early warning aircraft!”
Electronic technology is constantly developing. If the E-3 early warning aircraft, which was born in the 1980s, is not upgraded, it will definitely not be able to compare with the brand-new early warning aircraft. However, the early warning aircraft exported by the Americans have been consistently shrinking, and the Orient has used the latest ones. When advanced technologies are used against each other, the performance of the two can be distinguished immediately.
Except for not having omnidirectional reconnaissance capabilities, its other performances are better than those of the E-3.
"By the way, in order to systematically improve this transport aircraft, we dismantled all the interiors of the aircraft, and then we found something inside." After Mr. Wang finished speaking, he looked at Muhammad: "Mr. Muhammad, Has that been reported?"
"Not yet. This is of great importance and I need to report it in person." Muhammad said, waving to his men to get things.
Soon, something the size of a cigarette box was displayed in front of everyone.
“What is this?” Salman asked.
“GPS receiver.”
“There is a GPS receiver in the navigation system of our plane, right?” Salman was a little curious.
"Yes, there is indeed one in the navigation system, but that system must be controlled by the pilot. The pilot can turn it off at any time as needed. And this GPS receiver has a built-in battery that can automatically charge when the aircraft starts. It will almost It works around the clock without interruption. It also has a 2G mobile phone card inside, which can send its own GPS coordinate data to the outside world through short messages when needed."
As soon as these words came out, everyone’s expressions changed.
"Damn it, our planes have always been under their supervision?" Salman said angrily: "They have never trusted us. If it hadn't been for this modification of the plane, we might never have discovered it!"
It feels uncomfortable to be under supervision, and now they are all angry.
If you want to locate, the simplest thing is a GPS receiver, but this thing only receives signals and does not transmit signals. Therefore, if you want to achieve the ability to monitor, you usually use a combination of GPS and mobile phone networks. After all, this is the most economical method. It's expensive, and it's also hidden. If you get a radio, once you send a signal, it may be monitored, but mobile phone networks are everywhere. This kind of signal is hidden in a large number of cellular mobile phone networks, making it difficult to detect.
Furthermore, radios have limitations on the transmission distance. It is not easy for a device of this size to be able to spread dozens of kilometers, but with the help of mobile phones, it can spread all over the world through the Internet.
Mohammed did not report it immediately because he was afraid of being overheard during the reporting process. This matter was too big and must not be exposed. He originally planned to report it when he returned to the country, but now that Salman and others came over, the report was made.
“We need to check all other aircraft and remove all these things!” Salman said: “We don’t want to be monitored for the things we paid for!”
"Everyone, I don't think this is a good idea. If you do this, they will know that the secret has been discovered by you. They may take advantage of the maintenance time to stuff this kind of thing into other places." Qin Tao said : "Now that you know the existence of this thing, just put a mobile phone signal jammer aside when needed, and the problem will be solved."
It is easy to find something this small. If it was discovered this time, it will be moved to a more hidden place next time.
Salman thought about it seriously. After a few minutes, he nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Qin's method is good. If this signal jammer does not interfere with our avionics, it will be perfect."
“Of course there is no problem. We only interfere with the 2G network signal, and the interference range is not large. When in use, just stick it on the inner wall of the cabin where the box is.”
“I don’t know if this thing has exposed the existence of our early warning aircraft.” Another person said worriedly.
"Probably not. This mobile phone card does not open communication services in other countries, especially in the East. We have already investigated it." Mohammed said.
Although the standards of 2G networks are the same all over the world, the service providers are different. If the service is not activated, there will definitely be no network signal.
"It seems that they plan to use our early warning aircraft for surveillance after they have been modified, and they may only have them on our early warning aircraft." Another person analyzed: "After all, our early warning aircraft are used to command stealth aircraft in combat. Yes, if the location of the early warning aircraft is exposed, it also exposes the location of our stealth aircraft in disguise."
When this analysis came out, everyone felt cold sweat break out on their backs. If this analysis is true, then the one who installed this device for them would not be the Americans, but the Mossad!
“In the future, we will purchase more weapons from the East. Weapons purchased from the West are unreliable! After all, they are not from the same group as us!”
“That’s right, the East’s weapons will not have these things, the East is our true friend!”
“Once on the battlefield, the Western weapons we have now may have loopholes, just like the stupid legal air defense automated system back then!”
Zhao Ling glanced at Qin Tao meaningfully. Could this thing be directed and performed by us? However, since Brother Tao doesn't say anything, he can just pretend that he doesn't know.
