Chapter 1018 Want a production line for fourth-generation stealth aircraft?

 The other side of the earth.

“The big dog owner completely betrayed us and actually signed a 052C purchase contract with Dongfangren!”

“That’s right, we shouldn’t have helped them back then!”

Although the news of the big dog ordering the 052C has been deliberately suppressed, in the shadow of the war, almost no media will care about this kind of warship procurement. Their eyes are all on the war, but the Americans themselves are still very concerned about it.

“They are trying to expand their influence by cooperating with Easterners. This is obviously nonsense. They are just a group of bumpkins lying on their wealth. They will never develop.”

“I heard that they have signed an agreement with Mingzhou Group and want to build the Jubail Shipyard.”

“Yes, it is said that Mingzhou Group also holds 10% of the shares.”

"Huh, a small shipyard is nothing to be afraid of. Even if they have a shipyard, they have to import steel, and even shipbuilding workers have to be hired from other places. Their construction costs are far higher than any other country. They Just relying on money to subsidize shipyards has absolutely no market competitiveness."

The big players have no intention of hiding this kind of thing. After all, it is a regular business cooperation. News of the Jubail Shipyard has spread throughout the shipbuilding industry, and everyone is looking at it as a joke.

The big dog owners have money and can do whatever they want. However, when their oil extraction is finished, or the world no longer needs oil, the big dog owners will have no future. These shipbuilding industries that cost huge sums of money to build will definitely wither quickly. After all, there is no any market competitiveness.

The largest shareholder of the shipyard is Goudahu State Oil Company, which holds 50.1 percent of the shares, followed by Goudahu State Shipping Company, which holds 19.9 percent, and which builds the largest drilling rig in the region. Lamprell holds 20% of the shares, while Mingzhou Group only holds a pitiful 10% of the shares. It can be said that it is a soy sauce player.

Of course, Mingzhou Group focuses on construction, so during the construction process of the shipyard, it will make a large profit, far more than 10%. However, after the construction is completed, it will be squeezed out.

 Everyone is not optimistic about it.

Swift had a gloomy face, listening to the ridicule of these companions, his eyes were full of gloom, these guys are too short-sighted!

This war has stimulated the big dogs and made them more determined to embrace the East. The people in the East are very bad. They must be thinking of some dirty tricks to squeeze them out of the oil areas. These people have nothing but belittling others. to other actions!

At this moment, someone came in in a hurry.

“Everyone, I just received the latest news from a big dog owner.”

"what news?"

 Swift felt his eyelids twitching.

“The big dog family gathered people from several surrounding countries and went to their capitals for a meeting. The topic of the meeting was the sharing of warships. The big dog family ordered a total of ten 052Cs. They decided to share these warships for other people to use.”

 Share warships?

After thinking about it for a while, the big guys realized: they used to laugh at the big guys, thinking that even if they bought warships, there wouldn't be so many sailors to drive them. But now, the big guys have used the trick of sharing warships to solve the problem. !

 There are no big dog owners, but there are in other countries! Big dogs provide money and other countries provide people. In this way, wouldn't they form a joint fleet in the region?

 No matter what region they are in, they are afraid of union. Once united, there will be nothing to do with the Americans.

Thinking of this, everyone's expressions changed.

 After a while, they became angry.

 “No, we absolutely disagree!”

“I think our tanks should get lost once!”

 In the midst of their anger, Swift sneered.

All of this must be the conspiracy of Mr. Qin, that guy is so bad, full of bad ideas, and has turned the whole world upside down!

 Lao Maozi's navy relied on President Qin to restore its combat effectiveness. The canal in Siam was opened by President Qin. Now, the oil region, which Americans regard as the lifeblood, has also been messed up by President Qin.

"Investigating Mr. Qin's whereabouts, we must try every means to kill this person!" Swift said coldly: "If he doesn't die, the world will be in chaos."

 A sneeze!

Qin Tao sneezed inexplicably.

At this time, Qin Tao was standing at the Isfahan Aircraft Factory in Parthia, looking at the fighters being produced on the production line.

After finishing his work, Qin Tao left the country of the big dog family. After all, the situation there was complicated, but he was unwilling to go back directly, so he stopped by the Anxi Kingdom to have a look.

Qin Tao’s special plane landed directly in Isfahan. After being greeted by his old friend Husseini, he was directly invited to the aircraft factory here.

"This is our Lightning fighter aircraft." Husseini introduced to Qin Tao: "Currently, we can produce more than 90% of the parts for this aircraft!"

 The so-called Lightning is actually a replica of the F-5 fighter plane. This aircraft was just the main model of the West in the 1960s and 1970s, and it has been thirty or forty years ago.

Although the fuselage is small, it makes the aircraft more flexible, but it is also destined to have a small fuel load, a short cruising distance, a small nose, and cannot install a large-diameter radar. The cockpit is too small to allow the pilot to have a comfortable ride. environment.

However, this is still a huge breakthrough for the Parthian aviation industry, which means that they can manufacture their own fighter planes to make up for the consumption of the war.

At the same time, they also made improvements to the aircraft, especially replacing the single vertical tail of the F-5 fighter jet with dual vertical tails that are tilted outward. This is a layout unique to stealth aircraft. They are also constantly working hard to find A breakthrough in aircraft technology.

 However, without the support of external technical strength, this kind of aircraft would not be able to mature at all, and changing from a single vertical tail to a double vertical tail is not that simple.

Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, this is a huge breakthrough for your aviation industry! Congratulations on being able to produce fighter jets on your own."

“We have used a lot of advanced equipment on this aircraft, including the cockpit display system, which has also evolved to a glass cockpit with LCD display.” Husseini continued.

 Qin Tao continued to inspect, and when he finished looking at the aircraft production line, Husseini suddenly said: "Mr. Qin, do you think our production line can produce stealth Kach fighters?"

 The Kach fighter is named after the Parthian state. In fact, this fighter is a fourth-generation stealth aircraft produced by the Mingzhou Group!

At first, when Qin Tao was working on the J-31A project, he was seriously short of funds. After the Parthian people heard about it, they immediately paid a large sum of money and became the largest sponsor. Later, although there were big dogs, there were more funds, but it is always better to provide help in times of need than icing on the cake.

 At present, the fighter planes imported by Parthia are still being slowly delivered, but it is obvious that they are not just satisfied with purchasing, they want to produce them!

 Can Qin Tao agree?

If you agree, it means that this powerful fourth-generation stealth machine will be exported abroad for the first time. This is not good for the Mingzhou Group itself. It will definitely make a lot less money. However, if you don't agree, it will definitely It will cast a shadow on the cooperation between the two parties, which involves the issue of how to weigh.

Seeing Qin Tao's hesitation, Husseini continued: "We know, Mr. Qin, that you are our best friend. You have also seen that the recent situation is too complicated. We need to enhance our capabilities so that we can Persevere in possible wars in the future."

Americans are fighting a war, and they are also using this method to intimidate others. You see, if you don’t obey, you will be beaten!

 They also have a strong sense of urgency.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside.

“The Lightning 80 fighter jet that just flew has a serious malfunction!”

 Hearing this, Husseini’s expression changed.

“Mr. Qin, I need to go to the site to see.”

"I will go with you."

So, the two of them rushed to the scene together, which was the runway outside the aircraft factory. A blue and yellow-painted Lightning-80 fighter plane was flying over from a distance. The plane twisted left and right, which looked very serious.

 “Steady, steady!” The on-site commander shouted loudly with a radio in his hand, but it seemed to have no use except increasing the pilot’s tension. Everyone looked at the sky nervously, watching the plane continue to descend.

"Vertical tail failure." Qin Tao said from the side: "The tilted double vertical tails need computer control. During the test flight of this aircraft, there should be an accident with the vertical tails."

 Twisting from side to side, it must be a pot with double vertical tails.

The original F-5 fighter has a single vertical tail, so that the aerodynamic torque is linear and can be operated hydraulically, but the V-shaped double vertical tail is different. Under this structure, the vertical tail rudder surface provides control at different deflection angles. There will be a big difference in the horizontal steering torque, and only fly-by-wire operation can solve this problem.

 If there is a design flaw or there is an accident in the vertical tail, it will lead to the current outcome.

 “Then what should we do?” Husseini also became anxious at this time.

“It is better not to operate the rudder and use the thrust difference of the two engines to control the direction. It should be more stable.”

 This is the advantage of a twin-engine fighter. Since there are two engines, there are also two throttle levers. They are usually linked and controlled together. When needed, they can also be separated to create different thrusts to provide yaw torque.

Among them, the Tomcat fighter is easier to operate because the two engines are more than one meter apart. At such a long distance, the thrust of the two engines is slightly different and they will yaw immediately.

Although the F-5 fighter is small, it also uses two engines. The afterburner thrust is only 22 kilonewtons, which is not as good as many training aircraft engines.

“That’s right, use the thrust difference to control it!” Husseini nodded, and then asked the people around him to tell the air.

The plane finally stopped twisting and turning, and the pilot struggled to adjust the plane's course and align it with the runway.

 “Put up the landing gear, put up the landing gear!” someone shouted loudly.

The pilot tried his best to control the yaw of the aircraft and even forgot to extend the landing gear.

The aircraft continued to approach, and the landing gear touched the runway almost in the middle of the runway, and then stopped at the end of the runway.

 Everyone rushed over and looked at the tail of the aircraft. They saw that one of the original V-shaped vertical tails had broken off from the wing root, and the other's rudder was shaking, losing control of the steering gear.

"Fortunately, we finally landed." Husseini was still frightened, and then looked at Qin Tao: "Mr. Qin, thank you for your advice. I didn't expect you to be so familiar with airplanes."

 Mr. Qin is a shipbuilder.

“When our domestic J-H-7 was on test flight, the rudder flew off. Later, two engines were used to control the yaw to fly the aircraft back,” Qin Tao said.

This is really what he saw in a test flight record. The JH-7 test flight went through many dangers, and test pilots were sacrificed during the test flight. If a country wants to develop its aviation industry independently, it must pay a lot of money. of.

"The rudder flew off? Yes, our rudder almost flew off." Husseini was still frightened.

 They just changed it to twin vertical fins, which was also very difficult. After all, the research and development of the aviation industry is not about making toys, it must have a scientific research and development process.

“It should be that your materials are not strong enough and the processing accuracy is insufficient.” Qin Tao said: “With the current level of your aviation industry, there is still a long way to go before you can manufacture advanced fighter jets.”

 Qin Tao finally found a reason to reject Parthia's request.

  Directly introduce the production line of the fourth-generation stealth aircraft? Of course not! Your technical level is not up to par!

Hosseini nodded: "Yes, we do not yet have the ability to produce the most advanced fighter jets. If our aviation industry wants to develop, there is still a long way to go."

Looking at his discouraged look, Qin Tao thought of something else.

"However, you don't have to worry. Although you can't manufacture advanced fighter jets, your aviation industry still has great potential. For example, you can develop advanced drones. This kind of aircraft is less technically difficult and easier to develop. And As long as it is developed well, it can even be exported in large quantities in the future.”

 The technical content of drones is not very high. You can purchase some kits from a certain website and assemble them.

The drones of the Parthian Kingdom were also famous in later generations. They appeared on many occasions and created many miracles. Now, of course, Qin Tao can also show them such a way.

 Hearing Qin Tao's words, Husseini's eyes lit up: "Drone?"

“Yes, even if the plane crashes, the pilot will not be lost. In the future, there will be more and more drones. The engine of your Lightning fighter is also good, and it can be used as the power of the drone.”

"Well, I think we should really give it a try." Husseini nodded: "This is a good direction of development."

“It will be safer to wait until your technical strength becomes stronger before taking over the production line of fourth-generation stealth aircraft.”

Even if Parthia has a production line for fourth-generation stealth aircraft, it still needs to import radars, engines and other components from the East. The East can still make a lot of money, and if it takes another ten or twenty years, this kind of fourth-generation stealth aircraft will still be imported from the East. The production technology of stealth aircraft is no longer advanced, so of course it can be exported.

"Mr. Qin!" The two were chatting when a car drove in. Before the car stopped, a man jumped out and ran over excitedly.

“Mr. Qin, why don’t you say hello in advance and I’ll come to greet you? I heard you were coming and drove all the way from the shipyard!”

 Karim, another old friend of Qin Tao.

“It’s been a bit rough recently. My travel is very confidential and I cannot notify you in advance.” Qin Tao said, “I’m very sorry, my old friend, you look good lately.”

"Yes, Mr. Qin, our shipyard is developing very well, and our warship manufacturing is also very good. However, we still hope to have larger warships. I heard that you have allowed the export of 052C destroyers. Can you please Will relevant technologies be exported to us?”

 Qin Tao shook his head firmly: "No."

This answer was crisp and clear, and Karim was stunned for a moment: "Why?"

“Because we cannot violate relevant international regulations, you are not allowed to import weapons.”

"But, didn't we get a fourth-generation stealth aircraft from you? Recently, our fourth-generation stealth aircraft has played a huge role, often sneaking into their aircraft formations. If there is a real confrontation, we can Kill them easily! We need powerful weapons from the East, not just stealth machines, but also warships!"

The aircraft can be sold, on the one hand, because Parthia provided a large amount of money when it was first developed, and on the other hand, it is also because Qin Tao can make the Americans think that the technology comes from Lao Maozi. In this way, you can hide everything from the outside world.

 Warships are different.

If the warships of the Parthian Navy are also piled up in a four-sided phased array, and the appearance is still curved, it is almost saying that there is no three hundred taels of silver here.

Besides Dongfang, who else in the world has developed this kind of phased array radar?

 DaMao does not have this technology. DaMao's phased array radar still uses Dongfang's T/R components, and progress is slow.

 Cannot be exported, absolutely cannot be exported.

 The big dog owners can have it because they are not sanctioned and can purchase various weapons, but the Parthian state cannot.

Karim came all the way here just to get this thing. Unexpectedly, he was rejected by Qin Tao, and his eyes instantly lost hope.

“Is it so difficult for us to obtain advanced warships?”

“This is not difficult. Although you are prohibited from purchasing weapons, you are not prohibited from sharing them. You can find a big business owner and join their shared warship plan.”

 “Join them?” Karim’s face became serious, Mr. Qin, you should know the relationship between us, right?

"Between countries, there are no permanent friends or enemies, only eternal interests. It is because you are not united that you are fragmented and ravaged by the Americans. Now, the big dogs have gradually separated from the United States. You You should change your past attitude. As long as you fight side by side, this place belongs to you. No external force can interfere with your area." Qin Tao said: "If you have this intention, I can go to the big dog family and show your goodwill. Take it over."

“The benefits of joining this shared warship plan are really great. I heard that even Asan has gone there.” Husseini interjected from the side.
