Warship of Great Power

Chapter 176: I doubt your sincerity

Chapter 176 I doubt your sincerity

 Qin Tao has a hard life. He received a call from his half-father-in-law. How could he stay leisurely in Mingzhou? He had to take Zhao Ling back to the capital, and then embarked on a trip to Moscow again.

This time Mr. Wu was still leading the team, but Mr. Lin finally took a break from his busy schedule and followed them. There were more than a dozen people in the group, and Dionysus was among them.

"Mr. Qin, you are really a capable person." Mr. Lin said to Qin Tao with emotion on the special train.

"Mr. Lin, you are so grateful." Qin Tao said: "I am just an ordinary person with limited abilities. Even if I have helped the navy so much, in the end, I still have to compete to get the warship construction contract. .I haven’t even written a single character yet.”

Although Qin Tao went abroad this time for many reasons, one of the important issues is that only by obtaining this S-300 air defense system can he build his 051C. Therefore, Qin Tao is doing it for himself and cannot Not coming.

Although Qin Tao is still concerned about the construction of liquefied gas ships and shallow-draft river-sea ships, and whether the shipyard can successfully connect the floating dock, now he can only place his hopes on others. With Zhao Changshui and Cong Ju as the backbone, as long as Qin Tao provides basic ideas, they are supposed to do a good job, so this is considered as training for these people.

Hearing Qin Tao talk about the warship construction contract, Mr. Lin smiled: "Building warships is different from building aircraft. We only have two domestic factories that can build fighter jets. What about warships? There are more than a dozen or more than twenty factories of various sizes. It can be built, so of course you have to keep an eye on this piece of meat.”

After finishing speaking, Mr. Lin glanced at Qin Tao again: "However, now is a market economy, everything depends on competition. I think your factory is still quite strong, and it will definitely be able to compete with that Zhongjiang Shipyard. Just be careful Just let the other party play dirty tricks behind his back."

Qin Tao nodded. Jiang was still very old, and Mr. Lin was quite experienced. Thinking of the new Li Sihai who joined the shipyard, Qin Tao knew that this guy would definitely make some moves while he was away. However, with the Marines watching, he couldn't do any tricks.

“Mr. Qin, let’s go see Lao Maozi this time. Will they play any tricks on us again?” General Wu turned his eyes back from the window and asked Qin Tao this question.

Qin Tao smiled: "What other tricks can they play? We have seen through it a long time ago. Now, they have decided to export the S-300PMU missile system to us. They should not tamper with this kind of weapon system, and The version they sold to Bulgaria and Czechoslovakia was the same. It's just..."

 “Just what?”

"After all, this kind of missile is already a version that has been equipped with the troops. It is the same as their own S-300PS system. According to the development rules of equipment generation and pre-research generation, there must be more in their hands. Advanced models.”

"Yes, they must have more advanced products on hand. However, if we want to purchase this kind of weapon system, it will be very difficult. It is impossible for them to hand over the new model under development to us." Mr. Wu said. .

Qin Tao nodded: "Of course not. It is probably because the new model they are developing has made breakthrough progress, so they decided to sell the S-300PS to us."

Last year, they went to Lao Maozi. The other party refused to sell the S-300PS and would use the S-300PT to fool the delegation from China. But this year, the other party suddenly decided to sell it.

 This is very interesting, including the reason why Lao Maozi needs to exchange weapons for light industrial products, and also the reason why their new generation of products has achieved breakthrough progress.

 What is the new generation product?

Of course it is S-300PM. This product, the export model is S-300PMU1, was officially launched in 1993. Therefore, the second batch of S-300 systems purchased by China is this kind.

 Compared with the second-generation system, the biggest feature of this system is the use of a more powerful 64N6 radar. This radar has the NATO code name "BigBird", which means "Big Bird".

It can be seen from the literal meaning that this kind of radar is very large. While the ordinary S-300 system can be installed on the Maz 543 off-road chassis, this kind of radar can only be installed on a trailer, using a same model The off-road chassis is used as a tractor.

This powerful radar has multi-target scanning/early warning/processing/engagement capabilities, especially anti-missile missions against ballistic missiles. Therefore, this radar gives ground missile forces the ability to intercept ballistic missiles.

In terms of organization, the 64N6 is a regiment-level radar with several battalions under its jurisdiction. Each battalion includes several missile companies. Each missile company is equipped with a 30N6 fire control radar vehicle (some translations call it 30D6, and some It’s called 30H6. The Hero of East China is not very educated and I don’t know which one is Maozi’s and which one is the English version, so I use N for both.), each launch vehicle can control more than 3 5P85 series launch vehicles, and 30D6 is responsible for missile guidance. Provide targeted illumination.

Now, what they want to purchase is only the equipment of the missile battalion, so they can only buy the 30D6 radar truck, as long as the other party does not use the old 5N63 radar and fools them.

As for a big guy like 64N6, Lao Maozi will definitely not sell it now. However, Qin Tao is not in a hurry. If he refuses to sell it this time, he will be fine next time.

Although Qin Tao knew this clearly, it was not convenient for him to say it directly. How did he know it? These are Lao Maozi's core secrets. That Nicholas has no clue what he wants to say, so he talks to Qin Tao about everything?

However, Qin Tao's analysis has also benefited other people a lot, and everyone strongly agrees with Qin Tao's words.

The train ran across the vast land and finally entered the familiar Moscow station. When they came to the Diamond Central Design Bureau again, Qin Tao was surprised to see a familiar shadow.

“Nicholas, my old friend, this world is really too small, we actually met here!” Qin Tao looked at Nikolai with some curiosity.

Nicholas smiled: "I have completed my mission to Moscow and plan to go back. I heard that you are coming, so I specially waited for you here."

 Are you waiting for your side on purpose?

 Mr. Wu and Mr. Lin both greeted Nicholas and shook hands warmly, but Qin Tao always felt that Nicholas had other tasks here.

Could it be that... Qin Tao thought of something and was waiting for an opportunity to deceive him!

Yefimov is still in charge of receiving the Diamond Central Design Bureau. Benjing did not come. It is probably because of the last deception that he felt ashamed to come.

In the conference room, Yefimov seemed to have forgotten all the unpleasantness last time and looked at everyone with a smile: "Everyone, welcome. Now, let me first introduce to you our export-type S-300PMU weapon system. This is our most advanced model yet.”

There is no need to fool around this time, Yefimov also dutifully explained all the technical details.

“If you want to purchase four battalions, the equipment for one battalion will cost US$100 million and four battalions US$400 million.” After Yefimov introduced the technology, he began to negotiate the price.

 At this moment, Qin Tao spoke.

“Comrade Yefimov, can you tell us more about the performance of the missile?”

“In terms of missile systems, we will export 5V55KD missiles to you, with a range of 90 kilometers, which will allow you to obtain outstanding regional air defense capabilities.”

Even the 5V55K missile with a range of 47 kilometers that was promoted last time is actually not available in China. Now, you have to be satisfied with the range of 90 kilometers, right? It's just that Yefimov was a little curious at this time. He had already said it just now. Didn't this guy listen carefully just now?

Mr. Wu, Mr. Lin and others were quite satisfied with the opponent's attitude this time. However, Qin Tao shook his head: "The missile still uses backward semi-active guidance. If it uses a more advanced TVM guidance method, alright!"

Nicholas also looked at his old friend with some humor: "Qin, your requirements are really too high."

Qin Tao shook his head: "No, it's not that my requirements are too high, but the actual needs. If we have TVM guidance technology, even if we use existing missiles, the range can be greatly improved. It is estimated that we can reach A range of one hundred and fifty kilometers. You are all technical experts, so you should know this, right?"

Yefimov looked at Qin Tao with complicated eyes: "Can you please explain it carefully?"

"Now, our missile with a range of 90 kilometers uses a semi-active guidance method. In this method, the radar needs to illuminate the target all the time, and the missile rides on the radar beam and flies forward. If the target maneuvers, the missile must Following the action will consume more fuel, so the actual range of the missile is estimated to be doubled, and it may not be possible to launch it fifty kilometers away."

Everyone knows this. The maximum range of a missile is theoretical. Just listen. Most of the actual ranges are half and half.

"The previous unrestricted command guidance was prone to interference, so the missile technology turned to semi-active. Now, as long as both technologies are integrated. The unrestricted command guidance receiver is installed on the tail of the missile, and the receiver is installed on the front of the missile. Seeker for semi-active radar.”

These are basic things. Of course Qin Tao knows: "In this way, in the first half of the missile's flight, use radio instructions to guide it, first let the missile fly to a high-throw trajectory, and then in the second half, receive the radar illuminated by the target. Echo. This makes it perfect for attacking long-distance targets.”

 High-throw ballistics are a simple and effective way to increase the range of missiles. After all, the higher the altitude, the thinner the air, and the smaller the resistance the missile encounters.

In terms of air-to-air missiles, there is an example. When ordinary missiles cannot fly 50 kilometers away, Phoenix missiles can kill enemy aircraft at a distance of 100 kilometers. Of course, this is because the Phoenix missiles are large and contain a lot of fuel. , however, another reason that cannot be ignored is that after being launched, the Phoenix missile climbed directly to an altitude of 20,000 to 30,000 meters, flying at high speed in a thin atmosphere. If it flies directly to the target below 10,000 meters, , this thing can fly up to twenty or thirty kilometers.

 The same is true for anti-aircraft missiles.

TVM, a composite guidance mode, has been popular for a period of time because it can be played in this way and greatly increase the range. As for the later active radar guidance, it actually follows the same process, but the first half of it relies on advanced Use the electronic program to write a preliminary high-throw ballistic program. First fly according to this program until you are almost near the target, and then turn on your own active radar seeker to find the target.

S-300PT uses radio command guidance, and S-300PS uses semi-active radar guidance. Now, when these two technologies are combined, isn’t it TVM?

Yefimov sighed: "Yes, Qin, you are right, but..."

 But this requires the integration of electronic systems! Do you think it's that easy? Our technical experts are of course doing this work, but it is not that easy!

  Putting these together, it becomes S-300PM.

Qin Tao smiled: "You can't do it?"

“Of course not, how could we not do it?”

“You didn’t think of that?”

“That’s even more so. How could we not have imagined that our Soviet technical experts are the most powerful.” Yefimov said.

 “So, you already have it?”

"certainly!"

“Then we request to purchase this more advanced model.” Qin Tao said.

Yefimov was stunned for a moment. Oh no, he fell into Qin Tao's trap!

Qin Tao is really too insidious and cunning. Now, after saying these words, he knows that he has been bypassed, but it is already too late.

“Sorry, this model is top secret for us and cannot be exported yet.” Yefimov said.

"Is this your sincerity?" Qin Tao said: "I remember that when you welcomed us, you clearly said that you would sell us the most advanced model."

"That's right. We are here to buy advanced weapon systems. We don't want backward things." Mr. Lin immediately realized. On the train, Qin Tao speculated that Lao Maozi already had the latest model, so he would buy the latest model. The unadvanced S-300PMU was sold to his own side. Now, Qin Tao has deceived the other side's new model, and of course he has to pursue the victory.

“Efimov, please show your sincerity and don’t fool us like last time.” Mr. Wu also joined the battle group.

 Efimov felt the sweat on his forehead, and it suddenly fell down.

Nicholas looked at the situation and couldn't help coughing: "Cough, cough, Qin, my friend, can you listen to me?"

Of course, Qin Tao wanted to give Nikolai some face. He nodded: "Nicholas, my friend, I hope you can uphold justice for us. The Diamond Design Bureau and Pioneer Factory have deceived us twice and want to You have to pass it off as a good one, as you know, I am a very generous person and willing to make friends, but..."
