Warship of Great Power

Chapter 214: Lao Maozi’s four Toshiba machine tools

Chapter 214 Lao Maozi’s four Toshiba machine tools are redundant

What?

 Hongqi-16?

Qin Tao felt a little funny.

 In later generations, there was a great debate as to whether the Hongqi-16 was an imitation of Schkili.

 Those who oppose it are arrogant, but our own technical strength is strong! We don’t have to copy other people’s products! You can also tell from the time when the project was established that Hongqi-16 has nothing to do with Shijili! Why do we always doubt our own technical strength and have to find a foreign father for any self-developed product?

Those who agree with it also have a set of theories, so why should we deceive ourselves and others so much? Apart from anything else, just look at the appearance of the missile. Are they all four side fins in the middle and four trapezoidal tail fins at the rear? Of course, because our electronic technology is higher than that of Lao Maozi, so our electronic equipment is updated, and it is just better than the old.

The opinions and views of later generations are those of later generations. Now, the Hongqi-16 is a perfect imitation of Schkili. In the early 1990s, the only mature version of the Navy was the Haihongqi-7, which was a short-range missile with a range of about ten kilometers. Point defense system, now, the second medium-range air defense missile Hongqi-16, is finally going to succeed!

Qin Tao thought of something and continued: "Currently, our relevant domestic units are working on Lao Maozi's runner-type vertical launch system. Therefore, our imitation should have a slightly higher starting point and use that runner. The vertical launch system is transplanted, so that it can also have a full range of interception capabilities."

Wu Shengli nodded: "Yes, our starting point is higher!"

The original Shikili was still a single-arm launcher, which was unable to cope with saturation attacks. The vertical launch system was more advanced. In fact, for the Hongqi-65 project model, the Navy proposed a vertical launch system. However, based on the domestic technical level at the time, it was simply unreachable.

But it's different now. Now that we have the sample of Lao Maozi's hanging hair, we can fiddle with a qualified vertical emission system. Of course, don't even think about the square grid-shaped thermal emission system. Let's first reduce the volume consumption. It is not easy to develop the cold launch system.

  The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the work must be done bit by bit.

As he spoke, he walked to the door of the building. At this time, two children were jumping downstairs to take the school bus to school. When they saw Qin Tao, Niuniu and Lili immediately rushed towards him.

“Uncle Qin, Uncle Qin, where have you been during this time? We miss you so much!”

 A child was holding one of Qin Tao's thighs and refused to leave.

"Niuniu, Lili, it's time for us to go to school." Zhou Yongfei said quickly: "You take the school bus to school, and dad has to go to work quickly."

"The school bus hasn't come yet. By the way, my mother said that when you guys go out and come back, Aunt Zhao will have a baby in her belly, right?"

Zhao Ling looked embarrassed. Sister Cong Ju spoke too directly. Didn't she teach the child bad things? How embarrassing!

 “If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll beat your ass!”

Zhou Yongfei is also embarrassed. Can you say this nonsense?

"I'm sorry, boss, Mr. Qin." Zhou Yongfei apologized quickly.

"Well, it doesn't matter, it's not a big deal." Qin Tao said: "Niuniu, Lili, just wait, Aunt Zhao will give you a baby to take."

 “Okay, okay.” The two children cheered.

Zhao Ling's face turned even redder. Fortunately, at this time, the school bus had already arrived. Zhou Yongfei quickly took the two children to catch the school bus.

Two children look back every time they take a step, making one reluctant to leave.

“Xiao Ling, there is nothing to be ashamed of.” Qin Tao said, “You have to give birth to a large group of children for me. This is your task.”

"Fuck you, have you forgotten the country's mission? Do you want to be a superborn guerrilla?" Zhao Ling rolled her eyes at Qin Tao and went upstairs.

Although Qin Tao and Zhao Ling did not get married here, the house was still decorated for the two of them according to their wedding room. Looking at the spacious and bright room, Wu Shengli was very satisfied.

“Dad, please rest here.” Qin Tao pointed to the master bedroom and said.

Wu Shengli shook his head repeatedly: "Don't let me ruin your wedding room. I'm not a young boy. I can just sleep here."

Wu Shengli lay down on the second bed, and soon he was snoring like thunder.

Qin Tao and Zhao Ling were also tired, so they entered the bridal chamber and went to bed. They did nothing and just fell asleep.

When he woke up, it was already sunset. He woke up because his stomach was growling with hunger. Qin Tao got out of bed, opened the door, and was stunned.

Hmm, why are there so many people sitting outside?

Zhao Changshui, Cong Ju, Yang Dawei and others are all here, and even the leaders from other factories are here. Is this good?

  I closed the door myself! Either Dad drove it, or Cong Ju drove it, because Cong Ju also had the key to her own house. Fortunately, she only slept and did nothing else. If these guys like to listen to the wall, they would be embarrassed.

“Mr. Qin, are you awake?”

“Yes, Mr. Qin, everyone misses me very much!”

Qin Tao glanced at everyone: "So anxious? Fortunately, you didn't bring me anything. If anyone dares to bring me anything, I will throw it out in front of everyone."

This system must be fixed to prevent someone from getting married and holding a happy event in the future, and then giving a lot of gifts. This is easy to breed corruption. Even Qin Tao is not interested in this. Who else dares to accept gifts?

“Mr. Qin, we are here to report on our work. You came back last night, but you never showed up. We are all very anxious.”

  “What are you anxious about? Is it imminent?”

“Tomorrow, our natural gas ship will conduct a pre-cooling experiment for the first time.”

"Pre-cooling experiment?" Qin Tao said: "This is the most important operation, there can be no accidents!"

The most important step before the delivery of a natural gas ship is to conduct a pre-cooling experiment. After all, this kind of tank is supposed to contain liquid natural gas at more than 100 degrees below zero. During the construction process, the temperature is normal, and the first cooling is very important. It can be said that if the construction technology is not enough, the first pre-cooling may fail, causing the ship to be reworked, or even the ship owner to abandon the ship.

Since Qin Tao is back, Qin Tao must participate in this kind of experiment.

"Tomorrow, the thousand-ton gantry crane will cross the ocean and arrive at our port." Kong Laoer, the group's head of infrastructure construction, said: "This gantry crane will be installed in the predetermined area of ​​the shipyard. Mr. Qin, you have to check it in advance." Let’s see if the location we choose for the shipyard is suitable.”

  Kong Laoer has been busy when building the family home, and later he simply became the person in charge of the specialized infrastructure project. He took on certain duties from the transportation company, but was mainly responsible for infrastructure construction.

"Tomorrow, the Jianghai Ship will also have a launching ceremony. Many leaders will come. Mr. Qin, would you like to participate too?" Zhao Changshui asked tentatively.

Qin Tao discovered that these people, except for the gantry crane, were all deliberately waiting for him to come back!

 You think I am Nezha, with three heads and six arms. How can I handle so many things on my own?

“Mr. Qin, do we want to have a unified ceremony tomorrow, for you to participate in person, and then after the ceremony is completed, you can go about your own business?”

Qin Tao's face looked a little ugly: "A unification ceremony? If you say it without being laughed at, let's do it separately tomorrow!"

 This is so special, isn’t it to turn yourself into a top? Fortunately, nothing happened to the aircraft carrier. It is still early for the aircraft carrier to be launched.

Just when he thought of this, Qin Tao's eldest brother made a loud noise.

He was traveling for his honeymoon, not just to show off, so Qin Tao didn't bring his big brother with him and kept it at home. Now, when he heard the phone ringing, he could only answer it, and then, something came from inside Rakul's anxious voice.

"Qin, my friend, the situation in the Soviet Union is very special. Will there be any problems with our vertical take-off and landing fighter jets?" Lakour called every day, and the answer he got was that Qin Tao was out, but he was anxious. Broken, during the day, they had actually made several calls, but Qin Tao and the others were sleeping so soundly that they never heard. It was only now that Rakul finally got through the phone and asked immediately. The most pressing question.

"Rakul, my friend, please rest assured that we will pay close attention to this matter." Qin Tao said: "Please don't worry, no matter what happens, these Soviet military-industrial enterprises will continue to develop. , Even in the future, when the Cold War confrontation is over, it will be easier for you to purchase aircraft from the Yakovlev Design Bureau, and there will be no political problems."

The other party must be very anxious. Seeing that the Soviet Union is about to collapse, what will happen to the plane? An aircraft carrier without planes is like a tiger without teeth!

However, after Qin Tao fooled him like this, the other party slowly relaxed. Yes, that's it. If the Soviet Union really disappeared with a bang and there was no more confrontation, it would be good news for them.

“Besides, even if the worst happens, our navy will not give up because we also need vertical take-off and landing fighters, so don’t worry.”

After cheating Rakul, Qin Tao hung up the phone and looked at everyone's expressions, knowing that they still had something to say.

“Mr. Qin, we have encountered some problems with our yacht design.” Yang Dawei said.

"You solve the problem yourself." Qin Tao said: "Don't bother me with these nonsense. Whoever solves the problem, I will reward him five thousand yuan."

"okay."

 Qin Tao has a big head.

When I woke up, I had to get busy. I went to check the river beach all night and choose the location for building the dock. This was a century-old plan and there couldn't be any mistakes. Then I went to the slipway to see the progress of the aircraft carrier under construction. Anyway, the money was We will not retreat. Since Siam has placed an order, we must continue to build it and we must have the spirit of contract.

 As for what happened with Lao Maozi, it was an accident and a force majeure factor. The terms in the contract were clear.

After these inspections were completed, Qin Tao came to the design office and happened to meet Wu Shengli and others. These naval officers gathered here for some secret information obtained here.

Zhao Ling stood there, explaining to everyone a large-scale drawing.

"This is the detailed design of the German 209 submarine. It should be correct. We have already gone up to visit and inspect it." Zhao Ling introduced: "From front to back, it is divided into four compartments..."

She has no head and six arms, and Zhao Ling is also incapable of multitasking. She wants to develop anti-aircraft missiles, and she is also deeply involved in submarines. In fact, she also knows that her most suitable position should be as the CEO of Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group. Secretary, it's her wife's responsibility.

 At present, the domestic navy only has two conventional submarines, the old Type 033 submarine and the 035 modified from this submarine. Although they are constantly improving, the performance gap between them and the world's first-class submarines is quite large.

 This type of 209 submarine is one of the world's most advanced diesel-electric submarines. They can gain a lot of knowledge by studying the design of this submarine.

"Overall, the technology of this submarine is very advanced, especially the shock absorption technology, which is worth learning. However, we do not have the supporting systems for many related systems, so we are not yet equipped to directly produce this kind of submarine. Ability." After Zhao Ling finished the introduction, Wu Shengli said.

 The navy needs advanced diesel-electric submarines, but the current designs are difficult to apply immediately.

“Yes, if it is produced in our Mingzhou Shipyard, we lack a large plate bending machine and cannot roll and weld such a large-diameter pressure hull.” Yang Dawei said.

The design of a yacht is a trivial matter. This kind of naval project is a big deal. In his previous work experience, Yang Dawei also participated in the development of the 035 submarine and knows how difficult it is to produce this kind of submarine.

Mingzhou Shipyard does not yet have this capability, and according to Qin Tao's style, he will never hand over these design drawings to other design offices. He has worked hard to get these.

"Yeah, of course it's not appropriate now. After all, we only have some experience from the West, and we don't have Lao Maozi's experience yet. We have to learn from others' strengths and get back the design drawings of the 877 submarine (Kilo class) in the future. We will synthesize it and take the Only with its essence can we develop submarines that are suitable for use by our navy. By then, we will also be able to obtain large-scale plate bending machines."

 Even if it is possible to purchase a large plate bending machine from Western Europe, the price is still quite expensive. The most suitable way is of course to purchase it from Lao Maozi's shipyard.

Qin Tao doesn’t believe it. Lao Maozi has underwater submarine power second only to the United States. How can he not have a large plate bending machine?

 Furthermore, in the future, Lao Maozi's nuclear submarine shipyard will have very few orders, and this thing cannot be exported. Therefore, Lao Maozi's nuclear submarine factory will have a hard time, and it should sell some equipment.

etc!

Qin Tao had another idea. Can he get a multi-axis CNC milling machine for propeller processing?

Thinking of this, Qin Tao felt waves of excitement.

Although Qin Tao used domestic CNC machine tools when processing the waterjet thrusters, those tools were only used for experiments and were not complete industrial products at all, so they often broke. The R&D team was almost always stationed there, on-site. Repairs, work takes much longer than downtime.

 Fortunately, the Navy does not have many orders, and the pace of launching 022 missile boats is slow, so it does not matter if the output of waterjet propellers is lower. After all, it is cheap, and it will mature slowly after running in.

(Some people have questioned the five-axis linkage CNC machine tools produced by our country before. The hero of East China can guarantee that the information obtained by the industrial Wen Qi Cheng is definitely not an exaggeration. Our country started doing it in the 1980s, but, with It took more than twenty years for him to mature slowly.)

 At that time, domestically produced products were used because the order quantity was small and the workpieces to be processed were small in size. If you wanted to process submarine propellers, you would need something larger!

 It is definitely not available in China, you can only buy it from abroad.

At present, domestic warships and submarines still use conventional three-blade propellers. The more advanced ones only use five-blade propellers. However, they are all in the shape of large electric fan blades. In the Western world, they have At the beginning, advanced seven-blade large side-inclined propellers were used, which can effectively reduce the noise of submarines. Even more advanced ones have begun to consider using pump-jet propellers.

Qin Tao and the others don't care if they build civilian ships. They can purchase them directly from relevant units or from abroad. However, in order to build the seven-bladed large canted propeller used in advanced submarines, they currently need to import high-precision multi-axis CNC milling machines from abroad. Just fine.

This big thing is too expensive, and you may not be able to buy it. In comparison, it is better to buy rags from Lao Maozi.

Those rags are only a few years old and are still brand new. Moreover, they have four of them and they are not used at all.

In 1985, a Toshiba employee who was dissatisfied with being fired revealed that Toshiba had exported high-precision machine tools to the Soviet Union, shocking the world. Two years later, the truth came to light, and Toshiba was forced to apologize, which became a big news that year.

 As for the four machine tools, of course they are still in Lao Maozi's country.

Qin Tao felt very excited when he thought about this. Now is the perfect opportunity. Not only the machines and equipment, but also the technician from the Norwegian countryside who was abducted by the KGB can also come together. There is no need for any honey traps. The KGB cannot pay wages now. I guess that Yanzi who married a Norwegian has long been unable to bear the loneliness. Hongxing cheated and deceived her, right?

"That's right, not only the plate bending machine, but also the multi-axis CNC milling machine for making propellers. We also need to get one." Qin Tao continued: "In the future, we can also process advanced propellers for warships. ."

“Multi-axis CNC milling machine?” After hearing what Qin Tao said, an accompanying naval officer said: “It would be great if we had this thing. We don’t have to be hung up by foreigners and can produce it ourselves.”

The propeller of 052?

Qin Tao thought of his last experience in Europe and was very emotional: "Yes, we have to conquer all kinds of propeller technologies, and we have to be able to produce the variable pitch propellers used on warships ourselves."

The propeller is the source of power for the ship to move forward. The propeller blades are all tilted. Specifically, there is an angle between the center line of the propeller hub and the center line of the blade. The ordinary angle is about ten degrees, and the angle is greater than 25 degrees. Large side-inclined propellers can significantly reduce the generation of cavitation on the blades and control the vibration of the propeller. Therefore, they have been widely used on submarines.

However, it is only used on submarines. The reason is very simple. The propeller plate is too big. It is acceptable to place it behind the **** of the submarine. After all, it is installed in the center of the tail of the submarine. However, it is placed under the **** of a warship. It's not appropriate. If we entered a relatively shallow port, the propeller might be able to reach the bottom of the water. (Inexplicably, I think of an old movie, the two extra-large propellers behind Stephen Chow's hat in The Secret Agent.)

  Warships still use ordinary propellers, and the requirements for silent performance are not that high anyway. However, if you want to obtain good performance, you must use a variable-pitch propeller.

 The two 051Cs that we have finalized must also use this advanced propeller!

However, there is no need to be too anxious. After all, a brand new warship takes a long time to build. Just look at the 112. It is not that easy to integrate. The 051C will also take several years to be delivered to the army. Qin Tao has many operational skills. Space, just pay more attention next time you go to Lao Maozi's place.

 Next time I go, the Red Empire will definitely collapse and the Ermao family will be divided. However, there will be more good opportunities, especially for the prodigal Ermao. If you don’t take advantage of it, I’d be sorry for myself as a time traveler.

“Our next step will be to upgrade the waterjet propulsion plant to produce propellers.” Qin Tao said: “Our two 051Cs will definitely not be delayed.”

It is better to rely on people than to rely on ourselves. Not only shipbuilding, but also related supporting factories, such as steel factories and propeller factories, are already under consideration. As for other engine factories, they do not have that capability for the time being. Waiting for future opportunities.

Miracles one after another have created Qin Tao's godhead. Now, Qin Tao will do whatever he says. No one will doubt it. Since Qin Tao has promised, it will be safe for warships to use variable pitch propellers next. .

After sleeping during the day, he was no longer sleepy at night. Qin Tao had become a night owl with day and night reversed. When the navy personnel left with satisfaction, Qin Tao continued to stay and discussed with everyone about the catamaran passenger ship. After giving them a few ideas, the sky in the east became bright.

Qin Tao yawned: "I have to take a nap. Call me when the ceremony starts."

 The first ceremony is the installation ceremony of the gantry crane, because just after dawn, the special transport ship can already be seen at the entrance to the sea.

This is the Happy Pirate Transport Ship of the Nordic Mammoth Company. It happens to be transporting goods in South America. After the shipment is completed, it is planned to go to the island country to load the goods as an empty ship. Therefore, the freight this time is also very economical, including insurance, it is less than 2 million.

To transport gantry cranes, special cargo ships must be used and placed on the deck in the open air. Even container ships cannot load and unload all kinds of over-long cargo. Moreover, the current ship has its own crane, so it can unload the goods by itself. Come down.

 The sound of crackling firecrackers woke Qin Tao up. When he woke up, the ship had already docked. He rubbed his eyes. It was so hard to get over this **** jet lag.
