Chapter 286: Amphibious assault ships are needed in the future

 Mr. Lin smiled and did not feel dissatisfied with Qin Tao's words. In his eyes, Qin Tao was already like a little friend of his. There were too few people who could talk to him in this tone.

“The future era is really the era of stealth machines?”

"Yes, so our 611 Institute must work hard. The project at hand is just the first step in the long march. When this project is completed, we will also need to develop a dual-engine heavy-duty stealth fighter. This will definitely be The Air Force is in urgent need of it. Mr. Lin, am I right?"

 Qin Tao began to ask Mr. Lin for his opinion again.

“In our Air Force, many people think the Su-27 is good.”

"The Su-27 is just Lao Maozi's third-generation aircraft. According to the rules of military aircraft research and development, both Lao Maozi and the Americans have already begun pre-research on the next generation of fighters. The Americans started earlier. Maybe their four-generation fighter jets will For the first-generation stealth fighter, prototypes are almost ready to be built.”

"In the sky of the future, other people's stealth fighter jets can pounce on us silently and catch us off guard. If we don't have a stealth fighter, how can we fight with them? Therefore, we must have a stealth fighter jet, and it must have twin engines. Heavy duty, our 611th Institute has a heavy responsibility. Although the Su-27 is liked by many big guys in the Air Force now, in the future, the Air Force will have to embrace our 611th Institute."

These words amused everyone, and Qin Tao quickly gained their recognition by saying this.

“Sure enough, Mr. Qin is really capable when it comes to drawing big cakes.” Mr. Lin spoke up.

“The words come first, the things come later, we just have to look at them.”

“Mr. Qin, when we master the Su-27 technology in the future, can we improve a stealth fighter based on that aircraft?”

Seeing Mr. Song speak, Qin Tao smiled: "Mr. Song, you came out of Institute 601 decades ago, and you should be the most familiar with the situation there. Now, they can introduce and produce Su-27. But we need to improve, haha.”

 There are some things that cannot be said clearly.

"Moreover, technically speaking, the Su-27's engine is directly attached to the belly. The air inlet is short and the turbine blades of the engine can be seen directly from the outside. It is a strong source of electromagnetic radiation. It is not easy to change. If it’s a major change, it’s better to develop it from scratch.”

"Mr. Qin, you have unique vision and thorough analysis. You are definitely a good player in the aviation industry. Do you want to come to our place?" Mr. Song extended the invitation again.

I?

  I just say some big words. Qin Tao is very clear about how much he weighs.

  Qin Tao just has the knowledge from his previous life. If he is really asked to do detailed research and development, it means starting from scratch. He will not be much better than an aviation university graduate.

After dinner, everyone set off on the way back. On the flying special plane, Wu Shengli couldn't help but asked Qin Tao: "Can the one aircraft and three types you mentioned be really achieved?"

 Chin Tao never mentioned it before! When he heard those remarks, Wu Shengli was really shocked. Even now, he is still thinking about the future. If this kind of aircraft can really be built, what benefits will it have!

“I don’t know, Dad, to be honest, I don’t know if a vertical take-off and landing aircraft can be built. After all, there are too many variables.”

Qin Tao's words were indeed true. Mr. Lin on the side nodded frequently: "You kid, you are telling the truth now."

"But if it can be done, it will be of great significance to our navy." Qin Tao ignored Mr. Lin who interrupted and continued to draw the pie.

"In the future, our navy will have an aircraft carrier. On the aircraft carrier, it will definitely be able to operate Su-27 modified carrier-based aircraft. After all, that kind of aircraft is still our best choice at present. However, the navy also needs to have amphibious assault Ship, by the way, the island country has approved the design plan of the Osumi-class amphibious assault ship. It is useless for us to just protest. In the future, our navy will also have warships of that level."

The Second World War sent battleships to their graves, and the navy ushered in the era of aircraft carriers. After World War II, although the defeated island countries could not possess offensive weapons, they continued to break through restrictions.

After testing the waters of the "Haruna"-class helicopter destroyers and the "Shirane"-class helicopter destroyers, they finally began planning a new generation of Osumi-class helicopter carriers.

 Different from the previous two, the design of this class is brand new. In the mouths of the islanders, it is called a "new type of transport ship", which means that it belongs to the category of amphibious transport ship.

However, look at its design drawing: the right side is the island-type superstructure, and the left side is the through-deck. This is clearly an amphibious assault ship, or even a light aircraft carrier! Who are you fooling?

The island country has a bunch of reasons, such as small displacement, small hangar, etc. However, no matter what the reason is, it cannot explain why it is directly connected to the deck. Moreover, there is still space at the bow of the ship. It can be installed at any time in the future. It's a sliding jump deck. You don't have to dismantle it, just weld it on directly.

Although there are many voices of doubt from the outside world, the islanders just did it, and after doing it, looking at the outside reaction, no problem, let’s get started!

Hyuga-class helicopter destroyers and Izumo-class helicopter destroyers have increasingly larger displacements and are equipped with an increasing number of fighters, especially the Izumo-class. After the transformation, the F-35 was actually carried on them.

We can't control what others do, so why should we protest? Tumo Xingzi can't drown anyone, and his strength continues to grow, which is really good.

The combat missions of aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships are different, and the aircraft they need to carry are also different. Although the motherland successively built several 075s in later generations, since there are no vertical take-off and landing fighter jets, they can only use helicopters to make up the number and amphibious assaults. The capabilities are completely incomparable to those of the United States.

 This shortcoming also needs to be made up for.

From now on, it will take ten or twenty years to pave the way for this kind of vertical take-off and landing fighter to mature. Then, the Navy's 076 will not have to add a catapult and can only use drones for combat.

Although drones are smart, they are not as good as manned fighter planes. At least they have to continue to climb the technology tree.

"Taozi, you really can't boast. Once you boast, you will go to heaven. There are so many cakes in the painting, one next to the other." Mr. Lin said.

"No, Mr. Lin, this is our ideal." Qin Tao said: "If life loses its ideals, it is no different from salted fish. If the army loses its ideals, it will be vulnerable. If the country loses its ideals, it will be just like the Red Empire. , with a crash, it collapsed."

 Mr. Lin stopped talking and began to meditate. Wu Shengli also began to meditate. The plane fell into silence.

As for drawing big cakes, Qin Tao is also very good. The two big guys in front of him were fooled by him.

 A few days later, Huating.

"Mr. Qin, your request is a bit too difficult, isn't it? Although the drive shaft used on our ships can transmit such a large horsepower, it does not need such a high speed!" Zhao Changshui first expressed his opinion: " At such a high speed, we should ask aerospace engine experts to study it."

 Qin Tao took over the task of this lift fan and assigned the project to the propeller factory in Huating. However, it was obvious that everyone felt that it was beyond their capabilities.

"Yes, the lighter the better." Zhang Guangrong also frowned: "The equipment on our ship has no weight requirements at all. Titanium alloy is light enough, but I don't know if it is strong enough. This clutch, It’s even more deadly.”

 In short, there are too many problems, and for them, it is simply impossible to complete.

"I'm here to issue tasks, not to listen to everyone's complaints." Qin Tao said: "In short, in our factory, we need to organize specialized forces to tackle key problems. The group can allocate any amount of R&D funds needed. In terms of time, It’s not too early, three years or even five years is fine, but I don’t want to hear anyone shouting about difficulties again.”

Everyone immediately shut up. They knew Qin Tao's work style. If anyone dared to raise any opinions, they would probably be fired on the spot. Now their factory is the most advanced leading company in the country. The wages and benefits are good, and everyone has taken out a loan to buy it. I can't leave my house, and I can't lose my job.

 Qin Tao left after finishing the arrangements. This matter always had to be done by someone. It was also a test for their factory. If it was done successfully, they would enter a new field.

 Qin Tao went to the Titanium Alloy Research Institute again to look at the technological progress, especially the 3D printing technology that he was obsessed with. When he came out, it was completely dark.

The time has entered the twelfth lunar month, and the sound of firecrackers can still be heard in the city. Qin Tao hummed a ditty and came to the Huating Aerospace Technology Research Institute. The guard already knew Qin Tao and let him in directly.

Walking on a familiar road, Qin Tao was still recalling the scene when he came here last year. Before he knew it, a year had passed.

 How should you celebrate the New Year this year?

"Mr. Qin?" A figure hurriedly walked past Qin Tao. When he saw the other brains, he couldn't help shouting.

“Xu Gong, haven’t you gotten off work yet?”

 “Well, I’ll come out and get some parts.”

Looking at the parts in Xu Qiang's hand, Qin Tao was very curious: "What are you doing with this part?"

 “Of course it’s to assemble the prototype.”

 “Have you started assembling it?”

Qin Tao took big steps and walked into the small building with Xu Qiang.

In the past, it was full of tables with drawings on them. Now, those tables and drawings have disappeared, and several pieces of equipment are placed in the open space. They are all in the style of cabinets. At first glance, they look like meticulous imitations. , in order to complete the imitation task as quickly as possible, no changes were made, and it was completely based on the original version, which can speed up the imitation process to the greatest extent.

However, what surprised Qin Tao the most was the cylinder about six meters long placed on the ground. As long as you see that thing, you can know what it is for.

 The parts Xu Qiang brought were what he planned to replace on the launch tube.

"Mr. Qin, are you here?" Zhang Laozheng was squatting at the launch tube to study. At this time, he saw Qin Tao and was very excited.

In a corner, Zhao Ling also raised her head and glanced at Qin Tao, with a smile on her face, and then continued the work at hand.

“Mr. Zhang, we are making rapid progress!” Qin Tao said, “Looking at it like this, the entire system is almost ready. It will be ready for testing on the ship next year, right?”

"Yes, the Navy has assigned us a frigate for us to modify. I heard that Mr. Qin suggested that the Navy build a special test ship. The Navy is considering that our Hongqi 16 can be tested on a frigate. However, the area air defense missiles of the Second Academy definitely require a specialized platform.”

Qin Tao nodded. The five or six meter long missile launcher can be poked wherever it wants. Even if a part of it is exposed, it will be fine. However, it will be inconvenient if it is longer.

"Sea trials will be held next year, so fast! Over there, we have also designed a frigate based on this kind of missile. By next year, or at the latest the year after, our frigate will definitely be able to start construction. By then, we will also have one Put down the dumplings.”

Qin Tao made everyone present laugh when he mentioned the metaphor of dumplings.

"Mr. Qin, are you here to take Xiaoling home? Our work is no longer stressful. If you want to take her back, you can do it at any time. You and your wife have not seen each other very often this year. " Mr. Zhang said.

"No, Mr. Zhang, please don't ask me to do something special." Zhao Ling quickly objected: "It's just the twelfth lunar month. If I leave, it will be too irresponsible for my work."

“Okay, I’ll listen to you. By the way, today’s work is almost done. Let’s pack up and go home!”

Mr. Zhang was considerate and everyone packed up. Zhao Ling finished the work at hand and walked out with Qin Tao. Facing the cold wind outside, she said, "You have been running away this year. You have to take care of me." Look at yourself, you have lost weight."

Qin Tao smiled and said, "The belt is getting wider and I will never regret it."

"Go, don't be poor." Zhao Ling said: "Next year, Hongqi 16 will have its sea trial. I have already signed up and will go with you for the sea trial. Do you have any objections?"

"have."

 “You are not allowed to raise any opinions.”

The two of them talked and laughed and returned home. After a long drought, the rain came, and they were full and warm, thinking about what they were doing.

“Brother Tao, when the sea trial is over and the project is finalized, we can have a baby.” Zhao Ling lay on Qin Tao’s broad chest and said.

 “Well, let’s practice it in advance?”

 “More?”

"right."

“No, if you keep fussing, I’m afraid I won’t be able to go to work tomorrow.”

 “Then ask for leave.”

“Then I will be laughed to death. By the way, Brother Tao, during the Chinese New Year this year, I can take a few days off in advance and go back with you early.” Zhao Ling could only change the subject.

The project is no longer busy, it is mainly testing before ship installation. This year, she can spend a few more days with her husband. In fact, she also wants to be with Qin Tao every day, and even wanted to give up her job for a while. , just become Qin Tao's secretary.

“Okay, if we have enough time, we can also travel to Hainan.”

 Qin Tao is usually busy with work, but when he is free, he is more understanding of the mood of life. In the middle of winter, going to Hainan for vacation is also a trend.

"Isn't that good? Just stay at home. As a daughter-in-law, I don't have time to fulfill my filial piety."

As he spoke, Qin Tao’s eldest brother made a loud noise.

　Who called me in the middle of the night?

Qin Tao complained and pressed the answer button, and then his father-in-law's voice was heard inside: "Taozi, your superiors have approved your plan."

"what's the plan?"

“Plan to export catamaran missile boats equipped with our latest developed C802 missiles.”

 “What? So fast?”

“Yes, diplomatic arrangements have been made for you. We will set off in ten days. Please prepare.”

What? Ten days later? You guys really can’t wait. Don’t you know the Chinese New Year is coming soon?

Qin Tao was very speechless, but who made the plan come up by himself?

“Well, Xiaoling, do you want to go to the capital to report on the research and development progress of Hongqi 16? If there is such an arrangement, let’s go together.” Qin Tao felt that he had become a day trip to Huating.

 Ten days!

"We should report, but it may be a few days late." Zhao Ling apologized.

“Well, that’s just right. I have to call Engineer Yang to improve the missile boat.”

"Improve?"

Zhao Ling is very clear about this missile boat. After all, when she was the military representative stationed in Huating, she wanted to check the construction quality of this missile boat. She felt that this missile boat was already perfect and did not need to be modified. place.

“That’s right, how can we put the C802 missile in without changing it?”

Sure enough, things have developed like this. The C802 missile with a turbojet engine and increased range has become an out-and-out foreign trade missile. It is estimated that the Navy is not very equipped, so it will make do with the Seahawk 8 missile for the time being. Develop supersonic anti-ship missiles and then equip them with troops.

From the appearance point of view, the C802 missile and its big brother C801 look like twins. However, the former has an extra air inlet under the belly because it is a turbojet engine.

However, if you use a ruler to measure it, the length of the C801 missile is 5.814 meters, and the total length of the C802 missile is 6.392 meters. The difference between the two missiles is more than half a meter. Therefore, if no modification is made, the C802 with a range of 120 kilometers Missiles can't be stuffed in at all.

If you want to make changes, then just make major changes. Qin Tao certainly knows how to make the most appropriate improvements. He only needs to assign the task to Gong Yang.

"how about you?"

“I’ll stay here with you these days. Hum, I always make surprise attacks like this. I’m the boss of the group and I’m busy with business. How can I rush there tomorrow?”

A few days later.

"Mr. Qin, I'm so happy to see you." Mr. Liang, who was in charge of anti-ship missiles, said with a smile on his face: "This time, if we can export the entire anti-ship missile production line, it will be a huge breakthrough for us. progress!"

 Superiors have approved that their C802 missiles can be sold, as can their production lines and technology. If they are sold, they will definitely make a lot of money.

“Well, how much do you plan to sell it for?” Qin Tao asked Mr. Liang.

Mr. Liang said coyly: "Would 100 million be too much?"

 One hundred million. If one hundred million were stacked on top of each other, how high would it be? Can it fill the entire room? Even if a warship is exported, it may not be able to sell for 100 million!

If they could sell it for 100 million, they would be happy.

"One hundred million? Mr. Liang, are you too kind? This is the most advanced anti-ship missile in the world. Even I don't have it. It should be sold together with the production line, at least... Well, since one hundred million is yours Bottom line, then, leave this task to us. Don’t be jealous of us no matter how much we sell. The extra money will be put into the navy’s account, how about it?”

 “Okay!” Wu Shengli nodded immediately.

With Qin Tao’s ability, he would believe it if he sold it for 500 million yuan. In this way, the Navy would be able to obtain a large amount of funds. Who let the Navy be the general contractor?

The most important weapon on this missile boat is the anti-ship missile, which is also the most profitable. Qin Tao decided on it in just a few words.

“Well, we don’t worry about how much it sells. By the way, let Liu Shenggen accompany you. He is familiar with all kinds of technical data.”

Liu Shenggen said shyly: "Mr. Qin, I am very happy to work with you."

When the 022 missile boat was just started to be manufactured, Liu Shenggen sent him an anti-ship missile launcher. They met once and talked about the issue of rapid-fire cannons. Now, after meeting for the second time, Liu Shenggen’s beard , has also become denser, more mature and stable.

 “Do you know Arabic?” Qin Tao suddenly asked.

 Liu Shenggen nodded.

 “Why do you still know this language?”

“At the beginning, we sold a batch of Silkworm anti-ship missiles to Parthia. At that time, as a technician, I helped train their ground crews in maintenance.”

(After eight years of fighting, the country that still has a dozen or so Tomcat fighter jets left can be called Parthia.)

Liu Shenggen was also very emotional when talking about the golden age of those years. At that time, being able to speak Arabic was quite popular. After being sent out, he was offered a monthly salary of one thousand US dollars!

“That’s good. This way you can go back to your old job. You can be our translator by the way. The fewer people we have there, the better.”

"Um."

After arranging this problem, Qin Tao opened the drawings he brought: "In the past few days, we have taken the time to modify the drawings, lengthen the hull, and add a helicopter platform behind it."

Looking at this drawing, Wu Shengli couldn't help but sigh: "Taozi, you really thought twice and came up with something new. What is the use of this helicopter platform? There is no hangar, so it cannot be maintained. Moreover, such a small boat The body must be shaking violently."

"You have to look at their combat environment! Why do they need a hangar? This platform is for helicopters to stay occasionally. After completing the mission, they fly back directly. Their range of activities is the strait, not the sea. This modified the design, Our navy doesn’t have to worry about leaks.”

"Okay, if the Navy thinks there is no problem, we will take these things and leave. By the way, someone from Huating is here to report on the development progress of the Red Flag 16. If I am qualified to attend the meeting, I will listen to it. listen."

This arrangement is too fast, right? So far, the key points haven’t been said yet! For example, how to distribute benefits?
