Chapter 287 Do you want the M-7C802 catamaran missile boat?

“Taozi, we still have some problems with this project.”

"explain."

 “Well, let’s go to my office.”

"so troublesome."

Seeing Qin Tao talking to Wu Shengli like this, everyone around him sighed with emotion. The relationship between this son-in-law and his father-in-law is really extraordinary!

“Taozi, you are in charge of going out this time. After all, you are the one who designed the missile boat and produced it at your place. This business is also negotiated by you. However, this brother clearly settles the score..."

"Settling accounts? By the way, dad, when I proposed it, I planned to invest the money earned in the research and development of the J-31." Qin Tao said: "The Navy has made money, so it won't embezzle it, right? ?”

The navy is poor and lacks money no matter what it does. Therefore, Qin Tao is very doubtful that when the money is available, how much will be devoted to the vertical take-off and landing fighter project.

Wu Shengli looked embarrassed.

“This, of course, is mainly focused on the research and development of the J-31…”

“Then we will transfer the money directly to the account of the Jian-31 Project Project, and it will be used exclusively for this purpose.”

"No, there are no such rules, Tao Zi, don't make mistakes." Wu Shengli's face became serious: "There are no rules, there is no rule. Even if you earn the money, it's not your turn to ask how to spend it. You Don’t think that with me as your father-in-law, you can do whatever you want.”

“Then… I’m still very busy at the shipyard, so I’ll leave this arduous task to others?”

“You!” Wu Shengli glanced at his son-in-law with dissatisfaction: “We can guarantee that at least half of the funds will be spent on the J-31 project.”

“Half? Is this the ratio you said?”

“That’s right, if you can earn 100 million for half of the funding, you can share 50 million.”

 “What if it’s one billion?”

"That's impossible."

“I also think it’s a bit difficult, but I should be able to earn 500 million.”

"Five hundred million? Okay, as long as this project earns us five hundred million, the remaining profits will go to your Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group!" Share the spoils, no, the issue of profit distribution has been settled in this way.

 Qin Tao came out of Wu Shengli's office with a smile and looked at Zhao Ling who was waiting outside: "Xiao Ling, it's your turn to play next. Are you nervous?"

“Why am I nervous? I have seen those uncles and uncles since I was a child.” Zhao Ling said.

I don’t know whether it was to train Zhao Ling or whether Mr. Zhang was really unavailable. In short, only Zhao Ling came back to report to everyone.

 Zhao Ling is not nervous.

 In the conference room, under the light of the projector, Zhao Ling's report began.

"At present, all the imitation work has been completed. Among them, the top three-coordinate scanning radar and the target illumination radar are provided by brother units. We have already manufactured all other electronic equipment, missiles and launchers. Next, we The Navy is required to provide a frigate to complete modifications and experiments.”

Zhao Ling spoke eloquently and gracefully, and she really didn’t feel nervous at all.

"Currently, we plan to make some improvements, such as changing its traditional semi-active radar continuous wave irradiation to intermittent irradiation. This will reduce the number of irradiating radars and have more target attack capabilities. If progress is made, If everything goes well, this system can be applied when the ship is installed."

Changes still need to be made. After all, what was said at the beginning was to not delay the progress of the imitation, so it will be carried out as it is. Now, the imitation has ended, and the improvement work will be carried out in an orderly manner!

Semi-active missiles need to continuously receive radar waves reflected by the target in order to continue flying until they hit the target. In this way, before the target is shot down, the target illuminates the radar and cannot move. The actual interception fire channel is completely determined by the target illumination. If the number of radars is changed to intermittent irradiation, then the same target irradiation radar can take care of more than two targets.

 This method can increase the number of intercepted targets and give warships more resistance to saturation attacks. Therefore, it is the focus of their next phase of improvement.

 Qin Tao sat aside and attended the meeting, sighing in his heart that his wife is also such a coquettish woman! Maybe he can grow into an anti-aircraft missile master in the future.

 After the report is completed, everyone discusses it, and a resolution is formed, the meeting is considered completed.

 One of the leaders presiding over the meeting glanced at Qin Tao, and then said, "I wonder if Mr. Qin has anything to add?"

"I won't interrupt." Qin Tao said: "It's just that we have completed all the design work of the air defense frigate. If there are no problems with the sea test launch of the Hongqi-16 missile, then we look forward to the Navy starting bidding as soon as possible. ”

The development of an anti-aircraft missile has to go through a lot of difficulties and obstacles. Just look at the experience of the Hongqi-61. After it was developed, it was tested on warships for many years. However, the Hongqi-16 is completely Keely's imitations have already withstood various tests, so there won't be any big problems with the imitations.

Since the test launches have begun, of course the Navy should place an order.

“Yes, once Mr. Qin succeeds this time and brings back enough funds, our navy’s new air defense frigates can be tendered.”

Wu Shengli's words reminded Qin Tao that although only half of the funds are spent on the vertical take-off and landing fighter project, the Navy will not spend money randomly. Your Mingzhou Shipyard still has a share of the other half of the money!

Qin Tao smiled. If he brought back enough money, could he also buy back the two modern-class ships? The price has been negotiated, but the superior doesn’t approve it! Not that much money. .

Just when Qin Tao wanted to mention this project, someone below said with emotion: "With the release of this new type of air defense frigate, our navy's air defense problem will be greatly alleviated. Whether it is Sea Sidewinder or Hongqi 61, the performance This kind of missile is far behind. In the past, we also considered putting the Hongqi-2 missile on the ship, but now the Hongqi-2 missile has been retired."

　　Things have changed and people have changed, which makes people sigh.

“By the way, I heard that the Second Academy has transformed the Hongqi-2 missile into a surface-to-surface missile. It’s really creative.”

"Has it been transformed?" Qin Tao was excited for a while. When he was chatting with Mr. Wu, he had proposed this kind of suggestion, but he didn't expect it to come out so quickly. (The protagonist seems to be obsessed with himself. It seems like this project started in 1986?)

 “Yeah, it’s out.”

“Then this arms sale cannot be without them. Everyone, can you invite them over and discuss it together?”

 That afternoon.

Mr. Wu and Mr. Shen walked in together. When he saw Qin Tao, Mr. Wu smiled: "Mr. Qin, we have made the M-7 missile. The person in charge of the project is Lao Shen. I remember you said that if you tinker with it, you will be responsible for selling it."

"That's right." Qin Tao said without the slightest excuse: "I came to you to discuss selling this missile. You must prepare a missile system and we will take it with you to demonstrate to customers."

 Prepare a missile system?

Wu Shengli was stunned at the side: "Taozi, do you want to bring something with you?"

"Yes." Qin Tao smiled: "How can the customer place an order without showing it to the customer? Our navy needs help to dispatch an IL-76 transport aircraft. Start from our side, fly west, and pass If you circle around Lao Ba’s airspace, you can reach Parthia.”

Qin Tao is really rude to use things from the Navy. However, if it weren’t for Qin Tao’s help, the Navy would not have been able to obtain the IL-76 and IL-78. Now, although the number of these aircraft is small, they are absolutely It is the main force of the navy!

 A naval aviation base.

The huge IL-76 transport aircraft stood majestically on the tarmac. Its huge body and tall vertical tail looked so spectacular. At this time, the tail hatch had been opened and flipped to the ground, forming a shape with the ground. A stable slope.

An M-7 missile launch preparation vehicle drove up first. There were special devices on the floor of the cargo bay to secure the vehicle properly. Then, it was time to launch the missile vehicle.

At this time, everyone was a little nervous. In terms of weight, this 6*6 military off-road truck, including the equipment on it, is less than ten tons. It can fit four of them properly. However, this is still It depends on the volume inside. The IL-76's cargo compartment is only a little over thirty meters long. Can all vehicles be loaded?

“First put the radar and fire control vehicle of the C-802 missile in.” Qin Tao said.

If you really can’t fit it into the launch vehicle in the end, just hoist the launch tube from the launch vehicle directly into it.

Amid the roar of the engine, the second vehicle got up, and the space left behind was indeed not enough for the remaining two launch vehicles.

“Does our Hongqi-2 missile have a launch trailer?” Qin Tao asked.

 Mr. Liang nodded: "It seems that we can only get on the trailer. These launchers are all universal, so let's sacrifice them."

The trailer occupies a much smaller area. After the trailer went up, the last C802 shore-to-ship missile launch vehicle also drove up, and various suitcases were also moved up. The cargo hold was full.

"It seems pretty good." Qin Tao nodded with satisfaction: "Next, let's go up."

 There are flip-up seats on both sides of the cargo bay, just like the seats in movie theaters in the 1960s. It's certainly uncomfortable when traveling long distances, but it's much better than sitting on the floor.

Qin Tao looked at the other people around him: "After you get up, be sure to fasten your seat belt. It is said that once, when this kind of aircraft was flying in the sky, the tail hatch automatically opened, and more than a hundred people inside were all trapped. They were sucked outside, but luckily those guys were paratroopers and all had parachute bags.”

After going up to the sky, the air outside is thin and the cabin is pressurized. Therefore, the pressure inside is higher than the pressure outside. You can also see those movies about air crashes. When the glass breaks, people are sucked out directly.

 Hearing what Qin Tao said, the technicians accompanying him went to look for seat belts.

"By the way, do you want to be convenient? It's better to go down there in advance. If anyone has physiological needs in mid-air, he has to hold them in. If he makes the warehouse smelly, I will kick him down."

 Everyone laughed.

Wu Shengli and other leaders walked into the cabin.

"Thank you for your hard work. This mission is very important. I look forward to your good news!"

“It’s pretty good to have a special flight.”

“With Mr. Qin taking us, there will be no problem.”

“By the way, where is Mr. Qin sitting?”

 Everyone wants to find a good seat for Qin Tao.

“Me? It’s too stuffy in the cabin. I’m going to find a place to sit with a window.”

 A place with windows? Everyone was a little curious: "Mr. Qin, can you fly a plane?"

 In the entire aircraft, the cockpit is the one with windows! However, everyone in the cockpit has a mission. If Qin Tao wants to go, he must be a crew member.

Qin Tao smiled: "Of course not. I won't go to the cockpit either. It's too crowded there. I'll go to the back."

Different from other transport aircraft, the IL-76 transport aircraft has a crew cabin under the tall vertical tail, and under its feet are two twin 23mm cannons!

 In modern warfare, the role of aircraft guns is minimal. After all, if there are no fighter jets chasing after them and attacking with aircraft guns, the coming missiles must be missiles, and it is impossible for aircraft guns to intercept the missiles.

Therefore, in the later Il-76, the tail gunner was eliminated during the improvement, and a specialized guard defense system was installed. However, for the modified IL-78 aerial tanker, this position is the best position for aerial refueling observers. They can observe the aerial refueling situation here and even conduct command when necessary.

 The cabin is too stuffy, so the seat at the back is better!

Since it is performing ordinary transportation tasks, there is no need for the tail gunner to exist at all. Qin Tao is sitting here with windows on three sides and a wide view. He is very satisfied.

The Ilyushin-76 transport plane took off and flew a normal civil air route. It first reached the plateau and then reached the airspace of Laoba. From the northwest corner of Laoba, it entered the airspace of Parthia.

When they crossed the final border, two Parthian Tomcat fighter jets flew over to greet them.

 In the small tail gunner's cabin, Qin Tao watched with great interest. The Tomcat fighter jet was once the overlord of the sky!

The exterior design of the fuselage is smooth. The wide fuselage, the wing box like a slat, and the two engines separated by a full meter, all reveal the dashing and heroic appearance of the Tomcat fighter, especially when it is head-on. After flying up, it turned around in the air. The wings turned forward from the maximum sweep angle, just like a Transformer, which was pleasing to the eye.

Qin Tao is familiar with this fighter plane from the movie "Top Gun". Although he cannot escape the cliché love, the flying scenes in it are definitely worth talking about.

  In the world, apart from the U.S. Navy, only the Parthian Air Force was equipped with this fighter. Even in later generations, all the Tomcat fighters of the U.S. Navy were eliminated, and the Parthian State still maintained the operation of its Tomcat fighter fleet.

 Due to the lack of enough parts, the scale of the once seventy or eighty aircraft has been reduced to a state where a dozen can fly, but they are still persisting.

 Tomcats don’t die, they just slowly wither away!

The precious Tomcat fighter jets will waste their lifespan and vulnerable parts every time they fly. They actually dispatched two Tomcats for their own transport aircraft, which shows that they also attach great importance to their own side!

The plane landed at an aviation base near Bandar Abbas Port. By this time, it was already dark.

The Il-76, with its navigation lights on, slid steadily into a hangar. After the plane came to a stop, the cargo door slowly opened, and in front of Qin Tao, a large number of Parthian soldiers appeared.

"Dear guests, you are welcome to come from afar. My name is Qasim, and I will be responsible for receiving you with full authority."

Looking at the hand stretched out by the bearded man in front of him, Qin Tao showed a bright smile: "It's a great honor, Mr. Kasim, you can call me Qin. I am the person in charge of the Chinese side of the entire transaction."

Liu Shenggen stood next to Qin Tao, mumbling something. When the two sides were introduced one by one, a Parthian man looked at Liu Shenggen in surprise.

“Liu, are you Liu? Do you remember me? You once taught us how to operate the Silkworm anti-ship missile. I am Salami!”

Liu Shenggen looked at Salami, who had grown a full beard, and really didn't recognize him. He hadn't seen him for a few years, and he had turned into a middle-aged uncle.

Salami was very happy. Back then, as the commander of the shore-to-ship missile force in the army, he received anti-ship missiles from the East. He once showed great success in the ship attack battle in Xi'an Bay. Unexpectedly, he would meet again now!

“Salami, I’m glad to see you.” Liu Shenggen was also very excited.

 Old friends, when we meet again, of course we need a warm hug.

  Qin Tao was also very happy. Now that he has an acquaintance, it would be easier to handle! In this case, let’s start with the introduction of anti-ship missiles!

"In the past, the anti-ship missiles you used were large in size, short range, and required tedious preparations before launch. Now, we have brought a brand-new anti-ship missile. Its performance is even better than the French Exocet missile. advanced!"

 “Is it the Chinese Flying Fish?”

 They, of course, have also heard of the reputation of China’s Flying Fish. After all, this anti-ship missile was publicly displayed during the 1984 military parade.

"Yes, it is a modified version. Its range is a full 120 kilometers."

 When Qin Tao said this number, everyone present was stunned.

 One hundred and twenty kilometers? Isn’t this too outrageous?

There are a large number of oil exporting countries along the coast of the Gulf of Rest, so it has the busiest shipping lanes in the world. The entire strait is about 1040 kilometers long and between 180 and 320 kilometers wide.

If you look at this data, anti-ship missiles with a range of 120 kilometers seem to have little effect. However, at the exit of the Bay of Rest, there is the Strait of Hormuz, known as the throat!

The strait is about 150 kilometers long from east to west. The widest point of the water surface is 97 kilometers, and the narrowest point is only 38.9 kilometers. The average water depth is 70 meters, the shallowest point is 10.5 meters, and the deepest point is 219 meters. There are many islands, reefs and shoals in the strait.

  What does a range of one hundred and twenty kilometers mean?

They don't need to set up anti-ship missiles on islands such as Qeshm Island, Hormuz Island, etc. They can just find a place on the coastline of their mainland and set up anti-ship missiles to blockade the entire country. Strait!

This kind of missile is definitely a sharp weapon!

During Qin Tao's introduction, the equipment in the belly of the transport plane began to slowly come out. The first one was the C802 anti-ship missile launcher that was finally stuffed in!

This is a 6*6 off-road truck. The back of the truck carries four launch boxes with a square cross-section. When it drove out, all the people in Parthia looked over.

“We have brought the equipment here this time. You can see the actual strike effect of the missile. Of course, you need to prepare a target ship, and it must be found when there is no cargo ship.”

This is a busy shipping route. If an accident occurs during the test launch and the missile plunges into the belly of the tanker, it will be a big trouble.

It’s not like this kind of thing has never happened before. In later generations, the shore-to-ship missile force of the Parthian Kingdom once fired missiles into the belly of its own naval warship. It achieved brilliant results and the warship was sunk!

"This is simple. As long as we announce to the outside world that several floating mines have been found in the Strait of Hormuz area, those tankers will not dare to come." Qasim said casually.

 It’s really tough enough!

"Unfortunately, the range is only one hundred and twenty kilometers. It would be better if it was three to four hundred kilometers." Salami spoke from the side.

 One hundred and twenty kilometers can only block the Strait of Hormuz. If it is three to four hundred kilometers, it can completely block the entire Bay of Rest.

“Missiles do not have such a long range yet, but we can provide missile carriers. Have you heard of our navy’s catamaran missile boats?”

Kasim and others' breathing became rapid: "What kind of missile boat are you going to sell to us? It is said that it can reach a speed of fifty knots?"

“If we have this kind of missile boat, we can control the entire Bay of Rest!”

 “Long live the East!”

“Ahem, we also have a ballistic missile, which you may also be interested in.”

 What, ballistic missiles?

Parthia has ballistic missiles. During the eight years of war, they launched countless Scud missiles. They are even developing their own ballistic missile industry to make their missiles more powerful and hit farther. If It would be even better if we could fight in the Kingdom of David.

 Eastern has very good ballistic missiles. Are they planning to sell big weapons? They have sold it to the happy desert country opposite, so they can probably sell it to themselves, right?

 “How many thousand kilometers is the range?” Qasim asked.

 Thousands of kilometers?

No wonder these guys are so excited, are they thinking wrong?

Qin Tao shook his head: "Although we did not sign the treaty, in order to avoid international disputes, we still have to abide by relevant international regulations. We cannot export missiles with a range of more than 300 kilometers."

 Not yet at the level of Scud missiles?

 Everyone looked disappointed.

"Although the range does not meet your requirements, our missile has very high accuracy, with a maximum error of no more than one hundred meters. During the actual launch process, the error can even be within twenty meters, which is easily one or two times better than the Scud. The error in kilometers is much better.”
