Chapter 288 A Small Goal: Earn One or Two Billion Dollars

  Scud is a tactical ballistic missile mass-produced and used by Lao Maozi, and it is also exported in large quantities. Although the relationship between Parthia and the Red Empire is not good, they also obtained a batch through a third party, and they can imitate it themselves.

  However, the accuracy of the Scud missile is quite cheating.

  Although Lao Maozi claims that the maximum circular error is 300 meters, that is to say, if you draw a circle with the theoretical impact point as the center and 300 meters as the radius, the bullet should fall within this circle.

  However, in actual use, whoever uses it knows.

   The one who got the worst was the opponent who had fought with them for eight years. A few years later, he invaded neighboring countries and provoked the Western world, and was attacked by multinational forces as a result.

They fought back, using Scud missiles, but the hit rate was too low, usually one or two kilometers. If the error could be within the 300 meters claimed by the old man, there would be more tragedies in the Arab Dhahran military camp, saying Maybe the Americans will have to leave in despair.

   As for the Patriots' interception success rate, only God knows.

  Now, the error of the missile in front of me is within a hundred meters, or even tens of meters.

"It cannot achieve long-distance attack, but at the same time, it is small, not easy to be found, and easy to hide. It is also very cheap and can be deployed in large numbers. When it comes to the battlefield, it can attack important targets behind the enemy's positions. Fixed-point clearing." Qin Tao said: "I believe that this weapon will definitely meet your needs."

  Kasim nodded repeatedly.

   "So, starting tomorrow, we will be able to demonstrate our weapon system, which one do you plan to see first?"

   "Just this surface-to-surface missile." Kassim looked at the missile on the trailer, and for some reason, it felt familiar.

  The missile test was held on the morning of the second day. In the early morning of this day, several vehicles set off from the base and headed north.

   There is no possibility of cheating in the missile test here. The launch location and target are all designated on the spot.

The road conditions here are not good. All the cars are all-wheel drive off-road vehicles. Qin Tao and the others are riding on a Bobcat armored reconnaissance vehicle imported from Germany. At this moment, half of his body is exposed from the turret. Looking at the high mountains around, I was very moved: "The mountains and rivers here are as magnificent as those in our country!"

   "That's right, our motherland will not be conquered." After hearing the translated words, Kasim agreed.

In the world, the few anti-American fighters who stand still have their own reasons, and the country of Anxi is no exception. It is either a mountain or a desert. The mission of the US special forces to rescue the hostages is here in the harsh nature. The environment has fallen into the sand, and it has become one of the few shames.

   Now, the convoy drove up a high mountain, and they could already see the Lut Desert behind them from a distance.

   "Stop!" Kasim yelled.

  The whole convoy stopped.

   "Here is our launch point." Kasim said, "In the desert over there, let's find a predetermined impact point."

   "Your Majesty Kasim, it's a bit difficult for you to answer this question!" Qin Tao said, "All the latitude and longitude are unknown, and there is also an altitude factor. The wind is not small today."

  Kasim smiled: "This is the only way to test the real effectiveness of a missile in actual combat. If the error can still be kept within 100 meters in this case, then we will definitely purchase a large number!"

   "Okay, but it's too general to plant a flag in the desert to designate the impact point. We need to send someone to accurately measure the coordinates of the impact point so that the missile can be fired more accurately."

"certainly."

  Kasim agrees, he can't point on the map: here it is! The error is too large. In actual combat, the target of the attack must be accurately located. Now, such harsh test conditions must be accurately located.

   Just don't know, what method will they use for precise positioning?

  Most of the vehicles stopped, only one Lynx armored reconnaissance vehicle, and a Chinese person in charge of positioning passed by. He was holding a large brick-like instrument in his hand, and he didn't know what it was.

   This side is also busy.

The M-7 missile trailer was quickly set up, the wheels were disassembled, and the chassis was securely fixed on the ground. Then, a support vehicle drove up nearby, and several operators wearing gas masks appeared. Refuel with fuming nitric acid and kerosene provided by Parthian.

  Qin Tao and others stood in the distance, watching this scene, pointing and introducing.

"M-7 is a two-stage missile. The first stage is a solid rocket motor, which can be directly loaded with propellant powder. The second stage is liquid fuel. Because we came here by plane, in order to prevent accidents, we did not advance Refueling, in fact, its fuel tank is corrosion-resistant and can store fuel for a period of time, so if you want to fight, you can refuel before departure, drag it to the battlefield, set it up and fight, Hit and run, in addition to this trailer chassis, it also has a self-propelled chassis, which will be faster."

  Kasim nodded: "If we order, all of them must be self-propelled chassis. It would be better if its control equipment and missiles can be concentrated on one vehicle, just like the Scud missile."

   "Of course there is no problem, but the price of this method will be higher."

   "Money is not a problem." Kasim waved his hand.

  For countries with black gold under their feet, they don't care about money at all, especially for the Parthian country, it is not easy to buy weapons if they have money, so they don't care about the price even more.

  A technician, holding the same brick in his hand, was operating in front of the missile.

   "What positioning method are they using?" Kasim knew it was positioning, but felt strange about this method.

   "Satellite positioning receiving terminal." Qin Tao introduced: "This is the most advanced positioning method at present."

  If you want the missile to hit accurately, you have to measure the location of the launch and the location of the target accurately.

  For export-oriented weapon systems, satellite positioning systems have already begun to be used.

   Launch special navigation satellites into space, these satellites are equipped with the most sophisticated atomic clocks, which continuously provide time signals, and the terminals on the ground receive this signal and then compare it.

   Compare to what?

   Of course it is the difference in time.

  It takes a certain amount of time for the signal to reach the ground. The receiving terminal receives the signal, and then calculates the distance between itself and the satellite based on the stored satellite orbit information.

If the time signals of three satellites are received at the same time, there will be three distance values. According to the position of the satellites, using geometric knowledge to calculate, you can know your precise coordinates. If you add the fourth satellite, you can measure and calculate height information to come.

  In this kind of empty mid-low latitude area, there are at least six or seven above the head, so the position was determined in this way, very easy.

  This method only passively receives signals and does not actively transmit signals. Therefore, with this device, you don’t have to worry about being discovered by others, let alone your location.

  The only risk is being cut off from the signal.

   After all, the GPS system is used by the U.S. military. In 1983, the passenger plane of Kimchi State yawed and flew towards Lao Maozi’s intercontinental ballistic missile launch area, but was unceremoniously killed by Lao Maozi.

  After the incident happened, the Americans announced that they would open up their global satellite navigation system to civilian equipment.

However, the Americans still kept a hand. They reduced the accuracy of the satellite positioning system. In fact, they blurred the precise time signal, so as to prevent some users from using this system for military purposes without permission. .

  Before 1991, exporting GPS terminals required a license. After 1991, there is no such restriction. As long as you have money, you can buy whatever you want.

  A system capable of precise positioning will of course be used in the military. Moreover, the problem of insufficient accuracy was quickly solved by smart technicians. Since the Americans are actively making errors, let’s eliminate the errors!

  The Yankees soon discovered that a large number of differential positioning terminals came out.

According to different principles, there are three kinds of correction methods, among which the pseudo-range difference is the most widely used, which requires a special ground reference station, where all satellites are observed, and based on the known coordinates of the reference station and the coordinates of each satellite, the The real distance from each satellite to the reference station at each moment, and the real time signal value is calculated. Then compare it with the satellite's value to get the pseudo-range correction number, and then transmit it to the user's receiver. After such a lot of tossing, you can get meter-level positioning accuracy.

In later generations, for the convenience of users, the motherland even established 20 beacon stations (that is, the reference stations of the differential system) along the coastline from south to north to send RTCM differential correction information 24 hours a day without receiving any Cost, the client only needs a mobile station GPS to achieve high-precision real-time positioning.

The Yankees stare blankly, but there is no way. This is the same as satellite TV. It costs a lot of money to launch communication satellites, and it is not free for users to use. However, after cracking the terminal password, countless satellite receivers have been stolen by counterfeit factories. Produce it, buy it once, and watch it for free for life.

   After all, the satellite signal is broadcast, and there is no way to control who receives it. However, if you are in a hurry, you can cut off the satellite signal.

  The Yankees once did this, completely losing the positioning signal in a certain area.

   Therefore, if you use other people's systems, you will be controlled by others. In order to avoid this situation, China has vigorously developed its own satellite navigation system. The famous Beidou has also become the pride of the motherland.

(Beidou is a satellite. Most mobile phones in later generations have built-in Beidou receiving chips. Whether we use Baidu or AutoNavi, we are already using various satellite signals, such as GPS, Lao Maozi’s GLONASS, and ours. Beidou, don't spend money to buy some Beidou navigation app, this is Li Gui.)

   Now, with the use of the high-end differential GPS navigation terminal, the launch coordinates and target coordinates can be located at the meter level. This kind of strike accuracy will of course be much higher.

  A call came from the radio: "The target has been determined, the location coordinates..."

A TV camera and broadcasting equipment were left there. After all, it was too dangerous to keep people watching. On the TV screen here, the condition of the target was also transmitted: in the endless desert, on a random sand dune, set up A flag was raised and fluttered in the wind.

  The car that arranged the impact point drove five kilometers away and established a special observation position. They were waiting for the next moment.

  In the missile launch preparation vehicle, the atmosphere was a little tense. All kinds of data were entered into the computer, the trajectory was calculated, and the flight route was designed. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

   Three minutes later.

   "The preparations have been completed, request to launch!"

  When he heard this voice, Kasim was very excited: "So fast? We will launch the Scud missile, and we need to prepare for more than 30 minutes!"

   "Of course, we have the most advanced missile launch system." Qin Tao said.

  The Scud missile is a liquid missile, and the fire control system is also very primitive. The ballistic calculation is still using a mechanical computer, and it will soon be damned.

   "Ready to launch!"

Following the order, the solid engine behind the M-7 missile was ignited on the inclined launch pad, and hot flames spewed out backwards, and white smoke enveloped the entire launch site. Qin Tao and the others stood upwind and watched the spectacular scene , with emotion.

   "Our Scud missiles are launched vertically. How can this kind of missile use an inclined launcher?" Someone asked a question.

This is of course brought out of the mother's womb. Its prototype is the Hongqi-2 missile. As an air defense missile in the 1950s and 1960s, it is of course launched in an oblique way. Now it is directly modified at low cost. Of course, it cannot be changed to a vertical position. Launched, that would be too wasteful.

The missiles flew up into the sky with tongues of flame. Watching these missiles leave, Qin Tao said: "It seems that you have a soft spot for Scud missiles! Now, how many missiles do you have in stock? Do you want to buy another one?" batch?"

   "Can you get Scud missiles?" Kassim swallowed, "We need at least two hundred!"

Although they have a lot of inventory, although they can still produce it themselves, after all, the output is low. In the missile war a few years ago, they fought a lot, and the inventory is running out. If they can buy a batch, it will be another It couldn't be better.

   "Okay, then I'll get you two hundred coins, how about one million coins?"

"Can."

   Easy, a deal is done!

   One million Scud missiles, is it expensive? Compared with the party fee -3, which is 100 million US dollars bought on the opposite side, it is absolutely cheap!

  However, for Qin Tao, this deal can make him a lot of money! From now on, his career as an international loser will reach a new level. From Lao Maozi, he can buy one piece for 150,000 to 200,000 yuan, and if he buys 20 pieces, he can get one as a gift!

   It’s the first time you come, set a small goal first, earning him 100-200 million is enough.

   Liu Shenggen, who was in charge of the translation, was very emotional there, Mr. Qin's business is simple and easy!

  Just the way he strolled in the courtyard made Liu Shenggen admire him very much. If he knew that Qin Tao had achieved a small goal with just a few words, I don't know how he should feel.

  The flying speed of the missile is very fast. While they were chatting, the missile had already flown to the target.

"Attention, the missile is about to arrive!" Following a message from the observers five kilometers away, everyone looked at the TV screen, where suddenly a half-length missile appeared, and swished, piercing towards the Knowing the position of the flag, when seeing the landing point of the missile, the insider exclaimed: "The error is within 20 meters!"

  According to the size of the flag, the impact point can be compared. The distance from the missile landing point to the flag is about four flagpoles. The exposed part of the flagpole is about five meters, so the error is on the order of twenty meters.

   Ox!

  This is under strong winds and with a large drop from the high ground. If the Scud missile is used, it will definitely be able to hit an error of more than one kilometer.

  An error of twenty meters, this is simply unbelievable.

  Boom!

  Amidst the sound of the explosion, the fireball rose up, and the flagpole and flag disappeared instantly.

  The people watching nearby also opened their eyes wide. The entire dune was shrouded in flames and thick smoke. After the thick smoke dissipated, the dune was gone! It was blown away!

   "This power is not much worse than the Scud missile, and the killing radius is at least 200 meters!"

  As an air defense missile, the warhead of the Hongqi-2 missile weighs 170 kilograms. As long as it is hit by it, there is absolutely no way out. After being converted into a surface-to-surface missile, the weight of the warhead has increased to 250 kilograms. It is an exaggeration to say that it is similar in power to a scud missile with a one-ton warhead. , directly lifted the sand dunes, and it still looks very spectacular.

"Not bad, not bad! The performance of this missile is great, and the accuracy is so high. In the future, when we hit the enemy's key targets, we will be able to have a big killer." Kasim was very satisfied with this test launch. Satisfied, he nodded immediately.

  When they returned to their residence, everyone was very happy. In the restaurant, a lively dinner party was going on.

"Today's test firing opened our eyes. From then on, we will be able to obtain a precision strike weapon." Kasim was very happy, and he raised his glass: "Come on, let's prepare for today's test firing." Cheers to success and let us wish you all the best."

  Although he was holding a wine glass in his hand, what was inside was pomegranate juice just squeezed from the juicer beside it. It was bright red in color, similar to wine.

  As for the guests from the East, everyone's glass is full of fake wine.

  Qin Tao raised his glass: "Yes, let's toast to today's test success!"

  Drinking a glass of wine, for Qin Tao who is used to drinking vodka, is nothing more than gargling his mouth.

Since then, there has been no alcohol here, at least on the surface, but in fact, there are still many underground workshops, especially a kind of strong alcohol called dog sweat. It is said that drinking it will burn violently in the stomach , just like a beagle.

   But, just think about it, you still have to respect other people's customs here. If local young people are caught drinking, they will be **** and whipped. Only foreign guests are allowed to drink.

   "We plan to purchase nine transport-launch integrated vehicles and 90 missiles in the first batch."

  Nine is a special number, it is three three. This is not nonsense. In the army, many are organized in threes and threes. One missile launch vehicle forms a squad, three squads form a platoon, and three platoons form a company.

   "Please make a price." Kasim said.

"By the way, Lao Maozi's Scud missile, such a backward weapon, also needs one million dollars a piece. Our missile is far more accurate than the Scud, and the preparation time is still short. This advanced missile must be Better to use than Scud missiles, for the price."

  Qin Tao glanced at Kasim, and then said: "Ninety missiles, nine launch vehicles, plus personnel training, etc., packaged together, how about 200 million?"

   Elder Shen, who came along with him, swallowed, 200 million? Mr. Qin is really ruthless!

   They originally told Mr. Qin that they only planned to sell 600,000 pieces! How can this thing be compared with a Scud missile? Ninety pieces, that's only more than 50 million yuan, plus the matching launch vehicle, it can be sold for 60 to 70 million yuan, which is enough.

  Qin Tao directly wants 200 million! You know, these are all waste products in China, and they are things that need to be dismantled with money. Now, they can be sold for sky-high prices?

  When picking up the plane yesterday, Kasim once said that money is not a problem, but even if Parthia is not short of money, it can't be taken advantage of like this!

  At this time, Kasim’s expression was also a little embarrassed. Normally, since it is a business, it is normal to bargain, but now, Haikou has already boasted. If it is said to be too expensive, it will be embarrassing.

As if knowing what Kasim was thinking, Qin Tao smiled: "For your side, ninety missiles are far from enough, and you will definitely need a huge number in the future, but if you just buy them, It is not in line with your national defense policy, so after this deal is completed, we will also help improve your production plant so that you can produce this advanced weapon yourself."

self-produce?

  The price of 200 million yuan is indeed high enough, but if the technology is introduced along the way and the company can produce it by itself, then this deal will definitely be a bargain!

   "We will also send experts here to help guide the production work. If you have other questions in this field, you can also ask our experts."

  Kasim became excited: "Thank you for your support, we have no problem with this deal!"

   Laymen watch the excitement, experts watch the doorway, and experts can save a few years of detours with a few words.
