Chapter 304 Alarm of the base

Qin Tao doesn't want anything, and this kind of Su-25 is not his favorite. At this time, after hearing Qin Tao's words, Yarmolenko felt very sorry, don't want too much, even if this one gives him ten Ten thousand dollars is fine.

  However, he has already negotiated a deal worth 1.5 million dollars just now, and he can be regarded as a windfall.

  Qin Tao didn't look in the grass for long. After all, the more he likes something, the more calm he should be, so that he can get it better.

   Several people walked back, continued to walk forward through the path opened in the grass, and returned to the dark red deck.

  The area of ​​this deck is very large. Qin Tao pointed to the leaping deck and said, "If you come here in winter, maybe you can ski on it."

  Yarmolenko nodded. The officers and soldiers guarding the base did do this when they were bored. It is a pretty good platform for ski jumps, whether it is an airplane or a skier.

  He smiled and said: "Yeah, it's nice to ski on it, but when we were testing the catapult, we tied all kinds of things to the catapult and popped it out, which was also very enjoyable."

   As he spoke, his finger pointed to the catapult on the other side.

  A slender slit appeared on the dark red steel deck. Zheng Ming walked over it with great interest, carefully watching everything below.

  In this era, steam catapults are the most mature and reliable. So far, all steam catapults have been used on American aircraft carriers!

  Zheng Ming is very interested, if the steam catapult here can be disassembled, how great it would be!

  Qin Tao continued to joke with Yarmolenko: "I heard that Americans like to use steam catapults to catapult their stinky leather boots. What have you catapulted? Is there a toilet?"

"We are not as bad as the Americans. We once ejected a truck." Yarmolenko pointed to the grass in the distance: "After the ejection, the truck flew into the grass over there. That scene was really amazing. Interesting."

  The broken truck is still in the grass, but the catapult here is completely unable to work.

   "Really? Let's go and have a look."

  Qin Tao walked past Zheng Ming and patted him on the shoulder.

  Of course Qin Tao knew what Zheng Ming was thinking, but Qin Tao didn't intend to do this.

In fact, when the scrap steel of the Ulyanovsk was taken away, there were parts of this kind of steam catapult in the scrap steel. After all, before the shutdown of this nuclear-powered warship, these parts had been After assembling it, Qin Tao packed it and took it away.

  However, Qin Tao didn't say this, and those scrap steels were thrown directly into the open space of Mingzhou Iron and Steel Plant.

  The steam catapult is already a backward thing, and there is no need for his side to waste time on the steam catapult. Qin Tao trusts Magong very much. He believes that Magong will definitely get what he needs to get out.

  If the samples of these steam catapults are known, then some people in China, just to be on the safe side, may support the steam catapult project.

   Simply cut off all their support, so that they have no choice but to support electromagnetic catapults.

  When the catapult was developed, the steam catapult was supported and funded, and the electromagnetic catapult was built by Ma Gong with self-raised funds. In the end, the steam catapult was compared.

  Qin Tao doesn't want to take detours in this regard.

Sure enough, after walking over, in the grass, you can see a Maz military vehicle. When it flew up and fell down, the vehicle was completely deformed. After that, it was moved to one side, avoiding the extension line of the steam catapult .

  Wind and rain, the whole vehicle is full of rust.

  Qin Tao walked around it and felt a lot of emotion. It is a car, but it has the opportunity to fly. For it, it is both lucky and unfortunate.

   "Hey, there seems to be another car over there?" Qin Tao pointed to another car in the grass not far away.

  The biggest feature of that car is that it has many wheels. On the side of the car, there are five off-road tires with huge patterns, so the whole car is longer than the Scud missile launcher! You can tell what this vehicle is for just by looking at it.

   Especially, on the top of the car, there is a huge cylinder.

   I don’t know how many years it has been idle. The off-road tires of that car are all flat, and the body is also rusty, which has the same color as the surrounding mud.

Yarmolenko glanced over there, and then said naturally: "That is a land-based launch vehicle for R-33 missiles. It was tested at the base more than ten years ago, and then it was thrown away. Here it is."

  R-33 missiles?

  Qin Tao felt his heart beating faster inexplicably. He really didn't expect that there would be such a good thing!

   Speaking of the R-33 missile, it seems to be the name of the air-to-air missile. In fact, the number is the same, not only the air-to-air missile, but also the ballistic missile!

  Lao Maozi’s ballistic missiles also start with R, and the initial imitation V-2 missile was named R-1.

   Now, the R-33 missile in front of me, if Qin Tao guessed correctly, should be an upgraded product of the R-27K anti-ship ballistic missile!

In the 1960s, Lao Maozi began to develop special anti-ship ballistic missiles. It was originally modified on the basis of the R-27 missile. However, from the early 1970s to the end of the 1970s, this missile was used in The ground and the K-102 test nuclear submarine have carried out many ground and underwater test launches, and they have not really equipped the troops.

  There are many reasons for this. For example, the accuracy of this missile is not always high, and it can only use nuclear warheads as warheads, which is greatly restricted in actual combat.

   Therefore, this missile has never entered service, and Lao Maozi's research has not stopped. On the basis of this anti-ship ballistic missile, they have improved the R-33 anti-ship ballistic missile with more advanced technology!

  The length of the two missiles is the same, about 13 meters, but the range of the latter has reached 2,000 meters, far more than double that of the former.

   This anti-ship ballistic missile developed by the 385th Special Design Bureau is already about to mature. However, due to many reasons, this anti-ship ballistic missile was also abandoned.

Reasons, such as the INF Treaty, this kind of missile needs to be reduced, and another example, the Lao Maozi Navy’s worry, if a few anti-ship ballistic missiles can kill the enemy’s aircraft carrier formation, then it will need its own huge surface ships What is the formation doing?

  In short, this creative weapon system has disappeared in the long river of history. Now, even Qin Tao never thought that such an anti-ship ballistic missile could be found here!

   Didn’t you say it was tested at the Kapuskin Yar shooting range? Why did you come here to test?

  However, it should be impossible to truly simulate the scene of an anti-ship ballistic missile hitting an aircraft carrier in that land shooting range. It should be more appropriate to find a target ship in the Black Sea to test it here.

  Now that you have found it, you must not miss it!

   "Our aircraft carrier park needs this kind of big guy. I think it's worth a hundred thousand dollars!"

  Yarmolenko was overjoyed.

  Just now, he was still regretting the lack of one hundred thousand dollars, but now, this **** is worth one hundred thousand dollars?

   "By the way, is there a missile in it? If there is a real thing in it, when we show it, we open the launch cover and expose the contents, that would be called domineering." Qin Tao continued.

  According to the INF Treaty, these missiles are all in the ranks of destruction, but those destroyed are all in service, and the missiles tested are likely to survive.

  Qin Tao was full of anticipation in his heart. If there was only one launch vehicle, then the $100,000 would be in vain.

   "There are probably no missiles in here, but there is still a dismantled sample bomb in the warehouse. If you want, you can take that sample bomb away."

  Qin Tao was overjoyed.

   A group of people came to the warehouse. Inside, they saw a disassembled sample bomb, with parts everywhere and covered with dust.

   It is estimated that it will not be able to assemble.

   "Qin, if you want, you can take all the things here."

  Yarmolenko is very generous. Anyway, for him, these things are useless, they are completely discarded.

  However, Qin Tao can tell at a glance that the technology contained in these sample parts will also have a great effect.

   Among other things, just looking at that fairing can give people a lot of inspiration.

  R-27K anti-ship ballistic missile is still a traditional cone, but the R-33 in front of you has become a double cone structure, which is a huge improvement!

   After all, anti-ship ballistic missiles need to continue to adjust their trajectory after re-entering the atmosphere, which requires the installation of special aerodynamic rudder surfaces.

If it is only a traditional cone warhead, installing an aerodynamic rudder will face the problem of excessive resistance at high speeds, and the double cone structure warhead solves the problem ingeniously: it can form a shock wave, allowing the aerodynamic rudder to hide behind the shock wave The rear, thereby greatly reducing the warhead resistance at high speed, allowing the warhead to be precisely controlled in the atmosphere below 30 kilometers.

   Only by allowing the warhead to move quickly and agilely can it be able to perform large-scale maneuvers under the control of precise terminal guidance.

but…

   "I guess, the precious metals inside should have been stolen?"

  This base is almost abandoned. Even if outsiders cannot enter, the guards in the base can still walk around at will, so they may steal the precious metals inside to exchange for money.

  Yarmolenko's face was a little embarrassed, which is true.

   "If some parts are missing, we probably won't be able to put it back together."

   "Well, it seems that there are still some technical materials and missing parts. You can make them yourself. I will look for them."

   As Yarmolenko spoke, he opened the warehouse next to him. Sure enough, there were still a lot of documents in it!

   "These are useless, if you want, you can take them away."

   "Well, the waste paper here is good. According to the price of waste paper, I will take these things away."

   It seems that this used to be the most important test site for the R-33 missile, so those technicians brought back all the design data in order to be able to correct the defects during the test at any time.

   For Qin Tao, this is a completely unexpected harvest! He never dreamed that he could get this kind of thing back easily.

In the past, Qin Tao proposed the idea of ​​anti-ship ballistic missiles with the Navy. However, due to the limited funds of the Navy and the many tasks of the Aerospace Academy, this project is estimated to be at the stage of PPT at most. With all the materials and samples returned, it is estimated that the relevant units will be able to officially enter the pre-research, right?

   This kind of weapon should really be produced quickly, and this will be a big killer for an aircraft carrier!

  Qin Tao's heart was filled with a sense of urgency.

   The waste paper has come to an end. Qin Tao looked at several nearby warehouses and asked curiously, "What's inside these warehouses?"

   "These are some parts of our Nitka system." Yarmolenko said: "Anyway, the base has been abandoned now. Qin, I can give you whatever you want."

  We talked about a $1.6 million project, and the spare parts in the warehouse are useless. Of course, they can be given to Qin Tao.

"Oh, thank you."

  Amidst Qin Tao's thanks, Yarmolenko opened the warehouse next to him, followed by Qin Tao's Zheng Ming, breathing heavily immediately.

what is inside?

  A few spare T-10K landing hooks, a thick and powerful catapult nose landing gear, an arresting cable, and several Fresnel light boxes...

  Although it is said that these things are of no use if they are thrown in the warehouse, for the motherland that has never been in contact with an aircraft carrier, these things are very useful!

  Developing from scratch, and imitating with samples, the efficiency is definitely different.

   It's a timely help!

  Zheng Ming was very shocked, Qin Tao smiled: "These things are indeed waste products, but we can't ask for your things for nothing. I think these things are worth..."

   Before Qin Tao finished speaking, Yarmolenko shook his head again and again: "No, no, Qin, you have already given me a lot of benefits. If these things are useful to you, then take them away!"

  Since Yarmolenko is so firm, Qin Tao is embarrassed to refute Yarmolenko's face.

   "Okay, then I will accept it. Don't worry, the money will be transferred to your account tonight."

Qin Tao has made a lot of money in recent business deals, so it’s no problem to pay the Navy in advance. Anyway, with Zheng Ming by his side, he can know how much Qin Tao spent. to reimburse.

   Just when Qin Tao and Yarmolenko reached an agreement to end this pleasant journey, suddenly, the alarm sounded at the base.

   "Damn it, which guy is drinking too much?" Yarmolenko said angrily.

  This abandoned base, what is the emergency? This alarm was clearly caused by a guy guarding the base who had drunk too much. The sound was so loud that it made people's hearts tremble.

   Too much, too much!

   "Look, over there!" At this moment, Zheng Ming pointed to the sky.

  In the distance, there seems to be something approaching. Although it is not clear what it is, you can see its tail, dragging a black smoke.

  When he saw the situation in the sky, Yarmolenko was also taken aback, and then shouted: "Quick, drive the fire truck in our base!"

  Although the base has been abandoned, many facilities are still complete. The fire engine is in a corner of the tower. At this time, a few soldiers of Lao Maozi ran over and started to start the vehicles.

   Hum, buzz!

   Hum, buzz!

Many times in a row, the engine was not started, so an anxious soldier finally rushed to the front of the car, stuffed the crank into a hole in the front of the car, and shook it vigorously with two powerful arms. , One click, two clicks, three clicks, puffs of black smoke came out of the car's engine, and it finally started.

   At this time, the roar in the sky is also getting louder.

  Qin Tao looked at the plane in the sky with his hands in front of the sun, and then he couldn't help feeling emotional: "This plane must be quite big, bigger than Il-76!"

  It is difficult to determine the size of a plane in the sky without something to compare it with, but this one is different.

When it is flying, its huge body can make people feel more spectacular. Now, the black smoke it drags drags across the sky, forcibly dividing the sky into two halves, like combing the earth. A middle score.

  The nose is huge, the glass of the cockpit on the top is too small to see clearly, and four engines are suspended under the huge wings.

   If he hadn't counted the number of engines clearly, Qin Tao would have thought it was the An-225 that was even more against the sky! Now this plane, which is a circle smaller than the An-225, should be the An-124.

   There was chaos inside the base. Just as the fire truck drove to the side of the runway, the An-124 transport plane with one engine on fire had already come down.

  As the plane gradually lowered its altitude, the silhouette became bigger and bigger. Zheng Ming opened his eyes wide and looked at this big guy.

   "I guess it's bigger than our Il-76s!"

   "No need to guess, you can say for sure." Qin Tao said: "The empty weight of this aircraft is already not much lower than the maximum take-off weight of the IL-76."

   Speaking of large aircraft, the An-124 ranks second among various aircraft in the world. Its empty weight is 176 tons, while the maximum take-off weight of the Il-76 is only about 200 tons.

  If you put the two planes together, you can clearly see the gap between the two planes.

  Il-76 has a length of 46.59 meters and a wingspan of 50.5 meters, while An-124 has a fuselage length of 69.1 meters and a wingspan of 73.3 meters. If the latter is erected, it will be a skyscraper.

   Now, this skyscraper is rapidly approaching, the whistling wind makes people's ears buzzing, if it is not dragging black smoke, it is absolutely perfect enough.

   "Can this plane land on this kind of runway?" Zheng Ming was a little nervous.

  Although this is also an aviation base, it is mainly used for those small fighter jets. The length of the runway simply cannot take off and land such a large aircraft, right?

   "So, they used the Afghan style of landing." Qin Tao said: "You didn't realize that its landing posture is wrong?"

  Ordinary planes land with the nose tilted upwards so that the rear main landing gear touches the ground first, but now, this transport plane dives directly down!

  This way, it’s like an old white man throwing a bicycle, with his face first hitting the ground. If it's more literary, then, the buttocks are backward, and the title of flat sand and wild goose is good.

   "Yeah, this kind of landing posture is very weird, aren't they afraid of falling to death?" Zheng Ming sweated for the pilot.

   "Of course you don't have to be afraid, there is nothing you can't do for the old man."

  When the old man was landing, the captain pulled the curtains and performed a blind landing, not to mention the simple Afghan-style landing now.

   This landing was not invented by the Afghans, but in the country of Afghanistan. The old man fought there for ten years and needed a large amount of supplies. Therefore, transport planes often need to go to the airport there to land.

  However, the nearby guerrillas quickly changed their shotguns, and they had a large number of Stinger air defense missiles on hand. If they landed conventionally and took a slow downline, they would be easily attacked by Stinger missiles.

  So, they adopted this bold and novel way of landing: descending sharply in a dive attitude, pulling up suddenly when they are about to approach the ground, and then landing.

This method has many advantages. It can greatly shorten the time of the aircraft landing process, reduce the possibility of being attacked by anti-aircraft missiles, and shorten the running distance required for landing. However, the disadvantage is also great: not an experienced crew Personnel, you can't play with it at all, if you are a little careless, you can shoot it directly on the runway of the airport, and the plane crashes and everyone dies!

  In later generations, when the Yun-20 flew to a certain country, it also landed in this way to avoid danger to the greatest extent, which fully demonstrated the superb skills of the pilots of the motherland.

  Now, this huge plane landed like this, amidst the howling, like a soaring eagle, before it touched the ground, it quickly recovered, and the nose was going to be pulled up to let the main landing gear touch the ground.

   But... it had an engine on fire!

  When it turns from a dive to a climb, the change of attitude requires the engine to exert power. Now, the engine is not powerful!

  So, before the fuselage was evened out, the plane touched the ground. The front landing gear first touched the runway, and with a loud click, the landing gear broke instantly!

  The fuselage slid on the runway, as if a person fell to the ground and continued to slide forward with his face on the ground, looking very embarrassed.

  The fuselage rubbed against the ground, and terrible sparks came out. The fire truck chased after it with its siren on.

   This scene looked so shocking.

  Qin Tao and Zheng Ming, along with several subordinates, also followed.

  By the time the two arrived at the scene, the plane had already stopped, and the fire truck was spraying stinky water over it. The fire water in its tank had not been used for several years, and the smell was comparable to stinky tofu.

  Several crew members slid out of the emergency passage of the plane. Although these planes looked similar to civil aviation planes, the pilots wore helmets and military flight suits, which made them look more handsome.

   There are also several people in suits who are also crawling down the ground, attracting Qin Tao's attention.

  What mission does this plane fly? There should be no busy air routes here, right?
