Chapter 307 Purchase Modern Grade

  In the Indian Ocean, the confrontation with the Xingchen continued. In order to show their innocence, the relevant departments have decided to open the box for inspection at a third-party port. However, this kind of thing still makes countless people feel ashamed.

  Amid this humiliation, they strengthened their beliefs: they must have a strong fleet, guard the sea and borders of the motherland, and protect every cargo ship flying the flag of the motherland!

  With this belief, the military purchase delegation came to Damao North Shipyard.

"What you see is No. 878, a warship that is being outfitted, and most of the equipment installation has been completed, including naval guns, torpedo tubes, etc." Factory Director Sergey Chemezzo The husband said, with a smile on his face.

A group of workers are still working on the outfitting dock. Their task is to polish. This task started a few days ago. Mezov was overjoyed, and immediately got people to start work.

   That's right, we must start working! Looking at the shiny new warship on the berth, he was very happy.

   This important ship has long been renamed Yekaterinburg, but after it is exported, it will definitely be changed to a new name, so he simply introduced it with the number 878 under construction at the factory.

  Listening to the harsh noise of grinding, Qin Tao pointed to the dock on the other side: "Another 879, is it inside?"

   "Well..." Chemezov hesitated.

Seeing the erratic look in his eyes, Qin Tao immediately guessed something, and asked him considerately: "Is the rust not cleaned? It doesn't matter, we don't care. Since we bought a second-hand warship, we don't care about its condition. You should know it in your heart. Take us there to have a look, as we say in the East, an ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her parents-in-law."

   Chemezov nodded: "Okay, let's take you to see it."

This is a dock with a roof, which is very luxurious. It is necessary to build some confidential ships. At this time, in this dock, there is a rusty warship moored. The scaffolding has just been built, and countless workers Standing on it, holding an angle grinder, polishing the rust on it.

  The place that has been polished is as bright as new, the part that has not been polished is full of rust, and in the junction area, it is clearly separated.

   "After the shutdown, it was parked in the open air, and it is normal to get rusted." Chemezov explained.

"Yeah, rust is normal, but it's not normal to be rusted like this. The steel used to build warships is no problem, right? If it's just rust on the surface, it's fine. If there are problems inside, That would be a lot of trouble."

  Qin Tao's attitude was completely different from before and after. Zheng Ming, who was at the side, suppressed a smile. He knew that this was Mr. Qin deliberately finding fault again, planning to bargain.

"Of course not, it's just rust, how could it affect the interior of the hull?" Chemezov quickly assured: "Please rest assured, I guarantee on the reputation of the shipyard that there is absolutely no problem with these two warships! "

   "Well, I believe you, my friend, but, in terms of price, a rusty second-hand warship, and a brand new second-hand warship..."

   Before Qin Tao finished speaking, Chemezov shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, the price is already very low, more than half of what we expected, and I have to give it to you..."

Chemezov looked at the other military representatives around Qin Tao, swallowed the rebate abruptly, thought for a while, and continued: "If you still need to modify, we don't need to charge additional modification fees. gone."

   "Modification is necessary, do you still want to charge for the modification?" Qin Tao glanced at Chemezov: "Are you too dark?"

  What is too dark, we are very kind, obviously you are too dark, okay! If it weren't for what you said just now, I wouldn't show you the warships being polished here even if you were killed! At this moment, Chemezov was very aggrieved.

  However, he didn't dare to talk back to Qin Tao. What if Qin Tao was unhappy and slapped his **** and left?

  He heard that when Qin Tao and the others were at Ermao's side, they directly bought the dusty An-225 and spent 100 million, what a rich man! He can't offend such a benefactor.

   "President Qin, what else do you think?" Chemezov asked Qin Tao carefully, just like a bullied little daughter-in-law.

"I heard that you have developed a newer 9M317 missile. Therefore, the warship exported to us should not install the outdated 9M38 missile. Just provide us with the latest missile. The number is still two hundred. , we won’t make things difficult for you either.”

What?

  Chemezov opened his eyes wide: "How do you know?"

"You don't need to worry about this. We know it and we know it. The two types of missiles are very versatile, so there is no need to change the warship, just replace the missiles. How about it? Do you have any difficulties? If it is difficult, we will not buy it. .”

   Of course there are difficulties, money!

The Shijili air defense system is used on the 956-class destroyer. The 9M38M2 missile equipped on it is Lao Maozi's main air defense missile. Over the years, Lao Maozi has stored a large number of missiles of this type in his arsenal, so there is no need It costs too much money, just drag it out of the arsenal, and just ship it away.

However, the 9M317 missile is different. This missile was also developed by the Altair Scientific Research and Production Consortium. Compared with the prototype missile, the length has increased by 0.2 meters, and the range has been expanded from more than 20 kilometers to 40 kilometers. The missiles of this type were first intercepted on the cruiser Sakharov in 1991, before the collapse of the Red Empire. Eight targets were intercepted with 30 missiles, three of which were 500 meters away. Flying at a height of 50 meters and 5 meters, the other five missiles directly dealt with the targets at a height of 3 meters, and all of them successfully hit.

   Next, it was supposed to be mass-produced, but the Red Empire collapsed! In the following years, there has been chaos. The military factories simply do not have the ability to produce such missiles, and they simply do not have any stockpiled ammunition.

   Now, Qin Tao wants this kind of air defense missile, that is, it needs to be newly produced. How much will it cost?

  Qin Tao looked at Chemezov with contempt: "We came here with sincerity, please also be sincere, don't perfuse us!"

  He made a good gesture. If the other party disagrees, then turn around and leave. These two modern-class ships should continue to rust!

  Zheng Ming was watching Qin Tao's performance with great interest. Of course he knew that Qin Tao was seeking real benefits for the navy.

The navy already has the Hongqi-16, which was imitated from the early 9M38M2 missile. Now, the navy is going to develop a further range-extending model. If it can get a more advanced 9M317 missile from Lao Maozi, of course it would be great .

  After all, there is no need for the old models, and our own side can produce them to meet the needs at any time. Even if the old man does not give one, there is no need to worry about the lack of missiles. However, the advanced models will be gone.

  Take advantage of this opportunity to extort some good things from Lao Maozi!

   Chemezov is called a tangle.

what to do? promise each other? How can it be! Where can I find missiles? Do not agree? What if people leave? Are these two Type 956 destroyers really going to become scrap iron?

   "Boss Qin, the price of this new type of missile may be higher!" After a long time, Chemezov choked out a sentence, you can also ask for this kind of missile, add more money!

"Higher? Well, then let's ask for a smaller number. It was agreed before that it was 200 missiles. Now, how about changing it to 100 missiles? Two for one, is it okay? You If you still don’t agree, then you must have other ideas!”

  It is impossible to increase the money, however, the amount can be reduced.

One hundred, two hundred, there is no difference in fact. Anyway, as long as this kind of missile is brought back, our side can produce a large number soon. On the modern class destroyer, there is a magazine at the front and back, each with 24 bombs , plus the one hanging on the single-arm launcher, a warship can hold up to fifty, and two ships can carry exactly one hundred.

   As long as it is enough for now, we will talk about it later.

   "One hundred pieces, I'm afraid it's not enough for you?" Chemezov said.

Two for one is fair on the surface, which is equivalent to doubling the price of the purchased missiles, but in fact, the 9M38M2 missile is the same as a free gift, and it doesn’t cost much, but the 9M317 missile needs a brand new missile. The relationship between production and price may be ten times or even higher.

  However, Chemezov didn’t dare to say it. If he said that he used the missiles in stock to fool people, the big money maker in front of him would probably have to leave again.

  He can only put it another way, you want a hundred coins, it’s not enough! Could it be that the missiles in that ship are gone when they are used up?

"My friend, you are right." Qin Tao said: "So, you should also understand some truths. In the future, we will continue to purchase this kind of missiles. You can make money as long as you start the production line. We Now, it is because of the budget and the ideas of the superiors, and in the future, you may be able to earn more."

   After finishing speaking, Qin Tao gestured to Zheng Ming who was beside him with his eyes. This person was sent by the Navy. There are some things that I cannot say clearly.

   Chemezov suddenly understood.

  One hundred missiles are definitely not enough. After they drive back, they will test-fire a few of them. No matter how expensive it is, Eastern customers have to buy it. Otherwise, with warships and no missiles, isn’t it just having guns but no bullets?

  Even if you suffer a little loss this time, you can still make a fortune in the future. Moreover, now you are gritting your teeth and starting the missile production line, not only can you sell missiles, but you can also produce new types of missiles for the navy, all of which are profitable.

   Big deal, they will now use part of the Hyundai-class income to the missile factory, and they will have to go through them to sell missiles in the future!

   "Okay, I promise you." Chemezov finally nodded in agreement.

   This is not a one-off deal, and there will be a lot of income in the future.

  Of course he would not know that this was really a one-shot deal. When the two modern-class ships sailed to the east, it didn't take long for a large number of supporting equipment of the modern-class warships to appear on the eastern warships.

  What kind of roof radar, what kind of music station, what kind of anti-aircraft missiles, and it is almost a matter of the front and rear feet. Dongfang's copycat ability is terrible!

   Now, Chemezov is still immersed in the vision of the future.

   "This naval gun..." Qin Tao spoke again. Chemezov was walking at this time, in a trance, and almost fell down.

  Naval gun, what happened to the naval gun? Not even naval guns? Don't be so shameless!

   This dual-mounted 130mm naval gun is Lao Maozi's main naval gun.

Although the era of missiles has already entered during the Cold War, there are still many situations where missiles are not suitable for use. For example, when confronting and driving at sea, missiles cannot be used at this time. Aiming at the target is also a deterrent: should we go? If you don't go, I will open fire!

  The first-generation rotatable missile launcher can also be turned to open the cover, but the follow-up anti-ship missile launcher is fixed, which is inconvenient to operate.

   Moreover, in front of low-level opponents, it is the best choice to play a shore strike. The naval guns have high firepower and are cheap.

  Lao Maozi has developed quite a few naval guns. The AK-130 naval gun installed on the Hyundai class is an excellent naval gun specially designed for use by large warships jointly designed by their Amediste Design Bureau and Frunzer Armament Design Bureau.

Warships of three to four thousand tons all use 76mm, up to 100mm naval guns. The big guys like the Hyundai class use 130mm guns, and they are still dual-mounted, and the firepower density is quite strong. Rapid fire can kill all targets on the opposite beach.

Specifically, such a gun is equivalent to the firepower of an artillery battalion. After all, people use water to cool the gun barrel, so there is no need to worry about overheating. There is also an automatic loader. The rate of fire is amazing: 70 rounds per minute !

  The artillery on land, six or seven rounds per minute is already good.

   Throughout the world’s traditional naval warfare weapons, except for the advanced naval gun system used on the Yankee’s new Zumwalt-class destroyer, there is no naval gun that can compare with the AK130 in terms of fierce firepower and power!

   This naval gun has quite good performance, but there is no problem, and there is no upgrade or replacement product, so don't come here to find fault!

   Chemezov was worried.

   "This naval gun is good, but it's too heavy. It would be great if we could get its blueprint and make some weight-reducing parts ourselves." Qin Tao said.

   No need to modify, no need to spend money, we accepted, just want a blueprint.

   Hearing Qin Tao's words, Chemezov finally breathed a sigh of relief.

  If it is a design drawing of a missile system or an electronic device, you have to hesitate. The design drawing of a naval gun is not important. If you want it, you need it. Anyway, this warship sails back, and people can survey and map it.

   Naval guns are no big secret.

   It is only incidental to ask for a design drawing, but it will play a vital role in the development of the motherland's naval guns.

  The navy has spent huge sums of money to introduce 100mm naval guns from France. However, this kind of naval guns are not high enough, so they were eliminated later.

In terms of air defense, the rate of fire of the 100mm gun is not enough, the accuracy is not enough, it is difficult to form an air defense barrage, and the combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the 76mm gun; in terms of anti-ship and ground support, the range of the 100mm gun is too short, and the power is too small. Difficult to effectively hit enemy ships.

  So, after the arrival of the Hyundai class, the navy has aimed at the 130mm naval gun and started to engage in this class.

   Those with a displacement of less than 5,000 tons are equipped with 76mm guns, and those with a displacement of more than 5,000 tons are equipped with this 130mm gun.

  Of course, the first problem is to lose weight.

   Lao Maozi never considered the weight issue. The turret of the whole set of AK-130 naval gun is directly cast with steel, with a total weight of 94 tons! (There is also a saying that it is more than 30 tons, which feels unreliable. Is it a question of whether to count the bomb feeder?)

  Although this kind of weight is not a big deal when used on the modern class with a displacement of 8,000 tons and the glorious class with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, it still has a lot of impact.

  For example, because the turret is too heavy, the rotational inertia is too large, so the speed cannot be increased. When it is necessary to aim quickly, the servo system cannot keep up, but it loses the ability to respond quickly.

  At the same time, because it is too heavy, it is almost insulated from warships less than 5,000 tons.

   Warships of six to seven thousand tons are not convenient to install this kind of naval gun unless the weight is reduced.

  In later generations, the well-known domestic H/PJ45 naval gun was improved on this basis.

  In order to reduce the weight, the first thing is to change the double barrel into a single barrel. After all, naval guns are only occasionally taken out for emergencies. If you have them, you don’t need too many, let alone two dual-mounted naval guns like the Hyundai class, which is too extravagant.

  At the same time, various materials are used to reduce weight to further reduce its weight. The shape, of course, must also become a stealth shape with corners.

Even so, in order to be able to be installed on the 052 destroyer of six or seven thousand tons, it has been further simplified. For example, with a single feed, only one type of bomb can be used. If you want to switch, you have to switch from The bottom is reselected, and the time is very long. At the same time, in order to reduce the recoil, it is also equipped with a special muzzle brake.

   Arrived on the 055 destroyer, because the displacement is large enough, the muzzle brake was removed, and the design of single-tube dual-link ammunition feeding was restored. It is very fast to switch ammunition types, and at the same time, the ballistic performance is also better.

   After all, although the muzzle brake can reduce the recoil force, it will bring impact to the muzzle, the muzzle flame is strong, and the overpressure and noise are serious. Therefore, after removing it, the performance of the gun will be stronger.

  Although a Hyundai-class destroyer was dismantled last time, and all kinds of equipment were distributed to various design units for research, but if the design drawings can be obtained, it will still bring greater benefits to the imitation and improvement.

  So, Qin Tao made this request incidentally.

   Anyway, it's not a big deal, Chemezov can make the decision.

   After visiting the two warships and making many requests, everyone came to the office of the shipyard. Designer Misin and others from the Northern Design Bureau have also rushed over.

  Finally, these two Hyundai-class ships are about to be sold. After the sale, they will be able to earn a fortune. These days are too difficult!

"We have studied the improvement of the helicopter hangar that you proposed last time, and we will definitely complete the relevant improvement work in the final outfitting stage." Misin said to the guests from the east with a smile: "You If Fang has any other requirements, he can also raise them, and we can revise them together.”

  Any more needs?

  Zheng Ming discussed with several people around him, and finally shook his head: "We don't think there is any other need for modification at present. Please complete the outfitting for us as soon as possible and deliver it to our navy."

  They really can't think of anything that needs to be modified now. As for Qin Tao, even if he knows, there is no need to say it.

  For example, the anti-ship missile has an extended range model, and the range has been increased to 240 kilometers. However, this missile has not yet been finalized, and it is useless for our own side to mention it. In the future, after the domestic advanced supersonic anti-ship missiles mature, they can be replaced at any time.

  Other things, it is not realistic to change the anti-aircraft missile to vertical launch, it is too difficult to modify, and the price will soar. The most important thing is not to modify, but to serve as soon as possible!

  Qin Tao didn't say anything, even if this project is finalized.

   "So, do you want to buy a batch of anti-submarine helicopters to go back?" Misin continued.

Although the modern class was designed for air defense and anti-ship, the anti-submarine task is mainly undertaken by the Type 1155 Dreadnought class, but this does not mean that the modern class cannot anti-submarine. It still has sonar and ship-borne helicopters , after improving the hangar, it is more convenient to carry the helicopter.

  So, with the warships, you have to buy a batch of helicopters, right?

  This helicopter is not included in the warship order. If you want to buy it, you have to spend extra money. This one can make you a fortune!

   "If it's cheap, we can consider it; if it's too expensive, we can temporarily use our own straight nine." Qin Tao said.

   Chemezov and Misin looked at each other with disappointment in their eyes.

   "Qin, our hangar is designed for the Ka-27. If you use your own helicopter, it is not suitable, and the supporting system is not compatible."

   "But, we have no money." Qin Tao said: "By the way, if your government is willing to use debts to pay off, it can be considered."

  In the past few years, Lao Maozi lacked light industrial products in the country. A large number of bad guys took action, and there were also many official actions. In this way, one after another, when the Red Empire collapsed, the debt reached hundreds of millions.

Da Mao inherited the power of the Red Empire, and also inherited the debt relationship of the Red Empire. Therefore, this money needs to be paid by Da Mao. Of course, Da Mao must not take care of it now, until the international oil price rises sharply After that, they had this opportunity.

   Moreover, it is not certain whether this kind of international debt can be obtained in the end. If the debt can be exchanged for a helicopter, it can be considered.

  Although there is no communication with the country, there should be no big opinions in the country.

  Qin Tao said, we have no money, as you can see, Chemezov and Misin knew that the only hope was lost again.

   "By the way, since we are talking about this, after we finish negotiating the contract for the 956 destroyer, we can go to the Kamov Design Bureau to have a look, and it will be convenient to talk to them directly."
