Chapter 363 Experiment No. 3 Marine Scientific Research Vessel

"Mr. Qin, if we do this, will it make Da Mao suspicious of us?" After leaving the Naval Academy, Xu Zhengyang couldn't help but ask Qin Tao.

"What are you doubting?" Qin Tao said: "The brand-new boiler we provided worked well, nothing happened. The boiler they renovated themselves finally exploded. It must be because their workmanship is not good. What does our refractory bricks have to do with it? . After the explosion, they will definitely come to us to order a brand new boiler, so that we can make another profit, and it will be Asan who pays for it anyway."

What Qin Tao said was irresponsible at all, but he was so confident.

Xu Zhengyang already understood Qin Tao's style of doing things, so he didn't feel too shocked. This kind of rhetoric is indeed acceptable.

 Why use civilian ones? Cheap! Qin Tao is a businessman, not a philanthropist.

“Mr. Qin, where are you going next?”

 “Xiaoling’s side, take her home.”

"OK."

Since Xiaoling became pregnant, Qin Tao has become less enthusiastic about his work. As long as he has time, he will stay in Huating to accompany his wife.

Therefore, when Qin Tao came to the heavily guarded design institute and the spacious drawing room-renovated design office, it did not arouse anyone's surprise, because he had been a frequent visitor here for a long time.

Zhao Ling's belly has swollen. She is wearing special maternity clothes bought by Qin Tao and sitting on a chair. Her appearance is very strange.

 A string of characters danced on the computer screen in front of her.

However, she did not sit there for too long. In order to avoid the discomfort of the child in her belly, after a while, she would stand up and move around.

Just when she stood up to move, she saw a familiar figure approaching, so she smiled like a flower.

"You came?"

 “Well, I’ll take you home.”

 “Just wait a little longer. I’ll finish this part of the design.”

Hence, Qin Tao looked at the screen: "Is this modifying the missile's control program?"

“Yes, the hardware changes have been completed. As long as the program is modified, test firing can be carried out.” Zhao Ling said: “I don’t know whether this modification will come out first or our children.”

 As she spoke, she covered her belly.

"Of course our children will come out first. There is no rush for this modified missile." Qin Tao was very irresponsible.

“At the International Defense Exhibition, the model of the foreign trade frigate stole the show!” Zhao Ling looked at Qin Tao and said, “You have successfully attracted the attention of the world.”

“Well, what we want is this kind of sensational effect. Although we haven’t received orders yet, customers may come to our door before long.” Qin Tao said.

As long as Zhao Ling doesn't mention the female reporter, everything will be easy to talk about.

“We have observed that your model uses a square emitting device and also uses thermal emission technology.”

Qin Tao nodded subconsciously, and then thought of something: "You want to improve the launcher? This is not necessary. The current launcher should be used as it is, and we will talk about it later."

The Hongqi-16 has been successfully developed. The 054 frigate under construction is planned to be equipped with the prototype Hongqi-16 missile. The biggest feature of this missile is that it uses the same cold launch method as the S-300, with a round launch tube. .

 However, in the foreign trade model, a square launcher is used!

"Why make do? We have decided to research related technologies so that our missiles can also conduct thermal launch." Zhao Ling looked at Qin Tao: "If we want to achieve generalization in the future, thermal launch is an inevitable choice. "

“Lao Maozi is already researching related technologies. Wouldn’t it be better for us to use them directly when they develop them?” Qin Tao said: “Do you have too much research funding?”

Zhao Ling nodded.

　　Is there really too much to spend?

“We can’t always follow the road of copycats. We need to develop forward research and development, so that we not only know what is happening, but also why it is happening.” Zhao Ling insisted.

So Qin Tao nodded: "Okay, okay, okay, you're right, you can research it if you want, I won't interfere."

 Mr. Qin has changed his gender? In the past, he was very arbitrary! Xu Zhengyang on the side sighed with emotion at Qin Tao's changes.

 At this moment, Qin Tao’s eldest brother rang.

 “Hello, who is it? Dad?”

 “Okay, I understand, I understand, I’ll take Xiaoling back right now.”

 Zhao Ling raised her head in surprise.

“Our dad is here and waiting for us to go home for dinner. Let’s do this work tomorrow.”

 Qin Tao returned to his previous arbitrary behavior.

 “Okay.” Zhao Ling compromised.

When he got home, a large table of food had been prepared. Qin Tao moved his index fingers and grabbed chopsticks.

“Dad, why are you here? Have you cooked so many dishes today? Are you celebrating Brother Tao’s triumphant return?”

Hearing what his daughter said, Wu Shengli was a little unhappy: "It's called celebrating Tao Zi's triumphant return. I also have a share in going to Malaysia to participate in a defense exhibition."

"Dad, that's different. Brother Tao went to sell equipment and signed a lot of orders. You went there just to visit."

"Xiao Ling, what you said is wrong. Dad is here as the leader of the entire team. Our Mingzhou Group can sell so much equipment because of his good leadership. Come on, Dad, let me toast you!"

"Taozi, are you complimenting me? Why does it sound wrong to me?" Wu Shengli looked at his son-in-law.

“Of course I’m bragging, come on, dad, let’s drink!”

“Let’s get down to business first.” Wu Shengli said, “Taozi, today’s delicious meal is not only to celebrate the victory of our Mingzhou Group, but also to send you off.”

"Send off? I have no plans to go out recently!" Qin Tao looked at his father-in-law with some confusion.

“Have you forgotten? Some time ago, I told you that we are going to send a scientific research ship to the southern sea to investigate and see which island is better to build first.”

Qin Tao nodded quickly: "I haven't forgotten. How could I forget such a thing?"

Qin Tao really forgot that the whole project was proposed by Qin Tao, so now, Qin Tao's name is also included in the inspection team. Of course, if he doesn't want to go, he will definitely not It will embarrass him.

Want to go? Of course I did!

I have long heard that the soldiers guarding the reef there were having a hard time. Qin Tao wanted to see it with his own eyes. Moreover, the site selection was too important. If Qin Tao could get involved, of course he had to get involved.

"Tomorrow, the experimental No. 3 scientific research ship will set off. During this period, there will be no bad weather in the southern seas to complete the task as soon as possible." Wu Shengli said: "This scientific research ship will set off from Huating. Just in time, you will Then we can set off with the scientific research ship."

Qin Tao shook his head.

 “What, you don’t want to go?”

"I really want to go, but there's no need to be in such a hurry. That scientific research ship has a speed of more than ten knots and can only cover two to three hundred nautical miles in a day. It will take four or five days to reach the southern seas. Once the ship has passed Hainan Island, it’s not too late for me to board the ship.”

Qin Tao is very direct: "I am the boss of Mingzhou Group. I usually have a lot of things to do. How can I waste time on the road?"

These words made Wu Shengli speechless. It would definitely not work for Qin Tao to sit on the scientific research boat and sway slowly. Qin Tao said this just to spend a few more days with Zhao Ling in Huating, so this was due to lack of consideration on his part.

 “Okay, that’s up to you.”

“By the way, Dad, we have completed the design plan for the naval warships stationed at the Oriental Pearl Tower. When are you free, can we report back?”

Wu Shengli glanced at Qin Tao with dissatisfaction, "Huh, I assigned this task to you years ago, and you are just planning to report to me now. You don't take this seriously at all!"

"Some time ago, we have been busy with the defense exhibition. It is estimated that the leaders of the Navy do not have the time to listen." Qin Tao said, "So I won't bother you. After our continuous revisions during this period, the plan has been completely mature. , if you need..."

Wu Shengli remained silent.

"This kind of warship is not difficult. It can be built in our shipyard in less than a year. Therefore, it will definitely not delay our navy's entry into the Oriental Pearl Tower."

“Do you think you don’t want to do it if there is no design fee?”

 It turns out that the crux is here! Qin Tao smiled: "This kind of warship has no technical content at all. We only need a few young guys in our design department to complete it..."

"Practice? Okay, for a project that the Navy values ​​so much, how many young men did you find to practice?"

“Dad, please stop criticizing me. I mean, we don’t need the design fee.”

 “Huh, that’s pretty much it.”

Zhao Ling smoothed things over on the side: "Today's pickled pork with pickled vegetables is good. Eat it. Everyone, eat quickly. Are you hungry? The children in my belly are hungry."

"Yes, yes, eat quickly!" Zhao Xiu'e also urged.

Qin Tao's mind is the same as that of Ming Jing. Although the country has allocated more money to the navy in the past two years, the navy has also had more projects. Therefore, the money is never enough. As my father-in-law, he just wants to cheat and give less. Want some money? Can't you say it clearly?

The original 037 is the established equipment of the Oriental Pearl Navy. It is certainly impossible to allocate special funds for design fees. To put it bluntly, Mingzhou Group provides the design for free. If the superiors like it, they will order a few ships. If they don't like it, then Just for nothing.

Qin Tao doesn't care, the current Mingzhou Group doesn't like these three melons and two dates, but it doesn't make sense for his father-in-law to say this.

Of course, facing the pressure from his father-in-law, Qin Tao had no other temper and had to accept it with a smile, because he was Zhao Ling's father.

the next day.

At the port, the Experiment 3 marine scientific research vessel slowly left.

 The Experiment 3 marine scientific research ship was built in 1979 and delivered in 1981. It is an advanced scientific research ship.

It has advanced navigation and positioning systems, collision avoidance devices, Mark III temperature and salt depth detection systems, towed body systems, multi-bottle water collection systems, ocean optical multi-parameter measuring instruments, polarographs, 10,000-meter depth sounders, and 956-directional waves. Buoys, wave riders, plankton collectors, underwater television systems, benthic trawls and other comprehensive marine survey instruments and equipment.

In order to complete various scientific experiments, it also has a 3-ton crane, a 10-ton hydraulic mast and two large winches. The hull is also equipped with a set of large-scale observation equipment, which can continuously measure seawater temperature and salt content in the sea area it sails through. Degree, depth, automatically observe and record relevant data.

At the same time, this research ship also has a deep connection with the southern waters. In July 1984, June 1985, and April 1986, the Experiment 3 scientific research ship went to the southern waters and conducted three oceanographic surveys. Comprehensive scientific investigation, four more voyages of maritime investigation were conducted from 1987 to 1990.

 Hence, this inspection will not attract anyone’s extra attention.

Just after the research ship left, at the naval base in Huating, a group of naval officers were listening to the report of the Mingzhou Group.

Qin Tao has long been the hands-off shopkeeper, and this kind of reporting task is Yang Dawei's job.

"Let's look at the overall design first. It adopts a deep V and long bridge ship shape. This design not only has good seaworthiness, but also provides a larger hull space. The appearance adopts a stealth design, the hull is externally floated, and the superstructure It tilts inward to form a fold line that runs through the front and rear of the hull. After our detailed design, when it sails at high speed, the hull can be lifted to a certain extent, thereby reducing the draft area and reducing resistance."

Everyone nodded.

Even the 054 was only partially designed with stealth requirements in mind, but it did not have all the stealth capabilities. For example, when you look at the side of a warship, you can still see a variety of equipment.

 However, the warship in front of me has been completely wrapped on the sides, and it looks like a Lavante-class frigate, and also like a cruise ship.

Except for the two twin-mounted anti-ship missiles standing in front of the chimney, which looks a bit abrupt, everything else is smooth.

 Such a warship looks very beautiful from the outside.

"In terms of materials, in order to reduce weight, we decided to use aluminum alloy. We have had a lot of successful experience on the 022 missile boat. The entire hull of the warship is made of high-strength steel, especially the bow, which we will use Steel with a yield strength of 500 MPa.”

 “Why?” Someone asked the question: “In this case, I’m afraid it will increase the construction cost?”

 It’s just a thousand-ton frigate. Can this kind of material be used?

"It is very necessary. This kind of ship of ours is mainly used for offshore defense. In some tasks, it may be necessary to fight with the opponent's bayonet." Qin Tao then interjected.

This new type of frigate will not only be used by the garrison of the Oriental Pearl River, but will also replace other missile boats and light frigates in the future and become the main force of offshore patrols. However, when performing tasks and it is inconvenient to use weapons, then it is necessary Make impact.

Therefore, the bow of the ship needs to be made of high-strength materials. In the future, special collision angles can even be installed when necessary to see if the opponent is afraid of it.

Wu Shengli nodded: "This is a good idea."

Yang Dawei continued to introduce.

“As for its anti-aircraft missiles, we have deployed them in the rear. At present, the more suitable one is the Sea Sidewinder system.”

“Why not deploy in front like our current frigates?”

"With all due respect, it is not scientific to deploy in the front. When the missile is launched, the violent smoke will cause people on the bridge to lose their ability to observe in a short time, but in the rear, there will be no such impact. "Qin Tao continued to introduce: "Moreover, if it is deployed in the front, a lot of deck area will be wasted, and the bridge space behind us will be reduced. As you can see, the characteristic of our warship is that it is low. Only by increasing the The length of the superstructure can give enough space.”

Everyone nodded.

The design of this warship is subversive and completely different from the previous ones. However, after such analysis, the design is quite scientific.

 An hour passed and all the introductions were completed.

"The characteristic of this warship is that its air defense, anti-submarine, and anti-ship performance are relatively balanced. If we want to deliberately strengthen a certain function, we need to make corresponding improvements. In short, although this warship is specially designed for the Oriental Pearl Tower However, I believe that the navy will purchase a large number of such warships in the future, even hundreds of them. Our motherland has a long coastline and needs a large number of low-end warships to guard it."

“Hundreds of ships, how much does that cost?” someone couldn’t help but sigh.

"Everyone must believe in our motherland. In the future, our navy's funding will increase. Our navy must not only have a large number of high-performance warships, especially Aegis warships, but our navy must also have a large number of offshore patrol ships. There will definitely be a huge demand for this kind of warship."

"Yes." Wu Shengli nodded: "In the future, we will go to the ocean, but we must guard the door of our home. But for now, our order is just for one ship, and we will build it first for emergencies."

This cannot be said to be a secret operation of the Navy. After all, the plans submitted by various shipyards cannot be judged by them at all. This plan of Mingzhou Group is very satisfactory, so this can be regarded as a selection from thousands. of.

 Furthermore, as for the order for one ship, other shipyards can’t say much.

“This warship is very different from the previous warships. I think it can be given a new number. Now it’s 055’s turn, right?”

Hearing the words of the leader on the scene, Qin Tao quickly shook his head: "No, no, it's just this one, what number do you need? Just give it a name."

What is  055? A massive drive of 10,000 tons! If it turned into such a thousand-ton frigate, Qin Tao would feel very sorry.

 So, he strongly opposed it.

There is only one ship, why should we form a separate series?

Our frigates have been modified in so many styles, aren’t they all called 053? It’s just such a ship, does it need to be a big deal?

Wu Shengli stared at Qin Tao. Intuitively, he felt that Qin Tao had some special ideas. However, if he only built one ship now, it seemed that there was no need to form a separate series.

“Let’s talk about the numbering later.”

 Qin Tao breathed a sigh of relief.

The meeting was over, and the work for the day was over. Qin Tao planned to go find his wife again, but was stopped by Wu Shengli.

"Taozi, giving a brand new number should be something that will make your Mingzhou Group very proud." Wu Shengli said: "How could you refuse this number? Moreover, you also said that this kind of warship will be produced in the future. Hundreds of ships.”

"I think the number 055 is very good. It can be reserved for our 10,000-ton cruise ship in the future." Qin Tao said honestly: "In the future, when this offshore frigate needs to be built in large quantities, we can give it the number 056. Number, how about it?”

Wu Shengli looked at Qin Tao seriously, trying to see a hint of ridicule on Qin Tao's face, but he saw nothing.

"Why is the number 055 good? I think you are very picky. You think the number 056 is better, right?"

“Dad, it’s okay if you think so.” Qin Tao simply acquiesced. We just fell in love with the number 056, so what?

"By the way, at this defense exhibition, your group sold more than a dozen catamarans, the largest of which weighed more than a thousand tons, and were equipped with matching waterjet propellers. Do you have a plan?"

"In the contract, there is no requirement to use water jet propellers at all. Why should we go through all the trouble? If we use it ourselves, it must be water jet propellers. For foreign customers, propellers will do." After Qin Tao finished answering, he suddenly What came to mind: "We want it ourselves?"

“Our fishery administration department will indeed have this need in the future!”

"Then don't worry. After next year or the year after, maybe it will be available. Dad, is there anything else?"

Qin Tao left and continued to play the role of a husband who loves his wife.

Wu Shengli looked at Qin Tao's figure and smiled helplessly. It was rare for a group boss to be able to spare so much time to spend with his pregnant wife.

A few days later.

 The Experiment 3, with a displacement of more than 3,000 tons, has sailed to the southern seas.

From the appearance, it is somewhat similar to a cruise ship. There are three-story buildings on the upper part of the hull. However, it also carries a large number of scientific instruments, so the internal space is very small. At the same time, there is no helicopter landing platform.

On the bridge, the experienced captain Cao Yong said to his companions: "Old Chen, I just received the telegram that President Qin's helicopter will fly over soon. Our superiors asked us to prepare for President Qin's arrival. !”

“Originally we said we were going to go together, but Mr. Qin suddenly had something to do. Really, we don’t have a helicopter landing platform when we land on the ship. How will Mr. Qin get here? Are we going to prepare a lifeboat?”

On the scientific research ship, Chen Rong, the chief scientist of this mission and a senior engineer at the Institute of Oceanography, was a little worried.

"It said that Mr. Qin has experience and can climb down the rope ladder. We don't need to worry. After arriving, as long as we keep sailing smoothly, our bow has the largest space, so let Mr. Qin get down to the bow."

“Okay, then I’ll go to the bow to greet you.” Chen Rong said and walked off the bridge.

The deck on the bow of the ship is green, with a white observation mast standing there. The space here is not large. Chen Rong looked around with some worry. On the distant sea, a special ship attracted his attention.

The hull of that ship is very wide and sails extremely smoothly. There are two piece-like things on both sides of it, inserted into the water. Although it is somewhat similar to the catamaran of Mingzhou Group, it is not different.

"Quick, give me the telescope!" Chen Rong took the telescope from the team member on the side and adjusted the focus. In the field of view, the outline of the ship gradually became clearer. At this time, the opponent's stern happened to be facing him, and he could see something Something is falling into the sea.

“What is it doing? Is it launching a sonar buoy?” At this moment, Chen Rong’s face looked extremely ugly.
