Chapter 462 The real modification plan of the cruiser

  The night in St. Petersburg is beautiful.

  Standing in front of the window, Qin Tao admired the beautiful night, and Zheng Ming's voice came from behind him.

   "Boss Qin, will Da Mao agree to our request?"

   "It should be. After all, they want to repair the Moskva now, but they are short of money. We offer the best solution. They will refuse unless their brains are flooded."

Da Mao's biggest concern is leaking secrets, but with the purchase of the fourth ship of the Glory class, this concern is no longer necessary. Even if it is surveying and mapping, the blueprint of the entire warship can be restored, but the time consumed in this way will be reduced. longer.

  Since this is the case, what worries does Da Mao have? Those blueprints are no longer useful to them! Within ten years, it is impossible for them to start building new cruisers. After ten years, with the development of technology, the original design drawings are also outdated.

   "What if Damao wants to build a warship of the same type in the future?" Zheng Ming asked.

  Qin Tao smiled: "Impossible, they will never be able to build the same type of warship."

   Never possible?

   Zheng Ming's eyes widened in surprise, Mr. Qin's words are too absolute, right?

Qin Tao smiled: "If they want to build a large warship, they must have an engine. The gas turbine used for the ship is on Ermao's side. On Damao's side, they must either burn boilers or install nuclear reactors. These are quite expensive. Damao does not have this strength. Wait until In the future, if Da Mao wants to build a large warship, he may have to buy our gas turbines, or ask us to help build them."

  Zheng Ming was thinking about Qin Tao's words. The content it described was too shocking.

   If Da Mao wants to build, he has to ask his own side for help? That picture is unimaginable.

   "Of course, we also have to have a plan. Tomorrow, let's visit someone."

  Visiting a person?

   Zheng Ming asked curiously: "Who?"

   "The chief designer of the Type 1164 destroyer, Mutisin."

   Zheng Ming's eyes lit up.

  Type 1164 cruiser is considered a difficult birth monster for Lao Maozi. It has been designed since 1972. First, the experienced director Perkov personally took command, and then Mutisin served as the chief designer.

   The design took several years, and the construction was even more complicated. The first Glory took six years to reach service status, which is almost the same as the heavy aircraft cruiser.

A few years ago, Mutisin had already retired and stayed at home. Like many people in this era, the days of retirement at home were not leisurely. Due to the recession of the country’s economy, their pensions were often in arrears. Do you know if people like Mutisin live by selling medals?

   "Boss Qin, we have found out that after Mutisin retired, he drove a taxi." Xu Zhengyang ran over and said to Qin Tao.

   "Being a taxi driver? This is a good opportunity." Qin Tao said: "We go out tomorrow, can we get his taxi?"

  Xu Zhengyang hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Arrange it, there is still no problem."

The morning sun shines on the streets of St. Petersburg. Numerous spiers cast long shadows, which seem to be full of quaint atmosphere. For a long time, this place has existed as the capital of Da Mao. Therefore, Although the current situation is turbulent, it is still very prosperous here.

  Taxis are driving on the streets of the city. If the city is compared to a giant, the streets are its blood vessels. These taxis are like blood cells in the blood vessels that are responsible for transporting substances.

   "Taxi, taxi!" Seeing someone waving, Mutisin skillfully turned on the turn signal, and then stopped on the side of the road.

   Several oriental faces got into his taxi.

   "Master, go to the Northern Design Bureau."

Hearing the familiar name, Mutisin's thoughts moved, but he still didn't say much. After all, he had nothing to do with the place, and it was not easy to live there. How could he have the nerve to ask for salary? Active, but also earn money to support themselves.

  These people didn't pay attention to him, and after they came up, they talked on their own.

In order for Mutisin to understand, of course several people spoke Russian, this is the only loophole, however, how could Mutisin consider this, when these people spoke the first sentence, he was shocked arrive.

  "The Type 1164 destroyer must undergo a major modification. All superstructures will be cut off, and only one hull will remain. Wouldn't this be more convenient?"

   "Not too good, such a waste is too serious!"

   "If it can't be broken, it can't be built. We cut off the upper layer directly, and they can easily transport it back and install it on the Moskva. Anyway, what we want is that hull."

   "I don't know if the rigidity is enough. If we cut off the upper deck together, will the lower hull be deformed?"

   "It won't deform." When Mutisin heard this, he couldn't bear it anymore, and started talking.

"Why?"

   "Because the hull standard of this cruiser is designed according to the climate conditions of the Atlantic Ocean, as long as the hull is erected at the keel, it can be dismantled or modified."

   "How do you know?"

   "Because I am the designer of this cruiser."

   "What? Are you the designer? I heard that the designer of this warship is Mr. Mutisin. He is the most powerful designer of surface ships in Da Mao. How could he come here to rent out?"

  Hearing this, Mutisin felt very uncomfortable.

   "Yeah, how can I come and drive a taxi?"

   "Be careful!" The passenger yelled, and Mutisin stepped on the brakes quickly to avoid a rear-end collision with the car in front that stopped and waited for the traffic light.

"Are you really Mr. Mutisin? Driving a taxi here is a waste of talents." The people in the car began to introduce themselves: "I am Qin from Dongfang Mingzhou Group, would you like to continue working on the design of warships?" ? I can give you a high enough salary."

  Mingzhou Group?

Of course Mutisin has heard of it. The Mingzhou Group is quite famous in the circle. This group has done a lot of business with Da Mao. The Kilo-level and Hyundai-level have shadows of their Mingzhou Group. The Varyag a few months ago.

  Thinking of this, Mutisin was extremely excited, but soon he calmed down again.

   "I'm old, what else can I do?"

"No, at your age, you are still in the golden stage. You have rich design experience. If you have an idea, you can go to our east. Now, we have purchased the fourth ship of the Glory class, and we need to carry out research on this warship Improve. We need your help."

   "Type 1164 cruiser? You already bought Ermao's warship?" Just now, he was confused, but now he finally understands.

"Yes, now, that warship has left the Tuji Strait and moved to the Mediterranean Sea." Qin Tao said: "There are many things on it that we don't need, and we will definitely make some improvements. We need someone like you." designer."

   "We believe that under your hands, this warship will definitely gain new life, and it has stronger combat capabilities than the prototype. Your hands are not driving a taxi, you should be holding a drawing pen."

  The car stopped silently on the side of the road.

   Mutisin's body was trembling slightly. He didn't know whether he was laughing or crying. His eyes started to turn red, and his voice was trembling.

   "Do you really think I'm still useful as a bad old man?"

   "Of course, if you go to our east, you may still see many old friends."

   "Okay, I'm willing to go." Mutisin said: "I haven't touched the drawing board for a long time, and I miss that feeling very much."

   "In this case, you may have to adapt to it for a while. Our place is already full of computer graphics."

  On the road in St. Petersburg, Qin Tao tricked Mutisin over. This operation was too slippery, which made Zheng Ming very emotional.

  With the designer of this Glorious-class warship, even if there is no design drawing, they can still carry out the transformation.

   As for the design drawings, there are not too many problems.

   Another day passed, and when the three-day deadline Qin Tao mentioned was still the last day, Shishkin had already returned.

   "President Qin, Moscow has agreed. However, we also have a request."

"any request?"

"We asked to send someone to follow." Shishkin said: "We need to count the equipment you dismantled immediately, and then put them in a special warehouse. After everything is dismantled, we will use the ship Transport it back."

   This is because they are afraid that the things that Qin Tao and the others dismantled will not be handed over to Da Mao!

  Qin Tao smiled: "Of course there is no problem. Who do you plan to send over? This person should be an experienced designer."

  Shishkin nodded: "Yes, this person must be an experienced person who knows all the equipment above."

  Shishkin was worried about this candidate.

   "Who is the chief designer of this warship? Can't you invite him over?"

   "The Chief Designer has retired."

   "It's easier to retire, just hire them back directly, just hire them as temporary workers."

  Shishkin nodded: "Well, I heard that Mr. Mutisin's life after retirement is not good, so he can be paid an extra salary, but I don't know if Mr. Mutisin is willing to go to the East."

   "Mr. Mutisin? He is very famous! Let's invite him!"

  Qin Tao immediately patted his chest: "Even if our Mingzhou Group pays him an extra salary, we must invite him!"

   In this way, Mutisin received two salaries and had a perfectly reasonable excuse to go to the East. Of course, he never came back after this trip. Only the disassembled parts came back. There were so many parts that the Moskva could be repaired almost without buying new parts, so Da Mao couldn't pursue anything. It's going to rain and my mother is going to get married. Mutisin has fallen in love with Dongfang and wants to stay in Dongfang, that's his freedom.

  After the matter was completed, the An-225 transport plane of the Mingzhou Group flew over, loaded all the materials on the plane, and returned to the East together with Qin Tao and others.

  In Huating, Qin Tao received a warm welcome again.

   "Boss Qin is on the move, one is worth two."

   "What is the top two, it can directly hold up half the sky."

   "That's right, when we bought the Four King Kongs back then, if there was Mr. Qin, it would definitely be much cheaper."

  The compliments from the big guys are beyond words.

   "Everyone, let me take a break first, and report formally tomorrow, okay?" Qin Tao said to everyone.

  Big guy originally had a lot of questions waiting to be asked, but seeing Qin Tao's expression, he knew he couldn't ask any more.

   Others can't ask, but there is one person, Qin Tao can't refuse.

  On the way home, Wu Shengli said: "We didn't intend to buy it back. Who would have thought that we would buy it back. This is really unintentional."

  Qin Tao nodded: "I just ran into a pig opponent. If they didn't send the seal team over, we wouldn't be able to succeed."

  The most important thing is that the SEALs bombed the cruiser in the past, which completely aroused Ermao's disgust, otherwise things would definitely not go so smoothly.

  Wu Shengli nodded: "Yes, this is God's blessing, by the way, this warship is back, how do you plan to change it?"

   "Didn't you say we'll talk about it tomorrow?"

   "You boy, don't be a fool, anyway, it's fine in the car, so let's talk about it."

   "The idea of ​​the arsenal ship is to fool the West. We must not build it into an arsenal ship with only missiles and data links. Even if it is to carry more missiles, it must be like the Kirov class."

   Many people also classify the Kirov class as an arsenal ship. This kind of warship with a full load displacement of more than 25,000 tons has 500 anti-aircraft, anti-submarine, anti-ship and other types of missiles.

  However, it also has an advanced electronic system and can fight with a single warship. This ability is absolutely absent in the concept of an arsenal ship proposed by Qin Tao.

   Until now, Qin Tao still has an unreal feeling that he actually bought this warship back.

  Wu Shengli is still waiting for Qin Tao to continue. Who would have thought that his son-in-law has changed the subject: "Which fleet is this warship planned to belong to? Do you have the hull number and ship name?"

"All three fleets want it." Wu Shengli said: "The northern fleet said they wanted to protect the capital, but the two 051C ships were not capable enough. The eastern fleet said they already had two modern-class ships, which happened to be the same as the glorious class." Matching together, they are all old men’s, which is convenient for logistics supplies. The southern fleet is crying. Up to now, they have not had a decent warship. Although 054 is good, it is only a frigate after all. They want a warship with a larger displacement. .”

   Everyone likes good things, but after all, there is only one, so all three fleets want it, which is a headache for the leaders.

   "Since you want them all, let's draw lots." Qin Tao said.

   Draw lots?

  Wu Shengli was a little speechless. Isn't this way too childish?

   Right at this moment, the car stopped and it was already home!

  So, Wu Shengli still didn't ask anything, and slept all night aggrieved. The next day, in the conference room of the Huating Naval Base, the meeting on the cruiser's transformation plan officially started.

"First of all, let us give warm applause to welcome Mr. Mutisin, who is the chief designer of the Type 1164 cruiser and is very familiar with this kind of warship. Therefore, he will be the chief designer of this warship transformation. "

Since Mutisin did not understand Chinese, he specially arranged a translator beside him. At this time, when he heard the translated words, Mutisin was surprised: "No, no, I just came here. I’m not familiar with the situation, I can’t take on this mission, we can be the technical consultant of the modification, but definitely not the chief teacher!”

After all, Mutisin had only just come here, and he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility. This kind of treatment made him very satisfied, and he felt like he would die for his confidant. division.

   "Mr. Mutisin, don't worry. Since we have made such an appointment, we can rest assured of you. When you set foot on our land, we are already a family." Qin Tao said.

   Mutisin was so moved that he almost cried, this is the death of a scholar for his confidant! But at the same time, he also knew in his heart that he was new here, so he absolutely couldn't take on this important task.

  Thus, Mutisin refused three times, and Qin Tao could only regret it: "Well, if this is the case, then you will come to be our technical consultant, and Yang Dawei will be the chief teacher."

Yang Dawei also came from Mingzhou yesterday to attend this meeting. Although he didn't have detailed information at hand, after the purchase was confirmed a few days ago, Yang Dawei was collecting all the information he could find and started researching in advance. Moreover, this kind of thing It was Qin Tao who came up with the general framework, and he didn't need to have too much psychological pressure.

   At this moment, upon hearing Qin Tao's words, Yang Dawei nodded: "Well, please rest assured, leaders, we will definitely live up to our trust and complete this design task."

"Then, first, we will give you a brief introduction from the first design office of Mingzhou Group. During the introduction, if you encounter any problems, you are welcome to interrupt his speech at any time by Mr. Mutisin, and then propose a better improvement plan. .” Qin Tao said.

  All the naval leaders present nodded, and Mutisin also nodded: "Then I will not be polite."

"First of all, because our navy lacks air defense capabilities the most, we must strengthen the air defense capabilities on this warship. Wherever we can change, we should mainly add air defense missiles." Yang Dawei introduced: "We have After careful study, the air search radar of the Glory-class cruiser is the same as that of the Kirov-class, but only one top-shield fire control radar is installed in the most important area air defense capability, so its multi-target interception capability , only half of the Kirov class, seriously lacking omnidirectional interception capabilities, especially within the range of 60 degrees of the bow, which is a dead angle."

"During the time of the Red Empire, this was not a problem, because according to the original plan, 21 Type 1164 cruisers were to be built." Mutisin immediately added: "Although there is only one canopy radar, in actual combat If several formations fight together, this problem will be solved. Of course, if there is only one formation, it is indeed a problem."

   This top cover fire control radar is to guide the most important S-300 missile on the warship. The Kirov class has one at the front and one at the front and back, without any occlusion, and can fully take care of the omnidirectional vision, but the Glory class cannot.

"The easiest way is to install another top cover fire control radar of the same type on the front of the bridge of this warship. However, this kind of radar has a huge volume and weight, so it is not easy to install, and it may not be able to The related companies of Damao have ordered it." Yang Dawei continued to introduce.

It is true to say that Lao Maozi’s warships are full of violent aesthetics. The Glory class embodies this point. The anti-ship missiles placed on both sides are tilted, the huge orange petal radar antenna on the top, and the helicopter hangar behind. That giant fire control radar on top.

   This thing is like an ice cream cone with an ice cream ball added, but it is released horizontally. The spherical radar radome has a diameter of four meters. It is conceivable how huge it is.

  Qin Tao frowned suddenly. He already had a premonition that Yang Dawei's ideas might be more radical than his own.

"This is a 10,000-ton cruiser, we must make this cruiser have the strongest combat capability." Yang Dawei said: "So, let's simply remove the S-300 missiles on it and use our own Red Flag IX! On the bridge, install a four-sided phased array radar, so that the warship will directly have omnidirectional air defense capabilities!"

   Sure enough, there are too many 052C designs, this is poisoning, Qin Tao sighed in his heart.

  Recently, Mingzhou Group's No. 1 Design Office is mainly working on the design of the 052C destroyer, waiting for the navy's bidding. This is a four-sided phased array radar warship with the best regional air defense capability.

  Yang Dawei and the others will of course transplant the design of this destroyer.

   "Four-sided phased array radar? Do you have this technology?" Mutisin was obviously the most shocked at this time.

   "Yes, our related technology is gradually developing and maturing. Now, we have designed our own area air defense destroyer based on this technology. Now, we hope that this system can be used on cruisers."

   Under Mutisin's surprised eyes, Yang Dawei opened the PPT.

  Is this honorable?

  From the front to the back, there is almost no shadow of the honorary class coming!

  The upper deck was almost completely emptied, and even a certain inclination treatment was carried out. The helicopter platform at the tail was leveled, and the entire warship looked like a brand new one.

  The bridge is also transplanted from the 052C bridge. The four-sided phased array radar looks really exciting!

"Let's take a look at the top view first." Yang Dawei said: "We plan to remove all the second deck at the front of the bridge. The space here can be filled with 8 eight-unit launchers. In cooperation, the entire warship has 128 long-range area air defense missiles. Let it have the most powerful area air defense capability..."

   There are 128 long-range anti-aircraft missiles alone! This design immediately shocked everyone present.

   "No, the lower second deck at that location also acts as a reinforcing rib, so the lower deck cannot be hollowed out." Mutisin spoke suddenly, and this sentence poured cold water on everyone.
