Chapter 503 Proposal for National Defense Lottery (First Update)

 At present, domestic welfare lotteries and sports lotteries have developed prosperously.

In December 1986, the civil affairs department put forward a "Request for Instructions on Carrying out Prize-winning Fundraising Activities for Social Welfare." The next year, this project was officially approved and became the "China Social Welfare Fundraising Voucher with Prizes" to raise social welfare funds and develop Social welfare undertakings with the main content of "taking care of the elderly, supporting the young, assisting the disabled and relieving the poor". It was officially released that year.

 After that, the organization changed several times and finally became the “China Welfare Lottery”.

 Another sports lottery started earlier. In 1984, a southern province wanted to build a sports center in the provincial capital, but had no money, so it simply issued the "** Provincial Sports Center Construction Commemorative Lottery". The next year, the "Sixth National Games" ticket package came out.

In the 1990s, football began to become popular. In 1994, the "National Sports Commission Sports Lottery Management Center" was established to coordinate the issuance and management of sports lottery. The sports lottery is now online.

 There can be welfare lotteries and sports lotteries, but why can’t there be national defense lotteries?

 Compared to the so-called welfare undertakings, and compared to the sports chaos that keeps losing, shouldn’t the national defense industry be more supported?

Many people responded. Some people said that the funds for issuing lottery tickets must be strictly supervised. The national defense industry is confidential, so it cannot be issued. This kind of answer can only make people laugh. Supervision? Hahaha.

 Compared with the so-called welfare and sports, national defense is the most important. Without strong national defense, there will be no national stability. If there is no stable environment, how can we talk about development?

 Furthermore, the "sports patriotism" that some people talk about so brazenly is not reliable at all. You can look at the so-called sports people who moved China. What happened next? Didn’t everyone get a green card from a foreign country and give birth to their children directly in Europe and the United States? They enjoy all the glory, make enough money at home, and then go abroad to live happily.

 Let’s look at the military workers. They work incognito and work **** research and development, and finally achieve a strong military industry!

 It’s just that there is no precedent for the national defense lottery. Qin Taocai said that this is an alternative method. In fact, it is a crooked way. As for whether the navy can pass it or whether the country can approve it, I don’t know. This is just a suggestion of his.

"Of course, there are similar methods. For example, you can ask your superiors to distribute part of the profits earned from welfare lottery and sports lottery to national defense. The Navy can also organize some specialized personnel to go out and hold some small draws. "As long as we visit the counties and cities in the wealthy coastal areas, we will have all the funds to build aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships."

Wu Shengli had a wry smile on his face. Qin Tao was very powerful and could think of all kinds of ways, but...

 The military is not allowed to do business. This is an iron rule. Does issuing a lottery count as doing business?

“I will report your proposal to the superiors and let everyone study it to see if it is feasible.” Wu Shengli said.

“Leader Wu, the plane has organized passengers to board the plane.” At this moment, a subordinate came to Wu Shengli and said.

"Time flies so fast. I've been talking for more than two hours without realizing it." Wu Shengli looked at his watch: "I'm leaving, so you should go and do it. Don't worry about things at home. The ocean is pretty good too."

 Is this a case of not letting anyone control it?

This is to remind Qin Tao that it’s time to go home and have a look. Don’t keep running back and forth and forgetting home!

 “Yes. Dad, I’ll send you off.”

The plane that Wu Shengli was going to take was on the tarmac next door. The two of them continued to chat as they walked.

"The Mingzhou power plant is almost under construction, and it should be put into use by the end of the year. Your Mingzhou Group will become an energy export company in the future." Wu Shengli said with a smile: "Add in oil imports and the like, 豼Our business is increasing.”

“The power plant is about to be built? This is really good news.” Qin Tao said.

“Yes, when the time comes, we will send some people over to observe, and relevant units will also send people, so your future operating costs will be almost zero.”

 The construction of a nuclear power plant costs a huge amount of money, and it also costs a lot to build and operate. After all, there is a big gap in wages between engineers at a nuclear power plant and engineers at a thermal power plant, and the labor costs are different.

However, the Mingzhou Group does not need to worry. Since the nuclear reactor was originally intended for use by nuclear submarines, technical personnel from the Navy and related nuclear reactors will be stationed there to monitor the operation of the nuclear reactor.

In this way, Mingzhou Group does not need to spend any money. At most, it will only provide some accommodation and food.

At this time, Qin Tao's heart has almost flown to Mingzhou. He can't wait for the nuclear power plant to be put into operation immediately. The current Mingzhou Group's power consumption per day is astronomical!

However, after sending his father-in-law to the plane, Qin Tao still asked Xu Zhengyang to drive him home.

Let’s go home and take a look first.

 Qin Haiyang was lying on the stroller, blowing bubbles and playing by himself. His mother-in-law smiled beside him and said, "Taozi, you don't have to worry about home. Everything is fine here. Just go and do what you should be busy with."

 “Well, where is Xiaoling?”

“Xiao Ling has been busy at work recently, and it seems that their project has reached the final stage.”

Qin Tao nodded. He knew that the development of the Hongqi-16 missile was divided into three steps. At the beginning, it was just to successfully imitate the Schikili system and solve the problem of availability. After that, vertical launch was considered a big step. progress.

 The second step is to optimize the ballistics and increase the range from 20 kilometers to 40 kilometers. This is also Zhao Ling's main job.

 The third part is to improve the performance of the rocket engine and further expand the range to 60 or 70 kilometers to fill the firepower window of Red Flag Nine.

Xiaoling is busy all day now. On the one hand, it is because Haiyang is growing up day by day and needs less time from her mother. Xiaoling can focus on work. On the other hand, it is also because this transformation has also been completed. The critical moment has come.

 After teasing the children at home for two or three hours, Qin Tao looked at the clock on the wall and finally shook his head: "I'll go to Xiaoling's work to have a look."

 Which is more important, wife or children? This is an unanswerable multiple-choice question. If we add the progress of weapons, it can be answered.

 Of course I have to check out the development progress of the Hongqi-16 missile!

In the past few years, Qin Tao often picked up his wife from get off work, and became familiar with the concierge. Over the past few years, the old concierge has not changed, he is still the same person. He greeted Qin Tao warmly and let Qin Tao in. .

Originally, the chief designer of Hongqi-16 was Mr. Zhang. Later, Zhao Ling stood out and became the actual person in charge of the project. It was just because it was inconvenient to have children, so Mr. Zhang was still behind to protect him.

By the time Qin Tao came in, Zhao Ling was holding a meeting with technical backbones. Mr. Zhang was sitting aside to attend the meeting and confidently let Zhao Ling take the lead.

“The day of test launch is getting closer and closer. We must attach great importance to it and go through the whole process again. All possible problems must be carefully considered, and there must be no accidents..."

When she said this, she noticed that everyone's eyes turned to the door strangely, so she glanced away, and saw that familiar figure.

 Brother Tao is here?

 Zhao Ling's originally serious face immediately turned into a smile.

"Mr. Qin, welcome, come and sit next to me." Mr. Zhang stood up and greeted.

Hongqi-16 is a key national defense project, but it is no secret to Qin Tao. After all, he was the one who promoted this project. Almost everyone present admired Qin Tao.

Zhao Ling also said hello: "Yes, come to our meeting."

“Well, then you continue.” Qin Tao sat down and looked at his wife.

After giving birth, Zhao Ling's body was not out of shape. She was still as slender as before, but she also had a charm that only mature women have. She looked so alluring. Qin Tao felt some desire in her body. Slowly recovering.

“Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin?” Mr. Zhang’s voice came from the side.

Qin Tao then reacted: "Huh?"

“Gong Zhao just mentioned, can the aircraft carrier we are refitting be equipped with the Hongqi-16 missile system?”

"Oh." Qin Tao's face became serious: "The most important function of an aircraft carrier is to operate carrier-based aircraft. Other functions are left to the attached warships. We cannot follow the path of heavy-duty aircraft-carrying cruisers like Lao Maozi. At present, In the repair plan, there is no setting to carry the Hongqi-16 missile, as long as it is equipped with the Haihongqi-7 and 730 close-in defense guns."

There is no eighteen-unit Haihongqi-10 yet, so we can only use Haihongqi-7 to make up the number. In fact, if these weapons are really used, it means that the naval battle has become extremely cruel.

 In fierce sea battles, the warships escorting the aircraft carrier must use their own hulls as shields for the aircraft carrier at critical moments. If the aircraft carrier is facing imminent danger, it only means that all the surrounding warships escorting it are already heroic.

 The Hongqi-16 system is too large and not suitable for aircraft carriers to carry.

"Okay, let's introduce the missiles carried by No. 138." Zhao Ling said: "Currently, our Hongqi-16A has been developed and is waiting for the final test launch. Therefore, we plan to equip No. 138 with this missile." An improved missile expands the medium-range air defense capability of this warship to more than 40 kilometers."

In addition to 054, it is the 10,000-ton destroyer that Qin Tao built. It is currently undergoing intensive transformation. It was originally intended to carry a large number of Hongqi-16 missiles. However, now that it has caught up with this When the time comes, it is natural to directly carry out the Hongqi-16A missile in one step.

"Well, our shipyard fully supports this project." Qin Tao has no doubts about this project. If the modified version can be used, of course the original version will not be used. Even the first few 054s launched must be improved and upgraded accordingly. .

“Okay, then we have to contact the Mingzhou Group to complete the missile modification work. We promise not to delay the modification period of the 138th ship.”

“Okay, let’s go back to Mingzhou together.”

Zhao Ling rolled her eyes at Qin Tao dissatisfied. With so many people watching, I am the person in charge of the missile project now, not your wife!

Qin Tao reacted: "We will also go with a group of your technical staff. We will work together to complete the transformation without affecting the progress."

The meeting was finally over. Zhao Ling looked at everyone: "Everyone has been too tired recently. Let's stop here today. You can get off work."

There were meaningful expressions on everyone's faces. Zhao Ling walked out without looking at their faces.

Qin Tao followed, and when he was out of everyone's sight, he took his wife's hand: "Let's go home."

　　When a long drought brings nectar, you have to eat a lot after being hungry for a long time.

The next day, while Qin Tao was still sleeping in bed, Zhao Ling had quietly gotten up, fed Qin Haiyang, squeezed out some for Qin Haiyang as dry food, and then hurried to work.

 After Qin Tao woke up, he could no longer see his wife.

"Mr. Qin, are you going back to Mingzhou today?" Xu Zhengyang came to pick up Qin Tao and asked him.

“Don’t worry, we’ll stay in Huating for a few days now, and then we’ll go back together.” After Qin Tao finished speaking, he looked at Xu Zhengyang: “Is there any work here that I need to inspect?”

Xu Zhengyang understood and immediately found a reason for Qin Tao: "Of course there are many. You have already reported the amphibious assault ship project to Leader Wu. Next, you can ask our second design department to help design a similar amphibious assault ship. , we can take it out at any time when the navy needs it. In our machinery factory, we have recently made great progress in overcoming the technical difficulties of the lift fan. The most critical clutch has already made great progress. Also, we have created a CNC bending plate. prototype of the machine.”

 The prototype is out?

Qin Tao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Let's go to Huating University."

“The prototype is in our machinery factory.” Xu Zhengyang said: “After all, Huating University is only responsible for software, and our machinery factory is responsible for producing hardware.”

Qin Tao nodded: "Okay, then go to the machinery factory."

The original Huating Second Water Pump Factory almost closed down. Later, Mingzhou Group took over and produced advanced water jet propellers, and finally got out of the predicament. Later, the product types became more and more diverse, and the equipment of large dredgers were all It's produced here.

 Speaking of precision machining capabilities, this place ranks first.

Over the years, Zhao Changshui has been leading the machinery factory. He has gone from an ordinary welder to a factory director who is now in charge of his own job and cannot let Qin Tao worry about him. He has also experienced a lot. At this time, he is wearing a suit and leather shoes and can no longer be seen. The image of the welder is now the same as that of a successful entrepreneur.

 “Uncle Zhao, you’re quite handsome.” When Qin Tao saw Zhao Changshui, he couldn’t help but tease him.

"Mr. Qin, please stop teasing me." Zhao Changshui said: "This Nine Wolf suit was purchased when we distributed benefits to the workers at the end of the year. One suit for each person, but the big guys only wear it when they have activities. To participate, I usually wear work clothes, but this suit and tie is too uncomfortable.”

 Qin Tao looked at the logo of the Nine Wolf suit, and the smile on his face became even brighter: "You guys are rich! I'm giving you a New Year's bonus, and it's actually the number one men's clothing brand in the country!"

“Mr. Qin, the internal price is only 30% of the tag price. Okay, let’s go in quickly. The technicians from Huating University are still debugging the machine and plan to give you a demonstration.”

 Qin Tao nodded.

"According to the original arrangement, Huating University will complete the CNC part, and our machinery factory is responsible for the mechanical part. The most critical square plate pressure head adjustable flexible mold on this bending machine is the key. We have done a lot of After trying it, its processing problem was solved.”

 “Is this complicated?”

"Yes, each square plate must form a corresponding curved surface, and each movable square plate must have a fixed angle. We initially wanted to use a hydraulic system to control it, but this greatly increased the complexity of the system. In the end , we used the motor solution.”

While talking, everyone has arrived at the R&D workshop, where a machine has begun to take shape.

 It is a prototype, so the scale has been reduced. Compared with that large-scale bending machine, it can only press steel with an area of ​​one square meter, and it is completely used for experimental technology.

"If we want it to accurately control the bending plate, we need to reduce the area of ​​the movable head square plate. The smaller it is, the more accurate it is. But at the same time, this also means that the number of hydraulically adjustable legs we need will increase. In order to carry out As a compromise, we finally determined that the area of ​​each movable square plate is one square decimeter. Such an area requires one hundred legs."

Qin Tao nodded. He only provided design ideas, and the rest was decided by his technical staff. He never paid attention to such technical details, and his staff could also complete the task.

The machine at this time looks like a big mouth from the side, with two rows of legs up and down, as dense as the teeth in the mouth. If you can get in and look, you can see a hundred small squares, neatly arranged. .

“Professor Hu, Professor Hu, Mr. Qin is here!” At this time, there were many people working around the machine, and Zhao Changshui called out to one of them.

"Hello, Mr. Qin, my name is Hu Yong. I specialize in CNC at Huating University. I led my students to build the CNC part of this system. Now, everyone is still doing the final debugging." Hu Yong asked Qin Tao stretched out his hand, only to find that there were a lot of oil stains on his hand. Just as he was about to wipe it off, Qin Tao had already held it.

“Professor Hu, thank you for your help.” Qin Tao said: “To develop science and technology in the future, we must take the path of integrating factories and schools. We will cooperate more in the future.”

Hu Yong was very moved. He took out his hand and went to find toilet paper to wipe it with Qin Tao. Qin Tao smiled and waved his hand: "I am not a clean person. I used to be covered in oil all day long in the shipyard. This is the sign of a laborer." Well, how is the debugging going now?"

 “It’s almost done, it’ll be ready soon.”

Debugging is also very difficult, because after debugging each leg and the live head on the leg, there are two hundred of them. Moreover, this is still a prototype. When the finished machine is manufactured in the future, the area will be expanded many times. By that time, the workload will increase exponentially.

"Is there any way to debug it all at once?" Qin Tao said: "For example, if a laser beam is fired, the living heads in a row can be adjusted together."

"Well, we can do it in the future. It's just a prototype now. In order to avoid accidents, we still have to adjust them one by one, so we can feel more at ease."

Since they are responsible for the CNC part, of course adjustment is also their job, which requires slow work and careful work.

 Half an hour later, the adjustment was completed.

“Mr. Qin, we can start the trial operation. You can choose a component for us to process.” Hu Yong said excitedly.

choose one?

Qin Tao thought for a while: "Then let's make a bulbous bow."

 The bulbous bow! Coming up is the most difficult one!

Ordinary hull steel plates only need to be slightly bent. Although the bend angle is the largest at the bow, it is two steel plates welded together, and the arc is actually smaller.

There is only the bulbous bow, as you can tell from the name, this thing is in the shape of a hemisphere, like a nose, and bending it is the most technically difficult thing.

In the shipyard, only experienced masters operating the hydraulic press and pressing it hundreds of times can make this kind of device.

Of course, this is only for civilian ships, which use thin steel plates. After using the bulbous bow, the fuel consumption can be reduced by about 10%, which is very important.

 For warships, this is not the case.

The bulbous bow of a warship is not only to save fuel, but also to place sonar there. In order to allow the bulb to transmit sound, special materials are used, and the inside of the bulb is also filled with liquid. , so that the sound can pass through. (It is not certain that it is filled with liquid. I saw some information saying so. It may not necessarily be sea water, but may be other special liquids.)

This bulbous bow is just equivalent to a deflector, which is a fragile can. Take the deflector of a domestic aircraft carrier as an example. It is made of titanium alloy, with a diameter of eight meters and a thickness of only 0.7 mm.

 It is of course very easy to process this kind of bulbous bow.

However, the bulbous bow of a civilian ship is made of thin steel plates. There is no need to use sonar. It is just to reduce wave making and reduce the resistance encountered by the underwater part of the hull during navigation.

“Okay, let’s give it a try.” Hu Yong said, “Move over the three-dimensional drawings and process a small bulbous bow.”

 “Put a steel plate two centimeters thick.” Qin Tao said.

 Increased difficulty again! Two centimeters thick!

In the process of lifting the steel plate, the machine started to move, the upper and lower legs began to move, and the square plate pressure head also changed. Soon, the bottom turned into a sunken spherical pit, and the top was convex. a ball.

 The steel plates were put on and fixed.

 “Attention, start the machine!”

The lower part remained motionless, and the upper legs began to descend simultaneously, as if a ball was slowly descending, and finally came into contact with the steel plate.

 “The oil pressure is stable.”

 “Progress slowly!”

The steel plate made a creaking sound and slowly deformed.

 Everyone’s eyes looked over, full of expectation.

 The upper part continues to descend, slowly and forcefully.

 Ten minutes later.

 “Suppression completed, separation initiated!”

The upper legs began to rise, and the big mouth opened again. It was clearly visible that the inside of the flat steel plate had turned into a sphere!

"Measurement!"

This is not over yet. The steel plate is elastic. Will it rebound after being pressed? What's the error? These require further measurement.

“Measurement completed, and the design error remains below 0.1%!”

 It’s done?

 It’s done!
