Chapter 503: Defense Lottery Proposal (First Update)

  Chapter 503 Proposal for National Defense Lottery (First update)

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

In December 1986, the Ministry of Civil Affairs put forward the "Request for Instructions on Carrying out Social Welfare Award-raising Fundraising Activities." In the second year, this project was officially approved and became the "China Social Welfare Award-raising Fundraising Voucher" to raise social welfare funds and develop Social welfare undertakings with "care for the elderly, help the young, help the disabled, and help the poor" are the main content. It was officially released that year.

   Afterwards, the organization underwent several changes and finally became the "China Welfare Lottery".

   Another kind of sports lottery started earlier. In 1984, a certain province in the south wanted to build a sports center in the provincial capital, but had no money, so they simply issued the "Commemorative Tickets for the Construction of ** Provincial Sports Center". In the second year, the "Sixth National Games" package came out.

   Entering the 1990s, football became popular. In 1994, the "National Sports Commission Sports Lottery Management Center" was established to coordinate and arrange the issuance and management of sports lottery. The sports lottery is here.

  If there are welfare lotteries and sports lotteries, why can’t there be national defense lotteries?

  Compared to the so-called welfare undertakings and the chaotic sports that keep losing, shouldn’t the national defense cause be more supported?

  Many people answered. Some people said that when issuing lottery tickets, the funds must be strictly supervised, and the national defense industry is confidential, so it cannot be issued. This kind of answer can only make people laugh out loud, supervision? Hehehe.

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

  Besides, some people's brazen "sports patriotism" is not reliable at all. You can look at some of the so-called sportsmen who moved China. What happened later? 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 enjoyed all the glory, made enough money at home, and went abroad to enjoy themselves.

  Look at the military workers again. They kept their names incognito and worked hard in research and development, and finally realized a strong military industry!

   It’s just that there is no precedent for such a national defense lottery. Qin Tao said that this is an alternative method.

"Of course, there are similar methods. For example, ask the superiors to allocate part of the profits earned by the welfare lottery and sports lottery to national defense. The Navy can also organize some specialized personnel to go out and engage in some small lottery draws. , As long as you visit the counties and cities in the wealthy coastal areas, all the funds for building aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships will be collected.”

  Wu Shengli had a wry smile on his face, Qin Tao is very powerful, he can think of all kinds of ways, but...

  The army cannot do business. This is an iron law. Is issuing lottery tickets counted as doing business?

   "I will report your proposal to the higher authorities 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 ran over and said to Wu Shengli.

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

   Is this forbidden?

   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 forget home!

   "Well. Dad, I'll see you off."

  The plane that Wu Shengli was going to take was on the tarmac next door, and the two continued to chat while walking.

"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: "In addition to oil imports and the like, you Our business is increasing.”

   "The power plant is going to be built? This is really good news." Qin Tao said.

   "That's right, when the time comes, we will send some people to observe it, and the relevant units will also send people, so your future operating costs will be almost zero."

  The construction of a nuclear power plant costs a lot of money, and it will also cost a lot to operate. After all, there is a big gap between the salary of an engineer of a nuclear power plant and that of an engineer of a thermal power plant, and the labor cost is different.

  However, Mingzhou Group doesn’t have to worry about it. Since the nuclear reactor was originally intended to be used by nuclear submarines, the technicians of the Navy and related nuclear reactors will be stationed in the past to monitor the operation of the nuclear reactor.

  In this way, the Mingzhou Group does not need to spend money, at most it provides some accommodation and meals.

   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 power consumption of the current Mingzhou Group is astronomical!

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

   Go home and have a look.

  Qin Haiyang was lying on the stroller, spitting bubbles and playing alone, while the mother-in-law smiled and said beside her: "Taozi, you don't have to worry about the house, everything is fine here, just do what you need to do."

   "Well, where is Xiaoling?"

   "Xiaoling is often busy at work recently, it seems that their project has reached the final stage of tackling."

Qin Tao nodded. He knew that the development of the Hongqi-16 missile was divided into three steps. At the beginning, it was only a successful imitation of the Shijili system. It was enough to solve the problem of whether it existed. Afterwards, the vertical launch was considered a big deal. progress.

   The second step is to optimize the trajectory and increase the range from 20 kilometers to 40 kilometers. This is also the main work of Zhao Ling and the others.

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

Now Xiaoling is busy all day long. On the one hand, because Haiyang grows up day by day, she needs less time for her mother, so Xiaoling can focus on work. On the other hand, it is also because this transformation has already It's the critical time.

  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 unit to see."

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

  Of course I want to see the development progress of the HQ-16 missile!

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

  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 the **** behind.

  When Qin Tao came in, Zhao Ling was holding a meeting for technical backbones, and Zhang Lao sat aside to attend the meeting, confidently letting Zhao Ling take the lead.

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

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

  Brother Tao is here?

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

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

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

  Zhao Ling also greeted: "That's right, 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 had the charm of a mature woman, she looked so attractive, Qin Tao felt some desire in her body slowly recovering.

   "Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin?" Elder Zhang's voice came from beside him.

  Qin Tao finally realized: "Huh?"

   "Mr. Zhao mentioned just now, can the aircraft carrier we are refitting carry 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, and other functions are handed over to the attached warships. We can't take the road of heavy-duty aircraft-carrying cruisers like Lao Maozi. At present In the repair plan, there is no setting to carry Hongqi-16 missiles, as long as it is equipped with Haihongqi-7 and 730 close-in anti-aircraft guns, it is enough."

  There is no 18-pack Haihongqi-10 yet, so the Haihongqi-7 can only be used to make up the number. In fact, if it is really used to the extent of using these weapons, it means that the naval battle is already too fierce.

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

  The Hongqi-16 system is too large to be carried by an aircraft carrier.

"Okay, then let's introduce the missiles carried by No. 138." Zhao Ling said: "At present, our Hongqi-16A has been developed and is waiting for the final test launch, so we plan to equip No. 138 with these missiles." An improved missile will expand 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 fiddled with. It is currently undergoing intensive transformation. It was originally planned to carry a large number of Hongqi-16 missiles, but now that it has caught up with this At that time, it is natural to go directly to the place in one step and carry the Hongqi-16A missile.

"Well, our shipyard fully supports this project." Qin Tao has no doubts about this project. If you can use the modified version, of course you don't need the original version. Even the 054 that was launched in the past few ships must be improved and upgraded accordingly. .

   "Okay, then we have to connect with the Mingzhou Group to complete the modification of the missile. We promise not to delay the modification period of the 138 ship."

   "Okay, let's go back to Mingzhou together."

  Zhao Ling gave Qin Tao a dissatisfied look. There are so many people watching. Now I am the person in charge of the missile project, not your wife!

  Qin Tao reacted: "There are also a group of your technicians, let's go together, and everyone will work together to complete the transformation without affecting the progress."

  The meeting was finally over, Zhao Ling looked at everyone: "Everyone is too tired recently, let's stop here today, you can get off work."

  There were meaningful expressions on the faces of the people, Zhao Ling walked out without looking at the faces of the people.

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

  Long drought meets nectar, I have been hungry for a long time, so I have to eat a big meal.

  The next day, Qin Tao was still sleeping on the bed, Zhao Ling had already quietly got 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.

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

   "Don't worry, I'm staying in Huating for a few days now, and then we will 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 gave Qin Tao a reason: "Of course there are many, you have already reported the project of the amphibious assault ship to Leader Wu, next, we can ask our second design department to help design a similar amphibious assault ship In the future, if the navy needs it, we can produce it at any time. Our machinery factory has recently overcome the technical difficulties of the lift fan, the most critical clutch, and has made great progress. Also, we have already produced a CNC bending plate. prototype of the machine."

   Prototype out?

  Qin Tao's eyes lit up immediately: "Let's go, 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 Huating No. 2 Water Pump Factory almost went bankrupt. Later, Mingzhou Group took over and produced advanced water jet propulsion, and finally got out of the predicament. Later, there were more and more types of products, and the equipment of large dredgers, all It is produced here.

   When it comes to precision machining capabilities, this place is the number one.

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 and cannot let Qin Tao worry about him. He has a lot of experience. The image of the welder used to be the same as that of a successful entrepreneur.

   "Uncle Zhao, you are very handsome." Qin Tao couldn't help but tease him when he saw Zhao Changshui.

"President Qin, don't tease me." Zhao Changshui said, "This Nine Wolf suit was purchased when we gave benefits to the workers at the end of the year. Everyone wears one, but the big guy only wears it when there are activities. To participate, I usually wear overalls, but this one with a suit and tie is too uncomfortable."

  Qin Tao looked at the logo of the Nine Wolves suit, and the smile on his face was even bigger: "You guys are rich! Send a New Year's benefit, and it's still the number one men's clothing brand in China!"

   "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, the numerical control part will be completed by Huating University, and our machinery factory will be responsible for the mechanical part. The most critical square plate pressure head adjustable movable mold on the bending machine is the key. We have done a lot. Trying to solve its processing problem."

   "This is complicated?"

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

   While talking, everyone has arrived at the research and development workshop, where a machine has begun to take shape.

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

"If you want it to precisely control the bending plate, you need to reduce the area of ​​the movable head plate, the smaller the more accurate, but at the same time, this also means that the number of hydraulically adjustable legs we need will increase. In order to carry out In the end, we determined that the area of ​​each movable head square is one decimeter square, and such an area requires one hundred outriggers.”

  Qin Tao nodded. He only provided design ideas, and the rest were decided by his technicians. He never asked about such technical details, and his subordinates could complete the tasks.

The machine at this time looks like a big mouth from the side, with two rows of outriggers up and down, as dense as teeth in the mouth. If you can drill 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 still many people busy working around the machine, and Zhao Changshui called out to one of them.

"Hi, Mr. Qin, my name is Hu Yong, and I specialize in numerical control at Huating University. I took my students and made the numerical control part of this system. Now, the big guy is still doing the final debugging." Hu Yong told Qin Tao stretched out his hand, only to find that there were a lot of oil stains on his hand. He wanted to wipe it off, but Qin Tao had already grabbed it.

   "Professor Hu, thank you for your help." Qin Tao said: "In order to develop technology in the future, we must take the road of factory-school cooperation. We will cooperate more in the future."

Hu Yong was very moved. He took out his hand and went to find a toilet paper to wipe for Qin Tao. Qin Tao waved his hand with a smile: "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 debugging going now?"

   "Almost, it will be ready soon."

Debugging is also very difficult, because after debugging each outrigger and the movable head on the outrigger, there are two hundred up and down. Moreover, this is still a prototype. In the future, when the finished machine is manufactured, the area will be expanded many times. At that time, the workload will increase exponentially.

   "Is there a way to adjust it at one time?" Qin Tao said: "For example, if you shoot a laser beam, a row of live heads can be adjusted together."

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

  Since they are in charge of the CNC part, the adjustment is of course also their job, which requires slow work and meticulous work.

   After half an hour, the adjustment is complete.

   "Boss Qin, we can start a trial run. You can choose a part for us to process." Hu Yong said excitedly.

choose one?

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

   Bulbs! Coming up is the most difficult!

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

  There is only a bulbous bow, as you can tell from the name, this thing is hemispherical, like a nose, bending this kind of thing is the most technically difficult.

  In the shipyard, only experienced masters operate hydraulic presses and press hundreds of times to make this kind of device.

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

   Not so for warships.

The bulbous bow of the warship is not only to save fuel, but also to place sonar there. In order to be able to transmit sound through the bulbous bow, special materials are used, and the inside of the bulbous bow is also filled with liquid. , so that the sound can pass through. (It’s not sure if it’s filled with liquid. I’ve seen some information say so. It’s not necessarily sea water, it may be other special liquids.)

  This bulbous bow is just equivalent to a dome, which belongs to a fragile can. Take the dome 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 easy to process this kind of bulbous bow.

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

   "Okay, then let's try it." Hu Yong said: "Mobilize the 3D drawings and process a small bulbous bow."

   "Put a two-centimeter-thick steel plate." Qin Tao said.

   Increased difficulty again! Two centimeters thick!

In the process of lifting the steel plate, the machine has already started, the upper and lower outriggers start to move, and the pressure head of the square plate is also changing. Soon, the lower part becomes a sunken spherical pit, and the upper part is protruding. a ball.

  The steel plate was put on and fixed.

   "Attention, start the machine!"

  The lower part remains still, and the upper outriggers start to descend synchronously, as if a ball is slowly descending, and finally, they come into contact with the steel plate.

   "The oil pressure is stable."

   "Push slowly!"

  The steel plate made a creaking sound and slowly deformed.

  Everyone looked over, full of anticipation.

  The part above continues to descend, slowly and vigorously.

   Ten minutes later.

   "Suppression is complete, start separation!"

  The outriggers on the top began to rise, and the big mouth opened again. It was clearly visible that the inside of the flat steel plate just now had become a spherical surface!

"Measurement!"

  This is not over yet, the steel plate is elastic, will it spring back after being pressed? How is the error? These require further measurements.

   "The measurement is completed, and the design error is kept below 0.1%!"

   Finished?

   It's done!
