Chapter 513 Everything is ready

 The second day of the Lunar New Year.

Qin Tao held Qin Haiyang in his arms and said with emotion: "Son, you have to remember that you are the youngest passenger in the country. When you grow up, you can go and compete with Xiaohua Xiaohong in the same class. Show off."

Zhao Ling on the side glanced at Qin Tao with some dissatisfaction: "You are too immoral. What are you telling the child?"

“Now I’m telling him about shipbuilding, but he can’t understand it. Well, Dad is wrong. Let’s try another one. How about telling you Tang poetry?”

Zhao Ling nodded, that’s about it.

Then, Qin Tao spoke: "Stop and sit in the maple forest at night, the frost leaves are as red as the flowers in February."

Zhao Ling glanced at Qin Tao suspiciously, did you do this on purpose?

“It’s February now. We went to the capital and met your grandma and grandpa to see if there are any flowers blooming at their house. If they bloom, you can pick out the flower bones for him. Oops..."

Qin Tao felt a tap on his ribs. It really hurt. The flesh there was the softest.

"Don't be like this. The journey is too lonely. There are not many people on such a big passenger plane, so we have to have some fun." Qin Tao said.

That's right, they are on the plane at this time, flying to the capital. They will set off in the morning and arrive in the capital before noon.

Flying is a luxury, and he originally didn't attach much importance to returning to his parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year, but his father-in-law unexpectedly spoke up. Qin Tao also knew very well that returning to his parents' home with his wife and children was secondary, and the report It is important to look at the recent work progress of Mingzhou Group.

 After all, the situation is getting more and more tense.

After getting off the plane, as expected, two groups of people came to greet her. Zhao Ling took her children and nanny and went home directly, while Qin Tao got into another car and went directly into the Huang Building without entering the family area.

When Qin Tao entered the conference room, he saw a dark group of people inside. He touched his nose helplessly: "I'm very nervous."

"Nervous? You were reciting pornographic poems to Haiyang on the plane. Why were you nervous?" Wu Shengli said with a smile.

“Du Mu’s poems, dad, you are so uneducated, you can even remember the wrong author, it’s not Huang Tingjian.”

“Okay, sit down, everyone is waiting for you, let’s report the progress now.”

"Yes." Qin Tao said: "Let's start with the big one. First of all, the aircraft carrier is currently installing navigation assistance equipment. The Fresnel assistance device has been installed, and the deck marking lines can be installed overnight at any time. It will be sprayed out in time. It is expected that this aircraft carrier will be able to be dispatched by the end of the month."

 That’s right, the first thing I want to talk about is the big guy, the aircraft carrier!

If you want to carry out complete outfitting, it will take a long time. The internal cabins are still being sorted out and various pipelines are still being laid. However, if you want to use this warship only as an aircraft landing platform, there is still no problem. of.

 What they want is this effect, first drag out the aircraft carrier!

 “What about the power system?” someone asked.

 After all, the power system is the most critical. If the power system is not powerful, the aircraft carrier will not be able to truly move.

“We have tried to light a fire in one night. All eight boilers can get the rated steam pressure, but the steam turbine has not been tested yet. However, we have rich experience in this area in China, so there should be no problems.”

Everyone nodded.

"Emergency production is going on over there, and the first J-15 test aircraft will also be mobilized. By then, there will be two carrier-based aircraft, and the others will be temporarily replaced by models. There can be a dozen of them on the deck." Wu Shengli said: "This big killer must not be let go. We will take this opportunity to show our superiors that our navy cannot live without aircraft carriers!"

"Only aircraft carriers are not enough. We need a complete aircraft carrier formation." Qin Tao continued: "Currently, we are conducting sea trials on No. 138. Before the end of the month, we should be able to complete the debugging of ship-based air defense weapons and live-fire target shooting. We can do it during formation exercises, which can save the Navy money."

“Yes, when the time comes, we will go all out and fire dozens of missiles of all kinds, and the navy will not be able to defeat it!” a leader said, patting the table.

"Why are you banging the table? You scared me." Qin Tao looked at the excited leader and continued: "At that time, we also hope that the two 051Cs can arrive in time. In this way, the regional air defense capabilities of the fleet will be provided by our 138 It is completed with No. 115 and 116, which are all equipped with S-300 air defense missiles, which can establish a 100-kilometer long-range defense circle."

 A few years ago, the navy could only rely on machine guns for air defense. Now, it has finally reached the level of regional air defense.

All three warships have flaws, but when combined together, the three warships can perfectly form a 360-degree defense system!

"Medium-range air defense is achieved by our No. 138, No. 136, and No. 137, which should be very good. However, in order to further improve the mid-range air defense capability, the 054 frigate we are outfitting is also rushing to work. Even if we improvise, it will still show our strength." Qin Tao continued.

Two modern-class ships have returned. They have been run-in and have combat capabilities. The most suitable thing for our side on these two warships is definitely not the Sunburn anti-ship missile, but the Shikili air defense system!

 With these missiles, there is no need to worry about medium-range air defense.

“In this way, the formation of six destroyers and one aircraft carrier is almost complete, plus our comprehensive supply ship..."

"That's not enough. Let's contact the fleet in the south and call over the 054 in service in their fleet. Let's build up the momentum together!" The leader interjected again.

“Are our two 052s also joining in?” Another person said.

A total of two 052 destroyers were built, namely No. 112 and No. 113. Originally, these two warships could be regarded as domestic star warships, but in the face of the warships launched in the later period, the brilliance of these two ships was completely eliminated. Covered up.

  Needless to say, compared with destroyers, even compared with 054 frigates, it seems that it does not have an advantage!

“No need, those two ships will patrol in the north.”

"Our fleet still needs nuclear submarines underwater. Our Mingzhou Group's construction plan has not been approved, and our brother units have not built them yet. Now we can only let 091 make up the numbers." Qin Tao said: "But okay The anti-submarine capabilities of our surface ships are not weak. When the time comes, we will carry several more anti-submarine helicopters on the aircraft carrier to jointly undertake anti-submarine missions and protect underwater safety."

Everyone nodded.

“The next step is our 022 missile boats. More than forty of these missile boats have been in service. Use as many as you have. When the time comes, they will circle back and forth around the target to scare those with ulterior motives to death!”

I didn’t calculate it before, but now that everyone is sitting here, I suddenly realize that the modernization of the navy is almost completed by the Mingzhou Group. Almost all of the actions planned now have something to do with the Mingzhou Group!

 Everyone was filled with emotion.

“Okay, let’s talk about our ghost ship plan. Is the ship ready?”

"It's almost completed." Qin Tao said: "We are still in the final installation. We don't have to worry. The key is whether our brother units have the confidence. This is our trump card. If we don't have the confidence, we will So we can prepare Plan B in advance and install a large number of explosives inside the ghost ship. This is what we often do in military exercises anyway."

“There is trust. Although there has been no test firing yet, they have conducted many simulations and will definitely not mess it up!”

Qin Tao nodded: "Then we are ready. By the way, how are the electronic warfare troops prepared?"

“We have already loaded those things onto our 8J aircraft. When the time comes, they will definitely be caught off guard!”

 The entire action plan is almost based on Qin Tao's plan. This plan is very bold and completely different from what they originally formulated, and the effect must be good.

 Everyone is confident.

"Dear leaders, after this incident, superiors will definitely pay attention to the construction of the navy, and our aircraft carrier, which has made great contributions, will also be transferred to the navy camp." Qin Tao said: "Our steel plant is also undergoing production line transformation, and we will provide it in the future. It fully meets the steel requirements for aircraft carriers. Everything is ready for our aircraft carrier business."

"Yes, everything is ready." Wu Shengli said: "In order to protect our motherland, the navy needs aircraft carriers. We will definitely raise enough funds to build aircraft carriers! Considering the complexity and experience of the construction work, we We believe that Mingzhou Group should be the most qualified to undertake the construction."

Wu Shengli’s meaning is obvious. Mingzhou Group provided a lot of help in this operation, so of course the future aircraft carrier construction tasks will be given to Mingzhou Group.

In any case, looking across the country, other shipyards have no experience or technology. Even the steel for the aircraft carrier is owned exclusively by the Mingzhou Group. There is no need to consider competition and then put it into other shipyards for production.

After hearing Wu Shengli's words, Qin Tao shook his head: "That's not what I meant. What I meant is that our navy is going to blast troops and warships are going to drop dumplings. Are the funds ready? My proposal for a national defense lottery is available to everyone. Be positive.”

 Actually, Qin Tao has not considered bidding for an aircraft carrier. If it is a destroyer, there may be domestic shipyards competing for it. But as for aircraft carriers, besides the Mingzhou Group, which other group can build them?

Of course, in the future, when the number of aircraft carriers ordered by the Navy increases, Mingzhou Group will be too busy and will definitely be distributed to other shipyards. But for now, Mingzhou Group will definitely be the meat in the mouth and cannot escape. of.

 It’s too much for my father-in-law to use this as a reward for himself.

Qin Tao ignored these, he was talking about another thing.

Money!

It costs a lot of money to build an aircraft carrier fleet. In fact, before the aircraft carrier is built, a number of Aegis warships must be launched, which requires a large amount of money. What if the national allocation is not enough?

How is your proposal for a national defense lottery going?

“We have already introduced this proposal to our superiors, but they are still considering it,” Wu Shengli said.

"Well, taking this opportunity, we have to let our superiors see that without a strong navy and aircraft carrier formations, it is impossible. Therefore, our superiors must make up their minds to support the development of the military. They used to agree to the military doing business, but now they are issuing lottery tickets. , there’s nothing wrong with it. It’s always more meaningful than some welfare lottery.” Qin Tao said.

Everyone nodded.

 Next, the construction of the navy will enter a new period, requiring a large amount of funds. This defense lottery method is really good!

"It is estimated that after this incident is over, the bidding for our air defense destroyers will begin. Our Mingzhou Group has made preparations to obtain the Navy's approval and then build our air defense destroyers. When we have more than a dozen air defense destroyers After that, the aircraft carrier formation will naturally be laid. These require a large amount of funds."

“Yes, our funding gap is quite large.”

"In the future, when our J-31A is successfully developed, we will definitely need professional amphibious assault ships. Our navy will need at least five or six aircraft carriers and five or six amphibious assault ships..." Well, Qin Tao started to draw big pictures again Pie.

The meeting was finally over, and by the time Qin Tao returned to his mother-in-law's house, the food had been heated several times.

 “Where is your dad?” Zhao Xiu’e asked.

“He ate at work, and he had to have a meeting after eating. Anyway, I came back after my report was finished.” Qin Tao said.

Zhao Xiu'e nodded: "Okay, Taozi, let's eat."

There was a lot of fun at the dinner table, especially Xiao Haiyang, who was so happy to see his grandma who had been with him for a long time.

"Taozi, I just talked with Xiaoling. Let Haiyang stay in the capital until he is weaned." Zhao Xiu'e asked Qin Tao tentatively.

 Qin Tao and his father-in-law are discussing big things, and Zhao Ling and Zhao Xiu'e are discussing small things. They have already come to a conclusion. The next step is to see Qin Tao.

Will Qin Tao agree?

 Zhao Xiu'e was a little worried.

Zhao Ling is not used to Qin Tao. Huh, Qin Tao has never taken care of the child. He only comes back occasionally. It is not his turn as a father to interfere with the child's affairs!

"Can."

Qin Tao had no hesitation. Mingzhou was his hometown, but the place was too small. Therefore, Qin Tao had already decided that his son would either live in Huating or in the capital.

Although you can be next to Zhao Ling in Huating, Zhao Ling is a workaholic and may not be able to take care of the child. In the capital, the child's grandma has plenty of time!

In the past, after the child was born, Zhao Xiu'e stayed in Huating. However, after all, Zhao Xiu'e had always lived in the north, and Huating was not used to it. In the future, Zhao Xiu'e would have to take care of the children, and she could not let her mother-in-law make do with it.

Since she often doesn’t go home, she just needs to come to the capital to stay with her child. On the contrary, Zhao Ling said that the child is a piece of flesh that fell off her mother’s body. She has been carrying it with her since she was born. As long as she is willing to leave it in the capital.

 “I’ll have to trouble Mom from now on.” Qin Tao looked at Zhao Xiu’e and said, “Thank you for your hard work.”

"It's not hard, it's not hard. I'll take care of your children so you can work with peace of mind. You are all people who do great things." Zhao Xiu'e said.

Qin Tao suddenly thought of something: "By the way, in the future, when your home is connected to broadband and a computer is installed, if you miss your son, you can use Goose Factory's chat tool for video chat!"

“Video chat?” Zhao Ling was a little curious: “Can that thing also have video chat?”

Nowadays, chat tools are becoming more and more common. Even within the research institute, a LAN server will be set up to make mutual communication more convenient. However, this thing is practiced through typing, and there is no voice function, let alone impossible There is a video function.

  The network in the 1990s was mainly 33.6K or 56K modem. The actual speed had to be divided by ten. Even 64K modem was rare, let alone broadband modem such as ADSL.

 The Internet in this era is mainly based on text, supplemented by pictures, videos? Don't even think about it.

Hearing Zhao Ling's words, Qin Tao scratched his head: "Yes, it is not very realistic to realize video. However, you can install a broadband at home and let Goose Factory launch this function for them to test first and use in the future." Once the conditions are met, we can promote it on a large scale.”

What Qin Tao just talked about is broadband. Ordinary cats don’t have such a large traffic. Should we just go to broadband directly, connect fiber optics to our homes, and get a dedicated line? How much does it cost?

Qin Tao doesn't care, this little money is nothing. It can also be made into a demonstration project to let the people see what it will be like in the future!

This is just a small idea, Qin Tao just needs to arrange it.

The originally empty small courtyard became lively with the arrival of Qin Tao's family.

Wu Shengli didn't come back until midnight. As a result, Qin Tao, who was already sleeping, was pulled up by him.

“Taozi, do you want to see our Y8J?”

"let's talk tomorrow."

"The plane will leave tomorrow. If you want to go, it will be tonight."

This is so mysterious! Qin Tao was a little helpless, but since his father-in-law was so enthusiastic, Qin Tao could only leave the warm bed, put on his clothes, and followed Wu Shengli into the car.

Yun-8J should be the Navy's earliest electronic warfare aircraft. The origin of this aircraft has a lot to do with the United Kingdom.

 A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Britain used to be very powerful, so it also developed a lot of equipment, including the famous early warning aircraft.

They used the body of their Comet civil airliner to modify it. Unlike those early warning aircraft with big plates on their heads, it has a big head and a big butt. There is a radar antenna at the nose and tail. However, because the body is limited, , the equipment was not equipped much, so a transmitter was used, which was switched on alternately through a special switch. This was also one of the reasons for the ultimate failure of the fan hunting early warning aircraft: the device responsible for the switching task often burned out and did not work at all. It has the ability to continue working, but at the same time, the computer processing power is not enough, resulting in data refresh not being timely, too much data, the system cannot handle it, and eventually crashes, etc.

 The Hunter Early Warning Aircraft project failed. The British spent a large amount of money, but in the end nothing was accomplished. They ordered the E-3 early warning aircraft directly from the United States. It is understandable that they were depressed.

So, what to do with the R&D results? It's best to make money by selling it.

 So, after some negotiation, Dongfang purchased 8 sets of SouShui-2000MS radars for the "Hunter" early warning aircraft from the UK at a price of US$66 million. (Some people say that this radar is equipped on British early warning helicopters, which seems a bit impossible.)

 Qin Tao did not participate in the whole process. He was still building ships at the time, and the project was very secretive and was conducted in the name of "fishing protection and customs anti-smuggling."

The reason why you won’t encounter the problem of hunting early warning aircraft is because it lowers the requirements: it does not need to search in all directions, it only needs to be installed on the nose of the aircraft to meet the forward search capability, and the special switch is not needed.

At present, neither the navy nor the air force has early warning aircraft. The Y-8J is the navy's farthest-seeing eye. There are different opinions on the specifics. Some data say that the longest search distance of this type of radar can reach about 322 kilometers. Search on the side In side tracking mode, it can lock on 100 sea targets and guide two anti-ship missiles to launch attacks.

This is a bit nonsense. Long-range early warning and missile guidance are completely different. If it is enough to transmit target data to the missile, it is absolutely impossible to guide an attack.

Some people say that its detection range is only more than 200 kilometers. In this case, it is not much different from Feibao's radar.

Last time when I was trying to trick Lao Maozi's Su-30, I used the Y-8J. However, Qin Tao did not get on the plane at that time. This is the first time I have witnessed the style of the navy's maritime surveillance aircraft.

 Yunba’s big nose is very unique, just like a clown’s big nose.

“You leaders are so energetic, you are still up so late.” Qin Tao said jokingly when he saw all the leaders present.

"You kid, don't be so insignificant. You are the only young man in the country talking to the leaders like this." Leader Wu was a little funny: "This is not all your suggestion. Otherwise, an aircraft like ours would not be possible at all." I won’t participate.”

“Alas, we are still too far behind. I really look forward to the arrival of our navy’s early warning aircraft.”

 “Navy?”

"That's right, our Falcon project has already started. Through the experience learned from these projects, we can use it on domestic early warning aircraft, or just use Yunba as the platform, with a big plate on top." Qin Tao said : "For example, if we deploy such a plane at our Shuangsha Island base, we can effectively monitor the southern waters."

“Yes, we don’t need large-scale early warning aircraft. This medium-sized one is enough. We will have to develop carrier-based early warning aircraft in the future.” Wu Shengli said: “Let’s go, don’t be cold, go up and have a look.”

 A group of people got on the plane.

The entire cabin was filled with equipment, and it looked like a Lao Maozi A-50 early warning aircraft. At this time, there were also a number of electronic warfare officers and soldiers sitting in their positions, ready for battle.

 If a leader is interested, he or she will give the answer.

“The equipment here is our new addition.” Zhang Feng, the commander of the aircraft, said: “Currently it is independent and not integrated with other systems.”

"Of course we can't join together." Qin Tao said: "If we join together, what if the enemy follows the data link and invades our system? It must be physically isolated."

 “Yes, we think so too.”

“Mr. Qin, can you sit on our plane to observe?” Zhang Feng extended the invitation.

 This is the most advanced surveillance aircraft in the country! Being able to invite Qin Tao up is of course a sign of respect for Qin Tao. However, Qin Tao still shook his head: "No, I will be on the sea, in the property of our Mingzhou Group."

Of course Qin Tao is talking about the aircraft carrier, the Navy hasn’t paid for it yet!
