Chapter 527 Monster MAZ-7907

Qin Tao didn't say to keep these people in the East directly, but invited them to go to the East to have a look. After the International Defense Exhibition, these people can continue to stay, walk around, and meet old friends by chance. You should be able to accept it a little bit.

  Although these people have nothing to do with shipbuilding, they are high-tech talents and military industry talents after all. They are urgently needed talents in the country, especially those who engage in armed helicopters. The Wuzhi 10 project has not yet started in China.

  After the exchange, it was already late at night, and Qin Tao returned to his room, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

   "Boss Qin, I feel that the people here are ruining their future. They have forced away so many excellent technicians. How can their technology develop?" Xu Zhengyang couldn't help but speak.

"Yeah, you're right, but the people here don't care, they only care about how many of their own people should account for, regardless of whether their own people have the ability, whether it's scientific research, education, medical care, these systems Here, with the increasing proportion of them, they have all started to change, they used to perform the world's first heart transplant operation, now?"

   Now, even a common cold and fever may be misdiagnosed!

   Fortunately, the glory days had their own shipyard, and they used doctors from the east. When the workers in the shipyard fell ill, they could still get timely and correct treatment.

   Others, I really can't believe it.

  Xu Zhengyang was also very emotional.

   "Boss Qin, shall we go to Baimao next?"

  Xu Zhengyang chatted again about the upcoming itinerary.

  Qin Tao nodded.

   "There doesn't seem to be anything good in Baimao's place?"

  Qin Tao smiled: "Why not? Do you know where the Maz truck we used to take when we went to Lao Maozi's place?"

   "Car? What does this have to do with Baimao?" Xu Zhengyang was a little curious, and suddenly thought of something: "Mr. Qin, you mean a missile launcher like the Maz 543?"

  Qin Tao nodded.

There are many gaps in the domestic military industry. Take the missile launcher as an example. The most advanced Dongfeng-21 missile in China is still in the form of a trailer. The various openings on the cylinder look like a boiler. .

  The way of trailering is unable to maneuver in the wild and can only rely on the road network. This method is obviously inappropriate. If you can have a multi-wheel drive off-road vehicle like Lao Maozi, and take Big Ivan over mountains and mountains, that would be called bullshit.

  This time the International Defense Exhibition is going to be held, of course Baimao must be called over. No matter whether you buy it or not, as long as you bring those large vehicles and display them publicly, the momentum of the International Defense Exhibition will be strengthened.

  Thinking of these large launch vehicles, even Xu Zhengyang is full of expectations.

  Time was tight, so they went to visit the heads of various companies the next day, and after formally sending out invitation letters, they took a passenger plane the next night and set foot on the road to Baimao.

  Qin Tao has left countless pairs of footprints on Lao Maozi's land, but this is the first time he has come to Minsk.

  Xu Zhengyang and others who were traveling together also felt the difference.

   "This place seems to have regained its vitality!" Sitting in the car, looking at the buildings and pedestrians on both sides of the street, Xu Zhengyang felt a strange feeling. It's completely different from Da Mao Er Mao's side.

   Those who met them were people from the foreign affairs department. Xie Le heard Xu Zhengyang's emotion and immediately introduced: "Yes, after the collapse of the Red Empire, this place should be the first to recover."

   "Why here?" Xu Zhengyang became even more curious.

   "Because we have learned from us here, we have embarked on our characteristic market economy path." Xie Le said.

  After the collapse of the Red Empire, all countries began to approach the West in a swarm, but the facts have proved that this road will not work.

Big Mao is the worst. After listening to shock therapy in the West, he is really in shock now. Ermao can only sell weapons and equipment to make money. Therefore, Baimao (or Sanmao) became the first one to come out. .

  They didn't learn from Da Mao and Er Mao, because Da Mao and Er Mao still couldn't take care of themselves, they couldn't learn from losers, so they aimed at the East.

   In 1994, after the new leader of Baimao came to power, the first thing he did was to visit the East. After returning, he began to reform. In the past two years, Baimao has undergone earth-shaking changes.

"However, at present, their economy still has a lot of shortcomings. Take their industries as an example. Except for the Minsk Vehicle Manufacturing Plant, which has the entire production chain, other industries need the cooperation of other countries. Those industries almost don't make sense right now."

  Qin Tao nodded: "So, we can come here with friendship and let Baimao and us become real friends."

  Come over with friendship?

  Xie Le looked at Qin Tao curiously. Although this was his first contact with Qin Tao, he had heard about it a long time ago. Mr. Qin of Mingzhou Group is flexible in thinking and full of tricks. Is this another good idea?

   "Like other countries, heavy industry is developed here, but light industry is poor. We can cooperate with Baimao to establish a China-Belarus light industrial park and directly produce light industrial products here. They will be very satisfied."

  Light industrial park?

  Xie Le's eyes widened: "Why don't we export directly?"

  Exports can create foreign exchange, and domestic employment opportunities can be increased. Therefore, if you can export, you can export. Why do you want to jointly open a factory?

"Old Xie, the national conditions are different." Qin Tao said: "You also said that this place is learning from us and following our path, so you should know that this place is definitely not willing to purchase materials from the East in large quantities. Yes, if we can set up a factory here, we will definitely gain Baimao's trust and approval, even if we don't open a factory, other countries will come here to set up factories."

   This is real friendship, Bai Mao will be ecstatic.

"A large amount of cotton is also grown here, so our domestic clothing companies can come in. For example, our eight wolves men's clothing is willing to come here to set up factories." I took a look and confirmed that it should be the eight wolves. It was the protagonist who asked my mother to operate independently. If the city leaders refused, then they would pull out the backbone and establish the nine wolves brand.)

Qin Tao can't decide otherwise, but in this clothing business, he can directly make decisions for his old mother. Anyway, the eight wolves men's clothing has not entered the Baimao market. If they directly set up a factory here and occupy the Baimao market, then they can Made a ton of extra money.

  Xie Le nodded: "Boss Qin, since you are the one who raised this opinion, after arriving at the Minsk Vehicle Manufacturing Plant, it is up to you to propose it, and it will be useless to sell this favor."

  Xie Le has already become good friends with the people from Baimao. Qin Tao is new here and needs to gain the recognition of the people here.

  Qin Tao nodded: "OK."

  Minsk Vehicle Manufacturing Plant, which started construction in 1947, was the main manufacturer of heavy-duty trucks, trailers, semi-trailers, and buses in the Red Empire.

  As for the common name of Maz, it is the abbreviation of MAZ or MinskAutoZavod. This name is absolutely no stranger to the East.

   At this time, Qin Tao was also in a turbulent mood when he set foot on the Maz factory for the first time.

At the gate of the Maz Factory, a large group of officials were already waiting. Mikhailov, the leader of Minsk, and Radutka, the director of the Maz Factory, stood there, smiling and welcoming the people who came. a group of people.

   "Everyone, let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Qin of our Mingzhou Group. He came to visit Maz Factory with friendship." Xie Le communicated with them in fluent Baimao language.

   (I saw an introduction that speaking Baimao and Ermao is actually equivalent to the local language of Russian, which is the same as the difference between Mandarin and Cantonese here. I don’t know whether it is true or not.)

   "Mr. Qin, this is Mr. Mikhailov, who works in the municipal government, and this is Mr. Radujka, the factory director."

  Qin Tao extended his hand enthusiastically: "It's a pleasure meeting you, Mr. Mikhailov, Mr. Radutka."

   After shaking hands one by one, Qin Tao waved to Xu Zhengyang behind him, so Xu Zhengyang took some small boxes and began to deliver things to the leaders.

  The box was very small, and everyone was a little curious. They didn't know what it was. Mikhailov, who got it first, stuffed it into his pocket, but Radujka was less reserved and opened it directly.

  The sun shone on the box, and the inside was dazzling.

   "It's a diamond!" Radujka almost exclaimed. The diamond inlaid on the ring looks quite small!

   Mikhailov was also surprised. He touched the small box in his pocket with his hand, but he still didn't open it, but it was scorching hot there.

  This President Qin is indeed a good friend, and he spends a lot of money!

   "President Qin, please come in." Radujka suppressed his excitement, put the small box back in his pocket, and then showed Qin Tao the way.

   There is still a long way to go from the door to the factory building inside, and there is an open space overgrown with weeds outside. From a distance, you can see some scrapped vehicles, two of which are particularly conspicuous.

  Length, width, height, if described in one word, it is big!

   "Can we go over there first?" Qin Tao pointed to the vehicle over there.

   over there?

  Radujka looked over, a little surprised, but also a little proud: "Of course, the two MAZ-7907s there are the largest vehicles ever produced by our Minsk Vehicle Factory!"

   How big is it? You can count its wheels, one, two, three...twelve!

There are twelve wheels on one side, and they are not the wheels of road transport vehicles, but off-road tires with large treads. The specific diameter of each tire is unknown, but when the old man stood there, the tires Just reaching the position of the shoulders, you can imagine its hugeness.

   If you talk about the data specifically, the length of this behemoth has reached 28 meters, the width is 4.1 meters, and the height is 4.4 meters.

"In the 1980s, relevant departments began to manufacture the RT-23 intercontinental ballistic missile. NATO named it the SS-24 scalpel. This missile weighs 105 tons, is 22.6 meters long, and has a diameter of 2.4 meters. It can carry nine warheads at a time. At the beginning, this missile was deployed by silo and rail. However, in order to improve the survivability of this missile, the relevant departments planned to use TEL vehicles for land-based deployment. Our Minsk Vehicle Manufacturing Plant became its launch vehicle research and development factory."

At this time, everyone walked into the grass, and Radujka made an introduction: "After accepting the mission, we immediately carried out research and development. Ten years ago, the prototype of this launch vehicle was manufactured by us. Now, although it looks like an enlarged version of the previous vehicle, in fact, in order to make it have better performance, we have made a lot of improvements."

Maz Factory has always been engaged in ballistic missile launching vehicles. Starting from the four-axle MAZ-543, there are more and more axles, and the weight that can bear is also increasing. So, should it be just widened, lengthened and heightened? Woolen cloth?

  Of course not! After reaching a certain level, the complexity of the system will become larger and larger, and it will also bring more and more problems.

  For example, the frame, after a certain length, may be twisted when turning. As for the transmission system, the efficiency will also be reduced due to the elongated body.

   "In order to drive this big guy, we creatively used electric transmission." At this time, everyone had already walked up to the car, and Radujka was still eloquent.

  Electric transmission is actually not a new technology. On diesel locomotives, electric transmission is used. The internal combustion engine drives the generator, and the generator drives the motors on the wheels. The advantage of this is to avoid the design difficulties of the transmission system.

  This car is also.

"Each wheel of it is driven by a 30-kilowatt electric motor, a total of 24 electric motors, or 720 kilowatts of power. The first four axles and the last four axles have steering capabilities. With the blessing of 8-axis steering, The 28-meter-long behemoth has a turning radius of just 27 meters."

   Don’t look too big, but the turning of this car is very flexible!

   "Then its engine must be very powerful?" Qin Tao asked.

   "Yes, we deliberately used the gas turbine, which is the one used on the T-80 tank." Radujka said: "During the test, it once ran out at a cross-country speed of 25 kilometers per hour."

   It is already a common practice for MAZ’s missile launcher to use tank engines. The original MAZ-543 used the engine of the T-54 tank. After all, only the tank engine has enough horsepower.

   As for other issues, the brutal and rough old Maozi doesn't care, even if it is a gas turbine!

The power of the gas turbine is large, and it also has excellent low-temperature start-up characteristics. It is very suitable for the vast frozen land of Lao Maozi, but the noise of the gas turbine is loud, just like on the runway, and the fuel consumption of the gas turbine is quite high. Oil monster!

  The yellow front of the car is somewhat similar to a mine truck. It has a huge nose in the front and a tall ladder on the side. Years of rain erosion has made it full of vicissitudes.

   "Can it still move?" Qin Tao asked.

   "Of course no problem." Radujka said: "A few years ago, we used it to transport large items, such as locomotives and yachts... Mr. Qin, do you want to buy it back?"

   That's right, Qin Tao really liked it.

At present, Mingzhou Shipyard is engaged in production in full swing. Inside the shipyard, there are a lot of materials that need to be transported, many of which are large-scale products. If these two missile launchers are modified, they can be perfect It's been transported!

   Among other things, small yachts, missile boats, etc., can even be built in the rear. After the construction is completed, they can be directly dragged into the water by this kind of vehicle.

  In short, in the field of large-scale transportation, this vehicle is a perfect match.

In terms of transportation capacity, 100 tons does not seem to be high. You must know that Steyr in China is the king of 100 tons. Well, that thing is on the road, just like a snail crawling. If you encounter a small **** and stop halfway, you have to go back to the bottom of the slope.

  Where is the big guy in front of you? It refers to the ability to drag 100 tons of cargo everywhere. If you follow the domestic loading method, let alone 300 tons, 500 tons is possible.

   Steyr's rated load capacity is only 20 tons, and it can pull up to 200 tons. According to this ratio, thousands of tons can be loaded!

  Qin Tao was satisfied with the car, but he still shook his head.

  Radujka looked disappointed.

After the collapse of the Red Empire, these two cars once took on some transportation tasks, but it was only a flash in the pan. After all, it consumes too much gas! Customers would rather use other vehicles to transport slowly than take shortcuts with this car, In a market economy, all customers must consider the cost.

  Thus, these two afterglows of the empire, the largest missile launch vehicles in the world, just stayed in the open space of the factory, eating ashes silently.

   If they can sell these two cars, it will be good for them. They can clean up the junk and make money. Who would have thought that President Qin was originally interested, but now he shakes his head again?

   "President Qin, what's your dissatisfaction with these two cars?" Mikhailov asked.

   "You said that it uses gas turbine engines. After all these years of use, these engines have reached the end of their life, right?"

  Hearing Qin Tao's question, Radujka was a little embarrassed.

   This is not wrong.

   Everything else is easy to say, the key is the engine!

This GTD-1250 gas turbine has a full life cycle of 1,000 hours and an overhaul interval of 300 hours. When the Red Empire collapses, the engine has actually reached the end of its life. Their subsequent civil transportation is all overdue. When the Orientals buy it back, it is estimated that it will be completely unusable.

  The engine is dead, what else can I do?

"If we buy it back, we have to improve it. We need to replace its original engine with a 396 diesel engine. In this way, we will have to spend a lot of money. Unless these two cars can be bought back at a cheap price, otherwise it will be fine. For us, it's not worth it."

cheap price?

  Radujka thought for a while, and then said: "Then what kind of price does Mr. Qin think is appropriate?"

   "Buy two cars back together, at most $100,000."

   "Deal!" Radujka replied immediately: "No problem, Mr. Qin, if you want to use these two cars, I will sell them to you for $100,000!"

Radujka did his homework in advance. Mr. Qin likes to use scrap iron prices when he buys things everywhere. If these two cars were sold at scrap iron prices, they would be worth at most 10,000 US dollars. Mr. Qin actually gave a With a price of one hundred thousand dollars, what else is there to say, of course it will be sold!

  Qin Tao was also taken aback, he missed it! If I knew it earlier, I would have shouted 50,000 dollars, or even 20,000 dollars. Seeing the other party's straightforward appearance, I obviously paid a high price. Although the group has grown in recent years, I can't make such a generous offer! Money still has to be saved.

   However, there are still rescue measures.

   "We need to start the inspection to see if there is any problem with the running mechanism of the car. We also need a batch of accessories. This kind of car is manufactured separately. If it breaks, there is no way to repair it."

"Of course, we still have a batch of accessories in our warehouse. If you want to buy them, we will take them away with you." Radujka said: "As for the start-up test, we can try it. Try it, as long as its running mechanism is intact, anyway, you will have to replace the engine when you go back.”

  Qin Tao climbed into the cab of this big guy for the first time.

  It is very similar to a mine cart. After sitting on it, there is a feeling of seeing all the mountains at a glance. If you run over a car, you will definitely not feel anything when you run over it.

  The side cover of the huge front engine compartment was opened, and a group of technicians worked on it. Half an hour later, there was a howling sound. Although it had been left for such a long time, the gas turbine could still start successfully!

  The cab is very large and belongs to the structure of the middle cab. The driver sits in the center, looking at the rearview mirrors on both sides, and... CCTV!

  That’s right, such high-end reversing images are not popular yet, but the MAZ-7907 developed in the 1980s has already started to use closed-circuit television.

   After all, it is too long, and the center of the car body is still a hinge mechanism, so if it starts to drive and makes a turn, the outer side of the rear will not be visible at all.

  The same is true for large semi-trailer trucks, so when this kind of vehicle is turning, it must be far away, otherwise it will be blown over, and people will have to walk away without knowing that they have caused an accident.

  There is CCTV on this car, so you can see what's going on behind you.

  Radujka drives the car himself, and Qin Tao sits on one side. There are several seats here, so he can personally feel the elegance of this kind of vehicle when it starts to move.

  However, the closed-circuit TV on one side has been broken, and there is no display at all. However, there is no loading at the back, so even if the closed-circuit TV is not used, safety can be guaranteed.

  Radujka released the brake and stepped on the electric pedal. The huge car body trembled, as if trembling with excitement at being able to start again, and moved forward.

  The huge off-road tires crushed the weeds, and the people watching the scene below were also very moved. Only the Red Empire can create such a huge monster!

After leaving the crowd, Radujka turned the steering wheel, the front four rows of wheels turned to the right, and the rear four rows of wheels turned to the left. Just like that, the huge car started to turn, and the weeds under the tires were directly crushed, and the front four rows of wheels turned to the left. The weeds also seemed to tremble under the roar of the gas turbine.

  The huge land monster continued to drive forward, invincible all the way.
