Warship of Great Power

Chapter 532: Capital International Defense Exhibition

  Chapter 532 Opening of Capital International Defense Exhibition

"This kind of normal international transactions will not be disturbed, and our company is confident to face any pressure." Bogurasyev said: "You have purchased Damao's AL-31F engines in large quantities, and you have not worried about being cut off from supply. ah."

  Of course Da Mao is not worried, Da Mao is destined not to be able to integrate into Western society, but you Ermao are different! You are still full of confidence here, probably never thought that the company would be nationalized in the future, and you would be thrown into prison, right?

Qin Tao shook his head helplessly, and explained seriously: "The international situation is unpredictable, we just don't want to face a sudden crisis in the future, in fact, even if you set up a production plant in our country, you will have to send a large number of technical personnel To help the production, they come to us on a business trip, the wages will be higher, and, at worst, you can set the technology transfer to be charged according to production, such as how much patent fee you will pay for each engine produced, so that it will not cause Your profits are reduced.”

   Boguslayev thought about it seriously.

This kind of AI-222 engine, in fact, has not yet been installed. If Dongfang does not purchase, then this kind of engine will not be sold. Although Dongfang requires local production, it will charge technology transfer fees according to production, and it will still be a steady stream in the future Constant profits, so it seems like they have no choice.

   "If we do not agree to this request, will the previous engine order also face variables?" Boguslaev asked.

Qin Tao shook his head: "Of course not, we are all independent, no matter how this project is, we will not give up the previous engine order, but if you do not agree to the technical output, then our trainer project It is likely that other engines will be selected."

Shi Lao was also in the car, but he didn't say a word. Although they had already identified this engine, there was a big difference between importing it and producing it themselves. Qin was always helping them maximize their benefits and reduce risks. Of course they won't say no.

   "We still need to carefully consider this project." Boguslayev said.

"Yes." Qin Tao nodded: "We look forward to your answer. If you agree to export production technology, then we can still purchase a batch of models produced by you to assemble our aircraft in the early stage, and then transition to self-production later. stage. I believe that this way of cooperation is meaningful to both of us.”

   Boguslayev nodded.

Of course, this kind of transaction cannot be agreed immediately. However, the other party has no choice at all. Qin Tao has made it very clear. Moreover, Boguslayev is not a person who values ​​technology so much. What he values ​​most is money. He is more like a businessman, that's why, in later generations, he was directly acquired, but he was overshadowed later.

  The convoy has arrived at its destination.

  The spacious exhibition venue is enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. Boguslayev said with great emotion: "Your defense exhibition this time is a big deal."

"Of course, if we want to hold an international defense technology exhibition, of course we must have a sufficient scale. You are an engine manufacturer, so you don't need to display it outside. Let's go to the internal exhibition hall. There are six in total. According to different types of exhibition halls, we have divided them into four exhibition halls: sea, land, air, and sky, and two comprehensive exhibition halls. Do you want to choose an exhibition hall for aerial equipment?"

  If the indoor exhibition halls are connected into one, it would be too big. The indoor shipyard of Mingzhou Group is not that big, so it is directly divided into six exhibition halls. Different equipment appears in different exhibition halls, which is also convenient for customers to visit.

   "Okay, then let's go to the exhibition hall of aviation equipment." Boguslayev nodded.

"The place near the entrance of the exhibition hall has the largest flow of people, and the site fee is also the most expensive. A professional engine factory like yours does not need to occupy that position. I think the booth on the central axis of the exhibition hall is fine, not only It’s cheap, and when people visit, they have to walk over.”

   "Well, I listen to you."

  After viewing the exhibition area and confirming the booth, Boguslayev was very satisfied. He measured the dimensions on the spot, made some display boards, and hung them up during the exhibition.

   "Actually, you can not only engage in aviation, but also shipbuilding."

   "Shipbuilding?" Boguslayev was curious: "How to build a ship?"

"Aeroengines can be improved into gas turbines. Your D-18T engine is a three-rotor engine with excellent performance. Of course, it can also be changed into a marine gas turbine. It is said that the British are now using their Trent 800 aviation The engine is converted into a gas turbine, which is estimated to output forty megawatts. If they can, so can you. Even if the D-18T is not installed in the future, you can still sell gas turbines to make money. The navy still has a great demand. If your The D-18T is converted into a gas turbine, which can also output 40 megawatts. Think about it, one can drive a 6,000-ton warship, two can drive a large warship of more than 10,000 tons, and four can drive an aircraft carrier."

   Boguslayev's thoughts moved.

It is a good idea to enter the maritime market. After the collapse of the Red Empire, the An-124 transport aircraft has never been produced again. The D-18T engines they produced are mainly used to replace the engines that have reached their end of life. If this continues, the production line It will have to be closed sooner or later. If it can be transformed into a gas turbine, it will definitely become the largest gas turbine in this era!

Take Dongfang as an example, the gas turbines developed so far, and the gas turbines already installed on warships, will not exceed 20 megawatts of power. Now, once such 40 megawatts of gas turbines appear, one can completely replace two ah!

  For warships, reducing the number of power systems can reduce the complexity of the system, which is of great significance.

  If they are the first to develop it, they will be able to occupy the world market!

   Especially, the idea of ​​driving the aircraft carrier moved him even more. Among other things, Ah San had a conflict with Da Mao recently, so he planned to go back and rebuild the aircraft carrier by himself. The power system was a big difficulty.

  The LM25000 gas turbine is definitely not powerful. If you fool them into using their own gas turbine, then they will be directly installed!

  However, research and development requires a large amount of capital investment. Where does the capital come from?

   If you export the production line of the engine to the East, you can get a lot of money.

   This is also Qin Tao's real purpose.

  Fudge Motorsic spends money, and after spending money, they have to make money and sell production lines. Now, this chain is complete.

Speaking of gas turbines, the Brits are really good. The MT30 gas turbine is definitely the best naval gas turbine in the world. Although there are 110 MW gas turbines in China in later generations, they are all used on land and cannot be used at all. On warships, to say the largest, the German Siemens STG5-8000H super large gas turbine has a maximum power of 375 megawatts, which is equivalent to the sum of the power of four A4W nuclear reactors used by two "Nimitz-class" nuclear aircraft carriers. However, the weight of the entire unit is as high as 390 tons, and it cannot adapt to the turbulence at sea, so it cannot be used on warships at all.

  The advanced technology of the MT30 gas turbine is not only used by others, but also by Americans. In 2008, the first Freedom-class Littoral Combat Ship of the U.S. Navy used this kind of power, and it is said that it reached 40 knots. It also has orders from several other countries to power more than seven ship types.

  So Qin Tao is not fooling around. If the person in front of him can really make up his mind to engage in research and development, Motor Sich can really break into a new world.

   After confirming the location of the booth, completing various procedures, and arranging the accommodation of the personnel, Qin Tao and the others were on their way back, and Mr. Shi finally spoke.

   "Mr. Qin, with such an arrangement, can Ermao transfer the technology to us?"

  Qin Tao shook his head: "I don't know."

have no idea? Mr. Qin, then you are too foolish, aren't you? You don't know if it will be successful yet, so this is the result?

   Is this cheating our 320 factory?

   "Er Mao's mind, how can I know, we are just doing our best to promote this matter."

   Hearing what Qin Tao said, Mr. Shi felt a little relieved. Mr. Qin was right, he just had to work hard to promote this kind of project!

   "Boss Qin, if we adopt the method of paying them a patent fee for every unit produced, wouldn't we have to keep paying them in the future?" Elder Shi asked a new question.

   It's not a small expense to go on like this.

   "A white horse is not a horse." Qin Tao replied simply.

  Old Shi shook his head, expressing that he did not understand.

"Their technology is too backward after all. After we introduce the production, we need to improve it. The improved version is our own production, which has nothing to do with them." Qin Tao said very seriously: "So, later we will No more royalties.”

  Old Shi suddenly realized.

  After the arrival of Motor Sich, other companies, factories, and design agencies have also come one after another. The venue of the defense exhibition is becoming more and more lively every day.

  Time passed day by day like this.

  Qin Tao went to inspect the area every day, and then went home at night, playing with Haiyang. Before he knew it, he could spend this time with his son every day, which was very rare.

  June 1st is Children's Day, which is also the first weekend in June. The defense exhibition is held on June 3rd, which is the first Monday in June.

  Professional international defense exhibitions do not even accept ordinary tourists. Only professionals, journalists, etc. can enter. However, if they do that, they are likely to lose money.

  So, this Capital International Defense Exhibition, like ten years ago, is for ordinary tourists.

   It’s just that the time is different. The first four days are only for professionals to enter, and the next three days ordinary people can come in and visit. In this way, the last three days can catch up with Saturdays and Sundays, and there will be more people.

   This not only makes money, but also guarantees the experience of potential customers.

  In the field outside, a large area was occupied by Ordnance Industry Corporation, and they exhibited a large amount of their equipment.

  The majestic tank, as the king of the land, is loved by many audiences, especially the 90-2 tank, which is simply a star, and many people took photos there. However, as long as they walked a little further and saw the even bigger land monster, they would be amazed and sighed from the bottom of their hearts.

   This is simply the biggest monster on the ground!

  The booth of the Minsk Vehicle Manufacturing Factory is outside. After all, their equipment is big. If you enter the internal exhibition hall, the venue fee is too high, and the outside is much cheaper.

   Anyway, their vehicles are not afraid of the wind and the sun, and they are displayed outside, making them even more majestic.

  Actually, if you want to talk about the big guys on the ground, those multi-wheeled trailers on construction sites and even on the road will definitely be bigger. For example, the vehicles transporting bridges are huge.

  However, those vehicles can only drive slowly on the road, which is very different from the big guy in front of him who can gallop in the wild.

  The most dazzling star is of course Maz-7907, this big guy with 24 tires is the most talked about big guy in the outdoor ground weapons exhibition area!

   Both cars were sold to Mingzhou Group. After the transport plane transported them, one drove directly back to Mingzhou, and the other was sent to the exhibition area.

   This made Radujka, who personally led the team, very grateful. Mr. Qin was so kind, and left this car for them to exhibit temporarily!

  With this car as the center, other vehicles are placed around. They are definitely the most dazzling in the whole field!

   "Excuse me, how much load can this vehicle carry?"

   Someone started asking questions.

"In the wild, it can transport hundreds of tons of materials, trekking across mountains and rivers, like walking on flat ground." The technician on the side introduced: "Our product line includes all models from four-axle to twelve-axle, and you can completely Choose according to need."

   "So, would you like to export this technology to us?"

  Export technology?

  Radujka greeted him personally: "Please go inside and talk."

  So, in the large cab of Maz-7907, the two sides chatted.

"We are the Wanshan Special Vehicle Manufacturing Factory under the Sanjiang Aerospace Group. Our company is already producing four-axle special vehicles, which have been supplied to the troops in large quantities. However, our needs are becoming more and more extensive, and the required load capacity is getting higher and higher. It is getting bigger and bigger, so we want to seek your technology transfer so that we can produce more advanced vehicles."

   Already able to produce four-axle vehicles? Radujka suddenly thought of something: "Did you copy our Maz-543 launcher?"

  The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

   At this moment, someone came up from below.

   "Mr. Radujka, are you going to open? Congratulations."

  Qin Tao started wandering around after the opening ceremony in the morning, looking at his own vehicle, so he came up to take a look.

   "Boss Qin, we want to purchase the technology of this kind of missile launch vehicle, and the navy will also have a great demand." The person on the opposite side handed over a business card: "We are from Wanshan Factory."

   Wanshan?

  Although Qin Tao is not engaged in aerospace, he also knows a little about the development route of domestic heavy-duty launch vehicles. The two factories are in love with each other.

Wanshan factory and Minsk reached a cooperation intention, and took the first step to develop rapidly. However, because they were all imported products, they did not have their own technology and could not improve them. As a result, Taian factory, which was independently developed To go beyond, the "Taian" series of special vehicles are equipped with airbag suspension as standard, making the driving more stable. Moreover, a variety of chassis suspension technologies independently developed have won the Original Innovation Award at the China Automobile Independent Innovation Achievement Ceremony.

   Later, the modified Dongfeng-31 and Dongfeng-41 were all the chassis of the Taian factory, and the Wanshan factory declined.

  However, Qin Tao can't take care of so many other things. For him, these are irrelevant.

   "If the Minsk factory has an idea, it is also possible for you to cooperate together." Qin Tao provided a suggestion.

  If it is not suitable to directly request the introduction of technology, then we can jointly open a factory together, so that everyone can make money.

  Hearing Qin Tao's words, Radujka nodded: "If we jointly build a factory, then we will welcome it very much."

   "Then you continue to talk, I'll go out and have a look." Qin Tao said.

  It doesn’t matter whether he develops it himself or what, in short, as long as it can be produced, the Eagle-12 of the Navy can also be made into shore-to-ship missiles, and this kind of launch vehicle with excellent performance is needed.

   "Boss Qin, there are a group of people who have been watching here with special identities." After Qin Tao came out, Xu Zhengyang walked beside him and said in a low voice.

   "What's the matter? If they like it, they can come up to discuss it. Why are they hiding?" Qin Tao was a little curious.

   "They should be from the North Kimchi Country."

  Qin Tao's eyes lit up, it turned out to be the case!

The North Kimchi country is developing ballistic missiles. In order to avoid attacks, of course they also need this kind of special mobile launch vehicle, but their own industry is very poor, and it is impossible to produce them. Pay for it.

   Now, I've fallen in love with something I like, but I have no money in my pocket, so I can only wander outside.

"Don't worry about them." Qin Tao gave instructions, but after walking a few steps, he thought of something: "Remind us to the nearby shops, restaurants and other places to be careful when collecting money. Unknown money, or Don’t accept any money you are not sure about.”

  Some people like to ask for it without paying. If there is nothing to do, they can print some and spend it outside, so we have to beware of them.

   "Understood." Xu Zhengyang nodded.

The venue is very large, and there are many people coming and going. This year's International Defense Exhibition seems to be a success. If there are only domestic exhibits, no foreign exhibitors, and no foreign customers, it will be too shabby, sure. will be laughed at.

  Passing the ground equipment, the aviation equipment is in front.

  Of course, the Mingzhou Group strongly supported this defense exhibition, and they also brought out all their belongings. Among the aviation equipment, the most advanced and best, of course, is the J-31A fighter jet.

  The built prototype was brought to the defense exhibition before its first flight. As for the airshow in the south in a few months? Of course, it is necessary to participate, to make as many appearances as possible, and to be more in the limelight.

  Although it hasn't flown yet, it is already a fighter capable of flying after all. When it was displayed, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.

   I don't know how many people are around, but Zhao Dangsheng is introducing people skillfully.

"Our aircraft is planned to be able to fly for the first time this year. It is a carrier-based version. The wings can be folded and the landing gear has been strengthened. On the basis of it, the other two models are also nervously Under development."

   "Excuse me, can this aircraft replace J-15?"

"J-15 is positioned differently from ours. The former is a heavy-duty carrier-based fighter that has completed all flight subjects and is ready for actual combat. Ours is a medium-sized fighter that takes on the role of a generalist. If we compare it , just like the F-14 Tomcat and F-18 Hornet equipped in the U.S. Navy at the same time. Of course, this aircraft will not only be used for its own use, but also exported to meet the needs of the navies and air forces of many countries."

   "Excuse me, how much investment has this aircraft attracted so far?"

"We can only say that there are many, many, and now we don't have to worry about research and development funds for this aircraft. This is also a pioneering work in the field of military aircraft research and development. Moreover, so far, more than 500 orders have been placed. This commercial operation model has been very successful, and we look forward to finalizing this aircraft and delivering it to customers as soon as possible."

  Qin Tao stood outside and watched for a while. He was very satisfied with Zhao Dangsheng. He has been thoroughly trained and can handle various situations. Moreover, the plane that is about to fly for the first time should be able to attract more users.

  Of course, there is still a long way to go before it is truly mature, but the future of this aircraft must be bright.

  The Navy is estimated to be able to enter the era of stealth aircraft earlier than the Air Force! It is estimated that the number of equipment for J-15 will not be particularly large.

At this time, the scene of the defense exhibition was very lively, and there were people in front of many booths introducing them. Not far from Zhao Dangsheng and the others, it was the exhibition area of ​​Daniel Corporation. They specially brought the Stone Tea Falcon helicopter. It will be displayed statically, and will also perform flying performances for guests at the right time.

  Although it is only a static display at this time, this aircraft has already performed majesticly.

Different from other planes with rounded appearance, this plane has angular appearance. The cockpit is low at the front and high at the rear. The bulletproof glass reflects the sunlight and shines brightly. On the weapon racks on both sides, there are even more It's full.

  Sangarei was full of confidence and introduced to a group of officers in uniform.

"Our Kestrel helicopter has a maximum take-off weight of 8.75 tons, is equipped with two turboshaft engines with a power of 1400 kilowatts each, has a maximum flight speed of 309 kilometers per hour, a cruising speed of 287 kilometers per hour, and a practical ceiling of 6100 meters. It has a range of 1200 kilometers, and its performance is the best in the world, with the Apache on the top and the doe on the bottom..."

  Listening to such an introduction and looking at the mighty appearance of the plane, the officers in uniform were very excited: "That's right, this plane looks really good, much more powerful than our Wuzhijiu, we can purchase it!"

Sangare was extremely excited: "Then you should purchase the equipment of an aviation division first. Look, your army is the largest in the world, with more than two million people. At least a thousand helicopters are enough. The U.S. army is only one million, and the Army has more than 3,000 helicopters, so you must order at least 300 helicopters first, right?"

  The uniformed officer on the opposite side stretched out his hand, tore off the cotton labor protection gloves he was wearing, and then stretched out a finger.
