Chapter 532 Capital International Defense Exhibition opens

"This kind of normal international transaction will not be disturbed. Our company is confident to face any pressure." Bogulasev said: "You have purchased large quantities of Dalmao's AL-31F engines and have not worried about being cut off from supply. ah."

Of course Da Mao is not worried. Da Mao is destined to be unable to integrate into Western society, but you Er Mao are different! You are still so confident here, but you probably didn’t expect that the company would be nationalized in the future and you would be thrown into jail, right?

Qin Tao shook his head helplessly and explained seriously: "The international situation is changing rapidly. We just don't want to face a sudden crisis in the future. In fact, even if you set up a production factory in our country, you will have to send a large number of technical personnel." Come to help with production. If they come to us for a business trip, their wages will be higher. Moreover, at worst, you can set the technology transfer to be charged according to production, such as how much patent fee you pay for each engine produced. This will not cause any problems. Your profits decrease.”

 Boguslayev thought about it seriously.

In fact, this kind of AI-222 engine has not been installed yet. If Dongfang does not purchase it, then this engine cannot be sold. Although Dongfang requires local production, it will charge technology transfer fees based on production, which will still be a steady stream of money in the future. Continuous profits, so they seem to have no choice.

“If we don’t agree to this request, will the previous engine orders also face variables?” Boguslaev asked.

Qin Tao shook his head: "Of course not, we are all independent. No matter what happens to this project, we will not give up the previous engine order. However, if you do not agree to the technical output, then our training aircraft project It is likely that other engines will be chosen.”

Shi Lao was also in the car, but said nothing. Although they had long identified this engine, there was a big difference between importing it and producing it themselves. Qin was always helping them maximize their profits and reduce risks. Of course they won't refuse.

“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, we can also purchase a batch of models produced by you to assemble our aircraft in the early stage, and then transition to our own production in the later stage. stage. I believe that this method of cooperation is meaningful to both of us."

 Boguslayev nodded.

Of course, you can't agree to this kind of deal immediately, but the other party has no choice at all. Qin Tao has made it very clear. Moreover, Boguslaev is not a person who values ​​technology so much. What he values ​​most is money. He was more like a businessman, so in later generations, he was directly acquired, but it was later concealed.

 The convoy arrived at its destination.

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

"Of course. If we want to hold an international defense technology exhibition, it must be of sufficient scale. You are an engine manufacturer and there is no need to display outside. Let's go to the internal exhibition halls. There are six in total. According to different types of exhibition halls, we divide them into four, sea, land, air and sky, and two comprehensive exhibition halls. Do you want to choose the exhibition hall for aerial equipment?"

  If the indoor exhibition halls were connected into one, it would be too big. Mingzhou Group’s indoor shipyard 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, let’s go to the aviation equipment exhibition hall.” Boguslayev nodded.

"The area near the entrance of the exhibition hall has the largest flow of people, and the venue fee is also the most expensive. As a professional engine factory like yours, there is no need to occupy that position. I think a 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, listen to you.”

After looking at the exhibition area and deciding on the booth, Boguslayev was very satisfied. He measured the dimensions on site, made some display signs, and hung them up during the exhibition.

“Actually, you can not only engage in aviation, but also related to shipbuilding.”

 “Building a ship?” Boguslayev was curious: “How to build a ship?”

"Aviation engines can be improved into gas turbines. Your D-18T engine is a three-rotor engine with excellent performance. Of course, it can also be transformed into a marine gas turbine. It is said that the British are now using their Trent 800 aviation engine. The engine is converted into a gas turbine, which is estimated to be able to output 40 megawatts. If they can, you can too. Even if the D-18T is not installed in the future, you can still make money by selling gas turbines. The navy still has a huge demand. If your The D-18T is modified into a gas turbine and can also output 40 megawatts. If you think about it, one unit can drive a six thousand-ton warship, two units can drive a large warship of more than 10,000 tons, and four units can drive an aircraft carrier."

 Boguslayev had a thought in his mind.

It is a good idea to enter the maritime market. After the collapse of the Red Empire, the An-124 transport aircraft was never produced again. The D-18T engines they produced were mainly used to replace engines that had reached the end of their life. If this continues, the production line It will have to be shut down 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 currently developed and installed on warships have no power exceeding 20 megawatts. Once this 40-megawatt gas turbine appears, one can 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 develop it first, they can dominate the world market!

Especially, the idea of ​​driving the aircraft carrier made him even more excited. Among other things, Ah San had recently had a conflict with Damao and planned to go back and transform the aircraft carrier himself. The power system was a big difficulty.

The LM25000 gas turbine is definitely not powerful. If they are tricked into using our own gas turbine, they will be directly targeted for installation!

 However, R&D requires a large amount of capital investment. Where does the money come from?

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

 This is also Qin Tao’s real purpose.

 They tricked Motorsic into spending money. After they spent money, they had to make money and sell the production line. Now, this chain is complete.

Speaking of gas turbines, the British are really awesome. The MT30 gas turbine is definitely the most awesome naval gas turbine in the world. Although there are some 110-megawatt gas turbines in China in later generations, they are all used on land and cannot be used at all. On warships, the largest one is the STG5-8000H ultra-large gas turbine of Germany's Siemens, with a maximum power of 375 megawatts. This number is equivalent to the sum of the power of four A4W nuclear reactors used by two "Nimitz-class" nuclear aircraft carriers. However, the entire unit weighs up to 390 tons and cannot adapt to the rough seas. It cannot be used on warships at all.

The technologically advanced MT30 gas turbine is not only used by Niu Niu, but also by the Americans. In 2008, the first Freedom-class littoral combat ship of the U.S. Navy used this power, and it is said that it can reach 40 knots. It has also received orders from several other countries to provide power for more than 7 ship types.

So Qin Tao is not fooling. If the people in front of him can really make up their minds to engage in research and development, Motorsic Company can really break into a new world.

 The location of the booth was determined, various procedures were completed, and the accommodation of the personnel was arranged. On the way back to Qin Tao and others, Shi Lao finally spoke.

“Mr. Qin, with your arrangements like this, can Ermao transfer the technology to us?”

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

have no idea? Mr. Qin, are you too cheating? You still don’t know if it will work, but this is the result?

 Is this going to trick our 320 Factory?

"How can I know Ermao's thoughts? 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!

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

 If this continues, it will be a big expense.

 “A white horse is not a horse.” Qin Tao replied simply.

 Shi Lao shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand.

"After all, their technology is too backward. After we introduce it to production, we still need to improve it. The improved version will be produced by ourselves and has nothing to do with them." Qin Tao said very seriously: "So, in the later stage, we will No more royalties.”

 Old Shi suddenly realized.

 After Motorsic Company came, other companies, factories, and design institutions also came one after another. The defense exhibition venue became more and more lively day by day.

 Time passed like this day by day.

 Qin Tao goes over for inspection every day and goes home at night to play with Hai Yang. Before he knows it, he can spend this time with his son every day, which is 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 you do this, you are likely to lose money.

 Hence, this time the Capital International Defense Exhibition, like ten years ago, is open to ordinary tourists.

It's just that the time is different. Only professionals can enter the first four days, and ordinary people can come in and visit the next three days. 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 ensures the experience of potential customers.

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

The majestic tank, as the king of land, is loved by many audiences, especially the 90-2 tank, which is simply a star. Many people took photos there. However, as long as they walk a little further and see the even larger land monster, they will be surprised and sighed deep in their hearts.

 This is simply the largest monster on the ground!

The Minsk Vehicle Manufacturing Plant's booth is outside. After all, their equipment is large. If you enter the internal exhibition hall, the venue fee is too high, and the one outside is much cheaper.

  In any case, their vehicles are not afraid of wind and sun, and they are even more majestic when displayed outside.

 In fact, when it comes to big things on the ground, the multi-wheel trailers on construction sites and even on the highway will definitely be larger. For example, the vehicles transporting bridges are very large.

 However, those vehicles can only drive slowly on the road, which is very different from the big guys like this that can gallop in the wild.

The most dazzling star is of course the 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 arrived, one drove directly back to Mingzhou, while the other was sent to the exhibition area.

This made Radujika, who personally led the team here, very grateful. Mr. Qin was so interesting that he temporarily left the car for them to display!

With this car as the center, other cars are placed around it. They are definitely the most dazzling ones on the entire venue!

“Excuse me, how much load can this vehicle carry?”

 Someone started to ask questions.

"In the wild, it can transport hundreds of tons of materials, and travel through mountains and rivers as if on flat ground." The technician on the side introduced: "Our product line has all models from four axles to twelve axles. You can definitely Choose according to your needs.”

“So, are you willing to export this technology to us?”

 Export technology?

 Radujika personally greeted him: "Please come inside to talk."

 So, in the large cab of Maz-7907, the two parties started chatting.

"We are the Wanshan Special Vehicle Manufacturing Factory under the Sanjiang Aerospace Group. Our company is currently producing four-axle special vehicles, which have been supplied to the military in large quantities. However, our needs are becoming more and more extensive, and the required load capacity is getting higher and higher. We are 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? Radujika suddenly thought of something: "Did you copy our Maz-543 launch vehicle?"

 The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

 At this moment, someone came up from below.

 “Mr. Radujika, are you about to open your business? Congratulations.”

Since the opening ceremony in the morning, Qin Tao has been walking around, looking at his vehicle, and then came up to take a look.

“Mr. Qin, we would like to purchase the technology of this kind of missile launch vehicle. The navy will also have a huge demand for it.” The person opposite handed over a business card: “We are from Wanshan Factory.”

 Wanshan?

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

The Wanshan Factory reached a cooperation intention with Minsk, took the first step, and developed rapidly. However, because they were all imported products, they did not have their own technology and could not improve. As a result, the Tai'an Factory was independently developed later. Going beyond that, the "Taian" series of special vehicles are equipped with airbag suspension as standard, making the driving smoother. Moreover, a variety of chassis suspension technologies independently developed have won the Original Innovation Award at the China Automobile Independent Innovation Achievements Ceremony.

 Later on, the modifications of the Dongfeng-31 and the Dongfeng-41 were all chassis from the Tai'an factory, and the Wanshan factory declined.

However, Qin Tao can't meddle in so many other things. To him, these are irrelevant.

“If the Minsk factory has an idea, you can work together.” Qin Tao provided a suggestion.

If it is not appropriate to directly ask for the introduction of technology, then we can jointly open a factory. This way everyone will be happy to make money.

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

“Then you continue talking, I’ll go out and take a look.” Qin Tao said.

 No matter whether it is self-research or something, in short, as long as it can be produced, the Navy's YJ-12 can also be turned into shore-to-ship missiles, and launch vehicles with such excellent performance are needed.

“Mr. Qin, there is a group of people who have been watching here with special status.” After Qin Tao came out, Xu Zhengyang walked beside him and whispered.

"What's wrong? If they like it, they can come up and negotiate. Why are they hiding?" Qin Tao was a little curious.

 “They should be people from the Northern Kimchi Country.”

Qin Tao’s eyes lit up, it turns out that’s what happened!

The North Kimchi Country is developing ballistic missiles. In order to avoid attacks, of course they also need this kind of specialized mobile launch vehicles. However, their own industry is very poor and it is impossible to produce them. They are used to being assisted in the past and don't like it. Pay for it.

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

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

Some people like to just ask for it without paying for it. If they have no choice, they just print some and spend it outside, so you have to be careful about them.

 “Understood.” Xu Zhengyang nodded.

The venue is large and there are many people coming and going. This International Defense Exhibition seems to have been successfully held. If there were only domestic exhibits, no foreign exhibitors, and no foreign customers, it would be too shabby, for sure. People will laugh at you.

 After passing the ground equipment, there is the aviation equipment in front of you.

Of course Mingzhou Group strongly supports this defense exhibition and has invested all its belongings. Among aviation equipment, the most advanced and awesome one is of course the J-31A fighter jet.

The completed prototype was brought to the defense show before it took off for the first time. As for the air show in the south a few months later? Of course, you have to participate, make as many appearances as possible, and be in the limelight as much as possible.

Although it has not flown yet, it is already a fighter aircraft capable of flying. When this aircraft was put out, it immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.

I don’t know how many people were around, but Zhao Dangsheng was introducing people skillfully.

"Our aircraft is scheduled 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 being developed intensively. Under development.”

“Excuse me, can this aircraft replace the J-15?”

"The positioning of the J-15 is different from ours. The former is a heavy carrier-based fighter that has completed all flight subjects and is in actual combat status. Ours is a medium-sized fighter that plays the role of a generalist. If we compare , just like the F-14 Tomcat and F-18 Hornet that are both equipped in the U.S. Navy. Of course, this aircraft will not only be used for its own use, but will also be 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, many. Now our aircraft will not worry about research and development funds at all. This is also a pioneering work in the field of our military aircraft research and development. Moreover, so far, more than 500 orders have been lined up. This This commercial operation model is 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 had been thoroughly trained and could fully cope with various situations. Moreover, the aircraft that was 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 truly matures, but the future of this aircraft is definitely bright.

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

At this time, the defense exhibition was very lively. There were people introducing people in front of many booths. Not far from Zhao Dangsheng and the others, there was the exhibition area of ​​Danner Company. They specially brought the Shiksha Falcon helicopter, and not only did they Static display will also provide guests with a flight show at an appropriate time.

Although it is only a static display at this time, this aircraft is already showing a majestic appearance.

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

Sangare was confident and introduced to a group of uniformed officers.

"Our Shiksha Falcon helicopter has a maximum take-off weight of 8.75 tons. It is equipped with two turboshaft engines with a power of 1,400 kilowatts each. It has a maximum flight speed of 309 kilometers per hour, a cruising speed of 287 kilometers per hour, and a practical ceiling of 6,100 meters. With a range of 1,200 kilometers, its performance is the best in the world. It can beat an Apache and a Doe..."

Hearing this introduction and looking at the majestic appearance of the aircraft, the officers in uniform were very excited: "Yes, this aircraft looks really good. It is much more powerful than our Wuzhijiu. We can purchase it!"

Sangare was extremely excited: "Then you first purchase the equipment of an aviation division. Look, you have the largest army in the world, with more than two million people. You must have at least thousands of helicopters to use it. The U.S. Army only has one million troops, but the Army has more than 3,000 helicopters. You must order at least 300 helicopters first, right?"

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