Chapter 546 Gratuitous Aid?

"Any vehicle has a lifespan. By the time you need to pull logs, these two vehicles may have passed the most precious golden age, and their reliability is not high." Qin Tao continued: "So, I think expensive There is no need for the party to purchase such a vehicle."

   "Then how should we choose?" Lopez asked: "We can't go to Baimao to order, and we will definitely be blocked and unable to deliver."

The Minsk vehicle factory is there, and there is still an urgent need for orders. The North Kimchi country has sold so many ballistic missiles and has enough foreign exchange reserves on hand, but they just can't buy them. Even if they think about it with their toes, they should know that there are What kind of consequences, if the money is given, the car will definitely not be available.

   "You can purchase from our country." Qin Tao said.

   "You? Don't you use a trailer?" The other party was a little surprised.

"It used to be a trailer, but it won't be in the future." Qin Tao said with a smile: "At present, we have a special vehicle manufacturing plant in China and have negotiated with Baimao's Minsk Vehicle Manufacturing Plant to establish a joint venture special vehicle manufacturing plant. , so in the future, there will be various vehicles for transporting wood from our production line, ranging from five axles to eight axles, and you can purchase them through this way."

Mingzhou Group is a multinational group, so Qin Tao can't be too blatant, but the domestic special vehicle factory is not afraid. Anyway, it is based in the country and rarely exports. Even if it is exported, there are various means to avoid risks. The big deal is to insist. When the customer ordered, they said they were pulling wood. As for what the customer pulled, it has nothing to do with us!

   You can even categorically deny: We have no exports. The vehicles for pulling wood in the North Kimchi Country are produced by themselves and have nothing to do with us. Do you want to check the accounts? Why? Are your arms too long?

  Yin Chengze's face was suddenly excited: "You are going to build this kind of vehicle? It's great!"

The carrying capacity of the two existing vehicles of the Mingzhou Group is too strong. They don't need them yet. They just feel that since they have encountered them, they cannot miss the opportunity. For them, what they need now are five-axis and six-axis vehicles. The launch vehicles, after all, the missiles they have at hand only weigh a dozen tons. In the next ten years, it will be very strong if they can be improved to 50 tons. There is no need to use a large launch vehicle.

  Due to the limited geographical location, it is useless for them to use the silo. Once they really fight, the position of the silo will be destroyed immediately. They must have the ability to launch mobile.

   "Okay, let's do this, I will send someone to take you to the relevant factory, you will gain something, I will excuse you first."

  Qin Tao still has business to do, it is already very good to be able to receive these people, and it is impossible to delay for too long.

   "Mr. Qin, please stop. Besides this matter, we have other ideas." Yin Chengze made a request to Qin Tao.

besides?

  Qin Tao could only sit down patiently, with a smile on his face: "What else do you think?"

   "Mr. Qin, you just said that we are good friends." Yin Chengze said: "So, we hope that you can provide us with your 039B design drawings for free as before."

   Hearing this, Qin Tao almost laughed out of anger, offering it for free? just like before? Are you stupid or am I stupid?

   Speaking of the North Korean navy, they exist almost silently and have no sense of presence. In fact, they have the fourth largest underwater force in the world.

   At the beginning, the Red Empire provided several R-class submarines. In the 1970s, the North Kimchi Country made a request to the East: providing military projects for free, including Type 33 conventional submarines.

   This is not just to directly provide submarines, but to help them modify the factory and complete the construction of submarines!

   This project, known as the No. 13 project, directly delivered twelve 033 submarines to the North Kimchi Country, and at the same time helped to refit the other party's six shipyards, with the ability to produce four submarines per year.

The Jiangnan Shipyard organized 244 professional technicians and workers to provide technical guidance on submarine assembly in 17 batches. A total of 55 qualified first-class welders, 11 automatic welders, 14 stainless steel welders, and 8 copper welders were trained. They can all operate on the boat and become the first backbone of the opponent's welding hull.

  We were really good friends back then.

That was all in the 1970s. After entering the 1980s, there was no free aid, and all of them were changed to normal arms sales. It would not be possible to tighten your belt and give others meat. Happened again.

   Unexpectedly, these people still have illusions, hoping that they can help them for free?

   Even if it’s just a blueprint!

   "Mr. Qin, you have already designed the submarine, and these drawings are still on display. You have provided us with the drawings, and we will be very grateful to you."

  Can gratitude be exchanged for money? Can it be exchanged for the salaries of the designers?

  Qin Tao secretly smiled in his heart, but he still has to give face.

"Everyone, with all due respect, even if I give you the design drawings, it doesn't make any sense. After all, the production technology of our factory is already the most advanced in the country. Relying on the production technology of your 033 submarines cannot meet our existing requirements. Submarine production needs." Qin Tao rejected their request: "The power, sonar, electronic equipment, weapons and other systems supporting our submarines are all advanced in the world. You have no way to purchase related products. There is no way to complete the assembly, and even the steel used in our submarines cannot be processed by you."

   It's useless to ask for design drawings, let's wash up and sleep.

   "After we go back, we can modify the design drawings according to our supporting products." Yin Chengze said.

"Then it's modified, isn't it still a 033?" Qin Tao said: "Whether it is the silent performance or the weapons and equipment, it is the same as before! Even, you can't understand this design principle, and you will still be refitting Something went wrong."

  Yin Chengze was silent.

  Qin Tao is right, even if there is some prevarication, but according to their current strength, it is indeed impossible to produce it.

"The only option for you is to order from us. We have just signed a contract with a certain country in South America to order two ships, one for 200 million dollars. You can also order if you want. The price is still the same, but we can buy them at There will be an extra compartment for you in the middle."

   Additional compartments? Yin Chengze opened his eyes wide again.

  Even Xu Zhengyang was curious. Of course he knew that his own 039B submarine did not have such a design scheme. What additional compartments were added?

   "It's not safe to transport your logs by land alone. If you have submarine-launched logs on hand, you can put them on the submarine." Qin Tao said.

  The expressions on the faces of the people opposite were obviously shocked.

   President Qin has revealed their plan!

   It is still not safe to rely solely on land transportation. Therefore, after missiles are available, we will continue to develop submarine-launched ballistic missiles. Dongfang only broke through the submarine-launched ballistic missile technology in the 1980s, but at that time there was no Xia-class submarine dedicated to carrying this missile, and it used a modified 033 submarine, which was just a test anyway.

  Because the submarine-launched ballistic missile is too big, this specially modified submarine adds an extra compartment, which is directly flush with the command tower. The command tower seems to have changed from a thin man to a fat man, which looks very weird.

  For China, the use of conventional submarines to carry mushroom bombs is just for testing and to verify related technologies. For the North Kimchi country, that is a necessary choice. They are not capable of developing nuclear submarines.

  The North Kimchi Country is also working hard. After the collapse of the Red Empire, it is said that the North Kimchi Country also made a fortune from it, and got the relevant technical details of Lao Maozi's first practical submarine-launched medium-range ballistic missile, the R-27. And on the basis of the R-27, the original configuration was maintained to develop the "Polaris" series of submarine-launched medium-range ballistic missiles. This thing is a solid missile!

   I don’t know how their research and development is progressing. In short, they definitely need a submarine that can launch submarine-launched missiles. The displacement of this kind of submarine should be as large as possible. Our own 039B is the most suitable.

   Speaking of this, the other party was very excited, but they still felt pain when they thought of the price of 200 million US dollars.

   "Boss Qin, we don't have the ability to pay such a large sum of money, can you..."

"If you have no money, you can only modify your own 033 submarine. We are not familiar with this. You can cooperate with some of our domestic units and purchase relevant modification plans from them." Qin Tao said: "After all, we have never built a 033 submarine, and we are not familiar with this kind of submarine. That..."

  Xu Zhengyang on the side understood: "Mr. Qin, there is a call from the airport. The plane has been delayed for half an hour. Now it is about time. Please go over immediately."

   "Well, everyone, I'm sorry."

   "Wait, Mr. Qin, we have another request."

besides!

Qin Tao was also speechless. Just now he directly blocked the other party's words, because the other party would definitely say, can you pay on credit first, can it be cheaper, etc. Mingzhou Group is not doing charity, so there is no need to talk to them pester these.

   But, these guys are endless!

  Qin Tao frowned: "What else do you think?"

   "Mr. Qin, we have seen your 022 missile boat, which is very small and broad. It is very good. Can you give us the production drawings of this missile boat? We also want to produce this kind of missile boat."

   Want endlessly!

   These guys are also self-aware, knowing that Mr. Qin can't give them products for nothing, so they don't want products, just design drawings.

"Of course the blueprints can be given to you, but they are meaningless." Qin Tao said: "The biggest feature of the catamaran missile boat is its high speed and maneuverability. We used a high-power diesel engine and a special water jet propulsion. These are not yours. What can be produced, you can at most produce the shell of a catamaran missile boat, and you can't get the performance of a real catamaran missile boat at all."

   Without high-power engines and water jet propulsion, the missile boat will lose its soul!

   "Mr. Qin, we have already found out that the relevant water jets are produced in the machinery factory of your Mingzhou Group. Can you..."

"We can only charge the cost price, $500,000 for one sprinkler, and $2 million for four." Qin Tao immediately made a decision: "For friends, we are definitely interesting, well, I really have to go If you have any other needs, you can talk to our reception staff."

  When Qin Tao left, Yin Chengze was still there to say something, but Mr. Qin really couldn't continue to communicate with them because he was catching a plane.

  The car drove towards the airport at full speed.

   "Boss Qin, those people are really kind to ask us for those things." Xu Zhengyang was very emotional.

"Of course, you have to get used to reaching out to others, so how can they have the consciousness to buy." Qin Tao said: "A few years ago, across the bridge, people on our side envied the life over there, not because of the red empire. After the Red Empire collapsed, they wanted to ask us for assistance, let us replace the Red Empire, and continue to let them live a comfortable life. We refused, but made progress with the South Kimchi Country. For a long time, they They are all scolding us, hehe, don’t they come to beg us now.”

   "Boss Qin, if we provide technology to allow them to acquire the ability to launch underwater ballistic missiles, will it pose a threat to us?" Xu Zhengyang continued.

  Qin Tao smiled: "That's not what we need to consider. Anyway, we won't provide related technologies. Let the design unit of 033 worry about it."

   After talking for a long time, in fact, no agreement was reached. However, it seems that a lot has been said and done, and Mingzhou Group is still very sincere.

   It's not that Qin Tao doesn't want to do business, but he won't do business without paying back the account, or even risking international risks.

   "The next time you go to Anxi Nation, encourage Anxi Nation to cooperate with them. The mutual cooperation between them is mutually beneficial."

   "Dear passengers, the weather conditions on our route are complex, so we need to continue to delay takeoff."

  The voice of the stewardess apologized again from the passenger plane. The weather conditions are bad, so of course you can’t fly, otherwise there will be a flight accident. Who would dare to take this risk?

   Fortunately, no one in the economy class saw it. The front business class door was opened, and a few people boarded the plane. After that, the weather conditions improved. Sure enough, God gave these people some face.

  The sound of the engine sounded, the plane began to taxi on the runway, and then took to the sky.

  A journey begins.

  For Qin Tao, this is indeed just a trip. He was a shipbuilder, so it was useless to go to the plateau. He just went to visit relatives and see how his wife was doing.

   After getting off the plane, he sat in the car for a long time. Finally, on the morning of the third day, Qin Tao arrived at the plateau test firing site of Hongqi-16.

  I saw some vehicles from a distance, all of which were three-axle military vehicles.

Among them are two missile launch vehicles, which have poked the six-unit missiles on the back to the ground, and the six cylinders point to the sky, which looks very spectacular. There is also a special operating cabin behind the cab of the launch vehicle. All are camouflage camouflage.

   Not far from these launching vehicles is a special radar vehicle. However, when Qin Tao saw the rotating radar antenna on it, he found a feeling of deja vu. Isn’t this the roof radar used by our navy?

Hongqi-16 was first developed for the navy, and then it was transferred to land-based use. Therefore, there is no sea word on the front of Hongqi-16, but even the navy's roof radar is used, which still makes Qin Tao feel Somewhat funny.

   "President Qin, welcome to come here for inspection." When the car stopped, Luo Minghai, the commander of the radar unit, was already standing at the door of the car to greet him.

  Looking at his flushed face, Qin Tao had an ominous premonition in his heart. When he saw his wife later, wouldn't he have more plateau red cheeks?

   This is not pretty.

  Qin Tao stepped out of the car with a big stride, and then felt the darkness in front of his eyes.

   "Mr. Qin, the altitude here is 4,500 meters. You just came up from below, so you can't do strenuous exercise." Fortunately, Luo Minghai who was on the side had quick eyesight and quick hands, and quickly supported Qin Tao.

  Qin Tao slowed down for a few seconds before his eyes lit up again. There was always a strange feeling in his lungs, no matter how hard he breathed, he couldn't breathe enough! , I always feel like gasping for breath.

   "Mr. Qin, you should adjust your breathing, try to be as steady as possible, and don't take a big breath, so that you will breathe less oxygen. Would you like to take two breaths?"

   "No need." Qin Tao stood firm, adjusted his breathing, and then walked forward, one step, two steps, three steps, as long as there is no strenuous exercise, there is no big problem.

  Going to the plateau, people become snails.

   "Attention, make a final inspection." When Qin Tao walked to the side of the radar car, he heard a familiar voice from inside.

  Zhao Ling also happened to turn her head outward at this time. After seeing Qin Tao, she smiled: "You, you have to come. After we finish these tests, we can almost go back."

   "You come here to suffer, I have to experience it too." Qin Tao said: "From your tone, it seems that it is almost done?"

   "Yes, today we are going to conduct an experiment. If the experiment is successful, it means that there is no problem with our flight control program adjustment."

  Flight control program adjustment?

  Qin Tao was very curious.

  However, seeing his wife wanted to explain, Qin Tao quickly shook his head: "Don't talk too much, save your energy."

  With a smile on her face, Zhao Ling turned her head to get busy again.

   Missiles need to overcome many difficulties when going to the plateau: low atmospheric pressure, large temperature difference between day and night, and strong radiation. The low oxygen content not only makes it difficult for people to breathe, but also for various vehicles. The generator set of the entire missile system also faces the problem of insufficient power output.

  It’s okay to say that these are common problems, and all kinds of equipment have to face them on the plateau. It is very convenient to overcome, but there are also many missile systems that need to be adjusted.

   For example, wind shear in alpine regions.

  Although ordinary missiles can shoot tens of thousands of meters high, they will face problems, but after all, they are launched at low altitudes. When flying to high altitudes, the flight attitude has long been stable.

  In the plateau area, the initial launch altitude is several thousand meters, so the problem is big. For example, the missile may encounter wind shear just after it flies out, or even after the missile is launched cold from the launch tube.

Recently, the team led by Zhao Ling has solved this kind of problem. There is a big difference between the aerodynamic performance of the missile and the sea level, so it has to be compensated by optimizing the flight control program, so that the missile can adjust its attitude as much as possible. Avoid getting out of hand.

  Qin Tao sat next to him, silently looking at his wife, a working woman with a unique charm, his wife could never get enough of it.

   "Are you curious about the radar outside?" Zhao Ling said suddenly.

  Although Qin Tao didn't want his wife to talk just now, Zhao Ling was very happy to see Qin Tao and couldn't help but speak again.

  Qin Tao nodded.

"Actually, we originally planned to use a phased array radar search radar vehicle, but on the first day, the radar's high-power magnetron was discharged and ignited." Zhao Ling said: "So we can only use it first. Make do with this roof-mounted radar, which works really well."

  Active phased array radar has just begun to be put into practical use, and it is expensive. Only the navy can use it. Other troops have to use passive phased array radar. Even the radar vehicle of the Hongqi 9 missile is also passive phased array.

   After the Hongqi-16 was transferred from the navy to land-based use, it also used this phased array radar. Anyway, the vehicle does not have to worry about weight and power consumption. After it is taken from a brother unit, it can be used after modification.

  However, there is no problem in the plains, but it will fail when it reaches the plateau. Electronic equipment is very sensitive to external conditions, and the insulation strength will also change. The situation here is different from Lao Maozi's. After all, Lao Maozi's side is only cold, and here is not only cold, but also low air pressure, and insulation performance is also problematic.

   On the contrary, the roof radar survived, probably because of its use at sea. The insulation ability is inherently strong, and its power is lower than that of the phased array radar.

   Outside, the radar dish is still spinning.

   "Attention, find the target!"

   This news immediately made everyone nervous.

  Zhao Ling also gave up chatting with Qin Tao and got serious.

   "The search radar is tracking normally, and the target illumination radar is ready to start!"

   "The target illumination radar has been tracking the target stably!"

   "Attention, prepare to launch missiles!"

   "Launch!"

   Following this sound, there was a bang outside.

   One of the top covers of the six-pack launcher was broken, and the pointed warhead flew out first, followed by the projectile body. The whole missile looked so powerful, like a sharp sword drawn out of its sheath.

  The missile continued to fly upwards, and then, a flame appeared from the tail, and the ignition was successful! As if taking a stimulant, the missile began to speed up, swishing up, and disappeared, leaving only the flame at the tail.

   Here, we are still tracking.

   There was tension in the radar car.

   "Hit the target!" Finally, the radar officer shouted excitedly as he watched the missiles and target light spots disappear.

  Everyone shouted excitedly.

   It worked, it worked!

  On the plateau of 4,500 meters, they successfully completed the interception experiment of the Hongqi-16 missile, even if it was not suitable for strenuous exercise, they didn't care.

  Qin Tao touched his nose helplessly: "If I come a day late, will I not come?"
