Chapter 551 Foreign Trade Edition 056

Hearing Qin Tao's introduction, the expression on Wu Shengli's face slowly darkened.

"We must not let national treasures fall into the hands of such people!" Wu Shengli finally spoke: "These national treasures record our history and are of great research value to our historians. Moreover, they are still in the waters of our motherland. How can you let others steal it!"

Cabral brought the sailing training ship here for friendly exchanges, and he also gave them such a big gift, which made Qin Tao very grateful. Now that he knows about this, Of course we can't let those modern pirates succeed!

"Currently, the only thing our navy can use is the Y-8J." Qin Tao began to plan: "The navy needs to fly this maritime surveillance aircraft to the Shuangsha Island base to monitor the waters near Zhongsha Island every night. The situation, if the other party wants to take action, it will definitely be at night."

When you are a thief, it is of course at night, not to mention that the other party also has Yishui's advanced deep-sea salvage equipment. The first step the other party has to do is to find the location of the sunken ship. This will take a certain amount of time. If you are lucky, you may be able to do it in one go. Two months, if you are unlucky, it could be one or two years. This is even if you already know the route of the shipwreck that year. If you don't know anything, it will take even longer.

Therefore, when Mike Hatcher successfully salvaged the Taixing again, other people were jealous. Countless salvage ships came to the East to try their luck, but they all found nothing. It is absolutely impossible to be blind and blind. of.

“Well, that’s right.” Wu Shengli nodded: “We need to send Yunbaji there, and we will also conduct a detailed survey and mapping of the entire archipelago.”

“I don’t know how the Air Force’s early warning aircraft project is going.” Qin Tao continued: “If the Air Force’s early warning aircraft project solves a series of key problems, then our Navy’s early warning aircraft will also be available.”

"Yes, we are about to have an aircraft carrier formation, and there will also be catapult-type aircraft carriers in the future. We are also very concerned about the early warning aircraft project." Wu Shengli said: "After receiving these guests, I will take you to the 14th Institute to have a look .”

“If you don’t have time, forget it, I can go alone.” Qin Tao said.

Isn't it the 14th Institute? We are old acquaintances. Qin Tao has to go see how the production model of the four-sided phased array radar is being built anyway, so he must go.

Wu Shengli nodded: "You go to No. 14 and you are more popular than me."

the next day.

The sail training ship is still docked at the pier for tourists to visit. This is the process for the sail training ships of many countries. They go for friendly visits and make some extra money. Of course, these tourists have to buy tickets if they go up. Well, the round trip fare is more than enough.

 The enthusiastic Easterners were of course very interested in this sail training ship. It happened to be the weekend, so many people came to watch it.

 Half of the students brought by Cabral stayed behind to receive tourists and introduce each cabin. The other half of the students, plus the officers who came with the ship, followed Qin Tao to Mingzhou.

The helicopter was roaring, and the naval officers of China in the cabin sat on small matza-like seats and looked at the world outside the portholes.

"The Zhiba you are riding now is the largest carrier-based helicopter in our navy. In normal mode, it can transport 27 people, and in high-density mode, it can carry 39 people." Qin Tao said inside the cockpit "Although it cannot be deployed on a small warship because of its wide body, it is still very good if it is on an aircraft carrier. It has excellent load-carrying capacity and can complete various tasks such as transportation, rescue, and anti-submarine warfare," said a staff member.

 At present, the Eastern Navy has only three types of helicopters.

The first to enter military service was this Z-8. It was a domestic imitation version of the French Super Hornet helicopter. In the beginning, it was actually assembled from parts. The first Z-8 flew for the first time in December 1985, but it was domestically produced. The rate is less than 50%, and key equipment still relies on imports, including engines, main propeller blades, main propeller hubs, tail rotor hubs, automatic inclinometers, etc. The domestically produced turboshaft 6 engines were put into mass production only in 1988. In 1994, the localization rate reached 86%.

  So far, the output of this helicopter is not high, but it is of great significance. After all, it is a thirteen-ton helicopter, which is definitely a big one in China, and its carrying capacity is also very strong. How strong is it? Its carrying capacity is 3.5 tons, which is equivalent to a Z-9!

Since the Zhiba is a big one, it cannot be carried by ordinary warships. Later, Dolphin helicopters were introduced into the country and mass-produced, and they were named Zhijiu.

The empty weight of the Zhijiu is two tons. After carrying about one ton of pilots and fuel, there is only one ton of payload left. Therefore, two aircraft are required for anti-submarine warfare, one with a sonar buoy and the other with a sonar buoy. Anti-submarine torpedoes and depth charges, because a helicopter can't carry that much weight.

Although it is a bit useless, it is small in size and can be carried by warships of two to three thousand tons.

As for the third type, it is the Ka-27 carrier-based helicopter brought with the introduction of the modern class.

The current output of the Zhiba is not high, and there are even rumors that the annual output is only one or two. However, that is because there are no suitable mounting objects and the engine is not powerful. Later, advanced engines were installed, and domestic With the advent of amphibious assault ships and aircraft carriers, this kind of helicopter has been mass-produced, especially the upgraded Z-8, which has a huge and wide range of uses.

Now, since he has taken the officers of these football countries for inspection, Qin Tao will of course deceive them. What if he really places an order for purchase?

“Excuse me, is this helicopter a modification of the French Super Hornet helicopter?” an officer asked.

Of course there are still people who know the goods. After all, the Navy does not have many types of carrier-based helicopters.

"Yes, this is our own version. Compared with the original French product, its biggest feature is that it is cheaper." Qin Tao introduced: "The version we produced has the same performance as the French product, but the price Only two-thirds of theirs, which means that you can buy nine for the price of six. For your aircraft carrier, it carries six helicopters and leaves three spares in the land base. It should be the most suitable.”

 How to compete with French products? Of course it’s the price advantage!

"Moreover, we are currently researching corresponding ship-borne early warning helicopters based on this kind of helicopter." Qin Tao continued: "Everyone should know that our current 001 aircraft carrier is a ski-jump takeoff aircraft carrier. This kind of aircraft carrier is not suitable for carrying ships. To carry fixed-wing early warning aircraft, currently we can only use ship-based early warning helicopters first.”

 In fact, for football countries, carrier-based early warning aircraft have not been considered at all. After all, they are too expensive. However, if they can be equipped with ship-based early warning helicopters, it will definitely take the combat capabilities of their aircraft carriers to a higher level.

The lessons of the Falklands War are still fresh. The British Navy was unable to detect anti-ship missiles flying low-altitude and sea-skimming in time because there were no carrier-based early warning aircraft!

Although the British Navy has long been aware of this problem and began to develop the Sea King early warning helicopter in the 1980s, this helicopter was only successfully developed in 1985 and had no chance to be tested on the battlefield.

 Qin Tao's words immediately aroused their interest.

“Do you use the side arrangement of the big ball?”

The Sea King early warning helicopter has a big ball on the right, with a search radar installed inside.

Qin Tao shook his head: "Of course not, that method is asymmetrical. The burden on the helicopter will be too heavy."

“So, you are using the Ka-31 tablet version?”

 There are only two types in the world, one is the ball and the other is the tablet.

“The Ka-31’s flat plate needs to be rotated, and the area is too large. During the rotation process, once it encounters too strong airflow, it will cause the body to shake, which is not our best choice.”

So everyone was confused: "What method do you want to use?"

“We use active phased array radar. Do you know this radar technology?”

 Active phased array, currently the most popular and also the most difficult radar!

“Do you already have this technology?”

“Yes, we are currently developing this technology and it will be installed on our aircraft soon.”

The helicopter landed slowly. When everyone got off the plane, they were surprised to find that they were standing on the deck of Dongfang's 001 aircraft carrier!

Cabral immediately became excited: "This deck is so big, you can definitely play football on it!"

At present, the 001 aircraft carrier is in the further outfitting stage, and various internal cabins are being improved. Therefore, the deck of this aircraft carrier does not need to be processed. Except for the island being covered with scaffolding, the entire deck looks very empty.

"Everyone wants to come here to have a look, so we meet your needs." Qin Tao said: "The flight deck you are stepping on has been where our J-15 fighter jets have taken off and landed many times. The black traces here are Tire tracks where we once were.”

Everyone was amazed when they looked at the black traces. This would never happen when their Minas Gerais operated the US-made S2 anti-submarine fixed-wing aircraft. After all, their aircraft was too light.

The J-15 fighter jet landed with a weight of more than 20 tons. The impact was quite huge. It was definitely harder than a car braking suddenly. The tire marks were normal.

“The development of your navy is so amazing. You seem to have become a world-class naval power overnight,” Cabral said.

After finishing speaking, he suddenly looked at another warship on the outfitting dock nearby, with surprise in his eyes: "Excuse me, what is that ship?"

That ship?

Looking at the beautiful appearance, Qin Tao said calmly: "It is our navy's frigate No. 666, specially prepared for the return of the Pearl of the Orient. If you want to see it, I can take you to see it up close. "

At first, Mingzhou Group did not want to take over because there was only one production task. However, because of the face of his father-in-law, Qin Tao had no choice but to take over the business, and he also submitted a satisfactory answer to the navy.

 This is the most beautiful frigate!

It adopts a central bridge design, with a superstructure starting from the bow and ending at the helicopter landing platform at the back. This perfectly solves the problem of internal crowding even though the displacement is only over a thousand tons. At the same time, It also reduces the overall height of the warship, which represents a new height in the field of warship design.

At present, there is only one such warship, which is just for show. After all, the Navy still has a large number of frigates in service. What the Navy needs most is professional air defense ships. Only in the future, when the Navy is free, can such warships be used Put down the dumplings.

 However, this kind of warship has been spotted by guests from the football country!

For football countries, they spend a lot of money on military expenditures, but not much on equipment purchases. In order to update their fleets, they need cheap warships. In later generations, they even relied on purchased second-hand frigates to play a major role. , It’s different now. You can use the money to buy a second-hand warship to buy this brand-new stealth frigate. It looks very classy.

The aircraft carrier's island is still being outfitted, and there is a lot of scaffolding outside. Therefore, the personnel must not be able to go up. They can only look around on the deck, then get off the outfitting dock, and then rush to That frigate No. 666.

 After a long period of outfitting, the construction of this frigate is nearing completion, and all kinds of weapons and equipment are almost installed.

"Due to space constraints, we have only installed four anti-ship missile launchers. If used for export, we can purchase C802 anti-ship missiles with a range of more than 100 kilometers. It is also our main anti-ship missile currently exported." Qin Tao started to introduce.

“Behind it, we installed a set of Haihongqi-7 air defense missile launchers, which can intercept anti-ship missiles flying at low altitudes and skimming the sea. The success rate of two salvos exceeds 95%..."

“For the naval gun on the front, we chose a caliber of 76 mm, which is also a commonly used caliber in the West to facilitate logistical supplies.”

 After walking around on it, Cabral became more and more satisfied with it. It has complete air defense, anti-submarine and anti-ship equipment, and the price given by Mr. Qin is also very low!

“If you purchase it, you can also install our data link system, and the communication link between the frigate and the aircraft carrier can be maintained at any time.” Qin Tao introduced it in detail: “It is definitely a good deal for you.”

  Arms export is definitely not just a few single weapons, it means a change in the entire military system. Once a football country purchases Dongfang's aircraft carrier, the supporting equipment will slowly be updated to the Dongfang system.

There are not many major systems in the world, such as the American system, the Soviet Union, the European system, etc. Only Asan in the world can put together various different systems. Once Dongfang opens up foreign markets, orders will come pouring in from now on.

Cabral is indeed tempted. Although he is only the deputy dean of the Naval Academy, he has many talents all over the world. Many of the active officers in the Navy are his students. Think about how much power this has. .

“We want detailed information about this warship,” Cabral said.

“Of course, no problem, we will bring you a copy when you leave.”

 After a whole day's visit, Cabral and others were very satisfied. After having a meal at the Mingzhou Group's guest house, they were arranged to enter the most luxurious room.

At this time, Xu Zhengyang finally had the opportunity to communicate with Qin Tao.

“Mr. Qin, the navy has not yet approved the export of this brand-new warship.”

"Zhengyang, it's not the first day you've been with me. Do you still need me to explain this kind of thing?" Qin Tao pulled off his tie speechlessly and threw it on the sofa aside. Zhao Ling stood beside him. Behind her, she began to squeeze his shoulders. It felt so comfortable!

Although they didn't come by helicopter together, Zhao Ling still came over in the afternoon. These days, she belongs to Qin Tao.

"Yes, Mr. Qin, you really have to explain. I must know what you think so that I can explain it to the navy."

 Xu Zhengyang is very determined.

"What's so difficult about this?" Qin Tao said, "Zhengyang, do you still remember how the foreign trade version of our 054 frigate was exported?"

Xu Zhengyang certainly remembered that at that time, the Navy insisted that the Hongqi-16 missiles carried on the frigates could not be exported. They were for the Navy's own use. As a result, Qin Tao quickly found an alternative: using Lao Maozi's Shikili missiles as high-end versions, and using domestically produced missiles. The Kaishan-1 missile was regarded as a low-end version and finally successfully opened up sales.

If the 054 can do this, then of course there is no problem with the 056. After all, almost every weapon above is not unique to the country. The Haihongqi-7 is the French Sea Rattlesnake and can be sold everywhere. The C802 , and has been sold to many countries. The various radars mounted on it are also improved from old models from Lao Maozi and even domestic ones. Therefore, there is nothing on it that can be leaked.

 There's nothing more to it than that shell to bluff people.

 Therefore, there is no need to worry about leaking secrets when exporting this kind of warship. Even in China, this product is still a low-end warship.

Xu Zhengyang nodded: "Okay, Mr. Qin, I understand."

"By the way, in the next few days, arrange for them to go around and play, and I won't follow them." Qin Tao said: "Before they leave, give each of them a souvenir."

 “What souvenir?” Xu Zhengyang asked curiously.

“Just give us a Loongson computer!”

With the successful tape-out of SMIC, production is on the right track. Loongson computers have officially begun to go on the market. Using this kind of computer to send guests is high-end, and it can also continue to promote the power of the East in high technology.

Xu Zhengyang left, and Qin Tao looked at a computer in the room: "Xiaoling, have you turned on the video today?"

 “Well, it’s open. The ocean is growing taller again.”

"Let's go back to the capital tomorrow." Qin Tao made a decision. He was always running back and forth for work and couldn't even take care of his family. Qin Tao was also helpless. Anyway, two days with the guests from the football country was enough. The father-in-law couldn't say anything to save the other party's face.

“Well, it’s up to you.” Zhao Ling said with a smile, and then her face changed: “Hey, what are you doing?”

Qin Tao has already given her a princess hug.

 “What do you think?” Holding his wife in his arms, Qin Tao walked towards the big bed.

Regarding the foreign trade version of the 056 frigate, Qin Tao handed it over to Yang Dawei. It only took a few days for them to modify the design drawing on the computer. They also took care of other projects in the factory and then headed to the capital.

Flying by plane is so convenient. She set off in the morning and arrived home in the afternoon. Zhao Ling was very excited to see her long-awaited son. She held the child in her arms with tears in her eyes.

As for Qin Tao, he was called into the study by Wu Shengli.

“Taozi, you are getting better and better at cutting first and then reporting later. You sold the frigates of the Pearl of the Orient to the football country and you didn’t even say hello to the navy in advance?”

"Dad, you are wronging us. We are not selling that kind of frigate. We are selling the C13 frigate. Even though it looks somewhat similar to the 666, I can guarantee that it has nothing to do with the 666."

"Okay, I know you have a lot of excuses, but this kind of frigate is not the main warship of the navy, so even if it is exported to earn foreign exchange, there is no problem." Wu Shengli had already experienced Qin Tao's ability to talk nonsense seriously. . At this time, Wu Shengli was helpless when he heard Qin Tao say this. You kid, you are very good at making excuses.

"The day after tomorrow, the group of people who went to the plateau will come back." Wu Shengli said to Qin Tao: "We specially prepared a few banquets for them on the way, otherwise, they would have arrived today."

 “Well, thank you dad.” Qin Tao said. My father-in-law was also very interesting. He knew that hosting people from Football Country had delayed Qin Tao's time for two days, so he bought him another two days.

“The day after tomorrow the government will conduct a centralized computer procurement bidding.” Wu Shengli said: “Do you want to join in the fun?”

 Government procurement is just slow! Qin Tao couldn't help but sigh. It had been a few months since he last showed them the vulnerability of L Xiang's computer before he started bidding.

etc!

 Qin Tao seemed to have guessed something.

“Dad, I wonder if it has been in operation over the past few months?”

"Yes." Wu Shengli nodded: "Our navy has already decided to use our domestically produced computers. However, the relationship between government departments is complicated and various interests are intertwined. Therefore, after several months of tossing, we are now starting to bid. , the operation should have ended."

Wu Shengli did not say certain words, but the meaning was already clear: it is not easy for Loongson Computer to obtain government procurement, and there may be problems!

“What preparations do you think there is?” Qin Tao asked.

“They plan to use AMD processors to replace the original Intel processors, and have also cooperated with Microsoft to further optimize the win95 system. They promise that their system will not have a backdoor and can be used with confidence.”

"that's all?"

"that is it."

“Then they will wait until the bid fails.” Qin Tao said: “We can win the bid with an absolute advantage.”
