Chapter 569 We want to achieve national rejuvenation

  Zhao Ling's face was flushed.

  Before participating in the meeting, she got the news that she was going to be on stage to accept the award and also to speak, so she also prepared a draft in advance, but now, she is still very excited to go on stage to receive the award.

  Qin Tao's eyes were full of encouragement: "Come on!"

  Zhao Ling nodded, eyes full of confidence, walked up to the small speech table beside the rostrum, looked at the countless colleagues in blue clothes below, and spoke.

   "Our Hongqi-16 missile has become the most important medium-range missile in China. We must first thank Mingzhou Group for its great help."

  My wife really doesn't understand officialdom, Qin Tao is a little helpless, why are you thanking our Mingzhou Group first? If you want to thank, you must first thank the motherland for its cultivation and leaders at all levels for their care!

   "The rapid development and continuous improvement of our missile is inseparable from the support of Mingzhou Group. After all, even many foreign media now call our missile Shikilisky."

   There was a burst of laughter from below.

"However, our missile system will continue to develop. The current range is 40 kilometers, which can only be said to be sufficient. Therefore, our next development direction is to further increase the range and improve the range under complex interference conditions. Its combat capability makes it the backbone weapon of the navy."

   "At the same time, we also look forward to obtaining an export license for this missile, which will also allow our weapon system to better meet the needs of competition. We will sell it to earn foreign exchange through export."

  The Navy treats Hongqi-16 like a treasure. After all, it is the backbone of the Navy's current frigates, so it has not been able to obtain export qualifications.

  However, as long as the newer Hongqi-16 missile is developed, the previous model can be exported. Qin Tao also raised his opinion, asking them to engage in competition. If they can’t export, how can they make money?

  Zhao Ling's speech did not talk empty words or big words, but only talked about real needs.

  After Zhao Ling finished speaking, Qin Tao was the first to applaud immediately, and then everyone in the conference room applauded together.

"Comrade Zhao Ling's speech is very good, everyone should learn from her, don't talk empty words, talk about something nutritious, and save everyone's time." Mr. Wu made a summary above, and then looked at Qin Tao : "I don't know what President Qin thinks about Comrade Zhao Ling's speech?"

"Her speech is very good. After the new Hongqi-16 is developed, the old model should actively seek overseas markets. We also look forward to the export-oriented frigates we produce can be equipped with our own weapon systems." Qin Tao said: "In this way It can also improve the competitiveness of our export warships. Not to mention our Hongqi-16, even our Haihongqi-9, if it can be exported, we will welcome it with both hands."

Now, Haihongqi-9 is still the main area air defense missile of the navy, and it will definitely not be exported, but this does not mean that it will not be exported in the future. In later generations, 052DE will be pushed to the international market. This kind of four-sided phased array radar The Aegis battleship is definitely a hot commodity in the international market. Only Yankees have the same type, but Yankees will not sell it casually. Those local tyrants in the Middle East will definitely welcome it.

There is no such foundation yet. After all, the domestic Aegis battleship has just begun to be built. It will take two or three years until it is launched into service. After that, it needs to continue to accumulate experience in the use of the navy to evaluate the 052B and 052C. One way is to wait until all these works are completed, then build in batches, and export to the outside world will be at least five years later, or even ten years later.

  However, Qin Tao will make this request now, that is, to put pressure on the aerospace system and let them know that they must speed up research and development and produce more advanced missile systems as soon as possible.

  Old Wu smiled on it: "President Qin, you are putting pressure on our Hongqi-9 R&D team!"

"That's right, I'm putting pressure on you. The basic model of Hongqi-9 is something to be proud of. However, you must not relax. You must continue to work hard. For example, the range must be increased to 200 kilometers, and you must be able to intercept The strength of ballistic missiles is what you need to do most at present. If you feel that the performance of your missiles is not up to par, then the Air Force will definitely continue to import S-300 missiles from Lao Maozi, especially Lao Maozi’s latest PMU2. model."

At the beginning, Qin Tao took the air force and went to the old Maozi to purchase. In order to make up for the shortcomings of the air defense system, he first purchased the S-300PMU system. Even the navy used two sets and put it on his 051C. The long-range air defense mission is only for emergency use, and it is used on the fleet in the north. When I joined the aircraft carrier formation last time, those two warships also came to join in the fun.

  Laomaozi's system is constantly being upgraded. The original system used 5V55R surface-to-air missiles with a maximum range of 90 kilometers and can deal with air targets with a speed of 4300 kilometers per hour. The subsequent S-300PMU1 adopted the 48N6E missile, which has a maximum range of 150 kilometers for targets and 40 kilometers for ballistic targets, and can deal with air targets with a speed of up to 10,000 kilometers per hour. Ballistic missiles, and the effect is better than the Patriot. As for the latest S-300PMU2, the 48N6E2 missile is used, and the maximum range of the target is increased to 200 kilometers.

  The current Hongqi-9 is only a model with a range of about 100 kilometers. In an increasingly complex environment, it can no longer perfectly meet the needs of air defense, especially the threat of ballistic missiles. The country still needs to have anti-ballistic missile capabilities.

   This important task cannot be carried by Hongqi-16, only by Hongqi-9.

  At this time, upon hearing what Qin Tao said, Mr. Wu smiled wryly and shook his head: "Boss Qin, you are really under a lot of pressure, and you provided it to us."

The original requirements for anti-ballistic missiles were not high. After all, ballistic missiles could not be intercepted in the first place, but now it is different. You must face the same problem. While beating others, others will also use similar means to beat yourself.

   Therefore, it is necessary to have the ability to intercept.

  If you go back to the source, the anti-ship ballistic missile was proposed by Qin Tao, so now, Qin Tao has to be blamed for this.

"Mr. Wu, if you say that, then I'm more wronged than Dou E." Qin Tao said: "I proposed this project, but the thing is made by your aerospace system. You can make spears yourself, of course you can do it yourself." You have to make your own shield, and then come to contradict yourself."

  Old Wu was even more helpless.

   Anti-ship ballistic missiles are of course a product of the aerospace system. Now, Qin Tao has shifted the responsibility to them again.

"When there is pressure, there is motivation. Our next stage of effort is to expand the flight envelope of the Hongqi-9 missile, and strive to increase the range to 200 kilometers." Wu Lao said: "No matter what the threat is, we have to withstand!"

"That's about the same. The range of 200 kilometers is only the second step of the Long March. Your missiles will eventually have a range of 400 kilometers or even farther." Qin Tao said, "There is no end to this road. "

   There is indeed no end to this, after all, the opponent is too strong.

Take the Americans as an example. They have always attached great importance to the threat of ballistic missiles. In order to be able to carry out sea-based anti-missiles, they have specially improved the standard-2 missiles specifically for anti-missiles. 3. The range index of this kind of missile is very abnormal. The most basic data has a range of 500 kilometers, and the furthest is even said to have reached 2,500 kilometers. ballistic missiles.

Although the range is very against the sky, the size of this missile is not large, the length is only 6.55 meters, and the diameter is only 0.34 meters; then compare the 40N6 missile in Lao Maozi's S400 long-range air defense system with a length of 8.4 meters and a diameter of 0.5 meters, but the range is only 400 kilometers.

  Why is this?

  The most important thing is the difference in flight routes.

Anti-aircraft missiles have been flying in the atmosphere, and the resistance is very high, while the standard -3 missiles are to intercept aircraft in outer space. After vertical launch, before the first-stage rocket falls off, the missile has almost been sent out of the dense atmosphere. The next few stages Rockets are almost always ignited in thin outer space, which naturally greatly increases the range of missiles.

  Of course, the rocket engine technology of the Yankee is indeed advanced enough. In short, the combination of various reasons makes the standard-3 missile have the ability to defy the sky.

  If the Yankees have them, our side must also have them. After all, our side may encounter the threat of ballistic missiles at sea in the future. The farther the range, the better.

  Anyway, Qin Tao doesn't need to engage in research and development, he just needs to tell the people in front of him his needs.

   Give them a little more pressure. If you don't work hard, the Air Force will still purchase the most advanced air defense missile system from Lao Maozi.

  Hearing Qin Tao say that the range is 400 kilometers or even farther, everyone present burst into wry smiles. This Qin always wants us to release satellites!

"Everyone, think about it, if there are anti-aircraft missiles with a range of 400 kilometers, then we only need to activate the radar on our side, and we can keep an eye on the planes across the strait and shoot them down at any time! You should know this How powerful the missiles are, the Air Force must have an urgent need, if we can't do it, then the Air Force will solve it through outsourcing."

   Now it's everyone's turn to open their eyes wide. That's right, why didn't we expect such an effect? If the range is 400 kilometers, then a defensive weapon like an air defense missile can become an out-and-out offensive weapon!

"That's right, Mr. Qin is right. We must aim at the needs of future wars and develop the weapons they need most for the army!" Mr. Wu immediately agreed with Qin Tao's proposal: "What are you afraid of with a range of 400 kilometers? We will definitely be able to do it!"

  The meeting lasted all day, and in the evening, the big guys sat in the restaurant for dinner.

  Qin Tao took his wife and sat down with a group of old people carelessly.

   "Boss Qin, you have made a lot of demands on us today, and many of us should have a headache." Elder Wang said with a smile, "You have to drink a few more glasses today."

"It's no problem, I, Qin Tao, have never been afraid of anyone at the wine table." Qin Tao also said with a smile: "However, don't look at your headaches now, in the future, you will thank me, and the army will also thank me , I will be a villain and let the army enjoy the results."

   "It's also for your group to enjoy the results. When missiles with a range of 200 kilometers or even 400 kilometers are developed, the existing ones will definitely be sold. The Chinese Aegis battleship will also become the main product of your group."

"That's right, this is also to let the military industry of our motherland go to the world and let the whole world know the strength of our military industry. On the one hand, we earn foreign exchange through export, and on the other hand, we use this method to win over more friendly countries. Why not do it? Woolen cloth?"

  Qin Tao raised his wine glass: "Everyone, since we live in this great era, we must shoulder our own great sense of historical responsibility! We want to achieve national rejuvenation!"

   "Listen, let's see how enlightened Mr. Qin is. Come on, let's toast together!" Mr. Wu raised his glass, and what Qin Tao said just now really made his blood boil.

  Shoulder a great historical responsibility! Realize national rejuvenation!

   After drinking a glass of wine, there will be more conversations. At this moment, Xu Zhengyang walked up to Qin Tao's side and whispered a few words in his ear.

  Qin Tao hesitated for a moment, then put down his glass helplessly.

   "Sorry guys, something happened and I need to go."

   Something happened?

  Everyone knew the importance and nodded one after another: "Boss Qin, you can go."

   "That's right, Mr. Qin, if we have a chance in the future, let's continue drinking."

  Qin Tao pulled his wife and said, "I also took Xiaoling away."

If Qin Tao was there, it would be no problem for Zhao Ling to sit beside Qin Tao, but if Qin Tao left, then Zhao Ling's level was not enough. Sitting with these old guys, what if she got drunk? manage?

  Qin Tao has to protect his wife.

  Zhao Ling got up slowly, apologized to everyone, and then left with Qin Tao.

  Being blown by the cold wind outside, her mind cleared up. After getting into the car, Zhao Ling asked curiously, "What happened? Is it from the group?"

   "Of course the group will be fine, why don't you go to help again, Xiao Ling, let's take you home first, and then I will go to the opposite compound."

   This is indeed on the way. Opposite the Huanglou Huilou is the compound at No. 14 Fuxing Road. The navy and air force are just across the road, so it is very convenient to do business.

  In the car, Zhao Ling looked at Qin Tao worriedly. She knew the discipline of keeping secrets. Since Qin Tao didn't say anything, it was inconvenient for her to ask.

   "Don't worry, it's all been arranged in the past, we have predicted it a long time ago, and, it won't take long, it will probably spread." Qin Tao said.

  Zhao Ling nodded and felt relieved.

  Qin Tao smiled and continued: "Actually, if you care about me so much, you might as well quit your job at the Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology and become my secretary. You will have access to these secrets."

Originally it was just Qin Tao's joke, but unexpectedly, Zhao Ling thought seriously, she bit her lip with her teeth, pinched the corner of her clothes with both hands, thought for a few minutes, and then said: "Brother Tao, or I will resign Bar."

  Zhao Ling really had this mental preparation. Even at the beginning, she shouldn't have taken over the Hongqi-16 missile project, and just worked as Qin Tao's secretary. That kind of life is actually pretty good!

  Zhao Ling is serious.

  Qin Tao was taken aback. He was just joking. His wife has grown into an important expert in the aerospace system. How could he give up his career just because of a word of his own?

   "Xiaoling, don't worry, wait until the modification of Hongqi-16 comes out. Isn't your next step to increase the range of Hongqi-16 to 70 kilometers? After reaching this level, you will resign."

  Zhao Ling nodded.

  The car drove into the compound. After putting Zhao Ling down, Qin Tao continued to go to the opposite side. When he entered the brightly lit office on the four-story office building, he saw a room full of people.

"Hey, Boss Qin is finally here." Mr. Lin said with a smile: "We are afraid that you will drink too much at the Aerospace Institute. Don't worry, we have prepared Moutai here, and we will continue to drink later. .”

  Qin Tao shook his head with a smile: "Old Lin, aren't you a joker? Besides my drinking capacity is not as good as that of a telephone pole, who else am I afraid of?"

  Qin Tao talked about the telephone pole that made great contributions to the introduction of the Su-27 a few years ago, and everyone was all smiles. The legend of this telephone pole has long been spread among them.

   "Okay, let's get down to business, the previous project has achieved results." Elder Lin said: "The Kingdom of David has decided to terminate our cooperation with us on the early warning aircraft project."

  Qin Tao had warned at the beginning that the risk involved was not small, but now, it is exactly as Qin Tao predicted.

  Although I know that what should come will always come, although I have already prepared. However, this matter still made everyone present feel aggrieved.

  The Wassenaar Agreement is to prevent the technological progress of the East. It is not enough for them to sign such an agreement, and they will continue to suppress it in other aspects, even the early warning aircraft agreement signed by their own side and the Kingdom of David.

"According to our original agreement, the Davids not only have to return our advance payment of 150 million U.S. dollars, but also have to compensate us for the loss of 600 million U.S. dollars." Qin Tao said: "With this money, the Air Force can be independent. Develop and equip early warning aircraft."

  I knew at the beginning that this agreement would face variables, so I made various restrictive clauses in the contract. Compensation is one of the most important clauses.

  The $600 million contract was paid in three installments. Now the Air Force has only paid $150 million. As a result, the project was terminated, all the money will be returned, and the Davids have to compensate their own full loss.

  The Davids lost their wives and soldiers this time.

  The price of early warning aircraft is expensive, and the Air Force itself insists on it. Now with this money, the Air Force can develop independently.

   "That's right, we think so too." Mr. Lin said: "We can use the money we got for our own early warning aircraft project. We can't rely on others, we can only rely on ourselves."

"The experts from Institute 14 haven't come yet." Qin Tao glanced at the people in the meeting room, and then said, "I don't know how much early warning aircraft technology they have learned from the Davids in less than a year. The next road, we should go on our own. Fortunately, our Mingzhou Group has developed an advanced processor chip, and the information processing system on the early warning aircraft can use our Godson processor."

Back then, when the British engaged in the fan-hunting early warning aircraft, the biggest problem was the insufficient processing power of the computer, which made it impossible to realize the scheduled tracking data. Now, the Mingzhou Group has an advanced Godson processor, which is also used on the navy's warships. It can be used on the Air Force's early warning aircraft.

The 14th institute is already able to produce the T/R components of the active phased array radar. In addition to the Godson processor provided by Mingzhou Group, even if the hardware of the early warning aircraft is available, when the compensation from the Davids arrives, the funds will also be available. All this can be started naturally.

"They will come tomorrow. After they come, we will have another negotiation, and then we will set off for the Kingdom of David, discuss the follow-up compensation with the Davids, and fly our plane back by the way." Elder Lin said: "It's a pity, We don’t have many large aircraft on hand, and the number of early warning aircraft that can be modified is limited.”

  Even with the efforts of Qin Tao, the navy and air force got a batch of Il-76 and Il-78, but it was still a drop in the bucket.

"It's unreliable to order from an old man." Qin Tao directly cut off some people's thoughts. With the development of the country's economy, the army can mobilize more and more funds. Therefore, when faced with a large aircraft When there is a shortage, everyone will think about continuing to purchase from Lao Maozi.

"In the old Maozi era, the Il-76 was produced at the Chkalov Aircraft Factory. After the collapse of the Red Empire, there were problems in the supply of various parts, and this aircraft factory is also going downhill." Qin Tao Analysis: "Now, there is no longer the ability to continue to produce Il-76. If we purchase from Damao and then hand it over to the Chkalov Aircraft Factory for production, we will face the super Japanese purchase with Asan. The same fate as Wang Hao, will be slaughtered by Lao Maozi once, or even several times."

   "What about the production at Antonov's side?" Someone asked.

"The output over there is very low, and the aircraft of the Ilyushin Design Bureau has never been produced, so if it is to be produced there, it will still be very slow and require a lot of capital investment. The deposit we paid in advance will become Fixed property there."

  Old Lin nodded: "Yes, Mr. Qin is right. It is unrealistic to continue ordering from Lao Maozi. It seems that we have to rely on ourselves!"

On their own?

  Everyone looked at Elder Lin with surprised eyes.

"The 603 Institute started the pre-research of large aircraft a few years ago. Now, the situation is very urgent. Therefore, it is time for us to start the project of developing large aircraft." Lin Lao said: "This is the solution to our problem." A must for the big aircraft problem."
