Chapter 792: It’s time to start construction on the big dog’s aircraft carrier

“Mr. Qin, let’s talk about the purchase of this engine next.” Zamotaeva walked up to Qin Tao holding a wine glass: “Where do you plan to sell this engine?”

The gas turbine has been tinkered with, and life tests can be done slowly. At the same time, buyers have to be found. After all, they started the company to make money. Tianjiao Aviation is already the most profitable department of Motor Sich Company, and R&D investment Having invested a huge amount of money, of course I want to recover the cost as soon as possible.

"Tomorrow, I will go to the Middle East to try to sell our gas turbines to big companies." Qin Tao said: "They will definitely be willing to use this advanced gas turbine to replace outdated boilers. How many dollars will we sell each unit?" For tens of millions of dollars, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”

Zamotaeva nodded: "Since Mr. Qin has this plan, it would be great. If necessary, I can follow you to promote it."

“No need, you should look after the house, I’ll be there.” Zhao Ling said from the side.

 Zamotaeva did not insist. She knew that she had no chance to be alone with Qin Tao. Even if they were alone, nothing would happen. It was a pity.

 “Besides the big dog owners, are there any other users?”

“Of course, the large warships we build in the future will all use this kind of gas turbine. Moreover, in addition to being used on ships, it can also be used on land. There is no problem in selling three to five units every year.”

 This level of gas turbine is different from ordinary engines, and there are a lot of single-digit orders every year.

 Zamotaeva nodded.

 The distant Middle East, the hot desert, the wealthy dog ​​owners.

“I heard that Dongfang has developed a 40-megawatt gas turbine and successfully ignited it.” In the magnificent building, the old man sitting in the seat spoke.

"Yes, it happened yesterday." Salman said: "Dongfang's technical strength is very strong. Even the UK does not have an engine of this level, but Dongfang came up with it first. We chose the prosperous Mingzhou Group to cooperate. , is the best choice.”

"Yes, it's the best choice. There are too many warships on their slipway. When are they going to start construction on the aircraft carrier they are building for us? Do we have to wait until their aircraft carrier is launched?" The old man couldn't wait any longer.

That's right, the Mingzhou Group is too busy and cannot build an aircraft carrier for them if the slipway is empty. After the football country's aircraft carrier is launched, Dongfang's own aircraft carrier enters the dock. Therefore, we have to wait until Dongfang's aircraft carrier is built. Make space available.

 This will have to wait for a few more years.

Salman is also a little embarrassed. When discussing business with Mingzhou Group, the issue of construction was also mentioned, but this really had to wait.

“Report, there is news from Mingzhou Group that General Qin plans to lead a team to inspect our place.”

"What, Mr. Qin is coming? That's great. When will he arrive?" Salman became excited.

“They are waiting for our answer. After we agree, Mr. Qin’s special plane can take off at any time.”

“Please ask him to take off immediately, we are here to prepare the reception.” Salman said. After finishing speaking, he glanced at the old man in the seat. Is this appropriate arrangement for him?

The old man nodded: "It seems that President Qin came here for a purpose. That kind of gas turbine is very suitable for large warships, right?"

"That's right, if there were gas turbines, we wouldn't have to burn boilers. Gas turbine warships are more useful." Salman was very excited: "Even if we spend tens of millions or even 100 million more, we all need to have this kind of Advanced equipment.”

The old man nodded, and then continued: "The Dongfeng-3 we purchased from the East has been exposed to the wind and sun in the desert for more than ten years. That batch of weapons should also be updated. I remember your last report, explaining that the state group's Mr. Qin has also raised this matter. Since Mr. Qin is here this time, let’s mention it again and see if Mr. Qin has the ability to contact us. This time, we want more advanced solid rockets.”

Salman nodded: "Okay, I will definitely ask."

“Subsonic flight is still too slow. It would be great if there was a supersonic passenger plane!” Qin Tao said with emotion on the private plane.

"As for supersonic passenger aircraft, the Mikoyan Design Bureau planned to build a supersonic business jet based on MiG-25 technology, but in the end there was no follow-up. A business jet of that level would not have a very far range. Mr. Qin, if you want it, it would be more appropriate for us to improve on the H-6J." On the special plane, Zhao Dangsheng, who was traveling with him, said.

Although they were going to talk about the aircraft carrier, after all, the aircraft carrier still needs carrier-based aircraft. After some deception by Qin Tao, Gou Dahu also chose a vertical take-off and landing fighter jet. This time, Zhao Dangsheng happened to go with him to introduce this The progress of this fighter jet.

Hearing Qin Tao's lament about the supersonic passenger plane, Zhao Dangsheng immediately made suggestions.

The Tu-22M is a large MiG-25, especially the huge air inlet, which is very similar to the MiG-25. The imitation H-6J has the ability to penetrate defenses at supersonic speeds at low altitudes, not to mention supersonic at high altitudes. It can fly at the speed of sound. If it is converted into a passenger plane, the load capacity will be reduced and the fuel capacity will be increased. It can really continue to fly at supersonic speed for long distances.

"Forget it." Qin Tao shook his head: "Changing it alone is too time-consuming, and there are risks. I don't want to be hit by missiles in a daze."

The appearance of a passenger plane should not look like a bomber, otherwise it will easily arouse others' vigilance. Flying at supersonic speeds, even on civil aviation routes, can easily be misunderstood. If a country's air defense warning is triggered, and then someone scrambles to intercept it, plus the pilot If you are nervous and your hands shake just a little bit, you will be in big trouble.

 You can argue afterwards that what we saw was a bomber!

If he knew that the plane was Qin Tao's special plane, it would be easier for something to happen.

Xu Zhengyang nodded. Mr. Qin’s consideration was very thoughtful, so he had to think like this.

 Safety first, it doesn’t matter if you go slower.

When we arrived at the capital of Goudahu, it was just in the afternoon. The scorching sun was shining on the ground, and water vapor could be seen rising to the naked eye. As for the ground outside, it was probably ready for baking eggs.

 Fortunately, the plane docked directly to the dock at the airport, which was fully air-conditioned. At the special VIP entrance, a large group of people were waiting there with a piece of cloth on their heads.

"Mr. Qin, we are finally waiting for you." Salman said: "We originally planned to meet you directly on the runway, but it was too hot outside, so we could only greet you here. Our car parked directly below. Get in the car and go to the banquet hall, and it’s air-conditioned the whole time.”

“Yes, it’s too hot here.” Qin Tao said, “I just don’t know if the power supply here is sufficient?”

“Yes, too much air conditioning is used, which places high demands on power supply. We can guarantee power supply to big cities such as the capital, but many small cities and tribes may face power outages in hot summers.”

There are more places to use electricity, and the power supply is insufficient, so you need to stop some electricity. Any country will give priority to ensuring the power supply of large cities.

Qin Tao was overjoyed. It seemed that this kind of gas turbine could sell more. Although he was also developing a 100-megawatt land gas turbine, after all, it was not as fast as the current 40-megawatt gas turbine. If he wanted to satisfy his customers, Think about it, solve problems for customers.

“You have plenty of energy, but you just don’t have enough generators.” Qin Tao said, “Maybe we have a way to help you solve the problem.”

 If it were other countries, they might be able to promote nuclear power plants, but in energy producing areas like the Middle East, they can just burn oil or natural gas.

"Really?" Salman suddenly thought of something: "You mean, a 40-megawatt gas turbine?"

 They currently use gas turbines to generate electricity, but the power is only 20 megawatts. The East has 40 megawatts of gas turbines, and the output power of one can equal the current two.

Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, we have advanced gas turbines and advanced generators, which can definitely help you solve the problem of power shortage. We will talk about this project in detail later."

Salman nodded. This was just incidental. After all, they have more important projects now.

“Mr. Qin, please get in the car.”

Qin Tao and his party got into a uniform Rolls-Royce and headed from the airport to the capital city.

Zhao Ling looked at the scene outside the window. She hadn't been here for a long time. This exotic scenery was also very attractive. Of course, it was okay for sightseeing, but it would not be comfortable to live here for a long time. Unless you are a local, you will have comprehensive welfare benefits from birth.

“Welcome everyone.” The old man greeted Qin Tao and his party in the magnificent building. The treatment was very high, which even made Qin Tao feel flattered.

“Your Excellency Fahd, I am very happy to see you.” Qin Tao said, “You are our best friend in the East.”

"The East is also our good friend." The old man said: "For some reasons, we are very close to the West, but we know in our hearts that the West is only for the black wealth at our feet. Only the East is truly willing to help us. People. For example, more than ten years ago, when we needed suitable weapons to protect our motherland, you Dongfeng provided us with Dongfeng-3. Now, those weapons are still our most powerful guarantee, but , they have aged a bit.”

The other party just mentioned it briefly, and Qin Tao already understood what the other party's needs were.

“Don’t worry, you can choose any of our weapons with a range of 300 kilometers.”

"The range is only three hundred kilometers?" Everyone looked at each other in confusion. How can three hundred kilometers be enough?

"Yes, we have to abide by international regulations." Qin Tao looked at the increasingly unsightly expressions on everyone's faces and knew that he could not delay it any longer. He could only say quickly: "It's just that our technology is very poor, so this happened This missile has a huge error, which is beyond our control."

 “Error?”

 Everyone is getting more and more confused.

“Mr. Qin, what’s the error?” Salman asked cautiously.

 “The error is one thousand seventeen.”

 Everyone's mood is extremely complicated. When it comes to playing word games, Easterners are the most slippery.

More than ten years ago, when Dongfeng sold Dongfeng-3, it had good relations with the West and had not joined any anti-missile treaty, so it was sold without anyone forcing it. Now Dongfang still has not joined any anti-missile treaty, but it is obvious , there will be a group of people who will jump out to press, engage in long-arm jurisdiction, use the laws of their own country to dictate to others, and make irresponsible remarks, just like the bosses of the world.

 So, if you don’t want others to criticize this arms sale, you have to put it another way. Now Mr. Qin’s suggestion perfectly solves the problem.

 Your missiles exceed the standard!

  No, ours is a 300-kilometer range!

I have never seen a missile with a range of 300 kilometers so thick and long!

 That’s because our technology is lagging behind!

 How come the live ammunition flew two thousand kilometers?

 Errors are all errors!

Thinking about this kind of scene is enough to make people laugh. Even the old man smiled: "No wonder Mingzhou Group has developed so fast. It is inseparable from the leadership of Mr. Qin. Mr. Qin, you are The smartest international arms dealer I have ever met."

 “So-so, so-so.” Qin Tao was very modest.

"Everyone, please come in." After saying this, before entering the door, Fahd led everyone into the splendid building with a smile and came to one of the halls.

“Today, we are very happy that Qin from Mingzhou Group is always our friend! Forever friend! Now, let us raise a toast to our friendship!” Fahd said.

Everyone raised their glasses. The glass inside was not an ordinary drink, but the Goudahu Champagne that is only drunk in high-end places. Although it looked like champagne, there was no alcohol in it. It was a non-alcoholic cocktail, light and refreshing, and most suitable for Enjoy it during the hot season.

 A glass of alcohol-free wine seems to dispel the heat outside. The big guy continued talking and drinking.

"Mr. Qin, I heard that you already have an advanced gas turbine that can output 40 megawatts of power. I wonder if this kind of engine can be installed on our aircraft carrier?" Salman came over with a wine glass and asked Qin Tao raised his glass and said.

"Of course." Qin Tao said: "This kind of gas turbine is originally used for ships. There is no problem in driving an aircraft carrier of tens of thousands of tons. Your aircraft carrier is a 40,000-ton aircraft carrier. We only need to install two of them. ,only…"

 “But what?”

"It's just that we invested a lot of money in the research and development of gas turbines. The gas turbines produced in the early stage are expensive. If we switch from heavy oil boilers to gas turbines, the price will definitely rise. Our contract has been negotiated, and we have I don’t want to raise the price, this is not good.”

"Mr. Qin, money is not an issue. We want to modify the design. Of course we will pay for the extra funds. As long as your gas turbine is of reliable quality and can meet our needs," Salman said.

"There is no problem with the quality. If you are worried, we can sell you one first and use it to generate electricity on land. You can also test the performance of this gas turbine, which just alleviates the problem of power shortage." Qin Tao said: "Anyway, after the construction of our aircraft carrier starts, the gas turbine will not be installed until the main body is completed. During this time, you can try it out. If the quality does not meet your requirements, we can switch to steam boilers."

"Okay!" Salman nodded immediately. He mentioned the problem of the generator when he came, but he didn't take it seriously at the time. But now that it has reached this level, of course he can no longer refuse. They Not short of money.

By the way, how much is it?

"On land as well as at sea, we need to install additional generator sets. We might as well offer a unified price, 40 million per set. For those on land, we will also provide assistance in building a factory, but we are not responsible for laying the transmission lines." Qin Tao said: "Originally we planned to sell a set for 50 million US dollars, but we are friends and have collaborated on so many projects, so of course we have to give a friendly price."

This price is certainly not expensive. For a big dog owner, this amount of money is just drizzle.

"Okay, then it's settled!" Salman said: "Mr. Qin, when will the construction of this aircraft carrier start?"

 They have been waiting for a long time.

"Our slipway has been vacated. After discussing with you this time, we will go back to prepare and start construction within a week!"

One week!

 The good news came so fast, everyone was very excited, they were finally looking forward to the start of construction of their aircraft carrier.

“Then we must go there and attend the groundbreaking ceremony!” Salman was very happy. After he finished speaking, he thought of something else: “However, we haven’t given the aircraft carrier a name yet.”

  Name the aircraft carrier? This is simple!

Qin Tao immediately said a lot: "You can name them after creatures in the ocean, such as whales and sharks, which are more domineering. You can also name them after places, such as your capital, or even The name of your country."

 In later generations, there was the Goudahu, which was just a 3,000-ton frigate. However, the price was as high as 1.5 billion US dollars, which made people very emotional. This money was not only to buy arms, but also to pay protection fees.

Salman was still meditating, but Qin Tao had already set his sights on the old man: "You can also name him after your king."

 Animal names, people’s names, place names, these are all fine, what else makes it difficult to choose? There are all the weird date names like the Weeping Country.

Hearing Qin Tao's last words, Salman was very moved. He raised his glass: "Mr. Qin, let's have another drink. After finishing the drink, I will report your suggestion."

 “Okay, cheers.”

The two of them raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp. There was no alcohol in it anyway, so it didn’t matter how much they drank, it just filled their stomachs.

Salman walked towards Fahd excitedly and whispered in his ear, and Fahd nodded repeatedly.

After Salman finished his report, Fahd raised his glass and came to Qin Tao with Salman.

“Mr. Qin, your proposal is very good. We have decided to name this aircraft carrier Fahd!”

Looking at the excited face of the other party, Qin Tao knew that the person in front of him was a very face-saving person, and he would never let go of such an opportunity that would be passed down through the ages. Of course, this person has a good relationship with Dongfang, so it is very cost-effective for Qin Tao to send this favor.

“Okay, let’s drink to the bright future of the Fahd!” Qin Tao raised his glass.

Even if the aircraft carrier matter is finalized, the gas turbines will be upgraded, the money will be increased, and construction will start soon, etc., these are the most anticipated, and the subsequent conversations will become more and more friendly and casual.

“Mr. Qin, thank you for your contribution to our entire region.” Salman continued to talk to Qin Tao.

"Our country has become an oil importing country, and the demand for oil is increasing. We feel honored to be able to help maintain the stability of the oil region. Of course, our role is secondary. The most important thing is you. ." Qin Tao said: "As your strength becomes stronger and stronger, you should also have some new changes. For example, you can maintain peace and stability in your region without relying on external forces."

 Everyone present stopped talking and looked at Qin Tao.

"Of course, this is just my personal suggestion. We will not interfere in any of your decisions. We respect the system and sovereignty of any country." Qin Tao also felt that the topic he just talked about seemed a bit too big. He didn't know this Will people accept it.

“Mr. Qin, we know you have good intentions, but we just don’t know how we should do it?” Salman said: “Since what happened in 1991, many people have been criticizing us for bringing the wolf into the house.”

"Unite." Qin Tao said: "The people living in this land are all your brothers. As long as you unite, you can resist any interference from external forces. When you twist into a rope, you will There is no need to be afraid of any enemies. Of course, your beliefs are different, and you still have many historical issues. However, there is nothing that cannot be resolved through negotiation. If you need it, we can mediate in it, such as shaking hands with the Parthian state. Yanhe and so on."

 Everyone present was lost in thought.

"Since the collapse of the Red Empire, the world has become more and more unipolar. Certain countries can act unscrupulously and launch attacks on sovereign countries without international authorization. They can launch attacks brazenly this year, but next year, and the year after that, they may Continue to take action here and use trumped-up charges to eliminate your former friends." Qin Tao said: "The matters between you brothers can be resolved internally, and there is no need for outside forces to intervene."

"Okay, that's all I have to say. Now, let's raise our glasses and toast to our friendship!" Qin Tao didn't say much, and he knew that there would be no fundamental changes this time, but he A seed has been planted, and it will slowly take root and sprout in the future.

If the world wants peace, it must make a certain superpower less arrogant. It will be difficult to achieve this goal, but Qin Tao has no choice. He must start dancing as a **** as soon as possible and dig into their corners. As long as he can dance with the **** Well, there is no corner that cannot be dug. The preparations that can be made now must be implemented as soon as possible.

After finishing this drink, it was time to leave, but an official present still spoke: "Mr. Qin, your Loongson computers have the world's best performance. I wonder if you can export a batch to us?"
