Chapter 818 22350-class frigate starts construction

  The biggest mistake they made was not catching Max.

   There is a grievance and a debtor, they have the ability to trouble Qin Tao!

Of course, if they could find it, they would definitely trouble Qin Tao. The problem is that Qin Tao never gave them a chance. Over the years, Qin Tao has been very cautious, not to mention the United States, even Maple Leaf Country and Kangaroo country does not go to these countries, and even Europe rarely goes. When he travels on business, he often takes activities in the countries with which he has the best relationship, such as Da Mao.

  So, this time the Mingzhou Group had an accident, and Da Mao quickly began to support it.

   "In order to support the just cause of the Mingzhou Group and to support the space industry of mankind, we have decided to support the Mingzhou Group. We will crack all the computer software of the American company and put it on the Internet for those who need it!"

   Crack the software!

This trick is even more ruthless. You must know that in this era, software is charged for use, and the cost is not low. A set of genuine Windows system costs several hundred, and a set of professional drawing software even costs thousands. In many cases, software is more expensive than hardware.

Although there have always been pirated software on the Internet, these software basically live in the dark, and few people take it out with great fanfare. Now, Da Mao's hackers are very rude. After cracking the American software, they openly Free for worldwide use.

  There is free software, who will use it for a fee? Now those software companies are in a hurry.

  Countless pressure poured into the White House, reprimanding them for breaking the rules, causing things to get out of hand. If it continues, all high-tech companies in the United States will go bankrupt.

  Under heavy pressure, the White House finally compromised.

Max walked out of the dark cage and saw the sun again. During this time, he didn't know what happened outside, but he was firm. Mr. Qin would definitely find a way to rescue him, because Mr. Qin once said that he would land on Mars , and Max is the most determined one, Max will turn Mr. Qin's idea into reality.

   As long as he pleads not guilty.

   During this period of time, his heart has been very peaceful. With time in it, he will continue to conceive the idea of ​​landing on Mars. He has no distractions, and he has thought about many things more thoroughly.

   Click, click!

  The sound of the camera sounds.

   "Mr. Max, you have regained your freedom, do you have anything to say?"

   "Mr. Max, will you stay in the United States next?"

   "Mr. Max..."

Numerous reporters rushed forward and asked all kinds of questions. Looking at these people, Max smiled: "Dear friends, I believe that although the road to Mars is full of difficulties and dangers, as long as we go on bravely, we will surely succeed." It will work!"

"Some people don't have the skills themselves. When they see other people's research and development and progress, they will envy, envy and hate, and they will try to stop you in various ways. Such people are blocking the wheel of history, and they must Will be crushed by the wheel of history!"

  Although Max doesn’t know what’s going on behind the scenes, he must create momentum now. He must continue to create momentum for landing on Mars. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he can attract more investment.

   "Humanity will never stop exploring the universe! If certain powers are incapable, then they should withdraw from the stage of history and let our starship company do it! Please stop wasting taxpayers' money!"

   "I believe that one day, our starship company will successfully land on Mars, and we will smile at the intrigues on the earth with disdain. We are ashamed to be with them. Our future is a sea of ​​stars!"

   There was applause around. It has to be said that Max’s speech was quite contagious. I don’t know how many people were moved by his speech. Then, a large amount of donations poured into Starship Corporation.

Max regained his freedom, his prestige is even higher, and NASA, those leaders who have been exposed to their shameful side, left sadly. Mary packed up her things and left with mocking eyes. She was very angry in her heart. These damned idiots Well, if they admit defeat this time, it will only make the Mingzhou Group even more unscrupulous!

   White house.

   "I'm really not reconciled, it will be such a result!"

"What can we do? This is already the best ending. Our Internet has not been further hit, and many of our high-tech companies have not been lost. Moreover, doing so will make that President Qin relax his vigilance. , we will find a chance to catch him, and then we will really grasp the weakness of the Mingzhou Group! Maybe the entire Mingzhou Group will have to be sold to our shipyard!"

   These people are still dreaming sweet dreams.

   "Michael, have you summed up your experience? In the next cyber attack, can you give us a good counterattack?" Someone looked at Michael.

   "Everyone, we conducted a statistics and found that our computers using Intel processors are the most vulnerable to attacks and the easiest to be controlled." Michael did not have their ease, and his tone was very heavy.

   "What do you mean? You just say it, don't let us guess."

"What I mean is that they probably found a vulnerability in our Intel processor, and then used this vulnerability to attack us." Michael said: "At present they have not announced it to the public, and they should keep this as a secret. "

secret?

  Everyone has an ugly face.

   "Then what should we do? Eliminate Intel computers completely? Then what do we use? AMD or Godson? Aren't we being controlled by the Orientals in the future?"

Michael didn’t say a word, this is an unsolvable problem, even if it is AMD, it also uses the chip factory in the east to manufacture, so the people in the east know all the designs of their processors, it’s easier to find loopholes, it’s just a matter of exploiting or not .

  Godson computer? Then there is no secret at all.

There was chaos in the white house, and no one could come up with a reliable solution. On the other side, a special plane from the Mingzhou Group Transportation Company brought Max back from the United States. However, for better publicity, the special plane did not directly Instead of landing in Qiongzhou, it landed in Huating.

In Huating Airport, the reporters surrounded the inner three floors and the outer three floors. Even the security guards were two or three times more than before. When Max stepped off the plane, countless reporters rushed up and broke through the human wall formed by the security guards. up.

  Mingzhou Group had already pre-arranged this matter, and Max immediately jumped onto a high platform beside him, looking down at the reporter.

  The reporters rushed to the front and couldn’t go up. They looked up at Max and felt that Max was taller. At this moment, Max seemed to be a returning king, and he was also very excited, looking down with piercing eyes.

"My friends from the press, thank you for your support. If it weren't for the help of your friends from the media, I wouldn't have been released so soon." Max had already learned about the whole incident on the plane, and knew that Mr. Qin had done his best. This group doesn't care about good or bad, and only reports on the most eye-catching.

  But in front of reporters, you still have to say that. This is a group that must not be offended, and you have to compliment them.

"As soon as I got off the plane, I breathed a breath of fresh air, with freedom and ideals in the air. I like the land here. I decided that I will not go anywhere in the future. I will be on the land of the East. , to fulfill the great dream of landing on Mars."

   "Excuse me, Mr. Max, are you going to become an Eastern nationality?"

   "Of course, if it is possible, after all, Eastern nationality is the most difficult to join. Here I can be respected and realize my dreams. You have also seen what happened to me in the United States."

   "Mr. Max, what are you going to do next?"

   "Mr. Max, have you tried to cooperate with NASA before?"

"That's right, I used to consider working with NASA to help them launch spacecraft and help them launch and maintain the International Space Station, but now, I have lost trust in them. Next, I will concentrate on researching reusable rockets. I will cooperate with the space departments in Europe and the East, and no matter what difficulties I encounter, they will not stop me from landing on Mars." Max said: "Our starship company has always been committed to low-cost access to space, and those bloated The bureaucratic space agency of the United States is completely different. I promise here that within ten years, we will be able to sell tickets to the public for as little as $100,000 a ticket. Anyone who wants to go to space will With this opportunity, this is no longer an industry monopolized by certain institutions, but an industry for the general public!"

  His remarks have always been belittling NASA, and this time he has completely torn face with NASA.

   After accepting questions in front of the reporters, it took more than half an hour before Max bid farewell to these reporters, left the airport, and got in the car. Mr. Qin was already waiting for him in the car.

   "Max, you have been wronged." Qin Tao said.

   "No, it's all for the advancement of human spaceflight. They are just a bunch of clowns, Mr. Qin, thank you for everything you have done." Max is very sincere.

  President Qin's energy is too great, and his attack method is very special. He was able to come out this time, and hackers played a big role. Mingzhou Group won this battle by taking advantage of its advantages in electronic computer technology.

  Qin Tao nodded: "If you want to join our country, I will handle the formalities for you. There are many foreigners in our Mingzhou Group who choose to stay in the East for the rest of their lives."

   "I want to stay in the East." Max's attitude is very firm: "I don't want to fight with them meaninglessly, it's a waste of my time."

When I first met Max, Qin Tao just fooled him. Later, he got a batch of engines, and he simply fooled Max into building a starship. Qin Tao knew that people like Max would not be willing to be subordinated to others, so he was always on the road. Be prepared, once Max leaves, he can continue the starship project.

   But I didn’t expect that the Americans were too stupid to detain Max, and then tried to use Max to threaten themselves. Now it’s all right, and they gave Max to themselves.

   Now, Max has to work on the starship in a down-to-earth manner, and he will never have other ideas.

  With the return of Max, this incident came to an end, and Qin Tao did not take a break. Then he returned to Mingzhou without stopping.

  Mingzhou Shipyard builds all kinds of warships all year round. It has long been familiar with orders from foreign customers, but this construction order is of great significance.

  This is Lao Maozi's order!

  On this day, almost all the old men in the Mingzhou Shipyard got the news: Da Mao decided to build a brand new 22350 frigate from the Mingzhou Shipyard!

  When they heard the news, their hearts were filled with emotion.

   "Ten years ago, when the Red Empire was the most powerful, we had to launch tens of thousands of tons of warships every year! Fortunately, Da Mao was so downcast that he wanted to come to the East to order warships."

"Yeah, the Red Empire collapsed, and all countries are devastated. I heard that the shipyards are almost going bankrupt. Thanks to our quick action, we came to the East in advance. If we still stay there, we may not even have wages now." Can't get it."

"Yeah, it's useless even if you get it. Have you heard of it? How terrible the inflation rate has been in recent years! Many people's wages, if they don't spend all the salary in the current month, will be lost in the next month." Only a few bottles of vodka left!"

  Da Mao came to the East to order frigates. In their eyes, this was a phenomenon of the decline of a powerful empire to the extreme, and it was also a sign of the strength of the East. Their hearts were filled with emotion.

  For high-level people, the view is different.

   "Your Excellency Nikolai, we meet again." Makarov and Babich looked at Nikolai who got out of the car with complicated expressions on their faces.

   Once upon a time, they often met in Ermao's shipyard. At that time, they had been discussing the progress of the heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser. When stepping on the large flight deck, everyone was proud.

  That era has passed, and now they continue to work in full swing in the East. It seems that nothing has changed except for a change of location, and it seems that everything has changed.

"Yes, we meet again." Nikolai said: "Our cooperation was very pleasant before, this time, I hope we can continue to cooperate happily, Makarov, you are the general manager of our 22350 frigate this time person?"

"Yes, I heard that I was going to build this warship for Da Mao, so I volunteered to come here, Nicholas, please rest assured, I will do my duty as before, and I will walk around on the 22350 frigate every day. Hand over this warship to Da Mao with high quality and high standards."

Mingzhou Group has two aircraft carriers under construction, and someone needs to be in charge of both, but now Mingzhou Group has a lot of talents, and many people can be the chief designer of aircraft carrier construction, even if Makarov and Babich are not there There is no problem with first-line supervision.

   The frigate built for Da Mao is of even greater significance, so Makarov decided to mount it himself, and since they are all old men, it is easy to communicate with each other.

   "Yes, Makarov, I hope we can cooperate happily in the future." Behind Nikolai, Shishkin said.

Only one frigate will be built in the east, and the follow-up frigate will still be manufactured on Da Mao's side, so Shishkin also came along with him, mastering more essentials in the construction, which is convenient for Da Mao to manufacture domestically, and it can be obtained in this way. A business trip subsidy, after all, their Northern Design Bureau is too poor.

   "Shishkin? You're here too? Well, we can work together again in the future." Makarov was also very happy.

Back then, the Northern Design Bureau designed the heavy-duty aircraft-carrying cruiser, and the Nikolayev Shipyard built the aircraft carrier. The two sides cooperated seamlessly. Although Shishkin was not the chief designer at the time, he often went to the shipyard. Both parties knew each other, and now they meet again here .

  Qin Tao was also very emotional, and a poem appeared in his mind.

   It is often seen in King Qi’s house. Cui Jiutang has heard of it a few times before.

  However, it seems that it is not suitable for the occasion. It is better to say that we are all from all corners of the country, and come together for the same goal!

   "Nicolas, the time is almost up, how about you go up and speak first?" Qin Tao pointed to the rostrum set up in front of the berth.

  Nicolas nodded, and strode up.

"Our Da Mao and Dongfang have had many friendships since ancient times. Now, after the collapse of the Red Empire, our relationship has further developed. We cooperate in the field of energy. We have a common position on many major international issues. Just recently, when Max When Mr. was detained for no reason, we also contributed our own strength, and this time, we came here with full expectations to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony of the 22350 frigate!"

"In the past ten years, our Da Mao Navy has not added a brand new warship. Of course it is not suitable for us. We have been planning to produce and equip brand new warships. Until today, these plans have finally become a reality. For us, this is a new beginning, we will bid farewell to the backward warships of the past, and we will have brand new modern warships!"

   "Now, I announce that the first ship of the 22350-class frigate, the Gorshkov, has officially started!"

  The plasma cutting machine that had been prepared long ago began to cut the first steel plate. When seeing that steel plate, Shishkin frowned suddenly.

   "Boss Qin, if this steel plate is used on the bottom of a warship, isn't it too thin?"

  Although they had seen the design drawing long ago, the detailed dimensions were not marked on it. Now that they saw the steel plate, they already felt that something was wrong.

  The bottom of a warship must be immersed in seawater all year round, and it will inevitably be eroded by seawater. It may also run aground when sailing in shallow sea areas, so it must have sufficient strength. The first steel plate cut must be the bottom of the warship, isn't it too thin?

"Mr. Shishkin, don't worry. Although the steel plate is thin, it is strong enough and there will be no problems. After the hull is manufactured, it will be tested in the sea here. It will never be broken by wind and waves after going out to sea." Qin Tao said.

Of course Ah San's frigate was broken in the wind and waves. Shishkin knew that the Easterners must have tampered with it. Now he seems to understand that it seems that he can do it without tampering, as long as the label of the steel plate is changed. up.

  Oriental people use high-grade ones, even if they are thinner, they can withstand various tests! But what about Da Mao? Do they have this kind of steel plate in China?

   Back when they were able to build aircraft carriers, they were able to produce high-strength steel, but that is all in the past. After so many years, can steel factories continue to produce the same type of steel? If they can't produce it, how can they produce the same type of warships in China?

  He already felt bad.

   "President Qin, why did you design and use such a thin steel plate? Even your warships don't use this level of steel, right?"

"Well, of course, it is to meet the needs of your navy. The displacement is smaller and there are more weapons on it. Then there is no way but to reduce the weight of the hull. We use this kind of steel to make the hull at least Reduce the weight by two hundred tons, how many missiles are enough for these two hundred tons?" Qin Tao rolled his eyes at the other party: "If it is thicker, the number of missiles carried will be halved, will the Navy be satisfied?"

   While talking, the steel plate has already been cut, and then it enters the 3D CNC bending machine. In the eyes of everyone, the steel plate is easily pressed into the corresponding shape and formed at one time!

  Constructed in the East, the speed is fast and the cost is low, because they have all kinds of advanced equipment! Looking at the CNC bending machine, Shishkin was envious for a while.

  The bent steel plate was put on the berth, and the welding process began when the second steel plate came up. Everyone was even more surprised when they saw that the mechanical arm on the side was aligned with the weld seam and started welding automatically.

   Even welding has been automated!

   It’s no wonder that in recent years, although the Mingzhou Group has expanded its scale, it has no welders all over the world, because they already have machines that can replace a large number of welders to do this repetitive work.

   "It's all automated, wouldn't it be possible to build a frigate in a few months?" Shishkin asked in surprise.

"If it's just welding, it will take a few months, but to build a warship, it's not just welding, there are other tasks to be done." Qin Tao said: "The later outfitting and so on cannot be automated. Take your time."

Shishkin nodded, looking at the sparks of the arc, still full of envy, then he turned his head and looked around. On the berth, there was another huge ship, which was an aircraft carrier built for Gou Dahu. At this time, the hull had begun to take shape. In prototype form, it looks spectacular.

  Beside the aircraft carrier is an Aegis battleship, which is almost ready to launch. Looking at the opening of the phased array left on the bridge, it makes people imagine.

  In the dock in the distance, there is still a super aircraft carrier under construction. From the modules next to the dock, it can be seen that it has been built to the rear of the hull.

  The scale here is even larger than the original Nikolayev Shipyard.

   "President Qin, can we see other warships?"

   "Of course not, everyone, there are a lot of secrets here, you must pay attention, you can't inquire about projects that have nothing to do with you, let alone try to get close, otherwise if someone finds out, I can't protect you."
