Chapter 878 Straight twenty first flight

The package project for a weak country and a strong army is a pioneering work of Mingzhou Group. Mingzhou Group is a large-scale multinational enterprise involved in a wide range of activities. Even if the customer has no money and wants to purchase equipment, there is no problem at all. A place without money is a poor place. , the resources in poor places have not been developed, as long as the resources are provided.

   If the customer is unable to mine resources, Mingzhou Group will help mine. In this way, many customers have come to their door, not to mention ordinary destroyers, even aircraft carriers.

  Mingzhou Group has won the recognition of countless customers and a large number of orders by relying on this working attitude of solving problems for customers as much as possible.

However, he has never had the idea of ​​North Kimchi Country. After all, the situation of this country is special. For example, outside capital will never be allowed to exploit their resources. They are all state-owned. Now, the other party actually wants Exchange resources for weapons and equipment?

  How to change?

   Ask Mingzhou Group to help mine resources? Will that be suddenly nationalized?

  Qin Tao had to cheer up.

   "How are you going to join this project?"

   "We have a lot of coal and iron ore in our country. These should be resources that Mingzhou Group is interested in. We hope to use these resources to exchange for warships." Yin Chengze said.

"You have these resources, but wouldn't it be better to export your resources to earn foreign exchange after mining them? Are you willing to exchange them with us?" Many other customers are also like this. They have resources and are also selling resources, but selling These resources will not buy equipment for the navy, they need new exploration and excavation resources.

  The situation in the North Kimchi Country is even more special. If they sell these resources, they must buy good things. Can they be directly exchanged for warships?

"Yes, under our current mining capacity, there is definitely no extra resource to exchange with you, but if you are willing to provide us with a batch of advanced mining and transportation equipment, then our export volume can increase Doubled, these extra production can be used to carry out this package project of a weak country and a strong army, and we need your equipment."

The original method of this plan was that Mingzhou Group funded the mining of mines. On the North Kimchi Country side, it became the Mingzhou Group to supply equipment, and then hand it over to North Kimchi Country, and they organized the mining by themselves. controlled by them. How much to sell and how much to Mingzhou Group can also be controlled.

  Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, the money for mining equipment can also be offset by the mined minerals. Do you still insist on 22350 frigates?"

   "That's right, only if we have this kind of warship can we fight our enemies and better defend our motherland!"

   "Then you still plan to ask for blueprints and build them yourself?"

"That's right, we have to build it ourselves, but we can't produce many of the above equipment ourselves, so we need to purchase it from you. These can be exchanged for iron ore and coal. However, we still hope that you can provide us with free drawing."

"Okay." Qin Tao agreed. Anyway, this batch of blueprints will be given to Lao Maozi, and it doesn't matter if you give it to Beijiaoguo. Since the other party has decided to do this kind of big business, there is no need to worry too much. up.

"However, you only built a few warships, which are still useless. In terms of conventional weapons, you are still behind the south." Qin Tao said: "In this regard, you should learn from the Kingdom of David. Look at them. When they need to strengthen a certain branch of the military, they choose the Air Force, after all, without air dominance, there is nothing.”

   "Boss Qin, you mean that you want to provide us with advanced stealth machines?" Yin Chengze felt his heart beating violently.

   "We won't provide it, but your relationship with Parthia is so good. If you get their self-developed fighter plane from Parthia, it has nothing to do with us."

   "Boss Qin, your suggestion is very important, and I will report it back as soon as possible." Yin Chengze said: "If we have a stealth machine, then we will have another means to defend our motherland!"

The air force of the North Kimchi State is quite large. They have thousands of fighter jets. However, among these fighter jets, only about thirty MiG-29s are capable of fighting the First World War. The recent series of wars In the above, the backwardness of this Red Empire era fighter jet has been shown. Under the premise that there is no confrontation system such as early warning aircraft, the combat effectiveness of this kind of aircraft is even worse. It is almost impossible to shoot down the enemy, and it will be shot down when it takes off.

  If it is replaced by a stealth machine, the situation will be different.

   They build a few frigates will not change the balance of forces, but if they have advanced fighters, it will be different.

   Sure enough, to do business with the Orientals, you have to show sincerity. After throwing out this package project of a weak country and a strong army, the Orientals began to sell various weapons!

  Yin Chengze is very excited. This time he has achieved much more in the East than last time!

  After the meeting, Qin Tao came to the old man's office with easy steps.

   "How is it? Did they make excessive demands?" Wu Shengli asked.

   "Dad, you should have listened to the whole process, right?" Qin Tao asked back.

The expression on Wu Shengli's face froze, and then he said: "This is a package project for a weak country and a strong army. You can get the news. If you send the advanced mining equipment, they will increase the production capacity, but all the ore and coal will be used. If it is sold and not given to you, what are you going to do?"

   Sure enough, the father-in-law didn’t trust the North Kimchi Country, and he was always worried that he would be tricked by them. Qin Tao smiled: “Dad, have you ever bought a car with a loan?”

  Wu Shengli shook his head, what car should he buy? There are people picking up and dropping off when you go in and out, just walk home.

   "Even if you buy a car with a loan, you have to install a receiver. If you don't pay the money when the time comes, the car will be locked remotely, let alone our mechanical equipment."

  Wu Shengli nodded, and then thought of something: "That's not okay, these devices are going to enter the mine, what if the signal from the outside world cannot be received?"

   "The countdown is one month, and it will be locked after one month. You need to enter a new unlock code to continue using it." Qin Tao said.

   "Then what if they decipher it?"

   "Decipher? Then just lock it. Dad, why do I feel that you are more worried about the North Kimchi Kingdom than I am?"

  Wu Shengli smiled: "I'm afraid you will be cheated."

   "Probably not. These are the most extreme situations. I use the stealth machine as a bait. They won't do anything too outrageous." Qin Tao has this confidence.

  Northern Kimchi Country acted quickly, and on the third day, Yin Chengze came to see him again.

"President Qin, regarding our package project for a weak country and a strong army, the superiors have already agreed. I hope we can sign an agreement as soon as possible, and you will provide us with a large amount of special mine equipment and transportation equipment. The extra iron ore and coal we mine can be used This is the text of our contract, please have a look."

Qin Tao took it over. Sure enough, these guys are smart enough. The iron ore and coal they mined are discounted according to the highest standards, and the equipment provided by Mingzhou Group, as well as subsequent drawings and technologies, are all in accordance with the highest standards. Lowest price ever.

   "According to this contract, our fourth-generation stealth aircraft will be sold to you for 15 million US dollars each?" Qin Tao smiled: "You can ask, what kind of aircraft can you buy with this money now."

  "President Qin, we are all good friends. I hope you can sell it to us at the cost price. We have obtained advanced fighters, so we can better protect our motherland and help you guard the country."

  Qin Tao shook his head: "The cost price is fine, but the price you offer is less than half of the cost. We can't do business at a loss. If you want it, we can give you a 20% discount on the market price at most."

   "What's the market price?" Yin Chengze asked, and the officials behind him also became nervous.

   "Currently, the price of our fourth-generation stealth aircraft is 100 million U.S. dollars. If it is 20% off, it will be 80 million U.S. dollars."

   "You guys are stealing money!" An official behind Yin Chengze couldn't help it: "The price can't be so high!"

"Everyone, what we want to sell is the fourth-generation stealth aircraft. This kind of aircraft is originally expensive, and the supply is still in short supply. Even if you sign the contract now, you will have to wait five years to get it. Judging from the depreciation of the US dollar After five years, the price may have increased to 200 million U.S. dollars, and now we are quoting you at 80 million U.S. dollars, which also has to bear inflation." Qin Tao said: "Besides, the price we quoted is all The price within the lifespan includes maintenance, stealth coating respray and other services, and there are two bases of ammunition. If you only want to buy bare metal, then we can give you another 20% off, which is 6400 Millions of dollars, this is already the reserve price, it cannot be lower than this.”

There are no cheap modern fighters. Look at the F35 of later generations. The version used by the US military is 78 million U.S. dollars, but the export is at least 150 million U.S. dollars. Even non-stealth aircraft are not cheap. Now a Su-30 costs 50 million U.S. dollars It is impossible for Dongfang to sell to the other party at a loss of more than US dollars. No matter how important the client claims to be.

   "If we buy bare metal, can we mount our own bombs?" said an official behind Yoon Sung-taek.

   "There is no problem with bombs, but for missiles, we can only mount missiles produced by us."

   "No, we can no longer import your missiles, which is not conducive to our logistical supplies. We hope to mount the missiles used by the MiG-29." The pair insisted: "In this case, we can purchase them at the bare metal price."

   "As long as you can provide the weapon interface data of the missile used by the MiG-29, then we can match it." Qin Tao replied: "But don't expect us to open the weapon interface, it is related to our confidentiality."

  How could Da Mao open up the weapon interface? The first batch of imported Su-27s in China can only mount Da Mao’s missiles. After these fighters are scrapped, the domestically produced J-11 can mount domestic weapons and equipment.

  So, when Qin Tao proposed this condition, he didn't intend that the other party would agree to it. Who would have thought that the other party would actually nod: "Okay."

   Did these guys decipher the weapon system?

  Pick up a sesame seed and throw a watermelon, these guys just want to be cheaper, use the bare metal price, and don’t know at all, if it needs to be maintained in the future, the price will be more expensive, definitely not as cheap as buying together now.

  The matter of the aircraft is finished in this way, and the next thing is the matter of the warship. The other party continued to carry forward the spirit of slack and asked for free drawings. Qin Tao agreed, and then raised the price of the above-mentioned weapon accessories.

After haggling until Qin Tao was about to throw up, he wanted to stand up and slap his **** and leave several times, and the other party would raise the price appropriately. After a whole day of tossing, Qin Tao was dizzy and swore that he would never talk to these guys again. Just talk about it directly, and let the people around you talk about it in the future.

  Back home, Qin Tao sat on the sofa, closed his eyes and meditated, a pair of soft and slender hands massaged his temples, and he knew it was his wife without opening his eyes.

   "You look tired today."

   "Yeah, those guys, it's too hateful." Qin Tao said: "I don't take a hair out of my hair, I always want to take advantage of it. I won't talk about it next time."

   "Well, next time we encounter this situation, I will come forward to talk on your behalf." Zhao Ling said.

   "Taozi, are you done talking?" Outside, Wu Shengli walked in: "How did it end?"

   "Dad, the contract is on the table, you can read it yourself."

  Wu Shengli read it again, and was a little suspicious: "They don't want services? They don't want missiles? Then how do they use it?"

   "Let's talk about it when we use it." Qin Tao said: "At that time, we have to pay according to the highest price, use it as we like, and don't have to pull it down."

   "Hey, these guys are really, by the way, Zhi-20 is about to fly for the first time recently, are you interested in going to see it?"

"So fast?"

"It's not fast, the last time we went to see it, the prototype has already started to be manufactured, and we are still waiting for our engine. It must pass all the test items and pass all the tests before it can be installed and used. Moreover, in terms of funding, the army and our navy It’s been a while, so the first flight is only now.” Wu Shengli said, “Why, are you interested in going to see it?”

   "Of course." Qin Tao nodded: "I promoted this project alone, and there are people I brought with me. Of course, I have to go to attend the first flight ceremony."

   "Okay, then let's go together."

   Hafei.

  The sky is clear and cloudless. Although the cold wind is blowing, everyone's hearts are full of fire.

   "Old Wu, are you here too?" Lu Hang's leader Ma Sheng greeted him with a smile.

   "Old Ma, you said that your father is the old leader of our navy, but you always compete with our navy over trivial matters!" Wu Shengli complained when they met.

Ma Sheng's resume is very special. He joined the army in 1968. At that time, he was a flamethrower in the chemical defense force in the army. He was the most likely target to be noticed by enemy snipers on the battlefield. But in September of that year, he was elected to the aviation school. Learned to fly, stayed in the Air Force after graduation and became a helicopter pilot.

In 1985, the Air Force carried out pilot ratings. He was one of the first batch of special-level pilots and belonged to the highest-tech. At that time, the country established the Army Air Force, and all the helicopters of the Air Force were allocated to the Army. Therefore, Ma Sheng returned from the Air Force. army.

  In Army Aviation, he has been rising all the way, and now he is in charge of the leadership of Army Aviation Equipment Technology. Among his work projects, Zhitwenty is obviously the most important project.

"We have to share the scientific research funds according to the order ratio, and your navy has decided to order more batches, so you should share more research and development funds in the research and development work." Ma Sheng said: "Old Wu, our friendship is friendship, and work is work. It’s two different things. Alas, it’s too late. During the military parade a few years ago, we could only drive the straight 9. When the next military parade, we must drive the more advanced straight 20!”

Ma Sheng was also the lead plane in the military parade a few years ago. He was the first helicopter to be inspected, but he still had regrets. He flew a Z-9 back then, which was only a four-ton helicopter. The Z-2 in front of him Ten is already a ten-ton general-purpose helicopter!

   "Let's go and see the helicopter." Ma Sheng and Wu Shengli walked side by side.

   "Cough cough." Wu Shengli coughed twice: "Old Ma, I think you should say hello to the people around me. Don't you always say you want to see my son-in-law?"

son in law?

   Ma Sheng looked at Qin Tao who was beside Wu Shengli. At the beginning, he thought Qin Tao was just a staff member brought by Wu Shengli, but he didn't expect it to be Mr. Qin!

There is no way, the lines are like mountains, Mr. Qin has been busy with the navy's projects, the air force's projects, and has little involvement in the army's projects, and has not had much contact with the Mingzhou Group. In order to protect Qin Tao's safety, Qin Tao also Basically, he didn't show his face to the outside world, so that Ma Sheng didn't recognize Qin Tao immediately.

  "President Qin, I'm very sorry, I didn't recognize you just now." Ma Sheng hurriedly shook hands with Qin Tao: "I've wanted to see you for a long time. Without you, our army's modern helicopters would not exist!"

   "Mr. Ma, don't you, you, you are too out of touch. I call you Mr. Ma, and you call me Taozi. How about it?"

  Ma Sheng smiled: "I'm not that old, call me Uncle Ma. Mr. Qin...Taozi, I have to thank you on behalf of the army. We will have an advanced general-purpose helicopter soon, which is at the same level as the Black Hawk!"

   "I'm here to help the navy. The army doesn't need to thank me. Besides, the engines and reducers used on the planes are all from our Mingzhou Group. We also want to make money. Come on, let's take a look."

  The helicopter has been towed to the tarmac, surrounded by a group of technicians to do the pre-flight inspection. Looking from a distance, it is almost exactly the same as the Black Hawk.

  Of course, if you look at the details, you can still see many differences.

  "Mr. Qin, when outsiders look at our plane, they can always blurt out Black Hawk. Can you find out the difference between it and Black Hawk?" Ma Sheng said to Qin Tao, as if he was testing him.

"There are many differences. Let's look at the top first. The black eagle's rotor has four pieces, and ours has five." Qin Tao began to introduce: "The nose part of the black eagle is smaller, and ours is even bigger. It is round, with more space, and it is still a two-piece windshield. From the fuselage to the tail boom, the Black Hawk is a straight line, and our aircraft has a clear transition."

   "Mr. Qin is really good, you can tell it at a glance." Ma Sheng admired him very much, but he didn't expect Mr. Qin to have such good eyesight.

Qin Tao smiled: "This is only seen from the outside. In fact, it is much different inside. All the parts on it are produced by ourselves. We will not be restricted, and we can make as many as we want. .”

  Compared to the outer shape, that is, the shell, the most proud thing is its interior, its power system, avionics system, operating system, everything is produced by Dongfang itself!

"That's right, every part on this plane is produced by ourselves, especially the engine." Ma Sheng is very satisfied: "After a long test, its engine is finally qualified, this engine is our most advanced The turboshaft engine, even if it is put into the world at the same time, it is not far behind."

  During the speech, everyone had already come to the side of the plane. Deng Hui walked out from the maintenance personnel and greeted him excitedly.

   "Leader Wu, President Qin, are you all here?"

"Um."

   "Is the engine mature?"

"It's mature. The performance of this engine is too advanced. The rated power is 1600 kilowatts. Even the latest model T700-GE-701D of the Black Hawk engine has a rated power of 1470 kilowatts. Only the French engine that is under pre-research The output power of Neto 1K is higher than ours.” Speaking of this, he was very excited, the biggest problem of domestic aircraft is the engine, without the engine, everything is useless.

   Now, our own engine can meet the demand, which is also the biggest contributor to the successful development of the direct 20th engine.

"In addition to meeting the power standard, the more important thing is the power-to-weight ratio. It has successfully reached 7, and the weight of the whole engine is only 220 kilograms." Deng Hui continued to introduce that he is most satisfied with the engine. After all, this requires a supporting unit. help.

  The thrust-to-weight ratio of the turbofan engine has reached 8, while the power-to-weight ratio of the turboshaft engine has reached 7, which is already a very remarkable data, and the development difficulty is not lower than the former.

In order to develop this engine, Lao Maozi and Dongfang's technicians worked together to apply a lot of advanced technologies on the turboshaft ten, such as the blisk, counter-rotating turbine, etc. At the same time, they also applied a series of high-tech materials, For example, the compressor uses metal matrix composite materials, the combustion chamber and turbine use ceramic matrix composite materials and carbon-carbon composite materials, etc. In short, all the advanced materials and technologies researched on domestic aviation engines are used in the engine superior.

   It is the stacking of various advanced technologies that enables the engine to achieve such powerful performance.

"Of course, there are some places that are not as good as the West." Deng Hui continued: "For example, the fuel consumption rate, we can't compare with the West, which is much higher than them. Among various technical indicators, we first met the requirements of power and power-to-weight ratio."

   While everyone was talking, a heroic pilot wearing a full flight suit and carrying a flight helmet walked over with another male pilot.
