Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

The naval leaders present looked serious.

Entering the 1980s, the navy still relied solely on anti-aircraft guns for air defense, which was long outdated. The navy needed modern air defense weapons!

Although the Hongqi-61 had been in development since the 1960s, it was still plagued with problems and far from being finalized. If the navy wanted to modernize, it had to make purchases.

Under these circumstances, the British Sea Dart missile came into their view. They wanted to import this missile system. Today, a large group of British people came to introduce the technical details of the Sea Dart missile to the naval leaders.

Unexpectedly, President Qin, who had been clamoring to ruin the Sea Dart missile project, really understood this missile. What he said were all the shortcomings of the Sea Dart, many of which were unbearable for the navy.

A missile with an overload of only 4G, a firing height of only over 10,000 meters, and a considerable price, was a complete waste. Who was the one who strongly supported the introduction of this missile in the first place?

Having stumbled on the Spey engine, were they going to continue to stumble on air defense missiles?

"Actually, this missile has another big problem," Qin Yang continued to play his trump card: "Its air intake is in the warhead section, so the space inside the warhead for storing the seeker is very small. With this semi-active guidance method, the larger the radar antenna of the seeker, the better, but with your design, the antenna area is reduced by more than three-quarters! If the radar reflection echo of the target is weak, shouldn't it fail to receive enough signal and cause a miss? Also, can it intercept the increasingly advanced sea-skimming anti-ship missiles?"

In fact, there were also a batch of missiles in later generations that used ramjet engines, which was to pursue a longer range. For example, the European Meteor air-to-air missile has a maximum range of over 150 kilometers, which can only be achieved with a ramjet engine. However, that was already a solid rocket ramjet integrated engine, and the air intake of the ramjet engine was in the middle of the missile body, not in the warhead.

The valuable warhead space should of course be left for the seeker to use.

"Damn it, who exactly are you?" Philip finally couldn't help it: "Are you from the navy? Are you qualified to attend this meeting?"

This young man had an oriental face, but he was not wearing a navy uniform. Philip finally found this flaw and began to fight back.

"That's right, we are now conducting a top-secret technical briefing, and irrelevant people are not allowed to enter." George, the person in charge of the promotion, also said with a gloomy face: "What is the origin of this person?"

The naval leaders began to feel embarrassed.

Qin Yang smiled: "I was reporting my work to the leaders. I didn't expect to stumble in here and hear you bragging, I really couldn't help it. I'll leave now and won't disturb you."

"What are you talking about? The navy of our British Empire is the most powerful… one of the most powerful in the world. Our navy is capable of dealing with any threat!" George stood up, looking like he was about to explode.

Qin Yang slipped away.

After coming out, Qin Yang met Wang Gang: "Little Wang, right? Find me a place, get me a cup of tea, I'm dying of thirst. Also, I'm definitely eating this meal tonight."

Wang Gang didn't care about the possible teasing in Qin Yang's words. His eyes were full of admiration. When Qin Yang went in just now, Wang Gang entered the monitoring room next door and watched Qin Yang's performance the whole time.

Amazing, too amazing, he made those foreigners speechless! That Sea Dart missile is indeed unreliable!

"Let's go, Little Wang…"

"Okay, please follow me."

Half an hour, an hour, two hours… Qin Yang happily sipped his tea, looking at the scenery outside the window.

Footsteps came from behind.

"President Qin, I'm very sorry, we made you feel wronged because there were foreigners present. We old men came over after the meeting. I hope you don't mind."

Qin Yang turned around and looked at the leaders who appeared in front of him: "Leaders, I know my role. You called me here to let me play the role of a reckless young man. However, I guess you should already be absent-minded for the rest of the time, right?"

"Yes, we were originally very interested in the Sea Dart, but after you said those words, we have realized that this missile is not suitable for us at all." The one who spoke was Naval Leader Li, who was also the host of this import meeting.

"However, with your disruption, they have retreated." Another Leader Zhang said with a smile: "Originally, the British plan was to export their Type 42 air defense destroyer to us as a whole, which would be very expensive and not something our navy could afford. Now, they have finally compromised and can export the Sea Dart missile system to us separately to be installed on our 051 destroyers. We have tentatively named this modified Sea Dart missile destroyer 051S."

Qin Yang smiled: "So, I didn't succeed? The navy still decided to import the Sea Dart system?"

"Currently, we don't have many options!" Leader Li said: "Although there are various shortcomings, this is, after all, the most suitable missile we can import at present. Otherwise, what should we import?"

"There are many that should be imported, American, French…" At this point, Qin Yang touched his stomach: "I'm hungry, and when I'm hungry, my brain is deprived of oxygen, and I can't remember anything."

"Well, it's time for dinner, shall we go eat together?"

"It's too cold outside, my body is cold! It would be nice to have a sip of Moutai to warm up my body."

"Okay, then Moutai, consider it compensation for you." Leader Li said with a smile: "Sure enough, you are the same as the legends. Your courage is worth a bottle of Moutai."

Although they were meeting Qin Yang for the first time, Qin Yang's heroic deeds had already entered their ears. Now, just like those legends, Qin Yang was a fearless character, and now he still dared to ask them, these old men, for alcohol, and it had to be Moutai!

"Alcohol emboldens the timid, in fact, my courage is only worth a bottle cap."
