Chapter 182 New Conditions

Samsung Heavy Industries, Feldspar Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. and Kuok Shipping Group Co., Ltd. chose Yangcheng in China for their negotiations. Although it is still very close to Hong Kong, the huge population can already give them sufficient cover. Therefore, in

None of the shipping company representatives in Hong Kong noticed it.

As for Guo's Shipping Group's requirement to transfer technology, although these shipbuilding companies are angry on the surface, privately they also hate and love it. For a total of seventeen supertanker orders, companies that have signed a technology transfer agreement can

If at least ten ships are taken away, then the remaining seven ships belong to these other companies. On average, each company has less than one ship. You can imagine the fierce competition! But even so, these companies will definitely

I won’t give up. After all, the cost of a supertanker is still US$70-80 million no matter how cheap it is. In today’s environment of few orders, getting one is a good thing!

Among them, it is not that there are no enterprises interested. The order for ten super tankers is used as a bargaining chip to transfer technology. Guo's Shipping Group Company is also very sincere. In today's general environment, if there is an order for ten super tankers,

In hand, any shipping company is safe in its heart. However, most of these companies have their own concerns, so no one takes action. But this does not mean that they are doing nothing. During this period

Here, the negotiators of Guo's Shipping Group Company can be said to be the busiest. They have been negotiating with these shipping companies all day long.

But Fan Mingyuan couldn't relax at all, because Belevsky was here again!

After entering July, the already tense relationship between the Russian government and Chechnya became even more tense. Since the end of the first Chechen War, terrorist incidents have occurred over the years, such as Moscow, Volgodonsk and Dagestan.

A series of bombings in Buynaksk and border conflicts have caused hundreds of deaths and countless injuries among soldiers and civilians in Russia. The Russians have been holding back their anger. And Chechnya has recently appeared again

This made the Russian top brass extremely dissatisfied. However, no matter how dissatisfied these people were, they could not mobilize the army. As the saying goes, a cannon fires a thousand taels of gold! The shortage of military expenditures made the Russian top brass scruple when using the army.

Heavy.

"Originally, according to the president's intention, we would postpone this matter for another year or two and wait until the country's economy improves and the finances are not as tight as now before we start to solve the matter." It's better than looking old when we met in Vladivostok.

The several-year-old Belevsky sighed and said, "We wanted to wait, but they are going to take action!"

Fang Mingyuan nodded without any surprise. He still remembered that in his previous life, the second Chechen War broke out because Chechen militants brazenly attacked the neighboring Republic of Dagestan. Although the real historical truth may not be like this, but

The Russians must have some basis for making up lies. "So old Wilder, the purpose of your visit this time is..."

"Loan! The president has given me the qualifications of a plenipotentiary representative to negotiate with you for a loan or payment of no less than four billion U.S. dollars!" Belevsky said straight to the point, "Except for core secrets such as nuclear warheads, except for the land,

We can talk about everything else!" Fang Mingyuan's heart skipped a beat. Russia seems to be going to war this time!

"Transfer of production technology of TB-12 steam turbine?" Fang Mingyuan said, this is something he has never forgotten.

"Yes, as long as your country's military purchases four more Sovremenny-class destroyers!" Belevsky replied without hesitation.

"What's the difference between this and before?" Fang Mingyuan said, a bit dumbfounded. Regarding this issue, they had already made it very clear when they were in Vladivostok. They were not taken advantage of.

"Yes! You only need to spend 2 billion U.S. dollars to get these four modern-class destroyers. Compared with last year, we have made a profit of 800 million U.S. dollars!" Belevsky said with an aggrieved look.

"Come on!" Fang Mingyuan sneered, "Old Wilder, don't try to trick me! With a purchase price of two billion U.S. dollars, your government made 800 million U.S. dollars, and you have the nerve to say that it made a profit of 800 million U.S. dollars? Moreover, we want to do that

What do we do with so many Sovereign-class destroyers? If they were Dreadnought-class destroyers, they would still be barely worthy of consideration.”

Belevsky's old face was slightly red, but he still argued forcefully: "Our navy only has one Dreadnought-class destroyer in service. How can it be sold to foreign countries on a large scale? You should give up on it. However,

This time, the president agreed. If you can pay a one-time payment of no less than four billion US dollars, he can specially approve the space shuttle Buran to be given to you!"

Fang Mingyuan yawned, waved his hands and said, "Forget it, buy four billion dollars worth of goods for a space shuttle that only costs tens of millions of dollars and will continue to depreciate in the future. Old Wilder, aren't you?

Do you think I’m stupid because I have too much money?”

Belevsky waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Fang, you have to listen to what I have to say! The president also promised to allow you to choose two technologies for the construction technology of the Buran space shuttle for paid transfer!"

Only then did Fang Mingyuan become interested and said: "Any technology can be used? Also the manufacturing technology of aerospace engines? For example, the liquid oxygen kerosene rocket engine Rd-170 of Energy?" As an enthusiast who pays more attention to aerospace, Fang Mingyuan's previous life

I still know more or less about Russian aerospace technology.

The booster rocket used by Energy is equipped with the world's most advanced and most powerful liquid fuel rocket engine - the liquid oxygen kerosene rocket engine Rd170. The Americans have been unable to break through the technical difficulties of the high thrust liquid oxygen kerosene engine, especially

Unable to solve the problem of coking of liquid oxygen and kerosene engines used as regenerative coolants, they turned to the development of hydrogen and oxygen engines.

Although China's aerospace technology in the previous life was booming and it became the third country to achieve manned space technology after the United States and Russia, with the pace of China's aerospace, it is moving further into outer space and even the moon.

, the orbital carrying capacity of our country's launch vehicles is low, which has become a bottleneck in aerospace development!

China's current largest carrier rocket with synchronous transfer orbital carrying capacity is the Long March 3B, with a carrying capacity of 5.5 tons, and the orbital carrying capacity of the Long March 2F rocket is 9.2 tons. Later, the communication satellites developed by our country have already

It has reached nearly seven tons. Not to mention that China plans to build a space station in the future. Its core module will probably weigh more than twenty tons! Including the future lunar exploration project, it will require a large launch vehicle!

The carrier rockets of the United States and Russia have far greater carrying capacity than the Chinese rocket, and can easily send loads of more than 20 tons into space! So how to break through this bottleneck has become a worry for Chinese astronauts!

What Fang Mingyuan is interested in is the RD-170 manufacturing technology of the engine of the Energy launch vehicle used as the booster of the Buran space shuttle. The "Energy" launch vehicle is a heavy-duty general-purpose launch vehicle developed by the former Soviet Union. It is said that it is

Currently, the rocket with the largest take-off mass and thrust in the world is stronger than the Saturn V rocket that the United States used to launch the Apollo series of spacecrafts to the moon. Fang Mingyuan is not a die-hard aerospace fan, so he has never calculated it. But.

He knew that the "Energy" launch vehicle had a low-Earth orbit transport capacity of hundreds of tons of cargo and a geostationary orbit transport capacity of more than 20 tons, which was enough.

Although after the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, its aerospace sector was severely impacted, resulting in the suspension of production of the "Energy" rocket, the Zenit launch vehicle developed from its booster continued to be in service, and its engine RD

Several models derived from the -170 are widely used by Russian and American launch vehicles!

Belevsky couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and Fang Mingyuan curled his lips and said: "Really, this is such a joy. Haven't you already licensed the production technology of RD-170 to be manufactured in the United States? Do you care about more?"

China?" Americans also coveted Russia's launch vehicle technology, but during the Cold War, they could not find a chance. The disintegration of the Soviet Union gave them a rare opportunity, so the United States' American Aerospace

The Bureau and several major companies in the United States jointly found the Russian Power Machinery Research and Production Consortium established after the disintegration and requested to purchase the technology patents of the RD-170 and the derivative model RD-180. At that time, Russia was too poor to open the pot, so they agreed.

.The result is that the same type of engine is used on both American and Russian launch vehicles.

Belevsky's face turned red. Although he had known that Fang Mingyuan was well-informed, he did not expect that even this secret, which was highly confidential within Russia, would be revealed so easily by Fang Mingyuan.

"If you want the liquid oxygen kerosene rocket engine Rd-170, that's not impossible! But it does not belong to the construction technology of the Buran space shuttle, so it has to be offset by the two paid transfer technologies!" Belevsky

After pondering for a moment, he said. As Fang Mingyuan said, Russia has already authorized the Americans to produce this kind of engine. So what if there is one more China? After all, this is not an engine used by fighter jets. It is relatively important for the improvement of China's military capabilities.

It’s not that obvious!

"Old Wilder, what you say makes no sense. The liquid oxygen kerosene rocket engine Rd-170 is the main engine of Energy, and Energy is the launch vehicle of the Buran space shuttle. How can it be said that it is not the Buran space shuttle?

What about the related technology? Without it, would it be possible for the Buran space shuttle to fly into the sky on its own?" Fang Mingyuan shouted dissatisfied, "What a shameless act!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come
