Warship of Great Power

"As expected, Ah San decided to cut their Blue Sky Guardian apart." Xu Zhengyang said excitedly: "Sure enough, they couldn't wait in terms of time. According to their plan, they cut it up and welded it. It can be done in three months at most. The aircraft carrier has been repaired, and taking advantage of this opportunity, the elevators have also been replaced. "

I didn't dare to change it before because I was afraid of injuring my muscles and bones, but this time it's different. Anyway, I'm already injuring my muscles and bones, so I don't care about that.

The elevator of the Super Sun King is still an inboard elevator. It needs to be modified anyway. Just cut the opening from the elevator and expand the opening during installation. The problem of Rafale getting on the ship is solved.

Qin Tao nodded: "Ah San is really smart."

"They also want the Neva Design Bureau to help them design a brand new 10,000-ton drive, hoping to overwhelm us."

"I'm afraid Neva Design Bureau can't help with this, right?"

"Well, so, they want to ask us for help."

Help us? Qin Tao was also stunned for a moment, but then he understood.

The Neva Design Bureau is very famous. They designed so many advanced warships in the past. However, that was already in the era of the Red Empire. Since the collapse of the Red Empire, the Neva Design Bureau has just been reduced to a soy sauce role. , Occasionally design warships for Ah San, and Da Mao builds a frigate himself.

This amount of income is simply not enough to keep the Neva Design Bureau occupied. Under such circumstances, the strength of the Neva Design Bureau is getting weaker and weaker. The outstanding technical staff of the Neva Design Bureau continue to leave. Up to now, it is completely An empty shell.

They still have the ability to make a case for Ah San and revise the aircraft carrier design, but they don't have the ability to drastically build a brand new one.

And Asan had this demand, so they simply acted as middlemen and made a profit on the price difference.

The design work is handed over to Dongfang to meet Ah San's needs. They charge an agency fee and Ah San gets the perfect design. Everyone is happy.

"Mr. Qin, do we need to take this job?" Xu Zhengyang asked.

Obviously, if you don't accept this business, it will be for nothing. If you accept it, you can still cheat Asan and leave some holes in their warship design. Isn't this a good thing?

"We can't pick it up."

Xu Zhengyang was stunned and refused to answer?

"Over the years, our strength has continued to increase, while Lao Maozi's strength has continued to weaken. Even their warships have to be built by us. Within Da Mao, a group of people have long been dissatisfied with us and have been slandering us." Qin Thao said: "If we take this task, they will be better able to throw dirty water on us."

Xu Zhengyang frowned: "These people are really strange. Cooperating with us is obviously the best choice, but they are not willing."

"You should know where these people stand. They are just puppets of certain people."

Xu Zhengyang understood immediately: "It seems that green coins can bribe many people!"

"Yes, over the years, Da Mao's economy has been in recession, and their people have also tried to find ways to benefit themselves. It is normal for these people to be bribed. Da Mao has been penetrated like a sieve. Neva designed There must be many such people within the bureau.”

"Then what do we do?"

"We want to show our friendliness." Qin Tao said: "Aren't they going to spend five million to buy our Loongson computers? By the way, we are exporting a set of advanced design software. This set of software only needs to input requirements. To complete the design, you only need to determine the installation location of each equipment, and then you can produce a complete design drawing.”

This kind of software has been developed in China. After all, designing warships often involves repetitive and meaningless work, such as the circuits of each residential compartment of the warship, the direction of waterways, etc.

In the previous era of drawings, this required a little bit of drawing. In the current computer era, you can copy and paste, but this is not enough. Computers are getting smarter and smarter, and they need to be able to move by themselves.

The era of intelligence has arrived, and many tasks can be completed automatically by computers.

"Is this appropriate? This software is our most advanced."

Qin Tao smiled: "Is there anything inappropriate? There is a problem with the warship designed by the software. It is because the software is immature. It was not our intention."

Xu Zhengyang reacted instantly. The design software was available, but it must have flaws. Needless to say, as long as the displacement estimate was wrong and the center of gravity estimate was shifted, the designed drawings would become useless paper.

Moreover, if a proper inspection of Asan's level cannot be found, then the 10,000-ton warship will be like the frigates of the past, breaking into two pieces when encountering wind and waves. In the future, we can also blame the software, or blame the Neva Design Bureau for not using it. In short, it is not our intention.

"Of course, confidentiality must be done well, and others cannot be copied to their computers for use. This software is the most advanced in the world."

"Well, we have experience in this area. Besides, they can't use it even if they copy it."

Advanced industrial software has anti-piracy functions. Simple copying cannot be used, nor can it be cracked.

"Okay." Xu Zhengyang nodded: "Then I will make arrangements right away. Mr. Qin, the 60,000-ton amphibious assault ship built for Guinea and the 20,000-ton amphibious assault ship built for Rainbow Country and Algeria have been completed. , there are still four 052s, and a grand delivery ceremony will be arranged next. Do you want to attend? "

"Of course, at such an important moment, how can I not show up? It's just right for them to see that if they want to get the aircraft carrier in the shortest time, they have to order it from our Mingzhou Group. Professional things should be left to professional factories. The international community should work together."

"Okay, then I'll arrange it."

"By the way, is Vitalia here?"

Although it is said to be built for Guinea, in fact, the buyer behind it is Vana. Vitalia's business is getting bigger and bigger, and it has finally developed from land to sea. Such a large equipment is envied by the whole world.

"This... You should go home and take a look."

Needless to say, she must have come, and, at Qin Tao's house!

"Okay."

When I got home, there was indeed one more person.

"Aquaman is so old now, is he in high school? Do you have any ideas?" A familiar voice sounded: "Tell godmother, godmother will help you realize your ideas."

"Why are you blushing? You are not like your father at all, so shy. Your father was very bold back then... cough, cough cough."

"What about Xue'er? Xue'er is in junior high school, right? What, she is only in the sixth grade, and she has grown so tall. I thought you were in junior high school."

Vitalia came over on the weekend this time, so Qin Tao's two children were at home, so she teased the two children. Qin Tao listened helplessly and shook his head. Haiyang is not Haiwang. I have told you so many times, but the pronunciation is not clear!

Qin Haiyang has grown into a big boy. He goes into his room every day when he goes home. He doesn't talk much and doesn't communicate much with Qin Tao.

This reminds Qin Tao of the way he gets along with his father. This is the generation gap. However, these are not important. As long as the child can grow up healthily, no matter what ideals he has in the future.

Qin Xue is very cute. She is still the little princess. She will pounce on Qin Tao when she sees him.

"Hey, Vitalia, why are you here?" Qin Tao walked in and greeted Vitalia.

"Why can't I come? Seeing you have both a son and a daughter, I'm really envious." Vitalia said: "I've always thought that I should have a child, but I haven't met a man I like. After all, there is only one man like you in the world."

"Ahem, when did you come?"

"Today, after I came, I talked to your father-in-law for a while."

"Oh, that, Xiaoling, let's go out to eat tonight and welcome Vitalia."

"No need, Vina said she likes to eat at our house, I've asked someone to prepare it." Zhao Ling said.

Soon, the steaming hot food was on the table, and the family sat down, feeling a long-lost warmth.

"Come, Vina, today's banquet is to welcome you. Come, Brother Tao and I will toast you. You have been wandering for these years, but don't worry, this place will always be your harbor. Whenever you don't want to work anymore and want to come back, you are welcome here!"

Vitalia picked up the wine glass: "In fact, I didn't want to work for a long time, but I still have so many people under me. If I leave, what will they do? Once you choose this path, how can you turn back? Come, cheers."

"Godmother Vina, how many people do you have?" Qin Xue asked curiously.

"Hundreds of thousands."

"Wow, so many? I'm afraid my father's Mingzhou Group doesn't have so many people. What do they do?" Qin Xue continued to ask.

Vitalia smiled: "They do the oldest profession in the world."

After saying that, Vitalia thought of something and took out two small boxes: "You and Aquaman each have one, which is a gift from godmother to you."

Qin Xue took it and opened it. It was shining. It turned out to be a diamond, and it was very big!

"Vina, this gift is too precious, we can't accept it." Zhao Ling said quickly.

"What is precious? No matter how precious it is, it is not as precious as the gift Qin gave us."

Qin Tao smiled and said nothing.

Three billion, selling so many things is almost the cost price. No matter how expensive this carat diamond is, it is not as good as those. However, for these two children, the gift is still too precious.

"Dad, can I have it?" Qin Haiyang said.

"Of course, come, take it. It's given by your godmother. You take it. Your father dare not say anything." Vitalia said with a smile.

"Then can I sell it?"

Qin Tao was stunned: "You kid, the things given by your godmother should be kept in a safe place, in your mother's safe, or in the bank. You actually want to sell it?"

"Dad, are you going to put it there to collect dust? Since the things are in hand, they must be used. I think selling it is the best choice."

"You bastard, do you know how expensive this thing is?..." Qin Tao said this and found that he was very similar to his father. Is this hereditary?

"Qin, don't scold Haiyang. Since Haiyang wants money, it must be useful. Haiyang, tell me, what do you want to do?"

"Of course I know its value. It is pure and transparent with a light blue hue. It is the best grade Cullinan diamond. One carat can be sold for about 200,000. Now this one is at least 100 carats, which is 20 million." Qin Haiyang said.

"Okay, Haiwang, you have a future! This is a good vision, and you are right." Vitalia looked at Qin Haiyang excitedly: "I think you can take over my job in the future. Godmother's property is your property. Anyway, godmother has no descendants."

Qin Xue was so frightened that her hands trembled, what? Is this thing worth 20 million? I am embarrassed to accept such a valuable thing.

"No, godmother, I want to do it myself. With this money, I can collect 100 million." Qin Haiyang said: "I have taken a fancy to a small shipyard in China and I plan to acquire it. , and then grow.”

Qin Tao was stunned. He remembered Qin Haiyang's ideal: like his father, he would start from scratch, create a large group, and crush his father's Mingzhou Group!

I originally thought that this guy was just talking, but I didn't expect that he would actually take action?

Besides, where did your kid get the money?

Qin Tao looked at Zhao Ling.

Zhao Ling shook her head and said she didn't know. This kid just needed pocket money as usual and some New Year's money. Although the amount was quite large, it was definitely not worth tens of millions.

"Dad, I know what you are going to ask. In the past few years, I have been speculating in stocks. Later, I got a batch of Bitcoins. Then, my New Year's money increased to the current figure. In fact, I have no interest in these. I I also know that it’s all a game of big fish eating small fish. I just want to get money so that I can do what I like to do. You were a free hand at first, but I still have capital.”

The atmosphere on the table was awkward, and the next moment, Vitalia laughed.

"Haha, haha, Neptune is so interesting! In the future, I will definitely let him inherit my mantle, haha, you are a white wolf with nothing, he is better than you, you are indeed a father and son, haha."

This was the happiest Vitalia had ever laughed, and she almost burst into tears.

Qin Tao was helpless, okay, you kid has strong wings, just do whatever you want. Anyway, you make the money yourself, but I must teach you a lesson so that you can lose everything. You know Understand the dangers of the market and think that money is easy to make.

Qin Xue hesitated there whether to return the diamond to her godmother.

"Xiaoxue, keep this. When you need money in the future, sell this diamond and do what you like. Do you have any lofty ideals?"

"I...want to go to Mars."

Qin Tao was speechless, and he even went to Mars. Do you know that this, like Star Wars, is a scam?

"Yes, you have lofty ideals. If you need it in the future, you can open a space exploration company, or build a company even more powerful than the Starship Company!"

Vitalia enjoyed the meal. After eating, Qin Haiyang and Qin Xue returned to the room. There were only three people left in the living room, and Vitalia spoke.

"Qin, it's not easy for us to drive the warship back safely this time."

Qin Tao's face also became serious: "Do they still dare to do evil under the water?"

After all, this is a normal procurement activity, and the business process is impeccable. If someone doesn't like it and wants to cause trouble... the best he can do is to cause trouble underwater, but isn't this too blatant?

"No, I mean, we can't find enough well-trained sailors." Vitalia found that Qin Tao was too pessimistic, and immediately thought of that kind of place: "So, we want to ask you to Fang Haijun helped, but your father-in-law refused, saying you didn’t have time.”

"Well, our navy doesn't have time. We are very busy recently." Qin Tao said.

The dredger has been built, and the coast guard is also busy. There will be many big events waiting for it. At this time, the navy will definitely not be able to spare sailors to help drive the warship back.

"Maybe you can ask the Damao Navy for help. They have purchased two amphibious assault ships from us. These are very similar. Besides, don't the Guinean Navy also have people who can operate them?"

"The Da Mao Navy is no longer the same navy as before. Their level is very poor." Vitalia said: "The quality of the Guinea Navy is even worse. Recruiting soldiers from the local area requires rigorous training. The navy and air force need to have A cultured person still needs many years of training.”

Qin Tao nodded: "I understand. You need to develop education locally and start training from an early age so that you can obtain enough talents."

"Yes, I went to Africa just to have a good time. Unexpectedly, I got stuck and couldn't get out. However, I can't train everyone. After all, if those people become smart, then I won’t listen anymore.”

"You can first train the relatives of your troops, especially their children, to receive formal nine-year compulsory education from an early age. In this way, you only need to build a hundred primary and secondary schools in Africa."

Without universal education, it is impossible to have enough high-quality talents. The Army can simply train for a few years to develop them. However, the Air Force and Navy are both high-tech arms. They need to be educated from an early age, otherwise there is no point in improvising. .

It is unrealistic to fully popularize it. The relatives and children of those under Vitalia have the highest loyalty, so train them first!

"Yes, it has to be like this, but water from afar cannot satisfy thirst that is near!"

This is the long-term plan. What about the short-term plan?

"It's easy to say. Our shipyard can be responsible for the delivery. We can send a group of masters to go back with you and deliver the goods to your door. We can even let them stay there for a few months until you have a group of skilled sailors before coming back."

"Well, this is the best." Vitalia was overjoyed.

"However, you must not fool them into not coming back to your place. These are the elites of our shipyard."

"That's right. I can't steal yours even if I steal someone else's."

The deal was settled.

November 3, 2006.

Mingzhou Group, outfitting dock.

The flags were flying and the scene was grand.

Although Mingzhou Group often delivers ships, this delivery is still a record.

As the business of manufacturing warships for domestic warships fell to Qiongzhou No. 3 Shipyard, Mingzhou's shipyards almost all undertake foreign trade warships, so they can be launched and outfitted together!

The 60,000-ton 076 was manufactured in the dock, and the two 20,000-ton amphibious ships and other destroyers were built on the slipway. They started construction together, launched together, outfitted together, and sea trials together. Now it's time to deliver them together.

This also fully demonstrates the strength of Mingzhou Group!
