Warship of Great Power

The time has come to the end of the year, 2001 is about to pass, and a more beautiful 2003 is coming. At this time when the old and the new are changing, Nicholas came to the East.

"Qin, the recent experience is really hard to describe in words, but the final outcome is still good." Seeing Qin Tao, Nicholas was filled with emotion.

Originally proud of himself, he did not expect to encounter so many political opponents suddenly attacking him, which made him feel like the wall was overthrown by everyone. However, he survived in the end, and those political opponents who besieged him were all thrown into prison instead.

Although Nicholas's hands and feet are not clean, he has not received much money from the West. This is the difference between him and others. Compared with the West, the East is obviously more trustworthy.

"Well, Nicholas, congratulations on defeating those visible and invisible enemies." Qin Tao said: "This is a great victory, and you will become more pure and more effective."

"The human factor is one aspect, and there are more factors of weapons and equipment." Nicholas said: "Now, our superiors have agreed, please help build the four-sided phased array radar on the front mast, and integrate the air defense system into the Together, we can provide whatever technical information you need.”

"Okay, of course there is no problem, we are willing to help." Qin Tao said: "As for the required information, I will list a form next, please provide it."

"Well." Nicholas nodded: "At the same time, we will send some technicians to work with you on research and development, so that the integration can be completed faster."

Qin Tao gave Nicholas a meaningful look, so Nicholas was also a little embarrassed.

Sending technicians together must have a different purpose. Of course, I still want to learn technology from Dongfang. Now, being stared at by Qin Tao like this, Nicholas also feels a little embarrassed.

"Nicolas, my friend, what if your technicians fall in love with us after doing research and development with us, and then don't go back? At that time, the boss will probably be very dissatisfied, right? "

Nicholas was taken aback for a moment, yes, why didn't he think of this?

"Qin, I will tell the boss about your concerns, and I hope I can take this into consideration."

The big brother’s consideration is that he wants to learn technology secretly, but with Da Mao’s current conditions, he came here to learn technology bitterly. If he sees the good treatment in the East and the prospect of development, he will not leave. Stealing chickens is nothing but losing rice.

"We will definitely not do anything, but if they want to stay, there is nothing we can do. At that time, your side will also be unhappy, so in order to avoid this kind of thing, I suggest that you should not send someone Come here, we have these anti-aircraft missiles on hand, as long as the information is correct, we will definitely be able to modify them."

Nicholas nodded: "I will report the situation clearly."

"By the way, do you have any ideas about the vertical launch device? Do you want to use our hair to transform it?"

Other anti-aircraft missiles will be removed, mainly relying on S-300 and Shijili missiles. Among them, Lao Maozi originally had the vertical launch system of S-300, and Shijili missiles were originally developed from Lao Maozi when Qin Tao was engaged in foreign trade. Coordinated there, Lao Maozi also has a hair hanging system, which is still thermal emission.

Now, when Qin Tao said this, Zhao Ling frowned, what did Brother Tao mean?

The vertical launch system with hot and cold racks is our unique skill. Now you want to install this launch device on Lao Maozi?

Of course Qin Tao had his own considerations.

If Da Mao and his side are coordinated in the vertical launch system, it means that the weapon system is compatible. Although those vertical launch devices are used to launch S-300, then only need to modify the program in the future, they can also launch Hongqi IX. The compatibility of the hair hanging device means that the footsteps will be the same in the future.

Look at the United States, they have exported their Aegis system to many allies. Of course, these allies have to listen to them. The MK41 vertical launch system is almost shared by the West. If Europe did not have the Aster missile, it is estimated that it would be all the same. ground use MK41.

One's own hot and cold launcher is a good thing, but if you want to have more and more allies in the future, you have to export all of these. Anyway, it's just a vertical launcher, not a specific missile.

It is also very common to use arms sales to tie up some allies.

Nicholas shook his head: "No, we are also developing the vertical launch system in China. We plan to put various long-range attack weapons into the same launcher. When it is developed, we can put it on the Type 1144 cruiser. The existing P-700 anti-ship missiles are replaced by more diverse long-range attack systems."

Lao Maozi has always advocated offense. On the Type 1144 cruiser, the most powerful weapon is twenty P-700 missiles. These missiles are arranged in four rows, five in each row, and are poked in front of the bridge, where the warship is the widest. The deepest place can fully accommodate these missiles.

For a long time, this kind of missile has been the trump card of Lao Maozi, but with the passage of time, this kind of missile will also fall behind.

First of all, the most powerful ones are ground attack missiles, and Lao Maozi is also developing a brand new long-range supersonic anti-ship missile, so they also have to have a brand new vertical launch system.

In history, Lao Maozi came up with the 3S14 vertical launch system. In addition to being unable to load anti-aircraft missiles, this system can be filled with almost all kinds of ship-borne missiles, such as 3M54T sub-superior combined with anti-ship missiles, 3M14T land-attack cruise missiles, 91R1, 91RT2 anti-submarine missiles, etc., as well as the famous P-800, and 3M22 Zircon hypersonic missiles, etc., can be stuffed in. It can be said that Lao Maozi has the highest degree of generalization. vertical launch system.

They have already made plans to replace the P-700 launcher with this advanced vertical launch system, so that the Kirov class has stronger combat effectiveness, but what does this have to do with anti-aircraft missiles?

In front of the P-700 anti-ship missiles, there are 12 B-203A S-300F 3M41 Fortress long-range ship-to-air missile launch systems, in the form of a revolver, each unit has eight missiles, so there are 96 ship-to-air missiles in total. That's the key point Qin Tao said.

The old man is still reluctant to change clothes?

"What about the air defense missile system?" Qin Tao asked.

Could it be that they plan to use their own 3S97 Rudot? For the 22350 frigate, Lao Maozi specially developed the Rudot vertical launch system. The launch tube of this vertical launch system can be loaded with one 48N6 long-range air defense missile, four 9M96E medium-range air defense missiles or four 9M100 short-range air defense missiles. Missiles, but the latter are modified models of air-to-air missiles, namely the modified models of R77 and R73. It can be seen how declining the old man is. The self-developed ship-to-air missiles are no longer capable, and the air-to-air missiles have to be improved.

"In terms of air defense missile systems, we currently plan to use S-300 and Shijili, remove the device used to launch dagger missiles in front of the S-300 missiles, and replace them with our 3S90M vertical launch system. This will make minimal changes. said Nicholas.

The configuration of the four Kirov-class warships is not the same. The first Kirov, in front of the S-300 missile, is two large drums, which are equipped with anti-ship and anti-submarine missile launchers, and later arrived on the second On the ship, this device is removed, and the dagger missile is installed, which is the short-range 3K95.

(The model number is a bit messy, Shi Jili is actually 3K97, these are old Maozi's names.)

Originally, the Kirov class did not have Shikili missiles. However, if Dongfang is to help get through the 3K95 launcher, then it is necessary to hand over the technology of this short-range air defense missile to Dongfang. It is better to engage in Shikili, anyway. With the sale of the Hyundai class to the East, the Shikili missile is no secret.

"Okay, since you insist, let's make relevant changes so that the number of each type of missile is determined." Qin Tao said: "The task is not flexible to execute."

"Yeah, this is only temporary. After our general-purpose air defense vertical launcher 3S97 is developed, it will be installed." Nikolai said.

Sure enough, they are waiting for their own universal hair!

The old man's general vertical hair is not universal, long-range attack weapons and anti-aircraft weapons are separated, this 3S97 does not know if it can be compatible with Shi Keli, but since the old man insists, then Qin Tao will not say anything, the coldness of the East Regongjia is so good, they don't use it, and they have to fiddle with it themselves, so let them run into a wall.

"Qin, there is still the issue of cost. At present, the superior does not plan to allocate funds, so you can only continue to cut down our Far East wood as the cost of refitting." Nicholas said: "I hope you can understand."

"Of course there is no problem." Qin Tao nodded.

The army of mechanized operations has long passed. Now it is cold winter and the sky is freezing. The ground there is frozen hard, and it is easy to transport. You can directly use tracked vehicles to drag the wood, and you can directly drag it to the port on the snow. , this efficiency is leveraged.

Hundreds of millions of dollars in modification costs can be mined in one winter.

"If there is no problem with this refit, then the refit projects for the subsequent 1144-type cruisers will be handed over to you," Nikolai said.

"Yes, we are willing to make our own contributions so that our friends can grow stronger quickly," Qin Tao said.

A powerful old man is beneficial to the East, and can attract the attention of Westerners, saving you from staring at the East all day long. Look at the old man, he is your biggest opponent.

"Qin, in fact, I have already suggested to my superiors that if we want to restore a strong army, we need advanced weapons. The revival of our navy depends on you Mingzhou Group. In fact, our air force should also put our hopes on you , you are already developing white swans, and the best option for our air force is to purchase them from you."

"White swan? What white swan?" Qin Tao was very curious.

"Strategic bomber, your aircraft factory has already built a prototype, which was photographed by a US satellite. These days, it has been hot news all over the world. You won't say you don't know, will you?"

"Oh, you mean our H6N." Qin Tao said: "You said White Swan, how do I know what it is, H6N is our domestic technicians based on the H6K and H6J The brand-new bomber developed has changed from two engines to four, the aerodynamic layout has also been greatly adjusted, and its performance is more advanced.”

"Yes, the shape of this bomber is exactly the same as our white swan. We all thought it was a copy of the white swan."

"It's an insult to us."

Nicholas sighed: "Qin, you are really too strong! In the past ten years, we have been regressing, but you are making great strides forward. We also plan to produce white swans in China, but we have been preparing for many years, but we still can't produce them. Come one, but you guys can change Hong Liu into this."

Since Qin Tao doesn't admit it, it's fine not to admit it, but the industrial development in the East is really enviable.

"The development of our East comes from our economic development. Only when the economy is strong, all industries will naturally grow rapidly." Qin Tao introduced: "This is a process that complements each other, and your current domestic economy mainly relies on energy. Export, this cannot form a healthy development."

"Yes." Nicholas sighed: "At present, all walks of life in our country are facing big problems, such as talent shortage, industrial chain interruption, and it is too difficult to develop. Qin, do you have any suggestions? ?”

Qin Tao thought for a while: "Your automobile industry is too backward. If you want to develop your country's economy, you can actually start with the development of the automobile industry."

Looking at the East, every time the economy is in a downturn, some cars will be sent to the countryside, and the purchase tax will be halved, hoping to develop the economy in this way. If Lao Maozi wants to develop the economy and get rid of the energy dilemma, he can also take the road of developing the automobile industry.

"The auto industry? We have it," Nikolai said.

Lao Maozi does have an automobile industry. The Volga back then was used by cadres in the East. The four big breakouts in Eastern Europe, that is, Muscovites, Ladas, Gass, and Polonaises, were introduced into China and became street cars. Alley taxis.

Lao Maozi's automobile industry has a great feature, that is, it never considers the market, they are just products of the planned economy, and they only produce cars according to the production plan.

For example, people from Moscow, this automobile factory is highly concentrated. Unlike domestic automobile factories that have a large number of downstream supporting manufacturers, they will not ask others for help if they can produce by themselves. The production is highly concentrated. In the original era, such production can improve efficiency and reduce Cost, however, also means that it cannot be optimized from a simple step, modification is extremely difficult, and quality control is even more difficult.

Therefore, in the past ten years, their automobile factory has declined rapidly, and all the cars in Damao's land are foreign cars.

"Then does your auto industry have market competitiveness?" Qin Tao asked rhetorically.

Nicholas pondered, then nodded: "Qin, you are right, if we want to develop our own automobile industry and build a strong country, we must have an advanced automobile industry! Qin, you have a Special electric vehicles, can we introduce your electric vehicle production line, and then come to a corner and overtake?"

Qin Tao was stunned: "Nicolas, your land is not suitable for electric vehicles."

Electric vehicles are a trend, but this does not mean that they are practical everywhere. Even in the east, they are only applicable to the south of the Yangtze River. In the north, the mileage in winter is directly halved.

When I arrived at Lao Maozi's place, it was freezing cold, and the battery probably wouldn't be able to discharge power immediately. A living example is the Apple mobile phone. When it is taken out in a cold area, it will report a loss of power and then shut down when it is fully charged.

Batteries are chemical devices, and the speed of chemical reactions is affected by temperature.

The popularity of electric vehicles in Europe is also due to the warm Mediterranean current in Europe, which will not be very cold throughout the winter. Although it will be exported to Europe in the future, there is no need to build a factory from Lao Maozi, and it is more appropriate to export directly from the East.

"Then what are we suitable for?" Nikolai asked.

"For you, traditional fuel vehicles are more suitable." Qin Tao said: "Although our relationship is very good, I can't joke about this. If you want to produce our electric vehicles, you can only Become a rich man's toy, but not a real national car."

"Okay. Then we want to develop an advanced automobile industry, what do you suggest?"

"Joint joint venture, introduce our advanced technology from the East, and build a joint venture car factory together to produce cars with world advanced level."

Zhao Ling on the side was a little curious, introducing technology from our east? We in the east don't have advanced automobile technology now, do we? Regardless of Volkswagen or Toyota, we are still a joint venture.

"Will that have an impact on our domestic automobiles? Should we find a domestic automobile factory to form a joint venture?"

"Nicolas, is it more convenient to find your domestic automobile factory?" Qin Tao said, "Although you can't come to the front, you can push your family or relatives out, and we can form a joint venture together." Car companies, produce a popular and advanced car in your country, wouldn’t it be great if we have money to make money together?”

Nicholas's eyes lit up. Just now, he was still thinking about looking for Volga or Lada. Now Qin Tao reminded him, why let others make money if he has money? Isn't it good to make money by yourself?

"That's right, let's invest together!" Nicholas said: "Qin, I just don't know what kind of car we want to introduce? Do you have any suitable cars in the East?"

"For your domestic road conditions, sedans are not suitable. After all, many places are dirt roads, and they have to be durable. You need a CUV."

"What is a CUV?"

"It's a hard-core multi-purpose vehicle. This kind of vehicle uses a non-load-bearing body, which can adapt to the bumps of the road. At the same time, it has large tires to facilitate overcoming various obstacles. As for fuel consumption, it must be higher, but you are an oil-exporting country. , and don’t care about fuel consumption, what you need is a durable car.”

In this era, the concept of SUV has not yet become popular, even the CRV, it was originally called a CUV, but this CUV means a cross-border multi-purpose vehicle.

Either way, as long as the shell is big enough.

"Can I go and see?" Nicholas was very excited.

"No need to go for the time being. Let's make a call and ask them to drive over. You can take it back to China for a try. If there is no problem, then contact them."

"That's right."

"Xiaoling, call Longwall's dealer in the capital and ask them to drive a Cypher over."

Qin Tao's idea was completely impromptu. Zhao Ling, who was his secretary, was caught off guard and rushed to make arrangements.

Longwall Motors is located in Zhili, one to two hundred kilometers south of the capital. It was originally a car repair shop. Later, it was not managed well and was about to close down. Then it was taken over by the old Wei who was playing racing cars at that time. From then on, his legendary life began. In the 1990s, it began to produce cars, but it had no production qualifications and was soon abandoned. It could only take the road of pickup trucks. It did not expect to break into another world.

After the launch of Longwall Deere, a pickup imitating Isuzu, it quickly became popular all over the country due to its durability and low price. As for the use of the car, this year, they changed the shell on their pickup truck chassis and launched the first CUV Longwall Cypher. Since then, they have started their glorious shell-changing era.

Knowing that Mr. Qin wanted a car, the local dealer was shocked. While calling the car factory, he personally drove the car to the hotel where Nikola was staying and waited respectfully.

When Qin Tao, Nicholas and others came out, they saw this tall car.

This Cypher can also see the shadow of a pickup truck. In simple terms, it is actually equivalent to shortening the rear bucket of the pickup truck, and then closing the cover, it becomes a CUV. It has been recognized by many customers.

This is a maroon car. The front grille, reflectors, and door handles are all decorated with chrome, which looks shiny. The four tires are thick and the suspension is high.

The moment he saw this car, Nicholas nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, yes, this car is suitable for our big hairy environment at first glance. When we build a factory there in the future, it will definitely be a big seller."

Do you want to build a factory in Damao? Local dealers are even more excited.

"Nicholas, try driving a few laps?"

Nicholas sat in.

This is a high-end version with leather seats, a sunroof, a tape player, and an air conditioner. Looking at these layouts, Nicholas is even more happy: "This car is not bad!"

Nikola turned the key skillfully to start, then stepped on the clutch and put into gear, and the car started in the hotel grounds.

"How much is this car?" Qin Tao looked at the dealer, only to see the respectful face on the other side's face: "Mr. Qin, if you want this car, then we don't want any money, and we will give it to you directly."

"No, I mean the selling price."

"The current price of this car is 130,000."

"Well, when it comes to Da Mao's market, it has to be doubled, which is equivalent to our RMB 260,000. In order to show that it is more high-end, let's set a starting price of 300,000."

The dealer's eyes widened: "Boss Qin, can you sell it?"

"You still don't believe me?"

"I believe, of course I believe that the electric vehicles under Mingzhou Group are leading the whole era. Our fuel vehicles will be eliminated. If we can purchase electric vehicle components from Mingzhou Group and assemble our electric long wall vehicles, That would be even better, unfortunately, the West has started to take the route of hydrogen energy.”

"What?" Qin Tao was surprised.
