"Any vehicle has a lifespan. By the time you need to pull logs, these two vehicles may have passed their most precious golden age and their reliability is no longer high." Qin Tao continued: "So, I think expensive
There is no need for China to purchase such vehicles."
"Then how should we choose?" Lopez asked: "We can't order from Baimao, we will definitely be blocked and unable to deliver."
The Minsk Vehicle Manufacturing Plant is there and is still in urgent need of orders. The Kimchi Country has sold so many ballistic missiles and has enough foreign exchange reserves on hand, but they just can't purchase them. Even if they think about it with their toes, they should know that there are
No matter what the consequences, if you give me the money, you will definitely not get the car.
"You can purchase from our country." Qin Tao said.
"You guys? Aren't you using a trailer?" The other party was a little surprised.
"It used to be a trailer, but it won't be anymore." Qin Tao said with a smile: "Currently, our domestic special vehicle manufacturer has negotiated with the Minsk Vehicle Manufacturing Factory of Bai Mao to establish a joint venture special vehicle manufacturer.
, so in the future, there will be various vehicles for transporting wood that will come off our production line, ranging from five-axle to eight-axle, and you can definitely purchase them through this method."
Mingzhou Group is a multinational group, so Qin Tao can't be too blatant, but domestic special vehicle factories are not afraid. Anyway, they are based in the country and rarely export. Even if they export, they have various means to avoid risks. The worst is the worst.
When the customer ordered, he said it was for pulling wood. As for what the customer pulled, it has nothing to do with us!
You can even deny it out of nowhere: We have no exports. The vehicles used to haul wood in the North Pickle Country are produced by them themselves and have nothing to do with us. You want to check the accounts? Why? Your arms are too long, right?
Yin Chengze's face suddenly became excited: "You are going to build this kind of vehicle? It's great!"
The two existing vehicles of the Mingzhou Group have too strong carrying capacity. They have no need to use them yet. They just feel that now that they have encountered it, they cannot miss the opportunity. For them, what they currently need are five-axle and six-axle vehicles.
As for the launch vehicle, after all, the missiles they currently have on hand only weigh a dozen tons. In the next ten years, if they can improve to 50 tons, they will be very powerful. There is no need to use a launch vehicle that is too large.
Due to their limited geographical location, it is useless for them to use the launch silo. Once an attack actually starts, the position of the launch silo will be destroyed immediately. They must have the ability to maneuver the launch.
"Okay, let's do that. I will send someone to take you to the relevant factory. You will gain something. I'll excuse you now."
Qin Tao still has business to do. It's already great to be able to receive these people. It can't be delayed for too long.
"Mr. Qin, please stay. Apart from this matter, we have some other ideas." Yin Chengze made a request to Qin Tao.
besides?
Qin Tao could only sit down patiently, with a smile on his face: "What else do you have in mind?"
"Mr. Qin, you just said that we are good friends." Yin Chengze said: "So, we hope that you can provide us with your 039b design drawings free of charge as you did before."
Hearing this, Qin Tao almost laughed out loud. Provided for free? Like before? Are you stupid or am I stupid?
Speaking of the North Kimchi Navy, it is almost silent and has no sense of presence. In fact, they have the fourth largest underwater force in the world.
At the beginning, the Red Empire provided several R-class submarines. In the 1970s, the Northern Kimchi Country made a request to the East: to provide free military projects, including Type 33 conventional submarines.
This is not just to directly provide submarines, but to help them modify the factory and complete the construction of submarines!
This project, known as Project 13, directly delivered twelve 033 submarines to the Kimchi Country, and also helped renovate the other party's six shipyards, with the ability to produce four submarines per year.
Jiangnan Shipyard organized 244 professional technicians and workers to provide technical guidance on submarine assembly in 17 batches. It trained a total of 55 qualified first-class welders, 11 automatic welders, 14 stainless steel welders, and 8 copper welders.
They can all operate on the boat and become the first backbone of the other party's boat hull welding team.
We were really good friends back then.
That was all in the 1970s. After entering the 1980s, there was no free assistance anymore, and everything was changed to normal arms sales. It would not be possible to tighten one's belt and give others food.
It happened again.
Unexpectedly, these people still hold on to illusions and hope that they can provide free assistance?
Not even if it’s just a drawing!
"Mr. Qin, you have already designed the submarine, and these drawings are still there. We will be very grateful to you for providing us with the drawings."
Can gratitude be exchanged for money? Can it be exchanged for wages of designers?
Qin Tao smiled secretly in his heart, but he still had to give him face.
"Everyone, with all due respect, even if I give you the design drawings, it doesn't make any sense. After all, the production technology of our factory is already the most advanced in the country. The production technology of your 033 submarines cannot satisfy our current needs.
"The submarine production needs." Qin Tao rejected their request: "The power, sonar, electronic equipment, weapons and other systems supporting our submarines are all at the world's advanced level. You have no way to purchase related products.
There is no way to complete the assembly, and you cannot even process the steel used in submarines like ours."
There's no point asking for blueprints, so just go to bed.
"After we go back, we can modify the design drawing according to our own supporting products." Yin Chengze said.
"After the modification, isn't it still a 033?" Qin Tao said: "Whether it is the silent performance or the weapons and equipment, it is the same as before! Even if you can't understand this design principle, you will still be modifying it.
Something went wrong.”
Yin Chengze was silent.
Qin Tao is right, even if there is some excuse, but according to their current strength, it is indeed impossible to produce it.
"Your only choice is to order from us. We have just signed a contract with a South American country to order two ships at a cost of 200 million US dollars each. You can also order if you need. The price is still the same, but we can
I’ll give you an extra cabin in the middle.”
Adding extra cabins? Yin Chengze opened his eyes wide again.
Even Xu Zhengyang was curious. Of course he knew that his own 039b submarine did not have this design plan. What additional compartments were added?
"It is not safe to transport your logs by land alone. If you have submarine-launched logs on hand, you can put them on the submarine," Qin Tao said.
The expressions on the faces of the people opposite were obviously shocked.
Mr. Qin revealed their plan!
It is still unsafe to rely solely on land transportation, so once missiles are available, they will continue to develop submarine-launched ballistic missiles. Dongfang only made a breakthrough in submarine-launched ballistic missile technology in the 1980s, but at that time there was no one dedicated to carrying such missiles.
The Xia-class submarine uses a modified 033 submarine, which is just for testing anyway.
Because the submarine-launched ballistic missile is too big, this specially modified submarine added an extra cabin, which is directly flush with the control tower. The control tower seems to have changed from a thin one to a fat one, which looks very weird.
For the country, using conventional submarines to carry mushroom bombs is just for testing and to verify related technologies. For the North Kimchi Country, it is a necessary choice. They do not have the ability to develop nuclear submarines.
The Kimchi Country is also working hard. After the collapse of the Red Empire, it is said that the Kimchi Country also made a fortune from it and obtained the relevant technical details of the R27, Lao Maozi's first practical submarine-launched medium-range ballistic missile. And on the basis of the R27
, maintaining the original configuration and developed the "Polaris" series of submarine-launched medium-range ballistic missiles. This thing is a solid missile!
I don’t know how their research and development is progressing. In short, they definitely need submarines that can launch submarine-launched missiles. The larger the displacement of such submarines, the better. Our own 039b is the most suitable.
When they talked about this, the other party was very excited, but when they thought of the price of 200 million US dollars, they still felt sad.
"Mr. Qin, we are unable to pay such a large sum of money. Can you..."
"If you don't have money, you can only modify your own 033 submarine, which we are not familiar with. You can cooperate with some of our domestic units and purchase relevant modification solutions from them."
Qin Tao said: "After all, we have never built a 033 submarine, and we are not familiar with this kind of submarine. That..."
Xu Zhengyang on the side understood: "Mr. Qin, we called from the airport. The plane has been delayed for half an hour. It's almost time. Please go there immediately."
"Well, everyone, I'm sorry."
"Wait a minute, Mr. Qin, we have another request."
besides!
Qin Tao was also speechless. He just blocked the other party's words, because the other party would definitely ask whether it could be done on credit first, whether it could be cheaper, etc. Mingzhou Group is not a charity, so there is no need to talk to them.
Obsess over these.
It's just that these guys are really endless!
Qin Tao frowned: "What else do you have in mind?"
"Mr. Qin, we saw that your 022 missile boat is very good despite its small size. Can you give us the production drawings of this missile boat? We also want to produce this kind of missile boat."
Want it endlessly!
These guys are also self-aware and know that Mr. Qin cannot give them products for free, so they don't want products, only design drawings.
"Of course I can give you the drawings, but they are meaningless." Qin Tao said: "The biggest features of the catamaran missile boats are their high speed and flexibility. We use high-power diesel engines and special water-jet propellers. These are not yours."
The most you can produce is the shell of a catamaran missile boat, and you simply cannot obtain the performance of a real catamaran missile boat."
Without high-power engines and waterjet propellers, the missile boat would have lost its soul!
"Mr. Qin, we have already found out that the relevant water jet thrusters are produced in the machinery factory affiliated to your Mingzhou Group. Can you..."
"We can only charge the cost price, which is US$500,000 for one sprinkler and US$2 million for four." Qin Tao immediately made a decision: "For friends, we are definitely interesting enough. Okay, I really have to go.
.If you have any other needs, you can tell our reception staff.”
When Qin Tao left, Yin Chengze was still there wanting to say something, but Mr. Qin had a flight to catch and really couldn't accompany them to continue the communication.
The car drove quickly towards the airport.
"Mr. Qin, those people are really nice to ask for those things from us." Xu Zhengyang was very emotional.
"Of course, you have to get used to reaching out and talking to others, so how can they have the consciousness to buy." Qin Tao said: "In the past few years, across the bridge, people here envied the life there, not because of the Red Empire
When the Red Empire collapsed, they wanted to ask us for assistance, asking us to replace the Red Empire and continue to let them live a comfortable life. We refused, and instead made progress with the South Kimchi Country. For a long time, they
They are all scolding us, haha, why don’t they come to beg us now?”
"Mr. Qin, if we provide technology so that they can obtain underwater ballistic missile launch capabilities, will it pose a threat to us?" Xu Zhengyang continued.
Qin Tao smiled: "This is not what we have to consider. Anyway, we will not provide relevant technology, let the 033 design unit worry."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After talking for a long time, no agreement was actually reached. However, it seems that Mingzhou Group has said a lot and done a lot. Mingzhou Group is still very sincere.
It's not that Qin Tao doesn't want to do business, but he won't do business without reimbursement and even taking international risks.
"The next time you go to Parthia, encourage Parthia to cooperate with them. Their mutual cooperation is mutually beneficial."
"Dear passengers, the weather conditions on our route are complicated, so we need to continue to delay departure."
The apologetic voice of the flight attendant came again from the passenger plane. If the weather conditions are not good, of course we cannot fly, otherwise there will be a flight accident. Who dares to take this risk?
Fortunately, no one was seen in the economy class. The business class door in front was opened and a few people got on the plane. After that, the weather conditions improved. As expected, God gave these people some face.
The sound of the engine sounded, the plane began to taxi on the runway, and then flew into the sky.
A journey begins.
For Qin Tao, this is indeed just a trip. He is a shipbuilder, and there is no use in going to the plateau. He just goes to visit relatives and see how his wife is doing.
After getting off the plane and riding in the car for a long time, finally, on the morning of the third day, Qin Tao arrived at the plateau test firing site of Hongqi 16.
I saw some vehicles from a distance, all of which were three-axle military vehicles.
There are two missile launch vehicles among them. They have poked the six-pack missiles on their backs on the ground. The six cylinders are pointing to the sky. They look very spectacular. There is also a special operation cabin behind the cab of the launch vehicle.
All are camouflage disguises.
Not far from these launch vehicles are specialized radar vehicles. However, when Qin Tao saw the rotating radar antenna on it, he felt a sense of déjà vu. Isn't this the roof radar used by our navy?
Hongqi 16 was first developed for the navy, and was later transferred to land-based use. Therefore, there is no sea word in front of Hongqi 16. However, even the navy's roof radar is used, which still makes Qin Tao feel a little funny.
.
"Mr. Qin, welcome to come here for inspection." When the car stopped, the commander of the radar unit Luo Minghai was already standing at the door to greet him.
Looking at his rosy face, Qin Tao had an ominous premonition in his heart. When he sees his wife later, will she also have plateau red cheeks?
This is not pretty.
Qin Tao stepped out of the car with a long stride, and then felt darkness in front of him.
"Mr. Qin, the altitude here is a full 4,500 meters. You just came up from below, so you can't do strenuous exercise." Fortunately, Luo Minghai on the side had quick eyesight and quick hands, and quickly helped Qin Tao.
Qin Tao calmed down for a few seconds before his eyes lit up again. There was always a strange feeling in his lungs. No matter how hard he breathed, he couldn't breathe enough! He always felt like gasping for air.
"Mr. Qin, please adjust your breathing and try to be as steady as possible. Don't take a big breath, otherwise you will get less oxygen. Why don't you take two breaths?"
"No need." Qin Tao stood firm, adjusted his breathing, and then walked forward, one step, two steps, three steps. As long as he didn't exercise violently, there would be no big problem.
Once on the plateau, people turn into snails.
"Attention, make final inspection." When Qin Tao walked to the radar truck, he heard a familiar voice coming from inside.
Zhao Ling also happened to turn her head outside at this time. After seeing Qin Tao, she smiled: "You have to come. By the time we finish these tests, we will be able to go back."
"You come here to endure hardship, and I also have to experience it." Qin Tao said: "From your tone, it seems that you are almost done?"
"Yes, we are going to conduct an experiment today. If the experiment is successful, it means that there is no problem with the adjustment of our flight control program."
Flight control program adjustment?
Qin Tao was very curious.
However, seeing his wife wanting to explain, Qin Tao quickly shook his head: "Don't talk too much, save your energy."
With a smile on her face, Zhao Ling turned to work again.
The missile needs to overcome many difficulties when reaching the plateau: low atmospheric pressure, large temperature difference between day and night, and strong radiation. The low oxygen content makes it difficult not only for people to breathe, but also for various vehicles. The generator set of the entire missile system also faces power shortages.
The problem of insufficient output.
Fortunately, these are common problems that all kinds of equipment will face on the plateau. They are easy to overcome, but there are also many that the missile system needs to adjust.
For example, wind shear in alpine areas.
Although ordinary missiles can face problems when they can shoot to a height of tens of thousands of meters, they are launched at a low altitude after all. By the time they fly to a high altitude, their flight attitude has long been stable.
In plateau areas, the initial launch height is only a few kilometers, which causes a big problem. For example, the missile may encounter wind shear just after it flies out, or even when the missile is coldly launched from the launch tube.
In recent times, the team led by Zhao Ling has solved this kind of problem. There is a big difference between the aerodynamic performance of the missile and the sea level, so it must be compensated by optimizing the flight control program so that the missile can adjust its attitude as much as possible.
Avoid losing control.
Qin Tao sat next to him and looked at his wife silently. A woman at work had a unique charm. He could never get enough of his wife.
"Are you curious about the radar outside?" Zhao Ling suddenly said.
Although Qin Tao was reluctant to let his wife speak just now, Zhao Ling was still very happy to see Qin Tao and couldn't help but speak again.
Qin Tao nodded.
"Actually, we originally planned to use a phased array radar search radar vehicle, but on the first day, the radar's high-power magnetron discharged and ignited." Zhao Ling said, "So we can only do it first.
Let’s make do with this roof-mounted radar, the performance of this radar is really good.”
Active phased array radar has just begun to become practical. It is expensive and can only be used by the navy. Other forces have to use passive phased array radar. Even the radar vehicle of the Red Flag 9 missile is passive phased array.
After the Hongqi 16 was transferred from the navy to land-based use, it also used this kind of phased array radar. Anyway, there is no need to worry about the weight and power consumption of the vehicle. After taking it from a brother unit, it can be used with some modifications.
However, there is no problem in the plains, but it will break down on the plateau. Electronic equipment is very sensitive to external conditions, and the insulation strength will also change. The situation here is different from that of Lao Maozi. After all, it is just cold there, but here
Not only is it cold, but the air pressure is low, and the insulation performance is also problematic.
On the contrary, the roof radar survived. It is probably because of its use at sea. Its insulation ability is already strong, and its power is lower than that of the phased array radar.
Outside, the radar antenna is still rotating.
"Attention, find the target!"
This news immediately made everyone nervous.
Zhao Ling also gave up chatting with Qin Tao and became serious.
"Search radar tracking is normal, target illumination radar is ready to start!"
"The target illumination radar has stably tracked the target!"
"Attention, prepare to launch missiles!"
"emission!"
Following this sound, there was a bang outside.
One of the top covers of the six-pack launch tube was broken, and the pointed warhead flew out first, followed by the missile body. The entire missile looked so powerful, like a sword unsheathed.
The missile continued to fly upward, and then, a ball of flame appeared at the tail, and the ignition was successful! As if it had taken a stimulant, the missile began to speed up, swishing upward, and disappeared, leaving only the flame at the tail.
Here, we are still tracking.
There was a moment of nervousness in the radar car.
"Hit the target!" Finally, the radar operator shouted excitedly as he watched the missile and target light spots disappear.
Everyone shouted excitedly.
Success, success!
On a plateau of 4,500 meters, they successfully completed the interception experiment of the Hongqi-16 missile. Even if it was not suitable for strenuous exercise, they did not care.
Qin Tao touched his nose helplessly: "If I come one day late, will I stop coming?"
