Zhou Gong." Just as Zhou Weiguo walked out reluctantly, a voice came from behind.
Zhou Weiguo turned around and saw a familiar figure: "Mr. Qin?"
Everyone was on their way to the cafeteria. After all, it was already nightfall after the meeting, so they had to eat before leaving. However, they didn't expect Mr. Qin to come to him on his own initiative.
"Do you have any instructions?" Zhou Weiguo asked.
"Instructions are out of the question." Qin Tao said, "You are engaged in shipbuilding equipment, and we are shipbuilders. I hope we can strengthen cooperation in the future."
Strengthen cooperation? Zhou Weiguo asked curiously: "Just now, didn't you deny our efforts over the years? Why do you do it again now..."
"Are you pretending to be a good person again?" Qin Tao said with a smile: "Gong Zhou, I always do things right and not right. When it comes to the technical route of catapults, I am a firm electromagnetic fan, and this also affects us.
The future development of the Navy is a key route issue, and I believe my choice is right."
"However, this does not mean that I have any opinions on you 704. You have been working tirelessly on steam catapults over the years, have overcome many technical problems, and have matured this technology. I have nothing but respect for you.
I admire you very much." Qin Tao said: "I am satisfied with an organization like yours, so I hope we can strengthen cooperation in the future."
"Well, Mr. Qin, thank you for your consideration. When I go back, I will convey your opinions to my superiors. I hope we can cooperate more in the future. If we join the big ship of your Mingzhou Group, we will also be prosperous in the future.
of."
At this time, Zhou Weiguo was excited again. Mr. Qin was a really good person, with principles and friendship.
Qin Tao handled it like this. Even the 704 institute that failed would still be grateful to Qin Tao and would not have any complaints against him. After the New Year, the two parties negotiated a multi-million dollar project package.
Now, watching Qin Tao and Zhou Weiguo talking, Wu Shengli sighed in his heart, his son-in-law is very versatile in both his skills and his conduct as a person!
When we arrived at the cafeteria, the food was already served, and there was even more wine!
"Comrades who didn't drink at noon can drink to their heart's content in the evening." Wu Shengli said with a smile: "Tonight's meal is equivalent to our navy's internal dinner."
Without the people in the Air Force, they are all in the Navy, so everyone can relax more.
After a few glasses of wine, I started to talk a lot.
"The person we admire most is Mr. Qin!"
"Yes, in fact we are also very satisfied with electromagnetic catapults and yearn for them. However, the high amount of research and development funds is a stumbling block for us. With Mingzhou Group guaranteeing us, we will have nothing to worry about." They kept saying at the meeting.
The leader who had been objecting smiled at this time.
"By the way, when can we get a batch of liquidated damages like the Air Force does?"
When it comes to making money, everyone is starting to have a lot of imagination.
"How is that possible? The navy's equipment can at most be purchased from Lao Maozi. It's good without a price increase." Qin Tao said.
When doing business, you have to look at the target. David people attach great importance to reputation, and they will pay compensation when it is necessary. What about Lao Maozi? Do you want compensation? If you need equipment, you have to pay more. If you have a face that is sure to win over the customer, if the Navy continues to pay from
It's good enough to order ships from Lao Maozi and not get scammed.
"Yes, you can tell the outcome just by looking at Ah San. By the way, it is said that Ah San's aircraft carrier will undergo sea trials recently."
"Season trial? Can it be so fast?" Everyone was surprised.
"On this project, Ah San has been holding his breath, so their progress is really not slow. Moreover, it is said that Lao Maozi's MiG-29K fighter jets have also arrived. It is said that they will also have to conduct sea trials this time.
Conduct take-off and landing experiments for carrier-based aircraft."
"This is to compare with us." Qin Tao said: "The modification project of our 001 aircraft carrier will be completed soon. Asan must rush to put the new aircraft carrier into service before us, so that he can compare with us.
Yes, but..."
"But what?"
"Ah San's shoddy and urgent work will definitely not end well. Let's just watch the show. I don't know if their pilots have gone through rigorous training." Qin Tao said with a smile: "Maybe when they land, they will
It will fall to the deck."
Ah San was indeed anxious.
The Super Sun King aircraft carrier was like a big joke. The whole world was watching their joke. They were very annoyed. Therefore, after getting the Super Sun King, they started emergency construction.
The power system was unreliable, so they simply replaced it with an LM2500 gas turbine. As long as the power system is complete, the aircraft carrier will be capable of sea trials!
Seeing Ah San's firm attitude, the Mikoyan Company was also anxious. They rushed to produce several MiG-29K prototypes and delivered them to Ah San, so that Ah San wouldn't be embarrassed and the plane would be discarded!
In this way, Ah San is finally happy. They have aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft, and they will also gain new combat effectiveness. The performance of fighter jets like the MiG-29K far exceeds that of the useless Sea Harrier!
Asan Naval Base Goa.
This is a base specially built by the Asan Navy to train MiG-29K pilots. Like the base in the east, it is a bit crude. In addition to the original runway, there is a special ski jump take-off device and a special blocked landing.
device.
It is impossible to simulate the shaking of the deck at sea, but at least it solves the problem of presence or absence.
A single-seat MiG-29K fighter jet was approaching the training base under the setting sun. In the cockpit, experienced veteran pilot Nishant Singh was diligently observing the Fresnel assist mirror and headphones.
Instructor Da Mao's roar came from inside.
"The glide line is incorrect, continue to press the control lever and close the accelerator!"
Boom!
The wheel hit the ground hard, and after sliding forward for a few meters, it barely hooked the last blocking rope.
After the plane stopped, the hairy instructor Toktar Obakilov ran towards the plane angrily and wanted to curse the damn idiot pilot. However, the ground crew who went over first lifted the pilot off the plane.
, and threw it high into the air.
Damn it, this kind of failed landing full of dangers still needs such a show off?
Toktar Obakilov was extremely annoyed. He was a test pilot of the Mikoyan Design Bureau. In 1988, the first MiG-29K carrier-based aircraft landed on an aircraft carrier under his control.
On the deck, although he is not as famous as Pugachev, he is also an excellent test pilot.
Naturally, he was responsible for the test flights of these MiG-29K carrier-based aircraft from the Mikoyan Design Bureau. Now, he has taken on the important task of training the pilots of the Asan Navy carrier-based aircraft, but no matter what, he is not happy.
.
"Our pilot is very good. It seems that the MiG-29K will have no problem landing on the Super Sun King tomorrow for sea trials." At this moment, a voice came from behind him.
What?
If you haven't learned to walk, you have to run? No, you have to fly?
Generally speaking, you need to go through hundreds of land takeoff and landing training before you can board an aircraft carrier. But now? The best pilot Asan said was just taking off and landing for the first time. This is simply impossible!
With annoyance in his heart, Obaselov turned his head back and saw that familiar person: Suraj Berry, captain of the aircraft carrier "Super Sun King".
"Captain Berry, I hope you can understand that you cannot land directly on an aircraft carrier without going through hundreds of flight training. This will be very dangerous." Obakilov said: "This of yours
These pilots are not yet qualified to land on ships."
"Yes, they are still relatively immature, but we can't wait." Suraj Berry said with some excitement: "Our aircraft carrier Super Sun King is going to conduct sea trials again. It has been delayed for a long time.
We must hurry up and announce to the outside world that our Chaori King has been put into service before the aircraft carrier in the East officially enters service, and we also need to release the video of the aircraft carrier's aircraft taking off and landing to the public!"
Looking at the pilot Ni, who is walking happily over there,
Sant Singh Obaselov shook his head helplessly: "If it takes off, as long as the aircraft carrier can accelerate to more than 25 knots and cooperate with the deck wind, there will be no problem. However, if it lands, I am the only one who can do it.
This kind of technology."
Although before the collapse of the Red Empire, the Su-27K, that is, the Su-33, was selected as an aircraft carrier-based aircraft, and the MiG-29K had no chance to land on the ship, but before that, Obakilov had already carried out several
After ten ship landing operations, after the MiG-29K was produced, he also took off and landed at the Nitka Center in Ermao several times. Obakilov still has this ability. But other Asan pilots
No more.
"Then we will hoist the remaining carrier-based aircraft to the deck of the aircraft carrier, and you will conduct the landing operations alone, how about that?" Suraj Berry said.
When there is no landing capability, the carrier-based aircraft must be hoisted to the deck of the aircraft carrier first to show off! At this time, Obakilov was a little helpless, but he had no other choice and could only nod: "Okay.
"
The next day, the sky was clear and it was good weather for flying. Only one of the first batch of delivered MiG-29Ks remained at the training base here.
Obakilov looked at the empty tarmac with mixed feelings in his heart. He strode towards the only MiG-29K and climbed into the cockpit.
Just when the Tbilisi, now the Kuznetsov, began to be designed, Lao Maozi realized the need for a brand-new carrier-based aircraft. The Mikoyan Design Bureau, which was still at its peak at the time, was already based on
The MiG-23 built a carrier-based aircraft, but it was undoubtedly lagging behind, so it decided to develop it on its most advanced MiG-29KVP prototype concept aircraft, such as taking off on a ski jump deck and so on.
After a period of testing, many results were obtained. This aircraft can take off and operate safely, but it is better to increase the wing area and replace it with a larger thrust engine. In this way, based on this prototype concept aircraft
, Mikoyan Design Bureau developed the land-based MiG-29M fighter project (product 9.15) and the sea-based MiG-29K fighter project (product 9.31).
Among them, the equipment of the MiG-29K is very different from the mass-produced land-based MiG-29A fighter: it has a more advanced multi-function "Beetle" radar, a cockpit with a monochrome display and a more advanced version at the time.
It is an advanced "hands-on-stick" control method. At the same time, in addition to mounting various air-to-air missiles, it can also mount anti-ship missiles, anti-radiation missiles and ground precision strike weapons.
Unfortunately, the Navy finally chose the Su-27K and named it Su-33. As a result, the original MiG-29K lost the need to continue research and development, and the project was terminated. It was not until Asan purchased the Super Sun
For the King aircraft carrier, the only choice of supporting carrier-based aircraft is the MiG-29K. For the Mikoyan Design Bureau, this is tantamount to providing timely help.
After all, more than ten years have passed, so Lao Maozi has more advanced technology. Compared with the prototype, this MiG-29K still has some changes.
For example, it has a newly designed wing with large trailing edge flaps, leading edge flaps and rounded wingtips. Special Kruger flaps are installed under the leading edge of the wing, specifically for
Helps MiG-29K improve low-speed stability during landing, making it more suitable for landing on aircraft carriers.
At the same time, the MiG-29K, which has been criticized for many years as having short legs but cannot fly over the Dnieper River, has also made other improvements. Its internal fuel has been increased to 6666 liters, and it can also be equipped with auxiliary fuel tanks to increase its range when needed.
The avionics system also uses the latest technology. The previous MiG-29A was still hydraulically controlled, but now this one has a four-degree digital fly-by-wire flight control. This is based on the MiG 1.44 developed by the Mikoyan Design Bureau.
developed advanced technology.
But after all, it was only the 1990s, and this MiG-29K was not a product of 2004. Compared with the latter, it is still divided into a single and double-seater layout, and the two-seater trainer aircraft has not yet been produced.
, and there are only two displays.
At this time, Obaselov was still very proud looking at the cockpit of this most advanced fighter jet. He flipped various switches and with the help of the ground, he calmly started the two tail jets.
engine.
Amidst the roar of the engine, the MiG-29K slid onto the runway and took off in the normal way. He did not need to ski jump the deck, which would consume precious engine life and fuel.
After taking off, he quickly left the land. On the blue sea, the navy blue fighter plane was flying lightly, and Obaselov turned on the radar.
The Beetle radar in front of the nose is Lao Maozi's most advanced airborne radar at present. Its air detection range is more than a hundred kilometers, and its sea detection range is even further. Therefore, it is clearly displayed on the radar screen
A bright spot came out, allowing Obaselov to set his course.
There is no way, Ah San is also a quick-tempered person. The radar on the upper level of the bridge, the carrier-based aircraft homing guidance system, etc. have not been installed yet, so he eagerly came out to show off. If the carrier-based aircraft wants to find the aircraft carrier, they have to do it themselves.
Turn on radar.
"The Fulcrum is calling the Chaori King. The target has been found. The distance is 150 kilometers." Obaselov shouted on the radio. Fortunately, the Chaori King aircraft carrier has installed a radio, otherwise the contact would be a complete mess.
*bother.
"The Super Sun King has received it."
Suraj Berry was very happy after receiving the news. He shouted loudly: "Now, sail at full speed, deck crew is ready! Camera is ready!"
This is a historic moment. After operating the Sea Harrier, the Asan Navy has never obtained a carrier-based aircraft to block the landing. This is the first time, which also means that they will return to the top!
On the azure sea, with rippling blue waves, the Super Sun King aircraft carrier cut through thorns and thorns, and the bow of the ship split through the waves. It was extremely spectacular. The sailors on the nearby warships accompanying the voyage also applauded one after another.
This is the real aircraft carrier. The previous aircraft carriers were too small!
In order to replace the original engines, Asan luxuriously purchased four LM2500 gas turbines from the United States. The total power of these four engines exceeds 100,000 horsepower. According to calculations, the maximum speed of this aircraft carrier should reach 28 knots. However, considering
Due to the influence of various unexpected factors, as long as the sea trial can achieve a speed of 25 knots, it will mean success for Ah San.
The engines are roaring and the aircraft carrier is accelerating continuously, 15 knots, 20 knots, 25 knots!
"There is still room for improvement. We should be able to achieve the design target of 28 knots!" On the ship island, the engineer from the Naval Design Bureau who participated in the sea trial said excitedly.
"Yes, it will become a true aircraft carrier. Moreover, it will use advanced gas turbines. It can reach the top speed when it is started. It is much more convenient than burning a boiler! The new aircraft carrier we build ourselves will also use this mature power.
System!" Suraj Berry was very excited.
"Report, the carrier-based aircraft has been sighted!" a lookout shouted loudly.
"Attention, the cameras are on to record the landing of our carrier-based aircraft. This is a great era!" Suraj Berry became even more excited.
At this time, Obakilov also saw the aircraft carrier on the sea. Although it was a behemoth of more than 40,000 tons, it was still a small dot in the sky. For carrier-based aircraft pilots, the first thing to overcome
Fear psychology, everything is carried out according to usual training.
Obaselov continued to fly forward, approaching at the height and speed he had learned many times. The aircraft carrier in the distance gradually grew larger as he approached.
The large flight deck and the high jump deck on the bow of the ship look so familiar. There are also several carrier-based aircraft docked on the rear deck, which were hoisted up in advance. However, the location of the ship island is somewhat unique.
The right side of the island was big enough to pass a MiG-29K with folding wings, which made him feel a little funny.
However, he can't think about this now. He has to concentrate on preparing for landing.
Fresnel's assist mirror lit up, and he skillfully operated the fighter plane and slid down the prescribed slope.
On the island, countless people were watching. Suddenly, someone shouted: "He didn't put the hook!"
"How could our instructors make such a mistake?"
"Quick, radio call!"
Suddenly, after a period of busyness, the radio conversation continued.
"Fulcrum, please lower the landing hook!"
"The fulcrum is received. This time it is a low-altitude pass. I am looking for the most suitable glide line." Obaselov's answer came from the radio.
Obaselov sneered at these ignorant guys.
When he landed on the Tbilisi aircraft carrier, he flew dozens of sorties before he found the appropriate glide line. Now, the Chaori King and Tbilisi have different displacements and different deck areas. He used to
The experience cannot be used anymore and needs to be modified again.
Don’t these Asans understand this truth?
However, Ah San has been operating vertical take-off and landing fighter jets, so maybe he really doesn’t understand this.
With contempt, Obaselov flew the MiG-29K fighter plane over the aircraft carrier deck.
The roar sounded, and the air waves were beating against the portholes. When operating the Sea Harrier before, there had never been such a spectacular scene! Everyone watched the beautiful MiG-29K fly by in front of their eyes, and they were extremely excited.
Some people were even shouting and waving.
From this position, they could not see the lowered landing gear of the MiG-29K. Instead, they could see the top and even the pilot in the cockpit who was concentrating on flying the fighter plane.
Obakilov pulled up again, circled back to the rear of the aircraft carrier, made slight adjustments to his attitude based on his previous experience, and then landed again.
With his previous experience, he had enough confidence after just fine-tuning. This time, not only the landing gear, but also the landing hook had been lowered.
Like a nimble swift, the fighter plane gradually approached, and then got closer. The cheers just disappeared, and everyone was watching the plane nervously until the plane's wheels touched the deck.
Boom!
The vibration came, much more spectacular than the landing of the Sea Harrier!
The landing hook scraped forward on the deck, and firmly hooked the second blocking cable, just like pulling a bow and arrow, pulling the blocking cable into an obtuse angle, and the fighter plane also stopped steadily.
"Great! Our Asan Navy now has an advanced third-generation carrier-based aircraft!" Suraj Berry said: "Let's go to the deck to welcome the first hero to land! Radio, report to the rear!
"
By the time these people got off, a yellow tractor had already driven past. The two round headlights on the front were very cute, and the words AIREET were spray-painted on the side. The tractor driver was very experienced and drove directly towards the MiG.
-29K, then the equally experienced assistant took a yellow tow bar and hung it on the nose landing gear of the aircraft and the front of the tractor.
The tractor driver put the reverse gear on, took the aircraft away from the landing position, started, reversed, and turned, making a large circle on the deck and arriving at the far take-off point on the left side of the landing area on the angled deck. Sure enough, it was
A veteran who has been doing the job for many years and has rich experience, he gets it right the first time and is accurate.
The gangway went up, the canopy opened, and Obaselov stood there, waving to the people below, and then walked down.
He was expected to receive flowers and applause, but as soon as he came down, Nishant Singh climbed up impatiently, got into the cockpit, and closed the cockpit cover.
What is this going to do? Is it going to take off?
"Now, let us welcome the first pilot to land on the ship. He is the best carrier-based aircraft pilot in our navy, Nishant Singh!"
Someone is holding a camera, someone is holding a microphone, and they are saying something in front of the camera.
Obakilov understood immediately, and for some reason, he suddenly felt very nauseous.
