Chapter 976: Want a gas turbine? We can provide it at any time!
Qin Tao spent a whole day visiting Tula and returned to Moscow by car that evening. When he returned, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
Like other capitals, Moscow is also brightly lit. When a few people got off the bus, they saw Zaitsev greeted on the platform with an apology on his face: "Mr. Qin, our navy has signed a contract with the French.
Your Excellency Nicholas would like to treat you to a drink and apologize to you."
"Forget it. Business is business. Nicholas has his own difficulties. It's not convenient for me to be alone with Nicholas, right?"
"Now that the bidding has ended, you don't have to avoid suspicion. You are good friends. If you don't meet each other, it will arouse suspicion."
Qin Tao nodded: "Okay."
At the Bolshoi Theater, a famous actress performed ballet gracefully. Qin Tao took Zhao Ling to sit next to Nikolai and experienced the influence of art. After coming out, it was already twelve o'clock, and several people came
We arrived at the bar next to the Grand Theater.
"Qin, the contract has been signed. I'm sorry that we didn't give it to you. Although we think Mingzhou Group is the most suitable, the superiors have their own considerations."
"We also think that the 075 with a displacement of 40,000 tons is your best choice." Qin Tao said: "We are sorry, but this does not affect our friendship. I went to Tula City to see the car factory there.
very nice."
"Well, we are full of confidence in this project." Nicholas was curious, why did Qin Tao always change the topic?
"However, I am not at ease about cooperating with the French." Nicholas continued: "After all, we have been deceived by the West many times."
"How else can the French deceive you? The most they can do is to use the excuse of rising costs and ask you to spend more money during construction. You just need to explain it in the contract," Qin Tao said.
"Yes, we are also aware of this." Nikolai said: "If they dare to increase the price, it will be a violation of the contract and they will have to compensate us a sum of money."
"They may not have the money to compensate you by then, and they are arguing with each other. If something like that really happens, come to us at any time, and I will mediate for you. Maybe we can find a solution that has the best of both worlds."
"Well, thank you, Qin, you are our best friend, our forever friend!"
The wine glasses clinked together and they both drank.
"Now that the matter is over, I will go back." Qin Tao said: "Our group still has many things to do. Finally, congratulations on entering a new era."
In the same city, the boss didn't sleep either. He listened to these conversations almost simultaneously. After listening, there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.
Are Orientals really free from desires? This Nicholas and Mr. Qin have a truly great friendship?
However, as a big boss, he must know how to weigh and never give all orders to Dongfang. He does not think his choice is wrong.
"Report." At this moment, a voice sounded outside.
"Come in."
"I just received definite news that in order to improve the power of warships, the French decided to purchase gas turbines from the East."
The boss realized that Mr. Qin could take it or let it go because they would still get enough benefits from this project even if they did not win the bid!
It's good that the gas turbines produced by Dongfang are also used on our own modified warships, so that the power systems are consistent and easier to maintain in the future.
This matter is finally over!
Da Mao’s revival is about to begin! Big bosses are also looking forward to it.
A special plane landed at Mingzhou Airport. After getting off, Qin Tao looked at the sparse people in the airport. Everyone he saw was wearing a mask.
"Mr. Qin, according to your arrangement, our petrochemical industry has accelerated the deployment of polypropylene non-woven fabrics since last year. At the beginning of this year, our production capacity reached its peak. In recent months, this production line has been operating at full speed.
Production to meet domestic needs. Now, many downstream companies are lamenting that if we had not provided sufficient melt-blown non-woven fabrics, this year's masks would be in short supply and the prices would rise."
Qin Tao nodded: "We are already a large enterprise. Of course we have to consider people's livelihood. As long as there is sufficient supply in the market, we can keep the price down."
"However, there are still a group of speculators who are hoarding a lot and want to make a fortune."
Make a fortune?
Qin Tao had a smile on his face: "Masks have a service life. They are hoarding them and waiting to lose everything."
Masks are the best way to filter air. The most important material is an extremely fine and electrostatically charged inner filter cloth: melt-blown non-woven fabric.
This kind of non-woven fabric comes from polypropylene, a by-product of the petroleum industry. When dust in the air comes close to this non-woven fabric, it will be electrostatically adsorbed on the surface of the non-woven fabric and cannot pass through. Compared with the previous era of medical multi-layer gauze
The mask is much easier to use.
Of course, polypropylene is not only used in masks, but also in non-woven fabrics, clothing fabrics, carpet silk, civil hygiene products and other fields.
Therefore, when Qin Tao specifically proposed to increase the production capacity of this kind of non-woven fabric last year, everyone was still curious. Even if it was used for Eight Wolf men's clothing, would it be too much? This year, I suddenly realized that Mr. Qin is so powerful that everything
Just like the prophet.
This year, mask factories across the country are operating at full capacity, and the demand for non-woven fabrics required for such masks has suddenly increased. If Mingzhou Group had not provided sufficient supply, the price would have definitely skyrocketed.
As for the few unscrupulous businessmen who are hoarding money? The police investigation and handling is one thing, and letting them lose all their money is another.
After all, masks cannot be worn for several months.
"Mr. Qin, according to domestic requirements, we need to stay in a special hotel for a few days." Xu Zhengyang said.
"It doesn't matter, let's just rest for a few days." Qin Tao said, "After working hard for so long, just treat it as a vacation."
President Qin suddenly disappeared, which made the French anxious. Fortunately, a week later, they finally contacted Qin Tao.
In the spacious office of Mingzhou Shipyard, Qin Tao turned on his computer, logged on to ICQ, opened the video inside, and an anxious face appeared.
"President Qin, I am Dekaina. There have been some changes in our domestic aircraft carrier construction."
"What changes?"
"In order to reduce costs, we may not increase the displacement. It will remain the same as the Charles de Gaulle, about 40,000 tons. This will also facilitate our shipyard construction."
"so what?"
"So, we only need to order two UGT40000 gas turbines, not four."
"Of course, no problem. Two units are worth 100 million US dollars."
"Excuse me, when can you deliver it?"
"When will you pay the full payment and when will we deliver the goods?"
"Full payment? Mr. Qin, our funds are temporarily insufficient, can you..."
"No." Qin Tao's answer was straightforward: "We never accept credit. If you want the engine, you have to pay the full price. By the way, we are talking about FOB prices, and you are responsible for the transportation costs. If you want
If you don’t have enough funds, forget it.”
"No, no, Mr. Qin, we will try our best to raise enough funds, please give us time!"
In the entire project with Damao, the biggest variable is the engine. They have to buy the engine first. If Oriental doesn't sell it in the future, or raises the price, won't they lose money?
They must control this variable.
"I'm not in a hurry. As soon as you have the full payment, I'll come to pick up the goods." Qin Tao said, "I'm still busy, so I hung up."
After turning off the video, Qin Tao lay comfortably on the chair.
"I'm very curious. According to Damao's requirements, they purchased two of our UGT25000s, and combined with their two diesel engines, the power output is enough for 60 megawatts. Why did they purchase our 40-megawatt gas turbines?" Zhao Ling asked very much.
Puzzled.
The Mistral-class amphibious assault ship uses three sets of Vasilan 16 V32 diesel generator sets, each with 6.2 MW, and a Vasaa 18V200 auxiliary diesel generator set with a power of 3 MW, which together reaches more than 20 MW.
Watts of power.
It's okay to use it on the French's own northwest wind. After all, the French navy does not pursue speed, but Da Mao put forward hard conditions for the French: the output power must be sufficient, not only the speed must meet the standard, but also power must be reserved for electromagnetic ejection, at least
It has to be sixty megawatts!
The original 20 MW power generation power of the French did not change, but they added a 40 MW gas turbine from the Mingzhou Group, so that they could reach 60 MW. If two UGT25000s are used, it will be considered a conventional
model, also has a power of 26.7 megawatts, so two units are enough for more than fifty megawatts, plus two diesel engines.
The combination of two gas turbines and two diesel engines is the choice of many warships. Now, the French are unconventional and not taking the usual path?
"Of course it's interest." Qin Tao said: "If the purchase of diesel engines is reduced, the French Diesel Engine Company will make less money. They must balance these interests. In this way, one of our gas turbines is enough. And only one of our gas turbines is enough."
Adding an additional unit also makes it easier to free up space.”
Zhao Ling nodded, feeling sad for these French colleagues, who had to look forward and backward in everything they did, but could not choose the optimal solution from a technical perspective.
Of course, it is good for us. After all, the 40-megawatt gas turbine is produced by us, and it can be sold at a high price.
"Doesn't this old man have any complaints?"
"What complaints does Lao Maozi have? Their Kuznetsov uses 9 turbine generators and 6 diesel generators. They won't have too many," Qin Tao said.
I don’t know if Lao Maozi’s generators don’t have large ones. Each generator only has 1,500 kilowatts. After using so much, we only managed to collect 22.5 megawatts of electricity. If we were on our own side, just one generator would be enough.
This matter has come to an end for the time being. The French have no choice but to raise US$90 million. Together with the previous US$10 million deposit, they can collect US$100 million to purchase two four-wheel drive vehicles from Mingzhou Group.
Ten megawatt gas turbine.
Qin Tao didn't take this matter to heart. A contract worth 100 million US dollars was not worthy of his attention. Naturally, what he valued most was other projects in the shipyard.
On the slipway, the first ship of the Type 055 destroyer has started construction. Although it did not take long, the bow part of the ship has been built. Compared with the previous 052 destroyer, its broken line running through the hull is lower, even if
Even from space, it can be seen clearly. After all, using this fold line as the dividing line, the buildings above will be recycled inward.
At the same time, the second section is also being built in the open space next to it. After it is completed, it will be hoisted over to connect the sections. The fold line of this second section will be clearer.
I wonder how long it will take for the West to know that it is building a giant ship? What will it think when it finds out?
Qin Tao was full of interest.
The 055 on the slipway is still under construction, and on the outfitting dock, the outfitting of the first 052DL destroyer is accelerating.
"The speed here is pretty good." Qin Tao nodded and looked at the vertical launch unit that had been hoisted. The complete bow looked very beautiful.
"Yes, although there have been some accidents, they have not affected our outfitting." Military representative Meng Fansheng lamented on the sidelines: "Mingzhou Group is the first group to make correct responses, and your experience is being fully utilized
Promotion.”
"It's nothing, just spray some more 84 disinfectant." Qin Tao said: "Fortunately, we have a subordinate factory that can produce this product. Otherwise, it would be really difficult for us. After all, our shipyard cannot fully
Closed operation.”
If the workers are wearing masks, they will definitely not be able to work, so everything is normal inside. Besides, everyone not only has to work, but also has to eat and sleep. There is no way to prevent this.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! All workers are required to concentrate in the shipyard and not have contact with the outside world, but their shipyard still needs a large number of accessories.
This requires a magic weapon like 84 disinfectant.
All accessories that need to enter the shipyard will be sprayed with 84 disinfectant, but this only sprays the outer packaging box. If many precious equipment are disassembled and sprayed once, they will probably be useless.
What to do inside?
Of course, we then go to the warehouse.
After being blasted, the accessories will be heated after entering the warehouse.
That's right, it means heating. The temperature in the warehouse is raised to 50 degrees and kept for a day. Then, you can use it as you like.
Fortunately, they were shipbuilders, so if they were cooking ingredients, they would be done with them.
As long as we plan ahead and prepare relevant accessories two days in advance, the process will not be delayed. When many brother units have to stop work, only Mingzhou Group is not affected and continues to work at full speed.
"Mr. Qin, the key is to arrange this process. It takes time to carry out. You actually have a plan in advance. It is really not easy."
Qin Tao smiled: "We like to prepare for rainy days."
"A few days ago, the navy leaders heard that the progress of the 052DL destroyer was very good, and they wanted to come and take a look, but the old factory director immediately refused." Meng Fansheng continued: "I didn't expect that the old factory director would still have this kind of thing.
Courage.”
"My dad refused?" Qin Tao shook his head helplessly: "This old man really doesn't know the importance. The navy leader is coming, can we refuse? After coming, we just need to live in a single room for a week according to our rules.
"
"How can navy leaders have that time?" Meng Fansheng said, "But Mr. Qin, you stayed in a single room for a week when you came back. This is an example. With your example, no one else will dare to violate this system."
"Well, this is for the normal operation of our shipyard." Qin Tao said: "None of us can break this rule."
"Unfortunately, this unexpected change still has a great impact. Originally, the Navy planned to hold a meeting related to the second aircraft carrier." Meng Fansheng said: "Now it seems that it has to be pushed back."
It is said that this year will be the Great Leap Forward. The Navy will launch many projects, the most important of which is of course the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier code-named 003.
Although it has been determined that Mingzhou Group will build it, it will definitely require multiple consultation meetings, and it is impossible to make a decision all at once. Now, the technical staff of Mingzhou Group cannot go to the capital for meetings, so the project can only be put on hold temporarily.
.
"The Navy still doesn't have the guts, just hold an online meeting." Qin Tao said: "Remote working has long become an advanced office method, but it's a pity that the Navy still doesn't dare."
"This kind of meeting is very important, and no secrets should be leaked." Meng Fansheng said: "Although the entire network was built by us, we are also worried about security issues. After all, this network is public."
"We can also ensure security on public networks." Qin Tao said: "Of course, if the military feels that our network is not suitable, it can also build its own private network."
In fact, national defense networks have long existed. The Internet has evolved from early national defense networks. However, in previous eras, the communication capacity of national defense networks was very low. Domestic national defense networks actually started from data communication networks and were used in the early days.
Copper wires were used, and optical fibers were used later, but the commander's orders were still transmitted through them.
The national defense optical cable network that is truly the same as the Internet has not yet been laid. If the military wants to hold a video conference through the Internet, it can only use civilian networks.
The video conference to be held now will discuss the 003 aircraft carrier, and may even display various detailed drawings. Therefore, the military has concerns and does not dare to use this kind of network.
Hearing what Qin Tao said, Meng Fansheng smiled and said nothing else. How much would it cost to build a nationwide network similar to the Internet?
This is not a matter of words.
Moreover, even if it is necessary to lay optical cables, it must be the Army's priority. After all, the Army is on land and the Navy is only along the coast. When the Army has laid it, the Navy can use it.
"Everyone, give way, our fly swatter is going to be hoisted!" At this moment, a voice came from afar.
When hoisting, there must be no one underneath, otherwise it will be a big trouble if it falls, not to mention, what is being hoisted now is one of the largest components in the outfitting!
Flyswatter!
Qin Tao looked over and saw that the huge flat shelf had been replaced by a fly swatter from a clothes drying rack. His own warship's anti-stealth capability had reached a new level.
