MTL - Warship of Great Power-Chapter 708 Eight Hangor-class submarines

The plate bending machine can be sold. This thing is different from the 3D plate bending machine. It can only roll steel plates and cannot make other shapes. The large-scale 3D CNC plate bending machine can easily bend steel into various shapes, which can be greatly improved. Speeding up the progress of shipbuilding is definitely not for sale. However, the plate rolling machine is only for coiling steel plates, and it can't do anything else, so of course it can be sold.

   "President Qin, I don't understand the meaning of your words." Mahmoud replied.

"I'm asking about the quantity of your purchases. If it's like the contract negotiated with France, there are three ships in total. The first ship is built by France, the second ship is provided by France for you to assemble, and the third ship is manufactured by yourself. It is necessary to purchase a bending machine, after all, I can only build one myself, which is too wasteful." Qin Tao said: "You directly purchase the bent parts from us, and it will be more convenient to go back and weld."

   Mahmoud realized that it is indeed not cost-effective to purchase equipment just for one ship! but…

"If you order more, say eight, the first four will be produced by us, and the last four will be produced by yourself, then it will make sense to buy a bending machine." Qin Tao said: "Your existing Submarines should be eliminated. I think you need eight submarines to protect your maritime rights and interests. You need a strong underwater force. After all, our submarines are powerful. They can not only launch torpedoes, but also launch submarines. In particular, it can also be equipped with long-range cruise missiles with a range of several thousand kilometers, and the warheads of these missiles can also be equipped with mushroom bombs as needed."

  Mahmoud's breath became short of breath: "Mr. Qin, is what you said true?"

"I don't lie in front of my friends." Qin Tao said, "You guys know my character. This kind of weapon is still kept secret at present, but I believe that there will be an export license in the future, and you will be ours. First customer for this weapon."

  Submarines are concealed underwater, not only can attack surface ships, but also carry out long-distance attacks! Special submarine-launched missiles can be launched from the torpedo tube, and it can also be a long-range cruise missile!

what does that mean?

  The compact diesel-electric submarine has transformed into a strategic nuclear submarine!

  The old bus doesn’t need a missile with a range of tens of thousands of kilometers, only a few thousand kilometers is enough. It usually patrols in the Indian Ocean. When it needs it, it can deter the opponent at any time. Thinking about this scene makes them excited.

  Mushroom bombs not only need to have, but also need to have a delivery vehicle and a means of launching it! Nuclear bombs at sea are the most concealed and belong to the most critical secondary nuclear counterattack force!

Zhao Ling, who was by Qin Tao's side, was a little curious. Of course, she knew what Qin Tao meant to sell more submarines, so she wanted to find uses for these submarines. However, mushroom bombs are so good obtained?

   What Qin Tao said now, is he a little outspoken?

"If you want to purchase multiple submarines and make your own, you need a bending machine. After you have this equipment, you can also use it to make other equipment." Qin Tao continued: "For example, your fertilizer industry is still Not enough, if you want to make fertilizer, you have to synthesize ammonia, and the synthesis of ammonia is done under high temperature and high pressure conditions, which requires high-performance pressure-resistant pipes and tanks. Only the technology of submarine pressure-resistant hulls can be used in these manufacturing. Military use can be transformed into civilian use for the benefit of the people."

  This statement is more reliable than the one just now. Zhao Ling nodded. Synthetic ammonia does require such pressure-resistant tanks and pipes, and this bending machine can do other jobs.

   "Boss Qin, if we want to manufacture submarines by ourselves, can we produce the corresponding steel?" Mahmoud continued to ask.

  Even if there is a plate rolling machine, it does not mean that there is no need to import anything, and the steel needed for the submarine must also be imported.

"Do you want a production line for high-performance steel? This investment is even greater." Qin Tao said: "In order to develop advanced marine steel, our steel plant under Mingzhou Group has invested more than two billion yuan in research and development alone to transform the production line. It took another billion, are you really planning to produce it yourself?"

A few words persuaded the other party to quit. If you want this kind of steel, you have to introduce a production line, and part of the research and development funds have to be used as technology patent fees. If you can’t afford two or three billion, the old bus’s annual defense expenditure is only How much?

   Mahmoud also felt that he was a little presumptuous just now, why did he just make such an unrealistic request? This is simply impossible!

  This kind of high-strength steel is a secret of all countries. Countries in the world that are capable of developing this kind of steel keep their secrets tightly. Who is willing to export it? Now, Mingzhou Group's willingness to sell is enough for friends, and this money must not be saved.

   So, let's import it.

   I have to change the subject quickly.

   "Boss Qin, did you use pump-jet propulsion on this submarine?"

   "That's right, our pump-jet propulsion has matured. The products exported to you can completely use the pump-jet propeller. It is more efficient and safer to use." Qin Tao continued to introduce.

   Time flies, the sun has slipped to the west, and the busy day of work is over again!

  Near the shipyard, Mayday Bar.

   "The workers in the shipyard haven't come out recently, so the business of your bar is also affected?" A man in a suit was sitting on the bar counter, and he said to the bartender who was wiping his glass while drinking.

   "Yes, the sales have dropped a lot in the past few days, but the boss can hold on, but the old men inside can't hold on. They will definitely find a way to come out and drink." The bartender said.

  Because the Mingzhou Group employs a large number of Lao Maozi workers, the locals have long been used to seeing Lao Maozi, and even have a better understanding of Lao Maozi's habits. These Lao Maozi can't live without wine for three days.

   Just as he was talking, an old man walked in. He was wearing the work clothes of the shipyard, and his body was dirty, especially the trouser legs were scratched. Could it be that he came out of the wall?

   "Come on, Zdrasvi, Alexander!" The bartender knew the old man and greeted him.

   "Have a glass of vodka!" Alexander said.

   "Two cups, both will be charged to my account." The man in the suit said, "Alexander, I'll buy you a drink!"

   "Why?" Alexander rolled his eyes at him: "If you want to get information about the shipyard from me, then forget it, and I will lose my job because of it."

   "No, no, how come? I just like to make friends." The man in the suit said.

   "Like making friends?" Alexander glanced at him: "Do you really want to make friends with me?"

"certainly."

   "Okay, six glasses of vodka!" Alexander said to the bartender.

   Six cups? What are you doing?

  The man in the suit watched in surprise as the bartender poured six glasses, with a complex expression on his face, as if he was looking forward to it, but also seemed to be controlling his own laughter.

   "Come on, let's have three glasses each, and we'll be good friends after drinking it." Alexander said as he picked up the vodka and poured it directly into his stomach.

  The man in the suit was startled, but he had no other choice. He could only pick up the first cup, imitating Alexander, and poured it into his stomach in one breath. He felt a burning sensation, and his entire stomach was burning.

  However, when he put down the first cup, the opposite party had already finished three cups!

  So, he could only pick up the second cup and continue to drink it with his head up. However, after drinking half of it, his stomach was churning for a while. He couldn't control it anymore, and ran towards the bathroom.

  Alexander glanced at this man's back with contempt. What kind of friends do you want to make? You can't even drink alcohol. Still want to make friends?

  Alexander picked up the remaining glass of wine and planned to continue drinking. At this moment, someone sat beside him: "Here are six glasses of vodka, and this friend and I each have three glasses!"

  The speaking voice is actually a woman?

  Alexander looked over, with a fair face and a tall and well-proportioned figure, this is actually a western hot girl, why did she come here?

   "What? Did you drink a few drinks in advance, afraid that I would take advantage?"

   "No, I'm afraid that if you're drunk, I have to give you a room."

   "How is that possible, don't underestimate me." At this time, the wine glass was already placed in front of her, and the woman drank one after another, just like him just now, pouring all three glasses into her stomach.

   "Okay, let's drink then!"

   In a blink of an eye, three bottles of wine were drunk.

   "What are you doing in there?"

   "Shipbuilding."

   "What ship? Carrier or submarine?"

   "This can't be said, it's a secret."

   "Hmph, don't say it if you don't say it, anyway, your technology there is not advanced."

"Why isn't it advanced? The steel we use now has a yield strength of 1500 MPa, which can allow a submarine to dive to a depth of 600 meters! The world's first, even the United States can't do it!" The man began to talk through alcohol Get up: "And, more importantly, our steel has very good welding performance, and it can be directly welded without preheating, which is the only one in the world!"

"I do not believe."

   "Of course you don't believe it. You are a woman, how do you know this?"

"What's wrong with women? I'm a woman and I can drink, and I can understand these things. We women can do what you men can do. For example, the pump jet propulsion is the most advanced submarine driving device in the world. I guess you Definitely haven't seen it."

"Why haven't I seen it? I have installed it myself, and it has a motor inside! The motor is directly integrated into the pump-jet propeller! It is the only one in the world! What kind of seven-blade big side slope, nine-blade big side **** , has long been outdated!"

"What? Stop talking?" Alexander wanted to continue to show off, but found that the woman's eyes were looking at the wall, where there was an LCD TV, which is a high-end existence in this era, and it was only hung up during the renovation last year. Yes, the thin and light shape is amazing, and the rear projection and the like have long been outdated.

  This TV usually shows the sports channel of CCTV 5. People who drink like to watch football games or something, but at this time, it happens to be the news broadcast.

  International news is being broadcast inside.

   "Just today, Ah San detonated two mushroom bombs in a row..."

  Mingzhou Group Guest House, Banquet Hall.

Qin Tao held a banquet here to entertain the old bus and his party. The atmosphere was very harmonious. Two state-of-the-art LCD TVs were installed on the front of the banquet hall as decorations. Since BOE introduced the LCD production technology, it has been outstanding. Of course By the way, such a large-screen LCD TV is also quite expensive, and it is not affordable for ordinary people. Mingzhou Group also uses these TVs to show its strength.

  There is no sound on the TV, only images, so as not to disturb the guest's pleasure. Zhao Ling casually raised her head to glance at the screen, and was attracted.

   "Quickly, turn up the volume and show this news to everyone!"

  The atmosphere in the banquet hall suddenly cooled down.

  The old buses all clenched their fists. Of course they knew what this meant. Now, they can't wait to bring back the most advanced submarine immediately. They want to protect their motherland, and they must be ready to fight at any time!

   "Can it be replayed?" Mahmoud asked.

   "Of course." Zhao Ling replied, and then instructed someone to play it again.

   This is just a piece of international news that is less than a minute long. However, everyone watched it over and over again, and played it five times. When everyone could memorize the content of the news, they finally stopped.

   "Mr. Qin, can we learn more about the submarine-launched cruise missile you mentioned?" Mahmoud asked Qin Tao.

   "Well, this submarine-launched cruise missile is still under development for the time being, and the performance parameters have not yet been determined." Qin Tao said.

At present, the club missile has been obtained from Lao Maozi. On the basis of this missile, the country combines its own products to develop advanced anti-ship missiles. It can also be used in ground attacks. It is indeed under development. It's not that Qin Tao is deliberately perfunctory.

   "President Qin, if we exchange the wreckage of a few Tomahawk missiles, can you learn more about this submarine-launched cruise missile?"

  Wreckage of a Tomahawk missile? Qin Tao was overjoyed immediately: "Do you have such a good thing? If so, maybe we can jointly develop a cruise missile, which can not only be launched from submarines, but also be used on land or even in the air." !"

  BGM-109 cruise missile was formally pre-researched by General Dynamics in 1970 after the U.S. Army learned the lessons of the Vietnam War. Its development began in May 1972. It was first tested in 1976 and put into service in 1983. In the long history, a total of 22 models have been developed before and after, and the models are different. For example, BGM-109 is a land-launched type, AGM-109 is a ship-launched type, etc., but they are generally referred to as BGM-109, nicknamed Tomahawk.

  The Tomahawk cruise missile is definitely one of the most eye-catching weapons of this era. Every time the Americans start a war, this kind of cruise missile is indispensable. It is a leading weapon. Every time a war breaks out, dozens or hundreds of Tomahawk cruise missiles become the first wave of attack weapons, flying towards the most important targets of the enemy: power stations, radar stations, barracks, oil depots, etc. After these Tomahawks are hit, Air Force planes can sit back and relax and fly into the enemy's volley.

But ballistic missiles are rarely seen. This is firstly because of the agreement between the United States and the Soviet Union. The medium and short-range ballistic missiles have been destroyed. Second, compared with ballistic missiles, cruise missiles attack more stealthily. They can fly to the target at ultra-low altitude. Until the explosion, the target may not be able to react.

The old bus also has ballistic missiles on hand, but the old bus does not have nuclear submarines on hand, so it is impossible to produce strategic nuclear submarines. Secondly, if AIP submarines can be equipped with submarine-launched cruise missiles, then they can have the power of underwater secondary nuclear counterattacks!

   For this reason, they are willing to show more sincerity, for example, the wreckage of the Tomahawk missile!

It is said to be a wreck, but it is actually quite complete. In order to eliminate the evil forces in the imperial cemetery, the strategic focus of the Americans began to shift from the oil area to the imperial cemetery. When eliminating the evil forces, they also used the tomahawk missile.

As long as it is a machine, there are always times when it fails. A few missiles disappear unexpectedly, and the Americans can accept it. What they don't know is that the old bus fell off shortly after discovering that the missiles flew out, and secretly put them away. The missile was found and then hidden.

  Old Ba could not complete the surveying and imitation of this cruise missile with his own technology, and could only share it with Dongfang. However, this matter has not been promoted yet, but now, they can't wait.

   Over the years, Qin Tao has been helping the development of the military industry of the motherland. Starting from the 022 missile boat, now there is everything in the country, and the construction of the aircraft carrier has also begun. However, he really has not dabbled in cruise missiles.

   During a meeting at the Aerospace Academy a few years ago, the veteran expert asked Qin Tao if he could get the Tomahawk missile to help speed up the development of the cruise missile he was developing, but Qin Tao shook his head helplessly.

No matter what the old man wants in his arsenal, he has a solution, but the American arsenal is different. Qin Tao has made a decision long ago. He and the people around him will never step into the territory of the United States in this life. , and the dog-legged countries like Maple Leaf Country and Australia, he doesn't want anything to happen.

  Now, finally have this chance!

  Now that you have a Tomahawk, why not come together and jointly develop it!

  This proposal, Mahmoud could not answer immediately, and was still hesitating, Qin Tao continued to ask excitedly: "How far did the wreck fall? Is the engine intact?"

  For a cruise missile, the guidance technology is very important, and it needs the combination of terrain matching, inertial navigation and satellite positioning system. These are nothing, and they can be solved domestically, especially the Beidou sky, and the last weakness is about to be solved.

  What is the most lacking in the country? Still an engine!

Whether it is a high-thrust engine or a small-thrust engine, there is a shortage in China. The special small engines are used for cruise missiles. At present, all turbojet engines are used in China. The fuel consumption is relatively high. Turbofan engines are specially used for cruise missiles. It has not been developed.

The Tomahawk uses the most advanced F107 engine in the United States. It is a small-thrust turbofan engine specially developed by Williams Corporation of the United States for cruise missiles. It is not only used in the Tomahawk, but also in AGM86C and AGM129. , Rasmus and a large number of missiles, it can be said that as long as there is a missile that needs a turbofan engine, it is almost it!

  The only exception is drones, because the defect of this engine is that it only has a life span of 50 hours, which is more than enough for missiles, but drones that need to be used repeatedly are tasteless.

  The size of the F107 turbofan engine is very small: the length is only 1.26 meters, and the weight is only 66.2 kg. But it can provide 272 kg of thrust. Although it is also a turbofan engine, because it is small, many things are specially made, especially the fuel supply system, which reflects the designer's brain hole: the fuel flows in from the hollow drive shaft, and then from the high-pressure compressor drive shaft The last rotatable oil flinger is sprayed into the annular combustion chamber.

Its fuel consumption is very low. For example, when cruising at an altitude of 9,000 meters, its fuel consumption is only about 0.61kg/daN/h. This unit means that the fuel required to provide 1 kg of thrust every hour lasts, and then multiplied by the thrust, you can It can be concluded that the fuel consumption per hour is only 165 kilograms. Therefore, despite the fact that the Tomahawk is only six meters long, it can fly 2,500 kilometers because of the low fuel consumption characteristics of this engine.

  For the time being, this kind of engine cannot be produced in China. It would be great if there is a reference. The key is the wreckage of the old bus, how far did it fall?

   "One of them fell into the mud, and the entire missile is almost intact." Mahmoud said.

   A good tomahawk! Qin Tao became even more excited: "That's great! We can cooperate completely. Your side will provide the sample bomb, we will provide the funds, and we will each send out some technicians to form a research and development team. After the research and development is completed, your side will also Can open a production line to produce this kind of cruise missile, what is your opinion?"

What I just said was joint research and development, but I didn't go into details, but now it has been refined. The old bus doesn't need to pay, as long as it provides samples. When the research and development is completed, they can also open a production line to produce it. This is for them. , are all benefits, there is no harm, so, can they not agree?

   "Okay, then we will jointly develop this missile." Mahmoud said, "I just don't know if it can be stuffed into the 039B submarine after it is developed?"

   "Of course, the size of the tomahawk is just right." Qin Tao said: "We also have the technology of submarine launch."

The length of the Tomahawk missile is about six meters, and the diameter is about 0.5 meters. It just fits into the 533mm launch tube of the submarine. The Tomahawk missile originally had a submarine-launched version. When developing the C801 submarine-launched missile, we have already mastered it. The technology of launching missiles underwater, so it can be used completely.

"Okay, in this case, then we plan to purchase eight submarines, four of which will be built here on your side and the other four will be built in our country. We also need to purchase equipment dedicated to the production of submarines." Mahmoud said: "We will This kind of submarine is called the Hangoer class. I hope it can carry the cruise missiles jointly developed by us, patrol the vast sea, and undertake the strategic nuclear counterattack missions we need at any time."

  Although they have not reported to their superiors yet, according to the original plan, they only purchased three ships, but now, the situation has changed. They must have a sufficient number of submarines to meet their operational needs, which is related to the country's strategic security!

   What's more, the price offered by Mingzhou Group is the most favorable. For the price of purchasing three submarines from France, they can purchase six submarines in the East! Coupled with the cost advantage brought by self-manufacturing, eight ships can be built.
