MTL - Warship of Great Power-Chapter 712 Sell five Peace Dove II
Looking at the intact Tomahawk missile, Liu Yong felt his breathing became short of breath.
Is this wreckage? This is clearly a complete missile! I really didn't expect that the old bus would have such luck to bring over the intact missiles!
Liu Yong also moved quickly. After discussing properly with Qin Tao, he rushed back to the Third Academy of Aerospace Sciences and selected a hundred people with the best skills and the most experience from his own staff. They just arrived and settled down. Also came over.
At this time, they gathered in the research and development building specially prepared for them, watching the wooden box being disassembled and seeing the Tomahawk missile inside, they were all very excited.
With such a prototype in front of us, we will be able to successfully imitate the Tomahawk missile!
"Mr. Qin, this is the best-preserved one of them." Mahmoud, who came over again, said to Qin Tao: "We hope that these missile wreckages can guide us in the direction we are going, and let us complete the imitation of this missile. We The country has decided to name the self-developed cruise missile the Babur missile, and we hope to set an example of cooperation like the Xiaolong fighter project.”
"Of course there is no problem. Let me introduce you. This is our manager, Mr. Liu. He came from the aerospace department. He has advanced missile design capabilities. With his leadership, he will be able to understand the technology of this missile as soon as possible. As for For the guidance system of the missile, in addition to GPS, we can also add a Beidou navigation receiving terminal, which will allow you to hit the target more easily."
Hearing what Qin Tao said, Mahmoud thought for a while, then nodded: "Yes, we do need more guidance methods. Has your Beidou navigation system been debugged yet?"
"Yes." Qin Tao nodded: "The debugging has indeed been completed. It will be used normally soon. In terms of satellite navigation, we must have an independent system to avoid being controlled by others."
Mahmoud is also deeply touched by this. In the previous wars, they were once troubled by the arms embargo imposed by the West. Now, of course they cannot see this happening. The East is their best Friends, with the Eastern system, they can avoid many unexpected troubles.
"Okay, then we will use your system." Mahmoud said, "I just don't know, can this missile be mounted on our existing fighter planes?"
Qin Tao shook his head: "The cruise missile is a big guy. Your existing Xiaolong fighter can't be mounted, and the F-16 fighter in your hand, we don't have the fire control code, and we can't modify the fire control program, so , for your side, the best way at present is land-based and sea-based deployment, as for air-based deployment, it is currently difficult. After all, in our country, bombers are also used to carry cruise missiles."
Cruise missiles are six meters long and heavy. It is difficult for ordinary fighter jets to mount them. Even if Xiaolong's small body can be mounted, then one has to be mounted on the left and right to maintain balance. It is no problem if it is launched at the same time in the air, but if only one is launched, the weight on both sides of the wing will be unbalanced. I'm afraid it will cause headaches for pilots and aircraft designers.
The domestically produced H-6 is the best mounting platform. Its huge self-weight can completely withstand the imbalance between the two sides. The domestic H-6 has transformed into a professional cruise missile carrier and can serve for decades.
But the old bus didn’t!
"Yeah, our fighter planes are too light to launch such weapons in the air." Mahmoud murmured, "Even the United States uses B-52 bombers as cruise missile carriers, and they don't have We are too naive to mount it directly with ordinary fighter jets.”
Even if they can purchase bombers, once the war comes, the base where the bombers are deployed will be bombed by the enemy immediately. After all, the enemy already has powerful ballistic missiles, and the strategic depth of the old bus is too shallow.
At this moment, there was a rumbling sound in the open space in front of the R&D building, and a big guy was dragged past it.
Since the Shuangyang Factory manufactures aircraft, the open space between the factory buildings is very wide, and no trees are planted, leaving enough width to facilitate the scheduling of various aircraft. Now, it is just for the ground effect aircraft. opportunity to show.
If you directly sell it to Lao Ba, Lao Ba may not necessarily want it. If you want to sell it, you have to find a way, for example, to make Lao Ba tempted.
At this time, this big guy was being towed by a trailer without an exhaust pipe, and the noise was so loud that others couldn't pay attention even if they didn't want to. After taking a look, he immediately opened his mouth wide in surprise.
"What kind of weapon is this?"
From below, it looks like a boat with a ship-shaped belly, but from the middle, it looks like an airplane, with a fuselage and wings. If you look at the top again, it looks like a missile speedboat again, with a sloping launcher on its top, which looks like a powerful missile at first glance.
Now, there are wheels under it, and it looks like a car again.
What the **** is this monster? neither fish nor fowl?
Everyone is very curious.
"Oh, this is the Peace Dove No. 2 we are testing, it was born for the peace of the human world." Qin Tao said.
Hearing what he said, all the Chinese people present wanted to laugh. Mr. Qin is so funny. A weapon with powerful attack power is actually for the peace of mankind. However, if you think about it, there is nothing wrong with it. After gaining a powerful attack capability, others will weigh in, whether rashly provoking a war will not be worth the loss, and when they have concerns, the war may not proceed.
Mahmoud didn't care about these words. He stared fixedly at this strangely shaped equipment: "Can it fly? How far can it fly? How many missiles can it hold?"
"Yes, this is the ground-effect aircraft we developed. Of course it can fly. It is usually deployed next to a secret pier. It can take off at any time if necessary. Of course, it has certain requirements for sea conditions. If the waves break It would be a tragedy if it got on its wings, but apart from tropical storms, it seems that the weather conditions on your side have always been good.” Qin Tao knew that the old buses were tempted, so he continued to introduce.
The take-off and landing of ground-effect aircraft has requirements on sea conditions, which is the only flaw. However, when there is a tropical storm, ordinary ships cannot go to sea. Moreover, these ground-effect aircraft can also be arranged in rivers, and they do not necessarily have to be in the sea. Take off and land at sea.
However, once it flies, it will be against the sky.
"Its take-off weight is a full two hundred tons. According to our settings, it must be equipped with a large amount of fuel in its load, so that it can have a range of more than five thousand kilometers. For you, it is enough to bypass The South Asian subcontinent has appeared to the east of Asan. Moreover, it is not only an aircraft, but also a ship. After you fly over, it can even land in the sea and float on the sea. It has various living cabins, which can be kept for a long time. Strong working condition.”
Mahmoud took a deep breath.
If it is an airplane, the mission is very timely, but the time to perform the mission is very short. If you fly over, you have to fly back after firing the missile. After all, the fuel of the airplane has to be consumed all the time. Moreover, the space on the airplane is limited, and the living area very narrow.
The ship is different. The ship can float on the sea, even if it runs out of oil, it can continue to stay, but the speed of the ship is slow.
The equipment in front of me combines the advantages of a ship and an airplane. It looks like a seaplane. However, who has seen a seaplane with a take-off weight of 200 tons? Even if it is a normal transport aircraft, there are not many models whose take-off weight can exceed 200 tons.
The big guy in front of him is really amazing, it's almost as if it was tailor-made for the old bus.
Old Ba is really tempted.
"As for its weapons, we plan to install C802 anti-ship missiles on the export version, but if you want, we can also install this cruise missile that is under development, I think, Asanna It would never have occurred to me that there would be cruise missiles coming from the east."
If you want to hit cruise missiles, you must first discover them first.
Even if Ah San has an AWACS, it must be deployed on the western border first. As for the Falcon AWACS that has been touched by the radome, let's see if they have the ability to find these problems. Maybe they will have to work hard for a few years before they can. Know. In short, both the early warning aircraft and the ground air defense force must be deployed in the west. In Ah San's eyes, the east is absolutely safe, and then they were attacked. Thinking about this scene, it is exciting enough.
"Boss Qin, how much is this equipment?" Mahmoud asked.
It seems that he is really tempted, and Qin Tao's deception is still very effective.
"This is a brand new weaponry that combines all the advantages of ships and aircraft. If it is purchased by other customers, the unit price will be at least more than 100 million U.S. dollars." Qin Tao said.
As the Yankees continue to print dollars to harvest the wealth of the world, dollars are becoming less and less valuable. When Mingzhou Group built an aircraft carrier for Siam a few years ago, the cost of a 10,000-ton aircraft carrier could be controlled at about 100 million , But now, a 054 frigate costs 100 million U.S. dollars, and it is absolutely impossible for an aircraft carrier to be built for 100 million U.S. dollars.
The price of 100 million US dollars is absolutely unbearable for Lao Ba.
"However, for our friends, we have always had the best price." Qin Tao continued: "If we don't include the missiles on it, we only sell such ground-effect aircraft, and we can quote 35 million US dollars. The unit price of one. Of course, this price is limited, you can only buy ten at most, if there are more, the price will have to increase.”
If it is reduced to 35 million, it will be worth it. After all, an ordinary single-engine fighter now costs 10 to 20 million, and the price of a twin-engine fighter is even 30 to 50 million. A large ground-effect aircraft uses four engines, how much does it cost just to count these four engines?
It can be said that 35 million is the cost price! Dongfang has always treated them as a true friend!
"Boss Qin, can we go up and have a look?" Mahmoud asked.
Even if he is really tempted, it is impossible to place an order just relying on Qin Tao's few words, he has to go up and have a look.
"Of course." Qin Tao said: "All our weapons and equipment are open to you. What we have, you can have. Let's go, I will take you to see. Hey, stop immediately People outside, don't go!"
The roar of the engine disappeared, the trailer turned off, and the huge ground-effect aircraft was about to turn around at the intersection ahead.
A group of veterans rushed towards the aircraft enthusiastically, with excited expressions on their faces. They looked at the hatch turned down in the middle of the ground effect aircraft, and they were full of interest in this mixture of aircraft and ships.
After going up, you enter the living cabin. You can see that there are comfortable beds, a table for eating, and everyone has ample space for activities. It is so spacious that it is definitely not what the plane can fit.
"Our ground-effect aircraft also has a mode of transporting people." Qin Tao started the flickering mode. This idea was just a brainstorm, but there is no technical difficulty: "If all these devices are removed, install our transport aircraft If the personnel used are small Maza, it can carry two to three hundred people, and these personnel can be transported to the place where they need to go at any time, and it is no problem to carry out special operations."
This is just an idea. When the personnel go up, whether they will be counter-killed without heavy equipment is not within his consideration.
Mahmoud nodded, and was also very interested in his idea.
"Everyone continue to move forward, the front is the work cabin, there is a dedicated missile crew operation cabin, and there is also a cockpit."
At this time, Alexeyeva had already come out from the front, and it was the first time she appeared in front of the old bus. Seeing such a blond foreigner, the old buses were all surprised.
"Everyone, let me introduce you. This is the designer of our Peace Dove No. 2, Ms. Alexieva." Qin Tao introduced to everyone that if the old bus wants to purchase this kind of equipment, it must be with him. What designers have repeatedly communicated with, Alexeyeva must always be shown in front of them, and there are more benefits to such a generous introduction.
Sure enough, upon hearing this name, the old buses thought deeply, and one of them said, "Excuse me, do you have any relationship with Alexeyev?"
"He is my father, but it's a pity that I haven't seen the ground effect aircraft today." Alexeyeva said.
Lao Maozi's most famous ground-effect aircraft designer's daughter! With her research and development, this ground effect aircraft is of course the most mature, and there will never be any problems in performance! Everyone sighed for a while, Mr. Qin is too powerful, and all kinds of outstanding talents of old Maozi finally came to Mr. Qin.
"Everyone, please continue to visit." Alexeyeva said.
When they got to the missile operating bay, all they saw was a big hole in the workbench.
"Because this Peace Dove II is just a verification machine, and the weapon operating system has not been installed yet, but various interfaces have been reserved, and everyone continues to move forward." Alexieva said.
When these people came to the front cockpit, they were shocked again.
Glass cockpit, the most advanced glass cockpit design!
It adopts a two-person driving system, just like a large passenger plane. The cockpit also uses the joystick, and the two pilots are in the position. On the front panel, there is no longer any mechanical instrument, all of which are LCD Display!
Now, glass cockpits have just become popular on fighter jets, and many passenger planes use ordinary mechanical instruments. The ground-effect aircraft in front of us actually uses a glass cockpit made of tall LCD screens. It’s tall! .
In addition to the more intuitive display, there is another question they have to consider: What does this glass cockpit mean? It has used the first-class avionics connected in series by the modern 1553B data bus!
"For ground-effect aircraft, take-off and landing are the most difficult and dangerous. Therefore, we have mastered a large amount of data through a large number of take-off and landing experiments. Based on these data, we have developed a special flight control system. The program can be fully automatically controlled during the take-off and landing phase. Specifically, it can be completely unmanned just like the take-off and landing of a vertical take-off and landing fighter jet. It can also predict various possible dangers at any time, and then launch emergency operations to avoid them. risk." Alexieva said: "Of course, as for normal flight, it can also be unmanned. It can be said that as long as the destination is set, it can fly autonomously."
In fact, this is the same as modern civil aviation airliners. They can fly autonomously, but passengers definitely don’t want no one in the cockpit. If the flight attendant opens the cockpit door to enter and exit, the person in the front row finds that there is no pilot. , the passengers will definitely be confused.
The role of the pilot is to take over the aircraft when needed. After all, no matter how smart a machine is, it is still a machine. It can only perform calculations based on various judgments, but what about humans? Humans have intuition, and they can ignore everything without even thinking about it, and just follow their intuition. The intuition of a well-trained pilot is generally the best solution to deal with accidents.
"Isn't this too advanced?" Mahmoud said: "In other words, if we purchase this ground-effect aircraft, the pilot can fly this powerful ground-effect aircraft with simple training?"
"Sailors are fine too." Qin Tao added with a smile.
The advanced nature of this ground-effect aircraft completely shocked the people present. When they got down from the top, they were still feeling that this kind of equipment was the only one in the world.
Looking at the huge body, Mahmoud finally made up his mind: "Mr. Qin, can we buy two for trial first?"
"Of course, the first batch can go at the price I said. If it is the second batch, the price will probably need to be increased."
"Then let's buy five first!" Mahmoud decided to go all out, ten is too expensive, five is still sure.
"Well, the delivery date is a bit long, but when our cruise missile is successfully imitated, you will definitely be able to get this ground-effect aircraft, and you will have an additional cruise missile carrier."
"Well, we are looking forward to it!" Mahmoud nodded.
Anyway, before the cruise missile was successful, it was useless for them to ask for this kind of thing. They worked together to make a good meal.
Alekseeva also breathed a sigh of relief. The order of five Peace Dove II is enough for them to obtain sufficient research and development funds. Now they have to hurry up and perfect this aircraft as soon as possible, especially the engine!
This is just a verbal promise from Mahmoud. He still needs to go back and report to his superiors, and he still needs to go through the process. However, looking at the light in the eyes of these old men, you should know that this old man must be tempted, and they should not regret it. Otherwise, if you want to order in the future, the price will be expensive.
With excitement on his face, Mahmoud continued to go in, and found that the people inside had eagerly disassembled the missile, revealing the complete engine behind it.
For domestic cruise missiles and other long-range missiles, this engine prototype is of great significance!
Our side must complete the imitation of this engine as soon as possible to provide qualified power for domestic missiles!
However, Qin Tao thought of something and looked at the warhead.
"Is its guidance system intact?"
"Yes, it is also intact." Liu Yong nodded. Although the warhead has not been disassembled, a basic judgment can be made based on the appearance. The warhead should be nothing serious.
"Is it possible for us to study the technology of the warhead, and then develop a special jamming device to deal with it?"
Jamming device?
Liu Yong thought for a while: "This missile uses a comprehensive guidance method of inertial guidance, terrain matching, and satellite positioning. It is not easy to interfere with it."
If it is a radio-guided missile, it is easy to interfere. After all, it needs to receive signals from the outside. However, this kind of missile can work even if there is no external signal.
Of course, interference is still possible.
"The accuracy of inertial guidance alone is not high enough. If the terrain is matched, it needs to emit electromagnetic waves for terrain mapping, and satellite positioning also needs to receive satellite signals. If we want to interfere, we can only find ways from these perspectives." Liu Yong. He continued: "However, you should also know that the effect of this kind of interference will not be very good, it is only a few hundred meters away at most."
"A few hundred meters is enough, I hope we can research it as soon as possible." Qin Tao said.
Cruise missiles can wait, but this kind of interference method cannot wait. This year is already 1998, and there is still a year at most!
Liu Yong doesn't know why Qin Tao is so urgent, but since Qin Tao has already said it, he must pay attention to it.
The bosses don’t care, it doesn’t matter to interfere with this kind of missile. In the process of jamming, it is also possible to study how to prevent it from being jammed, so that the missiles jointly developed by our own side can better shield interference and improve reliability.
The development of Laoba's Babur cruise missile and the domestically produced Longsword cruise missile has entered the fast lane. The speed is so fast that even Laoba can't believe it. This is of course the reason why the country has technical reserves in advance.
