Nicholas considered his words: "Actually, we can also repair it ourselves, but the time and money spent will definitely be far from our expectations. Not only ourselves, but also people from France

Isn’t this also true for the warships ordered?”

This is almost a common practice. After receiving an order, no matter who it is, they all want to raise the price. If they don't raise the price, they will delay the construction period. However, there is only one exception!

"Over the years, we have repaired several warships from the East. Each one has been completed on time with guaranteed quality and quantity. Moreover, Mingzhou Group has never used any reason to increase the price after quoting the price. Their quote is the final price.

They will also complete the construction before the commitment period in accordance with the contract, whether it is renovation or new construction." Nikolai's tone was sincere: "Many people doubt my attitude and think that I have something to do with Mr. Qin, that's right.

, we are indeed good friends, this is not just a personal relationship, but also for our navy and our motherland!"

"In the past few years, our navy has continued to weaken, and warships have been decommissioned one after another, but no new warships have been added to the fleet. However, when we cooperated with the East, everything changed. We have put the powerful

The Type 1144 cruiser has been repaired and re-entered service. The total tonnage of our navy has almost doubled in recent years. All of this is the credit of Dongfang! Without Dongfang, our navy would not be as strong as it is!"

"Now, we have to repair the aircraft carrier. Everyone has various purposes and does not want to hand over the aircraft carrier to the East for repair. However, I can be sure that their purpose is not to make our navy strong, but to make money from the maintenance project.

Take more profits.”

Nikolai was very honest: "I did not insist on asking Dongfang to repair it, which would allow many people to find reasons to criticize me, but I still want to reiterate my point of view here and want to repair it in the shortest time and at the lowest cost.

As for aircraft carriers, Dongfang is the most suitable choice. Although the US$600 million they quoted sounds like a lot, it is only a total quotation and will not change. We can get a brand new aircraft carrier by spending US$600 million.

is worth it."

The boss nodded: "Yes, you are right. Now, if you want our aircraft carrier to be repaired as soon as possible, the best choice is the East! After the first amphibious assault ship is put into service, our aircraft carrier will be repaired as soon as possible.

Let the aircraft carrier move over and leave it to the Easterners for repairs."

"What about the maintenance funds?" Nicholas asked with concern.

"We will spend this money. Aircraft carriers are related to the development of our navy's strength, and the money that should be spent must still be spent."

"Yes." Nicholas was very happy, this time the deal was finally settled!

However, the repair will have to wait until the first amphibious assault ship is put into service. Will there be any problems in the process? It seems that Dongfang must seize the time and build the amphibious assault ship as soon as possible.

"Has your navy been looking forward to purchasing Dongfang's carrier-based aircraft?" the boss continued to ask.

"Yes, we think Dongfang's J-31A is the best choice, but we also know that the country has national difficulties. If the country cannot afford the money, we will not force it. We have carrier-based

We can make do with the armed helicopters first, and later, maybe we will have them ourselves."

The boss nodded and said nothing more.

East.

Qin Tao stood on the dock and looked at the giant ship under construction inside.

"The progress is going smoothly. We have installed two nuclear reactors, which also represents a phased achievement in the construction of the aircraft carrier." Makarov said: "We are currently stepping up our work to launch this aircraft carrier as soon as possible.

"

Makarov was full of excitement.

In later generations, when someone discovered the cylindrical stick hanging from the tail of the 003 aircraft carrier, they all became excited: This is lifting nuclear fuel rods, and our aircraft carrier is nuclear-powered!

In fact, this thing is not a fuel rod at all. The nuclear reactor of an aircraft carrier never needs to lift fuel rods. When the nuclear reactor is installed, the fuel rods are already inserted.

Only nuclear power plants on land need to be hoisted, because they use low-enrichment fuel rods, which may need to be replaced after one or two years of operation. Anyway, there is a lot of space, so you can do whatever you want. Aircraft carriers are different. Aircraft carriers need to replace fuel rods once.

, which requires major surgery to open the abdomen. A Nimitz-class aircraft carrier needs to spend a year or two in the dock to change its nuclear fuel. But now, the nuclear reactors used in the East use highly enriched nuclear fuel.

No replacement is required during the entire lifetime.

The nuclear reactor is inserted during construction, and there is no need to worry about it after that. Even the auxiliary engines are installed at this time. Even if it reaches the outfitting stage, it will be a waste of time to install it again. Only now is the most suitable time.

Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, we have achieved initial results. I really hope that this aircraft carrier can be completed as soon as possible."

"We will work hard."

"By the way, I just received news from Lao Maozi that they have officially decided to send the Kuznetsov to us for modification. Are you willing to serve as the chief modification engineer of this warship?"

Makarov's body suddenly trembled: "Da Mao wants to send the aircraft carrier here for modification?"

"Yes."

Makarov looked towards the north and murmured: "I never thought that I would be able to come into contact with this aircraft carrier in my lifetime. I can still clearly remember every cabin in it in my mind now.

I’m also looking forward to going up there and seeing this warship again.”

Of course Makarov is willing. For him, he has no regrets in this life. The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier has been built in his hands. Next, if the Kuznetsov can be modified inside and out,

If so, he is worth it, even if he dies on the job!

Makarov's eyes were full of expectation.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "When will this warship come?"

"When Lao Maozi's amphibious assault ship is completed and put into service, it seems that we have to speed up there."

It was built slowly in the past, but now it has to be accelerated to let them know the strength of the East.

In fact, if it weren't for the repeated twists and turns in the middle, Lao Maozi should be able to get France's Mistral-class amphibious assault ship by now.

At this moment, Xu Zhengyang came over.

"Mr. Qin, Mr. Ni is here."

"Well, I'll go back to the office right now."

In the No. 1 Design Office of the shipyard, all the computers have been updated and replaced with faster Loongson-5 processors. For designers, the stronger the computer's computing power, the better.

Mr. Ni led the team here. In addition to changing computers for everyone, he also came to see Mr. Qin. After all, I haven't seen Mr. Qin for a long time, so I took this opportunity to chat.

Now he is high-spirited. Although he is not young and has white hair, he is full of energy and still looks like a middle-aged man.

"Mr. Ni, thank you for your hard work." Qin Tao said, "It's just a replacement of a batch of computers, but you actually came here in person."

"Well, our design office has a lot of secrets, and we must have the most reliable people. Although we took away the computer, the original hard drive has been removed and hung on the new machine." Mr. Ni said: "Mr. Qin,

We also have special laptops here, and we have prepared one for you, take a look."

Qin Tao took over the laptop. It looked very compact. It was only 12 inches in size and could easily be stuffed into a briefcase. It was like a delicate handicraft.

"We have specially developed a low-power processor, paired with an advanced lithium-ion battery, so that the battery life of this laptop reaches 12 hours, which can fully meet the needs of business people for a day's use," said Mr. Ni.

: "Of course, the price of this special customized version will also be very expensive. We estimate it will sell for 30,000 yuan."

"Of course." Qin Tao nodded: "With the continuous development of computer technology, the market will definitely be segmented. This kind of laptop can fully meet the needs of business elites. Girls who pursue fashion will definitely also pursue it.

We need to satisfy the fans of electronic products so that they can follow them and make them a trend."

Are you full? Mr. Qin always has some fresh words popping up in his mouth. However, after a brief thought, it is easy to understand the meaning of these words. Mr. Ni nodded: "Understood, for the female market, we will also launch some brightly colored words."

s color."

Qin Tao said as he turned on the computer and entered the system in ten seconds. He took another look at the screen: "Yes, our LCD screen technology is also very powerful. This screen has full colors, delicate display, and the resolution should not be too high."

Low."

"Yes, this is a high-definition LCD screen produced by BOE on a trial basis, and it also has a touch function."

Computers are not just computers, but also a trend, a high-tech digital product!

Qin Tao tried switching, and then was very satisfied: "Yes, this computer will come out in pink, and I will send it to Secretary Zhao."

"No problem at all."

"By the way, among computer components now, is the most expensive component the processor?"

Mr. Ni shook his head: "It's not the processor. The most expensive component now is the memory."

"Memory?" Qin Tao raised his head curiously: "Have the technical specifications been upgraded?"

Most people are familiar with the word memory. When buying a mobile phone, the first question is how big the memory is and whether it will be full in a few months. In fact, the name of memory here is not accurate. It should be called external memory more appropriately. After all, this

The storage will still retain information even if the power is turned off.

Memory is used to store data while the processor is running. The processor can be mobilized at any time when needed. The speed of this memory must be fast enough to keep up with the frequency of the processor. Otherwise, time will be wasted and the system will freeze.

pause.

When microcomputers first appeared, the memory was just pieces of chips, plugged directly into the motherboard, with no room for upgrades. Later, the memory was made into strips and became memory sticks. Many users will feel that in other hardware

Under the same conditions, just upgrading the memory module can make the computer's computing speed faster.

The price of memory sticks also fluctuates.

The laws of economics tell us that prices fluctuate around value. This is the most basic law. When prices are low, manufacturers will reduce production and the number of products on the market will decrease. In this way, prices will slowly increase. The economy operates according to this law.

.

But when it comes to memory sticks, this rule is inappropriate because there is a group of spoilers. When supply exceeds demand, they continue to produce memory chips. The more they lose money, the more they produce. Anyway, they can ask the state to give them subsidies.

, however, other competing manufacturers cannot hold on and can only go bankrupt and close down. When the competing manufacturers disappear, the disruptors who have gained a monopoly position can raise prices to sky-high prices and make back the money they lose.

These disruptors are the electronics factories of South Kimchi Country.

Once, after Loongson Company developed the processor, the memory production capacity was insufficient and it needed to be matched with external memory sticks. As a result, the price of memory sticks rose from a few hundred yuan to more than a thousand. Under Qin Tao's instruction, Loongson Company processed

The processors began to match the new DDR memory sticks. They proposed this new industry standard and left other memory stick manufacturers behind. Only then could they maintain profits. Otherwise, all the money earned on the processors would be lost to the memory sticks.

The manufacturer made a profit.
