"Dear leaders, our 051c destroyer has completed all the designs."

Twenty days later, Qin Tao came to Huanglou with a complete set of design drawings to report to the naval leaders.

This project is almost certain. Now, it is just a routine report. After these leaders agree, the construction will be officially started.

"In terms of appearance design, it is not much different from my original design drawings. We will use the design plan of double decks, forecastles, sub-masts, and hangars. Of course, the hangar does not currently have it. We have transformed it into a space for a vertical missile launch device." Qin Tao took out the detailed design drawings and introduced them to everyone.

"We have appropriately collected the entire superstructure, in order to reflect the radar waves into the sky, but it is not collected thoroughly. After all, there is no need to pay attention to perfect stealth ability now." Qin Tao said in a sensation: "The displacement of the entire warship has been determined to be 7,100 tons. The service of this warship will also become the largest warship in our navy."

The 051 type is only more than 3,000 tons, and the 052 type is only more than 4,000 tons. Now the 051c has a displacement of 7,000 tons, and it is definitely the largest destroyer in the navy.

"The entire warship is arranged around the air defense missile system. After all, once the missile is inserted to the end, it is so long. Even if we want to reduce the displacement, we have no choice. In terms of speed, we think it can still reach thirty knots."

A famous leader was listening to Qin Tao's report carefully. It took Qin Tao a full two hours to finish the project report. When he sat down to drink water, he found that all the leaders were staring at the sub-mast of his warship.

The mast is tilted up, for stealth considerations. On the top of the secondary mast, two inclined back-to-back flat radars are placed, which are the top radars represented by the Russians.

"Mr. Qin, we don't have this kind of radar at hand yet. Are you a little too bold to design it?"

Finally, a leader spoke.

"Dear leaders, since we can import the S-300 system, we can also import this kind of radar equipment. Its performance is good and will definitely become the main sea search radar of our navy in the future." Qin Tao said: "And it will take some time for our design drawings to pass. The navy will allocate funds to build it, and it may take some time for us to buy this radar by the time we start construction."

"Now, you designed it casually without information?"

"Of course not. Although we have not obtained detailed information, we have studied the international public information many times, so we are sure that we will never make any omissions."

What other problems can happen to this thing? Qin Tao is very familiar with the performance of these weapon systems. If installed, there will definitely be no problems such as electromagnetic compatibility.

"Did you design it after researching it using international public information?"

"Yes."

Qin Tao can't say that everything is in his mind, right?

"Mr. Qin, we have another task that we want to hand it over to you." A leader spoke.

Qin Tao straightened his chest: "Please ensure that the task is completed."

"You should also know that we had just negotiated the export intention of the F-25t with the Siam a few months ago." A leader said: "It is very difficult for us to defeat competitors from several other countries. Now we have entered the design stage of warships, but the United States has begun to make things difficult for us to not provide us with any weapon parameters, making our design difficult."

Siam is a country located in southern China. It has always had good relations with itself and is a traditional exporter of the motherland's weapons. However, in the market economy, it also depends on competition.

The motherland was able to obtain weapons orders from Siam, not only traditional friendship, but also a lot lower than other countries in terms of quotations. After all, Siam was not a wealthy country.

However, after all, Siam is still looking forward to the weapons ordered from China that can have excellent performance. Therefore, Siam wants to purchase Chinese warships, but also wants to install a large number of Western weapons on this warship.

This will lead to a problem: the West will never send these weapons to China and load them on the warships of Siam.

Such a project involving the interests of the three parties has evolved into a unique model: China is responsible for building the hull. After passing the test, it drives back to Siam to install the US weapon system, and finally completes the assembly in Siam.

This not only prevents China from contacting Western weapons, but also allows Siam warships to obtain Western weapons and equipment.

However, the hull made in China must reserve space, right? Even the size of this reserved space is not given by the West. In this way, the design work is difficult to carry out.

Now, all leaders have seen hope from Qin Tao: the warship designed by Qin Tao has reserved the weapons system of the Russians. So, can he complete the warship design of the warship that reserved the Western weapons system?

Heard that it was this task, Qin Tao smiled and said, "Of course this is fine, but we need a design fee of 5 million."

Qin Tao agreed confidently, which made the leaders present very satisfied. However, when he heard Qin Tao speak loudly, all the leaders showed embarrassing expressions. You have to do too much, right? Just designing it will cost five million. Even if our ship design institute is now starting to operate on the market, the 051b designed for Zhongjiang Shipyard is only one million!

"If I heard it correctly, it seems that the total value of this contract with Siam has exceeded 100 million yuan, or US dollars." Qin Tao said: "Now, it's stuck in the relevant design. Are you still unwilling to pay a design fee of 5 million yuan? The saying that knowledge is wealth is just empty talk?"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! These leaders are still too conservative, only considering the interests of the relevant shipyards and not thinking about the Mingzhou shipyard. Do they think that Mingzhou shipyard should provide free services?

Of course, Qin Tao has to argue with reason.

"If the relevant shipyards are unwilling to pay the money, then we can talk directly with the Siam country. Not only design, but even construction can be carried out in our shipyard." Qin Tao said.

Qin Tao's words made the leaders present complicated expressions on their faces. Qin Tao must be wiped out from the bottom of the pot.

"I think President Qin's statement makes sense. They developed in the market economy and cannot be viewed with the previous thinking. Since they want to help with design, they will have to pay the relevant design fee." Wu Shengli said: "Five million seems to be a huge sum of money in our eyes, but knowledge is wealth. In this era, we must pay attention to the power of knowledge. Compared with the entire order, five million is not expensive. Of course, what we said does not count. We can convey Mr. Qin's request to the Central China Shipyard and hand over the final choice to them."

This arms sale has nothing to do with the Navy, and the Navy is just helping with it. The one who really agreed on the intention was the Huazhong Shipyard, also located in Huating. Now, whether to spend five million to buy the design depends on theirs.

So, just that afternoon, Qin Tao met Zhang Qiang, the representative of the Central China Shipyard.

He came to the capital for help. The United States did not give weapons parameters, and they had no other way, so they could only ask the navy to find a solution.

Now, after hearing that the price is 5 million, Zhang Qiang's face looks a little ugly. This is simply eating meat in their mouths.

However, he also knew that Qin Tao was very capable. He just designed a warship using the Russian weapon system without relevant professional information. At this time, he was also full of expectations. Perhaps Qin Tao could really help them solve the problem.

"In terms of anti-ship missiles, the other party requires the use of harpoons. This kind of launch device, similar to ours, can be tilted behind the bridge, and the tail is directly opposite the side of the ship, and the tail flame can be discharged directly into the seawater." Qin Tao said: "However, the other party requires the use of the Dutch Telecom company's sea radar. For convenience, this radar can be directly hung on the top of the bridge."

Zhang Qiang opened his eyes wide. As soon as Qin Tao said that, it was the most professional problem and the difficulty they were facing at present.

Siam has no money, so the displacement of this frigate cannot exceed 3,000 tons. However, they still want to load everything they can, and have advanced weapons from various countries. This is a worry for them. Even the 052 destroyer with a displacement of more than 4,000 tons is not that capable of loading.

How to stuff those things in? This is a big problem.

"In terms of air defense missiles, Siam requires the use of Sea Sparrow air defense missiles. We must reserve space to accommodate the K41 launch system so that they can modify it in the future."

In many information, it will be said that this f-25t frigate from Siam uses a K41 vertical launch device. Just think about it and you will know that this is completely nonsense.

The American Aegis system was widely used in the 1980s. It was used in the early stages as a double-arm launcher. It was not until the later stages that the K41 vertical launcher was replaced. When it entered the 1990s, only the Americans used it themselves and had never exported it. Even the loyal American lackeys were not qualified, let alone the Siam country that was completely invincible.

The f-25t frigates that were in service in the 1990s could not use the high-end K41. In 2011, these frigates were installed when they were renovated in the mid-term life extension.

Since it can be installed, it means there must be reserved space. This reserved space will make Siam very satisfied.

However, how to reserve? How much space should be? How to emit exhaust gas? These must be arranged in advance.

Others don’t know, only Qin Tao has experience.

So, when Qin Tao said this, Zhang Qiang's original dissatisfaction had completely disappeared. His eyes looked at Qin Tao with anticipation: "Mr. Qin, we are willing to hand over the design of the warship to you. We grit our teeth and pay for the five million yuan fee!"

"USD." Qin Tao said lightly.

Zhang Qiang only felt a bang in his mind. What did you say? Dollars? Are you too dark?

Looking at the other party's ugly face, Qin Tao knew that he could only stop when he saw the situation.

"Haha, I'm joking with you, are you surprised or surprised?"

There was still no blood on Zhang Qiang's face, surprise, accident? I almost had a heart attack, do you know?

However, Qin Tao is a capable person after all, and he can't protest with Qin Tao. He covered his chest and took deep breaths.

"However, we don't accept the deposit, we have to pay the full amount." Qin Tao said.

Of course he knew that in the 1990s, the market competition in China was already very fierce, and each unit used its own magical powers for its own development. As for the final payment, it was often deducted.

They have all kinds of reasons, so when they first deal with each other, Qin Tao must keep a hand, and if we want to design, we must pay the full amount.

Zhang Qiang's face looked ugly again: "What if the design drawings are not suitable, what needs to be modified?"

"We will directly connect with the Siam Navy and strive to make them satisfied. If they are not satisfied, they will change to the point where they are satisfied." Qin Tao said: "However, we must pay in full, which is a prerequisite for our cooperation."

"Mr. Qin, you don't trust us."

"The old saying goes, business is business, friendship is friendship. Even if we are brothers, we are brothers, so we can settle the accounts clearly."

"That…"

"We have some ideas about the design of the hull, which can make the hull fuller and increase space. Anyway, the power system used is also strong enough." Qin Tao continued to speak.

So what? You bring these ideas to the ship design institute and ask them to design them by one million? If they don’t design the most advanced products, I still have to do it. There are still many ideas in my mind!

Although the hull of this frigate is designed to be less than 3,000 tons, the power system used is the famous l2500, which is the same level as the 052 of more than 4,000 tons. It has strong power and can completely make the hull wider. With the same displacement, it can improve the internal space and have good airworthiness.

"Okay, Mr. Qin, I will report to the shipyard as soon as possible, and then go to Mingzhou to find you." Zhang Qiang said.

Qin Tao nodded: "Then I'll go back and let them move. Maybe by the time you go over, we've already designed the drawings almost."

After completing the design of 051c, the Design Office of Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group has no tasks for the time being. Now, receiving extra money, five million, is enough to excite those designers. When the task is completed, each person will send them a big red envelope.

If you want a state-owned enterprise, how dare you spend money like this? Without the stimulation of money, do you just use your spirit to inspire them? Of course, this is not possible. In the 1990s, you must have spiritual thoughts, and material rewards must not be less!

ps: After some consideration, I decided to change the third update of four thousand words per chapter to two six thousand words per chapter, or ten thousand words per chapter. It should be more enjoyable. Originally, the third update of four thousand words was an additional update, but now, I will work harder and not add it properly. It is normal for 12 thousand words per day, so I will persist for one month first. If there are special circumstances, I will add it.
Chapter completed!
