"All the design drawings have been entered into our computer system." Qin Tao said to Leonid and Zaitsev: "Now, all these design drawings can be shipped back. People from the Neva Design Bureau are still

Waiting."

"It's only been five days, Qin, you moved too fast!" Zaitsev sighed with emotion.

Qin Tao's original plan was one week, but now, the task can be completed in five days. This speed is incredible.

"Yes, I will definitely do what I promised Nikolai." Qin Tao said: "These design drawings must be escorted by special people. Which one of you will go?"

"I will go back and report on the progress here." Zaitsev said.

Leonid frowned, thought of something, and then said: "I will go with you and put these design drawings on the plane."

Leonid was a little worried about Zaitsev, so he followed Zaitsev to escort the drawings to the airport.

A smile appeared on Qin Tao's face, and the opportunity to take action came!

As long as there is no technician like Leonid watching, there are too many opportunities to take action. For example, you can copy all the drawings by typing a few lines of keyboard commands without touching anything.

Except for Leonid, no one will deliberately pay attention to the movements of the computer, and they can't understand it. Even if there are other old fools guarding the entrance of the institute, as long as no one takes the paper design drawings out, they will

It won't be stopped.

Just as Leonid and Zaitsev were escorting the design drawings to the airport, the group quietly visited the design office.

They didn't alert anyone. When they arrived at the door, Qin Tao received the news and hurried over to greet them. When he saw the people getting out of the car, his eyes widened even more.

"Liu, Mr. Liu?" Qin Tao couldn't believe his eyes. The man in front of him was the promoter of the motherland's aircraft carrier career!

Next to Mr. Liu were Wu Shengli and Zheng Ming, whom Qin Tao had known before. Each of them had excitement in their eyes.

"Well, I heard that the design drawings are being made here to transform Lao Maozi's Kiev-class heavy-duty aircraft carrier into an aircraft carrier, so we came here specially to take a look." Mr. Liu's voice was not high, but you could hear the excitement in his voice.

Qin Tao knows Mr. Liu's thoughts. This is the closest the motherland's shipbuilding industry has ever been to an aircraft carrier.

"Well, yes, please come to the conference room and we can give you a report."

So, in the conference room, Mr. Liu saw the rough design of the renovated aircraft carrier, looked at the jump deck, looked at the take-off line, looked at everything on the deck, his eyes were full of expectation.

However, after Wu Shengli and Zheng Ming listened, they were a little surprised: "Isn't this design too childish? The island has not been moved to the side, the take-off and landing areas overlap, and the elevators are also internal. Even if this aircraft carrier

After the transformation, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced!"

Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, there is nothing we can do about it. If it is renovated in a shipyard in the Far East, it will be like this, unless it is renovated in our own shipyard, but Lao Maozi will definitely not be willing to part with the modification funds. Ah

It’s impossible for us to change it in the middle of the night.”

Mr. Liu nodded: "In other words, using the Kiev class to transform the aircraft carrier will have many shortcomings and is not our best choice."

"Yes, the displacement of the Kiev-class is only 40,000 tons, and its foundation is limited. It is not the best choice for modification at all." Qin Tao said: "If we want to modify it, a 60,000-70,000-ton platform will be better."

When Qin Tao said these words, several people present were a little excited.

"A platform of 60,000 to 70,000 tons? Taozi, are you talking about Er Mao's Varyag?" Wu Shengli asked.

Qin Tao nodded.

"We also plan to go to Ermao to inspect the Varyag. If it is in good condition, we plan to buy it." Zheng Ming said excitedly. In fact, he had received an order from Mr. Liu and planned to inspect it in person.

It's been a while.

However, after hearing about Qin Tao's work, he didn't go there immediately. Instead, he ran over to take a look and asked Qin Tao what he meant.

"Yes, Tao Zi, I heard that you have seen the Varyag. How is its condition? Can we buy it?" Mr. Liu asked.

Mr. Liu did not call Mr. Qin, but like Wu Shengli, he affectionately called him Tao Zi. This made Qin Tao's heart warm. Qin Tao looked at Mr. Liu and solemnly said: "Mr. Liu, you can."

able?

Mr. Liu's eyes showed anticipation: "Then we will prepare immediately!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Liu, we can buy Varyag back, but not now." Qin Tao said quickly: "I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at it now. If we get involved, the West will not sit back and ignore it.

, Da Mao will also be dissatisfied, even if we buy it, there is absolutely no way we can drag it back."

Buy now, the purpose is too obvious!

The enthusiasm of several people was poured cold water on them: "In the future?"

"That's right." Qin Tao said: "The Red Empire collapsed, and Da Mao, who inherited the mantle, simply did not have the strength to maintain the previous huge fleet. The decommissioning of the Minsk was just the beginning. In less than a year or two, the four Kievs

All the ships will be decommissioned and then sold for scrap. We need to buy one or two ships and then transform them into a playground. In this way, when we buy the Varyag, we can reassure those who are eyeing the Varyag."

The people present had very high IQs. Qin Tao only spoke half of what he said before everyone understood.

It's still what Qin Tao said, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, you have to take your time, and you have to make all kinds of preparations to get the Varyag over perfectly.

So now, I can only watch.

"We can buy Varyag back in the name of opening a casino. As long as it is dragged to our shipyard, it is our business how to change it." Qin Tao said: "At that time, we

Our own aircraft manufacturing plant can also produce the Su-27 series of fighters. It is precisely on the basis of this kind of fighter aircraft that we can transform a specialized carrier-based aircraft. Even if we buy the Varyag back immediately, without a carrier-based aircraft, then

It’s also a piece of scrap metal.”

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! An aircraft carrier is a systematic supporting project. It not only includes warships, but also aircrafts. In terms of carrier-based aircraft, the only one that can see hope at present is the Su-27.

These all take time. According to the Air Force's plan, technology production will be introduced simultaneously when purchasing the second batch of Su-27s. It will still take several years until we can assemble the Su-27s.

"Yes, we still have to wait. I hope I can see our own aircraft carrier in my lifetime!" Mr. Liu sighed with emotion.

Mr. Liu has been dreaming of this aircraft carrier for decades.

"Please rest assured, our aircraft carrier will definitely appear soon by the end of this century." Qin Tao said.

Mr. Liu nodded.

Far north, where the Pacific Fleet is stationed.

"Nikolai, what's going on? Why haven't our drawings been delivered yet? It's been a week!" Orlov shouted to Nikolai: "Now, without the design drawings, we have nothing."

The detailed design has begun, don’t you look forward to formally signing the agreement with Asan as soon as possible?”

Even if I ask for 28 million in design fees, you can't hold me back just because of that. There are still nearly a billion in expenses to come. If you try to stumbling upon me now, you are ignoring the overall situation.

Orlov had this mentality at this time.

There was a wry smile on Nikolai's face: "Orlov, I have urged you countless times, but there is a fault on a section of the railway and they are repairing it. If you are anxious, then should we send a convoy to use it?

Did the car bring those drawings back?"

Orlov shook his head: "No, cars are slower. If we lose the design drawings of a car, we won't be able to design it! By the way, has Asan's start-up capital arrived? If so, give it as soon as possible.

We transferred it to the account and we are still waiting!”

"Well, I'm waiting for you too, don't be anxious, don't be anxious."

After seeing Orlov off, Nikolay saw his old subordinate, Zaitsev.

"Your Excellency Nikolai, we have shipped back all the drawings, not a few copies." Zaitsev said to Nikolai: "Qin's progress is very fast. He assured us that it can be completed as scheduled.

time to complete all the modification drawings.”

Nicholas nodded: "Well, I knew that Qin would not let me down. Asan's advance payment has arrived. I will allocate one million US dollars to Qin Xian and let them use it first."

Nikolai is very happy.

"Should these drawings be handed over to the Neva Design Bureau?" Zaitsev asked.

Nicholas shook his head: "Don't worry, give them the drawings and they will press for the money. We'd better wait until Qin's design is completed!"

Orlov returned to his residence and saw Sokolov's face looking very ugly.

"Sokolov, what's wrong with you?" Orlov asked curiously.

"Just now, some Americans came to see me." Sokolov said: "They promised that as long as I go to them, they will give me 5 million for settlement expenses, and then give me a monthly salary of 50,000."

Orlov's expression also changed drastically: "The Americans are coming to find you? Then, what do you think about it?"

Even Orlov himself felt that he might not be able to withstand the temptation of five million US dollars in settling-in expenses and a monthly salary of fifty thousand!

"Of course I refused." Sokolov said: "I have been designing warships for half my life. Our heavy aircraft-carrying cruisers are aimed at Americans. Now, how is it possible for me to serve Americans?"

When you reach Sokolov's level, you can't just buy it with money. People like him have lofty ideals in their hearts. Faith is more important than salary. Surrender to the imaginary enemy of the past and give to the past.

Sokolov cannot do the work of his opponent.

Orlov finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then Sokolov continued: "They found me through St. Petersburg."

If the people in St. Petersburg hadn't leaked Sokolov's whereabouts, how could the Americans have found him? Sokolov's words gave Orlov an ominous premonition.

.

"We must get a sum of money as soon as possible and then pay the salaries to the people in the design bureau." Sokolov said: "If we can't settle them, I'm afraid many people will be poached."

The Neva Design Bureau is very famous. In the era of the Red Empire, it designed so many military ships, and there were many elites in it. But those young people did not have the consciousness of Sokolov. Under the temptation, they

I'm afraid I will choose to leave.

This will not only cause the leakage of warship secrets in previous eras, but also greatly damage the strength of their Neva Design Bureau. After losing so many technical personnel, can they continue to design?

Once there is a talent gap, their design bureau may really decline.

Orlov nodded: "Well, I can't wait here any longer. I'm going to find out in detail what went wrong with the railway department. We need to take action quickly and force Nikolai to give us the money."
