The first ship of the 054 frigate was launched after the ceremony, but Qin Tao did not catch up with the launching ceremony because he was busy with Er Mao at the time. This busy work only lasted a month or two.

Now, the frigate is in the busy outfitting stage, and its weapon systems have begun to be installed in an orderly manner.

It’s the turn of the air defense system to be installed!

The Hongqi-16 missile has been developed for such a long time. This is the first time it has been installed. Relevant units are very concerned and sent a large number of technical personnel to help.

Although Zhao Ling is currently responsible for the research and development of subsequent models, she was the one who developed the Hongqi-16 after all. Now that it is being outfitted, she also plans to go over and take a look.

Where is Qin Tao?

Of course I have to go there with my wife and kids!

On April 1, 1995, Qin Tao returned to Mingzhou.

This time I went out for a long time, but the shipyard has long been used to Qin Tao's absence, and everything is in order.

The built 054 looks very beautiful.

Starting from the bow of the ship, a fold line continues to extend backward. The further back, the more area it has on the upper part, all tilting inward, covering all the superstructures inside.

Except for the 022 missile boat, it is the only one that pays the most attention to stealth design. The two 051Cs built before were not so extreme.

The appearance design of this warship has reached perfection, and the buildings on it look even more capable.

Compared with the Lavante class, its front-end building has no direct folding corners, and has special plane transitions on both sides, which looks more mature and stable. It has two masts on the top, and the main mast is on the bridge in front.

You can see a structure protruding laterally. Since the radar has not been installed yet, the outside world cannot know its radar model now.

As for the chimney at the back, a mast has also been added. I don’t know whether it is to prevent smoke or something else. The top of this mast is a big ball, and radar equipment will also be installed inside.

Zhou Yongfei was busy next to the warship.

Since arriving at the shipyard, Zhou Yongfei has been in charge of warships. After the two 051Cs were built, he naturally took charge of the construction of 054. Now, seeing Qin Tao coming, he was very happy.

"Mr. Qin, you are back. You don't know how spectacular the scene was when this warship was launched some time ago. It was even more spectacular than the launch of the 051C. Especially the leaders of the Southern Fleet. Many people came to participate.

After the launching ceremony, we stayed for two more days. Our Worker Yang gave detailed explanations to these leaders for two days, and they also came to inspect from time to time."

Among the three major fleets, the southern fleet is the most shabby. They are waiting hard for the addition of new warships. The 054 being built now is just for them. Can they not be anxious?

"Then what did they say?"

"They are very satisfied with our warships. Whether it is air defense or anti-submarine, they are proficient in everything, but they have no special features in anti-ship."

At present, the YJ-81 is still used for anti-ship missiles. This kind of anti-ship missile with a range of more than 40 kilometers is indeed not outstanding. However, these are temporary. The YJ-81 is being developed intensively.

After you come out, you can change your clothes at any time.

"You can't blame us for this, we don't make missiles." Qin Tao said, "However, they have plenty of anti-ship weapons, but what they lack most are anti-aircraft ships."

"That's right, what they pay the most attention to is our Hongqi-16 missile. Those leaders have repeatedly warned us that we must complete the construction task successfully and leave no regrets."

"That's for sure. We have invited the designers of the Hongqi-16 missile to assist in the installation and provide technical guidance. There must be no accidents. This is our first domestically produced vertically launched missile."

The one on the 051C is the S-300. This missile is from Lao Maozi. The Hongqi-16 is an absolutely authentic domestic product!

"That's great!" Zhou Yongfei said, asking

Looking around, I saw a familiar figure.

"Gong Zhao is here in person? Now we can rest assured."

Zhao Ling has already boarded the warship and is standing at the front to check.

Installation is also very particular, and there must be a solid plan. At this time, she was so focused that Qin Tao didn't even notice when she walked beside her.

"Our most mature method at present is the turntable launch method, so there is no problem, right?"

Qin Tao's words startled Zhao Ling. She turned to look at Qin Tao and nodded: "Yes, no problem, but this method is a waste of space. If there is thermal emission in the future, they can be made side by side.

This method saves space."

"Lao Maozi has been doing research there, and there should be results. By then our Hongqi-16 variant will be available." Qin Tao said with emotion: "I still remember the first time I saw him

When you came, we still used the huge red flag-61."

Qin Tao and Zhao Ling met for the first time at the Huating Shipyard. At that time, they were responsible for the testing of the Hongqi-61. Zhao Ling was a tester on the ship. The huge six-unit cylindrical launcher looked like

So spectacular.

"Yes, I also remember that at that time we were unable to even fold the wings. Later, we made improvements based on your suggestions. However, because the technology was too outdated, the Hongqi-61 still did not have a lot of equipment."

After decades of working on missiles, when they finally matured, Lian Po was already old and was really unable to undertake the corresponding mission. Therefore, apart from the few frigates that were initially built, the Hongqi-61 no longer had any more

Piggyback opportunities.

Now, the performance of the Hongqi-16 in front of us is far superior to that of the Hongqi-61. That missile will be submerged in the long river of history.

Thinking about it, it's really touching.

"Without you, maybe we would still be standing still." Zhao Ling sighed with emotion.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "No, this is not due to me alone. Even if I got Shikili back, without the tireless research and development of you scientific researchers, we would not be able to do it now.

Get this kind of harvest."

Qin Tao is telling the truth, and it is really not his fault alone. In order to imitate Shi Jili for surveying and mapping, Zhao Ling and her colleagues spent countless sleepless nights.

It is precisely because of the hard work of so many scientific researchers that the motherland's military industry can develop rapidly.

Zhou Yongfei followed behind, silently not speaking, but feeling deeply in his heart that these two couples really loved each other, but his own was different. Although they both worked in the same shipyard, they never saw each other at all!

However, Zhou Yongfei has nothing to complain about. Cong Ju was originally a person who was very serious about his work. Now, Cong Ju is simply the leader of Mingzhou Shipyard. Even Qin Baoshan does not have Cong Ju’s power. A scholar will die for his confidant.

Zhou Yongfei works here wholeheartedly.

Moreover, he is indeed very satisfied with the work at hand. This is the most advanced frigate in the country, and even the most advanced in the world!

"Let's go and have a look at the dock." Qin Tao finished reading 054 and then went to see the dock.

Xu Zhengyang followed behind.

"Mr. Qin, this kind of warship looks really good." Xu Zhengyang said as he walked away.

"That's natural. From now on, in the order of our navy, this kind of warships will be the backbone and all-rounders at sea. Whether it is escorting or fighting pirates, we can send this kind of ship there. In the future, we will patrol the Gulf of Aden.

There is no need to send our main destroyers, this kind of frigate is enough."

The main destroyers use gas turbines, which consume too much fuel. The 054 frigates use diesel engines, which are economical and affordable, and are definitely all-rounders at sea.

"Fighting pirates?" Xu Zhengyang thought of his experience in the Gulf of Aden. It was really good to say this.

"President Qin, in the future we can stay there permanently in the name of fighting pirates. After the Gwadar Port is developed, we can also use it as a supply base." Xu Zhengyang began to analyze.

Qin Tao turned his head and glanced at him: "You have also learned to think.

"

"Of course, Mr. Qin, I have gradually learned a lot about these strategic arrangements from you."

While he was talking, he had already walked to the dock.

"Mr. Qin!" Seeing Qin Tao coming, Kozlov was so excited that he almost ran all the way over. His face was full of excitement: "Mr. Qin! Where is the Varyag?

When will it arrive? We can’t wait!”

Kozlov, Sorokin, and many workers from the Black Sea Shipyard were extremely excited at this time.

When they saw Makarov coming to inspect the shipyard, they already speculated whether Mingzhou Group was going to buy the Varyag. Later, they heard that Green Venture Group had purchased the ship. They were very disappointed.

I thought I was going to miss the Varyag.

Then, they heard the Shenzhou floating dock appeared there and carried the Varyag back, and they became excited again.

Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin must have done it, he is the only one so capable!

A few days ago, they received news that they should complete the construction of the ships under construction in the dock as soon as possible and vacate the dock. They even guessed what happened.

They will continue to build the Varyag!

"What is the Varyag?" Qin Tao glanced at the excited Kozlov: "That's the Oriental Sea Blockade!"

The Oriental Sea Blockade? No matter what it is, in short, it’s just that ship!

"The ship is in very bad condition. You must be prepared."

"Yes, we have been prepared for a long time. During this time, we have been recalling the construction process, and we pieced together a blueprint." Kozlov said, taking out the blueprint.

The proportions are inconsistent. After all, they are not professional draftsmen. However, Qin Tao is very curious about the dense markings on it. They are all names of people!

"Wherever we have built it, we put the name on it. When it is time to refit it, we will be very familiar with it and can complete the transformation in the shortest time." Kozloff said: "We look forward to it sailing again in

On the sea!"

Seeing the excited Kozlov, Qin Tao really couldn't pour cold water on him.

"These are things for the future. After the ship comes back, the first thing to do is to remove the rust, which will take a long time."

In many cases, second-hand boats may not necessarily be less troublesome than new ones, and may even take more work hours. When the current boat comes back, rust removal is a big job.

"There are also a lot of barnacles growing on the bottom of the ship." Kozloff said: "We have already prepared a batch of tools. Using them will definitely make the operation smoother."

Following his words, Sorokin on the side handed over a shovel.
