The next day, conference room.

The aircraft carrier model, which is more than two meters long, is placed exactly in the center of the oval conference table. The officers sitting in the outer circle wearing the uniforms of senior navy generals of our country are looking at the aircraft carrier with expectant eyes.

"It adopts the most popular layout in the world, with a jump deck at the bow and an angled deck on the left." Qin Tao stood in an open space in front of the conference table, holding a laser pointer in his hand, and the light spot fell on

On board the aircraft carrier.

"The jump deck on the bow of the ship allows it to take off many carrier-based aircraft. Whether it is the French Rafale, the Da Mao MiG-29, or our J-31A, they can all take off successfully. In terms of the way they land,

, you can choose between vertical landing and arresting cable landing. As long as the engine power is sufficient, the go-around is enough, so that this aircraft carrier can have the ability to operate conventional take-off and landing carrier-based aircraft."

These aircraft, no matter which model they are, are quite expensive. However, just because the football country cannot afford it now, does not mean that it will not be able to afford it in the future!

"Where's the lift?" someone asked.

"There are two options for the elevator. If you plan to operate a vertical take-off and landing fighter jet, the elevator can be located at the tail of the warship." Qin Tao continued: "This will not interfere with deck operations, and the size of the elevator can also be large. If you want

If the landing is to be blocked, in order to avoid affecting the strength of the tail deck, it can be moved to the rear of the ship island and a side lift can be set up. However, the size there is limited, and the size of the lift cannot be very large. "

Everyone nodded. Both designs have their own advantages. It depends on the choice of carrier-based aircraft.

"Considering that its displacement is 30,000 tons, the size of the carrier-based fighter jets operated on it cannot be too large, otherwise the number available for operation will be too small, so the side elevator should be enough." Qin Tao continued.

introduce.

"Displacement is 30,000 tons?" Some people are questioning this data.

"Yes, the standard displacement is 28,000 tons, and the full load displacement is 33,000 tons." Qin Tao introduced: "For you, this should be a compromise between performance and price."

"And how much does it cost?"

"We'll talk about the price last. Let's look at the performance first, okay?" Qin Tao hesitated.

Of course, we can't say it now. If we say it, these people will definitely find it difficult to accept it. How can we continue to introduce it?

"Yes, let's listen to the performance first." Sagastrese nodded.

"Let's continue talking about the deck. If we operate our J-31A fighter jets, it should be able to equip about thirty." Qin Tao said: "This is enough to dominate the entire South America."

Thirty fourth-generation aircraft, that’s all!

Everyone's eyes lit up.

"Of course, considering various factors, you also need to equip a certain number of helicopters. Therefore, the best combination is twenty fighters plus ten helicopters to complete various tasks."

"It's a pity that we can only rely on the jump deck on the bow of the ship to take off. The efficiency of such a dispatch is too low." Someone said.

In fact, the 30,000-ton aircraft carrier, even if it belongs to the French, only has a steam catapult on the bow and the jump deck, and the dispatch efficiency is not very high.

"Yes, the launch efficiency of the jump deck is not high, but it is reliable. If your navy wants to continue sailing to high latitudes in the south, the temperature will get lower and lower, and the deck of the steam catapult will freeze.

, will bring you a serious test."

Everyone's eyes lit up.

They not only have to wander in the waters near themselves, but also in the waters further south! This ability is a must!

"Currently, we are developing an electromagnetic catapult. When this technology matures, we will be able to install an electromagnetic catapult on the angled deck, so that more aircraft can be launched from the electromagnetic catapult and the dispatch efficiency will be greatly improved.

"

"Electromagnetic catapult? Do you still have this kind of technology?"

"Please believe in our strength." Qin Tao said with a smile on his face: "Our Mingzhou Group has advanced shipbuilding technology. Moreover, such a brand-new aircraft carrier can be used for at least fifty years in your hands.

Even if this technology is not available now, in ten or twenty years, when your aircraft carrier needs a mid-term life extension, it can be retrofitted with an electromagnetic catapult. Now we have reserved space for future upgrades. What do you think?

"

Everyone nodded.

Not just now, you can also consider future upgrades, not bad!

"Now, let's introduce its power system. We equipped it with four heavy oil pressurized boilers to drive two steam turbines, giving it a top speed of more than 30 knots."

This is also the biggest difference from the plan for the Turkish Navy.

Originally, the boiler was used for the Turkish country, but the Turkish people were not happy and asked to change it to the LM2500 gas turbine design. This change in design took longer.

The original design has been made a long time ago and cannot be wasted. It is just right to bring it out now!

Chinese football people will not dislike boilers. After all, the aircraft carriers they have now also use boilers, and they are cheaper.

After talking about the boiler, we started to introduce the ship island, etc., especially the various electronic equipment on the ship island, which are also readily available. There is no need for any outsourcing, Dongfang can provide one-stop services.

Qin Tao followed up with another round of deception, and everyone was already very satisfied with the performance of this aircraft carrier.

"Now, can you tell us the price? How much do you plan to sell such an aircraft carrier?" Sagastrese asked.

"We have two options." Qin Tao introduced: "One is to fully adopt warship standards, and the other is to partially adopt civilian ship standards to reduce costs."

Qin Tao looked at everyone: "This kind of aircraft carrier using civilian ship standards only costs 400 million US dollars."

Four hundred million!

When these words came out, everyone felt their hearts tremble. Four hundred million dollars!

Do you know how much our defense expenditure is per year?

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Do you know how much the aircraft carriers sold by the French cost?

"If it is a warship standard, it will have to rise to US$500 million." Qin Tao continued.

You can tell by looking at everyone's faces, they have no money!

After listening to it for a long time, I just painted a big picture! It doesn’t make any sense at all. Needless to say, 400 million or 500 million, they can’t even come up with 100 million!

This is just a fantasy!

Many people had disappointed expressions on their faces.

"According to yesterday's proposal, we exchange iron ore for aircraft carriers. The international price of iron ore is about 20 US dollars per ton. At 500 million US dollars, this requires 25 million tons of iron ore. We don't

It needs to be delivered in one go. It will take about five years from the construction of the aircraft carrier to sea trials. In this way, if calculated over five years, only five million tons of iron ore will be needed each year. For you

, these iron ores are just drizzle.”

In the whole year of 1995, the football country exported 10,000 tons of iron ore, and the kangaroo country exported 10,000 tons. The export volumes of the two countries were almost the same.

On average, more than 10 million tons of iron ore are exported a month. Now, Qin Tao requires 5 million tons of iron ore per year, which is only half a month's export volume!

Calculated this way, it's much cheaper.

However, the iron ore does not belong to their navy!

Iron ore belongs to their domestic companies, such as the main Danshui River Valley Company, etc. It is not their final say!

Qin Tao doesn't care about this. You are the military. Don't you have the ability to get iron ore?

Qin Tao knew what these people were having trouble with, but he just ignored it.

"Everyone, as long as you sign the contract now, we can start construction for you next year. You will provide us with five million tons of iron ore every year. In five years, we will be able to hand over the modern aircraft carrier to you." Qin Tao

Said: "Moreover, we can also give you a benefit."

Bonus benefits?

Hearing Qin Tao say this, everyone opened their eyes wide again: "What's the benefit?"

"As a special care user, you don't need to invest money. After the research and development of our J-31A fighter jet is completed, you will have the first rights to purchase like other investors. In this way, when the warship comes out, you will also have the world's

The most advanced carrier-based stealth fighter on board!”

It is also tempting to order the first batch without spending any money. After all, according to their experience in operating aircraft carriers over the years, they have an aircraft carrier but do not have fixed-wing carrier-based fighter jets, resulting in the aircraft carrier’s combat effectiveness

It's impossible to show it at all. If they have the most advanced fourth-generation fighter jets in the world, their combat effectiveness will be able to reach a higher level!

"Of course, if you can't come up with funds at that time, you can continue to exchange for ores. Whether it's iron ore or other minerals, we want it."

All the conditions have been laid out, it just depends on the other party’s consideration.

The military has a way to snatch meat from the Danshui River Valley Company. Now, as long as they can snatch the meat, they can get a modern aircraft carrier and supporting carrier-based aircraft. As for how to get it, Qin Tao

It doesn't matter, Qin Tao can just accept the iron ore.

Profit will drive them.

"Currently, from a broad perspective, there are no shipyards in the world that meet your needs." Qin Tao said: "The United States produces the most aircraft carriers, but they only produce super aircraft carriers, and they have never built such a ship.

Light aircraft carrier. The displacement of British aircraft carriers is too small. The 20,000-ton Invincible class can only carry Sea Harriers. France is expensive. The cost of the Charles de Gaulle they built was seriously overrun. The final service cost was expected to be two billion US dollars. Other small countries

It’s even less worth mentioning, only we can produce aircraft carriers that meet your needs.”

"Our Mingzhou Group is a world-class shipyard that can build all types of ships around the world."

Qin Tao started to brag. Anyway, he was idle. Finally, someone below said: "We don't have to build new ones."

Just waiting for this sentence!

Qin Tao had a smile on his face: "Yes, you don't have to make new ones, second-hand ones are also available, but you must keep your eyes open when choosing. Our Mingzhou Group once purchased large wool

aircraft carrier, I have deep experience that the cost of modification may be far more than expected. By the way, have you heard about Ah San’s Chaori King? The original quotation was very cheap, but when Damao was refitting, he kept asking

If we don’t receive additional funding, we won’t build it. There are all pitfalls here!”
