Chapter 518 One hundred million tons of iron ore(1/2)

To be fair, the aircraft carrier that went out to show off its muscles was not produced by Mingzhou Group, but from a technical point of view, it is more complicated than Mingzhou Group's own construction. This is a scrapped aircraft carrier that can also take off and land heavy fighter jets.

Looking around the world, only Mingzhou Group can do it. No other shipyard dares to praise such a seaport! It is impossible to transform a thing that has been burned into scrap iron into an aircraft carrier?

Therefore, Mingzhou Group became famous and their shipbuilding strength has been recognized worldwide!

Now, the football country's navy is here.

The scale of this inspection team was quite large. It was led by the Navy leader of the football country, Shagastras, and Irges, who received Qin Tao last time, was also among them.

At Huating International Airport, Qin Tao personally led a team to greet him, and also accompanied by Leader Zhao from the Mingzhou Naval Base.

The military band was playing welcome songs, and the airport was very lively.

"Welcome to everyone." Qin Tao stretched out his hand: "We meet again. Let me introduce you to the leader Zhao who is specially made by our Navy to welcome you."

Leader Zhao also reached out and held the other party's hand, and was extremely enthusiastic: "Welcome to the East. We all belong to the third world. We also hope to strengthen our contacts and cooperate more in the future."

The arrival of football countries is of great significance.

Now, the other party can come to the East to inspect or even purchase warships produced in the East, which will definitely cause trouble to some people.

"We are honored," said Shagastras. "We noticed that the ancient East is gradually rejuvenating, and it is a vibrant country!"

After the reception, the group transferred to Nakabaya, flew directly to Mingzhou Naval Base, and landed on the aircraft carrier parked on the dock.

"This warship is really spectacular!" After getting off the helicopter and seeing the wide flight deck, Sagastras immediately sighed: "Especially, it uses a leap deck and takes off directly from the bow of the ship. I have read your news several times."

Shagastras came here because of his reputation. The mighty posture of this warship completely conquered his heart.

"In fact, ski jump and takeoff are just helpless choices. This is the design of this warship, and we can no longer change it." Qin Tao introduced: "In fact, if you want to talk about the efficiency of the operation, it is more appropriate to catapults. Of course, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. If there is a problem with the catapult, the plane may not be able to take off."

"That's right, in the naval battle more than ten years ago, the aircraft carriers of the Crying Kingdom once discovered the British aircraft carrier formation. Unfortunately, for various reasons, carrier-based aircraft could not take off. If they had adopted the method of ski jump takeoff at that time, it would have been possible that the naval battle would have been rewritten."

Speaking of this, Shagastras was also very moved. After all, they watched the naval battle all the time, and they were very sad about the result of the naval battle.

"Look at this place, our landing area has a special blocking rope here. You should also see that our heavy J-15 fighter jets can successfully land. As for the light carrier-based aircraft you are currently operating, there is no problem." Qin Tao continued to fool him. The other party had not even purchased the blocking rope. This time he saw his own style, so he should use the blocking rope with confidence, right?

"There is not a single plane above?" Irges spoke.

"Yes, before returning to the port, all the carrier-based aircraft above were released in advance and arrived at the land base." Leader Zhao introduced: "And, this aircraft carrier is actually a semi-finished product. We still have a lot of work to do, especially on the ship island, which has not yet been installed with relevant equipment, and it is very messy inside and cannot enter and visit you."

Leader Zhao gave him a vaccination in advance. It was fine to visit the deck, so he didn't go to other places.

Where else?

The ship island is the most important. As for the hangar below, you can go and have a look if you want to go there. Anyway, it is empty and there is nothing.

As it turned out, these people were really interested. After seeing the deck, they were of course not satisfied. They went downstairs to take a look, and finally entered the engine compartment on the lower floor.

"If you want to drive this huge warship, you need strong power. We have installed eight supercharged boilers in it, which can drive this warship to a speed of 30 knots. If you want a 30,000-ton aircraft carrier, you only need four such boilers."

I said it when I was introducing it, but I could only say it with my mouth. It’s different now. Now there are physical objects, and it can be clearly seen that the power system is complete.

What is important for an aircraft carrier? The steel, power systems, and various electronic equipment built.

Now Mingzhou Group has no steel, and it has built an aircraft carrier for Siam, and the power system is right in front of us. As for electronic systems, it is easy. Even if you don’t look down on Eastern equipment, you can still purchase it from the West.

However, considering the system, it is more appropriate to provide Eastern support.

"Did you produce this kind of boiler yourself?" asked Shagastras.

"Of course, when I came back from the purchase, it was an empty shell. If there was a power system, we drove it back directly, so why should we drag it back?" Qin Tao said: "Also, look at the mark above, the authentic made in China!"

In this way, after watching it, the visitor of the football country was very satisfied with the aircraft carrier.

When night fell, Qin Tao took these guests to stay at the Mingzhou Group Guesthouse. These people were very satisfied with the magnificent guesthouse.

"Before we came, we thought that the East was poor and backward. After we came here, we realized that the East had developed, and in terms of prosperity, it was no worse than the big cities in the West."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "That's of course, thank you for your praise. At 7 o'clock in the evening, we will hold a banquet to welcome you all."

Soon, the banquet hall became lively and the crowd drank and chatted.

"This time, your side suddenly dispatched a huge aircraft carrier formation, which caused a sensation all over the world. Everyone said that the sleeping lion in the East has finally awakened!"

"Thank you, we were forced to do it this time, so we can only choose to draw the sword. Take our aircraft carrier for example. There are still many projects that have not been transformed. Fortunately, there is no problem in attacking." Qin Tao said: "However, other warships have no problems and can attack at any time."

"Mr. Qin, before the aircraft carrier formation was dispatched, you had a ballistic missile that could strike mobile targets at sea. Do you have any idea to export this weapon?"

The aircraft carrier is not shocking, the most enviable thing is the ballistic missile, which is absolutely terrifying. Everyone exclaimed that a killer weapon like an aircraft carrier is already a living coffin at sea, and the theory of uselessness of aircraft carriers has even begun to have a market again!

Even the football countries were shocked, which was also the reason why they came here. I wonder if they could purchase such weapons?

"Everyone should know that there is an unwritten rule in the international community that the range of ballistic missiles exported cannot exceed 300 kilometers. Our weapons with a range of two or three thousand kilometers are not within the export range." Qin Tao rejected the other party's request in one sentence.

It’s not that we don’t want to sell, it’s that we must abide by international conventions!

"Yes, we can't break these rules." Leader Zhao, who attended the banquet, also spoke, so the other party had to give up.

The banquet ended at 11 o'clock in the evening. The next day, Qin Tao took these guests to visit the Mingzhou Shipyard.

"This is a 400,000-ton dock. The Oriental Sea Ducheng was modified here." Qin Tao introduced: "What is being built now is the new luxury Ducheng ship of Chuanglu Company. It was because of the damage of some people that the original Ducheng ship was destroyed and Chuanglu Company gave up, so we had to find a way to repair the ship."

"Mr. Qin, I heard that Chuanglu Company has a relationship with your Mingzhou Group?" Shagastras asked.

Qin Tao nodded without denying it at all: "Of course, I have a good relationship with Chuanglu Company, the famous female Duwang in Magang now. I met when I went to Moscow to do business. Otherwise, there would be no need to do a lot of effort to help when I purchased the Dongfanghai Duwang City."

There is no need to deny this kind of thing, otherwise it will insult the IQ of these people. Instead, speaking so openly can make the other party feel that Qin Tao is more frank.

Sure enough, after Qin Tao finished speaking, the other party nodded: "Mr. Qin, you are so nice to your friends."

"Yes, we have a clear distinction between friends and enemies. We should treat our enemies as cold as winter, and we should treat our friends as hot as summer."

"Mr. Qin, can we go and see J-31A tomorrow?" asked Irges.

"Of course, if you decide to purchase an aircraft carrier, then J-31A is the best choice." Qin Tao agreed immediately: "We will go to see J-31A tomorrow."

It has already entered April, and the temperature in the country of Tianfu is the most comfortable time.

Qin Tao and his group were in a mighty manner. After arriving, they were shocked by the latest news.

The first ship-based model has begun assembly in Factory 132!

This speed is hard to believe!

The entire J-31A project office is only responsible for design, and of course the production of aircraft must be placed in the supporting factory 132. Even the J-10 prototype is assembled in Factory 132. Through the assembly of the J-10 fighter jets, they mastered the assembly technology of modern fighter jets. Therefore, the assembly of the J-31A is naturally natural.

The reception task was still handled by Zhao Dangsheng.

After years of training, Zhao Dangsheng has grown into an excellent multi-faceted talent, with skills and eloquence, and receiving effortlessly.

"Everyone, Factory 132 is a military factory with a high level of confidentiality, so please don't walk around casually. Let's go directly to the production station of J-31A to see it." Zhao Dangsheng said: "If you come here a few months later, you will see the plane's skiing and even its first flight."

"Why did you first try to produce a ship-based model?" asked Shagastras.

"When we were developing, we wanted one aircraft and three types." Zhao Dangsheng introduced: "We have carefully studied and decided to use the ship-based type as the basis. After all, on the basis of the ship-based type, simplifying the landing gear and wing folding mechanism can become a normal land-based type. The simplified weight can improve performance and increase fuel reserves. It has reserved enough space. After our lift fans and other components are successfully developed, it can also be easily changed to a vertical take-off and landing fighter."

"Does the vertical take-off and landing aircraft have no technical reserves?" asked Irges.

"Of course not. We have made great technological breakthroughs and are currently in the bench testing stage. If you are interested, I can take you to see it after the visit here. After all, we cannot install immature equipment on the prototype. Our test flight is very rigorous." Qin Tao said confidently.

Last year, the lift fan technology made a breakthrough and then went to test it. These technologies will gradually mature.

"No," Shagastras nodded, and then began to look at the prototype being assembled.

The appearance is very special, with edges and angles, reflecting the characteristics of stealth aircraft, but it is much smoother than the F-117 aircraft, which is compromised in stealth and maneuverability. The entire aircraft looks full of modernity.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What is the opening of its belly?" asked Shagastras.

"Of course it's an internal bullet bay." Qin Tao introduced: "For a stealth fighter, the built-in bullet bay must be used to reduce the probability of being discovered by the enemy. The body size of our aircraft is not very large, but its built-in bullet bay is definitely enough."

If we talk about the built-in bomb bay, the F-22 is the smallest, but they are connected. The F-35 is the bomb bay on both sides. It is said to be for the purpose of accommodating the lift fans. As a result, it was criticized by the Navy for a long time. I wanted to use some advanced ammunition, but it was unable to carry it because it was oversized!

Now this J-31A has been modified when it was designed, making the built-in bomb bay a large bomb bay, which can not only release air-to-air missiles, but also stuff large bombs into them. It is also a good player in performing attack missions.

Of course, the size is still limited. When you want to carry anti-ship missiles such as the Eagle Strike-12, you can only be mounted on an outside rack and lose your stealth ability.

This is also the limitation of stealth aircraft, after all, the body has such a large space.

But now, when it comes to internal bullet bays, it is definitely a high-end thing, and everyone praises this built-in bullet bay.

People from football countries also look at it very carefully. For them, if this tall and powerful aircraft can be purchased and equipped on their own aircraft carriers, its combat effectiveness will definitely be amazing!

Dominate the entire South America without any problems.

This is a tall stealth aircraft!

But these things cost money!

Although they ran over to see it, they were still empty-handed.

The assembly of the aircraft is done in a fixed station. Iron racks are set up around the aircraft, and many workers are busy on it.

Looking at the assembly scene, Shagastras finally spoke: "We are very looking forward to obtaining aircraft carriers and supporting carrier-based aircraft, but these require huge expenses."

"Hasn't I proposed to replace iron ore with aircraft carrier?" Qin Tao asked Shagastras: "Iron ore can be replaced with aircraft carriers or carrier-based aircraft. We only need to sign a few more years of contract."

Shagastras smiled bitterly on his face: "Our domestic companies refuse us to do this, and the above gave us a compromise."

"Please speak." Qin Tao said.

This kind of thing should be discussed slowly in the conference room, but because Shagastras was very embarrassed at this time, in order to avoid being rejected in a formal occasion, I simply said it here.

"In our country, there are still many mineral resources that have not been developed. For example, in Para, Pioy and Tocantins, there are at least three mines available for mining. These three mines have a total reserve of nearly 10 billion tons of iron ore, but they are still idle." Sagastras said: "At present, the solution given to us is that your Mingzhou Group will choose one of the mines to mine, and all the costs will be paid by you."
