The weather forecast is inaccurate.

In the decades when the country was established, weather forecasts were mainly based on meteorological stations in various places and experienced personnel speculations. It was not until the 1980s that with the opening of the country's gates, the domestic meteorological bureau specially introduced two large computers, M-160 and M-170. Their performance was very advanced at that time, mainly used in international meteorological communication services, and were also used to develop numerical forecasting models, so the country began to have advanced meteorological forecasting methods.

By 1988, the first experimental meteorological satellite was sent to the sky. The period when the meteorological numerical model forecasting business flourished, also began in the 1990s. A beautiful female meteorological host would look at the satellite cloud map to predict when it would rain in China and what would the forecast temperature be. This forecast time is only about two days, and it is not necessarily accurate in many cases.

Later, domestic supercomputers developed rapidly, and the Meteorological Bureau independently developed a new generation of global/regional universal numerical weather forecasting system (GRAPES), and the time for meteorological forecasting has increased to more than a week. Even so, meteorological forecasting is still a very difficult operation.

There is a very interesting saying among them, which is the butterfly effect. A butterfly flaunts its wings and will cause a tsunami thousands of kilometers away. This vivid metaphor fully demonstrates that the introduction of a tiny variable in the meteorological system will lead to a mutation in the meteorological system. What quantitative changes cause qualitative changes are completely incompatible with this.

Therefore, even if there is a mistake in the East's meteorological forecast, there will be no problem. Not many of the meteorological forecasts in the 1990s are absolutely accurate.

If it were normal, it might be nothing, but now, seeing a new storm about to affect his Super Ri King aircraft carrier, Asan was finally anxious.

Do you want to watch the aircraft carrier have an accident?

Of course not!

The Super Ri King is so important to them. They have to rescue this aircraft carrier at all costs!

Jodari came to the East again and came to the Mingzhou Shipyard.

"Mr. Qin, we sincerely beg you to send the Shenzhou floating dock immediately. We hope to rescue our Super Riwang as soon as possible."

"Of course, as long as $500 million is transferred to our Mingzhou Group account, we can dispatch it immediately."

Qin Tao's answer was also very straightforward, with a embarrassed look on Jodari's face: "But our funds are still under approval and we still need to go through the process. Can you dispatch it immediately?"

"Of course not." Qin Tao was not stupid: "We risked breach of contract and helped you rescue that ship with a great spirit of international friendship. What's the result? If you can't approve the funds, wouldn't we do it in vain? When will the funds arrive and when will we set off?"

When doing business with people in these countries, you must get all the funds in advance, because these guys have no credibility at all.

"Mr. Qin, can we pay the deposit first?"

"Yes, pay a deposit of 480 million first." Qin Tao answered very happily: "If you want to pay the remaining 20 million, then forget it if you want to pay the debt in the end."

Jodari opened his eyes wide. Is this called deposit? Is this called full payment? Is the remaining 20 million is already drizzling.

He was very entangled, and Qin Tao had already stood up: "I am very busy, so I won't accompany you anymore. You have to hurry up and raise funds quickly, otherwise you will delay the rescue in the end. Don't blame us for the blame. After all, our ships are slow, and it will take three or five days to go."

A San had no choice but to collect all the money simply and neatly. That night, the floating dock of the Shenzhou was finally dispatched.

When the Super Ri Wang was stranded, the hull was already tilted, which looked terrible. At the same time, a large-powered tugboat from an island country and two tugboats from A San worked together to pull the Super Ri Wang off the shallows.

After the Chaori King floated up, the Shenzhou floating dock moved below and lifted the Chaori King. Seeing the huge aircraft carrier's hull exposed to the water, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Now it was safe.

Although it will cost $500 million

The ship fee is very expensive, but this can avoid accidents. Compared to the cost of losing an aircraft carrier, this tug fee is still acceptable.

More people looked at Mingzhou Group. Is this too profitable?

Just as the world's most expensive tugboat operation was underway, Qin Tao came to 624.

"What you are visiting now is the most important engine on our J-31A, Turbofan 15." Qin Tao said to the guests of Rainbow Country with a smile: "At present, we have been able to complete the trial production of the prototype and are currently carrying out the first phase of improvement."

The complete set of turbofan 15 engines with R79 technology is not difficult to manufacture. At present, the first phase of testing has been completely finished. There is no problem with life, thrust, etc., and the next step is to improve.

This will take a long time. After all, the 15th turbofan is not your own. It is easy to imitate it, and it will go through a very difficult process to improve it. However, this is also a must. As long as you walk this road, it will be smooth sailing in the future.

Oscar opened his eyes and looked at the turbofan 15, which had completed the life test. He sighed with emotion: "Your progress is so enviable."

Although the defense exhibition has ended, according to the original plan, Oscar and others did not leave. They stayed for a few more days on the excuse of being sick. Then, when Qin Tao took time out, he took them around and took a look.

Although Dannell has carried out many aircraft projects, without exception, they use a large number of foreign accessories, such as their sculptor fighter, which only uses the Ata 50K turbojet engine. After all, only this one can be produced by itself. As for the armed helicopter project Oscar is actually a facelift of the French transport helicopter, engines and other components, all inherited from the transport aircraft. If they want to be produced in large quantities, they have to find ways to solve the procurement problem of this subsystem.

Oriental people are different. They have always been based on their own research!

Just then, a petite and thin woman walked by, and Oscar felt a little familiar. At this moment, when the other party walked up to him, he suddenly raised his head and looked here.

Oscar's heart immediately started to beat.

"Vanessa? Is it you? Vanessa?" Oscar shouted excitedly.

"Hey, Oscar, Helen...why are you here?" Vanessa pretended to be surprised.

"We're here to visit, where are you?"

"I'm working here." Vanessa said, "I've been working here for two years. I've participated in the research and development of Turbofan 15 together. I'm currently the person in charge of the Turbo Blade Project."

What? Person in charge?

Oscar was even more surprised.

In the Rainbow Country, these people are being marginalized and excluded everywhere. Unexpectedly, when they come here, they can still be entrusted with important tasks!

"Since you all know each other, come here together during lunch." Qin Tao greeted.

So, when we were having dinner, there were almost all people coming from the Rainbow Country, but their mental state was different.

Those who have already worked here with peace of mind are full of high spirits, optimistic and cheerfulness, while those who come to inspect are very complicated at this time.

"Is Dongfang good?" Oscar couldn't help asking.

"Yes, the East is very good, of course," Vanessa said. "We have a great time here. We work our favorite job every day and are well treated. We occasionally go out to the streets. The public security outside is very good, and those people are very friendly to us."

This sentence has become the last straw that crushed the camel. The Rainbow Kingdom is now a world of another kind of skin. They all have to be careful to be human. If they are not careful, they may be robbed, beaten, and women may be insulted.

For them, this is heaven!

"Mr. Qin, can we come here to work?" Finally, Helen couldn't help but ask first.

"Of course there is no problem. On behalf of Dongfang, you are welcome to work here." Qin Tao had a smile on his face: "You can still engage in previous development projects. All treatment is the same as locals, and you will also receive an additional settlement fee. Helen, you are an air-to-air missile. I can introduce you to our air-to-air missile research and development department."

Helen's face was filled with excitement.

"What about me?" Oscar asked.

"Our domestic departments are developing professional armed helicopters. Your experience can come in handy. I will introduce you to you and you can be the deputy chief engineer of this project."

After all, he was a newcomer, and Qin Tao directly promised the position of deputy chief engineer. So what else does Oscar say?

"Mr. Qin, thank you. I just need to be an ordinary designer. We will stay in the East in the future!"

"By the way, can we introduce more people?" Helen asked.

"Of course there is no problem, I welcome it very much." Qin Tao said.

Although these are not shipbuilding, Qin Tao welcomes them as long as they are technical. They can usher in a new development opportunity here and will also receive a large number of scientific and technological talents in the country. Not to mention, the Army's armed helicopter project will definitely progress faster.

Although the Army's project has nothing to do with it, if the Navy has an amphibious assault ship after it arrives, it still needs a special attack helicopter. The Army's armed helicopters can also be temporarily launched when needed.

However, Qin Tao didn't know that these people had a lot of contact, which attracted an ambitious guy.

After fooling these people, Qin Tao went to Qiongzhou without stopping.

Two hundred and fifty NK-33 engines have been transported back by the An-225 transport aircraft. When choosing a warehouse, Qin Tao conducted some research and thought about it, and finally decided to buy a piece of land in Yaxing Town, Qiongzhou, build a modern warehouse, and store the whole engine in this warehouse.

Of course, there is only one reason for this: Qiongzhou will build the largest rocket launching ground in China and join in the fun.

Back then, in order to protect the security of the motherland, ballistic missiles were developed in China. When it developed into the Dongfeng-5 intercontinental ballistic missile, it also meant the arrival of the aerospace era.

Whether it was the United States or the Soviet Union, the intercontinental ballistic missiles were used in the initial aerospace era. If the Dongfeng-5 missile was modified, it would be the Long March 2 rocket.

There is a rocket, but what about the launch site? The underground intercontinental ballistic missile launch silos specially excavated in the mountains must not be used as a launch vehicle launch site. The location of the space launch site has begun to be selected in China.

In theory, Qiongzhou Island is the southernmost part of the motherland. Launching from here can make rockets more fuel-saving or obtain greater carrying capacity. However, considering the international environment during the Cold War, the launch site was still built in Xichang, an inland area.

However, in the 1980s, with the easing of international relations, Qiongzhou was still valued. Although the Wenchang Launch Center was only built in the 21st century, as early as 1988, the first sounding rocket launch site for scientific research was built on the west coast of Qiongzhou, mainly launching suborbital rockets. This was also to fill a gap in the country at that time, and the rocket was successfully launched on December 19 of the same year.

Of course, this kind of rocket is not very famous. Domestic rockets are named after the Long March, while this rocket is called Vega. (Same as the name of European rockets.) It is also very small, similar to ordinary air defense missiles. After all, it is used to detect high-altitude situations and does not need to send satellites to orbit.

Moreover, after the launch of the Vega-3 sounding rocket was completed, in 1994, it was almost abandoned.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The newly built warehouse of Mingzhou Group is next to this sounding rocket base.

When Qin Tao came here, he looked at the people who came to greet him with great enthusiasm.

"Mr. Qin, you don't have to come here in person, we can help you do your job well." Wan Zhenfu, the head of the burly base, said to Qin Tao with a smile.

Qin Tao asked with confusion, "Isn't this a sounding rocket launch base before? Why didn't I see anything?"

Wan Zhenfu smiled and said, "Mr. Qin, come with me."

So Qin Tao walked into the wall and walked up to the roof of a two-story building. Wan Zhenfu pointed to the small house two hundred meters outside and said, "Look, one of these two houses is the rocket assembly workshop, and the other is the bunker under control and command. Then, towards the front, the cement platform is our rocket launch site."

Qin Tao was speechless, completely different from the rocket launch base he imagined!

"Our sounding rocket is very small and uses a maneuverable launch frame and is launched in a tilt manner." Wan Zhenfu said: "Vega One is more than seven meters long and Vega One III is only more than four meters long. When it was launched, there were two maneuverable radar stations nearby to track the missiles launched."

Qin Tao finally understood why when it comes to Qiongzhou's launch base, few people regard this place as the beginning. It is simply a child's house.

"Lao Wan, are you engaged in aerospace?" Qin Tao continued to ask.

"Yes, I've been working in space for half my life. I personally participated in the launch of these sounding rockets. Later, everyone was about to leave, so I stayed there." Wan Zhenfu said: "It's been a long time since this place has been so lively. Your Mingzhou Group is so fast. You built the warehouse in one week and also installed air conditioners."

The climate here is too humid. If the air conditioner is not installed, Qin Tao is afraid of destroying the rockets.

"This is our Mingzhou speed." Qin Tao said with a smile: "Then it depends on how the Americans choose. If they create an engine test drive station, it will be even more lively here."

"Yes, since the project ended, there has never been a lively place here again." Wan Zhenfu said: "Mr. Qin, the batch of engines you bought are so awesome. It is said that the thrust is 170 tons. If so many engines are sold, it would be a pity."

"Of course, it's impossible to sell them all. Americans need at most dozens of them, and the rest must be stored." Qin Tao looked at Wan Zhenfu and said, "Old Wan, do you have any ideas?"

"Our Long March 2 engine has only 75 tons of thrust, and four units are connected in parallel with a thrust of more than 200 tons." Wan Zhenfu said: "This kind of engine has a single thrust of 170 tons. If the first-stage rocket uses four such engines, it will be 680 tons! It has a greater thrust than our most important Long March 2 F-type bundled rocket, and its carrying capacity in low-Earth orbit can reach ten tons."
