Chapter 793: Construction of the Fahd officially started(1/2)
The development of an early warning aircraft is not accomplished overnight. Even with the successful experience of the Air Police-2000 and the Air Police-600, the development of the balance beam still requires a lot of trouble. What we are looking at now is only the balance beam being assembled, and the engine needs to be replaced.
It needs a test flight, which will take at least one or two years.
Everyone saw the balance beam early warning aircraft, had dinner at Factory 182, went to the guest house to rest, and early the next morning, they took a special plane and continued to Mingzhou.
Mingzhou Shipyard is their destination. Their aircraft carrier Fahd will officially start construction. For the big dog owners, this is the arrival of a new era!
On the passenger plane, they were overlooking the shipyard below. When they saw the warship being built in the dock, Salman's eyes were complicated. This aircraft carrier was used by the Easterners themselves. Looking at it, the displacement
It must be 70,000 to 80,000 tons.
Dongfang is unswervingly taking the path of large aircraft carriers!
"President Qin, which one is more suitable for the navy, a medium aircraft carrier or a large aircraft carrier?" Salman asked.
"This has to be considered from many factors, the most important of which is the combat mission and potential threats." Qin Tao said: "For you, financial resources are not an issue. The key is what you want to use this aircraft carrier for.
, whether it is the bay to the east or the Red Sea to the west, the area is not very large, and the depth in many places is not enough. You also need to frequently cross the Suez Canal. If you also develop large aircraft carriers, I am afraid it will be inconvenient to operate."
Salman nodded, knowing that Qin Tao was right.
"However, for us, medium-sized aircraft carriers are not suitable. You also know the reason. Our navy still has important missions to complete. Our aircraft carriers need to sail eastward to prevent the interference of certain forces. Once a war breaks out, the navy will
There must be enough carrier-based aircraft to seize air superiority." Qin Tao said: "Although we are also developing aircraft carrier power, we will never interfere with other countries. We are to maintain world peace and the stability of our country."
The horizons on both sides were getting closer and closer, and the special plane landed steadily at Mingzhou Airport. A convoy of motorcades had already stayed there, waiting to pick up Salman and his party. After all, they had high status, so they still needed some government leaders to receive them.
After greetings, everyone took the car and went straight to the Mingzhou Shipyard.
"The 002 aircraft carrier is still being built in the dock. Therefore, the aircraft carrier we build for you can only be placed on the slipway. Please rest assured that our slipway often builds ocean-going cargo ships of hundreds of thousands of tons. There is no problem in building the aircraft carrier." Qin
Tao introduced to everyone: "Moreover, there is open space next to the slipway. We still have to use the segmented construction method to greatly increase the construction speed. After all, our slipway is also precious. We will build it for you quickly and we can continue to build it.
a ship."
"We have full confidence in Mingzhou Group." Salman looked at the flags fluttering on the slipway, a lively scene, and knew that this was specially arranged by the other party.
On the empty slipway, a rostrum has been set up, with a banner hanging on it: Warmly celebrating the start of construction of the Fahd aircraft carrier! Chinese and Arabic characters are listed above and below, with yellow letters and red cloth, very festive.
"Mr. Salman, please go up and speak." Qin Tao pointed to the rostrum.
Salman nodded and walked to the microphone with excited steps.
"Today, I am very happy that our aircraft carrier Fahd is finally going to start construction! This aircraft carrier is a testimony of our friendship with the East. We will develop closer relations in the fields of military, energy, finance and other fields in the future. We
I also hope that this aircraft carrier can be built as soon as possible, sail on the oceans of the Middle East, and make its own contribution to safeguarding world peace..."
Excited applause came from below.
After Salman finished his speech, Qin Tao was next, and his words were even more unique: "We have not established diplomatic relations with big dogs for a long time, but our friendship has developed very quickly. I think, among them,
The biggest reason is that we are all peace-loving. We will protect the peace of the world around us, but we will never threaten others. We have the same position and the same opinions, so we naturally come together. Today, we are
The purpose of building aircraft carriers by big dog owners is to allow them to better maintain the security of the oil areas. Their own safety can be relied on by themselves. As long as people in the oil areas stop fighting among themselves and unite, the oil areas will be yours.
of!"
"Now, I announce that the construction of the aircraft carrier Fahd has officially started!"
The plasma cutting machine was started first to perform the cutting ceremony of the first steel plate. The steel plate quickly entered the three-dimensional CNC bending machine, where it was bent into the corresponding shape, and then was sent to the slipway.
The construction of the Fahd aircraft carrier has officially begun!
This is the third aircraft carrier that Mingzhou Group has officially started building for foreign customers. Compared with previous aircraft carriers, its performance is much improved, especially the all-electric propulsion solution, which is definitely the first in the world!
The start of construction of this aircraft carrier also caused dissatisfaction among many people.
"They are all a bunch of idiots, why didn't they prevent this from happening from the beginning." Swift said angrily: "Don't they know that once the big dogs use Dongfang's aircraft carrier, their stance will be more inclined
Oriental?”
"Of course everyone knows and has done a lot of work, but the big dogs are determined to get together with Dongfang, and we can't stop them." Brian said: "At first they said they were special people who robbed pirates.
We were already doing work when the ships arrived, and we sold F23 fighter jets to them, but unfortunately it failed."
"Of course it will fail." Swift said: "They don't even look at it. The big players want to develop maritime power. They are promoting air fighters. This is the opposite!"
"Do you have any suggestions? I can write a report for you and report it to my superiors."
"Give the No. 3 ship of our retired Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carrier to the big dog owners." Swift said: "This way they can directly terminate Dongfang's aircraft carrier plan."
"How is that possible? If a big dog acquires an aircraft carrier of this level, it will pose a great threat to the Jewish state!"
"Yes, they may threaten our allies, but if they don't do this, they will still threaten our allies if they have aircraft carriers purchased from the East. In contrast, if we let us arm them, at least
We can still control them."
"Control? How to control?"
"On their own, they cannot master the operation of a war machine like an aircraft carrier. Therefore, a large number of our American instructors are definitely needed on the aircraft carrier. Just like on the battlefield, they have to listen to our commands."
After hearing what Swift said, Brian finally understood: "Yes, that's right, your idea makes sense."
"In addition to these, we can also make large profits by selling aircraft carriers. When we sell aircraft carriers to them, they have to refit them. In this way, we can earn at least two billion, or even more. By the way, we
We also need to sell them carrier-based aircraft."
"The stealth aircraft they have on hand has the ability to take off and land on an aircraft carrier."
"If they can send a stealth aircraft to the aircraft carrier, of course we would welcome it, but in order to keep it secret, they probably won't do it, so we still have a chance." Swift said: "Sell our big bug.
It is another huge arms sales project for them."
"Okay, I will write your suggestions into a document and report it to my superiors."
The Gou Dahu group far away in the East did not know that there was a conspiracy against them. Salman and others were heading to the secret base in the East to see the new killer weapon.
This big killer was placed on a trailer, like a boiler lying down, with various openings on it, and it looked ugly.
"Everyone, this is our ballistic missile with a range of 300 kilometers." Qin Tao said: "It currently only has the form of a trailer. The multi-axle off-road vehicle is still under development. However, its engine power is high enough and it can be towed.
Running back and forth across the desert with missiles."
The previous Dongfeng-3 was a tow truck, and the current Dongfeng-21 certainly has no big problems.
Looking at this thick and long guy, the big dogs opened their eyes wide: "Mr. Qin, the error of this missile is more than 1,700 kilometers, right?"
"Of course, the error is high but not low." Qin Tao said: "Not only is the error high, but the weight of the warhead is also large. Of course, we will not sell some special warheads to you. After all, this is really
It cannot be sold. But if you develop it yourself, it has nothing to do with us."
Hearing this, the hearts of the big dog owners were pounding.
"Mr. Qin, how much does this kind of missile cost?" Salman asked after swallowing.
"One billion dollars." Qin Tao said: "We will give you the missile launch vehicle as a gift." (Heroes of East China compared various data and calculated that in the 1980s, one sold for 100 million dollars, and it was still a backward liquid rocket.
The U.S. dollar has depreciated a lot over the years, but our missiles are still advanced, so one billion apiece shouldn’t be too outrageous, right?)
The launch vehicle doesn't cost much, only about one million, which is definitely a drop in the bucket compared to a billion dollars.
"If we develop special warheads ourselves...can we ask some technical personnel from you to help? How much will they cost?"
"In this case, our established people cannot go there. At most they are temporary workers. Their wages are not high, 300 million each."
"Okay, then we need twenty missiles and ten temporary workers." Salman gritted his teeth, and then said: "Mr. Qin, but you also know that we have been spending a lot of money recently, and the money may not arrive in time.
.”
Even the richest people are sometimes short of money. Now with the navy's violent invasion, a large number of weapons purchases have emptied their wealth. They need credit. However, they have to buy the good things in front of them on credit.
"It doesn't matter. If you don't have enough money, we can sign an oil purchase agreement and use your oil to pay for it." Qin Tao said.
Salman was very moved: "Mr. Qin, you are our true good friend!"
"You are happy, and of course we are happy too. After all, you can place an order without even seeing the test launch of this missile. How can we not take care of you?" Qin Tao said.
Of course, this thing is not just test-fired casually. With a billion dollars, who can afford to test-fire it?
But now, when Qin Tao said these words, it was very pleasant to the other party's ears.
"Thank you, Mr. Qin. We need to go back and report immediately. After approval, we will sign the agreement." Salman said.
"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news in the east."
After seeing the brand new missile with a range of 300 kilometers, Salman and his party left in a hurry. Next to Qin Tao, the commander of the missile brigade looked at Qin Tao with some worry: "Mr. Qin, our missiles are the most advanced.
weapons, can you sell them this kind of missile?”
The original Dongfeng-3 can be sold casually. After all, it is just a backward liquid missile. The Dongfeng-21 is different. This is an advanced model that can land on huge waves. The Dongfeng-21 is the first solid rocket missile owned by the Second Artillery Force. Don’t look at it.
This boiler looks outdated, but it is actually the crystallization of the most advanced technology.
"If it was a few years ago, of course we couldn't sell it, but now, this missile is no longer the most advanced one we have." Qin Tao said: "Moreover, the Dongfeng-3 missile in the hands of big dogs has always been regarded as a treasure.
, are closely guarded and have never let any outsiders get close. They are still very reliable. If these missiles get into their hands, of course they will take more care of them and there will be no leaks."
In the eyes of big dogs, this kind of killer weapon is the treasure of the country. Take Dongfeng-3 as an example. The base defense is very strict. One of the base officers and soldiers couldn't bear his father's questioning and told the inside story, which triggered their
With the highest level of warning, they invited the old father directly to the base, and then he never went out again. The old father was also very excited and stayed at the base to become a priest.
Now, if there is Dongfeng-21, they will naturally treat it more closely. Americans want to have contact? There is no way!
Now, Dongfeng-21 is no longer a secret in China, because the longer-range Dongfeng-31 has been successfully tested. The range of this solid missile has been increased to 8,000 kilometers, which is much higher than that of Dongfeng-21.
To be continued...
