"Mr. Qin, it's great that we can rent this kind of polar research vessel. This Snow Dragon 2 has a large displacement and strong ice-breaking ability. It can take us to the North Pole. If we rely on ourselves, we don't know how to do it.

How long will it take for the country to allocate funds for us to build an icebreaker of this level? We cannot take it for granted, we must give money." Chen said.

How can they have the nerve to use it for free? As long as they can rent such a ship, it would be great. After all, in the past, they could only find a way from abroad, which was not only expensive, but also not necessarily available for rent.

Now, with the help of Mingzhou Group, they definitely want to use it at any time. If they are not satisfied with this, how can they be shameless and use it for free?

"Our Xuelong 2 has a large displacement and many cabins inside." Qin Tao said: "It would be a waste if we only carried the scientific expedition team. Therefore, we will use the name of the Arctic scientific expedition team to communicate with the outside world.

Announce the North Pole tourism project and sell a large amount of boat tickets. This income is enough. We use your name to promote tourism, and of course we have to give it to you for free. We are in a cooperative relationship, and you are not taking advantage of us.

Cheap."

Mr. Chen's eyes were full of emotion.

What Mr. Qin said about tourism projects was to help them step down. Qin always used this method to support their Arctic scientific expedition!

"Mr. Qin, then we can't use your ship in vain." Mr. Chen said: "Before departure, we will take care of the food supplies for the entire ship, including the food for the tourists. During the entire trip, we

The scientific expedition team members will become the commentators for the tourists, explaining to them the uniqueness of the Arctic tourist attraction. We can also lead the team and take them on a tour on the ice, and we can also hold a football match at the pole of the Arctic."

Now that Mr. Qin has said it to this extent, of course they can no longer refuse. Mingzhou Group provides them with free ships, and they must do their best to help Mingzhou Group entertain tourists. If the tourists just take a boat to travel to the Arctic,

That's not interesting. There must be commentators on the side, constantly explaining interesting things about the Arctic, and organizing various activities. These are the strengths of their Arctic scientific expedition team. With the Arctic scientific expedition team acting as commentators for tourists, this tour requires

It's so colorful, and there are also ice football games and the like, which will make it even more enjoyable for everyone.

Hearing Mr. Chen say this, Qin Tao didn't refuse anything.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Qin Tao said: "We have the Snow Dragon 2. In addition to taking the fleet to shuttle on the Arctic routes, we will definitely organize some Arctic tourism projects. We have no experience.

, it would be much more convenient to have experts like you as tour guides.”

Zhao Ling's eyes were full of admiration. Brother Tao was so awesome. With a simple suggestion, he found a way to cooperate for both parties. The Arctic scientific expedition team saved money and Mingzhou Group made money. It was a win-win situation.

"Mr. Chen, since you are here, don't leave in a hurry and wait until tomorrow to attend our launching ceremony." Zhao Ling sent out the invitation.

"Well, I'm honored." Mr. Chen nodded.

"After the water is launched, the outfitting will be carried out." Qin Tao said: "You can go up and take a look first and give us some valuable suggestions."

"good."

The matter was settled in this way, and the day passed in a busy manner. As night fell, the restaurant of the Mingzhou Group Guesthouse was bustling with activity.

"Come on, it's not easy for us to sit together today. We have to have a drink." Wu Shengli raised his glass and looked at Chen Qi: "Old Chen, although we both make a living at sea, we have little intersection with each other. After all, you two

The place we go to is not accessible to our navy, so this time we sit together, it is a kind of fate."

"Yes, Lao Wu, I respect you."

"What do you respect me for?"

"You have a good son-in-law."

Wu Shengli smiled heartily: "Haha, yes, I have a good son-in-law! Are you all envious? My son-in-law is number one in the country, and you can only envy me!"

Qin Tao was helpless on the side, sipping the wine glass. His father-in-law was happy. The launch of Xuelong 2 will further verify the safety and reliability of the nuclear reactor. At the same time, the 055 will start construction tomorrow, which is the most proud of the Navy.

Large warships will be the future fist of the navy.

Let my father-in-law say what you want to say, and wait here.

"Report." At this moment, an adjutant came in: "I just got the latest news. The Mao Navy dispatched two modern-class destroyers to respond to the Admiral Razayev. At the same time, the island nation's navy also dispatched an 88-class destroyer.

Fleet, both sides..."

"Okay, not bad." Wu Shengli nodded with satisfaction: "Taozi, you helped Lao Maozi repair the Kirov-class cruiser. There are still some people who are gossiping and arguing, saying that you are immature in doing so and may give us

Bringing threats, huh, how do those idiots know your strategic vision!"

The Admiral Razaev is too sensitive. After all, when it was called the Frunze, it was a nightmare for the entire Pacific West Coast countries. Now that the Mingzhou Group is helping to resurrect such a giant ship, will it bring any consequences to itself?

To threaten?

Some people who don't know the truth will always make wild comparisons, especially some time ago, when the clown jumped out to cause trouble for the Mingzhou Group, and even used this incident as a reason to attack the Mingzhou Group.

Now, everyone finally sees that this 25,000-ton monster has been resurrected with full health, which is beneficial to our own side and has completely attracted the attention of the West!

"Have the Americans moved out?"

"No, they probably didn't dare to face each other directly, so they just watched from the sidelines. The South Pickle Country also dispatched two warships, but they only watched from a distance and did not move forward. Later, Lao Maozi dispatched

We formed a Tu-22M bomber regiment and successfully solved the crisis."

Tu-22M! This variable-sweep wing bomber has always been a nightmare for the US aircraft carrier formation. When it flies over with a huge anti-ship missile, it is enough to send the US Navy's aircraft carrier formation into the seabed, not to mention

The little Japanese fleet has no confidence in intercepting all the missiles. As long as one slips through the net, they will be doomed.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Bombers are also very important at critical times. Our naval aviation equipment does not have enough H-6Js, and we will have to expand them in the future." Wu Shengli immediately learned from the experience.

"Yes, our J-16 must continue to be equipped."

"Taozi, please analyze it, what will happen next?"

"What's next?" Qin Tao smiled: "Our shipyard is going to be busy again. Lao Maozi will definitely bring the remaining two cruisers over for us to transform, and the shorter the construction period, the better. Lao Maozi may also

Place an order with us for an amphibious assault ship. Fortunately, our Qiongzhou No. 3 Shipyard has started construction and can share part of the construction tasks, otherwise we will be really busy in the future."

Lao Maozi can also benefit from this incident. They feel that they have become stronger again, and they can't wait to resurrect other giant ships.

Anyway, these modification costs are all traded through wood, so they don't have to spend any money.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Zhengyang came over: "Mr. Qin, I just received a call from Damao. They will send people over soon to negotiate with us about the modification of the next two Kirov-class cruisers. They hope that we will do it."

Be prepared."

"Mr. Qin is truly a god!" Mr. Chen sighed with emotion.

"Don't Lao Maozi have four Kirov-class cruisers?" Some people also raised questions.

"Yes, there are four ships, but the fourth Peter the Great has always been in good condition, so it does not need to be modified." Qin Tao said: "The first three ships are in urgent need of modification. They have to thank our Mingzhou Group for letting them

Their cruiser was given a new lease of life."

Lao Maozi called this type of warship Type 1144. Initially, there were seven warships in the "1144" plan, including the first ship "Kirov", the second ship "Frunze", and the "Kalinin"

, "Yuri Andropov", "Dzerzhinsky", "Russia" and "Varyag".

However, when the keel of the fifth "Dzerzhinsky" was being laid, the Red Empire was already on the verge of disintegration, so the fifth ship was dismantled, and the remaining two warships only stayed on the design drawings.

, has never been built, and the first four ships have also been renamed, seeming to make a clean break with the past.

The first two warships were decommissioned in 1992 and 1994 respectively due to poor condition, and were later decommissioned.

As for the third cruiser, which has been renamed "Admiral Nakhimov", its condition is not very good, but Lao Maozi couldn't bear it. From 1997, it was driven into the Severodvinsk shipyard. Originally,

They just planned to replace the old electronic equipment on it, but no one thought that once they went in, they would never come out again.

With Lao Maozi's maintenance technology, he has been tinkering with it for many years. In 2008, Lao Maozi decided to revise its modernization and upgrade plan, and the nuclear fuel on it had also reached the replacement deadline and needed to be replaced and repaired. So,

I tinkered with it for more than ten years.

It was not until the spring of 2021 that the "Admiral Nakhimov" finally entered the mooring test stage, and Lao Maozi did not make a big leap forward. According to the plan, it will not complete the test until 2024 and return to service. A warship modification

After more than 20 years of tinkering, Lao Maozi is the only one in the world who is so procrastinating. In contrast, there is still a large amount of funds. Over and over, Lao Maozi invested 80 billion rubles in this warship, which is about

1 billion US dollars.

The same price is enough for the Mingzhou Group to repair all four warships, and it doesn't cost any money. It only needs to let the Mingzhou Group cut down the trees.

Lao Maozi looks at the Nasimov that he renovated in the shipyard, and then looks at the Razaev that Mingzhou Group helped renovate, and he should know how to choose. They want to support their own shipyard, but it is a pity that their own

The shipyard is not strong enough. The navy cannot be taken advantage of. The navy also needs to resurrect the giant ship as soon as possible!

"By the way, it's time for Lao Maozi's aircraft carrier to have its life extended in the medium term, right? Will it also be given to the Mingzhou Group for renovation?" Someone suddenly asked.

Qin Tao smiled: "That is the treasure of Lao Maozi's house. Why are you willing to send it to us? We don't care. If Lao Maozi is willing to give it to him, it doesn't matter if he doesn't want to. To us, that warship is already

There are no secrets anymore.”

After all, the sister ship of the same model, the former Varyag and now the 16th, is in China. Qin Tao really has no interest in that warship.

"It's a pity that the Lao Maozi Navy ruined all four of their Kiev-class aircraft carriers. Otherwise, let us renovate them and maybe they can be put into service again." Someone expressed emotion.

There are four Kiev-class aircraft carriers. The Kiev has become an aircraft carrier park, which should be the best destination. The Minsk was dismantled, and the Novorossiysk was sold to Asan and transformed into the Super Sun King. Who would have thought of bombing it?

The boiler collapsed and the jump deck turned into scrap metal. The Gorshkov was sold to Tuji. The Tuji is still being renovated and has not been improved yet. It is obviously a failure.

"It's not cost-effective to rebuild old aircraft carriers. It's better to build new ones." Qin Tao said: "If Lao Maozi is willing, he can also order a brand new aircraft carrier from our Mingzhou Group."

Let Lao Maozi order aircraft carriers from Mingzhou Group? This is of course a fantasy, but now I am just joking and don't care about this.

Qin Tao talked a lot about the mountains, and everyone felt happy after having a meal. Even if the day was over, the slipway became lively early the next morning.

Warmly celebrate the launching of Xuelong 2!

Slogans were fluttering in the wind, and countless people stood in front of the slipway, waiting for this moment to arrive. Flags were flying and colorful flags were fluttering. Although Mingzhou Group often launched various ships, the ship launched this time still aroused their special attention.

Pay attention, after all, Qin Tao was present at the launching ceremony of this ship!

The ceremony that Mr. Qin attended must be a very important ceremony, and not only Mr. Qin, but also other people, such as senior navy officials were also present!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Since this ship is for Mingzhou Group’s own use, it is produced and sold by itself, so the customer is itself and the owner is also himself, but the brothers still have to understand
