055 has started construction and started construction at a terrible speed. However, it will take some time before a certain country's satellite passes here, it will be discovered that a brand new destroyer is built on the ship platform.

All countries are still paying attention to Xuelong 2. Although Chen's platform is the platform, most people think that this icebreaker is prepared for scientific research, but discerning people can still see that this ship is definitely not for scientific research, but has more important tasks, such as opening up the Arctic route.

Because the Arctic is too cold, it usually drives in summer, and there are more and more cargo ships here. Fortunately, you still have to detour in winter. When the construction of Xuelong 2 is officially completed, you can continue to take the Arctic route in winter. This route is not only closer, but also easy to bypass various risky places.

Oriental is still making strategic plans!

Just as others were wondering the great significance of Xuelong 2, Mingzhou Group once again welcomed an old acquaintance.

"Nicolah, welcome you." Qin Tao said: "Why did the cruiser Razaev come back to China this time? "

"Hmph, there are always people who are wary of the strength of our navy, believing that our strength is threatening them, and what's wrong with us? We have to continue to threaten." Nicholas said: "I'm here this time to coordinate with you. I hope to transform the two remaining 1144 cruisers as soon as possible."

This is the Russians, although they are poor and have no money in their pockets, they are still proud.

"Well, as long as you drag the cruiser over, we can transform it at any time."

"Qin, the Nasimov is still in our shipyard. It seems that it is not very willing to continue to repair the warship itself, so we can only send Admiral Ushakov to the present. This warship is currently dismantling the nuclear reactor. When the power system is removed, it will be dragged over to you."

Their domestic shipbuilding companies were anxious. They originally hoped to rely on the modification of the Nasimov to constantly ask for money from the government, but they did not expect that the government would hand over the transformation work to outsiders. This made them stunned and they also began to complain.

In order to calm their emotions, we can only send the first ship Ushakov, the former Kirov, to the first ship.

Qin Tao nodded: "Of course, we can transform this ship first. When this ship is modified and the Nasimov is still not moving, they can only give up the transformation and leave it to us."

"That's right, that's what we mean, our Navy can't wait." Nicholas said: "We must expand quickly. Oh, if we know that you can change so well, then we wouldn't sell those four heavy-duty cruisers at the beginning, and leave them all to you to change."

Not selling?

Qin Tao shook his head: "With our relationship at that time, even if we had any help with the transformation, I'm afraid you wouldn't agree. You always have a skeptical attitude towards us."

Nicholas also thought, yes, that was the case at the beginning. Even now, many people still have opinions on it, but the boss is on their side this time because the boss also wants a strong navy to realize his former glory.

"Apart from these cruisers, don't you want to modify it?" Qin Tao asked.

Although the Glorious Class is old, it is a gas turbine cruiser after all, so it can still operate. It is still the flagship or backbone of each fleet. There is no need to be modified for the time being. Besides these, what else is there?

Nicholas thought for a moment: "Our Type 956 and Type 1155 destroyers have also been retired. It would be great if these warships could be taken out and modified. Qin, what do you think?"

The Russians have fewer things, so they can only continue to make up for their own assets.

These two models are the Modern and Fearless Class, one is the air defense type and the other is the anti-submarine type, with a displacement of 7,000 tonnes. The Russians wanted to use these two warships in conjunction with each other and become the mainstay of the fleet.

However, many of these warships have been retired now. If these warships are taken out and renovated, will it be faster?

"Let's talk about 956 first." Qin Tao once again started the fooling mode: "You also know that there are 956 destroyers in our country. They were the main warships back then, but now, these two warships are obviously unable to keep up with the times, so we will modify this warship."

Back then, when the Navy was not in the process of reunion, it relied on external purchases to maintain its combat effectiveness. The two modern class and one glorious class were once the most powerful combination of the Navy, but now, there are only occasional pulls out. After all, it is not within the navy system, and many things are inconvenient to maintain, and the Navy is reluctant to eliminate them, which is a bit useless.

After the Glorious Class was launched, it underwent some upgrades and renovations, so there is no need to make trouble for the time being. However, the two modern Classes will definitely go into the docks of the shipyard to continue renovations, although there is no renovation plan yet.

Qin Tao said it at this time, and it was justified.

"What are you planning to change? Do you need to install a four-sided phased array radar?" Nichola was also excited.

Four-sided phased array?

Qin Tao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This thing is too expensive. It is inappropriate for us to install it on an old warship. We plan to remove the two Schickili medium-range air defense missile launchers in front and rear, and install two 16-unit vertical launch devices. In this way, the entire ship will have a 32-unit vertical launch system, which greatly improves its ability to resist saturation attacks. We also plan to install a short-range air defense weapon on it."

The four-sided phased array radar looks very high, but this thing is also very expensive. For the Eastern Navy, this is originally an old ship transformation and is not worthy of big fanfare. It is just replaced by the Red Flag-16.

Of course, the Russians can also transform according to this plan. After all, the Russians also have the Schkili missile hanging system, but if the Russians want a four-sided phased array radar and are not afraid of spending money, they can be installed.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Will such a large warship only installs 32 units of vertical launches or Schkili missiles be a bit waste?" Nicholas asked.

This is also a waste of money. The 054 frigate with a displacement of more than 4,000 tons can carry 32-tube vertical hair, and the modern-class displacement of seven or eight thousand tons also carry so many?

Of course, this was determined by the original design. Although the Russian destroyer's large displacement, the internal design is old and it is not easy to carry. It is easy to make a small modification, but if it is a big modification, it will be very troublesome.

"If there is a major change, it can add another 16 units to reach 48 units." Qin Tao introduced: "Specifically, it is to remove the tail cannon and stuff it into the missile."

The modern-class destroyer is very distinctive. In addition to a double-equipped 130mm naval gun at the bow, it also poked one at the tail.

There are very few naval guns at the tail. Generally, warships set up helicopter take-off and landing platforms at the tail. Because the modern class poked the naval gun there, they could only move the helicopter to the second-deck platform. On the shaking warship, the higher the position, the more violent the shaking it will be. Therefore, under high sea conditions, it is impossible to take-off and land the helicopter at all.

What's even more terrible is that there is only one take-off and landing platform there and there is no hangar. If the helicopter needs maintenance, it will pull out the guardrails on both sides to form a temporary hangar. It is very primitive, so modern-classes do not often carry helicopters because there is no hangar.

For the Russians, it may not be a big deal. After all, the modern-class combat mission is air defense and anti-ship, and the anti-submarine mission is handed over to good friends.

But now, as the strength of the Russians gradually weakens, these problems are becoming more and more serious.

If Qin Tao wants to change it, he can only simply modify it, remove the tail cannon, and poke it in a set of launch devices. This is almost the limit.

However, Nicholas was obviously not satisfied.

"Your destroyer 052 has only a displacement of more than 6,000 tons, and can already install 48 units of vertical launches. They are also regional air defense missiles. Our Type 956 destroyer has a displacement of seven or eight thousand tons. How can we install these? Qin, we need more vertical launches!"

Nikola was obviously not satisfied. He treated the modern-class rag as a treasure and urgently hoped to improve it into a powerful air defense destroyer like the 052.

"If you want more hanging hairs, you need to make big changes." Qin Tao said: "You can show us the design drawings of the 956 destroyer. We may be able to find a way to stuff more missiles into it."

A simple transformation means not to make a big move and complete the modification without trying to move the cabin as much as possible. However, if you want to make a big change, you need to design a detailed drawing and may also need to open up some cabins. This is like decorating a load-bearing wall, which is not something you can do casually.

"No problem." Nikola said: "We will coordinate with relevant domestic units to let them send the design drawings. However, Qin, you have to first summarize and see how to modify them. It would be better if the S-300 missile can be stuffed in."

How to modify it better?

Qin Tao pondered for a moment: "Please come over and take out their design plan."

"Do you have more design plans?" Nikola was very excited.

"It's not a perfect design plan, it's just that their simple design drawings are not necessarily practical."

The first design department of Mingzhou Group has really done this design. After all, the two modern-class domestic ships need to be improved. However, since the navy has already begun to fight against the 052DL, the navy cannot fight against the two modern-class ships. It can only use the simplest transformation method, such as changing the original air defense missiles with vertical launches, and trying not to change them as much as possible.

However, they have also made some ideas about how to change it to enable this warship to achieve greater combat performance, and now they are just taking it out for the Russians to see.

If all the Russian warships were obtained from the East for transformation, then the Mingzhou Group would not only make a large amount of money, but more importantly, it could set up special programs in the warship's command operating system to make it safer. Although this situation would not happen, it would also have to be prevented in advance.

Moreover, the Russian Navy is stronger. If it can match the US Navy, the US Navy will definitely regard the Russian as the first imaginary enemy.

"Mr. Qin, are you looking for me?" Yang Dawei came over quickly.

The 055 plan has been frozen and construction has started, so they have no work at the moment, just focus on the 055 construction. Now Qin Tao has to give them more tasks, so why don’t they do it?

"Well, are there any major changes in the modification plan of our modern-class destroyer? Everything is based on installing more vertical hairs as the top priority?"

"Of course there is." Yang Dawei said: "You wait, I'll look for it."

Yang Dawei opened the notebook, plugged in the Internet cable, and started searching on the server. After a few minutes, the portable projector turned on and pressed the design drawing on the wall.

"This is our design plan." Yang Dawei introduced: "In this plan, we cut off the entire superstructure."

In this design drawing, there is no trace of modern-class shadow, especially the sunburning anti-ship missiles arranged on the side slopes of the ship are no longer visible, and the entire superstructure is almost the same as the current destroyer 052.

All the superstructures were cut off! This was a major operation!

"From the side of the hull backwards, the entire deck is as high as the top of our modernization." Yang Dawei continued: "This creates the best conditions for our modernization. We will continue to retain the modern-class chassis and its mature steam power system. On the deck, except for the naval gun in front, everything else will be completely updated."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Nichola opened his eyes wide, looked at this modern modification plan, and listened to Yang Dawei's introduction.

"You can install it behind the naval gun..." Yang Dawei paused when he said this, and then continued: "Da Mao's current 3S90M vertical launch device can be completely stuffed into it, and a 6*6 launch device can be stuffed into the back of the naval gun."

Mr. Qin asked him to come, it must be to modify the modern-level Russians, so let alone the Hongqi-16 on his side, just say that the Russians' Schkili missile hanging device has been prepared.

There is no need to pay attention to the original hull superstructure, which brings great convenience to the layout of the warship. Just behind the naval gun, you can have 36 units of vertical hair.

Nicholas' eyes were filled with excitement.

"What's behind?"

"The heavy vertical launch device specially developed by you can be installed behind these air defense missiles. When we coordinated the Kirov-class cruiser modification project, you said that you were developing this vertical launch device codenamed 3S14. At present, we don't know the size of this device. If it is small, you can arrange 4 sets of 8 units of vertical launches in this area. If it is large, you can also arrange two sets of 8 units of vertical launches, so that this warship has powerful long-range attack capabilities."

3S14, the heavy vertical launch device that the old Russians are planning. In addition to air defense missiles, almost all kinds of ship-based long-range attack missiles can be carried, and the cold and heat are combined, and the performance on paper is very advanced. It can be stuffed into a series of missiles such as P-800 onyx anti-ship missiles, 3M54 anti-ship missiles, 3M14 land attack cruise missiles, 91RT anti-submarine missiles and other missiles.

The Hyundai class was already very powerful to be able to install Sunburn missiles. It was originally introduced to China and was known as an aircraft carrier killer. In fact, the most powerful thing about the Russians was the P-800 anti-ship missile. It can be determined by the name. The maximum range of this missile is 800 kilometers, which is an anti-ship missile that is more powerful than the previous P-700. It can still cruise at supersonic speeds. If the Hyundai class is equipped with this missile, it will definitely be a shotgun replacement.

If four groups of eight units can be installed, it will be the size of 32 missiles, half of the cruise missiles, one-quarter of the anti-ship missiles, and one-quarter of the anti-submarine missiles, then the Hyundai class is a very powerful warship.

Nicholas's eyes were full of excitement.

"That's great! What about the ship island? Is this a four-sided phased array radar?"

"That's right, it's a four-sided phased array radar." Yang Dawei thought for a while, then the mouse began to move quickly, changing the four-sided phased array originally arranged below into a four-sided small shield at the top of the mast, keeping it consistent with the exit model.

"If you need it, we can provide you with the same type of four-sided phased array radar as the cruiser. If you think it is expensive, you can also replace it with an ordinary top radar. For Schickili air defense missiles, ordinary top radar is enough. Four-sided phased arrays are a waste. After all, good steel must be used on the blade."

Yang Dawei continued to introduce it to the future.

"Behind the chimney, we can also put a set of 6*6 3S90M vertical launch devices. As an all-around warship, this warship still focuses on air defense and has excellent medium-range air defense capabilities. Behind it, there are hangars and helicopter take-off and landing platforms. According to the popular method now, the helicopter take-off and landing platforms are arranged at the end. Because the deck is large enough, a dual hangar can be set up at the back to accommodate two helicopters."

After reading this design drawing, Nikola was excited: "We hope to improve the Type 956 destroyer in this way. After this improvement, we can fully adapt to the situation in the 21st century. This is called 21956."

Qin Tao's face was a little embarrassed. When he went to Damao to purchase modern-level products, the Northern Design Bureau had made a similar plan and also named 21956, hoping to sell this kind of warship to Dongfang. However, Qin Tao knew what Dongfang needed, so he just listened and did not take the bait.

Now, if this plan is spread to the Northern Design Bureau, will they not make a fuss?

"Nicolah, I heard that the Northern Design Bureau also has a 21956 plan. Let's change the name so that they can't think we are plagiarizing." Qin Tao said.

Nicholas nodded: "Yes, those people will have opinions, so what name should we change?"

"How about it called Modern III? According to your naming principle, it is called 956-III." Qin Tao gave a simpler naming method.

"Yes, it's called 956-III." Nicholas said: "You should also hurry up and take out the detailed design drawings of this warship. If you do this, you will probably have the displacement increased, right?"

"As long as there are drawings, we can design it. As for the displacement, it may soar to more than 8,000 tons, and we will try to keep it within 9,000 tons."
