Great warships

For the Mingzhou Group, this year has been a bumper harvest, and many warships have been launched intensively, reflecting their speed.

The aircraft carrier INS Fahd is also one of them.

The big dogs have enough financial resources, but not enough self-protection ability. They had to seek protection from the western world, and even attracted opposition from many people, and had to make concessions on many issues.

Therefore, they must develop. Only when they become strong can they be able to protect their wealth and stand up on many issues.

The aircraft carrier Fahd is a symbol of their strength!
Hearing that the aircraft carrier was about to be launched, the big dogs were very happy. A large group of people ran over to mobilize the crowd. However, when they arrived at the shipyard, the first thing they saw was the Dongfang ship that was being outfitted. aircraft carrier.

That aircraft carrier is so big, so beautiful, so spectacular!

"President Qin, your aircraft carrier has reached the most advanced level in the world!" Salman said with emotion: "I heard that electromagnetic ejection is also used, which is a technology that the West has not mastered."

"Well, the aircraft carrier we build must listen to the opinions of customers. Super aircraft carriers are not necessarily the most suitable for customers. After all, the depth of water, the escorting warships, etc., will have different needs for aircraft carriers." Qin Tao said: "It doesn't mean big or The best is the best for you.”

"Yes, you are right." Salman nodded.

"Come on, everyone, come here and take a look at your aircraft carrier on the berth. This aircraft carrier uses the most advanced design concept. Even the British are copying this design scheme, which is enough to show the advanced nature of our design. "

"That's right, when we saw the design drawings of the British Queen, we knew that the empire on which the sun never sets has indeed fallen. They didn't even have their own design concept, and they had to copy the East." Salman was very pleased. is to agree with this statement.

When the big guy came to the side of the Fahd aircraft carrier, they were all shocked by this big guy.

Although the displacement of the tanker they had seen was much larger than this, the chubby figure of the tanker could not shock them. The aircraft carrier in front of them was different, it was a war machine!

It uses high-strength steel. Although it is sprayed with paint, you can still feel the texture different from the oil tanker. The high upturned leaping deck on the left side of the front makes people feel majestic. The large-area flight deck can be used as a parking area. This is its unique design, and it is the most suitable layout for ski jump takeoff and vertical landing!

Catapult takeoff is too troublesome, and the pilot's feeling is not good, so this layout is the most suitable!
In the middle of the right side of the hull is a ship island.

When participating in the defense exhibition, Mingzhou Group once announced the plan of the tall double-ship island. However, the double-ship island is matched with gas turbines. When it was selling to big dogs, Mingzhou Group did not have a suitable gas turbine. An ordinary boiler is used, so it is simplified to a single-ship island plan, and the ship island is placed in the center, the engine is arranged below the view, and a tall all-electric propulsion system is used.

Later, Mingzhou Group's [-]-megawatt gas turbine was successfully developed, and Qin Tao did not hesitate to sell the gas turbine solution to the big dogs, but the ship island was not modified, and it became a single-ship island plan.

Although the gas turbine requires a large intake and exhaust volume, enough chimneys are reserved, so it can be used without major changes.

At this time, everyone followed Qin Tao's gaze and looked towards the middle of the island, while Qin Tao introduced from the side: "As for this island, the two-ship island and the single-ship island have their own advantages and disadvantages. The use of two-ship islands is a plagiarism of our plan, and at the same time they cannot solve the problem of electromagnetic interference. After some consideration, we think that a single-ship island is more suitable for this aircraft carrier, because it can greatly reduce the deck area and allow more parking space. Many carrier-based aircraft."

"That's right, the British can only learn from the East, they can't innovate at all, and they can't learn thoroughly. To use an idiom in your East, it's called the imitation of the East." During this period of time, Salman has actually learned some Eastern culture, and also speak idioms.

"That's right, it's a mere imitation. In the whole world, our Mingzhou Group has the most advanced aircraft carrier manufacturing experience." Qin Tao said: "Others can only follow behind us, and we also have the most advanced technology. This ship The aircraft carrier is equipped with two [-]-megawatt gas turbines, which can only be developed by our Mingzhou Group. Moreover, we have also installed professional seawater desalination equipment on this aircraft carrier, which can produce [-] tons of fresh water per day when needed , if you have a water crisis, you can use this aircraft carrier as a fresh water factory at any time."

In fact, only the boiler-burning and steam-ejecting aircraft carriers need fresh water the most. After all, it consumes a lot of fresh water. It is not cost-effective to rely on supply ships to supply it. It is better to make it yourself.American aircraft carriers all have such seawater desalination equipment.

The aircraft carrier built for Gou Dahu uses a gas turbine, and it is said that there is no need to extract fresh water. However, because it was originally a boiler, this device is still retained, and it can play more roles.

Gou Dahu is a desert country and lacks fresh water.

"Yes, this aircraft carrier is not a simple aircraft carrier, but a multi-purpose ship for us. It is very important to solve the fresh water problem for our country when needed." Salman nodded.

Looking back, there is nothing to see. The conventional straight deck, the conventional hull layout, and of course the propeller driven by the drive shaft at the tail can be seen, shining golden.

(There is also a saying that the propeller is installed only when it is launched, and it is afraid of the impact when it is launched? I don’t know how to work underwater, so do I have to enter the dock?)
"Everyone, it's almost time. Let's hold the launching ceremony first. How about we go up to the outfitting pier after we get towed?"

"Of course, everything is under President Qin's orders," Salman said.

The familiar platform was built on the berth here. When he walked over, Salman suddenly thought of something: "Mr. Qin, is there no toughened glass from your side on the outside of this platform?"

Qin Tao smiled: "It is absolutely safe in our country, and there will be no accidents. Our east is the safest country in the world."

Salman nodded and walked to the rostrum.

There are only a few invited reporters below, and the flashes are constantly flashing, taking rare photos one after another.Most of the people were shipyard workers, soldiers from big dogs, technicians, etc. They watched Salman take the stage and immediately applauded.

"Two years ago, I was here to announce the start of construction of the Fahd aircraft carrier. In just two years, this aircraft carrier is about to be launched. This is Dongfang Speed, and this is the strength of Mingzhou Group! We see that, Both are also 87-ton aircraft carriers. The French Charles de Gaulle cut the first steel plate in 94 and was launched in [-]. It took eight years! Through this aircraft carrier, we have seen the great progress of the East in the shipbuilding industry. I am also full of confidence in the development of the East!"

Salman looked down, looking bright.

"Besides, this aircraft carrier has already installed a lot of equipment before launching, including the most critical engine." Salman continued: "We believe that by this time next year, we will be able to usher in sea trials. By this time next year, We will be able to usher in the service of the aircraft carrier, this is Eastern Speed!"

"Here, I would like to thank the Mingzhou Group for its contribution to our country's national defense. I also believe that our relationship with the East will be closer, because the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence of the East are truly resolved with a responsible attitude. The approach to world problems is the most fair and reasonable approach, and we are also willing to become good friends with the East."

Salman did not take the speech, and spoke completely impromptu. After speaking, Salman finally took the last step: "Now, I announce that the Fahd is officially launched!"

As Salman spoke, he pressed the button on the stage, and the familiar procedure began. The hanging wine bottle began to fly down and hit the bow of the warship. The champagne bubbles splashed, and the surrounding fireworks began to bloom.

Into the water!

The huge hull began to move backwards slowly, entering the river behind, splashing countless water splashes. Amid the applause of everyone, the Fahd aircraft carrier was officially launched.

"Come on, let's go to the outfitting dock and wait." Salman couldn't finish it.

With the help of the tugboat, the Fahd aircraft carrier came to the outfitting pier, next to the 002 aircraft carrier, which can better show that the two aircraft carriers are different in size. The Fahd is obviously one size smaller, but if it is the same Compared with a frigate that is being fitted out, it is much larger.

After stopping steadily, a group of people stepped onto the aircraft carrier.

The deck has only been painted with primer, and various marking lines have not been sprayed. Standing on it, Salman is very excited: "I think it is absolutely possible to play a football on it!"

"Of course, sailors can not only play football, but also have a barbecue banquet." Qin Tao said: "Grilling meat with the tail flame of the engine is very special, and people will never forget it in their lifetime."

"Yeah, we look forward to that time coming as soon as possible. Now, let's go down and look at the engine compartment first?"

"of course can."

Going down from the ship island, you will come to the engine room all the way. Two huge gas turbines occupy more than half of the space, and there are two diesel engines in the other space.

Regardless of whether it is a gas turbine or a diesel engine, there is no long transmission shaft, but it is directly connected to the cylindrical generator behind. The huge generator looks very spectacular, and there are several square characters sprayed on it: Golden Sun Electric Company.

"This is the first fully electric aircraft carrier, and it will usher in a new era." Qin Tao said, "From now on, you can just use it and leave the maintenance work to us."

With the life attitude of a big dog, he is definitely not willing to do hard work. Of course, this kind of maintenance work is not good. It is better to invite Orientals to maintain it, anyway, they are not short of money.

Salman nodded: "Of course, if you can provide us with some personnel to work in the engine room, that would be even better, and the treatment will be favorable."

"Well, our maintenance and serving on it are two different concepts. I guess it's not enough. However, you have a good relationship with the old bus. You can find some old bus people to help, and we can train the old bus."

The old bus has elite troops and capable technicians, but they have no money, and they are just complementary to the big dogs. Not to mention the marines, even carrier-based aircraft pilots, the old bus can afford it. Anyway, there are many big dogs. There are few pilots, and the two sides just complement each other's advantages.

Salman nodded again.

After coming out of the engine room, everyone continued to come to the ship island, looking at the empty ship island, imagining how the outfitting would look like in the future.

"We will arrange a special console here, with many large screens, and complete digital and information operations." Qin Tao said: "At the same time, as the flagship of your navy, this warship also has the ability to command other warships to fight. Capability. At that time, the entire fleet can be integrated through the data link. For safety reasons, in addition to installing the GPS navigation system, we will also install our Beidou navigation terminal to avoid losing the link at critical times."

Salman nodded: "Yes, our fleet has a high degree of informatization, but there will never be any accidents due to the intervention of some external forces. Fortunately, Dongfang can provide a complete system."

The technology in the East is developing so fast that even Europe has to cooperate to build Galileo satellites together. The East has developed an advanced satellite navigation system on their own. This system has already covered the Middle East and can for their military service.

"As an aircraft carrier, its main combat power depends on carrier-based aircraft. After careful layout, its deck can carry 130 carrier-based aircraft, and its hangar can accommodate [-] aircraft. It can carry up to [-] carrier-based aircraft. The attack capability is very strong." Qin Tao continued: "We have launched the tilt-rotor aircraft project, and when this project is developed, we can also develop the tilt-rotor early warning aircraft. At that time, you will not only be able to use land-based C- [-] early warning aircraft, and can also use powerful carrier-based early warning aircraft.”

The big dogs have plenty of money, so they can fool around a bit more. They not only ordered a large number of fourth-generation stealth aircraft, but also ordered early warning aircraft. At that time, in order to match their system, they specially used C-130 as the airframe platform and developed A medium-sized early warning aircraft.

This kind of early warning aircraft is definitely not able to board the ship. The carrier-based early warning aircraft that Dongfang is developing can take off with a ski jump, but it must be blocked from landing. Therefore, the aircraft carrier of the big dog cannot be operated.

However, Qin Tao has already planned for them: when the [-]-ton tiltrotor aircraft is developed in the future, the big dog will be able to have a vertical take-off and landing carrier-based early warning aircraft!
"Really?" Everyone became excited: "This is really good news! Your tiltrotor is aimed at the V-22 Osprey, right?"

"No, we are more advanced than it." Qin Tao said: "In terms of take-off weight, this tiltrotor aircraft must be able to reach [-] tons, and its range and safety are also greater than that of the Osprey, and the price must be cheaper than the Osprey. It uses more advanced technology than the Osprey. Of course, these are still secrets now, and I can’t introduce too much to you. When our prototype makes its first flight, we can invite everyone to watch it.”

"President Qin, is this project short of money?" At this moment, Salman continued to ask.

Qin Tao's heart suddenly became excited: "Of course there is a shortage of money. The stall we have spread is too big. There is indeed a big funding gap for this project."

"If you are short of money, we can provide you with a sum of money to use as research and development funds for you. After you complete the research and development, this fund will be offset into procurement funds, how about it?"

"Thank you." Qin Tao was very excited. With the research and development funds from Gou Dahu, the progress of the tiltrotor project will be faster. A local tyrant is a local tyrant.

"How much do you need?" Salman continued.

"I'm not too sure." Qin Tao said, "As much as you can provide, just provide as much as you can."

At this time, he really didn't know how much he wanted. If he wanted less, he would regret it. If he wanted more, he might be dissatisfied. He couldn't be greedy.

"Then I will give you 5000 million U.S. dollars in research and development funds." Salman thought for a while and said: "When it is developed, one [-] million, just enough to purchase ten, to meet our needs."

Five hundred million dollars!How inhumane.

"Thank you, Your Excellency Salman. On behalf of the project research and development team, thank you for your support. Even if the price is higher than this price, we will sell it to you at this price. We will let you know that this investment is Excellent value for money."

Of course, Qin Tao remembered that the V22 Osprey was developed slowly, and it was finally purchased by the US Marine Corps in 07, and the purchase price at that time was 1.18 million US dollars.

That's right, it's this price, not at all cheaper than the F35, but the Marine Corps has no choice but to grit its teeth and purchase it. Who knows that only one company has it, and they still need it.

Dongfang will not develop it later than the United States, and the price will not be too expensive. This is the unique advantage of Dongfang. At least it will not be more expensive than V22. The big dog has spent so much money to support it. Of course, it can’t let the big dog suffer. .

At that time, no matter what the price is, it will be sold to a big dog for 5000 million.

Salman nodded: "Thank you, we are looking forward to this aircraft. We are looking forward to the aircraft carrier."

Everyone looked through the portholes and looked at the flight deck below, imagining in their minds the scene where the deck is full of planes.

After getting off the aircraft carrier, the big guy was still reluctant to part. He turned his head after a few steps until he arrived at the guest house for dinner, still discussing the scene after the aircraft carrier was commissioned.

Qin Tao greeted everyone to eat, Xu Zhengyang came over quietly, and said in Qin Tao's ear: "Mr. Qin, Ah San announced the development plan of the Andaman-Nicobar Islands. They want to build it into Hawaii in the east. Develop tourism resources, and also plan to develop ports and airports.”

Qin Tao smiled: "I knew they would take this step, and it's easy for us to solve it. To the north of this archipelago, there is Keke Island. Let's rent this island and do the same development."
