Great warships

The two looked at each other and smiled, and didn't talk about this topic again. After all, there are many things that don't need to be explained, and it should be best to keep everything silent.

"The Coco Islands have negotiated a 30-year lease. Currently, our infrastructure team is heading to Grand Coco Island. We plan to build all the ports on the island within half a month, so that the island can be docked at any time. All kinds of ships, including warships, then expand to land and build runways."

Qin Tao nodded: "That's right, the faster the better, the port will be built within half a month, is it temporary?"

In Qin Tao's eyes, half a month is still too short. The facilities built in such a short period of time should be temporary. It is a shelf built directly with steel pipes.

"Of course not. We have scanned Coco Island from the sky, made a special [-]D model, and then manufactured a batch of prefabricated parts, which were assembled directly in the past."

If you want to speed up construction, you have to use prefabricated parts, such as building a building. Cast-in-place slabs are definitely not as fast as prefabricated slabs, but the seismic performance of prefabricated slabs is not high, so they were eliminated in the end. At the end, a large number of prefabricated buildings were also built. This is not just the floor, but the entire room is built in the factory. When it comes to the construction site, it can be lifted and installed directly.

Now, if the Mingzhou Group wants to completely control Coco Island and prevent people from making trouble, it must be fast, and if it wants to increase the speed of construction, it can only use prefabricated parts.

Qin Tao nodded: "Well, the sooner the better, the others probably haven't found out yet, and when they find out, the dust will have settled."

Although there are countless reconnaissance satellites in the sky, flying over every corner of the earth every day, not every place will enter the eyes of the ground analysts, and not every place will be taken seriously, otherwise the ground analysts will worn out.

It wasn't until the development of artificial intelligence that it was possible to analyze all the places that the reconnaissance satellite passed by. The artificial intelligence first judged, and if there were abnormalities, it was handed over to manual labor.

It's certainly not at that level yet.

The Cocoa Islands are composed of 17 islands, not to mention those small islands, the most important of which are Big Coco Island and Little Coco Island.The total area of ​​the Coco Islands is 21.56 square kilometers, of which Big Coco Island has 14.33 square kilometers. It is a long-striped island running from north to south. The longest is about 12.11 kilometers, and the widest point is only 2 kilometers. Location is very important.

The early development project was carried out on the big Koko Island.

Of course, Confucius himself led the construction team here. They came from Siam, and the distance is the closest. However, these prefabricated parts were poured from China. After pouring, they were directly placed on Zhenhua Heavy Industry’s ship , not only can be transported, but also can be hoisted on site.

At this time, Kong Laoer was leading his men to work, watching ZPMC's workboat lift the prefabricated parts, they were filled with emotion.

They have built many wharves, and they know how complicated the process is. Not to mention piling, just pouring on site can be a headache. After all, their construction needs to be carried out from the water, and they need to use special steel structures first. The place of the building is isolated from the water. This is called the steel hoop enclosure support system. Support this, drain the water inside, so that the inside is empty, and then lay the bottom form, bind the steel bars, and install the side formwork inside. , pouring concrete, because their working surface is underwater, and they have to worry about watering at any time, it is best to start construction when the tide is low.After all these are done, the side formwork and the steel hoop fence are removed, and the project is over.

What now?Today's buildings are extremely simple, almost like building blocks!
"We are playing Lego." Kong Laoer said with emotion.

They adopted a modular assembly method to divide the dock into standardized components and non-standardized components. These structural parts are mass-produced in the factory. In this way, the dock is equivalent to the construction completed in a land factory, and the site only needs to be assembled to form. pier.

Much faster.

"That's right, what we're working on now are large-scale Lego toys." An engineer on the Zhenhua Heavy Industry ship said: "And, according to our lifting capacity, these components are designed to be as big as possible. At the time of design, the number of prefabricated parts was more than 1000. After several improvements, the number of prefabricated parts currently equipped is only 195, which greatly facilitates on-site operations. Originally, it took half a year for you to build such a pier, right? We can assemble it in half a month now."

Kong Er nodded: "For half a year, we have to use a large number of workers and use multiple working surfaces to carry out construction at the same time. Now, we use this method to greatly speed up the construction efficiency. If we want to talk about infrastructure construction, we still have to look at us. of."

In this regard, Kong Laoer is still very proud.

Time passed quickly, half a month later, the entire Coco Island pier was built, but the outside world still did not find anything, and no one knew that Coco Island was different from the past.

After the wharf is built, the transportation of various materials will be much more convenient. Countless construction machinery can be driven through this port and head towards the island.The port is located in the central part of the eastern part of the Grand Coco Island. From here to the west, a road of about 500 meters is opened to reach the location of the construction airport in the middle of the Grand Coco Island.

Zhenhua Heavy Industry's crane ship can no longer help with direct lifting and installation, and the next step is to rely on land machinery. However, these land machinery are not inferior. The large crane with two rows of [-] or [-] wheels will start soon. Coming up, the chassis of the bridge transport vehicle with [-] or [-] wheels quickly moved up, transporting the prefabricated parts of the land structure sent by Zhenhua Heavy Industry to the airport.

The airport runway and terminal building are also prefabricated. After another half a month, the airport was built. The whole construction process lasted one month, and the first phase of the infrastructure project was successfully completed. Construction of the second phase.

East, Huating Airport.

"Mr. Qin, you have been in danger frequently in the past few months, and your superiors are worried about your visit to Coco Island." Xu Zhengyang said worriedly.

"It's not that I was in danger, it was just a coincidence." Qin Tao said: "At Da Mao's place, he has been proven to be a real alcoholic, and there is no conspiracy behind it. As for Qiu Daxin being sniped, what happened? You know it in your heart. Now, the outside world hasn't paid attention to Koko Island, so why don't I go and have a look? I'm the president of Mingzhou Group, the boss of a multinational group, how can I always stay in the country. "

"But, the Singapore Port Authority..."

"There is a grievance and a debtor. They seek revenge from Qiu Daxin. It has nothing to do with us."

While speaking, Qin Tao's red flag car had already driven to the side of a business jet.

With the development of Mingzhou Group, Qin Tao needs to go out frequently, and it is inconvenient to always take a civil airliner. In addition to the development of the business of the transportation company of Mingzhou Group, he purchased a batch of Xinzhou 60. The regional passenger and cargo aircraft developed on the basis of Yunqi, especially adopted many mature components from abroad, such as Canadian engines, Boeing's in-cab avionics system and so on.

It was originally intended to open up the international market, but it still has not obtained a Western airworthiness certificate, so it can only fly domestically, but it has also sold a lot in places that do not require European and American airworthiness certificates, such as Africa.

The transportation company of Mingzhou Group also bought a batch. They usually do express transportation in China. If Qin Tao needs it, it can be turned into his special plane at any time.

This time I went to Coco Island, it was a bit wasteful to take a big plane. This kind of plane with a maximum range of more than 400 kilometers is just right.

After Qin Tao finished speaking, he got on the plane. Xu Zhengyang frowned there, but he had no choice but to follow.

The section diameter of this kind of aircraft is not large, and even the inner edge part is not enough for tall people to stand up calmly. However, various living facilities have been placed inside, such as a leather sofa, a writing desk, and even a bed, which can be completely comfortable on it. Spend your time in the sky contentedly.

After Qin Tao got in, he lay down directly on the bed, slept in the sky, and arrived there when he got down. However, after waiting for half an hour, the plane didn't move.

So Qin Tao picked up the phone.

"President Qin, they should be coordinating the route, don't worry." Xu Zhengyang said quickly.

"Coordinating the route? If the Mingzhou Group is going out, why don't civil aviation quickly give up the route for us? This is clearly making things difficult for our Mingzhou Group! Hmph, they think our Mingzhou Group is a shipbuilder, so what can we do about it? If I get old, I will form an airline company, sell cheap air tickets every day, and crowd them all out!"

"Listen, what a loud tone!" At this moment, a voice sounded outside.

Qin Tao turned his head and looked outside. The face of the father-in-law appeared first, then his wife, and then several leaders. These guys came up without waiting for Qin Tao's consent. Seeing that there were not many seats on the plane , So rushed to the bed where Qin Tao was lying.

This mattress is so comfortable!

"Hey, what are you doing?" Qin Tao frowned.

"Hey, what's the name, don't you guys have a name?" Wu Shengli gave Qin Tao a blank look: "What are we doing here? Of course we will go to Koko Island together. After Koko Island is exposed, why don't we go again?" Convenient, take advantage of this opportunity to open your eyes."

Qin Tao was speechless for a while: "Don't you guys want me to go out of safety considerations? Why do you want to go now?"

"That's right, since I can't hold you back, why don't we go with you? Okay, everyone is here, right? Now I can fly."

The engines on both sides roared.

Although the Pratt & Whitney PW-127J turboprop engine is installed, the noise is still a bit loud. It is reasonable for the MA60 to be called the tractor in the aircraft. However, for those who are used to flying in military aircraft, It's already comfortable here.

The big guys sighed with emotion on the plane.

"Mingzhou Group is a coward, and there are special planes in and out."

"That's right, Xinzhou 60 bought twenty at a time, your company is really rich."

"It was replaced with a Canadian engine, which is much quieter than our previous turboprop 6."

"The replacement engine is not reliable." Qin Tao said: "It may be out of stock at any time. Can't our domestic relevant institutions develop a suitable engine?"

Hearing Qin Tao's words, the big guys stopped talking and looked at him with strange eyes.

Zhao Ling reminded from the side: "Mr. Qin, doesn't our Mingzhou Group have Tianjiao Airlines?"

Qin Tao instantly understood: "You mean, Genghis Khan Aviation has built an advanced low-power turboprop engine? It seems that we should think about it after we go back."

Yunqi originally used a turboprop 3000 engine with more than 5 horsepower, and later improved it into Xinzhou 60, using a Pratt & Whitney engine with more than 3000 kilowatts. The latter has advanced performance and long service life, but it is foreign after all, and it may It will be affected. If you want to not be controlled by others, you have to manufacture advanced turboprop engines yourself. The power should not be too high, otherwise it will be a waste.

Genghis Khan Aviation is not only an aircraft engine manufacturer, but also has strong research and development capabilities, and it is time to continue to contribute to the aviation industry of the motherland.

"Mingzhou Group is strong. Without Mingzhou Group, our domestic technological development will go backwards a lot."

"Okay, guys, stop talking about this topic, let's talk about it, what are you going to do there?"

"Look at the port, choose a suitable place, and leave it for our warships to dock, so that we will have more places to rest when we cruise in the Gulf of Aden in the future." Wu Shengli said.

This is to take up space. Qin Tao gave the old man a blank look. You didn't spend a penny, so you want to occupy a place as a military port?
Seemingly knowing that this is inappropriate, Wu Shengli continued: "Of course, we will also pay the rent, and the docking of our warships will also drive consumption at the port."

Qin Tao rolled his eyes again: "Is there anything else?"

"There are others too." Leader Li said: "We want to choose a suitable place on Koko Island to install our aerospace measurement and control radar as an overseas base of our aerospace measurement and control network."

Aerospace measurement and control!

Any country that wants to develop aerospace power must engage in measurement and control. The East did not have overseas bases before, and it used aerospace measurement and control ships. Every time a satellite is launched, the aerospace measurement and control ships need to be driven to the corresponding places to undertake tasks, especially some Satellites that need to change their orbits must also pass through the measurement and control ship to issue commands.

The only country in the world that doesn't need it is the northern pickle country. They just launch, and other people will naturally help solve the problem of measurement and control. I don't know how many radars are aimed at their satellites, and I am worried.

Recently, the East has started to engage in manned spaceflight, so it needs more precise measurement and control. For each launch, it needs three measurement and control ships, one in each ocean, so as to cover the whole world.

After all, monitoring and control at sea is not as suitable as on the ground. If the wind and waves are too strong and the ships cannot carry out monitoring and control operations, then there will be big problems.

I didn't have this ability before. After all, I didn't have overseas bases. Now it's different. I have Koko Island in my hands. What else can I say?
"Of course." Qin Tao nodded immediately: "We originally had this idea too. Installing aerospace measurement and control radar on it can not only serve the domestic aerospace industry, but also serve our starship company. We can cooperate to build it together. "

Leader Li nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, this is really great! Let's complete the site selection this time and start working immediately!"

"Well, but I have one more request."

"any request?"

"In addition to accurately measuring the orbit of the spacecraft, this radar must also have the ability to detect aircraft in the atmosphere." Qin Tao said: "After all, our spacecraft has to enter the atmosphere when returning home. Moreover, the detection distance is more The farther the better. If it can reach the pavement paw radar level, even better."

As soon as he said this, everyone present was stunned.

Paving paws?
Everyone is quite familiar with the parameters of this radar. The "Paving Claw" radar code-named AN/FPS-115 is a long-range early warning radar. It is installed in a 32-meter-high multi-storey building and has a detection range of up to [-] for ballistic missiles. Kilometers and above, with two thousand units per radar face, is an important part of the Yankee TMD.

This level of radar has also been developed in China, named 7010, which is a strategic national defense project. It is installed in the mountains west of the capital and embedded in the mountains.The scale is about the same as that of the Red Shore base.

However, the 7010 radar has been abandoned, and no radar of this level has been developed in the future. Now, Qin Tao actually put forward such a high request?
"President Qin, we are not yet capable of deploying this level of radar. After all, we have to develop it from scratch. Moreover, this kind of radar is a huge flat-panel array. After installation, it is very conspicuous and easy to cause misunderstanding. Our aerospace measurement and control radar It is installed in a big ball, the sensitivity is not very high, you..."

Qin Tao smiled and shook his head: "Well, I was too anxious. At present, it is really not suitable to use that kind of radar. Let's install our aerospace measurement and control radar first, and deploy a mobile radar vehicle at the same time. As for that kind of radar, wait We'll talk about it later."

Wu Shengli frowned: "You mean, the range of Ah San's Agni missiles will get farther and farther, which will seriously affect us. We can deploy a ground-based early warning radar here, which can be monitored remotely?"

Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, their aerospace technology is also gradually developing, it seems that we have to find a way, just like their aircraft carrier, dig a few holes for them. However, this kind of thing can't be rushed, it must be slow Take your time."

The people on the plane were chatting, and the plane continued to fly southwest. A few hours later, the plane had already flown over Siam, and Coco Island was in the distance.

This archipelago looks very beautiful, covered with lush trees, a primitive scene, Qin Tao is full of confidence in his heart, he will definitely be able to develop this place in the future, and when it becomes a tourist attraction, what else can the other party choose? prick?

"There are many hills on this island. Just install our aerospace measurement and control radar on the top of the hill." Leader Li has already found a suitable location in the sky.

"It's just that it's not easy to install on the top of the mountain. How can such a large radar be transported?"

"This is no problem, we have Mi-26." Qin Tao said: "If necessary, it is enough to fly Mi-26 over."

Helicopters are the best choice for construction on the top of the mountain. In fact, helicopters can be used for wind turbines, power transmission iron frames, etc., but the flight cost of the Mi-26 is too expensive. Ordinary construction is not worth such a big fanfare. Flying once is more expensive than driving a mountain road, so of course you have to choose the latter.

Now, it is very important to engage in aerospace measurement and control radar, and it is absolutely possible to fly the Mi-26 over.

"The Mi-26 can't fly so far, can it?" Leader Li was still a little worried: "Does it have to be shipped over?"

"Well, it's wasteful to fly directly here. You can remove the rotor and put it into a transport plane. Anyway, the runway here has been repaired, so it can be transported by air."

Transport plane transport helicopter?This is not a fantasy. When the Black Hawk was purchased, in order to reduce the flight hours of the Black Hawk, the domestically modified Yunba was responsible for transporting the Black Hawk to the plateau, which can save a lot of money than flying directly there.

The hatch under the wing engine of MA60 was opened, and the landing gear protruded from it.

This is also an imitation of the structure of the An-24. The landing gear is arranged under the engine, so the wheel spacing of the main landing gear is very large, which is convenient for taking off and landing on the soil runway. This aircraft was originally prepared for the frontline field airport, and the wheel spacing is too large. If it is small, it is easy to turn over, but at the same time, because the landing gear has to bear the impact when landing, the inner part of the wing must be strengthened, resulting in the wing being too heavy.

At the airport, there was already a large group of people waiting, and when the plane stopped, they immediately greeted it.

"President Qin, welcome to Coco Island." Zhang Donghai walked up, full of excitement.

When the Shuangsha Island Fishing Resort was being developed, Lin Liang led the fishermen there and became the first batch of villagers. Zhang Donghai was one of them. He participated in the development of the entire resort together and later became the deputy village head.

Although Coco Island has many missions, it still claims to be engaged in tourism development, so Zhang Donghai came here to be the person in charge here.

Next to him is a burly middle-aged man, with a soldier's temperament in his gestures, but he is not wearing a military uniform. He followed behind Zhang Donghai and extended his arms to greet him: "Welcome all leaders. Please come." Rest assured, there will be no problems with the security work here."

Kong Laoer was behind them. When he was doing construction in Siam some time ago, Kong Laoer often saw Mr. Qin, so there is no grievance now. After the two people in front greeted him, he came up, Looking at Qin Tao: "President Qin, our first phase of construction has been successfully completed, and the second phase of construction is proceeding in an orderly manner."

"Well, we saw it from the sky. The airport and the terminal are well built." Qin Tao said, "By the way, is the power supply still sufficient?"

"Well, it's enough. After the wharf is built, the nuclear power bank will be installed. We have sufficient electricity for the entire island. The air conditioners in the work sheds where everyone lives don't stop during the day."

Nuclear power treasure?
Everyone looked over with surprised eyes, and looked at a container not far away. That thing turned out to be a tall and powerful nuclear power treasure!
