Chapter 264 Two Tu-22M

Chapter 264 Two Tu-22Ms

Following the direction of Qin Tao's finger, Zubayev looked over, his expression a little stiff.

"Qin, those planes..."

"Since they are retired, they are just a pile of scrap metal. If we deal with them now, it can also save you space." Qin Tao said: "Anyway, they are all broken..."

Pah!

At this moment, an envelope fell to the ground.

Qin Tao picked it up: "Zubaev, my friend, you dropped something."

Zubaev took it in surprise, opened the envelope and saw a pile of US dollars inside.

"Well, they are all going to be dismantled anyway, and two more Tu-22Ms are no problem." Zubayev finally changed his tone. On the one hand, it was because of money, and on the other hand, it was because of dismantling.

No one would care why there were suddenly two fewer Tu-22Ms here. Anyway, they have been retired, and the lack of various equipment is normal. At most, the others will be dismantled and cut into pieces. Who will count how many there are? There are too many ways to cover up.

As for leaking secrets, these planes have been in service for more than 20 years, and the technology on them is outdated. The only thing that needs to be kept secret is the latest Tu-22M3.

At this time, a rumbling sound was heard, and an excavator had been driven up.

Excavators have always been versatile. With a bucket on the arm, it is an excavator. With a hydraulic drill, it can demolish a house. Now with hydraulic scissors installed, it can demolish an airplane.

Zaitsev stood at the door of the excavator, and there was another person operating it inside. It rumbled to the front of a Tu-22 bomber, and then the hydraulic scissors stretched out.

The originally majestic bomber, in the face of such violent destruction, was submissive. Amid the sound of metal friction, the nose was cut off and fell to the ground, followed by the wings on both sides, and then the tail.

Generally speaking, this method is used to dismantle airplanes. It is quite efficient. Soon, a Tu-22 bomber was cut into pieces. It is absolutely impossible to restore it.

The disassembled rags can be transported to the port, loaded onto the retired supply ship that Qin Tao liked, and towed away together.

The second, third, and one Tu-22 after another disappeared just like that.

The two Tu-22Ms sold by Zubayev will eventually be dismantled in this way, and there will be no problems. Zubayev was relieved to see the Tu-22 being dismantled.

At this moment, an adjutant ran over and said a few words to his ear.

"Qin, I still have some things to deal with. Do you want to stay here and watch?" Zubayev asked.

"Yes, I like to see this kind of scene. It's so spectacular. Zubayev, my friend, go and get busy." Qin Tao said.

As Zubayev left, Qin Tao strode towards the excavator that was being dismantled.

"Hey, brother, are you tired? Shall we have a drink?"

Over the port, clouds of black smoke rose up, and the Minsk restarted its boiler. This huge warship began its last journey relying on its own power. Although it was slow, it was still able to move.

Li Jinshan watched the warship leave, his eyes full of expectations.

The only regret was that the Russians would not let them go up, saying that it was dangerous. The Russians were responsible for driving the warship to their shipyard before handing it over.

Anyway, such a huge iron lump could not be lost, so Li Jinshan agreed.

"Chairman, the money has been collected." Park Douxuan quietly approached his ear and said.

"Well, I'll give it to you. Bring the information back."

"You won't participate in the transaction in person?"

"We've met too many times, and the Russians will find out." Li Jinshan said, "I'll come back immediately after the transaction."

"Yes."

The transaction that night went very smoothly. After Park Douxuan got the hard drive that was used to store the design drawings, he immediately put it into a recorder that had been prepared long ago, and then successfully passed the customs inspection and flew back to South Kimchi.

What surprised Park Douxuan was that Qin Tao did not show up either. He and Cong Ju had a direct transaction.

Qin Tao was also busy.

He got the excavator operator drunk, bribed a group of ground crew members in advance, and quickly dispatched to disassemble the two Tu-22Ms. After the wings, nose and tail were disassembled, the plane became inconspicuous, and then placed it in a pile of Tu-22 bomber rubbish, not at all.

As for Zaitsev, after receiving the same envelope, he went to drink with the excavator operator. When he came back, everything here had been settled.

Qin Tao got off the excavator: "It feels so wonderful to be able to dismantle them with my own hands."

Zaytsev nodded.

For Qin Tao, these were all by chance. Since there was an opportunity, he couldn't let it go.

Qin Tao returned with a full load.

A certain abandoned area, an abandoned warehouse.

Some technicians were excitedly studying how to assemble the planes.

"These planes were just retired from the Russians." Qin Tao said: "In terms of technical status, they should be able to fly at any time, but since we have no source of parts and lack of guarantees, these two planes can only fly occasionally. It is still difficult to officially equip the troops."

Equipment like airplanes is very difficult to maintain. Not only do you need airplanes, but you also need strictly trained pilots, and you also need dedicated ground crew. Even if you find a meritorious pilot from the Navy, you may not be able to fly it. Well, we have to wait until Qin Tao comes back to have professional Tu-22M pilots and related ground staff.

"Taozi, we've got the plane, what's wrong with the parts? As long as you take the time to go north, you can get a batch of parts back." Wu Shengli said excitedly: "This is not a difficult problem at all. "What we have to worry about is how to explain the origin of these two planes."

Wu Shengli rubbed his hands while talking, and beside him, the experts who hurried over were also very excited.

"Leader Wu, we have two of them, but we can't fly them frequently. Can we take one of them to our 172 Factory and disassemble it for surveying and mapping?" Someone made a suggestion.

In order to be discovered, you can't just fly around, so you might as well get it back to the factory and map it out!

Among the divisions of labor among various aircraft factories, Factory 172 builds large aircraft, and the H-6 comes from Factory 172. The Feibao currently under development is also a prototype that was assembled at Factory 172. This large aircraft is simply tailor-made for them and the supporting research institute!

Disassembled the surveying and mapping imitation?

Wu Shengli was also tempted.

The Flying Leopard is still undergoing test flights. At present, the only thing the navy can rely on is the long-obsolete subsonic bomber H-6. On the modern battlefield, the survival probability of the H-6 is very low.

The aircraft in front of me was a supersonic bomber. Its bomb load and flight speed far exceeded that of the H-6. Moreover, this special model for naval aviation was originally equipped with anti-ship missiles.

If our own side has this kind of aircraft, we will have more confidence in dealing with potential enemy aircraft carrier formations!

Thinking of this, he looked at Qin Tao: "Taozi, what do you think?"

After all, Qin Tao got this plane back, so Qin Tao's opinion must be listened to.

"If we could go back twenty years and have a chance to get this kind of bomber, of course we would have to map and imitate it. But, everyone, it's the 1990s now! The low-altitude supersonic penetration tactics of the Cold War have long been outdated. !”

Qin Tao didn't want the development of domestic military industry to be distorted because of his own reasons. Although he was a shipbuilder, he also knew the development route of bombers.

"out-of-date?"

"That's right. Which powerful country doesn't have a few early warning aircraft now? What's the use of ultra-low-altitude penetration? It doesn't have to be watched by other people's early warning aircraft."

"so what should I do now?"

"Needless to say, in last year's war, which aircraft was the most famous?"

"Mr. Qin, you mean, stealth aircraft? Stealth bomber?"

Qin Tao nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, it is a stealth bomber. For us, mapping and imitating this kind of aircraft will be completely outdated after ten or eight years. If we want to catch up with the trend of the times, we have to overtake in a corner. , when our Flying Leopard is ready, the next aircraft will be a stealth bomber. "

"Forget about an attack plane. How can a bomber be invisible even if it's as big as a bomber?"

"That's right."

Qin Tao's attitude is quite certain and cannot be doubted.

"Yes, since the F-117 can be invisible, then bombers larger than it can also be invisible. The future era will belong to stealth aircraft!" After hearing the exchange here, an old man also came from the plane. Come join in the fun.

He was thin, with white hair, and his eye sockets were sunken because he often stayed up late. When he saw this man, Qin Tao sighed with emotion: "Mr. Chen, although you are old, you have the broadest horizons."

Of course Qin Tao knows this person, he is Feibao's designer, Mr. Chen!

When developing the Flying Leopard, Mr. Chen requested the use of computer-aided design for the first time. Mr. Chen, who was in his fifties, had never been exposed to computers before, so he began to teach himself and then became a computer-aided aircraft design and manufacturing expert at the Ministry of Aviation Industry. and chief engineer of the management system.

He teamed up with more than 40 university professors and scientific researchers and spent 5 years developing the most integrated computer-aided aircraft design system at the time, which won the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award.

After Feibao, domestic aircraft design entered the era of computer-aided design, more than ten years earlier than the national requirement to get rid of the drawing board.

As an aircraft designer, he had to personally develop the computer-aided design system for the aircraft. This alone is admirable enough.

In the past, all domestic aircraft were imitations. Only Feibao was the first brand-new aircraft independently developed by itself. Even if the current Feibao has not yet been finalized, it is still admirable.

"Back then, we also had a variable swept wing, but the technology was weak and there was no successful model. Now, the variable swept wing is outdated, with side strip wings, wing-body fusion, overall lift body layout, and stealth Technology, these are the trends in the new aviation field. We really don’t need to imitate the backward variable sweep wing.” Mr. Chen continued: “However, there are many things on this aircraft that are worthy of our study, such as. Its navigation and attack systems, like its engines and so on."

The engine of the Tu-22M2 is the NK-22, which is an improved version of the NK-144. Looking at the photos, you can see that people can easily stand inside the engine and know how big it is.

This engine has a thrust of 215.7 kilonewtons at full afterburner, and its performance is quite incredible. As for the NK-321 type used in the later Tu-22M3, it not only saves half the fuel consumption than the NK-22, but also has a higher thrust. Increased to 245 kN. The latter is not only used on the Tu-22M3, but also on the Tu-160.

Thinking of Tu-160, Qin Tao had some regrets.

Are variable sweep wings obsolete? It depends on what kind of aircraft it is. There is no need to copy the Tu-22M. If you can get the Tu-160, it is definitely a dream.

However, those white swans are not ignored like the Tu-22M. Most of those strategic bombers have landed with Er Mao, but Da Mao has been watching. He wants to get those aircraft under Da Mao's nose. It is difficult to board them. sky.

In the future, we can only look at opportunities. Now, having two Tu-22Ms is quite enjoyable.

"Yes, if our aviation industry can imitate this engine, our future stealth bombers will have mature engines that can be used."

"Mr. Qin, are you so sure that we can have stealth bombers in the future?" Mr. Chen asked curiously.

"Of course, in another twenty years, we will have everything." Qin Tao was sure.

"Taozi, what role can these two aircraft play?" Wu Shengli was confused by Qin Tao's words. He brought the Tu-22M over, but it couldn't be used openly, just to copy some subsystems. ?

"When necessary, you can use it to scare people." Qin Tao said lightly.

When necessary, use it to scare people?

Wu Shengli was confused, but Qin Tao did not explain further, and Wu Shengli did not ask further questions. He let Qin Tao make up his mind first, and he would find out later.

"Those dismantled Tu-22 bombers have complete engines. It would be great if we could put those engines into our H-6." Some people also have the idea of ​​​​those Tu-22 bombers.

"If you are interested, all these engines can be given to you. If you still need them later, I can continue to get them." Qin Tao is very generous. Anyway, there is nothing important about the Tu-22 bomber. Can get it.

The H-6 needs to be replaced with an engine, but it is using a D30K and has not used the Tu-22 engine. If these technicians want to make trouble, Qin Tao will of course give his full support.

After the handover was completed, Qin Tao came to the office and crossed his legs comfortably. Wu Shengli, who was sitting beside him, spoke.

"Lao Maozi, are there still two modern-class destroyers that have not been completed?" Wu Shengli said to Qin Tao.

"Well, I've seen it. The quality is pretty good and there's no problem in building it." Qin Tao nodded: "It's just that after all, it was designed by Lao Maozi at that time, and some of it no longer meets our needs. By the way, I asked them to improve it. one time."

Qin Tao has long been interested in those two warships and will never let them go.

Wait, my father-in-law’s expression is wrong!

"Appropriation issue?" Qin Tao asked tentatively.

Even if the price is reduced from 400 million to 160 million, it is still a sky-high price for the navy. Two ships cost more than 300 million, and special allocations are required. How can the country get so much money.

Wu Shengli nodded.

"Taozi, can you..." Wu Shengli asked tentatively, but shut up before he finished the question.

What can you do? Let Mingzhou Group pay in advance? That’s hundreds of millions!

Continue to bargain? If he could, Qin Tao would have bargained for it long ago.

Therefore, Wu Shengli was embarrassed to put forward the request.

Qin Tao shook his head: "Since the country can't come up with this money for the time being, let's wait for a while. Anyway, there is no other customer who wants those things except us. Let me wait for a while to prevent them from feeling that they have it in their hands." It’s a treasure and I want to sell it at a high price. When we get some stimulation later, the country will have money.”

It's not okay now, I haven't been stimulated, and I can't bear to part with it. After all, I'm used to being poor.

Wu Shengli nodded. It seemed that this was the only way to go. Don't be anxious and take your time.

"However, there is no problem in purchasing the 40,000-ton supply ship and the icebreaker." Wu Shengli said another thing.

They are also boats. On the one hand, they are urgently needed, but on the other hand, they are cheap enough.

The total cost was only 30 million, and one of them was prepared for the Antarctic scientific expedition team. Therefore, it was not difficult to buy it in a package, and the superiors approved it.

"The supply ship is a semi-finished product. We have purchased relevant ancillary equipment. When we came back this time, we also bought a decommissioned supply ship." Qin Tao said: "The modification business of this supply ship is left to us, and the navy has nothing to do. Opinion?"

Wu Shengli nodded: "Yes, the relevant procedures were quickly completed and assembled in your Mingzhou."

Destroyers and frigates all require bidding, but from the beginning to the end it is the supply ships promoted by Qin Tao. Which other shipyard dares to be jealous?

Mingzhou has built modern comprehensive supply ships and accumulated experience. In the future, if the Navy wants to order new comprehensive supply ships, it is logical that Mingzhou will be chosen.

Qin Tao was very satisfied with his father-in-law's answer. Just when he was about to continue discussing something, the big brother rang.

"What? Someone from Dazhou Company came and called us liars?" Qin Tao immediately became furious: "Call me back! Yes, call them back! I'll go back soon. I want to call them a bastard in person!"

This transaction took several months, and both Da Mao's Pacific Fleet and Qin Tao's Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group made a lot of money.

Wealth does not come out of thin air. Who suffered a loss in this business?

The 30 million yuan that Ah San paid in advance will definitely not be refunded, and the 80 million yuan bid money of Dazhou Company will not be refunded, and the 20 million yuan for buying the design drawings cannot be refunded. Therefore, if you want to say that the one who was cheated the most, it must be Dazhou Company!

However, there is a head for the wrong and a debt for the owner. You can go to Da Mao to protest! What kind of ability is it to come here and curse in the street?

A strange scene appeared at the gate of Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group.

Several people with the same yellow skin and black eyes stood at the gate and cursed at the inside, but because they spoke in a bird language, the people watching nearby had no idea what they were cursing. At the gate, a row of local shrews from Mingzhou stood, and they spitted and cursed happily.

What to do when someone comes to scold you? Of course, scold back! Moreover, find a professional who can scold you in a set way.

Both sides were red in the face and yelled at each other from a distance of several meters. It seemed harmonious and friendly, only scolding but not fighting.

When Qin Tao's Mercedes-Benz G drove to the door, the two groups of people who were scolding stopped. Pu Douxuan took two steps at a time and ran towards the Mercedes-Benz G, shouting loudly: "Boss Qin, you are too much! You are so hateful!"

"Puh!" Qin Tao spit a mouthful of sticky phlegm on Pu Douxuan's face. Although he didn't understand what this guy said, his expression was too unfriendly. What else could Qin Tao say? A gentleman uses his mouth instead of his hands. Now we are using our mouths.

Wow! A basin of cold water was poured out from the car and hit Pu Douxuan's head. He was dumbfounded. Is he going to fight?

"If you want to continue to perform the technology transfer agreement for the gas ship, then be honest. If you get too excited, just pour a basin of cold water on yourself and sober yourself up." Qin Tao left this sentence and left.

The two sides still have a deal! Although the technical data of the gas ship has been transferred, the training of skilled welders still needs the efforts of Mingzhou. The other party came here to argue. Do you still want to continue the cooperation?

Park Douxuan wiped the sticky phlegm on his face, feeling extremely disgusted, and the cold water was still dripping down his hair.

The translator ran over and helped him wipe it while translating Qin Tao's words. Park Douxuan suddenly sobered up and felt a burst of regret in his heart.

How did things develop to this point?

The Minsk was driven to the port of Dazhou Company. The Russian sailors got off the ship neatly and left, and even did not attend the dinner. At that time, they praised the Russian sailors for their strict discipline. Now they understand that they are afraid of being beaten if they stay!

It was already dark. The next day, a large number of company technicians and high-ranking naval officers came to visit the giant ship.

Li Jinshan was so happy that he even enlarged the modified design into a promotional screen and hung it on the bridge, looking forward to the completion and commissioning of the warship.

As a result, when they excitedly came to the power cabin, everyone was dumbfounded. They couldn't believe their eyes. Five of the eight boilers exploded. This was just scrap metal!

The navy left angrily, Li Jinshan fainted on the spot, and Park Douxuan flew to Mingzhou on the same day in anger to ask for an explanation.

Even with a translator to buffer, they couldn't control their anger in the end. The two sides quarreled, and then quarreled for two days.

Now, what should he do?

"Go back, change clothes, and then we'll negotiate with President Qin."
