Warship of Great Power

"Natural gas?" Wu Shengli was a little surprised.

In today's era, natural gas is only used in some big cities. As a gas for residents' daily life, compared with gas tanks, it can be used directly through pipelines. You don't need to carry the gas tank up and down, and you don't have to worry about the gas tank exploding. danger.

As for the industry, I really haven't used it much.

Even if it is a diesel engine, it is better than a natural gas engine, right?

Of course Wu Shengli would not know the future development trend.

However, Qin Tao has already made up his mind.

The biggest feature of natural gas engines is environmental protection, and after their Shuangsha Island is established, they can also play the banner of environmental protection, so that they are tall enough.

The nuclear power bank is just an idea, and it will take ten or eight years to build it out. It is not realistic to lay submarine cables from the mainland. It can only generate electricity by itself. Natural gas generators still have many advantages.

For example, if nearby oil and gas resources are developed, maybe a pipe can be directly connected to them, and the energy problem will be solved.

The extracted oil must be refined, and the natural gas is not used. It can be burned when it comes out. The oil and gas resources in this sea area are relatively rich.

Now, Qin Tao has finally decided this difficult problem for the time being.

Of course, it's just an idea now. After all, it will take at least half a year to build the island, and another year or two to build the island. It will take at least half a year before there will be demand for generators. There is no need to worry now.

"The problem of electricity is solved in this way, what about water?" Wu Shengli continued to ask.

water?

The island is surrounded by water, but it is all sea water, which cannot be used. Fresh water is needed. This thing is also a big problem.

"There must be a nuclear power bank." Qin Tao repeated his thoughts: "With the nuclear power bank, we will have a steady supply of electricity, and we can directly desalinate seawater like a nuclear submarine or a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier."

Those rich desert countries build seawater desalination plants directly on the seashore for use in their cities. Anyway, they are rich and not short of money. However, this is not the case on the islands. Without sufficient energy, it is impossible to desalinate seawater.

"It would be great if we could find groundwater there." Qin Tao said with emotion.

groundwater? Wu Shengli gave Qin Tao a blank look.

It's easy for you to say, there is sea water all around, how can there be underground fresh water?

There was no solution to this difficult problem for the time being, so they didn't think about it. The two discussed the construction of military forces on Shuangsha Island, and just like that, it was already night.

After recuperating, Qin Tao and Wu Shengli went to Qiongzhou the next day.

The Tu-104 passenger plane landed gently at Qiongzhou Lingshui Airport.

Qin Tao stood on the gangway, looked outside, and saw the row of pointed fighter jets on the tarmac.

In the era of the J-7, the air intake was still at the nose. The early models of the J-8 also had the air intake at the nose. Only the J-8 2 was changed to the air intake on both sides. Now, Qin Tao is condescending, and you can see the slender The fuselage and the wing of the delta wing can determine its model.

"Can we go and see the plane?" Qin Tao asked.

"The two J-31s are in the hangar. The conditions there are better, and the fighter planes can be better preserved so that they can be dispatched at any time." Hearing Qin Tao's question, Tang Yiping, the person in charge of the base, replied. Qin Tao wanted to see a vertical take-off and landing fighter jet.

The airport here is already located at the southernmost tip of the motherland. Therefore, after the operation on Shuangsha Island, in order to deal with special circumstances, two J-31s, which are modified versions of the Yak-38, were stationed here.

Take off directly on the runway, and after attaching the auxiliary fuel tank, you can fly to Shuangsha Island, and then land there, to deal with unexpected situations at any time.

However, the worst-case scenario didn't happen. However, the two fighter planes have been kept here and carefully maintained.

"No, I just want to see Master Ba."

"Baye?" Tang Yiping felt dumbfounded about Qin Tao's title: "Mr. Qin, this is our most advanced domestically-made fighter jet. It is an all-powerful handsome man in the air. How can it be Baye?"

"Its technology is still at the level of thirty years ago. Even if it is a new factory, it is already old." Qin Tao said: "Don't look at it with a pointed head, but there is no advanced airborne radar inside, isn't it What is Eighth Master?"

"President Qin, how do you know?" Tang Yiping was very curious, why is a warship builder so familiar with aircraft building?

"Because the four missiles mounted under the wings are all combat bombs."

If the warhead of the missile is pointed, it is a radar-guided missile. The pointed head is good for reducing wind resistance, while the fighting bomb needs an infrared seeker, which must have a spherical cover. And it has to be transparent.

This is the biggest difference between the two missiles.

"Yeah, our current technology is not good enough. Even with the advanced airborne radar, our A bomb has not yet been developed and is still useless. However, under the guidance of the ground radar, we can still complete the interception mission. "Tang Yiping said: "Mr. Qin, if you think our equipment is not good enough, would you like to get us some MiG-31s?"

There is nothing wrong with the deployment of the J-82 here, because this type of aircraft is originally a second-generation interceptor, and its slender body is definitely not suitable for high-mobility combat. Now, the airport here is the southernmost point of the motherland. Once something happens, of course, take off and intercept it as soon as possible.

Qin Tao nodded: "Of course, if the navy needs it, I can get the MiG-31 back. However, this thing can't just be brought back directly. It needs logistical maintenance and corresponding missiles to mount, which costs a lot. "

After finishing speaking, Qin Tao glanced at Wu Shengli beside him.

To introduce a fighter, it is necessary to simultaneously introduce supporting logistics support, the entire system. The J-31 is just a makeshift with spare parts, and it is easy to find, but the MiG-31 is different.

Wu Shengli said with emotion: "Yes, we don't have the strength at present."

After all, J-82 is our own, so we don’t have to worry about maintenance. After getting the MiG-31 back, the supply of spare parts is a big problem. In the end, it may be the same as the Tomcat fighter of Anxi.

While speaking, several people walked from the position of the Tu-104 passenger plane to the apron, and Qin Tao could already see the serial number clearly.

The outermost one is 81190, Qin Tao passed by this one, the next one is 81191, and then...

"Taozi, what's the difference between this plane and other planes?" Wu Shengli was a little curious. He didn't expect that Qin Tao would have a soft spot for this plane, and he had been looking at it for more than ten minutes.

It's fine if you sit in the cockpit and experience it, but Qin Tao is just staring at the row of numbers on the nose of the plane, what is this for?

"Oh, it's no different." Qin Tao said, "This is our most important airport, should we get some new planes?"

Tang Yiping was stunned by this sentence: "Our batch of planes are the latest batch of planes that were equipped last year. They still use turbojet-13A engines, and the power is much more sufficient than before."

"Yeah, these planes are too old, but our navy doesn't have the ability to update the fleet. Our navy has limited funds to build warships. If we want to buy Su-27 planes, we don't have the money at all. ah."

If it's the Su-27, it's fine to play with an aerial scalpel, but the handsome man in the air is too inflexible, and the high-altitude and high-speed second-generation fighter Ba Ye is quite old.

"Our navy doesn't need the Su-27, what we need is the Su-30." Qin Tao said: "This is a two-seater fighter-bomber modified on the basis of the Su-27, and its flight performance is similar to the Su-27. , but with a more powerful sea-to-land attack capability."

The Navy has never been equipped with Su-27. In 1996, they started talking about Su-30MKK. However, the negotiations were not completed until 1998. It is said that the total price was 4.5 billion US dollars, which was not a small sum of money. .

However, after these Su-30MKKs entered the navy, they immediately became the backbone of the navy, with a large range, a large ammunition load, and excellent maneuverability. However, before they could be deployed at Lingshui Airport, they...

Thinking of this, Qin Tao felt a little emotional.

"Yes, the Air Force already has the Su-27, and our navy must also have modern fighter-bombers!" Just then, a voice sounded.

Qin Tao looked over and saw a group of pilots passing by. They were wearing flight suits, orange vests were very conspicuous, and they were holding flight helmets in their hands.

"Wang Wei, don't talk nonsense, this is the leader of our navy." Tang Yiping quickly scolded one of the young men who spoke.

Wang Wei?

Qin Tao looked at him.

He is not tall, but he is very handsome, with a small crew cut, a firm face, and piercing eyes.

At this time, after hearing Tang Yiping's reprimand, the young man still did not compromise: "Report, I am not talking nonsense, our navy just needs modern fighter-bombers, especially the Su-30!"

Tang Yiping's eyeballs popped out. Usually, the pilot likes to be serious, and he doesn't even look at the time. Is today the right time?

"Leader Tang, this pilot comrade is right." Qin Tao said: "Our navy needs advanced warships, as well as advanced fighter jets. We must face the reality. We just need it, not right away, even if we don't , our navy pilots will also fly into the blue sky when needed, and fight to defend the sea and air of the motherland."

"That's right, Mr. Tang, this gentleman is right. Excuse me, who is this?"

"Get to know me, my name is Qin Tao, the person in charge of the Mingzhou Group, I admire your sea and air guards very much..."

Qin Tao stretched out his hand while talking, and was held tightly by the other party's hand.

"Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin, I'm so glad to meet you. You did a great job at Shuangsha Island!"

"Yes, Mr. Qin, I am in Zhao Yu, and I admire you very much." Another pilot said.

Qin Tao looked at the young faces in front of him, and felt very emotional in his heart.

Wang Wei entered the aviation school in 1986. After leaving the aviation school, he came to Qiongzhou. Now he has served here for two or three years. He looks about twenty-five or six years old this year, which is about the same age as Qin Tao.

"Leader Tang, can we have a flight meal?" Qin Tao asked Tang Yiping.

"Of course." Tang Yiping nodded: "Let's go together."

Pilots, the pride of heaven, in order to meet the needs of the body, the nutritional combination of food is very important.

As for places like Qiongzhou, seafood is of course indispensable in the food.

On Qin Tao's dinner plate, besides braised pork ribs and so on, there was also a big crab. He sat down with the plate, and Wang Wei and Zhao Yu, one on the left and one on the right, sat on his table. beside.

Tang Yiping shook his head helplessly, this is the style of young people.

Older pilots would be very prudent and would not pester others like this, but young guys are different. When they see the object of their admiration, they will definitely surround them.

Qin Tao looked at the two people around him and was also very excited.

"Brother Wang, there is one thing I admire about you."

Wang Wei was surprised: "Which point? Flying doesn't count, after all, our specialty is flying."

"What about flying? I mean having children. We are about the same age, but your child is older than mine. We are all the same age. Why are you so good?"

Hearing what Qin Tao said, Wang Wei was very proud: "That's because I have a good wife. At the beginning, I witnessed the failure and sacrifice of my comrade-in-arms. After I said that, I came here with the bullet casing necklace I gave her, and later, we got married."

Speaking of this matter, Wang Wei's face was full of pride.

"Let's not talk about family affairs, Mr. Qin, let's talk about the current affairs. We just heard you mention the Su-30." Zhao Yu said from the other side: "For our navy, the Su-30 It is indeed the best choice, especially the version with thrust vectoring, which is more maneuverable than the Su-27 and can perform various advanced maneuvers. It would be great if we introduced that kind of aircraft. "

Qin Tao glanced at him: "Yes, this kind of thrust vectoring engine, combined with the small canards in front, sounds good, but I heard that the nozzle of this thrust vectoring engine can only work for 30 minutes. Hours, I don’t know if it’s true.”

Any new technology will be accompanied by other costs. Lao Maozi's engine life is already short enough, and the life of this nozzle is even shorter. What can you do in thirty hours? If you fly a long-distance flight for seven or eight hours, it will be scrapped three or four times. Even for normal training, you can fly one to two hundred hours a year. That is to say, the nozzle will have to be replaced every two months at most.

Who can bear such consumption?

Lao Maozi is considering the consumption during the war. Anyway, an advanced weapon produced in the factory is shot down in a dozen hours after it goes to the battlefield. Therefore, it is enough to guarantee this lifespan. However, in peacetime, This is the shortcoming that many countries cannot bear.

Hearing Qin Tao's words, both of them opened their eyes wide. Thirty hours, isn't this cheating?

Everyone was speechless.

"We can just use the normal version. After all, for us Hainan Airlines, its biggest advantage is that it gives us long-distance attack capabilities. The long-range advantage of this fighter allows us to fly to the southernmost point and then Fly back again, and you can fly over with two anti-ship missiles." Qin Tao said: "Besides, we don't need to buy too many, we can buy a hundred at most, and then we can produce them in our own country. "

It doesn't take too much, a hundred more?

Wu Shengli, who was sitting across from him, was a little speechless. Do you know how much this hundred is worth?

"However, no matter how much you buy, the first batch will get a part of the score here." Qin Tao continued: "Brother Wang, Brother Zhao, you will definitely be able to fly on the Su-30 in the future."

Wu Shengli opened his eyes wide: "Boss Qin, don't you count such things as you say?"

Of course Wu Shengli knows that if he wants to patrol the southern waters, he must have an aircraft like the Su-30, but at the same time, the northern and eastern seas of the motherland also need advanced fighter jets. The northern part is to defend the capital, and the central part is opposite. The question is, the southern sea area should not be very important, why should the army here be equipped first?

With this batch of J-8s, they can serve for more than ten years.

"Yeah, I said it's not worth it, but if I'm needed during the negotiation, this is my condition. Even if only twelve are transferred."

Wu Shengli has nothing to say, isn't this the first time to Lingshui Airport? Why is Qin Tao so enthusiastic about this place?

Anyway, I don't have any money now, so let's talk about it later.

"Meeting Mr. Qin today, we hit it off right away. It's a pity we can't drink, otherwise, we have to toast Mr. Qin." Wang Wei said.

"Drinks are fine without wine." Qin Tao raised his drink cup: "Come, I respect the sea and air guardians of the motherland!"

"Mr. Qin, we are pointing at you about the plane!"

Three glasses of drinks collided together.

After eating, Qin Tao was still not satisfied, so he took a group photo with these people in front of the plane, and then left.

When we arrived at the guest house, another guest came to visit.

"Leader Wu, President Qin, I am from our Qiongzhou Fisheries Bureau. Two years ago, I proposed the idea of ​​developing our Nansha fishery in subdivisions. This is the map I drew of the Nansha fishery." Lin Liang happily took I showed my picture to the two of them: "In this picture, I found that Shuangsha Island is very special. The salinity, temperature, water quality and other conditions there are very suitable for fish breeding. Become our aquaculture base and fry breeding base."

"Okay." Qin Tao's eyes suddenly brightened: "Our Shuangsha Island Fishery Tourism Village can be handed over to our Fisheries Bureau for development, so that I can be the shopkeeper."

Qin Tao is actually not addicted to developing this village. After all, the scale of the business is too small. For Qin Tao, whose small goal is hundreds of millions, it doesn't deserve his attention.

Since the person in front of him is so addicted to the southern waters and started doing it two years ago, of course Qin Tao has to support him.

Hearing what Qin Tao said, Lin Liang quickly shook his head: "Mr. Qin, we just have this idea, but we don't have the ability to do it. If you leave it to Mingzhou Group to develop it, it will definitely succeed. If you leave it to us, it may be possible. As you know, our procedures are too complicated, and we have to report everything and wait for approval, which is incomparable with your group."

Qin Tao nodded, that's right.

"We're just taking advantage of the Mingzhou Group. Taking advantage of this opportunity to develop it, we can mobilize some people to go there, but they will all obey your orders, Mr. Qin."

"Okay, I can accept this group of people, but I have a request."

Hearing Qin Tao's request, Lin Liang nodded immediately: "Boss Qin, no matter what your request is, we will agree."

"I want you."

What?

This sentence is ambiguous!

Qin Tao originally just played Shen Shen, but after hearing that this sentence might be ambiguous, he immediately revised it: "I want you to resign from your current job and join our Mingzhou Group. You will be the village head of our village."

Wu Shengli's eyes widened. Taozi, you are not authentic. Lin Liang is now the deputy director. You want to push him to the end and become the village chief?

Are you too much?

Even if your Mingzhou Group family has a big business, you can't bully others like this.

Wu Shengli was very dissatisfied with Qin Tao's request.

"How about it, Village Chief Lin, we want to develop Shuangsha Island, we can't just talk about it, we have to put it into action."

Lin Liang nodded: "That's right, Mr. Qin is right. If we want to develop Shuangsha Island, we have to take action. I am willing to take my family to the island!"

"You have a good vision." Qin Tao said: "After we develop it on Shuangsha Island, the output value of aquaculture and fish breeding projects will exceed tens of millions. However, I can't fool you with this, after all Everything is difficult at the beginning, but, as the village head appointed by our Mingzhou Group, our Mingzhou Group will give you a salary, tentatively, with an annual salary of 100,000."

An annual salary of one hundred thousand!

Only then did Wu Shengli nod in satisfaction.

In this era, even Lin Liang, the director of the bureau, had a monthly salary of just over 500, and the sum of all kinds of benefits was up to 1,000. After 1997, the salary would increase significantly.

Lin Liang can earn 10,000 yuan a year, which is already very rare. Now that he is on Shuangsha Island, the annual salary of 100,000 yuan is equivalent to working in his current position for ten years.

This is considered economic compensation.

This guy Qin Tao, don't say anything at first, how about testing his sincerity?

Although institutionally speaking, the village is managed by the government, Shuangsha Island is special after all, and the government is appointing Mingzhou Group to develop it. Therefore, the salary of the village head is paid by Qin Tao.

"Boss Qin, I didn't go for money."

"I know, but our group never treats employees badly. We don't just shout slogans, we have to implement them in action. Other villagers who are willing to follow will have an annual salary of 30,000!"

There will not be many people going up at the beginning, that is, thirty or fifty people, at most one hundred, and Qin Tao can still afford the several million salary this year.

In less than a year or two, aquaculture will develop, and it will be able to obtain a steady stream of profits.

"Moreover, the group will also vigorously publicize that you will be recorded in history as the first person to develop Shuangsha Island and the first person to develop the southern waters."
