Since he had already arrived at Dagang and arrived at Dagang Shipyard, Hu Wenhai naturally did not have the reason to go to certain places to take a look.

He met his old acquaintance Pan Jingfu again at the Naval Academy, and it has been four or five years since the two sides began to cooperate in 1986. Hu Wenhai used a considerable part of the profits from patent licensing and loans obtained by CSIC to support the Navy's verification ship project.

Later, in 1988, the verification ship No. 100, which had not yet been hotly called, washed into the beach at Chigua Reef and became China's air defense center in the Jiuzhang Reef area, cutting off Annan's claws reaching out to the South China Sea in one fell swoop. Such a powerful situation has undoubtedly stimulated the impetus of the Navy to develop regional air defense ships.

The district defense ship project, which had not paid enough attention to before, suddenly became the heart of the whole navy.

I haven't seen it for five years, and as the research and development center of the naval district anti-aircraft, the Dagang Naval Academy has already changed greatly.

The laboratory buildings and dormitories that have risen from the ground, needless to say, what attracted Hu Wenhai the most was undoubtedly the brand-new warship that was stopping at the academy harbor at this time.

"Is this the Trial No. 1000?" As soon as Hu Wenhai got out of the car, he saw a "warship" that was no different from a warship.

The narrow hull and integrated mast, the stealthy bridge design, naval guns, helicopters and conspicuous close defense systems all show the identity of its warship.

However, this is destined to be a warship that will not go to the battlefield to fight, because it is an experimental training ship.

Pan Jingfu's face was full of red light, jumped out of the co-pilot seat, and replied excitedly: "That's right, this is the test No. 1000." Based on the experience summed up on the Trial 100, after two years of design and development, we finally built the Trial 1000 test ship this year. ”

"With the exception of its full service life, the Trial 1000 was designed and built in full accordance with the standards of a warship. Once our design ideas have been validated on this battleship, the next step is to start building a real battleship. ”

"How about Mr. Hu, are you interested in going up and having a look?"

Hu Wenhai was of course eager to try when he heard this, and immediately nodded and said, "Go, then it will trouble Chief Master Pan." ”

"Haha, Mr. Hu is going to see it, what else is the trouble?"

Pan Jingfu laughed and proudly led Hu Wenhai to the gangway of trying No. 1000.

"Test 1000 ships with a displacement of seven thousand tons and a length of 160 meters, it is a regional air defense destroyer. ”

"If you want to try the technology of 1000, it is thanks to the support of the F-14 and the domestic panda project introduced by Mr. Hu. As soon as Pan Jingfu came down from the gangway, he pointed to the radar array on the side in front of the bridge and said with emotion: "The pulse Doppler radar used in the test 1000 is converted from the AG9 radar of the F-14. Area anti-aircraft missile, also a Sea Phoenix model improved from AIM54. ”

"At the B gun position, we have designed six vertical launch systems that carry 36 Sea Phoenix missiles. There are also two groups in the rear hangar location, and the whole ship can carry a total of 48 regional anti-aircraft missiles. A fleet of four such regional air defense ships can support a complete mid-level defense zone and protect—"

Pan Jingfu finished speaking, and Hu Wenhai was observing the radar and vertical hair system on the ship's hull with great interest. Of course, these devices are not visible from the outside. The radar is in the shape of a protruding shell, which looks unremarkable on the surface. The hair hanging system is a circle of covers, which does not look much different from the manhole cover......

However, speaking of which, Hu Wenhai felt that he looked a little familiar with the deck of No. 1000. After thinking silently for a moment, I realized that these configurations were basically the same as the 052C destroyer!

Pan Jingfu After asking for money and people, Pan Jingfu was really unwilling to repeat the original 052 design, this is planning to hold back a big move to release the satellite!

On the one hand, Hu Wenhai was excited that 052C could come out ahead of schedule, but on the other hand, he was a little worried about whether they could succeed in the Great Leap Forward. In the stall where he was thinking, he hesitated when he heard Pan Jingfu's introduction, and he subconsciously raised his head.

So I happened to see another acquaintance, and Shi Shiran walked out of the hatch of the bridge.

"Four regional air defense ships, which are fully capable of protecting the security of aircraft carriers in the center of the fleet. ”

"Secretary Huang?"

Hu Wenhai was stunned for a moment, and then laughed in surprise: "Yo, it's rare to see Secretary Huang here." How is the chief's health doing? Is he still mentally strong?"

"The chief is in good spirits, and he often talks about you. "Secretary Huang and Hu Wenhai are also old friends, and what he said is not a kind word.

Secretary Huang's head stepped down from the navy for thousands of years and was promoted to the post of vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, which is actually in charge of the work of the armed forces in an all-round way. It was also after rising to this height that I had a comprehensive understanding of the current progress of military research and development, and realized how much effort Hu Wenhai had put into this regard.

Not only the Air Force introduced the F-14, but also supported the Navy to develop verification ships. Hu Wenhai is willing to spend money in the military industrial system, and he is willing to spend money, and he often does not ask for anything in return.

You say that you are a businessman in a private enterprise, shouldn't you be mercenary? How can you do it higher than the consciousness of the old revolutionaries......

But what happened to Hu Wenhai is very convincing. This product is throwing money in the military industrial system, not to make a profit, or to get some kind of umbrella or anything like that - it's just a hobby.

Yes, TM is a hobby. The rich people in this world have a variety of hobbies, some love luxury houses, some love luxury cars and yachts, some love to collect beautiful women, and some love to seek excitement. To say that rich people squander their money really makes people feel that "poverty limits my imagination".

But Hu Wenhai is different, except for a hairy girl who was sent to the door, he has never taken the initiative to mess with flowers. As for luxury cars, yachts and mansions, it is even less in his eyes. Although enjoyment does not delay enjoyment, his energy does not spend much on it.

As for what kind of stimulation he wants to find, he wants to ask the Ouchi master next to him first!

In this way, it seems that Hu Wenhai really doesn't have any hobbies that are too expensive -- it's strange! This hobby is definitely at the level of the richest man in the world.

It's not that there are no rich people who are interested in the military, but that is to collect some weapons and equipment at home. Great, to engage in a private army, throw a few classic fighters of various countries in the hangar, equip a regiment with various main battle tanks, and subvert one or two African countries, this is how to play.

But our Mr. Hu obviously has a much bigger appetite. His hobbies may not be able to fit in his own hangar, and one or two small African countries will definitely not be able to afford them.

His hobby is to "krypton" out of the world's top people's army.

Speaking of which, the Central Committee really seriously discussed whether Comrade Hu Jiefang should be awarded a one-ton medal in gratitude for shaping Hu Wenhai's interests and hobbies......

With such a master who is addicted to kryptonite, the domestic military industry system has indeed been alive and well in recent years. After a series of incidents, Hu Wenhai's strategic vision is also trusted by the upper echelons. So when faced with a difficult choice, Secretary Huang or other old acquaintances will mostly come to the door.

Of course, this is also the biggest benefit brought by Hu Wenhai's krypton gold. Is it possible for such a think-tank role that has a profound influence on the upper echelons to be exchanged for money simply? Ordinary businessmen, throwing billions or tens of billions of dollars, can they make the upper echelons listen to you seriously? Can they stir up hundreds of billions or trillions of resources with your words?

Mr. Hu's investment in this wave is definitely not a loss. Not only is it not a loss, but can Lü Buwei's investment in the first emperor be converted into a return on investment? I can't calculate it, but this will not affect Lü Buwei's investment to become a classic.

Obviously, Secretary Huang appeared in Dagang this time, and he also came with a mission.

"Thanks to the support of Mr. Hu, I don't know how much time it will take to complete the regional air defense project. Secretary Huang sighed with emotion and said with a heartfelt smile: "The chief often mentions that it would be nice if our country could have a talent like President Hu sooner! Thinking about the chief's visit to the United States in the 80s, the Americans looked like they were arrogant, and they didn't have an aircraft carrier ......."

"yes, it's great to have an aircraft carrier. Hu Wenhai rolled his eyes and knew what was going on. He spread his hands and said helplessly: "There are aircraft carriers - it's really amazing." ”

"Uh-"

Secretary Huang was choked and said with a wry smile: "Okay, I know that I can't hide anything from you, Mr. Hu." ”

"The leather shoes of the collapse of the Soviet Union have finally fallen, and some things have to be taken into account. Secretary Huang took two steps back and forth, stood still and said: "The chief knows that Mr. Hu has a relationship in the Soviet Union, and asks you if there is a way to get an aircraft carrier from the Soviet Union?"

"Aircraft carriers, if you ask my opinion, I can get it. However, I don't recommend getting on an aircraft carrier right now!"

Secretary Huang was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't know him, and looked him up and down with his eyes.

Based on Hu Wenhai's past performance, Secretary Huang always thought that he would actively approve of this plan.

Is there anything more attractive than collecting an aircraft carrier? According to Hu Wenhai's usual habit of collecting advanced equipment, there is no reason to see an aircraft carrier and be indifferent, right?

So hearing this answer, Secretary Huang had to ask suspiciously: "Why?"

"Because the Soviet Union is finished, Secretary Huang, where do you think the Americans' eyes will fall next? The banner of communism will be carried by us alone. ”

"We have an old Chinese saying that the husband is innocent and guilty. Aircraft carriers are offensive weapons, if you don't have ambitions, what kind of aircraft carriers are you doing?"

"This, that makes sense. Secretary Huang nodded, in fact, this is also a domestic view of aircraft carriers. Aircraft carriers are a good thing, but can they afford to raise them, and if they don't use them? China will certainly not have a good time in the future, and with the Americans staring at it, isn't it stimulating their nerves that you want to build an aircraft carrier?

"Hey, that's a shame. Secretary Huang shook his head in disappointment and sighed: "The Soviet aircraft carrier, Russia must not be able to afford it." There are three Kiev-class aircraft carriers and one Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier, and I don't know how many will be left in the end. Our Navy, we don't know when we will have an aircraft carrier. This opportunity is really rare......"

"What's so rare about this?" Hu Wenhai pursed his lips and shook his head: "Secretary Huang, you have to see our level of shipbuilding, last year's CSIC production capacity was 5 million, but two or three years ago it was only how much? Give CSIC 10 years, what extent can the production capacity reach? Now CSSC has an annual income of 10 billion US dollars, what about 10 years from now? In the next 10 years, how far will China's shipbuilding industry develop?"

"Give China Shipbuilding Industry a little time--" Hu Wenhai snorted: "It's just an aircraft carrier! We can't always expect any advanced equipment to be imported from abroad. ”

Although Secretary Huang was unwilling, he understood Hu Wenhai's attitude so far, and nodded: "Okay, I will convey Mr. Hu's meaning to the chief." ”

"Hey, Secretary Huang, don't be discouraged. ”

Hu Wenhai thought for a while and said: "The Kuznetsov is definitely no fun, but the Kiev class is actually not difficult to do." Anyway, it is an outdated product, and it can go through formal channels to contract shipbreaking business in the name of China Shipbuilding Heavy Industry. After we get it back, we should dismantle it, but it won't delay us in surveying and mapping and experimenting first, right? Anyway, we won't use it right away, and as long as there are no aircraft carriers, the Americans won't be too sensitive. ”

"Huh?" Secretary Huang thought for a moment and nodded slowly: "This is, Kiev-level...... Tsk, it's still quite chicken. ”

"That's right, it's such an outdated product, let's get it back and accumulate some experience. Although the Kuznetsov could not be physically recovered, there was no problem with various materials for shipbuilding. And it's not just the data, you just want to build the engineers, workers, designers, I can get it back. You know, the Black Sea shipyard is right on the territory of Ukraine. Now in this Ukraine, there is nothing that I can't do. In this way, there are two generations of aircraft carriers before and after, which can at least provide us with an idea. ”

"It's better than nothing. Secretary Huang said this, but his expression was obviously excited.

Just like Hu Wenhai said, with the information of the Soviet Union, give China Shipbuilding Industry 10 years, can't it be thoroughly understood and built?

Good food is not afraid of being late, good cattle do not need to be rushed, this aircraft carrier will still be there sooner or later. Secretary Huang's chief is not the kind of person who ignores the overall situation for the sake of political achievements, and at their level, the most important thing is patience.

"That's the case, I'll go back and report to the chief first......"

Secretary Huang raised his leg to leave, but Hu Wenhai hurriedly pulled him back, blinked and smiled.

"Don't be in a hurry to go, you can't get an aircraft carrier, but the Soviet Union has a big business, and I can't get so many good things!"
