"Your Highness, may I ask if you want to rent or buy?"

"Buy it. "Prince Bandar felt that instead of spending $15 million a year on a loan, it would be better to buy it outright, lease it for eight years, and buy it for twenty or thirty years.

It's not good for combat, so it's used as a training ship.

"Lend-lease. But we want to be on loan for three years, not one. Lafata retorted to the Prince's words.

Such a backward frigate can only be used as a training ship.

Three years, that's enough.

When the time comes, the recruits will first train and acclimatize on this warship, and then go on their own warship.

Later, there will be better and bigger warships, which are bought from China and used as training ships.

"Then let's rent. Three years. The prince changed his tune.

"Three years is three years, but you have to pay first. We will immediately start the refit, and the officers and men of your country can send it over. "There is no difference between a one-year lease and a three-year loan.

Anyway, give the money first, $45 million, the price of three H2s.

When the time comes, people will have to return the warship, right?

So, the two sides signed the contract again.

"You kid is really a goose plucking feathers, and mosquitoes fly over to pull someone's leg. That's it, on loan, $15 million a year!" Zheng Yucheng looked at the amount of 45 million on the contract and had to sigh.

Xie Kai was not satisfied, "It's a pity, they are unwilling to lease the supply ship." ”

"Be content!" Wang Guilin also smiled with wrinkles on his face. "Other countries have not been so expensive to lease large warships. ”

"Can other warships train and directly operate the H3 they purchased?" Xie Kai pouted and said, "Besides, the supply ship will accompany you on a trip, and it won't cost you? From the Chinese sea to the Arabian Sea, this supply ship is given away for free!"

Zheng Yucheng and Wang Guilin didn't want to talk to Xie Kai, and threw him a roll of the eye.

"Okay, Uncle Wang, I have to trouble you to make a trip to this matter, and you must ask Hudong Shipyard to install the flying shield system within a month. Xie Kai said.

In the previous H3 design, it was not only necessary to consider the installation of the Flying Shield air defense missile system, but also the installation of the ground red flag launch system.

It's been working on the design for months, and it's not too much of a problem.

"Although you can make money, you are constantly increasing the difficulty for our design team and shipyards, and I guess the naval equipment will have to complain again. Wang Guilin sighed.

In a month's time, it is necessary to add one or even two sets of air defense missile systems to the warships that have already been finalized......

"Just kidding, how can you do it in a month? H2's current superstructure is already very crowded!" Zhou Zhenbo jumped, "It's impossible to complete the production and manufacturing." ”

"Design-wise, we couldn't finish it either. Wang Hengyuan shook his head and said to Gu Baonong and Li Qingmin, and he couldn't even explain.

In a month's time, it was impossible to complete the transformation requested by the other party.

Even the small number of radars has just completed the problem of electromagnetic compatibility, so as to avoid the interaction of many radars at the same time.

"$45 million in fees. Li Qingmin said, "The price of three H2s." ”

"Leader, even if it's $450 million, we can't do anything, whoever has the ability, who comes, we can't do this anyway. Wang Hengyuan's heart was very angry.

Engaging in technology is not about planting Chinese cabbage, the seeds are thrown into the ground, and they will grow on their own.

On the anti-aircraft missile system!

It is necessary not only to increase the fire control radar, but also to solve the data channel of the entire control system, and even to make room for the missile system.

The H2 superstructure is almost empty anymore.

"Leader, this thing is really not easy, our H3 design, now we have encountered a big problem, or continue to increase the tonnage, but the shipyard has laid the keel and started to build the main structure......," Zhou Zhenbai said.

Increasing the tonnage, making the battleship longer and wider to increase the deck area, this method is no longer working.

Issues such as electromagnetic compatibility also need to be considered.

H3 adds not only anti-aircraft missiles, but also surface-to-surface missiles!

Each type of weaponry needs to have a newly added supporting radar.

Unless a set of comprehensive performance can be developed in a short period of time, it can be used comprehensively for air defense, ground, and anti-ship.

Active phased array radars will do.

But now, how can the domestic set of radars, which can only be installed with hundreds of wagons, be installed on warships with a displacement of just over 2,000 tons?

"Leaders, with money, can solve a lot of technical problems, after all, many technologies can make breakthroughs as long as they continue to experiment. But it can't solve all the problems, the experiments that should be there are indispensable, and no matter how much money you have, you can't solve them in a short time......" Wang Hengyuan only dropped such a sentence, and turned around and went to the design room, they have been in the design room for several months, let alone vacation, and they have not even returned home.

Food, accommodation and everything are in the design room.

Originally, what Xie Kai said seemed very simple, but when he started to build the model, he found that it was too difficult to have theoretical data.

6 warships, $1.2 billion, which is something that no Chinese unit can refuse at present.

"What is the matter? Merchant ships and everything, you still have to count on them. Gu Baonong asked Li Qingmin.

Li Qingmin knew what he meant, and if he wanted Hudong Shipyard to have greater development, it must have stronger technical strength in the field of warship manufacturing.

None of the largest domestic warships, 051, were built by them.

701 is the largest warship design and research unit, they do not have subordinate shipyards, but the warships designed there are all given to other shipyards by the naval equipment.

If you want to take 052, or 055 in the future, or even China's first aircraft carrier, the dockyard must continue to expand, and the supporting facilities must also be done well.

More importantly, it must have the policy support of the superiors.

The Navy has a construction plan, which has to be allocated by the Naval Equipment Department, and the Hudong Plant has always been engaged in small frigates, and only relies on the 404, which has a good relationship with the Naval Equipment Department, to get the construction order.

"Tell me the truth. Otherwise, we promised that it would be a matter if we couldn't do it, and they would ask them to find someone to solve it for a month. The 701 side can't be solved for a month. Li Qingmin's face is not good-looking.

Now the H3 is being designed and built at the same time, and six ships are being built at the same time.

It's already terrible.

Fortunately, the interior cabins will not be changed much.

"Can't solve it in a month? There is no space to install anti-aircraft missiles?" Xie Kai asked puzzled when he saw Wang Guilin's ugly face, "Didn't they all say that there was no problem before?" Now that many months have passed, and all kinds of systems have to be prepared for ground debugging. ”

"There are problems in the design, electromagnetic compatibility is not easy to solve, there is not enough space on the deck, and there are anti-ship missiles and anti-aircraft missiles on small warships of about 2,000 tons, as well as missiles for ground attack, instead of using space-saving vertical launch systems...... Wang Guilin knows the situation at the Hudong shipyard.

The profit of $425 million has been loaded into the small treasury of 404.

You can't tell the people in Saudi Arabia that we can't handle it, let's deduct the money......

Or tell the other party that there is a problem on our side and we need to delay the delivery......

"What now? The people are gone, and they are about to send people over. Xie Kai was also in a hurry.

If there is a problem in one link, all links will be affected.

Saudi Arabia is happy to give money, and if the delivery here is not happy, it will be troublesome at that time.

"Let's go right away, go over there and find out what's going on. Wang Guilin had to take it personally.

Xie Kai didn't want to go, now there is nothing for him to study the economic news of Europe and the United States, it is more important.

Wang Guilin naturally didn't let him get his wish, saying that everything was done by Xie Kai, and if he didn't go, he couldn't do it, so Xie Kai had to go to Hudong Shipyard with him.

The Yun-10 aircraft is approaching the safe service life, and a new one has not yet been produced.

Neither Xie Kai nor Wang Guilin had anyone to talk about this.

Solve the immediate problems, and only then can Yunshi have money to continue to develop.

Large aircraft and fighter jets, etc., key technological breakthroughs, other aspects of the problem is not too big, at least the basic framework can be made, and then to improve performance. A lot of money is needed, but now, there are problems that make their projects face a shortage of funds.

After the contract was signed, almost all the research projects under 404 were funded by an additional amount of money, requiring the progress of the project to be accelerated.

They are not blindly asking, but giving money to the research team to speed up the experiment, obtain the data, and continue to improve and continue the experiment.

Previously, various research teams, in order to save money, were constantly using supercomputer modeling simulations, and then using wood models to verify, although the cost was low, there were many experimental data that could not be obtained.

There should be experiments, that is absolutely indispensable.

A lot of data has to be modeled and even installed with equipment to be verified.

Xie Kai knows better than anyone how expensive technology research and development is.

Because the country is accustomed to poverty, the cost of various research and development is much lower than that of Europe and the United States, and even lower than that of the Soviet Union.

If the Soviet Union wants to develop a technology, it will be smashed out regardless of the cost, the most obvious is the MiG-25, the only fighter in the world that has reached the performance index of double 3, which is completely a stainless steel shell with an engine, and it does not have much combat capability at all.

can run 3 Hz, many air-to-air missiles and anti-aircraft missiles can't catch up, what are you afraid of?

"What's the specific situation?" When the plane landed, Li Qingmin and Gu Baonong personally picked up the plane, and when they saw Xie Kai coming out with Wang Guilin, they knew that it was this kid who did it again.

Before they could speak, Wang Guilin asked in a serious tone, "Didn't you say there was no problem before?"

"Director Wang, there is always a big gap between theory and practice. Li Qingmin hurriedly explained.

"Yes, now that the air defense missile system is added to the H2, there is no room for installing missile launchers...... Gu Baonong said the problem directly.

"Let's go check it out first. Xie Kai didn't understand the specific situation, and it was not easy to speak.

He thought it should be very easy.

The flying shield system does not need to occupy too much space, and the launch channel can be shared with the 37mm double-barreled rapid-fire gun, and it will not affect it at all.
