Chapter 245 Our high-altitude and high-speed fighters need MiG-29 parts
As soon as this Dr. Boole became anxious, but regardless of the occasion, he said anything, Kamal was immediately frightened, can you say such a thing as a mushroom bomb? You're too inattentive to the occasion, aren't you? However, he also knew that if he criticized Dr. Bull, the next thing would be an argument.
Fortunately, at this time, Qin Feng spoke: "Two, let's go to the office to talk, maybe we can find a plan that satisfies both parties, how about it?" ”
After all, there are few people in the office, so it won't be heard by too many people, and Kamal nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, then let's go to the office." ”
Dr. Buhl shook his head: "Go ahead, no matter how you talk about it, in short, I want ten ordinary steel pipes, three steel pipes of electroslag remelted steel, and I am here to study the specific properties of these steel pipes, especially the welding process." Zhuang Gong, can you stay? ”
Dr. Bull's meaning is obvious, how to talk about Kamal's business, in short, he wants these things, he doesn't need to waste time on these things, what he has to solve now is the processing of these steel pipes.
The welding of thick-walled steel pipes is difficult, however, it is generally welded in the factory, leaving only a few detours to weld on site, and the welding in the factory can reduce the error of field operations and improve the welding quality.
Since the factory here produces such thick-walled steel pipes, it must have the ability to weld, and considering the concealment and loading and transportation, these six-meter-long steel pipes can be welded to 12 meters at most, and the rest of the welds need to be welded after Yilak, and he has to inquire about them clearly.
If there is an error in the welding process, the super cannon may not be able to withstand the pressure of the chamber and explode when firing, and he does not want that kind of accident.
He is familiar with Zhuang Shuren, the big guys are all engaged in technology, and they can negotiate with each other, as for things like price, just leave it to Kamal.
Kamal nodded: "Okay." ”
The office was clean and tidy, and when Kamal sat down, Wang Fang had already enthusiastically helped make tea before leaving.
"Xiaofang, you can stay, after all, you are in charge here." Qin Feng greeted.
What he did was confidential, but a group executive of Wang Fang's level was also fully qualified to know, everyone was in the same boat, and the more he knew, he could be tied more firmly.
"Hmm." Wang Fang's eyes showed a hint of emotion, Mr. Qin has always trusted himself so unconditionally, and he must not live up to Mr. Qin's trust!
Kamal took a sip of tea, and then showed a helpless expression on his face: "Mr. Qin, our economic situation in recent years has not been good, many weapons have been purchased by borrowing, we have already owed a lot of money to other brother countries, but the price of oil has been very low in recent years, and we can't make much money from exporting oil, so these 30 million US dollars are too much for us." ”
I thought that at the beginning, they could directly throw out billions without frowning, but now, they can't even take out tens of millions, and Kamal has bitterness in his heart.
"However, you can also see Dr. Bull's attitude, what he likes, it must be, otherwise, he will quarrel with us endlessly." Kamal said: "Mr. Qin, you just said that we have to find a plan that satisfies both parties, can we replace it with oil?" ”
He can advance the oil production in the future, although this is a bit unauthentic, but it is also within his authority, so he first proposed this plan.
Qin Feng shook his head: "I'm sorry, our company doesn't do oil business, and besides, we can't interfere in this oil business." ”
If you get a few boats of oil, you can't be anxious about two barrels of oil, this kind of thing is monopolized, and Qin Feng doesn't have that qualification.
"Then iron ore, Mr. Qin, when we came, we have inquired, although the Pacific Group has not been established for a long time, it is determined to forge ahead, there are already gold mines and iron mines in Africa, we also have rich iron ore resources in Yilak, and the iron ore in Basra has been explored, and it has not been mined for the time being, and we can exchange the mining rights of iron ore."
Qin Feng shook his head: "The mining of iron ore takes time, but we need to give you products first, which means that our Pacific Group has to advance funds, which is too risky." Moreover, you are still at war, mining in the midst of war, and there are too many uncertainties. ”
In fact, if you can open a mine from Yilak China, it is still a good choice, but Qin Feng has historical knowledge, although the war between the two clothes will end soon, but they have heavy troops in their hands, thinking that they are the fourth military power in the world, and they always want to do something, but they were hit by the multinational forces, and there has been no peaceful days over there.
Besides, if he agrees to this condition, what will happen to the parts of the MiG-29?
"Mr. Qin, then I can't think of any other plan." Kamal said.
Qin Feng took a sip of tea, and then said lightly: "You have tempered a powerful army in the war, especially the air force, equipped with many world-class aircraft, which is enviable." ”
Kamal nodded: "Yes, we purchased the Mirage F1 from France, the MiG-25 and MiG-29 from the Soviet Union, especially the MiG-29, this aircraft is the most advanced fighter in the world!" If they encounter a Tomcat again, we'll let them know who is the master of the sky! ”
After a long war, the opponent's Tomcat fighters have also been consumed a lot, especially the precious Immortal Bird missiles with a range of more than 100 kilometers have almost been used up, and without this missile, the Tomcat fighters will not have the ability to attack from a long distance, and in the range of medium-range air combat and close-range combat, the MiG-29 really has the power to fight.
"Well, this kind of fighter plane is under the strict supervision of Lao Maozi, right? Do you have the ability to operate autonomously? ”
Lao Maozi provided Yilak with advanced fighters, but the operation of modern fighters takes time and energy, Lao Maozi took the opportunity to be an instructor, his hand stretched out very long, take the MiG-25 as an example, if there is no Lao Maozi instructor's affirmation, Yilak's pilots can not take off.
"Absolutely." Kamal said: "The plane is our purchase, it is our property, of course we are capable of operating it, don't listen to rumors from the outside world, we are independent, we are not a republic of the Soviet Union!" ”
If it was a few years ago, Lao Maozi's hands were indeed very long, but since 85 years, their control has gradually weakened. It's 88 years now, and Lao Maozi's instructor has become an ordinary instructor, and he doesn't care about anything.
"So, you should be able to easily make some parts for the MiG-29, right?" Qin Feng finally got to the point, he said as he drank tea, looking casual.
"What do you want parts for this kind of aircraft? You don't have such planes! ”
"We have a high-altitude and high-speed twin-engine fighter in China, the technology of this fighter is still relatively backward, we want to improve the performance of this aircraft, in comparison, we feel that the MiG-29 parts are the most suitable." Qin Feng said: "We need two MiG-29 engines, which can be installed in an aircraft like ours, which can increase the range by half, and we also need a full set of fire control systems for the MiG-29, including radar, fire control computers, helmet sights and electro-optical detection devices." If you can provide these, then in exchange we can give you all these pipes. ”
Of course, Qin Feng can't say that he wants foreign customers, he has to say that he uses it himself, and there are ready-made ones.
"J-8-2 fighter?" Kamal reacted immediately.
Qin Feng smiled but said nothing.
The J-82 fighter, the most advanced fighter independently developed in China, still uses two backward turbojet-7 engines, with an afterburner thrust of only 70 kN, which is about the same as the maximum military thrust of the RD33, if it is replaced with RD33, then the J-82 can soar to more than Mach 1.6 even if it does not open the afterburner, and obtain the most powerful supersonic cruise capability, as for turning on the afterburner, it can make the fighter fly above Mach 2.4, too high is not to go up, but to take into account the problem of thermal barriers.
The improvement of the J-82 fighter has the idea of replacing it with an advanced turbofan, which has a close relationship with the United States over the years, and has been considering stuffing the F404 into it, entering the nineties, and considering stuffing the RD33 into it, but the airframe platform is too old, and in the end it is not so modified.
However, in terms of radar and fire control system, there is a successful experience, after entering the 90s, in order to sell the J-82 fighter, the Northern Institute cooperated with Lao Maozi to transplant the MiG-29 radar, codenamed J-2M, because the performance is still backward, so it is still not sold.
In short, the J-8 2 platform to modify the equipment of the MiG-29 is appropriate.
In the 80s, when military orders were sharply reduced, all the military factories that could be stained with the war in the Middle East were produced at full capacity, and they were full of oil.
The Yilak Air Force also purchased the J-7 fighter, although this fighter does not have over-the-horizon combat capability, but it is still very flexible in close-range combat, and they also know the weapons and equipment of the East, and know that there are more advanced J-8 fighters.
In fact, they have also inspected the Jian-8 fighter many times, and they are very dissatisfied with the engine, radar and other equipment of this fighter, so they did not purchase it, even if the aircraft in the East are of good quality and low price, they also choose to purchase more expensive Soviet-made fighters.
Looking at Qin Feng's smile, Kamal knew that he didn't need to say anything, everything was in plain sight.
He had participated in the import agreement for these aircraft, and he had also seen the quotations, and the backup engines purchased from Lao Maozi were only 2.5 million rubles for one unit, two or 5 million rubles, and the radar and fire control systems were only 3 million rubles, and when the helmet-sighted sights and optoelectronic devices were added, it was only 9 million rubles.
Before the collapse of the Red Empire, the ruble was also very strong, in the sixties and seventies, 1 dollar could only be exchanged for about 0.68 rubles, and in the eighties, this exchange ratio rose to about 0.9, and if it was converted into dollars, the transaction was only 10 million dollars, which was just within the range they could afford!
They bought back $30 million for $10 million, and it's definitely worth it!
So, Kamal nodded: "Okay, since you need it, then we will exchange this batch of equipment, we will send a transport plane to transport these equipment to you, your steel pipe ......"
"If your transport plane lands, our steel pipes can be delivered, if your transport plane is big enough, those electroslag remelted steel pipes can be taken away directly, and ten ordinary steel pipes will be shipped by sea."
"Good!" The deal was reached like this, Wang Fang watched the whole process, but her mind was a little confused, such an exchange, we seem to have suffered a loss, right? Besides, when are we going to get in touch with all the north and supply parts for their fighters?
"Mr. Kamal, to celebrate the collaboration, tonight, we have a banquet in the small cafeteria, and we have a few drinks. You've had a hard journey, so let's go to the guest house to rest first. ”
"Okay." Kamal nodded.
It wasn't until 2016 that Irak issued a ban on alcohol, which caused great anger among the people, and all kinds of satirical cartoons emerged one after another, after all, the big guys like to drink, life is so difficult, they can't drink a little alcohol, and those who are high in power can ignore the ban.
Well, now, they all like to have a few drinks.
After sending Kamal to the guest house, Wang Fang raised the question in his heart.
"Mr. Qin, when did you contact all the north?"
"Nope."
"Then you also help them import parts for modified fighters?"
"I didn't say anything, Kamal guessed it himself." Qin Feng said: "After this batch of goods arrives, we will immediately resell it to the Americans, although we spent 30 million US dollars in exchange, but we can sell it for 100 million US dollars." ”
Wang Fang's eyes widened.
Mr. Qin is too powerful, right?
Qin Feng smiled: "Okay, next, let's go see Dr. Bull, this person is more extreme, don't have any accidents." ”
Sure enough, as soon as he walked outside the factory, Qin Feng heard a roar inside.
"Since we are purchasing steel pipes from you, we must solve the welding problem! We demand absolute guaranteed strength, and that's what concerns our barrels...... Oil pipeline safety! ”
"Dr. Boole, if it is only this conventional steel, of course we can guarantee the welding strength, if all of it is electroslag remelted steel, we can also guarantee it, but we have not done the welding between this electroslag remelted steel and ordinary steel, and the welding of these two different steels is originally a difficult ......" Zhuang Shuren was a little helpless.
After all, Dr. Boole proposed to have a three-stage electroslag remelted steel pipe, and their second machine factory can produce this kind of steel.
Therefore, Zhuang Shuren accompanied Dr. Bull to visit and worked harder, but he did not expect that Dr. Bull's requirements were becoming more and more excessive.
It is not easy to weld these steel pipes together, the big guy has also gone through repeated attempts to find a welding method, it is said that this welding process is not a secret, and now it is handed over to Dr. Boole, which is already a preferential treatment, who would have thought that this Dr. Boole is not satisfied, but also let them weld two different steel together!
Isn't that embarrassing?
"No, since you have sold steel pipes, you have to tell us the welding process, otherwise when the time comes, our two steel pipes cannot be welded together, or the welding strength cannot be guaranteed, so how to use it?" Dr. Bull remained firm.
"Okay, then listen up." At this moment, a voice came from the side.
The big guy raised his head and saw Qin Feng appear in front of him, he was very surprised, Mr. Qin still knows how to weld?
The welding of two different steels is the most difficult.
"Mr. Qin, the welding of these two different steels can be different, in the process of melting and cooling the weld metal, some trace elements, such as NB, V, etc., will be solidly dissolved in the weld, even if we can ensure the strength of the weld through various means, we cannot guarantee the toughness of the weld." Zhou Minghui opened his mouth and said all theories: "If you want to improve the quality of the weld, you must reasonably match the content of internal trace elements, and at the same time control the amount of some trace harmful elements." ”
"So, we're going to do it in a special way." Qin Feng looked at Dr. Bull: "Dr. Bull, listen up, according to our operation process, if the welding quality is not high due to operation errors, it has nothing to do with us." ”
"First of all, you need to use the MTS-616 electrode produced by Bole-Thyssen, in the welding process, the use of GTAW, SMAW, SAW process, before welding, you need to preheat the workpiece interface to more than 150 degrees Celsius, filled with argon protection, the welding interface grinds out of a 30-degree inclination, the use of layered welding, in the welding process with a smaller welding line energy, take multi-layer multi-pass welding, absolutely not too thick, must make the heat affected zone softening belt narrower, and wait until the completion of welding, It is necessary to slowly cool to 100 degrees, so that the martensite transformation is carried out, and after these are done, the weld should be heated to a constant temperature of 760 degrees for a total of six hours, and the post-weld heat treatment is carried out. After this operation, the welding quality can be fully guaranteed. ”
The big guys are all big when they listen to it, welding a steel pipe, and there are so many exquisitenesses? For the big guys, the general thin arc welding, thick electroslag welding, dry is over! What argon protection, what multi-layer welding, what martensitic conversion and heat treatment, such operation, must not exhaust people?
Dr. Boole had to agree that the welding method did sound advanced and should meet their needs, but it was too cumbersome and they could not guarantee that there would be no problems during the welding process.
"Mr. Qin, is there an easy way?" Dr. Bull spoke.
The big guy was speechless for a while, what about your insistence just now? You're changing your attitude too quickly, aren't you?
"Of course there is, if it is simple, we will add flanges on both sides of the steel pipe, this can be welded to you when it leaves the factory, you only need to tighten it with screws."
