C867 A Huge Purchase
It was already afternoon when they arrived at the Vix Company. This was the famous shipbuilding company in Cattle Country. At the same time, it was also responsible for designing boats.
In the company's meeting room, both parties sat down. Vix Company's designer, Eric. He introduced the ship to everyone. In the East, whenever a project was mentioned, there would be a master teacher. In Bear Country, even the design center was named after the designer. As long as it was mentioned, it would be known who was leading the project.
But the west was not any weapon of the west. It is very hard to find someone. This is the difference in culture between the East and the West. To them, they believe that their research results belong to everyone. It wasn't the crystallization of a person's wisdom, so it was very rare to see someone designing this weapon.
Eric was one of the designers, and he was also a senior consultant in the company. Now, he was very excited to receive the guests from Han Country.
The company really had foresight. Now, the company's early investment had finally started to pay off!
In 1967, they saw the old and outdated Auberdragon Class submarine of Cattle Navy. The navy would definitely take out a large order to replace these "veterans." Hence, the board of directors made a decision to raise 6.4 million pounds to carry out research and development in advance.
However, they did not expect that after World War II, the economy of Cattle Country would deteriorate. The old Auberdragon class actually served for more than ten years.
Fortunately, two years ago, they had waited for the result they wanted.
In March 1979, Ministry of Defense finally issued the task of developing a new diesel submarine to Wilkes Shipbuilding Engineering Ltd. The contract was one and a half years.
After receiving the contract, Wicks was very excited. They immediately found the design blueprint from the previous pile of paper and invited the design unit of the Hans Country 209 submarine, the Lubek submarine research institute, to participate in this project. Introducing new technologies such as water droplet body design, multi-protection cabin, digital fire control system, and so on, making the original plan shine with "second youth."
Although the research contract was one and a half years old, the company's research time was even faster than the military's expectations. That year, in October, they submitted a research report and design plan for a 2400 ton submarine. Finally, wicks received the order for the Cattle Country Ministry of Defense submarine.
And now, the entire design plan had been frozen. They were just waiting for the Ministry of Defense to allocate funds to start the construction. Who would have thought that the Han people would come!
"This submarine of ours uses the same elongated water droplet shape as the nuclear submarine." Facing the guests from Han Country, Eric began his introduction.
On the slide in front of everyone was the internal structure of the submarine. This kind of map was often seen in military magazines in the future, so it didn't seem to be a big deal. But now, the internal structure of this new submarine was extremely confidential.
This was the first time everyone had seen it, so they listened attentively to the other party's introduction.
Using a slightly elongated water droplet and cross-shaped stern rudder, the shape of this nuclear submarine was close to the best water power performance value, greatly reducing the underwater resistance and had a relatively high dive speed.
The bow of the boat was round and blunt, with a circular shield protruding out, the bow was lifted and pulled in a folded pattern, and the shell of the submarine was high in a streamlined pattern. There were two protrusions on both sides of the rear edge. All the devices inside could be automatically lifted and put away; the body of the boat was in a circular shape. The front and back of the ship were greatly shrunk, and the front and back of the large tail were more sharp. All the holes and water holes could be closed.
This way, the boat had good mobility and maneuverability. The body of the boat was wide / long, and the diameter of the pressure shell was huge. This way, the boat would have two broad decks.
This submarine also seemed to be very advanced.
Looking at its equipment, it actually had the most advanced towing array sonar! This sonar was dragged very far behind the submarine, so it could avoid the interference of the submarine's own noise. With excellent underwater detection capabilities, this submarine was simply too advanced!
Although the navy came out to inspect this time with the intention of looking at the model 42, when they saw the design of this submarine, everyone had this thought in their hearts. We want equipment, we want this type of submarine!
Furthermore, a few months ago, during the navy meeting, Qin Guan had already mentioned this type of submarine. Now, everyone knew that Qin Guan's foresight was too strong. He had chosen an advanced submarine for the navy!
"We can bring in two ships and the corresponding technology at the same time. We can build it ourselves in our country. If we bring in all of them, then... We don't have enough funds. " At this moment, Qin Guan opened his mouth. "In that case, what's the price of the submarine?"
The other party finally talked about the problem of money. One of the vice presidents of Vix Company immediately said, "The cost of each ship is 500 million. As for the technology, one billion. If the whole project is completed, 2 billion pounds, how about it?"
It was indeed an exorbitant demand. Of course, Qin Guan knew that the cost of building this kind of submarine was 14,000,000 pounds. This was the price for the Cattle Navy. Vix Company had already earned a large sum of money. And now, the price for their own side was actually 500 million pounds. This was too expensive, wasn't it?
This was how money was earned for firearms!
Wuhuade looked at Qin Guan's face. Didn't you say you didn't lack money back then? You have a gold mine, so what are you afraid of? You can use gold to trade!
Sure enough, he received an affirmative answer. "We can accept this price. But, at the same time we pay, all of this submarine technology has to be handed over to us, we do not wish for any problems in the Spey Engine project to occur. "
Acceptable!
Everyone was overjoyed. Wasn't this money earned too easily?
Of course, Qin Guan had his own considerations. That's right, he planned to use gold to exchange for it. Now, it was the best time. The price of gold was the highest in history. This two billion cow pound was equivalent to a few dozen tons of gold.0
Once this project was settled with gold, no one in Y Country would know how jealous they would be. They would definitely take the initiative to promote it to them. He was here to bait the people of Y Country. In other people's eyes, gold was very precious. In his opinion, it was a convenient thing to do.
The golden cemetery could be activated once more.
At the same time, there were too many advanced technologies on the support-level submarine. Radar, sonar, torpedoes, and other types of equipment, all kinds of anti-noise technology, after absorbing all of the technologies, they could totally create their own advanced Conventional Submarine. They could also perfect their own nuclear submarine. This benefit, no matter how much it cost, could be exchanged for.
Everyone knew how outdated the technology of the Han Country's nuclear submarine was. It simply didn't have any real combat ability. No matter how well it boasted, its actual combat ability was questionable.
