"Chief, this is really impossible, especially the requirement to increase the ground-to-ground missile. This not only requires the addition of the fire control system channels, but also requires the layout of the warships to be effectively solved... The deck area is too small unless the tonnage is increased to more than 3,000 tons." Wang Hengyuan did not expect that this project alarmed so many people.

"Has the previous design been completed?" Zheng Yucheng asked.

The design he asked for was the h3 that Xie Kai asked for.

"It's basically done. It's still based on h2. The hull has been lengthened by about ten meters and widened by more than one meter. However, the electromagnetic compatibility and other issues of the new radar system need to be tested and integrated." Wang Hengyuan reported the design plan they had made before.

Many of the performance requirements of h3 proposed by Xie Kai are the directions for improvement of 053.

h2 is a mature technology used in order to save costs.

With technical reserves and the entire design team is in the design room, it would not be possible to complete the overall design plan within more than two months, and this plan still needs to be verified.

No one expected that Xie Kai could get the order so quickly.

What he didn't expect was that he got the order and his performance requirements were increased again. He not only had to install air defense missiles, but also ground-to-ground missiles. This is no longer what their current solution can solve.

To add a weapon system, you must add a fire control system, guidance system, and re-layout.

In order to install the Red Flag-61, they even lengthened the current hull by 9 meters and widened by 1.2 meters.

In the afternoon, Xie Kai brought Suleiman Khalifa, the Bahrain Emir, to the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Due to the secret travel, the reception was not large in scale and the specifications were not low. No local government officials appeared, and both Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan were in the welcome ranks.

"What did you think? You can't do this at all! They basically designed what you wanted before, but now they have changed the design, and the previous ones have not been verified!" Zheng Yucheng finally had the opportunity to ask out his doubts on the way to the shipyard.

Wang Guilin also stared at him, his eyes full of blame.

"Chief, he is also helpless. Bahrain has to do this. Even if it is low, he is unwilling to ask for anything else..." Mo Qi said when Xie Kai was not easy to answer.

"What's going on?" Wang Guilin asked Xie Kai in a deep voice, "You haven't done this before."

"Didn't Qatar and Bahrain tie up a fight at the end of last year because of a territorial dispute? Now Qatar is negotiating with the Soviet Union to introduce their Type 1159 Koney-class missile frigate specifically for export. It can be imagined how much pressure this will be on the Bahrain Navy, which has only a hundred tons of gunboats...." Xie Kai introduced the situation.

When two small countries fight, the small ones won't be too noticeable. It's like two groups of people fighting in groups, not even as big as Mexican drug lords and police went to war, but it was a real war.

War between nations.

The worst thing is that both countries have made a fortune by selling oil.

rich!

"So, it can't be changed?" Wang Guilin asked.

Xie Kai nodded, "I tried several times, either we lost the order or followed this..."

"You boy brag about them, right?" Zheng Yucheng asked coldly.

Xie Kai did not deny it, "Otherwise, why should I ask them for $200 million? Even if I install the Red Flag-61 air defense missile, it will be doubled at most..."

If you want to sell more money, you won’t be able to do it without using some technology.

"Foreigns are equipped with cruise missiles, and we don't have cruise missiles at all. Even if there are, they can't be installed on such a small tonnage warship." Wang Guilin sighed.

Xie Kai was really bragging this time.

How to end?

"No need to do that. If we really sell this to them, something will easily happen, and no international will be happy." Xie Kai shook his head.

"What's going on?" Zheng Yucheng asked Xie Kai, "Wang Hengyuan and the others said that it is basically impossible. Unless the tonnage is increased to more than 3,000 tons, and vertical launch is developed..."

"It doesn't need to be that complicated at all. Moreover, a 3,000-ton frigate will break the regional balance in the Bay area, which is absolutely not possible." Xie Kai said firmly, "Just move our ground-red flag launch system two sets of ground-to-ground missiles."

"What?" Wang Guilin thought he had heard it wrong.

"Yes, even the ground red flag, this thing will not violate international regulations, and the range is not more than 300 kilometers." Xie Kai said proudly, "I have seen the 053h2 model before. As long as the air defense missile is installed, this can be installed easily. The only thing that is troublesome is the electromagnetic compatibility of guidance radar. This problem is not very serious. While producing the hull, it is integrated..."

"This needs to be communicated with the design team." Zheng Yucheng was not so worried when he heard that there was a solution.

Even though Wang Guilin's face was still full of worries.

As soon as we arrived at the Hudong Shipyard, the group took Suleiman Khalifa to visit the 053h2 ship being installed. The chief designer Wang Hengyuan personally introduced the new modified h3 and also introduced the location of the air defense missile.

At the end, the model pointing to the overall design of h3 is introduced directly in the technical conference room.

"Where is the ground missile?" Suleiman Khalifa looked at the model. Although air defense missiles were added on it, he did not see the ground missile launch system.

Wang Hengyuan was so angry that he didn't know how to introduce it.

Xie Kai braided the cowhide, so he asked him to solve this problem and looked at Xie Kai blankly.

Xie Kai did not hesitate at all. He pointed to the positions of two 4-unit Eagle Strike-81 anti-ship missile launchers fixedly arranged in front and behind the chimney, and said, "Your Majesty, we will change the anti-ship missiles at this position to two 22 4-unit missile launchers. Although they are launched at an inclined angle, the launchers above are fixed and cannot rotate. Then they are cross-fitting with two 22 ground-to-ground missile launchers... Whether it is anti-ship or ground-to-ground attacks, they are launched from one side of the hull..."

"..." Wang Hengyuan almost jumped out to object to Xie Kai's idea.

In the end, he held back.

There is no problem with this kind of installation, but if you want to increase the guidance radar system, the project volume is not a little bit.

"The technical requirements in the contract will be specified in detail, right?" Suleiman Khalifa asked.

"There will definitely be something." Xie Kai promised.

"Very good, our Ministry of Defense equipment purchasers will come here soon to sign a contract with you. Thank you, remember, in one year, you will deliver the warship you mentioned! Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to continue to cooperate in the future..." Suleiman Khalifa made a decision without even asking anything. "Two ships! In addition, my people will also talk to you about other procurements..."

After saying that, Suleiman Khalifa took his men to leave the Hudong Shipyard.

He had to rush back to Xiangjiang, where he had a bigger business to negotiate.

"That's it?" Even Long Yaohua, Li Mingshan and others were shocked by Suleiman Khalifa's decision so easily. "Will he not discuss it with their Ministry of Defense?"

Even if the People's Liberation Army adds a warship, which only costs 46 million, it will have to be measured and measured, with various meetings and various details to discuss.

The other party is like buying cabbage.

"The whole country has one million people, and in a country like theirs, the whole country belongs to Emir!" Xie Kai said calmly, "Although the dictatorship is not good, it is very efficient in these matters. Just like our unit, Lao Zheng and others have the final say, so there is no need to hold meetings and discuss them all, and they just make the decision, saving a lot of time... Of course, this is also prone to problems. Once a decision is made wrong, it will bring about a disaster that will never be restored..."

Fortunately, it is the 1980s.

Otherwise, he would have to be a big hat for restoration.

"Okay, the question now is, with US$400 million in front of us, how can we ensure that we can provide two ships within a year? Whether it is productivity or technical difficulty, it is basically impossible!" Long Yaohua interrupted Xie Kai.

Everyone looked at Xie Kai.

What Xie Kai made has to end.

"There is no problem to build the hull into the water within half a year, right?" Xie Kai asked Zhou Zhenbai.

"This is impossible! Even if you work overtime, it is impossible!" The latter said affirmatively, "It will take at least ten months!"

"What if it is manufactured in segments? Divide the entire warship into several sections, build it at the same time, and then close it in the ship platform. Is it enough for half a year?" Xie Kai had already calculated this.

Segmented manufacturing is a technology that must be mastered.

Segmented manufacturing is actually modular manufacturing, which can effectively improve the construction progress, and 404 has been developing in this direction.

Rabbit is called an infrastructure maniac by the whole world. Whether it is the manufacturing of warships, other fields, or even buildings and bridges, they are modularized, and they are prefabricated while doing infrastructure construction, and then they are speedy...

It's time to speed up the time for modular construction.

"There are already many units in China that are using it, but they are all used on merchant ships with not very strong hulls. Can warships run?" Li Qingmin asked.

Some of their merchant ships were built in segments.

"Why can't it? Besides, this is for us to test! A small country like Bahrain, even if it has warships, it cannot really play like a naval power. At most it is a deterrent. In the event of a war, what can these two warships do? At most, it will only take a few missiles and fire a few guns..." If it weren't for Bahrain, Xie Kai would really not dare to do this.

"..." The crowd didn't know what to say.

"The quality must be met. If segmented manufacturing is used, the hull manufacturing can be completed within half a year." Zhou Zhenbai calculated for a while before speaking.

"What about the added radar system, electromagnetic compatibility?"
Chapter completed!
