Chapter 207: Is the good customer God?

The Smectas are really considerate. Among the four sailor uniforms prepared for Qin Tao and the others, two are large and two are small. Now, the two small sailor uniforms are worn by Vitalia and Zhao Ling. The body is quite suitable, especially for Vitalia. The European figure is already very material and concave and convex. Now, wearing this sailor suit, it looks even more attractive.

“I’ll take your original clothes inside. The radiator of the engine will be dry soon,” Qin Tao said.

If it is a submarine that performs tasks underwater for a long time, even if it has air purification equipment, the diesel smell, human sweat odor, etc. inside the submarine will not be eliminated. It is very sour and refreshing. After all, it is not the same as any other submarine. Each submarine can be like a Typhoon-class submarine. The internal space is spacious enough to have a swimming pool, and there is no need to worry about taking a bath.

But now, this submarine was only driven out of the shipyard for testing in the morning, and it has only been half a day, so there is not a too complicated smell inside. There is just some noise in the engine room.

MTU's diesel engines are quite popular and are widely used both on land and at sea. Most of the diesel engines used on warships are MTU's.

Four MTU MB12V493AZ80 low-magnetic diesel engines, arranged in two groups at the front and rear, occupy the entire engine room space. The four diesel engines can output 5,000 horsepower, which is sufficient for the use of submarines.

During normal operation, it is most common to hang a few ropes in the engine room of a submarine to dry clothes. After all, the engine room has the highest temperature.

The lowest temperature is, of course, the torpedo room in the front. Therefore, you can often see two types of clothing in a submarine. Sailors in the torpedo room in the front wear winter clothes, and sailors in the engine room at the back wear summer clothes. In these two cabins, , the temperature dropped several times.

 Now, there is no drying rope here, so Qin Tao can only put his clothes on the radiator of the engine. Anyway, these machines are very clean and spotless. (There is also a saying that the surface of the diesel engine does not need to be wiped particularly clean. It is best to have an oil film on the surface.)

“Brother Tao, let me help.” At this moment, Zhao Ling came over.

 “I’ll just come. There’s a lot of noise here.” Qin Tao said.

But after he finished speaking, he saw Zhao Ling holding clothes made of several strips of cloth and hanging them on the other side. Qin Tao immediately understood something.

There are not only outerwear, but also underwear! Not only Zhao Ling's underwear, but also Vitalia's underwear.

Since Vitalia drank some water after all, she was not strong enough and could not come over to help dry the clothes together. Zhao Ling already knew about it when the two were changing clothes, so now she helped dry the underwear together.

Soon, the radiators of two diesel engines were hung. They were colorful and pretty. It reminded Qin Tao of the scenes in the movie. Various warships went to sea. There were radiators on the railings of the warships and even on the barrels of the cannons. Hanging clothes scene.

“It’s a pity that this kind of diesel-electric submarine has insufficient power. If it were a nuclear submarine, it would be equipped with several dryers.” Qin Tao said.

Diesel-electric submarines, no matter how big the engine power is, are not enough. On the water surface or in the snorkel state, the battery must be charged while sailing. In another state, it is completely powered by the battery. There is no need to use a power-consuming dryer. machine.

Only nuclear-powered submarines can have sufficient power supply. Not to mention using electricity to dry clothes, even the fresh water and oxygen on them are prepared with electricity.

“Brother Tao, the layout of these engines is somewhat different from the brochure.” After drying the clothes, Zhao Ling began to pay attention to the layout around her, and she immediately discovered something.

Zhao Ling followed Qin Tao and has always been unknown. However, this does not mean that Zhao Ling is just a vase. She has always seen with her eyes and memorized with her heart. Moreover, Zhao Ling has a very good memory. It can be said that, Almost a photographic memory.

Now, looking at the layout of the engine in the power cabin, Zhao Ling compared it with the brochure given by the Germans in her memory, and she felt something was wrong.

"Of course, their brochure must have some manipulation." Qin Tao said: "Those structural diagrams look perfect, but in fact, there are changes in some places. Xiaoling, what are you doing now?" Remember carefully, can you draw it correctly when you go back?"

"Well, I'll try my best." Zhao Ling said, "Just now, I came from the front cabin over there, and I have already started to remember."

When they were rescued, they were on the front deck of the submarine. Unlike nuclear submarines, the front deck of this diesel-electric submarine was still flat. At the same time, they entered through the hatch in the center of the front deck, so they walked from the front to the back. , except for the torpedo room and the control tower, they visited all other places.

Zhao Ling has been remembering everything along the way. Of course she knows that Qin Tao asked to come in just to see the inside of the 209 submarine.

 As for the last power cabin, it has undergone the biggest changes.

 Speaking of the power cabin, there seems to be nothing there, just a few engines that drive propellers or generators to generate electricity. In fact, the design inside is quite good.

 Because the submarine's engine cannot be directly connected rigidly to the submarine, the vibrations from the engine will be transmitted to the submarine's hull and then spread into the seawater, increasing the noise.

 Hence, the engine must be installed on a special base with special elastic elements in the middle. Even if the design is clever, the vibrations generated by the two engines can cancel each other out.

 The design here is very exquisite.

Zhao Ling was carefully observing and remembering. At this time, it would have been nice to have a camera. Unfortunately, those things had already fallen into the sea water.

However, if you really use a camera, you will be in trouble once you are inspected after you go out. It is best and safest to remember it in your mind.

Horvatz-Deutsche Werft.

 The 209 submarine, which was in a floating state, slowly drove towards the dock of the shipyard. At this time, there was already a row of people standing on the dock, including Christian, the person in charge of manufacturing submarines at the shipyard.

It was originally the weekend and they could have a good vacation. However, who would have thought that a collision at sea broke their vacation plans. They rushed back from the resort and their mood was in doubt.

 The submarine was moored at the dock, and after tying the cable, the sailors began to get busy.

When Cui Shaoyuan walked out with a heavy heart, he was met with a barrage of curses.

"How can you people do such a thing? Just launch a submarine to sea for testing without our shipyard personnel following you!" Christian said angrily: "What if there is an accident and the submarine sinks? "

 Before the submarine is officially delivered to the customer, the shipyard is still responsible for the submarine. If it sinks, it would be unfortunate for the shipyard to bear even half of the responsibility. After all, this matter has nothing to do with them.

"We, we..." Cui Shaoyuan was extremely sad.

In fact, they are sure. After all, they are all carefully selected submariners. They just want to master the characteristics of this 209 submarine as soon as possible and drive it back as soon as possible. After all, their navy has been waiting for a long time. ah!

 And, who can you blame? It was all to blame that seabird. When their periscope had just been extended, a seabird came up and its tail blocked their periscope's field of vision.

Of course, they couldn't act rashly without seeing the outside situation clearly, but that sea area was not a sailing area for ordinary ships at all. How could they have imagined that there was actually a yacht on the sea, and it was driving very fast.

 In short, now that things have happened, it is too late to say anything.

 The four people who had put on their original clothes again got off the submarine, all with gloomy faces.

Christian looked at the four people, and his mind was thinking quickly about how to deal with it. At this time, Vitalia, who had regained her energy, had already shouted to him.

"My father, Berezovsky, who is currently working in Moscow, founded the Free Press. Now, he is fighting for the freedom of the Russians. If he knew that his daughter had an accident at sea, he would be very upset. The pain."

Berezovsky, founder of Hurriyet newspaper? Christian knew immediately who it was.

"Of course, this matter has nothing to do with your shipyard. It is all caused by the reckless behavior of these Kimchi people. They need to compensate us for all the losses, 30 million. If they don't compensate us for the losses, then we can only sue According to the law, this submarine may be seized by the court, and I hope your shipyard will cooperate."

"That's right. We are willing to cooperate." Christian said immediately.

As long as you don't cause trouble for them, it will be fine. Moreover, the submarine has been hit by it after all, so it will definitely need maintenance, and Kimchi Country will have to pay an extra sum of money.

“Also, it’s not appropriate for us to enter the country like this. I hope you can help me with the immigration procedures.”

"no problem."

Cui Shaoyuan could only watch from the sidelines. Who said that customers are God? Now it is obvious that these people are wearing the same pair of trousers, and we must fight against them together!

Shouldn’t the shipyard speak for them?

Also, when the other party just talked a lot, he couldn't hear it very clearly. He could only catch a few words, such as Free Press, Berezov, etc. With such a name, he probably couldn't hear it clearly. Is it from Lao Maozi's side?

 Only Lao Maozi's side has vast land and many races. The two yellow people there are probably Central Asians, right?

The miserable Cui Shaoyuan knew that it was impossible to ask the shipyard to help him put in a good word. He could only run to make long-distance calls. He didn't know what would be waiting for him, so he poked this big hole and let him It is good to retire and get out. If he is sent to a military court, he may be sentenced to several years.

 Cui Shaoyuan called with an uneasy mood. Sure enough, the person on the other end was silent for a long time, and then agreed.

"Since they want 30 million, then give it to them, but this money must be given to Berezovsky." The other person obviously answered after deliberation, and this answer made Cui Shaoyuan very excited. curious.

　　You didn’t scold yourself, you actually agreed? Just give it to that person? What is his background?

Cui Shaoyuan is a soldier. He doesn't care about politics and doesn't know what the problem is.

The era of the Red Empire is about to pass, and another new era is about to come. I don’t know how many people see the huge wealth of the Red Empire. Originally, the Kimchi Country had no chance, but now, since it has encountered this matter, As long as they can get on Berezovsky's boat, maybe they from Kimchi Country can come over and get a share of the pie.

How could you give up this kind of opportunity?

So, such a bad thing turned into a good thing.

Christian was very enthusiastic and invited Qin Tao and the four of them to eat at a restaurant near the shipyard. It was a unique way for the four of them to come to Germany.

It’s just that the bodyguard didn’t agree. He stood in the corner of the restaurant and continued to perform his mission. The only people sitting at the dinner table were Qin Tao and the three of them, plus the two or three people brought by Christian.

“You are all frightened, and this glass of wine is just to calm your fright.” Christian picked up the wine glass and said to the three of them.

"Yeah, at the moment the accident happened, we almost thought we were going to die." Vitalia said: "If I go to heaven, my father will definitely be very sad. Fortunately, everything is safe now. It's really a blessing. Thanks to the people around me.”

Qin Tao also raised his glass: "Now that we can all sit here, we are naturally lucky, but it is a pity."

 “What’s a pity?”

"Helmut, the engineer at the Lübeck Engineering Design Institute, gave me a business card and asked me to visit him after I came to Germany. However, the business card sank into the sea. Without the business card, I had no way to find it. Mr. Helmut."

“Helmut, invite you to visit the Lübeck Design Institute?” Christian was very surprised.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Helmut has always been very proud. Being invited by him shows that you are very capable." Christian said: "When he comes back from England, I will take you to see him."

Very proud?

“Mr. Christian, what is Helmut’s identity?”

"His father was Walter, the chief designer of our new generation U-XXI submarine during World War II." Christian said: "His father proposed the idea of ​​using hydrogen peroxide as propellant to sail completely underwater. This U-XXI submarine is the world's first submarine designed entirely for underwater combat and is the prototype of all our modern submarines. Now our conventional submarines can lead the world because of the inheritance of this technology."

He is actually a great guy! Qin Tao built surface ships. Although he also knew about submarines, he was not particularly familiar with them. Now that Christian introduced them like this, Qin Tao understood.

The famous AIP submarine technology has been studied for many years. Even Qin Tao thought it was Lao Maozi who pioneered it. But in fact, if you continue to push forward, you can still find Germany during World War II!

Although hydrogen peroxide is easy to explode and consumes a lot of money, this idea was not realized in the end, but it was an innovation after all. After the end of World War II, the Germans continued to research, and successively studied the "Walter" closed-circuit After a large circle of research on cycle steam turbine technology, Stirling engine technology, closed cycle diesel engine technology and fuel cell technology, Germany finally focused its development on fuel cell technology.

This also has something to do with Siemens. After all, shipyards cannot manufacture batteries. Siemens took the lead in developing a mature commercial fuel cell system. Therefore, German submarines were the first to have the first generation of practical fuel in the 1980s. Battery.

The Germans are developing the first-generation AIP submarine Type 212 based on this fuel cell. If it were a common statement, it would not attract Helmut's attention at all. However, Qin Tao's remarks were too advanced.

 Direct replacement with lithium-ion batteries, who could have thought of this solution? Helmut admired this idea so much that he invited Qin Tao to be a guest. However, Helmut did not expect that Qin Tao would come in this way.

After dinner, the four of them were arranged to check into a nearby hotel. Not long after they checked in, there was a knock on Qin Tao's door.

When Qin Tao opened the door in surprise, he saw Vitalia and a man in the next room, standing at his door.

This man is short, fat, with bald hair on his forehead, and a stubble on his face. He looks like an ordinary old man with unkempt hair.

 However, Qin Tao knew who this person was.

“Qin, let me introduce you, this is my father, Boris.” Vitalia said: “Father, this is Qin.”

Qin Tao quickly reached out his hand enthusiastically and shook the other person's big hand.

 “Qin, thank you very much for saving my daughter twice.” Boris said. (Let’s still use this name, although according to Lao Maozi, it should be called the last one.)

"These are all what I should do, and Vitalia has also helped me a lot." Qin Tao said: "Welcome, please come in and sit down."

Zhao Ling stood next to Qin Tao and greeted with a smile. Then, Vitalia called her to the next door. So, only Boris and Qin Tao were left in this room.

The two of them sat on the sofa, and Boris began to speak: "To express gratitude, all the 30 million yuan in compensation from Kimchi Country belongs to you."

Qin Tao shook his head: "No, no, no, I can't do this. I can take part of the money, but I can't take it all. After all, the yacht has sunk and you have also suffered losses."

 “Then we will keep ten million and give you the remaining twenty million.”

Qin Tao continued to shake his head: "No, no, do you think this is okay? Twenty million of it is used to purchase two yachts, one for each of us. Please keep the yacht for me until my wife and I come here to travel. We can use it when the time comes. How about we each take five million of the remaining ten million?"

　　Boris nodded: “Okay.”

The compensation of 30 million yuan was divided between the two people. For Qin Tao, he got an extra yacht out of thin air and another 5 million yuan. He could still make a fortune on this honeymoon trip, which is quite good. .

"Mr. Boris, how did you get rich?" Qin Tao couldn't help but ask the other party. This was completely different from what he knew! Didn't it mean that this university professor only rose up after the collapse of the Red Empire?

Now it seems that I have become a rich man early.

“I used to be a professor in a university, and at the same time, I also worked as an agent for the KGB.” Boris said.

 What, agent? Qin Tao was extremely surprised.

“Don’t be afraid, there are so many KGB employees, not all of them are the same as 007.” Boris said: “My task is just to help collect some information. I did it until I quit last year.”

It was precisely because of this experience that Boris was able to find a good bodyguard for his daughter. That person was a professional in the KGB who specialized in wet work. After leaving the KGB, he was hired by him with a high salary to protect his daughter. Absolutely no problem.

"A few years ago, our university was often in arrears with wages. Taking advantage of our economic reforms, I seized the opportunity to bring cars from Western Europe back to Moscow. Two years ago, I established a special Mercedes-Benz car store. The annual revenue is hundreds of millions.”

What?

 Qin Tao opened his mouth wide, no wonder!

  Map initially engaged in economic reform, but later found that the resistance was too strong and the reform could not be carried out, so it began to engage in political reform.

After the economic reform, many procedures will be simplified. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Boris began to purchase cars from Western Europe, and he specialized in purchasing high-end Mercedes-Benz cars.

When he was building his first car, he scraped together a lot of money and borrowed a lot of money. As a result, he moved it to Moscow and sold it for three times the price. From then on, he started to get out of control and kept building cars. to expand the business.

It can be said that the Boris and Qin Tao in front of us are very similar. They are both not seeking a proper career and both are traitors, but the materials they plunder are different.

Even though ordinary old people have to wait in line for half a day to buy bread, the country’s wealth has been concentrated in the hands of a small group of people, and those people have the demand for high-end cars.

“Qin, your identity is also very special, right?” Boris said to Qin Tao.

Qin Tao smiled: "Yes, I opened a company in China, and I also have some relations with the navy. I often go to the Soviet Union and bring back some junk from there, especially old ships and the like, and then dismantle them. Scrap metal.”

 Turn over broken and abandoned ships?

What did Boris think of: "Qin, I know that the Northern Fleet has a large number of decommissioned warships, which are left in the port to bask in the sun and wind. If you have any ideas, I can help contact you."

"Really? That's great!" Qin Tao's face was full of joy.

Now Boris is already a very popular person in the country. He made a lot of money, and then spent the money on conspirators. Even now, he has come to Germany to not only coordinate the import of Mercedes-Benz cars. , and even came to raise political investment for the conspirators.

 People like him have a complicated network of relationships, and he probably already has connections with the Northern Fleet. After all, the top brass of the military also ride in Mercedes-Benz cars.

PS: Thanks to book friends such as Beware of Martians, Drunken Dreams, and Eric Xiao for their tips. Today, I feel disgraced. I hope these two chapters will be safe and sound. .
