Chapter 236: The Navy Needs Integrated Supply Ships

  Chapter 236 The Navy needs an integrated supply ship

   Can’t light, why can’t it light? What went wrong? It shouldn't be!

  Wang Hongcheng lit the lighter again, and leaned over again, but still nothing!

  The color or something, it looks fine!

   "Scientist Wang, what's going on?" The leader's face was also ugly: "Did the experiment fail?"

   "No, no, there may be something wrong with this cup, I'll go to another location to get fuel again!" Wang Hongcheng said, stood up, and picked up a can he was going to hold fuel.

   "Scientist Wang, why do you have such a soft spot for cans? Is it because they are easy to drop?"

   "I don't understand what you are talking about." Wang Hongcheng said.

   "Don't understand? Then we will perform live, Lao Luo, please ask two soldiers to help Scientist Wang check his body."

   "Hey, what are you doing?"

Before Wang Hongcheng could finish his words, he was held up by two soldiers, who searched the road with ease, and then took out two identical cans from Wang Hongcheng's trousers, which were full of special liquid!

   "I guess this liquid can be ignited, let's try it." Qin Tao said, opened one of the cans, and suddenly, the smell of gasoline radiated.

   "There's no need to order it, this is a can of gasoline." Cao Lao said.

   "What are you guys doing?" Wang Hongcheng was still very angry: "You can't do this to me!"

   "No other meaning, now, you can use your favorite cans to store your puffed fuel!"

  The leaders above all had extremely ugly faces. When the two bottles were found from Wang Hongcheng's body, they already understood.

   This is a plan to drop the bag, use this kind of liquid prepared in advance as the puffed fuel from the swimming pool, so as to fool the past.

  Of course, this is just a means, he has other tricks, this pool full of puffed fuel also has additional means.

  Wang Hongcheng took the canning bottle, walked to another corner, salvaged a bottle, and experimented there on the spot.

   No light, no light!

  He was completely messed up, and changed another corner, still not working!

   What's going on, what's going on here?

  Wang Hongcheng looked at the soldiers with live ammunition all around him, and knew that he couldn't escape this time.

   "It's too cold for our puffed fuel!"

   "Just now you said that it has nothing to do with other factors."

   "No, no, it's about temperature, I'm wrong, it's about temperature!"

   "No, it has nothing to do with the temperature. It has something to do with the pump room over there. Leaders, are you willing to go and see what's going on?"

   Has something to do with the pump room?

   At this time, all the leaders have already realized that this should be a scam. Now, they are going to find out the truth of the matter!

  Swimming pools must have a pump room. The water inside must be pumped out after a period of time, and then replaced with new water. Otherwise, the water will stink completely in ten days and a half months.

If you receive water from the water company, the water in this pool will also cost a lot of money. Anyway, many departments in the country are not complete, and there is no supervision of groundwater. The pump room here is a well below it. Put the pump in, and the water below can be pumped up directly.

  Since the swimming pool was abandoned, the pump room has not been taken care of. It looks dilapidated, and the door of the pump room seems to have never been touched.

  However, if you look at the window on the side of the pump room, you can see a lot of traces.

   At this time, Wang Hongcheng was carried over by two soldiers, his face was ashen, and he knew he had been planted.

   Crash!

  The door of the pump room was opened, and amidst the creaking sound, everyone saw the scene inside the pump room. Two soldiers guarded a woman. There were several gasoline barrels in the small pump room.

"Scientist Wang, who is this woman? Do you know her? Is it your wife Wang Qilin?" Qin Tao said with great interest: "I admired you very much at first, thinking that your magic is very good, but I didn't expect that with It’s such a simple way!”

   What easy way?

  Of course it’s a steal!

  It is impossible to burn a pool of water, but it is possible to replace the water at the top of the pool with gasoline.

This is the pump room. As long as the water pumps here are used to pump these barrels of gasoline into the pool, the gasoline will float on the water in half an hour. Wang Hongcheng scoops water from the water, and what he scoops up is gasoline. , you can light it.

   It's that simple!

However, Qin Tao could tell at a glance, so he asked the soldiers of the Marine Corps to dispatch to control the overall situation, and then found two quick-witted ones to climb in through the side window of the pump room and control the woman inside. In this way, The civet cat's method of changing the prince can't be used.

  Wang Hongcheng also did a lot of work. He installed the submersible pump to make noise so as not to be heard, and put a cover on the pool with great fanfare so as not to be found that gasoline was released from the water pipe.

   And, even if none of that worked, he could replace it with a pre-hidden canning jar.

  However, under Qin Tao's piercing eyes, none of this worked!

   Today's performance was interviewed by reporters from the TV station and recorded on the spot by a video camera. Now, the camera is facing the pump room, and everything is revealed.

   Wang Hongcheng couldn't do this kind of thing alone. Every time, his wife cooperated with him to do it flawlessly. However, a scam is always a scam, and it will always be exposed.

   "I, I, I..." Before Wang Hongcheng finished speaking, he felt the world spinning and his body went limp.

   "Hey, what is this for? The liar has changed his career?" Qin Tao said with a smile: "The facts are already clear. If he dared to deceive the army, he would have to go to a military court and take him away!"

  Luo Wenzhong had lingering fears: "Mr. Qin, thanks to your coming, if we are cheated by him, we don't know how much we will lose!"

   "Huh!" The big leader was also furious: "If you can't convict him, then send him to our court in Huating, and almost cheated us of huge sums of money. Such a person must be severely punished by the law!"

   Everyone was very busy, but they were tricked by liars. Everyone felt uncomfortable. Only Yan Lao and Cao Lao looked at Qin Tao with a smile.

  What is the fifth greatest invention, this is definitely a shame! Now that you have encountered it, it will be a pleasure to expose it.

  When they were looking around with Qin Tao just now, they had already locked the target pump room, and they also assumed several ways the other party cheated in advance, which basically matched the facts, which made them very happy.

   A farce ended like this. Qin Tao originally wanted to leave, but was held back by Luo Wenzhong.

   "President Qin, the leaders of the base here want to invite you over."

   "Forget it, don't thank me, these are what I should do."

   “It’s not just about saying thanks.”

   "Then what else?"

   "Anyway, you go there!" Luo Wenzhong said: "The leader gave me an order. If I don't finish it, I'm afraid I will..."

   "Okay, then I'll go."

  Qin Tao originally planned to go back to university, then discuss 3D printing technology, and then go back to the factory to see how the machine is installed. Now that he is so sincerely invited, Qin Tao can only go.

  The beautiful Mercedes-Benz G galloped on the street, and soon drove into the military port.

  Mingzhou is the main base of the navy, and there is also a base here at Huating, which mainly provides logistical support. After entering, Qin Tao saw warships standing on the military port and the flags flying above them.

  In the office, Leader Shen sat there and said with emotion: "President Qin, we made a big joke, and you laughed at it. If it weren't for you, maybe we would have been cheated."

  Qin Tao shook his head: "You are being polite. Without me, everyone will be able to open their eyes and let the liars have nowhere to hide. But... why do we attach so much importance to this project?"

Qin Tao's words were considered to have reached the key point, and Leader Shen sighed: "Many professionals say that this Hongcheng base fluid is a scam, but we are still very concerned, and it is not because of our navy's logistics supplies. Problem. Think about it, if this thing is real, then our navy will solve the big problem of refueling!"

  Hongcheng Base Fluid is so bullish that a single portion of the liquid can be mixed with tens of thousands of times the volume of fuel. If this thing is true, how much trouble will the Navy save?

  Navy warships go to sea, as long as they bring a few more barrels of Hongcheng base fluid. The fuel on board is running out, so they pump some seawater into the fuel tank, add Hongcheng base fluid, and it becomes puffed fuel directly! In this way, you don't even need to bring the supply ship, it is simply unlimited endurance.

  The temptation is so great that even though they know there are risks involved, they still want to give it a try. If it is true, the prospect is too good.

"We are still naive. Pie in the sky, how can there be such a good thing." Leader Shen said: "When this incident spreads, I will be ashamed to face people in the future. I don't know how many people will laugh at us. Alas, we are still Not poor."

  Leader Shen smiled wryly.

  If the navy has money to refuel warships, they don’t have to think about such crooked ways.

"Yeah, we are still too poor." Another leader interjected: "Our navy currently only has two comprehensive supply ships. That’s why I’m tempted by Hongcheng Base Liquid.”

  Qin Tao nodded, he was also clear about these things.

In the past, the domestic idea was the offshore navy, so there was no need for integrated supply ships at all. It was not until the 1970s that China decided to test-fire intercontinental missiles to the South Pacific. In order to allow the naval formation to go deep into the ocean, it finally developed the first A supply ship: Class 905 oil-water dry cargo supply ship.

  This kind of supply ship has a full load displacement of more than 20,000 tons, and can transport more than 10,000 tons of fuel oil, more than 1,000 tons of diesel fuel, 200 tons of boiler water, 200 tons of drinking water and 50 tons of lubricating oil. There are four fuel supply tanks and two supply tanks on board, capable of replenishing three ships at the same time. At the same time, it is equipped with a flight deck at the tail, but there is no hangar, so the vertical replenishment capability is limited.

  There are a total of four 905-class supply ships, but only two are still in active service in the Navy, and the third ship was changed to the "Haicang" in 1980, with the hull number Nanyun 950. Decommissioned in 1989 and transferred to the Merchant Marine as a tanker.

  The fourth ship, "Nasr", with the original hull number 871, was directly delivered to the Laoba Navy after its completion in 1985, with the hull number A47.

At present, the navy is relying on two old 905s that have been in service for more than ten years as the only supply ship. The performance is too poor, and urgent tasks may not be successfully completed. Cheng Jiye was tempted.

  It's a pity that it is a flower in the mirror of the moon in the water, and it is impossible to realize it at all. The current leader Shen already knows how naive he is, and he smiles helplessly there.

  Qin Tao's mind was also spinning rapidly, the leader called him over, is it just to explain?

   Certainly not!

  What is that for?

  The answer is already on the horizon.

   "Now, the Red Empire has collapsed, and many of Lao Maozi's ships under construction have stopped." Qin Tao said: "We can buy a supply ship from Lao Maozi at a low price to meet the urgent needs of the navy."

  Purchase from Lao Maozi! This is the real reason why the leaders want to find Qin Tao!

  Destroyer 052 is under construction. According to the idea of ​​the high-level navy, after this advanced second-generation destroyer enters service, it plans to go abroad and visit some countries. Who will accompany it when the time comes? Is it still an old Type 905 comprehensive supply ship?

   Of course not! There must be an advanced supply ship!

  However, the navy has no money to build it, nor does it have world-leading technology, so, taking this opportunity, ask Qin Tao to help solve the problem.

   "I have inspected many shipyards in Lao Maozi." Qin Tao said, since he has decided to do this kind of thing, he should simply settle this matter.

"In the Black Sea Shipyard, there is a Fedeker-class supply ship. This supply ship was refitted from an oil tanker. It was originally planned to be equipped for Lao Maozi's navy, but now, with the collapse of the Red Empire, the construction of this ship is halfway through. The supply ship has been shut down."

  The eyes of all the people present were shining, looking at Qin Tao intently.

"This is a large supply ship with a full load displacement of 37,000 tons. It can hold up to 24,000 tons of supplies, including 20,000 tons of fuel oil, 2,000 tons of ammunition, 1,400 tons of food and 600 tons of fresh water. The supply capacity is our existing More than twice the supply ship." Qin Tao said everything he remembered.

In fact, he has never seen this ship at all. It is completely a memory from his previous life. After all, this ship finally crossed the ocean and became the largest Type 908 supply ship in the navy. After that, he accompanied the Type 052 destroyer and visited many countries. , can also be regarded as a star supply ship.

   "How is this ship?" Leader Shen asked excitedly.

"Its hull has been basically completed, and the engine and other systems have also been installed. However, many cables and pipelines on the ship have not yet been laid, which means that it is still in need of outfitting. This is a semi-finished product." Qin Tao said: "However, this It is also good for us, as long as we buy back the ship and its blueprints, then we can obtain the technology of world-class large-scale supply ships, and some equipment that we cannot produce temporarily can also be purchased from Da Mao, and then You can copy it yourself."

  Everyone nodded again and again, semi-finished products, you can also learn skills, that would be great!

  Although it is a warship, this comprehensive supply ship can also be used for both military and civilian purposes. Therefore, Ermao will not face too much pressure to sell this supply ship. If you go to buy Varyag, it will not be so easy.

"If its only flaw is that its power is too poor, its maximum speed is only a dozen knots." Qin Tao said: "This kind of speed cannot keep up with a warship moving at full speed, but it is still no problem for normal cruise. of."

  Warships are always in a cruising state during normal operation, that is, at a speed of more than ten knots. When encountering special circumstances, they will move at full speed to a speed of 30 knots. Therefore, the speed defect of the supply ship is not a big problem.

   "Boss Qin, we need this supply ship, I hope you can help coordinate." Leader Shen made up his mind.

Qin Tao nodded: "Don't be too anxious about this. On the one hand, it takes time for the navy to approve it at various levels. On the other hand, the old man has not yet recognized the situation. If we go to buy it at the door, the other party may talk loudly. .”

  Buying things requires skill.

  The Red Empire officially collapsed, and only a few days have passed. The independent countries are still in the fresh stage, thinking that they are still strong, and still fantasizing about a new life. At this time, I ran to the door to buy it, and the other party thought that this kind of thing was very popular, so they would definitely charge a high price.

  Qin Tao is there to collect trash, not to be taken advantage of.

   Only after a period of time, when their shipyard is unsustainable, will they deal with the junk they own. At that time, they can buy good things at a low price.

   "Yes, Mr. Qin, everything is up to you." Leader Shen is very happy. If the comprehensive supply ship of nearly 40,000 tons can be completed, it will definitely be the largest warship in the Navy's hands!

   "Well, I also have a request." Qin Tao said: "After buying this warship, it has to be outfitted in our Mingzhou Shipyard."

  Qin Tao can’t be a second-hand businessman for nothing. He has to get some benefits for his own shipyard. If the Navy wants to change submarines, Mingzhou Shipyard needs to take over. If the Navy wants to change comprehensive supply ships, it must be completed in its own factory!

   This is also a normal condition, so Leader Shen agreed immediately, even if he didn't have the relationship with Leader Wu, he had to agree, not to mention Qin Tao's already deep background.

   Another busy day.

   Returning to the comfort zone at night, Qin Tao was surprised to find that Vitalia's eye circles were actually red.

   "What's wrong?" Qin Tao asked curiously.

   "Qin, I'm leaving tomorrow, and I miss you very much." Vitalia said, "I really want to stay here forever."

   "There is no permanent banquet in the world. We will come to you again when we have time." Qin Tao said, a big stone in his heart has been let go, this Vitalia is finally leaving! I have been suffocating all this time, when you leave, we can live in a world of two!

  Zhao Ling is also very anxious. The surveying and mapping imitation work is carried out in an orderly manner, and she is very busy every day. What is the result? Now I have to play with Vitalia every day, she really wants to go back to work.

  However, looking at Vitalia's reluctance, she also felt a little sad about parting. Women are emotional animals.

   "It's a pity that I didn't find you a man you like here." Qin Tao said, "We can only wait later."

  Vitalia looked at Qin Tao with complicated eyes.

   It is too difficult to find a man like Qin Tao, and she can only leave the East and return to Moscow with such regrets.

  Her father needs her, because his career is getting bigger and bigger, so she has to help him.

Sending Vitalia away, Qin Tao let out a long breath: "It's easy to ask God to send God away, but finally I sent her away, Xiao Ling, I will stay in Huating for the most recent time, you You have to go home on time."

  Zhao Ling smiled and looked at Qin Tao: "You have to be a monk for a few days."

   "Why?"

   After hesitating, Qin Tao realized, is this an old relative visiting? How many days do you have to hold back?

  Let’s talk about it first, thanks to the large Mercedes-Benz G, Qin Tao can easily twist his body to the co-pilot, and then put his head on it.

   "Hey, it's not so good in the parking lot at the airport?"

   "It's not a car shock, what's wrong with it."

   "What is a car shock?"

"that is…"

   After saying this, he was interrupted by the ringtone of his mobile phone. Qin Tao could only poke his wife's lips, and then picked up the phone.

   "What? Okay, I'll go back right away!"

   "What's wrong?" Seeing Qin Tao's serious face, Zhao Ling felt ominous.

   "The construction of the dock has encountered some problems." Qin Tao said: "I have to go back and have a look."

   Those who stayed in the shipyard were already able to take care of themselves. Only when they couldn't solve it would they call Qin Tao to solve it.

  Dock construction? Only then did Zhao Ling breathe a sigh of relief, thinking it was a big deal.

   "Then are you coming back?"

   "Well, I'll come back when I'm settled over there." Qin Tao said, "At that time, I don't need to be a monk anymore."

  Zhao Ling smiled and said nothing, Qin Tao started the car: "Let's go, I'll take you back first."

   This Mercedes-Benz Big G is really cool to drive, not to mention the envious eyes on the side of the road. The tall body gives Qin Tao a feeling of seeing all the mountains and small things. It is much easier to drive than the Santana. Sure enough, successful people have to open big G.

  Qin Tao has walked this road countless times. That afternoon, the car returned to Mingzhou, parked on top of the dock under construction, and looked at the vast ocean below.

Kong Lao Er, who was in charge of the infrastructure construction, looked confused: "Mr. Qin, there is no way to build this place at all. After digging it down, we will start spraying water! We have thought of many ways, but we can't solve the problem. This dock, I'm afraid..."

To build a dock, you have to be by the river, and the soil by the river is a permeable layer, and if you dig it down, it will be water. They have thought of various ways to solve the problem before, but now, they are helpless. Qin Tao called back.

   If you re-select the site, it will waste more time, if you continue to do it, you will not be able to start!
