Chapter 1,166 Setting the Aircraft Carrier on Fire
We can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, Daniel will still be unable to bear it. Using fire water to cool down can only alleviate it, but not eradicate it!
If there were modern tools here, they could be demolished violently. However, this place is too primitive. It is so primitive that there is no electric saw and only manual operation. How do these people usually process parts? But when you think about it, there is no industry at all.
You can understand it.
The canopy cannot be removed, let alone the aircraft. After all, the outer skin of the aircraft is easy to disassemble, but the titanium alloy structural frame inside is not easy to dismantle. It is too unrealistic to dismantle the aircraft to save Daniel.
I can only turn to the Easterners for help.
Vinicius called again, this time lowering his stance.
"A good friend of ours is trapped in the plane. Now his life is threatened. I hope you can show your kindness and let him out first. We can talk about the expenses of the plane and warship later."
"This is a Westerner, and he is also a Western fighter designer. He got on the plane to steal the secrets of our aircraft. This was strictly prohibited in our original contract." The other side was still calm.
"I don't know what's going on with that bullshit contract..." Vinicius wanted to curse the other party again, but after being tapped twice on the shoulder, he finally calmed down: "Okay, what do you want?
As long as this friend can be released as soon as possible, we are willing to accept it."
"This aircraft currently still has a debt of 30 million US dollars. We will not talk about other aircraft and warships. Speaking of this aircraft alone, if you want to unlock the fighter plane, you need to pay the entire balance in one go.
, after that, this fighter plane will belong to you, and a similar situation will not happen again."
Thirty million U.S. dollars! Vinicius cursed secretly in his heart, but he couldn't say anything else: "Okay, then I'll listen to you. We will transfer 30 million U.S. dollars to your company. You can unlock this plane as soon as possible. We
My friends can’t hold it any longer!”
"Thirty million US dollars is just the unlocking fee for the fighter plane. However, you let our competitors board this aircraft, causing a serious leak. According to our original contract, you still need to compensate us. We only charge 70 million US dollars in compensation."
Just pay the money, so you need to pay a total of 100 million U.S. dollars. As soon as the payment is received, we will unlock the fighter jets immediately."
"One hundred million dollars! You are simply robbing money!" Vinicius became even more angry.
Thirty million dollars, he gritted his teeth and accepted it. One hundred million dollars, what a joke!
To put it bluntly, Daniel's life is not worth 100 million US dollars! Why should he spend 100 million US dollars to help Daniel get out?
"When you think about it, call us again."
Beep, beep, beep! The other party hung up the phone again.
Daniel's men looked at him seriously: "Mr. Vinicius, it is all your fault that Mr. Daniel is trapped. If Mr. Daniel has an accident, you will not end well! We in the United States will not sit idly by and ignore our
The aircraft carrier formation is nearby!"
You have an aircraft carrier, and we also have an aircraft carrier! Vinicius was angry, but looking at the locked ship island, he suppressed his words again and put on a bitter expression.
"Of course we want to save Mr. Daniel, but the other party wants 100 million, 100 million U.S. dollars. Where can we find so much money? Otherwise, let's use directional blasting to blow up the plane and save Mr. Daniel.
come out?"
Even if they don't want this plane, they definitely can't waste this money.
"Of course not. If directional blasting is used, the fighter plane will definitely be ignited. By then, Mr. Daniel will be completely hopeless!"
Are you kidding? Isn’t it boring to blast on an airplane? The aluminum alloy skin and composite materials used in the airplane are easily ignited, not to mention the fuel inside. Moreover, the Mingzhou Group exported
There is something weird about this kind of airplane. Now that the remote control is up, there might be a remote explosion or something like that. If they try to mess with it, the plane might explode and Daniel will die inside.
Daniel is the most important aircraft designer in Skunk Works. He is still responsible for the design of the X-35. At this time, nothing can happen to him! Moreover, if something happens, the other party can still absolve themselves of responsibility and you can do the blasting yourself.
, burning the designer to death, what does it have to do with us?
Not to mention the explosion, even cutting the canopy would probably be dangerous.
"Then what should we do? We will definitely not be able to raise US$100 million," Vinicius said.
"Then how much can you collect?"
"The most we can scrape together is $30 million."
The US$30 million was the balance of the aircraft that had not yet been paid. They accepted it, but they would never agree to the compensation demanded by the Orientals for the leak of secrets caused by Daniel's entry.
Are you kidding? Americans want to come and see it. It has nothing to do with us. Seventy million dollars, what a huge sum of money!
"Then you raise 50 million US dollars, and we will find a way to raise 50 million US dollars to pay the Easterners to unlock the plane, but the plane must be owned by us!"
If Lockheed Company were to spend 50 million US dollars to save an aircraft designer, it would be impossible. After all, capitalists never do charity, but if it were to spend 50 million US dollars to buy an aircraft
The J-31A prototype is a very good deal.
Vinicius and the others lost their wives and soldiers. Not only did they spend money, but they also lost their planes. However, as a certificate of surrender to the Americans, this price must be accepted.
Vinicius nodded: "Okay."
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and raise money!"
Half an hour later, the money was finally collected.
"Hey, we have collected the money and will transfer it to you now. Please unlock the fighter plane immediately. The distinguished guests inside will not be able to bear it!"
"We need to confirm receipt of the payment. After all, there may be problems with the payment system you use." The other party was very polite.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Entering the 21st century, the international monetary payment system is getting faster and faster. Unlike before, it may take a day or two to arrive, but it still takes time.
Yes, there is room for manipulation. In fact, over the years, the East has been building its own international currency payment system, but it has not become independent. No matter which process it takes, it can be done.
"Okay, we'll pay immediately."
Half an hour later.
Beep beep beep...with three soft beeps, the canopy of the J-31A slowly opened. Daniel slumped on the seat, unable to get up. He seemed to have walked through hell.
This damn airplane, this damn design! At this time, Daniel wanted to curse, but his whole body was so weak that he had no strength to curse. He looked at the assistant outside: "Peter, thank you."
"Mr. Daniel, you are our important R&D personnel. Nothing can happen to you. How are you doing now?" Pete asked with concern.
"I'm still alive." Daniel said, and then he thought of something: "Is this plane ours now?"
"Yes, it is already ours." Peter said: "When we fly this aircraft back, we can take it apart and study it. We will soon complete the development of our vertical take-off and landing fighter, especially the most important one.
The vertical take-off and landing system can be done by the Easterners, and we can certainly do it, we just don’t know the secret.”
When will the famous Skunk Works be reduced to mapping and copying other people's products? Daniel felt helpless for a while, but he also knew that now was not the time to show off. They needed to research technology and solve the urgently needed fighter aircraft problem in the country.
"This aircraft has a good range. If it takes off from here and flies in a single line, it can fly to Europe. If we are afraid of insufficient fuel, we can also attach two external auxiliary fuel tanks."
Stealth aircraft do not have any external plug-ins, which will destroy the stealth, but this does not mean that stealth aircraft cannot be externally plugged in. When stealth is not a concern, various external equipment can also be installed, such as cannon pods and bombs.
, such as auxiliary fuel tanks, when performing transition tasks, it is also a routine operation to hang auxiliary fuel tanks on both sides.
"No, first remove the satellite antenna on the plane." Daniel said.
The aircraft was locked remotely, and it must have been through commands sent from the outside world. For such a long distance, satellite is the best choice.
Now that the aircraft has been unlocked, according to the Orientals, the remaining balance of the aircraft has been paid and the compensation has been paid. Therefore, the aircraft should belong to the customer. However, who knows what the cunning Orientals will do.
What's coming?
The satellite antenna must be dismantled to avoid being controlled by the outside world! No more accidents can happen. A few years ago, they planned a failed operation. After analysis, if the satellite antenna was dismantled at that time, there should be no problem.
.
"Okay, let's dismantle it immediately!" Peter looked at Daniel again: "Will you come out?"
"I'll take a break first, give me a cup of coffee." Daniel said, he had to take a break here, otherwise he wouldn't have enough energy.
"Well, if we dismantle the satellite antenna, will there be any accidents?"
If you don't come out now, what if it closes again after a while? Wouldn't that make you blind?
After hearing what Peter said, Daniel was also shaken. Yes, who knows if he will continue to trick people, so he stood up hard: "Okay, I'll go down."
Fortunately, a ramp has been set up next to it, which is specially used for repairing fighter aircraft. The big guys can help Daniel down. Daniel left the cockpit and sat on the ramp, unable to move anymore. It was like a nightmare just now.
.
Daniel's crisis was temporarily relieved, but Vinicius's troubles continued. He looked at the confused men on the deck, then at the closed door of the ship island, and then gritted his teeth: "Break open the door for me!"
How to break it? Use a hacksaw?
Of course not! They have better tools!
Although they did not have electric saws, they still had cutting guns, which they borrowed from a nearby repair shop. The cutting guns were mounted and they quickly cut open the hatch of the ship island.
What's the use of closing the door? The worst we can do is destroy the door!
"Report, the door inside is still closed!"
"Keep cutting!"
There is nothing to hesitate about. Since the hatch is closed, let’s continue cutting!
The shirtless black worker held an oxygen acetylene gun in his hand and continued to cut inside. For them, this should be a very simple matter.
One hatch, two hatches, three hatches... Their movements became more and more skillful, and finally they reached the hatch of the bridge. As long as the bridge was opened, they could go inside to command the warship. As for those cut-out hatches,
Just keep the doors open. They don't usually close the hatch doors anyway, so just pretend that the hatch doors don't exist.
Vinicius is very calm. From now on, he will be the commander of the entire navy. He will sit on this super aircraft carrier and command the navy's battles!
Wait, why is there a puff of smoke coming out of it?
"No, something is on fire inside!"
It is very dangerous to use oxygen-acetylene flames in a closed space inside the ship island. If you are not careful, it may cause a fire. On this point, the old man who repaired the Kuznetsov in another time and space has the best words.
Quan, Ah San also has sad past, now, it is finally the turn of the sunspots.
Alarm, fire alarm!
A sharp alarm sounded on the aircraft carrier. At this time, Vinicius was dumbfounded. How could this happen? After a few minutes, he realized: "Quick, put out the fire!"
It's too late! It would have been very easy to put out the flames when they first started burning. Now, the flames have burned throughout the entire island, and it's hard to save them.
Seeing the increasingly thick smoke on the island, Daniel no longer rested.
"Quick, hire a pilot immediately and fly this plane away!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The sunspots should not be able to handle such a big flame. It will probably spread to the entire warship. If their plane does not fly quickly, it will probably also encounter
Unexpected.
A black pilot got into the cockpit and made preparations for takeoff according to the training method in the East. Although a fire was burning next to him, he still did not panic, showing his strong quality.
A minute later, the engine roared, the hatch behind the fuselage began to slowly rise, and it began to take off and land vertically!
Daniel and others had already retreated to the dock. They watched the plane gently leave the deck and then turned to level flight, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.
"This plane is low on fuel and should not be able to fly to Europe. Should we provide mid-air refueling or land directly in Morocco?" Peter asked Daniel.
I originally planned to hang two auxiliary fuel tanks, which would be safer, but who would have thought that the aircraft carrier actually caught fire and had to be forced to take off. The choice of route became a big problem.
"For aerial refueling, do our tankers match their refueling pipes?" Daniel asked.
The entire NATO aerial refueling device is matched and can be refueled at any time to avoid logistical supply chaos during war. Although the U.S. Air Force is the only one that uses hard-tube refueling, their tankers still have hoses. Oriental's
Aerial refueling technology started with the introduction of British aerial refueling pipes. It is said that it can match, but now, who can guarantee it?
"have no idea."
"Then we don't want to take any risks. We'll notify Morocco to receive the aircraft, refuel it on the ground, and then fly to our European base," Daniel said.
"Understood." His subordinates went to make arrangements, but for some reason, Daniel always felt uneasy.
At this time, the flames on the aircraft carrier continued to grow, and suddenly, flames also appeared in the hangar below.
Vinicius's face turned pale. He had given up the rescue and evacuated the aircraft carrier with his men. After all, the hangar below had caught fire, and there was nothing he could do!
This day is an unforgettable day for many people. Their largest warship, the first aircraft carrier in Africa, was burned into an empty shell in the fire, except for the J-31 that flew away.
Except A, the remaining carrier-based aircraft were burned along with the aircraft carrier!
The fire burned until late at night. As the aircraft carrier slowly sank, the fire finally disappeared. This incident quickly spread throughout the world.
The next day, major Western newspapers began to report on it.
There is a problem with the construction quality of Mingzhou Group’s aircraft carrier!
A fire broke out in the aircraft carrier built by Mingzhou Group, and the entire aircraft carrier was burned into an empty shell!
Mingzhou Group needs to compensate the Guinean Navy for a new aircraft carrier!
Over the years, Mingzhou Group has developed too fast. Among other things, the speed of building aircraft carriers cannot be kept up by others. All shipbuilding companies around the world are itching to see it. How can they let go of such an opportunity to throw dirty water?
Faced with these slanders, Mingzhou Group was not ambiguous and immediately produced evidence.
"Dear viewers, welcome to the new episode of Zhang Zhongshuo's program. This program is called Zhang Zhongshuo's aircraft carrier fire. We have all the latest video materials of the Guinea Navy aircraft carrier fire accident here. You can take a look first."
Video!
The aircraft carrier built by Mingzhou Group for the Guinea Navy is advanced and has many cameras on it, allowing the bridge to clearly see the situation in every place on the warship. At the same time, these video signals can also be transmitted back to Mingzhou Group through satellites.
This is not surprising. The camera of an electric car can transmit the captured video to the place where the data is wanted to be obtained, let alone an aircraft carrier.
"We can see that because the hatch is locked, they used the most brutal and violent method, using oxygen and acetylene flames! We know that using this kind of cutting equipment in the confined space of a warship is very dangerous, even if
Fires may occur during the maintenance of warships, not to mention this kind of proactive arson. Even if it is reported to the insurance company, they may not compensate you, but will call the police instead, because this is a deliberate arson!"
"Let's look at it again. They set fires continuously all the way to the navigation bridge. We know that there are a lot of equipment and a lot of cables in the navigation bridge, which are strictly to prevent the source of fire. But now, they have used the most brutal method.
In the same way as arson, we can cut the picture in half and compare it."
How many cameras are there? You can actually see the inside and outside clearly!
You can see that outside, several Heizi workers are operating the oxygen-acetylene flame cutting hatch, while inside, there are several buckets of paint placed next to the hatch!
