Refitting ordinary boats and small boats can be done by ship repair yards. Zhou Qingfeng recently made a lot of money from Japan's "Jet" and "Fairy Water" business, and placed an initial modification order for two hundred ships to the Navy. He
Just one request, finish it as soon as possible while ensuring quality.
As the focus of the order, a recently retired 037 hunting submarine was given priority. Zhou Qingfeng planned to use this small boat of more than 400 tons as his flagship. The Navy's Xiangshan Ship Repair Yard took over this task.
By the way, Xiangshan Ship Repair Factory has been very unlucky in recent years. Do you know what they are doing after they "converted military to civilian"? Water purifiers, hardware appliances, fire-fighting supplies, civilian ship maintenance, sewage treatment equipment. Talking too much can make people cry.
Death is so embarrassing!
When the 037 submarine hunter was first shipped, the entire factory staff didn't think it was a big deal - wasn't it just a small boat of less than 500 tons? It was too simple to modify this thing. Just paint it, adjust the engine, and install it.
For the radar, remove the rocket depth bombs and tinker with the double-barreled 57-gun.
But following 037 came more than 20 long-decommissioned torpedo boats, missile boats and the like. The requirements were very simple. Remove the torpedoes and missile launchers, replace them with machine guns, improve the living environment, and install automated control equipment.
, reduce the number of crew members.
Wang Dade is an employee of Xiangshan Factory. His task is to modify an old torpedo boat and install a remote-controlled turret with a 23mm cannon inside.
"Who wants this stuff these days?" Wang Dade asked the military representative supervising the work.
The military representative was responsible for keeping an eye on the quality of the modifications, but he didn't know who wanted these junk. He could only give a vague answer: "The troops have their own considerations."
The 23mm cannon is a modified old aviation cannon in the warehouse. The gun is not very good, but the simple photoelectric sight on the turret is very special. It can detect targets five kilometers away and guide the cannon into a range of two kilometers.
Then attack.
The turret is completely automated and is controlled by personnel in the torpedo boat with the assistance of radar and other electronic equipment. Anyway, it’s just a fool’s errand, the simpler the better.
In addition to the strange turret, the modification of the power is also strange. Originally, torpedo boats were required to be fast, and running forty or fifty knots was common. However, in order to take care of the old engine, this modification only required a top speed of twenty-five knots and economical cruising.
A speed of around ten knots is enough.
According to Zhou Qingfeng's meaning - running too fast consumes too much fuel and I can't afford it!
This kind of modification does not cost much and takes very little time. Once you become proficient, you can complete one in a few days. Wang Dade will receive a reward of 5,000 yuan if he completes one. This greatly enhances his work enthusiasm, and he desperately wants more.
Do it more.
But what really makes Wang Dade jealous is the employee who modified the 037. The person behind the money said that the modification fee for other 037s is only 8 million. Let me do this first one well, and I will pay 20 million to modify it.
Make sure you change it beautifully for me!
For the purpose of magical transformation, all the electrical wiring and pipeline systems of this 037 were dismantled. The hull that was originally crammed with more than 70 people was finally designed to only need 12 people to control it, and various automatic control equipment and high-end living facilities were crammed in.
.
After reading the modification requirements, the military representative immediately felt that this was a wealthy man from a wealthy family who was modifying the yacht, and it was also an armed yacht.
Originally, 037 had two twin 57mm naval guns and two twin 25mm naval guns. In order to increase the firepower, the small naval guns were removed and replaced with three identical twin '57' naval guns. And
They are all fully automatic closed turrets, controlled by a computer in the cockpit under radar guidance.
This modification greatly increases the space inside the ship, doubles the fuel storage, provides a superior living environment, and greatly increases the firepower. The originally messy hull has become tidy, the appearance is powerful and domineering, and even the painting has a democratic standard. In short, the engineers must be worthy
Twenty million in modification fees!
After the ship was renovated, Zhou Qingfeng personally boarded the ship for a sea trial. He learned how to drive and control his sea vehicle. When he lightly swiped the mouse on the computer screen in the cab, three turrets and six main guns were activated at the same time.
Turn around, aim at the water target three kilometers away, and bombard it continuously.
One stroke at a time, it was like playing a game. There was a series of vibrations in the hull, and the fully automatic turret buzzed endlessly. With the assistance of the automatic loader, more than a hundred rounds of shells flew out in one breath. A few seconds later, the radar screen showed
The fast-moving target ship disappeared.
"Okay, very good!" Zhou Qingfeng looked at the screens of the weather radar and fire control radar in the cab, and then completed the operation of the high-power radio. He immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "I like this ship."
Everyone in the cab applauded, but most of the naval engineers who participated in the technical transformation were complaining: The wealthy man in front of me wearing makeup and a hood really doesn't understand! This automatic naval gun system is simple to use, but it also has its disadvantages.
It's too simple. A naval gun that can only hit three kilometers is useless!
"Should the remaining 037s be modified in this way?" Xiao Jinlang asked at the right time. He saw Zhou Qingfeng's excitement, but felt that it was too much of a loss to buy a small gunboat for only 20 million. It's just that people are stupid and have too much money.
The main thing is to cherish it.
This high-end version costs only 20 million a ship. Zhou Qingfeng immediately shook his head and said, "The rest will be changed according to the 8 million plan."
Xiao Jinlang sighed a little. The ship repair yard below hoped that all 037s would be modified according to the expensive plan. After all, there would be more oil and water this way!
Zhou Qingfeng couldn't wait for all the ships to be modified. After inspecting and accepting the first Super '037', he took the other modified torpedo boats and speedboats and left together. All the modified ships were hoisted into a bulk cargo ship
Heading to the open sea.
Halfway through last week, Qingfeng took his ship back to the wasteland. This time, he appeared outside the Havana port at night and called Lena Fox on the radio to send someone to receive these ships.
Back on the coast of Havana, Zhou Qingfeng said excitedly: "The total cost is about one billion, but it can fully improve our coastal defense capabilities. And we can also sell part of it to get a lot of trade income."
After receiving the modification plan handed over by Zhou Qingfeng, Lina looked through it carefully on the shore. When she found out that Victor wanted to get thousands of small armed speedboats at one go, she immediately laughed and said: "If these things are sold,
If we go, the whole Caribbean will be in chaos."
"It's good for us to have order in chaos, and chaos under our control." Zhou Qingfeng doesn't care about the life or death of others. He can only protect his own home first. "At least we must contain those smuggling ships, otherwise we will
There could really be a massive riot here."
Miss Fox was now also frightened by the increasing number of refugees gathering around the city. After hearing this, she nodded and said: "We really have to find a way to divert these refugees away, otherwise they will cause us huge trouble if they cause trouble."
"By the way! Is there anyone selected for the commander of the African advance team I want?" Zhou Qingfeng asked again.
"Yes, your old subordinate Qin Weidong hopes to lead the team himself."
