In a warehouse at the Port of Nassau, a high-pressure boiler was quietly placed among a pile of debris. Next to the boiler were a large number of accessories and several rusty oil tanks, which contained kerosene.
An engineer from the Newport News Shipyard was very confused after inspecting it, "These oil tanks seem to have been here for decades, and it doesn't look like they were just transported. There is a lot of kerosene in the tanks.
The quality is very poor, but it can be used to spray coal to improve combustion value.
And that boiler is even more amazing. Although it looks very old, there is still some fresh circulating water in the boiler, as if it has just been repaired. All parts have been lubricated and are running well.
Oh..., speaking of lubrication. I also found a large amount of lubricating butter in the boiler. The packaging looks like old goods that have been stored for decades, but it can basically still be used, but the appearance is not very good. It can be said that the things here are exactly the same.
What we need right now solves all our problems perfectly, it’s amazing!”
It's really amazing. This scene made a bunch of engineers who came to check the situation stunned. Everyone was thinking: Why is it such a coincidence? Everything we want is here. It is simply a blessing from God!
"Hahaha..., this is just a coincidence. I found it just by looking around. If this thing can be used, just transport it away immediately." Zhou Qingfeng left the warehouse in a relaxed manner.
Dr. Rezzo had no time to delve into the reason. Now the battleship assembly was in a hurry. He quickly called in cranes and trailers to transport all the equipment here to the ship repair yard. Before a stable fuel supply was obtained, the ship repair yard was
The only unit that can freely use internal combustion engine vehicles.
After Zhou Qingfeng settled the high-pressure boiler matter, he reported it to Lena Fox on the radio. The understatement of "done" made the little fox smile as if he had stolen a chicken.
However, the boiler incident reminded Zhou Qingfeng that what he could get from the real world was not just some old clothes, he could also get some scrap industrial products.
There are too few skilled workers in the Nassau ship repair yard, and the industrial equipment is not complete. It might be okay to do some repairs, but if we really want to mass-produce certain equipment, we will continue to encounter problems such as being unable to weld high-pressure boilers.
As for the machine repair shop that Zhou Qingfeng just visited in real life, there was a lot of rusty equipment and materials that no one wanted. If they could get it from the wasteland, it would be of great use. You must know that the wasteland is very short of things.
There are many. Sometimes the issue is whether to have it first, and the technology does not need to be too advanced.
The work of adjusting the boiler, re-testing, and final outfitting are also going on day and night. This situation has not been publicized. As '007', Mr. Wade is a worker who controls the rolling mill and has no idea at all.
, not to mention informing the 'Enclave' of the follow-up situation.
However, as the current controller of the waters of Cuba and the Bahamas, military advisor Mr. George does not want to see the possibility of further improvements and launches of the "Aurora Legion" warships. Although he is arrogant, he also knows that he cannot allow his opponents to continue to develop.
Now that there is a problem with the opponent's boiler, we must take this opportunity to completely shatter the opponent's dream of conquering the ocean - destroying the "Aurora Legion" ship repair yard in Nassau is the best way.
"Let's go to Nassau to teach that yellow-skinned monkey a lesson. Let him know that the ocean does not belong to the inferior yellow race, but only to our noble white people." George encouraged his eight armed speedboats before the war.
The fleet, which weighs less than a thousand tons, is currently the king of the Caribbean.
However, before setting off, George's fleet was not without trouble. "It takes more than a thousand nautical miles to go back and forth to Nassau, so we need to prepare more diesel."
Armed speedboats are originally used for offshore patrols, and their range is limited and they cannot travel too far. For them, going from Havana to Nassau is simply an expedition. To fill the fuel tanks of the George Fleet, hundreds of tons of diesel are required.
Considering the limited production capacity of the Havana Refinery, calling hundreds of tons of diesel requires the consent of many people. The information was quickly spread to the ears of Lena Fox, who was in Matanzas.
"Miss Fox, a smuggler named Coma sent us a message saying that the entire George fleet in Havana was dispatched. Not only did they fill the fuel tanks, but they also brought many oil barrels with them," the assistant reported.
"The entire dispatch also comes with a lot of oil barrels?" Lena Fox frowned. The attack on Matanzas from Havana is not far away, and there is no need to bring extra fuel. This shows that the George fleet must be going further. "
Inform Nassau that the Enclave's small fleet should be headed in their direction."
"It will take about a day to cover a distance of 500 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 24 knots." Zhou Qingfeng, who received the news in Nassau, only glanced at the map to know when the enemy would arrive.
But according to Dr. Rezzo's report, even if a suitable high-pressure boiler is obtained, it will take two days to complete the entire battleship modification and testing. In other words, it will take at least two days before the steam battleship can be driven out to scare people, and the actual combat effectiveness is still questionable.
"Don't let the enemy get close to the Nassau ship repair yard in the past two days." Zhou Qingfeng could only try his best to stop it.
Should we dispatch the ac-130u? This trump card is easy to use, but this trump card is an authentic oil tiger. After using it, the oil depot in Nassau will cry. It is better not to dispatch this thing unless it is absolutely necessary.
Deploy suicide drones? Facts have proved that unless it is unexpected, slow drones can easily be shot down by machine guns. Doing so will only waste precious drones.
After thinking for a long time, Zhou Qingfeng didn't have a good idea. In the end, he had to come up with a no-brainer solution - install rapid-fire cannons and Javelin missiles on a dozen small steamers, and arrange them near the Nassau port and ship repair yard.
Floating turret prevents enemies from approaching your key points.
"Floating fort? Is this thing useful?" Katarina was based in Nassau and was responsible for training the army and police together with Minsk. When she heard that the enemy was attacking, she naturally came to discuss it with Zhou Qingfeng.
"Our small steamer can't run fast and has no armor. We can only drop anchor and stay near the harbor waiting for the opponent to come. The only way is to equip it with better weapons. We can't defeat it, and we can't run away. At least we have to defend it.
Stay."
This kind of passive defense has completely lost its flexibility and is just a posture waiting to be beaten. But even so, Catalina had to remind Zhou Qingfeng: "We don't have much inventory of Javelin missiles brought out from New York. Save it."
Click."
Alas..., as a leader, Zhou Qingfeng has to find ways to maintain this group as the commander of the army. Now..., by the way, the enemy will not be so stupid as to directly hit my circle of fire.
