Chapter 26 Type 641 Submarine
Looking at the rusty submarine, Qin Tao had an indescribable feeling.
Once upon a time, these submarines were so elegant and unrestrained. They were ghosts in the ocean, and they could deliver a fatal blow to the enemy at any time. Even at their most glorious time, these submarines even went to Cuba and played hide-and-seek with the U.S. Navy. However, Now, the former veteran has reached his twilight years and is left here, dying, lamenting the harshness of the world.
In the 1950s, nuclear submarines had appeared. Although conventional submarines were not taken seriously, they were still an important weapon for the navy. Therefore, the navy of the Red Empire built two new conventional submarines, namely the large 641 and the medium 633. .
This type 641 conventionally powered submarine was designed by Ruby Design Bureau. Its water surface displacement is close to two thousand tons. It adopts a double-shell structure. The internal pressure-resistant shell is made of AK-25 steel. Its yield strength even exceeds that of the famous ones. The special steel HY-80 made in the United States for aircraft carriers ensures that it has sufficient diving depth.
These scrap irons can be taken back, dismantled, and re-smelted to become high-strength marine steel, which can be used on civilian ships and is absolutely invincible.
Although the profit from the dredger is not as high as that of the last time, the water flow is long and the clothing factory still has a lot of clothing in stock. After a few more trips, all four submarines can be exchanged.
Nicholas looked at Qin Tao beside him and said, "My friend, can you still accept this exchange ratio?"
The goods this time were half more than last time, but Nicholas also gave a lot of things. Ten cars, plus a submarine, would not let Qin Tao suffer. If Qin Tao wants to bargain...
"My friend, of course there is no problem with this. You have the final say on the exchange ratio. I believe you will not treat me badly." Qin Tao immediately expressed his position.
When he said this, Nicholas laughed heartily: "I like to do business with cheerful people like you. If it's my mother-in-law who bargains, then I won't bother to be friends with him."
"I also like to make friends with you." Qin Tao said: "You are also a cheerful person, but I have one more request."
"explain."
“I want to choose a boat that can still start the engine and drive it back directly. This can save some costs. If a tug is used..."
The dredger last time used an engine from the island country, and the quality was very good. Although it was impounded for several years, after simple treatment, it was successfully ignited in one go.
This is not necessarily the case for these old Soviet submarines. They are rusty and if they cannot be started, they will have to find a tugboat, which will be very costly.
"Of course it's no problem. I'll send a submarine mechanic over to accompany you for testing. If it can start, I'll send a few people to drive it back for you. If all four submarines can't start their engines, then I'll send a tugboat to you. Send it over!”
“Thank you!” Qin Tao was very happy. This Nicholas is so generous.
There is nothing wrong with this fact. When drinking, the mother-in-law picks up the wine glass three times and puts it down three times. She always fools others into drinking, and her own wine glass is always full. Such people usually Everything must be done with calculation and calculation.
Qin Tao drank a bottle of vodka in one go, which immediately made Nikolai like him, because Nikolai could see that Qin Tao was a cheerful person.
Everyone is a cheerful person, which makes doing business much easier.
"Comrade Warisi, thank you very much for your help." Qin Tao saw the submarine's mechanic Warisi coming over and immediately greeted him warmly. Nie Shiyu behind him skillfully took out a few small gifts from his handbag. .
“It’s an honor. Let’s start with the submarine B-474. This submarine was retired from active service the year before last. It should be in the best condition.”
Qin Tao nodded.
Looking at the steel submarine, Nie Shiyu frowned slightly.
“No, I want to go with you.” Nie Shiyu said, “Wherever you go, I will go.”
Anyway, it is estimated that Qin Tao will go back with the submarine. Nie Shiyu must overcome her fear and go in with Qin Tao. Otherwise, she will have to fly back to Vladivostok and then meet the people from the clothing factory. Went back together.
She doesn’t.
"The battery power has been completely exhausted." Varisi pulled the cable on the dock: "We need an external power supply, and first turn on the ventilation equipment inside to avoid danger."
There was a creaking sound, and the hatch on the top of the submarine's control tower, which had not been opened for more than two years, was opened by Varisi. He got in first, connected the cables from the shore to the inside of the submarine, and then turned on the ventilation and lighting device.
Amidst the whining sounds, Qin Tao climbed in second, and Nie Shiyu also climbed in with a frown.
Luckily I wasn’t wearing a skirt, otherwise it would have been too easy to get exposed by climbing the ladder.
Nie Shiyu climbed the ladder like a lady and entered the command cabin.
“Ouch!” Just as she turned around, her head hit a piece of equipment.
"What's wrong?"
“It’s okay, I accidentally bumped my head.” Nie Shiyu said.
"I'll beat it for you to vent your anger." Qin Tao stretched his hand towards the device as if coaxing a child, making a slapping gesture, but his eyes were fixed on a small blackboard for recording aside. superior.
The first row of Russian letters above made Qin Tao inexplicably excited.
65K wake homing torpedo launch experiment: has been successfully completed.
“The air is almost gone.” Varisi muttered: “Let’s go to the back cabin now to see if the engine at the back can be unsealed and started normally.”
“Comrade Varisi, can I go to the front and have a look?” Qin Tao said: “This is my first time entering the interior of a submarine, and I want to take a look.”
"Of course, I'll turn on all the internal lights." Varisi said, turning on several switches on the control tower.
Qin Tao took a deep breath, then bent over and walked towards the front cabin.
“Brother, I’ll go with you!” Nie Shiyu said and walked forward. This time, with experience, she kept her head down as much as possible to prevent being hit by various protruding things.
Although it looks rusty on the outside, the inside is okay. The submarine must maintain sufficient airtightness, otherwise it may enter after diving, so there is very little dust inside.
Qin Tao skillfully slipped through the passage and creaked open the door of the torpedo cabin in front. Before he had time to take a look at the front, there was another crashing sound from behind.
Nie Shiyu stuck out her tongue: "Brother, it's okay, I kicked over a bunch of wine bottles."
Nie Shiyu paid attention to the situation above her head, but ignored her feet. When she followed them, she came into close contact with a pile of wine bottles.
Looking at the scattered vodka bottles, Qin Tao shook his head helplessly. He turned back to look ahead, and then took a deep breath.
