Chapter 460 There are frogmen under the water
The Yankees were completely passive. Everyone was thinking about this matter, and no one noticed the movements on the Moldova side.
In the Decebar Air Force Base in Moldova, MiG-29s have their wings removed, welcoming the rays of the setting sun.
When it was dark, Prokochuk came back, and he brought a large group of superiors. These people stretched out their hands and shook hands with Qin Tao and others warmly.
“Thank you very much for coming and hope our transaction goes smoothly!”
The charm of money is so great!
Qin Tao had never been here before and didn’t know the people here. However, after issuing ten bank cards worth two million US dollars, everything fell into place.
That night, the MiG-29 with its wings removed was loaded onto a transport plane and left the country under the dark night. Qin Tao, Qasim and others also left under the dark night.
After a day and two nights of hard work, Qin Tao was also tired. After returning to the villa on the Crimean Peninsula, he fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was already dusk.
"Mr. Qin, good news." Seeing that Qin Tao woke up naturally, he excitedly came to tell Qin Tao the news.
"What good news?" Qin Tao was still a little confused at this time and didn't know what good news there was.
“Er Mao has seen through the ugly faces of those guys and decided to sell the Admiral Lobov to us!”
"What?" Qin Tao was shocked when he heard the news.
What, this is impossible! He subconsciously wanted to deny the news.
When Qin Tao came, he had no intention of sending the Glory-class cruiser back. In his plan, this warship was a bit useless, and it was also difficult to get, so he gave up.
I didn’t expect that there would be such a good opportunity!
This is simply pie in the sky!
"Mr. Qin, what are you doing?" Seeing Qin Tao jump off the bed, Xu Zhengyang was a little curious.
“Go back, why are you taking a vacation? Use the shortest time to complete the reception of this warship.” Qin Tao said, so as not to be damaged by others.
Thinking of being sabotaged, Qin Tao suddenly had an idea: "Especially underwater, you must protect yourself! Immediately organize people to hang a circle of fishing nets around the warship, and hang a few bells on top of the fishing nets. !”
The three-day deadline has just arrived, and the handover of warships still takes a certain amount of time. During this time, there are too many opportunities to take action.
Although it is straightforward to blow up a warship with a missile, it will also cause many problems, so some gentle methods must be used. In later generations, a natural gas pipeline in a certain country was bombed, but Qin Tao still remembers it fresh.
There are many ways for those who want to cause destruction. Of course, it is also easy to prevent those people from causing destruction.
There are a large number of underwater listening equipment on modern military port docks. Once you hear a frogman approaching, you can find it immediately. As for now, the 61 Commune Shipyard does not have such advanced equipment, but there are other s method.
Fishing nets are the simplest.
As night falls, everything is quiet in the 61 Commune Shipyard.
Several off-road vehicles roared and drove towards the pier. After the vehicles stopped, Moskalenko got off the top and shouted loudly: "Quick, quick! Everyone move faster!"
A group of people filed down, dragging the fishing nets, towards the pier.
Setting up fishing nets on the shore had never happened before. However, the order was urgent and important, so Moskalenko did not dare to delay and made the arrangements himself. He had already vaguely thought of something.
Those **** Yankees!
The other party was indeed playing tricks. He had no intention of actually making the purchase. He even refused to pay the deposit and delayed the purchase for three days. He showed no sincerity at all.
Thanks to Mr. Qin’s reminder, I was not fooled. However, those hateful Yang Ji would probably use other means to interfere.
If they dare to send frogmen to plant bombs underwater...that will completely touch their scales!
The fishing net surrounded the warship, and a dozen bells were tied to the floats of the fishing net.
"Chernowski, you stay and supervise. If there is any noise under the water, shoot underwater!" Moskalenko said fiercely.
Chernosky and a platoon of people were scattered on the cruiser and the dock, waiting quietly in the dark night.
Time passed little by little, and their eyelids began to fight.
Chernosky rubbed his eyes and looked towards the outside of the ship. At this moment, a bell on the float made a slight sound.
Ding Dong!
Is it driven by sea water?
who cares!
Chernosky pulled the bolt of the gun, pointed it at the water below, and pulled the trigger.
Da da da!
The gun spit out tongues of flame, and a bunch of bullets shot through the water!
In the air, bullets can travel very far, but it is different in water.
The resistance of water is too great, and it is very unfriendly to spirally advancing bullets. Due to the resistance, the bullet advances a short distance in the water and then starts to roll, almost like entering the human body.
In this way, the trajectory of the bullet begins to distort, and you don't know where the bullet will fly.
So, special underwater firearms fire arrow-like bullets, and Lao Maozi’s special forces have this equipment.
Ordinary soldiers don't have this kind of equipment, but they don't care, as long as the bullets go down, it's just aimless shooting anyway.
The sound of gunshots immediately woke up the people on the side, and nearby soldiers also ran over, pointed their guns downward, and opened fire together.
Tat-tat-tat, tat-tat-tat!
The muzzle of the gun spit out tongues of flame, which looked so spectacular. Countless bullets poured into the water. When all the bullets were fired, Chernosky was of course surprised to find that something red appeared on the water.
Blood, that’s blood, there are people under the water!
“Sure enough, someone wants to cause trouble for us!” Chernosky shouted: “Bring it up and let us see who is causing trouble for us behind our backs!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chernosky saw the special color under the water, fire rising from the water, and bubbles churning on the surface. He immediately shouted: "Be careful, lie down!"
Boom!
An explosion sounded underwater, and huge air currents slapped the warship, making a buzzing sound. Ermao's soldiers lay on the deck, their faces pale.
What are these guys doing?
Body parts are slowly floating up, including arms and legs with webbed feet.
“Get these things up!” said Chernosky.
The movement here has attracted the attention of others. Moskalenko, who stayed on duty in the shipyard office, rushed over. When he saw the recovered body parts, his face was extremely ugly.
“Thanks to our advance arrangements, otherwise, our ship would have sunk. We are not done with these **** guys!”
This matter spread quickly.
The next morning, when Qin Tao was having dinner with others in the hotel in Nikolayev City, Xu Zhengyang talked about what happened last night with great interest.
“Mr. Qin, you are so amazing. Yesterday, you proposed to arrange fishing nets around the warship. It was really effective. That night, someone came over to plant a bomb!”
"I seem to have heard gunshots and explosions. What's going on?" Zheng Ming was a little nervous. He really didn't sleep well last night.
"Gunshots? We just suggested setting up fishing nets. Ermao was even more ruthless. He directly arranged a platoon of people with AKs. When he heard some movement below, he immediately grabbed a boat and went down. The guy below was really unlucky. He actually He was hit!" Speaking of this, Xu Zhengyang was in high spirits: "The explosives that guy carried should have been detonated by himself. He is also a ruthless person. However, they were not all blown into pieces, and there were still a few large pieces left. , I guess Ermao is currently investigating the remains of these corpses and confirming their identities."
It is quite an old-fashioned style to open fire at the slightest disagreement. Qin Tao was also filled with emotion after hearing this.
In this way, they are completely at odds with each other.
“It seems that we are almost certain to buy this warship.” Qin Tao said.
He was just a reminder yesterday, not really sure. After all, those guys don't want to spend money, so they can only use other means, maybe send frogmen over. This kind of ship has not been officially put into service yet, and there is no damage. Management personnel, as long as one hole is blown, the whole ship will sink. Once it sinks, there is really no way to sell it.
Just like a car soaked in water, once the computer version is soaked in water, it will break. Even if it is dried and used again, who can guarantee that there will be no accidents? If you were driving fine on the highway and suddenly stalled, wouldn't you be killed?
There are more electronic devices on warships, and they cannot enter water. They are completely different from the warships during World War I and World War II.
Who would have thought that the other party would actually come and not want to wait all day.
If this thing is done and the person runs away, then they can shirk the blame afterwards. We don’t know who did it. We strongly condemn this behavior, but now, if they are caught and punished on the spot, they are considered If you want to make excuses, the evidence is solid.
Qin Tao did not expect that things would go so smoothly.
"Yes, nine out of ten." Zheng Ming also became excited. He didn't have much hope at first, but now, his hope is getting bigger. He has met a pig opponent, which is really something worth celebrating.
After dinner, everyone went to the shipyard.
"Mr. Qin, thanks to your reminder last night, otherwise we would have been harmed by these **** guys!" Moskalenko was a little scared when he mentioned this matter. If there were no arrangements last night, it would have been a blast. With one sound, this warship will be sunk!
I thought they were good friends, but they deceived them ruthlessly, flickering them to dismantle nuclear -powered aircraft carriers, and now they have to fool their cruisers. After no results, they have to play overcast.
Hateful, so abominable!
"A thousand days of being a thief, a thousand days of guarding against thieves." Qin Tao said: "Director Moskalenko, it is still quite dangerous for this warship to stay in the port. I suggest that this warship be inflated fuel, and then drive out of the port, even if it sails on the Black Sea first, it is safer than being in the port."
Still dangerous?
Moskalenko was a little surprised, those guys dare to come again?
Of course not. If this kind of conspiracy fails once, how dare you do it a second time? However, Qin Tao must create this sense of crisis for them!
“But we don’t have money for fuel!” Moskalenko said.
Although their shipyard is still in operation, it is too difficult to maintain such a large shipyard and there are too many places to spend money. Therefore, it is impossible for them to continue to spend one more cent on this warship that they have planned to sell. Money.
"We can pay for fuel, but we must let our people go up. It just so happens that we can practice the operation of this warship in the Black Sea." Qin Tao said, "When the formalities are completed, we will drive this warship Boat and head straight home.”
Moskalenko was still hesitant.
"If you follow what we said, then this ship will be considered delivered to us. If anything happens in the future, it will still be considered ours. If it remains at the port, you will be responsible for any problems." Qin Tao said.
This sentence was the most damaging. Moskalenko nodded immediately: "Okay, no problem."
So, the fuel truck drove over to refuel the warship. The people Zheng Ming brought excitedly boarded the warship and began to familiarize themselves with the operation. The manpower was definitely not enough. The country was mobilizing new manpower to come over on passenger planes.
While we were busy on the dock, Asnayev came.
“My friend, how long will our purchase process take?” Qin Tao asked Asnayev: “Will there be any more changes?”
When I purchased Varyag, I went through a lot of twists and turns. It was originally agreed upon and went through a bidding process.
Asnayev shook his head: "Of course not. Now, there are serious protests against those guys in the capital! How dare you engage in such sabotage on our land? You don't take us seriously! Eh! , are you guys cheering?"
"Yes, in order to avoid other injuries, we decided to take the boat out. After all, they have been prepared. The fishing net may not work next time." Qin Tao said.
This time I used a fishing net to find an underwater frogman. What about next time? Next time the other party has experience, he will definitely not hit the fishing net. He will find something to cut open and get in.
The port on their side, as Lao Maozi's large warship production base, once had underwater listening equipment, but in recent years, these equipment have broken down due to lack of maintenance.
Asnayev nodded: "Okay, you can sail out. We will handle the relevant procedures as soon as possible and try to complete it within three days. By then, you can sail the ship away."
"What happened yesterday? I'm very curious." Qin Tao continued to ask: "What did you salvage?"
"It was the SEALs who did it. We salvaged a piece of arm, and the diving watch on it has the SEALs' logo and number. Now, those **** Yankees say someone is setting the blame, huh, we won't believe them. !”
When they talked about this, they became very angry.
These **** people actually do this kind of thing. What annoys them even more is that now that the evidence is conclusive, they are still making excuses!
What is the blame for, and who will blame them? SEAL team equipment is not available to outsiders.
Qin Tao nodded: "It's so dangerous. If this warship is bombed and sunk, we can only say we are sorry."
“That’s right, you can just drive it away. By the way, you can also test its air defense radar system. If there are anti-ship missiles coming from somewhere, you can detect it in advance.”
“Then we have to bring a few anti-aircraft missiles.” Qin Tao said: “If they are discovered, there must be a way to counterattack.”
It can be discovered if the radar is turned on, but what happens after it is discovered?
Just discovered it, and then watched helplessly as the opponent's missiles flew over? It's better not to discover it, and you don't have to experience the pain of those dozens of seconds.
In fact, this worry is completely in vain. No matter how bold those guys are, they would not dare to do such a blatant thing. It is unprecedented to send a frogman from the SEAL team. If they really dare to use missiles, they are simply openly attacking the enemy. Ermao provoked.
However, we should take advantage of this opportunity to extort something more.
“An S-300 missile can be inserted into one launch unit.” Moskalenko said: “Other anti-aircraft missile systems have not been installed, and the entire combat system has not been activated. Only this missile system has been installed.”
This thing is very similar to the ones on the two 051Cs. It also uses a passive phased array radar. However, in order to prevent moisture, the Navy made it round and installed it on the helicopter hangar on the stern of the ship. It was named 3R41. Wave (top mask passive phased array radar.
This huge radome has a diameter of 4 meters and a detection range of 150 to 300 kilometers. It can track 6 targets at the same time and guide 12 missiles to attack. At that position, it will definitely lead to a blind spot in the front hemisphere. At the same time, this thing is rotating and guiding the missile to intercept, and it is estimated that it cannot intercept in all directions.
However, this system is good. For Qin Tao, this is very important. There is no need to change it after returning. It can be used directly. Anyway, the missile is still common with the two 051Cs and the land-based S-300. In the future, Maintenance is no problem either.
“Okay, let’s do it as soon as possible.” Asnayev said.
An hour later.
“Attention, cruise gas turbine ignition!”
As the order was given, the two cruising gas turbines at the tail were started.
After being abandoned on the slipway for several years, it finally started its first trip in an incomplete state. Everything is very rudimentary. For example, because the circuit has not been completely laid, a cable is dragged directly from the engine room and connected to the anti-aircraft missile system at the back and the bridge in the front.
The unfinished areas are still exposed and look so rough.
“The boiler is heating up!”
When he heard this order, Qin Tao couldn't help it anymore: "Aren't you powered by gas turbines? Why do you use boilers on this?"
Although Qin Tao was an aircraft carrier designer in his previous life, and he is also dealing with warships in this life, there are still many things that are not clear to him. He has very little contact with this Glorious class, so he is very curious about this propulsion system.
"Yes, its main engine is a gas turbine, but we noticed that the gas turbine consumes too much fuel, and the exhaust gas it emits is still very hot. Therefore, in order to be able to drive this 10,000-ton cruiser, we deliberately placed In the smoke exhaust section, a set of boilers is added, so that the waste heat of the gas turbine can be used to burn the boiler and drive the steam turbine, which is a good way to save fuel."
How can you still play like this?
Qin Tao was shocked by this introduction.
After the thermal efficiency of a gas turbine reaches a certain level, it is difficult to improve it. If you want to continue to improve it, you must modify its cycle mode. What easily comes to mind is this combustion-steam combined cycle. Using the waste heat from the gas turbine to burn the boiler is a complete example of savings.
No wonder this thing also has a boiler. The boiler is not directly ignited, but is driven by the waste heat of the gas turbine.
How is it?
How do you think about this?
The advantage is fuel saving and waste utilization, but the disadvantage is that it increases the difficulty of system maintenance.
I have to say, this is very silly.
Lao Maozi's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is obviously nuclear-powered, but for fear of unreliability, he deliberately installed a few more oil-fired boilers next to the nuclear power. According to Lao Maozi's idea, if there is a problem with the nuclear power, the aircraft carrier will not be completely destroyed. Lying down, it can still move forward slowly and drive to the repair shop.
The Glory-class cruiser also uses this kind of joint power!
Qin Tao cannot comment on whether it is good or not, but in later generations, the domestically produced 055, a 10,000-ton large-scale drive, did not use complex power methods, or even directly used additional cruise gas turbines. Instead, it directly used four gas turbines. .
It is four gas turbines with the same power. When the speed is low, one or two are turned on directly. When high speed is required, all four are turned on. This solves the problem of fuel consumption. At the same time, the layout of the power cabin is also Very simple.
Even if it consumes more fuel than a small-power gas turbine, it still has to be done like this. Everything is simple and practical.
Of course, if you can get the warship in front of you, you must study it. This method of using the waste heat of the gas turbine to burn the boiler can be used in the ground power generation system even if it is not used by the navy!
While everyone was communicating, the warship's boiler was also heating up rapidly.
“It’s time to set sail and prepare to unmoor the moorings.”
Hearing the news, Qin Tao walked towards the warship: "I want to get up."
"Mr. Qin, shouldn't you stay and continue discussing the procurement with us?" Asnayev said anxiously.
“The price has been negotiated, we just need to go through the process and Mr. Zheng will be responsible for it.” Qin Tao said and walked up.
Although I have stepped on this warship before, the warship could not move at that time and was only on static display. But now, the engine of this warship has been turned on, and the entire hull of the warship is vibrating, as if it can't wait.
Since Qin Tao is here, of course he is the highest-ranking person on the ship.
“Mr. Qin, our Atlas is ready to set sail!” Igor, an old worker in the shipyard who had been responsible for the trial trials of several previous warships, said excitedly.
Atlas is the sky-high **** of the Titans in ancient Greek mythology. It is also the nickname of Project 1164. During the trial, they will call this warship Atlas.
“Okay, let’s get our warship started! It’s already several years behind schedule!”
