Chapter 1,103 Cracks in High Manganese Steel(1/2)
At the port, flags were fluttering and colorful flags were fluttering. Countless officers stood on the pier, watching the approaching warships.
This is the most advanced Aegis warship, their powerful Jubail-class warship! Their warship is finally back!
Salman was extremely excited. With this kind of air defense ship, their aircraft carrier formation would be completely perfect! Carrier-based aircraft can provide a defense range of 600 kilometers, and the Aegis warships can provide a protective circle with a radius of 100 kilometers. The aircraft carrier formation
It will be safer and much better than the useless aircraft carrier formation of the British.
The military band played music, and amid the majestic singing, the warship slowly docked at the dock.
Soldiers in neat military uniforms filed out and lined up on the pier.
"Report, the destroyer Jubail has been ordered to arrive, please give instructions!" the captain in charge of sending the ship shouted loudly.
He is not even a deputy captain in the East, he is just a first mate and has acted as captain for a few days. Now he has been temporarily transferred here to become the captain of this warship. He will stay here for a while to train dogs.
The naval officer of the wealthy family was very excited.
"Thank you!" Salman said.
"Serve the people!" The people below shouted in unison, the military was in full glory and the voice was loud.
"Let's go up and have a look." Qin Tao said.
Everyone couldn't hold back their excitement for a long time, and rushed towards the warship. The first thing they came to was the front deck of the warship. Standing here, you can clearly see the hanging hair under your feet, and you can also see the two people in front.
Side air defense radar array.
"This kind of vertical launcher can carry many kinds of missiles."
"That's right, it's still hot and cold, and it's even more advanced than the MK41!"
"By the way, can we produce our own missiles?"
"Of course. If you need it, we can discuss it next. There is no problem in exporting the missile production line to you." Qin Tao said: "If you want to become stronger, you can't rely on buying. You will definitely have to rely on yourself in the future.
For production, you have to build a strong industry, but you can't rush this kind of thing, you have to take your time and wait until the Jubail Shipyard stabilizes."
"That's right." Salman nodded: "We can't be anxious and let the Jubail Shipyard stabilize first."
The bow of the ship is a 130mm naval gun with a stealth appearance, and an anti-submarine rocket launcher is poked at the front. On the deck of this advanced destroyer, weapons from the World War II era are still retained, but no one would think that they are lagging behind. After all, not long ago, they
I used anti-submarine rocket depth bombs to teach someone who stabbed them in the back a lesson. It's exciting to think about it.
On the second deck in front of the bridge, there was a multi-barreled naval gun squatting. An officer stared at the multi-barreled naval gun for a while and then said in surprise: "This close-in defense gun seems to have more tubes?"
The warships they have are equipped with close-in defense guns from the East, but they are all 730 naval guns, and there are obviously more gun barrels in front of them.
"Yes, this is the upgraded 1130 close-in defense gun. It has more barrels and is more capable of intercepting anti-ship missiles. However, it is only a last resort means of interception and we hope it will never be used."
If this kind of close-in defense gun is used, it means that the navy's other means have failed. This is the most dangerous situation. If the interception is not successful, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Yes, we have carrier-based aircraft, long-range Hongqi 9 and medium-range Hongqi 16. Very few missiles can break through this heavy firepower network, unless it is a saturation attack by the opponent launching hundreds of missiles."
Lerman nodded: "If that time comes, then our missiles will definitely be launched more! When necessary, we can also use the big guys in the desert to fight back!"
Big dog owners also have treasures to control their houses. These powerful weapons are purchased from the East. The East is their true friend!
After watching it from the front, everyone walked through the bridge, came to the back, looked at the hanging hair at the back, and then looked at the hangar at the back, and they were very satisfied.
There was not much news about the acquisition of the 052CE destroyer by the Gouda Navy, but the news spread like wildfire and soon spread all over the world.
"The proliferation of this kind of Aegis battleship will make our navy's operations increasingly difficult." Far away in the United States, a group of people were feeling depressed.
"Yes, Dongfang not only uses it for its own use, but also exports such powerful warships. This will obviously seriously damage the regional balance! Let me see, we might as well export the Aegis warships to them, which will disgust them."
"We should sanction them and the entire Mingzhou Group. This group is the culprit!"
Swift stood in front of the window, looking at the falling snow outside, saying nothing.
Over the years, he has watched with his own eyes the power of the East becoming stronger and stronger. He has watched the world situation continue to change driven by the Mingzhou Group. There was no way to stop it from the beginning, and now, there is no way to stop this trend.
.
The U.S. Navy will slowly decline under this trend! But the Eastern Navy will become more and more powerful.
what to do?
Swift has no choice.
Sanctions are even more impossible. With Mingzhou Group's current strength, it is no longer afraid of sanctions. Even from the beginning, Mingzhou Group has been prepared for the worst.
They have never invested in the Western world. They focus on the development of Asia, Africa and Latin America. They have obtained a large amount of resources from these places and exported a large amount of weapons and equipment to these places, making the world situation more complicated. Even the dying old man
Mao Zi has become strong again with the support of Mingzhou Group!
"We have no way to deal with big dogs, but we have ways to deal with other people." At this moment, someone in the conference room made a suggestion: "The second person to order this 052CE destroyer is the colonel. We must stop the colonel.
Get this kind of warship!"
"That's right, there can't be another one. The colonel has done many bad things over the years. We should punish this guy and let others see the consequences of purchasing Eastern weapons!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Everyone joined in the discussion excitedly, as if this would make them angry.
Swift sighed, there was nothing we could do against the Mingzhou Group. Instead of thinking about how to beat the master, we could only attack his bastard. This in itself was a kind of failure!
At this moment, a person walked over gently.
"Swift, I have an idea. Tell me, if we kick Mingzhou Group out of SWIFT and sanction them in this way, will it completely stop their business?"
International trade requires capital turnover. This global capital turnover platform is the international currency settlement system. As long as they are kicked out, they will not be able to conduct international trade!
Looking at the people around him, Swift's face turned ugly: "Of course not!"
"Why?"
"Because this international monetary settlement system should not be overshadowed by politics. If we really do this, Mingzhou Group may soon launch a new system to replace it. By that time, our international position will
The influence is even smaller. Although they have never attacked our petrodollar system, they are definitely making preparations. If we do this, we are digging our own grave!"
Swift was stunned by the tricks of these people. They have been doing this from the beginning. Can the conspiracy and the like hinder that person? It will only become a stepping stone for him!
That guy can come up with a package of projects to build a weak country and strengthen the army, but there is no way to circumvent this system? To put it simply, it can be bartered, or even sent directly to bring in US dollars to collect the money. It will be no problem.
If you have this strength, then you can launder all the money in places such as Jam Market.
"Moreover, we only sanction the Mingzhou Group. It doesn't make any sense. They can register other companies at will. If we want to sanction, we have to sanction the entire East, even the entire countries that are friendly to them. Are you sure you can do this? If this continues
, is the international monetary settlement system still international? At most, it is only for us in the Western world!"
Swift is not optimistic about this plan. This is completely digging a hole for herself.
"Are we just going to do nothing?"
"If you really want to do it, it would be better to slap the colonel in the face than this." Swift said calmly.
South Kimchi Country.
"There are more and more Aegis warships in the East, not only for their own use, but also for export. We can't wait any longer. Our KDX-3 destroyers must also speed up the progress!" A naval officer stood online at Dai Heavy Industries Shipyard.
In the office, he said with a serious face: "When can you start work?"
"It will be done right away, as long as the natural gas ship is launched." Zheng Yishan said.
Now, for their shipyard, the most important project is natural gas ships. As long as such ships are delivered in large quantities, they can make a lot of money, and they can create a new era. By that time, of course, warships will also
Can start construction in large quantities.
Why can Mingzhou Group build so many warships? Isn’t it because they get a lot of funds from natural gas ships? They can do it themselves!
They moved very quickly. The first natural gas ship was launched a month ago and is currently being outfitted at the dock. All construction work is about to be completed. The second natural gas ship will also be launched soon. As long as these two ships are delivered
ship, their SCA-type natural gas ship was officially put into operation.
The officer looked serious and wanted to say something else, but there was a knock on the door outside.
Boom, boom!
"Come in!"
"It's not good, it's not good!" Cui Taegen looked panicked.
"What's wrong?"
"We conducted the first pre-cooling experiment on the liquid cargo fence system that has been built for the natural gas ship, and found a big problem!" Cui Taegen's words were trembling.
"what is the problem?"
"Cracks appeared in high manganese steel."
"Damn it, how could this happen? Didn't you say it's a mature system?"
"Yes, a small high-manganese steel liquid cargo fence system we built in the laboratory has been tested repeatedly and has not encountered any problems. However, after the expansion, this problem appeared. It may be due to high manganese
It’s due to steel’s own gravity.” The weather was cold, but Cui Taegen’s hair was already wet with sweat, and he knew very well what this meant.
Their construction progressed very quickly. After receiving the order, they built this SCA liquefied gas ship in a short time, which is enough to show how advanced Line Generation Heavy Industry is in shipbuilding technology. Their construction period is longer than that of Mingzhou Group
It's still short! After all, welding of invar steel is not easy, in comparison, high manganese steel is much simpler.
After the ship is outfitted, it needs to be inspected. Just this morning, they mobilized a liquid nitrogen truck and a liquefied natural gas truck to start pre-cooling preparations.
For natural gas ships, two operations are required. One is before the ship trial, and the shipyard provides vehicles for relevant tests. The other is to go to the liquefied gas terminal for formal filling. This time, the shipyard's pre-cooling operation is very important.
