Golden Fishing Village

Even if he only had the right to use it, Ao Muyang was very happy. This was simply a pie in the sky.

Seeing him so happy, Du Yulong smiled and said, "As long as you are satisfied, our leader has guessed that you would not be interested."

Ao Muyang said excitedly, "This is a warship, how could I not be interested?"

Du Yulong continued to laugh, and his smile was very malicious: "Oh, I probably know that you have a violent worship personality. What you like is the powerful weapon of warships, not the performance of a ship."

"What do you mean?" Ao Muyang didn't understand this sentence.

Du Yulong said, "You don't think that a fishing boat converted from a warship is really more suitable for civilian use than a fishing boat? Apart from anything else, do you know how much the annual maintenance cost of this ship is? Also, do you know how much power this ship has and how much fuel it consumes?"

As soon as these questions were raised, Ao Muyang's passion gradually calmed down.

The reason why warships are called the most expensive weapons is not a boastful title, but a title given by countries after spending real money!

Du Yulong continued to explain to him: "You have to understand that although this ship has been converted into a trawler, it uses military steel, which is very different from civilian steel."

"You may not know that warships are subject to artillery shells and torpedo attacks during combat, so the steel used must consider factors such as strength, crack sensitivity, and other factors such as toughness, hardness, cold bending performance and plasticity. In order to enhance these aspects, the corrosion resistance, light weight, and maintainability of steel are sacrificed."

Listening to his words, Ao Muyang's heart began to chill, and he said dryly: "I was talking drunkenly at the time."

Du Yulong said: "Even if you are given a warship, can you afford it?"

Ao Muyang shook his head, and Du Yulong stretched out three fingers.

"That, thirty, thirty million?" He asked tentatively.

Du Yulong laughed happily: "Add another zero."

Ao Muyang's eyes were straight: "300 million? One year's maintenance cost?"

Du Yulong said: "Don't think I'm fooling you. The cost of this ship is less than 4 billion yuan, and the purchase cost of a destroyer accounts for about 30% of the full life cost, which means that its maintenance and use fee is about 13 billion. Let's assume that this ship can be used for 40 years, 40 years, not short, right? Then the average annual cost is more than 300 million yuan! This is still 052D, what if it is replaced with 055? Hehe!"

After listening to him, Ao Muyang's heart almost stopped beating: "Brother, then I don't want this ship, okay?"

"Don't want it?" Du Yulong sneered,

Old Ao didn't know, but he probably knew it. Anyway, this ship is a generous gift, and he has to know it in his heart.

He patted Ao Muyang on the shoulder and said, "Comrade Xiao Ao, don't be pessimistic either."

Ao Muyang nodded. The Dianmu that left last month was a very rare winter typhoon. As we all know, typhoons are prone to occur in summer and autumn, and are rare in winter, so he must have been impressed.

He asked, "Isn't this ship afraid of that typhoon?"

Du Yulong said, "Dream on,"

Ao Muyang was stunned: "Then what do you mean by mentioning this typhoon just now?"

Du Yulong said, "I just suddenly remembered this typhoon and mentioned it casually. I don't mean anything else. Alas, winter typhoons are really rare. But this ship's ability to resist wind and waves is definitely much stronger than that of civilian fishing boats, and its speed is much faster, no, it is much faster!"

"How fast can this ship reach?" Ao Muyang asked.

Du Yulong said: "The speed of a multi-purpose patrol ship is generally around 25 knots. This ship has been refitted to reduce weight and is faster, reaching 30 knots."

His words greatly comforted Ao Muyang's cold heart. The speed of an ordinary fishing boat is only 9 to 12 knots. In comparison, the speed of this ship is almost like flying.

Du Yulong said again: "In fact, according to our leader's intention, we wanted to give your fishing village a retired warship for sightseeing. Your village is developing tourism..."

Ao Muyang nodded frantically: "This is a good idea, this is a good idea."

Du Yulong smiled and said: "It's a pity that there is no suitable warship. It happens that such a multi-purpose patrol ship will be retired in the middle of this year, and then we will strive for it."

Ao Muyang understood what he meant and said: "Colonel Du, I am grateful to our navy!"

Du Yulong patted him on the shoulder affectionately and said: "No need, no need, this is what you deserve. You risked your life at the beginning You have completed a desperate mission for our navy, and you have also obtained what is currently the most advanced underwater information collector in the world. You are a great contributor to the navy, and it is not too much to award you a gold medal as big as a pot lid. "

Ao Muyang smiled bitterly and said, "It's all due. Captain Du, I am just concerned about how much fuel this ship can burn?"

Du Yulong touched his nose and said, "You can explore it yourself. Its fuel consumption capacity varies with different speeds and different sea conditions, but I can tell you a hard indicator. To fill its fuel tank, you have to add 150 tons of fuel!"

Ao Muyang couldn't help crying when he heard this.

A ton of diesel costs more than 7,000 yuan, and filling up this ship once costs more than 1 million yuan!

Is this a fishing boat? This is a fuel tiger - no, this is an oil whale, or a blue whale!

He estimated that after the ship arrived, it would have to be parked at the dock for exhibition. Even with his financial resources, it would be difficult to maintain the operation of the ship.

Seeing his painful face, Du Yulong was happy. He patted Ao Muyang on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Xiao Ao, this ship is not fueled with diesel, but heavy oil."

This greatly relieved Ao Muyang's distress. Heavy oil is much cheaper than diesel.

From the source, heavy oil is extracted from crude oil and refined like diesel, but heavy oil is the residual material after gasoline and diesel are refined. Compared with diesel, they can have higher combustion calorific value and temperature as long as they are specially treated.

In other words, under the same circumstances, heavy oil has stronger power than diesel, so the engines of warships all burn heavy oil instead of diesel.

Diesel costs more than 7,000 yuan per ton, and heavy oil is less than half of it.
