The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

In addition to canoes and toy boats, shipbuilding has to use berths or docks in these years. The indoor dry dock in front of you is relatively large, with a length of more than 200 meters and a width of sixty to seventy meters. The height is more than 30 meters-there is more space inside because the dry dock can be dug deep down.

Indoor dry dock, the high-end cargo in the dock can be constructed without being affected by weather factors. Ships worth using it to build are all high-value cargo. Such hardships as oil tankers and bulk carriers have absolutely no chance to enter the room. In dry dock.

Looking at a huge building, it is just a gadget in Germany. At the Mayer Shipyard in Papenburg to the west, there is a world-renowned building with a length of 470 meters, a span of 125 meters and a height of 60 meters, which has just been rebuilt and put into use. A large indoor dry dock can be used to build super cruise ships of more than 10 tons, up to 180,000 tons is no problem.

It’s very interesting. The world’s first indoor dry dock created by the Germans and Finns is actually located in a small village called Papenburg in Lower Saxony, Germany, which hardly anyone in the shipbuilding industry would ever have heard of. .

What's more terrible is that Papenburg is not on the seashore, nor is it on the banks of the Elbe River, which is wide and has first-rate navigation conditions like Hamburg.

The Papenburg is at least 50 kilometers away from the nearest North Sea. After the super cruise ship is produced, it must be protected by a tugboat. The Ems River can only enter the sea after the winding channels and creeks are generally dug into the sea.

Choosing there to build the world's first dry dock in a seemingly inappropriate location is simply because that small town was a shipbuilding center more than 200 years ago.

It’s okay to build boats more than a hundred years ago. After the boats are built bigger and bigger...

The Germans still don't change places, they are so stubborn, what can you do!

Perhaps one day, don’t be surprised to tow an aircraft carrier from that giant, because another advantage of the indoor dry dock is confidentiality!

From laying the keel to completing the outfitting and leaving the dock for trial voyage, all the construction procedures of a ship can be completed in the dock. Satellites cannot be seen or photographed from a distance, and nothing can be seen when the dock door is closed.

But the stubborn choice of the Germans to build cruise ships in the inland is always disadvantageous. Every time a super cruise ship enters the sea, the scene is like a "dojo in a snail shell" that has been magnified countless times. It looks a little unbelievable.

It’s trouble for big boats to enter the small river. This underwater problem is okay-what should I do if the depth of the river is not enough?

Just dig down!

However, the passing height of the super luxury cruise ship exceeding 40 meters cannot be faked. It will cause huge troubles every time to enter the sea from the inland!

Apart from other things, the bridge on the river has to accommodate the existence of the dock, build it high enough, or be of the kind that can be opened, which will increase the cost of social infrastructure.

There are also problems with overhead high-voltage wires, which must be prepared in advance. When the huge ship passes, the wires must have enough headroom, otherwise they are prone to problems...

I really don't know what the Germans think. It makes sense to change to the location of the dock. Once the dock door is opened after the water is injected, the big ship can sail directly into the wide and deep channel of the Elbe River.

The Germans are famous for their old-fashioned and rigorous world. In addition, the construction of the indoor dry dock here is not affected by the weather, and the construction speed is fast and easy to keep secret. In the end, Zhang Nan chose to build his super private yacht here instead of the same for the construction of super cruise ships. , France, Italy or Finland with rich yachting experience.

Now the owner of the shipyard, project manager, chief engineer and others are all waiting and warmly welcome the arrival of the big gold master.

The Germans didn't talk much nonsense, and soon walked into the huge dock together, and a huge, streamlined super jumbo yacht appeared in front of everyone!

It's really big, but it's still a yacht, not a cruise ship, but it will rank first in the world.

"I like it!"

After seeing the streamlined big guy in the dock, Charlize Theron beside him couldn't help but say something-the milky white base color above the waterline is so beautiful!

Zhang Nan smiled and said, "It should be more beautiful from a distance. It will be too close to see clearly."

Talking about it and smiled again, making the others a little baffling!

Zhang Nan didn't take it seriously, he just thought of a section deep in his mind that he couldn't remember the funny part of the film-two people were too close, and one said: "Too close, I can't see clearly."

The boat is too big, it’s really hard to see the whole picture too close. However, the Germans have a way, saying that as long as you climb up the stairs from the dock to the channel close to the top, you can see the whole ship in the oblique part of the dock.

Zhang Nan is not interested in this kind of climbing, he doesn't move, and Charlize Theron is naturally not interested in climbing so high to see the wonder, anyway, it won't take long before he can enjoy it on this boat.

The name of the ship has been set, the yacht standing on the Mediterranean island of Safiladura gave up the name of the ship, this big guy was designated "Star", and the superyacht "Sunshine Star" anchored on Long Island The name of the ship remains unchanged.

The total drainage tonnage is 13,500 tons, the length is nearly 170 meters, and the widest point is 21.5 meters. The hull is made of high-strength steel, and the superstructure is made of special hard aluminum.

It's not a battleship. It's okay to use aluminum for the superstructure.

The small platform on the top of the yacht is not counted. The whole ship is divided into 8 decks. Of course, the bottom is the oil tank and the power cabin. The mooring cabin of a tourist submarine that can accommodate up to 12 people is on the second floor.

Above the third floor is the living and entertainment area. The largest master suite is located on the fifth floor of the yacht, with an area of ​​450 square meters and an exclusive veranda with invincible sea views.

The ceiling of the master cabin can still be opened and retracted automatically, so Zhang Nan can watch the stars in bed at night.

Originally, the master suite could be placed on the sixth deck, but Nicole and Jenny both thought that the suite was better, and if it was too tall, Zhang Nan would find it awkward to look down, so it was set on the fifth floor with more space.

Compared with the original design drawing, the power system has been greatly modified, and the diesel-fuel combined power system is finally used.

Unlike the diesel-fuel combined power of ordinary warships, the diesel engine is used as the cruising power. This star is the reverse. The diesel engine will only be used when entering and leaving ports and passing through specific narrow waterways for long and low speed navigation, while normal cruises will be used. Gas turbines that consume much more fuel.

The ship is large, with fewer people, and much less equipment than a warship, with a sufficiently large oil tank.

Besides, the owner of the ship is a big business, he has a multinational superstar oil consortium, and he doesn't care if his ship burns more oil.

The horsepower is large. According to calculations and speculations by a group of engineers, the maximum speed of the Star may reach 32.5 knots during the trial. The maximum speed of 30 knots under full load is absolutely no problem, and the maximum cruising speed can reach 28 knots or more.

What to do if you want to save fuel?

Run 28 knots, that's more economical.

The voyage is not short, at least starting from Hamburg’s outer port, it’s okay to make a trip to New York at the highest cruising speed. Don’t worry about running out of gas.

The conventional security system on the ship is currently the most advanced, and the design also takes into account the issue of future security system upgrades, and it does not require minor modifications in the future.

Armored plates and bullet-proof glass are installed around the cockpit and the master suite. The yacht even has a missile defense system—radar plus infrared and aluminum foil decoys. There is no other way than using wire-guided anti-tank missiles. Radar and infrared guided anti-ship missiles can all deal with it.

Of course, the radar and control system have been installed, but the decoy launch system will be installed in the newly built port there after the yacht’s first official sailing to Gambia.

It's very convenient, the space is reserved, and it doesn't take up much space and weight.

The Star is also equipped with a number of small speedboats and supply boats, and that custom-made sightseeing submarine can also be used as a tool for secretly entering and exiting the yacht.

There are also two helipads on the ship, one at the bow, capable of taking off and landing a medium-sized Black Hawk helicopter.

The other is in the second half of the eighth deck, which can be used to take off and land ordinary light helicopters, such as Bell 206 four-seater and five-seater helicopters.

For the defense and security facilities, there is a space reserved on the third deck. The shipyard only knows that it is used as a storage room. The bulkheads on both sides can open openings: not surprising, there are several openable openings on both sides of the Star. For example, the opening of the storage compartment of the boat is much larger than this.

This time Zhang Nan looked at his boat, looking down from the bottom, as soon as he got on the boat, he looked at the engine compartment that reached the level of unmanned operation, and then looked up layer by layer.

When arriving on the third floor, Zhang Nan noticed the reserved space here, or went to take a look: here will be an additional set of big killers in Gambia!

Like most superyachts in the world, the Star is equipped with sonar, but its sonar system has reached the military level, and it is still Russian.

It is not too much in pursuit of powerful functions and effective distance, so the volume and weight are not particularly large.

The shipyard originally recommended the local goods commonly used by German ships, but the shipowner requested it, the east and west funders provided it, and even sent Russian engineers to cooperate.

The Germans are stereotyped, and West Germans don't like Russians, but there is such an expansion clause in the contract. In addition, the shipowner pays generously.

This line is like this. It is the master who spends the money. You can change whatever you want, and the shipyard will do it.

German products are necessary, and the unit must mention slightly larger Russian products, that is for compatibility!

When Zhang Nan was at sea, the most worried thing was other people's submarines. That thing was a silent killer. Since sonar is the standard equipment of super yachts, it should be equipped with the most advanced military goods.

Everyone has sonar, but the one that can stuff anti-submarine and anti-ship dual-purpose torpedoes in superyachts is probably the Star!

Yes, the sonar is installed to match the torpedo system!

The APR-2E torpedo, one of the last wealth in the development of Soviet light torpedoes, has a diameter of 350 mm, a length of 3.7 meters, and a weight of 575 kg.

The warhead weighs 100 kilograms, and it is filled with high explosives that are far more powerful than TN-T, which should be Oktokin.

The power system of this torpedo is very interesting. It uses a rocket engine and has a short range of 3.7 kilometers; the speed is fast, reaching 62 knots!

The APR-2E torpedo guidance system is considered the most advanced stage in the Soviet torpedo system. It is suitable for use as an air-dropped torpedo and can attack high-speed submarines with a maximum depth of 600 meters-ship-borne anti-submarine torpedoes generally require a long range, while airplanes and helicopters The high mobility makes up for this shortcoming.

Last year, Russia took it out. The APR-2E torpedo made its first appearance at the Paris Air Show in France, which caused quite a stir.

Russian propaganda says it is an aviation anti-submarine torpedo, specially equipped with anti-submarine aircraft and helicopters, capable of attacking modern high-speed submarines.

However, the outside world does not know that the APR-2E torpedo has a shipboard model, but it is a trial version. At the beginning, it was planned to be provided to some camouflage anti-submarine fishing vessels in the future.

Several sets of internally finalized control systems plus a dozen sets of detachable triple launchers were produced, plus dozens of anti-submarine and anti-ship dual-use torpedoes with a tail propellant pack device.

Ordinary warships using this torpedo to participate in naval battles is almost tantamount to suicide. The effective range of 3.7 kilometers is not worth mentioning, but if the camouflage fishing boat is blocked by NATO warships, it can be used to kill the opponent!

It is a pity that the advanced APR-2E torpedo was born at an untimely time, especially the naval version. The Soviet Union just passed the test and had not been mass-produced.

Stop cooking!

There is no need to camouflage the fishing boat to go anti-submarine. This ship-type APR-2E torpedo system, even with a bunch of spare torpedoes, was first dismantled and piled into the warehouse.

The warehouse is in Ukraine. Russia and Ukraine are robbing homes, and finally it belongs to the Red Devil and the disguised purchasers dispatched by the United Forces-naval equipment in warehouses one after another ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ connected to these torpedoes and so on. Take it down and move away.

The most difficult thing to sell for ammunition these years is the property of the Red Navy, because there are too many, and a bunch of traditional buyers who will only kill on land, can’t even use naval equipment. Tall goods.

Like a buyer in the Middle East and Africa, is it useful for you to give him a submarine?

Useless, not as good as a truck of AK or RPG.

For those officers who dare to sell, it’s good if someone buys it. Sell it, it’s better than to force Russia (Ukraine)!

It has to be sold quickly. If the battle for the Red Navy’s property is settled, and the upper hand sells it to other countries in a regular manner, it doesn’t matter what these officers are doing.

The result is that Zhang Nan, an arms dealer of various torpedoes, has a large number of them, and they are also maintained by professional technicians: most of them have not been shipped out of Ukraine at all, but the warehouse has changed owners.

Where else to put it?

The best storage conditions are the warehouses built by the Soviets, especially those underground arsenals with constant temperature and humidity. The military bases were downsized and cancelled. Once the article was completed, those warehouses were removed from the military roster.

If you don’t need things temporarily, you can store two of the three warehouses together, just use this method to pile them in Ukraine, which saves freight and the trouble of finding a new warehouse.

Anti-submarine torpedo equipment will be installed in the future, let alone with or without torpedoes. Of course, decoy bombs against torpedoes are indispensable. This ship will have it, but the control system will be installed first, and the launcher will be installed in Gambia.

Forget about anti-ship missiles or something, this is a yacht, not a cruiser.

As for air-to-air missiles... just install a few portable ones if needed, enough to deal with general troubles.
