Warship of Great Power

The J-31A was slowly approaching the target, getting closer and closer. The target had been firmly locked in the aiming ring. At this moment, Valenchenko held his breath and pressed the red button on the joystick.

Boom boom boom!

Above the left air intake, flames were pulsating, and 30mm cannon shells flew out one after another!

Whether a cannon is needed is one question. When this question is determined, what cannon to use will be the second question.

The fighter planes produced in the East used 23mm caliber twin-barreled cannons before. This cannon is very compact and weighs only 50 kilograms. In comparison, the cannons of the American F-22 fighters weigh more than 100 kilograms.

In terms of weight, this cannon is very good, but the initial velocity of the shell is too low, which brings about the problem of trajectory bending, which is not convenient for aiming. After hitting the target, it will not have much power because of the low speed.

Therefore, when the Su-27 fighter was introduced from the Russians and domestically produced into the J-11, China also had a new machine gun option: the GSH-301 machine gun!

This machine gun has a caliber of 30 mm, is powerful enough, has a high rate of fire, and a straight trajectory. Although it only has one tube, its rate of fire reaches 1,800 rounds per minute. Moreover, with so many excellent indicators, its own weight is only 46 kilograms.

Therefore, this machine gun has also been nicknamed the ballerina because its weight is about the same as that of a ballerina.

Of course, there are still many problems waiting to be installed on a stealth aircraft, and it also has to make adaptive improvements.

The biggest change is the use of a closed fairing design. It is hidden in the cover at ordinary times. When needed, the front of the fairing rotates, the muzzle is exposed, and the hatch behind it automatically opens to facilitate the ejection of shells and the discharge of tail flames.

Moreover, the stealth design must be taken into account. The stealth coating cannot be damaged due to firing, and the skin cannot be burned or shaken.

There is a lot of knowledge in the use of a small machine gun. At this time, the machine gun roared, the shells flew, and the Global Hawk UAV in front instantly caught fire and fell down.

Valenchenko pulled the joystick to avoid the risk of colliding with the prey in front, looked at the falling Global Hawk with satisfaction, and then approached the second one from the back, boom boom boom!

The machine gun does not have a high ammunition capacity. The GSH-301 machine gun only has 150 rounds of spare ammunition, but Valenchenko is very skilled in operation. A burst of fire is more than a dozen rounds. After killing all the targets, there are still nearly a hundred rounds left. He looked at his record with satisfaction and turned back.

There was not much fuel left, and there was no aerial refueling aircraft. He could not delay any longer. Although he was not afraid of death when shouting slogans, it was better to go back alive to enjoy a good life. Moreover, with the results of the battle, the boss could not deduct his salary after returning.

Moreover, machine gun attacks have another advantage. Even if someone wants to cause trouble in the future, they can't take advantage of it. If there are wreckages of missiles, it will reveal who attacked, but these machine gun shells are everywhere. Who can tell who did it?

Valenchenko set off on the return journey with satisfaction, and the fleet has become lively.

"Suspicious noises are found underwater!"

"Throw anti-submarine depth bombs!"

The old Russians have always dared to be ruthless when doing things. If you don't come up, I will bomb you!

The ancestral skills cannot be lost. The Eastern Navy ships have always been equipped with anti-submarine rocket depth bombs. When needed, they can be launched with a whoosh. The two rows of arc-shaped tubes on the bow are powerful anti-submarine weapons.

When it came to 052C, the bow could not be arranged, but the designers did not forget this weapon. On both sides of the close defense system on the top of the stern hangar, a new launch device was installed.

Two on each side, four in total, each with three rows, eight 122mm caliber tubes in each row. This tube can not only launch anti-submarine rocket depth bombs, but also infrared or chaff decoy bombs. One tube has multiple uses and is very practical.

Whoosh, whoosh!

The flames rose, and one anti-submarine depth bomb after another flew towards the sea where the suspicious noise was located. Soon, explosions came one after another.

Although the anti-submarine depth bomb is old, it is very effective. After all, when this thing explodes near the target, the shock wave generated will push the sea water and hit the submarine shell. Even if it can't be smashed, the sound it makes is scary enough.

"Humph, even if they can't be killed, they have to be scared to pee their pants." Vitalia said.

If you want to lead mercenaries, you must be ruthless and never show mercy to any enemy! Even the most powerful enemy in the world!

"Report, there is a sound of drainage from underwater!"

"Haha, they are scared!" Vitalia smiled: "Let Zhi 30 supervise it to leave."

"Humph, during the Cold War, we often played hide-and-seek with them underwater, playing Crazy Ivan's moves. After the Cold War, we didn't move much in the ocean. I thought they were all underwater, but I didn't expect that they have become cowards!"

Soon, a big wet guy floated up in panic, and then left in disgrace on the surface under the supervision of Zhi 30.

East, Mingzhou Group.

"Boss Qin, they really pulled out a big guy from underwater. Vitalia is very happy and thanks you." Xu Zhengyang said.

"Well, if they are not found out, then they will be in big trouble. However, this incident also exposed their lack of underwater power. Next..."

Qin Tao was originally thinking about whether to build two more nuclear-powered submarines for Vitalia and the others, but after thinking about it, he decided that it was not necessary. With Vitalia's ability, he could probably rent them from Damao. to nuclear submarines.

Nuclear power submarines are still a variant of conventional diesel-electric submarines. Their speed is too low to catch up with the aircraft carrier formation, so they must be real nuclear submarines.

You don’t have to worry about this matter yourself, let’s see what Vitalia thinks about it.

"Mr. Qin, at Tianchuan Heavy Industry, we found a traitor. It was Xia Yu, the secretary of the former general manager. She had an unclear relationship with the former general manager. The former manager could agree to those conditions, and Xia Yu also got involved. Very useful.”

Qin Tao frowned: "Humph, traitors are always the most hateful, this Xia Yu..."

Xu Zhengyang looked at Qin Tao. As long as Qin Tao said he couldn't stay, someone would naturally take action. However, Qin Tao thought again: "Since Haiyang is so confident, let's leave it to him and see if he can catch the mole first." If the inner ghost is not eliminated, the Tianchuan Heavy Industry will become unstable. "

"Well, I will also send more manpower to keep an eye on the safety of the ocean. He can't have any accidents."

Skyliner Heavy Industries.

Boom, boom, boom!

"Come in!"

Qin Haiyang is young and mature, sitting behind a large desk, and he really has the air of a chairman. He raised his head and looked at the person walking in at the door.

He is in his twenties, looks young, as if he has not yet left the university campus, has short ear-length hair, and looks very capable. This person is Xia Yu, the former secretary to the general manager.

"Director Qin, at the company meeting, you put forward the conditions. Whoever can sell these eight drilling platforms can become the general manager, right?"

"Yes, Secretary Xia, do you have any ideas?"

"Yes, Director Qin, I have a bold idea." Xia Yu's eyes radiated with a seductive look, and she slowly walked towards Qin Haiyang: "Director Qin, I..."

"Don't get so close," Qin Haiyang said, "Just stand there and say it."

"Well, I mean, these offshore drilling platforms are customized for Norwegian customers and are specially designed to develop oil in the Norwegian North Sea. If we sell them to other customers, it will definitely not work. How about we..."

Xia Yu's red lips were so pretty, but Qin Haiyang didn't look at her at all. He had already lowered his head to read the documents: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. There is no need to hesitate. Is this how you used to be a secretary before?"

Xia Yu blushed and quickly got down to business: "I think the only feasible way at the moment is for us to take over these drilling platforms ourselves, and then operate them and develop them in the North Sea."

Qin Haiyang raised his head and looked at the other party: "We are a shipyard, not an oil explorer. Is it our turn to exploit the oil in the North Sea? Besides, our company has no money."

"The Norwegian Equinor Company is currently auctioning the oil exploration rights in a sea area. As long as we bid for it, we can mine it." Xia Yu said: "As for the funding issue, Director Qin, we can continue to borrow money from the bank. As long as you step in, You can definitely borrow it..."

"No, I'm not interested in this plan." Qin Haiyang said: "Our policy is still to find a way to sell the oil drilling platform, return the funds, and then continue to build ships. We cannot directly intervene in an industry that we are not familiar with."

Watching Xia Yu leave, Qin Haiyang lowered his head and continued reading the documents.

This document is a list of the entire company's personnel. At this time, Qin Haiyang hesitated for a moment, and then drew a circle on Xia Yu's name. There is something wrong with this person!

Xia Yu left Qin Haiyang's office and before she returned to her post, her phone rang. She looked around, then found a place where no one was paying attention and put the phone to her ear.

"Hello."

"How did things go?"

"This new Director Qin doesn't agree with this plan at all. I think we need to wait for a while and wait until others fail to sell it before trying again. Director Qin should be able to accept it."

"Okay, you have to pay attention to your identity and try to stay as low as possible. As long as you can drag the Mingzhou Group into the water this time, we will have a series of follow-up moves. You have made great contributions to us, and you will be able to get our Norwegian citizenship in the future. We will live in Norway from now on.”

"Yes, I will try my best."

Mingzhou Group.

"Their methods are not very clever. When they found out that your son was involved, they wanted to use your son to drag our Mingzhou Group into the water."

Xu Zhengyang introduced.

"That Xia Yu came to Haiyang today and said that the best way is to go to Norway to bid for a piece of sea area and then exploit the oil resources in it. If these drilling platforms cannot be sold, then they can be used for their own use. However, Tianshi Shipbuilding Industry has long been insolvent. , we can’t borrow money at all, so we, the Mingzhou Group, have to get involved.”

"Even if they cheat us this way, they won't make too much money." Qin Tao said, "They should be followed by damaging moves, but it won't be of much use."

How to cheat? For example, if these drilling platforms cause pollution and then demand a high price for compensation, this is not a big deal for Mingzhou Group.

"Yes, these are one of them, but after our analysis, we believe that the biggest possibility is Haiyang. If he wants to bid, Haiyang may go there in person. As long as he lands, he may..."

"Hmph, since they have decided to do something evil, let's just let them do it!"

"Um."

The North Sea of ​​Norway has a large amount of oil and natural gas resources. In resource-scarce Europe, Norway can rely on these oil resources to live a happy life.

The exploration of these oil and natural gas resources is mainly handled by Equinor, which was formerly known as Statoil and was later privatized.

As for the extraction, it is mainly responsible for Seadrill. This company owns a large number of oil drilling platforms and continuously exploits seabed oil. However, they are not comfortable with extracting oil and want to make some small moves, such as this time.

Headquarters of seadrill, Stavanger, Norway.

"Our original goal was to kill the Mingzhou Group, and at least get a piece of meat from them. We originally thought we had no chance, but we didn't expect that Mr. Qin's son would actually join the game. This is really a blessing from God, giving us a chance. Create a trap for them!"

"Yes, those drilling platforms are only suitable for our sea areas. They can't find a second buyer at all. Therefore, in the end, they can only accept the reality and drive the drilling platforms here to mine. When bidding for oil fields, we will Find a few oil companies to participate in the bidding and raise the price. By the way, Soltero, have you found them? "

"Yes, boss." Sortelo smiled and looked at Orjan: "We are the world's largest drilling platform operator. We not only have business in the country, we also have many customers, Total, Mobil... …They will come to bid when the time comes, and they will definitely do the same thing as the real thing, and they will at least raise the bidding price for the oil field to 10 billion US dollars!”

"Is it too much? Can Mingzhou Group pay for it?"

"Of course, Mr. Qin loves his son very much. He has not yet gone to college and is going to start a business. He will definitely be willing to pay for it."

"Well, when they pay the full price and come to the oil field area, not only will they not be able to extract oil, they will also be fined by us, at least US$20 billion!"

Boom! At this moment, the door was pushed open from the outside.

"John, you look so panicked, what happened?"

"It's not good, it's not good!"

"What's wrong?"

"Our Gullfaks C Platform collided with the tanker Strinda!"

At this time, everyone was shocked: "How is it possible? Is the situation serious?"

"The situation is not optimistic..."

The Gullfaks C Platform oil drilling platform was installed in 1995. It is the largest oil drilling platform in Norway, with a height of 381 meters and can produce 180,000 barrels of crude oil per day.

With so much crude oil, it is impossible to store all of it on the oil platform, so tankers dock almost every day to take out the crude oil.

This oil drilling platform is located near the coastline. Why not directly connect the oil pipeline to the land?

This is of course because Norway itself cannot use so much oil. Even if it is transported to land, it must continue to be shipped and transported. In this case, it is better to park the crude oil directly on the oil platform.

Almost all oil platforms around the world operate in this way, and there is usually no big problem. However, the climate in the North Sea is very complex and changeable!

This is why the oil platform built for Norway cannot be used in other places. The impact of severe weather must be taken into consideration and it is a heavy-duty one. This oil platform weighs half a million tons to withstand the extremely harsh conditions in the North Sea. weather.

It’s not that it can’t be used in other places, but the cost is too high and wasteful, so no oil company is willing to use it. After decades of use, the money saved on the purchase was offset by the increased consumption in subsequent use.

This morning, the fog over the North Sea is very thick.

The oil tanker Strinda approached the oil platform slowly as before. The bearded captain looked at the signal on the GPS receiver with bright eyes and issued instructions one by one.

"Attention, the distance is three kilometers, prepare to slow down now..."

The visibility at sea is less than two hundred meters, but they are not afraid because they have an advanced satellite navigation system. The coordinates of each oil platform are clear and accurate to the meter level!

The satellite navigation system can work normally with the navigation radar, but I don't know why. Ten minutes ago, the navigation radar broke down, but it doesn't matter. The bearded captain is full of confidence after being active in this sea area all year round.

"Hey, what's that in front?" At this moment, the first mate looked at an iron frame that suddenly appeared in the thick fog with surprise. The next moment, the bearded captain exclaimed: "Quick, full left rudder! "

The satellite navigation clearly showed that there was still three kilometers away, but the oil drilling platform suddenly appeared two hundred meters away!

You know, a supertanker is often two to three hundred meters long, and the bridge is usually located at the very rear. Therefore, just as the bearded captain shouted, the tanker Strinda suddenly shook violently and had already hit it. !

Although the oil tanker was originally not very fast, it was still too big. Therefore, when it hit the Gullfaks C Platform oil drilling platform, it immediately broke the huge pillar on the opposite side! Then, black oil leaked from the pipeline and spread around, and the most terrible accident happened!

"Although the impact was very violent, fortunately there was no burning." John said.

This is a blessing in disguise!

Although gasoline and kerosene are easy to burn among the fuels extracted from petroleum, petroleum is not easy to ignite. It is a viscous liquid that is not easy to flow. It floats on the sea and spreads everywhere.

"Organize rescue immediately and try to resume operations as soon as possible!" Oryang said.

This is really bad news!

However, they don't know that this is just the beginning!

"Yes." John ran out, and a few minutes later, he ran in again in a panic.

"What happened again?"

"Our Troll A Platform natural gas platform exploded!"
