Chapter 543 Ideal Expedition Boat to Ying Country (4K 2-in-1)
Two Bugatti Chirons sailed into the port of Bremerhaven, where the U-boat assembly plant in Bremen was extremely busy decades ago, with U-boats launching like dumplings.
Decades later, Bremerhaven is still busy, but there is no "assassination ghost" at the bottom of the Atlantic, and when Xia Yu's icebreaking expedition boat is completed, you can explore the two poles and find these sleeping ghosts.
"Is that the one?"
As soon as Ji Yang got out of the car, he pointed to the 10,000-ton giant ship docked at the port and said.
"Yes, that's it, it's fast!"
The Polestar was not anchored in Bremerhaven originally, and Lürssen only brought it in two days ago, and so far Xia Yu has only paid a deposit, and the ship is not nominally his.
"This ship is so magnificent, the superstructure is so high, and there are so many cranes, if you change it into an expedition boat, a small speedboat, a small submarine or anything can be added to it. ”
Ji Yang is also a knowledgeable person, in fact, as long as you are worthy, there will naturally be people who come to sell expensive goods such as airplanes and yachts, that is, his family only bought airplanes, and his father is not very interested in yachts.
"I'm wondering if I can add an anti-frogman or anti-missile system to the ship, so that I can protect myself in case I encounter pirates. ”
"You really dare to think that with this, I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the port, so you can only stay on the high seas. ”
In this regard, Ji Yang is young, will Xia Yu need to enter the port?
He has his own port, and he doesn't have to stop at any country's port, and if he supplies it, he will directly supply it on the high seas, and it's a big deal that he will buy another supply ship.
In fact, Xia Yu was able to place an order this time, because Leshun only looked like a superyacht manufacturer, and he didn't know that people also built special ships such as military ships, fast patrol ships, corvettes, and support ships.
Just as Airbus can build fighter jets and Mercedes-Benz can build tanks, whether the military or the civilian or the army depends on the needs of the times and the country.
"No, Lao Xia, you're going to form a private fleet!"
Listening to Xia Yu's thoughts, Ji Yang reacted.
"You can pull it down, you don't even have an aircraft carrier, this is the Rausch fleet. ”
This scolding has scolded more than half of the countries in the world, not everyone can build and raise aircraft carriers, but the larger countries have navies, and Mongolia is no exception.
"Don't brag, are those people Leshun?"
Ji Yang saw several Chinese people walking towards them.
"Hello, Mr. Sherlock, I'm Frederick, owner of Lürssen, and welcome to Bremen. ”
Frederick didn't recognize the wrong person, he stretched out his hand to Xia Yu.
"Hello, Monsieur Frederick, Bremen is very beautiful, and I will enjoy my stay here for a few days. ”
After a few pleasantries, the two sides came to the Ommud shipyard next door to the port, Leshun has a total of four shipbuilding bases, and the one at the headquarters in Bremen is the largest.
Here Xia Yu saw a 219-meter-long floating dock located on the sea, and a brand-new superyacht docked in the dock.
"It's called FlyingFox, and it's having completed its final sea trials and will be delivered to Mr. Bezos in two days. ”
Frederick explained to the two that the Flying Fox is 136 meters long and even has two tarmacs.
Rich people just enjoy it, and Bezos paid more than $400 million for the yacht, which is only a fraction of his entire worth.
The richest man in the world, this magnesium country Jackma turned Bill Gates over, and it was really sprinkled with water to get such a superyacht, but I didn't expect it to be so coincidental.
"Mr. Frederick, what do you mean..."
"Yes, the work at the Olmud shipyard for the next year will be the renovation of the Pole Star, which will be a challenge for us. ”
Buying a yacht is also a queue, Xia Yu is lucky that the project is more special, and after discussing it internally, Lürssen put the transformation of the Pole Star as the highest priority.
"I believe in Lürssen, you are the best yacht builder in the world. ”
Who doesn't like to listen to beautiful words, Chinese people are no exception, the two sides signed the purchase contract of the Polestar with a smile, and Xia Yu also brushed off 80 million at once.
After all, it is a big project to change an old icebreaker into a modern icebreaker expedition boat, and the engineers and designers who took over the project are also thinking about it!
"All the lifting equipment in the bow was removed, and only one was kept in the stern, and then a helipad was added to the bow, and the space under the wheelhouse was quite large, which could be converted into a hangar. ”
Early the next morning, in the project design room of the Leshun headquarters, Xia Yu was pointing to the drawings of the Polestar and talking about his requirements, and the staff on the other side listened and made notes, and they had to evaluate the feasibility of these requirements later.
If it is feasible, then evaluate the budget again, make several versions of different plans, and Xia Yu will select the most satisfactory one and then adjust it.
Thanks to this, this is just a remodel, and building a new one is more troublesome than this, because those who can afford superyachts want their own one to be different and unique.
Xia Yu is not unique in converting an icebreaker into a yacht, not long ago, the Icon shipyard in Kelan completed the renovation of an icebreaker called Ragnar.
How to say it, this ship is a little smaller, only 68 meters long, and the contractor and materials are 100 million US dollars, and the exchange rate and Xia Yu won the Pole Star is a price.
If it weren't for the fact that the Pole Star was being retired, this ship would have been a good choice, as it would have looked like a large slipper to some.
Don't say it, the more you look at it, the more it looks, Xia Yu has been led astray.
In addition, the ship is also rented out for 525,000 euros per week, which can be paid back in almost 3 years, and of course depreciation must be included.
Xia Yu is not short of this money, and when the Polestar is renovated, he will definitely not rent it, and if he doesn't use it, he will park at the port of Canai Island, and he won't have to pay a berth fee.
"By the way, can I add a defense system?"
After resting for a while, when he continued to communicate, Xia Yu said amazingly.
He didn't brag with Ji Yang before, Shenhao always puts safety first, and his own ability to open does not mean that the people around him can too, the defense system must be on.
Chelsea owner's Eclipse has a full range of missile defences, which can be used in conjunction with other armaments to defend against any pirate attack.
"The defense system Lelssen can provide, but we can only guarantee that the ports in the country are legal. ”
"It's okay, except for overhaul and maintenance, this ship will dock on my private island, and you don't have to worry about getting into international disputes. ”
With Xia Yu's guarantee, they can rest assured, after all, it is very troublesome to have an accident in the world.
"By the way, how much do you sell for an Elbe-class support ship?"
The heart that I just put down instantly brought up again, are the rich people of the Chinese people so arrogant, after buying a yacht and a warship.
The Elbe class is a small support ship built in the nineties of the last century, a total of 6 were built, also known as Type 404.
Xia Yu saw that this model was quite fateful, so he consulted the manufacturer, and there was definitely no intention to buy, after all, the active weapons and equipment are very sensitive, and if you want to buy them, you can only buy retired ones.
We don't know much about that, but you can refer to the order for the K130 Braunschweig class two years ago. ”
The representative of Leshun said in a more subtle tone that these are all non-confidential information, and they can be found directly on the Internet.
Xia Yu checked, good guy, 5 ships packed for 2.4 billion euros!
slipped away, he still honestly picked up garbage in second-hand goods, the poorest gods are not worthy of using original and genuine products.
After a day of opinion exchange meeting, Xia Yu dragged his tired body back to the hotel, Ji Yang ran out to play, after all, this is Xia Yu's boat, his opinion is not important.
"Lao Xia, how is today?"
After resting for a while, Ji Yang came back with a large bag and a small bag, and it could be seen that he had gained a lot today.
"Taught to be a man, how are you, buying so many things. ”
"Not much, it's all souvenirs, I think Bremen is much more interesting than San Francisco, and I had lunch at City Hall. ”
There is a cellar restaurant in the basement of Bremen's town hall, which also stocks hundreds of thousands of bottles of national wine.
The wines here are basically white wines, with a light and delicious taste, and Ji Yang also took two bottles as a souvenir, and he didn't forget Xia Yu's share.
"After dinner, I also went to the U-boat museum, the submarine in it is much older, but only one U-2540 is complete. ”
The happier Ji Yang said, the more sad Xia Yu became, he came out for business, and others came out for tourism, it was really unreasonable, and he also wanted to go out to play.
It's okay to play, provided that all the communication work is done, and it is estimated that there will be two or three days.
Yesterday the external structure of the expedition boat was preliminarily determined, and today the internal structure of the ship is mainly discussed, that is, the soft and hard decoration of each functional division.
The small 20,000-ton icebreaker has cleaned up the original scientific research area, and the living area of the people on board has a large area that can be played.
First of all, the sauna is a must, and the luxury bathroom must also be arranged, so that they can wash off the cold as quickly as possible when they return to the ship from the polar regions of minus forty or fifty degrees, and then have a hot pot, which is simply a fairy day.
There shouldn't be too many bedroom suites, six to seven is just right, the basketball court is enough, the gym must be there, and the scientific research facilities on the ship don't need to be emptied, Xia Yu can also do some scientific research while exploring the base, right?
Drilling ice cores and studying the earth's climate and environmental changes over millions of years sounds romantic.
In addition, the waterless cultivation system also has to be arranged, and if you can't eat fresh vegetables for ten days and half a month, how dark your life should be.
Xia Yu tried something darker, and for most of the half a month in the hive base, he could only rely on nutrient solutions to maintain his physical fitness.
There are both hydroponics and artificial meat workshops, but unfortunately none of them are used, after all, he is engaged in research, not to study what scientific and technological feast, what polymer cuisine.
After these functional divisions were finalized one by one, the communication progress was further improved, and on the third day, the Flying Fox in the dockyard officially set sail for Hamburg to meet its owner.
The space was vacated, and the Polestar was officially settled in the dockyard to begin the initial dismantling work, and in the hands of skilled craftsmen, it will be rejuvenated and rejuvenated in a year's time.
Two days later, after the final communication work, Xia Yu prepared to leave Bremen.
The budget also came out, and in order to achieve the effect he wanted, the price of this renovation order was about 55 million euros, plus 80 million to buy the ship, a total of 135 million.
Obviously, the problem that can be solved for more than 500,000 euros, Xia Yu spent 135 million euros, I have to say that being rich is capricious, and no matter how poor he is, he is also a hero.
After the advance payment of 20 million, the experience value column of the system changed again.
This is half the goal, and it shouldn't be a problem to complete it before graduation.
Yes, after the end of the year, Xia Yu will be the second semester of his senior year, and he will have a share of this year's graduation season.
Time flies, today is March 8th, exactly two years after he got the system on March 8, 17.
In two years, he has changed from a local dog worth 10,000 yuan to a small rich man worth 10 billion, and there is still a lot of distance from 100 billion, which should be the lowest existence in the Shenhao world, but he is very satisfied with the answer sheet he handed over.
Money is not a measure of a person's progress, but also knowledge, cultivation, and vision, which can be combined to objectively evaluate a person.
Xia Yu is satisfied with these aspects, he can feel his growth, from naïve to gradually mature, bringing a little change to the world, and the future is still a long way.
"I'm sorry, senior sister, I can't spend this year's anniversary with you. ”
The day he got the system was also the day he met his senior sister, and this year he was not in the country and couldn't celebrate the anniversary together like last year.
"It's okay, you can just be busy with your business, and I'm also busy planning new projects. ”
Yin Suya said that she understood, such an achievement would not come casually, and she was not surprised that Xia Yu was busy with a spinning top.
Hanging up the phone, Xia Yu released the brakes and drove the car into the cabin.
They were going to leave Bremen by boat, leave the country for Yingguo, which was considered a recuperation after work, and by the way, they also fulfilled the previous promise.
The ferry crosses the Ingili Channel and docks at Plymouth Harbour, a seaside city just 310 kilometres from the capital London.
No, it should be 192 miles, as the birthplace of the imperial system, Yingguo must use the imperial system, and you have to drive on the left side like Xiangjiang.
"Lao Xia, it's right to follow me when you come to Yingguo, I'm familiar with this place. ”
Ji Yang's voice came from the car radio, which is convenient to follow the rear of the car, saying that the car can actually move, after all, two people have more than one car, and it is impossible for each car to be equipped with a radio.
"Okay, let's go to London first. ”
"London, come with me on the highway. ”
Ji Yang's black Chiron took the lead, Xia Yu followed closely behind, and the two turned a few lanes before getting on the highway.
Yingguo's high-speed speed limit is 70mileh, and they can't go fast if they stick to the speed limit, but follow the local customs!
After almost 3 hours of driving, London finally arrived.
London in middle school English is either rainy or foggy, and the weather is good today, which allows Xia Yu to see a different London.
"I want a mocha and a bacon sandwich. ”
Xia Yu stopped at a roadside stall, this time he went abroad either a roadside stall or a convenience store, and then a shipyard canteen, which was really business.
