Chapter 988: Jumping in the Sea
Zhang Nan took a stack of conceptual design drawings of the superyacht from Nicole's hand and looked at it for a while: needless to say, the luxury equipment here, there is also a fully automatic missile defense system in the advanced configuration, equipped with infrared and chaff jamming bombs, and a large electronic jammer, which can defend against missile attacks with multiple guidance methods to a certain extent.
In addition to taking wire-guided anti-tank missiles, whether you are an old-fashioned radio-guided, infrared-guided small missile, or a radar-guided big guy, this big guy can resist it.
As for not being equipped with offensive weapons, the yacht is at most an armed yacht, and the "Eclipse" in the yacht of the richest man in Russia in the last life Roman Abramovich is a similar armed yacht.
But this is not a battleship, we don't fight a naval battle.
However, even when its own "Sunshine Star" was carrying important supplies on a long voyage, several sets of individual air defense and anti-tank missiles would be placed in the cabin of ordinary light weapons.
According to the design drawings, this big guy with a full load displacement of 13,000 tons has no problem as an arms ship.
There are also two options for the power system, if you just choose Quanchaidong, which has a range of more than 6,500 nautical miles, you can casually cross the Pacific Ocean.
If you choose the matching scheme of medium-speed diesel engine and two gas turbines, the cruising speed is 21 knots, and the maximum range at this time can exceed 10,000 nautical miles!
After using gas turbines to accelerate, a 13,000-ton superyacht can run at a speed of more than 30 knots!
"I like big voyages, the speed of 21 knots is fast enough, these 25 knots are windy and waves, dizzy!"
Zhang Nan has his own suggestions: his yacht is not just a flat-bottomed boat that hangs in a small pond such as the Caribbean Sea or the Mediterranean, but the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans must be frequented.
Especially in the North Atlantic route, let alone 13,000 tons, even if the 130,000-ton giant ship runs 25 knots, a careless can make you seasick.
Besides, 21 knots and 25 knots seem to be not much different, and the fuel consumption here can be a big difference, and the high-speed diesel engine designed for the 25-knots cruising speed reduces the output power to run 21 knots, and the fuel consumption is not much less.
We are rich, but we can't spend unjust money that we don't like.
What if you want to be excited?
Turn on the gas turbine to accelerate, and the fuel will be wasted, and it will not be bad for money..
Ha!
said his own advice, it doesn't matter if it's Nicole's turn, "You have the final say." ”
I have the final say, this ship is really good: the whole ship is made of steel, the cockpit and the master suite are also equipped with bulletproof armor plates, bulletproof glass, dynamic sirens for the whole boat, underwater frogman monitoring system...
There is nothing to say about the security measures.
When Zhang Nan saw the bottom design of the 9th deck of the big ship, he found something interesting - the yacht comes with a miniature submarine, and the yacht owner can take the submarine to directly enter the submarine cabin in the back half of the yacht from underwater.
"Is this thing necessary?"
This question, Nicole said quite casually: "I think it's good, our family has too many secrets, it's better to keep a low profile." ”
Zhang Nan smiled on his face: "It's good if you like it." ”
The old husband and wife are old, and they can speak simply.
It is...
Such a big guy is still low-key?
When it really comes to the safety of the submarine, this big ship is the best target, and the ghost will go to the top!
But it's a good idea to think about it the other way around: at least in case you need to leave the yacht and run away, or in any other emergency, you need to get out of the sea in disguise.
The Italian shipbuilders that built the "Sunshine Star" could not build a superyacht of this class, and the design drawings marked that the designer was ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems' Hamburg shipyard, where not only tens of thousands of tons of super cruise ships will be built, but also German submarines.
If this 13,000-ton superyacht is based on a high allocation, the cost will casually exceed all the existing frigates in the world, and you must know that even the Ticonderoga-class cruisers in previous years cost more than $1 billion each.
To what extent should the yacht be luxurious and safe, so that it can compare with the price of those weapons and electronic equipment on the missile cruiser?
$1 billion, that's the price of all weapons and equipment, including a single full-loaded missile, torpedo.
Warships, those missiles and torpedoes are cheap!
In a few years, Huaxia will import several Kilo-class submarines from Maozi, and the average price of each of them will be $257 million; the two Type 956 destroyers ordered from Russia in 1995 are the kind of "modern-class" missile destroyers that are customarily referred to as "aircraft carrier killers," and the unit price of the two Type 956EM destroyers ordered in 2001 is only $700 million.
Money, money spent.
American shipyards do not have the experience and ability to build superyachts, which is cheap for the Germans.
Zhang Nan actually likes German man-made boats, which are rigorous and sturdy, and the possibility of quality problems is relatively small, and there will be fewer flashy layout designs on the top.
The two of them talked so casually, and they gave the shipbuilding plan, but if you want to take this superyacht, you have to wait, the construction period is at least 3 years, and it will be good to be completed and delivered in 94.
Hundreds of millions of yachts, this is not over, Nicole is still thinking of customizing another boat at the same time, which is much smaller than a superyacht, with a full load of six or seven thousand tons, and the cost is about 30 million US dollars.
However, some of the equipment to be purchased at the head of the second ship will be very expensive, and a set of atmospheric mechanical diving suits operating at a depth of 300 meters will exceed 500,000 US dollars, let alone a small deep-diving submarine.
What Nicole wants is a real deep-sea salvage mother ship with a speed of 14 knots, a range of 13,000 nautical miles, and an unlimited sailing area.
Last time, I said that I would set up a marine salvage company in the future, and Nicole thought of it, and she really let people start to prepare.
Salvage boats, making money is secondary, fun is important.
Once the construction of this salvage ship starts, it can be completed in a year, and with a few months of personnel adaptation and equipment commissioning, it will be possible to search for underwater treasures all over the world.
The "Big Shark" is a cargo ship after all, and a cameo salvage ship is an expedient measure. The professional salvage ship is good, the equipment is suitable, the living conditions are good, and it can maintain self-sustaining power for more than two months at sea, and the salvage capacity is not comparable to the "Big Shark".
There are countless shipwreck treasures on the bottom of the sea, and the sea is a good pastime for rich and wealthy people, and a few women in the family like to go to the sea to hang around, and by the way, hunt for treasures - some of the porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty shipwrecks from the Java Sea will also be auctioned, which is too much.
Of course, Yuan Qinghua is not sold, and it is not counted as the agricultural curator, and the rest of Zhang Nan is kept by himself.
We are not short of money, Yuan Qinghua porcelain of this level can be used to support the façade and be used as decorations, whether it is a museum or a few pieces in your own house, it is properly graded.
Regardless of whether it's worth that much or not, that's the reality.
