Zhang Nan said that if it were possible, even the one that was put into use in May last year and the world's largest giant An-225 would be bought!

Rich, capricious!

In Austria, the Super Castle has been surveyed to be a dream castle beyond Neuschwanstein Castle;

In Italy, shipyards have already begun to prepare materials for the dream ship, and early next year will lay the first keel, which will be their own supertanker;

The world's largest finished diamond is in his own hands, made into a big toy for his daughter;

The world's largest copper mine is its own, it has more than ever had more diamond mines than De Beers, the world's first Boeing 767 private jet, and the world's largest wholly owned security contracting company......

Even the world's No. 1 financial investment company in terms of cash flow, that's itself!

This is still "the world's first", if you get a batch of "world's top ten" titles, then you can't count all of them at once, not to mention the others, your own Gulfstream 4 is already a fleet.

On the surface, he has the nationality of three countries, and he is still the chief of two countries, and he can actually control the administration and army of one of them, although that country is as big as a sesame mung bean.

The most important thing: these are public wealth and strength, and those hidden wealth are enough to build a thousand-year-old family.

Who counts gold in "thousand tons", let alone jewelry and art that will take years to sort out.

Oh, Zhang Nan's favorite silver dollars are so many that he doesn't bother to pay attention to them for the time being, these hundreds or thousands of tons, let's talk about it.

It's already like this, and I don't care about getting the world's largest plane again!

It's a real air giant, and if your own Boeing 767 stops with it, it will look like a dwarf!

The maximum take-off weight is 640 tons, and the public data given by the Soviets is 250 tons (in fact, it may be far more than that, because the empty weight of the An-225 is 175 tons, and there is a difference of 465 tons between its maximum take-off weight: even if the load is 300 tons, it can still fill more than 160 tons of fuel into the king's mailbox. ）。

100 tons of cargo are loaded in the warehouse, and it can fly nearly 10,000 kilometers, with a maximum range of more than 15,400 kilometers!

Five years ago, that is, in 1985, the Soviet Union had a premonition that the space shuttle "Buran" and supporting rocket equipment that were being developed at that time would need to be transported in the future, so it issued an order to the Antonov Aeronautical Science and Technology Consortium to develop and design a super-large transport aircraft with enough size.

Many years ago, Joseph Stalin once said with a very confident saying: "If you want a big plane, look for Tupolev." ”

The USSR has always been fond of large aircraft, and the design bureau of Oleg Konstantinovich Antonov has developed this hobby to the extreme, and this is the An-225!

Originally planned to build two, due to time constraints, most of the shooting concept of the An-225 was based on the An-124 transport aircraft.

The An-225-1 aircraft was completed and shipped from the factory the year before last, and the first test flight was carried out in Kiev at the end of the year, and the first piggyback flight of the "Buran" was completed in May last year.

Since last year, however, the Soviet Union's economy has deteriorated to the point where it can no longer support expensive space exploration programs, and the Buran shuttle was forced to abort after a successful actual launch.

The space shuttle program has stopped, and now the An-225, which was designed and built specifically for the space program, has lost its meaning of existence, and the second An-225 will only be partially completed and has been mothballed, and the only An-225 transport aircraft that has actually completed the manufacturing work and can fly is the only one.

I know that before Zhang Nan's rebirth more than 20 years later, it is still unique!

But now, that single seedling will not wait for a few years, and will be left in the plant of the Antonov plant in Ukraine as a spare parts supplier, and will be constantly disassembled for the use of the An-124 fleet, and it will not be repaired and put into use again until the new century.

If you can buy the An-124, then you can get the only An-225, and even many parts of these two aircraft are common, and the maintenance is still the same system.

Ukraine will soon be poor and crazy, that super monster is a chicken rib for Ukraine, no one wants such a big guy if they want to sell it in the past few years, how to use it if you buy it?

Oversized cargo transportation, generally with An-124 can be done, if it is necessary to An-225 out of the goods not only very few, there are estimated by sea, in a hurry is always a few.

You must know that the length and width of the cargo compartment of these two aircraft are the same, that is, the length of the cargo compartment of the An-225 is only 7 meters longer than that of the An-124.

Converted into a passenger plane?

That's awesome!

After calculation, the An-225's huge cargo compartment should be able to accommodate 1,500 to 2,000 passengers after being converted into a passenger cabin, which is 4-5 times that of the Boeing 747-400, the world's largest passenger aircraft.

But is it necessary?

If nothing else, there is no other route in the world that can feed it, and even the short-haul, high-traffic routes from Los Angeles to New York and Japan do not need such exaggerated passenger capacity.

It's a chicken rib left and right, and when it comes to the year after tomorrow, Ukrainians will have a headache when they see it!

This is Zhang Nan's confidence to buy a big plane.

Poor and crazy people can do anything, let alone sell public things, but the green Franklin can stuff it into his own pocket and sell it to Zhang Nan.

The once incomparably powerful Red Empire, that huge treasure trove of wealth, is about to become a supermarket for capable countries, consortia, and individual adventurers all over the world.

A train of cucumbers for a car of copper, a few boxes of instant noodles for Volga...

What else can't be done?

There's a problem, though.

Here, Boss Guan said to Zhang Nan: "If you buy those two big guys back, where will you put them?"

When Zhang Nan heard this, he also felt that this was a problem, but after thinking about it for a while, he found a solution to this problem.

"The take-off distance of the An-124 is 100 meters longer than my 767, and now my giant mining areas, as well as several airports on Long Island, Montana, and Gambia, are all built according to this 767 take-off and landing standard, no problem.

An-225 I remember that the maximum payload take-off is 3500 meters, and the runways of the Gambia, Botswana, my emiratedom, as well as Long Island and Montana are lengthened according to this standard. ”

Well, or because it's not bad for money!

The runway can be lengthened, the hangar is more meaningful, and the steel price structure is just a thing, and you can do it with money, but it is just a larger volume.

If it's not an aircraft carrier, you don't need to build hangars for those big guys, it's a military plane, and the skin is solid, and it can be carried by the wind and the sun.

The lengthening of the runway at the Long Island airport can be a bit difficult, as the land previously purchased for the expansion of the airport does not know if the extension will be long.

If it's not enough, then you have to continue to buy, for fear of running into a nail-household who only loves the house and doesn't want money.

In the United States, nail-household, cow!

There is land in that camp in Gambia, and the construction of the airport has just been surveyed, not to mention the runway of three or four kilometers in length, which can be doubled.

In the same way, Montana and his own territory in Botswana can be added casually, and the length can be increased to land the space shuttle, not to mention that in the first half of the year, Jenny bought a large farm next door to Montana's farm, a city, and the place is very large.

It's a little bit of a problem on the small island in the Indian Ocean, geographical reasons: in fact, there is no need to be so exaggerated, which is the same as the use of airports in major mining areas, and the goods transported in may be large, but there is no need to take off with a full load when returning.

Antonov's transport aircraft, as long as it does not take off with a full load, the short take-off capability is still first-class.

If you only transport paratroopers and infantry, a light infantry battalion, counting all the equipment and ammunition, will probably not reach 100 tons, and it is not the maximum range that can be achieved by refueling up to the maximum take-off weight for every flight.

As for the runway strength, all the airport runways that Zhang Nan has owned and will have can meet the needs of the C5 "Galaxy" heavy transport aircraft to take off and land, and the width is at least the standard design of the 767.

According to civil aviation standards, the runway that can land the An-124 is one level higher than that of the Boeing 767, but in practice it is not so strict.

The regulations are the regulations, and the actual operation is the actual operation: the C5 "Galaxy" can be used, and the An-225 and An-124 can be used.

Will drive a modified Antonov as his own special plane?

Seems doable!

The Boeing 747-400 is large, but its take-off and landing performance is not as good as that of the An-124, at least the take-off distance is more than 500 meters longer.

Runways with a length of 2.5 km are easy to find, and more than 3 km are rare. I just don't know how loud Antonov's noise is, if it's too big, forget it, the bad memories of riding a Maozi-made transport plane 4 years ago are still fresh in my memory.

This will be almost dissipated, and I know that I am not capable of raising the bar with the US government, especially in the event of a war.

Admit it!

If you go to Botswana, you will either register an airline in the Gambia, and when the time comes, the plane that buys Maozi will hang there: give those two countries ten bear-hearted leopard guts, and don't dare to point fingers at yourself!

Provoked Lao Tzu and me, Lao Tzu asked you to change the president!

Throw angry things at the back of your mind, and since life is irresistible for the time being, enjoy it.

The guys are all ready, and the scene is set to work.

When the workboat reaches the wreck, the sunlight at the back of the yacht turns on, and it will be a little dirty later: the pipes of the suction pumps will be connected to this location, and the sediment will be filtered with large iron ore so as not to leak through the tiny underwater artefacts.

Zhang Nan didn't have to remember to go into the water, let the divers do it down first.

Wear these plastic slippers and sit overtime in the sun, watching the murky water rush through the pipes into the iron basket.

The bottom of the sea is clay bottom, and the things left in the iron ore are basically more than 600 years old: a lot of broken porcelain pieces have been sucked up, and it seems that they are all Cizhou kilns.

Guan Xingquan looked at Zhang Nan's low nature, and also knew the approximate reason: this guy was not familiar with the northern kiln at all, and if he wanted a boatload of Cizhou kiln porcelain here, he was definitely not interested.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Captain Philips arrived in the sunshine and said to Zhang Nan: "Boss, there is news about the Big Shark." ”

When Zhang Nan heard this, he got up and shook his feet in the sea water next to the overtime, and then the Lord worked overtime.

There is no intercom on the sun deck.

There is news, it must be the discovery of the wreck more than ten nautical miles away.

Sure enough, the voice on the radio was Chen Jianghua, and he was a little excited to listen to it.

"Mr. Zhang, we just found two stick cannons!"

Hearing this, Zhang Nan probably knew what kind of ship it was: bamboo cannon, from the Ming Dynasty!

"Early or late?"

Impatient.

"The iron cannon is too rotten to look good. However, I also found the blue and white broken bowl of the folk kiln in Jingdezhen, and I looked at it as the Yongle year, the latest thing in the Xuande period.

It may be that the warships of Zheng He's fleet are not necessarily, and there are not too many merchant ships equipped with stick cannons. ”

knows how to do this Chen Jianghua, who made his work unit Yongcheng Exhibition Hall, and the teacher is the curator comrade.

In the study of ancient Chinese navigation, Nong Bosheng is an expert among experts.

But that's not right!

According to historical records, there are five types of ships in Zheng He's fleet under the Western Ocean: the first type is called "treasure ship", the largest treasure ship is 44 zhang 4 feet long and 18 zhang wide, replaced by the current weights and measures, that is, the length is more than 150 meters, the width is more than 60 meters, and the level of 10,000 tons!

The second type is called "horse boat", which is 37 zhang long and 15 zhang wide.

The third type is called "grain boat", which is 28 zhang long and 12 zhang wide.

The fourth type is called "sitting on a boat", which is 24 zhang long and 9 zhang 4 feet wide.

The fifth type is called "war ship", which is 18 zhang long and 6 zhang 8 feet wide.

Even the smallest one, which is more than 60 meters long and more than 20 meters wide, is less than 20 meters long for the wreck that the "Big Shark" is salvage!

Speaking of the doubts in his heart, Chen Jianghua, who was on the other side of the intercom, said: "The ship is too big, and when it sinks, it will not be covered by the mud on the bottom of the sea, at least it has been running in the sea for more than 550 years, and most of it has long been rotten."

The two bamboo cannons were exposed in the soil of the seabed, and they were five or six meters away from the remaining hull, and I saw that the ship was so rotten that only the bottom of the ship remained, and the cultural relics were scattered. ”

This sound is also reasonable: small boats are easy to preserve, but big ships rot quickly.

After a few more words, there are very few artifacts found for the time being, but some of the ship's iron construction.

There was also iron in wooden ships, especially warships.

But there are very few porcelain, and Chen Jianghua temporarily thinks that the ship can sink on the way back, and the porcelain exported from Daming should have been sold a long time ago. Even if it is loaded, it will bring back a lot of spices and even rice.

Time passed, and those items had long since been destroyed by Time and Sea, and it was unlikely that there would be any major discoveries on the shipwreck on his side.

“...... It doesn't matter if it's not much, just search for a few days and leave. I'm all from Cizhou kilns, and I'm not very interested, so I don't know if there will be some new discoveries......"

After talking for five or six minutes, the call ended.

The underwater divers continued to change shifts and dredge, and found that the boat below should have four cargo holds, two of which were still there, even the upper covers.

Until 12 noon, I planned to call people up for lunch and continued in the afternoon.

Outcome......

Vita Bruno floated up from the bottom of the sea and appeared on the side of the sun, with a big dick in the mesh bag in his hand.

Zhang Nan's eyes were good, and he had already seen what it was, but before he could speak, Vita, who took off his diving goggles, said: "Boss, there is a small half-cabin under this porcelain, which is fixed on a wooden shelf. ”

"-groove!

You're kidding!"

It was a big plate, a blue and white plate with a diameter of at least 40 centimeters!
