You know, this is a battleship that has been in service for twenty years.

The quality of the steel back then, as well as the manufacturing process, were not strong enough from today's point of view.

If the sea conditions are good, there is no problem running at a high speed of 50 knots.

The problem is that the sea conditions are very rough right now. The frequency of the battleship tossing up and down is too high, and the amplitude is too large, which is very easy to cause metal fatigue. Some components may crack directly.

Guan Hongru and Gan Haoyan are both soldiers of the people, eager to save people's hearts, even if they sacrifice themselves.

The problem is that Wang Bu'an is a technician and must ensure the safety of everyone.

If you are on the way to rescue and you have an accident first, not only will the fishermen not be saved, but you will also suffer heavy losses. This is the worst-case scenario.

Wang Bu'an could not accept such a result.

He had to be limited to 45 knots.

This is the tipping line.

It was also his biggest concession.

"Chief Engineer Wang, see if there is a plan that can be strengthened. Chen Xiangmin said in a low voice.

"Yes. Wang Buan nodded.

"Can you show me?"

"Yes. ”

Wang Buan took out the plan.

If you want to strengthen the Jianzhou ship, the first thing is to strengthen the keel, strengthen the watertight compartment spacing, and add stiffeners.

The yield strength of steel at that time was insufficient. Only about 450 Pa.

And in today's warships, the yield strength of steel is basically above 600 Pa.

If it is a large warship with advanced performance, the yield strength has been increased to 800 Pa. For example, the deck of a domestic aircraft carrier.

The yield strength of some of the main stressed members is more than 1000 Pa.

If it is a submarine, the requirements for yield strength are higher, often more than 1100 Pa.

Of course, these are basic data.

Different models, the specific data involved are different. That's all top secret. Only a very small number of people know.

Wang Buan never asked.

Anyway, the yield strength of the propeller he provided is calculated in tens of thousands.

In fact, Wang Buan also wanted to say that there was no need to transform the Jianzhou ship. It's better to transfer it to the Coast Guard. Offshore cruising missions are sufficient.

Its congenital deficiencies cannot be made up for by acquired transformation. There is also no need to make amends.

As long as it lasts for these few months, there will be new ships to replace it soon.

Now is the time to be in the dark.

As long as the new ship equipped with the Panshi 600 engine is launched, the Jianzhou ship can be honorably decommissioned.

At present, there are about 80 new ships equipped with Panshi 600 engines in various shipyards in the north and south of the country. The fastest can be completed in just a few months.

However, even after completion, it will take a period of repeated sea trials, and it will not be officially put into service for the time being.

From this point of view, the Jianzhou ship has to continue to support for a period of time.

"Report!"

"Philippine warships stopped advancing. ”

"120 nautical miles from the target sea. ”

"For the time being, no other country's vessels have been found approaching the target waters. ”

New information is coming in one after another.

But it was the Philippine warship that strangely stopped moving forward.

Probably because of the bad weather conditions, they didn't dare to take risks. So I didn't dare to move on.

After all, the warships of the Philippines are the oldest. It is even older than the Jianzhou ship. If it is not well maintained, it is indeed very dangerous to encounter bad sea conditions.

Meteorological information shows that the tropical cyclone has been upgraded to a tropical storm and is likely to continue to intensify into a typhoon.

The superiors hoped that the Jianzhou ship formation could reach the target sea area as soon as possible.

"Keep going. ”

"Understood. ”

The three frigates continued at a high speed of 46 knots.

Standing on the bridge and looking down, it feels like the entire bow of the ship is going to be inserted into the seawater, and the ups and downs are very large.

When the waves came, they almost covered a third of the ship.

The radar antenna on the mast shivered in the storm.

Chen Xiangmin saw Wang Buan's pale face, and couldn't help but comfort him.

"I can take it. Wang Buan said slowly.

"Come on. Chew two. "Gan Haoyan doesn't know how to comfort people, only licorice.

Wang Buan took the licorice and stuffed it all into his mouth.

Looking at the others, it feels a little embarrassing.

He was the only one on the whole ship. Not even Sheng Huainan.

They are all from the navy. It has long experienced all kinds of winds and waves. The current sea conditions are not the worst.

At its most exaggerated, they had fought in a fourteen-level gale.

In the future, Huaxia's navy will be strong enough, even in the face of an eighteen-level typhoon, it will dare to carry it.

The main thing is that the Jianzhou ship itself is not strong enough. The steel is not strong enough. If it's a 7,000-ton destroyer, or a 10,000-ton drive, or a domestic aircraft carrier, it's just a matter of ignoring it. It is directly pulled to a high speed of 50 knots, as if it is a wild horse galloping all the way. Small-tonnage warships are guilty!

Thankfully, the journey was unharmed.

After more than two hours, they finally arrived at the area where the accident occurred.

The fishing vessel at risk was an 800-ton distant-water fishing vessel numbered Nanyu 29401. In total, there were seventeen crew members on board.

The collision with it was a Philippine fishing boat with a displacement of up to 1,700 tons. There were more than fifty people on board.

Whether it is tonnage or personnel, it is the fishing boats of the Philippines that have the upper hand.

However, judging from the impact situation, Nanyu 29401 did not suffer much.

As a result of the violent collision, both ships were badly damaged. Completely out of steam. It can only be drifting with the wind.

It was already close to the center of the tropical storm, with gusts exceeding force 11 and the highest waves exceeding five meters. It can be said to be very dangerous.

The worst part is that it's still night. The entire sea was almost pitch black, with no fingers visible.

All the searchlights were turned on. Search around as far as you can.

Wang Buan also raised the telescope.

Good guys, there's a lot of tension ahead!

The two groups of fishermen are confronting each other, swords, guns and sticks, all in battle.

The storm is on the verge of erupting.

The smaller side is obviously the Chinese fishermen.

The largest number of people are Filipino fishermen. Their numbers were three times that of the Chinese side.

From the binoculars, Wang Buan could clearly see that there were fishermen injured in China. Forced to lie on the deck. The rest of the people are also wearing lottery.

Such a scene, Wang Buan occasionally sees it in some channels. But I never experienced it firsthand.

Now that I see it with my own eyes, I also feel a little aggrieved and a little angry.

Paralyzed, we are being bullied again.

Paralyzed, even the little Filipino country dared to ride on our heads and.

If they are paralyzed, all Filipinos will take them back. I don't dare if you have participated in fights and brawls, and you will be in prison for a few years. Then each person was fined 100,000 yuan and then deported.

Luckily, our warship arrived. Otherwise, the next situation is simply unimaginable.

Traveling thousands of miles to help is indeed very tiring and dangerous!

But......

Worth!

Worth!

Worth!

Say the important thing three times.

Definitely worth it!

Say it again!

"We are the Chinese People's Liberation Army!"

"We are the Chinese People's Liberation Army!"

"We are the Chinese People's Liberation Army!"

A loud voice came from the radio of the Jianzhou ship. The first is Chinese. Then in English.

The three frigates were outflanked in the shape of a glyph.

All posts are in the first level of combat readiness. Always in the fight.

Gun jacket dismantling.

The machine gun was loaded.

A red flare shot into the sky, bursting into bright red flames.

This is a warning.

The two sides were warned to disengage.

Otherwise, it is not excluded that the machine gun will shoot at the sea. Further warnings.

Obviously, it is enough to launch a flare.

Three frigates!

The other party is just a fishing boat.

With the ability of Zenith, they don't dare to fight against three serious warships.

Otherwise, the 12.7mm machine gun would have sunk to the bottom of the sea with a burst of fire. Of course, these are Wang Buan's own nonsense.

There is a strict set of procedures for dealing with such scenes. Didn't you say that it should be reasonable, advantageous and responsible.

The benefits are definitely our own. But it can't be too much.

In the face of great coercion, the two sides disengaged.

Fishermen in the Philippines obediently returned their fishing boats. The weapon in his hand was also obediently put down.

Just kidding, with knives, guns and sticks against the cannon giants?

Deputy Captain Zhao Hanyang led people down to deal with it.

Medics from the three frigates first boarded the fishing boats in speedboats with medicines and gave first aid to the wounded.

Fortunately, there was no mortal danger. But the injury is still quite serious.

Among them, there is a Chinese fisherman whose arm has been cut off and has lost too much blood, which is dangerous.

There were also injuries on the side of fishermen in the Philippines. First aid was also administered.

Overall, the scene is quite harmonious.

After rescuing the wounded, it is time to take pictures and archive them and preserve the evidence.

This kind of affairs involving foreign fishing vessels are ultimately handled by the coast guard. The Navy is just helping.

What warships have to do is to extract on-site data as much as possible as possible as a basis for handling disputes in the future. Of course, some evidence against Huaxia is that...... Otherwise, what to do running so fast?

Isn't it just to get first-hand information about why we should be the first to arrive at the scene? Unfavorable information is handled "as appropriate."

The situation between the military and the people is not just a joke. It's done with practical actions.

Several fishermen hugged the hygienist and wept.

If it weren't for the timely arrival of the PLA, they might have been really dangerous.

This man, when he is not in a desperate situation, will never realize the preciousness of life. Nor can they appreciate the benefits of a strong motherland.

You see, it was completely at a disadvantage before. It is possible to be completely subdued by the other party at any time.

However, with the arrival of the People's Liberation Army, everything was reversed.

Obviously, in front of the three frigates, the Filipinos were a little wilted. Feeling stressed.

You are fierce, you are fierce, you are more fierce than a professional warship.

Would you like to give you a shuttle machine gun bullet?

Why can't you look down on machine guns?

Do you want 100 mm naval guns?

560mm torpedoes or not?

Do you want an Eagle Strike anti-ship missile?

"Hey, little guy, what are you thinking?" said Chen Xiangmin with a smile.

"Nothing?" Wang Buan shook his head.

"You're not trying to fire and kill everyone else, are you?"

"Nope. ”

"I see your fingers pulling the trigger. ”

"Huh. ”

Wang Buan had no choice but to laugh awkwardly.

Indeed, he did think so.

There is an impulse for a few seconds, and it is enough to destroy the other party. Anyway, the wind and waves are high, and no evidence will be left.

Large-caliber machine guns are abrupt, and it takes a few minutes at most to finish.

Thinking about it later, fortunately I was not from the army. This ideological consciousness is really ...... Shame!

It seems that we still have to continue to receive ideological education.

Well, continuing education.
