Chapter 1055 Rat Superman (120 Monthly Pass Plus Update)
John Brown Shipyard, Glasgow, Scotland. This large shipyard, which built the battleships Barham for the British Empire, the battlecruisers Hood, Indomitable, Tiger, Australia and Counter-Strike, is now the shipbuilding center of Norwegian Kvarna. The Commander of the Poseidon Company was built here, and now Hong Tao's Mouse Superman cruise ship has also been renovated here, and it is wearing a colorful desert camouflage livery, lying quietly next to the huge pier, which looks so weird that everyone who sees it can't help but look twice. In addition to the inexplicable paintwork, the big rat head on the bow of the boat that is several stories high also makes people shudder, some things are too big, they will change from quantity to quality, anyway, no matter from which angle this mouse head looks, you can't see a little cute, playful feeling, always feel that its eyes are very cold.
"Mr. Levin, why do I see you everywhere I go? Even if we are partners, we don't need to be so close, right?" Hong Tao saw at the first glance on the dock a person he didn't want to see, Levine with a goatee. Although this guy has helped himself several times and entrusted his private money to Crystal Orchid Capital for investment, in Hong Tao's eyes, he is a smiling tiger. Once he is not in his interests, he can immediately turn his face, because he does not represent an individual, it doesn't matter if he turns his face or cooperates, as for who or who is standing behind him, Hong Tao can't figure it out.
"It makes me so sad that you have treated your friend like this, and I bought this ship for you, right?" Not to see you off and the ship, but to check that it meets the requirements for retrofitting. If you put something on it that shouldn't be fitted, I'm in big trouble. For example, the things you put in the bilge, are you sure you want to take them back to the United States?" Although Levin said it sadly, there was no sad expression on his face.
"Those are all scrapped things, they are not even qualified for retirement, they can neither start, nor shoot, and they don't even have ammunition, is the US government still worried that I will use such a pile of scrap metal to capture Washington?" Hong Tao was very dissatisfied with this nonsense made up by Levin. The sophistication of making up nonsense reflects in a certain sense how much the other person values you. If you can't even make up a nonsense, it means that the other party doesn't value you very much. What is placed in the bilge is nothing more than a few empty shells of fighter jets, empty shells of tanks, and rusty anti-aircraft guns that Hong Tao bought in Ukraine. Levin has seen these things a long time ago, and he still talks about them now. It's obviously fooling yourself.
"Well, I'm trying to borrow your ship, you know the Commander can't be used yet, but many of those scientists haven't experienced ocean sailing. If you can let them train in advance. It will save them a lot of trouble in the future, and it would be nice if you could use your ship to help them get acquainted with life at sea!" Levin saw that Hong Tao was not fooled, so he simply said it directly.
"Dream, you can get on the boat, I promised you a room on it, but no one else can even think about it, this is my private territory. Those old old-fashioned people who scolded me every day dared to get on my boat, so I drove the boat directly to hit the rocks. Whoever dies or lives depends on his own ability!" Hong Tao was not accommodating at all, he respected those scientists. But I really can't live with them, it's not a human being at all, and it's painful to say a word more. Besides, training personnel is the company's business, why use your own private boat, this problem cannot be accustomed.
"Let's make a deal, I'll get you a New York City flight permit, so you can fly a helicopter to the top of the World Trade Center and go straight to the office. You must know that in addition to police and news shooting helicopters, New York is still very strict in the management of low-altitude aircraft. "Levin started to do business with Hong Tao again, if Hong Tao still has a little bit of a good impression of him, it is his habit. He basically did not use the power in his hands to coerce Hong Tao, and always exchanged interests with Hong Tao, just like doing business, both parties can freely choose to buy or not to buy, sell or not to sell.
"And in Los Angeles, I have residences in Holbe Hill and Beverly Hills. "Hong Tao began to bargain, Levin is indeed a good businessman, he can always accurately grasp the weaknesses of his opponents and know what they urgently need.
"Then I won't pay for this voyage, can you sign for my daughter? She's your fan......" Obviously, Levin had long expected that Hong Tao would increase the price, so he agreed to Hong Tao's request without thinking about it, and while touching his beard, he took out a small note from his pocket and handed it to Hong Tao.
"What is this? Just sign it? My name is too worthless, isn't it?" Hong Tao almost didn't snatch the note in Levin's hand and tore it, it was a hamburger wrapper, which was too disrespectful to himself as a big singer, and acquaintances couldn't do this!
"Oh, you're mistaken, this is the address of my house, you can just mail the signed record to this address, it's my holiday gift to her. I'm done here, and I'll ask them to send the trip to the fax machine on your ship, and I'll look at your office, it's a good place. Levin directly stuffed the torn wrapping paper into Hong Tao's pocket, and by the way, wiped his hands on Hong Tao's sleeve, and then walked to the car next to the dock.
“…… How old is your daughter? Do you mind being my father-in-law?" Hong Tao pinched the wrapping paper with two fingers, pulled it out of his pocket, and put it in Singh's hand. Nima is reluctant to even buy the record herself, and says that she is her own fan, what is the use of this kind of fan? But since she is his daughter, if she is the right age, she can still be accommodating.
"You'll have to ask her that question yourself, but don't worry, she's just in ninth grade, and you'll have time to get acquainted. Levin opened the car door, answered Hong Tao's question with a smile, and waved his hand at Hong Tao before getting in.
"Old thing! 40-year-old still has a daughter, didn't you check it, is it your own!" Hong Tao made Levin choke a big neck, unable to refute it in person, and could only slander it behind his back.
Let Levin stir up like this, Hong Tao was in a much less good mood when he saw the Mouse Superman, but when he boarded this big ship of his own, he recovered again. The helicopter platform at the rear alone is the size of six or seven basketball courts, and there are indeed two tennis courts and a basketball court, and there is even a row of three-story grandstands that can be pushed to the back of the bow when not in use.
The original bow tower, which was full of antennas and observation decks, is now much simpler, leaving only the first and second floors, and the structure of the third floor has been largely demolished and turned into a platform with a transparent opening and closing roof. Above is a large bedroom of nearly 100 square meters, as well as a complete set of office equipment and jacuzzi, this is the master bedroom designed by Hong Tao for himself. As long as he wants, it is easy to sleep 5 or 6 people in that big bed, and it does not delay him from connecting with the rest of the world. When you close the roof, it's a private space, and when you open the roof, you feel like you're camping, and you can live and work at the same time.
At the front of the second floor is the bridge station, and at the back is the enclosed room, where the most private parts of the ship are located, the communications room and the office. The ship's external communication equipment and all Hong Tao's private documents will be installed here. If you want to enter this part of the space, you must go through the large bedroom on the third floor, and the rest of the place is a dozen centimeters thick bulletproof armored walls, which is the only part of the ship that has not removed the original armor, Hong Tao gave Amundsen the reason that he needed a bulletproof shelter.
The ground floor is larger, similar to an indoor basketball court, and is home to a restaurant and bar, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows that allow diners to enjoy a meal while enjoying the blue ocean outside. After the meal, it only needs to be simply set up, and it can be turned into a ballroom or discotheque, and the equipment is ready-made.
The main cabins on the ship are under the helicopter deck, which was originally a hangar, and now there is no need to carry a dozen Ka-25 anti-submarine helicopters, so the area near the bridge has been converted into a living area. On the upper floor are 18 large suites with portholes, and on the lower floor are the quarters for the ship's staff. The rear of the hangar is currently a hangar and equipment warehouse, and the three helicopters are usually placed in it, and there are special personnel for maintenance, as long as the spare parts are sufficient, there is still enough equipment here for simple processing and maintenance.
The changes on the next floor are relatively large, the original bulletproof ammunition depots have also been demolished, and most of them have become warehouses, and only the place near the stern is closed separately. There is a dock with a 10-meter-long submarine parked inside, and if you need to dive, the watertight door below will open, and the submarine will automatically be lowered by the hoisting system, directly into the water at the stern, and then rely on its own power to move.
In addition to the two pilots, the small submarine can accommodate four passengers, and can stay on the bottom of the sea at a depth of 80 meters for 48 hours on its own, with a range of 50 nautical miles. Despite its small size, it has a lot of functions, such as sonar system, communication system, GPS positioning system, and the drive system used is the same as the dynamic stabilization system on the Odyssey. In fact, it is a miniature version of the dynamic stability system, relying on 12 electric drives distributed in the front and back of the hull, left and right, up and down, which can allow this small submarine to achieve complex actions such as turning, vertical floating, and big head up in a very narrow place, for which Hong Tao paid more than 800,000 US dollars.
