183. The speeding Yuebei
"It can't be!" On the McCampbell, Colonel Fogg's eyes widened, the coffee in his hand had already cooled down when the container ship began to accelerate abnormally, but he still drank it one after another, and he didn't feel the change at all. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"The target speed continues to increase! Now it's 27, 28, 29, 30, 31! Oh, God! I've never seen a container ship run so fast! "The Yuebei's speed continued to soar, and the McCampbell's otherwise relaxed bridge was in chaos.
In Colonel Fogg's view, the warning just issued to the Shenguo freighter was serious and clear enough, an unarmed container ship of no more than 5,000 tons, although the model is quite new, but according to the data, its economic speed is about 18 knots, and the maximum speed is not even theoretically more than 25 knots, and it cannot last long at a high speed of 25 knots, let alone a rapid increase in the current situation of full cargo. You must know that the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, which is the main force of the Yak Army, has a top speed of only about 31 knots, and it is even more impossible to accelerate like the freighter not far away.
Who is more like a warship? All the people in the bridge of the USS McCampbell were thinking about it.
In particular, the freighter, which looked to be full of heavy containers, gradually floated, and the waterline was getting higher and higher!
It's not scientific!
"Full speed ahead, catch up with that damn freighter no matter what!" Colonel Fogg finally drank the cold coffee in his hand, came to his senses, and commanded loudly.
Fortunately, the other party showed only a speed that defied common sense, and a small change in the waterline, and although the bridge of the McCampbell was chaotic, it did not affect the execution of the captain's orders. The captain's acceleration command was immediately conveyed, and four general-purpose LM-2500-30 gas turbine engines began to run to the limit, with a total power of up to 105,000 horsepower, pushing this warship with a displacement of nearly 10,000 tons to catch up!
But after only five minutes of chase, everyone found that the distance between the two ships was getting bigger and bigger.
"What are our speeds now?" Wu Neng asked loudly with his hands on the guardrail next to the boat. Although the wind from the high-speed voyage ruffled his short hair on his head, he was still very happy.
"Verse 33!" Blade was surprised to relay the numbers from the wheelhouse of the freighter, this speed is simply impossible for a container ship to run, don't you see that the McCampbell that can eat waves has been blown up after him?
Looking at the blade that was originally a cool scumbag and almost wrote that I am a special soldier on his face, Wu Neng's face showed a smug smile.
Wu Neng had never been so confident in himself, just now when he heard the arrogant people of the Yi country to stop the ship for inspection, thinking of the encounter and humiliation of the Jinhe back then, the fear in Wu Neng's heart suddenly dissipated, followed by infinite anger. Immediately after, he saw Gao Shuai take out the MBG03A1, he knew very well what terrifying power this super sniper rifle could exert in Gao Shuai's hands, and he even saw the destruction of the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer. However, Gao Shuai did not choose to attack, he just used this power as the last means of counterattack.
Wu Neng couldn't understand Gao Shuai's choice, even if he had the ability to destroy the other party, it was a warship after all, and it was also a warship of the Yan Kingdom. Whether it is the high price of a single ship of nearly 2 billion yuan, the lives of the 380 officers and men on board, or the serious challenge to the hegemony of the country, this is something that the country cannot bear.
The destruction of the McCampbell will inevitably lead to the retaliation of the Yi people, although Wu Neng does not know what level of revenge the Yi people can reach. In the face of a big country like Shen, what price will the people of Shen pay for the destruction of a warship? Declare war? Sanction? Long-term or short-term?
Under the existing international order and the balance of forces, will the sinking of a destroyer of the Yakuza provoke a world war? Wu Neng didn't know, but he knew that the whole world would be violently shaken because of this, and the international political and economic order would be seriously impacted, and no one could accurately reason about the infinite changes that followed.
Suddenly, Wu Neng discovered that he or the people around him actually had the ability to change the world pattern, which gave Wu Neng a new understanding of the power of the supernatural power owner, and also made his blood boil!
"I can be faster!" Wu Neng shouted, his pride overflowing.
However, in Gao Shuai's opinion, Wu Neng is not just proud, he seems to be a little carried away.
"That's enough, this speed should be the limit of this ship." Gao Shuai stopped Wu Neng.
Wu Neng's supernatural ability is density reduction, which can reduce the density of all objects in the 4g/cm3 density range to a state that tends to zero infinitely, so that he can shuttle between the land at will as if walking in the air, achieving the effect of retreat in the myth of the Shen Kingdom. In addition, when Wu Neng encounters objects with a density greater than 4g/cm3, such as most metals, he can still reduce its density, although he can no longer enter and exit freely, but through the reduction of mass after density reduction, he can still achieve many other tactical purposes - once on the Zhaoen Highway, Wu Neng reduced the density of the tanker truck and helped Gao Shuai throw the tanker truck with more than ten tons.
If it is possible to reduce the weight of a tanker by reducing its density, it is also possible to reduce the mass of a container ship to increase its speed. Although there is a huge difference in the volume and weight of the two, there is no difference in principle, so there is an order from Gao Shuai: do your best to reduce the density of this freighter.
Wu Neng hadn't tried his limit, he didn't know how much he could cut, but before he could do his best, the speed of the freighter had already increased to a high speed of 33 knots, and even left the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer behind.
Just when Wu Neng wanted to try again, Gao Shuai shouted: "You can't perfectly control your ability now, the object of your current density reduction is the ship itself and all the cargo it carries, it doesn't matter if the cargo is damaged, compensation is enough afterwards, but if the density of the hull is reduced too much, we can only swim in the sea." ā
In order to increase his persuasiveness, Gao Shuai pointed to the guardrail that Wu Neng was holding in his hand: "This guardrail is the source of your density reduction, but it is now brittle like a piece of plastic." ā
Wu Neng became alert at this time, and with a little force in his hand, the steel railing was immediately pinched out of a fingerprint. If there is no reminder from Gao Shuai, I don't know how fast the freighter will eventually accelerate, and I'm afraid that I will have to plant myself headlong into the sea first. And Gao Shuai is right, when designing a ship, both the structure and the material have been considered as a whole, and it will be inevitable that the whole ship will disintegrate under the dual influence of high speed and waves.
Thankfully, at the current rate, it won't take an hour to get to the Philippines ā if that McCampbell maintains its status quo.
"Alert! We are locked by enemy radars! Repeat, we are locked by enemy radars! Suddenly, an urgent voice came from the walkie-talkie in Blade's hand.
Gao Shuai and Wu Neng immediately looked at the McCampbell a few kilometers behind the ship, and saw that the five-inch MK-45 naval gun on its bow began to rotate, and the muzzle of the black hole pointed directly at it, and the target was the merchant ship under them!

PS: The speed of a ship is related to its power, hull configuration, wet area, tonnage, and sea resistance. Reducing the density of a ship and reducing its mass can increase the speed, but whether it is possible to accelerate a container ship that is not built for high speed to 33 knots, I don't know if the feet and feet are good, and everyone can keep the unknown calendar at a glance, just think that the Yuebei can really fly at 33 knots. o(^_^)o
