Chapter 127: Converting a freighter
……
Since Wu Hao's cargo ship had already prepared all kinds of procedures, he did not encounter any abnormal situations from the time he controlled the cargo ship to leave the dock to the time he sailed away from the port for dozens of nautical miles, such as inspections and the like.
And as long as Wu Hao can sail the ship out of the territorial waters of China safe and sound, after entering the open sea, he will not have to worry about anything.
Although the sea voyage is very boring for ordinary people, it is very easy for Wu Hao, because he left the cockpit at the very beginning of the cargo ship out of the port and into the wide sea area, and set a course for the ship to sail automatically.
Of course, although there is an automatic navigation system on this cargo ship, it is impossible to completely make the ship sail automatically, and Wu Hao's automatic navigation is completely based on the condition that he has telekinesis.
Because his telekinesis covers a range of 1,000 meters, which means that he can control the cargo ship at any time from anywhere on the ship.
So since he doesn't have to stay in the cockpit all the time, he can start to modify the cargo ship during this boring sea voyage, and when he completes some basic modifications of the cargo ship, and then does a good job of accurate positioning, then he can freely go back and forth between the cargo ships and bases, and transport the high-precision components and equipment prepared before.
The basic materials used to modify the cargo ship are now all in the hold of the cargo ship, that is, the various materials and materials that Wu Hao had prepared in the dock warehouse a few days ago.
The most of these materials is undoubtedly a variety of specifications of steel, including steel beams, steel plates, steel pipes, etc., and the quality of these steels is currently the best steel on the market, and these various specifications of steel add up to a total of 11,000 tons.
The specifications and quantity of these steels have long been planned by Wu Hao according to the cargo ship, although this amount seems huge, but for this 65,000-ton cargo ship with a full load. This little thing is just a piece of cake.
In addition, the steel itself is relatively heavy, and it does not take up much space, so there is still a lot of space in the main cabin.
In addition to these steels, there are other metal materials such as aluminum and copper, as well as other auxiliary materials in varying quantities, such as thick cables and so on.
The total weight of all these goods is about 22,000 tons. According to Wu Hao's refit plan, this large ship with a full load capacity of 65,000 tons can carry up to 20,000 tons of cargo after the refit is completed.
However, once the interior space of the cabin is fully modified, there is no extra space left for loading cargo, so this problem can be completely ignored.
In the cabin, Wu Hao's work efficiency was also very fast, and he saw that the original tools and equipment were controlled by Wu Hao's telekinesis, as if they had been given life. What to do at the beginning, cutting for a while, welding for a while, it seems to be messy but very regular.
"At the current rate, if this cargo ship wants to be fully refitted, it will take half a month at the earliest, and if it is delayed during the period, it will take almost one month." When the cargo ship sailed out of the territorial waters of China and entered the vast open sea. Wu Hao let the cargo ship start to sail slowly, and he did not intend to sail the ship too far away from China during the refit of the cargo ship.
Of course. He couldn't let the ship stop and not go, so there was no pattern to the route Wu Hao chose, as long as he ensured that his cargo ship was still sailing in the sea towards a certain target.
Two days later, after Wu Hao's renovation of the cargo ship's cabin, the transformation of the cargo ship's fusion reactor cabin was finally completed, and the fusion reactor and related equipment had begun to be assembled.
But. Before that, Wu Hao had to drive the aircraft back to the base a few times, because the various parts of the fusion reactor were still in the base, and some of the parts of the fusion reactor were not low in weight, but fortunately, they were still within the range of Wu Hao's telekinesis.
And so it went by for another 3 days. After these 3 days, Wu Hao finally completed the construction of the fusion reactor of the cargo ship, of course, in fact, the time that Wu Hao really used to form the reaction in these 3 days was only 1 day, and the other two days he used to go back and forth between the cargo ship and the Qinling base.
After almost two days of round-trip transportation, all the components that had been prepared at the base were also transported to the cargo ship.
"Now that the fusion reactor has been built, the original engine of this cargo ship can also be disassembled." The reactor that Wu Hao built was about the same size as the reactor he had at the Qinling base, but in addition to the role of the reactor on the cargo ship, it was also used to drive the cargo ship.
In other words, once Wu Hao dismantles the original engine of the cargo ship and replaces it with a fusion reaction as power, then the cargo ship will be a nuclear-powered cargo ship.
If Wu Hao is modifying the deck of a cargo ship, it can be used as a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. Of course, the length and width of the deck of this cargo ship are still much worse than that of a real aircraft carrier, because the structure between the cargo ship and the aircraft carrier is inherently very different, and the deck and overall structure of the aircraft carrier are completely different from the structure of the cargo ship.
The deck of an aircraft carrier is much wider than that of an ordinary cargo ship, and the aircraft carrier pursues speed like a warship, while a cargo ship needs enough internal space and smooth navigation, so even if Wu Hao's cargo ship is loaded with nuclear power, it cannot be compared with a real aircraft carrier.
Even if its power system is the same as that of an aircraft carrier, or even larger than an ordinary aircraft carrier, due to the structure of the hull, its sailing speed cannot be compared with that of a military ship.
However, now Wu Hao's cargo ship has completely eliminated the original diesel engine, replaced by a steam turbine drive that only warships have, once it moves at full speed, although it cannot be compared with a real warship, but it is definitely much faster than other cargo ships.
Moreover, now that the freighter has this fusion reactor on board, it will become a perpetual motion machine, and unless one day there is a problem with the overall structure of the cargo ship's hull, it will not have to go back to any port for any resupply work.
When Wu Hao disassembled the engine of the cargo ship, the cargo ship also temporarily stopped sailing, and just drifted freely on the sea, but this process did not last long, just half a day's work, the cargo ship regained its power again, and this time its power was stronger than before.
The cabin where the cargo ship formed the fusion reaction was next to the power compartment of the original cargo ship, and now after Wu Hao dismantled the original huge diesel engine, this power compartment seemed empty.
