Chapter 446: A Yacht That Should Be Called A Cruise Ship

This seems to have no benefit from the military factory, but it is exactly what Xu Ziling said before, he wants to make money, that is, to make money from foreigners, the entire earth's ocean area accounts for 70%, you can imagine how many countries have navies.

But how many of these countries have the ability to independently develop warships?

The products are sold internationally, this is the king, and he really doesn't pay attention to those orders in his own country, so in the long run, it is certain to make money by virtue of the superiority of the products in other countries, and this is the source of profits for military factories.

He promised in front of everyone, of course, he made the cadres of the South China Sea Fleet happy, but Tang Jiannian stood in the position of an elder, but he was a little worried, because in his opinion, the country's navy originally only had two forces, the South China Sea Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet, and the sale of warships to the South China Sea Fleet did not make a penny, so just to make some money from the East China Sea Fleet, the military factory could recover the cost? It is important to know that although the Jiangnan Factory is not as large as the top shipyards in China, such a heavy industry shipyard is not absolutely controlling for three or two hundred million.

"So how do you make money?" Tang Jiannian never thought that such a warship would be exported, and he couldn't figure out where Xu Ziling would make a profit, but he knew that he would definitely not do a loss-making business, so he was curious, "According to what you said, how many years will it take for the cost you invested to be recovered?" ”

"Export, in this case, I estimate that the cost will be recovered in three years at the latest, and if it is soon, two years will be enough."

"No, how can this be exported, absolutely not exported."

Tang Jiannian's face was serious, and he resolutely opposed what Xu Ziling said, in his opinion, exporting such a warship is treason.

Seeing his strange appearance, Xu Ziling quickly reacted, smiled and said: "I remember that the Jiangnan factory also has export orders, is it possible that the exported products are the same as those used in China?" You can put a hundred hearts, I don't want to sell my own use. ”

Xu Ziling is not so stupid, just like the "Tiger" that now has foreign orders, it is absolutely impossible to be the same as the original, even a gun has to be changed, and it is even more impossible for the warship to be sold like this, so when the self-use version came out, the export version had already been done, and compared to the self-use version, the mass production of the export version was even easier.

In order to meet Zhang Lao's requirements, he handed over part of the information, and asked Zhang Lao to organize the researchers of the research institute to tackle key problems in related technologies, and the rest of the specific affairs must wait for the military factory to arrange people.

Leaving the conference room, after he and Tang Jiannian agreed on some things to discuss between the two sides, he left the headquarters and went to the port to meet Yang Ruolan and them, after all, he mainly came here this time to have more fun with Yang Ruolan.

March in Star City is the season when you can still wear a coat, but here, it is more than enough to wear a long-sleeved single coat, and when you come to the port, Yang Ruolan and her party got on the warship docked in the port under the leadership of Lao Gao.

"Shall we go to sea later?" Yang Ruolan stood on the deck, the sea breeze blew, a green silk fluttered with the wind, her face was slightly red because of happiness, and when she saw Xu Ziling coming, she smiled, and immediately took Xu Ziling's arm, and said softly in his ear.

"Okay! But it's afternoon now, and it won't be long before I'm back. "She wants to go, how could Xu Ziling not agree?

"Then I won't come back, I can spend the night at sea, just in time to watch the sunrise in the morning, and come back tomorrow afternoon!" Yang Ruolan ran a strand of hair on her face with her hand, staring at Xu Ziling's eyes with a look of yearning.

"Okay, listen to my wife!" Xu Ziling put his hands on her shoulders and gently pushed forward, "Let's go, I'll ask Lao Gao to see how the weather is." ”

"Hmm."

"Lao Gao, will the weather change in the past two days?" When going to sea, we must pay attention to the climate, because when they travel, it is definitely impossible to drive this warship, and the weather is the key to the ship with a relatively small displacement, otherwise it will be troublesome in case of strong winds or heavy rains, "We plan to go out to sea to fish." ”

"I'll see." Gao Xianxian immediately took out his phone, dialed the phone number of the fleet's meteorological department, said a few words on the phone, and then said to Xu Ziling: "No problem, there has been no wind and waves in the past two days, and it has been sunny." ”

"Then there is a yacht to rent here, we will go to sea now and come back tomorrow."

"Okay, go now, get your tackle ready, the yacht should be bigger." Li Cheng heard Xu Ziling say that he would go to sea immediately, became excited, and added on the side.

"Why do you want to rent it?" Hearing Xu Ziling say that he was going to rent a yacht, Gao Xianxian hurriedly denied his idea, "Jiangnan Shipyard is the fleet, just ask Commander Tang to borrow one from them." ”

"Didn't you say that Jiangnan Factory didn't have this business?" Xu Ziling had an understanding of the Jiangnan factory, but he didn't see that they still had this business, and he was very surprised to hear Gao Xianxian say that they had yachts there.

"Make it for your own use." Gao Xianxian squeezed his eyes at Xu Ziling, "The drainage is large enough, and when it is inconvenient, you can drive to the open sea." ”

Hearing him say this, Xu Ziling, Yang Kaiming, and Li Cheng immediately understood that this thing was used to complete some tasks that were difficult for warships to come forward, just like the soldiers of some countries drove this fishing boat to pretend to be pirates.

"Let's go!" With such a big guy, Xu Ziling and the others couldn't wait, so they hurriedly asked Lao Gao to help contact, and a few of them went to the town next to the military port to prepare some things for travel.

Because of the existence of the fleet and the fact that the civilian port is not far from the military port, the town is not small, full of high-rise buildings, and even more prosperous than many inland counties. A few people walked down the bustling streets, and there was no feeling that this was a town, but rather that they had arrived in a metropolis.

Two girls go to play, snacks are indispensable, clothes must also be changed, after all, they are still wearing clothes from the capital, fishing tackle is not needed, Lao Gao said that the yacht was originally prepared, so there is no need for too many things, half an hour, they will purchase complete.

Returning to the port, the yacht contacted by Lao Gao had already docked at the dock, looking at the big guy with a length of almost eighty meters and a height of more than ten meters, Xu Ziling and a few people understood what Lao Gao meant by the displacement being large enough?

From the outside, the yacht has three floors, Xu Ziling casually estimated, and found that there are at least dozens of rooms on it, which is still a yacht? It's almost the same as a cruise ship, if it is used to transport troops, it is estimated that three or five hundred people should be casual at a time, he thought to himself.

"Surprised, huh?" Looking at the expressions of several people, Lao Gao looked triumphant, "The first time I saw this thing, I think it should be called a cruise ship, not a yacht." ”

“……”

Private yacht, Xu Ziling and Yang Kaiming, Li Cheng or Smith experienced it in the Mediterranean Sea once, when they saw the yacht, they thought it was big enough, but they didn't expect to see a bigger one today, looking at it like this, it is estimated that even if it encounters eight or nine gales, there will be no problem.

"There are no anti-ship missiles in it."

Following Lao Gao to get on the boat, Li Cheng joked with a smile.

"Not really, there are a few movable Vulcan cannons on it." Unexpectedly, Lao Gao replied with a serious face, "The launching unit of the anti-ship missile is not easy to install on this, it is too conspicuous." ”

“……”

Hearing him say this, several people looked blank, Li Yuan was joking, but he really didn't expect that there would be a Vulcan cannon on it, although this thing is not comparable to missiles, but in the short range, it is no problem to deal with speedboats and even small warships.

A yacht, is it necessary to fit this thing? It's no problem to take the escort to the Gulf of Aden to deal with those small groups of pirates.

Yang Ruolan and Liu Xin both saw the yacht for the first time, as soon as they walked to it, they didn't have time to wait for Lao Gao to arrange the room, so they happily walked around together, and Xu Ziling They saw the above, and they knew that this yacht was still a little different from those private yachts: it reduced some enjoyable decoration, sacrificed a lot of comfort, and increased a wider capacity space.

"It's just a troop carrier!"

When he saw that the first floor inside was a hall, Li Cheng smacked his lips.

"You really think it's like a private yacht." Lao Gao said with a smile, "Many times this ship is used for search and rescue missions, or the kind that can't see the light, otherwise you still think that the fleet really has the spare money to get a yacht out?" You must know that the maintenance cost of this thing for a year is hundreds of thousands. ”

Hundreds of thousands are really not much in Xu Ziling's eyes, but in the army, it is indeed not less, you must know that the military expenditure of the country is only hundreds of billions a year, this number seems to be a lot, but it is really not much allocated to each army and subordinate scientific research institutions.

The entire South China Sea Fleet seems to be allocated tens of billions of dollars a year, which also includes the allowances of so many soldiers, as well as the maintenance and later supply of so many ships in the entire fleet, as well as the funds of several subordinate scientific research departments, so that 500,000 yuan is really not a small amount.

"It seems that military spending has increased again this year, and it is biased towards the navy, so your life should be a little better." Xu Ziling thought of what he had heard Yang Haisheng say before, so he mentioned it to Gao Xianxian.

"It's really increased, and it's really biased towards the navy, but whether those are used in scientific research, the main thing is the aircraft carrier project, and we still don't make much difference."

Gao Xianxian also knew this, but when he mentioned this, he didn't look happy, but had a bitter face.
