Chapter 1968: Suspicious Icebreaker!
The beach is really nice, isn't it? ”
"yes, the beaches here are no worse than Hawaii."
"There are many kinds of conch, too,.......
"Chirp! ......”
.....................................................
Ye Xiuwen, Su Xiaoya, Aiya, Jack Twain and others have already vacationed by the sea.
At the foot is the golden sand, the turquoise, clear water not only laps the sand, but also brings a large number of conch shells of various colors.
Aiya and Su Xiaoya are picking up these shells. Ye Xiuwen and Jack Twain, on the other hand, were drinking coconut water and watching the ships coming and going in the distance.
The port of Simon is still quite prosperous, and although the ships traveling back and forth are intermittent, there are often ships passing by.
Ye Xiuwen has been thinking about what Hod said, a medium-sized cargo ship.
"Mr. Black Wolf? What are you thinking? Jack Twain asked, seeing that Ye Xiuwen was absent-minded.
"Yesterday Hold told me that a cargo ship would be filled with groceries and food coming in and out of this port every month. I can't figure out how many people are needed for this ship's daily necessities for a month,......"
"Three hundred, between five hundred. It depends on how far they have ranged.
The farther away you are, the less cargo you will be hitched on. Because the ship has to be loaded with fuel or something.
And closer, there are more people, because he doesn't need so much oil. ”
Before Ye Xiuwen could finish speaking, Jack Twain interrupted Ye Xiuwen's words.
"How do you know so well?" Ye Xiuwen said funny.
"Mr. Black Wolf? Have you forgotten? I have a shipyard. Jack Twain picked up the coconut and greeted Ye Xiuwen.
"Huh!"
Ye Xiuwen smiled dryly, he didn't expect his headache to be solved so easily by Jack Twain.
He hurriedly called the insect and said, "Worm, the matter of the cargo ship, there is no need to check it again." ”
"Why?" The insect is puzzled.
"Because I have a shipyard captain here, and he knows everything about freighters. You'd better keep an eye on the Hydra base in Antarctica. Ye Xiuwen said.
"Okay, but there are no suspicious signals yet, I think, that S.H.I.E.L.D. guy, I'm afraid GG." The bug guessed.
"Perhaps, and I didn't have much hope for him. We continue our own business. Wait for news from my side. Ye Xiuwen said again.
"Black wolf? I don't understand, why are you fighting against a cargo ship? The bug was still puzzled.
"The reason is very simple, there are so many people in the underground base in Antarctica, and they also have to eat and drink Lazar. So I wondered if this freighter would be the ship of Hydra. And if we can get on the ship, or track the ship, then we can find the location of the Hydra base. Then I'll take someone to investigate, and the rest of the matter will depend on you. ”
"Okay, understood. As soon as you give me the news, my side will start to act. ”
The bug answered, then hung up.
However, at this time, Jack Twain on the side listened to it and suggested: "Mr. Black Wolf? I don't think it's rational to get on the boat. Because there are very few places for cargo ships to hide. And it will take about fifteen days at sea. Such people can't stand it. ”
"Well, you're right, it looks like I'll have to borrow a boat."
Ye Xiuwen thought of this, nodded again and again, got up and prepared to go to find the boat.
However, what I didn't want was that at this moment, it was Holder who came running all the way with a telescope in his hand.
"Mr. Black Wolf? Mr. Black Wolf? The ship you're looking for has come into port. And it's just entered the port, you see. ”
Huo De said breathlessly, and handed the telescope to Ye Xiuwen, and then pointed out to Ye Xiuwen.
Ye Xiuwen looked at Hodder's fingertips, and sure enough, he found a medium-sized freighter. This freighter is very easy to identify, because on his hull, the original ship number has been painted off with white paint.
In a peaceful country, this will definitely be banned from entering the port. However, Sibina had just been founded, and the customs were not perfect, and there was not even a customs agency at all, so the ship entered the harbor in a grand manner.
The people on board were all sturdy, and they skillfully docked the boat at the pier, and there were a few strong men with tattoos, walking towards the interior of the port of the West Gate. And a dozen more people were watching the ship.
Ye Xiuwen continued to observe, but saw that behind the freighter, there were a large number of oil barrels, about more than three hundred.
"Jack Twain, look at those oil drums?" Ye Xiuwen handed the telescope to Jack Twain.
"Where? Which is? "Jack Twain hasn't been found for a while.
"Well, I painted the ship's number with white paint." Ye Xiuwen pointed out again. be
"Oh!"
Jack Twain saw it, looked at the oil drums and said, "Mr. Black Wolf, there is no problem with this ship going to Antarctica." And it was also converted from an icebreaker. ”
"Modified? How do you see this? Ye Xiuwen said incomprehensibly.
"Icebreakers are ,...... compared to other ships"
Jack Twain seemed to be thinking, and said half-loudly: "First of all, its hull structure should be particularly strong, and the hull steel plate is much thicker than that of ordinary ships; The boat is wide and fat, and the upper body is small, which is convenient for opening a wide channel in the ice; The hull is short (the ratio of length to width of a general ship is about seven to one to nine to one, and the icebreaker is four to one), so it is flexible in advancing and retreating and changing directions, and has good maneuverability; The draft is deep, which can break up thicker ice; High horsepower and high speed, so when you rush into the ice, the impact is high.
And its bow is in the shape of a broken line, so that the bottom line of the head is at an angle of 20-35 degrees to the horizontal line, and the bow can "climb" onto the ice; Its bow, stern and belly sides are equipped with large water tanks that serve as icebreaking equipment.
When the icebreaker encounters the ice, it climbs the upturned bow boat onto the ice and crushes the ice with the weight of the bow section.
This weight is very large, generally reaching about 1000 tons, and the not very strong ice will give way immediately under the pressure of the icebreaker.
If the ice is stronger, the icebreaker will often have to retreat some distance and then rush at full speed, and if it doesn't work once, it will rush repeatedly to break through the ice. When encountering a very thick layer of ice, the icebreaker will start a pump with a lot of horsepower to fill the water tank at the stern, because the center of gravity of the ship will move back, and the bow will naturally be raised. At this point, the hull of the ship is moved forward slightly so that the bow rests on the thick ice, and then the stern tank is emptied, and the bow tank is filled at the same time.
And in this way, the bow of the ship, which was originally very heavy, plus the weight of hundreds of tons of water that was driven into the bow tank, the very thick ice, will also be crushed. In this way, the icebreaker slowly keeps moving forward, carving a waterway in the ice,......"
Jack Twain explained, pointing to the ship. At this time, Ye Xiuwen understood one thing, why this ship had to paint the original ship number. Because this is a converted icebreaker.
In other words, this ship, the suspicion has increased again, and it is very likely to be a cargo ship from the Hydra Antarctic base. Because I have to sail in winter and summer, I modified it to look like this! ......
