Sending Fu Nianzu away, Bai Fei returned to the station, found a secluded place, locked himself in the room, turned on the system, and began to check it carefully.

It turned out that he only wanted to exchange the entire warship with the system before, and never thought of exchanging something on the warship alone, but now after Fu Nianzu's reminder, he suddenly opened his mouth.

After another 5 hours of checking, Huang Tian lived up to his wishes, and he finally found what he wanted, such as a single engine, radar, etc., although the exchange price is still very expensive, but compared with the entire warship, it is much cheaper. The most important thing is that a single piece of equipment and parts like this can at least be replaced now.

Bai Fei was ecstatic, and he didn't sleep well all night.

Early the next morning, Bai Fei heard that the ship had arrived at Xiuying Port, so he and Wang Weiguo took Fu Nianzu and other technicians to set off for Xiuying Port immediately.

Mei Yuehai and Li Shuyang were busy with other important things and did not accompany them.

Hainan Island is surrounded by the sea, and if it wants foreign trade exchanges, it naturally needs ships. In the past, the shipping industry here was very busy, and there were many supporting facilities, in addition to not having its own shipyard, there were several small docks for repairing ships, and there was just one here in Xiuying Port, Haikou, which could undertake the ship renovation work this time.

When they came to the beach, a large number of brothers from the regiment directly under the regiment, led by Li Hu of the special combat team and Liu Zhen, commander of the first battalion, were already waiting here.

Liu Zhen greeted him and said: "Tuanza, we received news yesterday afternoon, and our brothers and the special combat team were looking for ships in the surrounding waters, but due to the previous Japanese invasion, the big ships on the island were destroyed and escaped, so now according to your requirements, there are only a few ships of more than 1,000 tons that can be found..."

Bai Fei nodded and looked towards the port, only to see that there were only 6 large cargo ships parked on the water surface of the port, all of which were about 100 meters long.

Li Hu said on the side: "Just these big ships were requisitioned from Xu Wen when we crossed the sea. ”

Bai Fei was surprised: "Why haven't they gone back yet?" ”

Li Hu shook his head and said, "I didn't let them go back at that time, I'm afraid that there will be an emergency." No, that's where it comes in handy. ”

Bai Fei smiled: "You kid, you are reasonable." But we used it before, and now we have to use it forever, so let's take people across the sea, go to Xuwen to find their county magistrate, and buy the boat with the owner in my name, we can't let the people suffer." ”

Wang Weiguo interjected: "Let's send a telegram, so it is safer, in recent days, fishermen have reported that there are traces of Japanese ships found in the waters near the sea, and if they meet them at sea, it will be dangerous." ”

Bai Fei nodded and said, "Well, what Brother Wei Guo said is true. Then send a report to the county magistrate Xu Wen first, and talk to them about the price. ”

It is said that although the Japanese troops on Hainan Island were wiped out a few days ago, because the navy of the little devils is developed and there are many ships of all kinds, although they cannot gain a foothold on land, they can come and go freely at sea.

So why did Bai Fei rush to get his own navy? Even if you can't guarantee security near your own island, how can you talk about competing for hegemony in the South China Sea and wielding your power in the South China Sea?

Let's say that while Bai Fei and the others were talking, Fu Nianzu, a ship expert, had already taken dozens of people to board several large ships docked in the port and began to inspect the interior of the ships one by one.

Most of those people, like Fu Nianzu, were Chinese from Nanyang, a few were mechanical experts, and most of the rest were technicians who had worked in shipyards all over Nanyang. As soon as they heard that Bai Fei wanted to renovate ships and form a navy to fight against small Japan, they enthusiastically signed up, hoping to participate in this project and contribute their own strength.

Bai Fei was very touched by this and promised them that if the ship was refitted, they would be invited to make its maiden voyage.

The ship inspection is a meticulous work, Fu Nianzu and others were busy on the ship from morning to more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and even the lunch was sent to the ship by Bai Fei to eat.

After the inspection, Fu Nianzu took a group of people off the ship and said to Bai Fei: "After our investigation and demonstration, one of the six freighters has been rusted because of the long-term operation time, and the bottom class has been rusted and can no longer be refitted, and the remaining five ships initially meet the conditions for refit. Of course, this also needs to look at the specifications and sizes of the new parts and other parameters, only knowing these data, we can carry out the next step of design modification. ”

Bai Fei said: "No problem, I can give you this data tomorrow morning." ”

Fu Nianzu asked again: "I don't know where General Bai plans to rebuild the ship?" ”

Bai Fei groaned and said, "Well, well, first of all, in terms of ship power, I plan to replace it with a more advanced, more powerful, and faster engine." In addition, I would like to equip the ship with several weapons, as well as early warning radars, etc..."

"Radar?" Fu Nianzu was taken aback: "This thing is a new thing, even the Japanese army is probably not equipped with this system now, general, can you buy it?" ”

Originally, the basic concept of radar was formed at the beginning of the 20th century, but it was not until the early 30s that European and American countries successively developed pulse modulation radars for detecting aircraft, and in 36 years, the United States developed a radar covering a distance of 40km for detecting aircraft, and in 38 years, that is, last year, Britain for the first time laid an early warning radar chain for observing enemy aircraft on the coastline near the mainland.

Let's talk about the Japanese. In fact, as early as the development of radar in Europe and the United States, Japan has begun to develop in secret, and there is no shortage of first-class technical experts and electronic engineers in Japan, and soon developed a 10cm wavelength cavity magnetoelectric tube (Britain only succeeded in developing it in 40 years). However, the Japanese military's obsession with the spirit of "bushido", coupled with the disagreement between the army and navy, led to the fact that no one paid attention to this invention at all. It wasn't until 41 that the Japanese learned that Allied ships were equipped with radar warning systems, and they took it seriously.

Bai Fei knew a little about the history of radar, and he said, "I know this!" I just want to add something to the ship that no one else has, otherwise how can our warship, which was converted from a cargo ship, fight against the warship of the small Japanese with 800 long thorns at sea? Don't worry, I have secret channels, not to mention radar, and more advanced things can be bought. ”

Fu Nianzu looked surprised, Bai Fei didn't explain much, and said, "Anyway, you'll see you tomorrow." ”

"Tomorrow?" Fu Nianzu was even more surprised.

Bai Fei didn't explain anything about this.
