Chapter 53 Prospectors and Nuclear-Powered Warships

On the 7th, after Lu Chen got up, he simply prepared some lean meat, cooked a pot of porridge, and after eating, gave the excess to the dog to eat.

Looking at the dog's head buried in the bowl, thinking about eating porridge with a side dish, don't be too cool, thinking of the pickles he had pickled before, Lu Chen was about to move,

After considering their own technical strength, they are ready to pickle a batch of pickles first.

I found a dozen cabbages, washed them with water, and began to knead them with coarse salt.

After kneading evenly, Lu Chen put the pot of cabbage aside, if there is a sun, it can be placed under the sun to dry, but now the conditions do not allow it, so it can only be dried like this

Wait until tomorrow, pour out the pickled water, knead it with coarse salt, wait until the third day and then you can put it in the jar, add water to cover the cabbage, seal it for 15 days and you can eat,

remembered the pickles brought by an aunt when I used to go to work, and I couldn't help but drool,

After wiping his saliva, Lu Chen was ready to continue his research, this time to study the prospecting equipment

After searching for information, Lu Chen understood the working principle of the prospecting instrument, compared the working environment in the deep sea, and made some modifications to the prospecting instrument to adapt to the seabed environment.

However, Lu Chen first made a batch of prospecting equipment and transported it to the No. 1 shelter, because Lu Chen learned that there is still this titanium ore on the Annan side, and the performance of titanium alloy is still very good, as the shell of a deep-sea mining robot, it can well resist the pressure of the seabed and the corrosion of seawater.

And after shelter No. 1 received this batch of prospecting equipment, 10 robots were divided and set off with prospecting instruments.

And just when Lu Chen was looking for titanium ore, the Dragon Kingdom Ship Research Institute's recent transformation of warships also achieved results

As mentioned above, at the beginning of the cold winter, the Dragon Kingdom said that all warships returned to Hong Kong for nuclear transformation, except for small frigates, such as some large 052D destroyers, integrated supply ships and other warships have been transformed with nuclear power.

Now there is already an integrated supply ship, two landing ships, and a large drive has been renovated and officially handed over to the navy.

The Aviation Research Institute also used the high-energy batteries provided by Lu Chen to build a batch of electric helicopters for use by these search ships.

Because of the nuclear power used, it can be charged directly on the ship, which can save a lot of space to carry fuel and carry more living or war materials.

Moreover, using the special winding method of the electromagnetic gun provided by Lu Chen as a reference, a shipborne electromagnetic gun was designed, with a theoretical range of 2,000 kilometers and a firing interval of 5 seconds.

Therefore, when there is a breakthrough in energy and materials, it is the time of science and technology, for example, if there is a breakthrough in room temperature superconductivity technology, large-scale industrial production can be carried out.

Then controlled nuclear fusion can be realized, and after controlled nuclear fusion can be realized, with its high temperature of 100 million degrees, many new materials can be smelted.

So this time, because of the high-performance batteries provided by Lu Chen, many technologies have entered the era of electrification, which greatly reduces the dependence on oil.

Today's oil is mostly used as a chemical raw material, only a small part is used as fuel, and some shelters are still used as fuel generators.

Because he has a skill, he uses his advantages to exchange materials from the official or others, and he lives a very nourishing life.

For example, Li Zhi, who traded with Lu Chen before, because he has an orchard and plantation, so in the current environment, he used fruits to exchange a lot of materials with others, and his life is very nourishing, and there are many such examples.

In a military port in Hainan, because of the cold weather, the coastal areas have all frozen, so in order to ensure the normal use of the military port, after spending a lot of manpower and material resources, the military has kept a straight line of water around the military port to the depths of the ocean to maintain a state of flow, so that it cannot freeze.

Today, after receiving these warships, the Hainan Military Port transported a large number of construction materials and daily necessities.

After everything was loaded, the warships, led by icebreakers, sailed to their own islands in the middle of the South China Sea archipelago.

As the largest artificial island, Fiery Cross Island has a well-developed infrastructure, so after the transport aircraft can be used, a group of personnel were transported by helicopter to the scene to clear the airport runway, and then multiple batches of transport aircraft were used to transport personnel and materials to the island.

After this period of construction, the original building has been renovated and a large above-ground shelter has been completed.

At the same time, the area where Yongji Reef is located has been basically connected because of the problem of icing, although it is impossible to drive tanks, but ordinary armored vehicles are still okay.

After the analysis of experts, if the temperature continues to drop, then it will definitely be possible to drive the tank in the later stage.

Because the capacity of the transport aircraft is limited, this time in addition to testing the performance of the warship, there is also the task of transporting materials.

At this time, Gao Yun, the captain of the 052 big drive, was watching the mission briefing on the bridge, due to the good handling of the previous evacuation incident, coupled with many years of captain's experience, and his own military industry, Gao Yun was transferred from the original Linyi frigate to the 052 big drive Nanchang ship as the captain.

After reading the mission briefing, Gao Yun ordered the fleet to move forward at full speed and reach Fiery Cross Island as soon as possible.

When the fleet arrived on Fiery Cross Island, it had to wait for the icebreakers to break the ice floe around the port because of the freezing sea.

After the warship docked at the port, all the personnel except the personnel stationed on the warship immediately classified the materials, and then began to carry out a deep transformation of the shelter here, striving to build a permanent fortress, and the later transportation of materials will be carried out by transport aircraft.

These warships are about to go on long-distance tests and probe the specific situation in other parts of the world, and they have also prepared a lot of communicators to be handed over to intelligence officers who remain in other countries.

A day later, the warship continued to set sail and sailed into the depths of the ocean, Gao Yun stood on the ship, looked at the dock that was gradually moving away, took a deep breath, turned around and walked into the bridge, this time, he couldn't come back for half a year.

At the Hainan military airport, the transport planes that were transferring to the airport were fully charged and ready to take off at any time, and after the ground crew checked that there were no problems, 10 transport planes flew into the air and headed for Fiery Cross Island.

And Lu Chen's side, after a few days of searching, also found an ilmenite near the iron ore area, Lu Chen noticed that the original iron ore is not only said to only produce iron, but also has many associated ores, but because of the high specific gravity of iron, so people who don't know think that iron ore is iron element,

Because of the existence of associated ores, Lu Chen was able to find ilmenite not far from the iron ore area.

After the modification of the mining and smelting equipment, the modification plan was sent to the simple intelligent program in Shelter 1, which asked it to remanufacture the smelting equipment according to the modified plan, and to build a mining equipment in the ilmenite area.

Then Lu Chen let Zero calculate, and found that after adding a set of equipment, the metal resources that could be transported back to Shelter 0 every day had 2 tons of iron ingots, and about 1 ton of titanium could be extracted from five tons of titanium ore.

In addition, there is currently only one unmanned transport aircraft, so metal resources are generally transported once every two days.

After Lu Chen was busy with all this, he came to the kitchen, found a glass jar of pickles that had been pickled and put them in, then poured water, sealed them after passing the cabbage, put them in a cool place, and waited for half a month to open them and taste them.

——

On the high seas, Gao Yun took the fleet to a sea area, found a small island, set up a target on the island, drove the fleet out of the line of sight, and then used the coordinates provided by the target reporter to start shooting experiments.

After the electromagnetic cannon was fired, after a while, the observers saw that the target on the island was directly destroyed.

"200 km away, one hit"

With the report of the target reporter, everyone sighed that this electromagnetic cannon not only hit far, but also hit accurately.

Then Gao Yun found another island and reef on the map, and after marking several islands and reefs, the fleet drove a distance of 400 kilometers and began to experiment with the ultimate range.

In the sound of explosions, the island and reef were completely destroyed, and the fleet also got the data it wanted, and after sending it to the naval headquarters, Gao Yun led the fleet to continue sea trials.
