268, Chongqing

The sea is like a grassland and a horse for the ship, although the space inside the mothership is large, the space outside is even larger.

When they are not on business, or when they simply want to move, they may jump into the water at any time, sail with the mothership, or circle around, or go out to explore the way.

During the voyage, it will be directly sunk when it encounters the deep sea, which is a long-established order.

Every 500 kilometers or so of the mothership, a person from Liaoning and Guangdong will unfurl the hull on the sea surface and release an early warning aircraft to conduct a comprehensive search of the surrounding sea area within 600 kilometers.

If an island is found within a few hundred kilometers of the surrounding area, the mothership will reduce its speed and search more closely with a helicopter to see if it can find the wild ship's mother.

If a human gathering point is found, a relatively large island is found, and it is also recorded.

Accompanied by four people, Mufeng, Shenzhen, Peace Ark, and Lanzhou, Chongqing quickly became familiar with the environment.

After dinner the next morning, Mu Feng took Chongqing back to her room, let her lie down on the bed, and modernize the hull of the Chongqing.

The ship's mother who signed her own contract is, of course, wholeheartedly, combined with her own characteristics, and uses the best resources to dress her up seriously.

When it comes to equipment selection, it all depends on the needs and there are no restrictions.

The Chongqing belongs to the Linxian-class light cruisers, which are a smaller version of the Leander-class light cruisers.

The standard displacement is 5,270 tons, the full load displacement is 6,715 tons, the total length is 154 meters, the width is 15.54 meters, and the draft is 5 meters.

The total power of the main engine is 64,000 horsepower, and the maximum speed is 32 knots, which is basically the same size and speed as 052C.

The main armament consisted of three twin 6-inch (152 mm) guns and four twin 4-inch (105 mm) anti-aircraft guns.

Two 3-pack 533-mm torpedo tubes, small-caliber anti-aircraft guns are British ancestral Bang Bang guns.

It was a very ordinary, cheap, featureless colonial light cruiser, a far cry from the 10,000-ton fleet light cruiser of Belfast.

The entire design and construction process of the Linxian-class light cruisers was constrained not only by naval treaties, but also by the increasingly depleted funding of the Royal Navy.

In the vast Royal Navy, the Aurora was a very inconspicuous warship, because compensation for the loss of six patrol boats was handed over to the Chinese government at the time.

But this ordinary, cheap and almost featureless light cruiser became the most powerful warship of the Chinese Navy of that era.

Looking back on the past and looking at the present, Mu Feng's mood is a little complicated.

Today's elite of the Royal Navy has only 6 Type 45 destroyers of 7,000 tons.

Because they are reluctant to use a large phased array radar fixed on all sides, they can only use two small shields, which are installed in a spherical shell to detect different directions and rotate, which is ridiculed as "the top ball".

In the actual construction, due to the financial budget problems, the configuration of the ship was once again light and simple, the design was fully loaded with 8,000 tons, and the actual construction was 7,350 tons, and the tonnage was really reduced for the first time.

But even so, the strength of the British Navy is still the first in Europe.

And China's 052C, 052D, and 055 have been potted one after another, and the next time Chongqing is named again, as a municipality directly under the central government, she is likely to be a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

Mu Feng looked at Chongqing's hull in the system and began to think about how to improve it.

The hull of warships in World War II is different from modern Chinese warships, and the key is that there is almost no inheritance relationship, so it cannot be directly upgraded to 055 through hull remodeling like 052C/D.

It would be very difficult and cumbersome to upgrade their hulls, and they would only have time to do so until all the important scientific research projects they had in hand had been completed.

For their transformation, unlike the first transformation in Shenzhen at that time, Shenzhen had to wait for the reshaping of the hull, so the previous transformation of the independent hull was only a phased transformation.

Chongqing is basically a renovation and finalization, and then it will be a small-scale repair.

So this first transformation is a very thorough and comprehensive transformation.

The entire upper deck of the Chongqing will be completely dismantled, and there will be almost nothing left of the entire hull.

For real warships on the earth, considering factors such as hull design, service life, and renovation costs, it is almost impossible to carry out this kind of rebirth level transformation of old ships.

The time of the ship is completely different, the hull of the ship is completely new, and it is not a completely real material existence, which can be adjusted as a whole, which gives the old ship a chance to regain its life.

That's why there was such a massive and thorough modernization.

The size of the Chongqing is basically the same as that of the 052C/D, and the full set of equipment of the 052D can be taken over and then modified to a certain extent.

The main gun uses the twin 155 mm electromagnetic guns common to its own destroyers, and two twin 76 mm electromagnetic guns are added as secondary anti-aircraft guns.

Then a 1130 close defense system and a 24-pack Haihongqi-10 missile launcher were installed.

The power system applies an integrated power system, and four sets of 40,000 kilowatt gas turbine power generation modules are installed, with a total power of 160,000 kilowatts, equivalent to 217,600 horsepower, and an estimated maximum speed of 42 knots.

This time, four sets of power generation modules were used, which took up some more space than the two sets of the previous 052D transformation.

In addition, there is no shortage of missile launch platforms now, so the number of vertical launch units in Chongqing is 64, and there is no pursuit of the limit to forcibly plug 96.

The sonar, torpedo, and radar systems are copied from the 052D, and after the bridge is rebuilt, 4 phased array radars are installed, and the carrier-based helicopter uses the general-purpose Z-20.

Finally, regarding the hull line repair and shape upgrade, Mu Feng established a scientific research task and consumed his own scientific research points to complete directly.

By systematically checking the entire transformation plan to ensure that there are no problems, Mufeng clicked to confirm, 6,000 units of resources were consumed, and Chongqing entered a dormant transformation state.

An hour later, Chongqing, who had completed the transformation, got up from the bed, stood in front of the bed and opened the ship's uniform, carefully checked the whole body, and then said with a somewhat blank expression:

"Commander...... I...... I'm very comfortable, relaxed, and flexible, but most of the equipment on my body has never been used, and I don't know how to use it......"

Mu Feng smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to use it, everyone will teach you, you should be able to communicate directly with others now, through our common data link." ”

Chongqing was stunned for a moment, and then immediately found that someone was greeting him on the data link, and immediately exclaimed in surprise:

"Everybody can just talk like that! You can also transfer file data, no need to use a simple radio, which is really convenient! ”

Mu Feng smiled and nodded, and went to the sea trial with an excited and curious look in Chongqing, and asked Lanzhou and Yixian to be teachers on the Chongqing ship to teach Chongqing to use various modern equipment together.

Lanzhou was the ship's mother who went to rescue Chongqing at that time, Chongqing had the best impression of her, and Yixian was the same as Chongqing, upgrading from the traditional hull to all modern equipment, and was the most experienced.
