Chapter 385: No Way

In a warehouse in the port of Nassau, a high-pressure boiler sits quietly among a pile of debris. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info And next to the boiler are a large number of fittings, and a couple of rusty oil tanks with kerosene in them.

An engineer from the Newport News shipyard was puzzled after inspection, "These tanks seem to have been here for decades, not like they have only been shipped for a long time." The kerosene in the tank has a lot of residue and is of poor quality, but it can be used to spray coal to increase the combustion value.

And the boiler is even more amazing, although it looks old, there is still some fresh circulating water in the boiler, as if it has just been repaired. All components are lubricated and in good working order.

Oh......, speaking of lubrication. I also found a lot of lubricating butter in the boiler, and the packaging was also old goods that had been stored for decades, but it basically worked, but it didn't look good. It's amazing to say that the stuff here is exactly what we need right now, and it solves all our problems perfectly! ”

It's really amazing, this meeting made a bunch of engineers who came to check the situation stunned, and everyone was thinking: why is it so coincidental? We want everything here, and it's like God has blessed us!

"Hahaha...... it's just a coincidence, I found it just casually. If it works, ship it away. Zhou Qingfeng swaggered out of the warehouse, with a relaxed pace.

Dr. Rezzo didn't have time to delve into the reason, and now that the battleship assembly was in a hurry, he hurriedly brought in cranes and trailers to transport all the equipment here to the ship repair yard. Until a stable supply of fuel is available, ship repair yards are the only units that can use internal combustion engine vehicles at will.

And after Zhou Qingfeng got the matter of the high-pressure boiler, he asked Lina on the radio. Fox reported the incident. The understatement of 'done' made the little fox laugh like stealing a chicken.

However, this boiler incident reminded Zhou Qingfeng that he could get more than just some old clothes from the real world, he could get some waste industrial products.

There were too few skilled workers at the Nassau shipyard and the industrial equipment was not complete, so it might be okay to do some tinkering, but if you really want to mass-produce some kind of equipment, you are afraid that you will constantly encounter things like not being able to weld high-pressure boilers.

And which machine repair factory Zhou Qingfeng just visited in reality, there are a lot of rusty equipment and materials in it that no one wants, and if you get it to the wasteland, it can come in handy. You know, there's so much missing in the wasteland. Sometimes the technology doesn't need to be too advanced.

The work of adjusting the boiler, re-testing, and finally outfitting is also going on day and night. This situation has not been publicized, as '007' Mr. Wade is a worker who operates the rolling mill, and he doesn't know at all, let alone inform the 'Enclave' of the follow-up situation.

However, as the current controller of the waters of Cuba and the Bahamas, Mr. George, the military adviser, does not want to see the possibility of the 'Aurora Legion' warships continuing to improve and launch. Although he is arrogant, he also knows that he cannot let his opponent continue to develop.

Now that the opponent's boiler is in trouble, it is necessary to take this opportunity to completely shatter the opponent's dream of conquering the seas - the best way to destroy the ship repair yard of the 'Aurora Army' in Nassau is the best way.

"Let's go, let's go to Nassau, and teach the yellow-skinned monkey a lesson. Let him know that the sea does not belong to the inferior yellow race, but only to our noble whites. "George mustered eight armed speedboats before the war, and this fleet, which together is less than 1,000 tons, is the current king of the Caribbean.

However, before leaving, George's fleet was not without trouble, "It takes more than a thousand nautical miles to and from Nassau, and we need to prepare some diesel." ”

Armed speedboats were originally used for offshore patrols, and their range was limited and they could not travel too far. For them, the journey from Havana to Nassau was an expedition that required hundreds of tons of diesel fuel to fill the tanks of George's fleet.

In the case of the limited capacity of the Havana refinery, the use of hundreds of tons of diesel requires the consent of many people. And the information in it was soon spread to Lina who was sitting in Matanzas. Fox ears.

"Miss Fawkes, a smuggler named Koma has sent us a message that the entire George fleet in Havana is on its way. Not only did they fill the tank, but they also came with a lot of oil drums. The assistant reported.

"There were a lot of oil drums with all the dispatches?" Lena. Fawkes frowned. The attack on Matanzas from Havana was not far away and did not require additional fuel, suggesting that George's fleet was definitely going further afield. "Inform Nassau that the small fleet of the 'Enclave' must be headed in their direction."

"Running a distance of 500 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 24 knots, which takes about a day." Zhou Qingfeng, who got the news in Nassau, only glanced at the map to know when the enemy would arrive.

According to Dr. Rezzo's report, even with the right high-pressure boiler, it would take two days to complete the entire ship's modification and testing. That is, at least two days before the steam battleship can be driven out to scare people, and the actual combat effectiveness is still in doubt.

"The enemy must not be allowed to approach the Nassau shipyard for these two days." All Zhou Qingfeng can do is try his best to stop it.

Do you want to dispatch the AC-130U? This kind of killer weapon is easy to use, but this killer tool is an authentic oil tiger, and after using it, Nassau's oil depot will cry. It's better not to use this thing until you have to.

Suicide drones sorties? It turns out that unless it is a surprise, a slow-moving drone can easily be shot down by a machine gun. Doing so will only waste valuable drones.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Qingfeng didn't have a good idea, so in the end he could only come up with a way that was not a way -- to install rapid-fire guns and 'Javelin' missiles on a dozen small steamers, and arrange them as floating batteries near the port of Nassau and the shipyard to prevent the enemy from approaching his vital points.

"Floating turrets? Is this thing useful? "Katerina is in Nassau and is in charge of training the army and the police together with Minsk. When she heard that an enemy was coming, she naturally wanted to come to Zhou Qingfeng to discuss.

"Our little steamer was not fast and unarmoured, so we had to drop anchor near the harbor and wait for our opponents to come to the door. The only way to do that is to equip it with a little better weaponry. We can't beat it, we can't run away, so we have to hold it. ”

This passive defense is completely inflexible, and it is purely a posture waiting to be beaten. But even so, Caterina had to remind Zhou Qingfeng: "We don't have a lot of 'Javelin' missiles in stock from New York, so let's save some fights." ”

Alas, ......, if you don't know the price of firewood and rice, Zhou Qingfeng, as the commander of the corps, has to find ways to maintain this group, which is really hard! Now, ......, the enemy won't be so stupid and directly collide with Lao Tzu's circle of fire, right? (To be continued.) )
