1290: C1290 Chrysanthemum Island

C1290 Chrysanthemum Island

A battleship, a few thousand tons of displacement, but... This warship was definitely not made out of a few thousand tons of steel, it included all the equipment on the entire warship. For example, fuel and fresh water, which would take up a large portion of the drainage.

For example, a 100 thousand ton oil wheel, but the real hull only used a few thousand tons of steel. The main reason was that the crude oil transported inside was very heavy.

Now, Qin Guan wanted to obtain tens of thousands of tons of scrap metal. It was also not easy. When he was training in steel, every family in the country had contributed all the scrap metal and even their own pots. What happened in the end? The production in the country was only tens of millions of tons, but there were millions of tons of scrap metal.

Now, Qin Guan wanted tens of thousands of tons of steel at every turn. It was indeed a big problem. When General Zhao heard the amount of steel Qin Guan wanted, he couldn't help but frown.

Too much. What should he do?

The navy was still very young. They had small cannons and so on. It's useless to drag them here, a few hundred tons of cannons are just a drop in the ocean. The biggest one on our side is the four old King Kong. Although they had the four new King Kong ships, the old ones could not be destroyed just like that. After all, they were the biggest warships in the country.

This steel problem was not easy to solve.

One had to know that back then, in During World War II, a country wanted to build a battleship with a drainage of tens of thousands of tons. That was basically the mobilization of the entire country. Once it was built, one needed to use half of the country's steel production at every turn. After all, what they needed were the best steel.

Now, they could not find so much steel. How could they solve it?

"It would be best to get a large warship, one of those abandoned large warships." Seeing General Zhao worried, Qin Guan also followed and discussed. It would be best to get a few large abandoned warships. That would be enough. However, the treasures of the navy... They would definitely not be abandoned.

"What about the shipwreck? Will shipwrecks work?" Suddenly, General Zhao remembered something.

In the sea not far away from them, a hundred years ago... There was a fierce naval battle that broke out. At that time, the strongest navy of the Northern Ocean. Countless warships were buried at the bottom of the ocean. The average depth of the ocean here was dozens of meters. As long as they spent some effort, they would be able to fish it out.

After all, the navy had their own salvage boats.

Those shipwrecks had a history of over a hundred years. They were rusty underwater, as long as it didn't affect the sailing route. No one wanted to salvage them, but now, they needed steel. He just did not know if this steel would work. Generally speaking, they wouldn't even want to tear down the shipyard.

"Okay. Sinking the ship is fine too." Qin Guan also thought of General Zhao's idea and said, "That's a good idea!"

Now, just exchanging for a Nitka System would require tens of thousands of tons of steel. In the future, when he exchanged aircraft carriers and submarine equipment, it also required tens of thousands of tons of steel. This problem was not easy to solve. He couldn't possibly get a brand new steel, right? Utilizing waste was the best.

Now, General Zhao had given him a chance, and that was to salvage the sunken ship!

Qin Guan was standing in front of the window, looking at the stars on the surface of the sea. In that sea, there was once the strongest navy. However, because of the system issues, they lost the war. It was an era that made people speechless.

Without a powerful country, there would not be a strong navy. The navy defended the motherland, and the motherland forged the navy. It was a problem that complemented each other.

"Alright, then we will prepare to salvage immediately." General Zhao said. This was very simple, as long as they found the location of the shipwreck. Then they could use the salvage work to salvage the boat. In the past, he thought that this kind of salvage would not have any benefits and no one would do it. Now that there was a demand, it was very simple for the navy to salvage the boat.

"We still need to confirm the location of this base" General Zhao continued.

Where was the base built?

Navy aircrafts required frequent landing and landing. Furthermore, the Training Base of this aircraft carrier must be kept a secret. It must be quiet nearby, and it would be best if no one came and went.

"It's best to find a nearby island." Qin Guan said. Building a base on an island was always less likely than building it on land.

"Let's go to Chrysanthemum Island then." General Zhao said. He knew a region very well.

Chrysanthemum Island was full of blooming wild chrysanthemums, which was why it was named. It was a beautiful region, but it had not been developed into a tourist attraction.

In the future, this was the Training Base of the Shipboard aircraft Airlines in Han Country. Training in such a beautiful region would obviously give the soldiers a better living environment.

Now that he had transmigrated, of course he could predict the future. For example, he could draw the empty land around the base to the base. He could save the real estate developers from looking at him in the future. They could even build their own houses in the empty spaces around the base. As the base's garrison area, it would naturally be protected.

One should know that this Training Base only trained dozens of pilots. However, the total number of people needed by Staff was probably a few thousand. If they had a free room, it would be easier for them to stay.

In any case, the North Industrial Company did not need to worry about money. He was doing this for the sake of the motherland. Why not?

Qin Guan nodded. "Then let's go to Chrysanthemum Island. After those sunken ships are fished out, we just need to drag them to Chrysanthemum Island."2

"All of these have been resolved. Then we have another problem. Who will fly first?" General Zhao continued.

The rise and fall of the Shipboard aircraft was like an acrobat walking on a tightrope. When the Bear Country came from nothing, it took a lot of effort. Finally, Su -27 changed the shape of the Shipboard aircraft and landed first. The pilot at that time was Sukhoi's chief, Test Pilot.

Such a mission would definitely be done by the most experienced pilot.

Therefore, after hearing General Zhao's words, Qin Guan frowned. "About this, should we choose the best pilot in the navy to train?"

General Zhao smiled bitterly. "I'm afraid not. Our pilots are not experienced enough. It's best to find someone with the most experience to fly."

When it came to experience and fame, there was only one in the whole country.

Qin Guan asked General Zhao, "Are you talking about Chen Rui?"

General Zhao nodded. "Yes, that's him."

What General Zhao meant was that he wanted to ask Chen Ruilai to fly. But... Chen Rui had always been a member of the Air Force, so he was called to fly the Shipboard aircraft. The Air Force would never let him go. Therefore, he thought of letting Qin Guan do his job.

Who was more suitable than Chen Rui? Absolutely not, this was a flying genius!
