Chapter 64: Landing Ship No. 3
Li Ming and Song Tao once again thanked the experts of the technical group and affirmed their work. The original tense relationship between the two sides also disappeared and became very affectionate, and everyone talked warmly for a long time before they separated.
When they left the technical group, Song Tao wiped the cold sweat on his head and said: "I will never meet these guys in the technical group again in the future, they are a group of crazy people, just like that, I sat down and got sick." ”
Li Ming glanced at Song Tao and scolded: "What is your attitude, that is also an employee of our company, you say this is to destroy the stability and unity of the company." ”
Song Tao pursed his lips and teased: "How do you learn to be like Wang He and Guo Song, with a mouthful of officialdom." Big brother, you're a soldier, don't make a politician's face, don't make it a few days, I don't even know you anymore. ”
After he finished speaking, he ran away, and chased Li Ming's anger and chased him desperately. The two of them frantically flared around in the company's yard for a long time before they came to the port. At this time, the people who came to support the shipping team and the navy were busy on several cargo ships, making final preparations. There is also a landing ship docked next to it, Li Ming has only seen this model in the picture before, and today he finally saw the real thing.
They and Song Tao excitedly ran onto the landing ship, and happened to see Zhou Cheng of the Navy, who was the captain of the future No. 3 landing ship. Seeing Li Ming and Song Tao, Zhou Cheng also came over with a smile and shook hands with them.
"How? It's a good ship, isn't it? The "Yukang" class (Type 072) large landing ship is 119 meters long, 15.6 meters wide, 2.75 meters draft, 20 knots at maximum speed, 14 knots at cruising speed, 3,000 nautical miles / 14 knots, and self-sustaining for 20 days. It's just that the original weapons have been dismantled, but the weapon base is still there, which is also convenient for us to modify the weapons on the ship in the future. By the way, I'll take you to the cabin, where there are two landing craft. ”
Li Ming and Song Tao also followed Zhou Cheng to the cabin, Zhou Cheng patted the hull of a landing craft, and said with a smile: "These two landing craft are also good, 28.6 meters long, 5.4 meters wide, 1.4 meters draft, up to 12 knots, and 500 nautical miles. See what's inside? ”
After listening to Zhou Cheng's words, the two glanced into the landing craft and immediately became happy. It turned out to be equipped with a Type 75 105 mm vehicle-mounted recoilless gun, which is a good thing, it is said that the infantry regiments of the former field troops were equipped with a company of 6 Type 75 recoilless guns. This guy is so powerful that he can hit seven or eight kilometers with a grenade.
"Are there too many 105-mm shells?"
"That's not much, a few hundred rounds in total, it's better than nothing."
Li Ming shook his head, this kind of 105 mm recoilless cannon shell is very troublesome to make in Vladivostok in another time and space, but a few hundred rounds of two cannons is almost enough. Li Ming remembered Wang He's words, so he asked again: "It is said that there is still a batch of firearms, where is it now?" ”
Zhou Cheng said with a smile: "How can you give it to us immediately, after we go to sea, they will give us some old weapons at sea, and the number is only one hundred and ten, and we are not interested, but with the kindness of others, we can't do without it." ”
Li Ming and Song Tao shook their heads and smiled bitterly, if they knew that the Far East Company had gotten so much Russian-style equipment, they wouldn't know what to think. They stayed on the landing ship for a while, then went to look at a couple of freighters next to them.
This time, the company's fleet includes two 19,800-ton international CCS bulk carriers, one 12,000-ton container ship loaded with more than 700 containers, one product tanker with a deadweight of 13,900 tons, plus this 3,376-ton "Yukang" class (Type 072) large landing ship. They will rendezvous with a bulk cargo ship carrying 50,000 tons of cement raw meal and an icebreaker of more than 4,000 tons bought from Finland in a sea area near the Sea of Japan, and then open a wormhole into another time and space.
Li Ming is still under a lot of pressure in his heart for so many big guys to pass through the wormhole, and how long the wormhole can be stored is still unknown. Once something happens, if the wormhole suddenly disappears, the consequences will be severe. But at this time, he can't help it, so he can only bite the bullet.
A few days later, the headquarters of Linhai Company was ready, all the personnel had boarded the ship, and only Li Ming and Wang He were left on the dock, and Wang He was using walkie-talkies to make the last contact with the ships.
Wang He put down the walkie-talkie, turned his head to Li Ming and smiled: "Let's get on the boat too, everyone can't wait." ”
Li Ming looked back at the empty company, and said with a smile: "Our company is empty now, so there won't be any problems in a short time." ”
"We hired dozens of security guards at a security company in Linhai to guard the place for us for three months. As for the reason for our departure, we have already greeted the Linhai Municipal Government, saying that the company's employees have worked very hard in recent months, and in order to mobilize the enthusiasm of employees, the company organized a trip abroad for a month. ”
Li Ming and Song Tao were happy to listen to Wang He's words, and Song Tao said with a smile: "We did go on a trip, but this time we traveled through time and space, and the destination was the Ming Dynasty in 1628, and we will never come back." ”
Everyone laughed and boarded the No. 3 landing ship, and this time the company followed the employees of the fleet, except for the staff of each ship, the rest of them all left Linhai on the No. 3 landing ship. Originally, they wanted to send a group of specialists from the technical group to Vladivostok by plane. But these guys don't want to live or die, so they have to take a boat with everyone to get through the wormhole and reach another time and space.
If these guys make up their minds, no one can change them. The king and they had no choice but to let the gang follow them into the boat. When the four huge ships slowly sailed out of the harbor, the No. 3 landing ship also followed these big guys and slowly sailed towards the sea.
The people on the boat were lying on the guardrail next to the boat, everyone didn't speak, just quietly looked at Linhai City, which was getting farther and farther away from them, the atmosphere at this time was a little depressing, and everyone's mood was very heavy. This time I left, maybe I said goodbye to modern society. The next time I come back here may be a few years later, and this place has become the Ming Dynasty of another time and space.
After a few days on the open sea, the fleet arrived in the Sea of Japan, where the global positioning system on the landing ship showed that they had reached the predetermined area, where they met with two other ships.
The fleet began to slow down, and after a while, the two ships that met them came with the information that they were about to rush to the predetermined sea area, at this time, it was late at night, the sea was calm, and a huge ship slowly revealed a huge figure from the night in the distance, it was the bulk carrier that drove out of Vladivostok, and the ship was loaded with more than 50,000 tons of cement raw meal.
Then came the icebreaker bought from Finland, with a full load displacement of 4,580 tons, a total length of 85.7 meters, a width of 21.7 meters, a draft of 7.3 meters, a crew of 45 people, a diesel-electric power of 12,000 horsepower, a speed of 17 knots, and a cruising range of 7,000 nautical miles / 17 knots. The old ship was launched in 1976, but it was replaced with a new diesel engine, and the whole ship was completely refurbished and maintained.
At this time, the voice of Zhou Cheng, the captain of the No. 3 landing ship, came from the communication devices of each ship: "Attention all ships, all ships pay attention, no passing ships have been found in the surrounding waters, all ships are ready, the crossing operation is about to begin, all ships are ready, the crossing operation is about to begin." ”
At this time, Li Ming had already been hoisted to the surface of the sea with a lifeboat of the landing ship, and several naval personnel drove the lifeboat to an open sea area in front of the convoy and stopped. Because the people who crossed the wormhole this time were all big guys, Li Ming stipulated that all the personnel must wear life jackets and wait patiently in their respective cabins.
However, a group of intellectuals and technical nerds from the technical department, regardless of that, all stood on the No. 3 landing ship, wanting to see with their own eyes the grand occasion of the fleet passing through the wormhole, which made Song Tao and Zhou Cheng anxious, Zhou Cheng still had to drive the landing ship, Song Tao had to personally persuade the experts of the technical group.
"Everyone, okay, don't be embarrassed for me. They all go back to their respective cabins and wait, and when they pass through the wormhole for a while, they may be in danger. Let's go back to the cabin and wait patiently, it may be dangerous for a while......"
But a group of people in the technical group didn't pay attention to Song Tao at all, and let Song Tao wear out his mouth bitterly, but they just ignored the stubble, and grabbed the fence next to the boat excitedly, with a solemn expression, and their eyes were full of a kind of fanatical love.
Li Ming walked to the bow of the lifeboat, took out the wormhole and opened the space light door. As Li Ming continued to pull, the wormhole space slowly turned into a huge light gate with a diameter of several tens of meters. The experts of the technical group on the landing ship in the distance, they finally saw the wormhole light door as they wished, everyone's eyes were full of confusion, their hands were tightly gripping the fence, and some even left tears of excitement.
They have all walks of life, they are engaged in scientific research and technology work for many years, for things beyond science and technology, if you change to before, you will definitely argue with you for three days and three nights, full of all kinds of numbers, theories, formulas, anyway, with scientific proof of things, in their eyes, that is deviant.
But today, the huge light gate in the distance gave them an incomparably powerful shock, and they were all excited. In the distance, huge ships slowly sailed over. The first to enter the light gate was the giant bulk carrier loaded with cement raw meal, the huge body of the cargo ship slowly drove into the light gate, and the four giant ships behind also began to enter in turn. This was followed by the icebreaker, and finally the landing ship No. 3.
