"Bang bang"
The muzzle flash shone from the darkness as Sergei, with his straightened curved rifle, struck the left and right shoulder blades of the last target.
Sang Qi fell down with a howl, while the first rays of dawn shone into the elevator platform, which was only seven or eight meters away from him, and fell on his face.
If he jumped into the sea, it would be quite difficult to find him; you could say the Paw Patrol did a great job.
"Woof woof woof"
After confirming that there were no other targets, Big Black licked its nose and prepared to clock out.
I was sleeping peacefully with my wife in our doghouse when I was dragged out of bed in the middle of the night to work overtime. I can't let them cut off my overtime pay.
"Sizzle"
The person distributing wages was on the deck. He opened a bottle of beverage that looked very much like snake grass water and found that it was quite fizzy.
Before the advent of plastic bottled carbonated beverages in the 1990s, they were mostly bottled in glass bottles. The first thing Xia Yu did after getting his hands on the São Paulo was to print out a bottle of Sprite from 1982.
After all, this ship entered service in 1963, older than his father. The 1982 Lafite was not found on the list, but the 1982 carbonated drinks could be printed as many as he wanted.
I took a big gulp, and the taste was very different from what I have now.
Of course it's different. The ingredient list provides sweetness with pure white sugar, but it doesn't contain fructose or acesulfame potassium.
Xia Yu finished the drink in a few gulps, and the glass bottle was directly recycled and decomposed.
I continued scrolling through the printed list, which mainly included three types of mineral water: small bottles of Evian, and 1.5-liter bottles of Cristaline and Volvic.
He had heard of Evian in China, and the other two should be the Chinese versions of Nongfu Spring.
As for which one to choose, the cheapest and most plentiful one is obviously the better one.
Xia Yu selected 2000 bottles for a box of six, and then chose to remove the label paper and film for printing.
Within minutes, the polyethylene terephthalate (PET bottle body), polypropylene (PP bottle cap), pure water, and some mineral components in the storage warehouse began to be consumed rapidly.
By the time Sergei and his men carried the only survivor up the mountain, 18 tons of 1999-year-old mineral water had been produced.
With the drinking water problem finally solved, there are no longer any worries about entering desert areas for combat, mining operations, or fire defense.
"Boss, this is their leader. His men covered his retreat all the way. If it weren't for Big Black, he would have jumped into the sea and escaped."
Sergei grabbed Sanchi by the hair and lifted his head up, then briefly described the course of the battle to Xia Yu.
He seems to be a big shot who's willing to spend money, but he chose the wrong direction for his business. The better he does, the faster he dies.
If he had only been involved in shady dealings, he wouldn't have become a pirate and lost his life.
“This is his gun; we’ve never seen this kind of pistol before.”
Nikolai, who was standing to the side, pulled out a pistol and said.
Xia Yu didn't recognize the gun either, but it looked a lot like a Beretta 92F, although the barrel wasn't exposed. Paul glanced at it twice and vaguely remembered it.
"It looks like Nanfei's Victor SP1, a standard-issue piece of equipment that is basically not sold to private individuals. This kid has someone's dead on his hands."
It's normal for pirates to kill people; in ancient times, bandits would treat their victims to noodles and wontons!
However, for such a cunning creature, offering him wontons might actually be enough to make him escape; you'd have to carefully chop the meat into a sauce, add some starch, and make it into cuttlefish balls.
Just kidding, Xia Yu isn't some kind of demon.
"Give him some serious training, make him confess everything he needs to, and then have the glider take you on a field mission when we get back."
If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze.
The pirate hideouts must be destroyed, the proceeds of crime must be confiscated, and justice on the west coast of Afica must be served.
"Yes, boss!"
Sang Qi was dragged away by several men again. Soon he would regret not shooting himself sooner.
"Calling Begonia Rabbit, this is Weasel. How are things on your end?"
Xia Yu called Liv to inquire about the condition of the wounded on the Proust.
"Haitang Rabbit received it. The three who were lightly injured only took a few shots with the butts of a gun and need a few stitches. The one who was shot is a bit more complicated. I just finished cleaning his wound and gave him 500cc of blood plasma."
Liv replied quickly.
"If it's just a simple cut, the nerve can be sutured while the wound is being cleaned. But if it's a gunshot wound with a fracture, then a second stage of treatment is required before suturing can be done."
The weasel K1 had a microscope and the conditions for suturing, and thanks to Afica's abundant practice opportunities, Liv performed double-digit microsurgical nerve suturing before even graduating.
"That's settled then. They're unlikely to stay in Kongluga for two or three months. The surgery will have to be done back home. We just need to handle the preliminary work."
Seafarers have insurance, and as long as the injuries are controlled, the injured will return to their home country for surgery, so they really don't need to worry about it.
"Yes, boss!"
After ending his communication with Liv, Xia Yu contacted Anton and asked him to inform the captain that the pirate crisis was over and the final leg of the voyage could resume.
Direction: Kong Luga, speed: 8.5 knots, propulsion!
They should be able to arrive around the afternoon, so there's no need for them to fly back.
Xia Yu can use this time to do some initial preparations for the St. Paul.
This aircraft carrier was decommissioned from the French Navy in 2000 and entered service with the Pasir Ris Navy in 2012 for its last voyage. It sailed for 206 days, covering more than 50,000 nautical miles, and launched 566 aircraft in one Chinese zodiac cycle.
The data is even worse than that of the Indian ship Vikramaditya. It's either in the dock or on its way to the dock, and it can't form any combat capability at all.
Xia Yu felt that his operation of the St. Paul ship, with 566 flights, would probably only generate a year's revenue.
[Project: porta-aviesnaesopauloa12 (porta-avionsfranaisferdinandfochr99)]
Completeness: 73.1% (Ready for repair)
Even without placing the São Paulo into its subspace berth, you can still perform maintenance by reopening the system.
That's convenient, since such a large ship would be very troublesome to retrieve and release in modern society where satellites fill the sky.
The only requirement is that someone else has to be on top.
That's nothing. It's just staying on the ship for a while. It will be ready in a month. More importantly, he doesn't need to bring it to the level of being brand new or at its most combat-ready after mid-term modifications.
Xia Yu chose the BS5 steam catapult manufactured by the British Brown Company, which was completely destroyed, the set of three heavy oil boilers that were completely aged and had even exploded, and the set of Parsons geared steam turbines connected to them (along with the generator auxiliary equipment).
"Get ready!"
Click "Start," and a progress bar will pop up.
[Estimated remaining man-hours for preparation: 308.5]
If you stay there for 24 hours a day, it will take less than two weeks to restore it to brand new condition.
The other catapult and power system, which is in relatively good condition, should be restored to 80% new condition within 100 working hours.
However, it will have to wait until it returns from Germany. After the structures and equipment that need to be removed are dismantled, the São Paulo will be towed to Germany for renovations to houses hotels and restaurants.
When it comes to luxurious decorations, you have to look to old Europe, and old Europe is all about Germany (as well as England and Italy).
Xia Yu, who only understood the aesthetics of violence and weapon design, thought that professional matters should be left to professionals, so he contacted Philippe Starck, a design master from Germany.
This person has an impressive resume, having designed the Paramount Hotel in New York, Steve Jobs' Venus yacht, and various artistic home decorations, which perfectly matches Xia Yu's requirements for a designer.
So he asked the other party if they were interested in giving an aircraft carrier a new lease on life, and the other party immediately replied that they were.
The ship's hull must first undergo a harmless treatment process, removing asbestos, waste oil, lead, mercury, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
The current design industry trend is inseparable from environmental protection. No matter how well a toxic ship is designed, it will not have any customers.
What a coincidence! Xia Yu was actually planning to hype up this topic!
We will invite testing agencies to board the ship for testing, and it will be absolutely non-toxic and harmless.
However, it's still too early. The company is only preparing to launch its first round of marketing, so we can take it slow.
"Boss, he's confessed everything. His hideout is in a fishing port less than 30 nautical miles from here."
As time passed, the wailing from not far away gradually subsided, and Sergei rushed over to report.
Without professional training, most people can't withstand torture and, after confessing what they need to confess, just want a quick death.
Sanchi always considered himself a tough guy, but he couldn't even last ten minutes.
"I still have more than half of the fuel left in my helicopter at 30 nautical miles. Why don't I just go there and take care of this, so I don't have to make another trip?"
"Yes, boss!"
Sergei accepted the order.
He called to Nikolai and his men, who had just finished bagging and collecting the bodies, and together they ran towards the Mi-24V.
The intensity of that battle was just a warm-up for Group 1. Let's make another trip to help the boss out of his gas expenses!
After all, Sanchi confessed that he still had about $500,000 left, and with the loot distributed to his men, it would amount to more than $800,000.
This price is enough to hire Jihuo Defense to make a trip, not to mention that it could completely wipe out this group of pirates.
"Splash splash"
After watching the marsupial glider launch the doe and lead the group into the air, Xia Yu suddenly remembered that his new helicopter hadn't been printed yet!
[Carrier-based fighter jet: Voughtf-8 Crusadere (FN) variant (printable)]
[Carrier-based fixed-wing anti-submarine aircraft: bréguet 1050 (printable)]
…………
Opening the list of carrier-based aircraft, the first page is full of very old planes, the original Crusader and Tradewind, as well as various later modifications.
Including the single-seat Etendard IV and Super Etendard, since they can't carry tourists into the air, they can only be used for air shows. It would be good to print one or two when we have time.
It's interesting that they were able to print a prototype of the shipborne version of the Jaguar M. The Japanese had already completed the shipboard testing of the Jaguar M and found that its performance was much better than the Super Étendard, but the project was canceled due to lack of funds.
Xia Yu figured that if he acquired two two-seater Jaguars and reinforced their airframes, they should be able to take off via catapult.
He made a mental note of this, flipped through several pages, and finally came to the helicopter section.
[Shipborne Light Multipurpose Helicopter: SA.365M (Printable)]
[Shipborne Medium Multipurpose Helicopter: SA.321 (Printable)]
The light helicopter in the first column should be called AS.565 Black Panther, rather than Dolphin Mod.
Its cockpit can accommodate 10 people, making one of them equivalent to three Gazelles. However, Xia Yu was thinking that instead of equipping it with one Black Panther and one Super Hornet, it would be better to just get two Super Hornets, which would be more convenient to operate.
As for the European version of the Black Hawk NH-90 utility helicopter (which has a shipborne version), the first one was only produced and tested in 1995 and never landed on the former Foch. Therefore, it cannot be printed.
If it can't be done, then it can't be done. This European hybrid eagle seems to have a lot of problems. Xia Yu might as well use a more experienced old guy.
Select quantity 2 and condition 8 directly after sa.321 and add it to the print sequence.
As for the H225M Caracal that the Navy provided to Bashi, let's get one too. Even if we can't take it out, we can still collect it. Plus, we can disassemble it for parts to upgrade the Super Hornet.
People always mocked Russia for using airplanes like clockwork shops, but back then, which airplane wasn't a clockwork shop? You could just upgrade it by spending money.
With three helicopters queuing up to print, the system's remaining working hours suddenly surged to over 600.
Goodness, Xia Yu will be staying on the ship for almost a whole month.
Actually, it's not too bad. Anyway, the equipment they're going to for Maritime is scheduled to be shipped by sea. They can just use a crane to lift it onto the aircraft carrier, and then use a tugboat to tow it away. This way, they can save on shipping costs.
If you don't know how to calculate and control costs in business, you'll probably lose a fortune, let alone make a profit.
"I'll go down and take a look. You all stay up here."
Xia Yu greeted Paul and Lyman.
Two tigers cannot share one mountain. Although we are unlikely to encounter a second group of pirates, it is still necessary to be vigilant.
"Yes, boss!"
Xia Yu pulled out a tactical flashlight from the pouch hanging on his chest and stepped inside the aircraft carrier for the first time.
This medium-sized aircraft carrier has a full-load displacement of just over 30,000 tons, with 15 decks and a total staff of 1,821, more than the number of people in his hometown's production brigade.
The fact that nearly 2,000 people worked together to operate such a war machine is truly awe-inspiring.
Those two sets of heavy oil steam turbines alone take 10 hours to start up, which is much more difficult than starting a tank or taking off a fighter jet.
Paying salaries to so many people, providing skills training, equipping them with carrier-based aircraft and self-defense weapons, and forming combat capability—the money spent over a few years could probably buy another aircraft carrier.
Such an investment is beyond the reach of even the world's richest man; only wealthy nations can afford it. Since the BRICS era, Basil has completely fallen behind, and retiring from this money-losing venture is undoubtedly the right choice.
Xia Yu is different; he wants it to generate money, a lot of money.
"Tap tap"
A lonely footstep echoed in the dimly lit cabin. Xia Yu gently stroked the cabin wall with his right hand. Behind the thin steel plate was a hidden electrical system, and the insulating oil inside was the highly toxic and carcinogenic polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
He removed the polychlorinated biphenyls from the main lines, repaired the aging insulation layer, and replaced the insulating oil. For the unused branch lines, he removed the copper strip along with the insulation.
And so it went, 1 ton, 2 tons... 10 tons, 20 tons...
After walking nearly 10,000 steps, Xia Yu collected a total of 25 tons of polychlorinated biphenyls, which is quite efficient.
The ship used approximately 200 tons of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and after a large-scale cleanup of asbestos, only about 10 tons remained, and they were concentrated in one area.
