Chapter 229 - 229 Ship! (2)
229 Ship! (2)
Even some countries could not compare to such a fleet.
When Lin Yu saw the surprised gazes of these people, he was very proud.
This was the foundation of the Black Sword Fleet. There was a reason why they had been running amok in the sea for so many years.
“Let me introduce you to the configuration of the main ship. This was modified from a ten-thousand-ton destroyer. The cost of construction was about six billion. In order to achieve air control, we modified the hull on it ourselves so that armed helicopters can be freely parked.”
Lin Yu gave a simple explanation. It was impossible to transform a destroyer into an aircraft carrier, but it was not a problem to achieve some simple effects.
As Zheng Jianghao listened from the side, his pupils dilated.
Was the main ship of this fleet already so shocking?
It was not only because it cost six billion yuan to construct, but it was also because these people could actually modify their own ships. This was not something ordinary people could do.
One had to know that if one wanted to dock an armed helicopter, the st.u.r.diness and area needed were also extremely high.
These people had actually completed the production without pa.s.sing through a shipbuilding company or a shipyard. Their strength was simply shocking.
Furthermore, they had installed so much high-tech equipment on the ship. Every one of them was worth a lot of money.
As expected, equipment at sea was too expensive. This was true.
It was too amazing.
Ye Xuan still had a smile on his face, and there didn’t seem to be any fluctuations in his eyes. He raised his hand and gestured to Lin Yu. “I understand. Introduce me to the configuration of the destroyers!”
“Speaking of destroyers, I want to introduce you to this first. Currently, our five guided missile destroyers have a displacement of 6,000 tons. They are all fully equipped with tracking radars and electronic warfare systems. Moreover, our anti-ship missiles are also equipped with the most advanced technology. They are many generations ahead of many ships.”
Lin Yu was able to become a vice-captain because of his true strength. He was very knowledgeable about ships and spoke endlessly. It could be seen how much he loved these ships.
Ye Xuan looked at him and couldn’t help but think to himself, “No wonder the old captain chose him as his deputy. Only a person who truly loves ships can sincerely protect this fleet.”
Of course, not only did the fleet have five guided missile destroyers, but they also had five vertical missile-launching destroyers. They were also equipped with very practical and cutting-edge maritime technology. The cost of construction and maintenance was also not cheap.
“The cost of building these ten destroyers is about four billion. As for the other ten ships, they are also destroyers with anti-ship missiles. However, because of the age of the ships, they also have some torpedo devices. The toughness of the window hulls is not up to standard, and we can’t update many of the equipment to the latest technology. We are constantly adjusting and perfecting them.” Lin Yu explained in detail, including some of the work they usually did.
At this moment, Zheng Jianghao had already recovered his cold expression, but his heart seemed to be on fire as he quickly calculated the value of these ships.
He was quite fond of military matters, so he knew a lot about military matters.
The long-term maintenance cost of a ship was not low. It could even reach three times the cost of construction.
Just ten destroyers cost four billion. Wasn’t this fleet too luxurious?
Even an ordinary country could not do this!
Zheng Jianghao racked his brains but could not think of a more suitable term.
This was not a fleet at all. It was clearly walking money!
When Zheng Jianghao thought of this, he could not help but look at Ye Xuan. He thought to himself that only someone with the Young Master’s strength could command such an expensive team.
Meanwhile, Ye Xuan nodded calmly and was very happy.
As expected of the divine-level reward from the system. This heavyweight Black Sword Fleet made him too happy.
Not only did he own so many luxurious ships, but he also had so many elite soldiers and generals. It was simply amazing!
As for the frigates, they were more low-key than destroyers. However, the cost of each frigate reached more than one billion yuan. Half of the frigates even reached a cost of 1.5 billion yuan.
It was precisely because the technology was more advanced that the budget was increased by 500 million.
This value, tsk tsk tsk.
In order to prevent Ye Xuan from getting impatient, Lin Yu simply introduced the main points.
Ye Xuan was very satisfied with Lin Yu’s thoughtfulness. Looking at his team members standing in the cabin, Ye Xuan looked at Lin Yu and asked, “Can your ship enter Shanghai Harbor?”
Lin Yu thought about it and replied, “We can, but it’s more troublesome.”
Although their ships had formal procedures, their scale was ma.s.sive. It would definitely attract the absolute attention of the authorities. They might even be repeatedly asked to meet for an investigation.
However, it was understandable. After all, it was for the safety of the people!
When Ye Xuan heard this, he nodded. He thought of his Sixth Sister, who was still in a coma, and said, “I still have something on and need to rush back to Shanghai. How about this? The upper echelons of the Black Sword Fleet will follow Zheng Jianghao to Shanghai for a meal. After you return, bring the other members over and treat it as my first celebration banquet after I’ve taken over. How about that?”
When Lin Yu heard Ye Xuan’s words, he was very happy.
Ye Xuan’s actions showed how much he valued and liked the Black Sword Fleet.
