1122. Oil whale (3)
Even if he only had the right to use it, Ao Muyang was very happy. This was a matter of a pie falling from the sky.
Seeing that he was so happy, Du Yulong smiled and said, "Just as long as you are satisfied, our leader has guessed that you will not be interested."
Ao Muyang said excitedly: "This is a warship, how could I not be interested?"
Du Yulong continued to laugh, smiling with a malicious intention: "Oh, I probably know, you have a violent worship character. What you like is the powerful weapon of warships, not the performance of a ship."
"What does it mean?" Ao Muyang didn't understand this sentence.
Du Yulong said: "You don't think that the fishing boat converted from warships is really more suitable for civilian use than fishing boats, right? Don't talk about anything else, do you know how much the annual maintenance cost of this ship is? Also, do you know how much the power of this ship is and how much fuel consumption is?"
As soon as these questions were raised, Ao Muyang's passion gradually calmed down.
The reason why warships are called the most expensive weapon is not the name they have made, but the title given by countries in pain after spending real money!
Du Yulong continued to explain to him: "You have to figure it out. Although the ship was converted into a trawler, it uses military steel, which is very different from civilian steel."
"You may not know that warships will suffer from shells and torpedo attacks during combat, so the steel used should consider strength, crack resistance and sensitivity, and other factors such as toughness, hardness, cold bending performance and plasticity. In order to enhance these aspects, the steel's resistance to corrosion, light weight, maintenance and other properties are sacrificed. In short, I really don't understand why you want a warship to be a fishing boat."
Listening to his words, Ao Muyang's heart began to chill, and he said dryly: "I was talking drunk at that time. Then I want a warship."
Du Yulong said: "Even if you are given a warship, can you afford it? If you are given a destroyer, how much is the maintenance cost of the country's main destroyer 052d in one year?"
Ao Muyang shook his head, and Du Yulong stretched out three fingers.
"That, three, three million?" he asked tentatively.
Du Yulong laughed happily: "Add another zero."
Ao Muyang's eyes were straight: "Three hundred million? One year's maintenance cost?"
Du Yulong said: "Don't think I'm fooling you. The cost of this ship is 4 billion yuan less than 4 billion yuan, and the purchase cost of the destroyer accounts for about 30% of the total life cost, which means that its maintenance and usage cost is about 13 billion yuan. Even if this ship can last for 40 years or 40 years, it's not too short? Then the average annual cost of RMB will be more than 300 million! This is still 052d. If it is replaced by 055? Hehe!"
After hearing him say this, Ao Muyang's heart almost stopped beating: "Brother, can I just want this boat?"
"No?" Du Yulong sneered, "Do you know how many connections we used to get this patrol ship? Do you know how much money we spent to modify this ship? Do you know how much effort we used to turn the nature of this ship into a civilian use? This is because our leader asked you what reward you want, and you said you wanted a warship!"
Lao Ao didn't know, but he probably had a lot of knowledge. Anyway, this ship was a generous gift, so he had to know it.
He patted Ao Muyang on the shoulder and said, "Comrade Xiao Ao, don't be pessimistic. After all, you own a warship. This is a comprehensive patrol ship. The ship is very fast and has a strong ability to resist wind and waves. Do you have an impression of the previous winter typhoon?"
Ao Muyang nodded. The electric mother who left last month was a very rare winter typhoon. As we all know, typhoons are prone to occur in summer and autumn and are rare in winter, so he must be impressed.
He asked, "Aren't this ship afraid of that typhoon?"
Du Yulong said: "Dream, destroyers can't stand such a typhoon, let alone this thin and modified patrol ship?"
Ao Muyang was stunned: "Then what did you mean by mentioning this typhoon just now?"
Du Yulong said: "I suddenly remembered this typhoon and mentioned it casually. There is no other meaning. Alas, winter typhoons are really rare. However, this boat's resistance to wind and waves is definitely much stronger than that of civilian fishing boats, and the speed is much faster. No, it's much faster!"
"How fast can this ship reach?" Ao Muyang asked.
Du Yulong said: "The speed of a multi-purpose patrol ship is generally around 25 knots. After being modified to slim down, the weight is greatly reduced, and the speed is faster, reaching thirty knots."
His words greatly comforted Ao Muyang's cold heart. Generally, the speed of a fishing boat is only 9 to 12 knots per hour. In comparison, the speed of this boat is simply as fast as it can fly.
Du Yulong said again: "Actually, according to our leader's intention, we were giving a retired warship to your fishing village for visiting and using. Your village is developing the tourism industry..."
Ao Muyang nodded wildly: "This idea is good, this idea is good."
Du Yulong smiled and said, "I'm sorry, there is no suitable warship. Such a multi-function patrol ship is retired in the middle of this year. Then we will come here and spend a lot of money to modify it for you."
Ao Muyang understood what he meant and said, "Col. Du, I am grateful to our Navy!"
Du Yulong patted his shoulder kindly and said, "No need, no need, it's what you deserve. At the beginning, you risked your life to complete a mission for our Navy, and also got the most advanced underwater information collector in the world. Speaking of which, you are a great contributor to the Navy, so it's not an exaggeration to award you a gold medal as big as a pot cover."
Ao Muyang smiled bitterly and said, "It's all right. Colonel Du, I'm just concerned about how much oil this ship can burn?"
Du Yulong touched his nose and said, "You can explore it yourself. Different speeds and different sea conditions have different fuel consumption capabilities. But I can tell you a hard indicator. To make its fuel tank full, you have to add 150 tons of oil!"
When Ao Muyang heard this, he couldn't help but cry.
A ton of diesel costs more than 7,000 yuan, and it will be more than one million yuan to fill this ship once!
Is this a fishing boat? Is this an oil tiger wrong? Is this an oil whale or a blue whale?
He thought that after the ship arrived, it would have to park on the dock for exhibitions. Even with his financial resources, it would be difficult to maintain the operation of the ship.
Seeing him with a look of pain, Du Yulong was happy. He patted Ao Muyang on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Xiao Ao, this ship is not filled with diesel, but with heavy oil. Our fleet will give you some convenience. You can refuel through the gas station of our naval base."
This greatly relieved Ao Muyang's heartache. Heavy oil is much cheaper than diesel.
From the source point of view, heavy oil is extracted from crude oil and refined, just like diesel, but heavy oil is the residual substance after extracting gasoline and diesel. Compared with diesel, they can have higher combustion calorific value and temperature after undergoing special treatment.
In other words, in the same case, heavy oil has stronger power than diesel, so the engines of warships are burning heavy oil instead of diesel.
Diesel costs more than 7,000 yuan per ton, and heavy oil is less than half of it. If he can still refuel through the naval base, it is estimated that a ton will be only 2,000 yuan per ton, and the cost will be sharply reduced.
