Qin Tao made the decision about the missile boat and brought Zhao Ling and Hao Kejian to meet him. He was extremely surprised when he saw the maintenance staff changing the engine quickly.
"Lao Maozi actually gave us such a big gift? Not bad." Qin Tao said: "With the new engine, the flight will be more secure. However, these old ones cannot be left to Lao Maozi. Our ship The ship hasn't left yet, so we can move all the old engines onto the ship."
Qin Tao did it even more neatly. Zhao Ling was a little curious on the side: "What are these old engines used for?"
"There are a lot of special alloys inside, and you can sell them for money if you take them apart." Qin Tao persisted in his spirit of collecting rags and refused to accept anyone who came.
"Everyone, please work harder. Don't worry about the installation for now. Let's remove the engine first." Qin Tao continued to greet him.
After saying that, Qin Tao climbed up the gangway and got into the passenger plane.
Lao Maozi continued to explore the potential of the Tu-104 passenger plane. In the end, he actually arranged more than a hundred seats on this passenger plane. Therefore, when Qin Tao stood in the cabin, he saw densely packed seats.
The distance between the seats is very small. I really don’t know how those tall old guys can fit in such a small cabin.
"Xiao Ling, should we go back by boat or by plane?" Qin Tao asked Zhao Ling who was following him.
"Let's take a plane, it's faster."
"Aren't you afraid of danger?"
"There's nothing to be afraid of. I'm with you anyway, even if..."
Even if they die, they must die together. This is what Zhao Ling did not say, but these words are unlucky, so of course they cannot be said.
Qin Tao shook his head and reluctantly climbed into the front cabin. Unfortunately, Qin Tao didn't recognize most of the instruments in the cockpit. To avoid trouble, he didn't touch them.
After visiting for a while, it got dark. Lao Maozi brought food to everyone, and everyone ate some on the plane and continued working.
This place is originally the most secluded place in the aviation base, so no one comes to disturb it. In order to avoid attracting attention, they will stay here and not run around until the aircraft is repaired. Anyway, there is plenty of space in the aircraft, so you can lie down when you are tired. Sleep in there for a while, then wake up and get back to work.
Qin Tao only knew how to build ships, not airplanes, so seeing that it was no longer interesting to stay here, and worried about the cargo ship leaving the port at night, Qin Tao returned to the port.
A large Kamaz truck followed with a rumble. The truck was equipped with a dismantled engine. Since Qin Tao wanted these scraps, Lao Maozi had nothing to say and sent them to Qin Tao. Anyway, the aviation base and dock The distance is not very far either.
The only pity was that the number of maintenance personnel brought was not large, so only four engines were dismantled in one afternoon.
"Brother Zaitsev, thank you very much." Qin Tao said to Zaitsev who was driving.
There were three people in the cab. Zaitsev was driving, while Qin Tao and Zhao Ling were sitting in the passenger seat. The engine in front was still roaring, and Qin Tao had to raise his voice to make Zaitsev hear.
"You're welcome, General Nikolay said, let me follow you, help you deal with various things, and complete our cooperation." Zaitsev said: "Now these are what I should do."
"I don't have anything good on hand, so please accept this gift." Qin Tao said, and pulled out a small thing like a magic trick.
It is less than ten centimeters in length and looks relatively compact. It has a red handle on the outside and a metallic luster on the inside. As the car is driving, it keeps passing the street lights and the light shines into the cockpit. Zaitsev saw Be clear.
"Swiss Army Knife?" Zaitsev completely let go of the steering wheel with both hands, quickly took it over and opened the folded things.
There are different blades, a spiral-shaped wine bottle opener, small scissors, and a screwdriver, which look very delicate.
Zaitsev's face was very happy: "Qin, thank you very much!"
"Then put your hands back on the steering wheel." Qin Tao said. Although the road on the pier is very wide, the car has already deviated to the left.
"Okay." Zaitsev held the steering wheel with one hand and was still playing with the Swiss Army Knife with the other hand.
Zhao Ling's face turned pale.
The car drove onto the berth of the Mingyuan cargo ship, and saw that the crane arm was still continuously moving the cargo off the ship. This kind of ordinary bulk carrier was really too slow in loading and unloading.
"If we move these engines onto the ship now, it will be a waste of time for unloading." Qin Tao said: "In order to speed up, let's put these engines on the speedboat. When the cargo is loaded and unloaded, we can use the cargo ship to tow it We left on a speedboat.”
Zaitsev frowned: "That speedboat doesn't seem to have room for these engines, right?"
"Why not? Aren't there four launch tubes at the back?"
Hearing what Qin Tao said, Zaitsev's eyes lit up: "Yes, let's do it. Qin, you are so smart."
Kamaz continued to drive on the port and came to the pier where the speedboat was docked in the corner. Zaitsev called a crane, set it up, and got busy on the pier.
Behind the missile boat, there are four huge launch tubes. Although they have long been abandoned, the lids of the launch tubes can still be opened manually. When the crane hoisted the first engine swayingly, it was really smooth. It was stuffed into the missile launcher!
This is of course also because the P-15 (NATO codename SS-N-2 Styx) anti-ship missile is stuffed inside. This is Laomaozi’s first-generation anti-ship missile. It still uses a liquid rocket engine, so it has With a huge belly, the entire missile looks like a bloated silkworm baby, so it is nicknamed the silkworm missile.
The RD-3M engine was stuffed in, and it turned out to be perfect. The four missile launchers also temporarily served as cargo boxes.
One, two, three...
The last one has been lifted, and Qin Tao is also helping by hanging the lifting cable on the last engine. The work is about to be completed.
"When the pretense is over, we'll go have a drink. The bar outside the base." Qin Tao greeted Zaitsev.
However, at this moment, the connection point of the cable suddenly loosened, and the last engine fell into the sea with a pop.
"Damn, what's going on?" The crane driver came down and couldn't help but curse.
Qin Tao also looked embarrassed: "How could this happen? Losing an engine is not a big deal. Anyway, we took it apart and sold it for scrap when we went back. However, if we don't stuff something into the empty launch tube, , then the missile boat is unbalanced, and there may be a risk of capsizing during the towing process. Zaitsev, we have to find something to put in it."
