"You really repaired it?"
Old Zhou shouted.
"Get up here!"
Chen Chu waved at Old Zhou.
Old Zhou ran over excitedly.
Soon, he arrived on the deck.
The deck was piled with a large number of spare parts and instruments. Some were moved up by him, while some were dismantled from the frigate.
Three days ago, Old Zhou would have been so heartbroken that he would have pinched his philtrum again.
But today, he didn't even look at it and went straight to the main control room.
In the main control room, all the instruments had been dismantled by Chen Chu, and the wires were everywhere.
" You really fixed it?" Old Zhou asked, trembling as he looked around.”
"The key technologies have all been overcome and repaired.”
"But the time is too short, so the outer shells of these instruments haven't been installed yet." Chen Chu explained. Some of the larger parts required the help of the military factory.”
"The navigation is fine, the warning system is fine, and the weapon system is fine…As long as the missiles are installed, it can be used.”
Ol 'Zhou quickly fumbled around on the main control panel.
He pressed the warning system button, and the radar quickly activated. A few red dots appeared on the display.
Then, he pressed the control button of the ship-borne close-range defense cannon.
Immediately, a string of words appeared on the console.
Close range artillery fire system activated!
Ammo insufficient, please reload as soon as possible.
He pressed the launch button of the ship-borne anti-air missile.
Anti-air missile system activated!
There are not enough missiles. Please load the missiles as soon as possible!
He pressed the buttons one by one, and Old Zhou's hands could not help but tremble.
The Type 021 frigate had really been repaired.
Weapon systems, radar systems, power systems, etc. All the technology that was stuck at the neck had been overcome.
Ol 'Zhou looked at Chen Chu with bloodshot eyes, which made Chen Chu's hair stand on end.
"Old Zhou, don't be like this. I'm not interested in men.”
Mr. Zhou didn't care and went up to give Chen Chu a big hug, almost suffocating him.
Then, Ol 'Zhou took two steps back and lay on the ground, kissing the hull deeply. He didn't get up for a long time.
Chen Chu could clearly see Ol 'Zhou's tears dripping onto the ground.
Chen Chu was moved by this simple emotion. He thought of the saying in his previous life,"A soldier should treat his gun and warship as his second wife."
After getting up, Old Zhou took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.
Standing in the main control room and looking at the sea in the distance, Ol 'Zhou said slowly.
"Six years ago, when it first arrived, I was one of the first researchers to board the ship. After that, I was in charge of the Type 021 frigate.”
"I know everyone on this ship, from the captain to the ordinary logisticians. I eat and live with them, I teach them how to adjust the equipment…"
"It is like my child.”
Tss--
Phew--
Old Zhou took a deep breath and continued.
"You heard what happened after that. It was crippled. My child is ruined just like that. At that time, I told the surviving crew members that I would definitely repair it! I will definitely let it sail on the sea again!”
" But some people disagreed. They felt that instead of spending three times the purchase price to restore one frigate, it would be better to buy two more.”
"So, you had a conflict with them?" Chen Chu asked.”
"Yes," Old Zhou nodded.
"Buy? What was the use! If the key technology could not be solved, they would have to spend money to hire people to repair it. It just so happens that it's scrapped. We can use it for research. As long as we can repair it, we can master the relevant technology! In the future, he wouldn't need to be at the mercy of others.”
"But they didn't agree! The maintenance time was too long, the cost was too high, the military expenditure was insufficient, the manpower was insufficient…They had thought of all the excuses.”
"That day at the meeting, an old man in his fifties was…"
Old Zhou chuckled.
"After that, my military rank was retained, but I was stripped of it.”
Even though Ol 'Zhou didn't go into detail, Chen Chu could imagine how heated the debate between the two parties must have been.
" I heard that they've been discussing buying another frigate at a price that's 15% to 20% higher than the market price!”
"A bunch of stubborn old fogeys. If others don't sell it, they'll buy it even if they have to pay!”
"If the core technology is not in your own hands, you will be controlled by others for the rest of your life! Did they not understand? They understood! But it's fine even if you don't want to admit it! A bunch of bastards!"
Old Zhou stomped on the cigarette butt and cursed.
"Why don't they think about it? What if the one who invades in the future isn't the Free Nation but the Northern Bear Nation? What's the difference between a warship that we bought from them and a transparent one in their eyes?”
Chen Chu agreed with this point.
Regardless of whether they were retired or in active service, as long as they dared to sell them to you, you wouldn't have to worry about using these armaments against them in the future.
Putting aside whether there was a backdoor, at least they knew these armaments like the back of their hands.
Old Zhou patted the main control panel and was overjoyed.
"This is great. We can master the core technology ourselves!”
"We have hope of building our own modern frigate!”
Suddenly, Ol 'Zhou straightened his military uniform and saluted Chen Chu.
Pa--
"Comrade Chen Chu, on behalf of the dead and the living, I would like to express my gratitude to you! Thank you for letting our old friend be reborn!”
At this moment, Old Zhou's eyes were wet.
This was his promise to those people. He didn't keep it, but it was fulfilled in Chen Chu's hands! He was grateful to Chen Chu from the bottom of his heart.
After a while, Old Zhou appeared on the deck and said to Liu Yong.
"Lieutenant Colonel Liu, I order you to stop the exhibition immediately! Seal off the scene!"
"Yes, Colonel!"
In fact, the moment the frigate moved, Liu Yong immediately forbade anyone from entering this place.
After giving his orders, Old Zhou ran back to the main control room and circled Chen Chu a few times.
He asked in embarrassment.
"Xiao Chen, this…how did you do it? Why don't you…bring me along?"
"Aren't you leaving?"
"Yes, we originally agreed that the aircraft carrier would arrive in about three months. However, it seemed that there was a problem on the way…Anyway, there was no hurry.”
Chen Chu understood. In his previous life, the first aircraft carrier of the Dragon Country had an extremely difficult journey back to China. The journey of two to three months had taken more than a year.
There were people blocking the way, and there were also people extorting money. In short, it wasn't that easy.
Chen Chu sighed to himself,"I still don't have enough foundation!"
At this time, the technical problems of the Type 021 frigate had been repaired. The hull and other problems could be solved by the Munitions Factory.
In Chen Chu's mind, the data regarding the Type 021 frigate changed again.
Type 021 frigate, old model, complete (90%) Note: Can be upgraded to a third-generation frigate!
It was originally unable to be upgraded, but now it could.
The rest of the technical information was still being updated.
This change made Chen Chu happy.
This meant that the self-developed frigate would be stronger and more advanced than 021!
A third-generation frigate. That was the standard equipment of the Dragon Country in 2022. The Type 021 was only one and a half generations.
Glancing at the control room, Chen Chu thought to himself,""After this is over, I have to hurry up and research new technology. The sooner they could research it, the sooner they could put it into production!”
"Currently, Northern Bear Nation and Free Nation only use second-generation frigates!”
Old Zhou flipped through Chen Chu's notes and exclaimed.
"Wonderful, the rebuttal and connection technology of the ship-borne anti-air missile system is actually from here. Why didn't I think of it?”
The more he read, the more Old Zhou realized that there were some aspects that even he could not understand.
However, he was certain that Chen Chu had really overcome the technical problem!
He knew better than anyone what this meant!
From now on, the Dragon Country also had the ability to independently produce the Type 021 frigate! Although he was a retired veteran from Northern Bear Country, it was better than nothing!
He no longer had to lick his face and beg others to sell him.
This was an unprecedented increase in the strength of the Dragon Country's navy!
"Little Chen, you've done a great job!"
