Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 291: Picking up rubbish? Wouldn’t that make me a beggar on my knees?
"Warship? You were talking about a warship? Not just a distant-water fishing boat, you brought back a warship too? What kind of warship? Is it big? What model? Is it a 055 or a 052? Wait, you can't be bringing back an aircraft carrier, right?"

When I heard that Ximen Lang had not only acquired the ocean-going fishing boats, but also brought back the warships that were extremely scarce in the world of Sijiu City, which were almost non-existent compared to the huge navy of later generations, I was surprised to hear that he had not acquired the warships at all.

Bai Ling, Lao Luo and others immediately became excited.

They were even more excited than when the J-6 fighter jets arrived.

Even the ocean-going fishing boat that was about to be acquired was no longer attractive to them. They surrounded Ximen Lang and started muttering in his ear.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, I could have prepared something. I haven't prepared anything yet, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Seeing that Bai Ling was so shocked by the news, she immediately turned into Tang Monk and started muttering in her ears.

He raised his hand and pinched Bai Ling's mouth, asking her to quickly retract her magical powers.

Ximen Lang was speechless.

"You're even thinking about bringing back an aircraft carrier! We only have three aircraft carriers! Even if you include the newly launched Type 3, which we call an amphibious assault ship but is called an aircraft carrier outside, there are only four! You're so bold to ask for it to be brought back just by talking!"

Even though Ximen Lang is so powerful and Xia Yiyi has such strong connections, they didn't dare to make a move on them, and it was impossible for them to make a move on them.

"What kind of family do you have? How dare you even think of that? Forget about anything else. Just refueling an aircraft carrier costs 1000 million. Can you afford that? How dare you think of taking it?!"

"So expensive?!"

"Is this expensive? This is just the beginning!"

Seeing that Lao Luo and the others had no idea about this, Ximen Lang counted on his fingers and introduced it to everyone.

"Do you know how much a medium-sized conventional-powered aircraft carrier costs to build? We have a complete industrial chain, and everything we use is domestically produced. So, the cost of building a medium-sized conventional-powered aircraft carrier would be tens of billions!"

"That's just a small amount of money! You can't just go into battle with nothing but an aircraft carrier! Otherwise, if someone just drops something on your head, you won't be able to handle it. You need carrier-based aircraft, right?"

"Of course. Without carrier-based aircraft protecting us, we don't even have air superiority. How can this work?"

"Well, a slightly more advanced carrier-based aircraft would cost hundreds of millions! A medium-sized aircraft carrier would have to be equipped with at least 50 to 70 carrier-based aircraft! Even if one only costs 15 million, that's tens of billions more, right?" (Each J-4 costs about million.)
"And then there are the escort vessels. We need several missile cruisers and destroyers for air defense, right? And we also need anti-submarine destroyers, anti-submarine frigates, and attack nuclear submarines, right?"

"Next to them are electronic reconnaissance ships, medical ships, integrated supply ships, and oil tankers. Each one is essential, each one is indispensable. Please prepare them all."

My goodness, when they talk about the same ship, Bai Ling and Lao Luo's faces become a little stiffer. When they talk about the same ship, Bai Ling and Lao Luo's faces become a little stiffer.

The smiles on Lao Luo and Bai Ling's faces froze, it was so embarrassing.

That’s it, Ximen Lang hasn’t finished yet.

Because what I just said is just the cost of building an aircraft carrier fleet.

"In addition to the construction cost, there is also the cost of use and the usual maintenance cost."

Lao Luo and Bai Ling opened their mouths wide after hearing this, their faces full of disbelief.

Ximen Lang continued. "Yes, you're right. This thing is like a car. I can't just bite the bullet and buy it. After I buy it, I have to pay a portion of the money every year to maintain it. This maintenance, you know, another 100 billion is gone."

"And it costs 100 billion every year. You have to squeeze out that much money every year to maintain it well, otherwise it will affect its combat effectiveness!"

Bai Ling, who was excited about buying the aircraft carrier just now, fell silent.

Ximen Lang explained.

"So, it's not that I don't want to do it for you. It's just that you simply can't afford it and can't operate it. Large ocean-going fishing vessels are too technologically advanced and too difficult to operate. I wouldn't dare bring them back easily. Let alone these top-tier warships that we have in our country."

"Don't be too ambitious. Just focus on making these old-fashioned ships that have been eliminated by us, are perfectly compatible with your current level of technology, and are just enough for your use. This is the serious matter, and this is the most important thing right now!"

I really feel that the 051 equipped in the s and s is very suitable for the current world of Beijing. It is simply tailor-made for the world of Beijing.

In fact, it is indeed tailor-made for the current predicament faced by the world of Sijiu City.

At the same time, he handed the list with detailed parameters of 051 to everyone, asking them to take a good look and see if 051 was really as great as Ximen Lang said.

On the other side, Ximen Lang introduced to everyone.

"Although these Type 051s are old and have been retired for several years, because they were produced relatively recently and have undergone many upgrades and improvements, their combat effectiveness is definitely not bad!"

"After so many years of refinement, the firepower configuration is nearly perfect! Among ships of the same tonnage and class, it is definitely the most user-friendly and top-tier one!"

"What's even more valuable is that it's not difficult for us to use it at all! Once we get familiar with it, we can drive it and use it right away!"

"This one alone is countless times better than those other slutty bitches! We absolutely cannot miss it!"

"So, the moment I saw it, I fell in love with it and bought it right away!"

As he spoke, Ximen Lang introduced the parameters of 051 to Lao Luo, Bai Ling and others.

The Type 051 destroyer is 132 meters long, 12.8 meters wide, and has a draft of 4.6 meters. Its standard displacement is 3250 tons, and its full load displacement is 3670 tons. It has two steam turbines with a total power of 72000 horsepower. It uses a twin-shaft, twin-propeller design, with a maximum speed of 32 knots and a range of 2970 nautical miles at 18 knots.

Explain all the parameters and firepower configuration of 051 to Lao Luo and others in detail.

Especially its extremely low usage and maintenance costs, which immediately made Lao Luo and Bai Ling stand up straight.

Just like Ximen Lang at that time, the more I watch it, the more I like it, and the more beautiful it seems.

As if it was destined, his attitude changed immediately and he became impatient.

Thinking of the words Xia Yiyi had told me before leaving, asking me to take them with me.
Ximen Lang said in a dilemma.

"What do you think? How about we just pick up the leftover junk we have over here? Just like 051, we don't have to bother researching it ourselves. We can just buy everything we want. What do you think?"
