Chapter 82 A Fake Nuclear Submarine
"Across Southeast Asia? My house is in the Zhongyun city," Chen Fan said. "I couldn’t possibly move to Burma."
"What if you are wanted by the public?" Chen Shuguang said, "The risk of doing this doesn’t need my explanation. If you can’t stay here, you can go to Southeast Asia. Don’t mention the police since it’s useless even if the Interpol goes there."
"Well, let me give you a simple briefing on my background!" Chen Fan looked up. "I can run anywhere in this business, but my ship can’t be exposed because it has a lot of problems. I’m afraid the government will do everything possible to take my life if it gets out."
"That serious?"
"Yes, that’s why I try to hide my ship’s whereabouts."
Chen Shuguang was puzzled at first, then paused for two seconds, and began to breathe rapidly. "Bro, tell me the truth. Did you use a submarine to smuggle it? I heard that over the last two years, this method was very popular, especially in the United States. The drug dealers specialized in manufacturing miniature submarine carriers, only revealing its tip while sailing at sea. They would immediately submerge in the water once they encountered the anti-smuggling Customs or Navy."
In a change of tone, Chen Shuguang said, "The last time you asked me to throw the cargo into the sea, I was wondering, why were you acting so mysterious instead of just going to the dock and loading up the goods?"
"This..." Chen Fan rubbed his forehead hard, ruminating, did not answer Chen Shuguang.
Chen Shuguang’s words, like an enlightenment, pushed open a brand-new door that led him to a new world.
First of all, it was extremely unrealistic to pretend that the black electric eel was a submarine even at night. The body and steel texture were completely different, and which country’s submarine would sail in an s-type swing like the eel while sailing?
What really inspired Chen Fan was...
The process of making a mini-submarine was not complicated, and it could be said that any larger shipyard could make one.
Chen Fan had once read in the news that said: The Guangdong province had seized a high performance, completely sealed, bulletproof submersible ship that definitely would leave the customs in the dust.
The ship was not only welded to a turtle shell shape with a high hardness plate but the ship’s bow was also fitted with two specially designed collision angles, which were particularly used to strike the Coast Guard vessel.
That fact that was even more shocking was that the ship could sink to the bottom of the sea to avoid being traced, and its power system was a turbocharged engine with a total of 1,200 horsepower. You could definitely get rid of 99 percent of the Coast Guard vessels with a speed as high as 50 knots.
The submarines made by the drug dealers were even more advanced, usually only showing the tip of the boat on the surface of the water. Once they entered the American territorial waters, they would submerge under the water and come out of the water when they landed on the shore to unload their goods. The extent of its insidious nature could make the crew of the Coast Guard vessel go mad to the point of vomiting blood.
Although the submarine was unable to avoid the detection and attack of a warship, courage and luck were needed to be in this field. The sea was vast but do you think warships were really like fish, and that they would be everywhere?
Even the United States, the world’s most adept country at detecting smugglers who use submarines, claimed emphatically that the tiny submarines were simply too impossible to guard against. It could be seen that smuggling using a submarine was indeed a transporter that had the highest security in this field. Why not make a submarine model to cover the electric eel’s whereabouts? As long as he could find a processing factory that could make things using the panel to weld a large submarine model, that would be good.
As for the waterproof submarines, power, pressure, distance and security problem, all of these need not be considered, because the electric eel was the one that would pull the submarine, and not the submarine pulling the electric eel. Thinking about this made Chen Fan excited. It would not only be more glamorous when the electric eel dragged a fake submarine, but even the problem of the electric eel being exposed, which Chen Fan was most worried about, would be solved.
Even the person who has high jump thinking skills wouldn’t be able to guess that the submarine was a completely empty shell. The real, whole dynamic system was actually a sea monster of over fifty meters long.
"... Hmm... "
Chen Fan was deep in thought for a long time, and finally lifted his head, and acted mysteriously as he approached Chen Shuguang’s ear and said, "To tell you the truth, I do use the submarine to smuggle. The performance of the submarine is absolutely not what the civilian version could compare with. It’s not even an exaggeration to say that, with the weapon system removed, the submarine, which could carry 20 tons of cargo, was as good as a military submarine."
"So you have a large submarine?" Chen Shuguang asked in a worried tone. "It should be no problem for it to go to Burma, considering the useless navy ships in Burma. Your submarine will not be found out even if you sail right under them. But unlike Russia, you would have no trouble sailing a merchant ship there, however, they are sensitive towards the submarines, and if the navy ships find it, the arms dealers will not be able to speak for you."
’"You can rest assure, since I’m in this field I have the confidence to do this, as long as they don’t disclose my submarine," Chen Fan said.
"They are fine as long as they have money to make, they would not care whether you swim there or use a submarine to load." Chen Shuguang shrugged his shoulders. "When could you go to Myanmar with me?"
"In three days!" Chen Fan took a sip of the tea from his cup and then stood up. "I have something to deal with these few days."
"Then bro, go with me to the travel agency to get a visa tomorrow, then we will go in the name of traveling."
Chen Fan looked at the time and said, "You call me in the afternoon and let me know!"
..............................
After bidding farewell to Chen Shuguang, Chen Fan laid on the bed as soon as he was back home, carefully constructing, what type of submarine he should create.
The next morning, after Chen Fan sent Wang Bing to reinstall the car window. He drove his car alone to the small shipyards by the sea. The shipyard in Zhongyun city was as much as cow’s hair. To order a submarine model was a piece of cake. After a few turns, Chen Fan chose a relatively cool looking shipyard.
"Boss, are you here to order a cruise ship?" As soon as Chen Fan got out of the car, he was warmly welcomed by a dark, skinny, middle-aged man in his thirties.
"No! How long will it take for you to weld a submarine model which is 30 meters long, six meters wide and three meters high?" Chen Fan asked.
"Such a big submarine model... "The middle-aged man tugged his ear." There are no orders now. If it is only a model, it would take about five days. What type of submarine would you like to imitate?"
Chen Fan felt that the Sea Wolf level submarine which he had seen last time was not bad, and took it as a model. "Just imitate the American SeaWolf-class nuclear submarine!"
Chen Fan broke off a branch from the tree by his side and drew something on the sand, "Using a 12 mm steel welding plate, change the propeller at the tail of the submarine into a sealed valve door, on both sides make a long line-shaped water storage tank, so it can keep the state of the submarine semi-submersible in the sea. There is no need to solder the observation deck above the submarine and weld four one-meter-long u-shaped clips on each corner."
"This is simple. Do you want to install it as an automatic drain?"
"No, you just leave ten holes in a row as the draining hole. Three days, I need to see the submarine done in three days, and the price would not be less," Chen Fan said while handing the man 20, 000 RMB from his chest pocket.
The middle-aged man took the money, patted his chest and said. "It’s just a model so I could hire a couple of workers temporarily to make it in two and a half days."
"Yes, and paint the whole boat with black paint and then paint the word ’SeaWolf-Class Nuclear Submarine’ in English in white paint."
