Ballistic Silence of Special Years

Chapter 882 The situation is complicated

While Li Zheng and the others were fully armed and chatting on the deck waiting to set off, the atmosphere in the command center was extremely tense.

"What, is a LNG ship?!"

Zhang Jian was dumbfounded when he saw the situation report.

As a squad commander, he suddenly felt that things were getting complicated.

There are many pirates all over the world, but not many dare to snatch liquefied gas ships.

Cargo ships transporting liquefied natural gas are generally called LNG ships. LNG carriers are very different from ordinary cargo ships. They are typical "three high ships" with high technology, high reliability and high added value.

Because it is specially used to transport liquefied natural gas, it needs low-temperature storage, so people call it a "sea super refrigerated vehicle", and it is also called a "sleeping hydrogen bomb".

This is not an exaggeration. The energy produced by the explosion of 1 kilogram of TNT explosive is about 4.19 megajoules, and the energy produced by 1 ton of TNT is 4.19 gigajoules.

1 megajoule = 1 million joules, 1 gigajoule = 10 billion joules.

The density of liquefied natural gas is 430-470 kg/m20, and 94000 cubic meters of liquefied natural gas weighs about [-] tons.

1千克液化天然气热值50.24兆焦，一艘LNG运输船就是50.24*1000*94000=4722560吉焦。

This is equivalent to 112.7 million tons of TNT equivalent, which is definitely the equivalent of a hydrogen bomb!No wonder people are afraid of people at sea, ghosts are worried, and aircraft carriers have to go around.

Of course, this is only the calorific value parameter on paper, and it will not be as fierce as more than one million tons of TNT when it is really popular. After all, liquefied natural gas cannot produce an instantaneous high-temperature and high-pressure environment like a hydrogen bomb, and its manufacturing affects such a wide range. The range and diffusion speed of the detonation shock wave are not so large, and the calorific value will be quickly digested in an open place.

But having said that, it is not a joke that the LNG ship exploded. Anyway, there are not many people who dare to rob this thing.

But today such a thing really happened, and someone actually robbed it? !

However, Zhang Jian quickly discovered something was wrong.

The ship in the photo does not look like a typical LNG ship with huge gas storage tanks. The large LNG ship is very recognizable. From a distance, there are several large round gas storage tanks on board. This ship No, there is only a raised bow-to-stern trapezoidal cabin, and the tonnage does not seem to be large.

Looking at the tonnage again, it is only 3200 tons.

Why such a small tonnage?

"Team leader, why does this ship only have a capacity of more than 3000 tons..."

The leader of the command team on duty said: "This is an old-fashioned natural gas ship, so the loading capacity is not large. He originally loaded natural gas from the Middle East and planned to cross the Red Sea to Europe. He did not expect to encounter pirates in the Gulf of Aden."

"Row!"

Zhang Jian put away the report and asked the commander.

"What are we going to do now?"

The command team leader said: "Let's go to support them. Although Baixiang's navy is the closest to them, it seems that Baixiang can't handle it. I asked around in the channel if there is a colleague nearby. We called back. The commander said let our ship go over and have a look. .”

Zhang Jian asked, "What's the current condition of the ship? Have the pirates boarded the ship?"

The command team leader said: "White Elephant's words were vague. They just said that the situation is urgent. They don't have enough ability to deal with it and they need support..."

Zhang Jian smiled: "It's rare for Baixiang Haijun to be so self-effacing?"

The command team leader said: "Don't talk about it, it's not too late. You should send a team over there first. It is best that you lead the team yourself. Then our ship will rush over there. It is estimated that it will take an hour's voyage to reach the sea area where the accident occurred. Your helicopter After the team arrives, they must do a good job of enemy reconnaissance, and report the situation to me. In addition, the White Elephant Navy requires the establishment of a joint combat channel, which will be connected to you at that time. Before our ships arrive, if they need any support, Your group can cooperate."

"Yes!"

"Let's go then!"

The commander waved his hand, Zhang Jian respected him, he returned the salute, and the two said goodbye.

Zhang Jian got out of the pilot building of No. 2 ship and trotted all the way down to the deck.

"Come here."

Everyone heard the sound and quickly moved closer to Zhang Jian.

"Time is running out. To make a long story short, according to the report of the White Elephant Navy, a liquefied natural gas vessel was pursued by pirates. It is not clear whether it has successfully boarded the vessel. The commander and the duty command team leader meant that we should send a helicopter to support it. , Do a good job of reconnaissance after arriving, and send back to the command center after obtaining first-hand information.”

"White Elephant Navy?"

Wang Haiyang looked at Zhang Jian meaningfully.

"Is it reliable?"

Zhang Jian said: "Follow the order, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and talk about it when you get on the plane."

After speaking, he began to order people.

Li Zheng and Hou Jun must be on the plane, after all, they are the best sniper team.

With them there, it is considered as the magic needle of Dinghai.

For the remaining four, Zhang Jian ordered Qiang Yong, Wei Fatty, and Wang Haiyang, and then he himself served as the leader of the tactical team.

"Go, get on the plane."

A group of people are not talking nonsense, after all, this mission is very urgent.

After getting on the plane, Lao He stretched his waist and said, "There are so many things in these two days."

After finishing speaking, he asked: "Are you all seated, I'm going to fly."

"All right!"

"it is good!"

Everyone answered.

Lao He gently pulled the joystick, and the Haizhi 9C slowly rose from the deck apron under the command of the instructor.

Zhang Jian seized the time to introduce the current situation to everyone in the cabin.

In fact, Zhang Jian doesn't have much information at present. It is said that Baixiang just keeps calling for reinforcements, and there is not much introduction to the specific situation of the liquefied natural gas ship.

Everyone knows Bai Xiang's consistent behavior style, so they think it makes sense.

Anyway, as the vanguard team, the command center didn't point to how much information White Elephant could provide. It would be more reliable to trust them than to trust their own special warfare team.

Everyone was shocked when they heard that it was a liquefied natural gas ship.

After all, it has been escorting for so long, and this is the first time I heard that someone hijacked this kind of ship.

Either they don't understand, or they are bold.

On the contrary, Li Zheng was a little worried after hearing the briefing.

Once it is this kind of flammable and explosive ship, for him, a sniper, the test is not ordinary.

About half an hour later, the helicopter had arrived at the sea area where the accident occurred.

Everyone lowered their heads and looked down, and were immediately taken aback.

On the vast sea, the liquefied natural gas ship that had the accident was moving very slowly, almost as fast as a turtle.

But several ships appeared around it, surrounding it.

Hou Jun quickly picked up the reconnaissance instrument and searched and checked the sea.

As a result, I was stunned after watching it.

"4 warships!"

He couldn't help exclaiming.

"Gaulu, John, Hans, White Elephant, they are all here!"

Everyone heard this and quickly took out their own binoculars, and those who didn't have a binoculars directly looked at it with a scope.

Sure enough, Hou Jun was right.

There are four warships around, namely the naval ships of Gaul, Hans, John, and White Elephant's family.

Including my own helicopter, that is to say, the navies of 5 countries have arrived at the scene.

"This……"

Wang Haiyang, the old navy, was also dumbfounded.

"Is it worth it? Those who don't know think that the ship is loaded with gold!"

Suddenly, English with the smell of mysterious curry spice came from the helicopter channel, speaking English with an accent that made people want to die.

"We are the White Elephant Navy, the air helicopter please identify yourself, repeat, this is the White Elephant Navy, the air helicopter please identify yourself immediately."

The driver Lao He finally understood it, and began to reply, announcing his identity.

Fatty Wei couldn't help but glanced at the outside of the fuselage, and muttered, "Such a big August [-]st military emblem is painted on it, is the white elephant blind?"

But the rules are still the rules, and it's normal for people to check.

When Lao He was communicating with Baixiang Haijun, Hou Jun was still concentrating on his observation work, holding a reconnaissance instrument and observing the natural gas ship.

Suddenly, he shook his head and said, "It seems we are late, the pirates are on board."

　Ask for a monthly pass!

　　LNG ships are rarely hijacked, but during the escort, the formation navy has also encountered pirates who really dare to hijack such ships.

　　This case is a real case.
