Chapter 200: Ghosts Go to Sea (Part 2)
“The transformation is completed?”
After the transformation of the Arkhangelsk was completed from Hephaestus who came to perform his merits, Sun Cheng was shocked.
"Yes, the master, although it took one more day than expected, the first phase of the submarine has been transformed and can go to sea at any time!"
In front of Sun Cheng, Hephaestus, whose blue light was obviously sluggish in his eyes, was seeking credit for him in a very flattering tone.
The Decepticon has a strict hierarchy system, and the senior Decepticon has terrifying suppression on the low-level Decepticons. It is simply the norm to humiliate and kill.
Therefore, since its birth, every low-level Decepticon will try every opportunity to climb up. Although under Megatron's rule, the fate of these engineers is miners, cannon fodder and slaves.
“Good done!”
Sun Cheng nodded with satisfaction and highly recognized Hephaestus and his efforts.
He is not a real mechanical life. The body contains the soul from humans. Although his personality is not cheerful, he has no bad tendencies. Naturally, he has no interest in abuse of these engineers.
However, Decepticon's strict hierarchy did bring him a lot of convenience.
With a moving heart, facing Hephaestus's expectant eyes, he said slowly: "Your loyalty is very satisfied. After the submarine is completely transformed, I will give you a chance, a chance to make you stronger. Now, Hephaestus. Take me to see my big monster!"
“Yes, Master!”
Although it was just an empty promise, Hephaestus's body trembled with excitement.
After responding quickly, he respectfully retreated and led Sun Cheng to wander inside the Arkhangelsk, which had completed the first phase of transformation.
After just one week, after the transformation of a team of Decepticon engineers, this old Typhoon-class ballistic missile nuclear submarine suddenly ushered in a new life.
Although only a few changes have been made to the internal structure of the submarine for the time being, the space inside the otherwise slightly crowded boat has changed a lot.
After the library, gym, swimming room, lounge, swimming room, soldier dormitory and other living facilities that originally served Russian Navy submarine soldiers were demolished, the available space in the ship increased by more than 370 square meters.
Don’t think this is inconspicuous. You should know that this is inside a submarine, and this change can only be described as a complete transformation.
The equipment in the original ship was one of the three key transformations of the engineers. Almost all the equipment equipped on the original ship was demolished, and some of them were replaced by the engineers with new equipment stolen from the warehouse in the North Devinsk Shipyard. Most of them were prepared to be equipped on the two "North Wind Gods" under construction in the shipyard. Some of the originals came from the Kilo-class submarine being built.
The core part of the equipment was designed by the engineers using stolen materials.
After the renovation, the space occupied by the submarine's internal equipment has been reduced by four-fifths compared to the original, and the degree of automation has also been greatly improved.
In terms of performance, the equipment originally equipped has been improved by more than three times.
In addition to equipment, another key transformation project for engineers is the submarine's power system.
The original power system on the Arkhangelsk was two Ok-65o (vm-5) type pressurized water nuclear reactors. In the eyes of Hephaestus and others, it was obvious that the submarine nuclear reactor designed by Soviet engineers in the 1970s and 1980s was not enough to be on the table.
What they originally proposed was a magnetofluid water-spraying propulsion device. In theory, one could provide this giant with more than 20,000 tons of abundant power underwater for no more than hundreds of knots of underwater.
Hephaestus and his team planned to replace two magnetic fluid water-spraying propulsion devices for the Arkhangelsk, so that this terrifying sea monster could have a terrifying degree of breaking through two hundred knots underwater, which was faster than the torpedo that shot out of the chamber.
However, the excellence of magnetofluid propellers is excellent, and the engineers do have their manufacturing technology.
However, the manufacturing of magnetic fluid propellers requires supporting equipment. In theory, when a magnetofluid propeller is made, at least thirty engineers must work sleeplessly for more than 20 days when the materials are sufficient.
Therefore, it can only be included in the second phase of transformation.
In the past week, Hephaestus and his team devoted a considerable amount of energy to transform the two ok-65o (vm-5) pressurized water reactors on the Arkhangelsk.
Four Decepticon engineers worked around them for more than three days, and finally brought new life to these two nuclear reactors built in the 1980s.
After the transformation, the size of the two nuclear reactors was reduced by one third, the replacement rate of parts reached more than 90%, and the total power was increased from the original 38om to 535m, but the service life of nuclear fuel was extended by nearly 30%.
Although the engineers were very puzzled by Sun Cheng's order to consume a lot of precious energy to transform this backward device, thanks to their efforts, this clumsy monster, which was often ridiculed by the US Navy because it was too slow, now has a maximum underwater diving of over forty-two degrees and has become a real undersea ghost.
Of course, it's just a ghost under the sea!
After reading the data of the new Arkhangelsk with satisfaction, Sun Cheng touched the wall of the submarine with his hand, but there was a little regret hidden deep in his eyes.
The reason why it is said to be just a ghost under the sea rather than a terrifying sea monster is that although the performance of the new Arkhangelsk after the engineers' transformation is excellent, it cannot cover up the fact that its weapon system is the same as before. As a ballistic missile nuclear submarine, the new Arkhangelsk should have allowed the whole world to reach the feared nuclear arsenal, and now it is empty!
Nothing wrong!
After mooring to the dock in the North Devinsk shipyard, the Arkhangelsk and the brother next to it have been cleared by the Russian military's ammunition depot, especially the nuclear warheads carried in the submarine that were enough to destroy the world, have been re-insulated by the military and put into the arsenal.
During the chaotic period after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a considerable number of nuclear weapons were lost to the black market, which once shrouded the earth's head for nearly twenty years.
After the strong new Russian president Vladimir took office, he reinforcing the protection and management of his country's nuclear arsenal.
Therefore, if Sun Cheng wants to get a P-39 (NATO code: ss-n-2o) submarine-launched ballistic missile designed for the typhoon, he must make a big fuss in Russia.
Not to mention whether he could complete the feat of the roadblock and attacking and bone crusher alone, just for this, it completely angered Russia, which is inconsistent with the plan originally formulated by Sun Cheng.
Therefore, he had to temporarily give up the armed new Arkhangelsk and leave it to consider it later.
After suppressing some regrets in his heart, Sun Cheng wandered around the submarine with satisfaction, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he felt.
After completing the inspection, he did not hesitate to praise him and said happily to Hephaestus and other engineers gathered around him: "Yes, I am very satisfied with your work results. After the second phase of transformation is completed, I will give you three of you the opportunity to strengthen the core. So, engineers, continue to work for me and let me see your achievements!"
After saying that, he ignored the group of engineers with ecstasy expressions on his face.
Sun Cheng proudly hummed a familiar festive tune in his heart, and his eyes swept across the submarine, which seemed even more dilapidated after being demolished due to the transformation of the engineers, and made a happy decision.
"My big baby, you need a new name, and call you 'ghost' in the future!"

2. There will be another chapter update later. By the way, please subscribe, collect, monthly ticket, recommendation, and reward support. Pirates have been very rampant recently. I almost got pirated in four or five minutes after my new chapter was released. But I don’t want to prevent theft every day and affect everyone’s reading experience, so I can only ask everyone to smoke a less cigarette every day to support the battleship!
Chapter completed!
