Navy stories, warships emitting black smoke.
——Commemorating the lost years of the Putuo Mountain Navy!
At the beginning of 2024, geopolitics has brought regional instability, sporadic firefights have been staged everywhere, the Moscow flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet has been sunk one after another, and the Houthi armed forces in Yemen have dared to pull teeth in the mouth of the big tiger in the United States in the face of the Mi warship that is armed to the teeth, and really hit the US warship, causing it to withdraw from the battle. China's naval equipment is also developing rapidly, the fourth aircraft carrier is basically formed, the double-digit 0.55 million tons of drive, and the 052D and 054 series are being built at an accelerated pace, setting off a new round of warship construction peak. The veteran sailors who have been retired for many years have seen the upgrading of the navy's ship equipment, the 055 drive is mighty and strong, and their hearts are full of enthusiasm, they are very excited and proud, and they sincerely praise the development of the motherland.

CCTV broadcasts a news documentary on the "Nanchang Ship", the clean and tidy ship environment, earth-shaking changes in weapons and equipment, and great improvement in living facilities and equipment, and the service on such a ship is full of confidence and pride. The self-built ships have overcome obstacles on the blue sea, braved the wind and waves, and marched forward with great courage and high spirits, announcing to the world that the Chinese Navy is coming, and a powerful naval ship force is ready to fight at any time to defend China's narrow and long sea frontier. Looking at the brand-new and beautiful warships, I recall that more than 30 years ago, the facilities and equipment of the warships were poor, the weapons and equipment were backward, and it was too difficult to defend the coastal defense line of the motherland under such conditions, and the navy was really too difficult.

In 1990, he joined the Navy and came to the Putuoshan Navy, which was the first submarine hunting force in New China, with a glorious history of building and heroic and tenacious combat history, and a large number of combat heroes emerged. At that time, the 037 hunting submarine in service was a relatively advanced boat, with a small displacement, but a lot of weapons and equipment, the space on the boat was compressed to a very narrow level, and the living and working environment and conditions were very poor. I learned such a story from the mouth of the veteran: the two "little lazi" followed the destroyer to patrol the high seas, and accidentally encountered a US warship in the Pacific Ocean. This was the real gap between the Chinese and US navies at that time, the huge gap in military science and technology, and the huge difference in combat concepts and methods.

As a local "sailor" of the Putuo Mountain shore service, every time I see the submarine hunting out to sea and start sailing away from the dock, I will always see a special phenomenon, the chimney behind the "Xiao Lazi" command tower emits thick black smoke, as if burning firewood covers the smoke outlet, and the thick black smoke is blown and spreads everywhere. From the huge "little wax" in front of him, he slowly walked away, and gradually saw the small "little wax", the black smoke above has not decreased, and the recognition is very high. I remember that I had a special discussion with the old squad leaders "Wang Butcher" and "Song Devil" about this phenomenon, and said that "Xiao Lazi" was emitting black smoke, which was large in number and did not disperse for a long time, which was not conducive to hiding and concealment, and it was easy to be found and attacked. Even joked that the ship that was not hit, and the black and thick smoke was already like being hit, and the enemy was not ready to attack after discovering it, because you had already been hit. After hearing this, "Butcher Wang," who was a major in mechanical and electrical engineering, slowly said an unconfirmed answer: The mechanical and electrical equipment of "Xiao Lazi" is all domestically produced, and the high-grade diesel fuel of the ship cannot be completely burned, causing a huge black smoke to rise. It is said that the installation of German-made diesel engines on large civilian ships basically does not produce black smoke, and the military diesel engines of warships are strictly controlled by the United States, Britain, Germany, and France, and cannot buy imported equipment, so they can only rely on domestic experts to continuously develop and improve them.

Leaving Putuo Mountain in December 1993, the diesel engine of "Xiao Lazi" has not changed, and every time he leaves the dock for a long voyage, it still leaves slowly with black and thick smoke. Thirty years later, now I see the CCTV 0.55 million ton drive voyage video, and I am very excited, China's electromechanical diesel engine has made great progress, and Chinese ships no longer emit thick and black smoke. There is no difficulty that can stop the Chinese Navy's progress, and no obstacle can stop the Chinese Navy's determination to defend the motherland's maritime frontiers. There are a lot of stories about the Navy, so don't take it too seriously and don't sit in the right seat, because what you hear may not be the same as what I hear. In any case, the Sea and Sky Buddha Country" and the "South China Sea Sacred Realm", the peaceful and quiet places of nature, are worthy of your personal experience and understanding.
