Warship of Great Power

Chapter 365: The cutest person in modern times

 Chapter 365 The cutest person in modern times

The bearded captain at this time had absolutely no idea that this kind of nightmare would continue to appear in the future. As long as he came to the eastern sea to do bad things, countless fishing boats would come after hearing the news. Whatever he threw into the sea, the fishing boats He will salvage something. In short, it is absolutely impossible for him to do what he wants to do unscrupulously!

 The Experiment 3 marine scientific research vessel.

"Mr. Qin, your idea is really great!" Cao Yong said with emotion: "We are all worried and don't know how to deal with it best. You have solved the problem so easily."

“Yes, they say Mr. Qin is very capable. We only heard about it before, but this time we finally saw it with our own eyes.” Chen Rong also said with emotion.

“Don’t praise me, I just came here to join in the fun. Now, are we heading towards Shuangsha Island?”

“Yes, we will focus on inspecting this island and reef this time to prepare for the next action.”

Hearing what Chen Rong said, Qin Tao glanced at him dissatisfied: "Mr. Chen, do you want to expose our target?"

If it goes around the Shuangsha Islands and reefs in circles, then the nearby fishermen will find that the purpose of this boat is impure. How will they carry out the next actions?

“Mr. Qin, what do you think we should do?”

"Of course I'm pretending to be passing by." Qin Tao said: "Let's pass near the island, that's all."

“However, if this is the case, it will be impossible for us to thoroughly check the hydrological conditions nearby. Aren’t we going to build islands by reclamation in the future? How can we build islands if we are not familiar with the surrounding environment?”

“That’s for the future. When we hold Shuangsha Island in our hands, we can circle around and investigate as much as we want. The specific investigation will wait for the next work. This time it’s just a formality.”

Qin Tao's concerns about the navy are understandable. The Shuangsha Island does look good, but it is not clear whether it can be filled into an island. It must be investigated clearly before we can make a clear decision.

However, if you investigate here for a long time, you will alert the enemy. Therefore, Qin Tao came here to participate in the inspection operation to urge these people, just go through the motions and don't take it seriously.

 “But we have to write a report!”

“Write a report and say that it is completely suitable for reclamation and island building.” Qin Tao said: “I will also sign it. When the time comes, if it really cannot be built, the responsibility is our Mingzhou Group’s and has nothing to do with you.”

As the chief scientist of this mission, Chen Rong was a little dissatisfied and felt that Qin Tao's plan was deceiving people. However, rationally, he also knew that Qin Tao's arrangement made sense.

 They can't be alarmed!

Now, if they investigate too carefully, they will definitely attract attention. If they want to complete the task quietly, they must pretend that they are not paying attention to this place and are just passing by.

"Our plan needs to be more detailed. We might as well write down the next action plan for the reference of our superiors." Qin Tao said, "For example, we have to move the reef outpost on Shuangsha Island in a short time. Just cover it up, do you guys have any ideas?"

"Yes, it must be built in a short time, otherwise the nights will be long and the dreams will be many. That's why we plan to conduct a detailed inspection here to provide a basis for the next construction." Chen Rong began to worry again, because of the next Construction is indeed too complicated.

 Without understanding of hydrological and meteorological data, it is impossible to carry out rapid construction.

“We should be able to find the most suitable place to build the outpost based on the shape of the reef, right?” Qin Tao could only follow the temptation.

"Yes, even if we just pass by, we can survey the specific shape of the reef and find a suitable location. It should be no problem. However, it is not easy to build quickly." Chen Rong said.

"Then let's divide the work. You are responsible for the survey, and our Mingzhou Group is responsible for the construction. We can build the outpost in an hour. How about it?"

"One hour, that's impossible, even a bamboo stilt house can't be made!" Chen Rong was anxious. Mr. Qin said this, which is absolutely irresponsible!

“Have you heard of prefabricated houses?” Qin Tao said with a smile.

 Prefabricated house?

 “Is it Khrushchev’s room?”

 Speaking of prefabricated houses, many construction engineers are full of expectations and believe that this is the future development direction. The prefabricated panels of the building are produced in factories and assembled directly at the construction site, which can also avoid dust and other pollution.

However, this is definitely not an innovation of later generations. After the end of World War II, Lao Maozi needed a large number of houses to live in. This kind of prefabricated houses were built at that time, and the construction speed was astonishingly fast. Of course, the sound insulation is much worse.

Now, when Qin Tao talks about prefabricated houses, everyone can think of Khrushchev houses. After all, they come from that era.

 “But how will this house be transported?”

“Besides, when building a house on a reef, piles must be driven underneath!”

 Everyone has doubts about Qin Tao's plan.

This is like building a house on a reef. When the tide is high, there is nothing on the sea. When the tide is low, the reef is exposed on the sea. It is too difficult to build an outpost on this.

“Everyone is responsible for the survey, and we will do the rest.”

"Mr. Qin, please stop being so pretentious and tell us all." Chen Rong felt itchy.

"Our shipyard is currently refitting a scrapped oil tanker. After the modification is completed, the tanker will be delivered to Zhenhua Heavy Industry. As a gantry crane transport ship of Zhenhua Heavy Industry, this is a special ship. It not only has a large number of space and a dedicated crane.”

Hearing what Qin Tao said, everyone's eyes lit up.

 What a huge ship it must be that specializes in transporting gantry cranes! On this kind of ship, prefabricated buildings several stories high can be easily carried. In other words, the corresponding reef outposts can be built directly on land and then delivered through this ship!

Although it is rare to use ships to transport buildings, they still exist. In later generations, on the vast Yangtze River, there were special ships for transportation, carrying four or five-story buildings everywhere, which amazed everyone who saw them. Sure enough, , this kind of vehicle and vessel use tax is not paid in vain.

Now, they can ship and transport the built outposts, which is much more convenient than transporting building materials to build them on site.

“I seem to see a house ahead?” At this time, Qin Tao looked into the distance, a little curious.

 “Zubi Reef.” Xu Zhengyang said.

"Mr. Qin, your secretary really knows a lot." Chen Rong said with emotion: "When we go to Shuangsha Island, we need to pass by Subi Reef. There is already our second generation stilt house there. You You can see the wooden pile-like things next to it, which are all bamboo poles. They are the remains of our first-generation stilt houses."

“Yes, the first-generation stilt house is our sea cat’s ear hole.” Xu Zhengyang said: “Without a firm will, we really can’t keep it.”

At this time, Xu Zhengyang looked at the bamboo poles in the distance, his chest rising and falling, showing his inner excitement.

I’ve always wanted to come back and see it, and now, I’m finally back!

 On February 5, 1988, the first stilt house in Nansha was built on Fiery Cross Reef. This is a simple bamboo stilt house with steel as the backing, bamboo poles as the columns, bamboo mats as the walls, and asphalt roofing. The area is only 10 square meters. The space is very small. Coupled with the difficulty of supplying at sea, the living conditions of the officers and soldiers are extremely difficult.

 Think about a ten-square-meter room, alone on the sea, with wind leaking from all directions, being exposed to the sun in the summer, cold in the winter, and with very few supplies, and you will know how difficult life must be.

Now, only those lonely pillars are left, still telling the story of the past.

Qin Tao looked at the bamboo poles that were getting closer, and he was filled with emotion. In order to protect the motherland, how many border guards have silently dedicated themselves!

 They not only have to face loneliness and the sea, but they also have to face possible military threats at any time.

 Where dogs can be driven crazy, but people can hold on here. How do they rely on it? It is infinite loyalty to the motherland! In peacetime, they are the cutest people of our time!

"In comparison, this second generation is much better." Xu Zhengyang looked at the approaching stilt houses and said with emotion: "It has been upgraded from a cat's ear hole on the sea to a yurt on the sea."

 The first generation of stilt houses were made of simple bamboo and straw mats, while the second generation of stilt houses had upgraded building materials.

The bottom is still steel drills and wooden piles, but the top is replaced by a house made of iron sheets, which is larger in area. At the same time, for the convenience of observation, the side walls are polyhedral, so that from the appearance, it looks like a yurt.

The reef in front of us is composed of three yurts. The living area has been expanded a lot, but it is still very simple.

 “Look, the soldiers are gathering there!”

 Cao Yong pointed his finger at the stilt house.

 There was a circle of open space outside the three yurts. At this time, one soldier after another came out of the yurt. They stood in a row along the open space outside.

 Then, someone shouted.

"salute!"

 So, everyone raised their right hands and saluted.

Xu Zhengyang stood on the bridge of the ship and stood at attention. He solemnly raised his right hand and saluted the soldiers on the reef.

“Captain Cao, I want to go over and have a look.” Qin Tao spoke.

Although there was no such step in their mission, Qin Tao was moved by the soldiers on the opposite side. These people are the cutest people in the contemporary era!

"Well, yes, our big ship can't go through, let's let the small boat go." Cao Yong said.

As a specialized scientific research ship, it has a small boat. When necessary, the small boat can be launched for inspection. The small boat of this ship is on the top of the rear of the ship, and its position is considered special enough.

“Captain Cao, please let our ship circle around the reef a few times and map the terrain here. When we make the prefabricated reef outpost, we can also make one here.”

●The gantry crane transport ship built for Zhenhua Heavy Industry has a huge hull and a strong cargo loading capacity. If it is only used to lift the prefabricated outposts of Shuangsha Island, it will be a bit wasteful. Simply put one on each reef!

Qin Tao has made up his mind. Even if the navy does not have the budget and he gives it away for free, he must do this well. Without these soldiers guarding the border, where can there be peace and tranquility in the motherland?

In this case, the nearby seabed conditions must be carefully surveyed. After all, the ship is relatively large. If the ship chooses the wrong channel and mounts a reef and hits the bottom, it will be troublesome.

It will take a long time to build islands from the sea in the future. Now we can only make do with prefabricated houses for them to live in for this year. This sea yurt is still very primitive.

The small boat was put down, and Qin Tao and Xu Zhengyang jumped on it. Then, they carried some fresh water and food from the boat until the small boat could no longer hold it, and then they headed towards the yurt on the sea.

At this time, the soldiers in the outpost had dispersed and were planning to go back. When they saw the boat coming, they were all curious.

“Zhengyang, why did they salute our ship just now?” Qin Tao asked Xu Zhengyang.

“Because our ship is a scientific research ship and our national flag is flying on the mast, they are saluting our national flag.” Xu Zhengyang said.

 Wherever there is a national flag, that is the motherland!

"Um."

At this time, Qin Tao had always been dissatisfied that the power of the motor at the back was too small and the speed of the boat was too slow. He wished he could drive over immediately.

There are still many pillars below the outpost. It is high tide now, so the reef under the pillars cannot be exposed, and the small boat can also drive under the pillars.

However, Qin Tao was surprised to see that the soldiers on the reef actually came down wearing orange life jackets!

 The lower half of their bodies had been submerged in the sea water, and only the upper half of their bodies were exposed. They were walking on the reef like this!

“Hey, comrades, don’t come over, no!” Qin Tao couldn’t bear it anymore and shouted loudly: “We can drive over.”

 However, the people on the opposite side are still coming.

 The sound of the motor disappeared.

 “How can this be done? How can you…”

Qin Tao watched these soldiers coming and actually pushed their small boat with his hands!

They are probably afraid that the propeller of the small boat will hit the reef, so if a small boat approaches, they need to use manpower to push it?

 Plop!

Xu Zhengyang jumped into the sea water and pushed along with him.

 Qin Tao did not hesitate and jumped down too.

In May, the temperature in the southern sea was just right, and the sea water was warm. Qin Tao felt that he was stepping on something hard under his feet and felt his body swaying in the sea water.

“Mr. Qin, why are you down here too?” Xu Zhengyang was anxious.

"Why, I can't come down?" Qin Tao looked at Xu Zhengyang: "I'm going to sit on it and let the guys push it? What's the difference between this and going up the mountain in a sedan carried by an old man?"

“Mr. Qin, who is Mr. Qin?” asked the squad leader among the soldiers who came down to push the boat together.

“Mr. Qin of Mingzhou Group, who else do you know?”

"Of course I know. Last time, a 022 missile boat came over, which shocked us all. We didn't expect that there could be such a missile boat. Later, I heard that this kind of missile boat was built by Mingzhou Group and invented by Mr. Qin. , everyone is curious about what kind of person this President Qin is, and we finally met him today!"

The squad leader helped push the boat, but he couldn't free his hands to shake hands with Qin Tao. He just looked at Qin Tao with his eyes, full of admiration.

  It turned out to be because of the 022 missile boat! When this kind of missile boat was designed, it was only for operations in offshore areas. Unexpectedly, they also conducted long-distance training and came here.

Qin Tao smiled: "I am just an ordinary person. This time I came here with the Experiment 3 ship to see the territorial waters of the motherland. I saw your stilt houses here and I was very moved. You are the cutest people in this era. The greatest man."

When Qin Tao said this, the squad leader actually blushed.

While talking, the boat has been pushed under the stilt house. The height of the bamboo poles and wooden stakes is about four or five meters, and there is a wooden gangway going up and down.

At this time, ropes hung down from below, tying up the equipment in the boat, and pulled them up, one piece after another.

 Qin Tao finally stepped onto the outpost.

There are wooden boards underfoot. Year-round sun and wind have caused the paint on the wooden boards to peel off, leaving only bare traces of being stepped on. The soldiers don’t know how many times they have to walk here every day.

In addition to three yurt-like rooms, there is also an open space where the soldiers usually conduct various trainings. The space is indeed much more spacious than the stilt house in the distance.

“Woof, woof!” At this moment, a dog ran over from the other end of the reef and barked wildly at this side.

 Dogs, there are dogs here!

Qin Tao watched in surprise as the dog raced all the way, even ignoring the sharp teeth in the dog's mouth and its aggressive attitude.

 Can we keep dogs here?

 “Dahei, stop, they are guests!” the squad leader shouted quickly.

Dahei stopped obediently.

“Why are there dogs here?” Qin Tao asked.

“This dog has been brought here since it was born.” The squad leader said, “It has never seen the outside world. In its eyes, the world may look like this.”

“Yes, only a dog that has grown up here can adapt to the environment here.” Xu Zhengyang sighed: “However, it would be too pitiful if it stayed on the reef all the time.”

"Yes, we plan to take the dog away after these reef guards retire. Let him go to land and see the bigger world."

 Can we take it with us? Qin Tao stopped when he said this. After all, for these soldiers, this **** is the most important part of their lives. Qin Tao had to think carefully.

"fruit!"

“Peach, it’s so good, we haven’t had it in three months!”

 “Pineapple is also good!”

All the things were hoisted up. The soldiers opened the boxes and made excited noises when they saw the contents inside.

Their scientific research ship just set off from Huating a few days ago. Before setting off, it also brought a lot of food and fruits. This time Qin Tao came here, mainly bringing fresh fruits and fresh water, because he knew that on the islands and reefs, This is what these soldiers lack most.

It is difficult to supply supplies on the islands and reefs. It is estimated that the supply ship will only come once in a long time. Therefore, the food they store must be mainly canned. The soldiers are tired of eating, and fresh fruits are what the soldiers need most.

“Mr. Qin, on behalf of all the soldiers on our reef, I would like to thank you for your gift.”

Of course they know that Experiment 3 has no obligation to provide them with supplies. These foods were specially given to them by Mr. Qin.

"I can't talk about gifts. Our soldiers have worked too hard." Qin Tao said: "Letting everyone eat fresh fruits is a small gesture from me. In the future, as long as I have the chance, I will come again. "

 “Welcome Mr. Qin.”

“By the way, what do you think if we harden this place with cement, build a two-story building, install a generator, connect a satellite phone, and install air conditioning equipment?”

"Mr. Qin, if we can have such conditions, it would be great." The squad leader's face was full of expectations: "But it is too difficult. In recent years, it may not be possible."

“No, within half a year, things will definitely change here.” Qin Tao said.

“Half a year? Then our group of soldiers can still catch up.” The squad leader also became excited.

"The life of our reef guards will get better and better." Xu Zhengyang said: "These two-story buildings are only temporary. In the future, there will be more space for activities."

 “We?” The squad leader heard the meaning of Xu Zhengyang’s words.

“That’s right, we, I am the first generation of reef guarding officers and soldiers, and I originally lived in Maoerdong on the sea.”

“Everyone, gather together!” the squad leader shouted.

 The soldiers put down the fruits in their hands and stood in two rows.

 “Salute to our seniors!”

 (I don’t know why, but the hero of East China moved himself to tears.)

Xu Zhengyang also solemnly raised his right arm and saluted the officers and soldiers in front of him.

"I am a glorious defender of the Nansha Islands. In order to fulfill the sacred mission entrusted to me by the party and the people, I swear an oath: obey orders, obey commands,... and resolutely do so: I will live and die with the islands and reefs as long as I am with the national flag!" "

 After getting off the reef, Qin Tao felt that his heart was a little heavy.

“Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin?”

“Oh.” Qin Tao came back to his senses: “What’s wrong?”

“Mr. Qin, the entire situation around the reef has been mapped.”

 Qin Tao nodded: "Let me take a look."

 Actually, I have already touched upon it almost before, but this time it is more detailed.

“There are six places suitable for building larger permanent buildings. Considering the convenience of our large ships, there are only two.” Chen Rong took the chart and introduced it to Qin Tao.

 “Which one is the biggest?”

 “This one on the east side is as big as a football field.”

 “Okay, let’s take this one to the east.”

“But if we build such a large building, it would probably weigh thousands of tons!”

"We can do it separately. Isn't the Khrushchev Building also built separately?" Qin Tao said: "The entire base must be integrated. This base can be up to two hundred tons. The maximum lifting capacity on our ship is With five hundred tons, the structural parts can be lifted up in one go."

“Then, there is a two-story building on the front, facing north and south, guarding the country gate. The two-story building can be divided into two parts and hoisted.”

“There are a row of bungalows on the east and west sides. They serve as various functional rooms, and a library, computer room, etc. can also be built. Soldiers can also learn modern knowledge while guarding the motherland.”

“The remaining open space can be used as a basketball court, and the soldiers will have more space for activities.”

 Qin Tao made some arrangements and planned out the overall structure.

PS: I just learned that from the 28th to the 7th of next month, there will be double monthly passes. Please give me a monthly pass, please give me a monthly pass! Even though it's a holiday, we still guarantee two updates a day, with each chapter containing 6,000 words!

As for the additional update, it is expected to break out again on the 12th. It is scheduled to be about buying Varyag, which will definitely make everyone enjoy it.
