Chapter 434 The Real Purpose of the Shenzhou Floating Dock

  At the beginning, Mingzhou Shipyard was still relatively weak, and there was no large dock, so it was unable to build large ships.

  So, when Qin Tao learned that an oil tanker had washed up on the beach and ran aground, he bought the oil tanker and took people there. After several months of hard work, he forcibly turned the oil tanker into a floating dock.

Since then, this floating dock has become the largest shipbuilding platform in Mingzhou Shipyard. The first natural gas ships were all built on it. Later, there were 100,000-ton slipways and 400,000-ton docks. The floating dock is a little easier.

   But after that, the floating dock began to undertake various tasks, even including ocean transportation. The original two Kilo-class ships were transported back by the Shenzhou floating dock.

  Although semi-submersible boats are the best for this kind of work, it’s better to have something than nothing, so make do with it.

  However, these are all incidental. When Qin Tao built this floating dock, it was for today!

  The strait is very busy, and there are many ships passing by. Today, they have all seen a miracle. Even if they are veterans of sea navigation for many years, I am afraid they have never seen such a scene.

  Captain Yang Xin was extremely excited. Since the ship was built, he has been the captain. Over the years, he has performed many tasks, but the task in front of him is the first time!

   What he is going to transport this time is a 60,000 to 70,000-ton aircraft carrier!

If calculated according to the deck of the aircraft carrier, the floating dock of the Shenzhou will not be able to accommodate it. However, when this ship was designed, it has long been considered. The freeboard on both sides is not particularly high, so after driving past, it should be just right. One or two meters above the waterline of the aircraft carrier, in this way, camel transportation is more than enough.

   Moreover, for better transportation, the booms on both sides of the floating dock have been removed to avoid obstruction.

  Turkey Country has no reason to block the Shenzhou Floating Dock. In fact, since everyone is attracted by the Dongfang Sea Blockade, no one pays attention to the Shenzhou Floating Dock at all.

   After the huge floating dock was launched into the strait, it attracted the attention of relevant departments.

   By the time they responded, the Shenzhou floating dock had already moved past!

  Its huge body left the narrow Turkey Strait and entered the wide Black Sea. In the distance, you can already see the huge ships waiting.

  Qin Tao and Vitalia are already standing on the deck of the Dongfang Haicheng.

   "Qin, I knew you had already made arrangements." Vitalia said, "It's just that I didn't expect that you would use this Shenzhou floating dock."

"Yeah, I had expected that the trip to the Tuji Strait would not be smooth, so I made preparations in advance. The other party has already put forward conditions, unless our Dongfang Sea Blockade has power. Now, the power will come. Let's see what excuses they have!"

  On the shore, in the spacious office, a group of people were cursing.

"It's been tricked, we've been tricked!" Mirzaoglu walked back and forth: "Everything is just a disguise. They originally planned to use this floating dock to bring the boat back, so they deliberately Let us be anxious, let us make statements and raise conditions, now that they have met our conditions, there is no way for us to stop them!"

  It took a long time for the Shenzhou floating dock to come all the way. What does this mean? The other party started preparing months in advance!

   Now the result of the investigation, the Shenzhou floating dock has been circling in the Mediterranean Sea for more than a week! Why not go directly to the Nikolaev shipyard?

   Of course for now!

  If they came out with the Dongfang Haicheng on their backs, then Mirzaoglu and the others must have come up with other excuses, so they deliberately set up a trap and dug a trap!

  He has already stated two conditions in front of so many reporters, and now, seeing that the other party is about to do it!

"It's not easy to carry that ship on a drifting sea. Maybe they had an accident during the operation, and it's possible that both ships overturned. Or it's lifting capacity is not enough to let the ship on it The boat surfaced." At this point, even Pearson had no choice but to curse.

   "That's right, it is!" Mirzaoglu nodded.

   At sea, the huge Shenzhou floating dock began to dive.

  As the ballast tanks continued to fill with water, the hull of the Shenzhou sank and sank visibly to the naked eye.

  The water flooded its bottom plate. If it was an ordinary ship, it would sink, but for the Shenzhou, this is nothing more than normal.

  The Shenzhou is still sinking, sinking, and only the vertical bulkheads on both sides can be seen. From a distance, only the cockpit above the bulkhead can be seen.

   It headed towards the Eastern Sea Barrier.

  There are more and more ships gathered around, all watching the grand occasion at sea, and there are even a few helicopters flying over from the shores on both sides quickly, coming to shoot in the air.

"What it is?"

   "That light is strange!"

   "Laser!"

   Someone responded.

  The side of the Shenzhou issued two laser beams, which irradiated the huge ship ahead. In this way, it could adjust its orientation more precisely.

   Just like that, the two ships kept approaching, approaching, until they coincided!

   "Go on!" Someone shouted.

  The head of the Shenzhou has been inserted from the head of the Dongfang Haicheng! This is equivalent to Zhang Guolao riding a donkey backwards, but the bow is easier than the stern, so they decided to use this method to carry it.

  On the deck, Qin Tao and Vitalia watched this scene, and they were also very excited.

   "Qin, will there be any risks?" Vitalia was a little worried.

   "Of course not, throw down the rope!" Qin Tao shouted loudly.

  At this time, all the people who stayed on the Dongfang Sea Blockade had also taken action. They stood on both sides of the ship and threw the cable down.

  The cable fell accurately on both sides of the floating dock below. On the floating dock, someone took the cable and quickly tied it to the floating dock.

  This operation amazed the onlookers.

  The sea water is shaking, and the floating dock and the Shenzhou are also shaking. Therefore, during the loading process, there will be danger at any time.

  At this time, the ropes on both sides are tied up, and the lateral movement of the two sides is the same.

  However, the overlapping length of the two sides is less than 50 meters!

   Now it’s tied up, how to move it next?

   "Are they going to fix it like this, and then directly use the power of the floating dock?" On the tugboat Nikola Chickel, who was watching the excitement, Iris watched for a long time, and then came to a conclusion.

  Anyway, as long as the power is provided for this big ship, it is enough to tie it up and have power, then it can meet the request of Mirza Oulu!

   Speaking of making things difficult for the native chickens, the big guys are very angry. Now, seeing the floating dock of the Mingzhou Group come to solve the problem, they also feel very happy.

   "Why is it still moving?" At this moment, the person next to him shouted: "Smart, really smart! I didn't expect there to be such a way!"

Of course, the floating dock will not only transport a length of tens of meters by camel, it is necessary to stuff all the Dongfang Haicheng into it. After all, these two ships are not low in tonnage and have a lot of inertia.

How to do it?

   Of course, you must quickly fix a part first, and fix the overlapped part to keep them consistent in the horizontal direction.

   But vertically, it’s okay to move on!

  So, here comes the genius idea: the part where the rope is fixed is installed on the slide rail, which can slide along the direction of the ship axis on both sides of the floating dock!

   Just like that, the floating dock was first moved for an overlapping distance of 50 meters, then fixed, and continued to move forward for 50 meters, and then fixed. One-third of the length of the Dongfang Haidu City has been fixed!

   Of course, the next step will be more secure. After all, the most difficult thing is the front, and there will be no problems in the back!

  The Shenzhou floating dock continued to move forward, and the overlapping parts exceeded half of the captain.

  The crowd watching all around opened their eyes wide, watching the unbelievable scene.

   "Oriental, so smart!"

   "That's right, it perfectly solved the problem of camel transportation at sea!"

   "If you encounter an accident in the future, you can ask Mingzhou Group for help. Their technology is the most exquisite!"

   This action was a live advertisement for the Shenzhou floating dock and the Mingzhou Group behind it, and then received a lot of transportation business one after another, which can be regarded as an unexpected harvest.

  Finally, the two ships completely merged together!

  The Shenzhou was originally quite huge, but now it looks like a child. Above it stands a giant with a rust color.

  The ship sides on both sides of the floating dock, just under the buttocks of the Dongfang Sea Blockade, look so pocket-sized.

  The most exciting moment has arrived!

   "Vertical fixation!" Yang Xin shouted loudly.

   After being fixed vertically, the two ships become a whole!

   "Start pumping!"

  The floating dock was loaded with seawater before it went down. Now that the seawater is pumped out, it can float.

   "Is it buoyant enough?" Iris was a little worried. If the buoyancy is not enough, it will not be able to hunch the Dongfang Sea Blockade. If it is not hunched, it will not work!

   "It's definitely no problem. They came prepared, and they must have made complete preparations. I have counted how many times."

  The sea water was surging, and the hull of the Shenzhou floating dock slowly rose, rising, and the steel friction made a creaking sound, which sounded so clear.

   "Get up, get up!"

   In the eyes of everyone, the Dongfang Maritime Blockade is rising little by little. The speed is not very fast, but it is very stable.

  The parts of the hull kept appearing in front of everyone's eyes, and everyone's eyes became meaningful again.

  Who said this ship can still be an aircraft carrier? Isn't this bullshit? Not only is the surface rusty, but the water is even more serious! The dense things on it will definitely make goose bumps all over the body of patients with intensive disorder fear.

  The part below the waterline is full of barnacles.

   "If it is used as a sea blockade, it will be fine, but if it is used as a warship, it will take a lot of effort to shovel barnacles!"

   "That's right, maybe after shoveling it off, I found that the bottom of the boat was also leaking!"

  Countless people were amazed, and one of the watching helicopters sent back the captured images simultaneously.

  Pearson's face was ugly.

  It is quite dangerous to directly connect to ships at sea, and he is still a big guy. He thought that he would fail in all likelihood, but now he succeeded, which made Pearson extremely annoyed.

   "This shows that they have made preparations in advance. For this project, they have prepared for at least half a year. Therefore, there must be problems, and they must not be allowed to pass!" Pearson's attitude became more determined.

   Mirza Oulu's face was also very ugly. He didn't expect that the opponent actually played such a hand in the sea, and the difficult operation became so simple.

what's next?

  People will definitely ask for approval again.

  The ship is already a civilian ship. With the floating dock camel transportation, the power problem has been solved. What excuses can they use?

   "Mr. Mirzaoglu, the superior wants you to go to a meeting."

   Then, Mirzaoru frowned and headed to the meeting room.

   There are already a lot of people sitting inside.

  When he saw Kaviri Kelu sitting there, Mirzaoru couldn’t help striding over: “Hey, what are you doing? How can you help the Easterners?”

"We're not helping the Orientals, we're doing it for ourselves." Kaviri Kelu said, "We can get more benefits by doing this. If the Americans can give us an aircraft carrier for free, complete with a batch of If there is a chance, we will stand firmly on their side."

   "What dream are you doing? Even if it is **** Britain, it is impossible to get an aircraft carrier from the United States." Mirzaoglu said.

   "So we have to go our own way, we are independent, not puppets, Mirzaoglu, you should also have your own opinions."

"Okay, stop arguing, let's have a meeting now!" The host above said: "Now, there is a lot of noise about the Dongfang Sea Blockade incident, and we have to come up with a decision. Hurry up, otherwise, then The ship is going to pass."

"We've already stepped up to see that ship. It's impossible for the ship to be used for military purposes. The inside is worse than the outside. By the way, we've seen it being transported by camels. The bottom of the ship is full of barnacles. It's funny." Kaviri Kelu expressed his attitude: "So, we suggest to let it go, there is no need to offend Moscow because of such a ship."

In the eyes of Kai Weirui Kelu, the ship has no possibility of continuing to sail. It can only be moored at the pier as a blockade at sea. The daughter of a big man in Moscow plans to go to the east to open a blockade. Why do you want to block it? Offending others, what good is there?

   This is the opinion of Kaviri Kelu, and his opinion also represents the opinion of a group of people behind him.

   "No, we must not let them pass!" Mirzaoglu shouted: "They have been preparing for this for several months, or even longer. There must be a bigger conspiracy. We cannot let the tiger go back to the mountain!"

   "Then what reason do you use?" Kaviri Kelu smiled and looked at Mirzaoglu: "Have you forgotten what you said in front of the reporter? They already have motivation!"

  What you said must always count!

   "Even if there is motivation, it may not be safe." Mirzaoglu said: "In order to avoid danger, we have to ask them to provide a security deposit!"

  This guy is clever enough to think of such a bad move, and after thinking it out, he can still be accepted by the people present.

   "The deposit is one billion dollars, and once it is delivered to us, it can only be taken away after two years."

  The person above nodded with satisfaction: "I think it's okay."

  If you want to live, you can pay a security deposit, so that if you cause any losses, you will have nowhere to find someone to pay for it. First, you will give one billion, and you will have to deposit it for two years.

   Two years from now? The official in charge at that time is no longer there, and even if the money was spent, they couldn't find anyone to pay for it even if they were a Green Creation Company.

  There were pairs of greedy eyes on the scene.

  Even Kaviri Kelu didn't object.

   On the surface of the Black Sea, there were bursts of applause and cheers, and everyone was feeling emotional for this successful sea operation.

  Qin Tao was also very emotional: "Okay, it's a big step forward."

  Every step forward is one step closer to returning home!

   "Qin, can we drive there next?"

   "Of course." Qin Tao said: "Please continue to towing the tugboat Nikolai-Chikel, so that we can go faster, and take this opportunity to drive across the strait!"

   Now the loading operation has been completed and the request of Mirza Oulu has been met, so now the other party has no excuses, so take advantage of this opportunity and drive over in one go!

Although on the floating dock, the speed of the floating dock is too slow. If you want to finish this section of the road as soon as possible, you have to rely on tugboats to tow in front, and even, not only this strait, but also the way back to the country, you have to continue Hire this tugboat.

  Anyway, when the contract was signed, it was dragged all the way to the East.

   "Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin!" At this moment, Xu Zhengyang ran over from the ship island: "We just received a radio from the native chicken."

   "Really? What did they say?"

"They congratulated us on successfully adding a power system to the Dongfang Sea Blockade, but they were still worried and asked us to provide a guarantee of one billion dollars before they would let us go." Xu Zhengyang said to Qin Tao: "And, even if it is us If it is passed safely, the deposit will still be returned to us after two years.”

   "What? How could they be so shameless?" Vitalia said.

"When you can't believe how shameless a person can be, he will definitely show you how shameless he is." Qin Tao said: "Now, our strength is not strong enough, so we can only use ingenuity to solve this matter." It seems that we have to go back to the land, where we can expose the shamelessness of the Turks."

  Vitalia nodded. From the beginning to the end, Qin Tao has always been full of confidence, which also gave Vitalia great encouragement. She believed that Qin Tao would be able to solve these problems!

  The northern part of the Tuji Strait belongs to the European part, and it is more prosperous here. Among them, the Pella district with the longest history stands the famous Pera Palace Hotel.

  The hotel was built by the French Ottoman architect Alexander Vallaury in 1892. Neoclassicism, Art Nouveau and Oriental styles are fully reflected. There is also a magnificent view of the Golden Horn nearby, and there are a lot of shopping centers.

  However, after staying in the hotel here, Vitalia did not enjoy life, but held a press conference that afternoon.

   "In some countries, because of the inherent advantages of geographical location, can they do whatever they want? Can they just bully others?" Vitalia was angry, facing the reporter, she was domineering.

"The Strait of Istanbul belongs to the whole world. Any civilian vessel has the right to pass for free. If someone wants to set up a road card here and ask for a toll, that is a blatant challenge to the basic order of the world! This is different from the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal." , this place belongs to the whole world!"

"Our Chuanglv Company bought an empty shell ship and wanted to tow it back to transform it into a sea blockade, but we were rudely made things difficult here!" Vitalia said: "We are very cooperative. First of all, We proved that our ship is for civilian use, and secondly, we met the requirements of Mr. Mirzaoglu and installed a power system on the ship, that is, we put it on the floating dock, which is equivalent to One piece of cargo that passes through the strait is the Shenzhou Floating Dock!"

"Who would have thought that the shameless Mirza Oulu would ask for a guarantee deposit of one billion dollars. The most shameless thing is that even if we pass through the strait safely, the deposit will be returned to us in two years. What is this? This is taking advantage of the fire! This is occupying a geographical location and blatantly interfering with international norms!"

  The reporters are very excited, this news is absolutely explosive!

   It is indeed a bit too much for the chicken people to play like this. They have clearly promised that as long as they have the motivation, they can pass, but now they want a billion dollar deposit, and they have to pay it back in two years.

   This eating looks too ugly!

"The tugboats that our company currently rents are paid 10,000 U.S. dollars per day. Every day we pass, we will lose 10,000 U.S. dollars, and the delay in the modification of the offshore blockade, one day less business, is at least a loss of more than 1 million U.S. dollars. During this period of time, our company has lost tens of millions, but the greedy people are still not satisfied, and our company will never compromise! We will fight to the end, and we will seek compensation from the Straits Management Department! We believe that , this world is reasonable!"

  Because of being blocked maliciously, the Green Creation Company suffered huge losses. Now, the person in charge of the Green Creation Company is already angry, and the consequences are very serious!

  This matter is being broadcast in newspapers and on TV.

   After all, this time the chicken man looks too ugly!

  In the hotel, after the press conference was over, Vitalia returned to the room and said to Qin Tao with a smile: "Mr. Qin, how is it? Did I perform well today?"

  Qin Tao nodded: "That's right, that's it. We want to completely discredit their reputation. Moreover, we are justified when it comes to the international scene."

   "What if they refuse to bow their heads because of public opinion?" Vitalia asked.

   "Then we still have a plan."

   This last move is somewhat unreliable, and the consequences are very serious. Therefore, if it is not a last resort, Qin Tao will not use it.

  However, the rabbit bites when it is in a hurry. Speaking of playing some bad moves, Qin Tao is still very good.

  Boom boom!

   Just then, there was a knock on the door.

  Xu Zhengyang glanced through the cat's eyes: "It's Timmermans, with a few people."

   "Well, let him in."
