Great warships

Chapter 788 Doing Two Major Events Together
"With helicopters and even tiltrotors, our navy's shortcomings are almost filled." On the way back, Wu Shengli said to Qin Tao with emotion.

The two of them came to see the helicopter just out of curiosity, and they didn't need to stay here for too long, and they couldn't provide more guidance. It was enough to leave professional matters to professional people.

It is not the first time for Wu Shengli to see a helicopter, but this time he is very excited. He has already seen the prospect that this helicopter will be developed and equipped with the navy soon.

"Has the navy's shortcomings been filled?" Qin Tao smiled.

"Is not it?"

"Basically, the technical shortcomings have been filled, and the next step is quantity." Qin Tao said: "To build a powerful navy, there is a long way to go. The current strength of the navy is not enough to show I went to see it."

"Quantity? Don't worry about this, and the superior will not treat us badly. This time, the old leader has also spoken. In the next few years, it will be our navy's turn to storm."

"President Qin, I just received a message." At this moment, Xu Zhengyang interrupted.

"what news?"

"The lighthouse in the southern sea has been built."

"Really? This is really good news!" Wu Shengli immediately became excited: "Old Wang and the others are moving very fast, let's go and have a look together!"

Wu Shengli was full of expectations, but then Qin Tao threw cold water on him.

"Dad, what are you doing there?" Qin Tao said, "Isn't it just to build a lighthouse? If you go there with great fanfare, won't you be suspected?"

Wu Shengli's fiery heart cooled down, yes, if he only built a lighthouse and ran over by himself, he would definitely be suspected, so let's forget it.

"Okay, then I won't go."

"Xiaoling and I will go there, just take a look on your behalf."

"Why can't I go, but you and Xiaoling can?" Wu Shengli was a little dissatisfied.

"We are a non-governmental force. Xiaoling and I often travel there. Moreover, we have not developed Shuangsha Island enough. We need to develop more islands. Therefore, let's go to Chigua Island to see if there is any problem. ?"

"Okay, it's all your reasoning." Wu Shengli said, "Then you go."

"Besides, we have more important things to do on the island." After Qin Tao finished speaking, he glanced at Xu Zhengyang.

The energetic Xu Zhengyang blushed for the first time.

"what's up?"

"A wedding to Secretary Xu."

Wu Shengli looked at Xu Zhengyang, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood: "That's right, it's time for a wedding. Secretary Xu should have gotten married a long time ago. It has been delayed all these years. Fortunately, with your help, I found it." Good match."

"It's not that we help. I originally wanted to help, but in the end it almost didn't help. This happiness was won by Secretary Xu himself."

"President Qin, stop talking, and then I should..."

"What should you do? Be shy? You'll be shy too? Besides, you have to get used to it now, or you won't be able to get used to it when it's time for wedding ceremony."

In Guadalcanal, there is only one season in a year, which is summer. The temperature here is high all year round. No matter what sunscreen you wear, you will get tanned.

He Qian became a black girl on the island, but this did not affect her appearance. Black is still healthy. She has been busy on the island these days, watching the construction team go to the island, watching various Buildings emerged from the underwater reef, gradually getting bigger, and within a few days, the lighthouse was built.

The progress of this construction is so fast, it is unbelievable!
She was looking up at the lighthouse that had been built, and there was a roar in the distance. It was still a familiar ground-effect aircraft, which fell into the water at a long distance, and then slid to this side.

Thinking of something, He Qian's pretty face flushed slightly, and then she took big steps and ran towards the pier.

"This is our Eastern Speed. We are serious about infrastructure construction." Qin Tao said excitedly, looking at the erected lighthouse.

"Yes, Mr. Qin, our construction progress is very fast, which has greatly exceeded our expectations. It is precisely because of this that the outside world has no doubts. They only think that we are building a lighthouse." Wang Dazhong followed Qin Tao. , said to him.

As long as it becomes a fait accompli, those people will stare blankly and have nothing to do, but how to get a fait accompli, just one word: fast, so fast that others can't react, in their eyes, this is making a lighthouse , In such a short period of time, besides building a lighthouse, can anything else be built?
"What do you mean, we are building a lighthouse?" After Qin Tao finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at the towering lighthouse: "According to our plan, it should be 50 meters long, right?"

"Yes, it is a 50-meter lighthouse. At sea, in the absence of smoke, it can be seen from [-] nautical miles away. It stands here, and it is easier to indicate the route to sailors at sea."

Originally during the construction, it was planned to configure a 4.5-meter lantern with a lighting distance of 22 nautical miles. However, during the construction process, the most advanced light source was used. Under the same power, the lighting distance is longer.

"This is our East's contribution to world shipping." Qin Tao is very proud: "Next, let's go to the control room to have a look."

Qin Tao and He Qian who ran over from the opposite side nodded and left. He Qian also smiled and then looked at Xu Zhengyang who came down from above.

"Brother Zhengyang, are you here?"

"Well, here I am."

The four eyes met, and all they saw was endless joy.

"Okay, don't be so sentimental, this is not a matter of a day or two, Xiaoqian, Zhengyang said that you want to hold a special wedding on Chigua Island, so I will use all the wedding equipment Bring it here, call someone to move it!"

Of course, Zhao Ling was indispensable for this kind of thing, she was the last to come up, and at the same time, she was holding a huge flower basket in her hand, which was one of the wedding supplies.

It has never been held on the island where the station is stationed. At most, the newlyweds go to the island after marriage, and let the woman visit the place where her husband lives and works. That's right, there were no women on the island before, so the woman was brought to the island. It's so shabby for a wedding.

It's different now, there are female soldiers on the island, and the female soldiers ask to get married on the island, which has more important commemorative significance.

However, in He Qian's mind, she didn't plan to make a big splash, she just wanted to hold a simple wedding, but Zhao Ling disagreed and organized it for them herself.

Xu Zhengyang and Qin Tao have been together for a long time, and they have always been loyal. They are both caring secretary and brave bodyguard. At critical times, they even have to block bullets for Qin Tao. Now that he is getting married, Zhao Ling is his best friend. How can the close family members not handle it well for him?

He Qian glanced inside, then stuck out her tongue in surprise, so many?
The whole ground effect aircraft is going to be filled!
"Secretary Zhao, how can this be done? This is too much."

"Not many, this is the first batch, and there is the second batch." Zhao Ling said: "We Mingzhou Group people can't be too simple to get married, but there are still some that we can't bring, such as our President Qin I bought a car for you young couple, but it can’t be transported here, it can only be placed on land, and you can use it when you go back. However, the car keys are brought here for you, and there will be a ceremony when the time comes.”

car?

It’s only the late 90s, and private cars haven’t been widely used yet. Even if there are, they are small QQ-class cars. At this time, He Qian looked at the key in Zhao Ling’s hand, and the red flag on it was shining brightly. , this car is definitely worth a lot of money.

"No, Secretary Zhao, it's too expensive." He Qian shook her head again and again, then looked at Xu Zhengyang: "Brother Zhengyang, you and Mr. Qin still have Secretary Zhao talk about it, let's get married and keep everything simple. What I like is You are not a fortune."

Xu Zhengyang had no choice but to say, "Xiaoqian, of course I think it's too much fanfare, but there's no other way. Everything should be arranged by Secretary Zhao."

On the other side, Qin Tao and Wang Dazhong were still walking forward on Chigua Island, along a small path that surfaced in the direction of the lighthouse.

The lighthouse is not adjacent to the Chigua Island resident, but separated by a certain distance. A road is paved for this distance, so you don’t need to walk across it. Anyway, the area of ​​the reef below is also very large, so you can change it as you like.

There is a control room next to the lighthouse, which is two floors high, and outsiders can't see any way out, except that the control room is relatively large, but in fact, there is another mystery inside.

The experimental [-]-megawatt high-temperature gas-cooled reactor stayed there quietly, waiting for others to visit. This building was built on land and then transported directly, so the outside world did not know what was inside.

"There is no nuclear material yet, so this high-temperature gas-cooled reactor cannot be operated yet, but we are ready. When the couple gets married, we will also ignite it here at the same time. It is a double blessing."

There must be a ceremony for the start of this kind of project, but it's a pity that there can't be much fanfare here, so we simply use the marriage of Xu Zhengyang and He Qian to do it.

Qin Tao nodded: "That's right, double happiness, we will set off a lot of firecrackers and fireworks at that time, even if the chimney here is smoking in the future, it can be said that it was caused by the firing."

Just for the sake of Xu Zhengyang's marriage, Qin Tao has to make a big deal of it, but if it is done together with the ignition of the nuclear reactor, it will be more meaningful.

While sending wedding supplies to Xu Zhengyang, you can also send the materials needed for the nuclear reactor along with it. While sending guests to the wedding ceremony to Xu Zhengyang, you can also send the staff of the nuclear power plant. This will not cause any trouble. Suspect.

Standing on the top of the second floor, Qin Tao looked outside, and the waves were crashing against the reef, making a crashing sound.

"How are security issues resolved?"

"During the construction, a trench was dug outside. If someone wants to walk over, they will definitely be found. At the same time, on the top of the lighthouse, we installed a camera to monitor the surroundings constantly during the day and night."

"night?"

"That's right, the lighthouse's light is strong enough to illuminate the surrounding area. Moreover, we have pre-arranged the anti-infantry radar on the lighthouse. Because this will emit electromagnetic waves, it will only be activated when the situation is tense."

Qin Tao nodded.

For nuclear power plants, the safety issue is the most important. This safety includes two aspects: the normal operation of the system without failure; the interference of external forces, what if someone wants to sabotage and blow up the nuclear reactor to create a crisis?

Look at France, a major nuclear power country. Once there is any situation in the country, the first thing to do is to send troops to protect the nuclear power plant, because they are afraid of any accidents. For their own side, this place is far away from the mainland, so security work is even more important.

However, there is no need to talk about the tiger changing color. After everything is ready, do what you want. You don’t have to resist nuclear power blindly like some countries. As a result, there is an energy crisis. If you want to eat pasta, you are advised by experts Do not boil, soak directly in water.

For islands far away from the mainland, nuclear power plants are a better choice. They do not need to transport a large amount of fuel like diesel engines, nor do they need to provide electricity that is too low to drive air-conditioning equipment like solar and wind power. A [-]-megawatt nuclear power plant , enough to meet the needs of all islands and reefs in the entire southern waters.

"Has the cable been laid?" Qin Tao continued to ask.

"After laying, we use a special cable with an extra layer of steel plate on the outside. Even if an anchor is thrown down, the cable will not be damaged. Moreover, our dredger is also covered with a layer of sand along the way. , should be able to guarantee the use of 50 to 100 years."

After all, Gua Island has not been developed yet. It is relatively hidden, and it is a good place to build a nuclear power plant. However, the electricity generated by Gua Island still needs to be transmitted to other islands. It is most suitable to lay underwater transmission lines. Way.

"At present, only cables are the most suitable for power transmission. In the future, we will have laser power transmission technology, and we can use lasers to transmit power."

"Laser power transmission?" Wang Dazhong shook his head: "Laser has strong directionality and concentrated energy, and a large amount of energy can be carried by using laser. Therefore, a relatively long-distance power transmission can be achieved with a small transmission power. However, there are many problems in laser power transmission." Solve, for example, in the atmosphere, the attenuation of the laser is serious, and the most important thing is that there should be nothing blocking the laser link. If there are birds or even planes flying into it, it will be a big problem Yes. This kind of technology is more like science fiction."

It's like the ground-effect aircraft flying back and forth between the various islands now. If it gets in the middle of the laser beam, it will probably be vaporized directly.

The technology of laser power transmission has been proposed long ago, but it is difficult to implement, after all, there are too many problems.

Qin Tao also extracted a concept from the memory of later generations. After the development of space technology, many people imagined space power stations. After all, there is no atmosphere, and the working efficiency of solar panels will be very high. If the orbit is suitable, even more It will not be affected by the alternation of day and night, and there is a lot of time for generating electricity, which can be said to be very suitable.

However, there is a problem with solar power generation in space: transmission, the power station on the ground, can be done directly through cables, what about space?What does a power station in space rely on to transmit electricity?There are only two kinds of laser and microwave. Many people are very interested in laser transmission, thinking that this transmission method can solve the problem satisfactorily.

Now, Qin Tao knows that the suggestion he made is still too advanced!People nowadays look at this kind of technology, just like watching science fiction.

"Well, that's science fiction. However, human technology is constantly improving. What we think of as science fiction now may become reality in the future." Qin Tao said: "For example, our Baidi Airplane."

Wang Dazhong pushed his glasses and nodded vigorously: "That's right, indeed, the Baidi Aerospace plane came out and shocked us all. We really look forward to going to space at a low cost in the future and traveling in space."

Scientists also need to go to space, and they can do many things in the gravity-free environment of space. Now, after hearing what Qin Tao said, Wang Dazhong is also full of expectations.

By the time the two of them came out of the control room, eating melon island had changed a lot.

Rows of folding chairs were placed on the open space where the soldiers used to train. The two sides of the channel left in the center of the chairs are filled with sunflowers, forming a flower channel. In front is the rostrum that was built. , with flowers wrapped around it.

This should be the venue for the wedding ceremony.

"Boss Qin, it costs a lot to transport these things from the mainland." Luo Dahai was organizing people to carry them, and when he saw Qin Tao coming, he said with emotion.

"Yes, but we don't plan to move back. After the ceremony is over, these things will be removed and put in your warehouse. In the future, when it comes to the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival, our Mingzhou Group will pay for the organization of the Heart-to-Heart Art The troupe comes here to perform, and then we can build the stage and stands." Qin Tao said.

Luo Dahai looked at Qin Tao gratefully: "Boss Qin, let's connect the electricity. After we have a TV, we can just watch CCTV's evening show. It doesn't cost so much."

"This is not possible. You are defending the country and guarding the border. Of course, we want to make your life more colorful. There will be sufficient power supply soon. The life of our soldiers will be better. This is not the pursuit of enjoyment, but to meet the most basic life. It’s just necessary, by the way, is the seawater desalination device installed?”

Compared with the lack of electricity, the lack of fresh water resources is more important here. Not every island can have a fresh water lens effect. Fresh water is produced on the Great Wall of Sand. The fresh water transported from the mainland is too expensive, so you still have to make it yourself. .

Desalination of seawater requires electricity, and a large part of the electricity of the power station that will be put into use will be used to desalinate seawater.

"Well, it was installed a few days ago." Luo Dahai said: "When there is enough fresh water, we can plant more sunflowers."

Sunflower is a kind of tenacious flower that can bloom on islands and reefs in the South China Sea, but it still needs fresh water.

Even if you don’t use water directly, you can use the water from washing rice and washing vegetables to irrigate, and the sunflowers will bloom.

"You just want to grow sunflowers? Sure enough, the islands and reefs with female soldiers are different. On other islands and reefs, they are thinking about opening up vegetable fields."

Luo Dahai suddenly smiled, that's right, why did he only think about planting flowers?
The cheerful laughter of the female soldiers came from a distance.

Dormitory for female soldiers.

He Qian sat in front of the stool, facing a small mirror in front of her. Behind her, a professional makeup artist from outside was doing her hair.

This era is very popular. Before the bride gets married, she must dress herself up beautifully. The white wedding dress has already been hung on the hanger beside her, waiting for her to wear it.

Many people used to struggle with whether to put on the wedding dress or to wear the head first. If you wear the wedding dress first, you may damage your hairstyle. If you wear the wedding dress first, you cannot lie down and you can only sit. It is really tiring.

When a woman is married, she is the happiest and also the most tired.

"It's so beautiful to be a bride, and I want to be a bride too."

"You only joined the army last year, so you don't have the qualifications to be a bride. You are not allowed to fall in love during the recruit period."

"Hmph, I said in the future, not now. Sister Qian is so beautiful. Sister Qian, if I were a man, I would want to marry you."

"You? You don't have an excellent brother-in-law. He is from the Mingzhou Group and a veteran of the early start-up business. Back then, he traveled all over the country with Mr. Qin, and he was full of courage."

"Hey, don't make trouble like this, okay? Don't you want to get married?"

"think."

He Qian looked in the mirror, and listened to the chatter of other female soldiers, but gradually frowned.

The door creaked, and Zhao Ling, who was busy making arrangements outside, came in. Seeing He Qian's expression, she was a little curious: "Qian'er, what's the matter? You're going to get married soon, so you're not happy?"

"Sister, I, I, I don't want to wear a wedding dress." He Qian summoned up her courage and said.

This title is very subtle. Xu Zhengyang is actually older than Qin Tao. If he were to be called by the man, He Qian should be called Zhao Ling's younger brother and sister. Tao is young, so she can be called sister-in-law, but in the end she chose to call her elder sister, and it would be impossible to call her secretary Zhao. She is too busy to call her secretary Zhao.

Zhao Ling's complexion suddenly changed, what does it mean that she doesn't want to wear a wedding dress?Don't want to get married?This He Qian wants to regret the marriage?This is absolutely not possible. It was so easy to find a partner for Xu Zhengyang, but at the end of the day, his wife ran away?

It's embarrassing to spread the word, and it's still Mingzhou Group's face.

"Why? Are you a little afraid of getting married? Don't worry, life after marriage is the same as before marriage. If Brother Zhengyang bullies you, tell me and I will support you. "

"No, no." He Qian shook her head again and again: "Of course I am not afraid of getting married. I have been waiting for this day in my dreams. Now, I just don't want to wear a wedding dress."

Seeing Zhao Ling's puzzled eyes, He Qian continued, "I think I'm still suitable for wearing a military uniform."

The entire grand wedding was arranged by Zhao Ling, so He Qian hesitated, not wanting to make Zhao Ling unhappy, but Zhao Ling misunderstood.Does she really don't want to wear a wedding dress, or does she think she should wear a military uniform more? For a soldier, it makes more sense to get married in a military uniform.

"This, you should have said it earlier." Zhao Ling said: "Marriage is the most important event in your life, you can wear whatever you want."
