Chapter 99, Safe Navigation Alliance
After collecting the test papers and reviewing the results in class, Grant was indeed at the bottom again. However, Grant was quite satisfied with his results, because even though he solved one of the formation analysis questions, he failed to solve the second one.
, but that was entirely because Lin Qiusheng did not allow him to use a calculator, which caused his calculation speed to be too slow and he did not have time to complete it. In fact, his problem-solving ideas were not a big problem. The first and second steps did not go astray.
Although the third step is a bit off, the problem it brings only greatly increases the amount of calculation. It is not impossible to get the correct answer. If you can use a calculator, maybe you can... before the time comes,
Write down a few more steps and divide them into more steps.
After finishing the exam, Lin Qiusheng returned to his room, connected to the satellite again, and sent a vibration message to Li Zheng. Li Zheng immediately responded with a message: "Brother Lin, are you free now?"
"I just read the information you gave me. The situation is very serious. If the pace of world change continues at this rate, the cost and risk of shipping will increase significantly. This will be a fatal blow to world trade." Lin
Qiu Sheng said.
"It is true for ordinary countries, but it may not be true for us." Li Zheng replied, "The Order Academy has shielding formations. Although it will definitely not be able to deceive those high-level demon gods in the future, at least it is currently used to deal with ordinary natives.
The sea monsters are still useful. But the data on various sea monsters we have is still not enough. Tomorrow afternoon, which according to your time will be the early morning of the day after tomorrow, we will hold a press conference to disclose all the sea monsters we have.
information, and announced that it would launch an organization called the 'Safe Navigation Alliance'. Countries joining the organization will share the information they have about sea monsters and some corresponding technical measures, and jointly coordinate escort..."
Lin Qiusheng could understand this approach after just a brief thought. As the world's largest industrial country, HX is no less dependent on shipping than the United States. Nowadays, HX's monsters and ghosts are basically controlled by the Imperial Academy and its
The brother units are so suppressed that they dare not move, but things are different at sea. If there is a problem at sea, HX will probably be as anxious as the United States.
"We also hope that the United States can take the initiative to join this alliance. After all, if the U.S. Navy can join, it can still play a very important role in maintaining shipping routes in the Pacific." Li Zheng continued, "Your current asylum
The United States is very profitable, and money in the United States is political influence. We hope you can use this political influence. Of course, we will not let you work for nothing. We can pay you with money or technology.
In addition, you also know that because the old merchant ships are too slow, they must rely on fleet escort to have a certain degree of safety. Therefore, in the future, the construction of high-speed merchant ships will be a big business. If the United States joins this alliance, we can let relevant companies
Being listed in the United States allows some people who are enthusiastic about the shipping industry to contribute to the development of the world's shipping industry."
Lin Qiusheng understands this. Now, HX's shipbuilding capabilities are second to none in the world. If all the merchant ships in the world have to be replaced, and the time is still so tight, then this business is not ours?
"According to your estimates, the sea monster's speed has reached thirty-five knots. For a merchant ship to be so fast, the cost will be sky-high. Does anyone buy this kind of merchant ship?" Lin Qiusheng asked again.
"It doesn't need to be that fast. As long as the sea monster is found farther away, it is enough to run more than 20 knots. After all, the sea monster's 35 knots is just a sprint speed. It is difficult for them to maintain such a speed continuously. And on the merchant ship
By adding some concealment formations and reducing the distance at which the sea monster can detect it, you can ensure safety..."
Li Zheng said some more things, but what he was most concerned about was getting the United States to join the "Safe Navigation Alliance."
"Is there any way to exclude Europe from this system?" Lin Qiusheng asked.
This question came with bad intentions, but Li Zheng on the other side understood what he meant instantly. If this system excludes Europe, the restoration of the King of Hosts' influence on North America will be slowed down.
"Of course we will exclude Europe." Li Zheng replied, "Isn't it enough to have a railway system between us and Europe? What benefits does shipping between Europe and the United States bring to us? Of course, the United States may want to
Europe pulled in, but it was useless. Neither Europe nor the United States had enough shipbuilding capabilities. If they wanted to ensure the safety of the route, they could only rely on naval escort. The Europeans' current navy relies on their ships that leak water when walking.
A warship? Haha..."
"Will the U.S. Navy help them escort?" Lin Qiusheng said.
"There are so many fleets and the escort mission is so heavy. The U.S. fleet is now queuing up for ship repairs. How can we support them?"
After ending the call with Li Zheng, Lin Qiusheng thought of Mr. Brown's nephew Ralph again, so he immediately hung up the phone to Ralph again.
The phone rang for a long time before someone answered it. Ralph's sleepy voice came from the phone. It was obvious that he was woken up by the phone:
"Lin, it's so late. What's the matter with you calling me?"
"Ralph, I remember you said you were shorting shipping? Now I have two pieces of news, both of which may have a certain impact on the market. I think you might be interested."
"What's the news?" Ralph's voice on the phone immediately became energetic, "Oh, wait a minute. Oh, it's a business matter, sweetheart, just go back to sleep, I'll go out and make a phone call."
Then the sound of getting out of bed, a woman's dissatisfied muttering, the sound of slippers walking on the floor and the sound of the door opening came from the receiver.
After a while, Ralph's voice came again on the phone: "Lin, what news did you get?"
"Do you still remember the sudden turn of the plane we encountered in the morning?" Lin Qiusheng said, "A fishing boat sank due to a sea monster attack. It was a sea monster similar to Kraken, the Norwegian Kraken. Of course,
It's definitely not that big. After that, U.S. Navy planes and helicopters launched an attack on it, and the results of the attack are unknown. I can't tell you the source of the information, but it is absolutely reliable."
"Well, I knew it was going to be like this," said Ralph. The news made him very happy, because such a thing cannot be hidden for a long time, and once it is revealed, it will definitely cause a frenzy in the sailing market.
fall.
"Where's the other news?" said Ralph.
"HX has developed technology similar to our shelters against sea monsters. They can provide protection to commercial ships. Based on this, they may propose to establish a new navigation organization. They may announce it soon.
This news." Lin Qiusheng said.
"Hell, we didn't keep our confidentiality well, and our technical secrets were stolen by them?" said Ralph.
"On the contrary, Ralph. In fact, many of our technologies were obtained from them. In these aspects, their research is far ahead of ours." Lin Qiusheng said, "I want to know,
If they announce such a plan, how will the US government react? Will they join this organization? Well, let me tell you about this organization..."
Lin Qiusheng then told Ralph about the relevant situation of this safe navigation alliance.
"Theoretically, the United States should join. In fact, due to various domestic troubles recently, the government has been under a lot of pressure. In fact, it has long wanted to relax with them. It's just that the Republican Party hopes that it would be best to wait until after the election.
, and then it’s up to them. But if people in the industry talk to them more, I think there is still a certain degree of cooperation. I need to discuss this matter with my uncle. Didn’t you tell him? "
"Not yet. He is old. Waking him up by phone in the middle of the night is not good for his cardiovascular and cerebrovascular conditions. But I will call him after daybreak." Lin Qiusheng replied.
"He's probably not sleeping yet," said Ralph. "You don't know him, but his sleep schedule has never been normal. He goes to bed in the middle of the night and in the morning. Well, I'll call him right away."
There will be another update in the evening.
