Lin Liang shook his head excitedly: "No, no, Mr. Qin, you are the number one, I am just one of your subordinates."
Qin Tao smiled: "I already have a lot of halos above my head. I don't care about this small title. For you, this title is worthy of the name. Please don't refuse."
Wu Shengli was very satisfied.
If Lin Liang was just an ordinary person in charge of the Fisheries Bureau or a deputy, he would remain unknown all his life. But now, Qin Tao has pushed Lin Liang out. After some publicity, he will become a person who will go down in history.
figure.
For Lin Liang, this is the right path.
And for the overall situation, it is also beneficial. With such publicity, Shuangsha Island will be more stable.
"I'll give you half a year to prepare. After half a year, you can go to the island."
Half a year? Lin Liang raised his chest and raised his head: "Mr. Qin, we can go up now."
"The time is not ripe yet, so you should be more prepared. By the way, the salary given to you by the group will start from next month, so you can also take advantage of this half year to enjoy life. After all, you are on Shuangsha Island.
, it will be a lot more painful.”
"Mr. Qin, we have to make various preparations in the past six months, so I will go."
Looking at Lin Liang's leaving figure, Wu Shengli smiled: "In this case, it is enough to have Village Chief Lin, and you don't have to look for those fishermen, right?"
Of course Wu Shengli knew Qin Tao's plan. Qin Tao came here just as a transit point. He originally planned to find the fishermen on the island, the lovely fishermen who helped salvage things without copper last time.
Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, we don't need to find them for the time being, but we can still bring the news to them. If they want to go, let them sign up with Village Chief Lin. After all, there is still a need for manpower there."
"Okay, now that everything has been arranged here, I should go back. The dredger will arrive in two or three days. Do you have any other ideas?"
"Nothing, I'm going to have some pilot meals at the airport." Qin Tao said.
Wu Shengli looked at Qin Tao seriously: "Taozi, do you think this place is important?"
Qin Tao nodded seriously: "Yes, I know that the Flying Leopard has a long enough range, but the air combat capability of this aircraft is not good. Therefore, the Su-30 is a must. The navy should try its best to fight for it from its superiors. Also, our
Maritime life-saving equipment must also be developed. Naval pilots must organize a maritime life-saving training every year."
Speaking of this, Qin Tao was gushing again: "Especially the three-piece set necessary for life-saving at sea. The first one is an armpit life-saving device. Just like two small satchels, after falling into the water, these two small
The shoulder bag will turn into two semicircular lifebuoys, relying on the buoyancy generated by the lifebuoy buoy to make the wearer's shoulders above the water surface, achieving the purpose of lifesaving."
"The other two are the single-person lifeboat and the lifesaving bag. The lifesaving bag contains necessary equipment such as a flare gun, lifesaving radio, windproof matches, medicine, rations, etc., while the lifeboat is installed under the ejection seat. It will be released after parachuting.
Landing on the water together with the parachute, it helps the pilot build a boat of life on the sea."
Watch more Western movies. After parachuting, you climb into a lifeboat, eat life-saving dry food and wait. When you see a helicopter in the sky, you fire a flare and then you are picked up.
If it weren't for the backwardness of marine life-saving equipment, it wouldn't be...
"If there is a chance in the future, I will bring back some of Lao Maozi's marine life-saving equipment and some old American marine life-saving equipment." Qin Tao said, "Especially the American life-saving equipment, it is very advanced, and we can definitely copy it."
.”
The American military victory is even more confusing.
Looking at Wu Shengli's expression, Qin Tao smiled: "Dad, we have to send people to prepare in advance, especially those retired aircraft carrier officers. When we have an aircraft carrier in the future, deck scheduling operations and the like will be needed
We need experienced people to guide us. In this regard, I can’t even do it, so I have to find a way from the Americans.”
The Americans have been operating modern aircraft carriers for decades. They paid countless blood costs to master the operation of jets on the ship and developed a set of standardized procedures. We no longer need to follow this path.
Just ask the instructor directly from there.
Wu Shengli nodded.
In the past few days, Qin Tao really visited the HNA base and walked around here. When other people saw him, they all greeted him with a smile, sometimes on the lawn, sometimes in the hangar.
Qin Tao seemed to have little interest in the two J-31s, but when he talked about the J-31A that was being developed, he was extremely excited and talked non-stop.
After a few days like this, finally, the dredger "Sky Whale" came over. Qin Tao got on the dredger and headed to the destination together.
On Shuangsha Island, on the flying platform made of refractory bricks, the naval soldiers guarding the islands and reefs were gathered for daily training. Zhang Haiyang looked at the people in front of him and said excitedly: "Now, I have a good news for everyone.
!”
Half a year has passed by, and they, the first batch of soldiers guarding the islands and reefs, are about to leave here. Since they have a large space for activities here, and the dormitories where they sleep at night are air-conditioned and dehumidified, their mental state is still the same.
Very good, no one has arthritis or anything like that.
At this time, they stood upright, waiting for Zhang Haiyang's announcement.
"Before our defensive warriors come, we will see the Sky Whale dredger coming to work here!"
Sky Whale dredger?
The guys are very curious.
"Report, what kind of ship is this?"
"I don't know either. A dredger is of course a dredger."
"Report, I know! Dredgers are used to remove silt from the seabed!"
"That's right, it's a ship like this that comes to clear the mud near our islands and reefs. In the future, our activities here will be more convenient!" Zhang Haiyang was interrupted by his soldiers and almost forgot about important things.
: "Also, the most important thing is that General Manager Qin came over with the dredger to express condolences to us!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is what Zhang Haiyang really wants to say, the most important thing!
They are going to see Mr. Qin again!
"So, the task in the past few days is to clean and tidy up our outpost. If I see anyone failing in their internal affairs, I will punish him by going for an armed swim of ten kilometers!"
The soldiers below burst into laughter.
"Report, a ship was spotted in the distance!"
Hearing this, Zhang Haiyang was stunned. Could it be that he has already arrived?
Is it too late for the superior to notify you? Is this a surprise attack for yourself?
Zhang Haiyang picked up the telescope on his chest and saw the flag hanging on the ship. Looking at the specialness of the ship, he knew it was right!
"Quick, we'll sort out the housekeeping within half an hour, and come out to greet you in half an hour!"
Zhang Haiyang was anxious.
The sea is not very fast, so even if you see it, you still have time to prepare.
Zhang Haiyang's men also rushed back to sort out the housekeeping. He stood on the platform, looking into the distance, hoping that there would be no helicopters on the ship.
The Sky Whale is a special operation ship and there is really no place to set up a helicopter take-off and landing platform. Therefore, Qin Tao still took the small boat to the Shuangsha Island sentry station. The small boat was filled with daily necessities, which were some of Qin Tao's thoughts.
If it weren't for the fact that the Mingzhou Group couldn't pay salaries to the soldiers, Qin Tao would really want to pay these people a salary and bonuses. These are the cutest people in the modern era.
Therefore, I can only take advantage of the opportunity to send them some condolences.
With this thought, Qin Tao looked towards the approaching sentry post. Under the flagpole of the basketball court, two teams of soldiers were already standing.
"Salute!" Zhang Haiyang shouted loudly.
"Thank you for your hard work, comrades! I, Qin Tao, come to see you!" Qin Tao shouted to the soldiers.
"Serve the people!"
shouted the man above.
Xu Zhengyang stood behind Qin Tao and also raised his right arm to return the salute to these people.
The boat arrived below, Qin Tao and others climbed up the steps, while other soldiers helped carry the supplies.
"Mr. Qin, how long do you plan to stay here this time?"
"It can take as little as three to five days, or as long as more than ten days."
"Well, we have specially prepared a room for you."
"Okay, the boat is too rocky, so it's more comfortable to live here." Qin Tao said, "How is everyone's life during this time?"
"Everyone's life is pretty good. Look, everyone is alive and kicking."
Qin Tao nodded, and then thought of something: "Why didn't you hear the sound of the generator?"
"It is enough for us to use solar energy to provide power during the day. At night, we will turn on the generator. Don't worry, Mr. Qin, we have enough fuel. Every night, the soldiers have to cover themselves with quilts when sleeping."
While talking, Qin Tao came to the living area. He gently opened the door of a room. Inside was a room for eight people with four bunk beds.
For the military, this kind of room arrangement is very normal. Although there are many empty rooms here, living together makes it easier to turn on the air conditioning. If it is a four-person room, it is probably hard to part with it.
The housekeeping was very tidy, and the quilt was folded into tofu blocks. Qin Tao put his hand into the quilt and touched it.
"How about it, Mr. Qin, we didn't lie, did we?" Zhang Haiyang said.
Qin Tao nodded.
"Yes, the bedding is very dry. Only under these conditions can the soldiers sleep well and be refreshed, so that they can better guard the maritime borders of the motherland."
Xu Zhengyang also touched it and said with emotion: "Yes, when we were guarding the reef, there were no quilts anywhere. It would be hot to sleep on the ground. It's great to be able to sleep with a quilt."
The humidity at sea is high. If the air conditioner is not turned on, the water will probably be squeezed out of the bedding. It is impossible to have a good rest at this time, and it will not take long for you to get sick.
A dry environment is very important. Even if the air conditioner is not cooling, it is still necessary to only turn on the dehumidification function.
"Everyone is very satisfied with the current environment. Therefore, I am still reluctant to go to the reef and return to the mainland after the expiration date. I wonder if I will receive such treatment after returning." Zhang Haiyang said with a smile, thinking about Qin Tao.
"When it's time to change defenses, just change defenses. After you go back and stay for half a year, you can apply to come back again. By then, maybe the conditions will be better."
Zhang Haiyang's eyes lit up: Better conditions? It's already very good now. It's better than this. Is it going to turn this place into an island?
"Wow, what is that?"
"The dragon of the sea!"
At this moment, exclamations came from outside.
Zhang Haiyang walked to the window in surprise and looked outside. When he saw the scene in the distance, he was also shocked.
The tail of the ship with a special shape was facing their direction, and a special thing protruded from there, diagonally inserted into the sea water. The sea water here was very shallow, so you could clearly see that the silt on the seabed was turned up.
.
Of course, the most spectacular thing is the huge pipe at the other end, which directly blows the things extracted from the sea water out. It actually flew hundreds of meters, just like a mud dragon.
This spectacular sight is unbelievable.
Zhang Haiyang was also stunned when he saw this scene.
"Mr. Qin, what are you doing?"
"What do you think?"
"Is it clearing away the silt and opening up the channel?"
"That's what you think."
In space, a reconnaissance satellite flew across the sky and soon discovered an unusual scene here. So the photos were taken and then sent back through the satellite.
"This is a joke!" Looking at the photo, Swift's face was full of smiles: "Are they removing the silt and planning to open a channel? There is nothing there, just a few cement platforms. Can it still be used as a channel?
Military base? I don’t see any value in that!”
"Your Excellency, what if they continue to expand their territory there after clearing the silt? Our technicians have analyzed that the dredger is quite powerful. If it is used to build an island, it can blow air in half a year.
Come to an island."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Are you kidding? What's the use of an island made of sand?" Swift shook his head: "If they really want to do this, then we
Just call it the Great Wall of Sand. George, have you ever played with sand at the beach?"
The adjutant could only nod.
That's right, even if they blow in the opposite direction and fill up a small island there, it doesn't make any sense. The small island made of sand will collapse as soon as it is pushed. As long as a sea storm comes over, the small island there will be completely destroyed.
disappeared.
The name of the Great Wall of China quickly spread from Swift to the whole world.
Lopez, who has been paying close attention to this place, is a little confused: "I think they want to remove the silt, but what are they going to do after removing the silt?"
Intuitively, he thought there must be action here, but he didn't know what to do.
Just like what Swift said, even if you fill up a small island with sand, it doesn't make any sense.
That night.
Thanks to the communication satellites launched into space, TV programs from the motherland can also be watched here.
"Currently, our Tianjing is operating in the southern seas. This dredger independently developed by my country plays a key role in removing silt and clearing waterways."
The picture on the TV flashed by for less than fifteen seconds, but the soldiers in front of the TV cheered and looked towards the sea in the distance, where the dredger was still working.
Construction has entered its third day.
Zhenhua No. 1 is here.
Even if it is dispatched early, there is no point, because the first step of removing the silt is really important. Only by removing the silt and clearing the channel can it be able to sail safely in this area, unlike last time, which required many hours of unsteady work by the navigator.
Stop adjusting.
At the sentry post, the soldiers opened their eyes wide and watched all this in disbelief.
Zhenhua No. 1 hoisted the cylinder it carried and placed it near their sentry post. The cylinder accurately poked into the water and stood vertically upward.
Then, another ship came over. This ship had an even weirder shape. It had a high shelf with a heavy hammer on it. After it fell, it hit the cylinder hard.
Boom, boom, boom!
In just three blows, the cylinder was knocked down by more than one meter, leaving more than two meters high exposed on the water.
Then, a pump began to pump out the seawater inside.
That afternoon, some workers climbed in. To facilitate construction, an extra row of ladders was welded inside the cylinder!
"What is this for?"
Zhang Haiyanghu painted it.
Next, he saw steel bars being inserted.
"Are we going to build cement pillars there?"
"Yes, you guessed it right." Qin Tao said.
"What's next?"
"you guess."
Zhang Haiyang racked his brains and thought: "Is it necessary to build a huge platform?"
From the sentry post to the other side, it is at least five hundred meters. If such a huge platform is built, how huge will the island here be?
"Of course not. If we really do this, we can't afford the amount of reinforced concrete that will be used."
what is that?
Zhang Haiyang didn't guess it.
However, the work continues.
Steel cylinders and steel drills were continuously driven into the seabed. In ten days, a length of about three kilometers had been fenced!
"It's time for the dredger to blow up and fill in. Let's blow up this area first," Qin Tao said.
With this length of enclosure, the construction of the dredger can begin!
Countless people opened their eyes wide and watched this incredible scene.
Five kilometers away, the dredger started working.
You can't see the sprayed mud flow, you can only see a huge pipe, connecting the dredger and the part blocked by the fence. The dredger will move back and forth during the operation, and the pipe will move back and forth.
It will sway back and forth in the water, like a long snake.
Here, in the blocked areas, there are more and more sediments.
"Mr. Qin, will the area of our island be expanded?" Zhang Haiyang asked Qin Tao excitedly.
Qin Tao smiled and said nothing.
If these soldiers have been on the island all the time, Qin Tao can tell them generously, but they are about to leave Shuangsha Island and land on land. What if the secret is accidentally leaked?
Therefore, we can’t say yet or tell them the final grand blueprint.
In space, reconnaissance satellites are also watching this change.
"Damn it, didn't they say they were clearing the sludge? What are they doing now?"
"Looking at this situation, they are planning to fill in the islands."
"Even if they drive a few piles, it's still useless. It's still just a Great Wall of Sand. It won't be long before a storm comes and all their efforts will be in vain." Swift looked at the latest satellite.
Photo, still dismissive: "They are really whimsical. They actually want to transform it into an island. This is simply impossible."
Under the same night, another place.
"We have never seen China have this kind of technology. Their dredger may break down soon. They want to fill in an island in the southern sea. It is simply a dream." Lopez
I don't believe it either.
Even if some media exaggerate the facts and exaggerate the reclamation of islands, these sophisticated people do not believe it. In their eyes, the East does not have such technology at all, and it is impossible to succeed.
On Shuangsha Island.
Qin Tao looked at a transport ship approaching and the young and energetic faces who jumped off the ship, and knew it was time to leave.
It's time to change defenses. These young soldiers will replace the officers and soldiers who have been stationed for half a year. Qin Tao will also follow this transport ship back to the mainland. It is impossible for him to stay here for half a year.
Although there is air conditioning and TV here, life here is still too boring.
"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 and obey commands... I will live and die with the islands and reefs wherever I am and the national flag will be with me!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! No matter how conditions change, these oaths will never change, and no matter how many officers and soldiers come, this spirit will be passed on forever!
After the handover ceremony is over, people will not leave immediately. There will be a lively dinner in the cafeteria, and they will not leave until after the meal.
This was also the only time on the reef where we could openly drink. Everyone drank and drank, and sang songs from time to time. Later, everyone started to cry. I don’t know if there will be a chance to come back this time.
Qin Tao didn't drink with them, he just looked at what the defensive warriors brought.
In addition to various daily necessities, everyone brought a bag of soil, a bag of soil from the motherland.
This soil will be spread on the land that has been filled in, and mixed with the soil dug out from the sea, to witness the growth of this place!
In the future, there will be green trees and luxuriant branches here!
Pile driving and steel tubes are still continuing, and the length of the fence will continue to expand, eventually covering the entire annular island reef. The infrastructure maniac will show its power here and create a miracle.
"Mr. Qin, shall we get on the boat?" Xu Zhengyang asked Qin Tao.
"Well, don't worry, let's go over there and see our village."
Of course, the village is still underwater. The water has not gone down yet, so Qin Tao can only swim across it.
"In half a year, our Shuangsha Island Fishery Tourism Village will start construction. At that time, we will come here again to participate in the village's groundbreaking ceremony."
"Well, Mr. Qin, let's come together." Xu Zhengyang nodded.
This was the place where he served and where he fought. Now, seeing the earth-shaking changes that have taken place here, Xu Zhengyang is also very excited.
There is no spring, summer, autumn or winter here, it is always hot. It will be very good to come here for vacation in the winter.
However, when the two of them walked back, they unexpectedly discovered that several people were also walking in the water on the reef.
The leader, wearing thick glasses, looked like an old scholar.
"Who are you?" Qin Tao was very curious.
"We are domestic geologists. We came here with the navy ships. We hope to find Danshui here."
Qin Tao was stunned: "Can you still find Danshui here?"
He thought about turning the sea water into water, but he never thought that he could find Danshui directly from here. It was absolutely impossible.
"Yes. Mr. Qin, have you heard of the Danshui lens effect?"
Qin Tao shook his head.
"This place has a tropical maritime monsoon climate, with abundant and even precipitation throughout the year. These precipitations are real fresh water. Unfortunately, we have no means to retain it. However, the rocks below may have means to retain the fresh water."
"Then it has to be mixed with sea water!"
"No, no, there is a difference between the density of seawater and the density of Danshui. This can form a Danshui lens effect. Danshui and seawater will be blocked by the rock layer. The outside of the island is normal seawater. The closer to the island, the higher the salinity of the water.
Low until it completely lowers to a clear water in a certain place. Later, when our island is built, we can dig a few wells to try."
Xu Zhengyang looked worried and dug a well there? It sounds unreliable. Could it have collapsed the island?
