"With helicopters and even tilt-rotor aircraft, our navy's shortcomings have almost been filled." On the way back, Wu Shengli said to Qin Tao with emotion.
The two of them came to see the helicopter out of curiosity. They didn't need to stay here for too long, and they couldn't provide any more guidance. It was enough to leave professional matters to professionals.
This was not the first time Wu Shengli came to see a helicopter, but this time he was particularly excited. He had already seen the prospect that this helicopter would be developed and equipped with the navy soon.
"Have the navy's shortcomings been filled?" Qin Tao smiled.
"Is not it?"
"Almost, the technical shortcomings have been filled, and the next step is quantity." Qin Tao said: "If you want to build a powerful navy, there is a long way to go. The current strength of the navy is not enough.
Went to see it.”
"Quantity? We can't be anxious about this. Our superiors 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 launch a force."
"Mr. Qin, I just received a piece of news." 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 suddenly became excited: "Old Wang and the others are moving very quickly, let's go over and have a look!"
Wu Shengli was full of expectations, but then Qin Tao poured cold water on him.
"Dad, what are you going there for?" Qin Tao said, "Isn't it just to build a lighthouse? If you go there with great fanfare, wouldn't you be suspected?"
Wu Shengli's fiery heart became cold. Yes, if he just built a lighthouse and ran there by himself, people would definitely be suspicious of it, so let's forget it.
"Okay, then I won't go."
"Xiaoling and I will go and take a look on your behalf."
"Why can't I go, but you and Xiaoling can go?" Wu Shengli was a little dissatisfied.
"We are a private force. Xiaoling and I often travel there. Moreover, we have developed Shuangsha Island and it is not enough. We need to develop more islands. So, let's go to Chigua Island to see if there are any problems.
?"
"Okay, it's all your fault." Wu Shengli said, "Then go ahead."
"Besides, we have more important things to do when we go to the island." After Qin Tao finished speaking, he glanced at Xu Zhengyang.
The energetic Xu Zhengyang blushed for the first time.
"What's up?"
"Arrange a wedding for Secretary Xu."
Wu Shengli looked at Xu Zhengyang. He was stunned for a moment, and then he understood: "Yes, it's time for a happy event. Secretary Xu should have gotten married a long time ago. It has been delayed over the years. Fortunately, with your help, we found him."
A good match."
"It's not us who helped. I originally wanted to help, but it almost ended up being a disservice. Secretary Xu fought for this happiness on his own."
"Mr. Qin, please stop talking. If you tell me, I should..."
"What should I do? Be shy? Are you shy too? Besides, you have to adapt now, otherwise you won't be able to adapt when the wedding comes."
There is only one season a year in Guadalcanal, which is summer. The temperature here is high all year round. No matter what sunscreen you put on, you will get tanned.
He Qian became a black girl on the island, but this did not affect her appearance. Blackness is still healthy. She has been busy on the island these days, watching the construction team go to the island, watching all kinds of things
The building emerged from the underwater reef and gradually grew larger. Within a few days, the lighthouse was built.
The construction progress is so fast that it’s unbelievable!
She was looking up at the lighthouse that had been built when she heard a roar in the distance. It was a familiar ground-effect aircraft that fell into the water far away and then slid over here.
Thinking of something, He Qian's pretty face blushed slightly, 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 as he looked at the erected lighthouse.
"Yes, Mr. Qin, our construction progress is very fast, far exceeding 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 can't help but stare. But how to achieve a fait accompli, that's one word: fast, so fast that others can't react. In their eyes, this is a lighthouse.
, in such a short time, besides building a lighthouse, can anything else be built?
"What do you mean, we are just 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 fifty meters long, right?"
"Yes, it is a fifty-meter lighthouse. On the sea, if there is no smoke, it can be seen thirty nautical miles away. It stands here and it is easier to indicate the route to sailors at sea."
When it was originally under 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, and the lighting distance was farther under the same power.
"This is our Eastern contribution to world shipping." Qin Tao was very proud: "Next, let's go to the control room and have a look."
Qin Tao and He Qian who ran over from the opposite side nodded and left. He Qian also smiled and looked at Xu Zhengyang who came down from above.
"Brother Zhengyang, are you here?"
"Well, I'm here."
Their eyes met, and what 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 gave you all the wedding gifts.
I brought it over and asked someone to move it!"
Of course, Zhao Ling was indispensable for this kind of thing. She came up last. At the same time, she also held a huge flower basket in her hand, which was one of the wedding supplies.
It has never happened before to hold a wedding on a stationed island. At most, the couple would go to the island after the wedding and let the woman visit the place where her husband lives and works. Yes, there were no women on the island before. Bring the woman to the island.
It's too shabby to hold a wedding.
It's different now. Female soldiers have gone to the island, and they have asked to get married on the island. This has a more important commemorative significance.
However, in He Qian's mind, she did not plan to make a big splash, but just wanted to hold a simple wedding. However, Zhao Ling disagreed and took care of it herself.
Xu Zhengyang and Qin Tao have been together for a long time. They have always been loyal. They are both caring secretaries and brave bodyguards. At critical moments, they even have to take bullets for Qin Tao. Now, he is getting married, and Zhao Ling is his most important person.
How could his close family members not help him?
He Qian took a look inside, and then stuck out her tongue in surprise, so many?
The entire ground effect aircraft will be filled!
"Secretary Zhao, how can this be done? This is too much."
"Not many, this is the first batch, and there is a second batch." Zhao Ling said: "We Mingzhou Group people can't get married easily, but there are still some things we can't bring, such as our Mr. Qin
I bought a car for you and your wife, but it cannot be transported here. It can only be placed on land so that you can use it when you return. However, I have brought the car keys to you, and there will be a ceremony when the time comes."
car?
It was only the late 1990s, and private cars were not yet widely available. Even if they were available, they were small QQ-level cars. At this time, He Qian looked at the key in Zhao Ling's hand, and the word "red flag" on it shone brightly.
Looking at the light, this car is definitely worth a lot of money.
"No, Secretary Zhao, this is too expensive." He Qian shook her head repeatedly and looked at Xu Zhengyang: "Brother Zhengyang, you and Mr. Qin should talk to Secretary Zhao. Let's get married and keep everything simple. What I like is
You, as a person, are not a fortune."
Xu Zhengyang was helpless: "Xiaoqian, of course I think this is too grand, but there is no other way. Everything must be arranged by Secretary Zhao."
On the other side, Qin Tao and Wang Dazhong were still walking forward on Chigua Island, along a path emerging from the water, heading towards the lighthouse.
The lighthouse is not next to Chiguadao Station, but is separated by a distance. This distance is paved with a road, so there is no need to cross the water. Anyway, the area of the reef below is already very large, so you can change it as you like.
There is a control room next to the lighthouse, which is two stories high. Outsiders can't see any clues, except that the control room is relatively large, but in fact, there is another mystery inside.
The experimental ten-megawatt high-temperature gas-cooled reactor sits there quietly, waiting for others to visit. This building was built on land and then transported directly, so the outside world does not know what is inside.
"The nuclear material has not been loaded yet, so this high-temperature gas-cooled reactor cannot operate yet. However, we are already prepared. When the couple gets married, we will also ignite it here at the same time. It is a double happiness."
There has to be a ceremony for the start of this kind of project, but unfortunately it can't be done with much fanfare here, so we simply used the marriage of Xu Zhengyang and He Qian to do it.
Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, double happiness is here. We will also set off a large number of firecrackers and fireworks. In the future, even if the chimney here is smoking, it can be said that it was caused by this firecracker."
Just for Xu Zhengyang's marriage, Qin Tao had to make a big deal, but it would be more meaningful if he also did it with the ignition of the nuclear reactor.
While sending wedding supplies to Xu Zhengyang, you can also bring the materials needed for the nuclear reactor. While sending the guests attending the wedding ceremony to Xu Zhengyang, you can also bring the staff of the nuclear power plant. This will not cause any problems.
Suspect.
Standing on the top of the second floor, Qin Tao looked outside. The waves were lapping against the reef, making a swishing sound.
“How are safety issues resolved?”
"During the construction, trenches were dug outside. If anyone wanted to flood the water, they would be discovered. At the same time, we installed cameras on the top of the lighthouse to monitor the surroundings day and night."
"night?"
"Yes, the light of the lighthouse is strong enough to illuminate all sides. Moreover, we have pre-arranged an anti-infantry radar on the lighthouse. Because this emits electromagnetic waves, it will only be activated when the situation is tense."
Qin Tao nodded.
For nuclear power plants, safety is the most important issue. This safety includes two aspects: the normal operation of the system without malfunction; and the interference of external forces. What if someone wants to cause sabotage and blows up the nuclear reactor to create a crisis?
Take a look at France, a major nuclear power country. Once there is a situation in the country, the first thing to do is to send troops to protect the nuclear power plant because it is afraid of any accidents. But for our own side, this place is far away from the mainland, so security and protection work is even more important.
However, there is no need to talk about it. After everything is prepared, you can do whatever you want. There is no need to blindly boycott nuclear power like some countries. As a result, there will be an energy crisis. If you want to eat pasta, experts will advise you.
No need to boil, just soak 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 electric power that is too low to drive air conditioning equipment like solar and wind energy. A ten-megawatt nuclear power plant
, enough to meet the needs of all islands and reefs in the entire southern sea.
"Has the cable been laid?" Qin Tao continued to ask.
"After it is laid, we use special cables and add an extra layer of steel plate on the outside. Even if an anchor is dropped, the cable will not be damaged. Moreover, our dredger has also covered it with a layer of sand along the way.
, it should be able to guarantee use for fifty to one hundred years.”
After all, Chigua Island has not been developed yet. It is relatively hidden and is a good place to build a nuclear power plant. However, the power generated by Chigua Island still needs to be transmitted to other islands. Laying underwater transmission lines is the most suitable.
Way.
"Now only cables are the most suitable for transmitting electricity. In the future, when we have laser transmission technology, we can use lasers to transmit electricity."
"Laser power transmission?" Wang Dazhong shook his head: "Laser has strong directionality and concentrated energy. Laser can carry a large amount of energy. Therefore, power transmission over longer distances can be achieved with smaller transmission power. However, laser power transmission also has many problems.
To solve the problem, for example, in the atmosphere, the attenuation of laser is relatively serious, and the most important thing is that there should be nothing blocking the laser link. If there are birds or even airplanes flying into it, there will be big problems.
This kind of technology is more like science fiction.”
Just like nowadays, ground effect aircraft fly back and forth between the various islands. If they get into the middle of the laser beam, they will probably be vaporized directly.
Laser power transmission technology has been proposed a long time ago, but it is difficult to implement because it faces too many problems.
Qin Tao also extracted a concept from the memories of later generations. When space technology developed, 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 has a lot of time to generate electricity, which can be said to be very suitable.
However, there is a problem with solar power generation in space: transmission. Power stations on the ground can directly use cables. What about space? How do power stations in space transmit power? There are only two types: laser and microwave. Many people are confused.
I am very interested in laser transmission and think 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 technology as if they are looking at science fiction.
"Okay, let's call it 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
Space plane."
Wang Dazhong pushed up his glasses and nodded vigorously: "Yes, it is indeed true. The Baidi space plane came out and shocked us all. We really look forward to being able to enter space at a low cost and travel in space in the future."
Scientists also need to go to space. They can do many things in the gravity-free environment of space. Now, after hearing what Qin Tao said, Wang Dazhong was also full of expectations.
By the time the two came out of the control room, Guadalcanal had changed drastically.
Rows of folding chairs were placed in the open space originally used by the soldiers for training. The aisle left in the center of the chairs was filled with sunflowers on both sides, forming a flower aisle. In front of it was a rostrum.
, it is also wrapped with flowers.
This should be the place where the wedding ceremony is held.
"Mr. Qin, it costs a lot to transport these things from the mainland." Luo Dahai was organizing everyone to move them. When he saw Qin Tao coming, he said with emotion.
"Yes, but we don't plan to move back. After the ceremony is over, after these are dismantled, they will be placed in your warehouse. During the Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival, our Mingzhou Group will provide money to organize the Heart-to-Heart Art
If the troupe comes here to perform, the stage and stands can be built by then," Qin Tao said.
Luo Dahai looked at Qin Tao gratefully: "Mr. Qin, after we have electricity and TV, we can just watch CCTV's party without spending so much money."
"This is not possible. You are defending the country and guarding the border. Of course we will 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 the satisfaction of the most basic life.
It’s just necessary. By the way, has the seawater desalination device been installed?”
Compared with the lack of electricity, what is more important here is the lack of fresh water resources. Not every island can have a fresh water lens effect. Fresh water is pumped on the Great Wall of China. Fresh water transported from the mainland is too expensive, so you still have to make it yourself.
.
Desalination of seawater requires electricity. A large part of the electricity from the power station that is about to 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 very tenacious flower that can bloom on the islands and reefs of the South China Sea, but it still needs fresh water.
Even if you don't use good water directly, you can use the water used to rinse rice and wash vegetables, and the sunflowers will bloom.
"You just want to plant sunflowers? Sure enough, the islands and reefs with female soldiers are different. On other islands and reefs, they are thinking of opening vegetable fields."
Luo Dahai suddenly smiled, yes, why did he just think about planting flowers?
The cheerful laughter of female soldiers could be heard in the distance.
Female soldiers dormitory.
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 twist.
In this era, the bun is popular. Before the bride gets married, she must dress herself up beautifully. The white wedding dress has been hung on a hanger nearby, waiting to be worn after the bun.
Many people used to struggle with whether to wear a wedding dress first or to wear a bun first. If you wear a bun first, your hairstyle may be ruined when you put on a wedding dress. If you put on a wedding dress first, you can't lie down and can only sit, which is really too tiring.
A woman is happiest when she gets married, but also the most tired.
"It's so beautiful to be a bride. I want to be a bride too."
"You only joined the army last year, so you are not qualified to be a bride. You are not allowed to fall in love while you are a recruit."
"Hmph, I said in the future, not now, Sister Qian is too beautiful. Sister Qian, if I were a man, I would want to marry you."
"You? How can you be as good as your brother-in-law? He is from the Mingzhou Group and an early entrepreneur. He traveled all over the country with Mr. Qin and was full of courage."
"Hey, please don't make trouble like this, okay? Don't you want to get married?"
"think."
He Qian looked in the mirror, listening to the chirping words of the other female soldiers, but her brows gradually wrinkled.
Squeak, the door opened, and Zhao Ling, who was busy setting up outside, came in. Looking at He Qian's expression, she was a little curious: "Qian'er, what's wrong? You're getting married soon, and you're not happy?"
"Sister, I, I, I don't want to wear a wedding dress." He Qian mustered up the courage to say.
This title is very subtle. Xu Zhengyang is actually older than Qin Tao. If she is called according to the male side, He Qian should be called Zhao Ling's younger sister. However, given Mr. Qin's status, it is inappropriate to call her like this. She is older than Zhao Ling and Qin
Tao was young, so I could call her sister-in-law, but in the end I chose to call her sister, and calling me secretary Zhao was no longer an option. She was busy with many things, so calling me secretary Zhao was too unfamiliar.
Zhao Ling's face suddenly changed. What does it mean that she doesn't want to wear a wedding dress? She doesn't want to get married? This He Qian wants to regret her marriage? This is absolutely not possible. She finally found a partner for Xu Zhengyang, but at the end of the day, her daughter-in-law ran away?
It's embarrassing for this to spread out, and it's the Mingzhou Group's face that's being lost.
"Why? Are you afraid of getting married? Don't worry, life after marriage will be the same as before marriage. If Brother Zhengyang bullies you, just tell me and I will support you."
"No, no." He Qian shook her head repeatedly: "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 confused look, He Qian continued: "I think I am still suitable for wearing a military uniform."
The entire grand wedding was arranged by Zhao Ling, so He Qian hesitated and didn't want to make Zhao Ling unhappy. As a result, Zhao Ling misunderstood. Did she really not want to wear a wedding dress, or did she think she should wear a military uniform? Soldiers should wear
It makes more sense to get married in military uniform.
"You should have told me this earlier." Zhao Ling said, "Getting married is the most important event in your life. You can wear whatever you want."
