Above the boundless sea, the surrounding scenery is the same, the deep black sea water. *Literature Museum* You can't see the change. In the distance, as far as the eye can see. The sea and sky are the same color. Above the sea, especially this kind of Ocean sailing is the most boring. It is also the easiest to get lost.
Tang Zheng was aboard an ocean-going container freighter. Its full displacement reached 100,000 tons, making it one of the few 100,000-ton freighters in the world. The freighter's registration place is also in Panama. Panama-registered freighters are all over the world. The world is famous.
The freighter is equipped with specialized escorts and even some ordinary firearms. This is a very common thing in ocean transportation.
Even though the freighter is equipped with an advanced entertainment and audio-visual system, this kind of boring voyage is still unavoidable. Tang Zheng was amazed at this moment. What did the navigators in ancient times rely on to survive?
There is a small platform on the top of the freighter's cockpit, which is one of the few places on the freighter that has good ventilation.
Tang Zheng stood on the deck, feeling the sea breeze. Next to him, Ye Wu and Wu Tiejun walked up. Ye Wu said slowly: "This time, the country may be shocked."
Tang Zheng could naturally understand Ye Wu's words. The elite commandos were lost one after another. That's all. The important thing is that the Hidden Dragon Brigade solved this problem extremely easily. Compared with the two, Below, the seemingly small gap has been invisibly widened.
It is conceivable that the country must be in a state of excitement at this moment, astonished by the powerful strength of the Yinlong Brigade. The importance of the Yinlong Brigade will inevitably be re-evaluated, and the experimental base will be re-evaluated.
Tang Zheng didn't care much about these things. He said slowly: "This ocean voyage is really boring and boring."
As soon as the words fell, a voice suddenly rang out from behind Tang Zheng. The captain of the freighter had already walked over: "Professor Tang, have you experienced the life of our sailors?"
The captain of the ocean-going freighter has a very different surname: Shi, and it is also a name given by many people in China, Shi Xiaoming.
Tang Zheng also smiled and said: "Captain Shi, I am completely impressed by this journey with you. Now I have discovered that every sailor must have a strong heart. Otherwise, this kind of loneliness, It’s absolutely crushing.”
Shi Xiaoming chuckled and said: "The environment is much better now. Many crew members have started playing with iPads. There are also a lot of movie resources to watch. If it were the time when I was a sailor, there would only be novels. It can relieve loneliness.
Suddenly, Ye Wu pointed forward and said loudly: "Look, there is a small island over there."
Following the direction of Ye Wu's finger, Tang Zheng also looked over. On the left front of the channel, about 500 meters away, an island had appeared in everyone's sight.
As we gradually get closer, the full picture of the island is revealed. It is an island with high east and low west and very gentle terrain. The island is lined with rocks and there is no vegetation.
But at this time, the island slowly descended and gradually became silent in the sea. This scene immediately made Tang Zheng open his mouth. Tang Zheng was a little shocked. Seeing this scene, he really felt I felt the magic of nature.
Such an island with a radius of about fifty acres was submerged in the sea in the blink of an eye. This is much more intuitive and grand than watching disaster movies.
Next to him, Captain Shi slowly said: "Professor Tang, don't you think it's magical? In fact, this is normal. This kind of island is not uncommon in the ocean. We sailors call this kind of island a ghost island. It means
That is, there is no vegetation on this kind of island, and it is as elusive as a ghost."
Tang Zheng was also a little shocked. He said slowly: "Captain Shi, is he really a ghost?"
Captain Shi smiled and said: "How is it possible? In fact, the original altitude of this kind of island is not low. It is probably about one or two meters below the sea level. In the ocean, there are also rising and falling tides.
At this height, the largest drop can even reach more than six meters. There are some such islands that will appear during low tide.
, forming islands. When the tide rises, they are submerged under the sea water. This phenomenon is rarely seen by those of us who sail on the sea all year round. In modern times, science and technology are not developed. On the way out, we clearly saw it.
There is an island, but when I returned, I found that the island was missing. Therefore, it was called Ghost Island."
The appearance of the ghost island gave Tang Zheng one more topic to talk about during his voyage. Unknowingly, the cargo ship crossed the Indian Ocean and entered the Strait of Malacca, and then headed back from here. The cargo ship will not sail along the coastline of the high seas.
, but after a short stopover in Singapore, it will sail directly from the Pacific to China.
After arriving here, everyone's mentality becomes happier, which is also a psychological reaction. The road back is long, and when approaching the country, people will naturally become happier.
, because the way home is in sight.
There are the most islands in the Pacific, not to mention the Maldives, a holiday destination. There are also many scattered island countries, like pearls, embedded in the Pacific Ocean.
Along the way, Tang Zheng has become accustomed to this kind of life at sea. Every day, Tang Zheng will habitually walk to the deck and enjoy the sea breeze and sun. Ahead, on the right side of the channel, there is about a kilometer of
Place. A lush island appears in everyone's sight. Here, it is close to the Palau Islands. On the left is the outside of the Philippines.
The entire island has about thirty-four acres of land. It is surrounded by fine white beaches. You can see that there is a very complete port next to it. There is a very large villa on the island. The entire island
, seemed very peaceful.
"This is a private island. In the Pacific, there are not many here. If you are in the Maldives or the Fiji Islands in the South Pacific, there are many such islands." Captain Shi came over without knowing when.
He spoke with a smile.
Tang Zheng was stunned for a moment and said slowly: "Private island? Captain Shi, what does this mean?"
Captain Shi did not laugh at Tang Zheng. He had heard of Tang Zheng's name and he was a world-famous figure. In Captain Shi's view, it was normal for any outstanding scientist to be weak in other aspects.
Immediately, Captain Shi said with a smile: "Professor Tang, the so-called private island is like a set of real estate. It's just that it has changed from a house to an island. On this island, you are the biggest. Because
This is your private territory. In recent years, there are even some islands that have never had territorial disputes. After they were discovered, because they did not belong to any country, some people established countries or something."
Private islands have become more and more popular in recent years. There are many such private islands for sale in the Mediterranean, Caribbean and South Pacific.
Of course, this is not something that ordinary people can afford. The islands are far away from the mainland, and the cost of construction is very high. Moreover, some have to build private airports, docks, etc. There are also drinking water, electricity, communications, etc.
The problem is that it can’t be played without investment of hundreds of millions of dollars or more.
Hearing this news, Tang Zheng was stunned. Looking at Captain Shi, Tang Zheng said slowly: "Captain Shi, I really learned a lot after hearing what you said."
After Captain Shi left, Tang Zheng was filled with excitement. This understanding seemed to open up Tang Zheng's thinking. Isn't there such and such attention and attention in China?
Since this method cannot be used in China, then why can't I buy such a private island?
The strength of wind power, solar power, and even tidal energy power stations does not have any problems. As for the network, you can also choose which place with submarine optical cables to directly connect to the submarine optical cables. Or, use other methods of satellite communication.
Yes. As for drinking water, naturally you have to choose an island with a fresh water source.
At this moment, a picture suddenly appeared in Tang Zheng's mind. On the Pacific Ocean, or somewhere. On a medium-sized island. Several villas were scattered on the island. The whole family,
Family members, including the daughters, all live here. It feels like a happy family and a happy family.
It can be said that this conversation with Captain Shi has completely opened up Tang Zheng's thinking. He does not necessarily need a certificate to guarantee anything for his wedding. Tang Zheng believes that he treats everyone the same
Attitude. In this case, if there is such an island, wouldn't it be possible to give every woman a perfect wedding?
This idea immediately took root in Tang Zheng's mind, and even spread uncontrollably. Tang Zheng even felt a little impatient. He was even thinking about where to sell the island.
?
The Mediterranean Sea, that's not possible, it's too far away from the motherland. It's better to be closer to the motherland. Thinking of this, Tang Zheng had an idea. I heard that there are many places in the south of the Yangtze River and the coastal areas of eastern Guangdong.
Island. If you can communicate well with the country and buy an island nearby, it will undoubtedly be the best.
The next voyage became ordinary. It stopped in Manila, unloaded a lot of containers, and then filled them with cargo. From here, the freighter entered the South China Sea. At this moment, it was truly back to the country.
Embraced.
Here, the military also sent a warship to directly pick up Tang Zheng and others.
