Chapter 36 Rookie

During the meeting, Gu Kai used a voice recorder to record the opinions and speeches of each member. Later, he had to use this to compile a brief report to prepare today's actions when the executive committee holds a regular meeting in the evening. Report. After the action summary meeting, the time has already reached noon without knowing it. It is still during the patrol period. I will definitely not go back to Victory Port just to have lunch. It just so happens that there are enough people today, so everyone " A small dinner party was held on the deck of the Speedy.

Johnson was not idle all the time on the boat in the morning. He caught more than a dozen large and small sea fish, which happened to be used for cooking. The kitchen stove on the boat used to be a liquefied gas stove, but now there is no supply of liquefied gas. It became unused items, but this little thing could not trouble these people who were accustomed to life at sea. Roger and Morgan carried out the barbecue grill and iron rack from the cabin, followed by Shi Diwen carrying the A big plastic bag filled with good charcoal. In this sunny weather, it is really pleasant to have a barbecue party with friends on a yacht by the sea. The only regret is that it is still working time. It's inconvenient to take out the whiskey collected on the ship and have a drink.

A week ago, Chuanzhong's first charcoal kiln was completed and put into operation not far from Base No. 1. This kind of low-tech project is naturally child's play for Chuanzhong who has a large amount of knowledge reserves. It consists of two or three Chuanzhong was responsible for technical guidance and directed the local fishermen who came to work to complete the entire process from digging the soil to build the kiln to firing the charcoal in the first kiln. The carbon monoxide leakage that the executive committee was originally worried about did not occur at all, and the first kiln was fired. Nearly 500 kilograms of charcoal were inspected and fully qualified, so all of them were immediately allocated to the Shipping Department, which had complained several times - the drying room for marine lumber had been completed long ago and was waiting for this batch of charcoal to arrive.

It’s not just the shipping department that is waiting for charcoal, the metallurgical department is also eagerly looking forward to the supply of charcoal. The Tiandu Iron Mine will soon be mined. The charcoal required for large-scale iron smelting is simply too little for the current pitiful output. Astronomical figures. In addition, the Ministry of Industry is also trying to persuade the Executive Committee to launch a batch of steam engines and gas engines that use charcoal as energy as soon as possible. Even the Ministry of Agriculture sent a report to the Executive Committee, detailing the use of charcoal as a raw material for manufacturing The importance of the produced carbon disulfide in the production of agricultural pesticides. The Executive Committee had to seize the time to build several more charcoal kilns, but it may not be able to change the situation of short supply of charcoal in the short term. This supply and demand imbalance will even continue until Until Chuanzhong gets a stable supply of coal.

However, these worries do not exist for several members of the North American Gang. Let the bureaucrats on the executive committee slowly have a headache! Of course, this is just what I think in my heart and no one will say it. After all, Gu Kai is now He is also someone who has sneaked into the upper echelons of the Executive Committee. In the future, if the North American gang wants to form the maritime exploration fleet, Marine Corps, special operations team and other military organizations they long for, I am afraid they will have to rely on Gu Kai to do more in the Executive Committee. Just help.

After eating a sumptuous seafood dinner, he still had to continue his routine maritime patrol mission in the afternoon. Wang Tom asked Gu Kai's opinion to see if he should be sent back to Victory Port first. Gu Kai hesitated

After a while, we decided to stay and wait until the patrol mission in the afternoon was over before returning to the port together. Then we took the last boat in the evening to deliver supplies to the No. 2 Base to go upriver to attend the daily meeting of the Executive Committee.

The two sailboats set off again from the seaside, then separated left and right, sailing towards the southwest sea at an interval of about two kilometers. After sailing about three nautical miles out of Luhuitoujiao, the two ships contacted through the radio and turned back together to sail southeast. Like this

After about an hour of leisurely cruising, Morgan, who was standing on the bow with a telescope and looking out, shouted: "Hey! Look to the north! Our little friend has appeared!"

On the sea in the distance, a Chinese-style fortune ship is slowly sailing south around Yulinjiao. This is naturally the Navy Haicang ship captured a few days ago. The Ministry of Shipping is currently conducting intensive training, and every day

It takes half a day to sail a boat out to sea. I have to say that the training arranged by the Ministry of Shipping is indeed effective, because starting from the previous day, the only ten Ming army sailors have been transferred to the charcoal kiln and wood drying room as laborers. Now

The crew members who sailed out to sea were all members of the traveling crew. Perhaps their movements were still a little clumsy, and their ability to grasp the wind direction at sea was not that strong, but it only took half a month to master the basic Chinese sailing posture skills.

This is not easy either.

A smirk appeared on the corner of John Wang's lips, and he picked up the walkie-talkie next to him: "Lightning, Lightning, have you seen the ship to the north? Let's go over and say hello!"

"OK! I hope the kids won't be so scared that they wet their pants!" The unbridled laughter of several ABCs came from the other end of the intercom.

The two sailboats turned around in a tacit understanding and headed towards the Haicang ship. John Wang handed the steering wheel to Johnson and ran under the mast to maneuver the sails himself. Both catamaran sailboats purchased from Poland used

Without the single mast sail, the combined area of ​​the mainsail and the foresail exceeds two hundred square meters. In addition, the streamlined hull with a very shallow draft can easily reach a high speed of 12 to 15 knots at sea as long as the wind direction is correct.

At top speed, it can even reach an astonishing speed of 20 knots, which is simply unparalleled for the Fuzhou ship whose maximum speed in this time and space is only six or seven knots.

Apparently, the Haicang ship driven by the rookie crew could not even reach a speed of sixty-seven knots. Sun Changmi, the temporary captain, was instructing the crew to pull the ropes to adjust the sails. When he turned around, he saw two

The sailboat drew a beautiful arc on the sea and headed towards him.

"Damn foreign devils, don't you get tired of playing like this every time?" Sun Changmi cursed angrily. Obviously, this is not the first time some people have played a prank.

The two sailboats soon approached from a thousand meters away, one on the left and the other on the right passing by the side of the Haicang ship at a very high speed. The distance between the ships was probably less than five meters, and the crew could even

The whistles and laughter coming from the sailboat were clearly heard. Before the crew members could relax, the Haicang ship began to jolt violently from side to side. Some crew members who were unsteady immediately turned into rolling gourds.

Immediately there was a chorus of curses.

"These damn Americans know how to show off their power! How dare you go to Iraq and Afghanistan to fight! If you have the guts to get off work, don't leave. I'll see you at the gate of the base at dinner. I will teach you how to behave in minutes!" The sailboat has already sailed out for two or three hundred years.

Meters away, the ship's first mate Xie Chun was still lying on the poop railing, shouting and cursing at the sail shadow in the distance.

This Xie Chun can be regarded as a talented person. Before time travel, he worked in many industries such as film and television, publishing, catering, energy, etc. His last job was actually in shipping management in the maritime department. It is said that he was cheated at work and was punished by his employer.

He resigned, and then angrily joined the time travel. This person had a wide range of hobbies and had studied a lot of things. After deciding to join the time travel, he still spent a lot of time choosing a department suitable for his performance, until the executive committee recruited all the people who knew how to work in time travel.

A person with ship knowledge participated in ship driving training, and he was directly assigned to the shipping department by Ning Qi, who was in charge of personnel.

Although Xie Chun is not a marine major and cannot compare with professionals like Yue Zhiyun and Sun Changmi, he has worked in the maritime department and knows some navigation knowledge. He is better than others in the maritime department where professional talents are relatively lacking.

People who have become monks on the way are much better. They are better than those who are better than those who are below. However, since Xie Chun once "made mistakes" at work, the position of captain is not available to him for the time being. He can only be aggrieved to be the first mate.

Already.

Xie Chun is not a big official, but his political consciousness is not low. He is one of the standard ***, that is, the Fifty Cent Party member who brings his own dry food. After the North American gang applied to join the time-travel operation, Xie Chun was the one who complained the most about it on the forum.

Chun Yi. Xie Chun believed that the joining of these Yankees would bring extremely harmful liberal ideas to the time-travel team, and this kind of ideas would be extremely dangerous in another time and space where close unity is needed to survive and develop. But later

After repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, the executive committee finally agreed to join the North American gang. Xie Chun continued to write an article on the forum angrily complaining that this "planted a time bomb for the entire time-travel team."

In the past few days when the rookies were training on the Haicang ship, almost every time they encountered these two sailboats from the North American Gang, they would be teased by them like today. Xie Chun has long been dissatisfied with this. It’s just that the current executive committee

All the housekeepers went to Base No. 2 and couldn't find a formal way to complain, so they could only vent their anger by swearing.

But Sun Changmi knew very well that it would be useless even if Xie Chun went to make trouble with the higher authorities. The reason why the executive committee would ignore nationality, ideology and other issues to introduce this group of people was mainly because of their abilities. He had to admit that

, it is difficult to find a few people among the existing time-travelers who can be both crew members and soldiers like these Americans, and they also have their own professional skills. At least those Wang Tom and Sun Chang who are said to be very good at sailing.

Mi knew very well that his navigation skills and experience were definitely far superior to his own and Yue Zhiyun's, and this kind of thing was often something that could not be taught or learned in school.

It is useless to fan the flames at this time. Sun Changmi went over and patted Xie Chun and said: "Okay, let them be proud for a few days! When our shipyard starts construction and starts building ships, their role at sea will become smaller and smaller. Wait for us

When heavy artillery battleships are built in the future, small sampans like theirs will only be left drooling next to them!"

Xie Chun spat hard into the sea, gritted his teeth and said, "We'll see, there will be times when they regret it!"
Chapter completed!
