The "Beining" aircraft carrier sailed all the way east, conducting high-intensity flight training while sailing. The three escorting "Qing" class cruisers faithfully performed their missions and patrolled around the aircraft carrier. The accompanying "Hulun Lake"

The comprehensive supply ship "" has been providing fresh vegetables, fruits, bottled mineral water and reliable medical support to the fleet, making it the most popular warship.

The "Hulun Lake", like the "Xingkai Lake", is a "Lake" class large-scale ocean-going comprehensive supply ship of the Beining Navy. It has a full load displacement of 20,000 tons and uses two medium-sized ships with a single power of 12,000 horsepower.

High-speed diesel engine propulsion main engine, twin-shaft twin propellers, maximum speed of 23 knots, endurance of 10,000 nautical miles/15 knots. It can supply more than two ships at the same time, and the cargo capacity is 10,000 tons of fuel, 300 tons of fresh water, and dry cargo and ammunition

600 tons. This time, a large amount of fresh vegetables, fruits and bottled mineral water were specially carried in the cold storage on the ship, reducing the amount of canned and convenience foods that are inferior in taste and nutrition. First, because there are

Kang Fan and Mei Xiang are here, and the second is to improve the diet quality of all crew members during high-intensity training. The self-defense weapons are 2 double-barreled 37mm naval guns and 4 double-barreled 12.7mm machine guns. There is also a small hospital on the ship.

, which can provide basic medical support at sea for the crew of each ship. Coupled with the medical center on the "Bac Ninh" aircraft carrier, the officers and soldiers participating in this voyage training can enjoy good medical services.

When the fleet was still one day away from the Marshall Islands, two "Seahawk" amphibious aircraft from the Coast Guard stationed at the Kwajalein base came to greet them. One of the "Seahawk" aircraft was almost right next to the aircraft carrier above people's heads.

Flying over the deck at a slow speed, the pilot on board opened the door and dropped a large bag of coconuts with a note on it that read: For the beautiful Governor's wife.

"My wife has charmed so many great guys in my army!" Kang Fan said sourly.

Mei Xiang looked proud, with the corners of her mouth raised.

Kwajalein Atoll is the largest atoll in the Marshall Islands. Although the land area is only a little over 15 square kilometers, the area of ​​the diamond-shaped lagoon surrounded by more than 90 reef islands is very huge, almost as large as the jurisdiction of Ninhwu Prefecture.

The water and sky are vast and endless as far as the eye can see. The sea outside the lagoon is rough, but inside the lagoon it is calm and calm, which is very magical.

The Kwajalein Naval Weapons Test Base is built on an uninhabited island in the Kwajalein Atoll. The base was established here because of this huge lagoon, which can conduct tests or training missions on new combat ships, aircraft and ship-borne weapons.

, avoiding Majuro, the administrative center of the Marshall Islands, a densely populated island and reef, which is more conducive to the confidentiality of military operations.

Kwajalein Island, the largest island in the Kwajalein Atoll, is long and narrow and curved in the middle, shaped like a banana with one end facing north and the other facing west. It is another population center in the Marshall Islands.

After the "Bac Ninh" aircraft carrier sailed from the open sea into the lagoon through a narrow waterway, the hull immediately became extremely stable. The water in the lagoon is clear and transparent, very bright under the sunlight, and the colorful corals and swimming fish in the lagoon are clearly visible.

There are fishing sails dotted on the lagoon, and various ships are moored at the docks on the shore. Most of them are merchant ships of Bac Ninh Ocean Shipping Company, fishing vessels of Bac Ninh Ocean Fisheries Company, and naval transport ships sailing from Taiwan Island. There are also a small number of marine vessels.

Police ships, local and foreign fishing boats and merchant ships, the flags of various colors on the masts of each ship are flying in the sea breeze. Between the sea and the sky, flocks of seabirds are circling and singing over the green islands... Here is the same as the Qing Dynasty

The mainland of the empire is more than 5,000 kilometers away, making it a veritable "overseas territory" of the Qing Empire.

The fleet crossed Kwajalein Island and sailed into the lagoon. It rested at the naval base in the atoll for two weeks. During this period, it conducted carrier-based aircraft attack training on sea targets in the lagoon before continuing to the Caroline Islands.

Conduct adaptive training. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kang Fan took Mei Xiang to Pohnpei Island to stay for a while.

Pohnpei Island is the island with the largest permanent population among the Donghua Islands. It has a total area of ​​more than 300 square kilometers and is approximately circular. It is a volcanic island surrounded by coral reefs. The highest peak on the island, nearly 800 meters above sea level, is Donghua.

The highest peak in the province. The soil here is fertile, the rainfall is abundant, and the flora and fauna are flourishing. Coffee, pepper, spices, coconuts, bananas, mangoes, etc. are all over the island. There are many lagoons of different sizes around the island, and the coast is surrounded by mangrove swamps.

, the central mountainous area is a tropical rain forest with beautiful scenery, with rumbling waterfalls in the forest and swarms of fish swimming in the rivers. Looking up into the distance, you can see tall mountains rising into the blue sky, and green vegetation covering the entire island like a thick velvet blanket.

The sea water is clear and blue, and the natural geographical environment is much better than the poor Majuro and Kwajalein islands with small land areas.

The towns on Pohnpei Island are very lively, full of restaurants, hotels and shops opened by Chinese immigrants. The food and accommodation conditions are quite good. Mei Xiang, who likes seafood, is quite addicted. The two of them do not only eat

He sleeps like crazy and runs all over the island, causing the officers and soldiers of several guard battalions responsible for protecting them to look for them every day and complain endlessly.

Coincidentally, Kang Fan and Mei Xiang met several of Mei Xiang's classmates here. As scientists, they were invited by the Bac Ninh Coast Guard Headquarters to participate in the marine scientific expedition aboard the large ocean-going scientific research vessel "Haiyang 3".

, just in time to go to Pohnpei Island for fresh water and material replenishment. This scientific research project is the second formal survey of the islands and reefs, marine environment, biological resources, seabed topography, etc. in the southeastern waters of Donghua Province. By the way,

These islands, reefs, sea areas, straits, etc. must also be renamed to Chinese names, and accurate charts must be marked.

Everyone was so happy to see each other and had a great time.

Now, Bac Ninh is developing well in all aspects. The most important scientific research undertakings have received large sums of funding, and various scientific researches are carried out vigorously. In addition to the Bac Ninh Academy of Science directly under the government, other government departments have also established their own institutions.

The scientific research institutions and scientific and technological talent teams are proactive in their respective professional fields, and they have also cooperated on some important government scientific research projects. Under the unified organization of Bac Ninh Academy of Sciences, they have achieved remarkable achievements.

This government-led sharing mechanism is a very prominent advantage compared to the contemporary world capitalist powers. It can concentrate manpower and material resources to the greatest extent, give full play to collective wisdom and strength, and eliminate unnecessary artificial losses and industry barriers.

Do more and do good deeds. The participation of these students from Mei Xiang in the scientific expedition of "Ocean 3" is a typical example of cooperation between various departments.

Of course, the most urgent scientific research cooperation project at present is the prevention and control of the upcoming influenza epidemic sweeping the world.

During their stay on Pohnpei Island, Mei Xiang mentioned a chilling history to Kang Fan: In 1918, when the First World War was going on crazily, an influenza that swept the world had killed tens of millions of people around the world.

The death toll actually exceeded the total number of military and civilian deaths in World War I! Among them, the death toll in the entire Asia, including China at that time, exceeded 10 million! This was also one of the many reasons that led to the end of World War I

one.

Kang Fan knew about this period of history, but he didn't quite understand the whole story. Now that he heard Mei Xiang mention it, he knew that she would soon join her classmates in busy work.

"After this trip is over, I should go back and arrange prevention work. In addition, I also plan to inform other countries about the epidemic of infectious diseases that have spread around the world, so that they can also take preventive measures at the same time," Mei Xiang said.

Kang Fan smiled bitterly, "The war is ongoing, who will pay attention to your advice? Besides, even if they pay attention, in their eyes it is just a prediction of yours. Who would believe that a young Chinese beauty doctor proposed that mankind will

Facing predictions of a major disaster two years from now?”

Mei Xiang's eyes were firm, "I will inform the governments of various countries no matter what. This is related to the lives of tens of millions of people. Moreover, this year, the Bac Ninh Academy of Sciences, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Social Security and other departments will jointly begin to implement the nationwide

prevention work. I want to do things like you and save the lives of thousands of Chinese compatriots through my proactive efforts!"

Kang Fan hugged her excitedly and said affectionately: "She is my Kang Fan's wife after all!"

At this moment, the setting sun has dyed the sea into a golden color, the sea breeze blows through the dense coconut trees, and the white seabirds fly between the sea and sky as beautiful as a dream. The sun-baked beach still exudes residual heat, just like Kang Fan.

As warm as the embrace of Mei Xiang. Mei Xiang stretched out on the beach with Kang Fan's legs, and fell asleep in the sound of waves. Kang Fan looked at Mei Xiang's beautiful appearance with great interest, and couldn't help but feel passionate...

After returning to Bac Ninh, Mei Xiang immediately started arranging influenza prevention work.

The work will first be carried out within the jurisdiction of Bac Ninh, and then expanded to the whole country. The focus of prevention work will be on the mainland of the Qing Empire. By then, an offshore blockade will be formed with Sakhalin Island, the Korean Peninsula, Taiwan Island and Hainan Island, and the Qing Dynasty will be

The risk level of the empire's land and sea borders has been raised to severe, which restricts, reduces or even stops the international exchange of materials and personnel, and implements strict quarantine and inspection procedures for materials and personnel entering and exiting the country. However, in order to ensure minimum economic activities, Nanhua Province will

As the only foreign trade region that continues to open to the outside world, Nanhua Province will become the forefront of epidemic prevention and control, and will definitely be the area with the most severe epidemic. Therefore, the epidemic prevention and control work in Nanhua Province worries Mei Xiang the most, and given that

The importance of this work meant that Kang Fan had to accompany him as a matter of course.

At present, all kinds of infrastructure in Bac Ninh are quite complete. The harmonious coexistence and development of modern civilization and natural ecology have created a beautiful, clean and tidy living environment, and also created people with superior living conditions and healthy bodies and minds.

The complete tiered education system has cultivated a large number of medical professionals, and is supported by advanced medical technology, strong pharmaceutical and medical device development and production capabilities, and complete national medical service institutions and systems, as well as the extensive appeal of government departments.

As well as the modern radio communication/broadcasting network, information can be quickly transmitted to every corner of the jurisdiction, making the epidemic prevention and control work a social activity with the participation of all people. All of this has enabled the epidemic prevention and control work to proceed smoothly, which has also allowed the epidemic prevention and control work to be carried out smoothly.
