The two of them were walking and shopping, but they were actually surveying the conditions of several piers. A lot of people flow, which means high security. Fan Keqin and Zhuang Xiaoman follow the flow of people every time, so the safety will naturally be higher.

.

There were several wharves in the Guangzhou Port in this era, but not many people in later generations can explain them clearly. The records that can be found are not comprehensive or detailed.

Fan Keqin can now be among them, but he has no intention of counting them clearly, because there are indeed many large and small piers. And there are too many small piers for ships near the sea, which has no meaning for the purpose of his trip.

He didn't have time to count.

He and Zhuang Xiaoman are currently mainly observing deep-sea docks or cargo docks. After all, his target is a warship, and it has a displacement of over 10,000 tons. It is impossible for such a ship to park on a small dock. If it runs aground,

It took a lot of effort to drag it back into the sea.

Every time he sees a deep-sea terminal or a large cargo terminal, Fan Keqin records the location of the terminal, the surrounding environment, etc. in detail in his mind. He is very proficient in using the image memory method, and now he can see it on the spot.

At first glance, an exaggerated statement is that his eyes are like cameras. After seeing it, the situation on the ground is firmly imprinted in his mind. Unless he does not deliberately recall it, even if a long time has passed, he will

I won't forget it either.

The specific topography of docks is basically relatively low. Because of the sea level, if there are slight hills or something around it, it will appear higher. This terrain height difference applies to almost all docks around the world.

After walking around the area, Fan Keqin and Zhuang Xiaoman had lunch at a small restaurant near the port. Then they headed directly to a higher terrain they had predicted in advance.

On the pier, maybe because of the flow of people, buildings and other obstructions, we can't see the surrounding higher terrain. But there must still be open ground that allows people to see clearly the situation in the distance. This is the case for Fan Keqin and others.

While observing at the port, I also paid attention to the situation in the distance. Finally, I chose a highland with a small forest.

After waiting, Fan Keqin led Zhuang Xiaoman into the woods. The two of them walked carefully and came to the edge of the woods, and began to use a wide angle to observe the situation at the port.

Zhuang Xiaoman doesn't understand this kind of observation very well. Therefore, he is mainly responsible for watching over Fan Keqin, who conducts the observation.

It is said that the appearance of Guangzhou Port is very different from what it will look like a few decades later. This is mainly due to the limitations of the times. Designers cannot use such strong imagination and creativity. From Fan Keqin's current perspective, on the contrary,

The port doesn't seem too big.

There is one deep-sea dock and two cargo docks. However, these places are all on the left side of the entire port. This is also a normal phenomenon. Even if a layman designs it, he will not compare a dock that can berth large ships with those ordinary ones.

The small piers are staggered back and forth and mixed together, which is really confusing.

Freight terminals are usually used for unloading cargo ships with at least thousands of tons, or large ships with thousands of tons, or even tens of thousands of tons. In the past, there was a flat land for cargo distribution in front, and when working, workers would move the cargo on board.

The goods are first unloaded on the flat ground, and then trucks or something like that are used to pull them away.

Therefore, although the name of the cargo terminal seems to be for transporting cargo, in fact, it is no problem to dock a warship of 10,000 tons of any size. It is even more convenient. After all, loading and unloading, what supplies are needed for the warship?

The closer, the faster the loading and unloading speed.

The Deep Sea Terminal was actually originally a passenger terminal. When it was redesigned and constructed, it was designed to allow the entire port to dock large passenger ships, cruise ships and other ocean-going ships. After all, people and goods cannot be loaded and unloaded in the same place.

It's so messy.

But it is also because of the limitations of the times that the cargo loading volume is not as vigorous as it would be a few decades later. Thousands of tons, or even tens or millions of tons, are handled every day. Therefore, the deep-sea terminal and the two cargo terminals are not too far apart, so it is not that far away.

It's just less than three hundred meters away.

After Fan Keqin memorized all of this in his mind, he began to observe the terrain at the far end, on the left side of the passenger terminal. He was looking for a place that was hidden, safe, and inconspicuous.

You know, not everywhere is suitable for going into the sea. We usually go to the beach and see waves in the water, but we don’t feel dangerous.

But you have to remember that it is an artificially developed beach. But if you go to swim in a place that has not been artificially developed, it may be difficult to even get into the sea.

Why? For example, rocks, such as hard ground on the beach, these things interact with the waves, and the impact force formed cannot be resisted by human beings. You say how good your swimming skills are, but let me tell you, it is of no use at all.

theory of force

Maybe you just jumped into the water, and a wave came and hit you directly on the reef, breaking your bones and muscles, or even killing you instantly. So this has nothing to do with your swimming skills, it just depends on your swimming skills.

It depends on where you choose to enter the water.

Now Fan Keqin is far away, but he can also distinguish the general terrain and make a preliminary judgment. At a glance, they are all banks or black reefs, which are absolutely forbidden. The frogman team

There is a possibility that as soon as you get out, you will be washed to the hard ground by the sea water, causing a large number of injuries, or even the whole army will be destroyed.

So Fan Keqin had to find a place with a buffer, just like an artificial beach. Although the waves come, the beach will slowly dissolve the force, so the people above can have fun without any scruples, or swim in the water, because even if the waves are high

If you come here, you won't hit yourself against rocks. You just have to keep swimming forward.

Sure enough, it is still difficult to choose a safe place to launch a boat on the shore. At least within 500 meters of the pier, there is a black reef bank. Fan Keqin can only look further.

Long, I started to observe farther away. But it was a pity that I continued to look further into the distance, and saw that there was still a continuous stretch of black for hundreds of meters.

Huh? Under Fan Keqin's careful observation, he suddenly noticed that in a black undulating area, two people suddenly walked up on a black place that was concave toward the mainland. Looking at their walking postures, it was quite striking.

Calmly, apparently walked up through the gap in the black reef.
