Chapter 206 Sea Party (Part 3)
Qian Duoduo is now the navigator, and Li Quan serves as her messenger, loudly conveying the navigator's measurement requirements to the captains acting as surveyors, and then reporting the readings back to the navigator. [Read the latest chapter] The little girl didn’t have as much thoughts as adults, and at first she didn’t dare to give loud orders to these elders who were awe-inspiring to the locals. After being told repeatedly that this was her task, she finally let go. For a while, she felt good Like the person giving orders on the ship.
"Report the angle of the fort flagpole." Qian Duoduo lay on the chart spread out behind the bridge.
"Starboard, report the angle of the fort flagpole!" Li Quan shouted loudly.
"Starboard report! The angle of the fort flagpole is Zheng Shangjie loudly reported the measurement results. She held a digital measuring compass in her hand. Overlay the target with the center line in the eyepiece through the telescope, press the measurement button, and read out on the LCD reading window Reading. The entire compass has true north as zero degrees and the full range is set as 36o degrees.
Hearing the readings loudly sent back by Li Quan, Qian Duoduo drew a long thin line on the position of the fort on the chart. Then she turned sideways in the direction of the Customs Building and Fengcheng Wheel. The current position of the sailboat can be determined on the chart based on the directions of the two reference objects. The third reference object is used to check the accuracy of the measurement. If the directions of the three reference objects can be measured quickly and accurately, the three lines will converge on a point, otherwise a triangular intersection area will appear.
After a period of contact, the precision and accuracy of measurement and drawing have improved. Qian Duoduo continued to erase the excess carbon lines, leaving only the measurement points and navigation tracks. She also looked at the direction of the ribbon on the top of the mast from time to time, and asked the captain to report the course, and then told everyone whether to maintain the course, turn or change the sail. After sailing with the wind for a period of time, Qian Shuiting suggested turning the boat around and practicing sailing against the wind. He soon regretted this advice, because Qian Duoduo greatly increased the frequency of sail changes, keeping several boatmen busy. This was nothing to Bei Wei and Xue Ziliang, but to Qian Shuiting, who was sitting in the office, it was still a bit too much even though his body was much stronger than when he traveled through time. He first changed positions with Qian Shuixie, and then asked Zhou Weisen to provide guidance to the two little girls to reduce the number of sail changes. Excessive sail changes will lose the momentum of the ship and cause the ship to always run at a low level. Therefore, mastering the course and the timing of changing sails in headwind are important indicators for measuring the experience level of the captain and navigator.
Bei Wei was very interested in the sailing skills of this kind of sailing ship. As the chief officer of the special forces, he is not interested in battleships or cruisers, but small ships that can adapt to various coastal activities in sea areas and are used to transport and cover infiltration teams. In his opinion, the Feiyun has a dexterous hull, a reasonable structure, and especially a simple sail. If it can be copied, it will be a good vehicle for the special reconnaissance team to carry out coastal infiltration and combat operations. While steering the sail, he paid attention to every navigation and operation command, observed the movements of Zhou Weisen who was steering the helm, and asked questions one by one about the things he didn't understand.
"This skill should also be taught to the special reconnaissance team." Bei Wei wiped his sweat with a towel, "Crafts are a very useful skill for scouts."
"Although we can't build an air crew squadron within ten years, we can at least build a boat squadron." Chen Sigen drank juice - because he wasn't going to play with guns, he mixed the juice with rum. "Pooh, you can't do the same," he said. bsp; Xue Ziliang is currently courting Salina - he has been busy with the security war for several months, which means that he has left Salina in the cold for several months. This time he finally comes back and is ready to seize the time to get Salina into bsp ; Hearing someone talking to him, Xue Ziliang had to respond: "I can only use a motorboat or a kayak, and I can't sail. "As he said that, he continued chatting with Salina.
"Qian Shuixi knows how to sail a boat, let him help everyone learn more." Qian Shuiting quickly promoted his brother.
"Okay, but he is now the squad leader in Sanya." Bei Wei thought about it, "Let's build a few small sailboats and train them in Sanya. The sea training conditions there are better."
Lin Chuanqing said: "It's better to use this kind of digital instrument less often - fools are stupid enough. Even if they don't know how long they can be used, they still have to use old-fashioned equipment. It's complicated and complicated. At least it can be repaired and made. . I was particularly uncomfortable with those days just after D-Day - I was used to radars and navigators. Suddenly I had to calculate everything by hand and I fainted."
When he said this, he was cutting open fish and lobster on the working table to make sashimi. In no time, a large plate was filled. Wu Nanhai grew a small amount of horseradish on the farm, as well as a lot of mustard and soy sauce. Oysters and whole fish are also grilled on the bbq grill. Lin Shenhe sprinkled spices on the fish from time to time. Waves of aroma hit my nostrils. Shi Niao Ren had already started eating.
Everyone immediately started discussing the issue of equipment. So far, Chuan Chuan Group’s precision instrument equipment manufacturing is still blank. Although a standard weighing instrument workshop has been established to manufacture various weighing instruments, various precision instruments, including Telescopes, vernier calipers, sextants, etc. are basically still used from the inventory of old time and space.
"The bottleneck of precision instruments and equipment is not so easy to break through." Shi Niaoren said while eating charcoal-grilled oysters and drinking a rum-and-juice soda, "The Planning Institute only has a plan, and no investment has been made yet. I don’t know where the special processing equipment is yet. If there is anything near precision instruments now, it’s probably the surgical instruments made by the medical equipment factory—it’s barely usable.”
"The issue of equipping officers with binoculars was mentioned in the plan review meeting after the second counter-encirclement and suppression campaign and the Pearl River Crusade. I wonder if it was included on the agenda?"
"With the efficiency of the executive committee, it will be good to think about it by next summer."
"Actually, the efficiency of the Executive Committee is still very high - but they are basically a bunch of bureaucrats. They love procedures." Because of his special status, Shi Niaoren often comes into contact with the senior members of the Executive Committee and is very familiar with their ideas. "Wen Zong is a European and American bureaucracy, while Du Gong is a socialist bureaucracy."
"Bureaucracy is neither social nor capital." Lin Shenhe said. He was very careful not to join in the specific comments. "When it comes to optical instruments, someone from the Ministry of Science and Technology is ready to start working on them. It's my specialty." . I heard that I’m going to start with old huajing mirrors.”
"How many spectacle lenses do you need? Doesn't the Ministry of Health have computerized automatic lens grinding machines and resin lenses?"
Lin Shenhe sprinkled some black pepper on the oysters, sprinkled some green onions, picked up one with a fork, blew on it and put it into his mouth: "That's for the elders. How many people can enjoy it? We will grind it later." What should I do if the camera is broken?”
"Old hua glasses can also be used as a growth point for trade. There are sales for old hua glasses and myopia glasses, and magic mirrors can also be sold."
"There were people in the Ming Dynasty who could grind glasses. They all had these." Shi Niaoren opened a raw oyster, squeezed some lemon juice on it and swallowed it directly, "But people in the Ming Dynasty didn't have glass, so they used the best ones." crystal."
"It's such a waste. The craftsmen will grab a few to do the work."
"They are willing to do it, but I don't dare to ask for it. I guess the craftsmen are good at craftsmanship, but they have no idea about the diopter."
"I heard that making glasses is in Nanjing, but I don't know if it's true or not."
A few people chatted casually and quickly cleared away the basket of oysters. On weekdays, no one wanted to take a second look at the oyster soup and other things served in the cafeteria. Here they were blowing the sea breeze and drinking small wine - ―Qian Shuiting specially took out a few bottles of red wine and white wine produced in California from the wine cellar of Feiyun, and opened another bottle of Wuliangye. The wine was brought on board the rental yacht and would be paid upon return, while Wuliangye was bought in the United States before their trip. Not only is it not expensive to buy domestically produced famous wines in the United States, there are almost no fakes. The Qian brothers and Zhou Weisen had a few drinks and bought a lot when they had nothing to do.
After sailing for a while, Qian Duoduo finally had enough of commanding and asked an adult to take her and her friends to ride jet skis. As part of the sailboat rental, there are two jet skis on board. Although they had fun for a while in Hawaii, when they embarked on the voyage to Hainan, in order to save gasoline and machinery, the two jet skis drained the fuel and oil and put them in plastic protective covers. After the time-travel, they proposed to hand over the two jet skis, but both the navy and the port management felt that they had no protective capabilities and could not undertake combat missions. They also burned gasoline and required mechanical maintenance. In the end, only the Ministry of Science and Technology requisitioned one for storage as an STC, and the other one was left by Feiyun so that it could only be used in emergencies.
In order to be able to play with this motorcycle, the Qian brothers put a lot of thought into it, including asking about the possibility of changing it to gas power or using alcohol. Of course, these were impossible.
No one has gasoline at the moment, and there is no gasoline available for the Feiyun's motive. The gasoline brought from another time and space has been used up. Now the Ministry of Chemical Industry can obtain a small amount of gasoline by refining and fractionating coal tar, but it is impossible to ration it. sī people use it for entertainment - liquid fuel is a first-level controlled material, which is stricter than the use of weapons and ammunition. It was extremely difficult to get hold of some gasoline.
In the end, Qian Shuiting finally pumped out some "bottom oil" from the yacht's fuel tank with a hand pump, which was actually the oil at the bottom of the tank, because the engine oil pump could not pump out the oil accumulated at the bottom of the tank.
A lot of oil came out of Chou, but since it had been stored for almost three years, no one knew whether the oil could be used. Qian Shuiting had no choice but to give it a try, put the oil into the motorcycle and started moving it. The engine started to run normally after a burst of black smoke.
