Chapter 206: Party Three at Sea
Qian Duoduo is now the navigator, and Li Quan serves as her messenger. Every time, she loudly conveys the navigator's measurement requirements to the leaders acting as surveyors, and then reports the readings to the navigator for downloading. The little girl didn't have as much thought as adults, and at first she didn't dare to give orders loudly to these leaders, who were in awe of the locals. After being repeatedly told that this was her mission, she finally slowly let go. For a while, she seemed to be the one giving orders on the ship. people.
"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.
"The starboard side reports that the angle of the fort flagpole is 2214 degrees." Zheng Shangjie loudly reported the measurement results, holding 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 the reading on the LCD reading window. The entire compass has true north as zero and the full range is defined as 360 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 speed and accuracy of measurement and drawing have improved. Qian Duoduo continued to erase the excess carbon lines, leaving only the measurement points and navigation trajectories. 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 give guidance to the two little girls to reduce the number of sail changes. Excessive sail changes will lose the momentum of the ship and make the ship always run at a low speed. 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 maneuvering skills of this sailboat. As the chief officer of the special forces, he was not interested in battleships or cruisers, but small ships that could adapt to various coastal activities in sea areas and be used to transport and cover infiltration teams. In his opinion, the Feiyun has a dexterous hull, a reasonable structure, and is especially easy to maneuver the sails. 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 sailing, he paid attention to every navigation and operation command, observed the movements of Zhou Weisen at 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, "Boat maneuvering is a very useful skill for the 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. Can you operate a boat?"
Xue Ziliang is currently paying great attention to Salina - he has been busy with the security war for several months, which means he has left Salina in the cold for several months. This time he finally came back and prepared to seize the opportunity to deal with Salina.
Hearing someone talking to him, Xue Ziliang had no choice but to respond: "I can only use a motorboat or kayak, and I can't sail." After that, he continued chatting with Salina.
"Qian Shuixi can also 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, but they don't know how long they can be used, so they still have to develop 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 lobsters on the workbench 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. There are also oysters and whole fish grilled on the bb 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, Chuanchuan 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 old time and space inventory.
"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 soda mixed with rum and juice. "The Planning Institute only has a plan, and there is no investment yet. Special-purpose I don’t know where the processing equipment is yet. If there is anything close to precision instruments now, it’s probably the surgical instruments made by pharmaceutical equipment factories - they are 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 don't know 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 reading glasses first.”
"If you want some spectacle lenses, 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 chopped green onion, picked up one with a fork, blew on it and put it directly into his mouth: "That's for the elders. How many people can enjoy it?" What should I do if it breaks?”
"Presbyopic glasses can also be used as a growth point for trade. Reading glasses and myopia glasses are both sold, 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."
"What a waste. The craftsmen just 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 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 departure. 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 to the public, but both the Navy and the port management felt that these vehicles 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 engine - the gasoline brought from another time and space has been used up. Now the chemical industry department can obtain a small amount of gasoline by refining and fractionating coal tar, but it is impossible to ration it to private individuals. For recreational use - liquid fuel is a first-level controlled material, which is more stringent than the use of weapons and ammunition. It was extremely difficult to get hold of some gasoline.
In the end, Qian Shuiting finally managed to extract 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.
The amount of oil extracted was quite large, 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 try it out and put the oil into the motorcycle and started it. The engine actually started to run normally after emitting black smoke. To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation. Your support is my biggest motivation. ,.
