1161: C1161 Through the Canal

C1161 Through the Canal

In this world, there are two major canals, one was the canals of Long-staple Cotton Country, the main course of the world. The other was the Baima Na canals, which were connected to the two oceans, the Peaceful Ocean and the Daxi Ocean. It could greatly reduce the time needed for sailing.

In the past, this place was controlled by the Y Country, until 1979. After a long struggle, the local people finally gained the rights to the canal here. However, it would take another 20 years to fully control this place.

Now, as they gradually approached the canal, Qin Guan stood at the head of the warship and looked at the scene on both sides. He sighed in his heart.

The scene here was very spectacular. The tall gatehouse slowly appeared in front of him.

"Stop, stop the ship!" At this time, at the bow of the ship, a Baima Navigator navigator shouted.

If you want to pass through the canal here, you have to go through complicated procedures. At the same time, you also need a navigator to lead the way. These navigators were familiar with the water route. They stayed on the ship until the ship left the canal. Along with waiting time, the ship might need 15 to 20 hours to successfully cross the canal. Once the ship was allowed to pass, the average time it took to cross from deep water to deep water was 9 hours.

Now, this navigator was in his forties. His entire body was sunburned into bronze color, and his eyes were sharp. Following his shout, the huge warship stopped.

"Hualala," a soft sound was heard.

The ship turned around. After the ship became bigger, it was very difficult to operate. If a ten thousand ton ship wanted to shake its body, it had to be controlled carefully.

In order to protect the water valve, before the boat entered the water valve, it had to go through a protective chain that was pulled between the two walls of the entrance. If everything was done properly, the zipper would fall into the groove at the bottom of the waterway. If the ship moved too fast, for safety's sake, the zipper would tighten. Thus, the ship would crash into the protective chain. At this moment, the protective chain controlled by the hydraulic device on the gate wall would automatically loosen. Slowly, it would be released until the ship was stopped.

Now, the ship and the protective chain made a slight sound of collision and finally, it gently stopped.

The electric motorcycle on the top of the gate began to pull the ship, slowly passing through the water valve.

It was as if Zhang Fei was wearing an embroidery needle.

The ship gently swayed and slowly entered the valve, slowly moving forward in the sailing route.

The navigator continuously issued orders one by one.

A huge object appeared in front of them, it was a ship that was heading towards them!

The two ships were slowly approaching. At this moment, if their jumping ability was better, they could even jump onto the other ship!

The two ships slowly parallel to each other. Even Qin Guan could not help holding his breath, but the navigator was relaxed. They could see such a scene every day.

The canal here could pass 80 thousand tons of cargo ships, and the maximum width of the cargo ship could be 32 meters. This way, it could allow ten thousand tons of cargo ships to pass side by side.

This way, it could save a lot of time and increase efficiency.

Finally, the ship entered a lake.

The navigator heaved a sigh of relief. He could relax now.

"Brother, your work is great" Qin Guan was bored and started to chat with the navigator.

"This is a miracle that only God can create." The navigator said, "I am working for God."

The navigator was very pious.

"How many years have you worked for?"

"It's been 15 years. All these years, the canal has been full of people every day." Saying that, he loudly shouted towards the other side. Clearly, he was greeting the navigator on the other side.

"It's been fifteen years, then you rarely go home, right?"

Speaking of going home, that was definitely an eternal topic, Qin Guan said so. The navigator looked very sad. "Yeah, originally, my home wasn't far from here. However, there's no bridge here, so it's very inconvenient to travel between the two shores."

Bridge!

Once there was a large river, it would be very inconvenient for people to travel back and forth. They would all build bridges to facilitate transportation, and the canal here was artificially constructed. After it was excavated, it would be inconvenient for people on both sides to pass through.2

This was how the navigator was separated from each other. His home was on the south bank, and his parents were on the north bank. It had been many years since he had returned home.

If it were an ordinary river, it would be possible to drive a small boat back and forth between the two sides of the river. However, this was a canal, and there were countless boats passing by every day. It was impossible to allow a small boat to sail back and forth between the two sides of the river.

Every day, the young man would be on the navigator's boat, looking at his parents' home. However, he couldn't go over. It was a very uncomfortable feeling.

"Young man, don't worry. In the future, there will definitely be a bridge here to connect to the two banks, making the traffic on both sides more convenient." Qin Guan said.

"Really?" The young man was overjoyed.

It must be. In the future, when the canal is returned to you and you have money, you will naturally consider building bridges on the canal. There should be four or five bridges in the future.

At that time, the North Industrial Company could also participate in the bidding. The Han Country in the future was a construction maniac. There was nothing that could not be settled.

After sailing past the lake, there was another narrow sailing route on the other side. The construction of the canal here was much bigger than the ones in the Long-staple Cotton Country. The water levels on both sides were different. Every time they passed through the canal, they would open the gate and release a lot of fresh water from the lake.

Fortunately, there was a lot of rainfall here, so the water level of the lake wouldn't drop.

The three ships passed through the canal and entered the Daxi Ocean.

The peaceful ocean was calm, but once they reached the Daxi Ocean, the waves became stronger.

After a few days, Xiang Jing had gotten used to the life on the ocean. Apart from her body losing two or three kilograms, her complexion was slowly getting better.

Xiang Jing looked at the waves hitting the hull of the ship and looking at the azure ocean. She did not know what she was thinking.

"The navy of Cattle Country is getting closer and closer to Donkey Island. The war might break out soon." Qin Guan said.

"Yes."

"The Silver People still hasn't moved. It seems like we have to wait for the people of Cattle Country to attack first. Only then can they fight back. When they fight back, they will definitely make the aircraft carrier of Cattle Country their primary target." Qin Guan continued.

"Yes."

"That Andrew was driving a helicopter on the Invincible aircraft carrier. If the Anti-ship Missile flew over, his helicopter would have to fly over to block the missile."

"En."

"Do you really not have any reaction?" Qin Guan was very curious.

"It doesn't matter what I feel. What matters is what we can do." Xiang Jing said, "War is always cruel. People have to die."

Xiang Jing had no idea how many battles she had experienced. Life and death were not important to her.

However, why did she have a special feeling in her heart?

Was she still worried about him?
