C2593 Lower Speed
Cang Hai's Floating Dock sailed on the sea's surface. This Floating Dock was a super large steel Floating Dock. It could bear the construction of oil ships, cargo ships, large cargo ships, and other large sea buildings. At the same time, , it could also be used for docking, rebuilding, and manufacturing of large ships and marine projects. As the largest steel monster in Han Country, this Floating Dock Dock was 340 meters long. It was 76 meters wide and 27 meters deep. It could lift up a force of 100,000 tons.
It could be seen that using it to transport aircraft carriers was almost certain. In fact, this Floating Dock really had this goal.
The captain of the Floating Dock, Liu Yang, was a sailor who had been drifting outside for a long time. On his bronze face, there were two sparkling eyes looking at the distant sea.
As a self-sailing Floating Dock, its driving force was not strong. After all, most of the Floating Dock only needed to have the ability to move. Using a low-speed diesel engine was the most common method, but this Floating Dock was different. It used a gas turbine as its power source! Although it was a gas turbine modified from Spey, it was enough to drive this Floating Dock to sail at a speed of 10 knots above the sea!
At the same time, other than the advanced power system, its other equipment... For example, the super large drainage pump and valve. These devices could be remotely operated, at the captain's place, there is an advanced central control room that can be remotely controlled. The structure is reasonable, the degree of automation is high. Therefore, in the entire dock, Staff only had ten people.
On the side of the Floating Dock, there were four large cranes. One of the cranes was especially large, like a small castle. The crew usually lived here, and the bridge was also set up here.
Of course, these were not enough. In order to sail faster, Friendship was dragging it forward. There was nothing else other than speeding back.
Of course, the Han people also had sufficient reasons. It was a costly Floating Dock. The cost of using it was very high. One more day. The more money they lost, the more money they lost. They didn't ask for money from the people of Y Country. It was already not bad. Why would anyone question their actions?
It was unreasonable!
Captain Liu Yang looked at the sea in the distance, then at the nautical chart in front of him, and said: "Right now, we are about to cross the Six Barrel Straits!"
The route here should be the most dangerous. Fortunately, they were about to pass through. As long as they passed through this sea, they would be safe. The naval ships were also rushing over at high speed and would meet up with them at the front.
"Captain, you are amazing. Without the help of the satellite navigation system, you can also accurately know the location of your ship." Beside him, the first mate Li Qiang said.
Now, the Big Dipper Navigation System of Han Country had been used on all kinds of ships. After all, it was the most difficult to locate one's ship while drifting on the sea. Since they had advanced equipment, they naturally had to use it.
Liu Yang smiled, "The history of sailing in the world has been over a thousand years. In the past, there was no satellite tracking. Can't ships be used? As old sailors, we have to have our own methods. High-tech things might lose their effectiveness "
In an era without satellite positioning, the technology of sailors is what we rely on... By using a hexagonal device to determine one's position, coupled with a nautical chart, they could move forward properly on the sea. Young people nowadays... They just wanted to slack off!
Just as the two of them were talking, a rumbling sound came from the distant sky. A helicopter flew over. It was very obvious that it was heading towards them!
Liu Yang immediately frowned. What was going on? What was the origin of this helicopter?
Liu Yang picked up the telescope and very quickly, he saw the Lion City logo on the helicopter. So it was from the Lion City. Why were they here? Airship filming?
Their own Floating Dock was dragging such a huge aircraft carrier. The aircraft carrier was still tilted on the Floating Dock. If it wasn't for a few adjustments to the water cabinet of the Floating Dock, only by allowing the Floating Dock to tilt would the aircraft carrier be able to lift up a little. Otherwise, the aircraft carrier would have been lying on the ground.
Anyone would find this scene interesting. If it was some reporter, perhaps they wanted to capture the aircraft carrier to attract the attention of others.
"Listen up, the ship in front." At this moment, the helicopter started to shout.
It was the coastal guards of Lion City!
The sailing route here was a famous golden waterway in the world. It was the throat of many countries on the sea, the lifeline. But... Different from other canals, the sailing route here is international... Countries along the coast have no right to charge.
Since they could not charge, they had to think of another way. This was service. The countries along the coast were all in the service industry. Among them, although Lion City was small, it was the fastest to develop.
Of course, there were many unique conditions. Lion City was the port. It developed the longest and had the most complete set of facilities. The system in Lion City was very modern, similar to the system in Western Countries, etc. In short, among the three countries along the coast, in the port of Lion City... The number of ships docked was the most.
They usually only served these ships as transfers. They had never seen the Lion City interfere with passing ships. They did not have the authority to do so. Now, what was this helicopter planning to do?
"The sailing route has been busy recently. There are many ships nearby. For the safety of the sailing route, please lower the speed!" The helicopter had already flown up. It circled above their heads and shouted.
They did not have the authority to order, so they could only request for cooperation. However, the other party's request was reasonable.
As the Golden Water Path, there were many ships passing by here. Then... There might be some unexpected situations, such as crashing into a ship. This was also a very large group. It was easy to fly, but to change direction and avoid crashing, and so on and so forth, they had to change direction. That was not easy!
In recent years, there had been such accidents almost every year.
This was also for their own good. They were unwilling to cause more trouble. If there was a collision that caused the aircraft carrier to sink, then their mission would fail.2
"Please take back the cable of the trailer ahead. We will use our own power to slow down to five knots and move forward!" Liu Yang shouted.
In the distance, they could already see many cargo ships. They were getting closer and closer to the Lion City. They had indeed overlooked this point. The rope of the tow ship was released, and it lost the help of the tow ship. The speed of the Floating Dock immediately decreased. The high-speed operating gas turbine... They also began to lower the power. They had to concentrate their attention to prevent any accidents from happening.
Seeing that the Floating Dock of the Cang Hai had lowered its speed, the helicopter of Lion City took the last circle and flew away.
Everything seemed to be normal. Liu Yang stood on the bridge and continued to look at the sea in the distance. A voice came from behind, "There seems to be a few boats approaching us!"
