Chapter 788: Do two big things together

Chapter 788: Doing two major things together

“With helicopters and even tilt-rotor aircraft, our navy’s shortcomings have almost been filled.” On the way back, Wu Shengli said to Qin Tao with emotion.

They came to see the helicopter just out of curiosity. They didn't need to stay here for too long, and they couldn't provide any more guidance. It was enough to leave professional matters to professionals.

This is not the first time Wu Shengli has come to see a helicopter, but this time he is particularly excited. He has seen the prospect that this helicopter will be developed and will soon be equipped with the navy.

“Have the navy’s shortcomings been filled?” Qin Tao smiled.

"Is not it?"

"Almost, the technical shortcomings have been made up, and the next step is quantity." Qin Tao said: "If we want to build a powerful navy, there is a long way to go. The current strength of the navy is not enough. Went to see it.”

"Quantity? We can't rush this. Our superiors won't treat us badly. This time the old leader has also spoken. In the next few years, it will be our navy's turn to launch a force."

“Mr. Qin, I just received a piece of news.” At this moment, Xu Zhengyang interrupted.

"what news?"

“The lighthouse in the southern sea has been built.”

"Really? This is really good news!" Wu Shengli suddenly became excited: "Old Wang and the others are moving very quickly. Let's go and take a look!"

Wu Shengli was full of expectations, but then Qin Tao poured cold water on him.

“Dad, what are you going there for?” Qin Tao said, “Isn’t it just to build a lighthouse? If you go there with great fanfare, wouldn’t you be suspected?”

Wu Shengli's fiery heart cooled down. Yes, if he just built a lighthouse and ran there by himself, people would definitely be suspicious of it, so let's forget it.

“Okay, then I won’t go.”

“Xiao Ling and I will go and take a look on your behalf.”

"Why can't I go, but you and Xiaoling can go?" Wu Shengli was a little dissatisfied.

"We are a private force. Xiaoling and I often travel there. Moreover, we have developed Shuangsha Island and it is not enough. We need to develop more islands. So, let's go to Chigua Island to see if there are any problems. ?"

"Okay, it's all your fault." Wu Shengli said, "Then go ahead."

“Besides, we have more important things to do when we go to the island.” After Qin Tao finished speaking, he glanced at Xu Zhengyang.

Xu Zhengyang, who was full of energy, blushed for the first time.

"What's up?"

“Arrange a wedding for Secretary Xu.”

Wu Shengli looked at Xu Zhengyang. He was stunned for a moment, and then he understood: "Yes, it's time for a happy event. Secretary Xu should have gotten married a long time ago. It has been delayed over the years. Fortunately, with your help, we found him." A good match."

“We didn’t help. I originally wanted to help, but it almost ended up being a disservice. Secretary Xu fought for this happiness on his own.”

"Mr. Qin, please stop talking. If you tell me, I should..."

"What should I do? Be shy? Are you shy too? Besides, you have to adapt now, otherwise you won't be able to adapt when the wedding comes."

There is only one season a year in Guadalcanal, which is summer. The temperature here is high all year round. No matter what sunscreen you put on, you will get tanned.

He Qian became a black **** the island, but this did not affect her appearance. Blackness is still healthy. She has been busy on the island these days, watching the construction team go to the island, and watching all kinds of things. The building emerged from the underwater reef and gradually grew larger. Within a few days, the lighthouse was built.

This construction progress is so fast that it’s unbelievable!

She was looking up at the lighthouse that had been built. There was a roar in the distance. It was a familiar ground-effect aircraft. It fell into the water far away and then slid over here.

Thought of something, He Qian's pretty face blushed slightly, then she took long steps and ran towards the pier.

“This is our Eastern Speed. We are serious about infrastructure construction.” Qin Tao said excitedly as he looked at the erected lighthouse.

"Yes, Mr. Qin, our construction progress is very fast, far exceeding our expectations. It is precisely because of this that the outside world has no doubts. They only think that we are building a lighthouse." Wang Dazhong followed Qin Tao. , said to him.

As long as it becomes a fait accompli, those people can't help but stare. But how to achieve a fait accompli, that's one word: fast, so fast that others can't react. In their eyes, this is building a lighthouse. , in such a short time, besides building a lighthouse, can anything else be built?

"What do you mean, we are just building a lighthouse." After Qin Tao finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at the towering lighthouse: "According to our plan, it should be fifty meters long, right?"

“Yes, it is a fifty-meter lighthouse. On the sea, if there is no smoke, it can be seen thirty nautical miles away. It stands here and it is easier to indicate the route to sailors at sea.”

At the time of construction, it was originally planned to configure a 4.5-meter lantern with a lighting distance of 22 nautical miles. However, during the construction process, the most advanced light source was used, and with the same power, the lighting distance was farther.

“This is our Eastern contribution to world shipping.” Qin Tao was very proud: “Next, let’s go to the control room and have a look.”

Qin Tao and He Qian, who was running over, nodded and left. He Qian also smiled and looked at Xu Zhengyang, who came down from above.

“Brother Zhengyang, are you here?”

“Well, here I come.”

When their eyes met, what they saw was endless joy.

"Okay, don't be so affectionate. This is not a matter of a day or two. Xiaoqian, Zhengyang said that you want to hold a special wedding on Chigua Island, so I gave you all the wedding gifts. I brought it here and asked someone to move it!"

Of course Zhao Ling is indispensable for this kind of thing. She came up last. At the same time, she also held a huge flower basket in her hand, which was one of the wedding supplies.

It has never happened before to hold a wedding on a stationed island. At most, the couple would go to the island after the wedding and let the woman visit the place where her husband lives and works. Yes, there were no women on the island before. Bring the woman to the island. Too shabby for a wedding.

It’s different now. Female soldiers have gone to the island. The female soldiers asked to get married on the island, which has a more important commemorative significance.

However, in He Qian's mind, she did not plan to make a big fuss. She just wanted to hold a simple wedding. However, Zhao Ling disagreed and took care of it herself.

Xu Zhengyang and Qin Tao have been together for a long time. They have always been loyal. They are both caring secretaries and brave bodyguards. At critical moments, they even have to take bullets for Qin Tao. Now, he is getting married, and Zhao Ling is his most important person. How could his close family members not take care of it for him?

He Qian glanced inside, and then stuck out her tongue in surprise, so many?

The entire ground effect aircraft will be filled!

“Secretary Zhao, how can this be done? This is too much.”

"Not many, this is the first batch, and there is a second batch." Zhao Ling said: "We Mingzhou Group people can't get married easily, but there are still some things we can't bring, such as our Mr. Qin I bought a car for you and your wife, but you can’t transport it here. You can only put it on land so that you can use it when you go back later. However, the car keys have been brought to you, and there will be a ceremony when the time comes. "

Car?

It was only the late 1990s, and private cars were not yet widely available. Even if they were available, they were small QQ-level cars. At this time, He Qian looked at the key in Zhao Ling's hand, and the word "red flag" on it shone brightly. Looking at the light, this car is definitely worth a lot of money.

"No, Secretary Zhao, this is too expensive." He Qian shook her head repeatedly and looked at Xu Zhengyang: "Brother Zhengyang, you and Mr. Qin should talk to Secretary Zhao. Let's keep everything simple when we get married. What I like is You, as a person, are not a fortune."

Xu Zhengyang was helpless: "Xiaoqian, of course I think this is too grand, but there is no other way. Everything must be arranged by Secretary Zhao."

On the other side, Qin Tao and Wang Dazhong were still walking forward on Chigua Island, following a path emerging from the water, heading towards the lighthouse.

The lighthouse is not next to the Chiguadao station, but is separated by a distance. This distance is paved with a road, so there is no need to cross the water. Anyway, the area of the reef below is already very large, and the direction can be changed as desired.

There is a control room next to the lighthouse, which is two stories high. Outsiders can't see any clues, except that the control room is relatively large, but in fact, there is another mystery inside.

The experimental ten-megawatt high-temperature gas-cooled reactor is sitting there quietly, waiting for others to visit. This building was built on land and then transported directly, so the outside world does not know what is inside.

“The nuclear material has not yet been loaded, so this high-temperature gas-cooled reactor cannot operate yet, but we are already prepared. When the couple gets married, we will also light up the fire here at the same time, which is a double happiness.”

Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, it's double happiness. We will also set off a large number of firecrackers and fireworks. In the future, even if the chimney here is smoking, it can be said that it was caused by this firecracker."

Just for Xu Zhengyang to get married, Qin Tao had to make a big deal, but it would be more meaningful if he also did it with the ignition of the nuclear reactor.

While sending wedding supplies to Xu Zhengyang, you can also send over the materials needed for the nuclear reactor. While sending guests to Xu Zhengyang's wedding ceremony, you can also send over the staff of the nuclear power plant. This will not cause any problems. Suspect.

Standing on the top of the second floor, Qin Tao looked outside. The waves were lapping against the reef, making a roaring sound.

“How are safety issues solved?”

“During the construction, trenches were dug outside. If anyone wanted to swim over, they would definitely be discovered. At the same time, we installed cameras on the top of the lighthouse to monitor the surroundings continuously during the day and night.”

"night?"

"Yes, the light of the lighthouse is strong enough to illuminate all sides. Moreover, we have pre-arranged an anti-infantry radar on the lighthouse. Because this emits electromagnetic waves, it will only be activated when the situation is tense."

Qin Tao nodded.

 For nuclear power plants, safety is the most important issue. This safety includes two aspects: the normal operation of the system without malfunction; the interference of external forces. What if someone wants to cause sabotage and blows up the nuclear reactor to create a crisis?

Look at France, a major nuclear power country. Once there is a situation in the country, the first thing to do is to send troops to protect the nuclear power plant, just to avoid any accidents. But for our own side, this place is far away from the mainland, so security work is even more important.

However, there is no need to talk about it. After everything is prepared, you can do whatever you want. There is no need to blindly boycott nuclear power like some countries. As a result, there will be an energy crisis. If you want to eat pasta, experts will advise you. No need to boil, just soak in water.

For islands far away from the mainland, nuclear power plants are a better choice. They do not need to transport a large amount of fuel like diesel engines, nor do they need to provide electric power that is too low to drive air-conditioning equipment like solar and wind energy. A ten-megawatt nuclear power plant , enough to meet the needs of all islands and reefs in the entire southern sea.

“Have the cables been laid?” Qin Tao continued to ask.

"After it is laid, we use a special cable with an extra layer of steel plate on the outside. Even if an anchor is dropped, the cable will not be damaged. Moreover, our dredger has also covered it with a layer of sand along the way. , should be able to guarantee use for fifty to one hundred years.”

After all, Chigua Island has not been developed yet. It is relatively hidden and is a good place to build a nuclear power plant. However, the power generated by Chigua Island still needs to be transmitted to other islands. It is most suitable to lay underwater transmission lines. Way.

“Now only cables are the most suitable for transmitting electricity. In the future, when we have laser transmission technology, we can use lasers to transmit electricity.”

"Laser power transmission?" Wang Dazhong shook his head: "Laser has strong directionality and concentrated energy. Laser can carry a large amount of energy. Therefore, power transmission over longer distances can be achieved with smaller transmit power. However, laser power transmission also has many problems. To solve the problem, for example, in the atmosphere, the attenuation of laser is relatively serious, and the most important thing is that there should be nothing blocking the laser link. If there are birds or even airplanes flying into it, it will cause a big problem. . This technology is more like science fiction.”

Just like the current islands, ground effect aircraft fly back and forth. If they don't get into the middle of the laser beam, they will probably be vaporized directly.

 Laser power transmission technology has been proposed a long time ago, but it is difficult to implement because it faces too many problems.

Qin Tao also extracted a concept from the memories of later generations. When space technology developed, many people imagined space power stations. After all, there is no atmosphere, and the working efficiency of solar panels will be very high. If the orbit is suitable, even more It will not be affected by the alternation of day and night and has a lot of time to generate electricity, which can be said to be very suitable.

However, there is a problem with solar power generation in space: transmission, power stations on the ground can be done directly through cables, but what about space? What does a power station in space rely on to transmit electricity? There are only two types: laser and microwave. Many people are very interested in laser transmission and think that this transmission method can solve the problem satisfactorily.

Now, Qin Tao knows that the suggestion he made is still too advanced! When people nowadays look at this technology, it’s almost like looking at science fiction.

"Okay, let's call it science fiction. However, human technology is constantly improving. What we think of as science fiction now may become reality in the future." Qin Tao said, "For example, our Baidi Space plane.”

Wang Dazhong pushed up his glasses and nodded vigorously: "Yes, it is true. The Baidi space plane came out and shocked us all. We really look forward to being able to enter space at a low cost and travel in space in the future."

Scientists also need to go to space. They can do many things in the gravity-free environment of space. Now, after hearing what Qin Tao said, Wang Dazhong was also full of expectations.

By the time the two came out of the control room, Chigua Island had changed drastically.

Rows of folding chairs were placed on the open space originally used by the soldiers for training. The aisle left in the center of the chairs was filled with sunflowers on both sides, forming a flower aisle. In front of it, there was a rostrum. , also wrapped with flowers.

This should be the place where the wedding ceremony is held.

“Mr. Qin, it costs a lot to transport these things from the mainland.” Luo Dahai was organizing people to move them. When he saw Qin Tao coming, he said with emotion.

"Yes, but we don't plan to move back. After the ceremony is over, after these are dismantled, they will be placed in your warehouse. During the Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival, our Mingzhou Group will provide money to organize the Heart-to-Heart Art If the troupe comes here to perform, then the stage and stands can be built,” Qin Tao said.

Luo Dahai looked at Qin Tao gratefully: "Mr. Qin, after we have electricity and TV, we can just watch CCTV's party without spending so much money."

"This is not possible. You are defending the country and guarding the border. Of course we will make your life more colorful. There will be sufficient power supply soon. The life of our soldiers will be better. This is not the pursuit of enjoyment, but the satisfaction of the most basic life. It’s just necessary. By the way, has the seawater desalination device been installed?”

Compared with the lack of electricity, what is more important here is the lack of fresh water resources. Not every island can have a fresh water lens effect. Fresh water is pumped on the Great Wall of China. Fresh water transported from the mainland is too expensive, so you still have to make it yourself. .

Desalination of seawater requires electricity. A large part of the power of the power station that is about to be put into use will be used to desalinate seawater.

“Well, it was installed a few days ago.” Luo Dahai said: “When there is enough fresh water, we can plant more sunflowers.”

Sunflower is a very tenacious flower that can bloom on the islands and reefs of the South China Sea. However, it still needs fresh water.

Even if you don’t use good water directly, you can use water from rice washing and vegetable washing, and the sunflowers will bloom.

“You just want to plant sunflowers? Sure enough, the islands with female soldiers are different. On other islands and reefs, they are thinking about opening up vegetable fields.”

Luo Dahai suddenly smiled, yes, why did he just think about planting flowers?

The cheerful laughter of female soldiers could be heard in the distance.

Female soldiers’ dormitory.

He Qian sat in front of the stool, facing a small mirror in front of her. Behind her, a professional makeup artist from outside was doing her hair twist.

In this era, the bun is popular. Before the bride gets married, she must dress herself up beautifully. The white wedding dress has been hung on a hanger nearby, waiting to be worn after the bun.

Many people used to struggle with whether to wear a wedding dress first or to wear a bun first. If you wear a bun first, your hairstyle may be ruined when you put on the wedding dress. If you put on the wedding dress first, you can't lie down and can only sit, which is really too tiring.

A woman is happiest when she gets married, but also the most tired.

“It’s so beautiful to be a bride, I want to be a bride too.”

"You just joined the army last year, so you are not qualified to be a bride. You are not allowed to fall in love while you are a recruit."

“Hmph, I said in the future, not now, Sister Qian is too beautiful. Sister Qian, if I were a man, I would want to marry you.”

"You? You are not as good as your brother-in-law. He is from the Mingzhou Group and an early entrepreneur. He traveled all over the country with Mr. Qin and was full of courage."

“Hey, don’t make trouble like this, okay? Don’t you want to get married?”

"think."

He Qian looked in the mirror, listening to the chatter of other female soldiers, but her brows gradually wrinkled.

With a creak, the door opened, and Zhao Ling, who was busy setting up outside, came in. Looking at He Qian's expression, she was a little curious: "Qian'er, what's wrong? You're getting married soon, and you're not happy?"

“Sister, I, I, I don’t want to wear a wedding dress.” He Qian mustered up the courage to say.

This title is very subtle. Xu Zhengyang is actually older than Qin Tao. If she is called according to the male side, He Qian should be called Zhao Ling's younger sister. However, given Mr. Qin's status, it is inappropriate to call her like this. She is older than Zhao Ling and Qin Taodu is young, so she can call her sister-in-law, but in the end, she chose to call her sister. It would not work anymore to call her secretary Zhao. She is busy with many things, so calling her secretary Zhao is too unfamiliar.

Zhao Ling's face suddenly changed. What does it mean that she doesn't want to wear a wedding dress? Don't want to get married? This He Qian wants to regret her marriage? This is absolutely not possible. It was so easy to find a partner for Xu Zhengyang, but at the end of the day, his wife ran away?

It's embarrassing if this news gets out, and it's the Mingzhou Group that loses face.

"Why? Are you afraid of getting married? Don't worry, life after marriage will be the same as before marriage. If Brother Zhengyang bullies you, just tell me and I will support you."

"No, no." He Qian shook her head repeatedly: "Of course I'm not afraid of getting married. I've been waiting for this day in my dreams. Now, I just don't want to wear a wedding dress."

Seeing Zhao Ling's confused look, He Qian continued: "I think I am still suitable for wearing a military uniform."

The whole grand wedding was arranged by Zhao Ling, so He Qian hesitated and didn't want to make Zhao Ling unhappy. As a result, Zhao Ling misunderstood. Does she really not want to wear a wedding dress, or does she think she should wear a military uniform? As a soldier, it makes more sense to get married in a military uniform.

"You should have told me this earlier." Zhao Ling said, "Getting married is the most important event in your life. You can wear whatever you want."
