Lu Ming

Chapter 69
Xia Xianze was dizzy and couldn't eat anymore.After humming for a while, let someone take the coffee from his personal luggage and brew it. Well, who's leader doesn't have any quirks?By the time everyone was eating, Mr. Xia had already poured two cups of turbid, brown-colored liquid rich in chlorine dioxide, cave minerals, and trans fatty acids.After that, someone finally stopped and fell asleep on the floor mat that wouldn't shake.

The boss is down, but the others are still busy.Although the sea breeze was getting stronger and stronger, Tao Zheng still led people to the top of the mountain in the wind, set up a folded antenna, and then turned on the radio to start sending messages.

Tao Zheng's business is a car repairman in the fourth son's shop, and his second skill is an amateur electronics enthusiast.After the crossing, there was no car to repair for the time being, so he settled in the navy and was responsible for communication.

Thanks to the pure electromagnetic environment in this world, Tao Zheng can easily make voice calls within 60 kilometers around Hangzhou City through the 50W car radio.But not now: the straight-line distance between Xuanshan Island and Tangzhuang base is far more than 100 kilometers. The key is that there is a mountain system near Ningbo in the middle, so now he can only use Morse code to give Tangzhuang base. inform.

Fortunately, technology is advanced these days, and there is no need to train transmitters.Tao Zheng used a laptop to connect a digital radio station and a Morse code converter the size of a cigarette case, and then entered Chinese characters on the translation software. As soon as he hit Enter, the computer automatically converted the text information into Morse code and sent it out.

While instructing the sailor to turn the antenna back and forth, while typing on the keyboard, Tao Zheng repeatedly sent out two sets of signals.It didn't take long for the reply from the Tangzhuang base to appear on the LCD screen of the notebook in the ticking sound.

After seeing the reply letter "Home is safe, good luck", Tao Zheng immediately began to greet everyone to pack up their belongings and retreat.The sea breeze at the moment is already quite strong, and the continuous black clouds in the sky seem to be overhead.Although the rainstorm has not yet started, the signs are already quite obvious.

Except for the sailors in the fleet who hurry up to tie up the deck supplies, the navy basically stays on the ship - there is also a vote of "C-class laborers" locked in the bottom cabin, and they have to supervise this group of people to step on the electric bicycles in turn. Right now, the ship is in a state of suspension, and it is a good time to charge the battery, which cannot be missed.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the storm finally came.Fortunately, the intensity of the incoming air mass was not high, barely reaching the level of a tropical storm; and the center was heading towards Fuzhou, and the Zhoushan area was just wiped out.

The people of the expedition stayed in the dry cave, ate hot food, and took turns to watch the wind and rain at the entrance of the cave. The effect of rest was quite good.

It was nightfall when the storm stopped.After discussion, the fleet finally decided to wait until dawn the next day before setting off - it was already delayed anyway, and it was not too short of time, so let the people suffering from seasickness rest for a few more hours.

In the early morning of the next day, when fish maw white appeared in the east, the expedition fleet replenished fresh water, pulled anchor and set sail, and set foot on the journey again.

After the fleet set sail again, it was probably that the test of God finally ended. Then the rain passed and the sky was fine, the sea waves were not happy, and the voyage began to go smoothly.It was another four days of driving according to the established route. In the evening, the people on the boat could already see the beautiful scenery of the bright blue, light green and white-edged coast of Taiwan Island.

The routes of the expedition fleet were contrary to the traditions of coastal navigation in this era.Relying on the precise real-time positioning of the electronic sextant, the fleet is generally the shortest diagonal line drawn straight from Zhoushan to Taiwan Island.

After the boat crosses Zhoushan, there is a vast sea. There is no landmark reference, and you will not see the common fishing boats, merchant ships and pirates along the coast of the mainland. It can be called a lonely journey.Now that we can finally see Taiwan Island from afar, the morale of the fleet has risen a lot for a while.

Carefully keeping a certain distance from the coast, the two sand boats slowly descended along the coastline—there was neither the Fuguijiao Lighthouse at the northernmost tip of Taiwan in this era, and the twisty and reefy coastline was completely different from that of later generations.

The passers-by did not dare to be careless and carefully measured the hydrology along the way. When the sun rose the next day, they had already left Taipei behind and came to the coast of Hsinchu.

If the current approximate speed of 4-6 knots can be maintained, the fleet will be able to reach Tainan tomorrow afternoon.Given this, some pre-war preparations can begin.

The passengers under the cabin were successively changed to the deck to ventilate, and the frequency was much higher than that of the previous days.Visually, the mental outlook of these people is not bad, thanks to sufficient food and crucial fresh water, as well as taking turns to "ride an iron mule" every day. In fact, they step on the bicycle generator fixed on the deck, and the physical fitness of the workers is generally Stay on the horizon.

Electricity not only needs to be supplied to the electronic instruments in the cabin, but another portable seawater purification device made in Australia by Timespace also needs electric energy to produce fresh water.A suitcase-sized purification device can produce 3 tons of fresh water per day through electric pumps and reverse osmosis membranes.

In addition to drinking, the people in the cabin can even simply wash with fresh water in the luxury, and then scrub the vomit and the dirty cabin.The above are combined with disinfectant sprays, so that the sanitation of the crossing fleet is always maintained in a reluctantly acceptable state.

The crew members were also summoned one after another, and these goods, which were essentially pirates, were simply told before the voyage: "This time we have to do a big deal."

At this point, there is no need to hide anymore.When they learned that they were going to "attack a red-haired pirate's stockade" tomorrow, the crew expressed their emotional stability.The seamen who are used to having the backing of AK behind them are not opposed to grabbing a handful of red-haired men, but they have a little expectation.

Wei Yuan and Han Xiaobo leaned against the slightly undulating boat gang, and watched cheerfully as a few "Army" colleagues hustled around an M2.

Even in later generations, there are still not many people with a body like Wei Yuan-he is 1 meters tall, weighs 93+, and has broad shoulders, waist and legs, as if he will break the door frame at any time.

Wei Yuan, who used to be involved in many security companies in Africa, with a bloody look on his face, has been locked up in the backyard of Tangzhuang since the beginning of his journey.No way, this fellow is too conspicuous.Even though there are some tall and slender children of wealthy families in the city of Hangzhou, the length, breadth and thickness are still too far from these goods. It would be a disaster to release them, because they would be watched by onlookers.

Wei Yuan had no choice but to stay in Tangzhuang, and then formed a team of instructors spontaneously with Han Xiaobo, who had been in the army, and taught people to shoot targets every day.After finally waiting for the company to occupy Moyunguan, everyone on the front and back was dispatched, and Wei Yuan was transferred on the spot to become an abbot.Himmler's feeling has not yet been found, the expedition fleet is about to go south, and a group of people boarded the ship with labor all night.
