Great warships

Chapter 752 We are going to build a lighthouse

Encountered a situation?
Wang Dazhong was stunned for a moment. In China, he had never heard sirens, but here, they were often heard. After all, this is the southern border of the motherland!

The atmosphere was a little tense, but not flustered. The signal soldiers quickly ran to their posts, all female soldiers, and they were ready to deal with emergencies at any time!

Shuangsha Island.

"Boss Qin, there was unexpected disturbance here." Xu Zhengyang walked up to Qin Tao who was on the beach chair, and whispered to him, "For your safety, isn't it..."

"This is the territory of our motherland, why would Xiaoxiao dare to come here to trouble us?" Qin Tao said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. If it's such a trivial matter, just leave quickly, and it won't let people spread the word." joke."

In the water, Zhao Ling and Vitalia continued to swim like two mermaids.

Seeing Qin Tao's calmness, Xu Zhengyang didn't say anything. After all, there are many cases of electromagnetic interference.

"By the way, how are Professor Wang and the others doing?"

"They went to Eat Guadalcanal." Xu Zhengyang said, "Our Shuangsha Island is not suitable for building a nuclear power plant. Maybe the Guadalcanal is more suitable."

Qin Tao nodded: "If Professor Wang is sure it's suitable, then let's go and have a look tomorrow."

"Ok."

Half an hour later, the disturbance disappeared, and everything continued. That night, Qin Tao and his wife had just bid farewell to Vitalia and returned to their villa. Before the door was closed, Wang Dazhong came.

What about a vacation?Why so many things?Qin Tao was very helpless.

"President Qin." Wang Dazhong was very excited: "We have already surveyed, and Chigua Island is completely suitable for us to build a nuclear power plant. The underwater reef there is very large, and we only need to build a separate site on it, but ..."

"Just what?"

The money problem is solved, and the place is available, so the next step should be easy.

"The soldiers on the island said that if we directly start construction here to build a nuclear power plant, I'm afraid it will arouse the suspicion of many people and slander us internationally." Wang Dazhong said.

"The soldiers on the island actually have such vision?" Qin Tao was surprised.

"Yeah, I'm also very curious." Wang Dazhong said: "This is a communication soldier. We encountered interference today. She led her subordinates to operate the equipment and successfully completed the countermeasure. The other party had to leave in despair. Not only did she Not only is she good at technology, but she also has vision. She was born in a military family, and Village Chief Lin should know more about her affairs. Now I just want to ask how we can solve this problem."

Of course, Wang Dazhong didn't want to see the site for the construction of the nuclear power plant was selected with great difficulty, but in the end it couldn't be implemented because of the opposition from the surroundings.

"What's so difficult about it?" Qin Tao said, "Let's build a lighthouse there. The purpose of our construction is to provide public welfare services."

After worrying for a long time, this is solved?Wang Dazhong was very surprised.But when you think about it, it makes sense to do so.

The southern sea area has an important international sea transportation channel and is also an important fishing ground. The density of ships is high, and sea traffic accidents are prone to occur.For the safety of maritime navigation, building lighthouses is a matter of course. With lighthouses, there must be equipment to power the lighthouses. We build nuclear power plants for lighting and guiding ships. Who dares to slander?

"We claim to be building a lighthouse, and we don't talk about the nuclear power plant. Anyway, the nuclear power plant is not large. It is assembled directly at our place and then transported as a whole." Qin Tao said: "It will take a long time for the outside world to find out. It’s a fait accompli, what else can they say?”

Wang Dazhong nodded happily.

"Any thing else?"

Wang Dazhong shook his head.

"Okay, see you tomorrow then."

After sending Wang Dazhong away, Qin Tao breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Xu Zhengyang: "Zhengyang, no matter who comes tonight, they all say that I'm not here. Really, there are so many things to come out to relax."

Seeing the back of Xu Zhengyang leaving, Zhao Ling smiled.

"You're still laughing. I'll make you cry and beg for mercy later." Qin Tao looked at his wife.

the next day.

The waves keep coming to the island and leaving, and after the morning sun, the day's exercise time has begun.

"One two one, one two one." Someone was running, shouting slogans, and there were men and women in their voices.

The area of ​​Guadalcanal Island is not large. Two right-angled vertical sides, one side is 300 meters long and the other side is 400 meters long. Together with the arc on the other side, the total length is 500 meters.Every morning, the soldiers will run twice on the reef, thus completing a 3000-meter long-distance running training.

Among all the soldiers guarding the island, they would look forward to coming to Guadalcanal for garrisoning, for no other reason than there are female soldiers here.

Every day's training will be enriched and colorful because of the presence of female soldiers.

"Someone is coming." At this moment, discussions among the running people started.

"Attention, don't talk, continue training!" He Qian shouted to her subordinates.

It must not be an unknown person who came, otherwise, the base should have sounded the siren. While shouting, she looked over and found that Luo Dahai, the person in charge of guarding Guadalcanal Island, had already greeted him.

Who is coming?

By the time of the second lap, the visitors had already boarded the pier, including those who came yesterday, and several others. Among them was a young man who stood out with a beautiful woman beside him. Dahai was greeting the young man very warmly.

who?Could it be that some high-ranking junior came here to practice?He Qian looked down on this kind of person. She turned her head and wanted to continue the morning run with her soldiers, but at this moment, Luo Dahai shouted.

"The soldiers continue to train, led by the deputy squad leader, and the squad leader will come to the meeting!"

He Qian could only leave the team, form a team with several other squad leaders, and run to the meeting room.

The area of ​​Chigua Island is small, and the buildings on the island are not high. The conference room can only accommodate a maximum of twenty people. When the guests enter, it will be full.

The young man sat in the middle of the meeting room, and He Qian looked down upon him a little, hum, come on, and show off.

"Comrades, first of all, let us welcome the guests who boarded Guadalcanal Island with warm applause!" Luo Dahai said, stretching out his hands to applaud, and the others followed suit. However, the applause was so sparse that it didn't sound like enough enthusiasm.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Qin of the famous Mingzhou Group in our country. We can have the current scale of eating Guadalcanal thanks to Mr. Qin's help. Without their island-making magic weapon, we would never be able to do so. Spacious living environment.”

Mr. Qin of Mingzhou Group?He Qian's eyes lit up all of a sudden, it was Boss Qin who came, she should have thought of it a long time ago, the person with Professor Wang must be Boss Qin, why didn't she react immediately?

It must be because the other party is too young, and I didn't think about it in the direction of Mingzhou Group at all. Who would have known that President Qin of Mingzhou Group was so young?

The construction of the island started a few years ago. Mr. Qin was probably even younger at that time, right?
"Our Mingzhou Group just did what we should do." Qin Tao said: "It is even more admirable for you to dedicate your youth to the southern border of the motherland. I didn't bring anything with me this time. I brought some Loongson computers and set up a computer room for everyone to learn advanced computer operations, but it is not easy to lay the network here, so I can’t connect to the Internet for the time being.”

computer!

Mr. Qin really is generous. I heard that every time he comes here for inspection, he will send a large number of condolences. They used to be fresh fruits and vegetables, but now they have been upgraded to high-tech products.

"However, due to the relatively high air humidity here, if you want to use the computer normally, you need to have air-conditioning equipment and sufficient electricity." Qin Tao continued: "I'm here to inspect, our Mingzhou Group plans to Help build a lighthouse here to guide the ships here."

This foreword does not match the afterword!
It was mentioned earlier that it was to solve the power supply. This should be something that nuclear power plants have to do, but later it was mentioned lighthouses. What's going on?

He Qian was very curious, and Qin Tao continued to introduce: "This lighthouse is planned to be built about 50 meters away from Chigua Island. The height of the tower is about 50 meters. It is planned to be equipped with 4.5-meter lanterns. At the same time, we also plan to design this lighthouse to be more modern, for example, it is thicker, and there is a passage in the center of it.”

lighthouse?What kind of lighthouse is this? This is more like a chimney!Seeing Qin Tao talking and drawing, He Qian quickly realized that her eyes were full of respect.

Mr. Qin is always so powerful!
I brought it up yesterday. If we build a nuclear power plant, I am afraid it will cause some unnecessary troubles. Now, Mr. Qin has provided a solution to the problem: what we are building is not a nuclear power plant, but a lighthouse, but this lighthouse More like a chimney!
"Beside the lighthouse, we plan to build a two-story control room. We plan to complete the construction of this building in China, transport it directly, and put it here." Qin Tao continued: "You are familiar with this place, so, If you have any suggestions, you can make them now."

Mr. Qin is very powerful, but also very humble. He has already designed it perfectly, but he still wants to consult other people's opinions!
He Qian was thinking rapidly in her mind, how should she provide some reference opinions?
"Report!" He Qian raised her hand.

"Xiao He, please speak." Qin Tao said: "Don't be too restrained, I am not a soldier, you can just treat it as a normal chat."

He Qian was excited for a while, President Qin actually knew herself?
"Report, I think that the building next to the lighthouse has a large top area, so we can lay solar panels on the top of this building."

Of course she knows that this building is the main building of the nuclear reactor, because the power of this experimental nuclear reactor is not large, so the building is not big, and the shape does look similar to the control room, which is more likely to confuse people.

However, there is still a key problem to be solved: Where does the electricity for the lighthouse come from?Is it the diesel generator on the nearby Gua Island?

The power generated by this diesel generator is probably not enough, and it is very wasteful. Therefore, simply install solar panels and assume that it is solar power generation.

Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, this opinion is very good."

On the South China Sea side, where there is plenty of light, solar power is the best option.

"Xiao He, do you have any other ideas?" Qin Tao continued to ask.

"The other thing is, the safety work of this lighthouse." He Qian continued: "If you just poke such a building in the sea, I am afraid that someone with a heart will approach it. Should the surrounding area of ​​this building be enlarged? Also, build a We eat Guadalcanal together with the road, which is convenient for our guards and patrols."

Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, safety is very important. We must not base our own safety on the benevolence of others. We need to protect the safety of this building. Xiao He, can you give us a specific design? "

He Qian took a deep breath: "OK, please give me half a day."

Qin Tao nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, then let's spend half a day enjoying the beautiful scenery on the island."

Professional things are left to professional people. Qin Tao is very satisfied with He Qian. This girl has ideas and vision. If she retires in the future, she can be absorbed into Mingzhou Group to work. After training, she will definitely be able to Stand alone.

Zhao Ling didn't speak at the side, looking at Qin Tao's arrangement, she was also very satisfied with this girl named He Qian.

She has been serving on Gua Island all year round, and her skin has been tanned. For any girl who loves beauty, she hopes to be beautiful, but the female soldiers on the island are willing to have their skin tanned , the black is healthier, and their hearts are more beautiful.

What a noble character to dedicate one's youth to the motherland and to the frontier of the South China Sea!

Zhao Ling admired it very much. Looking at this girl, she seemed to have returned to the time when she was engaged in scientific research day and night. At that time, she was slovenly and didn't even regard herself as a woman.

Just when she was in a daze, the lover beside her patted her on the shoulder: "Go, go out and see the scenery on the island."

The small island has the scenery of a small island, and because it is small, it looks more delicate. Zhao Ling and Qin Tao strolled on the small island, feeling the time that belonged to them.

The time slowly came from morning to noon.

"Report, President Qin, I have completed the design." He Qian was very excited: "Professor Wang and I have confirmed the inner diameter of the lighthouse. Yes, but the cost of the entire building may be a bit high."

Qin Tao nodded: "Just tell us here."

In the only entertainment area on the island, there is a fixed stone chessboard, on which He Qian spread her drawings and introduced them to Qin Tao.

"According to the detailed survey of the reef around 50 meters around Gua Island, I plan to place this building on the northern part of our reef." He Qian explained: "The building will be fixed on the reef by piling. In this way, it can also avoid being calculated by people with good intentions."

It's better not to reclaim the sea and build land, just fix it directly on the reef, so that it looks more like a floating nuclear power plant on the sea, with vertical edges, straight up and down, it is not easy for some people to climb.

"In order to further avoid damage, the building below is inside the concrete, and a steel shell is built..."

Looking at He Qian who was explaining eloquently, Qin Tao became a little suspicious. Are you majoring in communication or architecture?
"In this position, the laying of submarine cables will be very simple. However, in order to prevent accidents, I think it is best to use slotting. After laying, the submarine cables are buried on the seabed, or even poured with concrete. It's safer that way."

Now that the power station is in place, the next step is to bury the wires. It needs to radiate from Chigua Island to the surroundings and lay cables there. At this time, the benefits of Chigua Island will be revealed. It is located in the center of several nearby reefs!
To the north are Subi Reef and Nanxun Reef, to the west are Yongshu Reef and Huayang Reef, to the east is Shuangsha Island; to the south is the Nanhua Channel, which is an important shipping route.

Submarine cables have existed for a long time, but now the main laying is communication cables. Countries around the world rely on the Internet to connect together, and they use submarine communication cables. It is a habit to say that they are cables. In fact, optical cables are still the main ones. of.

Although communication satellites sound tall and powerful, communication satellites are very expensive, and the bandwidth and channels they provide are limited. If you want to use communication satellites as the main communication network, then install a 1M broadband at home. The monthly fee is thousands of dollars.

Therefore, we still have to use optical fiber. Whether it is laid on land or in the sea, the cost is not very expensive, and the transmission capacity is very large.

Is offshore laying expensive?In fact, it is not high. After all, there is no need for land acquisition at sea. It is enough to drive out the ships specially designed to lay optical cables and throw the optical cables to the bottom of the sea.

That's right, it was thrown in directly. Is it necessary to dig a trench at a depth of thousands of meters or even tens of thousands of meters?Not even the anchor could be thrown that far.

However, laying on the side of Chiguadao will not work.

The water here is shallow, and some are more than ten meters deep. If it is laid directly, it will be seen by those who are interested. What if it is damaged?

If he knew it was a power transmission cable, he probably wouldn't dare. After all, if he cut it off and the electricity leaked out, the guy who stole the cable would not end well. When some ships broke down, they accidentally hit them.

Therefore, it is best to slot the power transmission cable here. After laying the cable, it must be buried, so as to better protect the safety of the cable.

However, if this is done, the amount of work will be much larger.

"Our Mingzhou Group has a professional dredger. It doesn't need to be as big as the Sky Whale. A small dredger is enough. As long as the dredger is driven over, a suitable trench can be dug." He He Qian continued.

Qin Tao's eyes brightened: "Well, yes, this idea is very good!"

The dredger relies on the cutter suction device in the front to dredge the mud. If it is driven directly, it can really open up a trench with sufficient depth. Unfortunately, the dredger cannot lay cables. Pounce, and then spray the excavated stones to the farther back, and directly bury the laid cables, this is a dragon!
There is no such design at present, and it is not worthwhile to improve it for this project.

"We have an advanced satellite positioning system, which can completely record the trajectory of the trenches driven by the dredger. During the day, the dredger starts, and we can find any reason to clean up the waterway. At night, let us lay the cable ship We wire them quietly, wait until daytime, and then bury them with dredgers, so that no one will know that we are laying cables, and it will be difficult for them to find the location of our submarine cables in the future."

"Yes, your methods are very good." Qin Tao nodded: "How about it, do you want to be the commander-in-chief of this project?"

The laying of cables under the sea must be kept secret. Looking at the companies that master submarine optical cables in later generations, they will not easily tell others where their optical cables are. Even only a few high-level executives in the company know.

This, of course, is to avoid being damaged by competitors. Once the optical cable is cut, the loss will be heavy.

Our own side is only laying cables between several islands and reefs. If it is not kept secret, it will be easier to be discovered and then destroyed by people with intentions.

He Qian's thoughtfulness is very meticulous, and she is suitable for this kind of project. Now, she is just a monitor of the communication team here. Qin Tao unexpectedly promoted her to be the commander-in-chief. Moreover, this is completely irrelevant. She is still a member of the navy. .

"President Qin, I'm an active soldier in the Navy, so I can't have anything to do with local companies." He Qian said.

"That's right, you are an active soldier, or a brave soldier stationed in the southern waters of the motherland, but our project also serves these islands and reefs in the southern waters. If you work for us, you are working for the navy." Qin Tao Said: "As long as you are willing, I will coordinate the relationship with you. If you don't want to leave the army, then you can be seconded."

"President Qin, I am willing to complete this great and glorious task!"

"Okay, then I'll leave everything to you." Qin Tao said.

"Boss Qin, I'm afraid this project will cost a lot of money." He Qian said, "You trust me so much when you first met me. I'm very touched."

Qin Tao paused for a moment: "Xiao He, since you have become the commander-in-chief, I might as well tell you about this matter. All the expenses are supplied by the electricity boss, and our Mingzhou Group is only responsible for the construction. .”

Electric boss?He Qian was a little surprised.

At this moment, Zhao Ling, who had been silent all this time, spoke up: "However, this is an important project of our Mingzhou Group after all, so we still need to leave a person with weight to help Xiao He, Mr. Qin, I think Zhengyang is quite suitable, do you want to keep him?"
