Mixed in the last days as a salted fish

Chapter 345 Navy One

At the end of the dinner, Jiao Huaxian got nothing in the end.

Before parting, Zhang Hao comforted in a low voice: "Old Jiao, don't worry too much. I'll help you find a solution after the economy improves in two years."

"Old Zhang, shall I wait for your good news?"

Jiao Huaxian regained a little confidence.

"Don't worry! One-third of our family's property is in Minde, and I hope it will develop better and better than anyone else." Zhang Hao immediately promised.

Jiao Huaxian nodded, and then said, "Do you need me in the Minde era..."

"It's best not to do anything, as you know, my identity is sensitive now, just let nature take its course." Zhang Hao interrupted directly, "Besides, Minde Times is currently in a stage of full contraction, and in a short period of time There is no expansion plan, and if you want to explode, it depends on the progress of the graphene battery project.”

"Graphene battery, I don't know if I can see the day it succeeds before I retire."

Jiao Huaxian sighed endlessly.

Zhang Hao smiled slightly: "It's all about human effort, as long as you persevere, I believe there will be a day of success."

This is the biggest advantage of "Reborn". As long as the technical route is determined, success will come sooner or later.

For scientific research, the most fearful thing is to go in the wrong direction, and once you go in the wrong direction, no matter how much money and manpower you invest, it will be useless.

"If the Minde era can counterattack BYD and start the automobile industry, then we Minde will have a way out. To be honest, all our chips are now on this trump card."

Jiao Huaxian expressed his feelings.

"There will be such a day." Zhang Hao reached out to shake hands with the other party, and then glanced at his watch: "Old Jiao, it's getting late, we still have to catch the train, let's stop here today, and we can talk next time we have a chance. "

"Then I won't send you off, I wish you a smooth journey!"

Jiao Huaxian nodded with a smile.

Zhang Hao let go, turned around and sat in the car, and finally hinted: "Old Jiao, you must take care of your health, and if you have a chance, come to Zhucheng to help me."

"Okay, let's make a deal then."

Jiao Huaxian immediately lifted his spirits.

Since the previous Consul Ji took office, in order to maintain stability, the chief executives of remote places like them have not moved for nearly ten years.

If no changes are made, he will retire as mayor in ten years.

"It's a deal." Zhang Hao waved his hand.

……

At 02:30 in the morning, Zhang Hao and his party finally returned to Shanghai.

"Brother-in-law, what time will you board the ship tomorrow morning?"

Yang Haoxuan asked while dragging his tired body.

Traveling back and forth all the way, it took thirteen to four hours just by train, which was really exhausting.

"At eight o'clock, go back to the room and hurry up to sleep, and you can sleep for another four hours." Zhang Hao reminded.

Yang Haoxuan yawned, and immediately complained: "With this little time, why sleep? If you ask me, I might as well board the boat now, so as not to have to get up early."

As far as he knew, the "Navy One" that was going to take the Consul had already docked at Shencheng Port.

As early as last year, in order to facilitate global inspections and safety considerations, the officials directly replaced the new "Navy One", which is the ultimate sea fortress converted from a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

"Don't think about it, there will be a farewell ceremony tomorrow morning, everything is planned, don't mess around."

Zhang Hao waved his hand.

"Then I'll go alone now, okay?"

Yang Haoxuan asked along the way.

"No, the port has been under military control for a long time. Don't cause trouble for others, just board the ship with me tomorrow morning." Zhang Hao refused mercilessly.

Yang Haoxuan took out his mobile phone, broke the jar and said: "Forget it, then I won't sleep, I'll just play games all night, and catch up on sleep after boarding the ship tomorrow."

"what ever."

Zhang Hao shook his head, turned around and went to sleep.

The young man is in good health and full of energy. Staying up late for a few nights will not affect him much. If he is dying, it will take two or three days to recover from staying up late at ordinary times.

After a sleepless night, it was 06:30 in the morning.

The staff woke up Yang Haoxuan who was soundly asleep. After all, he was so sleepy and tired that he couldn't hold on anymore. He fell asleep before finishing a game.

After breakfast, arrived at the port at 07:30.

A grand farewell ceremony was held here in Shencheng, together with spontaneous representatives of the masses, the total number of people came to about 5000.

Before boarding the ship, Zhang Hao delivered a short speech as usual, and he concluded at the end:
"Today, the times once again call us to strengthen our unity and continue to write a new chapter in the history of peace, friendship and cooperation. Let us work together to advance towards a better future for mankind."

"Clap clap clap..."

Amid warm applause, Zhang Hao and his party passed the gangway and boarded the shuttle boat.

As for "Navy One", due to its large tonnage, it can only berth in offshore waters.

With the sound of the siren, the barge slowly left the port and started heading towards "Marine One".

Zhang Hao stood on the deck, took off his hat, and waved to the farewell crowd on the port. This time, he will not be able to return until next year at the earliest.

Half an hour later, everyone officially boarded the "Navy One", which was like a mountain. Compared with the barge, it was not even a toy boat.

"Consul, welcome aboard Marine One."

Captain Li welcomed the crew with them.

Zhang Hao shook hands with everyone one by one, and said cordially, "Thank you for your hard work this trip."

"How can there be hard work in my job?"

Captain Li said enthusiastically.

Zhang Hao nodded with a smile, and then looked around: "Captain Li, it's our first time boarding a ship, can you give us a general tour first?"

"No problem, please come here!"

Captain Li immediately led the way.

Zhang Hao asked while walking: "Captain Li, I heard that our ship was rebuilt from the 'Soyuz' aircraft carrier?"

"Consul, you are right." Captain Li paused, and then introduced: "This ship was built in 78, with a total length of 337 meters, a width of 78 meters, and a height of 76 meters. With a displacement of 10 tons, it is the latest aircraft carrier in service of the Federal Navy, and the total cost is about hundreds of billions."

Looking at the flight deck in front of him, Zhang Hao couldn't help asking curiously, "Are there any carrier-based aircraft on board?"

"Most of them were removed, but some were still kept. In terms of weapons, in addition to the original anti-aircraft weapons, there are also ten fighter jets, five multi-purpose helicopters, two anti-submarine helicopters, one early warning aircraft, and two transport plane."

"An anti-submarine helicopter?" Zhang Hao frowned, "Is it still necessary now?"

"It is very necessary, and Marine One cannot be lost."

Captain Li said without hesitation.

"Then is there a submarine under our feet?"

Zhang Hao followed closely and asked.

Captain Li nodded and introduced in detail: "Yes, there are a total of twelve escort warships and two nuclear submarines around the 'Navy One'. In addition, there are two comprehensive supply ships."

"Such a large scale?"

Zhang Hao was a little surprised.

To be honest, this is a bit of a waste of money.

"Consul, our homeland is better and relatively safe. Overseas is different. To tell you the truth, there are five or six famous pirate gangs alone, so we have to guard against them.

What's more, due to various reasons, many large regions have long been out of the control of the Federation. This trip, the military also has the intention of deterring them. "

Captain Li patiently explained.

"Pirates?" Yang Haoxuan couldn't help being a little puzzled, and couldn't help interjecting: "Captain Li, why don't your navy eliminate these pirates?"

Captain Li shook his head helplessly: "It's not that we don't want to solve it, but that we can't do what we want. To be honest, the ocean is too big, and with the extreme night environment, we can't manage it at all.

Moreover, the military has already reached a tacit agreement with these pirates. Otherwise, if they are allowed to rob passing ships wantonly, our military will only be exhausted, and the cost will not be worth the loss, and the effort will be thankless. "

"Hey, that's not right. If these pirates don't rob the passing cargo ships, then what do they live on?"

Yang Haoxuan quickly discovered the loophole.

Captain Li sighed slightly: "On the one hand, they rely on going ashore to plunder, and on the other hand, they have their own base on land, which belongs to the state of armed separatism."

"So exaggerated? Does the Federation care about this?"

Yang Haoxuan said in surprise.

"As I said just now, it can't be controlled at all, especially in South America, which is almost becoming a stronghold of pirates. The Federation currently controls several major cities, and the rest can only be left alone."

Captain Li explained with a wry smile.

Zhang Hao read the relevant information, and then added: "South America is seriously short of energy, and the local gangs are prevalent. The Federation has no time to take care of it for the time being. If it wants to force it, it will be the masses who will be injured."

After all, South America is far away from the center, and the cost of ruling is too high to be worthwhile. From a rational analysis, as long as the other party can guarantee the supply of raw materials, maintaining the status quo may be the best choice.

Yang Haoxuan rubbed his chin: "I didn't expect overseas to look like this. I thought it was similar to the local one. At most, the wages were lower."

"Cough..." This topic is rather sensitive, so Zhang Hao quickly changed the topic: "Captain Li, how many crew members are there on board?"

"Reporting to the Consul, the ship carries a total of about 1200 sailors and aviation personnel, and a 2000-member Marine Corps is also stationed."

"There are quite a few people!" Zhang Hao nodded.

Yang Haoxuan took the opportunity to ask: "Captain Li, how long can our Navy One sail with one refueling?"

"About ten years!"

Captain Li replied.

"Why is there so much less? I checked the information. Generally, nuclear-powered aircraft carriers replace their fuel rods every 30 years. Why is it shortened here?"

Zhang Haoxuan was full of doubts.

Zhang Hao also looked curious.

Captain Li explained with a smile: "There is no way. The remodeled Navy One not only installed a full set of seawater desalination devices, but also built four planting factories, which consume a lot of energy."

"Planting plant?"

"That's right, this ship is also an emergency shelter. If an emergency occurs, it can provide the most basic survival needs for tens of thousands of people. In theory, we can survive at sea for more than 20 years."

Captain Li's face was full of pride.

"So powerful?" Yang Haoxuan asked in surprise.

"Of course, tens of billions of dollars were spent on the previous transformation, and the money was not spent in vain."

Everyone chatted and chatted, first came to the command room.

Zhang Hao shook hands with the crew members one by one, and then asked about their daily work and life.

Next, visit the kitchen.

In general, the living conditions on the boat are more comfortable than those on the shore, and at least the food conditions are much better, because they can eat meat once a week.

Zhang Hao pointed to the half fan of pork on the chopping board and asked, "Captain Li, can we still raise pigs on board?"

"No, we have too many people on board. If we raise pigs, we can't maintain hygiene."

After all, there are tens of thousands of people in the entire fleet, even if they only eat meat once a week, it will be terrible, at least a large-scale pig farm must be built.

"Where did the pork come from? Is it frozen pork that was slaughtered in advance?"

"No, we raise these pork ourselves." Captain Li paused, then explained: "We do have pig farms, but the pig farms are on those two supply ships, and there are fewer crew members. Has little effect."

According to the federal rationing system, there is no exception for the navy. The only thing they can do is to be self-sufficient, and the higher authorities will turn a blind eye.

After all, the conditions at sea are difficult, and the food standard of the navy has always been historically traditional, which is much higher than that of the army.

"So that's how many pigs can be raised in that year?" Zhang Hao continued to ask.

"We need to raise about [-] heads every year, and we can't keep up with more feed."

"Where did you get the feed?"

Captain Li smiled: "It was also planted by the ship itself, and there are also some leftovers."

Zhang Hao was slightly taken aback. It seemed that the navy's meals were indeed the same as the rumors. It was absolutely no problem to eat enough, otherwise they would not have leftovers.

"Aside from raising pigs, does your farm raise anything else?"

"In addition to pigs, there are hundreds of hens laying eggs." Captain Li replied.

“Self-sufficient, not bad not bad.”

Zhang Hao smiled and praised.

After coming out of the kitchen, everyone went to the planting factory. The "planting plant" took up the entire four decks. No wonder there was excess capacity to raise pigs and chickens.

"Captain Li, you actually planted watermelons?"

"Consul, these watermelons are mainly for the sick. The sea is no better than the shore, and the conditions are limited. We can only take care of food as much as possible."

Zhang Hao nodded, then joked with a smile: "Captain Li, when will these watermelons be ripe? Do I have a chance to taste them?"

"This batch of watermelons will be ready to eat in another month. You are the most honorable person in the entire federation, consul. You shoulder the responsibility of billions of people. Your body is always the most important." Captain Li said implicitly.

"Okay, then I'll do as I please."

Zhang Hao did not refuse.

In fact, he himself is not greedy, but wants to tell others through this action that he is not a person who seeks fame, nor is he a harsh person. He will not smash the preferential treatment of the navy, and everyone is essentially his own.
