American Celestial Master

Chapter 99, Safe Navigation Alliance

The test papers were collected and the grades were approved in class. Sure enough, Grant was at the bottom again.But Grant was quite satisfied with his results, because even if it was an array analysis problem, he had solved one problem. Although he didn't complete the second problem, it was entirely because Lin Qiusheng didn't allow him to use a calculator, which caused him to The calculation speed is too slow to make it out in time. In fact, his problem-solving thinking is not a big problem. The first step and the second step are not deviated. Although the third step is a little bit off, the problems it brings are only extremely The earth has increased the amount of calculations, and it is not impossible to get the correct answer. If you can use a calculator, maybe you can...be able to write a few more steps before the time comes, and you can add more steps.

After finishing the exam, Lin Qiusheng returned to his room and connected to the satellite again, which shocked Li Zheng.Li Zheng immediately responded to the message: "Brother Lin, are you free now?"

"Just now I read the information you gave, and the situation is very serious. If the speed of world change continues like this, the cost and risk of shipping will increase significantly. This is really a fatal blow to world trade." Lin Qiusheng said.

"It is true for ordinary countries, but it may not be true for us." Li Zheng replied, "The Holy Order has a shielding formation. Although it will certainly not be able to deceive those high-level demon gods in the future, at least it is currently used to deal with ordinary natives. The sea monsters are still useful. It's just that the data of various sea monsters in our hands is not enough. Tomorrow afternoon, according to your time, it will be the morning of the day after tomorrow. We will hold a press conference to disclose all the sea monsters we have. Information, and announced to launch an organization called the 'Safe Navigation Alliance', countries joining the organization will share the sea monster information they have and some corresponding technical measures, and jointly coordinate escort..."

For this approach, Lin Qiusheng can understand it after thinking about it for a while.As the world's largest industrial country, HX is no less dependent on shipping than the United States.Nowadays, the demons and ghosts in HX are basically suppressed by the Holy Order and its brother units, but it is different at sea. If there is a problem at sea, HX may be as anxious as the United States.

"We also hope that the United States can take the initiative to join this alliance. After all, if the U.S. Navy can join in, it will still play a very important role in maintaining the routes in the Pacific Ocean." Li Zheng continued, "Your current asylum The United States is very profitable, and money in the United States is political influence. We hope you can use this political influence. Of course, we will not let you work for nothing. We can pay you with money or technology.

In addition, you also know that because the old merchant ships are too slow, they must rely on fleet escort to have a certain degree of safety.So for some time to come, the construction of high-speed merchant ships will be a big deal.If the United States joins this alliance, we can allow related companies to list in the United States, so that some people who are enthusiastic about the shipping industry can also contribute to the development of the world's shipping industry. "

Lin Qiusheng understands this meaning. At present, HX's shipbuilding capacity is second to none in the world. If the merchant ships all over the world have to be replaced, and the time is still so tight, then the bulk of the business is not ours?
"According to your estimates, the speed of the sea monster has reached 35 knots. If the merchant ship is so fast, the cost will be skyrocketing? Does anyone buy this kind of merchant ship?" Lin Qiusheng asked again.

"It doesn't need to be so fast, as long as the distance to the sea monster is farther away, it is enough to run more than 20 knots. After all, the sea monster's 35 knots is just a sprint speed, and it is difficult for them to maintain this speed continuously. Then on a merchant ship Add some concealment formations, compress the sea monster's detection distance, and you can guarantee safety..."

Li Zheng said a few more things, but what he was most concerned about was getting the United States to join the "Safe Navigation Alliance".

"Is there a way to exclude Europe from this system?" Lin Qiusheng asked.

This question was malicious, but Li Zheng, who was on the opposite side, understood what he meant in seconds.If the system excluded Europe, the restoration of the King of Hosts' influence in North America would be delayed.

"Of course we will exclude Europe." Li Zheng replied, "Isn't it enough to have a railway system between us and Europe? What good is shipping between Europe and the United States for us? Of course, the United States may want to Europe pulls in, but that's useless. Neither Europe nor the United States has enough shipbuilding capacity. They can only rely on naval escorts to ensure the safety of routes. The European navy today relies on their ships that leak when they walk. warship? Hehe..."

"Will the U.S. Navy escort them?" Lin Qiusheng said.

"There are so many fleets and heavy escort tasks. The US fleet is queuing up for ship repairs. What can we do to support them?"

After finishing the call with Li Zheng, Lin Qiusheng thought of Mr. Brown's nephew Ralph again, so he immediately hung up on Ralph again.

The phone rang for a long time before someone answered it. Ralph's sleepy voice came from the receiver. It was obvious that he was woken up by the phone:
"Lin, it's so late, you call me, what's the matter?"

"Ralph, I remember you said that you were short shipping? Now I have two pieces of news, both of which may have a certain impact on the market. I think you may be interested."

"What news?" Ralph's voice in the microphone immediately revived, "Oh, wait a minute. Oh, it's business matters, sweetheart, just keep sleeping, I'll go out and make a phone call."

Then came the sound of getting out of bed, the woman's dissatisfied murmur, the sound of slippers walking on the floor and the sound of the door opening.

After a while, Ralph's voice came again from the phone: "Lin, what news have you got?"

"Do you still remember the sudden turn of the plane we encountered in the morning?" Lin Qiusheng said, "A fishing boat sank because of a sea monster attack. It was a sea monster similar to Kraken, the Norwegian Kraken. Of course, Certainly not that big. It has since been attacked by U.S. Navy planes and helicopters, with unknown results. I cannot tell you the source of the information, but it is absolutely reliable."

"Well, I knew it would," said Ralph.This news made him very happy, because it was impossible to hide this kind of thing for a long time, as long as it was told, it would definitely cause the nautical market to plummet.

"And the other news?" said Ralph.

"HX has developed technology similar to our shelters against sea monsters. They can provide protection to merchant ships. Based on this, they may propose to establish a new navigation organization. They may announce it soon This news." Lin Qiusheng said.

"Damn it, we didn't keep our secrets right, so our technical secrets were stolen by them?" Ralph said.

"On the contrary, Ralph. In fact, many of our technologies are obtained from them. In these aspects, their research is far ahead of ours." Lin Qiusheng said, "I want to know, If they announce such a plan, how will the U.S. government react. Will they join this organization. Well, let me tell you about this organization..."

Lin Qiusheng told Ralph about the safety navigation alliance.

"Theoretically, the U.S. should join. In fact, due to various domestic troubles recently, the government has been under a lot of pressure. In fact, it has long wanted to ease up with that side. It's just that the Republican side hopes that it would be best to wait until after the general election. , and then they will do it. But if people in the industry talk to them more, I think there may still be some cooperation. I need to discuss this matter with my uncle. Didn’t you tell him?”

"Not yet. He is getting old. Waking him up by phone in the middle of the night is not good for his heart and brain. But I will call him after dawn." Lin Qiusheng replied.

"He's probably up to bed now," said Ralph. "You don't know him. He's been having an irregular schedule. He sleeps in the middle of the night and in the morning. Well, I'll call him right away."

　There is one more tonight.
