Chapter 2593: reduce speed

The Canghai floating dock is sailing on the sea. This floating dock is a monolithic ultra-large steel floating dock, which can undertake dock repairs for oil tankers, bulk carriers, large full container ships and other large offshore engineering buildings. At the same time, It can also be used for docking, reconstruction and manufacturing of large ships and marine engineering. As the largest steel monster made in Han, this floating dock is 340 meters long, 76 meters wide, 27 meters deep, and has a lifting force of 100,000 tons.
It can be seen that using it to consign aircraft carriers is also very stable. In fact, this floating dock really has this purpose.
Liu Yang, the captain of the floating dock, is a sailor who has been drifting outside for a long time. On his bronze face, there are two shining eyes, looking at the distant sea.
As a self-propelled floating dock, its power is not strong. After all, most floating docks are good as long as they have a sporting ability. The use of low-speed diesel engines is the most commonly seen method, but this floating dock is different , It uses a gas turbine as power! Although it is a marine gas turbine converted by Spey, it is enough to propel this floating dock to sail on the sea at a speed of 10 knots!
At the same time, in addition to the advanced power system, its other equipment is also the most advanced, such as super large displacement pumps and valves. These devices can be remotely operated. In the captain, there are advanced The central control room can be operated by remote control, with reasonable structure and high degree of automation. Therefore, there are only ten staff on the entire dock.
On the side of the floating dock, there are four large cranes. One of the cranes is built to be extraordinarily large, like a small castle. The crew usually live here, and the bridge is also set up here.
Of course, these alone are not enough. In order to sail faster, the Friendship tug is just in front of it. It is also advancing with it. Now there is nothing else but to rush back quickly.
Of course, the Han people also have enough reasons. The expensive floating docks are expensive to use. If you stay for a day, you will lose one more day. It is not bad if you don’t ask the Eagles for money. How can anyone question it? their behavior?
Unreasonable!
Captain Liu Yang looked at the sea in the distance, then at the chart in front of him, and said, "We are about to cross the Rotunda Strait!"
The route here should be the most dangerous. Fortunately, they are about to cross out. As long as they pass through this sea area, they will be safe. The navy ships are also rushing in and will meet them in front.
"Captain, you are so amazing. You can accurately know the position of your ship without using a satellite navigation system." Next to him, first officer Li Qiang said.
Now, the Beidou navigation system of the Han Kingdom has been widely used on various ships. After all, it is the most difficult position to drift on the sea. Now that it has advanced equipment, it must of course be used.
Liu Yang smiled: "The history of navigation in the world has been around for thousands of years. In the days when there was no satellite positioning, wouldn't it be impossible to ship? As old sailors, we must have our own means. High-tech things may fail. of."
In the age without satellite positioning, it relied on the skills of sailors. By using devices such as sextants to determine their position, adding a map of Shanghai, they can advance correctly on the sea. Young people nowadays just want to be lazy!
When the two were talking, there was a rumbling roar in the distant sky, and a helicopter flew over. Obviously, it is coming towards oneself!
Liu Yang frowned immediately, what's the matter? What is the origin of this helicopter?
Liu Yang picked up the binoculars and soon saw the logo of the Lion City from the helicopter. It turned out to be from the Lion City. What are they doing? Aerial photography?
Our own floating dock is towing such a large aircraft carrier. The aircraft carrier is still tilted on the floating dock. If it is not for adjusting the water tank of the floating dock several times to tilt the floating dock, then the aircraft carrier will be supported. Otherwise, the aircraft carrier would lie down.
This scene will be interesting to anyone who reads it. If it is some reporters, it may be that they want aerial photography to attract people's attention.
"Listen to the ship ahead." Just then, the helicopter began to shout.
It's from the Coast Guard of Lion City!
The waterway here is the world's famous golden waterway, and it is also the sea throat and lifeline of many countries. However, unlike other canals, the waterway here is an international waterway. The countries along the coast have no right to charge.
Since they can't charge fees, they have to think of another way. This is service. The countries along the coast are developing service industries. Among them, the Lion City is the fastest growing, although it is small.
Of course, there are many unique conditions. As a port, the Lion City has the longest development time and the most complete supporting facilities. The system of the Lion City is very modern and similar to Western countries. In short, among the three coastal countries, the Lion City In the port, the number of ships docked is the most.
They only serve these ships at ordinary times. It is enough to be a transshipment company. They have hardly seen the Lion City interfere with passing ships. They do not have this right. Now, what is this helicopter planning to do?
"Recently, the channel is busy, and there are many ships nearby. For the safety of the channel, please reduce the speed!" The helicopter has flown up, circling over their heads, and shouting while turning in circles.
They do not have the power to order, they can only request coordination, but the other party's request is justified.
As the golden waterway, there are many ships here, so you may encounter some unexpected situations, such as collisions. This combination of your own is also very large and easy to fly, but you must change the course to avoid collisions. It's not easy!
In recent years, there have been such accidental collision tragedies almost every year.
This is also for their sake. They are unwilling to have more incidents. If a collision occurs and the aircraft carrier sinks, then their mission will fail.
"The tugboat in front, please retract the rope, we rely on our own power to reduce to five knots!" Liu Yang shouted.
In the distance, many cargo ships can already be seen. The closer they are to the Lion City, the more cargo ships there will be. They really neglected this. The cable of the tug was loosened, and without the help of the tug, the speed of the floating dock was immediately reduced, and the high-speed gas turbines also began to reduce their power. They had to concentrate on preventing accidental collisions.
Seeing the Canghai floating dock slowed down, the Lion City helicopter circled the last circle and then flew away.
Everything seemed normal. Liu Yang stood on the bridge and continued to look at the seaway in the distance until a voice came from behind: "It seems that there are some small boats approaching us!"
