My Black Tech Shelter
Chapter 72: Setting Sail
After more than ten minutes of self-examination, Zero confirmed that all systems were normal. Then, through detection, he found that the ice around the hull had been broken. After the ship could sail normally, he started the power equipment.
As the motor starts, the tripping device resets, the main shaft transmission device is turned on, and the bottom propeller begins to rotate, slowly pushing the ship out of the dock.
After the Morning Star completely sailed out of the dock, Zero adjusted its direction and began to accelerate. As the ship moved, the ice-breaking device in front of the bow broke the ice in front, allowing the Morning Star to pass smoothly.
As we move away from the land, the ice in the sea becomes smaller and smaller until it turns into sea water.
Due to the tide, there is no ice formation in places far away from the coastline as the sea water surges, or there is only a thin layer of ice, making it difficult for even people to stand.
After seeing that he had come out, Lu Chen ordered Zero to adjust his direction, find the previous global ocean route map, and head towards a good shelter at full speed.
While Lu Chen was sailing, the Navy of the Dragon Kingdom also got the news and contacted Gao Yun, who was undergoing a voyage trial.
Gao Yun initially sailed westward through Southeast Asia. After nearly two months of sailing, plus the delays along the way, he had already approached the African continent.
Seeing that Gao Yun had gone so far, he asked Gao Yun to continue the sea trial and execute it according to the original plan.
The original plan was to go through a half-year sea trial and sail around the world. Due to the low temperature, the Strait of Malacca and the Panama Canal were no longer usable, and they could only go the farthest distance. Fortunately, they were all nuclear-powered warships, so there was no need to consider fuel issues. ,
Near Central Asia, 10 main battle tanks were also deployed and went to two mining sites respectively to cooperate with the local Dragon Kingdom garrison.
Originally, the superiors were planning to see if Gao Yun was far away. If not, they would wait for Lu Chen to act together. But since they had already gone so far, they could only wait for the next batch of sea trial warships to go out. It was just right. Lu Chen still needs to make further improvements to the shelter in Southeast Asia so that he can catch up.
——
In the Annan Ha Tinh area, at a port near the sea, more than 100 six-legged robots arrived here.
In Lu Chen's plan, Shelter No. 1 needs to occupy two places, one is a nearby shipyard and the other is the port.
The shipyard is for early ship modification and later ship construction.
The port is prepared for transporting materials.
At this moment, in a port in Ha Tinh area, 100 six-legged robots carrying a large amount of materials began to undergo transformation.
The original cranes in the port were automatically modified and then re-modified and connected to the power supply so that they could operate in such cold conditions.
Then, with the cooperation of undersea robots, the cylinders were fixed near the port, leaving a channel extending to the distance of the ocean. This channel was wide enough for an aircraft carrier to pass.
Then a line was connected from the fast reactor nuclear power plant near Shelter 1 to provide power.
As Zero turned on the power, the cylinder in the sea began to emit heat, gradually melting the surrounding ice.
This will ensure that the waterway from the port to the depths of the ocean remains in normal condition.
The dock on the other side does the same thing.
——
At this moment, Lu Chen's Morning Star had sailed out of the treasure island Haixia and entered the South China Sea.
Standing outside the bridge, the cold sea breeze blew by Lu Chen,
Looking at the outside temperature displayed on the armor mask, it had reached minus 60 degrees. Even with the heating of the armor, Lu Chen still shivered unconsciously. It was not that his body was cold, but that he felt cold just by looking at the temperature.
Bai Xiao came over at this time and stood next to Lu Chen,
"Mr. Lu, this is my first time standing on the bridge and looking at the sea scenery."
"It's the same for me. Not only is it the first time I stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, it's also the first time I go out to sea on my own ship."
Lu Chen continued:
"I used to think that it would be great if I had a yacht. I could drive the yacht in the sea with blue sea and blue sky. I could go fishing if I had nothing to do. I would have a party with three or five friends.
Unfortunately, I was busy with work and although I made a lot of money, I didn't have time to buy a yacht.
Then came the news of the meteorite's arrival. I used my savings over the years to build my own shelter under my old house and have been here till now. It's not easy when I think about it."
"Yes, all living beings, just for a few taels of silver, run around and work hard all their lives."
"Haha, I just didn't expect that when I could go out to sea, I would find that the blue sea and blue sky that I imagined were gone, and only black water and gray sky were left."
Lu Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Mr. Lu, there is no need to be so depressed. I heard that the country has begun to control volcanic ash. It is said that there has been a huge harvest,"
"Oh, I still don't believe this news if it comes from other people's mouths. But if it comes from your mouth, I guess it's almost the same."
Bai Xiao did not refute. After all, this is a fact, and unlike some confidential equipment, the global volcanic ash cannot be concealed. It is better to be more generous and show it directly.
The two chatted for a while and then returned to the bridge.
Lu Chen took a look at the progress at Shelter No. 1 and found that in three days, the dock and steel port would be completely renovated.
Through the route, I calculated the distance that the Morning Star needs to travel 1,200 nautical miles. At the current speed of 25 knots, it will take 48 hours to arrive.
We stopped and walked along the way, and arrived at the destination at about that time.
We would first go to the port to unload the RV, and then let Ling drive it to the dock for renovation. We would take Bai Xiao and others to Shelter No. 1 to live first.
Then Lu Chen contacted Ling and asked him to build a dormitory on top of Shelter No. 1, where Bai Xiao and others would live.
——
On the other side, at the Magic City Shipyard, the latest batch of renovated warships were about to be delivered.
This batch of warships included two destroyers, 055/052, 901 comprehensive supply ship, and 071 landing ship, a total of four ships.
After all the personnel arrived, they began to conduct sea trials in nearby waters, including Southeast Asia, Australia, and the Pacific Ocean.
At this moment, Ding Haifeng, the commander of this sea trial fleet, received an order from his superiors to protect Lu Chen and conduct sea trials.
After learning about Lu Chen's contribution, he also felt that such a treasure should be well protected, but Ding Haifeng felt a little bit Cao Dan, you are not in the country to take good care of the journey, why are you going around everywhere.
However, soldiers must obey orders. Since the superiors have said so, they should do their best to protect it.
After notifying everyone to board the ship and prepare to set off, Ding Haifeng also boarded the Nanchang.
One day later, the fleet formation was completed and began a day of offshore testing. After the test was completed, it began to head to Lu Chen.
——
Three days later, the Morning Star arrived at the port near Hejing. Bai Xiao and others boarded the RV with Lu Chen, and the team members stayed in the cargo compartment.
After Tong Li drove the RV down, a route was marked on the screen in the cab. Following this route, you can reach Shelter No. 1.
After Lu Chen and others set off, the Morning Star also left the port and went to the nearby Chuanwu for transformation.
An hour later, Lu Chen and others arrived at Shelter No. 1, parked the car next to the shelter, and got out of the car.
Lu Chen pointed to the dormitory next to the shelter and said to Bai Xiao: "Team Leader Bai, the conditions here are simple, so we can only live here for the time being. I'm in the shelter below. Remember to contact me if you need anything."
Bai Xiao also nodded, and then said: "Mr. Lu, how long do we need to wait here?"
"About three or four days, I need to install some detection equipment on the Morning Star, and put some supplies on it"
"Okay, Mr. Lu, I'll just rest here."
After that, Bai Xiao began to direct the team members to enter the dormitory to rest, and Lu Chen also entered the shelter, and the entire shelter fell into silence.
After Lu Chen entered the shelter, he asked Ling to report the situation of the shelter.
"Sir, after this period of development, the Shixi Mine in the Ha Tinh area can refine 500 tons of iron ingots per day. This is the current situation. The output of titanium ore has also increased. After purification, 10 tons of pure titanium can be obtained.
In addition, some manufacturing facilities have been built in the shelter. The production lines of unmanned transport aircraft and robots have been completed.
As long as the raw materials are sufficient, the robot production line can produce 100 six-legged robots or 50 underwater robots per day.
The drone production line can produce one unmanned transport aircraft per day.
Also, our planting base has been built and can be put into use. The salt mine located on the seashore has been put into production. The daily output can meet the daily intake of 1,000 people."
"Very good, how much mineral deposits have been discovered on the seabed?"
"After the detection of the underwater prospecting robot, it has been The discovered mineral deposits mainly include oil and gas resources, manganese nodules, etc.
At present, the Annan region has been explored and is exploring the Indonesian region. "
"Well, it seems that the development here is not bad. I feel more at ease with you watching over me. In addition, we will build a livestock breeding base. After it is built, all the chickens in Shelter No. 0 will be transported here. There are also some rice seeds in my RV. Take them to the planting base for cultivation and planting.
By the way, have you calculated the yield of the planting base here? "
"Sir, this has been calculated. Take rice as an example. If all the planting bases are used, three crops can be harvested a year, and the yield can reach 2 tons of rice each time. After threshing, about 1.4 tons of rice can be obtained."
Lu Chen nodded. This data is enough for his own use. In addition to the livestock breeding later, rice husks and some broken rice can be mixed together to feed pigs.
"By the way, pick up Taxue from Shelter No. 0. I estimate that I will be out at sea for about two or three months this time, so I'd better take it with me. In addition, prepare at least 100 unmanned transport aircraft and materials to build at least three simple airports. I estimate that there will be a lot of gains from this voyage, so be prepared in advance to be prepared for any eventuality."
"Okay, sir!"
Lu Chen looked around and saw that there was nothing to adjust for the time being, so he prepared to rest first and talk about other things tomorrow.
