Chapter 564: On the Voyage
Compared with going to sea for the first time, Zhuang Haiyang and his entourage, who embarked on a trip to the open sea again, naturally seemed much more relaxed. When choosing a sailing route, Zhuang Haiyang still chose a new voyage and did not take the previous route.
Considering that in the future, he will embark on a voyage to the Pacific Ocean and other oceans on the Nanzhou side, Zhuang Haiyang feels that taking a few more routes can also make the fleet familiar with the route as soon as possible. Although there are charts and navigation, it is necessary to take a trip.
For the crew members who go to sea with the ship, some of the sea areas and routes have been traveled before. It can be navigated by a warship, and it feels different from sailing on a fishing boat now. Now I'm sailing, and I don't have too much pressure.
Sailing on the high seas, looking at the passing ships, Hong Wei, who was standing beside Zhuang Haiyang, also said with a smile: "It seems that this route is still very lively! In a short time, we will enter the sea area controlled by other countries." ”
"It's okay! We only have two fishing boats, and we haven't entered their economic waters, so what's the problem with sailing in the open sea? This route was also carried out by many merchant ships in ancient times. Come over this time and see if you get anything!"
In the eyes of other comrades-in-arms, Zhuang Haiyang seemed to know the location of many sunken ships. But in fact, the location of each wreck was found when he often went to sea to swim, and then recorded the coordinates of the sea area.
When the time is right, the fleet will find a time to salvage the wreck, which has been sunk to the bottom of the sea for many years. This ancient maritime Silk Road once brought wealth to countless maritime merchants, and also buried the bones of many maritime merchants.
Going to sea sooner or later has become a law, so much so that some comrades-in-arms who have just boarded the ship also feel a little incredible. In their opinion, Zhuang Haiyang can keep up with the speed of two boats by swimming on his own, which is indeed a bit unbelievable.
The problem is that many old comrades-in-arms said very calmly: "When you go out to the sea a few more times, you will be surprised!"
After sailing at sea for a while, considering that it was more troublesome to dock at the supply port, Zhuang Haiyang also said directly: "Lao Hong, inform Lao Zhou, let him take someone to fly later, find the nearest desert island, and let's go to the island for a night's rest." ”
"Okay, it's much more comfortable to walk two steps to the island than to stay on a boat. ”
"The old rule! Keep people on the ship, find a suitable desert island, barbecue and camp. By the way, your security team will pick some people to do a rope landing training on the island. Let the helicopter reconnoiter first, confirm that it is safe before proceeding with the rappelling. ”
"Understood!"
During the time of going to sea, the flight team is also switched from time to time. Two helicopters also carried out corresponding boarding training. I have to say that Zhou Guang and several other pilots have rich experience in sea flight, and there are really no problems.
And the fleet has not rested much since it went to sea. Now in the past week, Zhuang Haiyang plans to find a desert island and let the crew walk around the island, which is still very necessary, and it can also adjust the mood of his comrades.
Nest on the ship every day, even if the living facilities on the ship are very complete. You can eat and live on the ship, and you haven't felt the taste of land for a long time, so that the crew can go to the desert island to take a break, and it can also relieve some of the pressure caused by long-distance voyages.
Through the nautical chart, several uninhabited desert islands located in the open sea were found, and the flight team took off first, and several security team members also flew to the desert islands randomly. After confirming that the desert island was unoccupied and safe, several members of the security team immediately rappelled down to the beach.
Receiving the signal from the security team, Zhuang Haiyang also said with a smile: "Except for the night duty personnel, everyone takes turns to land on the island." If you want to go back to the boat to sleep, wait until you get back on the boat. If you want to camp on the island, wait until you prepare your own tent!"
"Understood!"
Looking at the old team members skillfully going to the material cabin to receive the supplies, the new team members smiled and said: "It seems that you have spent the night on a desert island before, right? Is sleeping on the beach more comfortable than sleeping in the cabin?"
"Change it once in a while, but I still feel comfortable, and sleeping like that is more grounded, isn't it?"
In fact, rest is secondary, the most important thing is to be able to relax. If you have something to do every day, you won't get bored. The problem is that on this kind of long-distance voyage, if you have nothing to do, you will get bored.
It is also very pleasant to take this opportunity to land on the island and pull a group of comrades-in-arms to drink, eat and barbecue. This is also the only opportunity to relax every time the fleet goes to sea, so it is natural to cherish it.
Even if Zhuang Haiyang has thought about it, he will bring the fleet to the nearest supply port and take these comrades-in-arms to see the port cities and scenery abroad. But something like that happened last time, and Zhuang Haiyang didn't want to cause any trouble.
Although all the crew members are ordinary citizens, they all came from the Navy and have served in the Navy for at least four years. Between walking, the temperament and pace are different from ordinary crews.
There are no special circumstances, and Zhuang Haiyang doesn't want to take the crew to land and replenish. Moreover, with the tonnage of the distant-water fishing vessels, the supplies carried by the fleet on this voyage were enough to make a round trip to the route.
It was the first time to participate in such a gathering, and Zhou Guang and others also felt that it was very lively. Looking at Zhuang Haiyang, who did not refuse to ask his comrades to drink, Zhou Guang, who was sitting next to Hong Wei, said with admiration: "This guy, he really doesn't get drunk with a thousand cups!"
"When drinking with this guy, don't talk about the cup, just talk about the bottle. You've just arrived, and you don't know how much this guy drinks. Those of us who don't ask for hardship are not going to ask for it. Drink with him, at most a bottle, even if you are not drunk, you will not drink. ”
For the continuous expansion of the fleet, Hong Wei, as the captain of the security team, is really suitable for this job and life. Perhaps, as Wang Yanming and others said, what he really lacks now may be to ask for a daughter-in-law to have a baby.
The problem is that for Hong Wei, it is really not easy to find a marriage partner!
Situations like this are actually common on the fleet's side. Happily, as the scale of the travel company is also expanding, some comrades-in-arms have also been given the opportunity to get the first month near the water, and they have begun to eat the grass on the edge of the nest.
Zhuang Haiyang did not stop this phenomenon, on the contrary, he was very happy to see it. If Hong Wei really wants to find a girlfriend, it is naturally not a problem. But Hong Wei always felt that he still wanted to find someone to marry.
After three rounds of drinking, the beach near the party has also become a mess. Fortunately, everyone was not drunk, and before going to bed, everyone began to clean up the garbage left over from the dinner. If you choose to return to the boat, you will take a lifeboat back to the fishing boat.
As the person in charge of the fleet, Zhuang Haiyang naturally chose to return to the ship to rest. Looking at the team members in charge of security, Zhuang Haiyang will also say sincerely: "You have worked hard at night! Pay attention to the surrounding situation, and report the situation in time." ”
"Understood! Two hours of rotation, not too tired. It's nice to have something to do!"
Accompanied Zhuang Haiyang to chat a few words, looking at Zhuang Haiyang who entered the captain's lounge, many security team members were clear. It was Zhuang Haiyang who was really the ship, and in the previous several times in distress, Zhuang Haiyang was the first to discover the situation.
If it were them, I was afraid that something would have happened to the fleet a long time ago. Sometimes when I think about it, the security team members feel quite ashamed. Fortunately, from beginning to end, Zhuang Haiyang didn't say anything. After all, they are still on duty and keep vigil, and they are still very dedicated!
After a night's rest, the atmosphere of the fleet was noticeably more relaxed. When the fleet sailed out of Nanzhou Sea and began to enter other foreign waters, Hong Wei, as the person in charge of security, immediately issued a warning order.
Seeing this scene, many new team members were also curious: "Is this sea area dangerous?"
"As long as you are at sea, danger can arise at any time. What we need to do now is to remain vigilant and make sure the fleet leaves this area safely. Because of this sea, there will be pirates from time to time. ”
"Pirates, don't you crack down on these neighboring countries?"
"It's a complicated area and it's a lot of islands. The fight against piracy also requires joint action. The problem is that several neighboring countries claim to have sovereignty over this area. Joint encirclement and suppression, difficult!"
After telling the new team about some of the things they knew about going to sea, the fleet began to continue sailing in the direction of New Cillera at normal speed. During the day, Zhuang Haiyang will also arrange helicopter take-off and landing patrols.
With a helicopter, it is indeed possible to cruise a sea area far away. And Zhuang Haiyang doesn't have to go to sea in person, he stays directly on the ship, and through the walkie-talkie, he can understand the possible dangers around the fleet, which is indeed much easier.
Even Zhou Shengjie said with a smile: "With the helicopter, our sea voyage is indeed much safer and more efficient." ”
"Difficult! Our helicopters are more suitable for daytime take-off and landing. If someone really wants to fight the fleet, they must choose to do it at night. I just hope that we can arrive safely in New Zealand this time, and there will be no accidents. ”
"Probably not! Although in this area, our navy does not come very often. But when other ships see our flag, they must not dare to do it lightly, right? If something happens, they will also be in trouble!"
"Trouble, what's the trouble? The sovereignty of this sea area itself is not clearly demarcated. If something really happens, what country should you protest to?"
With Zhuang Haiyang saying this, Zhou Shengjie thought for a while and said: "It's no wonder that there are not many ships passing by in this sea area now. It seems that the pirates that come and go from time to time still bring a lot of security risks to this sea. ”
"That's for sure! But as far as we're concerned, we're not afraid, but we don't want to cause too much trouble. Speed up your voyage and try to pass through relatively dangerous seas during the day. ”
"Understood!"
Perhaps the helicopter cruising in the sky from time to time has made many people realize that this fleet of two distant-water fishing vessels is just not so easy to mess with. The flotilla went smoothly and left the relatively dangerous navigable waters.
It then took a few more days for the fleet to reach Nyusile safely. When the ocean-going fishing vessel docked safely at the ranch's own dock, the ranch management who came to greet them also knew that the ranch's annual fishing event had begun.
Not surprisingly, this year's fleet of two large fishing vessels is bound to catch more fresh seafood and crabs. Some companies and enterprises that have cooperated with farms before are now ready to start making money again!
