Saturday, January 14th. It is also the day when the 93rd class of Jiaohai Academy finishes the final exam.

As the bell rang for the last class, everyone stretched out almost in unison. Then the classmates who usually have a good relationship will naturally get together to talk to each other and talk about the winter vacation arrangement.

"Finally finished the exam, Kun, how do you feel? You should be very confident, right?" Huang Han, the head of the dormitory, chatted with Gu Kun for the first time.

"Do you want to flash first, or wait for the results to be announced at school and officially have winter vacation before leaving?" Zhou Yaoguang had already calculated whether to flash in advance.

Theoretically, there is still a few days between the final exam in college and the official winter vacation.

But in fact, if you are bold enough to leave on the day of the test, no one cares about you.

Hearing this, Huang Han mocked Zhou Yaoguang: "Why are you showing that you are a local? Who doesn't know that even if you go home early, you can come back at any time if there is something going on in the school." ”

Zhou Yaoguang explained tactfully: "How can it be called a show? You're afraid that something will happen at school, so you can play around for two more days.

How about it? I can be a tour guide for you, and do my best to be a landlord. Especially Brother Gu, it's only been a few months since you came to Hujiang, I see that you are so busy, and you haven't been to many places yet. Do you Lanfang people want to celebrate the New Year? If you don't celebrate the New Year, you can come to Hujiang for the winter vacation, I think it's not bad. ”

Gu Kun: "Thank you, I still have something to do during the winter vacation." But I understand your kindness, if you want to get together to play, it must be my treat, how can I let you invite. ”

"Forget about it, your affairs must be serious and big, how can we delay you. Huang Han politely refused.

However, this time, Gu Kun's reaction was beyond their expectations.

Gu Kun smiled: "It's okay, you're welcome-let me tell you this, my business, that is, half-play and half-travel, is going to sail to sea, there are no secrets, a few more acquaintances to accompany me, I'm not bored." For you, it's a free cruise. ”

"I'll go, is there such a good thing?" Huang Han couldn't react for the time being.

Gu Kun: "What's so strange about this? Whether it's traveling or going to sea, it's all fresh and enjoyable for people who have just arrived." People who stay for a long time feel bored.

You all know the assistant brother I often take with me, right? He is the best example, he used to guard the desert island in the Weisha Islands for eight years, and he often recalled to me that the scenery there was really beautiful, the coconut groves, palm trees, and coral seas, all of which were the best scenery in the world.

But if you have lived on a desert island for a long time, the first week is heaven, the second week is earth, and the third week is purgatory. Now that I've been away for a long time, I feel nostalgic for the beautiful scenery there. We are all studying marine engineering, and when you get on the ship, you can more or less help me do something, and everyone will win together, what's wrong?"

After listening to such an analysis, Huang Han and Zhou Yaoguang's minds warmed up.

In this way, helping Gu Kun go to sea to do things during the winter vacation is indeed a real win-win situation.

They don't ask Gu Kun for salary, Gu Kun can also have a few assistants who know some professional skills and can help, they also win internship experience, and at the same time can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the open sea like a cruise, and they don't have to worry about getting tired after only two or three weeks.

Huang Han said on the spot: "Thinking about it this way, this matter is very reliable! Ah Kun, I didn't say it, as long as the brothers can get started, this matter must be helped." However, you haven't said what you're going to do with your boat on the winter vacation, and we'll have to see if we can. ”

"Basic oceanographic surveying, right? Even I can, can you?" Gu Kun patted Huang Han on the shoulder, gave the other party encouragement, and then half-truthfully told him about his cover plan,

"You are all my buddies, and I won't hide it from you, as for me, I took three months off in November because of business. In fact, at that time, I took the time to go to Hekland and bought a scientific research ship needed for the Lanfang Port project to do marine surveys.

At this time, I am pondering on the current mainstream international waterway charts whether I can make more adequate preparations for the business expansion of Lanfang Port in the future. After thinking about it, I set my eyes on the transshipment port business of Japanese and Korean bulk carriers on the Malacca route. ”

This matter, of course, is an excuse for Gu Kun.

In the future, after Lanfang Port is really built and expanded, he will indeed consider taking more shares of the transit business in the shipping industry from Li Jiapo, and the list of Japan and South Korea will also be grabbed.

However, that was at least three years later, and now there is not a single word.

If only the economic account is calculated, even if Gu Kun wants to measure the seabed topography of the Lanfang channel, he should start from the periphery of the South China Sea and work steadily.

Because the data measured there is not only useful for his port, but also the relevant departments can give him a subsidy, according to the price of more than 2 million yuan per 2,500 square nautical miles of seabed terrain.

And Gu Kun should give priority to surveying, it will be more easterly. The seabed terrain of the new route involving Japan and South Korea near the Philippines will not be paid for by the relevant departments in China.

Reasonably, under normal circumstances, it must be the subsidized sea area first.

And since Gu Kun has made another choice, it means that this matter is not a normal situation.

He's a drunkard, and he doesn't mean to drink. In fact, the reason why Gu Kun went there to measure was because after he sifted through the records of those precious shipwrecks recorded in his previous life, he set his eyes on a precious shipwreck on the high seas in that channel.

And this kind of thing, if he rashly runs to a position on the high seas far away from Lan Fang, and directly catches a boat, then the whole world will suspect that he has a miracle or a prophet in the future.

Therefore, he needs a reasonable reason with many witnesses to provide evidence for why he will be present at this time and place in the future.

All the participants are his best "alibi witnesses" and "temporary intention witnesses".

Fortunately, the joints in this, Huang Han, Zhou Yaoguang, and even the other students in the academy, even if they knew Gu Kun's decision, they couldn't see the flaws, so what he said was what he said.

With Zhou Yaoguang's IQ and experience, after thinking about it again and again, he still felt that Gu Kun's logic was very reasonable, so he took the initiative to ask: "Then I don't know, which part of the sea area do you mainly want to measure during the winter vacation?"

People who study naval architecture and ocean engineering often carry a large-scale map of the world in their school bags.

Since everyone discussed this issue, Gu Kun casually took out a large map from his schoolbag, spread it out on the desk, and then the map opened up.

He held a pen and struck on the high seas between the Philippines, the bay and the Okinawa archipelago:

"You should know that the bulk carriers of the three major countries in East Asia were all transited by Li Jiapo. If you want to go north from Lijiapo after leaving the Strait of Malacca, the most economical route is through the Wanwan Strait.

However, the Lan side is more than 400 nautical miles east-northeast of Lijiapo, and if the sea ships transfer from the Lan side, they will turn north and go to the Wanwan Strait, and the angle of the fold is a little larger, and it will be one or two hundred nautical miles longer than the nearest route, and the voyage will be more than one or two hundred nautical miles, and it will be uneconomical.

In contrast, if the sea ships that come out from Lanfang and go to most areas of Yuben, and even the port of Busan in Nambang, if they take the sea area between the Philippines and the bay on the way, the overall route will be smoother and more economical - those who go to Seoul are not counted, because Seoul is too far west, and if you take the Philippine route to the north, it will go far away, and the part about Nambang I just said is only applicable to the port of Busan. ”

Zhou Yaoguang touched his beardless chin and asked, "What do you mean, I want to survey the seabed landform of the area that may be involved in this new route, but which has not been measured by major international maritime companies before?"

That's what it means. ”

Zhou Yaoguang: "Then we have helped this time, this is a valuable internship opportunity for us, otherwise we will have to intern at least in the fourth year before we may have the opportunity to go on the oceanographic survey ship, now we are applying what we have learned in advance." ”

Huang Han also admitted with a conscience: "Those who can board the ocean survey ship in the senior year are all honor students, and they are ordinary, and it is estimated that when they are in graduate school, they will have the opportunity to be taken on the ship by their mentors to do first-line scientific surveys in person."

If you want me to say, Ah Kun takes care of us so much, we should also make a statement, right? After graduation, if Ah Kun is useful and has people, we should follow him first. He doesn't need it, let's find a job on our own - I heard that the education department is already discussing, and the allocation of college students' graduation packages may be canceled in a year or two, maybe we will catch up with the first class to find a way out by then. ”

Zhou Yaoguang also smiled and agreed: "You all know that you don't have to be assigned a package, what do you say about beautiful things? Maybe it's not that Ah Kun is short of people, it's that we can't find a job." ”

Gu Kun said in a timely manner: "Eh, don't be presumptuous, now college students are not flooded to that extent, everyone is Jiaotong University, how can someone not find a job - I'll leave it here, as long as someone is willing to defect to me at that time, I will definitely treat him as a backbone veteran and take everyone to a future together." ”

Gu Kun said that later, he had forgotten to control the volume, and after finishing speaking, he found that their "roommate pointed out the country and mountain forum" had become a state of being watched by the whole class and the next class.

"Brother Gu, how many people can you get on the boat? As long as you take care of the food, we are willing to give you a day job during the winter vacation, not an internship. ”

"Why do you need someone to take care of the food? Brother Gu, I don't have to take care of your food, I will pay for the food on the boat, and I want me!"

rushed to get on the ship, and soon pressed the conditions into a human shape.

Gu Kun suddenly realized that these questions were not suitable for talking about in the classroom.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, there will be opportunities in the future. It's not as simple as you think, before the Spring Festival, my big ship hasn't arrived yet. I will notify you if necessary. Until then, we've been playing in private, so don't take it seriously. ”
