I learned from Sa Wuyang that the survey ship of the Design Institute of Jiaotong University was so hardworking.

Even the employer did not personally explain the task, so he started work on his own.

Gu Kun couldn't help but secretly think in his heart: The expert who brought the ship this time wouldn't be a technical nerd who didn't know how to understand people, right?

For a normal employer, it is of course a good thing to have a more serious tech nerd.

Because then the employer can save a lot of intrigue and prevent the people who work from being inefficient, lazy, cheating and cheating.

However, for Gu Kun, this has both advantages and disadvantages.

Because he's a hanger, if you meet someone who is too technically serious, and find that his progress is too fast, and you have to verify it more seriously, it will be a little troublesome.

It's useless to worry, anyway, the mystery will soon be revealed.

In the evening of the same day, Gu Kun saw the marine survey ship of the Design Institute of Jiaotong University docked back to Lanfang Port.

It is an ocean-going survey ship with a weight of about 6,000 tons, a length of 110 meters, and a total weight of nearly 10,000 tons when fully loaded. In Lanfang Port, where the maximum berthing limit is only 10,000 tons, the appearance of this ship is enough to attract everyone's attention.

The name of the ship is inconspicuous, but it is codenamed - the brush on the side of the ship is "Jiaohai Survey 003".

When Gu Kun paid to charter the ship, he also heard people from Jiaotong University talk about the origin of the ship-

In fact, this ship was not built by Huaxiaguo's own shipyard, but was bought in October 1993 from a shipyard in Sevastopol, Hekland, together with a group of other special research vessels.

During the Cold War, Lucia's marine survey technology was far more powerful than that of China, so within two or three years after the collapse of the USSR, the domestic navy and maritime departments bought a lot of things from Heckland.

After all, only Lucia has inherited the attribute that the USSR must fight to the end with the Western camp, and must strictly guard its own military and technological bottom line. Other small countries that emerged from the USSR do not have these historical baggage, and they can sell the legacy of the USSR era and try to ease relations with the West.

Just like the Yuriolov played by Nicolas Cage in "Lord of War", as an international arms dealer, after the collapse of the USSR, the first thing he thought of was to go to Hekland to pour things, instead of going to the more difficult Lucia.

Huaxia is already very generous in this regard, mainly because the country doesn't have much money and can't afford expensive ones, so the wave in October 93 was a kind of cargo that I really bought scientific research ships.

For example, the Antarctic research ship "Snow Dragon", which is very well-known in China, is also one of the results of this wave of procurement. The boat currently rented by Gu Kun is still "contemporary" with the "Snow Dragon".

(Note: The "Snow Dragon" was bought from Heklan in 93 and was modified in accordance with the requirements of the Chinese side.) In the 2010s, the country built its own "Snow Dragon 2", do not get confused. ）

When this ship was bought, because it was with a full set of detection equipment, the price was relatively expensive, and a ship of more than 6,000 tons would be sold for more than 3 million US dollars.

You must know that according to the original trajectory of history, the 30,000-ton "Minsk" retired aircraft carrier next year will only be sold at this price when the scrap ship is sold to the shipbuilding company under the Nanbang Daewoo Group!

In 93~95, it should have been the peak period of cheap sales of Hekeland equipment.

A ship that costs more than 3 million US dollars is equivalent to 2,500 to 30 million yuan. According to the price of 1 million yuan for a three-month lease period, the design institute of Jiaotong University asked Gu Kun to collect the rent, which has already calculated the conscience price after the discount.

......

The boat docked at the pier, and Gu Kun took Gao Jianxiong to board the ship as soon as possible.

In the captain's room, he met the technical head of the ship, a middle-aged man with a bit of Mediterranean baldness.

"Hello, my name is Du Guowei, and I am the technical person in charge of this survey. Mr. Gu has any needs and plans, just ask us. ”

"Fortunately, Mr. Du is also from Jiaotong University? Yes, then he is my senior or teacher. Gu Kun looked the other party up and down, confirming that the other party didn't quite look like that kind of mixed school relationship.

Du Guowei smiled shyly: "Don't dare, I'm just a doctoral student now." ”

Gu Kun was slightly surprised: "You ...... this year"

"At 32 years old, I look old. Du Guowei was a little embarrassed.

"Studying until 32?"

This has to be the old problem of how many years of delaying graduation.

"After graduating with a master's degree, I went to work in the institute for three years, but it was a research assistant. Later, the leader persuaded me to go to further my studies again, saying that I could be promoted to the title of associate researcher after reading, so I went, but the results were always not enough to graduate, and this year is the fourth year of my Ph.D. study. ”

At the age of 25, he graduated with a master's degree and entered the design institute, and worked until the age of 28 to study for a doctorate, but he did not graduate at 32, and it seems that the water is quite deep.

From the chat, Gu Kun also realized a problem: in the 90s, the "professional title" was a great suppression for scientific researchers in the domestic system.

At that time, there were very few flexible R&D institutions with private investment.

If you have the ability to do it for a long time, or you are stuck there in terms of seniority, and you can't get promoted to your job title, you can't do more, and this kind of example abounds.

Perhaps, the follow-up poaching can give priority to those who are unambitious in terms of job titles.

Of course, Gu Kun does not mean that the job title is completely unimportant, after all, it is also a measure of a person's resume and ability. But since he wants to dig up a depression in value, he must focus on finding something that is easy to persuade.

After the two sides got acquainted with each other, Gu Kun asked a professional question: "Dr. Du, can you teach me how to use the main survey instruments on the ship, and by the way, introduce your operation process and survey speed?"

In his previous life, Gu Kun also used some marine hydrological observation equipment slightly, because in the final analysis, the principle of these things is sonar reflection, which is nothing more than a difference in detail, mechanism and accuracy.

However, the operability of equipment varies greatly from country to country, and it is still necessary to learn it.

Du Guowei gave a brief introduction first, and asked the operator on the ship to demonstrate to Gu Kun.

Du Guowei himself is only responsible for the follow-up surveying and mapping, and does not need to operate the instrument himself. Because surveyors require good listening, which is not what a reader should do.

Gu Kun tried it a little, and sure enough, it was very quick to get started, which was amazing.

Du Guowei said half heartily praising and half dissuading: "Mr. Gu, you are the fastest I have ever seen, but this kind of operational matter, it is still necessary for our comrades to come."

This measurement is very hard for a long time, and the requirements for hearing are also high. At present, we are able to complete the bottom terrain of the 5 x 10 nautical mile sea area with shipping-grade accuracy and fine survey every day, which is definitely enough to meet your progress needs - the total area of the entry and exit channels involved in the expansion of Lanfang Port is about 50 x 50 nautical miles, and we can complete the survey in 50 days, and we can report the data to the design institute before September. ”

Gu Kun flatly refused: "No, I paid the rent, and I have the right to choose how to use this boat." Besides, you're not working 24-hour shifts, right, I can let my people take over some of these shifts. As for you, you're in charge of mapping the data we've got. ”

The final drawing assignment still needs professionals to do it, and Gu Kun hasn't studied marine engineering yet, so he can't draw it.

Therefore, the "surveying and mapping" can be disassembled, and the survey is opened and measured by Gu Kun, and the painting is still painted by Du Guowei.

If the person who buys the data in the future does not believe in the accuracy of this surveying and mapping, then you can choose some points for spot checks and re-inspection.

Du Guowei thought that Gu Kun thought that he was slow to work, and shouted: "Boss Gu, this is a very professional thing, you can't just rely on you to give money...... What if you're only chasing speed and shoddy and missing some terrain details?

Under normal circumstances, it is not slow.

But what a hanger you've encountered. A normal surveyor has to compare and confirm the work for more than ten seconds, and Gu Kun may know it directly.

Gu Kun reconfirmed the order, and then left the captain's room with Gao Jianxiong.

Standing on the deck, he ordered: "Lao Gao, don't follow me during this time, don't run the boat, you stay on the boat and keep an eye on them, and you will guard while I work." ”

Gao Jianxiong was slightly shaken and embarrassed, and persuaded him: "Boss, everyone is Chinese...... It's also for the country. ”

He is not afraid of danger, but after all, he has been stationed on the front line for ten years, and the patriotic tendon in his bones has not been reversed.

Gu Kun knew that if Gao Jianxiong wanted to be reused by him, this heart barrier had to be overcome.

What the boss does, if you don't understand it for the time being, you have to carry it out.

Gu Kun emphasized in a commanding tone: "I am only for the country! They are just scholars and technicians, what kind of consciousness do they know? Only by listening to me can they use their limited resources to measure more useful information." I can make more money, and buyers can get better coastal security. ”

Gao Jianxiong pondered for a while, and stood up and saluted solemnly: "Yes, boss, I know what to do!"

It's cool to follow Boss Gu, not only has a much higher income than when he was in the service, but also can see exotic customs, the key is not to delay himself to serve the motherland.

Gao Jianxiong felt that this job search after changing jobs was the most correct decision in his life. Not only is his life much better than before, but he has also made more contributions to coastal defense than when he was in service.

In the future, even if the boss's words can't be understood for the time being, there must be another deep meaning, and the implementation is right.

......

So, in just one or two days, the operation of the survey ship was gradually taken over and controlled by Gu Kun.

After all, this is his territory, and those who want to carry private goods can't force themselves to come.

The measurement speed of the survey ship soared several times compared with the previous period when Du Guowei was at the helm. Originally, the waterway around Lanfang Port was to be measured for 50 days, but in a week, more than half of it was measured.

Then, Gu Kun began to work unplanned, and asked the ship to sail further to the open sea in the direction of the straight line connecting Lanfang and Lijiapo/Yalong City/Yuezhou.

On this day, it was about the beginning of July, and when the survey ship sailed to a position more than 60 nautical miles east of Lanfang Port, it was already a night shift.

When Gu Kun personally operated the operation again, he discovered an anomaly in the seabed topography.

"XXX/YYY coordinates, submarine reef, 30 m long and 5 m wide, trending northeast/southwest...... No, this echo doesn't sound like a coral reef, so let's dive to make sure. ”

While sketching, Du Guowei heard the words and persuaded: "As long as the size is good, there is no need to dive, right?"

"Just let my people go. ”
