Chapter 976: Laugh, you won't be laughing for long!
Thirty-six hours had passed since the Jingwei arrived at Shidao. Updates are fast and ad-free.
In the vicinity of Qiduo Weng Reef, after 12 hours of intensive work, the Genesis finally stopped to carry out maintenance and repairs to the workmanship machinery.
This is a must for an old ship that has been in service for ten years.
Although it is only 10 years old, the loss of the high-power working engine and the cutter suction system is quite large after a long period of subsea operation.
The British reclamation ship was about to be decommissioned, but Monch spent a lot of money to get it through American connections. After-sales maintenance and other work, the industrial base is weak, and the Mengqi country is not capable of carrying out technical personnel.
Therefore, even if an important part is broken, it has to be repaired at a large cost by someone from the British MVB shipyard. They can't afford it, let alone the time.
Therefore, at the beginning of the establishment of the Qiduoweng Reef Island Building Project, the general director of the project, Hamaiqi, set the 12-4-12 circular operation mode.
At this time, the sun was blazing in the sky.
The scorching sun over the sea area was particularly hot, and a kind of engineer of the Mengqi Island Reclamation Operation Team was hiding in the shade with a beer, looking at the direction of Shidao.
"Hey, they've been here for almost two days, why haven't they moved?"
"Oh my God, how do I know? Is it because these two days are weekends?"
"Aha, I'm afraid they feel too hot and hide in the cabin to sleep, right?"
"Hey, the Chinese brothers on the other side, come and drink beer!"
"Hahaha, when I saw their ship through the binoculars, I thought it was something rare. It's been almost two days and hasn't started yet, and it seems that the Chinese industry, which has been rumored to be miraculous, is nothing more than that. ”
"Yes, yes, when the ship arrives, I have to sleep for two days. Like our lazy donkey, poof!"
"Hey, Chinese donkey on the other side, you go to sleep slowly, you old men have to work!"
"Hahahaha!"
The sound of chirping was carried along the sea breeze to the other side.
Although the staff of the Jingwei did not understand the Monchi language, the voice full of mockery and ridicule, how could everyone not understand the meaning?
Xu Haiding, who was in charge of commissioning and commanding the work, had not entered the water for two days.
Although there was a fight within Yishu, when faced with such a situation, there was a fire burning in his heart.
Not only him, but everyone present was silent, with a fire in their eyes. In the mockery of the sea breeze and the sound of the engine coming from Qiduo Weng Island on the other side, he struggled to operate all parts and became familiar with the operation of the Jingwei.
In fact, although the Jingwei has not moved for a day and a half, the cutter suction system has been tested twice last night. With the cooperation of the seabed surveyor, Xu Haiding, together with the engineers and technicians, has made the construction plan.
Just wait for everyone to finish getting familiar with the equipment, and then you can start work directly!
Time passed quickly in minute by minute.
Forty-seven hours after Xu Haiding and the others arrived at Shidao, finally, with a slight tremor at the bottom of the sea, the Jingwei moved!
The jitter came from the Jingwei's two hydraulic fixing rods.
The two fixed rods are more than two meters in diameter and 50 meters long! At this time, with the transmission of the high-power hydraulic system, the two fixed rods are like two huge chopsticks, deeply inserted into the seabed where Jingwei has calibrated the construction position!
The fixed rod quickly bottomed out, followed by a sound of overturning the river and the sea.
The sound comes from two sets of cutter knives, stirring back and forth on the bottom of the sea. Under the huge power of the two Poseidon Hs, the reamer rotated quickly on the bottom of the sea, and poured the crushed seabed sand and gravel through two thick hoses to the rocky island covered with reefs through the jet port!
The sound of the wind and waves crashing on the boulder, and the fishy smell of the sediment on the bottom of the sea, clearly conveyed to the Qiduo Weng Reef.
The attention of everyone in the Mengqi reclamation engineering team was instantly attracted.
Hamaiqi finally took off his face at this time, directly picked up the high-powered night vision binoculars, and looked carefully without blinking his eyes.
After seeing the amount of sand and gravel sprayed nearly twice as much as that of the Genesis, he quickly waved his hand to the surveyors behind him, "Quick! Hurry up and use the telescope to show me! Calculate their work quantity and progress as quickly as possible!"
Two hours later, the surveyor handed him a report.
"Report to the captain, according to the efficiency of their reclamation ship, if they reach the same level of sea base as us, they will only need ten days!"
"What!?so fast?" Hamaiqi was a little surprised.
However, when he carefully thought about the location of Qiduo Weng Reef and the current progress of his own project, he put his ease back on his face.
"Don't worry, boys. We only need to expand the area of the islands and reefs to the planned area within 25 days according to the current progress of the project, and they will not be able to carry out the next projects! Even if they are a little faster than us, we will still be able to successfully complete the task when the time and place are favorable!"
"Phew!"
Once again, the morale of the Monch engineering team was high.
A night passed quickly in the midst of intense construction. In the blink of an eye, it was noon the next day.
The Monchi engineering team, which was resting, didn't have any beer to drink this time. In fact, even if there were, they were not in the mood to see that the other side had been working for fourteen hours straight.
"Why don't they stop? Doesn't the equipment need maintenance?"
"Who knows, if they do it for 24 hours, then this ship will be amazing! I'm afraid that it won't take ten days for them to complete the expansion mission of Shidao. ”
"Cut, didn't you listen to the captain? No matter how advanced their ships are, we are ahead of them in all aspects. When we finish filling in the islands and reefs, the Apo Reef, Scallop Reef and Zhengquan Reef behind it are all counted in our waters. You say, what's the use of them just being faster?"
"Hahaha, Tea Horse is right. Unless they can turn the reef into an island in three days, we'll win the race to build an island!"
While everyone was talking, they saw a medium-sized transport ship approaching rapidly from the north.
After a few moments, the beast, which seemed to never sleep, stopped working.
Immediately afterwards, a scene that made everyone in the Mengqi reclamation team laugh happened.
I saw that after the transport ship arrived, the maintenance ship that had been parked next to the reclamation ship stretched out its long and thick boom.
More than two hours later, the cutter suction system, which originally stretched out in the sea, was dismantled by the Chinese!
It's incredible!
The cutter head that has only been used for less than a day has been scrapped like this?
One-time ah, this is!
"Poofhaha! I said why they don't sleep! It turns out that their winch suction system is disposable! Hahahaha! With such progress, how can it compare with us!"
"Oh my God, they all say that China is an economic power, and this time I believe it! This is too stupid and rich!"
Everyone in the Mengqi engineering team was amused by this "wonderful" winch suction boat - Le's stomach hurt.
Stone Island.
Seeing a group of monkeys on the opposite side giving him the middle finger, peeing, and rolling on the ground with laughter, Li Fanyu, who was standing next to the side of the transport ship, hooked the corners of his mouth.
"Laugh, laugh. ”
"You ...... I can't laugh long!"
