Chapter 859: A Short Farewell
It is said that strict teachers produce high apprentices, and this sentence does make sense. After these five days of devil training, Hong Tao himself can feel that he has improved a lot, many things that were originally sloppy are now standardized, and if they are not standardized, they will be scolded immediately. However, this scolding was not in vain, in the subsequent exam, Hong Tao only made one mistake and obtained the qualification of A-class sailing captain, which is also complete.
"Hey, dear, I'm leaving tomorrow...... Call me if you have something, you remember this number, 872 in front of the Pacific Ocean, 873 in the Indian Ocean, 871 in the western Atlantic, and 874 in the east...... By the way, it doesn't matter, don't fight, this thing costs $14 per minute, or a two-way charge. When will you come back? It's not a score...... If you can live, I guess it will take about a year.Every time I go to a city, I will call you, if it's fun, you can bring your children to me, okay, that's it, don't worry, your husband and I are born hard, no matter how big the wind and waves are, it's flat, hang up!"
He didn't want to say more, and every word he said would weaken his resolve by a point. None of the women agreed with him, so he drove the boat away, not to mention any business or not, and his little life may not be saved! But Hong Tao is a very bastard on this issue, he never takes into account the feelings of others, as long as it is something he wants to do, then he must do it, no one can say anything. He had this kind of problem in his previous life, but because of his own strength, he could only bury it deep in his heart, and there was only a small flame left, but it has not been extinguished. In this life, his ability was enough, and this small flame immediately ignited a raging fire, which made him uncomfortable. I can't hold back anymore.
"Fifth brother, this time my brother will go out for a spin in a galleon, and it will take a year and a half to come back at the shortest, maybe he won't be able to come back in this life. If you really can't come back. I've already arranged everything behind me, if you have time to spare, go and see them more, and help them if you have anything. In addition, there is a Honda sedan parked in the underground garage of my house, and there are two large boxes in the trunk. That's what I prepared for myself, you'd better not look at it, it's easy to vomit blood when you see it. You drive the car away, it's also a black car, it's clean, but the box in the trunk has to trouble you to send someone to send me to Fisherman's Wharf in Vancouver. Tomorrow is the 21st, I arrived at the dock around the 25th, and I can hand over my things. Don't go too early, I'll call you on the way. After dealing with the women, Hong Tao made another call to Xiao Wu. God mysteriously arranged something.
"Which one are you singing? Are you tired of being crooked? What hurdles you can't get over and tell the fifth brother that there is nothing you can't resist! Did you lose all our money? It doesn't matter, I still have a little bit here with Heizi, return it to Sergei first, people can't let the money suffocate to death, right?" Xiao Wu couldn't understand Hong Tao's crazy behavior, thinking that he was forced to run away by something.
By the way, if I really can't come back, I've arranged for you, Kuroko, and Sergei's stocks, and a lawyer will come to you. When the time comes, you'll know how much money you have, so let's have fun! I advise you, don't sell those stocks, and save them for '99. It's done, don't worry about me, I'm taking two big girls to hang out all over the world, not to play with my life, those things are just for self-defense. Be careful when you send someone to deliver the goods, once you are found by the police. That's not clear. Hang up, I'll talk about it later, I still have to go to work on tomorrow's departure!" Hong Tao listened to Xiao Wu's words, and his heart was warm. He and Heizi are now also rich men, and they have to have eight or nine million dollars if they don't have hundreds of millions, and when they heard that something might have happened to them, they didn't even ask the specific amount of money, so they were willing to take money to help them plug the holes, this kind of friend is called a friend, and it is not in vain that he takes the risk to help them, it's worth it!
Hong Tao is indeed very busy, sailing around the world, not from the Seal Rock Manor, Ventura, two or three days away, this out is tens of thousands of kilometers of vast sea, can think of everything must be bought, rather than bring more than less, rather waste than not enough.
First of all, the food, people are iron and rice, and there is nothing to eat, and it is useless to be full of GPS. Due to the large size of the ships and the small number of personnel, Hong Tao had a large food stockpile. The two large freezers are full of frozen beef and chicken, and there is no need to bring the fish, and there is Hong Tao, a fishing expert, who wants to eat fish on the sea in minutes, and it is still super fresh! In addition to meat, there are also flour, sugar, seasonings, vegetables, fruits, snacks, and other things. Because the two bedrooms at the bow of the ship were relatively bumpy, Hong Tao directly turned the bedroom into a storage room, and the big bed was removed! However, things like vegetables and fruits cannot be stored for a long time, and no matter how much they are filled, it is useless, and some vitamin capsules must be prepared to supplement the necessary vitamins of the human body.
But this water man can't drink it, and if you don't want to be thirsty to death in a large area of water, you must bring enough fresh water. There was originally a 200-liter freshwater storage tank on the Crazy Mouse III, and a set of seawater purification devices with a daily output of 80 liters of fresh water.
Then there is medicine, and whoever eats whole grains will not be sick. Especially on the vast sea, no matter how good the body is, it is inevitable that there will be a disaster, so all kinds of medicines must be prepared, and there must be enough first-aid equipment, in case anyone is injured or something, at least it can be dealt with urgently, which is also a must when obtaining a sailing license.
Finally, there is the issue of power and electricity, although the sailboat is propelled by the wind, but the navigation equipment on it all needs electricity, once the power is gone, then you really have to look at the sun and stars to determine the course like Magellan. Although Hong Tao has also learned this technique, the reliability of this thing is very low, and if the chart is slightly deviated by half a centimeter, then you may not be able to find land for the rest of your life.
The Crazy Mouse III is a big power guzzler, with a large freezer, an oven, a coffee machine, an electric sail control system and a GPS navigation system, so the power requirements are even greater. Generally, sailing ships will be equipped with at least one diesel engine, which can be used as auxiliary power for sailboats, but in fact, the most important thing is to provide electricity for sailboats. The electricity generated when it is running will be stored by the battery pack, and once the diesel engine stops running, all the electrical equipment on the ship will be powered by the battery pack.
One of the disadvantages of battery power is that the power is too small, so sailboats need to save electricity when they are sailing at sea. Hong Tao felt that this was too hard, so Hong Tao specially added a 600W hydroelectric generator to the ship, so that as long as the sailboat is in the running state, the two hydroelectric generators will continue to provide about 1000 watts of electricity, which is almost the same as saving a little.
In fact, Hong Tao wanted to install a third hydroelectric generator, but the sailing mechanics in the club stopped him from doing this crazy move. Because each hydroelectric generator slows down the speed of the sailboat, two is already the limit, if three are installed, then the speed of the sailboat will not be left, and the wind will not be able to run. Although Hong Tao didn't care too much about the speed of the voyage, and he didn't go to the race, he listened to the advice of people to eat enough, since people couldn't say it, it would definitely not work.
In addition to food, fresh water, first-aid medicines, and power, there are many miscellaneous things to prepare. For example, all kinds of thin clothes, shoes and socks, since it is a circumnavigation of the world, it will definitely pass through different seasons, and it is very important to keep warm; for example, all kinds of batteries, chargers, don't underestimate these things, once they are missing, they are fatal, whether it is a maritime satellite phone or lighting fixtures, they need these things; for example, all kinds of sunscreen, diving supplies, swimsuits, water skis, sunglasses, playing cards, books and other entertainment items, life jackets, fire extinguishers, enough sails, cables and so on. Anyway, Hong Tao mobilized everyone he knew in the club to draft a shopping list together, for fear of missing something.
"Sir, where are we going to sleep at night?" You have converted all the bedrooms into storage rooms......" When Hong Tao took Rada and Carol to inspect the sailboat for the last time the night before departure, Radha finally couldn't help it and asked her questions that she had been holding back for days.
"Isn't there the master bedroom at the stern, that bed is enough for us, you say, Carroll?" Hong Tao couldn't help but be amused, he didn't even mention the single bedroom, the bed in there was not removed, but there were also a few wakeboards, and there were other uses for it, and there would be two large boxes on board when he arrived in Vancouver.
"I think it's good, I like that big bedroom......" Carol understood what Hong Tao meant, and glanced at Rada with a strange smile.
"......" Radha also understood what Hong Tao meant, and his face was a little red. That's three people sleeping in a bed, although she had long been mentally prepared to sleep with Hong Tao, but she didn't expect it to be in this way.
"You see, Carol has no opinion...... I'm the captain, I'm in charge! Don't think about these things, go and look at the anchor chain compartment in the bow, I'll check the gas tank in the galley, and I don't know if two gas canisters are enough......" Hong Tao patted Lada's head and didn't explain much on this issue. Eliza and the beautiful coach had told themselves more than once that on the ship, the captain was God, and the captain could and had to have the final say, and that thing would kill a boatload of people. Hong Tao deeply believes in this view, how to arrange the sailor's cabin is one of the captain's rights, and he does not hesitate to exercise it once. (To be continued.) )xh118R1052
