341, Ming Dynasty treasure ship (2)
"Ayi, what's the good thing that makes you happy?" asked Phantom Hime. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Yi told Phantom Ji about his idea, and Phantom Ji was very happy after hearing it: "Great, this time we finally have our own career!"
At this time, the three brothers of the Shi family came over, and the eldest said:
"Mr. Li, thank you very much for saving the big guy's life, we plan to go back by submarine, we can't leave our father-in-law for too long!"
"Okay, you go back and greet Shi Lao for me, and when we get married in a few days, I will personally come to invite Shi Lao!"
Li Yi looked at the scientific and technological personnel and engineers on the Qianlong and built a repair platform around the Longxiang, according to the current progress, as long as there are suitable materials, the Longxiang can be roughly repaired in a few days, and the Longxiang can sail for a short distance.
After the Qianlong sent away the Shi brothers and partners, it immediately approached the relevant Australian authorities and obtained a large amount of high-quality timber, and then the Australian side learned that Li Yi had found a well-preserved ancient sea vessel, and decided to carry out large-scale publicity activities on this matter to promote friendly relations between China and Australia.
"I really fell asleep and met the pillow, I am so grateful for the decision of the Australian side!"
The Australian side decided to do publicity with great fanfare, which invisibly helped Li Yi save a lot of publicity costs. The fat man learned about Li Yi's plan from Phantom Ji, and immediately became full of confidence, planning to show his skills in Australia.
After a week of intense repair, the Dragon Xiang was ready to sail, but the sea water had no intention of receding, which made the fat man anxious.
"Fatty, you don't have to worry, just in one or two days, the sea will drop to the lowest day of the year!"
Sure enough, early the next morning, the sea began to recede, and the sea water, which could only barely reach the top of the cave, began to continue to fade, and when the sun was rising, the Longxiang began to set sail slowly under the control of the sailors of the Hidden Dragon.
The sailors, who had never operated a real wooden battleship, looked excited, and many cheered on deck. When the sun first rose, the golden sunlight bathed the sails of the Longxiang, the Longxiang finally left the underwater cave that had been moored for five or six hundred years.
In order to escort the Longxiang back to China, the Australian side sent three destroyers to escort the escort, and this will be a friendly visit -- the first visit by an Australian warship to the Chinese Navy.
The semi-submersible Xinguang had arrived in the northern waters of Sydney two days ago, and when the Longxiang appeared, the Xinguang began to inject seawater, and when the deck of the giant loading ship capable of carrying 150,000 tons was submerged in the seawater, the Longxiang slowly sailed into the deck of the Xinguang.
As the Xingxinguang began to discharge the seawater, the Longxiang stopped smoothly on the deck of this semi-submersible ship built by our country. The reporters who had already arrived around them rented speedboats or took cruises to record this historic moment.
At noon, the semi-submersible Xinguang arrived in Sydney Harbour with the Longxiang on board, where a three-day large-scale display event will be held.
Li Yi found Zhao Jinyi, who came as promised, and explained his plan and discernment, which made Zhao Jinyi can't help but give a thumbs up and admire Li Yi's plan.
After the Dragon Hung anchored in Sydney Harbour, tourists and locals flocked to visit the city, and in a moment, countless people learned about China's colorful ancient culture and world-leading shipbuilding technology.
The next day, the city of Sydney's news media began to hype up the Longxiang and began to promote the first Sydney City and China to hold a diving festival, this time with Li Yi and Zhao Jinyi as the representatives of the Chinese side, and the Sydney City Council as the representative of the Australian side.
In order to attract diving enthusiasts from all over the world, Li Yi and Zhao Jinyi partnered to donate 30 million US dollars as the prize money for the first diving festival and diving competition.
"Ayi, I think it's difficult to gather enough people to participate in a simple diving activity, so why don't we include the sailing competition!"
Faced with Zhao Jinyi's proposal, Li Yi asked, "Jinyi, do you have any specific plans there?"
"I love sailing, so we can start in Sydney and do a sailing race around Australia, and do a lot of publicity for our farm!
Li Yi thought about it, and at Zhao Jinyi's suggestion, he suddenly thought of a better way:
"Since we are going to have a diving festival, it is okay to have a sailing championship, but this is not enough to attract everyone's attention, why not we hold the world's first water sports competition, and we can hold any sports that can be played on the water with great fanfare!"
"This is great, it's just that time doesn't allow it, and it's definitely too late in a short time!" Zhao Jinyi thought about it carefully and said his opinion.
Li Yi pondered for a while and said: "We might as well hold such a world competition between Australia and China, I will build the corresponding competition venues in China, and you will negotiate with the city of Sydney in Australia, I believe that Sydney will be very happy to hold such a competition that can benefit Australia's tourism industry!"
After Li Yi and Zhao Jinyi finalized the big framework, they began to act separately, and at present, what they want to do is to use the first diving festival to promote and prepare for the future sailing competition and the World Water Sports Competition.
Sure enough, as Li Yi judged, the Australian side, especially the Sydney City Government, showed strong interest after learning of Li Yi and Zhao Jinyi's plan, and finally Li Yi and Zhao Jinyi jointly funded it, and the City of Sydney provided the competition venue and construction personnel.
Xuanle, who returned to China in advance, learned about Li Yi's plan from the fat man, and immediately discussed it with Qi Tianjun and the people of the Wu family, and as a result, the Xuan family, the Qi family and the Wu family also joined Li Yi and Zhao Jinyi's plan.
Although this is a staggering scale of investment, all those who have joined the program have shown great confidence in the plan.
No one thought that the plan led by Li Yi would become a normal world competition in the world not inferior to the Olympic Games in the next ten years, and each one was held exactly two years apart from the Olympic Games.
Preparations for the diving festival went very smoothly, and according to Li Yi's vision, the cave hidden under the sea was used as a special venue for the competition, and it was also the starting point of the expedition.
After the plan of the diving festival was widely publicized by the media, diving masters from all over the world flocked to the city of Sydney, Australia, stimulated by a huge amount of money.
In order to better hold this diving festival, Li Yi personally made the medals, medals and trophies of the champion and runner-up, so as to start the golden signboard of Shengshi Huamen...... (To be continued.) )
