439 gifts

This farewell banquet was prepared for Xue Laixiang Huang Zhiyan and more than fifty of their men.

Accompanying the guests to dinner were the sailors on the Nicole and Pride who were not on duty.

Now, they have become very familiar with the two Xue Huang brothers and their buddies, they talk and laugh during the banquet, and from time to time there are some meat and vegetarian jokes circulating among the men, causing bursts of unbridled laughter.

In these days, the crew of the Nicole had a variety of exchanges with Xue Laixiang's guys with great interest, from language learning to daily life, from personal history to market culture, as well as various transactions and sea experiences, battles with pirates, etc., the topics covered extremely widely, and as the exchanges between the two sides deepened day by day, whether it was a traveler or a person of this era, after all, they were all seafarers who ran the sea, so there was already more and more common language between them......

At this moment, Gu Jin was tidying up his appearance in the captain's room, and he was about to go out, but in the dressing mirror, he saw Xu Zhi holding three cloth bags and walking in with his body open the hidden hatch.

So he turned around and nodded to Xu Zhi, pointed to the cloth bag in Xu Zhi's arms and asked:

"Xiao Xu, this is what you said was a gift to Brother Xue Laixiang?"

"Yes, Captain, after some discussion, everyone thought it would be better to consider practicality, so they gave them this chart, as well as two military high-powered telescopes......"

Xu Zhi said and put the cloth bag on the table, opened the cloth bag in it, took out a paper roll and handed it to Gu Jin.

"Uh, this chart is a contour line, Xue Laixiang Huang Zhiyan and they can already understand it?"

Gu Jin unfolded the drawings and glanced at them and asked.

"They have long been able to understand it, Xue Laixiang learned it when he helped Sanduo as a navigator on the Pride."

"Well, from Japan to Taiwan, the southeast coast of the mainland...... Philippines...... Vietnam...... Sulu...... Malacca...... Java...... Very well, this chart should be very helpful to them. ”

"That's oh, Beiguo told me that in the cockpit of the Pride at that time, Xue Laixiang had seen these charts, although he didn't say it, but his eyes like seeing treasure couldn't be described in words."

Xu Zhi looked at the unfolded map and responded with a smile next to him.

"This telescope...... It doesn't seem to be the same as what we usually use......"

"It's really different, the telescope we use is high-definition low-light, and there is a certain night vision function, this is ordinary, although it is also a high times military, but I heard Anna say that this is the inventory backlog of the US military during World War II.

At first, Anna brought us 300 of them, and then we got 200 high-definition Shimmer ...... at our request

Everyone thinks that in order to let these things accumulate in the warehouse, it is better to take out some of them and give them away.

In any case, in this era, the military binoculars used by the commander of the US military battalion in World War II are already an anti-heaven existence. ”

Xu Zhi explained as he picked up one of them and handed it to Captain Gu.

The latter took the telescope and turned around and looked out of the porthole for a while, and said:

"Well, if it's only used during the day, it's good, anyway, it's much stronger than the current Westerners' monoculars......"

"In fact, if this kind of telescope can see some things clearly at dusk or on a full moon night, of course, it is not as good as the high-definition shimmer that we all have."

"Alas, I don't know when we will be able to make our own telescopes with high-definition shimmer light......"

At this time, Gu Jin sighed.

"I heard Mr. Zhao say that it depends on the level of the glass industry."

"I remember there was a thermal imaging infrared telescope, and Anna was the ...... that gave us"

Gu Jin said as he continued to observe the window with the World War II military telescope.

"There are indeed a few, but that kind of telescope needs to be powered by batteries, and we can't make qualified small batteries, as if the electronic components of thermal imaging can't be made, so that thing can only be placed in a cave as a replica."

"Really? A few days before I left the Red Pier, I saw Xiao Fei and this kid making his own batteries. ”

"yes, I just heard that his battery is bigger than a microwave oven, and the voltage and current are so low that even the light bulb of the flashlight can't light up......"

"That's ......"

"But Xiao Fei is full of confidence, he plans to build a battery about the size of a refrigerator......"

"What's the use?"

"I heard Xiao Fei say, it's useful, if Mr. Zhao and they come up with a special glass called lead or something, that is, the kind of special glass used in infrared thermal imagers, he said that this battery can be used on the cannon, and a thermal imaging gun sight can be installed on the cannon on the ship."

"Huh? That's it! Sounds good, right? ”

Gu Jin put down the binoculars and glanced back at Xu Zhi.

"But listening to Xiao Fei, there is a transistor or something else, in short, Xiao Fei said, I have to think of another way to make that kind of electronic component.

In this way, our artillery has the ability to fight at night with infrared fire, in this era, almost all weapons are blind at night, if we really have night vision technology, even if it is very rudimentary, then our combat capability is not to throw off this era several streets? ”

Xu Zhi explained in detail to Captain Gu.

"Hmm...... In fact, the night vision ability of naval warfare is the most important. Listening to you say this, Xiao Fei is not very easy to achieve, it seems that this job of climbing the science and technology tree is not something that can be achieved overnight, and it is really urgent......"

Gu Jin said as he turned around and picked up a shirt to put on, and then said to Xu Zhi:

"Let's go to the banquet, don't let the family wait for a long time......"

At this time, on the first class board of the Nicole, looking at the figures of the women shuttling back and forth between the banquets and serving tea and food, Xue Laixiang and Huang Zhiyan suddenly felt a little nervous, just now Ren Kewei @ Hong and the two came over and muttered a few words to Xue Laixiang secretly and left, Xue Huang and Huang looked at each other and nodded, the two seemed to have made up their minds, and looked at the cabin door not far away.

They knew that Captain Gu would come over from there to attend their send-off banquet in a while.

Today is the last chance, and the two plan to worship Gu Jin as their father-in-law.

Obviously, this was also secretly encouraged and arranged by Ren Ke and Wei @ Hong, a few people from the Huotang Club.

The brothers knew that Xue Huang and the others were very grateful for being rescued and making their business come back, and they both felt that there was no harm in promoting this beautiful thing.

Of course, the members of the Huotang Club have another purpose, they think that Xue Laixiang and Huang Zhiyan worship Gu Jin as their father-in-law, and bind Xue Laixiang and his brothers to us with the dual bond of affection and interest, so that we will have allies, agents and foreign aid at least overseas.

At this point, we will no longer be alone.

After a while, Captain Gu really appeared at the door of the cabin, he smiled and walked towards the Xue Laixiang brothers, and Xue Huang and the others also quickly got up and walked a few steps forward.

Xue Huang and the others stepped forward in turn, held Gu Jin's outstretched hand with both hands, and shook it a few times - this kind of Australian etiquette The two brothers are now very proficient.

Then Gu Jin sat down, raised the small wine glass in front of him, and got up again, so everyone at the scene also got up.

"Now that the two brothers Xue and Huang are about to sail back home, I wish you all a smooth journey here! Do a roaring trade! ”

"Have a nice trip!"

"Business is booming!"

The crowd shouted and drank the liquor from their glasses.

After Xue Laixiang Huang Zhiyan dried the wine in the wine glass, the two of them took the wine bottle, walked to the edge of Gu Jin's seat, bowed down to fill Gu Jin's wine glass, and then suddenly knelt down in front of Gu Jin's seat, the two of them raised their glasses with both hands, and said loudly:

"Captain Gu is on top, Xue Laixiang and Huang Zhiyan have a reluctant invitation today! Coming to Xiangzhiyan every time he thinks about the great grace of the captain and Australia's resurrection, he can't repay it, and hopes that the captain will accept my brothers as righteous sons, and my brothers are willing to go to the soup for the captain, and serve the father for life! ”
