Today's weather is sunny and the sea in the South China Sea is calm. Of course, this is only relatively.

At this time, 80 places below the surface of the water, a black giant is swimming quickly in the water. From time to time, some dormant fish are startled.

At this time, ten days had passed since the voyage.

In the past ten days, the 401 boat has completed the test of the maximum surface and underwater speed, the main engine parking and restarting, and the auxiliary engine driving and propulsion.

And Chen Ming has gained a lot in these ten days. In addition to sorting out the ship's logbook every night and reporting to the base, a lot of spare time was spent in the combat command cabin.

Looking at Captain Wang's command, the cabins worked closely together. While envious in his heart, he also took the notebook he had prepared earlier and recorded everything that he felt was beneficial to him. In this process, the heads of various departments, professional squad leaders and Captain Wang answered Chen Ming's questions.

In addition to the care of the chief of staff, they are also really in love with this young man now.

Every night before going to bed, Chen Ming does two things.

Bring your own violin and go to each cabin to play a song to the officers and soldiers on duty. After returning to the cabin, the sailors who were about to rest were also waiting for Chen Ming's performance.

Lying on a small bed at night, swaying slightly with the lapping of the waves, and falling asleep with a melodious lullaby makes the otherwise hard and boring journey comfortable. The fatigue of the day quickly dissipated.

After doing this, Chen Ming will repeatedly practice crossing at the door of the cabin alone before lying back on his bed.

If someone asks Chen Ming now where he can see the scenery of the four seasons all year round, Chen Ming will not hesitate to tell him that he is on a submarine.

From the cold winter in the torpedo compartment at the front of the boat, to the warm spring in the command cabin, and then to the scorching heat in the main engine room. If you see submariners, there are those wearing cotton coats, those who are shirtless and sweating profusely, and those who are wearing spring and autumn training uniforms with a leisurely face. Don't be surprised, this is how submariners dress up every day.

"Xiao Chen is here, the big guy is chirping."

Political commissar Lin Zhen saw Chen Ming coming in wearing a cotton coat and carrying a piano, and said to everyone in the command cabin.

Under the leadership of Captain Wang, the officers and men applauded. The pedestrian music radio station, which was punctual every night, has now become something they look forward to every day.

Chen Ming looked at the sonar squad leader, and after getting a reply confirming that he could play, he set up the piano.

Although this voyage was not even a combat-ready cruise, it was only an experimental voyage, and the sailing routes were all within the territorial waters of the state. But the sonar room, as the ears and eyes of the submarine, has the highest priority throughout the boat. Only after getting the sonar room and no abnormal reply will Chen Ming start his performance. At the same time, his eyes looked at the door of the sonar room, and if there was a palm stretched out, Chen Ming would immediately stop what he was doing.

"Xiao Chen, your level is really good. But don't blame me for Lao Lin's disobedience. Your violin is so elegant that the soldiers have listened to it for ten days, and it is estimated that few of them can understand it. Why don't you sing a song to your comrades, what do you think? ”

After Chen Ming finished playing, Lin Zhen spoke.

This young man is a good man. In general, when the submarine sails for ten days, the fighters will more or less have some anxiety, agitation. Even the old submariners are no exception, but they can control it relatively well. Now, however, the warriors are in the same state as they had sailed for three days in the past, and they were full of energy. But it's a bit out of the crowd. He couldn't help but give his opinion.

His words also aroused unanimous applause from the sailors of all positions.

Chen Ming saw the reaction of his comrades-in-arms for a moment, and then smiled gratefully at Political Commissar Lin.

"Well, I'm taking it for granted. Whatever song my comrades-in-arms want to hear, I will sing. ”

"Don't say that, it's our 401 boat, thank you. I can't hear any other boat. ”

Captain Wang said with a smile, he and the political commissar have different division of labor and different views. He is optimistic about Chen Ming because as a newcomer to submarines, he can make the material deployment in an orderly manner, and at the same time, he can humbly ask the heads of various departments for professional skills. It's a good seedling.

Listen to the name of the song reported by the comrades-in-arms in your ears. Most of the sailors were young men, and they mostly sang about love. This is also in line with the yearning of young men for love in this conservative era.

It's just that Captain Wang's face is not so good-looking.

"A group of rabbit cubs, are you thinking about women here when your hair grows? We soldiers have to pick some patriotic songs. ”

"Oh, old Wang, you didn't come from a young age. Let's loosen when it should be loose, and tighten when it should be tight. At this time, let the brothers listen to what they want to hear. Come, Chen Ming, what song you sing, choose for yourself. Don't listen to Lao Wang. ”

Lin Zhen looked at the soldiers' somewhat wilted expressions and patted Wang Changming. He is engaged in political work, and he knows and understands better than Wang Changming what the current soldiers are thinking.

"Well, I'll sing a song I wrote myself, Sailor. As a gift for tomorrow's August 1st Army Day, it will be given to our sailors present. ”

Chen Ming saw people sitting in the boat, and the ball came up from the side. In a hurry, I thought of Zheng Zhihua's "Sailor" in my previous life. Whether it is suitable for the occasion or the idea, it is not bad.

After the singing, the comrades-in-arms applauded and were full of excitement. This song is the best gift they received on the eve of August 1st Army Day. A song made for them. College students are cows.

"The song was good, we loved it. However, I still have to say, if any rabbit cub dares to bring wine to the boat to hypnotize himself, Lao Tzu will immediately let you sleep in the sea! ”

Captain Wang also applauded and said. It's just that his words, his comrades-in-arms know that he is joking.

They are all veterans, and the submarine is afraid of a clear heart. They won't do anything that violates discipline.

Waving goodbye to his comrades in the command cabin, taking off his coat and hanging it at the door of the torpedo compartment, Chen Ming continued to walk to the next cabin.

As you pass by the lodging cabin, put your violin in the case and put it away. Chen Ming walked to the cabin at the back of the boat.

"Hey, old platoon, why didn't you bring your baby today?"

Li Siming saw Chen Ming coming empty-handed today and quipped. Although he didn't understand anything Chen Mingla was talking about, it sounded pretty good, on this boring submarine, something is better than nothing.

People can't be too greedy, some are good to listen to, what more bicycles?

"I didn't play the piano today, I wrote a song. As a gift for Army Day tomorrow, sing it to the big guys. ”

"Hehe, that's a good feeling."

The next day, August 1, 2000, Army Day. On the 401 boat, with the approval of political commissar Lin Zhen and the organization and leadership of Chen Ming, a chess and poker competition of "Congratulations to the motherland and the strong army, I celebrate with my comrades-in-arms" was launched.

As a prize for the competition, Chen Ming took out the instant noodle cola that had been prepared for a long time. This made everyone excited, and people who eat canned food every day are going to be stupid.

The strong industrial flavor of instant noodles is comparable to a long drought for them at this time.

The sound of screaming even overwhelmed Captain Wang's complaint of dissatisfaction with the smell of instant noodles in the boat.

In the following days, Chen Ming came up with a lot of new songs. Since then, the sailing life of the 401 boat has added another activity called "learning to sing with college students".

Chen Ming has also become a well-deserved submarine star on the 401 boat.
