The conversation was light-hearted and pleasant, and although the topic was very heavy, the conversation was about the previous dynasties, but it was just a lesson from history.

Jinling-1 sailed north for three days at sea, then turned east and sailed into the deep sea of the Bay of Bengal.

It's a long voyage, and if the wind and waves are calm along the way, you can reach your next destination, Yangon, in about half a year.

This long-distance voyage was a test of the "Jinling No. 1" and an opportunity to give the warship a run-in period.

In particular, it is necessary to examine the newly introduced equipment - power generation equipment and telecommunications equipment.

The generator room was located on the second floor, and in order to test the effectiveness of power transmission, the battleship turned on all the lighting equipment, including signal lights and searchlights, during the night voyage.

There is a power distribution room next to the machine room on the second floor, and the electricity sent by the generator is raised to a high voltage of 10,000 volts through the transformer, and then the electricity is distributed to the ten transformers on the battleship through the power distribution room. The ten transformers are distributed on each floor, one at the bottom two floors, one at the front and one at the back, three at the top, and one at the front and back.

At high speed at night, all the lights are turned on at the same time, the engineers are responsible for monitoring the light of each lamp, and immediately record and replace any abnormalities, and the engineers also need to monitor the stability of the voltage, and at the same time test the working quality of the generator set under full load.

In addition, the transmission line is also an inspection, especially the high-voltage part of the line, the high-voltage part of the line safety requirements is the highest, not only the transmission safety requirements, but also to achieve shockproof, pressure-proof, explosion-proof, this part of the line is fully enclosed.

The inspection of communication equipment is also in progress, mainly to ensure that the telephone is unblocked, the horn sound is normal, and the inspection of communication equipment is much simpler.

During its 15-day voyage to the Bay of Bengal, the "Jinling No. 1" also conducted a live-fire exercise at sea, mainly to test the combat capability of the front and rear artillery; there were 10 huge guns on the front deck, which were capable of killing a European first-class sailing battleship in seconds, and 20 fast guns on the rear deck, which were capable of striking at European warship groups below the third-class level.

In the live-fire exercise, the gunners' coordination ability was exercised.

During this 15-day voyage, the endurance of the "Jinling-1" was also tested, and through this test, it was concluded that the Jinling-class battleship with full fuel and supplies could reach a endurance of 35 days.

If there were supply ships to replenish the Jinling-class battleships with fuel and food, their endurance at sea would be longer.

In the early morning of April 12, 1658, the "Jinling No. 1" arrived at Motama Bay in the Andaman Sea, which is still 24 nautical miles away from the port of Yangon.

"Chief, 'Jinling No. 1' will enter the port in the afternoon, what are your instructions?"

After the captain Wang Wenliang got in touch with the Yangon pier, he promptly used the phone to ask Gao Junshan for instructions.

Gao Junshan had just gotten up, and he pushed open the porthole to reveal the familiar scenery of Yangon, so he instructed Wang Wenliang: "After entering the port, take a short rest, and you can notify the sailors to go ashore." ”

The captain asked again, "How many days of leave, please?" ”

Gao Junshan thought for a moment and said, "Seven days, after seven days, all of them will return to the ship and stand by." ”

"Yes!"

Gao Junshan put down the phone and rang the call bell, and the guard officer Li Derong soon came to Gao Junshan's face.

Gao Junshan said: "The battleship is about to enter the port, you can prepare and go to the shore to rest for a few days!" ”

Li Derong asked: "Your Majesty, aren't you going ashore?" ”

"No, I haven't lived here enough!"

Li Derong said: "If the emperor doesn't go ashore, I won't go ashore, your safety is the most important thing." ”

Gao Junshan said: "You can rest assured that you can rest for a few days, I am safe on the ship." ”

"I'm not going."

Gao Junshan said: "In this way, you wait until tomorrow to go ashore, tonight the third regiment of the Sixth Marine Division will board the ship, I asked them to send a squad over, you should rest assured, right?" ”

Li Derong said reassuringly: "Thank you for the emperor's concern, we will go ashore to rest tomorrow." ”

Because there is a 10,000-ton cargo ship loading at the Yangon wharf, and the 10,000-ton freighter will not leave the port until the afternoon, the "Jinling No. 1" will not enter the port until the 10,000-ton freighter leaves the wharf.

This 10,000-ton ship was bound for London, and then from London to Chang'an in the Americas, and the 10,000-ton ship was loaded with all kinds of large machinery and equipment necessary for the construction of the Americas, and even the battleship on which the emperor was riding had to make way for this 10,000-ton ship, so the "Jinling No. 1" had to wait in the open sea.

Yangon Port is one of the largest ports in China in Indochina and a rice export port. Located on the east side of the Irrawaddy River Delta, on the left bank of the Yangon River, and 24 nautical miles south of Motama Bay in the Andaman Sea, 10,000-ton sea vessels can wait for the tide to enter the port. There are 13 berths and 2 berths for 10,000-ton ships, including 4 paddy berths.

After lunch, the 10,000-ton ship sailed out of Yangon Port, and when it passed by "Jinling No. 1", it sounded its whistle to show its gratitude to "Jinling No. 1".

"Jinling No. 1" also sounded the whistle and responded to the 10,000-ton ship, and then lifted anchor and entered the port.

As soon as the battleship stopped on the dock, Cao Minghao, who was waiting on the dock, couldn't wait to board the battleship.

Cao Minghao is the mayor of Yangon, the eldest son of Cao Bianjiao, a disciple of Chongwen, and a graduate of the Department of Architecture of the College of Engineering.

He got the news that the emperor would not go ashore, and hurried to the dock as soon as possible, and he wanted to get on the ship to persuade the emperor to go ashore to rest.

Cao Minghao came to the rest cabin of Gao Jun Mountain, and the first thing he said when he met him was: "Chief, the students have prepared a table of wine and food at the Yangon Hotel to catch the wind for the Chief, please go ashore with the students, the people of Yangon miss you very much!" ”

Gao Junshan said: "I have already decided not to go ashore, just live on the battleship, look at the environment here, how comfortable it is!" ”

Cao Minghao persuaded: "No matter how comfortable the battleship is, there is no comfort on the shore!" The student begged the mountain chief to come ashore and rest! ”

"I've made up my mind, so you don't need to persuade anymore." Gao Junshan pointed to the chair next to him, "Please sit down, I have a good dragon well here, since you are here, you can accompany me to drink tea and chat." ”

Cao Minghao sat down obediently.

Gao Junshan sat opposite him and said while making tea: "You see, I don't lack anything on the ship, and my life is very comfortable. ”

The two raised their teacups and took a small sip of tea.

Cao Minghao said: "Mountain Chief, if you don't go ashore, you can let the students accompany you on the ship, so that the students can also experience the comfortable life on the ship." ”

Gao Junshan said with a smile: "You are the mayor of a city, the local parent official, how can you leave your subjects behind and hide in the ship to enjoy comfort?" ”
