Chapter 117: Berthing
"It's not far off. At least this time the liberation ship sent a few pairs of beach chairs, although there is no sand yet, wouldn't it be great to have a drink with this sea breeze? β
"Excellent, your sister." Wu Ran pointed to the beach outside the dock and complained, "That's it? Do you still call for a beach chair? To smell the 'fresh' fishy smell of the tidal flats? β
"There's going to be a coastal park there soon," Cheng Hui said as if it already existed there, "there's still a beach to the west, and entertainment here in Kamla can't always rely on steel ambition and StarCraft......"
"The natives can't play yet." Wu Ran wanted to say the classic sentence "Go out to play and find that it's better to face the computer at home", but after thinking about it, this inevitably ruined today's atmosphere, and finally stuffed it in his throat without saying it.
"Don't talk about it." Cheng Hui watched the crane of the liberation ship lower the gangway, and hurriedly straightened the collar. "Here comes your guest. There's still a ceremony to take place later, so I'll go. β
"Go ahead." Wu Ran still sat stillβhe had been ordered to keep the entire dock safe. After all, the chaotic party still has a last root, and it is absolutely impossible to relax its vigilance.
The white strips of cloth under the handrails on both sides of the gangway read in two languages: "Welcome to the Minsheng", and people on the pier can see clearly without binoculars. The emblem of the ship, which is a mixture of Elta and Chinese, is also marked on the chimney, which is particularly eye-catching
The first batch of liberation wheels to be launched used in the Elta language were neologisms coined from Chinese. The 5,000-ton bulk carrier "Minsheng" was naturally not named after words such as "liberation", "era", "science", "progress", etc., but was named "Minsheng" in line with its identity as transporting passengers and cargo along the Elta coastal route.
Facing the people who came down from the gangway, Cheng Hui naturally straightened up her waist and stepped forward to shake hands one by one, and the reporters around her also followed to occupy the favorable terrain and shoot fiercely.
"Oh my God, that thing is moving!"
Of course, the Kamra people gathered here did not care what their leaders were exchanging while they were walking side by side. But they could see the folded crane on the ship as it stretched out little by little.
Kamla Port did not have cranes or cranes, and loading and unloading depended on the shoulders of workers. However, in order to solve this problem, the liberation wheel is designed to have the cabin space and deck position where the crane is installed. Although this will sacrifice the capacity of the cargo and the space in the cabin, you can't let the workers carry the pallets and containers, right?
The vast majority of the transportation of the liberation ship is one-way. At this moment, the container hanging under the taut steel cable is painted with an all-white background, and the big red letters on it "Kamla City Regular Route Commemorative Box" are very eye-catching. Everyone in the harbor looked at the slight strange sounding tightrope, looking at it with concern and horror.
"How could such a thin black rope be hoisted from such a large iron box?"
"That's wooden! How did you know it was made of iron? Besides, the magic of the people of another world is so powerful...... Look, it's moving! β
"Are you stupid, where will there be rust in the corners of the wood?" The young man who retorted to him shoved back the other's words as he watched as the waving boom gradually pulled the steel cable higher.
It's normal for the cable to squeak and squeak and make some noises. But outside the cordon, most of the onlookers screamed - it was common sense that the sound of the rope would most likely mean breaking.
"Quiet!" The policeman in charge of order and Wu Ran looked at each other slightly, and then raised a loudspeaker and shouted at the crowd.
The steel cable did not break as expected, and the white container was still safely hoisted to the pre-prepared position of the dock.
What happened? The citizens of Kamla City did not know, they could only see the people in the berths of the pier clapping, hugging and cheering. Why are they so excited? Could it be that there is something very important in the chest, or that there will be an emperor of the Elta Empire coming out of it?
The door of the container was opened, and someone walked inside. Not long after, two small cars with forks in front of them drove out of the box and drove outside the yellow line, and several Chinese who looked like craftsmen were busy assembling the forks in front of the heightened cars.
In the second container, a crane was used, and they quickly coordinated with each other to deliver the containers from the loading and unloading area within the yellow line to the storage yard not far away.
"If it is transferred like this, I don't know how many times faster it is than people carrying it on their shoulders!" In a small building with a good location next to the port, Krona took the "telescope" that Cheng Huituo borrowed for him, and looked intently at the iron boxes piled up in the stacking yard and said.
This is the VIP seat arranged by Cheng Hui for him and "Talios", although the distance is a little farther, but the eyesight problem can be completely compensated with a telescope. This can be regarded as one of the rewards given to him by Cheng Hui.
"It's surprising that people from other worlds have reached such a large amount of supplies." Neuesas was too lazy to count how many crates had "conjured" out of the belly of the huge iron ship, but began to carefully examine every detail of the ship.
He knew very well that every time the people of the other world dropped a machine, material, or other creation of Kamla Harbor, the more and more inevitably Kamla City moved in the direction of the people of the other world, which is what they called "progress".
If this continues, Kamla Harbor will soon be able to trample under the feet with contempt for the Bilunar Church, which had not taken them seriously before.
Just imagine, if the people on the ship were Eltas, and outside the barbed wire fence of the blockade line, it was the people of the Church of the Two Moons, or even the gods of the world, Neuesas, who wished that this was the port of the Church of the Two Moons, and it would be enough to bear such a shame alone!
Divine powers, immortal powers, and secret magic, these powers were once the power that could subvert a nation. But now Neaesas understands that this power is nothing in the face of the overwhelming force of the entire people of a country from across the portal - not to mention the total defeat of the Bilunar Church in the war, and the Chinese goods in the middle and upper echelons of the Bilunar Church, it is just a ship, a port, and even a banquet, a town hall, the Bilunar Church and China, and the New Elta Empire, you can see at a glance!
The more stubborn and unwilling the Church of the Two Moons is, the more the hammer made by China will be swung above their heads by the people of Elta with greater force, and both the ordinary people who are attached to the present gods and the present gods themselves will be crushed......
A sense of crisis stronger than ever before came from the ship's position, and the winter sea breeze blew, forcing Noy Esas back a small step back. He had a premonition that this was the last chance for the Church of the Two Moons, and now it seemed that it was the case - if this ship was used for military purposes, a single transfer of troops would probably be able to overturn the Church of the Two Moons.
"What's the matter, Mr. Talleyos, are you not feeling well?" The sensitive Crona hurriedly offered his courtesy.
Neuesas shook his head and said, "No, I've been dizzy after looking at this 'telescope' for a long time." Although this thing can be seen more clearly and freely than magic from a distance, it is not used to it for the first time. β
"We ordinary people don't pay so much attention to it." Krona picked up the binoculars and continued to look at every corner of what he thought was strange, "We don't have magic, and neither do people from other worlds, so I think this thing is quite suitable for me." It doesn't look strange or fancy, but why can it see so far away? β
Mankind may not always realize that this "why" is the driving force behind mankind's progress from the Stone Age to the present day...... Wu Ran, who was far away in the port, said to himself secretly. The headphones in his ears weren't songs or radios, but bugging devices installed next to them.
To protect "Talios" is to monitor him in an all-round way, to listen to him. He took this command to the letter, and proceeded to act on it step by step. In the cabin where Talios, where Neuesas will live, he also commissioned the ship's onboard technicians to prepare covert cameras and monitors to ensure that there are no blind spots.
As long as he boarded the ship, the affairs of Kamla had nothing to do with him - Wu Ran closed his eyes lightly and began to reminisce about the two months here: from the first landing in Kamla Port on a bumpy wooden boat, to the difficult recruitment of the first police officer with a group of backbones, to the bittersweet and sweet two-week short training, and then to the first flash of firefighting and counter-chaos operations......
It's really reluctant to give up these and open a new map to brush up on prestige. Who doesn't recognize this "dirty sheriff" who will also go to the street with a saber and fierce eyes to catch thieves and wave to the shopkeeper in Kamra?
"Forget it, it is best to be worthy of the reputation of the Chinese." Wu Ran muttered to himself for no reason. By the time the shift changes tonight, it is natural that a successor he doesn't know will arrive at the Public Security Bureau and sign everything here. "My successor, don't fall into the face of me and the motherland, and make this Kamra even better than when I left!"
It took a whole day for the Minsheng waterline to finally return from full load to light load. At this time, the yard is already full of goods, waiting to be opened and unsealed, ready to be converted into containers for other use, and there are even small port tugboats that are specially placed in the empty space of the yard and have not yet been unpacked with packaging racks.
Relying on the power supply of the Minsheng, the entire dock is as bright as day. Normally, there are only storage yards and tugboat berths, as well as electric lights next to the barbed wire, to protect the cargo and the general safety of the port, but the design is designed to provide power and lighting for ships arriving at the port.
It's just that at this moment, a figure who shouldn't have appeared here carried something in his hand and walked around the sentry box at the intersection and appeared on the dock.
