"Chief, but ...... But it's still early for the ship to arrive. Hong'er chased her out of the office, she quickly took off her down jacket from the outer hanger and put it on her body, and she still had a white fluffy earmuff on her ear.

After all, it is already the middle of January, the weather by the sea is already very cold, and there was even a lot of snow a few days ago, which is unimaginable if it is left in modern times, because the modern Fuzhou City has not snowed for decades, and now Fujian generally only sees light snow in the winter in northwest Fujian.

Huang Shi remembers that the first snow he saw in his life was when he went to Beijing on a business trip a few years ago, when the first snow in Beijing after the beginning of winter gave him a deep impression, in addition to the magnificence of the snow, it also made his ears suffer from frostbite in winter.

The wharf is not far from the office of Huangshi, after all, this Dongluo Island itself is just a small island, after leaving the office, Huangshi turned left and right to come to the gate of the wall, out of the gate and then walk 100 meters forward is the floating wharf.

The guards on duty at the door saw that Chief Huang had come out, and hurriedly saluted and shouted in unison, "Hello chief." ”

Huang Shi quickly saluted them back, if in the past he would have stopped to talk to them about life, work, and ideals and social transformation, but today he didn't have the time.

Therefore, the two soldiers beside the gate glanced at each other in surprise, because in their eyes, in addition to being approachable, the original Chief Huang had always spoken and acted in a calm and peaceful manner, not in a hurry, not in a hurry, not in a panic, like today, his face was full of excitement and a look of wanting to fly over.

When Huangshi arrived at the pier and looked into the distance, not to say that the hull of the "Hope" was not visible, that is, he couldn't even see the mast, he couldn't help muttering to himself, "It looks like it's really early!" ”

Soon Hong'er stood beside him, Chen Youxin, Su Er and An Ruyi also appeared, this is Hong'er reminded them through the walkie-talkie, because if the situation is normal, this time there will be a large number of "immigrants" who will come with the ship, from the elderly to children Nearly 100 people, and Chen Youxin They are here to do the registration of personnel files, the health and epidemic prevention inspection of new arrivals, the unified arrangement of food and accommodation, and the distribution and registration of some daily necessities.

Several of them stood by the harbor, quietly looking at the sea level in the distance, and did not speak, they all watched quietly with Huangshi.

After standing for more than ten minutes, Huang Shi couldn't bear it anymore, he looked at both sides with a smile, and said, "It's hard to wait for this time, I'll go to the top of the mountain to have a look first." ”

After speaking, without waiting for the others to react, he threw off his arms and hurriedly walked to the top of the "Buzhou Mountain".

In the watchtower more than ten meters high on the top of the mountain, that is, in the tall security guard box, the soldiers on duty saw that the chief had come to inspect, and hurriedly came over to salute.

After returning the salute, Huang Shi asked eagerly, "Are you sure it's the 'Hope'?" ”

The soldiers gave Huangshi an answer with great certainty, just like the news reported to Hong'er, the sailing ship coming from afar was the "Hope", the ship's wide sails, towering masts, and the fiery and bright August 1st naval flag, which ship would it be if it was not the "Hope"!

"Okay, I'll take a look." Yellowstone nodded, walked around one of the warriors, and walked to the high-powered telescope in the middle of the room.

……

The watchtower at the top of this hill is the equivalent of an ancient beacon tower. The beacon tower is also called the beacon in ancient times, commonly known as the beacon, the chimney, the pier, it is called the beacon, the beacon, the pavilion in the Han Dynasty, it was called the beacon in the Tang and Song dynasties, and the word "beacon" is also extended to the beacon tower, to the Ming Dynasty it is generally called the chimney or pier, the Ming Dynasty pier in the northwest, the big one also has the function of resisting the enemy, the small one only has the effect of watching into the distance, and there is no function of igniting the beacon.

The beacon tower is a kind of high platform used to ignite fireworks to transmit important news, it is an important military defense and military intelligence alarm measure in ancient times, it is built to prevent the enemy from invading, when there is an enemy situation, it will light the beacon smoke during the day, and light the flint fire at night, and alarm the parties and superiors with visible smoke and light, so that the station is connected, and the message is transmitted, which is the oldest but effective way of message transmission.

Therefore, Huangshi also took great pains to equip this "beacon tower" with a lot of modern equipment, which was hundreds of years more advanced than the "beacon tower" of the Ming Dynasty in this period, such as telescopes, walkie-talkies, searchlights, night vision devices, etc.

The "beacon tower" of the Ming Dynasty is generally about 10 miles away from each other in the nine-sided area of the northern border, but there are also about 5 miles away. Their internal personnel structure and weapons are recorded in the inscription of the "Shengouer Dun Stele" of the same period, "There are five dun soldiers: Dingkou's wife Wang, Ding Hai's wife Liu, Li Liang's wife Tao, Liu Tong's wife Dong, and Ma's famous wife Shi." Firearms: one hook-headed cannon, one line gun, full gunpowder line. Equipment: A bow, a knife, 30 arrows, a military flag, a pair of bells, a soft ladder, 5 firewood, 5 cigarette soap, and 20 stones. Furniture: five pots, five jars, ten bowls, ten pairs of chopsticks, all chicken and dog dung. ”

The telescope is one of the most important equipment in the "beacon tower" now, and it has two types. One is a hand-held military telescope, which is usually hung around the neck of a soldier on duty to observe the situation around the island at close range; The other is a high-powered desktop telescope, which is generally used by another soldier to observe the distant horizon in 360 degrees, and discover the enemy situation in advance at the largest distance, only in this way can preparations be made against the enemy.

Hand-held telescopes have a standard optimal multiples range, that is, 7, 8, 10 times, all handheld regular products, are in this range, among them, the most commonly used in the military is 7 times and 8 times. In other words, if you use a hand-held telescope to look at a person at 1,000 meters, you are looking closer to a distance of about 100 to 120 meters. It is conceivable that at a distance of 100 to 120 meters, it is impossible to see the specific details of a person's face at all, and you can only roughly see whether the target is male or female.

And now this kind of high-powered desktop telescope with tripod support, it is a kind of viewing scope, theoretically there is a multiple of 50 times, which is equivalent to narrowing the distance from 1000 meters to a range of 20 meters, starting from this range, in order to really observe a person's face carefully, and can see a person's face clearly with the naked eye.

However, in modern society, 60 magnification of ground-based telescopes is the limit, and this is still when the air is clean and windless, and if the urban air is not good, 40 times is already very blurry. But in the 16th century, there was no industrial pollution and no car exhaust, so the air quality here was naturally excellent, better than the best air quality in the world 500 years later.

……

Today's weather is good, although it snowed yesterday, but today the sun is shining. The weather was a little cold, there was not a single cloud in the sky, and the sun was shining directly on the sea.

Yellowstone held the telescope and looked in the direction of the soldiers' fingers.

I saw the golden sunlight sprinkled on the sea, the sea surface sparkling, a soybean-sized sailboat in the mirror tube it is riding the wind and waves, and then carefully observe its mast is hung with a red naval flag, so eye-catching, so public.

"Hehehe." Huang Shi laughed happily a few times, and said a few more times in a row, "Good, good, good." ”

The two soldiers standing beside him saw the chief smiling, and they didn't know what he was talking about, but after a while, they saw the chief put down the binoculars, raised his head and stood up straight, slowly turned around and looked at them with a smile, knowing that the chief was about to speak, so he quickly stood upright, and took out a small notebook and pen from their respective pockets.

Huang Shi smiled and asked about their work and life as usual, and after painting a picture of a better life in the future, he changed the conversation and talked about the important role of this mountaintop lookout post, hoping that they could give full play to their subjective initiative and so on.

These words are all clichés, but the soldiers are still holding a small notebook, and the pen is "brushing" on it and recording it constantly, but Huang Shi is standing upright when he speaks, he thinks that if the leader's speech is like that golden leader, it is not very good in terms of image, and it is also disrespectful to others.

After seven or eight minutes of speaking, Huang Shi stopped his political and ideological work, and ordered the two soldiers to continue their duty lookout mission, while he himself began to check the LED lighting equipment of the watchtower.

The watchtower had installed several 100-watt LED lights a few days ago, which were installed on top of the watchtower, and Yellowstone was going to use the watchtower as a temporary lighthouse.

The lighthouse is a kind of tower-shaped luminous navigation beacon built near the key part of the waterway, which is a fixed navigation beacon used to guide ships to navigate or indicate the danger zone and indicate how far the ship is from the shore. Modern large lighthouse structures have good living and communication facilities for managers to live in, but there are also important lighthouses that are left unguarded. Set different colors of lights and different types of fixed lights or flashes according to different needs. The range of the light is generally 15 to 25 nautical miles.

Earlier, the indicator lights on the lighthouse were generally made of 400 watt metal halide lamps, which have two kinds of lights, one is quartz metal halide lamp, and its arc tube blister is made of quartz, and the other is a ceramic metal halide lamp, and its arc tube blister is made of translucent alumina ceramic. Metal halide lamp is one of the best electric light sources in the world, it has the characteristics of high luminous efficiency (65 to 140lm/w), long life (5000 to 20000 hours), good color rendering (Ra65 to 95), compact structure and stable performance.
