Chapter 70: Yang Fan sets sail

After more than ten minutes of self-inspection, Zero confirmed that the systems were normal, and then through detection, it was found that the ice around the hull had been broken and the ship could sail normally.

With the start of the motor, the tripping device is reset, and the spindle transmission device is connected, and the bottom propeller begins to rotate, slowly pushing the boat out of the dock.

After the Morningstar was completely out of the dock, Zero adjusted its direction and began to accelerate, and as the ship moved, the icebreaker in front of the bow broke the ice in front of it, allowing the Morningstar to pass smoothly.

As you move away from land, the ice in the sea becomes smaller and smaller, until it all turns into seawater.

Due to the tides, there is no freezing in the area far from the coastline as the sea swells, or there is only a thin layer of ice, and even people cannot stand.

After seeing that it had already come out, Lu Chen ordered Zero to adjust the direction, find the previous global ocean route map, and move at full speed towards the 1st Good Shelter.

When Lu Chen set sail, the Dragon Navy also got the news and contacted Gao Yun, who was sailing for a trial.

Gao Yun first sailed west through Southeast Asia, and after nearly two months of sailing, plus delays along the way, he was already close to the African continent at this time.

Seeing that Gao Yun had gone so far, he asked Gao Yun to continue the sea trial and execute it according to the original plan

The original plan was to pass a half-year sea trial and sail around the world, because of the low temperature, the Strait of Malacca and the Panama Canal have become unusable, and they can only go the farthest distance, but fortunately, they are all nuclear-powered warships, so there is no need to consider the fuel problem,

In the place close to Central Asia, 10 main battle tanks were also put down, and they went to two mining sites respectively to cooperate with the local dragon garrison.

Originally, the superiors were going to see if Gao Yun was far away, and if not, they would wait for Lu Chen to act together, but since they had already gone so far, they could only wait for the next batch of sea trial warships to travel, and it happened that Lu Chen was going to carry out further transformation in the shelter in Southeast Asia, so he could catch up.

——

In the quiet area of Annan River, in a port near the sea, more than 100 hexapod robots arrived here.

In Lu Chen's plan, Shelter No. 1 needs to occupy two places, one is a nearby shipyard and the other is a port.

The shipyard is for the early ship modification and later ship construction,

And the port is prepared for the delivery of supplies,

At this moment, in a port in the Ha Tinh area, 100 hexapod robots carrying a large amount of materials began to be transformed.

The original crane in the harbor was automatically retrofitted and then rebuilt and connected to the power supply so that it could operate in such cold conditions.

Then, with the cooperation of the submarine robot, the cylinders were fixed near the port, leaving a passage to extend to the far side of the ocean, and the width of this passage was enough for the aircraft carrier to pass through.

Then from the fast reactor nuclear power plant near shelter No. 1, a line was connected to supply electricity.

As Zero started the power, the cylinders in the sea began to emit heat, gradually melting the surrounding ice.

This ensures that the shipping lanes from the port to the depths of the ocean remain in normal condition.

And the dockyard on the other side does the same.

——

At this moment, Lu Chen's Morning Star has sailed out of the treasure island Haixia and entered the waters of the South China Sea.

Standing outside the bridge, the cold sea breeze blew through Lu Chen,

Looking at the outside temperature displayed by the armor mask has reached minus 60 degrees, even with the heating of the battle armor, Lu Chen still shivered unconsciously, not because his body was cold, but because he felt cold when he looked at the temperature.

Bai Xiao walked over at this time and stood next to Lu Chen,

"Mr. Lu, it's the first time I've stood on the bridge and looked at the scenery of the sea."

"Me too, not only for the first time standing on the bridge and looking at the scenery, but also for the first time going to sea on my own boat."

Lu Chen continued:

"I used to think that it would be good to have a yacht, I could drive the yacht in the sea, the blue sea and blue sky, I had nothing to do with the sea fishing, and about three or five friends came out to have a party.

It's a pity that I was busy with work later, and although I also earned a lot of money, I didn't have time to buy a yacht.

Then came the news of the meteorite's arrival, using his savings over the years, he built his own shelter under his old house, and until now, it feels quite difficult to think about it,"

"Yes, all living beings, for a few taels of silver, running around and busy all their lives"

"Hehe, I just didn't expect to find that when I was able to go to sea, the imaginary blue sea and blue sky were gone, and only the black water and gray sky remained."

Lu Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head,

"Mr. Lu doesn't need to be so frustrated, I heard that the country has begun to deal with volcanic ash, and it is said that there has been a big receipt,"

"Oh, I don't believe this news coming out of other people's mouths, but when it comes out of your mouth, it is estimated that eight or nine will not be far from ten."

Bai Xiao didn't refute it, after all, this is a fact, and unlike some confidential equipment, the global volcanic ash can't be concealed clearly, so it's better to be generous and show it directly.

The two chatted for a while, and then returned to the bridge.

Lu Chen took a look at the progress of the No. 1 shelter and found that in 3 days, the dock and steel port could be renovated.

And through the route, it was calculated that the Morning Star would need to travel a distance of 1,200 nautical miles, which is currently at a speed of 25 knots, and it will take 48 hours to arrive.

Stop and stop on the road, almost at that time to arrive at the location,

When the time comes, go to the port first to put down the RV, and then let Zero drive to the dock for transformation, and take Bai Xiao and the others to the No. 1 shelter to live first.

Then Lu Chen contacted Zero and asked him to build a collective dormitory on top of the No. 1 shelter, and Bai Xiao and the others would live here at that time.

——

On the other side, at the Modu Shipyard, the latest batch of renovated warships is about to be delivered.

This batch of warships has two destroyers, 055/052, 901 integrated supply ships, and 071 landing ships, a total of four ships.

After all the personnel arrived, they began to conduct sea trials in nearby waters, including Southeast Asia, Australia, Pacific waters, etc.

At this moment, Ding Haifeng, the commander of this sea trial fleet, received an order from his superiors to protect Lu Chen and conduct sea trials.

After learning about Lu Chen's contribution, he also felt that such a treasure should be well protected, but Ding Haifeng felt that it was a little Cao Dan that you were not in the country and took it well, what are you doing everywhere.

However, soldiers must obey orders, and since the superiors have already said it, then they should do their best to protect it.

After informing everyone to board the ship and preparing to leave, Ding Haifeng also embarked on the Nanchang.

A day later, the fleet formation was completed, and a day of offshore testing began, and after the test was completed, it began to go to Lu Chen's side.

——

Three days later, the Morning Star arrived at the port near Ha Jing, Bai Xiao and the others boarded the RV with Lu Chen, and the team members waited in the cargo compartment.

After Tong Li drove the RV down, on the screen of the cab, a route was marked, and you can reach Shelter 1 along this route.

After Lu Chen and the others set off, the Morning Star also left the port and went to the nearby Chuanwu for transformation.

An hour later, Lu Chen and the others arrived at the No. 1 shelter, parked the car next to the shelter, and the group got out of the car.

Lu Chen pointed to the dormitory on the edge of the shelter? Bai Xiao said: "Team Leader Bai, the conditions here are simple, so I can only live here for the time being, I will take it with me in the shelter below, remember to contact me if you need anything." ”

Bai Xiao also nodded, and then said, "Mr. Lu, how long do we need to wait here?" ”

"About three or four days, I need to install some detection equipment on the Morningstar, and I need to put some supplies on it."

"Okay, Mr. Lu, why don't I take a break on this line."

After speaking, Bai Xiao began to direct the team members to enter the dormitory to rest, and Lu Chen also entered the shelter, and the entire shelter fell into silence.

After Lu Chen entered the shelter, he asked Zero to report on the situation of the 1 good shelter

"Sir, after this period of development, the current Shixi mine in the Ha Tinh area can refine 500 tons of iron ingots per day, which is at present, and the output of titanium ore has also increased, and 10 tons of pure titanium can be obtained after purification.

In addition, some manufacturing facilities have been built in the shelter, and production lines such as unmanned transport aircraft and robots have been completed.

As long as the raw materials are sufficient, the robot production line can produce 100 hexapod robots or 50 submarine robots per day.

The UAV production line is capable of producing an unmanned transport aircraft per day,

In addition, our planting base has been built and is ready for use, and the salt mine located by the sea has been put into operation, with a daily production capacity of 1,000 people."

"Well, how many deposits have been found on the seabed"

"After the detection of submarine prospecting robots, the mineral deposits that have been discovered mainly include oil and gas resources, manganese nodules, etc.

At present, the exploration of the Annam area has been completed and is being explored in the Indonesian area. ”

"Well, it seems that the development here is okay, I am much more relieved to have you look at it, and build a livestock breeding base, and after it is built, all the chickens in the No. 0 shelter will be transported here, and there are some rice seeds in my RV, which will be cultivated and planted at the planting base.

By the way, have you calculated the yield of the planting base here? ”

"Sir, this has been calculated, rice as an example, if the planting base is fully utilized, you can achieve three crops a year, each time the yield can reach 2 tons of rice, after threshing, you can get about 1.4 tons of rice,"

Lu Chen nodded, this data is enough for his own use, plus the livestock breeding in the back, the rice husk and some broken rice can be mixed together to feed the pigs.

"By the way, take the snow from the No. 0 shelter, I estimate that I will go to sea for about two or three months this time, let's take it with me, and prepare at least 100 unmanned transport aircraft and materials that can build at least 3 airstrips, this time I am expected to have a lot of gains from going to sea, so be prepared first"

"Yes sir!"

Lu Chen looked at it and saw that there was nothing to adjust for the time being, and he was going to rest first, and talk about other things tomorrow.
