The Red Sea is connected to the Gulf of Aden from the Bab el-Mandeb Strait in the east to the Suez Canal in the west.

It serves as the growth boundary between the African plate and the Indian Ocean plate.

The Red Sea is expanding day by day.

In millions or millions of years, the Red Sea will be larger than the Mediterranean.

Standing on a ship that is constantly sailing northwest.

The shores of the Red Sea are mostly steep cliffs, and the coast is mostly reddish-brown coral reefs.

"Our port is almost there."

Zhang Yun stood at the bow of the ship, pointed to the front right, and said.

There is a large port that has just completed construction work.

This was also one of the results of negotiations between the two sides more than a year ago.

The domestic construction company is responsible for the construction of the whole process, and has the right to use the dual-use port for 99 years.

"It is said that this port uses the latest technology, but I don't know if it's true."

Han Zitao propped his hands on the railing, looking at the harbor looming in the sea fog in the distance.

"This, you ask me, I don't know."

Zhang Yun spread her hands and said that she and Han Zitao knew the same.

The port has been named King Abdullah Science and Technology Port.

As an important part of the King's Tech City project.

The future is certainly limitless.

In fact, the two of them don't know that this port has another meaning.

Before this port, all the ports in the country were state-owned.

But the port is a company that belongs to their country.

Although this company, it can be traced back to the Abdullah family's industry.

However, the information revealed has excited a lot of financial capital.

Maybe they will be able to enter the port operation of the camel country.

As for the 99-year lease to a foreign country, not too many people know about it.

This can only be discovered by going deep into the internal management of the port.

The leasing party is a newly established overseas investment company of the Rocket Research Institute.

It is used exclusively to manage overseas assets.

"Uncle Liang, we're about to arrive at the Science and Technology Port."

On the rocket transport freighter, Geng Bo was talking to China.

"Do you need me to meet with the senior staff of the Technoport?"

Geng Bo asked the institute for its opinion.

Although Geng Bo did not work in an overseas investment company, he was one of the senior leaders of the research institute.

It seemed understandable that he went to meet with the management of the port.

"The high-level leaders of the science and technology port are basically our people, and it's okay for you to say hello."

On the other end of the phone, after discussing for a few minutes, Liang Yi replied.

Except for a few managers and professional technicians, most of the employees are from foreign countries.

The interior of the port is largely unclear.

As for the local staff, it is very scarce, only a small part.

After all, they are born with a large number of benefits, and their enthusiasm for work is not very high.

"But don't forget, what is the focus of your work this time."

"Uncle Liang, I understand."

"The focus is still on the space city."

Geng Bo said in a somewhat frivolous tone.

King's Science and Technology Space City.

The most important part of the negotiation and cooperation project between the two sides.

It contains a large number of technology transfer and astronaut training content.

For this, the camels paid a great price.

It is to be able to train their own aerospace science and technology personnel.

In this world, there are many things that money cannot buy.

Cutting-edge technology is an important part of this.

Even if the camels have money, it is difficult to buy these technologies from the Western world.

"In terms of aerospace technology, we still have to keep our promises and help them establish a relatively complete training system."

Zhang Xingyang's calm voice came from the other end of the phone.

"But let's not forget that the technology we teach them is limited to the previous generation of rocket technology and the second generation of satellite platforms."

This generation of domestic rocket technology, that is, super-heavy liquid rocket technology, is already at the world's leading level.

Even if it is given to them, it is difficult for the camels to have that level of manufacturing to complete the manufacturing.

This involves laser powder superalloy processing, carbon-carbon composite materials, and ultra-large shell processing.

It's not a regional power, and it can be played.

This requires at least hundreds of thousands of technicians from different systems to be able to operate.

As for the satellite platform, it is also complementary to rocket technology.

The current fourth-generation large satellite platform in China is not suitable for the situation of camels.

These large satellite platforms basically weigh in tons.

For the camels who are still poor and white, if they are forced to be stuffed, they will be eaten to death.

"I know that I will first understand their specific situation before building a personnel training system."

Geng Bo also replied more seriously.

Although before coming, the other party had already given some information about the personnel in aerospace science and technology.

But what the real level is is still clear after seeing it with your own eyes.

Geng Bo came over this time, in addition to bringing a Changsanyi Type A rocket.

A large technical team was also brought in.

It can independently complete the hoisting and launching of rockets without relying on camel personnel.

Of course, the launch work still requires a lot of technical coordination in China.

Ground monitoring stations, space communication satellites.

These elements that the camels do not have, can only be coordinated domestically.

After completing his daily communication with China, Geng Bo hung up the phone.

"How long do we have to get to Hong Kong?"

Geng Bo walked into the wheelhouse and asked the captain.

"It's less than 20 nautical miles away, and it's expected to be in an hour."

The captain said, looking at the harbor not far away.

At this time, the fog on the sea surface has slowly dissipated.

You can clearly see many buildings in the harbor, as well as the towering lighthouse.

"When we arrive, the escort group will leave, and they have communicated with us not long ago."

At this time, the captain said a message that had just come from Geng Bo on the phone.

Geng Bo nodded, signaling that he understood.

When the escort formation arrives at the science and technology port, it can actually stop for replenishment.

Because the port itself is dual-use.

In the negotiations, there is an important reason to get to this port.

It's to be able to have a supply point in this area.

"They're supposed to send the pirates to the local provisional government, right?"

Geng Bo asked the captain who had been walking this channel for many years.

He did not particularly know what was going on at sea.

"That's how it should be."

The captain thought for a moment and said:

"Although we say that we have the authority to fight pirates, we do not have the power to conduct trials, and there are only two choices."

"The first one is to give them a dinghy and let them go."

"The second is to hand it over to the local provisional government."

Geng Bo touched his chin: "It doesn't sound like the first option is very good, isn't that just to let the tiger return to the mountain?"

The second option is a bit better? ”

The captain shook his head and said, "Actually, the first option is more cruel to pirates.

How far can a dinghy go?

If you put them in the sea far from the coastline.

What happened to them."

What happened to the end, the captain did not say directly.

But anyone could have imagined.

In the world's most salinous sea, there is no food or water source.

Hundreds of miles away from the coast, in an unpowered dinghy.

can only be sunburned to death little by little.

Even, when Geng Bo thought about it deeply, he could think of even more cruel scenes.

Above the dinghy, there was no food or water.

Except for the people themselves.

Cannibalism seems to have a considerable historical tradition in this area.

He shook his head and threw the bloody images out of his head.

"The port has informed us that we are ready to enter the port."

The captain received a message from the port.

Although their freighters are not very large freighters or oil tankers.

But because of the cargo on the ship, it was very important for the camels.

So the level of attention is very high.

Although in the sea outside the port, there are already several large ships waiting.

However, they were still prepared to enter the port as soon as they arrived.

"Goodbye!"

A group of people on the freighter waved goodbye to the escorting warship on the deck.

Although we couldn't see each other's faces clearly, everyone could imagine it.

"Walking, preparing to hand over these people to their provisional government."

Zhang Yun said after waving goodbye.

The sunspots that survived on the two assault boats were crushed in the lower cabins at this time.

After handing them over to the local government.

They face life sentences or even the death penalty.

Zhang Yun could think of the first pirates who began to be caught as an escort.

The local provisional government will definitely strike hard.

In this way, it shows the international community that it attaches great importance to the fight against piracy.

After all, the local economy at this time is largely dependent on blood transfusions from various countries in the world.

"Next time, I'd like to go inside the port."

Han Zitao said reluctantly.

As the first port in the country to be here, he really wanted to go in and see it.

"In the future, I will have time to watch, and I will finish my business first."

Zhang Yun waved his hand and said.

Two of the other three ships in the escort formation were already heading for the Suez Canal.

The only oil tanker was waiting in the sea outside the science and technology port.

At present, the largest cargo transshipment in the science and technology port is crude oil.

Camel family, lack of everything.

Lack of oases, lack of water.

But there is no shortage of crude oil.

After the tanker is loaded with crude oil from the science and technology port, it will follow the road from which it came, and return to China.

The oversized gantry crane on the port will lift the rocket parts placed in the large cargo box steadily.

It is then placed on top of the transshipment site.

There, there are several large trucks, waiting to transport these goods to the Aerospace Science and Technology City.

During the transshipment process, Geng Bo took the time to meet with the port management.

It brought them condolences from the country.

The transshipment went smoothly and there were no mistakes.

All the operators are veterans from China.

"You can get ready to go to the Sky City."

Geng Bo said after carefully inspecting the condition of the truck.

The space city was not built on the shores of the Red Sea.

Rather, it is in an inland desert area 20 kilometers away from the science and technology port.

Follow the newly built highway towards the King Science and Technology Space City in the north.

Most of the facilities in the Sky City come from professional construction teams in China.

Prior to this, they had built the most advanced Wenchang launch center in China.

He has a lot of experience in the field of construction of cosmodromes.

In the space city, the personnel in charge of the reception of the camel side have been waiting for a long time.

As soon as Geng Bo arrived, he greeted him.

"Welcome, my friend from afar!"

Dressed in a white robe and turban, Adul embraced Geng Bo very warmly.

Geng Bo, who had just come to the Space City, also smiled and finished introducing each other to each other.

After the introduction, I found out.

The name suffix of Abdullah is Abdullah.

Geng Bo was a little surprised, he didn't expect that any random person who came was a member of the royal family.

And judging from the other party's conversation, Aduler seems to be still a scientific researcher.

"We've been waiting for you for a long time."

Adul said as he introduced Geng Bo to the details of the space city.

"The space city is mainly composed of two parts: the launch center and the rocket research center."

"All the important equipment is shipped from your country."

"We haven't moved at the moment, just waiting for you to arrive and get to work."

After learning about it, Geng Bo decided to start working here first from the rocket assembly shop.

It just so happened that they came this time and brought a Chang 3B Type A rocket.

It's just a good time for them to see what to do during the rocket assembly process.

The final assembly of rockets requires the use of a lot of high-precision equipment.

For example, docking accuracy measuring instruments.

It is used to test the docking accuracy between various components.

The docking between the various stages of the rocket needs to be accurate to the micron level.

As soon as there is any deviation.

It is possible that there will be an accident during the launch of the rocket.

Rocket accidents can range from the destruction of rockets and satellites to the loss of a large number of casualties.

So, the first thing Geng Bo did after coming to the Sky City.

And not specific rocket assembly work.

Rather, it introduces and strictly stipulates the "double zero system" to local technicians.

This is a major prerequisite for the vigorous development of the rocket industry.

There is no institutional guarantee of quality.

Everything else, then, is a castle in the sky.

Adul couldn't quite understand why the first thing was about this seemingly useless system.

However, he did not offer his opinion.

He knew it before.

His role in the space city is that of a listener and an executor.

And not the naysayers.

Geng Bo explained the details of the "double zero system".

looked at the dazed crowd in the audience and sighed.

There are some things that you can't actually do unless you experience them yourself.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to pay attention to it.

Before the accident of the Changsanyi rocket, even if someone mentioned the "double zero system" to them.

I guess they won't be so strict with it.

It's just that at this time, their situation is different.

Geng Bo is almost a word in the construction of various systems in the space city.

He forced this system to be effective.

After all, the main personnel working in the space city are all senior technical personnel from China.

They can understand the importance of the system.

I only hope that they can slowly understand it in their work.
