Big Ship Chapter 549: The Sail Training Ship Visits

"Sorry, I'm late." By the time Qin Tao returned to the guest house, it was already dark outside.

Zhao Ling smiled: "I'm sorry, you're doing it for work."

That smile is clearly saying, you always criticize me for disregarding life for work, isn't that the same for you?

"If it's not for work, it's just for chatting with Mr. Song." Qin Tao said: "Next, I won't go anywhere, I will be with you every day. By the way, let's go out for something to eat?"

"Okay." Zhao Ling nodded.

There are still a lot of delicacies in the Land of Abundance. In a restaurant near the guest house, Qin Tao ordered more than a dozen delicacies in one go and set a full table.

"Brother Tao, if you order so much, how can we finish it?" Zhao Ling shook her head.

Qin Tao couldn't go out without Xu Zhengyang. Even if the three of them ate together, they wouldn't be able to eat so much.

"If you can't eat, take it back." Qin Tao said, "We won't leave the guest house tomorrow."

Zhao Ling rolled her eyes at him, and there is Xu Zhengyang. Is it appropriate for you to speak so carelessly?

Xu Zhengyang lowered his head and only focused on eating, with no intention of disturbing the conversation between the two.

"Brother Tao, I heard that you have established an aerospace branch and are planning to build rockets?" Zhao Ling smiled and got down to business.

In terms of identity, Zhao Ling also belongs to the Aerospace Group, so she mentioned this matter.

"Yes, our goal is to conquer Mars." Qin Tao said.

Zhao Ling smiled and shook her head: "Brother Tao, put your theories away. You have no interest in conquering Mars."

"Yes, I'm not interested." Qin Tao said, "However, this is a major event in human history, and I want to make my name in history through this event."

Zhao Ling rolled her eyes at him and continued to brag. She even wants to hear the truth from you?

At this moment, Xu Zhengyang's cell phone rang.

Watching him answer the phone, Qin Tao had an ominous premonition. Could something happen again? His wife had so easily left others to be with him, but in the end, he had to leave because of something else.

This is somewhat inappropriate.

This trip was actually for tourism, so Qin Tao specially booked a flight ticket for the day after tomorrow, so that he could spend a few days in the city of the Land of Abundance and return to the world of the two of them before.

Covering the receiver of the phone, Xu Zhengyang spoke.

"President Qin, the Chinese Navy's sailing training ship White Swan is about to arrive at Huating Port in my country for a goodwill visit to our country. Your superiors asked if you are free and can we attend the reception ceremony together." Xu Zhengyang asked Qin Tao.

"The superior is just asking?" Qin Tao breathed a sigh of relief: "In that case, then tell them that I don't have time, my schedule is full."

From a theoretical point of view, Qin Tao should go to receive the reception. After all, he invited the football country's navy to send a sail training ship. Moreover, their Mingzhou Group also accepted the football country's aircraft carrier construction contract. The two parties are friendly partners.

Relationship.

However, Qin Tao didn't want to waste the time he spent with his wife. After all, this time was too rare. Later, the two of them would have to be busy with their own affairs.

Hearing what Qin Tao said, Zhao Ling frowned: "Brother Tao, our Mingzhou Group has a very good relationship with the football country. They come from afar, you should receive them!"

"This is a naval visit, a military matter, and has nothing to do with me." Qin Tao said, "I can't always help the navy."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Tao's cell phone rang in his pocket. When he saw the phone number displayed on the small LCD screen, Qin Tao's expression suddenly changed.

This is courtesy first and then fighting!

"Brother Tao, why don't you answer the phone?" Zhao Ling was very surprised.

For official matters, Qin Tao's secretary Xu Zhengyang is always contacted first. Only people close to him will know Qin Tao's mobile phone number.

Upon hearing Zhao Ling's question, Qin Tao reluctantly handed over his cell phone: "My dad is calling, please answer it."

Zhao Ling took it and pressed the answer button, and Wu Shengli's dissatisfied voice came from inside: "Taozi, why are you so ignorant? What kind of job do you have? Isn't it just with my daughter? How old are you?

As a person, can’t you put work first? You always think about doing that kind of thing with my daughter all day long, you are too..."

"Dad, it's me, what are you talking about?" Zhao Ling blushed when she heard this. Wu Shengli, who was opposite, was also stunned. His daughter answered the phone? It was a bit inappropriate to say that just now.

"Dad, don't worry, Taozi will go back as soon as possible."

Qin Tao was very helpless. Just now, he even thought mischievously whether he should applaud for love and make his father-in-law feel ashamed. Considering the acceptance ability of people in this era, he decided to forget it.

Now, my wife has agreed on my behalf, what else is there to say? Go back.

"Xiaoling, if we go back now, the team shouldn't have gone back yet, right?" Qin Tao asked.

Zhao Ling nodded.

"Well, then treat it as a trip." Qin Tao said, "Until the team comes back, your time is mine."

"Okay." Zhao Ling nodded.

"Zhengyang, after dinner, you go and book a flight."

"Um."

"Xiaoling, let's go."

Let’s go? Let’s go now? Zhao Ling was a little curious.

"Time is so tight, we have to hurry up and let's go!"

Zhao Ling understood something and turned red with embarrassment.

The White Swan was built to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the discovery of football. In 1500, the Portuguese navigator Pedro Cabral discovered Brazil, so this ship should have been built two thousand years ago. When was this ship specific?

I don't know if it was built or not. It's only 1996, so just treat it as if it was just built.

It has just been completed. This voyage is its maiden voyage. The fact that the destination of the voyage is in the East is enough to show that the football country attaches great importance to the East. After all, the East wants to build them an aircraft carrier!

The displacement of this sailing ship is about one thousand tons, and its length is 80 meters. There is another saying that it is more than 200 meters, which seems a bit impossible. It was built by the Amsterdam Shipyard in the Netherlands and is a main three-masted sailing ship.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The front end of the bow has a long tip like a rhinoceros horn, which looks very spectacular. The shape of the hull is very retro, just like the former

Just like the pirate era, although the hull is made of steel, it is a retro look of the wooden hull of the past. However, this hull is also good and suitable for sailing through waves on the sea.

It is not a whole sail structure. There are multiple crossbars on each mast, five in the front, six in the middle, and four in the back. Each of them can hang a special trapezoidal sail, plus the front and rear ones.

The triangle sail forms a characteristic sailing structure.

On July 15, countless people were watching at Huating Military Port. This retro warship attracted the attention of many people, and when the sailboat slowly approached, more people exclaimed.

"Are they performing acrobatics?" someone asked.

There are people standing on the crossbar of the mast! A sailor wearing a white navy uniform is actually standing on it. Aren't they afraid of falling?

"This way of cultivating sailors' courage is really good!" Wu Shengli nodded with satisfaction.

In the old days of sailing, this method had practical significance. If an accident occurred when retracting or retracting the sail, and the rope got stuck, a sailor would need to climb up and untie it. There was also a follower in the elementary school textbook.

There is a story about a little boy whose father went to sea and climbed up the mast to get his hat hung from the top of the mast by a monkey.

However, modern warships no longer have this need. The mast is easy to climb. Even in the era of stealth warships, the outside of the mast has been covered with a slope and there are ladders inside. There is no need to risk climbing. This kind of climbing

The way of mast is used to exercise the courage of sailors.

There were people standing on all three masts, and there were forty or fifty people squatting on the mast alone.

Others stood on the bow of the boat, lined up neatly, giving it a different kind of beauty.

"Taozi, you once made a proposal to our navy to build a sail training ship. At that time, we had no money, so we didn't have this construction plan. Now, if our navy squeezes in, we should be able to build one, but it's just that

"We don't seem to have such technical reserves." Wu Shengli said to Qin Tao next to him.

"Why not? Our Mingzhou Group has already had specialized talents. Our ancestors were craftsmen who built treasure ships. As long as the navy allocates funds, we will build them for you in minutes." Qin Tao glanced at his father-in-law: "It depends on whether the navy makes a decision.

Determined.”

This time it was Wu Shengli's turn to say nothing. He originally wanted to say a few polite words, but this son-in-law just wanted money, and if he asked for the money, he could start construction.

Can the Navy provide funding? It’s a shame. If you have money, you might as well save up and build more warships! The need for training ships is not that urgent.

Woo, woo! At this moment, the welcoming whistle sounded, and then the military band on the shore also began to play. Wu Shengli got rid of the embarrassment: "They are about to dock."

In this era, it is unrealistic to rely solely on sails. When the sailing training ship in front of you entered the port, it was also driven by an engine, and there were two tugboats helping. Just like that, after a lot of trouble, the sailing ship docked.

.

"On behalf of the Eastern Navy and the Eastern people, I welcome you to come to us for a friendly visit." Wu Shengli cheerfully extended his hand.

Generally speaking, a visit of this level can be received by local naval officers. When Wu Shengli came in person at this level, the other party was naturally flattered. Cabral, who led the team this time, is the deputy director of the naval academy of the football country.

The dean, who is also a naval officer of our country, extended his hand enthusiastically: "It is a great honor to come to the East. We are very curious about it, especially the military exercise you held a few months ago. We really want to ask for advice.

After a while, it will be compiled into the teaching materials of our college."

This warship represents the navy of the United States, but the people operating it are not active officers. Some of them are teachers at the Naval Academy and some are trainees.

And when they come here, they not only want to have a friendly visit, but also want to learn.

This world respects the strong. When the East held a military exercise and scared away those with ulterior motives, the whole world was shocked. At the same time, they were also studying and analyzing, and discussing what changes would happen to future naval battles.

"Of course, we can tell you all your questions." Wu Shengli said: "In your plan, you should also go to Mingzhou Group to have a look. The person next to me is the person in charge of Mingzhou Group. He

We will take you to see the modern shipbuilding industry."

The other party looked at Qin Tao in surprise. Such a young man was actually the boss of a huge shipbuilding group? Recently, there was news that the Zhou Group was going to enter space.
