Chapter 606: The Greeting Time Is a Bit Short

The morning light was shining, and on the deck of the Silence, a group of people were staring at the two propellers that were slowly falling.

The hydraulic device gradually retracted, pushing the half-lifted thrusters into the water.

Compared with the 6,000-ton Silence, these two propellers, which together weigh more than 100 tons, seem very small, and the movements of the left and right sides are also very synchronized, so the Silence is very stable, and only at the moment of entering the water can I feel The Silence shook slightly.

As the hydraulic device gradually exerted force, the two I-shaped propellers were pressed into the water about four meters below the surface.

Su Hongyi, who was in charge of writing and manufacturing the control system, held a tablet, looked at the data on it, and said loudly: "The first test of the 'Water Strider' type propulsion equipment has started, and the water entry has been completed; No. 3 completed, No. 3 completed... all propulsion pipeline self-inspections completed, and the control system sent a test signal..."

With a "poof", the propellers on both sides sprayed two sprays at the same time, and the Silence also jumped forward.

"The test signal is normal, the propulsion equipment is normal, the connection pressure is normal, so far, everything is normal..."

"Oh, God, God..." Barton kept making the sign of the cross beside him. He was wearing swimming trunks and an orange shark-proof diving cap on his head, praying constantly: "Please be successful, boss, please be magnanimous." , God forgive me, please don't come sharks..."

"Does this guy really think he will be thrown into the sea and fed to sharks?" Lu Yeqian was puzzled, and asked Feng Tianyou, Uncle Ming is kind and amiable, how could he do such a thing?

"You don't know how terrifying the boss is..." Although Turkey was not as exaggerated as Button, he was also very nervous, holding on to a lifebuoy tightly and not letting go.

"These soldiers are stupid, and their heads may not be normal." Feng Tianyou pointed to his head. That boy Wang Ziyang delayed his business plan for a month, and he didn't see Mr. Nan doing anything to him. Why are these people so rude? Afraid of Mr. Nan?

Of course, it is precisely because Mr. Nan is so magnanimous that he has to work hard when it is time to work. It is simply incredible to get such a propulsion device out within two days.

Feng Tianyou himself felt particularly fulfilled.

Although the most important part was done by Mr. Nan himself.

Zhou Yang was not as relaxed as them. It was the first time he participated in the "brainstorming" creation activity of the Lazy God Department, which was full of shock and creativity, and Zhou Yang was completely shocked.

This is the creativity of the lazy god? This kind of thing that only exists in science fiction novels is actually created like this?

Compared to Zhou Yang, the master workers who are not particularly familiar with the current technological development are much calmer.

Daqiang looked at it with a silly smile, feeling very fulfilled. It took two days to build such a big thing, and he can brag when he goes back!

As for how awesome this thing is, he has no idea.

As he thought about it, he kept stroking the powered exoskeleton on his body. The kid said that he had been single for more than 30 years, and today he finally fell in love.

Falling in love with his overalls, I don't want to part for a second.

"Daqiang, take a photo with your mobile phone." Zhou Yang handed his mobile phone to Daqiang. This will be a new chapter in human navigation technology. This will be a moment that will change the world. How can you not take a group photo?

He didn't understand why Lu Yeqian was so calm.

"Change the world? We're used to it." Lu Yeqian suppressed his excitement and acted calmly.

Zhou Yang felt that Lu Yeqian was too tall, but he had no idea that this was the first time Lu Yeqian participated in such a thing!

first!

Truly change the world!

This moment is here!

It's time to start, Nan Ming nodded to the colonel, and the colonel immediately ordered loudly: "Hold the anchor!"

The colonel organized a military band. A group of mercenaries dressed in white navy uniforms stood on the deck and played military music. They sang the anchor song with a deep male voice:

"AnchorsAweighMyBoys (AnchorsAweighMyBoys)

AnchorsAweigh

Farewelltocollegejoys (farewell to college life)

WesailatthebreakofDAY (We sail at the break of DAY)"

And with the singing, the chain of the anchor tightened, pulling the huge and heavy anchor out of the water.

"What are they singing?" Nan Ming asked.

"Sir, this is the anchor-lifting song, the battle song of the U.S. Naval Academy, and it can also be regarded as the military song of the U.S. Navy." Muller replied.

Nan Ming tilted his head: "Next time let them sing the People's Navy is moving forward."

"Yes, sir." Muller nodded.

Thinking of a group of American soldiers singing that the People's Navy is marching forward, Yang Ji burst out laughing next to him.

At such a moment, Yang Ji, who was blackened according to the setting, could not be blackened.

Then Yang Ji found that Mr. Muller was looking at him, and he raised his hand helplessly: "Okay, I will teach them later..."

Now that the guest and host have changed positions, Mule is the boss, and Yang Ji has to grovel.

But I have to say that the passionate anchor song really made the atmosphere a lot more solemn, and everyone felt an unspeakable sense of responsibility, sacredness and historical mission.

History is made by us!

After the preliminary preparations were completed, the colonel looked at Nan Ming again, and Nan Ming stretched out his hand and pointed forward: "Set sail!"

Following Nan Ming's order, the colonel said loudly: "Level 1 advance mode!"

Wave down a small flag in your hand.

On the bridge, in front of the console, the joystick was slowly pushed forward, one scale, two scales...

With a sound of "wow", there was a sound of water, and everyone leaned on the side of the boat and looked down. It was like two white dragons rolling under the water surface. The surging water was energized under the strong magnetic field, and then spewed backward.

The acceleration was very smooth, and the sound of the water was very small, as if the waves were washing over. Everyone swayed, and then they all stood still.

"It's moving, it's moving! The boat is moving!" Daqiang shouted excitedly. At this time, a group of people should be looking at him like idiots, but Daqiang's cheers aroused a certain emotion, and everyone on the deck Everyone shouted for joy.

Moved!

Everyone grabbed the fence on the ship's side, resisting the force brought by the acceleration and the increasing wind, and soon the colonel reported: "The first-stage propulsion has been accelerated, and the current speed is 30 knots."

Everyone has only one thought, so fast!

Thirty knots is roughly equal to 55 kilometers per hour, which is equivalent to the deck wind of a seventh-level wind, and everyone is already a little unsteady.

However, Nan Ming had already made preparations. Everyone moved the bow, and an arc-shaped barrier was erected at the bow. This is the fairing. According to the design speed, the Silence has reached the point where it has to consider air resistance. The road barrier is used to reduce air resistance.

The middle part of the fairing protrudes from the bow and is transparent as a whole. There is also a protruding hemispherical platform at the front end. Nan Ming stands forward, feeling like standing on the bridge of a legendary spaceship. He points out: "Our goal is the sea of ​​stars!"

This is probably what Jack and Rose felt when they stood in front of the Titanic and felt that they were the kings of the world.

The Silence sailed away from the port at a speed of 30 knots, which is already the limit speed of many large warships. In the eyes of many other ships in the port, this ship is simply crazy. Suddenly sailing at the highest speed, I don’t know how many small ships have to Dodge, so as not to be overturned by the turbulent waves, sticking fingers behind and cursing the Silence.

It's amazing how fast it is! If you have the guts, go faster!

Hit you to death!

Not far away, a fleet appeared in front of them. Two large ships and more than a dozen small boats were cruising on the sea. The one behind was the Pilar, the one in front was the Statham, and various other ships, It is the other small boats of the Philippine Navy.

"It's been a few weeks, and the two boats haven't finished sticking yet?" Nan Ming wondered, but since they met, it would be embarrassing not to show off.

The weeks-long "Shoulder to Shoulder" US-Philippines joint military exercise is drawing to a close, and these two ships are the final collective appearance of the exercise.

The Pilar was the first to notice the approach of the Silence, and Kirkyrara and the crew stood at attention on board and saluted.

"Come on, hurry up." Nan Ming said to the colonel standing beside him.

"Two-level acceleration." The colonel waved his flag to order.

The joystick continues to move forward, three scales, four scales, five scales...

Kerkirala has a typical Filipino face, stubby, dark and shiny, and pursed his lips when he raised his right hand with the Lazy God logo in salute, very serious.

However, as the Silence got closer and closer, his solemnity could no longer be maintained, his mouth opened wider and wider, and in the end he almost managed to stuff an egg in.

On the Stadson, the captain was also taken aback when he first discovered the Silence, but he was relieved when he saw that it was the Silence.

The two sides still have peaceful and friendly exchanges, and there should be no danger.

But then, he realized something was wrong, and the radar operator first screamed: "Sir, the speed of the Silence is wrong!"

In fact, the captain of the USS Stadson didn't need to tell the radar operator that something was wrong.

They are currently using a cruising speed of 18 knots, and even if the Silence is sailing at full speed, it can only leave them by about 10 knots.

But now they feel like two warships are traveling at full speed relatively!

"What is the Silence on both sides of the ship? It can't be a suicide rocket!" The first officer was a little frightened.

"Ship... Captain, the current speed of the Silence is 48 knots!" The radar operator reported again.

48 knots, which is already the speed of a missile speedboat. The highest speed of a large ship in the sea was created by a nuclear submarine of the former Soviet Union. The underwater speed is 44 knots.

This is the current limit, and many torpedoes are at this speed.

"This must be a suicide rocket installed!" The captain was also frightened.

"Captain, the Silence is still accelerating...49...50...55...60 knots, the speed of the Silence is 60 knots!"

60 knots is 112 kilometers per hour, which is the speed of high-speed driving.

On the Silence, the colonel stood beside Nan Ming, stood at attention, first saluted Kerkilara, and then saluted the Stadson.

On the USS Statham, the captain and the first officer subconsciously returned the American military salute.

Then they heard Nan Ming holding hands and waving while chatting with them in the public channel, and first said hello: "Hello Xiao Ke, hello Xiao Shi..."

Then greeted: "Have you had breakfast? Do you like sweet soy milk or salty soy milk, I personally prefer..."

Farewell again: "Oh, goodbye Xiao Ke, goodbye Xiao Shi..."

In the blink of an eye, before the greeting was finished, the Silence had almost disappeared on the horizon.
