Chapter 147 Return

When the rain woke up on the 6th, the rain had already stopped. Maybe it was because he was too tired during the day. Liu Jinpeng slept heavily at night. He didn't know when the rain stopped. The air was very fresh after the heavy rain. The water vapor in the forest was very sufficient and you could hear unknown birds singing. After moving your body a little, you saw Zero and Zhang Yu coming back from outside. They seemed to be going for a walk. Zero saw Liu Jinpeng without saying anything, just laughing. Zhang Yu came over to report what he had seen just now.

The two of them got up early in the morning. After washing up, they said they were going to the camp by the beach together. The situation was indeed not optimistic. All the simple fences near the beach had been washed down. It was probably because of the big waves at night that rushed up to knock them down. One of the tents near the fences was also overturned. Not only did the tent disappear, but even the empty boxes in the tent were gone. Zhang Yu was probably swept into the sea. Other tents were also tilted, but it was a blessing that they had not been blown over. The wind power last night was likely to reach level 9 or above.

Yiti consulted the information from the Maritime Bureau and the Meteorological Bureau. There are few such strong winds and heavy rains in the waters in this area. I don’t know why this time, both of them asked them to catch up. However, the rain has passed and the sky is clear, and there should be no more strong storms in the near future. From the meteorological cloud map, the thick clouds have weakened to low pressure and are moving towards the north. It is expected to disappear before reaching the Bering Strait.

The situation on Eva's side was fine. Last night, it was urgently moved five hundred meters inside, without much loss, but some food and equipment were soaked in water. After the preliminary inspection, several instruments may be lost. Two large bags of food were also lost. Two tents were blown away by the wind. Fortunately, the personnel were not injured, but were just a little scared. Today Eva and the others were going to cross the island and the volcano to return to the cave to meet up, and then board the ship and leave together.

The breakfast in the morning was still vegetable soup and instant noodles. No matter how delicious it was, it would be fucked by eating it for several days, let alone this kind of field food. Liu Mei had never suffered such a loss. She yelled that she would go to the best restaurant to have a hard meal when she returned to the land. Ye Ling also wanted to eat it, but she was even more afraid of growing meat, so she could only eat canned fruits and muttered to herself. Zhang Yu always had no complaints, and she also gave Liu Jinpeng a few more pieces of beef in her canned food.

Li Xiwen and Li Xinran's aunt and nephew sat aside and silenced their heads. Li Xiwen didn't like to eat meat and changed to canned fruits. Li Xinran also pleased to give some yellow peaches in her canned food to Li Xiwen's plate. Li Xiwen also said thank you, but she was not as intimate as she had ever met before. Wu Xinrui and Huo Zijia were carnivorous like Liu Jinpeng, and they also liked to pour beef gravy on broken bread and mix it with food. They also joked that this was a camping version of beef soaking bun.

After a simple meal, Liu Jinpeng said he wanted to go to the beach camp. Everyone was idle and had nothing to do, so he made an appointment to go together. In the morning, they had already issued a power to the Blue Whale to inform them to come and pick them up, and they would probably be able to get on the boat in the afternoon. So everyone also wanted to see the situation around here again, and it would probably change a lot when they came again. Then there would be no such original scenery to see.

The beach camp looked like it had been looted. The tents were drooping, the fences were tilted, and the drainage ditches were filled with mud and leaves. Even the flagpole was broken. The woods on the beach seemed to be crushed by some giant, with many trees falling down. Many leaves on the trees were scraped off, revealing bare branches. There were also many coconut trees falling down. However, coconuts were not yet mature in this season, so I couldn't enjoy the fun of picking up coconuts under the trees.

After walking around the beach, Liu Jinpeng took out a drawing book and drew it. Li Xiwen was curious about what he was painting. Liu Jinpeng explained: "The surface level of this area may be relatively soft, which is very unfavorable for the construction of a port terminal. I think if we want to shorten the construction period, can we start building on the edge of the cliff? However, we have to cooperate with the hydrological conditions of Luoxing Bay and we cannot make hasty decisions."

Li Xiwen does not understand geology, but she knows a little about dock construction. She has also learned things like budget control before. Generally speaking, it is better to build a dock to be hard, so that the construction period will be shorter. If you have to build it on soft ground, it will take longer to cure concrete. The dock construction must first be piled and watered, and the depth of the pile is determined according to the geological conditions. Then pour the beams, cap beams, and erect piles, and then install prefabricated plates. After the prefabricated plate is put on, the beams are installed, and then the platform is laid, and finally the fenders are fenced against ship components and other fragmentary operations. There is at least three cycles of concrete curing period in the middle, each cycle is more than 20 days.

The advantage of such a pile driving wharf is that the foundation is solid and stable, the environment is relatively affected by the environment, the service cycle is long, the maintenance cost is low, etc. If you want to build a simple wharf, such as a floating wharf, it is also very simple. If a fixed pedestal extends from the shore, the floating movable platform is tied to the pedestal. This kind of wharf is built at a fast speed, but it cannot resist wind and waves. Moreover, the movable platform needs to be built in the dock before transporting it, which is very troublesome.

Li Xiwen's suggestion is that if you want to simply board and get off passengers, you only need to build a trest, and at most a boat is docked like a ferry terminal. Such a trest can only be done in a few days, but it is obviously impossible to use it for a long time. If you encounter a larger storm, you will probably be reimbursed. She considered that she had to transport a large number of construction machines and materials to the island, and overturned this idea herself.

Liu Jinpeng said while drawing: "I think we don't have to worry about it. Leave the problem to experts to solve. I just draw the situation around me to give the experts some intuitive experience and help."

Li Xiwen asked, "Have you planned again? Which company are you going to find?"

Liu Jinpeng did plan. The last time the factory was good for Pingjing's subsidiary. I wonder if they would like to take on such work in the depths of the Pacific. After going back, I had to contact several shipping companies to provide transportation services. I guess I have been very busy in the past few months, and the work of transporting materials and equipment back and forth is indispensable. No wonder some people say that buying an island is easy to build, while maintaining a small island in the depths of the Pacific is even more difficult.

Liu Jinpeng hopes to use this island as a transit station, which can not only conduct ocean research but also do business of recycling "garbage" in outer space. If this point is missing, the subsequent plans will have to be changed. If it weren't for such a purpose, just buying an island for vacation and leisure, Liu Jinpeng would not be so spendthing. However, in Li Xiwen's opinion, her boyfriend's boyfriend did this, and he might have to throw hundreds of millions of dollars in for this island, and there is obviously no return in the near future.

Even so, Li Xiwen didn't want to say anything against him. She felt that she was becoming more and more obsessed with him. Maybe it was because she left some knots behind. Anyway, even if Liu Jinpeng ended up being unfamiliar, Li Xiwen felt that there was no problem with supporting him. The only thing she needed to worry about was whether his self-esteem could be accepted. So far, Li Xiwen's biggest regret is that Liu Jinpeng always had some secrets and did not tell her about it, and she was still a little dissatisfied with this.

Liu Jinpeng didn't know that Li Xiwen had thought so much about whether there were any or not after following him. After finishing drawing, he put away the notebook, took Li Xiwen's hand and walked along the beach, enjoying the rare world of two people. At 4:57 pm, the Blue Whale finally arrived at the sea outside Luoxing Bay and sent five lifeboats to pick up personnel and supplies. Qingdao also followed the Blue Whale, which will escort the Blue Whale to the Guam base. Next, Qingdao will rest at the Guam Naval Base for a while.

The other two destroyers will return to Wake Island after the escort mission. As for the Mackerel diesel-electric submarine, the Mackerel diesel-electric submarine, had left the sea before the storm. Before they separated, Liu Jinpeng expressed his gratitude to the Qingdao sailors. In addition to verbal words, he also felt that he should find a way to improve the living conditions of these sailors. Of course, even if he had to do it, he would do it through Li Jingwen's channels. He would not do such a stupid thing as working on the army without hesitation.

The captain of the Blue Whale welcomed the returned guests on the boat. The chef on the boat had prepared a sumptuous dinner. However, the first thing the women did after boarding the boat was not to have a big meal, but to go straight to the bathroom to wash away the dust from their bodies for several days. Liu Jinpeng talked to the captain for a few words and asked about the recent situation. After replenishing supplies on Wake Island, the Blue Whale suffered a storm attack. He did not encounter any major dangers, and his personnel and equipment were safe.

The captain reported on his future itinerary. First, he went to Guam under the escort of three warships, and was expected to rest for one day in Guam. Then he started to go to Ryukyu, which was originally planned to go on his way back. Liu Jinpeng also wanted to go to Ryukyu for a few days because of his personal expenses. Then he specially arranged such an itinerary. After leaving Ryukyu, he would go straight to the estuary of the Yangtze River. After arriving at Puhai Port, the journey ended.

During dinner, Liu Jinpeng told the women about his future itinerary. Everyone was not interested in Ryukyu, but was quite curious about the mysterious Guam base. Liu Jinpeng felt deeply shocked and simply stopped talking. Li Xiwen laughed and made him laugh, but he ignored him. However, Guam became a military-controlled area because of the existence of the military base, and it was also a forbidden area that no ordinary people had ever visited. Liu Jinpeng was actually very curious. He also wanted to see the aircraft carrier formation docked there.

After dinner, the Blue Whale officially started. Everyone gathered on the observation deck on the top deck, silently watching Wangxing Island in the sunset, as if they were saying goodbye. Unlike the sorrow of separation in most people, Liu Mei had long been tired of this ghost place. She was eager to return to the familiar steel jungle. Liu Jinpeng looked at Wangxing Island and felt ambitions surged in her heart. When this island was well built, his blueprint would fill an extremely important node, and perhaps a new future would start here.
