A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

Chapter 866 Having someone to back you up makes all the difference; everything thrives. Except…

What did you forget?

Jiang Xia couldn't remember for a moment.

But it's not his fault. Even Staff Officer Xie was all smiles, rolling up his trousers, ready to go into the sea himself to catch sea cucumbers for the silly boy.

Because this kid is a damn lucky star!

I borrowed the radio and actually heard the old man's voice on it!

What is going on here?

Ahem, don't forget, as mentioned above, when the little guy said "fire!", he emphasized the word!

If it were an old radio, some crosstalk or noise interference wouldn't be unusual. But this is a modern, digitally encrypted radio, and with the support of a relay base station, it's absolutely impossible for such a basic technical problem to occur.

Where did this sound come from?

Don't rush, let's move the time forward a bit.

……

After a brief moment of happiness, Jiang Xia rubbed his throbbing temples and fell into a new wave of anxiety.

“We avoided the reef, but what do we do next?” he muttered to himself. “'Resonance' is just an excuse; the ship itself should be fine. Should we order them to return immediately for repairs, or…”

He was inclined to let the "Leap Forward" continue its mission. Although most of the crew did not know at the time that the final destination of this voyage was the port of that neighboring country with which they shared a close but delicate relationship.

However, relevant Japanese personnel had already received the news and were waiting for the first arrival of this giant ship, which represents the level of China's shipbuilding industry.

If we hastily cancel or postpone it at this time, given the already complex attitude of the other party towards China, they might take advantage of the situation and create some diplomatic incidents and negative public opinion that are detrimental to us.

"We have to keep sailing..." Jiang Xia thought to himself, "But how do we get around this 'resonance' problem?"

Just as he was racking his brains, trying to come up with a reasonable explanation that the "risk had been eliminated," Xiao Zhang, the communications staff officer beside him, suddenly nudged him gently and whispered:

“Engineer Jiang… Just now, when you were talking to the ‘Yuejin’ and mentioned that ‘we must fire a warning shot,’ there seemed to be an extremely brief, non-locally transmitted accent signal in the encrypted channel… It was very weak, but the encoding format was very special…”

"What?" Jiang Xia was taken aback, then suddenly realized, and patted Xiao Zhang on the shoulder:

"Oh, now that you mention it, I definitely heard it. What, was your boss spying on you? No wonder you guys coordinated so well this time!"

"No...no!" Xiao Zhang's voice trembled. "That voice...I think I've heard it on the radio before!"

"is it?"

Jiang Xia was somewhat absent-minded. You're just a communications officer, don't you hear your boss's voice every day? What's so strange about that?

Now all he can think about is how to cover up that damn "resonance" lie.

Seriously! How am I supposed to make this up?

Lying may feel good for a moment, but covering up a lie will lead to disaster!

Just as he felt his ahoge (cowlick) was about to get tangled from overthinking, the indicator light on the encrypted radio lit up again, and Xiao Zhang quickly answered it.

Immediately, a calm yet powerful voice clearly resounded throughout the entire communications department:

"You little devils, you did a great job."

With just one sentence, the entire communications section fell silent instantly. Even Staff Officer Xie, who had been gesturing and contemplating whether to risk his wife's nagging by going to the beach to catch something to keep his dazed son occupied, froze.

"And that big guy in the sky, the comrades on Airborne Early Warning and Control System No. 1, you were bold and meticulous, and made a decisive decision on the spot. You deserve credit!" The voice on the radio continued, with a tone of praise.

"Staff Officer Xie Chengzhang of the Lushun Base, and all the comrades who participated in this emergency response, responded quickly and provided strong support. They are all outstanding!"

Staff Officer Xie, who was directly called out, blushed bright red to his ears. He was so excited that he didn't know what to do. He subconsciously stomped his foot, and with a "rip," the rolled-up trouser leg tore open in his excitement...

Well, this time, I'm definitely going to get scolded.

Because this was the only decent pair of pants that Staff Officer Xie owned...

However, Staff Officer Xie couldn't care less about all that right now.

The old man's words were filled with smiles, like a spring breeze, as he praised everyone by name, his tone full of satisfaction and admiration.

However, the old man changed his tone, and a pragmatic consideration appeared in his calm voice:

"Kid! You considered the 'resonance' problem of the 'Yuejin' very thoroughly and prevented greater losses in time. Now the reef has been avoided, but this root of the problem can't be left unresolved indefinitely."

Thankfully, this is just in our own backyard. Even if we get all dirty and disheveled, we can clean up the mess behind closed doors. But next time we'll be going out to meet guests, and we can't let outsiders see us looking foolish, can we?

Upon hearing the words "become a laughing stock," Jiang Xia straightened his chest, and a surge of defiant spirit instantly dispelled his hesitation: "Don't worry, Commander! We absolutely cannot let outsiders make a fool of us!"

"Oh, tell me? Now that the Leap Forward, which is usually impossible to wake up, can finally hear us!" Another gentle voice chimed in, with a hint of helplessness in its tone, but without being too harsh on the Leap Forward for causing the trouble.

Hey, are you awake yet?

Just wait until you get back, then we'll see how we deal with you!

Despite thinking this, Jiang Xia nodded and replied quickly: "Reporting to the commander! There's a way! We can use the 'dynamic ballast water allocation method'!"

Hehe, I learned this trick from short videos.

In the era when short videos became popular, do you think the videos that men loved to watch most were of young women wearing black stockings?

wrong!

Repairing donkey hooves, transporting bananas, and picking barnacles are their favorite things.

Jiangxia simply has one more thing to enjoy watching.

Yes, that's ocean freighter loading and transportation.

Whether it's cleaning up warehouses or hiding from pirates in safe rooms, these are all things he enjoys watching. One of the shows features an old sailor explaining this dynamic deployment method.

It's simple.

The key to resonance lies in the fact that the excitation frequency is locked at the natural frequency of the hull structure.

Then we can do the opposite and make the inherent frequency 'move'!

Specifically, during navigation, the water volume in each ballast tank on board is adjusted regularly and in small amounts to keep the ship's center of gravity and weight distribution in a small, controlled dynamic state.

In this way, the natural frequency of the ship's overall vibration will also be continuously and slightly shifted, making it impossible for the dangerous resonant frequency to be "locked"!

This method only requires operating the existing ballast system, is safe and reliable, and is sufficient to support the 'Yuejin' in completing its remaining voyage!

"Are you sure it's possible?"

"It works!"

"Great! This is a good idea! It sounds down-to-earth, but it makes sense!"

This is what they call "using brine to curdle tofu, one thing subdues another!"

The old man's hearty laughter rang out, "Let's proceed with your plan, kid! Tell the comrades on the 'Leap Forward' to lay down their burdens and move forward lightly!"

We must not only dare to venture into the ocean, but also be able to withstand any storms and waves there!

"Yes! Promise to complete the mission!"

After the old man managed a few more words, the communication was cut off. What followed was a private call between Yuejin and Jiangxia.

After listening to the instructions and details of the "dynamic ballast water allocation" plan conveyed by Jiang Xia, Captain Liu responded without hesitation: "Understood! The 'Yuejin' will resolutely implement the expert group's plan, immediately initiate the dynamic ballast water allocation procedure, ensure navigation safety, and resolutely complete the long-distance voyage!"

It’s settled, everything is settled!

Hehe, so it turns out the older folks think the same way I do. I'm so clever!

Jiang Xia, shameless and with his ahoge swaying wildly, followed Staff Officer Xie, who was so excited he was about to perform a somersault for him, out of the small building.

wrong!

I remembered something I had forgotten.

Old Wang!

Did you catch that guy who was recklessly planning flight routes?
