It has been more than 10 days since Zhu Beiguo's fleet left the red dock and went to sea, and because there is no long-distance communication radio, the fleet has been in a state of no news since it went to sea.

Therefore, it is only at this time that everyone truly experiences how tormenting the worrying uncertainty that entangles the hearts of the families and friends of those who go out on a voyage in this era.

After the doctors diagnosed, they said that this is mild depression caused by pregnancy, which is a symptom of depression, so everyone can't help but be a little worried when they think that their sister is still pregnant.

But how can we help with this?

And Cheng Fangfang's situation is not much better, a few days ago she was muttering in front of Xia Xiaoou, saying that she dreamed again last night, Xu Zhi shouted to him for help in the water, and complained that Xu Zhi was also a restless lord, and he didn't stop on the Nicole for a few days, so he said for a while that he wanted to sail out to sea alone, and then said that he wanted to go out to be the governor, and now it's okay, and there is no news directly......

For this reason, Xia Xiaoou Yu He specifically found Xiao Fei for the two and asked him to develop a long-distance communication radio that can be placed on a small ship as soon as possible, and the two told Xiao Fei that as long as you can develop a marine communication radio, the board of directors of the "North Fund" has decided to give people to this project, ask for money, and give you any supporting facilities!

As a result---- Xiao Fei had to temporarily put aside a series of electronic component manufacturing projects such as his vacuum tubes the ultimate goal of which was to produce second-generation radios and phased array radars to replace spark transceivers.

Soon after, with the cooperation of the metallurgical department and the machinery department, he finally developed a large ship radio station with a total weight of nearly one ton and a communication distance of more than 800 kilometers, and a land-based large radio station with a total weight of more than 10 tons (including large antennas) and a theoretical communication distance of more than 2,500 kilometers.

Although the previous type of ship radio is still very cumbersome, it is still no problem if it is installed on small and medium-sized ships with a displacement of four or five hundred tons.

The call from Zixia Island on June 29 finally relieved the Red Mansion, and also made the two ladies who had become ** a little more emotionally normal.

Gu Jin and several other old people were very happy, because the safe arrival of Zhu Beiguo's fleet proved their ability, and in the future, everyone was somewhat relieved to hand over the newly built ship to them.

Of course, as the parties concerned, although Zhu Beiguo's voyage was thrilling and dangerous, according to what the brothers told Ren Ke when they made a short stay on Zixia Island, this voyage did make them walk on thin ice.

After all, this is the first time for these people to go on a long-distance voyage alone without any external assistance, and the brothers are the first time that the new daughter-in-law is arrogant, and because there is no radio on the ship, in case something happens, there is not even a means to call for help, if it is like that, in the vast sea, it will be really hanging.

And the brothers think that after all, we are driving a small boat, although the wind and wave resistance of the boat has improved a lot after the transformation, but the boat is a small boat, so don't make too much of it.

So out of prudence, everyone agreed not to take a shortcut across the sea after going to sea, but to take the safest route - along the route when the Nicole and Pride first sailed north, because it is basically a route along the coastline, we can find a bay to take shelter at any time in case of a storm or something, and even abandon the boat directly to go ashore, and there are landmarks along the way, so as not to get lost in the vast sea.

In short, it's better to take a long detour than to get to your destination safely.

Therefore, the distance from the Red Wharf to Zixia Bay was less than 2,000 kilometers in a straight line, and if the normal straight route was sailed, coupled with the hybrid drive of the ship, with the average speed of seven to eight knots per hour of this small sailing boat, roughly calculated, the fleet would be able to reach Zixia Island in seven to eight days at most.

However, Zhu Beiguo Xu Zhi and they actually doubled the voyage, they first took these three sailing ships to the east to the York Peninsula, and then along the coastline to the north, passing through the various places marked on the map, passing through the straits at the top of Weipa and Cape York to the south coast of Papua Island, and then sailing west along the tortuous coastline of Papua Island, and all the way were stop-and-go, cautious, and the daily operation was also sincerely and strictly in accordance with the operation manual sailing, not daring to make the slightest mistake.

Twelve days later, the fleet arrived at the tip of a peninsula at the southwestern tip of the island of Papua, which in the Old World was called Dorak Island.

Here Zhu Beiguo and they recalibrated the landmarks and routes, and when the ocean storm in front of them had just passed, they finally made up their minds, and entered the deep sea in the northwest direction in one go---- God bless, there were no more ocean storms along the way, and the fleet sailed for two consecutive days and one night, and finally on the afternoon of the fifteenth day after leaving the Red Pier, the lookout on the mast excitedly saw in the telescope the big Kai Island in the distance, which has now been renamed Da Zixia Island.

At this time, Zhu Xu, Peng and Hu learned that the "Changfeng Operation" had been fully started and their mission had changed through the telegrams exchanged during this period of time and Ren Ke's narration, so in the evening of the same day, Zhu Xu and the other four sent a telegram to Nicole to ask Sun Lao: They suggested that the initial course of the fleet remained unchanged, and it was still Minado, and after arriving there, it was necessary to look at the situation and strive to obtain the support of Nantian Yizhai, because Huang Xianggu was familiar with the sea conditions of the South Seas, and Shuizhai had three Cantonese hard sailing boats, if they could win the support of Huang Xianggu, It would be in our best interest to ask her to lead these ships north with us to join Operation Changfeng.

Li Sanduo said in the telegram that the Huang Xianggu sisters have been galloping in the South China Sea for many years, and they are very familiar with the sea conditions there.

Immediately after that, the Red Chamber also called, but the message was not about business at all, the content was obviously the tone of the two ladies of Cao Cheng, they said in the telegram, you should be careful along the way, there is neither a radio nor a radar on your ship, you must quickly avoid any abnormal sea conditions, and you are not allowed to pretend to be forced or reckless!

In a word, don't die, don't let the child in your wife's womb be born without a father.

And at the end of the message, there were cruel words said by the two women: If you can't come back with three long and two short, we can only take the child to remarry, let the child have another man's surname, and spend the money you left behind, so you can see if you don't die!

This message made Zhu Xu and the two of them break out in a cold sweat.

Soon Nicole's telegram arrived, and Sun Lao approved Zhu Xu's suggestion that the four of them go to Minado.

Sun Lao said that if the other party is willing to send a ship to accompany you, then sell all the goods and firearms carried by the fleet to Nantian Yizhai, in addition, after Nantian Yizhai's ship participates in the refugee transportation operation, the Australian Federation will pay the freight at the price of two taels of silver per person.

The next step was the timing---- Sun Lao asked Zhu Beiguo's fleet to arrive at Wanshan Island by the end of July, and then leave the Assassin to carry out the duties between Wanshan Island and Macao, and the rest of the ships should immediately be put into the transportation of personnel and materials between the Leizhou Peninsula and Wanshan Island.
