Chapter 72 The Real Supercavitation Technology!
Solway Bay, Bristol Deepwater One.
In the past, it has always been one of the busiest ports in the UK, with ships densely connected and connected.
But now, it is calm here, and there is no shadow of a boat in sight.
However, in mid-air, there were no less than a dozen helicopters, making bursts of roars and circling in the sky.
The hatch of the helicopter opened, and high-definition cameras protruded out, aiming at the bottom below.
At this time, from the other side of the port, two giant transport ships approached slowly.
...
When the two giant ships were approaching, the cameras in all the helicopters were all aimed at them.
The clear picture of this scene was directly transmitted to the exhibition site of the port through these high-definition cameras, and of course, to all corners of the world.
...
Korea, Seoul.
Citizens in various urban areas poured out of their homes and came to various squares, looking at the scene in the live broadcast with excitement.
At the same time, there was a deafening cry, accompanied by a uniform rhythm.
...
Emerald Isle.
All the LED LCD screens inlaid on the wall surface of the Endless Building, all merged into one, and became a live broadcast of Bristol Port One.
On the street below the building, in the "Vertical Forest" skyscraper opposite, on the giant viewing platform of the "Big Funnel", and in every corner of the Emerald Island, all the people on the Emerald Island are watching the live broadcast screen nervously. The upcoming sailing test.
...
At a certain moment, the live broadcast screen suddenly changed to close-up mode, and two LNG ships with similar tonnage appeared in the sight of all the audience.
In this ship expo, Samsung Heavy Industries and Emerald Island have brought their own products, and obviously, the LNG ship among them is the high-end product that best reflects the shipbuilding technology of both parties.
Therefore, there is no doubt that both parties have tacitly selected this high-end marine product, which is regarded as a competitive highland, as the object of the competition.
I am afraid, in the history of world navigation, there has never been such an amazing sight.
Two giant transport ships with a tonnage of nearly 100,000 tons can even become racing ships one day...
However, since this is a sailing test to test the latest shipbuilding technology, instead of making people feel abrupt, it can arouse everyone's expectations.
How much can the so-called "supercavitation", an underwater propulsion technology that only exists in science fiction, make a ship go faster?
In addition, what is the latest technology brought by Emerald Island this time?
These questions in the minds of all the audience have become the main focus of this sailing test.
Finally, when the two LNG ships were seen running side by side and forming two vertical lines on the vast sea, the sound of an order sounded in the live broadcast.
Along with the roaring sound, the power propulsion devices of the two LNG ships started at the same time, like the huge hull of the sea monster, and began to slowly cut through the water and slowly sailed on the sea.
In the beginning, as both ships were just starting out, they were able to keep pace.
However, from a certain moment, the LNG ship from Samsung Heavy Industries suddenly appeared strange, and I saw a sudden violent roar from the stern of its hull.
At this moment, the sea water surface at its tail seemed to have been boiled, and a large number of air bubbles began to emerge.
Between the tumbling water waves, bursts of waves were set off.
From the live TV screen, you can clearly feel the shock brought by the rolling water waves.
In the next instant, a deafening roar sounded, and the LNG ship of Samsung Heavy Industries suddenly spewed huge air waves from the tail, and it moved forward at an extremely fast speed.
The huge hull, after drawing a silver flashing water belt on the sea, left the LNG ship of Emerald Island far behind!
When this picture, through the live broadcast signal, was displayed in front of all the audiences in the world, the whole world was boiling!
"My God! Is this supercavitation technology? It's amazing!"
"It feels like a thruster is added to the tail. Why is the speed so amazing?"
"Samsung Heavy Industries is awesome, my island owner Jiang Da, what are you doing, that ship is really useless except for its cool appearance!"
"Emerald Isle, I am so disappointed..."
"That's right, don't be embarrassed and conspicuous, the owner of Jiang Da Island, go back to the Emerald Island, the so-called technology paradise is nothing more than that."
"After this competition, Samsung Heavy Industries is sure to rise to prominence in the world again. The supercavitation technology is excellent. I hope this technology can be popularized in the world as soon as possible."
...
On the Internet, all the netizens who watched the live video began to express their own remarks one after another.
Most people are expressing their disappointment with Emerald Island. Of course, there are also a small number of rational netizens who show their praise for science and technology.
After all, technology knows no borders. No matter who develops this technology, as long as it can benefit human society, it is worthy of praise.
Compared to the whole world, the criticism of the Emerald Island is overwhelming, but in Korea, there is a lot of jubilation.
"The technology of the Republic of Korea has completely changed the world!"
All Korean nationals, all gave up their jobs and took to the streets one after another to start a parade of joy.
The whole country is full of joy!
However, at this moment, when most people have given up watching the live broadcast, there are still a small number of loyal fans of Emerald Island who are consistently staring at the live broadcast.
Because they are so unwilling!
They couldn't believe that Emerald Island, recognized by the world as a "Technology Paradise", only produced such superficial products to participate in such an important World Ship Expo.
Perhaps because they sensed their inner voices, in the live broadcast at this time, the Emerald Island LNG ship, which was far behind, suddenly had a vision!
I saw that the hull of the ship, which was sailing slowly forward, shook violently.
Although the magnitude of this vibration was small, it was still discovered by sharp-eyed netizens.
Immediately afterwards, a series of shocking scenes that appeared on the Samsung LNG ship and jetting air waves from the stern appeared again!
However, compared to the jet scale of Samsung LNG, the ship on Emerald Island is definitely not in the same breath.
After hearing a sound like thunder, the entire sea seemed to have a shocking tsunami!
In an instant, giant wolves suddenly rose up on the sea surface at the stern of the ship, setting off waves of turbulent waves!
In the next moment, this sci-fi shaped Emerald Island LNG ship, like a fired shell, suddenly broke through the sea water in front of it and sailed towards the vast sea.
In a short period of time, it surpassed the past at a speed several times faster than that of Samsung LNG ships!
At this moment, the whole world fell silent.
