Sea trials were the symbol of the completion of a warship. For the ship builders and the people who were going to work on the ship, the trial was a festival. The day before the trial, the dock gate was opened and filled with seawater. Boat 011, which was sitting on the wooden platform, floated on the water and separated from the wooden frame that supported it. After that, he was dragged out of the dock and leaned against the pier.
The officers and soldiers of Boat 011 had left the small building on the dock yesterday afternoon and lived on the boat according to their cabin positions. At eight o'clock, when the sun shone over the harbor, the machine started. The exhaust holes on both sides of the ship's side emitted grayish black smoke, which was blinding and suffocating. After a while, Engineer Lin, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and the relevant engineering and technical personnel from the factory boarded the boat. Captain Li Zuo 'an stood on the podium. He looked around at the people who came up and said to Engineer Lin,""Can we go now?" Engineer Lin nodded. The captain shouted a few commands into the microphone, and Boat 011 roared and left the dock. The sound of the engine rumbled and became louder and louder. The bow of the boat rose out of the water, and the tail of the boat lowered. The two water ripples on the bow of the boat rolled up the white waves, leaving a long waterway on the surface of the sea at the tail of the boat. After a while, Boat 011 flew out of Dalian port, bypassed Sanshan Island, and entered the Yellow Sea.
According to the pre-planned plan, Captain Li steered 011 forward at full speed for a while, then changed gears to the lowest gear, then turned left, then turned right, and then turned slightly. During all the movements, Engineer Lin and all the technicians on board observed the operation of the airship very carefully and made notes. This trial was mainly to test the problems of the machinery and the navigation operation command system. It had nothing to do with the firearms department. Therefore, the gunners did not have any training content. They only served as the weapons and equipment personnel on the ship and went out to sea. At night, when the sun fell into the sea, the boat returned to the shipyard. In the next few days, they would make adjustments based on the problems in this trial flight.
The inspection of weapons was mainly to see if the ship was suitable to install weapons. Would the efficiency of the weapons be comparable? The gunboat sailed to the shooting range at sea far away from Dalian. The gunboat fired with a single cannon, two cannons, and the main and secondary cannons. They had all fired. The technicians recorded all kinds of data.
The meeting room of the Design Institute of Dalian shipyard had been in session for several days. The factory technicians, Engineer Lin, the military representative, Captain Li Zuo 'an, Sergeant Guan, and Sergeant Wang participated in the meeting to discuss the trials that had been going on for the past few days. The meeting agreed that the trials over the past few days were successful. Boat 011's design was reasonable and its performance was good. The factory construction met the design requirements. The construction was fine and the quality was up to standard. There were still some areas that needed to be improved. After the problem was solved, it could be put into service. The meeting decided that 011 would enter the factory again for improvement. The officers and soldiers would then move down from the boat and return to the dock to repair and wait for orders.
On Sunday, some of the soldiers went out to the streets, some slept, some read and studied, and some played chess and poker. At around four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Ah Hui read for a while. Her eyes were a little tired, so she walked out of the house and breathed in the fresh air of the harbor. There was a large warehouse on the east side of the residence. It was very large and was specially used to store import and export materials. On normal days, Ah Hui would not be able to come here. It's hard to say what's going on on the boat. It's too far away. If there's anything, who can look for you? It was Sunday, and she was resting so that Ah Hui could go further away.
He slowly walked around the south gate and walked to the dock on the east side of the warehouse. In the harbor below the dock, the blue sea water was jumping, and fishing boats were moored in the harbor. Three of them were close to each other, with the words "Liao-Changhai" on the bow board. The people on the ship were all on the deck. A tall man called the fishermen to sit at the bow of the ship. In front of the bridge of the middle boat, there was a sign that read," Ocean Island's First Fleet Party."
"Heh, there's a party on the fishing boat!"
Ah Hui found it strange. The party was held in the club's dance hall. How could it be held on a fishing boat? Even poor conditions couldn't hide the joy of the fishermen, Ah Hui thought curiously. On the dock under the east gate of the big warehouse, there was a piece of square wood. Ah Hui sat on it, ready to watch this special party. In any case, there was nothing to do. In other places, such a party would not be able to be seen even if she wanted to. There were six to seven girls and a dozen men gathered on the deck. One of the men was holding a microphone in his hand and was about to speak when a girl walked up to him and said something softly. The man nodded in agreement, then put down the microphone and walked down from the boat. He went up to Ah Hui and said politely,
"Comrade, we are going to hold a party. You are welcome to watch and guide us. Please sit on the boat!”
Ah, so it was the fisherman on the boat. He saw Ah Hui sitting on the dock and specially invited him to board the boat to watch.
However, Ah Hui felt that she was just a small soldier. She was just casually looking at it. How could she guide it? They couldn't board the ship. The men and women on the ship looked at the dock with more than ten pairs of passionate eyes. The man who got off the boat was very sincere and began to hold Ah Hui's hand."Let's go and sit on the boat.”
Ah Hui was very touched by the enthusiasm of the fishermen. This kind of enthusiasm was also the love and respect that the fishermen had for a navy soldier. However, how could Ah Hui have the cheek to sit on the boat openly? How could he refuse? So he said,"
"There's no need to board the boat. I'm very happy to watch your performance, but as a soldier, I don't know if there's anything on the boat later. I'll just watch from the dock.”
When the man saw that Ah Hui was determined not to board the boat and that her attitude was sincere, he said,"Alright then! "You're welcome to watch." He turned around and returned to the ship.
The party began.
The first performance was a female solo. A young lady walked to the front of the driver's seat. She was tall and had a straight and elegant figure. She did not have any accessories. She had short black hair and her face and body were red and black. The island girl's unique skin color showed her health and healthy beauty. The girl nodded to the two people sitting next to her with erhu and began to sing,"
" The moon on the fifteenth day rises in the sky.
Why weren't there any clouds nearby?
I'm waiting for a beautiful girl
Why haven't you come over yet?
If there is no rain in the sky,
Begonia flowers would not bloom on their own.
As long as you wait patiently,
The person in your heart will come back!”
As she sang, her body started to dance. A girl on a fishing boat, a worker, yet her voice was so clear, loud, and sweet. Ah Hui sat on the dock and was fascinated by what she heard. He really liked this song. He couldn't remember where he first heard this song, but it left a deep impression on him. This was a song that he hung on his lips and imprinted in his heart. In the past few years, Ah Hui had heard famous singers such as the Ocean Administration Art Troupe, the General Political Song and Dance Ensemble, and the Art Troupe of the Shenyang Military Region sing this song. However, the song sung by this beautiful fisherman girl was so mellow and rich. Her singing voice jumped and trembled with the undulating waves of the sea. It had a unique flavor and was even more pleasing to the eye. After the girl finished singing, the ship immediately burst into applause. Someone shouted,"Okay, let's do it again.”Some people felt that this song was more suitable for a duet between men and women, so they shouted,"Liu Yang, come out and sing a duet!"
Liu Yang was the robot on the second ship. He was of medium build, had a red face, broad shoulders, and was very handsome. He also sang well and had sung with the girl in front of him before. Hearing the shout, he naturally walked out and stood with the girl. The erhu played and he sang first,"
" The moon on the fifteenth day rises in the sky.
Why weren't there any clouds nearby?
I'm waiting for a beautiful girl
Why haven't you come yet?"
After the girl heard the male voice finish singing, she continued,
"If there is no rain in the sky,
Begonia flowers never bloom on their own?
As long as you wait patiently,
The person in your heart will come over."
The male and female duets were flawless and coordinated so well that the three boats were filled with applause.
Following that was a small chorus of three men and three women singing " A Good Place on Changshan Island." This was a popular folk song in the Changshan Islands of Dalian. It vividly expressed the local customs of the island.
Watching the fishermen's party was a rare enjoyment. In the city, it was easier to attend a gala and watch a performance, especially during the New Year. The General Political Department and the Marine Administration and the art troupe of the military region would come down to perform. It was not difficult to watch the big shots and celebrities. However, it was difficult to watch the fishermen's performance on the boat. One was that there were no art troupes on ordinary fishing boats. Even if there were, you wouldn't know when and where they would perform. How could a soldier see them? Therefore, it was a rare opportunity to meet Ah Hui by chance. Perhaps it was because the rarer something was, the more valuable it was. He even felt that the party on the fishing boat was more interesting and moving than the performances of the big shots. After returning to the boat, Ah Hui's heart was still in a warm and cheerful mood. This joy was deeply etched in his memory. Sergeant Major Guan Hemin asked,"What's the matter? Why are you so happy?"”
Ah Hui smiled and did not answer.
