Chapter 290 Taking the Aircraft Carrier as the Standard

At night, the sea breeze becomes colder.

The three yachts are fixed in a row with iron hooks, which is convenient for everyone to play back and forth.

On the "King Charles" in the middle, Li Zitao is performing authentic Huaguo grilled fish.

Zi la la——

The oil stars splashed, and the long strips of fish were grilled into a light yellow color, which looked very beautiful.

The aroma of fish was wafting, and the girls who were tired from playing were lying on the deck, looking forward to the grilled fish fillets from Charlie Lee Mamat.

"Okay, let's taste it." Li Zitao put the six pieces of fish side by side on a plate, and asked the girls to pass them around for tasting.

"Damn, this tastes great." The girls who had eaten looked at him in surprise.

"You can't do this, even if Charlie is rich, he likes honest girls." Lawrence forked a piece of fish with disbelief, and bit it open.

"—Charlie, you should be a cook, oh my god, what a loss to the culinary world, they are so delicious."

Lawrence went even further, making the girls laugh.

Li Zitao tasted it himself, and the taste was not bad. The fish pieces were simply marinated with white wine and spices, and matched with the sea salt taste of the fish itself, it was very fresh.

But he seems to have been roasted a bit, and foreigners prefer the taste of fish juice.

"I'll show you a fish stick." Holding a dagger-sized fish knife with a thinner blade, Li Zitao swung it quickly at the half-hanging fish.

Pieces of transparent, two-finger-wide fish fillets fell on the plate like snowflakes, which really shocked everyone.

"Try it." Soy sauce, brewed without additives, is absolutely authentic.

Add two drops of brandy and lemon juice to it, this meeting is not so particular, pick up a piece with your hand, use the corner to dip a little in the dipping material, and put it in your mouth.

It's delicious, it's much more delicious than what he baked.

Fresh, tender, juicy——

Li Zitao, who whetted his appetite, jumped into the water regardless of everyone's obstruction, searching for his lobster and crab.

In the end, he really let him find two king crabs, even the crab legs were almost 80cm long.

Six eye-spotted lobsters with a length of 40-60cm, also called Florida lobsters, and shells that are no smaller than a palm.

A feast of sea and sky turned into a feast of seafood in the end, and it didn't end until early in the morning.

In the cabin on the lower deck, on the sofa, the girls were lying casually.

There are also some cabins that enter the bottom layer, hehehe——

Swimming, diving, sea fishing, sunbathing, I live a leisurely life without worrying about anything.

Happy times always pass quickly.

Unknowingly, the scheduled 5-day sailing day was extended to 7 days, and everyone reluctantly returned to the pier.

"Charlie, I heard you're collecting pocket watches?" On the way back, the three of them lay lazily on the upper deck, chatting casually.

"Personal hobbies, what news do you have?" Whether it is playing watches or playing watches, it is a hobby for Li Zitao.

For example, during this sea journey, he received an exquisite 'Ava' watch.

"John Harrison, have you heard the name?" Lawrence asked.

"No." Li Zitao really didn't know.

"He designed the first pendulum clock for nautical precision timing and the first pocket watch for precise nautical timing. That pendulum clock is still kept in the Royal Observatory of Country Y."

"Are they interested in selling?" Li Zitao sat up.

"The historical significance and commemorative value of that pendulum clock cannot be measured by money." Lawrence rolled his eyes and said.

If you don’t sell it, then talk about a dick!

Li Zitao lay down again in a dispirited state, when he continued, "But it's marked as H4, and the first HNA pocket watch made by him is here with me."

"How much, I want it." Li Zitao didn't hesitate.

The commemorative value of this thing is really immeasurable. According to Li Zitao's estimation, this watch will bring down the 21st century, and it will be sold enough to exchange for a courtyard house.

The first in history, by a master craftsman who left his name in history,

Handmade by myself, and there is only one piece in the world, there is no semicolon.

According to Lawrence, the time accuracy of this nautical watch can reach 1 second per day.

200,000 dollars, Li Zitao found clothes on the spot and handed him the check.

"From now on, as long as there are watches with commemorative value, I will take them all." Li Zitao wrote a check, and did not forget to tell his two friends that he was keen on playing watches.

"I know that Mellon's family has a unparalleled watch." Lawrence winked triumphantly.

"I'll take care of the next party." Li Zitao resisted the urge to beat him up.

The surprise was huge, Breguet, number 160.

A self-winding perpétuelle reed watch with date display, ordered by Queen Mary of Country F in 1783.

It took 44 years to complete, and each process represents a legend. A total of 37 craftsmen participated in it.

"In this world, no one can make a more perfect pocket watch." Lawrence smiled treacherously, and he successfully aroused Li Zitao's interest.

But there is one thing he 'forgot' to say that this pocket watch is a treasure of the Mellon family, and it is not so easy to buy it.

Li Zitao, who was wondering how to get it at sea, consciously and selectively forgot its existence after landing.

As one of the most important collections of the family, it is impossible for him to sell it.

It's better to wait for the opportunity to talk about it, for example, give Lawrence a gift he can't refuse at the wedding, and then leave the problem to him to solve.

Lawrence, who had just cheated Li Zitao, didn't know that the other party was planning how to move the trick to his feet.

After playing and playing, of course we have to do something formal next. The three of them visited the Lee C. Astor Shipyard together.

The dock looks bigger and more complicated than the Brown Shipyard where the Queen Mary is being built.

"The original design of the dock was built according to the specifications of an aircraft carrier." Jonathan's eyes were full of ambition.

Since 1918, country Y first proposed the concept of an aircraft carrier and began to build the Hercules. RB's Fengxiang was launched first.

The world started the aircraft carrier construction competition, and then put forward the aircraft carrier formation, and entered the vigorous military competition.

In 1925, the U.S. Navy's first fleet attack aircraft carrier transformed from a battlecruiser.

They are the launch of the second ship of the Lexington class, the USS Saratoga (USS CV-3 Saratoga), on April 7.

On October 3, the first ship of the same class "Lexington" (USS CV-2 Lexington) was launched.

"Because of the Washington Navy Treaty signed by various countries, the Navy currently only has 69,000 tons left to build new aircraft carriers,

With the advent of the Great Depression, Congress has been reducing military funding to reduce domestic economic pressure, but it seems that it will not be needed in the short term. "

Lawrence calmly analyzed from the side, although Jonathan's positioning of the dock is still affirmed, although it cannot produce benefits for the time being.

The future is dominated by aircraft carriers. Anyone who knows something about the military can see the independent operations, mobility and powerful strike power of aircraft carriers.

In this era, no one understands the importance of future aircraft carriers better than Li Zitao.

"Research on aircraft carriers is carried out in advance, regardless of investment and cost." Technical reserves are the most precious wealth, and Goddess of Luck will only favor the lucky ones who are prepared.
