Chapter 1072 Ultra-long-distance sea trial
According to Leshun's plan, the Yu Ge Ge Sweetheart needs to undergo a seven to ten days of sea test, and the main sea test location is in the turbulent North Sea.
The North Sea in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean can be said to be one of the worst sea areas in Shanghai in the world. I am afraid that in addition to the westerly drifting belt in the southern hemisphere, the worst sea area in Shanghai on the entire earth is the North Sea.
The area of this sea area is not large between the Great Britain Island, Scandinavia, Jutland Peninsula and the Holland Lowlands, with an area of less than 600,000 square kilometers, which is 200,000 square kilometers smaller than the East China Sea in China.
However, because this sea area is located at a high latitude, westerly winds are prevalent all year round, and the North Sea is in a position of extreme fronts and hovering north and south, cyclones are frequently active, especially in winter, storms often occur, and winds and waves up to several meters or even more than ten meters can be formed.
Therefore, the North Sea in winter is called the "Devil's Sea" by Europeans.
Although it is summer now, the sea conditions in the North Sea are not very good, and the wind and waves are the characteristics here.
However, sea trials in such a sea area can expose all the shortcomings of a ship as much as possible. As the lyrics say, how can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain? This statement is still common in the sea trials of a new ship.
However, the arrival of Yang Jing and his family made Leshun’s sea trial plan directly change.
Yang Jing made Ludwig Mueller ask nothing more than just one sentence.
"Luther, do you have confidence in the yacht you built? If you don't have confidence, then continue the sea trial. If you have confidence, then follow what I said, and conduct the sea trial on my return journey at the same time!"
How could Ludwig Muller say he had no confidence in his own superyacht? So he could only follow what Yang Jing said, that is, after going to sea from Bremehafen, he went south along the west coast of the European continent, and then crossed the Mediterranean Sea, the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal, the Strait of Malacca, the South China Sea, the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea, and finally arrived at the island city of Huaxialu Province. The whole journey exceeded 13,000 nautical miles, which is 21,000 kilometers!
This is definitely a very long-distance sea trial!
With the cruising speed of the 28-knot Yu Ge Ge's sweetheart, it will take at least twenty days to complete this trip. Of course, if you want to count the time when the stop is halfway for replenishment, or if there is any problem with the ship, it is hard to say this trip.
According to normal regulations, before the Yu Ge Ge Ge Sweetheart was officially delivered to Yang Jing, the ship owner, it had to conduct sea trials. But in fact, as one of the world's top superyacht manufacturers, the superyachts they produced almost never found any major problems during the sea trial.
After all, Leshun used to build warships!
With the experience and technology of building large ships that Leshun has accumulated over the past hundred years, even though the Yuge Ge Ge Sweetheart is currently the largest superyacht in the world, to be honest, the construction difficulty of this superyacht is even worse than that of the battleships or cruisers during World War I and World War II.
The difficulty of building the Yu Ge Ge Sweetheart lies in its interior decoration. As for the structure of the ship, there is actually not much difference.
Therefore, although Ludwig dared not say that he would guarantee that there would be no problems with the Jade Gege Sweetheart, he was more than 90% sure that the ship would be fine.
As for Yang Jing, it is even more problematic. Even if this superyacht has some small problems on the way to China, it is not a big deal. As long as the ship cannot sink, it is not a big problem.
And then again, even if there are major problems with this superyacht, aren’t there two helicopters and a submarine on the ship? Moreover, the ship will always sail within an area no more than 100 nautical miles from the coastline. Even if there are major problems, the aw189 super medium helicopter alone can ensure the safety of the family.
So Yang Jing was not worried about any major problems when riding on this ship.
So, under such circumstances, the Sweetheart Yu Ge Ge Ge took advantage of the arrival of the astronomical tide and pulled Yang Jing's family and Yang Jing's entourage, and under the command of Captain Andre, he began to slowly drive north along the Weiss River.
Because the draft of the Yuge Ge Ge Sweetheart is relatively large, even if it catches the astronomy tide, there is a special guide ship in front of this superyacht. This guide ship not only needs to mark the best route for the Yuge Ge Ge Sweetheart to the Weiser River, but also bears the responsibility of testing the water depth.
Fortunately, this astronomical tide caused the water level of the Weiss River to soar a lot, otherwise this big guy would not be able to drive out of the fifty-kilometer-long river.
The sweetheart Yu Ge Ge slowly walked at a low speed of five junctures, and took five hours to drive out of the Weiss River and finally entered the embrace of the sea.
Of course, during the driving process, this super mighty superyacht also attracted the appreciation of a large number of residents and tourists on both sides of the Weiss River. The 212-meter-long superyacht driving in this kind of river feels like a mammoth playing on a seesaw in a kindergarten...
After arriving in Bremehalfen, this superyacht also attracted a large number of people to watch. After all, this superyacht is too luxurious. Except for the blind and fools, everyone knows that this is a super expensive yacht.
After the Jade Ge Ge's Sweetheart entered the North Sea, it was really like fish returning to the sea and birds flying to the sky. The sea is the territory of this superyacht!
As soon as he entered the waterway of the North Sea, Captain Andre ordered the ship's speed to be increased to the highest level.
The Yuge Ge Ge Sweetheart has four high-power turbocharged gas turbines manufactured by the famous German Mtu Engine Company. These four engines can provide the Yuge Ge Ge Sweetheart with a strong power of up to 118,000 horsepower. Coupled with the unique power propulsion system of the Yuge Ge Ge Sweetheart, the maximum speed of this superyacht with a full load displacement of up to 18,000 tons to an astonishing 34 knots!
This speed has exceeded the highest speed of the world's second largest superyacht, the Azam, and has become the world's largest superyacht with the largest displacement, largest size and highest speed.
Of course, there are many luxury yachts in this world with a maximum speed of more than 40 knots, fifty knots or even more than 60 knots. Yang Jing remembers that there seems to be a luxury yacht from the Netherlands that can reach an astonishing seventy knots, which is a terrifying speed of nearly 130 km/h.
But those yachts with speeds of more than 40 knots are not even as big as one percent of the size of the Jade Gege Sweetheart. No matter how fast they run, how can they compare with the world's largest luxury superyacht?
The speed of 34 knots is already an almost incredible speed for a super guy with a displacement of 18,000 tons. You should know that such a large ship can run at such a fast speed, besides warships, this is definitely the only existence of scorpion shit among civilian ships.
You should know that the standard displacement is 7,000 tons and the maximum speed of Kid-class destroyers with a full load displacement of 9,000 tons is only 33 knots, while the maximum speed of those ocean-going cargo ships is generally below 20 knots...
When the four huge turbocharged gas turbines in the engine compartment were running at full power, the huge Yu Ge Ge Ge's sweetheart burst out with an unprecedented speed. Even though the sea conditions in the North Sea were not good, the superyacht still sailed at its highest speed for a full three hours before slowing down.
The highest speed navigation in the sea test is actually the same as the new car pulling highways on the highway, which is used to detect whether the engine's performance is stable. Obviously, the four engines from the German Mtu have good enough quality. In such high speed driving, the four engines are still extremely stable.
Because we had to follow the sea test, in addition to the staff of Leshun, there were also engineers from Mtu on this ship. The high-quality and stable operation of these four engines also made these Mtu engineers feel relieved.
Since there is no problem with the most core and most important engine on a ship, everything else is a trivial matter.
When the Jade Gege Sweetheart was passing through the coast of Amsterdam, it landed on the anchor and docked for a while. The waiter recruited by Michael Burco was sent from the Amsterdam port to the Jade Gege Sweetheart by a ship. In addition to the security personnel on the ship, all the personnel on the ship were fully equipped.
Since she was going to return to China, Yang Jing didn't want to serve him for nearly a month, and all the personnel on the ship should be equipped in place!
Of course, the happiest thing is the little guys Da Zhengzheng and Da Lele.
This superyacht not only has thirty-six super-luxury suites, but also a small children's amusement park, which was specially proposed by Gege. The thirty-six super-luxury suites are specially prepared for ship owners and guests, while the small children's amusement park is specially prepared for children.
This yacht is destined to be used by Yang Jing's family in the future. If Yang Jing and Princess are willing, if the relatives of Princess, such as Guo Dabao or Yang Jing, want to use this superyacht, Yang Jing will definitely lend it to them.
Chinese people have always liked to go out together, and children will inevitably be indispensable on the ship, so it is still necessary to open a half-story cabin to build a small amusement park.
Anyway, the space of this ship is large enough, so you can do whatever you want. Yang Jing also has enough financial resources to support this kind of struggle...
The two little guys are only one year or two months old, so naturally they can't play with those big toys, but for some inflatable toys, they are having a lot of fun. For them, having toys and parents with them is the best place in the world.
The Jade Gege Sweetheart successfully passed through the English Channel, then through the Strait of Gibraltar, and finally entered the Mediterranean.
The huge Jade Gege Sweetheart was sailing smoothly in the Mediterranean, attracting the attention of many small and medium-sized yachts. When this superyacht arrived in Cyprus, Yang Jing couldn't help but feel a little moved. My buddy was a citizen of this country back then...
