Chapter 862 The Sea Dragon Palace Set sail
On May 5, at the Tangjiang Shipyard in Nanjiang, there was a sea of ​​people, and countless cameras were aimed at the giant "Sea Dragon Palace" floating on the sea.

Today is the day when the "Sea Dragon Palace" officially goes to sea.

As a "floating island"-style offshore structure, the domestic positioning of the "Sea Dragon Palace" is also quite troublesome.

Is this going to be managed as a ship, or as a "floating parcel"?Or does it exist as a "drilling platform"?

After all, such a large man-made floating object is the only one in the world so far.

The relevant domestic management departments have really made difficulties.

According to the management method of the ship, after the construction is completed, it still needs a lot of steps such as sea trials before it can be officially put into operation.

But strictly speaking, it is not a ship. Its own structure has the ability to float. The "Sea Dragon Palace" constructed of a large number of foam structures can float on the ground even if it turns over or breaks apart. On the sea surface, coupled with its huge hull, ordinary tests may not be suitable.

If according to the land management method, it is destined to float in the territorial waters of other countries, how should it be managed?

Domestically, there are difficulties in acceptance and issuance of qualifications.

However, several countries in Southeast Asia have proposed that the ship can bear the name of their flag country.

They can give the green light all the way without entanglement in various formalities.

As long as this ship can be classified under their nationality!

Not only because of Gu Xiaobai's influence, but also because of the influence brought by such a behemoth.

Later, the country simply turned a blind eye and closed one eye, special affairs were handled specially, and it came no matter how convenient it was.

After all, this ship is really special.

After more than a month of hard work by a special joint team, "Sea Dragon Palace" finally completed all the procedures on May 5 and was ready to go to sea.

After all, time is running out, and there are not a few days left to prepare for the show.

Calculated according to the current time, I am afraid that it will arrive at the performance location in Semarang on the day of Gu Xiaobai Bihai Riding Whale Concert.

If there is any accident on the road, I am afraid I will be late.

After all, its huge size also means that it does not have the ability to sail at high speed, and naturally its speed cannot be increased.

Also because of its characteristics, it didn't bother to install any power system at all.

If it wants to move, it must be towed by a tugboat. In order to control its course, Gu Xiaobai and Tangjiang Shipyard also specially designed a towing group consisting of seven tugboats.

After the traditional "champagne smashing" launching ceremony, everyone stared wide-eyed at how this unprecedented ship sailed.

I saw that compared with it, the seven tugboats, which were as small as small fish beside a whale, touched its edge lightly, or pushed, or pulled, or pushed sideways, trying to push it to move.

Then, someone yelled: "Move! Move!"

Dozens of anchors that went deep into the water were retracted one by one, and seven tugboats of different sizes dragged the "Sea Dragon Palace" slowly turning and moving.

It was just an ordinary movement, but everyone on the shore cheered loudly.

Because of this feeling, it is really shocking.

It's like when a person is riding in a car, looking out the window, he feels that the things on both sides are rapidly retreating backwards.

At this time, the kindergarten teachers will tell you that the movement is mutual. You feel that the houses on both sides are moving, but you are actually moving yourself.

Buildings don't move!
But this time, your teacher will be slapped in the face.

This time, the buildings around me really moved!

You really stood firmly on the shore without moving!

The "Sea Dragon Palace" is probably not just the largest floating object on the sea made by humans.

It may be the largest self-moving thing made by humans.

Just watching it move slowly makes me feel dizzy.

This is a movement against common sense.

Everyone watched it turn and turn...

Then... dumbfounded.

"Why so slow?"

"At this speed, can it reach Southeast Asia next year?"

"I see, Xiaobai said that the Bihai Riding Whale concert will be on May 2021, 5!"

It's no wonder everyone complains so much, it's because the moving speed of "Sea Dragon Palace" is really too slow.

Compared with the huge "Sea Dragon Palace", the seven tugboats are too small, and they have to work hard to resist the huge air and seawater resistance.

Right now, whether it's on TV or on the Internet, there are countless people broadcasting live.

Netizens couldn't help complaining: "Is this really the Sea Dragon Palace? Are you sure this isn't the Sea Turtle? I'm bah bah bah... sea turtle crawling?"

It took a full half an hour for the Sea Dragon Palace to sail out of the small bay where the Tangjiang Shipyard is located.

That's less than a mile away.

Because the Sea Dragon Palace is really too big, with such a long distance, it doesn't feel that the Sea Dragon Palace is much smaller.

At this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed again.

"Wow!"

I saw that above the sea, the "Sea Dragon Palace" began to slowly change its shape.

Those put together, like "waves", bend inwards, forming the shell of the curved eaves of the stands, which are slowly unfolding and turning.

At that moment, it was like a lotus flower blooming above the sea.

It was like a wave, broken up by an invisible force.

Everyone thought it was just a shell, but slowly turned it over, with the concave side facing the direction of the wind, holding the wind firmly.

Then "Sea Dragon Palace" began to accelerate slowly.

"What the hell?"

"I'm going, no!"

"Who said the Sea Dragon Palace has no power?!"

Sea Dragon Palace has power!
Its driving force is the wind!
It's actually a sailboat!
A gigantic sailing ship!

This shape of the Sea Dragon Palace, and its own structure is not strong, so any kind of modern propeller is actually not suitable for the "Sea Dragon Palace", not only uneconomical, but also ineffective.

But it is not all disadvantages, it has advantages!
It has a very large surface area!

Especially with all the shells fully unfolded, the surface area is even greater!
And wind power is a kind of power that does not need to spend money, is energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

Using the excellent hydrodynamic design, it can capture the wind in all directions and convert it into power.

The bottom of the "Sea Dragon Palace" is designed with a very complicated diversion channel, which acts as a "rudder", allowing the Sea Dragon Palace to sail in a certain direction.

By opening and closing some diversion channels, the Sea Dragon Palace can control the direction and control the resistance of the flowing water.

Of course, for more complex direction control, the help of the seven tugboats is needed.

The current Sea Dragon Palace is like a boulder that can use its own inertia to roll down the mountain. It only needs someone to reach out and control the direction.

At this time, the wind force and wind direction were better, and the diversion channels at the bottom of the Sea Dragon Palace were all opened, and the Sea Dragon Palace slowly accelerated to a speed of about 5 knots, and it was half drifting and half sailing, slowly driving away.

(Calvin, that's all for today...)
