According to Lürssen's plan, the Yugege Sweetheart will need to undergo seven to ten days of sea trials, the main sea trial site is in the rough North Sea.The North Sea in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean can be said to be one of the worst sea conditions in the world, and I am afraid that the worst sea conditions on the whole planet are the North Sea, except for the westerly drift belt in the southern hemisphere.The area of the sea, which lies between the British Isles, Scandinavia, Jutland and the Dutch-Thane Lowlands, is not very large, with an area of less than 600,000 square kilometers, and 200,000 square kilometers smaller than the East China Sea.However, because this sea area is located at a high latitude, the westerly wind prevails all year round, and the North Sea is in the position of the polar front hovering north and south, so cyclone activity is frequent, especially in winter, storms often occur, and can form wind waves as high as several meters, or even more than ten meters.Therefore, the North Sea in winter is called the "Devil's Sea" by Europeans.Although it is summer, the sea conditions in the North Sea are also not good, and the wind and waves are the characteristics of this place.However, conducting sea trials in such sea areas 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 phrase is still common in the sea trials of new ships.However, the arrival of Yang Jing's family directly changed Leshun's sea trial plan.Yang Jing just said that Ludwig Müller had nothing to say."
Luther, do you have faith in the yacht you built?
If you are not confident, then the sea trials continue, and if you are confident, then as I said, the sea trials will be carried out at the same time on my return trip!
”How could Ludwig Müller say that he did not have confidence in his own superyachts?
Therefore, he could only follow the plan Yang Jing said, that is, after going to sea from Bremerhaven, he went south along the west coast of the European continent, and then passed through 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, and the Yellow Sea, and finally arrived at the island city of Huaxia Lu Province, with a total distance of more than 130,000 nautical miles, that is, 210,000 kilometers!
This is definitely an ultra-long-distance sea trial!
With the cruising speed of 28 knots, it will take at least 20 days to complete this trip.Of course, if you count the time lost in the middle of the dock for replenishment, or if there is any problem with the ship and the delay needs to be dealt with, it is difficult to say that this trip will come down.According to normal regulations, the Yugege Sweetheart must undergo sea trials before it is officially delivered to Yang Jing, the shipowner.But in fact, as one of the world's leading superyacht manufacturers, Lürssen has almost never found any major problems with their superyachts during the sea trial stage.After all, Leshun built warships in the past!
With Leshun's hundreds of years of experience and technology in building large ships, even though the Yugege Sweetheart is currently the world's largest superyacht, it is honestly not as difficult to build as a battleship or cruiser during World War I and World War II.The difficulty of building the Yugege Sweetheart lies in the interior decoration.As for the structure of the ship or something, in fact, there is not much difference.Therefore, although Ludwig did not dare to say that he was 100% sure that there would be no problems with the Yugege Sweetheart, he was more than ninety percent sure that the ship would be fine.As for Yang Jing, it's even more of a problem.Even if there are some minor problems on the way to China, this superyacht is actually not a big deal.As long as the ship can't sink, it's not a big problem.And then again, even if this superyacht has a big problem, wouldn't there be two helicopters and a submarine on board?
And the ship will always sail no more than 100 nautical miles from the coastline, and even if there is a big problem, the A189 super-medium helicopter alone will keep the family safe.So Yang Jing wasn't worried about anything big going wrong with taking this ship at all.So, under such circumstances, the Yugege Sweetheart took advantage of the incoming astronomical tide to pull Yang Jing's family and Yang Jing's entourage, and under the command of Captain Andre, began to slowly drive north along the Weser River.Because the draft of the Yugege Sweetheart is relatively large, even if it catches up with the astronomical tide, there is a special guide ship in front of this superyacht.The guide vessel was not only tasked with marking the best route for the Yugege Sweetheart to travel in the Weser River, but was also tasked with testing the depth of the water.Fortunately, the astronomical tide had caused the water level of the Weser River to skyrocket a lot, otherwise the big guy would not have been able to sail out of the fifty-kilometer channel.The Yugege Sweetheart moved slowly at a low speed of five knots, and it took five hours to sail out of the Weser River, and finally entered the embrace of the sea.Of course, in the process of driving, this super powerful superyacht also attracted a large number of residents and tourists on both sides of the Weser River, the 212-meter-long superyacht driving in this river, it felt like a mammoth playing seesaw in a kindergarten and after arriving in Bremerhaven, this superyacht also attracted a large number of onlookers, after all, this superyacht is so luxurious, except for the blind and fools, everyone knows that this is a super expensive yacht.After the Yugege Sweetheart entered the North Sea, it was really a fish returning to the seabird and flying into the sky.The sea is the territory of this superyacht!
As soon as he entered the North Sea channel, Captain André ordered the speed of the ship to be increased to the maximum speed.The Yugege Sweetheart has four high-power turbocharged gas turbines manufactured by the famous German TU Engine Company, which can provide the Yugege Sweetheart with a maximum of 1.18 million horsepower, coupled with the unique power propulsion system of the Yugege Sweetheart, which can increase the top speed of this superyacht with a full load displacement of up to 180,000 tons to an astonishing 34 knots!
This speed has surpassed the top speed of the world's second largest superyacht, the Azam, making it the world's largest displacement, largest and fastest superyacht.Of course, there are many luxury yachts in this world with a maximum speed of more than 40, 50 or even 60 knots, and Yang Jing remembers that there seems to be a luxury yacht from the Netherlands that can reach an astonishing top speed of 70 knots, that is, a terrifying speed of nearly 130 kilometers per hour.But those yachts that can travel at more than 40 knots per hour are not even one percent of the size of the Yugege Sweetheart, and even if they run fast, how can they compare with the world's most luxurious superyacht?
The speed of 34 knots is already an almost incredible speed for a super big guy with a displacement of 180,000 tons.You must know that such a large ship can run at such a fast speed, in addition to warships, this is definitely the only existence of scorpion among civilian ships.You must know that the maximum speed of the Kidd-class destroyer with a standard displacement of 7,000 tons and a full load displacement of 9,000 tons is only 33 knots, and the maximum speed of those ocean-going freighters is generally below 20 knots.The highest speed in the sea trial is actually the same as a new car pulling high speed on the highway, which is used to test whether the performance of the engine is stable.Obviously, the four engines from the German TUs are of good enough quality to be in excellent condition at such high speeds.Because it was going to be followed by a sea trial, in addition to the staff of Lürssen, there were also engineers from TU on this ship.The high-quality and stable operation of these four engines also greatly relieved these TU engineers.Since the most central and important engine on a ship is fine, then everything else is trivial.When the Yugege Sweetheart was passing through the sea off Amsterdam, it anchored and docked for a while, and the attendants recruited by Michael Bulke were sent to the Yugege Sweetheart from the port of Amsterdam by a ship, plus the security personnel on board, all the personnel on this ship were fully equipped.Since he was going back to Huaxia, Yang Jing didn't want to serve himself for nearly a month, and all the personnel on the ship were all in place!
Of course, there is no one happier than the two little guys, Taizheng Zheng and Da Lele.The superyacht not only has 36 ultra-luxurious suites, but also a small children's playground, which Gege specially proposed.The 36 ultra-luxury suites are dedicated to the owner and guests, and the small children's playground is dedicated to the children.This yacht is destined to not be used only by Yang Jing's family in the future, if Yang Jing and Gege are willing, if relatives like Gege's family or four masters such as Guo Dabao or Yang Jing want to use this superyacht, Yang Jing will definitely lend it to them.The Chinese people have always liked to go out together as a family, and at that time, children will inevitably be indispensable on board, so it is quite necessary to open up a half-story cabin to build a small amusement park.Anyway, the space of this ship is large enough, you can toss as much as you want, and Yang Jing also has enough financial resources to support such a toss The two little guys are only one year old and two months old, so naturally they can't play with those big toys, but for some inflatable toys, the two of them are very happy.For the two of them, having toys and being accompanied by their parents is the best place in the world.The Yugege Sweetheart crossed the English Channel, then the Strait of Gibraltar, and finally entered the Mediterranean.The huge Yugege Sweetheart sailed smoothly in the Mediterranean, attracting many small and medium-sized yachts.When this superyacht arrived in Cyprus, Yang Jing couldn't help but feel a little emotional, buddy was also a citizen of this country back then, ps: bow and thank "the world's unique" 500 reward, "very lazy fish" 100 reward.
