Chapter 213: Chapter 166 "Professional Construction"_2"Is it recognized by the state?" "It doesn’t need state recognition; as long as our Police Station recognizes it." "What major did he study?" "He studied electromechanics. Once he gets his diploma, we’ll send him to our alma mater for the Third-level Second Chief Engineer training. Captain Wang will personally teach him how to maintain the machinery - hands-on practice will definitely not be an issue. As for qualifications in maritime services, we have our own ships, so that’s not an issue either." In the midst of the conversation, Old Zhang had already maneuvered the 002 to its berth beside the Dunship. Han Yu looked up and was startled. Liang Xiaoyu was actually hobbling out to meet them, supported by Old Qian, with the aid of crutches. His foot was exposed, swollen and purple, even oozing pus. "Xiao Yu, what happened to your foot!" "Salted fish, I... I was bitten by a snake." S~eaʀᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "What snake bit you, and where were you bitten?" Liang Xiaoyu scratched his neck, looking embarrassed, and said: "A few days ago when I went back to see my mom, my dad saw someone else catching eels with a long bamboo trap and he made dozens of traps. I was helping him collect the traps in the morning and was too busy, accidentally got bitten by a snake." Han Yu was completely confounded, climbing aboard the Dunship to ask, "Last time it was food poisoning, and this time you’re bitten by a snake. How come something happens every time you go back home!" "I won’t go back anymore." "Don’t say nonsense, you’re the only son of your parents, how can you not go back?" Xu Sanye glared at him, admonishing, "You should still go back and check on them, but be more careful in the future. Don’t eat what you shouldn’t, and don’t do what you shouldn’t." "Yes." "Go back to your dorm for now; don’t run around if your foot hurts." "Oh." The Third Team of the Port Supervision Bureau still has three people. Besides Director Jin who joined, there were two staff members: Old Qiu who couldn’t make it last year due to an appendicitis, and Old Huang, a demobilized soldier placed in the Port Supervision Bureau last year. Old Huang was a volunteer soldier in the military (equivalent to a non-commissioned officer nowadays), learned to drive before demobilization, and now drives the jeep assigned to the Third Team by the Port Supervision Bureau. After some pleasantries, they put the luggage in the dormitory, and followed the Director and Old Zhang to the command and dispatch room on the second floor. Xu Sanye opened the safe, proudly pulling out a stack of certificates. "Salted Fish, see this? This is my Seaman’s Certificate, this is the Seaman’s Service Book, and these are my Four Small Certificates, as well as those of Old Li, Old Zhang, Captain Wang, Zhu Baogen, and Master Zhou." "You all have big certificates!" "Our Police Station was established around this time last year, and 001 and 002 were commissioned then too, meaning we all have twelve months of maritime service qualifications." Xu Sanye flipped through five or six certificates like dealing cards, hehe smiling and saying, "This is the Fifth-class Pilot Certificate, Old Li, Old Zhang, Baogen, and I now all have the qualifications to operate 002. By this time next year, we will have twenty-four months of maritime service qualifications and can apply for the Fifth-class Navigator certification, upgrading from Mechanical Driver to Navigator." Inland River Crew Certificate, Seaman’s Competence Certificate, Seaman’s Service Book, Basic Safety Training Certificate, Lifeboat and Rescue Boat Training Certificate, Firefighting Training Certificate, and Emergency First Aid Training Certificate... All the big and Four Small Certificates required by inland river crew members can be found here. While browsing through them, Han Yu chuckled and asked, "Director Xu, what about the Mechanical Engineer for the 001?" Without waiting for Xu Sanye to speak, Old Zhang sat down with a smile and said "Baogen and I are learning. It’s always good to have more skills, having only the Fifth-class Pilot Certificate isn’t enough. But the exam for Third-level Second Chief Engineer is a bit troublesome; at best, we’ll have to wait another two years before we can get the Competence Certificate." "Two years is two years, just take the exams slowly." Xu Sanye laughed heartily, took out his own Seaman’s Service Book proudly and said, "In another two years, I will have thirty-six months of maritime service qualifications, and will have acted as the helmsman on a Third-level Vessel for a full eighteen months. By then, I can take the exam for the third-level second officer. Then I can go on to become the Chief Officer, to become the Captain!" Han Yu didn’t expect the Police Station to become more and more professional, and he couldn’t help but laugh and say, "Director Xu, it looks like you’re planning to steal my job." "I’m not stealing your job, I’m just worried that others, seeing our success, may come to steal our rice bowl." "People are jealous of us?" "It’s easy to get third-level merit for saving someone onshore, but here in our place, saving a person or two is nothing special; you could even say it’s a routine affair." Xu Sanye pointed to the 001 moored beside the Dunship, laughing, "Whenever there’s a danger in the North Branch Channel, people come to us for help. Plus, assisting the Port Supervision Bureau with rescue missions, we’ve saved over a dozen people who fell overboard in the past six months, and assisted five or six ships. Last month, with the typhoon and flooding, we played a huge role. Captain Wang, Zhu Baogen, and I were the first to rush to Longyong Town, helping the Longyong Town Government and Longyong Police Station with the emergency rescue. Inland river flooding was severe too; Old Li and Old Zhou took 002 into inland rivers for rescue missions. As long as 001 and 002 are here, and as long as we can steer the ship, there are more meritorious deeds than we can claim. Director Yang and those fence-sitters don’t even know how to allocate awards and accolades anymore. Don’t you think units like ours that can achieve so much would make others envious, wanting a share of the glory?" Other Police Stations find it tough to achieve such results, but at Yanjiang Police Station, it’s quite easy. Han Yu realized this and couldn’t help but ask, "So what do we do?" "Easy." Xu Sanye pointed to the various certificates all over the table, laughing heartily, "If they want to come here to gain experience, it’s not impossible, but they have to start as apprentice sailors. Only after fulfilling the maritime service qualifications and obtaining the corresponding certificates, can they truly become a member of our Yanjiang Police Station."
