I built an armada

Zhao Haikuo and others stood behind and stretched their necks to look for a long time, but saw nothing. I didn't dare to squeeze in close to the examiners, and they all felt itchy.

"Haikuo, I just heard Professor Li say that junior brother got 956E out?"

"Real or false? It's impossible! That's 956E. Even the instructor has a headache!"

"How about you go and ask?"

Several people looked at me and I looked at you, but no one dared to say this.

Huang Wei, whose score was only 60 points, shook his head like a rattle.

"The model stage is already very good. When we developed nuclear submarines, we also started with models." Professor Huang looked at the wooden model and said, "Can we go in and take a look?"

Standing at the door, he asked very politely. If it were in another place, he would have rushed in long ago. He also thought about dragging Su Dingping to the National Defense and Armaments Department, so he was naturally more polite.

Professor Li had long been unable to hold back and wanted to go in. At this moment, he heard Zhao Haikuo and others whispering behind him, and his footsteps stopped.

"Colonel Zhang, please take care of things here. The information must not be revealed!"

"Okay, leave this to me!"

Colonel Zhang took out his phone and dialed.

After a while, an officer came in.

"Report to the Colonel, please give instructions!"

"You immediately lead people to surround the laboratory. No one is allowed in or out without my approval! In addition, send another team of people to deal with them..."

Colonel Zhang pointed at Zhao Haikuo and others.

"Adopt high-level confidentiality measures!"

"It's the senior colonel. I'll make arrangements right away."

After giving instructions, Colonel Zhang also walked into the office and closed the door.

Zhao Haikuo and others were immediately confused and could only ask the instructor for help.

"Teacher, what's going on? Did we see something we shouldn't have seen?"

"Huang Wei, shut up! Teacher, I swear, I didn't see anything! I didn't hear anything!"

The instructor was also dumbfounded.

I just came here to join in the fun, but it involves state secrets!

What kind of graduation project did this guy come up with? The specifications are so high!

"Students, don't panic. This is a normal procedure. You go to the lounge with me and wait!"

"Stay in your seat, don't move, don't ask too many questions, just wait quietly."

Arriving at the lounge, the instructor sat directly next to Zhao Haikuo and others, staring blankly at the five large boxes in the distance.

There was something inside that he was very curious about, but he didn't dare touch it.

He was afraid that he would not be able to bear the burden if something happened.

In the office, Professor Li and the other three walked around the 956E model in circles.

"It's exactly the same as in my memory! Dingping, how did you do it? That's amazing!"

Professor Li looked eager. He wanted to pack everything up and take it back to the 335 Research Institute without leaving a scrap of manuscript paper.

"Lao Li, come and see this."

When he heard Professor Huang calling him, he quickly walked over.

After staring at a certain structure for a long time, he suddenly slapped his thigh with excitement.

"Wonderful, why didn't I think of that!"

While the two were discussing each other, Colonel Zhang pulled Su Dingping aside.

"Classmate Dingping, you have made a great contribution this time!"

"Just these things in the room, I will report them when the time comes, and you won't be able to escape with first-class merit alone!"

First-class personal merit?

Su Dingping was excited.

He knew very well how difficult it was to obtain first-class merit in peacetime.

But now, the first-class meritorious service is waving at him.

"Thank you, Colonel Zhang."

"Call Colonel Zhang to get more points? Just call me uncle!"

"uncle."

"Why!"

Colonel Zhang, who had always been stoic, was laughing from ear to ear.

"Dingping, have you ever thought about where you will go after graduation? I am the coordinator of the Naval Equipment Demonstration and Research Center..."

Before Colonel Zhang finished speaking, Professor Li's voice sounded from the side.

"What's going on, Colonel Zhang? You're pulling someone in front of me? He's a student of Zhang Gongnong, he should go to our 335 Research Institute!"

"Old Li, I'm not happy when you say that." Professor Huang said quickly: "Why, is it better to go to our National Defense and Armaments Department than your 335 Research Institute?"

Seeing that the three of them were about to fight, Su Dingping said quickly.

"Three examiners, I haven't decided where to go in the future yet."

"Yes, yes, don't be in a hurry! You must think about it carefully!"

While talking, Professor Li took out his mobile phone and was about to shake someone.

Professor Huang looked wary: "Old Li, what are you doing?"

"Zhang Gongnong must still be scratching his head in the institute at this moment. I have to tell him the good news!"

…

On the other side, 335 Research Institute.

"The data is wrong again! Damn it! Those people in Mao Xiong Country are so good at reverse engineering!" Professor Zhang cursed.

After walking out of the laboratory, he went straight to the dean's office. Funds were burning like crazy, but progress was slow, and he felt that it would not be a problem to continue like this.

As he approached the dean's office, he suddenly saw an old acquaintance.

"Turgenev?"

The other party turned around and looked at him for a while, then said excitedly: "Zhang Gongnong!"

"Old classmate, it's really you!"

"Zhang Gongnong, we say goodbye to the Bear Country. We haven't seen each other for 25 years!"

This person was Zhang Gongnong's classmate when he studied abroad in Mao Xiong Country, and the two had a pretty good relationship.

"When did you come to China and you didn't even tell me!"

As he spoke, Zhang Gongnong took Turgenev straight to the reception room.

"I learned some Chinese from you back then. This time our delegation came to China to discuss cooperation, so I came with you. I didn't expect to meet you here."

cooperate?

Zhang Gongnong raised his eyebrows.

During this period of time, he was busy working from dawn to dusk in the laboratory and had no idea what was happening in the outside world.

"What happened?"

"Your navy plans to continue purchasing two 956Es, but the price may not be acceptable, so we are communicating."

Zhang Gongnong was shocked.

He had no idea about this.

"How many?"

"We want $1.8 billion!"

call--

Zhang Gongnong took a breath of cold air.

The first two ships cost less than 900 million U.S. dollars, while the last two ships cost twice as much!

"Old classmate, you can change your name to 'Butcher's Knife'!"

"956E is worth the price! Your navy needs it now, and it's very urgent, isn't it?" Turgenev said casually, "How is the research progress on 956E?"

Zhang Gongnong looked wary.

"Don't mind. In fact, when you bought the two 956Es, I knew you would definitely study them when you went back. But it seems that things are not going well."

"Turgenev, what do you want to say?"

Zhang Gongnong's expression suddenly changed, and even his title changed.

"We are old classmates, let me tell you everything." Turgenev said: "956E technology is very complicated, especially the one sold to you! You also know that the development of technology is gradual, and you are in the field of warship technology. Broken!"

"There is an old saying in China: He who understands current affairs is a hero! Don't do useless work. It's only 1.8 billion US dollars. It's really not expensive."

Zhang Gongnong understood.

What an old classmate, what I haven’t seen for many years, it’s all nonsense! The other party has been talking sincerely for so long just because of this last sentence!

He looked at Turgenev and spoke word by word.

"We will never give up! It was the same thing with the atomic bomb back then, and it's the same thing now!"

After saying that, he swung his sleeves and walked away quickly, leaving Turgenev with an embarrassed look on his face.
