At 9 a.m., the Lishiquyuan area was powered on.
Liu Kai took out the electromagnetic shield and tested it. He found that despite its small size, the shield was surprisingly powerful.
The shielding range reaches a radius of 50 meters.
Only then did I feel relieved enough to go out and quickly arrived at the multi-level parking garage.
The officials were indeed very punctual; they had already delivered a number of diesel tanks and were unloading them into the garage.
Besides Qin Luofei, the leader was also an old acquaintance of Liu Kai: Captain Yu Dalong with a thick beard.
The two were standing outside, methodically directing the unloading of the transport vehicles.
Liu Kai emerged from the dark, multi-level parking garage.
Qin Luofei remained calm, but her right hand reached out towards Yu Dalong, who stood to the side, dumbfounded.
Yu Dalong paused for a moment before recovering his surprise and giving Liu Kai a deep look.
He took out two packs of cigarettes and a lighter from his pocket and reluctantly handed them to Qin Luofei.
Liu Kai had already walked up to the two of them and was filled with curiosity as he watched this scene.
"Secretary Qin, Captain Yu, what are you two playing at?"
Qin Luofei quickly stuffed the cigarettes and lighter into her pocket, unable to hide the smile on her face.
"Hehe, I told you you would appear from the garage, but Captain Yu didn't believe me and insisted on making a bet with me. If he lost, he would quit smoking."
Upon hearing this, Liu Kai glanced at Yu Dalong, whose face was covered in a full beard, with considerable pity.
Asking a heavy smoker to quit is truly cruel.
Yu Dalong accepted his defeat, but a hint of resentment and curiosity still lingered on his face.
Somewhat unwilling, he asked Liu Kai, "Brother Qiu, I've searched the entire garage, but I didn't see any entrances or exits. How did you manage that? Is there a secret passage?"
"Hey! It's just a trivial skill, nothing to talk about."
Seeing that Liu Kai was unwilling to say more, Yu Dalong did not press him further.
He murmured, "Brother Qiu is a man of few words; no wonder he dared to take on two tricky tasks. I'm sure you'll be able to clear the oil platform by noon, right?"
"I wouldn't say it's a sure thing; we'll have to see how things go on the ground."
Hearing their polite exchanges, Qin Luofei stepped forward, suppressing a laugh.
"Captain Yu, why are you so shy? Just say what you have to say. If you're too embarrassed to say it, I'll say it for you."
"Don't talk nonsense, I have nothing to say."
Qin Luofei rolled her eyes at him, then turned to Liu Kai and said, "Captain Yu will also be participating in the mission at noon."
Liu Kai raised an eyebrow.
He subconsciously uttered a polite remark: "Oh? Then I hope Captain Yu will take good care of me."
"Forget it, you're the one who should be taking care of him."
Qin Luofei's merciless words made Yu Dalong blush, as if he wanted to say something.
Seeing her raised eyebrows again, he obediently shut his mouth.
“Mr. Qiu, your missions and Captain Yu’s missions did not overlap.”
"You need to break through the ice all the way down inside the oil pipeline, which is estimated to be about 30 meters below the seabed."
"To prevent the crude oil from freezing again, a heating device needs to be installed inside the pipeline beneath the seabed."
"Captain Yu led his men to drive a small submarine and install heating devices on the outside of the pipes on the seabed from top to bottom."
"Finally, we will install a tidal generator on the seabed."
The task was briefly explained in just a few words.
Liu Kai was puzzled after hearing this: "So, I'm inside the pipe, and Captain Yu is outside the pipe?"
"That's right."
"Then how can you talk about 'taking care'? Besides, Captain Yu has a submarine, so there shouldn't be any problems, right?"
Yu Dalong finally couldn't hold back any longer.
He sighed and explained personally, "It's not that simple. You know the sea has tides."
"Now that the sea is frozen, the energy of the tides cannot be released and will only form more turbulent whirlpools and undercurrents underwater."
"I, Lao Yu, am a man who cares about his reputation, but the mission cannot be compromised now."
"So I earnestly request Brother Qiu to take care of us after we complete the mission and get ashore. If anything happens to me or my teammates, please help us if you can."
Liu Kai understood the difficulties of this mission.
He said, utterly speechless, "Do you really believe I can complete the mission before Captain Yu? That's a submarine weighing several tons! Even if something really happens, I have no way to save it."
"Brother Qiu, you possess extraordinary skills, I, Lao Yu, have faith in you."
"I don't really believe in myself... and for extra tasks, shouldn't I get extra pay?"
As the group talked, five transport vehicles came and went.
It took until noon to finally transport the 32 huge oil storage tanks and neatly stack them in the multi-level parking garage.
The transport vehicle had other tasks and left first, taking the "small" icebreaker with it.
Only a few people were left to guard the diesel fuel, waiting for Liu Kai to return so that it could be handed over.
However, Liu Kai knew that, to put it nicely, they were guarding the place while waiting for the handover.
To put it bluntly, if the mission fails, the official team can promptly reclaim these early-paid rewards.
Liu Kai was very confident in himself and didn't care about the tricks the authorities were playing.
At this moment, Yu Dalong had already lit a campfire on the ice and was cooking a large pot of fragrant potato and beef.
With some pre-cooked rice soaked in hot water, the group simply made do with lunch.
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content and resting for a while, the roar of propellers finally came from the horizon.
Seeing the helicopter rapidly approaching, Yu Dalong stood up and said, "It's time to go."
The helicopter that landed slowly was a small civilian transport helicopter, which could easily seat the three of them.
However, when the people entered the cabin and the pilot pulled the lift lever to prepare for takeoff...
