Lin Dong boarded the submarine.
He was greeted by his old acquaintance, Captain Qin Ling.
Lin Dong felt that after a year of experience at sea, Captain Qin had become more confident and composed.
"Captain Qinling, it's been a long time. You've gotten quite muscular."
Lin Dong greeted him with a smile.
Qinling lowered his right hand from the salute and answered loudly:
"Boss Lin, the deep sea is my battlefield, and I dare not relax for even a moment!"
"Don't be so serious, we've known each other for a long time, let's just chat casually," Lin Dong said with a smile.
"Okay, Boss Lin, please move to the dining room. The late-night snack has been prepared."
Lin Dong nodded slightly.
The two walked one after the other towards the dining hall in the rear of the submarine.
In the darkness, the stealthy Type 633 submarine slowly sank, leaving a trail of bubbles and spray on the surface...
Qin Ling accompanied Lin Dong to have a late-night snack at a restaurant.
The late-night snack was simple: a plate of fried ribbonfish, a plate of cold seaweed salad, a plate of spicy chicken, and a bottle of red wine.
The two ate and chatted about everyday things.
Of course, given Qin Ling's somewhat old-fashioned personality, it was mostly Lin Dong who took the initiative to ask questions.
"Captain Qin, you've been here for over a year, haven't you? Are you getting used to it?" Lin Dong picked up his glass of red wine and took a small sip.
"Thank you for your concern, Brother Lin. I'm used to it as someone who spends so much time at sea."
Qinling answered earnestly:
"Moreover, to serve our Dragon Gang, the submarines spend most of their time cruising in the 1,000-kilometer waters around the island, unlike before when they had to sail far away."
“My family is all on the island, and they have stable jobs and lives. It’s convenient for me to go home on vacation, so it’s great!”
Lin Dong smacked his lips in satisfaction: "I didn't expect Miss Tomoko's arrangements to be so considerate, hehe..."
"Thanks to Miss Zhizi's good fortune, and even more so to Boss Lin's kindness!"
Qinling's eyes were filled with gratitude:
"I never imagined that after retiring from the Qinling Mountains, I would still be able to witness history in my lifetime!"
Lin Dong waved his hand: "Captain Qin, you flatter me. Oh, by the way, I heard from Zhi Zi that you now have more than one submarine under your command?"
"Yes, boss. In the past year, our Dragon Gang has purchased three more submarines."
Qin Ling became very excited when talking about his submarine fleet:
"The ship we are on now is the No. 1 of the Type 633, and I am still the captain."
"In addition, there are two Type 633 ships, which have initially achieved combat capability after training."
"The latest Type 877 submarine we purchased will be commissioned into the fleet as early as next month. Boss, the Type 877 is a Kilo-class conventional submarine, it's awesome!"
Seeing Qin Ling's barely concealed excitement, Lin Dong couldn't help but chuckle: "Looks like Captain Qin is going to upgrade his equipment."
Qin Ling shook his head: "I don't plan to go on the 877. This Type 633 will continue to serve as the command ship."
"Oh? Why?"
"Because... I've gotten used to it."
Lin Dong was speechless: "Comrade Qinling, you're not saying it's because this boat can turn invisible, are you?"
"Well... not entirely. I've really gotten used to it and developed feelings for it." Qin Ling smiled awkwardly.
"Don't worry, Comrade Qinling. Once we get to the island, I'll find some time to make all the other submarines invisible."
"That's great! Thank you, Boss Lin!"
"Thanking me is easy, isn't it? Just drink this glass of wine."
"Um... I can't drink alcohol while on duty."
"Enough talk, just one drink."
"Okay, I'll drink it."
......
Qin Ling smiled foolishly, but his heart was already bursting with joy.
He could almost imagine that in the near future...
How does a pack of underwater wolves, capable of shielding itself from sonar, roam the ocean with unparalleled stealth?
....................................
55 hours later.
The Type 633 submarine arrived at the hidden island, entered the natural harbor, and slowly surfaced.
Lin Dong and Qin Ling stepped onto the bridge together and looked out at the islands ahead.
The morning sun at 8 a.m. warmly shone on the silvery-white sand.
The verdant coconut grove, like a jade-green silk scarf, appears and disappears in the morning mist.
A newly built naval port dock houses three small missile destroyers.
On the deep blue sea, three gray-blue submarine hulls were visible.
Further afield, more than 30 ships and motorboats sounded their horns as they entered and left the harbor...
The harbor has changed so much compared to a year ago!
Lin Dong disembarked at the dock and saw five military Humvees already waiting for him.
Lin Dong returned to the island secretly this time, and not many people knew about it.
"Hello, Boss Lin, I am Li Kangyuan, the interim administrative governor of Longdao City. Welcome home!"
At the head of the convoy, a sharp-looking man in a blue robe took the initiative to greet them.
"Dragon Island City? I almost forgot, it's called Dragon Island now! Hahaha... Great!"
Lin Dong sighed and shook hands with the visitor:
"Li Zhengzhi, let's get in the car first. You can give me a good introduction to the new look of Long Island."
"Okay, Boss Lin, please get in the car!"
After exchanging greetings, the two got into the middle Hummer.
The convoy soon drove onto a wide cement road.
The cement road has been widened considerably compared to a year ago, now boasting four lanes.
The name Dragon Island was suggested by Lin Dong.
Unbelievable! This island city has actually been built – a dream come true!
