One month later.
In Ye Chen's office, he was on a video call with Sun Jiahui.
"Mr. Ye, with the assistance of Huawi Company, communication signals have been fully covered in Nanbo Island and the surrounding waters."
In the video, Sun Jiahui stands on the highest peak of Nanbo Island, with the boundless sea and towering signal towers behind him.
"Very good, from now on you can proceed according to the plan."
Ye Chen nodded and asked with concern, "You must be careful. Have any suspicious vessels been spotted near Nanbo Island recently?"
"Everything is normal. The Chinese Coast Guard has included this area in its routine patrols, so it's very safe," Sun Jiahui said, shaking his head.
"If you sense danger, retreat immediately. If necessary, use laser weapons!" Ye Chen instructed.
"Don't worry, Mr. Ye, I, Old Sun, know," Sun Jiahui replied with a serious expression.
"Alright, I'll be waiting for your victorious return."
After ending the video call with Sun Jiahui, Ye Chen felt slightly relieved. He was a little worried that the Nightmare Squad might be targeting Nanbo Island and discover something amiss.
It now seems that their focus has been entirely on themselves, and they have not paid any attention to the situation on Nanbo Island.
In the past month, several recent projects have made rapid progress, especially the underwater base construction plan that he has been secretly preparing.
The engineering robot parts have been delivered one after another, and the network on Nampo Island has been laid out.
The two types of chips are still being manufactured in the lab, with hundreds produced this month, enough to be installed on engineering robots.
After hanging up the video call, Ye Chen went downstairs to the warehouse, where 200 engineering robots that had already been delivered were densely packed together, with various shapes and sizes.
"Chairman Ye, the task you assigned has been completed. All the engineering machines here have been assembled according to your requirements, and the chips have been installed as well," Zhang Zhiqiang, who was accompanying him, said, leaning forward slightly and pointing to the machinery in front of him.
“Very good. Go arrange for a transport vehicle to get it to Haizhou as soon as possible and hand it over to Sun Jiahui.” Ye Chen nodded and said calmly.
"Okay, Chairman Ye, I'll make the arrangements right away." Zhang Zhiqiang said, turning around and leaving the warehouse.
"Zhizi, connect all the engineering robots."
At Ye Chen's command, the engineering robots in the warehouse turned on their lights and began performing various actions in place.
Looking at the robot in front of him, it performed various smooth movements almost without delay at his command.
Ye Chen was very satisfied; the quantum chip and biochip were indeed extremely effective.
Over the next few days, under Zhang Zhiqiang's arrangement, the robots were packed into 200 containers and transported to Haizhou.
Upon arriving in Haizhou, the goods were loaded onto ten transport ships, which Sun Jiahui personally escorted to Nanbo Island.
However, less than 50 nautical miles from Nampo Island, a sudden storm hit. Except for one ship, the other nine ships listed. Although they did not capsize, all the containers on board slid into the sea.
This serious accident caused quite a stir, and the local maritime authority and Mousse Technology Company formed a joint task force to investigate.
However, the accident occurred in an area above an underwater canyon. These materials sank deep into the seabed and could not be found at all. Fortunately, there were no casualties, which was a stroke of luck amidst the misfortune.
A week later, the working group released its investigation report, announcing that the sudden, localized severe convective weather caused a tornado, which led to the ship listing and cargo loss. This was deemed a natural disaster, thus bringing this serious maritime accident to a close.
......
In an underwater canyon.
The day after the investigation team left, engineering robots on both sides of the canyon were activated, emerged, and swam toward their designated locations.
Soon, these robots were deployed into operation mode and got to work with great enthusiasm.
A deep underwater canyon.
The day after the investigation team left, various robots emerged from the mountain walls on both sides of the canyon.
Using their thrusters, they swam quickly toward their designated destination.
Soon, these robots began their work in an orderly manner, moving steadily and flexibly in the underwater environment, unaffected by water pressure and current.
Their bodies are equipped with various sensors and protective devices to protect them from marine life and minerals, as well as from changes in water pressure and temperature.
Under the unified command of the sophon, these engineering robots had a clear division of labor and carried out various tasks such as pile driving, pipe laying, construction and maintenance in an orderly manner, just like a well-trained army.
Meanwhile, the underwater base began to be secretly constructed.
Ye Chen brought Wang Yuxi to Jiangcheng Airport to welcome Li Muyue, who was coming from Kyoto.
After a month of infighting and negotiations within the Li family, the various leaders reached a compromise.
Actually, the most important thing was the meeting in the Forbidden City a month ago.
After the resolution was leaked, the leaders of the Li family began to take Ye Chen's potential seriously and reluctantly agreed to Elder Li's proposal.
Therefore, Li Muyue was summoned back to the capital, and after another round of bargaining, the trip was finally made possible.
To avoid excessively upsetting the Zhao family, after discussing it with Ye Chen, Old Master Li decided to postpone announcing the news of their engagement.
Although Ye Chen was somewhat unhappy, he reluctantly accepted it after being persuaded by Li Muyue.
Although his current strength seems formidable, it is still insufficient to contend with these top-tier families, and he must sometimes compromise.
At Hangang Airport, a plane from Kyoto slowly landed.
Li Muyue walked out of the airport alone. Facing the bright sunshine, her eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile appeared on her lips, as if she was enjoying the long-awaited sunshine and freedom.
"Mu Yue, over here."
At the VIP exit, Ye Chen saw Li Muyue and his eyes lit up with amazement. He quickly went to greet her.
Li Muyue changed her usual mature and professional attire. Today, she wore a white lace shirt paired with light blue jeans. This combination not only showed off her figure but also made her look more energetic.
Upon seeing Ye Chen, Li Muyue smiled, walked over gracefully, and said softly, "Ye Chen, thank you."
She meant it sincerely. If it weren't for Ye Chen, she might have become a victim of a marriage alliance between powerful families.
"Don't be so polite, we're practically family now," Ye Chen said with a smile.
Li Muyue blushed slightly, then gracefully took his arm and walked outside.
Looking at her stunningly beautiful face, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart. Having a wife like that felt pretty good.
Upon entering the car, Li Muyue greeted Wang Yuxi in the driver's seat without any surprise, clearly indicating that they were not strangers.
"You two know each other?" Ye Chen asked curiously upon seeing this.
"I met Miss Li when I was on a mission before," Wang Yuxi said vaguely, without elaborating further.
Ye Chen looked thoughtful. He had always wondered why, given the abundance of talented men in the Internal Affairs Department, including many more capable male guards, they had chosen a beautiful woman like Wang Yuxi to protect him.
Upon seeing that she and Li Muyue were old acquaintances, he immediately understood.
