This time, apart from the one that Old Ke took away, the entire Black family, including the adopted daughter, will be going to Marie.
Puppies begin basic military dog training 3 to 4 months after birth, gradually increasing in intensity and being weeded out until they are 18 months to 2 years old and officially enter service.
As an important member of the training team, dog trainer Daniel could not stay at headquarters.
Therefore, it is necessary to bring all the puppies with you for training.
As for Mimi, she can learn how to catch mice after she's weaned. There are plenty of mice in the desert. If you don't have a cat, you can raise a cheetah instead.
The boss thinks like this: dogs are for guarding the house, cats are for catching mice, and only koi and arowana are for seeking wealth.
Whether it's for practical use or feng shui, it has to be useful.
"Sergeant, the boss and the others are here."
Kohler has good eyesight; he has already spotted the St. Paul.
"Everyone get ready to board in order. 03 and ii, you take the BMW and Mini first."
Kuhn picked up the megaphone and shouted to everyone.
Besides the Malinois family, the two donkeys from Jihuo Defense were the main force on this trip to Mali, with each of the two data teams responsible for one.
Coincidentally, the donkeys were directly managed by the machine gunners of each group.
Perhaps it's because machine gunners are generally strong and have a strong presence; with them involved, it's less likely that lazy workers will slack off and be lazy in their work. They are all quite proactive in their tasks.
Soon the São Paulo docked, and on the gangway in the harbor, 03 and ii led two donkeys onto the ship.
Daniel followed closely behind, carrying a pet carrier in each hand, filled with kittens and puppies. Big Black, meanwhile, leisurely led his wife onto the ship; he was the most familiar with the St. Paul among the animal employees.
They will be housed in a spacious hangar, and to maintain the company's electricity and water needs, Xia Yu has also started up a diesel auxiliary machine for generating electricity and boiling water.
It's fine for supplying living quarters and hangars, but it struggles a bit with powering the elevators, though we don't really need them anyway.
The equipment, vehicles, and containers for the fire defense were all hoisted onto the ship and placed directly on the deck. At most, a waterproof tarpaulin was placed over the tanks and infantry fighting vehicles.
An enclosed hangar is naturally a better environment, but the elevators that Taiwanese people upgraded in the 1980s only have a load capacity of a little over 30 tons.
The same applies to the Americans; the Nimitz-class tank elevators have a load limit of only 47 tons, which is too heavy for most main battle tanks.
Or to put it another way, pulling tanks is the job of tank landing ships, not aircraft carriers.
Once all personnel, equipment, and supplies were loaded onto the ship, the São Paulo, towed by an ocean-going tugboat, left the port and slowly sailed towards the Curve of Gineya.
Finally, they set off. Only Alvin and Wang Kai remained as employees in the village. They would officially move to the new location after the advance team arrived, which would take about two weeks. After all, it was more than 2,000 nautical miles from Kongluga to Konak, the capital of Genesia, and the towed boat was slow. It would definitely take more than two weeks to get there.
The shipping time is even longer in Guangdong Province, China, which is more than 12,000 nautical miles away. Even with high-speed container ships, it would take a month to cruise at economic speed. Therefore, only large items from Xiayu are shipped by sea, and those in a hurry are shipped by air.
"beep"
The sound of the tugboat's horn brought him back to his senses.
I glanced at the time; it was about time to head back.
Xia Yu left his captain's cabin and walked toward the little antelope on the deck.
"Splash splash"
It took off, turned around, and headed back in the direction of departure.
"What a busy person!"
Watching Xia Yu's departing figure, Liv, who had just covered the weasel K1 with a waterproof cloth, muttered to herself.
But then I thought to myself, if he weren't so busy, his business wouldn't be so successful!
Xia Yu was busy with something unrelated to his career at the moment; the cave branch base was more of a backup, a backup he hoped he would never need.
Just like Cheyenne Mountain in the United States, those air-raid shelters in his hometown, even if they are not used very often, still require continuous investment of resources.
Xia Yu wouldn't have gone to such lengths if he didn't have a system, but the only cost would be some system time. As for his personal time, it wouldn't be a big deal to spend a little bit.
The plane nose dipped downwards and disappeared into the mountains and valleys, while the little antelope landed steadily on the platform outside the cave.
Without a driver assistance module, Xia Yu has to do everything himself – takeoff, driving, and landing – which feels a bit like extreme commuting in a big city. Fortunately, he can drive with his eyes closed in the middle, but landing is a bit more troublesome.
Riding a two-wheeled electric scooter, Xia Yu quickly passed through the cave and arrived at the tunnel entrance, which was still under construction at the end.
The nearly 100-meter-long body of the Bella tunnel boring machine is completely submerged in the rock face. The 290-meter section from the starting point to the still-under-construction site has been completely cleared, the tunnel segments have been laid and secured, temporary lighting equipment has been installed, and there is even a track on the ground.
This is similar to the Hive, but this track only carries people as a side function; its main purpose is to transport carrier-based aircraft to the catapult/interception section for takeoff and landing.
Once Xia Yu's specially customized motorcycle arrives, it will be operational. Later on, he also wants to upgrade it with a rotating function, which would be even cooler.
Switching to a unicycle, Xia Yu rode directly along the railway tracks to the construction site.
He first collected the pile of rock fragments into the storage silo, then printed new tunnel segments and concrete mortar with a single click before heading to the control room.
Under overload conditions, the alloy-made hobbing cutter experiences significant wear, and the main drive bearing, reducer, hydraulic valve group, and power control system also suffer varying degrees of damage.
No one is watching over things 24/7. Even if some minor problems arise, as long as things can continue to move forward, no one will bother with them, which leads to more problems.
Without a system, it's a waste of resources; but with a system, it becomes an efficient way of operating.
"Get ready!"
Xia Yu directly opted for maintenance, giving the heavy oil boiler and steam turbine a major overhaul as well, and the equivalent propulsion speed returned from a reduced 9m/day to a full-health 12m/day.
He laid shield tunnel segments and poured concrete mortar on the 17.3-meter section that had been advanced over the past 40 hours, and he can complete 80% of the tunnel excavation within two days.
The remaining few days were enough for him to dig out two "side chambers" on the left and right sides near the cave entrance to house the main engine and fuel storage.
The 1,000-ton oil storage tank may be a bit small, but it's not too late to expand it when needed. However, the laying of the steam pipeline needs to be expedited.
Xia Yu's ultimate monster has been modified and is just waiting for the steam catapult to be installed so that it can be launched to see how much its performance has been improved.
Returning to the cave along the tracks, he released the F-4J(FV)S from the hangar.
The ultimate ghost, painted in dark gray, is currently in a folded-wing state, like a sleeping iron bird waiting to be awakened by its master.
Looking at the chrysanthemum, the tail nozzle, which originally looked rather ugly and cute, like an owl, now seems much sharper due to the change in the overall shape of the tail fin.
By the way, we still don't know which type of aero-engine will be replaced with the original J79-GE-10!
Xia Yu found the maintenance manual that came with the system in the rear compartment, which explained how to disassemble the engine.
Actually, there's no need to disassemble it; it's all pre-prepared. But if you want to see the true appearance of the aero-engine, you can take it apart to see it more closely.
After removing a few key screws, Xia Yu put the unlocked engine into the parts storage and then placed it on a clean trolley.
Looking from front to back, the first-stage fan blades have a very large area, which is typical of turbofan engines. Combined with the dual-duct design that is quite different from turbojet engines, it is undoubtedly a turbofan engine.
To find out the specific model, Xia Yu opened his tablet and pulled out some stored photos and videos.
The details are 90% similar to those of the F110-GE-400, which is the naval version of the F110-GE-100.
So this is a Goblin-themed custom F110?
Xia Yu felt a surge of excitement. The F-14B and F-14D both used the same F110 engine, the same engine used in his Super Phantom, plus the same variable-sweep wing design—wouldn't that make it practically a Phantom Cat?
That might not be enough, after all, the F-14A used the TF30-PW-412 and TF30-PW-414, and the Persian Cat also used Russia's AL-31F after its engine inventory was exhausted (this is questionable, but let's assume it's true in a parallel world). The same fighter jet can be adapted to different engines.
As for how much combat power different combinations can unleash, it depends on two things: training and compatibility.
If the Super Phantom doesn't change its swept wings, replacing it with an F-110 would actually be a hindrance. After the major overhaul, it becomes a perfect match, complementing each other.
It's a pity he can't play it now, otherwise he would definitely go up to the sky and try it.
Xia Yu thought to himself as he put the F110-GE-400-Phantom back in.
However, even with a new engine, the Super Phantom will not be able to supercruise, since the F-14B and F-14D, which are equipped with the same engine, have never cruised at supersonic speeds.
Xia Yu remembered that only the Super Tomcat 21 project, which died in the womb like the Ultimate Ghost, could achieve supersonic cruise capability of Mach 1.3 by replacing the engine with a more powerful F110-GE-129.
It can fly at 1.3 times the speed of sound without afterburner. It may not be as fast as the Raptor, which can fly at Mach 1.8, or the Veyron from my hometown, but it's still impressive enough.
If Xia Yu has the chance to get an F-14, he must upgrade it to a Super Tomcat 21; he can't just have a Super Hornet.
Furthermore, the modified supercruise aircraft is also a supercruise fighter. Having one of these aircraft will allow for more technological reserves when modifying it into a supercruise Phantom F-4X. All of these are interconnected.
After confirming that there was nothing more for him to do, Xia Yu left the cave branch base and flew back to Bogo Village for dinner.
This is the kind of treatment only the boss can enjoy. Because Hans, the head chef, is not on the São Paulo, tonight's dinner sounds like Mariano will be cooking Italian pasta.
With the addition of Baiweilai's tomato basil sauce and classic beef sauce, Xia Yu, who was used to eating "fine bread," shook her head in disbelief.
Spicy noodles with braised pork intestines, isn't that delicious? Spaghetti has to be made by a professional chef to have that right feeling. He thinks instant sauces are not as good as eating instant noodles directly.
After finishing the bowl of noodles with more side dishes than noodles, Xia Yu pushed the bowl away and put down her chopsticks.
He took the homemade late-night snack that Lao Yu had just prepared and took off in the thick of the night, flying towards the still-moving São Paulo.
After dinner, Liv didn't go back to her room, but instead took her satellite phone and went to the bridge.
She also likes to eat delicious food, but if there isn't any, she can only make do and just fill her stomach.
I called my mother and talked to her about my and my brother's work here, and also inquired about the renovation of our ancestral home.
Although several months have passed, the workers are not very efficient and have only finished the roof so far.
That's still better than Xia Yu. In order to ensure the smooth opening of the museum, coupled with the antique and military orders that followed after the opening, he was too busy to care about this matter.
He didn't have time to call home, but luckily his parents knew he would definitely be going home for Chinese New Year this year, so they didn't worry too much.
Although video calls are possible, Xia Yu has been away for several years now. Back then, Old Xia only visited once every two or three years, and his son's visits were even more infrequent.
"Okay, Mom, I'll call you again in a couple of days. Take good care of yourself."
After chatting for about half an hour, Liv finally hung up the phone. Should she call her brother?
"Splash splash"
Just as she hesitated, the sound of a helicopter came from afar; Xia Yu had returned.
Let's not fight!
…………
In a military camp somewhere in the Middle East, Hans, who was looking forward to a call from his family, was a little jealous because Domi, who was in the bunk next to his, received two phone calls.
One was his friend Kolon, and the other was his father, Old Doma.
Zhu Zi started earning a salary at the museum, not to mention that Xia Yu specially provided him with a satellite phone for easy communication, so he only needed to pay a package fee himself.
Domi is the second richest man in the company after Hans, so it's no problem for him to provide his father with a telephone, which is why people come to chat with him every day.
People aren't afraid of anything except comparisons. Hans, who had no one to support him, was thus overshadowed.
Liv had no idea that her brother was having so many thoughts, but what could she do when the boss came back?
As Liv leaned on the railing and watched Xia Yu get off the helicopter, her thoughts drifted to a few days later.
São Tomé and Príncipe?
She had only seen this small island nation on a map and had heard that this former colony of Grape Buds was very beautiful, but its fame was relatively low.
Hiking and camping on an island must be a very enjoyable experience!
Liv used to fantasize about hiking with her parents and brother in the Alps, on tropical islands, and on vast grasslands—how wonderful that would be.
Unfortunately, my father had already passed away, and my brother had left home early to ease my mother's burden, so such wonderful things could never happen again.
What about the next generation?
In the future, she and her brother will each start their own families and raise the third generation of their families.
Hopefully the little ones can enjoy this moment of family bonding!
"Liv, I brought you some delicious food."
As if by telepathy, or perhaps the keen senses of a sniper, Xia Yu noticed the gaze coming from above.
Seeing that it was Liv, but her eyes were a little distracted, she raised the lunchbox in her hand and said.
It's not about winning someone's heart through their stomach, but about having someone in your heart who cares about you, whether they've eaten well or are warmly dressed.
Relationships are about mutual giving, and it has little to do with how much money you have. Even a bowl of spicy hot pot across the street is a token of affection.
Of course, Liv, being a foreigner, might not be used to eating spicy hot pot.
The way chicken is prepared is probably universal, and many religions that don't eat this or that also use chicken as the most commonly consumed meat.
So Xia Yu asked Lao Yu to get one.
"It smells so good! What's this delicious food?"
