Xu Jianguo had to catch a boat early the next day to start the unmanned underwater vehicle testing mission, so after sending the old man to the jeep, he went straight back to his room.
Due to safety considerations, the old man will not go out to sea with the ship. He will stay in the base like the other teachers these days, waiting for Xu Jianguo and others to come back.
Not long after returning to the room, Liu Yang walked in from outside holding an enamel basin.
Xu Jianguo asked him to put down the basin and go back to sleep, and he would go to pour water later.
Liu Yang knew Xu Jianguo's temper, so he stood at attention and saluted, then turned and left.
The reason why Xu Jianguo let him go was because he was going to take off his shirt and wipe it with a wet towel, and he absolutely could not let Liu Yang see the evil ghost tattoo on his chest.
After drawing the curtains, Xu Jianguo took off his shirt, revealing his muscular upper body.
The muscles on Xu Jianguo's body are not the big muscles developed by weight lifting. Instead, they are more like the streamlined small muscles of a cheetah. Although the visual impact is not that strong, the first impression it gives is that it is full of explosive power.
Coupled with the tattoo of a ghost on his chest, he looks completely different from when he's in military uniform.
After wiping his body with a wet towel, Xu Jianguo put the dirty old man's shirt back into the space, then took out a clean one and put it on, then washed his feet, and then took the basin to the bathroom to pour out the water.
After returning to the room, Xu Jianguo turned off the lights and locked the door, then quickly slipped back into the space.
After arriving in Qiongzhou, he didn't have time to call home, so he just asked Du Yu to convey the news of his safe arrival to Wen Sitian.
So Xu Jianguo decided to go home and visit, so that Wen Sitian could feel at ease.
Wen Sitian was still awake at this time, reading in the study in the courtyard. As for the little guy Xu Ping'an, he was staying in his elder sister Lele's room.
Xu Jianguo first went to see Wen Sitian. After the couple chatted for a few words, he ran to the children's rooms to take a look, and took a good look at his daughter and son. Then he returned to the Qiongzhou base with satisfaction.
…
No words were spoken that night.
At five o'clock in the morning the next day, Xu Jianguo got up on time and started morning exercise. After the morning exercise, he took Zhao Changshan and Liu Yang to the cafeteria.
As soon as he entered the cafeteria, he saw the institute's deputy director Zhao Huanbin and other engineers.
When everyone saw Xu Jianguo coming, they immediately greeted him with a smile, and Xu Jianguo naturally responded with a smile.
After breakfast, the group returned to the barracks. Before they reached the door, Xu Jianguo saw Wang Fengshan and others waiting there.
"Old squad leader!"
"Jianguo, have you had breakfast?"
"We've eaten. Are we ready to go?"
"Yes, because the journey is quite long, so we have to set off early!"
"OK!"
Without any delay, everyone quickly boarded the trucks and jeeps, and then the convoy drove towards the military port dock.
When they arrived at the dock, the captain and deputy captain of the Qiongzhou ship were already waiting there.
With the sound of a whistle, the Qiongzhou ship sailed out of the military port like a dragon returning to the sea and headed towards the distance.
In addition to the Qiongzhou ship, two other frigates also accompanied it in this test mission.
Compared with the Qiongzhou ship, the other two warships are obviously not of the same level.
According to the introduction of Captain Zhu Dejun, Xu Jianguo learned that the other two warships were compensated to us by Japan when it was defeated. Their prototypes were the second type (D type) coastal defense ships of the Japanese Navy.
Because the destination of this trip is about 450 nautical miles away from the Qiongzhou Naval Port, which is about 900 kilometers.
The maximum speed of the Qiongzhou ship was about 32 knots (fictitious), which is less than 60 kilometers per hour.
Therefore, if the ship always maintains its maximum speed, it will take about 15 hours to reach its destination.
Of course, this is unrealistic. Not to mention whether the Qiongzhou ship can maintain its maximum speed all the time, even if it can, the other two frigates cannot keep up.
Therefore, in the best case scenario, it is expected to take a day and a night, or 24 hours, to reach the destination.
After the engineers from the institute boarded the ship, Deputy Captain Feng Dagang and his team arranged accommodation for them. Xu Jianguo followed Wang Fengshan directly to the bridge to study the work and personnel arrangements after arriving at the target sea area tomorrow. There were only two main tasks: one was the operation of the unmanned underwater vehicle, and the other was the reception and recording of data.
The other personnel are all logistical support. In addition, the engineers responsible for operating the submarine need to teach the naval personnel the operating skills and ensure that they have fully learned them.
Originally, Wang Fengshan, as the base commander, was not required to follow the test mission of the navy's new equipment. However, this time the unmanned submarine was too important to the navy, so the navy headquarters directly ordered him to follow the entire process and report the results as soon as the test was completed.
As for the two unmanned submarines that were about to be tested, they had already been transported onto the warship before Xu Jianguo and his team boarded the ship, and were being guarded by dedicated personnel with guns.
Just as Xu Jianguo and his team were rushing to the target sea area by boat, about 30 nautical miles southeast of the target sea area, there was an Aobolong-class conventional submarine from the Parrot Navy hovering about 80 meters below the water surface.
