Old Mou was running around everywhere before the Lunar New Year, and was still out and about on New Year's Eve.
Xing Baohua's family had a reunion dinner. Since Su Ya was an only child, she also invited her father-in-law's family to the villa to celebrate the New Year together.
When the Spring Festival Gala started, Xing Baohua received New Year's greetings via text message in various forms.
Goodness, my phone just keeps beeping non-stop. I haven't even finished reading this one before another one comes in. I can't keep up at all.
Because his phone received a lot of text messages in a short period of time, it even caused his phone to lag.
The best mobile phone in the country is in Xing Baohua's hands. Whether it is the hardware configuration or the optimized system, his mobile phone is always several levels higher than the market average.
Xing Baohua was having a drink with the two old men when a guard approached and whispered to him, "Boss, an emergency call?"
Upon hearing this, Xing Baohua subconsciously checked her phone; it wasn't turned off!
But I still got up to answer the phone.
After leaving the restaurant, Xing Baohua asked, "Whose call was that?"
"Air Force Commander, Commander Zhao is on the phone!"
Xing Baohua's first thought was, could it be that the Sky Eye early warning system he installed has malfunctioned?
If that's the case, then it would be incredibly embarrassing.
He answered the phone and said, "Happy New Year, Commander Zhao, this is Xing Baohua."
"Happy New Year, Xiao Xing. I'll get straight to the point. I need you to take your team to Zhangzhuang Airport in Ludong."
"An emergency mission?"
"Yes, I hope you can arrive within an hour. Someone there will explain things to you." With that, Commander Zhao hung up the phone.
Xing Baohua was completely bewildered. Even if there was a system or hardware malfunction, at least tell him what's wrong, and bring the spare parts!
They didn't say anything, so what are you bringing?
There's only an hour left; there's not even enough time to prepare. They must be taking advantage of having a private jet.
Xing Baohua turned his head and asked, "The capital of Shandong Province has an airport?"
"It's the old airport, used before Yaoqiang Airport was built. Now it belongs to the 12th Division and is used for training," the guard explained.
Xing Baohua returned to the restaurant and said to both sets of parents, "Mom and Dad, I have an urgent mission and I have to go on a business trip."
Xing's mother was very unhappy that Xing Baohua was leaving, and said, "Who works during the New Year? Did something happen at your factory?"
Xing's father turned his head and said, "You jinx, can't you hope for something good?"
"It's not a company matter. It's..."
Xing Baohua didn't dare to say anything, but looked at his father-in-law and said, "Dad, I probably won't be able to go to your place on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Don't prepare anything, just come here directly. It might take a while, but I might be able to come back tomorrow."
“Okay, you go ahead with your work, we’ll take care of things at home,” the father-in-law said.
Xing Baohua hurriedly packed her things. Su Ya wanted to help, but Xing Baohua dissuaded her, saying that with her big belly, bending over would be inconvenient, and it would be better for her to have a meal with her parents.
Xing Baohua left in a hurry. He then had the convoy arrive at Xiao Tian's house; he had already called ahead.
When the FAST (Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope) equipment malfunctions, one of the participants inevitably becomes involved.
So Xing Baohua had to call on the system experts.
After Xiao Tian got in the car, he complained to Xing Baohua, "It's one thing to work overtime during the week, but why make things so complicated during the Spring Festival?"
"Do you think I want to? Hey, why did Geng Rui come along? Aren't you going to watch the kids?"
After getting into the car, Geng Rui said, "The child's maternal grandmother is watching over him, so it's alright. I'll go with you."
The plane was ready, but the original crew members were on leave and were too far away to be easily found. Fortunately, another group of transport plane crew members had just completed a delivery mission and were temporarily requisitioned.
At this point, there were 30 minutes left in the one hour allotted by Commander Zhao.
"Driver, hurry up, we're in a rush," Xing Baohua said to the pilot after boarding his private jet.
"We won't be delayed. There are no flight attendants available, so please serve yourself first and fasten your seatbelts. We'll take off once I've finished my briefing."
The distance from Luzhong Cargo Airport to Ludong Zhangzhuang Airport is approximately 130 kilometers.
Xing Baohua's private jet can reach a top speed of 918 kilometers per hour.
At an average speed of 15.3 kilometers per minute, it takes about ten minutes to reach the destination.
Okay, so a bunch of transport plane pilots drove Xing Baohua at fighter jet speeds, not even using cruising speed, just pushing the throttle to the floor the whole time.
Xing Baohua fastened his seatbelt and started chatting with Xiao Tian. It felt like they hadn't even exchanged a few words yet when they arrived!
After the three got off the plane, they saw a modified Sky Eye drone already running, with its engine making a loud noise.
After Xing Baohua got off the plane, he was greeted by people who, without saying a word, took him and his luggage to the Sky Eye.
Once inside the FAST telescope, Xing Baohua saw that the cabin was already full of young people, both men and women, all dressed in blue camouflage.
They didn't hold any official titles, and their ranks and professional titles were unknown.
"Hello, Mr. Xing, hello, Engineer Xiao, Engineer Geng. I'm the commander of this operation. My surname is Li, just call me Lao Li." A middle-aged man in a blue camouflage uniform greeted Xing Baohua and the others.
"What's going on? Why the rush? Is the equipment broken?" Xing Baohua asked.
"Come over here, I'll tell you." He said, leading Xing Baohua and the others toward the driver's cab. Next to the driver's cab, a small space had been converted, like a narrow meeting room, which could squeeze in about seven or eight people.
The four of them had enough room to sit comfortably.
"Mr. Xing, have you heard of the R71-U bird?"
"Know!"
“It’s out for a stroll.” He pointed to the world map behind him, drew a circle on it, and said, “The U-bird flies over the peninsula, enters the Far East for reconnaissance, and then makes a turn back. It always operates like this. After we received the intelligence, we began to deploy radar to track it. It has now entered our country.”
