Chapter 253: Wang Cheng? Why contact me?

No way.

If I apply to pick you up with the Blessing Ship, would you blow up?

Zhang Wen asked in surprise.

That won't happen; I'm still not that interested in the Blessing Ship.

Zhu Xinghan said.

Alright, let's go, I'll take you to see it—I'm the chief commander of the Sea-Suppressing Ship.

After Zhang Wen finished speaking, he took Zhu Xinghan through the procedures.

Boarding the plane, they went straight to the port of Dongda Navy in the South Sea.

As soon as the two arrived,

they could see a huge warship lying in the port.

Wow.

It's really huge.

I always thought it was just an ordinary destroyer.

I never expected the actual Sea-Suppressing Ship to be this big!

Upon seeing the Sea-Suppressing Ship,

Zhu Xinghan widened his eyes and said in surprise.

You're very surprised?

Zhang Wen asked, somewhat puzzled.

This thing is what we call a destroyer.

Other countries generally call her a cruiser.

Do you think this is a small boat like a Type 22 missile boat?

Zhang Wen asked doubtfully.

No.

I've only seen pictures of it online before.

In the photos it looked like a tiny ship.

I thought it wasn't that big.

Zhu Xinghan explained.

This thing is a ship with a displacement of over ten thousand tons.

What pictures were you looking at?

Zhang Wen asked.

Here, this is the one.

Zhu Xinghan directly pulled out his phone.

He opened a website.

He handed it to Zhang Wen to look at.

Zhang Wen took the phone and looked.

All he saw was clearly written on it:

Filmed by CCTV reporters.

That's it.

There's nothing more to say about that.

These publicity people...

Really...

I'm convinced.

Zhang Wen said helplessly.

Zhang Wen himself didn't know why either.

Clearly, all those weapons and equipment are extremely imposing.

But in the hands of their reporters and photographers,

what they film ends up looking like BabyBus.

Zhang Wen was also left speechless.

The weapons and equipment that originally had maximum deterrence,

after they filmed them, the deterrence practically turned negative.

Zhang Wen was also quite helpless.

Afterward, Zhang Wen directly brought Zhu Xinghan to the Sea-Suppressing Ship's command room.

The soldiers on this warship had already received the orders earlier.

Moreover, the Sea-Suppressing Ship didn't change personnel midway.

Most of them were soldiers Zhang Wen knew back then.

They arrived at the command room.

Zhang Wen saw Wang Shouxin, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

Old Wang, long time no see.

Zhang Wen said with some emotion.

Wang Shouxin is no longer as sturdy as he used to be.

His build has shrunk a lot.

But his aura hasn't diminished at all.

At first glance, he looks like someone with the bearing of a great general.

One could say he's weathered the years; in the blink of an eye, nearly twenty years have passed.

Zhang Wen went from being the factory chief of the near-bankrupt Qingtian Factory to what he is now.

And Wang Shouxin also grew from a small torpedo boat captain to the current captain of the Zhenhai.

"Yo, you came!"

"Why didn't you contact me? I had someone come pick you up."

Wang Shouxin saw Zhang Wen and happily said.

"Isn't this because I didn't want to bother you?"

Zhang Wen sat down in his familiar seat.

And he pulled Zhu Xinghan over to sit down.

"Come, let me introduce you."

"This is Academician Zhu Xinghan of our country, the most senior expert in aerospace."

"Hello, hello."

The two began shaking hands.

Zhang Wen saw a familiar soldier.

He said to Wang Shouxin, "Academician Zhu Xinghan is very interested in the Zhenhai."

"Just let Bao Yutang show him around."

Bao Yutang is that little soldier.

"Good."

"Bao Yutang, take Academician Zhu for a tour."

Wang Shouxin immediately said.

Zhu Xinghan immediately stood up and followed Bao Yutang.

Until they walked out the door.

Then Wang Shouxin asked.

"What's up?"

"Do you have some secret mission?"

Wang Shouxin curiously asked.

After all, in his view, Zhu Xinghan's interest in the Zhenhai is completely an excuse.

It's merely an excuse to get the people in the room out.

Meanwhile, Zhang Wen had a clueless expression.

"Ah!"

Zhang Wen immediately realized Wang Shouxin had guessed wrong.

"Really, there isn't."

"Zhu Xinghan is genuinely interested in the Zhenhai."

Zhang Wen spread his hands.

"Fine then."

Wang Shouxin saw that he had guessed wrong.

He embarrassedly scratched his head.

Zhang Wen asked, "What are your plans for that small island?"

Wang Shouxin saw Zhang Wen ask this question.

He immediately said.

"We plan to turn that small island into a naval base."

"This will be more advantageous for expanding our influence in the Pacific."

"After all, that small island's geographical position is superb."

"Its location is in the equatorial region of the Pacific."

"Moreover, there are no seismic zones surrounding it underwater; neither the Pacific Ring of Fire nor the continental earthquake belt is near this small island."

"In the past nearly thirty years, no typhoon or marine storm has occurred near this small island."

"There are also hardly any people nearby."

"Far from population centers."

"This is practically the best site for a military base."

"Supply is also not a problem for the navy."

"We plan to spend three years turning this small island into a permanently ready military base."

Wang Shouxin said.

Only then did Zhang Wen understand.

"Well, that's not bad for us."

"We can still see the undeveloped primordial scenery."

Zhang Wen laughed.

"Haha."

This is also a good choice for you in searching for an experimental base.

If you like it, we'll just let you have it.

After all, your research is always the most important.

Wang Shouxin's attitude toward Zhang Wen is already more than just trust.

It can be said to be blind trust.

After all, the miracles Zhang Wen has achieved over the years are truly too many.

Alright, alright.

Get ready to depart.

Zhang Wen said.

Afterwards.

The Zhenhai took over ten days, and finally reached this small island.

And Zhu Xinghan, during these days, can be said to have examined the Zhenhai except for its confidential parts.

He touched it all over, top to bottom.

He almost gave the Zhenhai a full-body cleaning.

This can be said to have greatly satisfied Zhu Xinghan's curiosity and fervent psyche.

Upon disembarking.

Zhang Wen and Zhu Xinghan were immediately captivated.

The primitive scenery here is really too beautiful.

Whether it's the azure sea water,

or the dense forests on the island,

they are all primitive scenery.

The two immediately began their vacation here.

And the Zhenhai, accompanied by the engineering team, built a temporary dock here.

Allowing the Zhenhai to dock.

Such happy days passed for a few days.

One week later.

Zhang Wen finished fishing.

He was about to roast and eat together with Zhu Xinghan.

His phone suddenly rang.

Zhang Wen picked it up and looked.

It was an unknown number.

Zhang Wen thought it was some harassment number, so he hung up directly.

But not long after,

Zhang Wen saw Director Yang's call.

"Zhang Wen, are you busy?"

Director Yang's voice came from the phone.

Zhang Wen immediately said: "No."

"Just playing."

"Then it's fine."

"I thought I was disturbing your experiment."

"Wang Cheng called you but you didn't answer, so he contacted me."

"Ah?"

"Okay, I'll contact him."

Zhang Wen directly said.

"Okay, if it's not urgent, just keep playing."

After Director Yang said that, he hung up.

Zhang Wen looked at his phone, puzzled.

"Wang Cheng, isn't he doing fusion research?"

"Why did he suddenly call me?"
