Thirty Entrepreneurship: Recycling of second-hand aircraft carriers at the beginning

Chapter 425: Modified Nuclear Submarine

"Okay, let's meet at the Everything Can Be Repaired factory at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. I'll send you the address then." Lin Chen suggested.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Chen's thoughts could not calm down for a long time. He recalled Lin Xuejun on the phone just now. Although he had never met him before, the other party gave him a professional and polite feeling.

Moreover, this matter did not seem to be simple. Fang Weihai was always in a hurry in the past, but this time he seemed quite relaxed. He did not even say what specific repairs were to be made, but only proposed to meet and discuss in detail.

When Lin Chen returned to the theater, he did not return to his original seat, but chose to sit in the aisle next to it.

He did this because the movie was coming to an end and also because he didn't want to disturb Fang Lan and others.

Fang Lan had already noticed Lin Chen's return and expressed her understanding of his actions.

As the ending song sounded, the audience stood up and left.

Lin Chen also stood up, waved in the direction of Fang Lan, and then walked towards the exit. The two finally met at the exit.

"Miss Fang, why are you sighing while watching a movie? Is it because I was on the phone and not with you just now, and you feel lonely?" Lin Chen joked.

Fang Lan smiled: "You are so talkative. I just didn't expect this movie to be so bad."

Silent all night.

The next morning, when the first rays of sunlight shone through the curtains into the room, Lin Chen had already gotten up and was ready to go. He drove to the parking lot alone, secretly regretting that he had become a little lazy recently.

The newly bought car was still waiting for him to modify it, but he kept putting it off.

There was still an hour left before the appointment with Lin Xuejun, but Lin Chen was used to arriving early. He knew the importance of time to the military, and he also hoped that he could become a punctual businessman.

When his car was approaching the factory gate, he saw a heavy truck parked there from a distance, with several people standing next to it. Lin Chen accelerated and stopped next to them.

A young man came up to me and asked with a smile, "Are you Boss Lin? I'm Lin Xuejun."

Lin Chen stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party tightly: "Exactly. Hello, have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No, we just arrived too." Lin Xuejun responded politely.

Lin Chen greeted the soldiers next to him again, and then followed Lin Xuejun to the heavy truck. He saw the object he needed to deal with - a submarine.

This submarine was smaller than he usually knew, but the system had already started scanning, and the basic information of the submarine appeared on the light blue screen. Lin Chen then realized that this was a YS-1006 nuclear-powered submarine, which was developed by Huaxia in 2005.

Lin Xuejun explained his purpose to Lin Chen: "We need to maintain this submarine and make some modifications on this basis."

Lin Chen carefully observed the submarine and was amazed. Although this nuclear submarine was small in size, it contained huge energy. He began to think about how to modify the submarine to meet the needs of the military.

After some effort, the submarine was successfully transported to Lin Chen's factory. Lin Xuejun followed Lin Chen into the factory and explained to him the purpose of his visit: "In the future, if nothing unexpected happens, I will communicate with you about orders from the Eastern Theater."

Although Lin Chen was a little confused, he didn't ask any more questions. He just agreed readily: "Okay, I have written down your contact information. If there is anything in the future, we can communicate at any time."

Next, Lin Chen began to inquire in detail about the submarine modification requirements.

Lin Xuejun smiled and replied: "Fang Tuan said that he would leave it to you. He said that you will be able to transform it better than we imagined."

Lin Chen then realized that Fang Tuan was Fang Weihai, the head of the Linhai Military Region. He had always regarded Lin Xuejun as an ordinary military rank, but now he knew that he was the head of the Eastern Theater. He couldn't help but laugh at his own negligence.

"The ammunition it is currently equipped with is mainly short-range missiles and torpedoes. Since we want to modify it, let's change it into medium- and long-range ballistic missiles." Lin Chen put forward his own suggestions.

Lin Xuejun agreed: "I've already said that it's all up to you. As for the price, just tell me after you've considered the cost of improvement and maintenance."

Lin Xuejun did not stay in the factory for too long, because there were still many things waiting for him to deal with in the war zone. He came to see Lin Chen in person this time mainly to see what kind of person this talent praised by various military regions was.

Now, he has the answer. Lin Chen is not only highly skilled, but also modest and prudent, which is a rare quality.

On the way back, Lin Xuejun called Fang Weihai. After hearing Lin Xuejun's praise for Lin Chen, Fang Weihai became even more proud: "This is our Linhai talent, I am not bragging."

Lin Xuejun also smiled: "It really lives up to its reputation. With the new commander and the new district chief, it looks like they'll be busy."

In the Wanwujianzhan factory, Lin Chen was busy. He did not leave the factory, but began to calculate the prices of maintenance and improvement projects, preparing to report to Lin Xuejun.

"System." He called softly.

"Master, I'm here." The system responded quickly.

"This type of nuclear submarine uses a nuclear power plant with a K-15 reactor and is relatively small in size. Which type of ammunition do you think is most suitable for it?" Lin Chen asked.

He had mentioned to Lin Xuejun before about installing ballistic missiles, but now he needed to choose the appropriate type of missile based on the specific situation of the submarine.

At the same time, he also had to consider the increase in the properties of the air purification and fresh water purification devices inside the submarine. These all required him to carefully consider and plan.

Among the many missile options, only the SCALP cruise missile stands out, and its explosive power has achieved a significant three-level enhancement compared to ordinary ballistic missiles.

"So, what's the price?" Lin Chen asked with concern.

"The whole set of equipment requires an investment of 50 million US dollars." The other party gave a clear answer. This number made Lin Chen fall into deep thought. He weighed whether it was worth investing such a huge amount of money for the three-level power improvement. In the end, he shook his head and decided to put this plan on hold for the time being.

"Let's convert it into an ordinary ballistic missile first. What is more important right now is to make breakthroughs in the air purification and fresh water conversion systems." Lin Chen wisely adjusted his strategy.

He knew very well that every detail inside a nuclear submarine was a matter of life and death.

Recently, the nuclear submarine of the Mi Qi State was in danger due to the explosion of the backup air purification system.

After a systematic and detailed inspection, Lin Chen discovered that the nuclear submarine he had on hand also had hidden dangers in the air purification system.

"We cannot just focus on external defense and attack capabilities, internal security is equally crucial." Lin Chen emphasized that this is the core goal of his transformation.

Historical data shows that in nuclear submarine accidents, casualties caused by collisions are only a minority.

More often than not, it was the failure of the internal system that put the soldiers in danger. Lin Chen was determined to build a solid line of defense in this regard.

The system had understood Lin Chen's intention and quickly listed a list of upgradeable attributes on the light blue screen:

Air purification system

Fire alarm and fire extinguishing system

Ammunition equipment
"Except for ammunition equipment, the other two items can be upgraded to the world's top level, and the cost of each improvement is 10 million US dollars." The system gave a clear quote.

When Lin Chen heard the price, he felt relieved and nodded with satisfaction.

"This is reasonable. The overall improvement will only cost 30 million, which is much more cost-effective than upgrading the ammunition equipment separately before." He made a quick decision and told the system to execute according to this plan.

At the same time, Lin Chen did not forget to record the ammunition configuration plan worth 50 million yuan, preparing to report it to Lin Xuejun in the future, so as to further enhance the combat effectiveness of the nuclear submarine if funds permit.

The total cost of maintenance and modification was 35 million US dollars. Lin Chen reported the modification plan and budget to Lin Xuejun in detail, and soon the funds were in place.

After receiving the payment, Lin Chen devoted himself to the work. He asked the system to provide the maintenance plan and required materials for the nuclear submarine, and the system responded quickly, and all the information was available.

Lin Chen carefully studied the maintenance plan and found that it was similar to his previous experience in submarine modification, except for some different materials. He followed the standard process and completed the comprehensive maintenance of the nuclear submarine in nearly an hour.

It was almost noon, and Lin Chen was feeling hungry. The Everything Can Be Repaired factory was hidden in the dense forest, and it was not easy to find food. Lin Chen did not want to expose this secret location, so he drove to the city to find lunch.

In an ordinary noodle restaurant, Lin Chen just sat down when the phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. He hesitated for a moment, but still answered it.

"Excuse me, is the car with license plate number ×××× yours? Can you please move it? My driving skills are limited and I can't drive out." A requesting voice came from the other end of the phone.

Lin Chen understood the tight parking space and knew that he had parked his car with difficulty. He apologized to the waiter and asked him to leave the noodles in the kitchen, then hurried to the parking lot.

When he appeared in the parking lot, the waiting drivers were surprised to find that the man driving the luxury car actually came out of a small noodle restaurant. Lin Chen quickly moved his car to make room, and then returned to the noodle restaurant to enjoy lunch.

After dinner, Lin Chen drove back to the factory and stood next to the nuclear submarine again. He suddenly had an idea and thought of several new improvements. So he went inside the submarine again and got busy.

Half an hour later, everything was ready. Lin Chen called Lin Xuejun and said, "You can send someone to pick up the goods."

Lin Xuejun was waiting for news in a hotel in Linhai City. After receiving the call, he immediately rushed to the factory with his team. They praised Lin Chen's work efficiency and were full of expectations for the transformation of the nuclear submarine.

Lin Chen warmly received them and took them to visit the operation cabin of the nuclear submarine. He introduced in detail the newly added intelligent monitoring screen and touch screen control functions, as well as the backup control options designed to prevent staff from fainting in an emergency.

Lin Xuejun praised Lin Chen's innovation, and he especially noticed a small platform on the control interface, which was covered with buttons of various colors. Lin Chen explained the functions of these buttons one by one: the green button is for acceleration, the red button is for emergency lifting... Each design reflects the ultimate pursuit of speed and efficiency.

Finally, Lin Xuejun found that the chair had also been carefully modified, which surprised him even more. He said with emotion: "Boss Lin, your attentiveness and thoughtfulness are really admirable."

Lin Chen responded with a smile: "This is all to make the nuclear submarine more perfect and the soldiers safer." He knows very well that every improvement is a respect for life and a contribution to the country.

In Lin Chen's world, many decisions are often made in a moment's thought, just like this special modification of the submarine seat, which became a product of Lin Chen's impromptu inspiration.

Lin Xuejun showed an increasing interest in this, his eyes moving back and forth between Lin Chen and the modified seat, as if trying to discern every detail. Lin Chen caught this curiosity and was secretly proud of himself, knowing that his modification had successfully attracted the attention of this colleague.

"This seat," Lin Chen said slowly, with a hint of imperceptible pride in his tone, "has been carefully adjusted to effectively relieve the overload pressure on operators when the ship is shuttling at high speed or taking off and landing vertically." He knows that the huge pressure brought by high-speed navigation has made countless operators miserable, and even caused them to temporarily lose consciousness due to overload. Therefore, in addition to daily anti-overload training, equipment innovation is also crucial.

Hearing this, Lin Xuejun nodded repeatedly, his eyes flashing with approval. "Indeed, such improvements have greatly improved combat efficiency." He exclaimed sincerely. Lin Chen just smiled faintly, without showing off too much, he knew that the real test was still to come.

Next, they sailed the nuclear submarine to the Eastern Theater for field testing.

The heavy truck roared, carrying the huge object slowly forward. Lin Chen and Lin Xuejun sat side by side, discussing the details of the upcoming test.

Lin Xuejun invited Lin Chen to ride in the same car to relieve the fatigue of the journey, but Lin Chen smiled and shook his head, pointing to his own car: "My car is equipped with intelligent navigation and automatic driving, which is equivalent to having an invisible driver. It's very easy."

In this way, the two cars drove to the destination one after the other. For Lin Chen, this was not only a test of the performance of the nuclear submarine, but also an important practice in his personal career. Although he participated in the maintenance and modification of submarines, it was the first time for him to be in one and feel the shock of the deep sea.

The test went very smoothly, and every improvement made by Lin Chen was verified in actual combat. When the nuclear submarine broke through the waves, Lin Chen also walked out of the submarine with a satisfied smile on his face. However, he did not plan to stay in the Eastern Theater for long, but bid farewell to Lin Xuejun: "Since the test is correct, I'd better return to Linhai City as soon as possible to deal with other matters."

Lin Xuejun was obviously unwilling to let him go, and he warmly asked him to stay: "Since you are here,
