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

Chapter 465 Signal Interruption at Sea
Tong Shichen exclaimed.

The time spent on sea trials for aircraft carriers of various countries ranges from several months to several years.

It all depends on the number of issues discovered during the sea trials.

If there are no problems, the test can be completed smoothly and officially put into service.

But if there is any problem, it needs to be rebuilt and time is wasted.

The second-hand aircraft carrier that Lin Chen had previously modified was successfully put into service without any malfunctions, which was something that had never happened in the world.

Tong Shichen also has the same expectations for the more advanced aircraft carrier in front of him.

Lin Chen seemed to understand what Tong Shichen meant, and he said firmly: "This aircraft carrier will be the same, I can guarantee it!"

"Hahaha!" Tong Shichen couldn't help laughing out loud, "Good luck to you!"

As the order to set sail was issued, the aircraft carrier slowly left the military port dock and gradually disappeared from the sight of everyone on the dock. Liu Dingcang came to Lin Chen, and Tong Shichen and Lin Xuejun stood aside respectfully waiting for instructions.

Liu Dingcang looked at Lin Chen with a smile and said, "Boss Lin, when we are free, we must find some time to sit down and listen to your story carefully!"

Lin Chen quickly responded modestly: "I should listen to more of my leader's stories. There must be a lot of valuable life experience and insights that I have never touched upon."

Liu Dingcang didn't say much, but just said to Lin Chen: "Okay, then we will remember this agreement, and there must be such a time when the time comes!"

Liu Dingcang's time was always very precious, and after a few words he left again. Lin Chen stayed in the Eastern Theater.

Since the start of the aircraft carrier sea trial, Tong Shichen has gradually relaxed. He said to Lin Chen: "Boss Lin, please stay here. Our theater has specially prepared a banquet to celebrate the aircraft carrier sea trial."

Lin Chen shook his head and refused. Lin Xuejun had never expected Lin Chen to refuse, and quickly persuaded him: "No one can be absent, especially you, that's for sure." Then he forcibly pulled Lin Chen to the reception area.

At the same time, in the distant Kola Sea in the United States, the USS Unity was sailing.

Admiral Luo Shijie, the commander of the aircraft carrier, was reporting the current situation of the aircraft carrier to the US headquarters. After listening to the response from the headquarters, he put down the intercom.

Luo Shijie ordered the crew around him: "Follow the navigation and enter the high seas."

In another room on the aircraft carrier, three people were sitting together. Two of the men were adjusting the video equipment, while the other blonde woman was silently reciting the contents of the paper card in her hand.

One of the men stopped what he was doing and asked the blonde, "Mary, I heard that we will reach the high seas in five hours!"

The blonde frowned and said, "Louis, you are interrupting me while I am reciting the script."

The man named Louis shrugged his shoulders in apology. Mary still responded: "Although we can reach the high seas in five hours, the live broadcast will not start until eight o'clock in the morning there."

Louis nodded and said, “I know, I just told you the time, actually I’m a little excited.”

The other man who had been silent raised his head and said, "This is an aircraft carrier built by a multinational team over a period of time. It will be broadcast live around the world. Only we can do it."

The USS United finally arrived at the high seas after much hard work. The sky was still dark, but the people on the carrier were already busy. The media reporters who had finished their breakfast had also gathered together.

Only one of the three journalists was a woman. Mary had already put on her makeup and was sitting in the lobby waiting for the other two to arrive. Other sailors passed by her, each with their own things to do.

Louis and John came over with their cameras, chatting. Mary saw them coming and quickly pointed to the two seats next to her seat and said, "Let's check the camera positions and the content of my manuscript one last time."

Although this is a live broadcast format, they still have their own script arrangements overall.

Which direction to shoot on the deck, which position to shoot next, and what to say are all arranged in advance.

These three people are all professionals of Lianhua Daily.

Lianhua Daily has always maintained a close cooperative relationship with senior U.S. officials. They obtained the qualification for this live broadcast and sent their three best staff members.

The "United" is an aircraft carrier jointly developed by five countries led by the United States.

For the first sea trial, five countries jointly sent personnel to the ship, but the United States was still in the lead.

The first live broadcast was still conducted by the United States.

Louis said confidently, "We've seen all kinds of scenes. We've rehearsed it so many times. Is there any need to check it again?" He yawned as he spoke, expressing his dissatisfaction with Mary for calling him out so early.

But he didn't dare to go against Mary's wishes too much on this matter, because Mary's backing was too strong.

John tried to smooth things over between the two of them and said, "I looked at the time. There are still two hours left. It's enough to go through it once. Besides, we have already finished breakfast."

In this case, it seems that we need to calm down the two of them.

On the other side, in the waters of China, the aircraft carrier Chaoyang had been sailing for twenty hours in a row.

During this long sea trial, every report sent back to China showed that everything was 100% flawless.

Although Lin Chen had completed the construction of the aircraft carrier, he still kept his mobile phone turned on during the initial stage of the sea trial, neither turning it off nor switching it to silent mode.

At this time, Fang Lan walked out of her room and planned to go to the kitchen to drink some water.

As soon as she walked into the corridor, she could vaguely hear the sound of text message alerts coming from Lin Chen's room. She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Did Lin Chen not rest all night?"

At the same time, Lin Chen, who was lying on the bed, reached out and picked up the mobile phone on the bedside to check it.

Two short words appeared on the screen: "Normal."

He had received many such messages. They were all feedback messages from the Eastern Theater Command after the aircraft carrier's short-term experimental data was successful. Lin Chen frowned, and finally picked up his phone and started editing the message.

Almost at the same time, Lin Xuejun's mobile phone also received the message.

"Don't send me normal messages. Wait until something unusual happens before you contact me. You know, I didn't sleep much tonight." The text message was followed by two angry emoticons.

Lin Xuejun looked at his phone and couldn't help laughing. The assistant sergeant next to him was about to come over to report his work, but when he saw Lin Xuejun's look, he also froze in his place.

The Eastern Theater Command was always on standby to prevent any unexpected situation during the aircraft carrier's sea trial. At this moment, Tong Shichen called and Lin Xuejun just picked up the phone.

"What data has progressed to? Is everything going well?" Tong Shichen's voice was calm and loud, not like he had just woken up at all.

"Report to the commander, everything is normal." Lin Xuejun responded quickly.

"Report any situation in time." Tong Shichen instructed.

Lin Xuejun responded, knowing in his heart that Tong Shichen would come to work in a few hours and would definitely supervise more strictly then.

Not long after he hung up the phone, the guard's alarm sounded nearby. Lin Xuejun immediately rushed over to check the situation. The person in charge of reporting also trotted over and reported to Lin Xuejun: "Report to the leader, the United States aircraft carrier was spotted in the high seas ten nautical miles away from our waters ahead."

Lin Xuejun frowned. This happened too suddenly. They didn't even know that the United States had already developed and built the United States. It was also his fault that he hadn't asked Lin Chen for a while. He responded quickly: "They must be here to show off their power. Let's observe the situation first, and I'll go and ask for instructions."

After saying that, he called Tong Shichen's number again and explained the matter of the US United in detail.

At this time, Tong Shichen was with Liu Dingcang. After hearing this, Liu Dingcang immediately said, "Let's go over and take a look too."

Two hours passed in a flash. When the American reporter walked out of the cabin, it was already daybreak.

"The lighting is just right, and the positioning we arranged earlier is also in place." Mary stood in the position that had been arranged previously, and the lighting and other conditions were indeed good.

When the time came, their live broadcast room opened on time. Mary appeared in the live broadcast with a bright smile: "Dear viewers around the world, what you are seeing now is the United aircraft carrier jointly developed and built by the United States..."

Since it is a joint research and development by multiple countries, various equipment and other facilities have been fully prepared in advance.

Therefore, the time spent on assembly is relatively short. Being able to take an aircraft carrier to sea for sea trials in a short period of time is definitely something worth hyping.

Mary kept walking back along the runway, preparing to enter the interior of the aircraft carrier to continue introducing everyone. However, the Chinese aircraft carrier was still executing orders and moving steadily towards the high seas.

At this time, Tong Shichen and Liu Dingcang had already arrived at the command room of the Eastern Theater Command by car.

When Lin Xuejun saw the two leaders coming, he immediately felt relieved.

He quickly reported the latest news he had received: "Reporting to the leader, the United States is broadcasting live to the world, and their words clearly show that they have developed and built the world's top aircraft carrier."

As he spoke, he connected the live video to the current big screen.

Reporter Mary was talking nonstop and had already reached the island. Liu Dingcang saw all of this.

There is new information coming from the aircraft carrier ahead.

A soldier ran over to report: "Received the signal, we have reached the high seas, and are still 20 nautical miles away from the target aircraft carrier. Please give us your instructions, leader."

The United aircraft carrier is not static, it also has its own set route. Everyone turned their eyes to Liu Dingcang. Liu Dingcang, who initially proposed to drive the aircraft carrier to the high seas, now seemed a little hesitant. He has been slow to make a decision.

Lin Xuejun contacted Lin Chen urgently because he found out that the Union had suddenly appeared: "Boss Lin, the Union has also been completed and is now on the high seas. Can you get some useful information?"

Although the boundary line from the high seas to the territorial waters of China is clear, sometimes some countries will always break the rules and sail recklessly. This has forced the theater to step up its vigilance and take a closer look at the current situation.

Lin Chen had gotten up early and was eating. After receiving this task, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and quickly opened the system: "How come there are so many changes when I haven't paid attention to the affairs of the United Number these days?" Lin Chen said to himself.

The system was already turned on, and Lin Chen issued a command: "Query the status of the Union." The system continued to expand the previous data and transmitted the current scene on the Union in real time. At the same time, it also included real-time sound.

Lin Chen forwarded all this information to Lin Xuejun's mobile phone and called him: "Check the video on your mobile phone app. The current situation of the United Number is displayed in real time in front of you."

At this time, Lin Xuejun's phone was on speaker mode, and Tong Shichen and Liu Dingcang could hear it clearly. They knew that Lin Chen was also actively involved in this matter. The content of the video was projected onto the big screen, and the sound and video were clearly displayed in front of everyone.

As a live broadcast reporter on the USS United, Mary is still trying her best to defend the image of their country's cutting-edge weapons. Liu Dingcang asked Lin Xuejun: "Is Lin Chen still online?"

Before Lin Xuejun could answer, Lin Chen on the other end of the phone responded first: "I'm always here, feel free to tell me if you need anything!"

Liu Dingcang said, "I'll call you alone." Lin Chen reacted, interrupted the call with Lin Xuejun, and answered Liu Dingcang's call.

Liu Dingcang found a separate room and made sure that no other soldiers or officers were present. "Boss Lin, I'm in a separate room now and want to communicate with you!" Liu Dingcang said.

"Leader, please speak!" Lin Chen knew that the United was too arrogant. Especially in the previous commentary, those sarcastic statements deliberately belittled China's high-tech equipment, as if their aircraft carrier could crush everything.

Liu Dingcang said to Lin Chen: "You have also noticed their global reports!"

"Yes." Lin Chen responded.

"I just want to ask you, do you have any magic weapon that can win in one move, a high-tech one that can make them stunned." In Lin Chen's impression, Liu Dingcang has always been a calm old grandfather. Now he directly said something like he wanted to make the other party stunned, which was really unimaginable. He also played up his spirits.

"Of course. Their self-boasting behavior should make them see what is the real high-tech that leads the world." Lin Chen said confidently.

"Good! In my opinion, you are the only one who has a more comprehensive understanding of the Chaoyang we built."
