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

Chapter 469 Asking for help
"I didn't bring anything to eat when I went out. I guess I'll be hungry at noon."

Fang Lan responded calmly, "Who said we have to stay here all day? It's almost noon and we've almost finished shopping. We can go back then."

Lin Chen took a deep breath. He really didn’t expect the day’s schedule to be arranged like this.

However, when he looked outside, the greenery and tranquility made him feel that this was a good choice.

So he continued driving along the main road, only to find that the road they were currently driving on did not connect to the road they had seen leading up the mountain.

Lin Chen walked around helplessly for a few times, and finally decided to ask passers-by for help.

Just at this moment, an old man was walking towards him from a distance. Lin Chen hurriedly got out of the car and went forward to greet him.

"Uncle, how can we get to the top of the mountain? I see there is a road over there, but I can't find the entrance." Lin Chen said as he pointed to the winding path at the foot of the mountain.

The old man understood immediately and pointed back enthusiastically, saying, "Go from here, turn right at the second intersection, and you can go straight up."

Lin Chen thanked her quickly, and then returned to the car and said to Fang Lan, "We passed by that entrance several times before, but we never went in."

He felt somewhat regretful and thought that he had wasted time, but this did not stop him from starting the car quickly and driving in the direction the old man pointed.

Sure enough, after turning at the second intersection, they successfully arrived at the road at the foot of the mountain.

As Lin Chen drove up the mountain, he curiously asked Fang Lan, "So you plan to just stay in the car and enjoy the scenery this time?"

He really wanted to find an opportunity to get off the car and walk around to experience the pastoral scenery for himself.

Fang Lan actually didn't expect this trip to turn out like this, which was quite different from what she had imagined. But she didn't tell Lin Chen, but because of his question, she came up with an answer on the spur of the moment.

"The higher you stand, the farther you can see. Let's go directly to the top of the mountain and see the scenery farther away. When we come down, we can appreciate the scenery below one by one."

Lin Chen felt that what Fang Lan said made sense.

So he parked the car next to a spacious platform and said, "There's plenty of space here. Let's park the car here and walk up."

The two got out of the car and walked up step by step along the current road.

The higher you go, the rougher the road becomes.

Obviously, only the lower section of the road has been carefully repaired, while the road conditions are much worse as you go up.

There are potholes in many places, and it even makes people doubt whether the wheels will get stuck if they run over them.

Lin Chen was complaining about the road when Fang Lan suddenly pointed in a farther direction and said, "Look, there's a round object over there. What is that?"

Lin Chen looked in the direction she pointed, and because the distance was relatively close, he could see more clearly.

It was an oversized round object dressed in camouflage, sitting on a portion of a hillside that looked like a house but not quite like a real house.

Lin Chen reacted quickly and said, "It should be a radar!"

Fang Lan was very surprised when she heard Lin Chen's words: "Radar?"

Lin Chen explained: "Let's go up and take a look. I haven't seen anything like this before!"

However, Fang Lan couldn't wait to move forward, so Lin Chen quickly stopped her and said, "What's so interesting about going up there? They must have guards, and they may also be radioactive."

Despite what Lin Chen said, Fang Lan did not stop. She turned around and smiled at Lin Chen, "You are misleading me. Of course I know there are guards over there and I can't get close at all. There is no possibility of radiation!"

Lin Chen knew that Fang Lan was right. He actually didn’t want to get close to such a place. He just didn’t want to disturb the people who were working and guarding here.

Fang Lan's steps were quick, as if the huge circular radar was her ultimate goal.

Lin Chen followed her closer and found that there was a larger wall here.

The house next to the radar is relatively small and probably cannot accommodate many people.

Fang Lan turned around and asked Lin Chen: "How many people do you think are guarding here?" Lin Chen estimated and said: "About one class."

They had been blocked outside the gate, and there were signs on the gate indicating that outsiders were not allowed to enter. They could only stand here and observe the situation inside.

It was full of life, the vegetables in the garden were thriving, showing that they were well taken care of, and there were also some facilities for soldiers to train.

Just then, a person walked out.

From his attire, it could be seen that he was a soldier here. He put down the things in his hands and walked towards the door where Fang Lan and Lin Chen were.

"What do you want?" the soldier asked. Fang Lan replied, "I just came to take a look."

Obviously, the soldiers were somewhat suspicious of their identities.

After all, adults like them, coming here to check out the radar, does make people wonder.

Seeing this, Lin Chen immediately said, "I have an ID from the Linhai Military Region. We were just passing by and came over to take a look when we saw it."

As he spoke, he took out the Linhai Military Region certificate that Fang Weihai had given him from his pocket.

With this certificate, he can enter the military area without further inspection.

This kind of certificate is not something that anyone can possess.

After the soldier saw his ID, he realized what was happening and quickly saluted Lin Chen and apologized, saying, "I'm sorry for what happened just now."

Lin Chen smiled and waved his hands: "It's okay, this is very normal. And I think you did the right thing!" It is indeed commendable to be vigilant against outsiders.

At this time, someone else ran out, looked around, and finally saw the soldiers standing at the door and Lin Chen and Fang Lan standing outside the door.

"Jinzi, what's going on?" the man asked.

The soldier standing next to Lin Chen and the others replied, "It's okay."

The person questioning him also relaxed his vigilance, but urged: "Come back and help Xiao Li, there is a problem here again!" The man called Jinzi knew Lin Chen's ID and identity, and did not dare to neglect him easily.

He saluted again and said, "Sorry, I have to go help. Do you want to go in or look around somewhere else?" Seeing that Fang Lan was willing to go in, Lin Chen said, "Come in and sit down!" Just like that, the other party opened the door and let them in.

They walked for a while before arriving near the houses and getting close to the huge camouflaged ball.

Jinzi went back to help, and the person who originally called him also came over.

After the two met, Jin Zi said something to the man. Lin Chen knew that it might not be convenient for him to go over and say hello at this time.

The person who was talking to Jinzi then walked up to Lin Chen.

"Hello, I'm the squad leader here. I just heard that you have the ID of the Linhai Military District. Can you show it to me again? I need to verify it with my superiors." Lin Chen took out his ID and handed it to the other party.

"As I should." After taking the certificate, the squad leader went straight to the room and called to verify it.

Jin Zi explained beside him: "I hope you can understand that this is a normal process."

Lin Chen nodded in understanding: "Of course, you are very cautious and dedicated, which is commendable."

Watching all this, Fang Lan held Lin Chen's hand and said, "It's us who came here and caused them a lot of trouble."

Her words and expression revealed her guilt for not thinking things through.

Lin Chen smiled and comforted her: "Now that we are here, don't think about other things. After we verify your identity information, you can leave quickly."

Not long after, the monitor came out of the room. He became very respectful and walked up to Lin Chen, saluted, handed his ID back, and said solemnly: "I'm sorry, Professor Lin, I've wasted your time. I hope you can understand that we are also following the rules and regulations here."

Lin Chen replied: "I've said it before, I understand very well. So you don't have to pay special attention to me, I'm just passing by here to take a look."

Just as he finished speaking, another young man rushed out from the huge sphere, opened the door, and hurriedly walked towards the squad leader to report the situation.

"It can't be repaired. We have no idea what went wrong. It seems we need to ask our superiors to send an engineer over." The squad leader also looked embarrassed after hearing this.

"This is difficult. I'm afraid we'll have to wait for a while." Judging from the conversation between the squad leader and that comrade, it seemed that there was some problem with the circular radar.

The squad leader talked with the man for a few minutes, during which he felt that he seemed to have neglected Lin Chen.

So, he turned to Lin Chen and explained: "There was something wrong with the radar. You know, we are just a small village..."

He did not continue speaking to Lin Chen.

Obviously, this is not the first time they have dealt with something like this, but at the same time, they are well aware that this problem is not easy to solve.

At this time, Lin Chen turned on the system and began to scan the radar.

With a "ding" sound, the system scan is completed.

The following message appeared on the display: "H-1 primary radar, electric vacuum device failure. If you need a solution, the repair cost is . Please click OK or Cancel."

At this moment, the squad leader sighed and said, "In fact, this radar is almost scrapped, but we still have to rely on it to hold on here."

Lin Chen looked at the squad leader in front of him, feeling mixed emotions. He said to the squad leader: "It's just a radar, let me help you fix it."

The squad leader smiled bitterly, but there was still a glimmer of hope in his eyes: "You are not kidding?" He really couldn't believe that just someone he met could repair their radar.

Fang Lan heard their conversation and immediately helped Lin Chen explain: "What he said is true, anything can be repaired, and it can be repaired very well!"

After listening to Lin Chen and Fang Lan's explanation, the squad leader began to believe it. But he did not immediately ask Lin Chen to repair it, but returned to the main control room and called the headquarters.

After all, such repairs require confirmation from the headquarters and a series of procedures to follow, and an outsider cannot be allowed to touch their equipment at will.

When the monitor came out of the main control room, he already had a document in his hand. He said to Lin Chen with an apologetic look, "Professor Lin, I'm so sorry. I only knew to call you Professor Lin before, but I didn't know that you are actually an expert in the research and development and construction of our equipment."

Lin Chen just smiled. The squad leader continued, "I'd like to trouble you to sign this, so that we can keep a file and know what happened."

Lin Chen took the document and took a look at it. The general content stated that he was the person responsible for this maintenance.

After signing, there are several forms at the back, which list in detail the possible faults that may be detected during the maintenance, the maintenance methods and the final results.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "It's quite thoughtful."

After hearing this, the squad leader showed a proud expression on his face: "Of course, although we are just a small camp, what we do concerns the world, we must work hard to do it well."

The squad leader's words inspired Lin Chen to some extent. He put on his protective suit and said to the people behind him: "Xiao Li and I will go together!"

Everyone stood in the distance, watching the two of them open the door of the radar control cabin. After entering, there were some facilities inside the radar, and people outside could not see what was going on inside. But the squad leader still noticed that Fang Lan was staring at the radar.

At this time, Lin Chen had already completed the payment and confirmed the repair technology. The system instantly displayed the repair technology in front of him, and Lin Chen quickly absorbed the information. After all, this fault was not too difficult to solve, and there was no big problem.

When they returned to the radar's main control room, Lin Chen asked Xiao Li beside him, "You have been using this radar for many years, right?"

Xiao Li chuckled and said, "Yeah! It's been decades, older than me!"

Since the place where they are located is relatively remote and not an important strategic location, it is normal that the equipment has not been updated.

During the operation, Lin Chen introduced the internal situation of the radar to the people around him one by one: "There are two problems here. One is the aging of the electron tube, and the other is poor contact."

He went on to say, "Let's talk about the aging of the tube first. You know it has been used here for so many years, and aging is normal. We will just replace it with a new tube later."

After that, he pointed in another direction: "After long-term use, the metal of the pins and sockets of this component will be exposed to the air and oxidize, or the leads will fall off due to frequent disassembly and assembly."

Lin Chen brought a complete set of accessories, and he quickly replaced the aging electron tubes and components with poor contact. Xiao Li, who was standing next to him, was stunned.

"Are you a deity who has descended to earth? How did you know that our radar would malfunction and even bring spare parts with you?" Xiao Li exclaimed.

Lin Chen smiled and responded: "You also know that my job is to repair things, and I carry some tools and parts with me every day."

"Isn't this too much of a coincidence?" Xiao Li frowned, his face full of disbelief. But he still chose to believe Lin Chen's words, and sighed again and again:
