The two chatted about this and that, but the top official of Guangzhou had something on his mind and couldn't say much. At nine o'clock, he found a dormitory to rest.

Li Song continued writing in his dormitory, as he would be on a ship that night and would reach his destination.

Ma Shengli was also awake, as he was waiting for news.

On the southern sea, Section Chief Zhou and his team grew increasingly nervous as they watched the distance draw closer. Finally, at 2:30 a.m., after confirming the location several times, Section Chief Zhou made contact via radio.

"Mr. Li." A dozen minutes later, Ma Shengli hurriedly arrived at Li Song's dormitory, the door of which was open.

"arrive!"

"At this coordinate, there's an orange buoy. The item is five meters underwater, weighing a little over two tons. The data weighs 1.5 tons and is divided into ten packages. Just pull the white rope on the buoy, and you can haul the item up. The counterweight will drop down on its own." Li Song showed a coordinate point, which was only five nautical miles from the current ship's coordinates.

"Okay!" Ma Shengli quickly wrote down what Li Song had said.

"Mr. Li, I'll be going now," Ma Shengli quickly said.

Section Chief Zhou, who was on the southern sea, received the telegram half an hour after sending the coded message.

After deciphering the code, I quickly went to the cockpit: "These are the coordinates. Note the buoys on the sea surface. The items are five meters underwater. Pull the white rope directly. There are ten packages."

The reason for dividing the packages into ten is that a single package would be too heavy. Although the materials in the packages are buoyant and easy to pull in the sea, it would be troublesome to get them onto the ship.

Now, the packages are divided into ten parcels, each weighing only a little over 400 kilograms, which can be lifted by a few strong men.

Upon receiving the order, the captain and others immediately set sail towards the coordinates.

More than ten minutes later, the searchlights on the deck began to scan the sea, and everyone was very nervous.

Some people were even using binoculars to carefully observe the sea.
"Over there!" The orange buoy stood out prominently under the sweeping light.

Section Chief Zhou and the others looked at the orange buoy, which wasn't very big. Just to be on the safe side, they launched their small boat and headed towards it.

There is a white rope and a brown rope on the orange buoy.

The people on the small boat put the white rope around the rope that was brought down from the large boat.

After securing the boat, Section Chief Zhou and the others rowed it away and then began making hand gestures.

The ship started the winch and pulled the rope.

The orange buoy swayed a few times as it was pulled by the rope.

Then the people on the small boat saw a white package floating up and down.

The orange buoy and its counterweight sank directly to the seabed.

"Ten!" Section Chief Zhou and the others counted carefully, and then began to drag them away.

The packages were strung together on a rope, which was hemp rope, with each package 20 meters apart.

The first package was loaded onto the ship, then quickly the second, and the third.

Ten packages were loaded onto the deck, and Section Chief Zhou and the others then hoisted the small boat up.

All ten packages were wrapped in plastic. Section Chief Zhou and his team checked them one by one and found no signs of leakage. They quickly reported this and began to turn around according to plan.

At 3:30, Ma Shengli arrived at Li Song's dormitory: "Mr. Li, the goods have been received."

"That's good, Mr. Ma, you should rest too," Li Song said.

"Mr. Li, I'll be leaving now. Your return to your hometown will be arranged." At this moment, the top leader also came over to say hello.

"Okay." Li Song nodded. Then the top leader left under the cover of night. No one could sleep until they got what they wanted.

Li Song quickly put down what he was holding and went to sleep.

When Li Song woke up again, it was already 9:30. He quickly got up to wash up and opened the dormitory door to see if there was anything to eat in the cafeteria.

When I went downstairs, I ran into Zhu Ling, who was washing clothes and hanging them to dry.

"Good morning, Mr. Li." Zhu Ling greeted Li Song when she saw that he was only getting up at this time.

"Good morning, you're doing laundry so early?" Li Song looked at Zhu Ling, who was wearing a white shirt, brown pants, and white leather shoes, and seemed even more energetic.

"I'm just killing time anyway, and besides, there's a washing machine, so I'll help my aunt wash the blankets," Zhu Ling said.

"Don't call me 'sir' either. Others call me that because we have a working relationship, plus because I'm a Hong Kong businessman."

"Actually, my hometown is also Chang'an. You're older than me, so I'll still call you Sister Lin. Calling you Sister Zhu doesn't sound right," Li Song said with a smile. (PS: This book has no female lead, only women.)
“Mr. Li, this isn’t appropriate,” Zhu Ling said, somewhat taken aback.

"Just call me Ah Song, it'll sound less formal. You go ahead with your work," Li Song said, then prepared to leave.

“Li…Ah Song, you’re going back to your hometown of Chang’an tomorrow, and I’m also going back to the Chang’an Film Studio tomorrow to see if there are any scenes that need to be reshot.” ​​Zhu Ling asked as she saw Li Song about to leave.

"No problem, I'll arrange it later." Li Song nodded.

"Thank you, Mr. Li," Zhu Ling said.

"Sister Lin, you're too kind. I'll go and get back to work now," Li Song said.

Zhu Ling watched as Li Song went to the cafeteria.

Li Song had just arrived at the cafeteria when Ma Shengli also arrived, clearly having just gotten up as well.

"Mr. Ma, why don't you sleep a little longer?" Li Song asked.

Actually, Ma Shengli heard Li Song open the dormitory door as soon as he got up, but since Li Song was talking to Zhu Ling downstairs, Ma Shengli didn't come down.

“We’ve already slept well. We can stay up all night; when we were young, we could go for days and nights without sleep. But you young people, why don’t you get some more sleep?” Ma Shengli said.

"I woke up hungry," Li Song replied, and then Wu Bing brought over the fried noodles.

"Mr. Ma, have you made arrangements for tomorrow?" Li Song asked.

"Yes, I'll make the arrangements in a bit, Mr. Li, don't worry."

“Ms. Zhu Ling is also going back to Chang’an. Why don’t you come along? We’ll need Mr. Ma to make arrangements for our factory staff to go on business trips later,” Li Song said casually, adding that the social order wasn’t very good these days.

It's not uncommon for top researchers to get into trouble due to unexpected events, such as robberies.

I don't want my technical staff or researchers to encounter trouble on trains when they're on business trips. There are all sorts of people on trains, and if something bad happens, the losses will be huge.

"Don't worry!"

"Mr. Ma, could the railway company reserve a large plot of land for us?" Li Song asked again.

"How big do you want?" Ma Shengli asked after taking a bite of fried noodles.

“Our follow-up plan is not only to build a car factory, but also to establish an aircraft manufacturing plant.” Li Song thought about the safety of the aircraft, and how some flights simply disappeared, vanishing from places with GPS coverage and countless radars covering the entire Earth.

Whether it was an accident or intentional, perhaps those who disappeared are in some secret base, or perhaps they are long gone.
