Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

Chapter 788 Kilogram Frenzy

"Uncle, let's go together." Shen Ge had already stood up and picked up her cloth bag.

"Whose car is this?" Lin Weijun gestured with his chin toward the SUV parked outside the courtyard.

"It was given to her by her parents," Lin Quan answered readily.

Fearing his daughter would suffer, Shen Cheng left her a set of villa keys and this car before he left.

The three got into the car and headed straight for the town.

"How much do you two earn?" Lin Weijun asked as he drove.

"I earn 4,800 a month, and he earns around 8,500," Shen Ge replied fluently.

"Does a non-commissioned officer earn more than an officer?" Lin Weijun frowned.

"Officers retire early, while non-commissioned officers have to reach the rank of first-class sergeant to receive it," Shen Ge said in a calm tone. "However, the retirement pay is indeed quite substantial, with additional payments for those who have performed meritorious service."

It's all public information; you can find it online. She didn't hide anything.

Upon arriving in town, Lin Quan bought some cold dishes and casually brought his father three packs of cigarettes and two bottles of liquor.

His corporal allowance and merit bonus were all stored in his salary card. Before he could even take them out, Shen Ge had already scanned the code to pay.

After returning to the village, Lin Quan carried the fishing rod, and Shen Ge carried the small stool. The two walked towards the fishpond one after the other.

The family held a three-day feast, and the relatives praised the food highly. The parents were beaming with pride, and Lin Quan felt relieved.

After staying for half a month, he started the car and drove Shen Ge out of Baoshan Town.

I'm not going there for further training; I'm going there to mentor people.

The amphibious reconnaissance brigade, also known as the Marine Corps, and the submarine flotilla both belong to the Chinese Navy.

Lin Quan's exceptional physical abilities had long been noted down by many naval officers.

The new submarines have been commissioned and are ready for deployment, and the navy urgently needs a group of top-notch personnel who can operate the new equipment.

Back at the brigade headquarters, Lin Quan knocked on the door, entered, and saluted: "Brigade Commander, Chief Instructor!"

"That new car at the gate is assigned to the Bladepoint Squad." Long Baichuan handed over a letter. "This time, you're being transferred to the Submarine Academy for a year, responsible for the physical training of all the trainees in Project T."

"Complete the mission with determination!" Lin Quan's voice was crisp and clear.

"Work hard, don't let our amphibious team lose face." Wu Gang laughed.

"Absolutely not shameful," Lin Quan replied without the slightest hesitation.

"The training intensity at the submarine academy isn't high, but for us amphibious soldiers, being able to operate a submarine is a skill in itself. This year, we'll take the opportunity to become familiar with it," Wu Gang added.

"Pack your things, report for duty first thing tomorrow morning." Long Baichuan patted him on the shoulder.

"Yes!" Lin Quan saluted crisply, turned and left, putting the key and letter of introduction into his pocket.

"The Blade Point Squad will have to be postponed for another year." Long Baichuan sighed, but a smile played on his lips.

"The selection process can begin now. Liu Xiaoshan and Deng Jiuguang should start practicing... Once our team is established, the submarine flotilla will have to think twice before trying to poach anyone." Wu Gang leaned back in his chair and tapped his fingers on the table.

"Alright!" Long Baichuan slapped his thigh.

The two immediately decided: the Knife-Edge Squad, let's form a team first.

In this way, even if the submarine squadron really targets Lin Quan, they can confidently reply: "The person has already been decided, we won't let him go."

Wu Gang had privately thought about Lin Quan: he was highly skilled, quick-witted, and would excel anywhere.

He spent less than three months at the sea training ground, and exceeded the standards in physical fitness and shooting. He also obtained driving qualifications for rubber boats, assault boats, amphibious vehicles, off-road vehicles, and helicopters.

Once he enters the submarine academy, he'll probably be able to master the submarine's procedures within six months.

Fortunately, it was only a one-year secondment. If he had actually been transferred to the submarine flotilla, Long Baichuan and Wu Gang would never have signed that document.

It takes many years for an amphibious reconnaissance battalion to train a top-notch reconnaissance soldier...

Indeed, in the eyes of Long Baichuan and Wu Gang, Lin Quan was a truly sharp and capable individual.

Liu Xiaoshan once mentioned that Lin Quan carried six logs and ran five kilometers a while ago.

The car stopped at the entrance of the submarine academy, and Lin Quan handed over his identification and letter of introduction.

"Wait a moment." The sentry nodded to him, then turned and dialed a number.

A few minutes later, a young officer in civilian clothes strode out to greet him.

"Commander!" Lin Quan raised his hand in salute.

"Are you Lin Quan from the Amphibious Reconnaissance Battalion?" Shang Tang returned the greeting, his voice crisp.

"yes!"

"I am Shangtang." He extended his hand, a smile playing on his lips.

"Hello, Instructor Shang." Lin Quan shook hands, his palm steady and his knuckles firm.

"Drive the car in." Shang Tang glanced at the brand-new SUV, opened the car door, and sat in the passenger seat.

"Commander, which way should we go?" Lin Quan asked.

"Turn right." He added immediately after saying that, "Did the brigade even assign you a special car?"

"The equipment of the Bladepoint Squad," Lin Quan answered bluntly. "I'm not qualified to use a public vehicle yet... Captain Long and Captain Wu said they'd let me drive over to practice and improve my driving skills along the way."

Physical fitness, shooting, and swimming have always been under the jurisdiction of Shangtang.

He was unhappy about the sudden arrival of a reconnaissance soldier who took over both training and personnel.

"Let's stop here." Shang Tang raised his hand to indicate, then turned to look at him: "I heard you're in good physical condition?"

"It'll do." Lin Quan said flatly.

"Shall we have a match another day?" Shang Tang asked with a smile.

"How much weight are you carrying?" Lin Quan asked in return.

"Thirty kilograms." Shang Tang paused.

"It's boring." Lin Quan shook his head.

Shang Tang was taken aback, raising an eyebrow slightly: "So how many do you plan to carry?"

"One hundred kilograms."

"How far?"

"You run 1000 meters, I'll run 3000 meters." Lin Quan smiled, without any other expression.

He had no desire to come to the submarine academy.

Those who can hold their breath underwater for three minutes and swim at 6 meters per second by using their tail fins have long understood the nature of ocean currents.

At 6 meters per second, that's 21.6 kilometers per hour, or 12 knots... half a beat faster than many light submarines.

People who dare to venture into submarines carrying bombs don't need to learn how to hold their breath and breathe here.

But an order is an order. He obeyed without asking any questions or saying anything more.

Shang Tang stared at him for two seconds: "Running 3,000 meters with 100 kilograms? You really can do it?"

Very few people know about Lin Quan's background.

In the amphibious reconnaissance battalion, Liu Xiaoshan, Deng Jiuguang, and Wu Yun had seen him climb the reef at four in the morning carrying an ammunition box; Long Baichuan and Wu Gang had seen a test video of him tearing a three-millimeter steel plate with his bare hands.

Several veteran naval staff officers reviewed his comprehensive data and immediately locked it in a secure cabinet.

This matter is being kept under tight wraps... If the Army Special Forces hear any rumors, they'll immediately request his arrival; if the Air Force Airborne Special Operations Brigade knows he can still calibrate his weapon while parachuting, they'll probably issue a secondment order overnight.

Shang Tang was just an instructor in the submarine squadron and didn't have the authority to access those top-secret files.

I moved my luggage into the apartment and also took a look around the office.

"Come on, let me introduce you to the others." Shangtang stepped forward to lead the way.

"Thank you for your help, Instructor Shang." Lin Quan followed half a step behind.

"Captain of the 377 boat, Lü Fengguang."

"Captain Lü."

"Political Commissar Chen Yuan of the 377 boat."

"Political Commissar Chen."

"Project T: Psychologist Jin Ziqing"

"Dr. Kim."

He saluted in turn. The three men's epaulets shone brightly; he was a sergeant, and his manners were impeccable, his movements swift and precise.

A dozen minutes later, Chen Yuan led him into an office.
