Chapter 129 Three Options for Submersibles! (Third Update!)

Shaking his throbbing head, Lin Man beckoned to his third uncle, Lin Yaoxi: "Third Uncle, please help take these two back to the hotel and have the hotel staff take good care of them."

"I understand!" Lin Yaoxi didn't say much. He took Lin Man's instructions, turned around and glanced at Rajad and Amar to make sure they had put their phones on the table and that their things were in their pockets. Then he went out and called two people to carry them back to the car.

I stepped on the gas and drove him to the hotel.

In the courtyard, Lin Man sat on a stool in a daze. He remembered that he seemed to have promised someone something during the day, but after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't remember what it was.

Just as he was bewildered, a cup was handed to him from the side, followed by his younger sister Lin Xiaoxi's voice: "Iced lemon honey water, have a sip first."

It was rare to see Lin Xiaoxi act so decently, so Lin Man reached out and took the honey water, then poured it into his mouth.

The cool water flowed down his throat and slowly slid into his stomach, relieving the unbearable heat in his body and clearing Lin Man's mind.

He finally remembered what he was supposed to do!

We need to adjust the blueprints for Qin Zheng's underwater vehicle!

Having figured out what he needed to do, he braced himself on the table with his left hand, slowly stood up, took two steps forward, and then realized that his body was really too weak.

Too controlled, I could only slowly squat down.

After pausing for two seconds, he raised his left hand and said, "Lin Xiaoxi, take me back to my room."

"Alright!" Lin Xiaoxi, unusually not acting like a demon, quickly ran to her older brother's side, carefully helped him upstairs.

After going upstairs, Lin Xiaoxi threw him onto the bed, paused by the bed for a while, then went into the bathroom, turned on the hot water, soaked a hot towel and covered Lin Man with it. She then brought two pillows and propped Lin Man's head up.

After doing all this, she lifted Lin Man's eyelids and looked at him for a while before slowly leaving the room.

Back in the yard, looking at the mess, I sighed and started tidying up.

Just as the yard was tidied up, Lin Yaoxi returned with his men. Seeing that the yard was clean, he mysteriously pulled Lin Xiaoxi to the pot, lifted the lid of the still steaming pot, took out a plate, and handed it to Lin Xiaoxi: "This is for you!"

A whole chicken lay quietly on a white porcelain plate. Lin Xiaoxi held the plate with both hands. "Third Uncle, you're so kind!"

Lin Yaoxi rubbed his aching lower back: "That's not because I'm good!"

"This is a genuine free-range hen, and I added a lot of medicinal herbs to it, yet these three drunkards kept drinking."

"He even got completely drunk!"

"Leaving it to them would be a waste, a terrible thing, so I served them soup instead."

"Take your time eating. I'll take the food back first. I just called your dad, and he said they're at the fish farm tonight and won't be back."

"After I leave, lock the door and be careful."

After instructing his niece, Lin Yaoxi quickly packed up the stove and pots, moved the things back into the car, and drove off.

After watching her third uncle leave, Lin Xiaoxi closed the door, locked it, and then went upstairs with the chicken in her arms.

He went into Lin Man's room, glanced at his older brother, and made sure he hadn't vomited and was sound asleep before taking the chicken back to his own room.

He pulled out his phone, opened Douyin (TikTok), started the live stream, applied a weird-looking filter to himself, pointed the camera at the chicken in front of him, and then said in a high-pitched voice, "Family, we're stewing chicken at home today. My brother drank all the soup, so I only managed to get one chicken. Now I'll show you how to eat a chicken in three bites!"

As the sound faded, the person began to vanish like a whirlwind.

On the other side, Lin Man, who was sleeping, suddenly woke up with a start. His eyes widened for two seconds, his CPU restarted, and only then did he begin to busy himself with his work.

I frantically searched for my phone.

I found my phone under my pillow and quickly turned on the screen.

【2026年8月11日01：47：32】

After checking the date and time, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had only slept for a few hours, and there were still several hours until dawn. If he hurried, he could still finish adjusting the blueprints that Qin Zheng needed.

He rubbed his head, got out of bed, went into the bathroom to wash up, and then returned to his computer. He first opened a document on the computer, then opened the system panel, found the submarine blueprints scanned by the system, and repeatedly looked at and recorded them.

As he watched and took notes, a progress bar quietly appeared below the drawing.

When the alarm clock rang at 6 a.m., the progress bar reached 100%, and the system also popped up a corresponding notification.

[A simplified version of the underwater vehicle blueprints has been obtained; upgrades and adjustments can be made as needed!]

Upon seeing this notification, Lin Man's eyes, which had turned into panda eyes, instantly perked up. He raised his hands and slapped himself twice to force himself to stay alert, and then reopened the blueprints.

This time, all the parts that were originally on a two-dimensional plane have become three-dimensional. When a part is selected, the corresponding description of the part will appear immediately.

Following the textual descriptions of these parts are explanations of improvements made to them.

There are solutions that offer lower prices while maintaining performance.

There are solutions that offer similar prices but with improved performance.

There are also expensive solutions that offer dramatically improved performance.

After inspecting several parts, Lin Man decisively abandoned the expensive but dramatically improved performance option.

This submersible has thousands of parts. Choosing the most expensive option would significantly increase the cost of each part, multiplying the overall cost of the submersible several times over.

He himself didn't care, but Qin Zheng couldn't. After all, his research still needed funding from higher authorities to sustain it, and if the price was too high, the authorities would never allocate funds to him.

After staring at the remaining two options for a while, Lin Man decided not to be a child anymore; he wanted them all, he wanted to grasp them both and use both hands.

The plan to ensure quality and reduce prices can leave funds for Qin Zheng's subsequent experiments.

A solution that guarantees price while improving performance can showcase Qin Zheng's capabilities.

If both plans are implemented together, Qin Zheng will definitely widen her eyes and then kneel down and call him "Grandpa"!

Taking a deep breath, Lin Man began to quickly adjust the plan.

He first selected a solution that could lower the price and generated the process drawings, then quickly selected a solution that would improve performance.

Of course, in this performance improvement plan, he replaced some important parts, which slightly increased the price, but not by much.

Lin Man imported the plan to his computer, then imported it to a USB drive. He put the USB drive in his pocket, went into the bathroom to tidy himself up, said "Go for it!" to the mirror, and then turned and left.

Passing by Lin Xiaoxi's room, he noticed that the girl's door was open, so he pushed the door open and prepared to call the girl out for breakfast.

Pushing open the door, I saw Lin Xiaoxi leaning against the headboard, her mouth wide open, drool dripping down her neck, while her phone was propped up beside her, still live-streaming.

Next to the phone was an empty plate, on which was a chicken carcass that had been gnawed clean, more so than a dog could have eaten.

Lin Man tiptoed to the phone that was broadcasting the live stream and began to read the comments flashing on the screen.

There were over a thousand people watching the live stream at any given time, but the comments were remarkably uniform.

【goddess!】

【goddess!】

【goddess!!】

goddess----

Lin Man laughed in anger. If someone like Lin Xiaoxi could become a goddess, then who was he?

Daniel Wu?

Daniel Wu is probably not as handsome as me!

With a gentle tap of his right index finger, the phone exited the live stream. Then, he slowly reached out and tapped Lin Xiaoxi on the head: "Get up!"

Lin Xiaoxi jumped out of bed after being tapped on the head. Seeing Lin Man with dark circles under his eyes, she tilted her head, gave a regretful look, and clicked her tongue: "You went to cheat on me?"

"I'm going out for breakfast now, do you want to come?"

"Go! Wait for me to brush my teeth!" Lin Xiaoxi jumped off the bed, bypassed Lin Man, and rushed into the bathroom to start washing up as fast as she could.

The brother and sister had just left the village and ordered their breakfast at the tea shop at the village entrance when a voice came from behind Lin Man: "Secretary Lin, so early?"

It's Qin Zheng!

Hearing the sound, Lin Man quickly turned around and saw that Qin Zheng also had a black eye. He chuckled twice and asked with a smile, "Professor Qin, what's wrong with your eyes—"

"Don't even mention it!" Qin Zheng quickly waved her hand, looking as if she didn't want to recall the past: "Last night, your General Manager Wang came over with a friend of his, saying that you were quite busy here, so they would treat us to dinner tonight."

"Then Mr. Wang's friend said, 'Just eating and drinking isn't fun, we need to add some games.'"

"We started playing cards, and then—"

"Then when I woke up, it was already four in the morning. My two students and I were lying in bed, unable to sleep, staring wide-eyed from four o'clock until just now."

"Your eyes—"

"Same here!" Lin Man also looked like he couldn't bear to recall it: "Yesterday I treated a businessman to dinner, and the three of us just drank fermented bayberry juice the whole time. I went back and slept for two hours, then got up again to work on the blueprints."

"I have accomplished my mission!" Lin Man took out the USB drive from his pocket, waved it in front of Qin Zheng, then took Qin Zheng's right hand and slapped the USB drive into her hand: "Based on your plan, I have optimized two solutions for you."

"Take this plan to Wang Ju, and he will arrange it for you."

"I have to go to work at the village committee after I finish eating, so I won't go with you."

After speaking with Qin Zheng, Lin Man turned to the owner of the dim sum restaurant and pointed at Qin Zheng, saying, "Brother Qiyong, this Professor Qin and his student are here to help us with our aquaculture. From now on, put it on my tab if they eat breakfast here."

"Alright!" Lin Qiyong turned around from behind the stove, glanced at Qin Zheng and the other two, and nodded vigorously: "From now on, the three of you will come over, and I'll bring you a braised egg every day!"

After speaking, Lin Qiyong handed over the breakfasts to Lin Man and Lin Xiaoxi. Lin Man took the breakfast, gave one portion to Lin Xiaoxi, and carried his own portion to the village committee.

After arriving at the village committee and having breakfast, he officially started his workday.

After reviewing the day's work, I realized that I didn't seem to have much to do.

He had already delegated the tasks that the villagers needed to handle to other members of the village committee, and the town had not assigned any tasks.

Even the work of cooperating in submitting reports has decreased.

Realizing he didn't have much work to do, Lin Man simply closed the office door, took out his phone, and started scrolling through Douyin (TikTok), researching how other village secretaries by the sea developed their tourism economies.

After scrolling for a short while, his face gradually darkened. He slammed his phone on the table, pointed at it, and began to curse: "What kind of behavior is this? This is utter moral decay and a complete collapse of social order!"

"They've abandoned all humanity for a little money!"

After hurling a few curses, he took his phone back and started watching the video again.

In the video, a young village party secretary who is clearly fit stands under a persimmon tree, wearing leather pants and shirtless, dancing seductively.

Swipe up with your thumb, and a new village party secretary appears.

He was in his forties, dressed in traditional ethnic clothing, with two red buns tied in his hair, making him look like Nezha.

Of course, we must remove the ethnic women's clothing he was wearing.

We also have to exclude the men behind him who were dressed the same way.

However, judging from their expressions, they seemed to be enjoying themselves.

This shouldn't be considered offensive; it's more like taking off one's mask!

Lin Man looked thoughtful as he watched the video.

This is a festival celebration video from a Miao village in Southwest China, which can boost the local tourism economy.

Hongxing Village doesn't have much traditional culture, so it can't develop ethnic characteristics.

We have no choice but to find another way!

I've got it! Let's take those unemployed folks from the village to the beach, build them a shed, and let them sing, dance, and rap there every day!

That's the decision!

Turning his head, Lin Man turned on his computer and began to organize the promotional plan and schedule for the beach.

Meanwhile, Guo Liangying, who had just woken up in her hotel room, received a call from an unknown number: "We've arrived in Guangzhou, where are you?"

Still drunk, Guo Liangying was stunned by the sudden question. It took her a while to finally remember that someone had asked her to meet today.

He sat on the bed, stretched his neck, straightened his body, brought the phone receiver to his mouth, and said in a deep voice, "I'll give you an address; you can just come over to make the deal."

"But let me make this clear first: four million barrels of crude oil, at $128 a barrel, for a total of $5.12 million, cash settlement. If you lose a single penny, none of you will leave here alive."

"Did you understand?"

At Guangzhou Yangcheng International Airport, Wu Yuansong looked up at the blazing sun overhead, but the intense heat emanating from it did not bother him at all.

The warmth, on the contrary, made him feel a chill down his spine!

But while a chill ran down his spine, the enormous profits behind this deal made his heart pound uncontrollably, his blood boil, and he broke out in a sweat.

He turned his head and glanced at the people beside him, then lowered his voice and said to the person on the other end of the phone, "I will transfer the $5.12 million to you in full, but I want you to remember that this is a huge sum of money, a huge sum of money that would drive anyone crazy."

"If I don't get the goods, I'll show you what cruelty is, and I'll also show you that you're just lucky to be born in China."

After threatening the other side, Wu Yuansong put down the phone and turned to the people behind him: "Let's go, now let's go and welcome our wealth."
