140: A big thing

Kadeyafu didn't understand why Xu Ning would make such a request to Makarov. In his opinion, Tailayev Shipyard and Nikolaev Shipyard had no direct connection, and such a proposal was too abrupt.

But what he didn't know was that the Makarov before him was precisely the younger brother of the person in charge of Nikolaev Shipyard.

Hearing this request, Anna looked frightened and uneasy, while Makarov remained silent, a hint of undetectable coldness flashing in his eyes.

Xu Ning had long anticipated such a reaction. After all, as a foreigner, making such a request was indeed unbelievable.

He was betting that the other party also had doubts in their heart.

People often say that to gain wealth and status, you have to dare to take risks.

Therefore, Xu Ning was not impatient. One of his hands gently rested on the naval gun, as if tenderly touching a beloved object.

After a long time, Makarov finally said, "Alright, I promise you. If you can really bring a more advanced naval gun, I can introduce you to the people at Nikolaev Shipyard, but whether you succeed is beyond my power."

"We always respect talent and never overlook capable people."

Xu Ning tried hard to suppress his inner excitement and replied, "Since you've agreed, please give me two days. By then, I will bring the new generation naval gun for a demonstration."

Makarov smiled and said, "I can't wait to see the meeting in two days."

The two chatted casually for a few more sentences. During this time, Xu Ning proposed wanting to see the control room, but Makarov refused, citing that key components were being installed inside.

Because of the new generation naval gun, everyone had their own calculations in mind, and the interest in talking faded.

Soon after, Xu Ning said goodbye with Kadeyafu.

After leaving the dock, the two got into the jeep. Kadeyafu was still in a daze, as if he didn't even remember how they left.

He looked at Xu Ning, wanting to shout loudly, but was worried about outsiders hearing.

"Mr. Xu, are you crazy? We can't even make the AK-130 naval gun now, but you said you can produce a new version of the naval gun for them to see in two days."

He had asked Security Guard Lie and learned that the AK-130 naval gun hadn't even been produced yet when something happened to Adrian.

That's why he said the factory couldn't even produce the current version.

Xu Ning smiled and said, "Is it that difficult to build a new version of the naval gun?"

Kadeyafu could hardly believe his ears. He looked at Xu Ning as if looking at a lunatic.

"I don't even know if you're joking or serious now. You're not thinking of giving up on Malyshev, are you?"

Xu Ning replied, "Have some confidence, Mr. Kadeyafu. Do you have so little confidence in me? Don't forget, I also have the ability to develop weapons, just like that sniper rifle I used before."

Of course, he couldn't reveal the secret that he had just activated a simulator to obtain naval gun data.

Originally, he planned to directly obtain the data of the destroyer, but found that he could only obtain information about the naval gun through touch. This was the first time he had encountered this situation.

Xu Ning speculated that perhaps the destroyer was too large, and he could only obtain data from the part he touched. So he proposed visiting the control room, actually wanting to see if he could obtain information about the entire destroyer by touching the control room.

Unfortunately, Makarov refused his request. It seemed he had to find an opportunity to board the ship again.

At this moment, Kadeyafu was considering how to save the face of Malyshev Military Factory as much as possible at the meeting in two days.

As for that second-generation naval gun, it could only be left to its own devices.

Xu Ning gazed out the window and asked, "Tell me about the situation with that naval gun. Is it related to Adrian?"

Kadeyafu was silent for a moment before replying, "You already have some guesses?"

Xu Ning responded, "Just a rough guess."

Kadeyafu sighed, "It's pretty much as you thought..."

In fact, Adrian not only possessed excellent management skills like Xu Ning but also had extraordinary research and development skills.

It was precisely because of Adrian's outstanding contributions that Kadeyafu's grandfather felt confident entrusting the factory to him and firmly believed that Adrian would soon lead Malyshev out of its predicament.

Facts proved that Adrian did not disappoint.

When Kadeyafu was preparing to leave, the new generation naval gun that Adrian was responsible for was already nearing completion.

Therefore, before he left, he was able to catch a glimpse of Adrian's design sketches.

However, all of this vanished with Adrian's death.

He had secretly inquired about the new type of naval gun from Security Guard Lie and sent people to examine Adrian's body, but the results were all in vain.

The new naval gun was not yet finished, and Adrian unfortunately disappeared, while Security Guard Lie had only briefly seen the design drawings and did not remember the details.

He had thought those lost design drawings would never be found again, but unexpectedly, he saw the finished product today.

After learning the truth, Xu Ning fell into deep thought.

"So, Menskyuk Military Industry might be the mastermind behind Adrian's murder."

Kadeyafu nodded in agreement. He had the same idea.

"I will ask Uncle Ivanyafu to investigate Menskyuk Military Industry. Uncle Adrian cannot have sacrificed in vain!"

Kadeyafu had spent two years with Adrian and received a lot of care during that time.

His determination for revenge had never wavered.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of a way to save Malyshev Military Factory.

If he could catch the head of Menskyuk Military Industry or find evidence of their murder of Adrian within the next two days.

Did this mean giving Mr. Makarov an answer?

"Yes, it's impossible to build a new gun in two days, let alone one more advanced than the gun developed by Uncle Adrian."

"Perhaps, these two days are actually an excuse Xu Ning made to buy time, with the purpose of investigating the relationship between Menskyuk Military Industry and Adrian?"

He was inwardly triumphant, believing he understood Mr. Xu's brilliance.

He said excitedly, "I understand, Mr. Xu, please rest assured, I will handle this matter!"

Xu Ning stared blankly at Kadeyafu, a hint of confusion on his face.

"Did I say something?"

...

After returning to Malyshev Military Factory, Kadeyafu hurriedly left with Ivanyafu's subordinates. His face was full of excitement, seemingly preparing to undertake a major task.

Xu Ning shrugged, a little bewildered. Since Kadeyafu didn't elaborate, he didn't ask further, because he also had important matters to attend to.

As night fell, Xu Ning returned to his office, closed the door, brewed a cup of rich black coffee, and braced himself to start drawing design blueprints.

The AK-130 naval gun was indeed very advanced in this era, but Xu Ning possessed even more advanced technology. On the destroyer, he had already completed the technical upgrade of the naval gun.

Now, he not only mastered all the data of the new type of naval gun but also knew how to further improve this gun. Next, he only needed to draw according to the steps.
