231: Finally back to Yanbohai

We need to prepare a large seaside repair workshop to make full preparations for the overhaul of the great bear,

Niu De said. "This will take a process."

Liu Xiaolin heard this and smiled, "Hmm, this process is very complicated and requires a lot of funds."

Kayaski watched these two people working in concert and knew that the cost of this overhaul would definitely not be small, but not letting them repair it wouldn't work either.

"Got it, you guys go back and make a good budget," Kayaski said helplessly.

Liu Xiaolin looked at Niu De with sparkling eyes, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

At this moment, Liu Xiaolin's ear rang out the prompt sound from the Strongest Manufacturing System.

"Detected the host has a new requirement. Now activating the Strongest Submarine Repair System, presenting a repair gift package. Do you want to open it now?"

Liu Xiaolin, not surprised at all, had a smile on his face and silently said, "Open."

Ding dong!

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining a large submarine repair workshop, including a dedicated dock, a maximum horsepower lifting machine, and several gantry cranes."

Ding dong!

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining one copy each of the Submarine Repair Technology and Training Manual."

Liu Xiaolin thought to himself, this solves a big problem. There's no need to worry about time or technology; all that's needed is to increase recruitment and training efforts.

As for the workshop, let's install it right by the coast, half in the sea and half on the beach; that's the most convenient. That large empty Space next to the Explorer II dedicated dock should be enough.

"Let's install the submarine repair workshop next to the dedicated dock now." Liu Xiaolin issued the command to the Strongest Manufacturing System in his mind.

"Received the host's command. The large submarine repair workshop has been installed."

Liu Xiaolin silently said, "Exit system."

Liu Xiaolin, who now had a plan, was very happy. He looked at Niu De and said, "Engineer Niu, when we get back, we need to quickly find a large number of skilled workers. I think we'll need about a thousand people."

Niu De rolled his eyes at Liu Xiaolin. "Do you know that large shipyards have nearly two thousand skilled workers? We're repairing a submarine, you know. A thousand people probably won't be enough."

"We'll recruit as many as we need. As long as the budget is sufficient, it's fine." Liu Xiaolin wasn't worried about the workers' wages either; anyway, Great Bear Country is definitely footing the bill.

After Explorer II traveled for over ten hours, it finally reached the boundary between the High Seas and Dragon Country's territorial waters. Great Bear Country's warships were still waiting for them there.

Niu De commanded Explorer II to surface and had all the officers and crew of the great bear transfer to their warships, leaving only Ivanov and seven or eight maintenance personnel to follow Liu Xiaolin to Dragon Country.

"Ivanov, old buddy, let's go. Come with me and see Dragon Country's advanced technological productivity." Kayaski was also going to Dragon Country. Because Liu Xiaolin believed that the signing of the relevant contract for the great bear's repair required Kayaski to act as a liaison. Kayaski was naturally also willing to go to Dragon Country, because if the major task of repairing the great bear was handled well, promotion and salary increase would happen very quickly.

Since Kayaski started doing business with Liu Xiaolin, he had already been promoted three levels in a row. This time, he not only perfectly completed the great bear's search and rescue mission but was also authorized to participate in the review and signing of the repair contract, which was enough to show his importance in the hearts of the military high command.

Ivanov naturally understood this principle, and his attitude towards Kayaski became even more amiable and friendly. "Dear Kayaski, I am very happy to be able to travel to Dragon Country with you."

"In two days, we will arrive at General Manager Liu's Wanderer Aerospace Headquarters. We can also visit wanderer one." Kayaski sat comfortably in his seat and said with a smile.

"Who wants to visit wanderer one?" Liu Xiaolin walked over and asked curiously.

"General Manager Liu, I was just chatting with Ivanov. He said he wanted to see your spaceplane after arriving at the destination," Kayaski said quickly.

"No problem. If you catch our Xingji Travel Group setting off, you can also follow our spaceplane for a trip to Space. The tour fee is halved," Liu Xiaolin said very generously.

"General Manager Liu is truly too generous. I am very happy." Ivanov was happy as soon as he heard it.

Kayaski rolled his eyes at him and said, "Even with the tour fee halved, you wouldn't be willing to go."

"Is it very expensive?" Ivanov asked curiously.

"Not expensive. The normal tour fee is five million, half price for you is two million five hundred thousand." Liu Xiaolin smiled after saying this number.

Kayaski and Ivanov didn't understand why Liu Xiaolin was laughing, but they had a common feeling: Two million five hundred thousand is also very expensive.

"Then I still won't go. Just taking a look at your wanderer one is enough." Although Ivanov was a Captain, he really didn't have that much savings.

At this moment, they had already entered Dragon Country's territorial waters. In order to proceed at full speed, Explorer II still submerged to a depth of 1500 meters to return.

They took turns monitoring the status of the great bear on the large screen, paying attention at all times to whether the tow rope had detached or shifted. What was reassuring was that everything went smoothly, and thus they safely arrived in the Yanbo Sea area two days later.

"This is the Ground Command Center, calling General Manager Liu."

Just after arriving in the Yanbo Sea area, Zhang Weichen began contacting Liu Xiaolin.

"This is Liu Xiaolin, please speak."

"General Manager Liu, a large workshop suddenly appeared near our dedicated dock yesterday morning. What's going on? Do you know?" As soon as Zhang Weichen saw the suddenly appearing workshop, he guessed whether it might have been arranged by General Manager Liu.

"Yes. I arranged for people to install it. Because we are going to carry out a major overhaul of the great bear here," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.

"Ah? Letting us repair the great bear? Do we have that many people?" Zhang Weichen was also the first to think of this question.

"Recruit as much as possible. Even those without experience can be recruited and trained first. Anyway, this matter cannot be completed in one or two months. According to the usual practice for overhauling submarines abroad, it usually takes one or two years." Liu Xiaolin had collected a lot of relevant information these past few days.

"Understood." Zhang Weichen had it figured out and didn't say anything more.

"This is Explorer II. In ten minutes, I will reach the destination. We will dock the great bear at the repair workshop. Over."

"This is the Ground Command Center. Professional personnel will go to assist in ten minutes with the great bear docking at the repair workshop's dock. Over."

Ten minutes later, Explorer II surfaced and entered the repair workshop area and parked the great bear on the lifting dock waiting on the seabed. Immediately, people submerged to the seabed, removed all the hooks of the tow rope. After Explorer II retracted the tow rope, it quickly sailed away and docked at the dedicated dock.

Here, the lifting dock slowly rose, and after the great bear submarine experienced half a month of continuous seabed navigation, it finally returned to the surface again!
