293: Maintenance status of the interior of the Big Bear

“Haha, whether it's wanderer one, or Explorer II, or the lithography machine, weren't they all projects carried out under your leadership? When all is said and done, they are all your achievements, there's no difference,” Kayaski said pointedly.

“Exactly, you didn't let us praise your lithography machine project, turns out you were waiting for us to praise your wanderer one and Explorer II projects,” Niu De also said.

“Alright, alright, you all let Xiaolin off, you can't bully him anymore,” Hong Tongtong said, seeing everyone teasing Liu Xiaolin, and started to speak up for him.

“Who's bullying him? Aren't we praising him for his achievements?” Niu De and Zhang Weichen said in unison.

“Alright, I know you are all praising me, thank you for your praise!” Liu Xiaolin ignored everyone's teasing. “Let's go, take me and Tongtong inside the great bear to take a look.”

“Okay, we'll go now,” Niu De also stopped joking.

He led Liu Xiaolin and Hong Tongtong onto the passage leading to the offshore platform.

This passage extended directly from the coast to the sea, connecting with the offshore platform, about five hundred meters long. The railings on both sides were high to prevent pedestrians from being blown off the passage into the sea by strong winds and waves.

“Wow, this passage is so long,” Hong Tongtong exclaimed as she walked.

“Look at you, today you're like someone who's never seen the world. Haha,” Liu Xiaolin said with a smile. “Right, stand here and don't move, I'll take a few photos of you and send them to my Auntie to see, so she knows I brought you out to look around.”

“Hmph, if I tell Auntie that you brought me here to see the progress of the submarine repair, Auntie will still scold you,” Hong Tongtong said with a radiant smile while posing, pretending to be dissatisfied.

“Don't be like that, isn't it good here? You can see the sea, and you can see the submarine, what a great thing. Others want to see but can't,” Liu Xiaolin took out his phone and said while taking photos for Hong Tongtong.

They walked the five-hundred-meter passage in over ten minutes.

Niu De and his group didn't say much this time, just quietly followed behind, watching the two of them laughing and playing.

“Ah, is this the great bear?” Hong Tongtong said, looking at the massive object in front of her.

“Yes, this is the great bear, which our Explorer II towed back with great effort,” Liu Xiaolin recalled the thrilling scene from back then, feeling as if it happened yesterday.

“I knew you were the best,” Hong Tongtong looked at Liu Xiaolin, her eyes full of adoring stars.

At this moment, the great bear was not as battered as when it first surfaced. The damaged areas on the bow and hull were almost repaired, and the propeller at the stern had been removed. The new propeller had not been installed yet, making it look like a large fish missing its tail.

“Let's go, let's go inside and take a look,” Liu Xiaolin pulled Hong Tongtong and walked into the opened hatch.

“How is the repair of our quantum sonar detection system progressing? This is the most important part,” Liu Xiaolin asked, grabbing the key project as soon as he entered.

The repair of the bow just now was just superficial damage. The quantum sonar detection system relates to the eyes and ears of the great bear. Without this system, the great bear would be a deaf and blind piece of junk.

“We assign tasks daily according to the fault list. So far, the tasks have been completed according to the predetermined goals,” Zhang Weichen is the leader of the repair group one, specifically in charge of the repair of the quantum sonar detection system.

“Okay, that's good. It would be even better if the speed could be a little faster. After all, if the great bear can see and hear, other fault repairs will be easier,” Liu Xiaolin said.

“By the way, I remember the contract we signed was a 40% prepayment, 50% payment after three months, and the remaining 10% paid upon completion. Has it been more than three months since the contract was signed?” Liu Xiaolin was most concerned about funding.

“Yes, the finance department received 14.15 billion dragon currency last week. Great Bear Country is quite timely with payments, we don't need to rush them,” Niu De said with a smile.

“That's because *you* didn't rush them. Kayaski and I have been keeping track of this payment date and have been reminding the Great Bear Country military,” Ivanov said from the side.

“Oh, thank you Ivanov for your strong support,” Liu Xiaolin said with a smile. He thought to himself, aren't you worried that the submarine repair costs are too high and work might stop if they don't pay? But he saw through it without saying it, still expressing full gratitude.

Next, Liu Xiaolin inspected the repairs in various aspects, including the dedicated channel communication system, negative pressure power system, battery remote control system, anti-corrosion valve switch series, hull restoration and coating, etc. The overall results were quite good and within the normal cycle. As long as the repairs are carried out step by step, timely delivery will not be a problem.

“You've all worked hard, thank you for working overtime,” Liu Xiaolin looked at the great bear, which had undergone tremendous changes before his eyes, watching it go from being severely damaged and on its last breath to now having some vitality, and soon, with everyone's efforts, it would regain its vigor. He was very moved and proud. “Creation is more vital and more pride-inducing than destruction. I am proud of you!”

Niu De looked at Liu Xiaolin's serious expression of gratitude, feeling a bit unaccustomed to it, as they were all used to being lighthearted. “Alright, alright, stop being so sentimental. This is our job, it's what we should do,” he said.

Others also started to laugh. “Exactly, we all got overtime pay.”

“Haha, you talking so seriously, I'm a bit afraid to respond,” Kayaski also said.

“Alright, then I won't be polite,” Liu Xiaolin was amused by everyone. “Take care of yourselves, keep working hard, and do a good job!”

“That's the right tone, we like General Manager Liu like this, haha,” Niu De said with a chuckle.

“I just walked around the great bear, front and back, it's really big here!” Hong Tongtong popped out from somewhere, saying with a smile.

“Of course it's big, this is the largest and most advanced submarine in the world,” Liu Xiaolin said with a smile, looking at Hong Tongtong with sweat on the tip of her nose. “Are you tired from walking around?”

“I'm a bit tired, and hungry from walking,” Hong Tongtong had only eaten a little snack in the morning.

“Okay, we've seen enough here, let's go back to Headquarters. We should be able to have lunch by the time we get to Headquarters,” Liu Xiaolin said.

“It's fine, you can eat anytime you're hungry,” Niu De said. “General Manager Liu, did you forget? You said the cafeteria must provide food 24 hours a day.”

“Ah, I forgot about that rule,” Liu Xiaolin said with a smile. “Then let's go back to Headquarters immediately and eat.”
