91: Chapter 91 Enhancement 3.0, Pan Zhou Dan Possession

Inside the military port.

Eleven researchers from the Longke Academy and thirteen from the military factory were giving the pearl river 888 a brand-new version of upgrades.

The reason the small fishing boat received such treatment wasn't just because Jiang Chen had become an academician candidate, but more importantly, because of the two major military achievements from his last voyage.

This made the Dragon Cry realize that with the small fishing boat's combat power, it not only didn't need an escort but could actually escort other ships instead.

Therefore!

Long Xiaotian, Commander Tang Ze, and others directly granted the small fishing boat sufficient authority, allowing Jiang Chen to give the small fishing boat a full, state-level "major health checkup" according to his own ideas.

This made Jiang Chen so happy he was almost drooling.

He had long wanted to modify the small fishing boat into an aircraft carrier, and then replace... ah no, coexist peacefully with the Dragon Cry!

Jiang Chen stood at the port, happily watching everyone busy updating and upgrading the small fishing boat.

"Be careful! That is the Xinhuo Xiangchuan Energy Device. The military factory only has a few sets at the moment. If one breaks, we won't get another until next month!"

Jiang Chen couldn't help but remind the soldiers who were lifting the ton-heavy energy device for installation.

This upgrade wasn't just about expanding the ship.

It was mainly about upgrading the energy device and... installing a short-range missile silo at the stern.

Regarding this short-range missile silo, Jiang Chen hadn't requested it at first.

He mainly wanted to upgrade the energy device and expand the ship.

But unexpectedly!

Under Long Xiaotian's insistence, the military factory approved a small missile silo.

Although this silo was very small and only installed with three short-range missiles with a range of less than 100 kilometers, for Jiang Chen, it was still an unexpected surprise.

Generally, only destroyers have anti-ship missiles.

And Jiang Chen's small fishing boat was actually on par with a destroyer, also equipped with anti-ship missiles!

Although they were short-range, for the small fishing boat, it was definitely a milestone.

As for medium-range missiles with a range of 1,000 to 3,000 kilometers, those usually belong to cruisers.

And long-range intercontinental missiles with a range greater than 3,000 kilometers are usually found on submarines.

"Report to General Manager Jiang, the ship update is almost done. When shall we conduct the water trials?"

Just then, a military factory soldier walked over with long strides.

Jiang Chen saluted him: "Thank you for your hard work. I'll conduct the test!"

Saying that, Jiang Chen jumped directly onto the pearl river 888.

At the port, many soldiers, researchers, and sailors stood there, curiously watching to see how powerful the upgraded small fishing boat was!

"Not bad, not bad. It feels like it has expanded two or three times in size."

After jumping onto the deck, Jiang Chen looked around.

The hull surface was not only painted with the brand-new Carbon-9 Molecule, looking brand new.

The left side had an expanded deck, holding two reinforced mortars.

The right side also had an expanded deck, also holding two reinforced mortars.

The front side also had a Gatling gun, and the deck space wasn't small either; when not busy, one could sit at the bow and fish.

As for the tail, there was a black silo there, which should be the short-range missile silo.

According to Long Xiaotian, it was equipped with the Dongfeng 03.

There were only three.

He told Jiang Chen to use them sparingly.

And at the helm, there was also a brand-new large screen in front, which not only had a radar system but also an intelligent operation interface for controlling missile launches, activating the Kuafu Chasing the Sun Propulsion System, the Xinhuo Xiangchuan Energy Device, the drainage system, and other various functions.

"Start!"

Jiang Chen pressed the switch.

The small fishing boat responded quickly.

Although the small fishing boat had expanded from fourteen meters to twenty-nine meters, and its width had increased from over three meters to six or seven meters, and there were several tons of high-density alloy plates as ballast under the hull, as the propulsion system and energy device responded, the small fishing boat zoomed off, twisting past everyone's eyes with a Pan Zhou Dan-style drift.

"Whoa!"

Seeing the small fishing boat dart over, everyone stepped back in fear, thinking it was out of control.

Unexpectedly, it possessed by Pan Zhou Dan, twisted back into the sea.

Chua!

Almost in the blink of an eye, the small fishing boat rushed into the sea.

It was almost invisible.

"Damn, this speed must have reached 50 knots, right?"

The crowd at the port felt their hearts racing.

This speed was truly heart-fluttering!

On the sea surface, Jiang Chen stumbled and almost somersaulted. He quickly steadied himself and lowered the speed.

With the awesomeness of the Kuafu Chasing the Sun Propulsion System, this small fishing boat could easily go up to 100 knots, but that was too fast, and he was worried the rear silo would fall into the water...

So he reduced the speed to 50 knots.

But 50 knots was still very fast.

It used to be only over ten knots.

It had increased by more than four times.

It was about 100 kilometers per hour.

After flying out for dozens of nautical miles, Jiang Chen drove the small fishing boat back.

"It's back, it's back, the small fishing boat is back."

The crowd at the port waved, as if welcoming a triumphant general.

Especially the muscular men from the military factory, who even took off their shirts and waved them, showing off their abs and biceps, swaying together.

Jiang Chen stopped the small fishing boat, jumped ashore, and said with great satisfaction.

"The small fishing boat's performance is perfect!"

"The modification mission is perfectly completed!"

Clap, clap, clap!

Applause erupted on the scene.

And Commander Tang Ze didn't know when he had arrived. He walked up while clapping: "Congratulations, Jiang Chen. The pearl river 888 has been upgraded again. I feel like this small fishing boat shouldn't be called the pearl river 888 anymore; it should be called the God-Slayer!"

"Hahahaha, that's right! The small fishing boat has grown up."

Everyone laughed heartily.

God-Slayer?

Jiang Chen smiled.

Although the name was dominant, he still preferred to call the small fishing boat the pearl river 888.

Because this was what his parents left him before they passed away.

"Alright, everyone disperse. I have something to discuss with Jiang Chen."

Commander Tang Ze waved his hand.

The crowd left the scene of the small fishing boat with reluctance.

This sci-fi-like small fishing boat was already more powerful than an aircraft carrier in some configurations.

For example, the propulsion system and energy device; current aircraft carriers haven't used them yet because the modification difficulty is too high.

"Commander Tang Ze, what is the matter?"

Jiang Chen looked at Commander Tang Ze.

Commander Tang Ze was the first commander of the Naval Department Base.

Basically, maritime affairs were under his jurisdiction.

He held a high and powerful position.

If it weren't an important matter, he certainly wouldn't have come to find him in person.

Commander Tang Ze looked at the small fishing boat, then at Jiang Chen, and slowly said.

"You know the Deep Blue Ocean Group, right? They are the first-tier ocean logistics company trading between our country and Australia."

"Recently! They have a batch of ocean freighters, about thirteen giant ships, that need to sail to Australia."

"The Deep Blue Ocean Group is an old customer on the Naval Department Base's S-level escort list. Normally, at least two destroyers would be required..."

"However, currently, destroyers at major ports are in short supply. There is only one Weilong Destroyer that is still under repair that can barely be sent out."

"And now, we are still short of one."
