The submarine had been at the bottom of the sea for five to six years …
Her words were like a heavy hammer that weighed heavily on Huo Shaoheng's heart.
His brows were cold and his eyes were as deep as the sea as he silently looked at the big window of the conference room.
For the sake of confidentiality, the windows of this conference room were also one-way glass.
They could see from the inside, but they could not look in from the outside.
No one spoke and waited patiently for Huo Shaoheng to give the order.
After some time, just when everyone thought that Huo Shaoheng wouldn't say anything, Huo Shaoheng finally spoke.
"… I'll apply to the military to send a research ship to the Cape of Good Hope and bring that submarine … back."
The mini submarine had sunk to such a depth that no other facility could tow it out except for a large salvage ship.
The Cape of Good Hope wasn't part of China's territory, but the place where the submarine sank wasn't in the territorial waters of any country. It was on the high seas.
However, it would be too eye-catching to sail a salvage ship to the high seas.
Huo Shaoheng didn't want to attract the attention of other countries, especially the United States on the other side of the ocean.
Therefore, sending a large research ship was the most suitable method.
After all, the Hua Xia Empire's tradition had always been to "protect the country, protect the Ministry of Agriculture, expand the territory of the Fishery Bureau …"
…
After the meeting was adjourned, Huo Shaoheng and Yin Shixiong immediately went to report to General Ji.
When General Ji heard that the submarine had probably been at the bottom of the sea for five to six years, his face darkened.
"Are you sure this submarine is related to Gu Xiangwen?" General Ji walked back and forth in his office with his hands behind his back, his brows tightly furrowed.
Huo Shaoheng thought about it and felt that he understood General Ji's concerns, so he immediately said, "If the submarine is proven to have nothing to do with Gu Xiangwen, I'll pay for all the expenses myself."
Just treat it as if he was renting equipment and manpower from the country.
This "research ship" would cost at least hundreds of millions of dollars.
If it had nothing to do with Gu Xiangwen, then their losses would be huge.
General Ji's hesitation was understandable.
General Ji turned around and glared at him. "Do you think I'm such a petty person? It wasn't like the military couldn't afford it! I'm just worried that if it really has nothing to do with Gu Xiangwen, some people will talk about it and harm you in the future. "
"It doesn't matter." Huo Shaoheng wasn't worried about that at all.
It would be a lie to say that he was not ambitious and did not care about being promoted.
However, it wasn't Huo Shaoheng's style to be restrained just because he was afraid of being criticized.
After discussing the details with Huo Shaoheng, General Ji waved his pen and signed the consent form for him.
Huo Shaoheng took the consent form and went to the Institute of High Energy Physics to look for Song Jinning.
…
"Director Song is in the laboratory. Please wait a moment."
The staff from Song Jinning's laboratory welcomed Huo Shaoheng into her office.
They knew that Huo Shaoheng was Song Jinning's son, so they didn't have any concerns.
Huo Shaoheng waited in Song Jinning's office for half an hour before she came out of the lab.
"Eh? What kind of wind blew you here today? "Song Jinning smiled as she washed her hands and took off her lab coat.
Huo Shaoheng naturally took it for her and hung it on the coat rack. He said, "Ms. Song, there's something I want to discuss with you."
Seeing how cautious Huo Shaoheng was, Song Jinning quickly closed the office door.
The two of them sat in front of the desk.
Huo Shaoheng briefly explained Zhao Liangze's findings.
Before he could continue, Song Jinning had already stood up excitedly and said, "Is there really Gu Xiangwen's whereabouts?! Oh my, that's great! I admire him so much! You want to send a research ship to salvage it? I'll recommend myself! Let me go with the research ship. I'll help adjust the equipment! "
Huo Shaoheng had come to find Song Jinning precisely because he wanted her to personally go.
However, he wanted Song Jinning to personally go, not because he wanted her to adjust the equipment, but because he had other motives.
"Ms. Song, if that submarine really has something to do with Gu Xiangwen, I'm worried that there might be something else inside, so … I need you to check it out. Among the scientists in our country, I only trust you when it comes to high-tech technology … "
Huo Shaoheng was very reserved.
Song Jinning didn't quite understand at first, but she smiled and said, "You can't say that. The scientists who have the most knowledge about submarines are all in your military …"
Huo Shaoheng looked at her with a faint smile. Song Jinning suddenly came back to her senses.
"… Are you worried that those people will be tempted by Gu Xiangwen's technology?"
"We have to be on guard."
After all, Ye Zitan's mistake was there for all to see.
Song Jinning nodded and said thoughtfully, "You can rest assured in this regard. I will never take other people's research results for myself."
"I know, so I hope you can go." Huo Shaoheng showed Song Jinning the consent form signed by General Ji. "I'll give you a special letter of appointment. That way, you can go as a representative of the military."
Huo Shaoheng acted very quickly.
He reported to the military at noon, then watched the big shots sign and personally went to transfer the research ship.
With him around, the procedure that would have taken more than ten days to complete was completed in less than two or three days.
..
The lanterns were lit, and Huo Shaoheng, who had been busy all day, finally returned to his official residence.
After entering the door, he took off his military cap and hung it on the coat rack at the entrance.
As soon as he lowered his head, he saw Gu Nianzhi, who was wearing home clothes, holding slippers in front of him.
Gu Nianzhi half-knelt on the ground and looked up at him with a smile. "Major General Huo, I bought you a pair of slippers. Do you want to change into them?"
Huo Shaoheng had never had the habit of wearing slippers in his official residence.
However, looking at Gu Nianzhi's sweet smile and beautiful eyes, he didn't say anything and silently put on the blue slippers Gu Nianzhi had bought for him.
Gu Nianzhi pointed at the pink slippers on her feet and said, "They're a pair! We're wearing couple slippers. "
Only then did Huo Shaoheng realize that Gu Nianzhi's slippers had a pink rabbit painted on them. His slippers had a blue rabbit painted on them …
Huo Shaoheng: "…"
"Don't they look good?" Gu Nianzhi wasn't sure what Huo Shaoheng was thinking. "Don't tell me you think it's too childish? I still spent a long time picking out the more mature and stable couple slippers. "
Huo Shaoheng: "…"
When did this kind of cute rabbit become mature and stable?
Huo Shaoheng looked down at the cute blue rabbit on his feet. He rubbed his temples and asked Gu Nianzhi, "Did you go out shopping today?"
Gu Nianzhi nodded. "I woke up at noon and you weren't back yet. I was bored here alone, so I drove out for a walk."
"… You went out by yourself?" Huo Shaoheng's expression became serious. "How many times have I told you to take Xiao Ye with you when you go out?"
"… I forgot." Gu Nianzhi smiled embarrassedly and shook Huo Shaoheng's arm. "Major General Huo, Major General Huo, I'm sorry … I didn't mean it …"
Gu Nianzhi acted coquettishly as she carefully observed Huo Shaoheng's expression.
She saw that he was still unsmiling, and there seemed to be an indescribable sense of exhaustion between his brows.
Gu Nianzhi was puzzled. "Was work tiring today? Do you want to rest for a while? I'll give you a massage … "
Huo Shaoheng curled his lips and bent down to pick her up from Gu Nianzhi's legs. He carried her horizontally and said, "Do you want to see if your man is tired?"
Gu Nianzhi was shocked and quickly hugged his neck tightly. She said angrily, "You can't ambush me!"
Huo Shaoheng kissed her face and carried her upstairs.
Yin Shixiong, who followed him in, clicked his tongue and said loudly, "We haven't even had dinner yet, and you two are already showing off your affection?! Luckily, I'm no longer single! "
