The distance between Yangcheng and Singapore is 1,700 nautical miles, and the Ranger can be reached in less than 60 hours if it sails at full speed. Even at cruising speed, it takes only seventy hours.

But they departed at 6 a.m. on September 2 and docked at the pier at Blarney Naval Base in Singapore at 8 p.m. on September 5, and the journey took 84 hours.

Except for that pause for ten hours of exercise, Zhou You did not stop the ship again, because the whole ship would have to waste a lot of fuel if the engine was stopped once and restarted again.

However, during the voyage, he still carried out many accident simulations to exercise everyone's emergency and adaptability.

In a corner of Blarney Naval Base, the naval unit prepared a separate barracks for the tour. It is inappropriate to say that the barracks were originally a military service club on the naval base, and there were nine bungalows on the street, which were allocated by the Navy for the use of tours.

Blarney Naval Base is located on Blarney Island, which is a small island, about 1.5 kilometers long from east to west, and nearly 1 kilometer wide from north to south.

As the island is located between the famous Sentosa Island and Tanjong Pagar in the city, it is one of the prime locations in Singapore. So in later generations, the naval base had been moved away, and Blarney Island had been turned into a large cargo terminal.

The navy still has a conscience, although the nine bungalows are half-new, but because they have to be used by them, they have been repainted. In addition, the water and electricity are complete, and even the air conditioning is well installed. Although there is no toilet in the room, there is a public toilet less than fifty meters away from the house.

A glance at the conditions of the camp, there was nothing in the house, it was definitely impossible to live tonight, and all the crew still had to live on the ship tonight.

As soon as Zhou You was about to get off the ship, he saw several military vehicles parked on the dock, and Pan Li got off the car first, and looked at the Ranger in front of him obsessively.

Seeing that Zhou You wanted to get off the boat, he hurriedly shouted: "Mr. Zhou, please wait a minute...... and got on the boat along the stairs next to the side of the boat.

More than a dozen officers who followed him also boarded the ship one by one, and each showed a strong interest in the Ranger at his feet.

"Chief Pan, it's getting late now, can't we wait until tomorrow to talk about something?"

He laughed and said, "How can I sleep knowing that the Ranger has returned to Hong Kong?" It's better to come and have a look first. Mr. Zhou, this Ranger will be shared by our two families in the future? ”

The more eager he became, the more relaxed he became, and deliberately said: "The contract has been signed, and I can't regret it!" Mr. Pan, do you think this is good? I've been on the ship for three or four days, and I want to come down and have a good rest, so what will we talk about tomorrow? ”

Sure enough, he couldn't help but say, "It's just a matter of a few words, why wait until tomorrow?" He stomped on the steel plate under his feet and said with a smile: "According to Mr. Zhou's plan, you will repair in Singapore for half a month, right?" It is said that you were still young enough to conduct a training camp for the crew during this time? ”

Zhou You nodded and said, "At present, this is the arrangement, and I already have a salvage target." However, before the salvage, I also need to go to Indonesia to conduct a PR campaign, so when I get the approval of the Indonesian government, we will act whenever I can. ”

He laughed and said, "That's good, you don't need a boat during this time, we can just use your boat for a period of training." You know, we, the Singapore Navy, have never sailed such a big ship. ”

Zhou You smiled: "Just remember to fill up my boat with fuel." ”

He smiled even brighter. "As the world's largest oil transit port, Singapore has much other than oil. Lieutenant Colonel Lin Jiapei has registered the fuel consumption and inventory of your Ranger, and all you need to do is lock up your cabins and those of the crew and make sure your ship is returned to you in good condition. ”

Zhou You deliberately said: "But the barracks you arranged for my crew are now nothing, and the crew can't get off the ship, and they still have to live on the ship!" ”

He paused for a moment, then turned back to a skinny man in his early thirties. "Director Xu, didn't I ask you to arrange the barracks where the crew will stay and the training ground?"

Director Xu hurriedly said: "It's because I didn't think about it, I asked people to arrange the bed immediately and ensure that it will be arranged in half an hour." ”

"In addition to the place to stay, there is also a training place, and the best conditions must be provided, and this matter will be left to you." After saying it seriously, he looked back with a smile on his face again. "Mr. Zhou, you now arrange for the crew to disembark, and when they arrive at the barracks, they are guaranteed to move in immediately."

His own ship, which had just made its maiden voyage, was about to be handed over to someone else, and Zhou You's heart was actually a little reluctant. However, he thought that he still had a place to use them, so he nodded and said, "Tell the crew, this is a new ship, don't toss around without pity." ”

Pan Lixiao's eyes couldn't see it, and he said: "Don't worry, if there is any damage, our navy will be responsible for compensating to the end!" ”

Zhou You could only arrange for all the crew to move down the luggage that should be moved, and all the things that were not needed were gathered and put in Zhou You's bedroom, and then Zhou You locked his room.

A group of TV reporters finally arrived in Singapore, and before they could get off the ship, they ran into a military receiving ship, which made them all very curious.

When the group got off the boat, they saw dozens of soldiers boarding the ship with their luggage.

The others couldn't help but ask, but one of the middle-aged men who claimed to be Director Yan pulled Zhou You aside and asked very seriously: "Mr. Zhou, I think this matter needs a reasonable explanation, why did your ship sail to the barracks?" Why is the captain you invited an active lieutenant colonel in the Singapore Navy? Why are you now unconditionally giving your own ships to the Navy? ”

Zhou You just asked rhetorically: "Director Yan, if the Singapore Navy orders warships from our country, will we sell them?" ”

"Of course! However, Singapore's own shipbuilding technology is very advanced......"

Seeing that he was speechless all of a sudden, Zhou You continued: "Since we will even sell warships to them, then my salvage ship, which only has the hull of the warship and the internal structure has changed a lot, should not be kept secret to them, right?" ”

"That's what you say, but you can't ...... without permission"

Zhou You interrupted him again and said, "Don't forget, I'm a Singaporean citizen now. ”

All of a sudden, he had nothing more to say.

Zhou You smiled and hugged his shoulders and said, "At the beginning, when the state could approve me, a foreigner, to buy this ship, I must have already considered this aspect of my own, so you don't have to think too much." When you come to Singapore, you should eat and play. ”

Before getting on the boat, he knew that Zhu Tianhua didn't know them, and he knew that his identity was not ordinary. But he didn't care about that, although he sat down a little deviant, it was still within the rules. Even the relationship with Zhu Tianhua, except for Yan Fangqing, he didn't deliberately hide anyone, because he was not afraid!

Although it seems a bit shocking that he gave the ship to the navy, it is only that there are few people who have done it, which does not mean that it cannot be done. What's more, in addition to being a little avant-garde in design, there is nothing special about his salvage ship, and there is not much secrecy.

What's more, this avant-garde design concept is still told to the shipyard by traveling around.

Therefore, this Director Yan is on a mission, at most, to observe the whereabouts of Zhou You, and his focus is not on this boat. If this ship could not be understood by outsiders, the domestic shipyard would not have sold it to him at all

Got on the bus arranged by the Navy and came to the barracks again, and there were really two bunk beds in several rooms, and Zhou You arranged for everyone to put their luggage away, and without waiting for them to make the beds, he greeted and said: "Everyone don't care how to sleep now, let's go back to have a big meal with me first." Director Yang, Director Yan, I also asked people to book a room for you, go to my house for a few drinks, and then I will ask someone to take you back to the hotel. ”

The TV station and the gang traveled all the way, originally wanting to make a propaganda program, shoot some scenic films of the South China Sea by the way, and of course, other tasks on Director Yan's shoulder.

They had a limited budget, so they agreed with Zhou You at the beginning, and Zhou You was responsible for arranging their food and accommodation, of course, they had to listen to Zhou You's arrangements.

Director Yang took the lead in saying: "When we came to Singapore, of course we listened to Mr. Zhou's arrangement, just don't think we are too disturbed." ”

Zhou You smiled and arranged for everyone to get on the bus, "It's not troublesome, I don't know many people in Singapore, and you can increase your popularity a little when you go." ”

At this time, it is almost 10 o'clock in the evening, and the city of Singapore is brightly lit and full of greenery, and the group keeps admiring that it is indeed a famous garden city.

The car got on the bridge, passed through the dock area, and arrived at Tanjong Pagar, and then Chinatown Chinatown. The driver deliberately passed through Singapore's busiest road, Orchard Road, before heading north to his villa at the foot of the mountain.

In the villa, Yan Fangqing, who had arrived in advance, received a call from Zhou You, and invited a team of chefs from the hotel to prepare a sumptuous dinner for everyone.

After all, this is the first time for seafarers to go abroad and come to a foreign country, and Zhou You also hopes to win their hearts through this sumptuous dinner.

As for Director Yang and his party, it was just a timely meeting.

But they didn't know, and thought that Zhou You was specially prepared for them, and thanked them repeatedly.

However, seeing all this, Zhu Tianhua's heart was not very comfortable. Originally, Zhou You helped her buy a car and a house, and she was already satisfied.

But seeing that Zhou You bought such a big boat and bought such a large villa here in Singapore, he couldn't help but feel a serious sense of jealousy towards Yan Fangqing.

Everyone is a traveling woman, why can she enjoy the leisurely life of fine clothes and fine food, but she still has to work hard and live in an ordinary apartment building! (To be continued.) )
