The speed was slow and slow, and the 053rd also arrived at the designated sea area early the next morning, and the fleet had already issued a statement that it would conduct a live-fire exercise in the sea area here today, and several destroyers came in advance, and the ships that came and went had already changed their course or stayed to wait for the exercise to end, and there was not a single ship within a few hundred nautical miles of the entire sea area.

I didn't want to waste too much time, after arriving, everyone was ready, Xu Ziling immediately used radar to scan the sea surface, the bottom of the sea, and the sky within 300 kilometers, but he only saw that the ports along the coast of the Philippines were full of ships, and none of them came to the open sea, and there was not a single submarine in the sea, and there was no reconnaissance plane in the sky, which made him a little disappointed.

If you come to the South China Sea for the first time, you will not need to use a target plane or something to test-fire an anti-aircraft missile.

The close defense system, naval guns, anti-aircraft missiles, and cruise missiles were launched one by one, and in no more than half an hour, all the weapons on the 053 were tested with at least one ammunition.

This is not a drill, so it is not a simulation system to calculate the results, but to see things in a real way, a round of fire, Xu Ziling immediately turned on the satellite monitoring screen, watching each target being hit, he was very satisfied.

After another round of shooting, seeing the satellite picture again, it was still the same result, and everyone felt that there was no need to try any more, in Tang Jiannian's words, this long-range missile was hundreds of thousands, millions, and this was money. So under the decision of everyone, they began to turn around and return home.

"When I go back, then 053 will be handed over to the fleet." The wind on the sea today is not strong, the sun is high, compared with the temperature of about zero degrees in Star City, there are more than 30 degrees here, just standing on the bow of the ship blowing the sea breeze, but I don't feel too hot, Xu Ziling looked at Xia Xueyi and a few people who were still excited not far away, and said to Tang Jiannian beside him.

"The other five are a little more hurried for me, so I can drop them all here." Tang Jiannian was in a good mood after this trip, not only solved the matter of the drone, but also accepted a new type of destroyer, and when he spoke, his tone was happy.

"No problem." Xu Ziling nodded, "This first ship, mainly because some processes have just started for the first time, and the time is a little slow, and the second ship is estimated to only take half a year at most to be able to sea trial." ”

Almost half of the equity of the Jiangnan Plant is in the hands of the fleet, and Xu Ziling agreed to use their part of the proceeds as a deposit, which means that they do not need to pay a penny of the deposit at all, and they only need to take out half of it after delivery, so it is very advantageous for them to buy a new type of ship.

Compared with the 052 model, the new ship abandons a variety of phased array radars and a lot of communication data platforms, which reduces a lot of electronic components, reducing a large part of the cost, and there are weapon systems such as vertical launch systems, all of which are made by Xu Ziling like a "patriot", compared with the purchase from outside, the cost is less than one-tenth, plus the localization of the overall parts, compared with the cost of other 10,000-ton destroyers, the new ship is only less than one-fifth of theirs.

That is to say, it takes 5 billion to build a Type 052, and their new ship costs less than 1 billion, with such an advantage, plus half price, Tang Jiannian didn't need to ask the above for appropriation at all, so he set five ships to be arranged in the South China Sea.

More than ten hours later, 053 returned to the port smoothly at night, and there was no grand handover ceremony between the fleet, so it drove directly to the port of the fleet, even if it was an official handover, as for the service personnel on the ship, this is what Tang Jiannian has to worry about, Xu Ziling will not care, the next day and the people of the research institute communicated with some unmanned submarine technical problems, and then went to Tang Jiannian's house, and invited Tang Jiannian's family to have time to play in Star City, In the afternoon, I took a flight back to Star City.

As soon as he returned to Star City, he made a phone call to Wang Jian, and wanted to ask Xie Bin how the matter was handled, but he didn't expect Wang Jian to tell him that Xie Bin and his sister Xie Chun were still in Star City, saying that they were going to wait for him to come back and must invite him to a meal.

"Okay, it's still in Tianhua, right? I'll come right over. Of course, Xu Ziling would not be rare for others to invite him to dinner, but Xie Bin said that he was also a classmate, and besides, Wang Jian had a good relationship with him, so he still had to give this face, so he agreed after thinking about it.

It was time for dinner, and after hanging up the phone, Xu Ziling said to everyone in the car: "Don't go to the factory, go to Tianhua to eat first and go home directly." Then he said to Yang Ruolan, who came to pick them up: "Ruolan, Xie Bin is in Tianhua, let's go over and have a meal together." ”

"Okay."

Everyone nodded, Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng could go back with him, Lin Jianbin would follow him, and he could go back to the military factory with the bird, and he could go back to his own home, as for Xia Xueyi, he had a certain bird escort back to the military factory dormitory, so there was no need to worry about it at all.

Yang Kaiming is the young owner of Haitian, every time he comes to Tianhua, a manager-level person comes to greet him in person, and when he arrives at the hotel, Xu Ziling pulls Yang Ruolan and doesn't care about them at all, and goes directly to Wang Jianding's box.

Xie Bin used to give him the impression that Xu Ziling was just a little lively, but after this incident, he could see that he was a responsible person for his family, otherwise he would not dare to do this kind of spy work for his sister, and he would not have cried and knelt down in front of Xu Ziling, so Xu Ziling positioned him as a person who could be friends in his heart.

Entering the room, Wang Jian, Xie Bin, and Xie Chun were already there, and when they saw him and Yang Ruolan coming in, several people hurriedly got up, Xu Ziling didn't like a few friends to come to this set, so he hurriedly asked a few people to sit down and specially said hello to Xie Chun.

Xie Chun had seen Xu Ziling before, but Xu Ziling didn't like to take the lead at that time, and a few years have passed, and there is not much impression left, but in the past few days, his brother Xie Bin told him every day that she can stand here now, all thanks to Xu Ziling, and when I saw Xu Ziling at this time, I recognized him at a glance.

Thinking of her life like hell in the past six months, she had infinite gratitude in her heart for the person in front of her who rescued him, Xu Ziling asked her to sit down, as if she hadn't heard, tears flashed in her eyes, she looked at Xu Ziling with burning eyes, and said Xie Lu Xie in her mouth.

In such a scene, Xu Ziling has a big head, but he also understands that this period of time must have a deep stimulation for her, and it is not surprising that she is a little excited, she is just an ordinary girl, after experiencing such a thing, it is quite good to be able to have such emotions, did not stop her, let her vent, and then comforted her a few words, and then handed it over to Yang Ruolan to deal with.

It's always easier to talk to people of the same sex, Yang Ruolan was very cold when she was at school, that's just a way for her to protect herself, it doesn't mean that she won't communicate with people, on the contrary, she is better at this kind of thing than ordinary people, a few minutes of comfort and conversation, Xie Chun's emotions finally calmed down, and at this time, a few men had the heart to speak.

"Thank you so much this time, Ziling."

My sister is controlled by an espionage organization on the other side of the world, and Xie Bin has suffered a lot in the past six months, at this time, I really want to thank Xu Ziling very sincerely, because without Xu Ziling, he doesn't know what his life will be like in the future, but there is one thing he knows: he will live in fear for the rest of his life. Xu Ziling's move can be said to have saved his family.

"All said it, we don't need to be so polite."

smiled at Xu Ziling, for him, this matter is really just a gesture, and it is worth thanking again and again.

He had a smile on his face, but his tone was very resolute, the best thing Xie Bin had been with him for a few years, and he also knew that he didn't like to talk too much, so he didn't mention it anymore, and Wang Jian next to him saw this, comforted Xie Bin a few words, talked about a relaxed topic, and after a few jokes, the atmosphere was not just dull.

The meal came up quickly, several people started quickly, the two girls sat aside to drink some drinks, and the three of them men drank beer, and halfway through, Xie Chun said that he wanted to go to the bathroom, and Yang Ruolan, who was a little worried about her unstable state, also accompanied her.

"I had a lot of things to do a while ago, and I haven't told you some things yet, so now I'm just going to talk to you." Xu Ziling happened to have something to say to Xie Bin, and when he saw Xie Chun leaving, he immediately said to him, "That organization has been cleared in China, but not abroad, your sister was rescued, although some cover-ups have been made, but this operation in China is so big, I don't know if they can associate it with your two brothers and sisters, so you are not safe now, and your sister is in this state, it is best to find a psychiatrist to enlighten her, otherwise I am afraid that there will be sequelae." Do you have any plans for yourself? ”

Xie Bin has been a spy for half a year, but the few tasks he received are trivial, and his vision will not be as high as Xu Ziling, these days, he is only happy for his sister's return and his escape, and he didn't think that he was still in danger, Xu Ziling said this, he was a little confused, but fortunately, his ability to bear it was not bad, he didn't panic or anything, he was just silent for a while, and then said to Xu Ziling with a wry smile: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, you don't say it, I thought this matter was over... …”

At this point, he didn't continue, with a wry smile on his face.

Seeing him like this, Xu Ziling smiled, and felt that the spy life in the past half a year was not without help to him, at least he was much more stable than ordinary people when he encountered things.

A wry smile is also a laugh.
