It turned out that in front of Lin Yuan, there was an unpainted turret, and the exposed place was rusty, Lin Yuan looked at the bolts at the connection between the turret and the hull, and saw that it was also rusty.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan understood, it turned out that Du Yeer's so-called shipbuilding was to assemble the parts that other countries had eliminated and did not want, and then paint the shell to cover those rusty parts, and it would become their own warship, Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Don't talk about fighting such a warship, even if it is trained in peacetime, it will be very dangerous, it is simply a living coffin for sailors!" ”

Lin Yuan walked around the warship again, and found that the exposed places of the bridge and mast were also rusted to varying degrees, Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Whose idea is it to make such a mess?" It shouldn't be Yuan Shikai, no matter how bold Yuan Shikai is, he doesn't dare to use such a trick to deceive the emperor, if the emperor knows the truth, his head will not be saved, so the mastermind of this matter must be the Frenchman Du Yeer. ”

Lin Yuan thought about it, no matter whether the mastermind of this matter was Yuan Shikai or not, as long as he insisted that Yuan Shikai did it, he could force Yuan Shikai to agree to his conditions, thinking of this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel happy, Lin Yuan saw that he not only discovered the truth about their warship, but also came up with a way to subdue Yuan Shikai, so he planned to go back.

Lin Yuan walked up the stairs, wanting to return to the high platform, and then leave the shipyard, just when Lin Yuan had just walked on the high platform, suddenly a bright light shot from the front, just hitting his face, and an old and panicked voice came: "You...... You, what do you do? Isn't it a thief? ”

Lin Yuan took a closer look, and it was the old man who was guarding the door standing in front of him, his face was full of panic, as if it was him who was caught and not Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan saw that there was an open space all around, and he couldn't avoid it, so he suddenly had a plan in his heart, and said while walking outside: "Uncle, why don't you know me, I am the craftsman who works below, my things have fallen here, I came back to find them." ”

Lin Yuan walked up to the old man as he spoke, and the old man said tremblingly while shining a flashlight on Lin Yuan's face: "Why haven't I seen you?" ”

Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw the old man trembling all over his body, so he smiled and said, "Uncle, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person......"

The old man asked in fear: "You say that you are a craftsman who works, then I ask you, what is my surname?" If you can't answer, you're a thief! ”

Lin Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and thought, "Where do I know what your surname is!" There are hundreds of surnames in China, where can I get them right? Thinking of this, Lin Yuan glanced at the old man and thought, "Why don't you put him down with one move!" But Lin Yuan thought about it: "No! He's so old, what if I'm going to kill him! Alas, what kind of old man is this guard? It would be nice to be a young man. ”

Seeing that Lin Yuan couldn't answer, the old man immediately took out a whistle from his pocket and blew it vigorously, and suddenly a sharp whistle sounded in the dock, Lin Yuan thought to himself: "I must leave quickly, in case I am surrounded here, I will be caught, as the governor of the three eastern provinces, but I entered the shipyard at night, how to explain it to others." ”

Lin Yuan made up his mind, saw the vacancy around the old man, and rushed over with an arrow step, the old man was slow with his hands and feet, where could he stop Lin Yuan, so Lin Yuan instantly rushed past the old man, and then ran towards the door, but Lin Yuan was halfway through the run, but suddenly heard the whistle behind him stop suddenly, Lin Yuan subconsciously looked back, only to see the old man lying on the ground.

Lin Yuan thought helplessly: "What's wrong with this old man?" Looking at the scared look he had just now, he must have fainted with fright, what kind of people are in this shipyard, the guards are afraid of the thieves who sneaked in! Lin Yuan turned around and was about to continue running, but suddenly thought: "It's not a joke for an older person to pass out, what if he dies here?" I should still go over and see if his life is in danger. ”

Lin Yuan turned around when he thought of this, but when he heard messy footsteps outside, Lin Yuan's heart moved, and he thought, "If you don't run again, you will be caught!" On the one hand, he was caught, and on the other hand, he was facing the danger of his life, it was really a dilemma, Lin Yuan gritted his teeth fiercely, and thought: "If you are caught, you will be caught, the old man's life is at stake!" ”

Lin Yuan ran back to the old man, stretched out his hand to press his carotid artery, this press was taken aback, it turned out that the old man's carotid artery was no longer beating, Lin Yuan lay on the old man's chest, and the heartbeat could not be heard, Lin Yuan shouted in his heart: "It's not good, the old man has suffered cardiac arrest, and he must do cardiac resuscitation quickly." ”

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan pressed the position of the old man's heart with his hand, pressed it again and again, and after pressing it a few times, he felt that the old man's heartbeat was beating again, and slowly the old man's heartbeat was even, Lin Yuan let out a sigh of relief, and thought: "Saving this old man's life, even if he is caught, it is worth it." ”

At this moment, I saw a large group of people at the door, each holding a flashlight and a wooden stick, shouting "catch the thief" and rushed in, they saw Lin Yuan at a glance, so they rushed over, Lin Yuan hurriedly raised his hands and said: "I surrender, I surrender!" ”

When Lin Yuan entered the security station, the person on duty inside stood up all of a sudden, it turned out that the person on duty was the guard during the day, Lin Yuan nodded and smiled when he saw that it was him, and said, "You are also on duty at night?" ”

The guard smiled and agreed, causing everyone to think, "What the hell is going on, why is this thief not afraid at all?" The guard saw everyone holding Lin Yuan with wooden sticks, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What are you doing here?" Do you know who he is? He is Lin Yuan, Lin Shuai! ”

The crowd exclaimed, "How is this possible? He entered the dock at night, obviously a thief! ”

The guard was also stunned, and asked Lin Yuan, "That's right, Lin Shuai, what are you doing in the dock in the middle of the night?" ”

Lin Yuan couldn't say that he was here to reconnoitre, so he smiled and said, "Go and find your general office, I can only talk to him about these things." ”

The guard smiled: "That's not good, tonight our general office went to Fuzhou City for a banquet, it is said that there is a special envoy in the capital to inspect the shipyard situation, the general office has to accompany him, the special envoy does not leave, he can't go." ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "You go and call the general office immediately, I bet with you that the general office will come back immediately after learning about this matter, not only will he come back, but also the envoy will come together." ”

The guards and everyone looked at Lin Yuan in surprise, and their eyes clearly asked, "How is this possible!" ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Just based on the relationship between Yuan Er and me, if he knows that I was caught in the shipyard at night, he will definitely come over and humiliate me as soon as possible, but it doesn't matter, since he dares to come, I will find out about them using abandoned warships to build new ships." Lin Yuan then smiled and said, "You can fight, I won't deceive you." ”
