Chapter 207 The Sky Whale is officially launched!

A few weeks later, the ship port.

Ruan Yongliang stood by the port, looking at the Haiyan that was about to be launched in the dock, with a relieved smile on his face.

He had mixed emotions in his heart, including happiness and relief, but more importantly, he felt a sense of pride.

Finally, the ship finally launched into the water before the other party.

At least on this point, our side is indeed better than them.

God knows how he got here these past few months!

When the conflict first occurred, he never imagined that things would develop in this direction.

First, the opportunity to seize the island was determined, and then the VOSTA LMG was introduced. Then, the heavenly soldiers began to intervene. We thought we had found strong backup and began to try to bind them.

Originally, no matter what the situation, such a strategy should be foolproof.

But he never expected that all the plans he had made would actually fail.

——

No, it was not just a simple failure, it should be said that it was a complete failure.

Not only did they not take advantage, allowing them to build thousands of square meters of land on Treasure Island, they also lost three groups of naval soldiers.

What's even more outrageous is that even the big brother who originally stood on our side turned against him, abandoned the benefits that were easily available to him, and abandoned our side.

For a long time, he couldn't figure out why.

It wasn't until late one night a few days ago, when he was sitting across from his son drinking, that he suddenly understood.

Technology, all of this is the result of backward technology.

Recalling every key node of the matter in detail, in fact, every time one's progress was interrupted, it was because of the opponent's sudden appearance and rapid technological advancement.

Including the Sky Whale, including the Swarm UAV, including the DF-1.

This series of technologies made one's own strategy constrained, which ultimately led to failure.

After thinking about this clearly, he admired his son's foresight even more.

You know, from the very beginning, he put forward the viewpoint of "technology wins" and firmly introduced VOSTA LMG despite all objections.

It can be said that it was this decision that saved his life.

If it weren't for the breakthrough of the large cutter suction dredger, if it weren't for this remaining plan that left hope for the entire strategy, I'm afraid that at this time, I would not be standing on the beach to participate in the celebration, but standing in a military court to be tried.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

It seems that I am indeed old.

No matter in terms of thinking or wisdom, they can no longer keep up with these young people today.

——

However, this is not necessarily a bad thing.

Doesn’t this mean that he has someone to succeed him?

He smiled silently, sighing in his heart at his luck.

No matter what, at least my son is good.

After the Haiyan was launched and the first island was built, it was time to retreat.

When the time comes, I must give him another big gift so that he can go faster and farther on this road.

Isn’t that what a family’s inheritance is like?

His life-long goal is nothing more than to move the entire family closer to the center of power so that his clan can gain more benefits.

Thinking of this, he turned to his son standing aside and said:

"After this incident is over, I plan to transfer you to the front line."

"You need more experience - you know what I mean."

"When you come back, my position can be handed over to you naturally."

"No one can question you, and no one can shake your position."

"Of course, the premise is that you have to do something."

After hearing his words, Ruan Huakai nodded solemnly.

"This is also my idea, but I'm afraid we won't be able to achieve any shocking results."

"The sea has gradually calmed down. It is estimated that both of us will maintain peace for a long time to come."

"I see."

Ruan Yongliang nodded and continued:

"That's exactly what I want to say, you don't need to be too radical."

"You are originally a technical officer, so your demand for 'combat merit' is not that high."

"When I say do something, I mean to strive for some benefits while ensuring your own safety."

"For example, you can make an island."

"Of course, the name of this island needs to be considered - if possible, even the shape of the island must be carefully planned."

"Mr. Wu Tingyang believes in Buddhism. He has a simple Buddha amulet, you know?"

Ruan Huakai gave Ruan Yongliang a clear look, and everything was clear.

At the same time, the launching ceremony of the Haiyan also officially began.

Ruan Yongliang waved the champagne himself, the bottle shattered, and the liquid spurted out, fell to the ground, and turned into rapidly bursting foam.

As the long whistle sounded, the giant cutter suction dredger rushed towards the sea along the track that had been laid long ago.

The bow of the ship hit the water and stirred up huge waves several meters high. The sea breeze brought the splashing water droplets to everyone's faces. At this moment, everyone was rejoicing.

"It's a pity that Mr. August left early. This is considered his masterpiece, but he couldn't witness it with his own eyes. It's a pity."

Ruan Huakai said with emotion.

"It's really a pity, but there's nothing we can do about it, his family is sick."

"Family always comes first, and in this regard, he is the same as me."

As he spoke, Ruan Yongliang stared intently at the Haiyan that had already been launched into the water.

He couldn't help but marvel again at the mechanical beauty of this giant sea beast.

Sharp-edged arcs pierced the sky, and the huge equipment was like a huge mouth swallowing the sky. Perhaps it would swallow the so-called "Sky Whale" in one gulp soon.

Haha Sky Whale.

Perhaps, at this moment, it is still assembling their deck in the dock?

But sorry, we have already entered the water first.

As long as we go into the water for one day first, our advantage will become bigger and bigger like a snowball.

However, just as everyone was cheering for the launch of the Haiyan, Ruan Huakai, who was standing aside, suddenly felt that something was wrong.

This ship seems to be tilting a bit.

He frowned slightly, took two quick steps to find the engineer commanding the scene, and asked:

"The hull is tilting a little, is this normal?"

The engineer nodded and said affirmatively:

"It's perfectly normal."

"The ship has just been launched, and the layout of the cabin counterweight and various equipment has not been completely processed. Coupled with the influence of wind and waves on the shore, it is normal for it to tilt."

"Don't worry, it doesn't behave like this at sea."

"Once the positioning pile is put down, it will become as indestructible as a reef in the sea."

Ruan Huakai nodded and then continued to ask:

"What's the abnormal noise coming from the ship's hull? This sound seems a bit abnormal."

"It's normal!"

The engineer looked at Ruan Huakai doubtfully and asked:

"Isn't this a normal metal friction sound? It is the same when any ship is launched into the water."

"Mr. Ruan, I'm afraid you are too nervous."

Am I too nervous?
