You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts-Chapter 624 - 279: Do You Want the Aircraft Carrier Repair Job or Not? (Part 2)
"Don’t worry about that, just tell me if you can fix it."
"Of course I can!"
Gu Minghui patted his chest and agreed without hesitation. Whether it ends up getting fixed or not, his first priority was to get his hands on the technology of the Pioneer interstellar cruiser.
Ye Qingzhou wasn’t naive; he knew exactly what Gu Minghui was up to, but he didn’t mind: "Let’s be clear, you’ve got to try every possible way to fix the battleship, don’t break it for me, and I won’t pay a single penny for the repairs—can you agree to that?"
"No problem, do you think I care about that little repair fee?"
Gu Minghui naturally didn’t mind, after all, the funds came from the Celestial Secret Research Institute, so he wouldn’t have to spend a dime—it was just a matter of billing them later.
Ye Qingzhou was more than happy to find someone to repair the battleship for free, so both parties hit it off perfectly, each fulfilling their own needs.
...
Min Province, Huiji City.
Sanduao Military Port, the largest naval base in Dongji Kingdom.
Using the terrain, this area has a semi-enclosed large harbor that not only provides excellent wind protection but offers safer docking for ships within the bay, and even has the ability to hide large warships and aircraft carriers.
Ye Qingzhou arrived by plane with Gu Minghui. As soon as they got off the ladder, three generals from the Southeast Navy and a senior executive from Celestial Craft Group greeted them personally.
"Dr. Gu."
"Mr. Ye."
"Welcome to Huiji City."
Initially, Celestial Craft Group was bewildered when they were contracted for this ’aircraft carrier repair’ project—they thought Gu Minghui was joking.
The Southeast Fleet felt the same way. A ten-kilometer-long magic steam battleship sounded utterly fantastical.
If the project didn’t require secrecy, the welcoming team could have filled half the airport.
After receiving high-standard hospitality, Ye Qingzhou enjoyed a rare official treat with great food and drink, joining the Southeast Fleet to head toward a secret military port.
As Ye Qingzhou brought out the Pioneer interstellar cruiser from the space of the Xuanyuan Sword, everyone held their breath, watching the dazzling sword light transform a gigantic warship from small to large, and from virtual to real, finally floating gently on the sea.
The ten-kilometer-long battleship was like a small island, its enormity beyond imagination.
Even though Ye Qingzhou had warned them and prepared himself mentally, everyone was deeply shocked by the sheer size of the Pioneer.
"The Tower Spirit on the warship is still working; the data you need can be retrieved from its database."
This time, Ye Qingzhou clearly intended to strengthen cooperation with the Dongji Kingdom’s officials; otherwise, he wouldn’t let them access the magic civilization’s technological knowledge.
After all, this knowledge was of little use to Ye Qingzhou himself, since his path lay in Martial Dao, and technology was merely a supporting tool.
But Dongji Kingdom was the most advanced modern civilization on Blue Star in evolution, and its cultural and philosophical core was closely related to Great Qi.
If both sides could strengthen ties, it would greatly benefit Great Qi’s development, which was why Ye Qingzhou was willing to share the Pioneer.
"Please take care of the repairs."
"Don’t worry, Mr. Ye; we will do our utmost to repair the battleship quickly."
After Ye Qingzhou left, a young major general couldn’t help but ask, "Is this a private battleship?"
"Pretty much."
"Our country strictly manages firearms; surely we won’t allow private ownership of battleships, right?"
"Don’t mess around; Mr. Ye is a prince of the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom, and his two sisters possess Eleventh Realm Celestial King Martial God combat power as Martial Arts Powerhouses—are you crazy enough to offend them?"
The young major general, who wanted to say more, immediately shut his mouth.
To Martial God powerhouses, this battleship was just a giant toy—it wasn’t worth antagonizing them over.
Moreover, Ye Qingzhou was already generous enough, allowing officials to access the magic knowledge on the battleship, which hailed from another world and civilization, invaluable to Dongji Kingdom.
As everyone knew, Dongji Kingdom was Blue Star’s best at reverse engineering; even if they couldn’t dismantle the battleship directly, they could still gain insights about magic civilization just by repairing it.
...
On the way back, Ye Qingzhou received a call from Lu Jingyao.
With a sobbing tone, she pleaded, "Please, Ye Qingzhou, save Yan’er."
Upon hearing that his old classmate Lii Yan’Er was in trouble, Ye Qingzhou frowned: "What’s the matter? Don’t rush, tell me slowly."
Through Lu Jingyao’s explanation, Ye Qingzhou learned that Lii Yan’Er had gone missing abroad—her parents had reported it domestically but there had been no news so far.
Feeling helpless, Lu Jingyao remembered Ye Qingzhou, so she called him, hoping for a turnaround.
"What was she doing abroad?"
"A friend from class introduced her; you know, Yan’Er isn’t very talented, and Martial Arts Cultivation is expensive, so she wanted to earn money through live streaming." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
It turned out Lii Yan’Er was chosen by a company called Karen International, who promised to make her famous and arranged for her to attend Fashion Week in Europe.
If true, it would undoubtedly be a great opportunity to become famous.
