Seeing General Chen as excited as a child.

Fang Yu stopped controlling the drone, turned around and looked at the other party, and asked with a smile on his face.

"General Chen, speaking of which, it's not a festival, why did you suddenly come to visit me? What brings you here?"

General Chen slapped his forehead and burst into laughter.

"Look at my memory! As soon as I saw your new weapon, I forgot everything I was supposed to do!"

His laughter echoed in the command vehicle, but his eyes gleamed with seriousness.

"Fang boy, I came here to give you good news."

Fang Yu raised his eyebrows, a look of anticipation on his face.

"After discussions between President Lu and the chief,

General Chen patted Fang Yu on the shoulder, his voice filled with unconcealable joy.

"The global satellite navigation technology and nuclear submarine technology plans you proposed have all been approved!"

When Fang Yu heard this, his body shook slightly, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

at last!

The Dragon Kingdom’s dual layout of entering space and deep sea can be officially launched!

He took a deep breath and tried to control his emotions.

“Approved? So quickly?”

"That's right!" General Chen said proudly. "General Lu personally reported to the chief and explained your plan in detail."

"After hearing this, the chief made a decision on the spot! He said that these two major projects that are related to the fate of the country must not be delayed at any time!"

Fang Yu nodded slightly, his eyes becoming firm and deep.

He walked to the window of the command vehicle and looked at the drones hovering in the distance, his thoughts already flying to the more distant future.

Five billion, is that enough?

If human and material resources are sufficient, a preliminary system can be built within five years.

In ten years, at most ten years, Longguo will have the strategic deterrent force to rival the United States and the Soviet Union.

"Fang boy, are you ready for a big fight?"

General Chen's voice brought Fang Yu back to reality.

Fang Yu turned around, a determined smile appearing on his face.

"Mr. Chen, I have been waiting for this day for a long time. The project application and preliminary plan are ready, just waiting for this news." He walked to the operating table, pressed a few buttons, and the drone began to return.

"I need to start immediately to form the core team for two projects."

"Global navigation systems require top electronics, communications and rocket experts; nuclear submarines require talent in nuclear power, materials and acoustics."

"Alright!" General Chen nodded emphatically. "I will immediately send letters to all major research institutes and military-industrial enterprises, asking them to transfer their best talent here."

"Fang boy, this time the country has entrusted you with the most important task, you must not let everyone down!"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Hearing this, Fang Yu immediately straightened up and nodded heavily.

However, after telling this news, General Chen suddenly changed the subject and said.

"By the way, although these two projects are important, there's no rush."

"Pack up first and come back to the capital with me later."

General Chen's words startled Fang Yu. He was originally thinking about how to allocate manpower and materials, but his thoughts were interrupted by this sudden invitation.

"Returning to the imperial capital? What's going on?"

Fang Yu put down the controller in his hand and looked at General Chen with some confusion.

General Chen smiled mysteriously, with a cunning glint in his eyes.

"I'll treat you to a feast!"

He patted Fang Yu's shoulder, but did not say any more words of explanation.

Fang Yu scratched his head, confused.

What is Mr. Chen up to?

Have a meal?

Is it to celebrate the project approval?

But he knew that General Chen was always straightforward and would never harm him, so he nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, General."

After arranging the follow-up testing of the drone, Fang Yu simply packed a few changes of clothes and boarded the Il-14 transport plane to the imperial capital with General Chen.

Amid the roar of the propeller engine, the plane slowly took off, and the factory buildings, test sites and drone landing pads on the ground gradually turned into blurry dots.

"What are you going to do, kid?"

General Chen took out a bottle of Moutai from his briefcase, handed Fang Yu an enamel cup, and poured half a cup for each of them.

"Navigation systems and nuclear submarines, these two projects are not small projects."

Fang Yu took the wine glass and took a sip. The spicy wine slid down his throat and ignited a fire in his chest and abdomen.

He looked at the rolling clouds outside the porthole, and his thoughts gradually became clear.

"The Beidou system will be implemented in three steps."

"The first step is to launch five test satellites to verify the technology. The second step is to establish a regional navigation network covering East Asia and the Western Pacific. The third step is to complete the global deployment of 24 satellites."

General Chen nodded, a gleam of approval in his eyes.

"You kid, you've already thought about it."

"The same goes for nuclear submarines,"

Fang Yu continued, tapping his fingers lightly on the rim of the cup.

"First, we solved the nuclear power plant, then conquered the design and manufacturing of the submarine body, and finally the missile launch system. Each step was an unprecedented challenge."

"I still don't understand technical matters even if you tell me so much."

"But I know that any technical problem will not be difficult for you, kid."

Hearing this, General Chen shook his head and raised his glass.

"No more words to say. Cheers! Consider this a toast to your success!"

"Thank you, Mr. Chen..."

The plane flew through thick clouds, and sunlight shone through the window onto the two of them.

With the roar of the engines, they flew towards the imperial capital.

Although General Chen's laughter and chatter could help relieve the boredom, Fang Yu's curiosity did not diminish in the slightest.

What kind of "banquet" was it that made General Chen so mysterious?

……

Soon, the plane arrived in the imperial capital.

After getting off the plane, General Chen pulled Fang Yu into the car that came to pick them up without saying a word.

Soon, the two arrived at the Ambassador Hotel.

Fang Yu followed General Chen through the spacious lobby of the hotel, his footsteps making almost no sound on the thick red carpet.

The crystal chandelier cast a soft light, illuminating the golden pillars and murals on both sides.

He looked around, frowning slightly. Before he could ask General Chen why he was brought to such a high-end place for receiving foreign guests, an old voice with a slight accent came from the reception room.

“Fang, my friend, you are finally here!”

Following the sound, Fang Yu saw an old man in traditional Arab robes standing up from the sofa.

His white turban revealed a weathered face, with a shrewd light gleaming in his deep eye sockets.

His thick white beard was neatly combed, a gold chain hung around his neck, and the gold watch on his wrist gleamed in the light.

“Prince Abdullah!”

Fang Yu blurted out in surprise, and quickly stepped forward to shake the other person's outstretched hand.

"I didn't expect you to come in person."

Abdullah's palms were rough and warm. He shook Fang Yu's hand hard, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes smoothed out.

"It's so good to see you, my friend."

"The equipment we bought from you last time performed very well, especially the rocket launchers, which made our neighbors jealous..."

General Chen smiled and patted Fang Yu on the shoulder.

"You guys chat, I'll go arrange the dinner."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Fang Yu and Abdullah to talk alone.

The living room was filled with a faint scent of Arabian perfume mixed with the aroma of coffee.

Abdullah gestured for him to sit down, and the two sat facing each other on the sofa.

A waiter in a white uniform quietly brought two cups of coffee and then left the room.

Fang Yu picked up the coffee and took a sip.

The rich bitter taste spreads on the tip of the tongue, awakening the somewhat tired nerves after the long flight.

He got straight to the point.

"Your Majesty, are you here to purchase more weapons and equipment?"

Abdullah tapped his fingers on the coffee table, a smile on his face.

"Yes, we do need more equipment."

“But this time, it’s not just about buying weapons.”

His voice suddenly lowered and his eyes looked straight at Fang Yu.

"I have something else I'd like to ask you for help with."

Fang Yu put down his coffee cup and stood up.

This prince would not come to Long Kingdom for no reason. There must be something big going on.

He could feel the weight of Abdullah's words.

Fang Yu answered cautiously.

"Please, my lord. If I can do it..."
