Desperate

Cen Lu glanced at the two standing straight like pine trees, what was unusual was that this time even his eyes were fixed on the officer.He glanced at the man with extraordinary temperament, and was caught by the golden roses on both sides of the neckline.

Reminiscent of Hou Chunxie's deafening "boat captain", Cen Lu also hurriedly stood up.

The man didn't put on airs at all, and the embarrassment on his face hadn't completely subsided, he quickly waved his hand at Cen Lu: "Professor Cen, please don't be polite, Liang Qian has already told me."

Seeing his kind face, Cen Lu was relieved.He has always been a soft-hearted person, if he really meets someone who is arrogant, he really doesn't know how to get along with him in the next half month according to his bad temper.Now it seems that this brigadier-level captain is unexpectedly approachable, so he also responded with the same courtesy and extended his right hand towards the other party: "Captain Liu, you will take care of me and the technician from now on."

Speaking of the technician, Cen Lu couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied. What's going on with this guy? He's been around the submarine a few times and he still hasn't been able to see the giant Buddha.

What kind of person is it.

In the gap between Cen Lu and Liu Zhihuan shaking hands, a sound of dragging footsteps stopped in front of the two of them at some point, and then a deep male voice sounded, with some inexplicable reluctance: "Captain Liu, Cen Professor, I'm sorry I'm late."

The man was not tall and thin.A pair of small eyes with thick lenses, with a bad complexion.After greeting Cen Lu and General Liu, he turned his head and nodded slightly towards Zhou Pushen.

Cen Lu glanced at him, vaguely feeling that he had seen him somewhere.Looking at Zhou Pushen's way of bowing his head slightly in return, he suddenly remembered that he was one of the witnesses invited by the Senate at that hearing——Gao Fuqin.

It turned out that the school sent him to be a technician.Cen Lu couldn't help but sized him up. Gao Fuqin was neither humble nor overbearing, with black and short hair on his head, like a hedgehog with vertical thorns.

It looks like a prickly head, Cen Lu smiled secretly, in fact, such a person is good, he puts everything straight on his face, and it happens that he doesn't have time to detour with people, he just wants to find someone who is quick to fight.

So he was not polite, and asked directly: "Are you the technician sent by the school? We met before, remember."

Gao Fuqin glanced at Cen Lu and nodded stiffly.

"Well, then we know each other. It will be convenient to work later. I will give you the equipment tonight, and you can check whether it can work normally." Cen Lu subconsciously began to arrange the work.

"There are at least four or five days before the homework site, Professor Cen, don't be so nervous." Liu Zhihuan's gentle voice picked up Cen Lu's words, "Why don't I show you around first, I guess you just arrived, you are only in the main cabin I'll take you to the command cabin." Liu Zhihuan raised his wrist and glanced at his watch while speaking.

Cen Lu was depressed. Liang Qian had already shown off the various new equipment of "Hemera" to him before boarding this thief ship. Now he can almost imagine what the finished product looks like with his eyes closed. .Cen Lu was anxious to go to the auxiliary cabin to have a look at his laboratory, but he also knew that the long time of the boat was precious, and they gave face like this, and it was not good for him to represent Digong University.

So he had no choice but to nod dryly: "Okay, thank you captain."

Seeing that Cen Lu agreed, Liu Zhihuan smiled at him and signaled him to wait a while, then went to the cafeteria window without giving up, reached out and knocked on the closed roller blind, his voice was both funny and helpless: "Old man, I really won't give it to you!" Food? I've been busy all day and night."

I don't know if it was Cen Lu's illusion, but he felt that this high-ranking brigadier general was acting like a baby.Then he got goosebumps from the thought of himself.

Zhou Pushen, who was standing by the side, couldn't stand it any longer, walked to the window in two or three steps and knocked: "Uncle Liu, please open the window, Zhun Liu will..."

The people inside seemed to be irritated, and suddenly cursed again: "You all get out of here! There is no food!"

Liu Zhihuan's face turned pale, he shrugged, and looked at Cen Lu apologetically: "My father made Professor Cen laugh."

Cen Lu wished he could pretend he didn't see it, even though he had already guessed a little bit from the same last name of the two.But he himself is so open and frank, he can only echo: "My father...has quite a character."

"Haha," Liu Zhihuan heard the teasing in Cen Lu's words, and guessed that the old man would not have a good opinion of a nerd like Cen Lu who is visible to the naked eye, so he ended the topic politely: "It's getting late, both of you Come with me. Second Lieutenant Zhou, please join me, Xiao Hou, you can go back and take care of it."

In a few words, the itinerary was allocated for everyone, and everyone went their separate ways.

The command cabin at the bow is as narrow as ever, even more crowded because of the dense equipment and personnel.When Cen Lu and his group stepped into the hatch, almost no one responded, and almost all of them were staring at the monitor in front of them or busy with the joystick in their hands.

Liu Zhihuan seemed to be satisfied with the flattery of the crew, and nodded slightly.He glanced at Cen Lu but was afraid that he would feel left out, so he humbled himself: "All of us who drive submarines here are recruits. In fact, this is hard work, and only rookies can do it."

What he said was half true and half false. It is true that the sailors in this cabin are all young soldiers, but they have also undergone professional training, and only soldiers with clean net worth can be employed. What's more, the position of the captain is in the middle of the command cabin , watching all the time.Cen Lu knows that the authority of the central system of "Hemera" is only linked to the voiceprint of the captain. In case of an emergency, the automatic control system of "Hemera" will immediately block all manual instructions and only listen to the captain's voiceprint. Long one order.

Gao Fuqin was not familiar with the design drawings of "Hemera" like Cen Lu. At this moment, as an engineer, he was suffering from an occupational disease. He was curious about everything, so he asked, "Captain, can I stay in the driver's seat and look at it?" see."

Liu Zhihuan readily agreed: "Okay, just don't interfere with the driver's work."

So Gao Fuqin stayed where he was, and Cen Lu and Zhou Pushen continued to visit with Liu Zhihuan.

Cen Lu's eyes were involuntarily attracted by the sonar control group on the right side of the driver's seat. "Hemera" has no windows, and sonar detection is her eyes and ears. The sonar analysis and control group can almost be said to be the most important group on the entire submarine besides the commander's group.

Assuming such an important position in such a difficult environment, Cen Lu almost found a woman among them very curiously.The woman's light chestnut hair was all pulled up and tied into a high bun on one side of her head, under the pressure of a curly hat.A white hand rests on the radio headset on the side of the cheek.Standing behind her, Cen Lu couldn't see her face. He could only vaguely see a woman with a neat side face, staring at the screen in front of her without blinking.

For no reason, Cen Lu felt that this woman was somewhat familiar to him, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't remember who she was more similar to.

Liu Zhihuan noticed Cen Lu's gaze and followed him.Suddenly the corners of his mouth twitched, and he jokingly said, "What's the matter, Professor Cen, did you see a little red on our boat?"

Zhou Pu, who was standing behind the two of them, froze when he heard this, but no one noticed.

When Cen Lu heard the captain's words, he knew in his heart that this person was making fun of him, so he was not annoyed, but continued with a smile: "That's right, Captain Liu doesn't give way to women, and Cen Lu admires him very much."

Liu Zhihuan raised his eyebrows: "Speaking of women, how can this one on my boat compare with the current chief of Second Lieutenant Zhou. Second lieutenant, don't you think so?"

Zhou Pushen heard that Liu Zhihuan suddenly started to ask himself something, and quickly answered, "Yes, Lieutenant Colonel Dou is the trump card of the technical department."

"Oh?" Liu Zhihuan casually buried the thorn in his gentle tone, "I heard that Second Lieutenant Zhou got involved in some kind of trouble a while ago, and Lieutenant Colonel Dou was very angry. I thought the second lieutenant had been with Dou since then. The lieutenant colonel has made a knot."

Zhou Pushen's expression did not change, he still smiled warmly: "There is no such thing."

Liu Zhihuan stared at Zhou Pushen for a few seconds, and saw that the expression in those black eyes was magnanimous, and there was no trace of resentment, so he felt relieved, stopped continuing this topic, and turned to Cen Lu: "Professor Cen, I guess Before you came, Huai Ye had already briefly introduced the structure and needs of 'Hemera' to you, so I won't repeat it."

Cen Lu was a little strange: "Huai Ye? You mean Lieutenant Colonel Dou? I heard about 'Hemera' introduced by Major Liang, but I didn't know that Lieutenant Colonel Dou also knew the structure of 'Hemera'."

Liu Zhihuan's expression suddenly became a little dumbfounded: "Liang Qian? That's right, taking credit for others seems like something he can do."

Cen Lu became more and more confused: "What do you mean?"

Zhou Pushen at the side couldn't stand it anymore, and directly revealed the answer to Cen Lu: "Lieutenant Colonel Dou is the chief designer of 'Hemera'."

Cen Lu was a little surprised, but when he saw Liu Zhihuan's eyes mixed with admiration and pride, he swallowed his surprise abruptly, and only said: "It's really a hero out of a boy."

Liu Zhihuan is almost happier when he hears someone praise Dou Huaiye than when he praises himself directly, not to mention that this compliment comes from Cen Lu, who is also a technical elite: "Huaiye is young, but he can always do better than his peers."

Cen Lu coughed lightly.

Only then did Liu Zhihuan realize his gaffe, and took a step back in embarrassment, putting away the undisguised longing in his eyes.This step back accidentally alarmed the female sonar detector leaning on his side.The woman took off the radio earphones from her ears, and was about to stand up and salute Liu Zhihuan.

At that moment, Cen Lu saw the woman's face clearly. It was not a very outstanding appearance, but it carried a cold temperament, as if isolated from the world.Perhaps this isolated underwater is the most suitable workplace for her.

Liu Zhihuan leaned over and pushed the woman back: "Sergeant Du, keep working."

The woman didn't have any objections, as if the extra Cen Lu and Zhou Pushen in the command cabin were like air, she didn't even bother to take a second look, so she went back to work mechanically, this time without wearing earphones.

During the silence, Liu Zhihuan's watch suddenly started to flash, and the captain stretched out his hand to press it, and said to the two of them regretfully: "It seems that my lunch break time is up, and then I invite the three of you to visit the laboratory in the auxiliary cabin by yourself. After leaving the command cabin, Xiao Hou will lead you there."

Cen Lu nodded politely: "Thank you, Captain."

Liu Zhihuan smiled at him, showing a row of white teeth: "No thanks, I don't know if we can see each other later, if not..." The latter sentence was said to Zhou Pushen, "Remember...help me and Greetings from Huaiye."

When Cen Lu and the others left the command cabin, he didn't know if it was his own illusion. He seemed to feel that the woman who was as cold as an orchid in an empty valley just now turned her head and gave them a deep, deep look.
