The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 455 Mr. Shen, where is your boat? Where is your big wooden boat?
[Yes! Yes!]

【I can drive it myself! 】

[I don't need your help! I can drive myself! ]

Yun Kun answered happily. On both sides of the long table, the old monk and the temple keeper of the Mazu Temple showed indescribable expressions at the same time, lowered their voices, and translated to their own people.

Shen Le rolled his eyes in his heart and raised his voice:

"Yun Kun! Don't talk nonsense! Even if you can drive yourself, there has to be someone on the boat to pretend! - Or do you want to scare people to death?"

A ship, no one was pulling the sails, no one was furling the sails, no one was steering the ship, and the deck was completely empty.

This would be fine if it was a modern ship, since the captain's cabin is hidden inside and ordinary people may not be able to see it. But this is a traditional sailing ship...

It really scares people!
"It's okay, it's okay, as long as you can open it yourself." The leading professor smiled and raised his hand and pressed it, as if he was trying to stop Shen Le and comfort Yun Kun:
"Speaking of which, Yun Kun, can you tell us where you have been before?"

【no problem! 】

At a gesture from the professor, the doctoral student skillfully opened the suitcase, took out a world map, and ran to the side of the boat with his junior brother to unfold it.

No one knew what Yun Kun thought. Anyway, after a moment of silence, the temple keeper spoke for him:

"It said it couldn't understand."

"..."

"..."

"No, these are all roads you have walked on yourself, don't you recognize them? Come, look, this is Vietnam, this is Singapore, this is the Strait of Malacca..."

"You said the wrong place name." The instructor sitting on the table corrected calmly:
"Yunkun is a Ming Dynasty warship. You should use the place name of the Ming Dynasty! Come, let's say it again. Malacca was called Malacca in the Ming Dynasty..."

The doctoral student repeated it bitterly. My God, he is mainly engaged in materials research, not historical research!

Talk to him about the analysis of data measured by the spectrometer, talk to him about Fourier transform, talk to him about ion sputtering, he can follow up on everything, and even tell him the place name in the Ming Dynasty...

It’s not that I can’t connect, I just have to search my memory painfully…

Yun Kun understood the place names one by one, but he still couldn't point out other places he had been to. The temple keeper continued to speak for him:

"It said it couldn't read the map."

The doctor's cheek twitched. Oh my God, do I have to work part-time as a primary school geography teacher to teach it how to read maps?

I haven’t taken the teaching qualification exam!
I know nothing about child psychology or child education!
To explain this map, should I start with longitude and latitude, or should I start directly with the national borders? I don't necessarily have to start with the globe!

At the critical moment, the mentor played a key role again. Sitting at the conference table, no, the negotiation table, the mentor continued to turn his head and give instructions:

"Don't show it modern maps. It requires too much prior knowledge and it won't be able to react at once. Give it the Zheng He Navigation Chart, which it is familiar with."

Senior Doctor: “…”

How did I know that this was needed?

I didn't even bring this thing!
It seems like there are replicas on display in museums, but the problem is, it's a very long scroll, who has the time to take it out?

Then, he saw a fellow apprentice open a suitcase and take out a thick pull-leaf booklet.

Holding the front cover with one hand and letting go of the back cover with the other, with a rustling sound, he pulled the pages open and unfolded them again...

"It said it understood this." The temple keeper happily responded:

"It asks you to come over and tell you!"

All of a sudden, the three doctoral students rushed over excitedly. Then, they listened to the keeper of the Mazu Temple calmly repeating Yun Kun's words:
"To sail to Taicang Port, we use a Dan Yi Zhen one-watch ship, and to sail to Wusong River, we use a Yi Mao Zhen one-watch ship..."

"No way!!!" the doctors screamed in unison:

"It's already the year 4024, and we still have to learn the Ming Dynasty's needle map all over again?!"

Only the instructor was unusually calm. Not only was he calm, he also gave them a web link:
"Look, look at this article. "Using Google Earth to achieve the mutual conversion of compass map and satellite map path", see how others study it——

There is a ready-made teacher. You can communicate with Yun Kun more and ask for advice. You can write a very good paper! "

"No way, mentor... we still need to find a compass..."

"Here comes the compass." Shen Le smiled, picked up the compass from the shelf beside the factory, and brought it to the ship. As soon as he got on the deck, the compass needle started to move rapidly, as if communicating with Yun Kun at a high frequency:

"The compass said that he can help show the direction of the needle map, and you just need to remember it..."

"..."

"..."

It was a chaotic scene. Except for a few doctoral students who worked so hard that they looked miserable, everyone else was enjoying the show.

Even, he was still pointing fingers and perfecting his plan:
"You see, archaeologists and historians who study this ship can all ride on the ship and study as they go along."

The middle-aged man who was speaking had a gentle smile and spoke slowly. As he spoke, his eyes slowly moved, scanning between the people on both sides.

In Shen Le's opinion, he has a bit of an official vibe, but not too strong; he also has a bit of a scholar vibe, but not too strong.

I guess he is a think tank type of person who is close to the higher-ups?
In short, when he looked at the group of people coming to the museum, the professors and doctors all had shining eyes and nodded frequently.

Although a few of them looked embarrassed, the middle-aged man soon laughed and continued:

"Of course, a 400-stone ship - how many tons does this ship displace? It might not be comfortable to live in.

Can it be towed behind a large ship, so that everyone can live on the large ship and go on the small ship when conducting research or when the small ship is docked? "

At this, the two older professors' faces also relaxed.

The middle-aged man turned his head and looked at the director of the Special Affairs Bureau. His eyes swept across the group of operatives with straight backs to his right:

"It would be a shame to let the navy take such a wooden boat, as it would easily expose the target.

Find a name, such as a visit and exchange, and let ordinary ships, such as scientific research ships, guard the side, and first follow the route of Zheng He's voyage to the West -"

【Walk around! Walk around! I'll take you there! 】

Yun Kun shouted happily. Shen Le couldn't help but smile, and said to it softly in his heart:

"Take it easy! Don't be so impatient! Listen to the end first! Listen to the end!"

【OK……】

Yun Kun managed to calm down. He heard the middle-aged man slowly say:

As for executing the mission, there was no need to rush. Once Yun Kun was familiar with the route, he could sneak down and do his work quietly when no one was paying attention.

For example, sending a batch of supplies to our colleagues in the secret realm?"

[What secret place? ]

Yun Kun asked Shen Le quietly. Shen Le also answered quietly in his heart:
"It's a secret place in the East China Sea..."

He tried to recount the previous situation and added his own understanding. Yun Kun suddenly realized:
[That's it! I get it! There are some places that you can't go to often, for fear of being found out by others. It's safer to let me take you there! You should have said so earlier! Take me there once, and leave it to me later!]

"...Mr. Shen! Mr. Shen?"

Shen Le was startled and was called back from his distracted state - a state where he was concentrating on communicating with Yun Kun and was oblivious to what was happening around him.

The director of the Special Affairs Bureau was looking at him with a smile:
"Mr. Shen, on behalf of the country, I hope to rent Yunkun from you for a long time to participate in national defense construction, scientific research and other projects. Do you have any requirements for the rental compensation?"

"Ah? Reward?"

Shen Le turned his head and looked at the wooden sailboat next to him. Without waiting for the director to explain to him, "You can choose money, land, or something else," he turned his arm and pointed to the mast:

"Isn't that Yun Kun's reward? Talk to him!"

"..."

"..."

In the factory, the staff from the Special Affairs Bureau and the museum were all moved. The director's chest rose and fell violently, and he forced a smile and said:

"But Mr. Shen, Yun Kun was repaired by you personally, and it is a spiritual weapon that you control..."

"It already has an independent will, so it should have the right to obtain compensation independently." Shen Le shook his head:
"You can register an identity for him and open an account - you should be able to do it, right? All the rewards will be deposited into his account and he can use them as he pleases."

Not only Yun Kun, the puppet, the ink fountain, but also the doll cabinet and the shrine at the back, Shen Le has now opened separate accounts for their own labor remuneration:
Whoever earns the money will have it transferred to their account. Pinocchio wants to buy clothes, and Modou wants to buy wood, saw blades, custom steel blades, and power tools.

The doll cabinet wants to buy new clothes for the little ones in the cabinet;
The Buddhist shrine wanted to buy new hair accessories, writing brushes, inkstones, zithers, harps, flutes, or better quality live broadcast equipment for those women in Luo skirts...

Buy and buy!
It’s only natural that you can spend the money you earn however you want and buy whatever you want!
Of course, as a guardian, Shen Le still had to take a look. First, to prevent them from being cheated, and second, to prevent them from wasting money...

Of course, the treatment will be the same when it comes to Yunkun, and Shen Le will never deduct its income. As soon as this sentence came out, the special affairs bureau personnel came forward with instruments and tried to tinker with Yunkun.

Scan, collect breath, make identity authentication, and register identity.

As for mobile phone card numbers, bank accounts, bank cards, mobile banking, etc., the Special Affairs Bureau personnel still need to go through many departments in person, and they can't be produced in one day...

Shen Le watched from afar, very satisfied. But the director was not very satisfied: "Mr. Shen, the spirit of the weapon has just been born, and its intelligence and its understanding of the world still need a gradual improvement process.

During this time, as its guardian, you should protect its interests - negotiating a price for it is also part of your job!"

That's right. Shen Le was convinced. He thought about it, bowed to the professor, and pointed to the wooden boat next to him:
"Teacher, may I ask, what is your approximate budget for repairing a ship like this?"

"Well……"

The middle-aged professor pondered for a moment. He went over the whole project in his mind and said:
"Take the shipwreck in our museum for example. It cost 1.5 million yuan to salvage it. To house it, we spent another million yuan to build the museum.

——Then, after all these years of restoration and exhibition, the total cost has reached 30 billion..."

Shen Le took a breath through his teeth. Beside him, Yun Kun let out a loud "Wow":
[Won't this be a loss? ]

Judging from the expressions of the people present, many others, especially many non-professionals, also thought so. The professor was not surprised and patiently explained:

"It's not a loss. In fact, the various cultural relics salvaged are currently estimated to be worth 3000 billion US dollars--"

[Wow! So I’m worth $3000 billion?]

Shen Le began to feel a throbbing pain in his forehead. He raised his hand and rubbed his head, complaining in his heart:

"Stop it! You are not worth $3000 billion! Forget about you. An aircraft carrier or a strategic nuclear submarine is not worth $3000 billion either—"

How much is that worth?

"It seems to be only a few billion. Anyway, it is definitely impossible to reach 300 billion?"

[So am I worth $300 billion? ]

"... Of course, $3000 billion is just an estimate."

The professor naturally couldn't hear what Shen Le was saying to Yun Kun, but looking at the golden light in the eyes of the people around him, he could probably guess something and explained calmly:

“In fact, this shipwreck and the artifacts salvaged from it are national treasures and cannot be sold.

However, by salvaging, restoring and displaying cultural relics, we have proved that we are capable of protecting our own cultural relics, which is of great historical significance..."

Shen Le sat upright, respectfully listening to the course on shipwreck salvage and cultural relics protection. After the professor finished speaking, he turned to the director:
“Of course, I won’t ask the Special Affairs Bureau to pay as much as 30 billion.

However, it is guaranteed that Yun Kun can maintain himself on a daily basis, can repair himself when encountering sea conditions, and can also have some savings to spend at will..."

Of course, the spiritual materials used for repair, the salaries of the personnel who can engrave the patterns on the spiritual tools, and so on, are definitely not a small amount.

It’s up to you to decide how much you should pay.

The director sighed helplessly and winked at his subordinates, asking them to work hard on the calculations.

Oh my god, the navy next door only needs to calculate the staff salaries and weapon costs, why is it different here——

Imagine that one day a large navy ship will say, "We want wages too. Calculate our wages..."

“Why is the salary of the Fujian ship next door higher than mine?”

"We are all 055, why is my salary lower than his? Is Zunyi not as good as Yan'an?!"

If this really happened, the navy would probably have a splitting headache... However, it didn't happen. The big ships of the navy didn't ask for wages. Now he is the only one with a headache...

However, the director's headache was not over yet. Shen Le knocked on the table:
"Oh, and there's Luo Pan. Let's calculate the salaries for Luo Pan and Hua Juan as well. Open separate accounts for them and deposit their salaries into them separately—"

The current function of the compass is to point out the way and direction. When used in conjunction with the scroll, it can display a three-dimensional map and provide real-time feedback on where everyone is.

If I go diving with Yun Kun again in the future, maybe I can accurately scan the seabed terrain and project a detailed topographic map?
If we can really do this, it would be much faster and perhaps more precise than sending research vessels or submarines to painstakingly scan the seabed inch by inch with sonar, right?
He counted on his fingers and expressed his thoughts one by one. The more he spoke, the brighter the director's eyes became. The gentlemen on his right who seemed to be from the navy almost couldn't sit still:

How good!

How wonderful!
It would be great if we could do that!

Money is not a problem! Money is definitely not a problem! The Navy budget has a special expenditure on surveying and mapping. We dare to allocate as much as you can scan!!!

"Oh, by the way, can you help me find a place, as close as possible, for Yun Kun to dock when he goes home." Everyone was talking enthusiastically, and their ideas were opened one after another. Shen Le suddenly patted his forehead:
"It's not okay to park it in the factory all the time, and it's not okay to park it in my lotus pond all the time - the pond is too small."

Parked in the factory, Yun Kun could not touch the water, and many of its abilities could not be deployed. It was also poked by a group of wooden piers.

Yun Kun had to shrink his body to stay in the pond, and he felt suffocated, and so did the lotus leaves, water chestnuts, and torpedoes in the pond. Ah Lu had already told him twice!

"no problem!"

The director didn't need to ask anyone about this. He could make the decision on his own authority. He simply took out the map and spread it in front of Shen Le:
"Come on, come on, where do you think would be suitable? Is this place okay?"

With his fingertips on the mansion where Shen Le lived, he moved downstream along the river. Less than two kilometers later, he entered a particularly wide, roughly square river hub of about 700 meters by 500 meters.

Shen Le stared at it for a moment and shook his head:

"I'm afraid not. There are so many ships coming and going here, it's too noisy. I'm afraid Yun Kun will get hit."

"What about here?"

"It's not convenient here... This is the ancient town tourist area, with people coming and going. What if someone goes into the water and touches the boat..."

"Then we'll stop at the pier outside the hotel!" The director simply decided:
"This hotel is also an asset of a state-owned enterprise, so it's easy to communicate with everyone. Just tell them it's a sightseeing boat and they don't need to take care of it, just tie it up!"

Shen Le calculated that the straight-line distance to where he lived was less than 1 kilometer, and the walking distance was less than 2 kilometers. It was indeed very convenient.

Yun Kun was also very happy, the only problem was:
"Hurry up and get my cell phone ready! Get my cell phone ready! Whenever I miss home, you have to come pick me up. I want to be with everyone!"

These were all the errands of the Special Affairs Bureau. In three days, all the work was done, and Yunkun began its first voyage:
From the pier next to the hotel, we went downstream, winding all the way, into the Pujiang River, into the Yangtze River, and out to the sea. A cargo ship led the way, and Shen Le sat in the cabin himself, following the first voyage:
"Where are we going this time?"

"Well, let's go to the secret land of the East China Sea first." As usual, the old turtle came up again, lying on the deck, and explained to Shen Le in a muffled voice:
"That place is too far away from us, but too close to the first island chain. There are ships coming and going from time to time. We have already driven away several groups of them."

Moreover, they are all flying the flags of merchant ships, scientific research vessels, and the banner of "right of innocent passage" to snoop around nearby!

This secret realm must be entirely ours so that we can take it by surprise and achieve the greatest effect.

What if others know about it and are prepared? You won’t be able to attack them from behind and catch them off guard!

[Ah, I've been here before.] Yun Kun happily waved the sail. In the cabin, a puppet came over, holding a tablet, and quickly wrote on the touch screen:
[We have reached the Black Water Ocean... A little further ahead is Ryukyu. There are brothers in our fleet who went there to be crowned and have taken this route!]

The old monk turned his head silently.

The keeper of the Mazu Temple turned his head silently.

Well, before, they had to rely on them to communicate, translate, and talk to Yun Kun. Now, they can just talk directly, and Yun Kun can understand everything;
Yun Kun wanted to speak. There were so many paper and cloth dolls in the cabin. Although they couldn’t speak, they could type and write on the touch screen.

If this continues, they will lose their jobs!
"Now, all we can do is reduce the number of trips back and forth as much as possible, collect a batch of supplies at a time, send them in quickly, and then stay in there for three to six months."

Although the lives of the soldiers who were trapped inside for training were not in danger, they were still psychologically depressed and uncomfortable...

Imagine not being able to communicate with the outside world for three months or half a year. If you get sick or injured, you have to bear it by yourself. You can't even call home. If you want to eat something from the outside world, you can only wait for the next batch after the current batch is finished.

The difficulty forced political workers to work hard to carry out propaganda and education, and to inspire them with the spirit of the previous island defenders...

"It's right in front!"

"Coming!"

There were so many seas that Shen Le couldn't tell which sea was which. Fortunately, the ship sailed through the wind and waves. Not long after, an old turtle appeared on the merchant ship, pointing forward at the same time:

"There's a whirlpool ahead! Let's wait for a while until the spell is activated and the whirlpool opens..."

[Do we need to wait for the big whirlpool? No need! ]

Yun Kun suddenly interrupted. Then, with the sails flapping, it plunged forward—

The bow of the ship lowered, the hull lowered, and the sky, which looked like glass or crystal, closed again above the head.

Before the navy officer who was walking this road for the first time could even exclaim, his eyes suddenly darkened and then brightened, and he was back under the clear blue sky:
[Is it here? It’s here, right?! ]

What a big place!

The calm sea, the vast sky, the islands in the distance, the ships sailing across the sea... and the speedboats speeding by...

[You have entered a military area! I repeat, you have entered a military area! Please identify yourself, put down your weapons, and wait for boarding inspection! ]

On the speedboat, two rocket launchers and seven or eight rifles were aimed at... a Ming Dynasty 400-ton wooden warship...

"Wait!" Shen Le threw himself onto the side of the boat, stuck his head out and shouted:
"Don't shoot! We are one family! We are here to test whether we can deliver supplies to you! Send someone to come aboard to take a look! There is still a batch of supplies on board!!!"

"..."

"..."

After a while of communication, the two sides finally confirmed each other's identities. Yun Kun slowly drove to the dock and let the naval soldiers unload the cargo.

The guy had just finished unloading the goods and was still chatting when he turned around:

"!!! Mr. Shen, where is your boat? Where is your huge wooden boat?!"
