PS: The remaining three chapters will be updated at noon.

Li Song returned to Hong Kong Island to be with Ah Lin. Ah Lin is now looking forward to her birthday every day because that's when she can learn to drive and transfer ownership of the house. Since Li Song came back, Ah Lin has been taking good care of him and has become much more proactive.

However, there is still more than a month to go, which is September 24th in the Gregorian calendar.
Although Li Song paid for the house and the money, he also enjoyed it.

After all, beautiful women are a kind of resource, and enjoying resources comes at a price, which is quite reasonable in Li Song's view.

Lu Bu was after Diao Chan, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was after Yang Guifei, and King Zhou was after Daji. Of course, the last one might be a bit of a misunderstanding, since King Zhou had several women and sons.
Compared to the price these people paid, Li Song felt that his sacrifice was entirely worthwhile.

I came back on Saturday and arrived at the company on Sunday morning. Amin also came to the company.

Liu Jiale also came. Li Song first checked Amin's writing and pointed out some problems.

Then Li Song read historical novels written by ghostwriters: one was set in the Three Kingdoms period, another in the Tang Dynasty, and yet another in the late Ming Dynasty.

"This is interesting." Li Song found the last part about the late Ming Dynasty interesting, with the special forces soldier traveling directly to the time when Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself.

After the special forces soldier traveled through time, he found himself inside the palace. The palace was in chaos, so the protagonist grabbed some clothes to wrap himself in and headed towards a less crowded area. He happened to see someone hanging, so he rescued him. The person then started cursing him in a fit of madness, and the protagonist realized that it was Emperor Chongzhen. He knocked the person unconscious, stripped him of his clothes, dressed him in other clothes, and carried Emperor Chongzhen away.

It was thrilling right from the start.

The subsequent outline is that the protagonist takes Chongzhen south and they arrive in Nanjing. However, at this time, a new emperor is installed in Nanjing, and Chongzhen becomes the retired emperor.

The new emperor in the south wanted nothing more than to kill the protagonist, so he sent an army to the north to block the rebels. Moreover, the army he sent was a rabble, and the protagonist relied on this rabble to gradually build up his power and eventually become emperor himself...

"This is good." Li Song looked at the ghostwriter editor. He didn't recognize him. His surname was Li, his given name was Li Siwen, he was only 24 years old, and he graduated from the Department of History at Hong Kong Island University.

"Yes, he talked to me. After listening to what you said, boss, I felt I benefited a lot. He said that the Ming Dynasty was the most regrettable dynasty."

"That's good, this is a good start." Li Song nodded.

"And the compensation?"

"The standard is 100 per thousand words. He can work from home and just needs to submit a certain number of words each month. Of course, if he urgently needs money, we can buy out the work. The maximum is 500 per thousand words. We can give him 100,000 or 200,000 yuan upfront, and then deduct it from the amount each month. He needs to be in debt to have the motivation. Also, he needs to let me review the manuscript every month," Li Song continued.

"it is good!"

On Monday, August 11, 1980, the first day of the seventh lunar month, Li Song returned to Guangzhou early in the morning with two bodyguards.

Section Chief Zhou has already set off and is expected to arrive at the designated coordinates by the early morning of the 12th.

The mainland is on high alert, scaring itself, because the mainland believes that these things were obtained by Li Song's backers through improper means.

If this cargo ship is intercepted at sea, things will get really interesting. It will also prevent anyone from using this as an excuse to cause trouble, and it will also prevent the ship from carrying dangerous goods.

At that time, Section Chief Zhou was on a 3,000-ton cargo ship with more than 30 other people and some equipment. After boarding, they first had to undergo an internal inspection.

When Li Song arrived at the BMW motorcycle factory, he continued writing as if nothing had happened.

Ma Shengli and Liu Qing were in the factory. From Guangzhou to Beijing, so many people were distracted.

Finally, at midnight, Li Song took out a coordinate and said, "This coordinate is easy to see where the ship broke down." Ma Shengli quickly handed the coordinate to a driver, who then drove towards the Yangcheng command post.

Half an hour later, Section Chief Zhou in the Yellow Sea received a new message: the coordinates were only 15 nautical miles away from him.

Section Chief Zhou quickly instructed the captain to head towards the target point.

Forty minutes later, Section Chief Zhou and his team saw a brightly lit cargo ship, and could see that the hull number was the one they had forged.

The telescope shows that the hull numbers appear to have just been painted on.

It wasn't painted on just an hour ago. In 2080, this 8000-ton cargo ship was transported here by a 12,000-ton semi-submersible vessel, and the hull number was painted on when it was launched into the sea.

In fact, the cargo ship had already shown its destination on the second-hand platform an hour and a half ago. This place is not a waterway, so it will not be discovered by passing ships.

Li Song waited until half an hour after the semi-submersible ship left before confirming receipt of the cargo. That is, the cargo ship had only appeared in this world an hour earlier.

Section Chief Zhou and his team boarded the cargo ship via rope ladders in batches. The first batch brought weapons, and after a thorough search, they found no one else. Only the subsequent batches brought their equipment aboard.

After conducting various preliminary tests for toxicity and radiation, Section Chief Zhou and his team arrived at the cab and discovered a more detailed loading list there.

"Holy crap!" Section Chief Zhou quickly compared the list of goods he had brought with the list in front of several witnesses.

They discovered an additional rough structural diagram of the Nimitz, as well as materials for the deck, hull, and other components, along with some material samples and power technology data.

There is also some information on the Seawolf-class giant blackfish, including its power system, material data, and some design drawings.

"A little gift..." Section Chief Zhou groaned. It was a little gift from a ghost.

The Seawolf-class submarine was not fully developed until 1984, so Li Song only obtained some of the completed technology.

Nimitz is fine.

Section Chief Zhou and others started the ship, which surprisingly used a gas turbine engine.

Moreover, the people who went down into the engine room reported that, judging from the model of the gas turbine, it seemed to be the kind used on military cruisers.
Unfortunately, the nameplates on the equipment on the ship had been worn off, but those who boarded the ship were all elite naval personnel, so it was unlikely that they would make a mistake.

That's right. During the repair, Li Song directly chose to install two gas turbines from two Ticonderoga engines inside the cargo ship.

A hundred years from now, such modifications will be a piece of cake.

The navigation manual warns against exceeding the speed limit because military gas turbines are more efficient and the ships can travel at high speeds. However, the overall structure and materials of civilian cargo ships are not as robust as those of warships, and excessive speed can easily cause problems.

Section Chief Zhou sent the highest-level code, and when the command center received it, they were completely stunned.

Then quickly have Ma Shengli find out from Li Song what exactly is up there.

Ma Shengli walked into Li Song's office again. It was already 1:30. Ma Shengli chuckled and asked, "Mr. Li, what other little gifts are upstairs?"
