Chapter Twenty-Two

  Standing on the Nansha Islands, looking out to sea, the surface of the water stretches out endlessly, with the sky and sea meeting at a distant horizon in a white line. The sky is high and cloudless here, with a blue ocean and clear skies; if there were no people moving around, this place would be like a beautiful watercolor painting.

  People who have just arrived here will be excited for a few days, but after the excitement of these few days, the monotonous life that repeats day after day will soon wear away people's sensory stimulation to the beautiful scenery. Especially for someone like Ming Lang, originally a pair of mandarin ducks coming together in love, only to discover when they arrived here that they were actually two cowherds gazing longingly at each other across the sea.

  Upon arrival on the island, Ming Lang only then realized that he was in charge of supplying the ship while Xing Yun was to go aboard the ship to test weapon data.

  ……

  Minglang hadn't even had a chance to hold Lucky's hand and take in the island scenery when Lucky boarded the helicopter.

  It was fortunate that there was no difficulty in adapting to such an arrangement, because his goal was to work, and he met his old classmate Yu Su as soon as he arrived on the ship. Yu Su also applied from Xi'an to support the South China Sea's marine science and technology, more than a month earlier than Lucky, so when Lucky arrived, Yu Su took him around and quickly familiarized himself with everything.

  "All the weapon tests of the M-series warships were operated by you, me and a female computer doctor named Ding Ling. This task is very tight, I've been waiting for you." Yu Su saw his good friend whom he hadn't seen for more than a year, and was obviously very happy, with a faint smile on his face that rarely smiled.

  Lucky didn't think he would run into an old acquaintance again, and was overjoyed: "You know it's me who's coming?"

  "Ah, I sent over the list of personnel boarding the ship a few days ago. When I saw your name, I was thrilled. I'm aware of your capabilities in digital calculations. You know, next June is when we'll be conducting military exercises, and I alone can't handle it all. If we can't complete the task on time, it will cause big delays."

  "Yes, I also heard about it when I received the task. It's really exciting! We should have shown our strength at sea to the world a long time ago and let those who provoke us know that our navy is not to be trifled with." Lucky said forcefully.

  Yu Su smiled and looked at Lucky, expressing deep sympathy, patted Lucky's shoulder: "Yes! Finally have the opportunity to show our navy's power."

  "Oh, by the way, have you heard of Ding Ling?" Yu Su asked suddenly.

  "Fortunately thought for a moment, shook his head: "No.""

  She is very famous in the military circles.

  "Watch out for the step." Yu Su held onto Lucky's arm with one hand and carefully made his way down to the next level of the ship's cabin. The narrow corridor had dark brown non-slip flooring, with small rooms on either side. After walking a few rooms ahead, they stopped in front of a small door. "This is your room, remember, right-hand side, fifth room."

  Good fortune looked back and nodded hastily.

  Yu Su knew that Xing Yun was a bit muddled in this regard. If he didn't make it clear to him, next time he might get the wrong room again.

  After pushing the door in, it is a narrow small room of about three meters, with a single bed, a small desk, and a chair with a backrest under the desk. At the door, there is a coat rack, then a small shoe rack, a wooden small wardrobe, and nothing else in the house.

  Yu Su put all the lucky things beside the bed, then two people sat on the bed and chair respectively, staring at each other for a while, but suddenly there was nothing to say.

  "After a while, Yu Su said: 'We'll have to wait a bit longer for dinner. With all of you new people here today, I'm sure the cafeteria will make something good.' Yu Su said with a smile, and both he and Lucky laughed, it was rare for Yu Su to crack a joke."

  "Hey, you just mentioned someone named Ding Ling, what kind of person is she? Why is she so famous in the military?"

  "She, yeah, has a reputation. The first reason is because of herself. At the age of 14, she had already hacked into the internal network of the CIA in the United States. At that time, she was still living with her mother in Canada, and her father was a diplomat stationed in the US."

  "So fierce?! Fourteen years old, then how old is she now?"

  "Twenty years old."

  "It's really true that heroes emerge in their youth, awesome, awesome!" Lucky exclaimed.

  "There is another aspect that makes her reputation even more widespread."

  "Oh?" Curiosity had been fully piqued, and his heart was filled with a desire to understand this legendary figure.

  "That's her family, her grandfather was General Ding Zhan, who climbed over snowy mountains and crossed grasslands back in the day. Her maternal grandfather Wu Yun was also a famous military figure."

  "Oh." This time, the lucky mouth had changed from a small o to a big O, "After the door!"

  "So, she returned from Canada at the age of 14 and directly entered the National Security Bureau, where she was in charge of information and network. Now she is one of the heads of this department."

  "Wow, that's impressive."

  Good luck is no longer surprising, but shocking. Before even seeing Ding Ling, I have already worshipped this computer prodigy with all my might.

  After a while, when it was time for dinner, he met the Ding Ling who made him admire like a continuous river.
