Just two days after Wang Xue received the USB flash drive, the landline phone at home suddenly rang.

"Hey, hello, is it Wang Gong?"

Wang Xue immediately heard the unique accent, and the person talking on the other side of the phone must have been the mysterious woman she and Tao Tao met on the way home the day before yesterday.

Gu Jin ...... Is it really alive? ”

"Strictly speaking, yes, he was resurrected ......"

"How can I prove that the video you gave me the day before yesterday is not a prank?"

"Do you really want to know about your husband?"

"Who the hell are you? Is it from an insurance company? ”

"I have to tell you and your daughter, Captain Gu said that he misses you very, very much, the little girl next to you the day before yesterday was Taotao, right? She's so pretty, and this kid has inherited all the virtues of your husband and wife......"

"Can you answer my question head-on?"

Wang Xue's tone was a little impatient.

"Forget about insurance companies and stuff, there's no insurance company in the world that can resurrect your husband and send you a life video! Well, so far, that's all I can say. ”

"I hope you're telling the truth, but how can you make me believe all this in the video? Judging from the date in the video, Gu Jin actually sat in a room to greet me and Tao Tao half a month after being cremated! ”

"Okay, of course I know that you are shocked and confused, I also have a handwritten letter from Gu Jin to you here, and another USB drive with some information that you may be interested in."

"What did you say?"

"Come down and get it, I'll be downstairs at your house, take it home and take a look at it, and then contact me, there is my contact address on the USB drive."

Wang Xue hesitated.

"Okay, I'll get down ...... now."

Downstairs, Wang Xue took a large envelope handed over by the beautiful woman opposite, looked at the cover, and found that there was no handwriting, so she wanted to open the envelope to see what was going on, but the woman said:

"Go home and take your time, three days, and at this time in three days, I'll wait for your reply."

After saying that, the woman smiled at her, and then quickly disappeared into the crowd......

In the days that Nicole was in contact with Wang Xue, Gu Jin's body had fully recovered.

After three days in the outdoors, Engineer Anna began to familiarize himself with the huge freeship.

Despite nearly two decades of experience in ocean-going steamers, it was more or less a challenge to navigate this old, rather rudimentary, World War II-era steamship. After all, if only the age of this ship is counted, this Liberty Ship can be his grandfather, and he knows that this ship belongs to the cultural relics grade, and there may not be many in the world at present, so the condition of this ship is still unknown.

Fortunately, Gu Jin is a person who is very obsessed with ships, and once the whole person devotes himself to the affairs he is interested in, he will soon enter the realm of selflessness.

Compared with the contemporary freighter driven by Gu Jin, the Liberty Ship during World War II was indeed rough and simple, but because of this, this ship was a ship with a simple structure and uncomplicated operation in Gu Jin's eyes.

However, Gu Jin soon discovered that he had underestimated the condition and performance of the ship, and it seemed that the future people were not just taking an old ship for a perfunctory matter, but had undergone a careful transformation.

Therefore, this World War II-era liberty ship, the so-called old, is nothing more than appearance. Gu Jin found that a lot of changes have been made to the inside and outside of the hull of this ship, adding some special designs, in fact, in addition to the hull of this 10,000-ton ship, the performance of the whole ship is not inferior to that of a 10,000-ton modern dry cargo ship.

For example, in terms of hull, the keel has been significantly strengthened, some important parts have been strengthened to prevent reef damage, and the entire hull has been transformed into a double bottom, in addition, two pairs of retractable stabilizer fins have been added.

In addition, watertight compartments have been added, double-deck cargo holds have been improved, transverse design has been added, and not only that, the boat has also significantly improved freeboard, and the ship's cargo pole crane has also been strengthened, which is estimated to be able to lift three tons of cargo at a time, in addition to improving the rudder performance that can be lifted and lowered outside the hull.

For the ship power system and mechanical operating system that Gu Jin is very concerned about, there are also many improvements, the power engine has a main engine and an auxiliary engine, and in terms of electronic equipment, the performance of the sea search radar and weather radar is very powerful, and the search distance is more than 500 kilometers, what makes Gu Jin surprised is that the electronic components of this electronic equipment are very reliable, and there are a large number of replacement spare, Gu Jin understands in his heart that the service life of this ship will be very long.

Crucially, some of the designs even made Gu Jin feel that they had surpassed this era, but what didn't change much was the radio communication and weapon systems, and it was clear that in terms of improving the ship's performance, the designers were mainly concerned with enhancing safety features......

Of course, these improvements are at the expense of speed and payload, but Gu Jin thinks it's worth it, the ship's great significance for crossing the group is self-evident, and safety first is by no means an empty phrase.

One morning, Gu Jin, who was immersed in the ship's instrumentation, didn't notice that Nicole was standing behind him at this time, so when Nicole opened her mouth to greet him, she startled him.

Then Nicole and Yan Yue told Gu Jin that she and Anna had agreed to try to "recruit" his wife and daughter to participate in this group crossing event.

Nicole explained that his wife Wang Xue is a slipway engineer in a large shipyard and should be an indispensable talent for this crossing group, while his daughter Taotao is currently in junior high school and is very good at mathematics, and the junior high school knowledge she is learning now is at the level of the world's top scientists three hundred years ago.

Of course, Nicole also emphasized that the above is not the main reason, the main reason is that considering your Captain Gu's personal feelings, in order for you to participate in the crossing operation without hesitation, Nicole and Anna both think that this is necessary and worth a try, and no matter what the result of the recruitment is, there is no loss for you Captain Gu.

So Gu Jin followed Nicole's advice and recorded two daily videos of himself, but it wasn't until the second video that he euphemistically asked the mother and daughter to participate in the crossing operation with him.

In Nicole's opinion, Gu Jin's rhetoric was so euphemistic that she couldn't hear it at all if she wasn't careful, so Nicole asked Gu Jin to write a handwritten letter to his wife and daughter......

When Gu Jin handed these things into Nicole's hands, he hesitated for a moment and said to Nicole:

"What if...... If they don't agree to follow me through, I hope you can understand them and don't force them, after all, this is not an ordinary thing, and they may even call the police. I...... I have only one wish, and that is to wish them well-being and happiness...... You're not going to do anything to force them, are you? ”

"Don't worry, Captain Gu! You've been dealing with us for so long, and you don't know that our principle is voluntary! Besides, there is no need to force it, if they don't agree, then I'll take back the letter and the USB drive, and then wash away the memory of contact with them.

As for calling the police or something, it doesn't exist, don't worry, if they come, of course everyone will be happy, if they don't come, um...... You can go to the new world and start a new life with peace of mind! ”

"Why do you suddenly feel a little sad?"

"Time will heal all the pain, not to mention that in the new world, you can still start a family again, don't forget, for men in that era, they could have a group of wives and concubines!"

"Your old man is really comforting......"

After listening to Nicole's answer, Gu Jin smiled bitterly, and then he watched Nicole leave the cab in a daze, then he turned around silently and continued to bury his head in checking the various dashboards and various operating levers and buttons in the cockpit.

Soon, his expression became focused, and his mind gradually became distracted......
