Before this group of scientists, there were senior generals such as lieutenant generals and major generals sent by the Navy headquarters to attend the ceremony. They all had more or less dealt with Mawei, so they were very familiar with each other.

Just two and a half years ago, Dr. Peter and Mavie met. At that time, someone was just a rich second-generation Russian who had money in his pocket but was not a lot of money. If the Russian military was willing, they could refuse to cooperate with him every minute.

Unexpectedly, two years later, the ordinary character who was once the eyes of the military has now become a hot big shot. Even many colonels and major general-level officers respect him particularly. This is not something you can buy through money. It is a kind of prestige that continues to ferment.

"Of course I remember, Dr. Peter, thank you all for your hard work over the years." Mawei smiled and said to the scientists.

"Where is it, Mr. Mawei, if it weren't for your original investment, I'm afraid this guardian-class frigate would not be able to be established until now." Dr. Peter said to Mawei seriously. At the same time, the scientists and colleagues around him nodded and expressed their agreement.

After all, in Russia, scientists engaged in the military field have caught a lot of them. They have many amazing and outstanding creativity and ideas. But they are suffering from lack of funds and cannot start the experiment. Even if they finally apply, they may be suddenly cut in half the way.

A group of people accompanied Ma Wei to the Beihai Shipyard while chatting. This modern shipyard in front of them is much newer than when Ma Wei acquired it. The rusty and aging factory doors and pig iron and equipment piled up everywhere have long been gone.

Instead, there are 10,000 hard-working shipyard workers and shipyard engineers. In addition to the latest shipbuilding equipment and shipbuilding tools, they look like a prosperous and high-quality enterprise.

"Chairman Mawei, dear leaders! Welcome to the Beihai Shipyard for inspection and visit!" Factory director Nevanov, with his senior executives, came to welcome Mawei's arrival.

Due to the benefits of the shipyard and the overall recovery, the beer belly of the factory manager Nevanov also became bigger and bigger. This made the wide suit he was wearing particularly bloated, making Mavie even more unaware of what to say.

In addition to dozens of senior executives, the shipyard manager also specially organized the young and beautiful female workers together to create a unique welcome ceremony.

Many girls from St. Petersburg, wearing conspicuous blush, holding the cheerleader's colored balls in their hands, and kept waving at the factory gate with smiles.

This made someone feel a strong atmosphere of the times and come to his face! Even though he created live broadcasts and the era of smartphones, some old ideas of most people cannot change so quickly...

"Ahem! There is no need to mobilize such a group of troops, let's come over and visit the new frigate's launch ceremony." Mavi waved his hand and signaled Nevanov to withdraw the cheerleaders in front of him.

After all, beside him, in addition to Russian scientists with high IQ, there were also a group of officers from the Navy headquarters. This welcoming ceremony with a strong rural atmosphere really made someone feel a little embarrassed.

Hearing the boss' gesture, the factory director Nevanov immediately asked the carefully selected beautiful women cheerleaders to evacuate quickly. This did not make the atmosphere even more awkward.

Five minutes later, Mawei entered the shipyard accompanied by Navy officers and Dr. Peter and others. Then he came to the dry dock where the Guardian-class frigate was built.

The 20380 Guardian-class frigate, as Russia's first new ship construction plan since the 1990s, has attracted special attention from its superiors. Since the economic disintegration, Russia has no new proposals for large ships, and even some large ocean-going ships built in the Soviet era are stretched.

Therefore, the 20380 guardian-class frigate invested and developed by Mawei is regarded by the outside world as a reflection of the recovery of Russian economy and Russian naval strength.

"Mr. Mawei, the ship in front of you is the Guardian class frigate. Its standard displacement is 1,800 tons and its full load displacement is 2,200 tons. The ship is 111.6 meters long, the ship is 14 meters wide, and the draft is 3.7 meters. It can take 99 crew members, with a maximum speed of 27 knots per hour, and can be a carrier-based anti-submarine helicopter."

"His main naval gun is a 100mm caliber A-190m naval gun. It is equipped with 8 SS-N-25 anti-ship missiles, a quadruple Redut air defense missile vertical launcher... a fixed 400mm torpedo launcher..."

Navigation scientist Peter, who was familiar with Mawei, said that the 20380 guardian-class frigate in front of him is much more advanced than the Grissa-class frigate and Haiyan-class frigate in service in Russia. Even during the process of ship development, the four Russian fleets were very optimistic about it. They were all waiting for the frigate to be finalized, sailed for the first time, and then put into production.

Mawei listened patiently. According to his memory, he knew that the 20380 frigate could serve at least until 2019 without being eliminated.

Just as Russian scientists were introducing it, the dry dock in front of everyone was slowly injected into the sea water. About 5 minutes later, the frigate, which was originally steady on the keel, gradually floated to the surface as the sea water poured in.

It was not until the sea water in the dry dock was level with the outside sea that the dock gates were completely opened. Then the frigate activated the engine and drove the propeller out of the dry dock. It also whistled at everyone, indicating that the ship was safely out of the sea.

Seeing the successful voyage of the Guardian-class frigate, Dr. Peter, who had worked hard for two and a half years to develop, and his colleagues were both proud and emotional. For them, the new frigate was like their own children. It was built from scratch, bit by bit.

"Dr. Peter, I have a question to ask you. I want to invest in the development of a nuclear-powered underwater vehicle. It can be a brand new intercontinental-range underwater weapon, which needs to be able to navigate more than 10,000 kilometers and exceeds the power of nuclear torpedoes. Its main task is to destroy enemy naval bases or aircraft carrier battle groups." Mawei spoke lightly and asked Russian scientists.

Now that frigates have been developed successfully, self-propelled rocket launchers and modified missiles are also popular all over the world. At this time, it is time to develop more advanced projects, such as this nuclear-powered underwater vehicle.

After listening to Mawei's question, Dr. Peter, who was standing beside him, and his colleagues, were almost stunned for a moment.

"Intercontinental nuclear torpedo that can sail more than 10,000 kilometers?" Dr. Peter looked at Mavie with a slight surprise.
