Liu Yong took a moment to ponder the situation before responding to Zhao Zhenbiao's inquiry.
"Before I can provide a solution, I need to know the packaging dimensions of the two machine tools," he said.
"And it's imperative that the packaging is waterproofed. It cannot allow water to enter at least 50 meters deep."
Zhao Zhenbiao nodded.
"My friend is at our company, why don't we head there and discuss the details?"
He suggested.
Liu Yong stood up and agreed. "Okay, let's go there now," he said, ready to take the next step in securing the 10 million yuan that had piqued his interest.
In the reception room of the HTC Group, Liu Yong, Zhao Zhenbiao, and Zhou Zhengming sat together and exchanged pleasantries before getting down to business.
"So, what can you tell me about the machine tools?"
Liu Yong asked Zhao Zhenbiao.
"The two machine tools are packaged separately,"
Zhao Zhenbiao replied.
"Each packing box is 5 meters long, 3 meters wide, 2.5 meters high, and weighs 5,800 kilograms."
Liu Yong nodded, listening carefully to the specifications.
"At that size and weight, Bawang should have no problem carrying them,"
He said.
"Despite being over 30 tons, it can handle it."
Zhou Zhengming, who had been quiet until then, spoke up.
"The distance from Huahai City to RB isn't too far, and Bawang's speed of over 130 knots means we can make a round trip in a day. But we need to make sure the packing is waterproof."
Liu Yong considered for a moment before responding.
"Each packing box must be waterproofed and be able to withstand at least 50 meters of water depth to prevent any water from entering," he said firmly.
Zhou Zhengming didn't hesitate to agree. "No problem, we can waterproof the packing box to a depth of 100 meters."
"Excellent," Liu Yong responded. "Once the packing box is waterproofed, find a remote seaside location and put the machine tools in the sea. Let me know the location afterwards."
Zhou Zhengming needed clarification about how to put the machine tools into the sea.
After a moment, he realized they should put the Dong XC machine tool in the sea first.
Then, when it's quiet at night, Universal Company's ship can go there silently and use lifting equipment to hoist the machine tool on board and bring it back to the country discreetly.
That seemed like the best solution.
Unbeknownst to Zhou Zhengming, Liu Yong could have quickly dispatched Bawang, which could carry up to 5 or 6 tons, to retrieve the machine tools.
The three of them sat together, sipping tea and finalizing the details.
The following day, Zhou Zhengming called Liu Yong to inform him that everything was completed as required and gave him the specific location of the machine tools.
Upon receiving the call, Liu Yong immediately contacted Bawang.
"Hey buddy, I have a job for you. Head to RB right away and bring back the things for me."
"Master, I am on my way,"
Bawang replied promptly. It was a few hundred kilometers from Haihua City in the sea, just after finishing breakfast and wanting to exercise.
After receiving the specific location, the Overlord set off with its giant spear and headed straight to RB.
Liu Yong checked the pet panel and felt pleased. Bawang's weight had increased to 30.6 tons, and it was improving every day.
The weight increase has also led to various attribute improvements.
For example, its strength attribute had reached 1849, making it capable of holding a 17-ton or 8-ton giant spear in one hand and a 5-6 ton machine tool in the other without any issues.
As the Overlord traveled to RB, it covered a distance of about seven to eight hundred nautical miles without making any stops.
After completing two-thirds of the journey within half a day, there were still more than two hundred nautical miles to reach its destination.
Underwater, the massive Overlord moved steadily at a depth of one or two hundred meters, with clear water allowing for a comprehensive view of its surroundings.
Bawang, the substantial snapping turtle, was also making its way through the ocean, oblivious to the presence of a ferocious Big Mac shark more than ten kilometers away.
The Big Mac still needed to spot Bawang too.
Though seeing a creature as large as Bawang was already intimidating, the Big Mac was even more significant, making it an awe-inspiring scenery in the vast ocean.
The enormity of the creature was immediately apparent.
Estimated to be around three to forty meters in length and weighing over 100 tons, it was likely that such a giant shark had never been discovered in human history.
If it were ever found, it would likely be classified as a top secret due to its great size and power.
Its mouth filled with blood, and the giant shark's razor-sharp teeth looked positively bone-chilling. Even for a regular-sized shark, their bite force is impressive, but it could only be described as terrifying for a creature this immense.
It seemed impossible for a shark to grow to such an enormous size. The reasons for this phenomenon remained a mystery for the time being.
The giant shark was amid a feeding frenzy, devouring a whale over ten meters long and weighing over ten tons.
The whale had no strength to fight back, and the shark had bitten off a significant chunk of the whale's body in one swift bite, creating a gruesome and bloody scene.
Meanwhile, the Overlord and Jusha had yet to cross paths, with a distance of over ten kilometers still separating them. If they were to encounter each other, nobody could predict the outcome.
Could the Overlord stand a chance against an opponent three times its size?
The likelihood of that happening seemed very slim.
Bawang was en route and had to pass by a massive and intimidating shark, which he kept at a safe distance of over ten kilometers.
As he progressed further, he drew nearer to RB, and after an hour of swimming, he was only a few tens of nautical miles away from his destination.
Bawang could swim at 135 knots and reach his goal in just thirty minutes.
Without any breaks, he covered over 700 nautical miles in one go. However, he wasn't exhausted but famished after such a long swim.
Bawang decided to take a temporary halt and began his feast mode. With his excellent vision and clear seawater in the area, Bawang could spot big fish up to a distance of one or two kilometers.
However, Bawang wasn't interested in fish that weighed less than a few hundred catties and only went after fish that were at least a few hundred catties or even a thousand catties in weight.
"There's a big fish over there," he exclaimed, having spotted his target.
It was a swordfish renowned for its agility but stood no chance against Bawang's might and was promptly devoured.
While relishing the swordfish, which weighed at least one or two thousand catties, Bawang wondered why it was so massive.
"Why is this swordfish so big? It's more than two or three times larger than common swordfish," he pondered.
Swordfish was a regular item on Bawang's menu; he would have it almost daily. However, he had never eaten a swordfish as massive as the one he had just devoured.
Usually, swordfish weighing two to three hundred catties were considered normal. This enormous swordfish weighing one to two thousand catties was a first for Bawang.
Apart from swordfish, Bawang also savored other big fish, and it took him about 30 to 40 minutes to devour 20 to 30 of them.
After a satisfying meal, he was finally feeling complete.
Bawang had noticed that most of the giant sunfish he had consumed were regular, but a few were significantly larger than usual.
For instance, if he had eaten a one-ton sunfish earlier, the typical giant sunfish he encountered would only weighed a few hundred catties.
Bawang couldn't shake off the feeling that something was not quite right.
Were the fish in this particular sea area larger than in other regions?
Bawang pondered this question, but it seemed wrong. More than 90% of the fish he had eaten were of regular size, and only a handful was considerably more significant.
In some cases, they were even two to three times bigger than usual.
Bawang left confused ...............
