Early morning the next day, Xia Fan called the number listed on the name card, looking for the person in charge of the Navy General Armament Department, He Dong.
The person in the video call was a bespectacled old soldier who looked like an engineer. It seemed he was already informed that Xia Fan would contact him, as he was not in the least bit surprised. Furthermore, he seemed to already be aware of the relationship Xia Fan shared with Traveling Buddha, as well as their exploits in the Burning Star Region.
"Are the two of you free today?" He Dong asked.
"Yes, me and Traveling Buddha have just returned from the Outer Frontier, so the station gave us a week of leave."
"In that case, I might need to go do an inspection of a research center in two days' time, so why don't you two come on down today. The sooner the better, as I still have a meeting I need to attend later in the afternoon."
"No problem. We'll be right there!" Xia Fan readily agreed.
