Chapter 148 Taking Enhancement Potion! The Director of the Bureau announced the transformation, and now I am a member of the Anti-Terrorism Bureau!

"Okay, I'll report it right away." The assistant nodded seriously.

However, when he turned to leave, he couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Did you underestimate the appetite of those congressmen on Capitol Hill?"

"Five hundred million dollars is all you need to get rid of them? Enough to buy a few bags of screws and a few coffee cups?"

With a manufacturing budget of only 5 million US dollars for a single unit, you want to manufacture a "new stealth bomber"?
This was something that couldn't be done even in the 09s, let alone the even more "corrupt" Eagle Sauce in .

I'm afraid that once it's passed by Congress, it will increase by tens of billions of dollars each year, thereby continuously increasing the manufacturing cost of a single unit until it reaches a very terrifying number.

Whether it is the 'Ford class' or the 'Zumwalt class' that is currently under development, which time has the R&D budget not been directly overspent several times?

Take the B-2 'Ghost' bomber, which was expected to be built with aircraft. More than billion US dollars were invested. The original production cost of each aircraft should have been million to million US dollars. However, only aircraft were built before it was declared "difficult to produce".

The production cost of a single aircraft has been piled up to a staggering 24 billion US dollars. Isn't this the result of the efforts of Congressman Smith?

now.

LLNL laboratory, inside the staff dormitory.

Although the lights in the room had been turned off, Lu Ze was still staring at the information displayed on the screen, lying on the bed without resting.

If the system is connected to the Internet, no traces of network access will be generated. Lu Ze basically uses this method to "surf the Internet" when there are no outsiders around.

And on the light screen, it was the news on the homepage of 'Daxia Aviation Industry Group'.

[Daxia's new stealth strategic aircraft! ]

Others may not know what this "stealth strategic bomber" is, but doesn't he know it?
Even before Daxia released the news, it specifically explained it to the 'Great Wall Watch Organization'.

Lu Ze muttered thoughtfully: "It seems that the War Research Bureau is no longer useful. Is Daxia going to directly transform into the War Terrorism Bureau?"

"That makes sense. There is really no need to continue hiding this opportunity."

He naturally realized what Daxia's intention was.

Because of Lu Ze's appearance, the progress of weapons research and development in various aspects of Daxia was greatly advanced by several years, and even the future military equipment technology was advanced by a whole generation.

Faced with the current situation, it is difficult to continue hiding no matter how hard you try to "cover up".

The weapons and equipment have already been developed, so how can you not put them into service? This is obviously unrealistic.

When my own strength no longer allows me to keep a low profile, and if you don’t believe my tricks, I will just threaten you directly!
This is probably what Daxia is thinking at the moment, and Lu Ze agrees with it.

After all, as long as it can cause trouble for the Eagle Sauce, it is a good thing.

After a while.

When he was about to close the light curtain, he glanced at the things in the space inventory.

“How about taking the medicine directly?” Lu Ze murmured.

He looked at the 'comprehensively enhanced limited-time potion' with envy, even though after taking this potion, it would increase the five dimensions of the body by 24% within 100 hours.

This is very helpful for him to deal with some critical moments.

"What I need more right now is that permanent 20% increase in physical fitness..."

Lu Ze continued to think: "As for improving physical fitness in a short period of time, you can use items such as 'Speed ​​Capsules' to do it."

If he encountered an emergency, the 100% increase in his speed within an hour from the 'Speed ​​Capsule' would be enough, not to mention the 20% extra increase in his five-dimensional qualities after he took the 'Comprehensive Enhanced Limited-Time Potion'.

Moreover, speed capsules and the like are just ordinary blue items at best, and it is not difficult to draw them.

This can be seen from the various 'capsule' items he has obtained in previous draws.

But if you don't use the 'comprehensively enhanced limited-time potion', it would be a waste, because the permanent 20% increase in the five-dimensional physical fitness will never take effect.

"What's more, I now have a prop called a puppet."

“Once it involves a potentially dangerous situation, I will let the puppet explore the way for me.” Lu Ze thought about it and made up his mind decisively: “So, now is the time to take it.”

The saying "use it early, enjoy it early" also applies here.

Immediately, Lu Ze took out a tube of colorless and odorless transparent liquid.

It doesn't look like some kind of 'enhancement potion', but more like the 'saline solution' used in hospitals.

"Gulp!" He drank it down in one gulp.

After a while.

Lu Ze opened his eyes, felt the reaction in his body, and twitched his lips: "Isn't this the 'long-term hunger state' mentioned in the system introduction?"

"Does it need to last a whole month?"

His biggest feeling now was a huge feeling of hunger in his stomach.

Even after eating a piece of bread in a few bites, I didn't feel full at all.

This appetite is probably comparable to Lucy's. No wonder she eats so much on a daily basis. It turns out she is really hungry!
at the same time.

The major military forums in Daxia are still immersed in crazy discussions.

It even intensified, with no sign of stopping.

It’s because the surprise announced by the Air Force today was so “explosive”!

Not only is there a new large strategic bomber 'Y-20', but even a 'stealth strategic bomber' was vaguely revealed.

Many military fans wouldn’t dare to dream of such a grand scene even in their dreams!
At this time.

CTV7 is also preparing to broadcast a program called "Defense Military Frontline".

Zhang Shaozong, known as the "bureau chief" in the underworld, was sitting in the backstage with a melancholy look on his face.

"How should I write this story today? No, how should I say it?"

"Yun-9 modified? This thing is not easy to make!" He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Although the Daxia authorities seemed to have "acquiesced to the public" attitude, and Zhang Shaozong also knew that the thing was the "Y-20 large strategic transport aircraft". But he couldn't admit "openly": everyone is right, this is a large strategic transport aircraft.

On the contrary, before receiving a definite order, I could only debate various arguments for "Yun-9 modification!"

After all, as a soldier, he knew what to say and what not to say.

Even if you say something wrong, it's no big deal. No one will find fault with you. At most, they will just treat it as some after-dinner gossip.

But if you "expose" it in advance and affect the strategic layout of your superiors, it would be a "serious crime".

just.

This time, the exposure of the 'Yun-20' was completely different. Zhang Shaozong immediately knew how to compile it.

No matter how big the Y-9 is, it can't expand several times in size, right?

"Because objects are larger when they are closer, and smaller when they are farther away, this 'transport plane' is actually not that big."

"It's because of the angle that the military fans made it look bigger?" Zhang Shaozong finally thought of a point of entry and nodded with satisfaction: "This is a good explanation and it can be explained away."

While he was racking his brains for a complete logical explanation, the phone rang.

This was a call from a higher authority, but the information it conveyed made Zhang Shaozong look very surprised.

The content is very simple, with less than ten words.

[No need for strategic planning, just tell the truth. ]

Subsequently.

When Zhang Shaozong received the text content that he was specifically told to say this time, he took a deep breath.

He had never even heard of this thing, and it was going to be exposed publicly today?

“I have no experience in this job!”

"Are you asking me to transform into a war sniper?"

This isn't even telling the truth, but is actually a fight against terror, right?
He originally thought that his appearance on the program "Defense Military Frontline" was to cool down the current wave of enthusiasm on the Internet and let all military fans calm down.

But what is about to be said here is clearly adding fuel to the fire, right?
After a while.

As a man who had spent decades in military career, Zhang Shaozong quickly adjusted his emotions.

Went into the studio and started recording.

This is the military program with the highest ratings in Daxia, and especially on this special day, it has attracted the attention of millions of military fans.

First, the host asked Zhang Shaozong a few questions as usual.

"Commander, I heard that the delivery of India's INS Vikramaditya aircraft carrier has been delayed again. What do you think about this?"

"Also, the construction of the Queen Elizabeth started last month. Do you expect it to be completed on schedule?"

Listen to these inquiries.

"It is normal to delay the delivery. The Russians' Gorshkov needs to be modified in too many places. It is impossible to complete it in a few years."

"And I think with the maintenance capabilities of the Indians, as long as the aircraft carrier can be put into normal operation, it will be a great achievement." Zhang Shaozong shook his head: "Don't let it break down after just two steps after delivery."

He is very pessimistic about India's "Gorshkov" aircraft carrier, mainly because the carrier-based aircraft originally designed to be carried by this thing should be the Russian "Yak-38" or "Yak-41", both of which are vertical take-off and landing carrier-based aircraft.

Now it has been changed to a ski-jump deck, which allows carrier-based aircraft such as the MiG-29K to take off and be used. The amount of modification work is really too huge.

Indians are world-renowned for their carelessness. Zhang Shaozong really felt that it would not be surprising even if the boiler and steam turbine power systems, which require careful maintenance, exploded.

"As for the HMS Elizabeth, it's more like an oversized helicopter carrier."

"Given their current poor capabilities, I think it's already very good as long as they don't fly the F-35B into the sea." Zhang Shaozong commented again: "And it's probably not an easy task to equip so many F-35Bs."

He even had great doubts about the combat effectiveness of the "Elizabeth" aircraft carrier.

An aircraft carrier that is designed to carry only vertical take-off and landing carrier-based aircraft. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that it can only be used with the F-35B carrier-based aircraft.

The problem is that although you can buy the F-35B carrier-based aircraft, other countries may not be able to deliver so many sorties of fighter jets each year as required.

By then, having an aircraft carrier but no carrier-based aircraft would be a huge joke.

Many military fans did not take the chief's remarks to heart.

After all, no one can guess what will happen in the future, and now it is just regarded as a "fun".

However, the next question the host asked was a very tricky news for all military fans.

"Commander, regarding the news circulating on the Internet today, the strategic transport aircraft numbered 'Y-20'!"

The host looked at Zhang Shaozong and asked slowly, "What do you think?"

Just when everyone thought that the director would repeat his war rhetoric again.

Suddenly, Zhang Shaozong waved his hand and said, "I think we will not only have the Y-20 strategic transport aircraft, but also other better transport aircraft!"

"The entire air force combat system will undergo a round of iterative upgrades."

Listening to the bureau chief's domineering words.

For a moment, the eyes of all the military fans in front of the TV popped out.

"There are better transport planes? The entire air force combat system will be upgraded? Is this true?"

Some people were stunned and said in disbelief: "Is this something the Bureau Chief can say?"

You are not the director, tell me who you are!

Are you transforming into a war-terrorist bureau?
