Chapter 176 Huge Rewards! The Navy's Real Underpants, Replicating Nuclear Submarines! (6K)
In the dean's office.
“We need to seize these opportunities.”
Zheng Lixing took two puffs of his pipe and said earnestly, "Without an aircraft carrier, there is no territorial sea rights!"
Only by possessing the aircraft carrier, the strongest spear at sea, can Daxia truly move freely on the sea.
Its importance becomes even more important after experiencing this incident.
If Daxia had even one aircraft carrier battle group, how dare the Third Fleet offend like this?
With an amphibious assault ship battle group and an aircraft carrier battle group, who in the near sea would dare to risk their lives to provoke us?
"Yes, but there is no rush. The modification of the Varyag aircraft carrier will take at least two to three years." Zhang Yuli drank his tea in frustration and said, "Besides, don't forget that the progress of the nuclear submarine is even slower."
It seemed that he seemed even less in the mood to talk about this.
The Pu'er tea that should have been "fragrant and pleasant" and "mouth-watering" in the mouth, at this moment, turned into mouthfuls of bitter water that was swallowed into the stomach.
Hear the words.
Zheng Lixing was stunned for a moment, then he sighed softly, "Hey, our nuclear submarines are also a big problem, and we must solve it."
Nuclear submarine, this unnoticed equipment.
When ordinary people talk about military equipment, they don't focus on submarines, but on more eye-catching equipment such as "aircraft carriers" and "stealth fighters", followed by missile destroyers, transport planes, bombers, etc.
This kind of military equipment, which gives off a sense of "dominance" and "magnificence" just by being placed there, is the key topic of discussion.
As for the nuclear submarines under the water, how many people will pay attention to and discuss them?
However, the gap in the Daxia nuclear submarine may be much larger than that of any aircraft carrier.
To put it in one sentence, it is one of the biggest shortcomings of the Daxia Navy at present. Just like the bombers in the Air Force, they are the equipment that most urgently needs to catch up.
"This gap is really too far."
Zheng Lixing shook his head: "We are already far behind the Russians and the Eagles. We must find a way to catch up."
If aircraft carriers can still catch up, then when it comes to equipment like nuclear submarines, Daxia is still far behind both the United States and the Russians.
But if the development of nuclear submarines is not smooth, how can they guard surface ships?
This is a worrying issue and a pain point that must be resolved.
Zhang Yuli was helpless: "It's easy for you to say..."
"If it's so easy to solve, why are we so far behind?"
This is not only the weakness of the navy, but also the pain of everyone in Daxia.
After saying this, the whole office fell into a long silence.
When the two old people were having a headache about all these things.
now.
Eagle sauce, in a huge amusement park in Los Angeles.
Lu Ze held Lucy's hand and walked forward with difficulty.
Looking at the crowds of people rushing around, he curled his lips and said, "Sure enough, there are more than one smart person, right?"
"I didn't expect so many people would come to play so early in the morning."
He and Lucy got up early in the morning and rushed to this "Disneyland", originally planning to have a good time in the morning when no one was around.
I didn't expect that everyone was actually smart? They all came here to play at this time?
After all, this is one of the few public holidays in the whole year in Taiwan, and everyone rushes to this time to play, which causes the entire amusement park to be crowded.
"Let's go take some pictures at the fairytale castle first."
"Then we'll go ride the roller coaster and the Ferris wheel."
Lucy walked in front, hopping and dragging him forward unconsciously.
At noon.
After finally playing a few attractions, the two hungry people ate at a fast food restaurant in the park.
As the most common hamburger 'KFC' fast food in the Eagle Sauce area, Lu Ze's evaluation of it is: it is indeed unpalatable and far less delicious than Daxia's 'Kaifeng cuisine'.
While swallowing hard, Lu Ze also received the latest news from Da Xia.
Looking at the news report displayed on the eye screen, he muttered to himself: "As expected, this is the result."
'They just left in such disgrace. This Eagle sauce is so funny.'
He was not at all surprised that the exercise ended in failure for the Eagle Sauce.
After all, although Daxia looks like an honest and talkative person who is easy to bully and docile.
But you have to know that when a rabbit gets angry, it will bite. If you make it angry, one day "hypersonic missiles" might grow in the desert.
Afterwards, after seeing the joint statement from Japan, Korea and other countries, Lu Ze raised a disdainful smile.
"It's okay, you guys will get used to it in the future."
"After all, Daxia has been your father for hundreds and thousands of years. Now it is just an appetizer."
Judging from the momentum of Daxia's future rise, even if Eagle Sauce does not decline, the entire Asia-Pacific region will be its actual sphere of influence. It is just starting to rehearse in advance at present.
What's more, now that we have Lu Ze's help, isn't it time to change the position of the world's boss?
That night.
After watching the most exciting castle fireworks show at Disney, the two people who had been playing all day had dinner.
Dragging his exhausted body, he returned to the rented hotel.
At one o'clock in the morning, the room was silent.
Lu Ze immediately opened his eyes, tiptoed to the seat next to him, and looked directly at Lucy who was sleeping soundly.
Looking at her extremely peaceful sleeping posture, with her head lying sideways on the pillow and one hand supporting her forehead, she looks like Sleeping Beauty.
Seeing that Lucy didn't respond for a long time, Lu Ze picked up a strand of hair and tickled her nose, but there was still no response.
Even after pinching her cheeks and nose, she showed no signs of waking up, so he just randomly pushed the mischievous person away.
"Stop it, Lu Ze. Don't fight with me for this braised lion head. ZZZZ." Lucy muttered in her sleep.
Look at this scene.
"It looks like he's dead asleep, so we can rest assured." Lu Ze touched his chin.
With Lucy's sleep state that can't be awakened even by thunder or earthquake, there won't be any problem as long as I get back before she wakes up.
read this.
After Lu Ze locked the doors and windows tightly, he walked out.
After all, although the security level of this hotel seems to be very high, considering that Lucy sleeps like a dead pig, it is better to be cautious in a city like Los Angeles which is not very safe.
When everything is ready.
Lu Ze walked out of the hotel from the back door, turned left and right in the block, found an SUV with a local license plate, opened the door and got in.
In the driver's seat, a beautiful white woman with blonde hair and blue eyes, a typical Western face, looked at him.
There was no need for the two of them to communicate in words; she knew what to do and immediately handed over two items.
'Go to your destination immediately, and avoid high-risk areas.'
Lu Ze took the mask and gave an order in his mind.
The 'beautiful woman' in front of him was the puppet he had placed in the city of 'Los Angeles' a week ago.
During this period of time, it had already explored the general situation around Los Angeles according to its own instructions, and successfully found a "highly valuable" technological item.
Now is the time for him to officially go to this place.
Lu Ze took the mask and began to disguise himself. After a while, he turned into an ordinary middle-aged white man, and even spoke with an American English accent.
The 'technological items' discovered this time were in a relatively remote location, so they had to be replaced by cars.
As the off-road vehicle started, the street scenes around it began to rapidly recede.
"This doll is really convenient." Lu Ze couldn't help but admire: "As expected, the golden item is more useful than I thought."
In the past, if he didn't have a tool like the 'doll', he would have had to move forward on foot to prevent his whereabouts from being revealed.
There are so many protective measures now, and there are almost no cameras or other equipment here in the United States. The mask he wears can also prevent tracking, so it is impossible to find him.
This off-road vehicle with a local license plate of "Los Angeles" was speeding through the second largest city in the United States.
It didn't attract anyone's attention. This is the place called "Hollywood" and it is still very prosperous even in the early morning.
It's just that it's not the so-called hustle and bustle of life, but the streets and alleys are filled with all kinds of street urchins, and even people who take drugs and fight are everywhere.
Twenty minutes later.
The car slowly stopped in a remote corner, as if it had not left the big city of Los Angeles.
This is a satellite city of Los Angeles, called Long Beach.
The hotel where Lu Ze and Lucy were staying was only about thirty or forty kilometers away.
After arriving at the designated location, Lu Ze got out of the car, ordered the puppet to stay where it was, and then walked quickly in a certain direction.
More than ten minutes later.
Before his eyes, an extremely busy and huge port came into view.
This is one of the top ten ports in the world in terms of throughput, so even at this hour in the early morning, it is still very busy.
Even though an apparently aimless "old white man" came in from outside, the staff didn't look at it strangely.
After all, there were so many scattered workers or sailors on the dock that it was not surprising to see some people wandering around at all times, as long as he did not walk into the normal working area. However, Lu Ze's target was obviously not the Long Beach Port Terminal, but a location on the opposite bank.
It was a completely different scene over there. It was extremely busy here, but on the other side there were not even many lights on, looking very desolate.
This is a huge naval base and also a semi-open warship port.
This time the 'high-tech item' he said he wanted to copy was located in this place.
He walked to a point one kilometer away from the periphery and stopped.
there.
There are cameras on the walls and at various sentry posts, and there are even armed guards at the door.
Anyone who dares to forcibly break into this military restricted area will be sniped and killed on the spot.
Seeing the target so close before his eyes, Lu Ze's heart moved, and he decisively used an item in the system inventory, and his figure disappeared in this world.
[Ding! Invisibility cloak has been used, remaining time: 29:59 seconds.]
Lu Ze stared into the distance, his eyes sparkling: "Thirty minutes of invisibility should be enough, but we still have to hurry."
He used his fastest speed and easily passed through layers of surveillance in stealth mode, and walked directly into the base through the main gate.
Even if they deployed some tools like "infrared scanning", they still couldn't find Lu Ze who was in "invisible" state.
After a while.
A ship was floating quietly on the water, and there were a few people standing guard beside it, watching it carelessly. They didn't notice anything unusual happening only 20 or 30 meters away.
"There's still plenty of time." He was delighted. Only less than ten minutes had passed.
now.
Looking at the object in front of him that can be described as a "giant", Lu Ze, who was in "invisibility", raised a smile.
With a length of over 100 meters and a width of over 10 meters, it can be considered a larger ship.
This is the truly 'high value' technological item that the puppet finally found after arriving in Los Angeles a full week in advance.
The most eye-catching thing about the ship in front of us is its round head like a "bullet", and its whole body is like a cylinder.
There is no doubt that it is a submarine based on this distinctive feature.
And it is a nuclear-powered submarine!
Lu Ze was overjoyed when he saw the SSN-23 number printed on its shell.
"Only three of these were built, and I think the number was only on the Carter."
'Doesn't this mean that this thing in front of us is still the most expensive third Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarine?'
If he wasn't trying to avoid being exposed, he would have shouted a few times to celebrate the joy in his heart.
This nuclear submarine numbered SSN-23 is the famous 'Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarine'!
Currently, the United States only has three of the world's most advanced attack nuclear submarines.
Sure enough, his week-long wait was worth it, and he finally found this treasure.
"This thing, for Daxia at present, is probably far more important than an ordinary aircraft carrier."
"The 093 class of Daxia has only been in service for a short time, and cannot be compared with the Sea Wolf class at all," Lu Ze muttered to himself.
Not to mention the Type 093 attack nuclear submarine, even the Type 093B attack nuclear submarine that Daxia will improve in the future, the gap between it and this Seawolf class is like the gap between a third-generation aircraft and a fifth-generation aircraft.
It can only be described as 'worlds apart'.
Even the Type 24, which had no confirmed news of being put into service until 095, does not have much advantage over the Seawolf class, and is even lagging behind in many aspects.
Not to mention the Seawolf class, even the third and fourth generation Russian attack nuclear submarines are far ahead of Daxia in terms of technology.
This is probably more sad news than any "nuclear-powered aircraft carrier".
Lu Ze clearly understood this, so he ordered the "doll" to search from the beginning.
What he didn't expect was that there was a Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarine parked in Long Beach Port. It was like a pie in the sky.
After all, this thing has firmly occupied the top position in the list of attack nuclear submarines since its launch. Even the Virginia-class attack nuclear submarine newly developed by the Eagle Sauce not long ago looks more like a low-end version of Seawolf.
It is able to achieve the world's highest underwater speed, produce extremely low noise and dive to a depth of 600 meters.
As a "ship assassin", these attributes perfectly suit the existence of attack nuclear submarines, and the possibility of being detected by radar will be smaller.
Without time to think, Lu Ze directly put his hand on the hull of the attack nuclear submarine.
I felt a cool metallic touch, with a slight hint of the moisture from sea water.
'53.2. 'I started to count to five in my mind.
In an instant, prompt subtitles popped up on the light screen of the eyeball.
[It is detected that the current technological items can be copied: Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarine! ]
[Current achievement points: 120000 points.]
【Please select whether to copy? 】
Looking at the achievement points displayed, Lu Ze's eyes lit up: "As expected of a Sea Wolf level, a full 120,000 achievement points."
'It is a level higher than previous amphibious assault ships.'
However, this seemingly 'huge' copy reward did not cause him to have much emotion.
After all, it's a Seawolf-class attack submarine, so why is it so strange that it's worth 12 achievement points? Maybe the system even underestimated the value of this submarine.
Even though this thing was developed in the 1970s and 1980s, you should know that its technological content is not low at all.
Even the main reason why only three were built was not that this 'attack submarine' was obsolete.
On the contrary, it is still invincible in the world, but because it uses too many new technologies and contains too much high-tech, even the United States cannot afford such terrifying manufacturing costs.
For example, the ship in front of Lu Ze, 'SNN-23', which has only been in service for four years, is the most expensive one and cost 32 billion US dollars to build. Even if the previous two were cheaper, they would still cost a full 24 billion US dollars.
This is the amount that would be spent based on the exchange rate and purchasing power of the 1980s and 1990s!
It can be said that this thing is much more valuable than the 'B-2 bomber' or 'Wasp-class amphibious assault ship'.
Its scarcity attribute is also maximized. After all, there are only three ships in total. If there were fewer, it could be described as a "unique piece".
With only 12 achievement points, I'm afraid the system takes into account that this is a product developed in the s and s.
However, if an attack nuclear submarine like the Seawolf class has 120,000 achievement points.
Lu Ze immediately thought about another question: "If I can copy this to that Ohio-class strategic nuclear submarine."
"The reward points are so generous."
Although they are both nuclear submarines, there is a big difference between strategic nuclear submarines and attack nuclear submarines.
Attack nuclear submarines are mostly used for escort missions for surface ships and as underwater guard forces to carry out attack missions. The warheads they carry are usually ordinary land-attack cruise missiles or anti-submarine torpedoes.
As for strategic nuclear submarines, they are nuclear submarines that launch ballistic missiles, and most of the missiles they launch are equipped with "large-yield nuclear warheads". They are weapons and equipment with great strategic deterrent significance.
The sense of security it can bring may not be less than that of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier battle group, which is also known as the "magic needle that stabilizes the country."
The lack of any of the two will weaken the entire naval force.
'Then next time, we should try to get Ohio as well. After all, the difference between the two is huge! '
The Ohio-class submarines of the United States or the Type 955 Borei-class submarines of the Russians are both fourth-generation strategic nuclear submarines.
Daxia’s 094 strategic nuclear submarine is only the second generation.
While surface ships can catch up with or even surpass the world's advanced capabilities, Daxia's underwater ship force is simply too weak and must catch up.
"It's a pity. I don't know how long it will take for the Russians to develop the 'God of the North Wind'."
"Even if I want to copy it, I don't know where to find it." Lu Ze sighed.
What he actually wanted to copy the most was the 'Borey', a strategic nuclear submarine that had not yet been officially put into service. After all, even the most advanced Ohio-class submarine of the United States was obviously far behind it.
Whether in terms of pressure resistance, impact resistance, or noise reduction capabilities, the God of the North Wind has more advantages and is also more advanced.
It’s a pity that no one knows which shipyard that thing is in now. Given the development progress of the Russians, it’s unknown how long it will take before it can be officially put into service and form combat effectiveness.
However, at present, the overall nuclear submarine technology of the Russians is better than that of the Americans, ranking first in the world.
After all, this is the last glory left to them by the former Soviet Union. It can even be described as the last underwear. If they squander it again, then all their fortunes will be gone.
After finishing the thought, only a few seconds of real time had passed.
"Use the 'multiply copy' permission." Lu Ze continued to issue an instruction.
moment.
Several pieces of information popped up on the light screen of the eyeball again. Just like the previous situation, a large amount of reward information began to refresh.
[Current technological item: Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarine, copied successfully! ]
[Ding, the 'Double Copy' permission takes effect, the number of copies is cooled down for one month (natural month), and the cumulative number of copies is 20 times! ]
[Congratulations on receiving the following rewards: 24 achievement points, 2 Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarines (already stored in the inventory), a complete set of design drawings of the Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarine]
[Ding! Congratulations, you have copied 20 times.]
【.】
The copying was completed, and he had no time to check the reward prompt that had not yet been refreshed, so he directly closed the light curtain.
"There are still 15 minutes left, let's leave first." Lu Ze ran, running in the direction he came from.
While the 'invisibility' state is still ongoing, the most urgent thing is to escape from here.
Once you return to the hotel safely, you will have time to lie down in bed and check it slowly.
(PS: Still 6K two-in-one.)
(Those who have monthly tickets can vote! I am just a little bit away from being in the top 500. Thank you, Yanzu!)
