Chapter 200: Wash away the shame! It's the motherland's birthday, let's drink together! (Two in one)
In an instant, the entire land of Daxia was plunged into a scene of jubilation.
Even the most taciturn person can't help but shout "Fuck" at this moment.
Even watching this scene, many people who were well prepared couldn't help but cry with joy.
"Did you see it? This is our Great Xia's aircraft carrier." Many people kept murmuring.
The significance of an aircraft carrier to Daxia is far more than just a top-level combat weapon.
It was created to wash away the humiliation of a hundred years ago, and it embodies all the resentment and tears of the entire Daxia over the past hundred years.
From the humiliation that announced the beginning of Daxia's modern history 160 years ago, to the naval battle 110 years ago, the defeat was even more miserable and blood-thirsty.
'Marshal, our guns can't reach them!'
Every time, tens of millions of citizens could only watch helplessly as the enemy's giant warships and cannons blasted open the country's borders, causing great suffering.
This period of modern history is the bloody history of Daxia, and it is also an unforgettable shame for the entire navy.
Isn't all this due to the backwardness of weapons and equipment? Even the strongest flesh and blood and will cannot make up for the gap in weapons.
And now, their Daxia also has an aircraft carrier, making up for the gap of the past hundred years.
"Did you see it?" Zheng Lixing looked at the distant sky at this time, as if communicating with these "old friends": "Now, our artillery can hit them."
"And we can beat them so hard that they run away in fear, and beat them so hard that they can't take care of themselves."
Across the ocean, Eagle Sauce.
While it was still noon in Daxia, it was still a deep night with a bright moon hanging high in the sky here.
But at this point in time, Lu Ze had no desire to sleep at all. He just closed his eyes and looked at the image on the light screen above his eyes.
At this moment, he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: "This is the final surprise prepared by Daxia. It's actually an aircraft carrier?"
This was something he had not anticipated before. The surprise that Da Xia finally announced was actually this thing.
Moreover, Lu Ze took a close look at the aircraft carrier in the picture. Although many details could not be seen clearly, the main construction aspects such as the bridge modification and painting had been completed, and even the boiler ignition had probably entered the final stage.
It can be said that the only steps left for it to be launched for sea trials are the installation of sub-components such as the navigation radar and hydraulic oil tanks.
Think of this.
Lu Ze frowned and thought: "This should be the Varyag aircraft carrier, right? I didn't expect the construction progress to be so fast?"
“It’s almost entering the final stage.”
This is actually not difficult to guess. At this point in time, the only aircraft carrier being built and renovated in Daxia is the second-hand and scrapped 'Varyag' aircraft carrier purchased from 'Ermao's' home.
Things like aircraft carriers have already been built to this extent, and it is impossible to build a second aircraft carrier at the same time without being noticed.
After all, there are so many surveillance satellites floating in the sky around the world, how could you suddenly see one? He himself had never copied an aircraft carrier and delivered it to Daxia, so it could only be the Varyag.
"This is much faster than in the previous life?" Lu Ze touched his chin and exclaimed inwardly: "It's only the end of 09, and the construction has already reached this stage?"
According to the time point in the previous life, the "Varyag" aircraft carrier should officially undergo bridge renovation in August this year, and the main renovation will be completed next year. All renovation work will be basically completed by the end of 11 for launching and sea trials.
Judging from the current progress, he predicted that it would be officially launched for sea trials early next year, which would be more than a year earlier than in the previous life.
Immediately.
"It should be because of the technology I provided that the progress was accelerated so much?" Lu Ze thought about it and nodded:
"If construction started ahead of schedule, that would be a more reasonable explanation..."
Daxia should have carried out the transformation of the 'Varyag' earlier than in his previous life. It is even possible that when he first submitted the full set of 'F22 fighter' technology to the Xia Academy of Sciences in April, the transformation of the Varyag should have been advanced in advance.
If Lu Ze submits the "F35 carrier-based aircraft" technology, the launching of the aircraft carrier will be imminent, and I am afraid that the entire research and development cycle will be accelerated a lot.
After all, they are preparing to develop the fifth-generation carrier-based aircraft. How can there be carrier-based aircraft without an aircraft carrier? Isn't this nonsense?
"Adding the complete set of technology for the Wasp-class amphibious assault ship that I sent to Daxia three months ago, it makes sense that it's so fast."
"After all, the most lacking technical aspects have all been supplemented." Based on this idea, Lu Ze made some reasonable speculations.
After all, what Daxia lacks is the experience in building large ships such as aircraft carriers, so it chose to use the "Varyag" aircraft carrier as an experience baby to try to master the construction process of aircraft carriers.
Even though it is a conventional-powered aircraft carrier with a ski-jump takeoff, these valuable experiences are invaluable.
However, with the full set of technologies of the "Wasp", which naturally also includes the relevant construction experience of large ships, how can it not be fast to repair and transform it?
That is why we were able to catch up with the transformation progress that took one or two years in the previous life in just a few months.
Suddenly.
An object flashed by in the distant live broadcast of 'CTV' and caught Lu Ze's attention, causing him to temporarily forget about the 'Varyag' aircraft carrier.
His eyes were fixed on a certain place. In the distance, it seemed that a large ship was also being built in the dry dock, and it seemed that it had only entered the laying stage.
It just flashed by the camera and didn't attract too much attention.
"What kind of ship is this?"
"Why does it look so strange?" Lu Ze frowned.
Because of his extraordinary visual perception, and the system's light screen can lock and magnify the specific appearance of a target at any time, he can roughly see its appearance.
This 'ship' under construction doesn't even let you see its main body and island, let alone its deck. All you can see are two long horizontal strips made of houses, placed there like illegal buildings.
The entire layout looks so abstract that it can only be described as such.
For ordinary viewers, it is just a small black shadow on TV that is so subtle that it cannot be seen without a magnifying glass. How can it be as eye-catching as an aircraft carrier?
But Lu Ze was different. He spotted this strange-looking thing at a glance and immediately found something that matched it in his mind.
"The construction progress of Hissing Daxia is not slow? Even 'it' has reached this level of completion?" Lu Ze's heart trembled, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
This is probably the real surprise they are preparing, right?
There were only two extremely obvious long straight lines in front of us.
Others don’t know what it is, but for Lu Ze, the technology provider, how could he not know what it is?
There is no doubt that this is an amphibious assault ship that is in the initial stage of construction.
And it is obvious from the equipment and scaffolding placed next to it that this thing was definitely assembled in the dry dock in the past two days.
Otherwise, the Eagle Sauce's satellites would have been keeping an eye on this place and "inquiring" carefully, so the news would not be so out of date.
"And an amphibious assault ship with electromagnetic catapults?" Lu Ze curled his lips: "Isn't this a bit scary?"
It is not just about building an amphibious assault ship, but also building an amphibious assault ship with electromagnetic catapults. Its combat capability will far exceed that of the Eagle Sauce's "Wasp Class", and will be close to the level between 076 and 075 in later generations.
Daxia's leapfrog development is a bit too outrageous!
Or is this a diversion? Otherwise, according to Daxia's steady and cautious character, it should first develop an amphibious assault ship without electromagnetic catapults, and then build an amphibious assault ship with electromagnetic catapults.
Moreover, Lu Ze thought of a question, a very 'horrifying' question.
"Will the Type 002 aircraft carrier also use a ski-jump deck for takeoff?" He stood there in a daze, muttering, "I'm afraid it will use electromagnetic catapults just like the Type 003, right?"
Now that Daxia is about to equip the "amphibious assault ship" with electromagnetic catapults, how could the Type 002 aircraft carrier still use such a helpless move as the ski-jump type? There is no doubt that it will be equipped with electromagnetic catapult technology.
In other words, Daxia has directly leapt over two generations of aircraft carrier technology?
Doesn't that mean the Type 003 aircraft carrier will have to go nuclear directly? If the current development is the case, how many years will it take?
on the screen.
Waves of slogans continued to be heard.
"The Northern Fleet warmly celebrates Daxia's 60th anniversary!!"
"The Southern Fleet warmly celebrates Daxia's 60th anniversary!"
"."
At about noon, the entire celebration was almost over. "Ms. Lu, there will be a lunch later..." Zhang Yuli said with a smile after walking down the tower.
"Okay, let's go." The puppet nodded.
This location is not far away, just in the meeting hall diagonally opposite.
However, although this time everyone is hosting the event together, including leaders from all over the world, for the distinguished guests of the 'Great Wall Watch' organization.
The doll named 'Ms. Lu' will receive individual hospitality work.
there.
When fireworks were set off at night in Daxia to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Daxia.
Here.
LLNL laboratory, around ten o'clock in the morning.
Lu Ze was pulling Lucy to sit on their old sofa and drinking.
But it wasn't the low-alcohol fruit wine that the two had been drinking before, but a kind of white wine that Lucy had never seen before?
She looked down at the label and the words written on it, and said with her limited knowledge of Chinese: "Two pot heads, what kind of liquor is this? How come I have never heard of it?"
"You've definitely never had Daxia's brand." Lu Ze poured her a glass.
After Lucy took a sip, she felt a strong spicy taste coming. Her face instantly turned red and she stuck out her tongue: "It's so spicy."
Then, she looked at Lu Ze with misty eyes and said, "Why do you want to drink white wine today?"
In the past, when she wanted to drink a few glasses of red wine during dinner, Lu Ze would always refuse on the grounds that drinking was harmful to the body.
Even low-proof red wine is not okay, let alone this high-proof liquor, which is almost the same as the Russian vodka. Doesn't it harm the body?
"Today is my motherland's birthday, have you forgotten?" Lu Ze raised his eyebrows and clinked glasses with Lucy: "Let's drink together."
"Shouldn't we have a good meal?" Lucy's eyes suddenly lit up.
“I see, you don’t want to stay here and go to work obediently, right?” Lu Ze glanced at her and instantly saw through her little thoughts.
"On a good day like this, we should have a big meal anyway!" Lucy took Lu Ze's hand and walked out of the laboratory happily, saying confidently:
"I'll treat you to the best meal to celebrate Daxia's birthday!"
Lucy was holding his hand while walking on the streets of the small town of Livermore.
"How many days will we stay in Daxia?" Lu Ze thought about the question Zhang Yuli had asked about the "doll" in the play.
That is, do we need to go to the Northwestern Province for a visit?
"Let's go to the Northwest Province and stay there for two days. After all, it would be unreasonable not to go back."
Since the hometown of the Great Wall Watch Organization is the Northwest Province, there is no need to hide it at all, and it is even appropriate to go back with a clear conscience.
Otherwise, it will arouse suspicion.
"As for the remaining gift, I will give it to Daxia on the way back," Lu Ze thought.
Since Daxia is about to start building the amphibious assault ship, if this gift is sent over there, I think it will greatly speed up the progress, right?
at the same time.
When the puppet had returned to its residence in the State Guesthouse and began to rest.
there.
At night, Daxia's online world was still in a carnival.
In a certain military forum, a screenshot suddenly started to circulate wildly, and the popularity was rising rapidly.
Less than half an hour after the post was published, the number of replies exceeded 10,000. In this not-so-large military forum, it can be called the 'best post of the year'.
I just saw it clearly written on the title.
[Shock! What the hell are we going to build? Another giant ship?]
Everyone quickly clicked in, only to see a screenshot in the post, which was a screenshot of the 'CTV' live broadcast this afternoon.
It was still the "Varyag" aircraft carrier that had been guessed long ago, and even the content was exactly the same as the live broadcast footage, with no major difference at all.
"OP, Martian rescue!"
"Shenzhouxing, I think it's OK! Are you online too?"
"Damn, isn't this the aircraft carrier that was just announced today? I thought I had traveled through time. This isn't 09, this is 99?!"
"What's so strange about this? Isn't it just the 'Varyag' aircraft carrier?"
"Nobita: Did you specially call everyone out just for this matter?"
These military fans recognized it at a glance. Isn’t this the aircraft carrier that was just broadcast during the day?
This screenshot has already spread all over the Internet and beyond in Daxia. Why would I need to know it again?
They thought it was someone who had missed the live broadcast, and the replies below couldn't help but joke: "Hurry up and watch the live broadcast replay, there's more than just the aircraft carrier as a surprise."
Although the biggest surprise of this military parade was the highly completed "Varyag" aircraft carrier, the appearance of new weapons such as the H-20 also attracted much attention.
however.
Many military fans who just clicked on the post were immediately confused. Why was such an ordinary post so popular?
Is the moderator his father?
With these doubts in mind, they scrolled down.
A screenshot posted by the original poster circled the key points and enlarged the picture again so that people can vaguely see its general focus.
"Look carefully, what is this thing inside?"
"This picture shows not only the Varyag aircraft carrier, but also the high-definition picture of the black dot in the back."
After zooming in, a strange ship appeared on the dry dock in the distance.
Although it looks relatively small, it cannot even be compared with the destroyer being built next to it.
But they also knew that because things appear larger when they are closer and smaller when they are farther away, it did not mean that the "ship" was small. On the contrary, if the dry dock in the distance where it was located was used as a reference, its length could even be more than two hundred meters. As for the width and height, they could not be estimated due to the angle of the picture.
But in any case, it is definitely a "monster" level super-giant ship.
"Why do I feel like it's a new type of destroyer? Our Daxia's next generation missile destroyer?"
"No, how can a destroyer be this big? Even a cruiser can't be this big."
"The starting length is more than 200 meters, so it can only be an aircraft carrier?"
"Aircraft carrier? That's too small. Is it a small aircraft carrier?"
Many people began to speculate.
They even discovered that the position of the ship's deck was not quite right. Not to mention the two "long straight horizontal stripes" that were inexplicably covered up to prevent people from seeing them, the angle of the deck alone was wrong.
It is actually flat. The Varyag aircraft carrier uses a ski-jump take-off method. How can this smaller aircraft carrier have a flat deck?
At this time.
Suddenly, someone made a very bold guess.
"Do you think this could be an amphibious assault ship?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire forum fell into endless silence, but this silence was so "deafening" in everyone's hearts.
Is it an amphibious assault ship?
