Chapter 215: Eagle Sauce is angry, Daxia, you are playing dirty, right? Lucy's bold statement, want to live together?
For a while.
Whether it was the Daxia Military Forum, a gathering place for military fans, or various group chats, they all fell into a long period of silence.
Looking at this huge monster in front of you, there is no need to pay attention to other parts, just the prominent "flat deck" feature.
It was like a rectangle was imprinted directly on top of the ship, without even the slightest rounded curve.
Who is it? The answer to this question is already in everyone's face.
What else in the world looks like this besides an amphibious assault ship?
The group chat that Zhang Wei was in was boiling like a frying pan.
"Shit. Is the 'mysterious ship' we built really an amphibious assault ship?"
"It shouldn't be a helicopter carrier. I don't think it's likely."
"Are you talking nonsense? There is obviously a 'dock' at the tail. How can a helicopter carrier have such a thing?"
"Not only does this ship look similar to the Eagle Sauce's Wasp-class, but even its displacement is pretty similar, right?"
"My goodness, doesn't that mean the displacement is more than 40,000 tons?"
When the number "more than 40,000 tons" appeared in everyone's mind, it was as if the string in their brains was broken.
Hey guys, are we serious about this?
The CG picture is not a joke. Is what Daxia built really an "amphibious assault ship"?
In the afternoon, when we watched the ship blow its whistle loudly, it announced the official start of the sea trial.
The entire sea trial will last for a long time, and only after all aspects of performance have been debugged will the Southern Fleet officially receive and put this "amphibious assault ship" into service.
At this moment, someone in the group chat suddenly put forward a very bold idea.
"Do you think it's possible that both CG images are real?"
"Are we still secretly building a 'Nimitz-class' nuclear-powered aircraft carrier? We just haven't announced it yet."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the group felt uneasy for a long time.
Although this idea is crazy, who knows if it is true?
After all, it is hard not to imagine the code name of this model.
It did not use provinces such as Guangnan Province and Jiangnan Province as code names, but used the city where the Southern Fleet base was located as its number.
what does this mean?
In Daxia's planning, such a shocking "amphibious assault ship" is not in the most important sequence, and it is not even worthy of being named after a province.
Then the only higher-level ship that can be named after a "province" is an aircraft carrier!
Simultaneously.
It was late at night here in the Eagle Sauce.
However, this relatively quiet night was obviously not peaceful.
Few people in the entire Pentagon could sleep peacefully, and every department involved in the Asia-Pacific region was brightly lit.
Inside the Office of Global Security Affairs.
As one of them, Kimi Andrew was naturally very concerned about the news coming from Daxia.
In fact, they got the first-hand information faster than the Daxia military fans. Before the photo of the ship was posted on the Daxia military forum, he had already seen the "true face" of the ship.
However, looking at the photos on the table.
Kimi Andrew had only one feeling in his heart, that is, he was simply the king of Gotham City, a clown.
He was not shocked by the news, but felt confused and puzzled: "My guesses were all wrong?"
"What Daxia is actually building is just an 'amphibious assault ship'?"
He had previously submitted several analysis documents to the Ministry of Defense, winning a lot of praise from his superiors.
As a result, I now find that all my inferences are the opposite of the conclusions.
This is not some large aircraft carrier being developed in secret, nor is it some bold breakthrough or innovation. Daxia really just built an amphibious assault ship that is very similar to the "Wasp Class".
"Why did Daxia suddenly build a ship similar to the Wasp-class amphibious assault ship?"
“Has our internal technology been lost?”
These questions troubled Kimi Andrew's mind.
Often, as soon as one question arises, another one follows, and each question conflicts with each other.
But these are no longer important. After all, he is not the FBI or CIA, and these are none of his business.
He only knew one thing, that is, the entire Asia-Pacific region was in big trouble.
"In the next few years, we will likely face multiple fleet battle groups consisting of aircraft carriers or amphibious assault ships."
Just an amphibious assault ship that was finally designated as the 'Type 075' by Daxia was not enough to make Kimi Andrew so worried.
But the problem is.
The shipbuilding speed of Daxia is really too terrifying. It is no problem to build three or four amphibious assault ships of the same level in three years.
If we take into account the Varyag aircraft carrier, whose construction progress has entered the countdown, Daxia will have more than four large fleet battle groups within three years.
This deterrent force is not inferior to that of the United States in the inland seas of the Asia-Pacific region.
Moreover, he also thought of another CG picture.
"Are they really secretly developing a 'nuclear-powered' aircraft carrier?"
Once this thing is conquered by Daxia and built on a large scale, the position of Eagle Sauce as the world's number one overlord will be shaken to its foundation.
This is even more troublesome.
At this moment.
In a senior staff dormitory at LLNL Laboratory in Livermore.
The starlight outside the window, accompanied by the soft moonlight, shines into the house through the small window, bringing some faint light.
Lu Ze closed his eyes and watched the news on the screen. He thought to himself, "This time, Daxia has really mastered the trick of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west."
Before, the Eagle Sauce side must have been following the idea that the other side might have built an "aircraft carrier" simultaneously with the "Varyag", and then looked for clues based on this clue.
As a result, Daxia really only built an amphibious assault ship, and concealed it to the greatest extent during the modification. This is actually the true inside story of a "Wasp-class amphibious assault ship."
However, Lu Ze seemed somewhat helpless about this concealment measure.
"We in Daxia are still too weak," he muttered.
Isn't the main reason why we still need to be secretive and low-key nowadays because we are not strong enough?
If Daxia could possess more than a dozen nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, even if it were to display them openly, no other country would dare to question them too much.
Just like the amazing 'U-2' of the United States, there are people who suspect that they are black technologies obtained from aliens. The United States even has an extremely mysterious 'Area 51', but no country in the world dares to make any exaggerated statements.
Think of this.
"Speaking of which, there should be a lot of good stuff in Area 51." Lu Ze's eyes lit up, and he touched his chin and thought. He didn't think Area 51 was an alien research base. Even if there was a one in a billion chance that it would fall into the territory of Eagle Sauce, a civilization capable of long-distance interstellar travel would be almost impossible to research anything with the current level of human science and technology.
It should be more of a "secret weapon" research and development center. If you can get inside, there will be too many advanced technological items to copy.
this will.
Lu Ze took a look at the situation on the puppet side on the light screen. It was still seven or eight o'clock in the daytime over there. The local time there was ten hours ahead of that here in Eagle Sauce.
Yesterday, the bald director Vladimir Kraf sent a message.
All weapons and equipment have been prepared and are ready to be accepted by "Eva". After the acceptance, the An-225 transport aircraft will be leased for half a month to transport the weapons.
As for rent, Ermao didn't charge a penny. He wanted to leave a good impression on this "international arms dealer" and try to get a bigger order next time.
“In this way, I can go and see the Tu-160 next year…” Lu Ze fell asleep with this thought in mind.
Tu-160, in fact, is not so important to him or Daxia now.
After all, this conventional heavy strategic bomber, a bomber without stealth capability, even if its maximum flight speed can approach Mach 2, is simply a target for air defense missiles in the modern air defense system.
However, this thing was his favorite bomber when he was a child. When he first saw it in a military magazine, this strategic bomber that was like a "white swan" made him obsessed.
Now that I have the opportunity to get in touch with him, I certainly can't miss it.
What's more, as long as the location of the hangar where the Tu-160 is stored is determined, wouldn't it be easy to copy it later?
the next day.
It was a little after nine in the morning local time in Livermore. Since mid-October, the temperature has been getting colder day by day.
Lu Ze also put on the autumn clothes that Lucy gave him. Although there were loose threads on the clothes, it was obvious that they were woven by Lucy herself, with all her efforts.
The puppet on the screen was riding in a car with Clave to a warehouse in the suburbs according to the instructions given by Lu Ze in advance.
She is now going to inspect the "weapons" she purchased this time, and then visit the Tu-160.
read this.
"Lucy, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you." Lu Ze touched the obedient head of the 'divine beast' next to him.
This is a good opportunity to celebrate and have a good meal.
Hearing this, Lucy's face lit up: "I heard that Daxia has a delicacy called 'Buddha Jumps Over the Wall'."
"Shall we eat this this time?"
Recently, Lu Ze’s cooking skills have been getting better and better, and she wants to eat more and more!
Although common dishes such as Kung Pao Chicken and Mapo Tofu are delicious, she now wants to try some foods she has never eaten before.
The dish Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is famous.
Not only had she heard about it from people in Daxia on the Internet, but Lu Ze had also said several times that Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was one of the most delicious dishes in Daxia.
Hear this.
“I don’t know how to do that.” Lu Ze frowned and smiled bitterly, “Besides, there’s no way my dormitory kitchen can make this kind of dish.”
It's not that he really doesn't know how to do it. He took a look at a skill that was emitting light on the system screen.
【Cooking Master: Purple level skill.】
[Introduction: Your taste sensitivity increases by 100%, your control over the heat increases by 200%, your ability to innovate dishes increases by 50%, and your ability to control dishes increases by 100%! ]
[Now, after a short period of study, you are qualified to be the head chef of any restaurant. ]
This was the purple reward he got when he used the blue lottery to draw five times in a row some time ago.
He thought it was some kind of top-grade purple item, or even top-level cash advanced technology like a 'hypersonic missile'.
It turns out to be just a cooking skill?
However, because of this, his cooking skills have improved at an exaggerated rate recently, and the dishes he cooks almost every day are more delicious.
And if he wants to learn how to make Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, he can learn how to make it pretty well in a short period of time by watching.
It’s just that this is not a question of whether Lu Ze can do it or not, but a question of whether the current conditions allow it to be done.
The real Buddha Jumps Over the Wall needs to be cooked for half a month.
Even the simplest version of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall requires simmering for more than several hours. There is only an induction cooker in his small dormitory for senior employees, so there is no way he could make such a delicacy.
Not to mention Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Lu Ze had no way of making some dishes that required high heat cooking.
"Yeah, that seems to be the case." Lucy looked lost and bit her fingers.
To use an old saying from Daxia, a good cook cannot cook without rice.
It was indeed too difficult for Lu Ze to rely on the power of the induction cooker to cook such a difficult dish.
But she really wants to eat it, but there is no Western restaurant in the United States that can cook this kind of food. What should she do?
Suddenly, Lucy thought of a great idea: "Lu Ze, why don't you just live with me?"
"If I connect the next room, I'll have a real kitchen where you can cook."
She could have the dormitory next door connected directly. Since no one lived there anyway, the two high-end dormitories would have a total space of 150 to 160 square meters, so it wouldn't be a problem to even convert it into a real kitchen.
And if Lu Ze lives with her, wouldn't it be easy for her to eat delicious food whenever she wants?
If I feel hungry at night, I can ask him to make me a delicious midnight snack.
Lucy didn't even wait for Lu Ze to object: "It's decided. I'll notify someone to do it right away."
He ran out in a hurry, seemed happy with his own cleverness and resourcefulness, and he was fully motivated in front of the delicious food.
See this scene.
“??? No.” Lu Ze’s face was filled with confusion.
Living with you, are you sure it's just about the issue of 'eating'?
What you eat then won’t just be rice.
If he really does nothing, wouldn't he be worse than a beast?
at the same time.
On the other hand, I took a brief look at the weapons and equipment.
Although the weapons and equipment of the Russians were not advanced and were not even well preserved, the batch they were selling were in good condition.
"There is no problem with these equipments." The puppet nodded: "As for the remaining payment, I will give it to you directly after the weapons arrive safely."
Clough was not surprised, as this was a common practice in the international arms trade.
Even the behavior of Ms. Eva in front of us can be considered easy to talk to. If it were any other arms dealer, you probably wouldn't be able to get the final payment for a year or two.
After all, the Eagles, the Russians, the Daxia, etc. all sell this kind of light weapons and bullets. Why would others choose you?
"Then next, let's go visit the Tu-160." Kraf smiled and walked towards a certain direction in the distance.
The hangar where the Tu-160 is stored is located not far from here.
