Chapter 251 Lucy's true identity! The second B-2 packs up all of Eagle Sauce's weapons!
(already edited)
Looking at the spectacular scene in front of them and the "plane" that was cruising back, everyone's heart was filled with excitement.
In the past, "small drones" could only carry out sneak attacks or attack when the enemy is unprepared.
At the same time, the firepower it carries is at most a few grenades and a few hundred grams of explosives. Although it can cause damage to the enemy, it can only temporarily delay the opponent's pace.
If we encounter a large-scale armored march or a large-scale attack, we will still not be able to fight back.
But this kind of "plane" is different. It is an absolute deterrent. It can drop several micro-missiles from hundreds or thousands of kilometers away and give you a fatal blow.
"We need more of these 'drones', no matter what the cost."
"We in Gaza, we in Palestine, need this kind of weapon!" Faso Alonka stared at the liaison officer beside him, trembling all over and uttering a few words through his teeth.
If one drone is so terrifying, how terrifying would the effect be if there were ten or a hundred drones?
As long as he had more of these "bombers", he had absolute confidence that he could turn the situation around.
At this moment, the Slippers Army also sent good news to Persia, using the latest "unmanned bomber" to successfully destroy several designated enemy targets, and also requested more support.
Therefore, Persia has been eager to order more of this weapon during this period.
After all, this is what you need to beat squids!! This is really powerful!
At the same time, on the other side.
In Livermore, it was a little after nine in the morning, and the entire LLNL laboratory was bustling with people coming and going.
It was still the exclusive sofa for two people.
"Lucy, I'm going to go out for a while."
While Lucy was immersed in the game world, Lu Ze said something and walked out.
He planned to go around the entire laboratory and look for treasures here to see if there was anything new that could be copied.
After all, we have entered a new week. Not only has the 'number of copies' been refreshed, but the 'borrowing' permissions have also been refreshed. It's time to spend them.
Walking through various areas of the laboratory, Lu Ze looked at each technological item and began to comment on them.
"In situ electron microscopy? This one has been copied and passed!"
"M270 rocket launcher? What kind of antique is this? Why is this thing in a Class B area? Get someone to throw it away!"
'And this one is useless, so I'll pass it up!'
'.'
After a while, Lu Ze had visited almost all the accessible B-level and C-level areas, but he didn't find anything that satisfied him.
It was not until he had walked around most of the LLNL laboratory and finally arrived at the remote location of the maintenance center that he found nothing that could be called "top technology".
"It looks like we'll return empty-handed again this time." Lu Ze sighed to himself.
However, he was not too sad. In the laboratory, Lu Ze would try to find "top-level technological items" once a day, or two or three times a week, and most of the time he would come back empty-handed.
Just when Lu Ze was about to go home, suddenly at this moment.
Having undergone several rounds of physical fitness transformation, his eyesight was very good. He could see a black thing placed in the warehouse of the maintenance center from a distance of hundreds of meters.
With its triangular layout and extremely black appearance, any military fan can recognize at a glance who this is!
"Fuck, why is there another B-2 bomber here in the laboratory?" Lu Ze's eyes suddenly lit up.
Who would think this kind of thing is too little? They would only ask for more, right?
read this.
He walked over decisively and greeted several staff members nearby.
Since Lu Ze and Lucy often come here to play and hang out, the staff are no longer surprised by his arrival.
After all, with such a large plane parked here, basically no one would pay much attention to it unless someone deliberately sabotaged it.
Could it be possible that someone could have stolen the "B-2 bomber" right under their noses?
Lu Ze placed his hand on its shell and waited for a few seconds, then casually circled around it, silently counting down from five in his heart: '531!'
In an instant, a conspicuous light curtain popped up on the eyeball, and several prompts were reflected in front of the eyes.
[Current Technology Item: B-2 'Washington Ghost'! ]
【Value achievement points: 35000. 】
【Please select whether to copy. 】
Looking at the name displayed above, Lu Ze was completely confused, and a thousand question marks suddenly appeared in his mind.
It's not because of the 35000 achievement points. The duplicated technology items will be reduced according to the threshold, so it is reasonable for this 'B-2' to be reduced from the original 3.5 to .
He was shocked at the name of the bomber, the 'B-2'!
"It's actually the Washington Ghost? How could it be this 'B-2' bomber?"
I took a look at the number on the tail of the plane and it was indeed '88-0332' corresponding to the Washington Ghost, without any mistakes.
But this shouldn't be the case. If he remembered correctly, this thing was severely damaged by an engine fire during a flight training in February 2010 and had lost any value in repair.
How come it showed up at the LLNL laboratory's maintenance center ahead of schedule?
Since it has been maintained again, why did this 'B-2' still have a major accident and catch fire in February next year?
"Is it possible that the internal components had aged a long time ago and were not discovered by the maintenance department at the time, which led to the fire?"
“So even if it has been maintained according to the routine procedures, it cannot change its fate of fire and damage.” Lu Ze guessed secretly.
This is also the most reasonable guess. In later generations, B-2 bombers often had some minor accidents. The most common one was due to the carelessness of the American Air Force, which resulted in the hydraulic oil sensor becoming damp and damaged without being discovered, leading to mechanical failures, etc.
Not only was the maintenance not done carefully, but the ground crew was also irresponsible in maintaining the B-2. They even made incorrect corrections to the pressure sensor parameters in order to force a takeoff. The B-08 bomber that crashed in 2 was most likely caused by these reasons.
Fortunately, every item materialized by the system is restored to its original factory state, so he does not need to worry about this problem.
"Use 'borrow'" Lu Ze muttered silently.
If this isn't copied, it will be out of print in a few months.
[Ding! 'Borrow' was used successfully! ]
[35000 achievement points have been deducted, and the following items have been obtained: B-2 'Ghost Bomber'*1 (already stored in the space inventory)]
"Mission accomplished!" Lu Ze left the maintenance center without looking back.
On the way back.
[Daxia was invited by the Eagle Sauce to participate in the 'Joint Maritime Security Exercise in the Asia-Pacific Region'! 】
As he read the news coming from Daxia, he began to have doubts in his heart.
"What exactly are you going to do?"
“It’s far from the right time to conduct drills with the Eagle Sauce?” Lu Ze touched his chin, constantly thinking about what Da Xia’s intention was.
For now, the weapons and equipment he provided would probably be very difficult to deal with the Eagle Sauce Navy, even with the addition of this B-2 bomber.
Not to mention facing such a terrifying lineup of the entire Eagle Sauce Navy!
Even the Seventh Fleet stationed in Asia alone has a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, three cruisers, 3 missile destroyers and frigates, as well as a large fleet strike group consisting of several "amphibious assault ships" and "landing ships".
With Daxia's current naval strength, it can only be said to have a slight "upper hand" against the Seventh Fleet.
As for the entire Pacific region, it is centered on the United States' strongest Third Fleet, which is much stronger than the Seventh Fleet.
Not counting the "destroyers" and "cruisers" and so on, just the number of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, the entire Third Fleet has five aircraft carrier strike groups consisting of five nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.
Although Daxia is not afraid of the Seventh Fleet, when facing the entire Pacific Fleet, the two sides are not opponents of the same level in terms of apparent strength.
"It seems that I still need to get more good things for Daxia."
“The remaining weapons and equipment can also be handed over.” Lu Ze muttered to himself.
He also has several large ships on hand, which are double rewards obtained from using "Multiplied Copy" before, and can be delivered in a while.
The reason they were not delivered all at once before was that Lu Ze felt it was too hasty to deliver too many ships at once. It would take a lot of time just to conduct sea trials, not to mention the large number of elite crew members required.
But now, we can no longer care about so many things. No matter whether there are enough crew members and soldiers, we should first strengthen the strength of Da Xia.
But this is far from enough. The Eagle Sauce has a super luxurious fleet consisting of seven fleets and eleven nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.
Just two or three aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships cannot change the overall situation.
He must get a Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and more good stuff.
The next day, in Xiake Institute, in the dean's office.
The two old men were crawling on the table, holding pens and signing documents that were passed down from below.
In the heated room, I didn't feel cold at all. Instead, it was so hot that I only needed to wear a coat.
When the whole room was silent, Zheng Lixing raised his head and glanced at his old friend: "Lao Zhang, when can our 'Varyag' aircraft carrier be launched?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yuli paused, thought for a moment and said, "It will be soon. The entire process should be completed in a few months."
After having the "No. 002" aircraft carrier in hand, the modification progress of the original "Varyag" was naturally significantly improved.
"What about Old Yue?" Zheng Lixing seemed to be hesitant to speak.
What he really wanted to know was the "domestic aircraft carrier" independently built and developed by Daxia!
It will use electromagnetic catapults. After all, we already have steam-catapulted aircraft carriers like the Kitty Hawk class, so it is natural for us to develop to a higher level.
What he wants most urgently now is to see that Daxia can also produce a large number of aircraft carriers, so that it can confront the Eagle Sauce Navy fleet head-on.
Zhang Yuli put down the pen in his hand, and a smile appeared on his face: "Old Yue said that the new aircraft carrier project is progressing very quickly and will only be faster than the scheduled date."
"That's good." Zheng Lixing nodded with satisfaction.
He would be satisfied if he could quickly build a large aircraft carrier with electromagnetic catapults.
As for a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, this is not a simple thing and cannot be achieved overnight.
At this time.
The phone on the desk rang. After Zhang Yuli picked up the phone, the secretary's voice came: "President Zhang, the Persian ambassador to Xia, Ahmed Hassan invites you and Academician Zheng."
"Let's have dinner at the State Guesthouse at 8 o'clock in the evening." Hearing this.
The two old men looked at each other, and could see the ridicule in each other's eyes.
If someone asks for a meeting at this time, you don’t need to ask too much to know what the other party really wants.
Zheng Lixing whispered, "Old Zhang, should we leave him alone?"
However, after receiving a look of denial from Zhang Yuli, he said directly: "Xiao Li, tell Ambassador Hassan that I am inspecting down there."
"Give him a message for next week."
After a while.
Persian Embassy.
Ahmed Hassan listened to the reply on the phone, a trace of sadness flashed across his brow: "We still have to wait for the opening of the International Arms Expo."
He has received this reply many times, and this is the Nth time he has been rejected.
It's not that he doesn't want to buy weapons at the exhibition, it's just that it's too unsafe.
Does anyone know if the performance of the official export version has been weakened? Will the ammunition load be reduced? Can it be comparable to the previous version?
Even if what is provided to them is the export version, who knows whether the price will increase?
After all, the Scorpion unmanned cargo aircraft at five million U.S. dollars is too cheap. The Eagle Sauce's MQ-9 unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and others cost tens of millions of dollars.
This kind of "long-range unmanned bomber" will be purchased by many people even if it is sold for 10 or 20 million US dollars.
"I bought too little. I should have bought more." Ahmed Hassan muttered.
He should have placed an order for several thousand units at that time. It’s too late to regret now!
Time passes slowly.
December soon arrived, and even Livermore was getting colder, but unfortunately it didn't snow in the Bay Area.
While Lu Ze was busy copying the high-tech list provided by Daxia, he also occasionally copied some high-tech equipment.
However, he did not rush to submit it to Daxia, but waited for a suitable time, a perfect opportunity.
"Lu, that guy Hassan Michael invited you to another laboratory again?" a loud voice came.
Needless to say, the only people in the entire laboratory who dared to call their mentor Hassan Michael by his name were, besides Lucy, the bald head of the Human Resources Department, Kelly Siss.
As for the rest of the laboratory executives, they basically do not participate in these grassroots decisions.
"Well, but I don't want to go. I want to stay in the LLNL laboratory." Lu Ze nodded with a very gentle attitude.
The mentor, Hassan Michael, is nearly 50 years old and has never been taken seriously in the LLNL laboratory. As a Slav, it is difficult for him to climb to a high position on his own.
Therefore, he had no choice but to go to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory to gather together with his Slavic friends and strive to shine and make achievements in the last possible time.
This is also what most people would do. For example, Ah San is famous for gathering together for warmth.
There is a saying that goes like this: as long as there is one Ah San in the company, a group of Ah San will appear soon until the entire company is full of Ah San.
Not only Indians, but also Mexicans, Slavs and even Asians will do things like banding together for warmth.
However, Lu Ze was not very interested in going to Oak Ridge National Laboratory, as there was no high-tech there that he was eager to obtain.
"Even if you go to Oak Ridge Laboratory, you may not be able to access very good technology."
"Besides, I have to start from scratch, which is totally meaningless." Lu Ze muttered to himself.
He was doing very well in the LLNL laboratory and his employee level was about to be promoted to Level B. Some Level B regional LLNL laboratories were also open to him.
Even with Lucy's help, it would be easier to access various high-tech technologies. Why would we have to go all the way to Oak Ridge?
What are the benefits of going to Oak Ridge?
Staying with Hassan Michael's group of Slavs would only make it more difficult for him to access high technology and would also arouse suspicion.
Could it be that he really wanted to do a project and contribute to the Eagle Sauce? ? Just kidding, he just wanted to cause more damage to the Eagle Sauce.
Listening to Lu Ze's decisive tone.
"Oak Ridge National Laboratory, their laboratory level is higher than ours."
"You will have a longer-term development there." Kelly Xis' eyes lit up, as if waiting for his next answer.
"I think my future at LLNL will be brighter." Lu Ze still shook his head: "Why go far away? I don't think there will be many good opportunities for me there."
Why go to Oak Ridge and copy some high-tech stuff?
He also wants to copy a few more B-2 bombers and F22 fighter jets. He hasn't even got enough wool here yet, so how can he just run away like this?
"Lu, you will definitely succeed." Kaili Xis got a satisfactory reply and went to the top floor of the main building with satisfaction.
Looking at the gradually receding figure, Lu Ze was still filled with doubts.
Is this a test for me? But if he wanted to test me, he should have done it long ago. Is there something he has planned for him?
Before he could figure this out.
"What the bald supervisor said is correct. There will be more projects you can develop in Oak Ridge."
Lucy sat next to him, placed the juice directly on her chest, picked up the straw and started drinking.
Then he said, "Hasen will not ignore you. You can get better scientific research projects there."
For scientific researchers, their own abilities are important, but a good platform is also indispensable. If you stay in the LLNL laboratory every day without too many "resources" to share, it is difficult to achieve too much success.
Lu Ze glanced at Lucy and couldn't help but sigh: "Her talent is indeed innate, and ordinary girls can't even match it."
Then, he patted her obedient little head and said in a sullen tone, "But, I can't abandon you, can I?"
"By then, you won't be able to see me once a month!"
Oak Ridge is not in the Bay Area, nor in California, but in Tennessee, two or three thousand kilometers away.
If I go there, what will happen to Lucy? I can't fly back to see her every weekend, right?
"It doesn't matter. I'll just follow you to Oak Ridge."
Lucy said nonchalantly.
It seems that the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, one of the most sacred places in the eyes of the Eagle Sauce and even scientific researchers around the world, is a place that anyone can enter in her eyes.
Hear this.
"Lucy, what does your family do?" Lu Ze asked quietly in her ear.
After knowing Lucy for so long, he still didn't know what Lucy's family did.
But on the surface, her position in the LLNL laboratory is extremely high, and no senior executive dares to offend her.
I thought it should be a local wealthy family in California,
But even a place like Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which is far away in Tennessee, she looked disapproving, and this is not limited to one state.
Hearing this, Lucy showed a trace of embarrassment on her face. After a while, she said, "My mother's family seems to have been mainly engaged in planting and animal husbandry for generations, and they have some assets in various states."
"My father's side seems to have been more influential since my great-grandfather."
“So everyone might be afraid of me.”
"Hiss" Lu Ze took a breath of cold air.
Although Lucy's description was very simple, he could still guess the general meaning of the lifetime she was talking about.
How can I not be afraid of you? Your family fired all the staff of the LLNL laboratory, and it was like a piece of cake.
Her father's family is a politically powerful family with a history spanning more than a hundred years in the United States. Her great-grandfather was already very influential. Back then, the United States was probably still in the Civil War.
Your great-grandfather was one of those people who followed Lincoln to conquer the world, right?
Even Lucy's mother's family is not simple. You have to know that animal husbandry and planting are both things that only the landlord class can do.
Companies like United Fruit claim to be a fruit-growing company, but they own armies, control most of the plantations in Latin America and South America, and control the lives of hundreds of millions of people. They can be called a true "fruit kingdom."
Can a simple capitalist family become a super wealthy family in the United States through agriculture and animal husbandry?
This person didn't enter the country following Washington. Could this person have gotten off the Mayflower?
However, this also explains why Lucy dislikes the financial capital group so much, and even her family probably doesn't like it.
After all, the main business of the Jews is in the financial industry, which is a major blow to the real economy, and also a resource plunder for the traditional Anglo-Saxon political families. This is also the reason why the two sides are at odds.
"The surname 'Hill' is probably not Lucy's real name." Lu Ze thought to himself.
This is not surprising, as Western society has always used surnames to determine a person's identity.
With Lucy's identity, she must use a less famous name when she goes out, otherwise it will be a big trouble if she is really targeted.
After a brief shock, Lu Ze regained his composure.
"Just stay in Livermore. I like the environment better here."
"Besides, I can play with you more here." Lu Ze rubbed her cheek.
He had already prepared himself mentally for Lucy's identity and was not too surprised.
Anyway, no matter how high her status is, it is only limited to here in the United States or the Western world. As long as she follows him back to Daxia, she will be the foreign daughter-in-law of Lujia Village.
No matter who says it, it won’t work!
"Yeah." Lucy nodded happily.
She also didn't really want to go to a strange city and start a new life, which would be a difficult thing for her.
However, she would go wherever Lu Ze went, even if he went back to Da Xia, she would follow him without hesitation.
At the same time, it is December 12.3rd, Daxia time.
A coastal city in Guangnan Province, Daxia, which is expected by many people.
A grand exhibition is being held, that is the much anticipated 'International Arms Expo'!
