Chapter 48 What the hell is a surprise? Did you really steal the B2 bomber technology?
"That's great, I've been looking forward to it." Lu Ze smiled, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
B-2 Spirit bomber, the name alone is the 'white moonlight' in the hearts of many people.
If he had the opportunity to copy a high-tech item of this level, he would naturally not hesitate too much.
"Lucy, are we going in the morning or in the afternoon?"
He was not in a hurry, but slowly finished the noodles in the bowl.
He didn't even need to ask for the specific time. After all, whether it was Lu Ze or Lucy, they were both well-known in the tanking world and would naturally not do something that would "destroy their own reputation."
That means he must have only gone to the maintenance center during working hours. Could it be after get off work?
"Ten o'clock, just in time for lunch."
Lucy thought for a moment and said seriously, "I heard there will be taro pie today. Don't miss it."
"I'm done." She put down an oversized bowl and wiped the grease from her mouth gracefully and gently.
Although Lucy eats very fast, she eats like a typical lady.
"Okay." Lu Ze nodded and started to clean up the dishes while thinking silently in his heart.
"For Daxia, is the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer better technology, or is the B-2 bomber better technology?" Lu Ze thought to himself.
As for the answer to this question, if Daxia were asked to make a choice, it would undoubtedly be the latter.
After all, judging from the research and development time alone, the Arleigh Burke-class, which began service in the 1990s, has already stood on the edge of the times.
It is a remnant of the old era, and there is no ship to carry it in the new world of the twenty-first century.
The 052D missile destroyer currently under construction by Daxia has advantages in almost all aspects except for the lack of vertical launch capability. Not to mention that after the experience accumulated from the construction of the 052D, the "invincible" 055 million-ton destroyer was developed and launched within a few years.
Who would have thought that a missile destroyer would have a displacement of more than 21 tons, and even be loaded with hypersonic anti-ship missiles such as the Eagle Strike-, making it a definite aircraft carrier killer.
Traditional missile destroyers such as the Arleigh Burke class have long been eliminated.
It can be said that in the next ten years, Daxia's development speed in destroyers will probably be beyond the imagination of the whole world.
If Daxia had the technology of the Burke-class destroyer, it might just make its research and development ideas smoother, but it wouldn't be much better.
But the B-2 bomber is different. As a stealth strategic bomber, it is still the only one in service in the world more than ten years later. Even the H-20, which China has been developing for many years, has not disclosed any information related to its maiden flight, let alone entering the official service batch.
In this regard, it is not just the demand for long-range stealth strategic bombers, a considerable part of whose functions have been replaced by large drones. The latter are also to a large extent more user-friendly, lower cost, easier to mass-produce, etc. Another part is also because Daxia has high technical specifications for the H-20.
But no matter how it is explained, the successfully developed B-2 bomber technology is of great significance to Daxia, and it can avoid many detours in the development of the H-20 project.
"Besides, the chances of a B-2 bomber making contact are much more difficult than that of a Burke-class destroyer."
Thinking of this, Lu Ze made up his mind: "It's decided to be you, B-2 bomber!"
There are only a few B2s in the world, and they are scattered across various air force bases, so it is not easy to contact them.
It took a lot of effort to get a B2 to the LLNL National Laboratory, but it had to return after only five days of maintenance.
Who knows when he will have the chance to meet it next time? Therefore, Lu Ze can't let it go no matter what. He can just wait until the next Navy Open Day to go with the destroyer.
At 10:30 in the morning, the sun was high in the sky near noon, and the heat was unbearable.
LLNL National Laboratory, the main entrance to the maintenance center storage area.
"Lu Ze, let's go in quickly."
Lucy fanned her sunburned cheeks with her hands: "It's too sunny."
Although the temperature in California in May is not high, it is definitely very tanned. It would be fatal if you go out without applying sunscreen.
"I should have brought a parasol." Lu Ze apologized and handed over a few wet tissues.
He would feel bad if Lucy's creamy skin got tanned.
The two of them didn't say much and walked in directly.
The entire storage area was still filled with a wide variety of weapons and equipment. Even this latest batch of equipment contained some new stuff that Lu Ze had never seen before.
'AH64 Apache attack helicopter.'
'A-10 Thunderbolt II attack aircraft.'
'Stryker wheeled combat vehicle.'
'.'
Lu Ze did not appreciate these new gadgets too much, and all his attention was focused on the huge machine in the distance.
The hundreds of square meters of space around it were all cleared out, and it was the only equipment that could be parked safely in the center.
It was that B-2 bomber.
Lu Ze chuckled: "No wonder some people say this is a flying saucer that the Eagle Sauce got from aliens. It really looks like one."
This is different from what almost all current aircraft on Earth look like.
The special triangular appearance and extremely flat structure make it look more like a fish or a UFO than a flying vehicle at first glance.
However, this also confirms the saying that when it comes to military equipment, appearance equals combat effectiveness. How can good-looking weapons be just fancy?
The more beautiful the design is, the more painful it will be!
"Lu Ze, this time we only have five minutes without being able to enter the cab."
“This time it’s more urgent because”
Lucy was about to explain the reason when Lu Ze interrupted her with a wave of his hand: "Five minutes is enough."
In his opinion, Lucy's permission to take him on a private tour of the B-2 bomber for five minutes was already an extremely incredible privilege.
Even Michael Hasson, a professor in the laboratory, is not allowed to come to this area casually, let alone bring people here for a stroll and a tour.
Lu Ze was curious about Lucy's identity, but he had never heard of any senior executive named Hill in the LLNL National Laboratory.
But since she herself doesn't want to reveal it, why bother asking so much?
Under Lucy's gaze, Lu Ze slowly walked up to the bomber and gently touched the black shell with his palm. He felt a special touch, cold and hard.
I began to count five numbers in my mind: '54'
In an instant, a message popped up on the light screen above the eyeball.
[Current technological items: B-2 stealth strategic bomber. ]
【Value achievement points: 5W. 】【Please choose whether to copy. 】
There were actually 50,000 achievement points? This huge number was beyond his expectations.
He originally estimated that it would be only about one or two times that of the F22 fighter.
"It should be due to its rarity and value, so this B2 bomber is worth achievement points." He quickly guessed.
It goes without saying that the technological content of the B-2 bomber is definitely not five times that of the F22 fighter.
But considering that the F22 fighter has nearly 2 sorties and costs million US dollars, it is not enough compared to the B- bomber.
If we understand it based on Lu Ze's previous life playing the second game, F22 can only be considered an SR card, and B2 is classified as an SSR level by the system, so the achievement point reward has increased significantly.
Thoughts flashed through.
"Yes." Lu Ze did not hesitate at all and decisively chose to copy.
[Current technological items, the B-2 strategic bomber has been successfully copied! ]
[Reward: 50000 achievement points, a complete set of B-2 strategic bomber technology design drawings and entities (already stored in the inventory). ]
【系统空间物品栏:B-2战略轰炸机、F22第五代重型空优战斗机×2、波音777-300ER、.】
Five minutes passed quietly.
"Lucy, let's go."
Lu Ze felt very happy: "I will treat you to a big meal today. We won't eat in the cafeteria."
"Then let's go to the newly opened French restaurant? I heard their foie gras is delicious." Lucy's eyes lit up.
As expected, it was just as she thought. As long as she took Lu Ze to see the high-tech equipment, she would have a feast.
“Okay!” Lu Ze nodded. He was just going for it today!
A few hours later.
It was still midnight in Daxia, but the lights in a room of Xiake Institute were still brightly on.
The two old men sat upright in their chairs, each with a military coat draped over their shoulders to keep warm.
"Mr. Zheng, Dean, you should go and rest first. I and others will be on duty here."
Liu Zhixue looked at the two worriedly: "If there is any abnormal situation, I will notify you urgently."
As a middle-aged man in his forties but not yet fifty, I can still hold on for a while.
But Zhang Yuli and Zheng Lixing are both over 60 years old, and staying up late is not just harmful to their health.
"It's okay, we'll go to rest later." Zheng Lixing waved his hand slightly and drank the tea in his hand one sip after another to refresh himself.
"Old Zheng, let's go take a break first."
Zhang Yuli felt a little dizzy, but he also advised: "Xiao Liu is here to watch over us, it's enough, it's just a short while, you can't wait, right?"
After saying that, he directly pulled Zheng Lixing, the stubborn old man, to the lounge next to them to have a good rest.
Ever since Zheng Lixing learned that the mysterious organization was preparing a surprise gift, he has lost his appetite and has been waiting for the arrival of a new email.
If we continue like this for a few more days, I'm afraid the surprise will come before the shock.
Just after sleeping for an hour, suddenly.
"Dean, a new email has been sent." This voice seemed to come to their ears. The two immediately opened their eyes and walked into the signal-shielded room.
"Lao Zhang, hurry up and verify it." Zheng Lixing looked nervous and a little restless.
"Isn't this the fastest?"
Zhang Yuli sat in a chair, quickly verifying one safety instruction after another.
In less than a minute, I logged into the mailbox backend and a new email popped up instantly.
[There was a small accident in this plan, and the surprise prepared for Daxia this time may be even bigger! ]
[The technology that our organization failed to master last time, we have brought to you this time. 】
After seeing this content, the expressions of the three people changed drastically.
"The technology that was not obtained last time? The technology that the mysterious organization mentioned last time seemed to be..." Liu Zhixue swallowed, his face full of shock and dullness.
"They're not really going to get the B-2 bomber technology, are they?"
Zheng Lixing's heart was beating wildly: "This is too outrageous."
No matter how he guessed what surprise the mysterious organization was going to prepare, he never thought about it in this direction.
Is this thing so easy to get?
Even Eagle Sauce itself may not be able to make it successfully now, let alone you want to steal the entire set of technology?
"Although I also think it's impossible, but..." Zhang Yuli didn't say anything else.
If it were anyone else, he would definitely not believe it, but Zhang Yuli really believed the words of this "mysterious organization"!
I decisively typed a line of text to reply.
"We in Daxia are looking forward to this surprise and will still give you corresponding rewards."
Everyone in the room stared at the screen, waiting for a response.
At this moment, they seemed to feel that every passing second was unprecedentedly long.
After a while, the reply from the mysterious organization arrived.
[Is this technology surprising enough? How much do you think it is worth? ]
[Technical design drawings of the B-2 'Ghost' strategic bomber! ]
【Analysis of B2 fighter’s manufacturing process and materials. 】
[General GE, F118-GE-100 turbofan engine technical details drawing. ]
[B2 stealth coating alternating high frequency material (AHFM) synthesis formula and preparation method. 】
【.】
time.
"Is this really the technology of the B-2 bomber?"
Zheng Lixing was dumbfounded and said, "Have they really got this technology?"
Hey man, can you explain what a surprise is? This is a surprise!
Did the mysterious organization really get the complete set of B2 bomber technology?
