Chapter 764: Appearance
In the port of Seattle, the Silence is quietly parked on the pier.
Countless reporters pressed the shutter desperately below.
The onlookers almost paralyzed the entire pier, pointing and pointing, shocked by the astonishing change of the Silence.
In fact, if it weren't for the huge "Silence" written on it, I'm afraid no one would think it was the Silence.
This old ship from the Soviet era has been refitted many times, and the only connection with it is probably the unique gray mottled painting on the hull, which shows a sense of history.
But other than that, the entire Silence was completely reborn.
Standing in front of the Silence, the first thing I felt was that the Silence was parked in the port, which seemed much taller than before.
Because of its light weight, the waterline of the Silence was much shallower than before, allowing most of the hull that was not underwater to surface.
And the change in appearance is even more astonishing.
It was as if there was a giant hand, holding the Silence and gently kneading it, turning the cold and hard refined steel into soft fingers, sharpening the cut corners of the bow, making it sharper and smoother, and turning the cold and hard steel into soft fingers. The deck line of the ship is pinched into a smooth arc, the bow is slightly tilted, and the stern is gathered below the waterline. The lower part of the whole ship is like a curly lotus leaf that just sticks out of the water in early summer, with a metallic gray mottled paintwork. And the light and smooth lines like pointed lotus leaves, delicate and cold, full of strong visual impact.
Above the hull, the chaotic, cold, and abrupt bridges, weapons and various radar equipment of the old warship were almost completely removed, and turned into four decks with smooth arcs. The white of the four decks was The bottom, with silver-gray trim, shines brightly in the sun, like a beautiful palace wrapped in metal lotus leaves.
The hull is close to one-third of the tail, and two hydrofoils protrude obliquely into the water. This is the design that the Silence had already had when it captured the Sea Dragon class last time, but at this time the two hydrofoils and the hull are more Harmonious, if viewed from the side and rear, the Silence looks like a huge water bird with drooping wings and a curved neck.
This change in appearance also made the Silence completely break away from the appearance of the old warship before, and began to approach the super yacht. Everyone who saw such a Silence couldn't help but think about a question.
The Ship of Theseus Problem.
Transformed into such a silent number, is it still a silent number?
If not, what about those ships that have been in service for more than a hundred years and have undergone countless modifications?
If so, how much of the original Silence's lineage does it have?
What will the Silence look like in a few more years?
But for those who are lazy, there is no such problem, because no matter how you change it, there is one thing that cannot be changed, and that is the core of the Silence, which is the only nuclear fusion reactor in the world. The sonar system is also unique, there is no semicolon, without these two, it is impossible to build a second Silence.
This is the first time that the Silence has docked at a port in the United States. The biggest benefit brought to Nan Ming by this legendary journey is that the Silence has obtained the right to legally stay at a port in the United States. For other ships, this It's not difficult at all, but it's much more difficult for the Silence, because the Silence is strictly speaking an armed ship with powerful firepower.
Of course, this also has a lot to do with the change in the appearance of the Silence, because the current Silence looks like a very advanced private yacht, not as aggressive as the original warship.
After taking care of the Eslagon family, Nan Ming's influence has reached its peak, and Lao Ma's old version of "Avengers" has expanded to dozens of people, each of whom is a big shot in their respective fields. .
Although these people kept silent about their previous encounters, they also knew that there was a magical power in this world, and there was another person in this world called "Nanming Great Demon King".
On the side of the Silence, a group of sailors in snow-white uniforms straddled their hands behind their backs and stood side by side, staring at the people below.
Lu Xingcheng stood at the forefront of the team, looking ahead with a serious face.
It's an amazing feeling to be in the port of America in your own ship.
It cannot be said that Lu Xingcheng is narrow-minded, but at this time, under his indifferent and serious face, there is actually a heart that is about to explode.
Silence! This is the Silence, my ship! Look at my brother planting a flag on the port of the United States for a while!
Thousands of cameras are facing me, filming me, do you see it?
Lu Xingcheng cheered up after quietly refreshing himself in front of the camera.
Now they are the human-shaped background wall, and they can't desert.
This is the maiden voyage of the "Legendary Journey" of the Silence, and it is also the first appearance of the remodeled Silence. Everything after that will be exposed to the spotlight, and there can be no mistakes!
Otherwise, without Nanming crashing him, he could find a hemp rope and hang himself on the rear deck of the Silence.
After the transformation, the Silence made its maiden voyage, and there was also a small maiden voyage ceremony. The champagne hung by the rope was let go by Nan Ming himself, and it exploded on the hull with a snap. Some bigwigs from the U.S. Department of Transportation, some heavyweights Congressmen, celebrities, and socialites, in the red-carpeted corner of the port before the Silence, abruptly turned the Seattle port into the Avenue of Stars.
After the ceremony, a very small number of them, under the envious eyes of others, walked to the Silence and boarded the ship for a tour.
There are billions of people in this world, but at this moment, there are only forty guests who can board this ship, and even the journalists on board have worked hard to get their seats on board, otherwise they will Even journalists were not allowed on board.
But in this era of self-media, if you only need diffusion and popularity, you don't need reporters at all. These guests have just grown up and are obsessed with showing off their daughters on the Internet.
In the next three days or so, the Silence shuttled back and forth between the scenic spots requested by the guests. Every time it went to a place, it met a large number of people who greeted them spontaneously and lined the road. This legendary journey has almost developed into a global tourist attraction. a feast.
It even promoted the prosperity of tourism in these places, and countless people rushed to the place where the Silence would stop to see the heroic appearance of the Silence.
In this case, there is an attraction that is simply maxed out.
********* In the northeast, one hundred and sixty kilometers south of the Great Rift Valley in East Africa, there is a quiet active volcano called the Sail of the Grassland. The top of Africa is Mount Kilimanjaro .
At this time, the Silence had already bypassed Madagascar and was heading towards Mount Kilimanjaro. (To be continued.)
