Chapter Sixty-Nine: Anti-Lazy God Alliance
Nan Ming is not someone who likes to show off, so he entrusted Feng Tianyou to preside over the resumption ceremony of the Silence.
Following Feng Tianyou's order, the huge curtain covering the Silence was torn off, revealing the true face of the Silence.
Designed and manufactured in the Soviet era, this warship was shelved in Romania for more than ten years, was dragged out of the Romanian port by bullets in illegal means, and was finally washed by Nan Ming in the Philippines with great influence. There are many history and legends, and for a warship, sometimes the history itself is more important than the appearance.
At this time, the Silence, which opened the curtain, seems to have returned to its original state on the surface.
There is no huge propeller called "Thor's Hammer", and there is no various equipment installed later. Even the 3D printing devices fixed at the dismantled turret and missile launcher are all rounded. The hood is covered.
On the shell of the Silence, the paint surface is mottled, and it seems that it may peel off at any time, but if someone looks carefully, they will see that the so-called peeled paint surface is actually a visual effect made after re-spraying.
The extremely uniform matte gray, like a layer of protective color, covered up all the minions of the Silence.
Anyone, just looking at this ordinary appearance, would never have imagined that there is a huge electric power that can drive a city in the Silence, and a terrifying power that can fly across the sea.
Back to basics, this is the Silence now.
The moment Silence appeared, all the reporters frantically pressed the shutter. Silence is the real protagonist today. Compared with it, the production process of the previous powered exoskeleton, and even Ding Guocheng's inspection, are nothing. up.
At the beginning, the raging sea dragon across the China Sea attracted the attention of many people, and also triggered a series of huge earthquakes later, which made the entire academic world tremble.
There are not many people who are really lucky enough to be able to board the Silence, only a few dozens of people have boarded the deck of the Silence, and Ding Guocheng is among them.
After Ding Guocheng boarded this old warship, which was somewhat embarrassing, its legal status was officially recognized, which is also a kind of whitewashing.
In fact, Qingzhong Yang has been looking forward to this day for a long time. Being able to board the Silence can be said to be the dream of almost all soldiers nowadays.
This ship is almost the most perfect warship in the minds of all soldiers, with endless power, unparalleled speed, and the latest weapon system.
Of course, those who don't understand it don't know the terrifying combat power it hides.
But Qingzhong Yang knew.
Lanshen Technology has the strongest laser technology and 3D printing technology, any of which can be transformed into terrifying combat power. I am afraid that no attack in the world can break through its blockade.
Shi Buqing stood on the bow of the ship and saluted below.
He took over the command of the ship temporarily with his capable brothers.
After all, Ding Guocheng's identity is great, and Qing Zhongyang is not so bold to let him sit on the Silence driven by the group of mercenaries who were previously desperadoes.
Putting Shi Buqing on the Silence is also to facilitate him to command the future Luoshen, and it is always right to get familiar with the feeling of super high speed in advance.
In addition, Zhao Xiaopang also selected a group of lazy god security members from the navy to board the ship together to get acquainted with the Silence.
In fact, Nanming himself is so happy. Shi Buqing is a real person, and can be said to be one of the best and most promising captains in the country. Shi Buqing, who aspires to be the best captain, can't be invited here no matter how much money Yes, let him train the crew for himself, and Nanming still made money.
...
The Lanshen Shipyard is very lively, with gongs and drums blaring, full of festive atmosphere.
But at the same time, Raytheon Company on the other side of the earth is in a gloomy state.
The original dream of killing Lanshen Technology in one go and entering the powered exoskeleton market has been shattered, and what is left seems to be remnants all over the floor.
After dismissing the reporters who seemed to be specifically against him, Raytheon's land warrior project leader Ellis trudged back to his office and threw himself hard into the Embody ergonomic chair.
In the past, no matter how tired he was, sitting in his favorite chair always made Ellis feel comfortable and peaceful.
But today, Ellis was filled with intractable negative emotions.
Frustration, anger, fear...
No promotions, no bonuses, no vacations, no credits, no lakeside villas and private estates, everything is gone.
It seemed that everything he had paid before was just a bamboo basket to fetch water, all in vain.
At this time, Ellis didn't want to talk or do anything, just wanted to be alone and quiet.
But even this small wish was not fulfilled, and the phone on his desk rang, and Ellis let it ring until it went to the answering machine.
But the phone kept ringing over and over again, until Alice finally picked it up without getting tired of it.
"Who is it!" Didn't he know that he was annoyed now? It takes one's life to throw a rock into a well!
Anyone who dares to add insult to injury now, Ellis swears, he will eat this person alive.
"I, Elke." A calm voice came from the opposite side.
"Are you calling now to laugh at me?" Alice was about to go into a rage when he heard this voice.
The person who called was Tracy Elk, the world's largest arms dealer and the person in charge of the powered exoskeleton project of Lockheed Martin, the largest arms contractor in the United States.
Before Lanshen Technology was born, Ellis had been competing with him, and the relationship between the two was not very harmonious.
But now, Raytheon has not yet succeeded, and Elke called at this time, so it is naturally impossible to say good things.
"You misunderstood, in fact, I came to make a deal with you." Elke said.
"I'm not interested!" Ellis wanted to hang up the phone, but Elke said noncommittally, "Okay then."
As he spoke, he hung up the phone before Ellis.
Like a tiger trapped in a cage, Ellis walked around his office for five minutes, and finally couldn't help but call back: "What deal are you talking about?"
Elke obviously knew he would call back and was already waiting for the call.
"A mutually beneficial transaction for both parties." Elke said, "In the previous seven or eight years, we were all competitors, but you and I both know one thing. In fact, before Lanshen Technology launched the powered exoskeleton, we did not valued."
Elke is right, just like the technical characteristics that Lanshen Technology has always shown - black technology.
Powered exoskeletons are actually not a key research project of major arms companies. Although this project has a history of several decades, it has always been a marginal project due to the lack of basic science.
Before Lanshen Technology actually launched the powered exoskeleton, both Ellis and Elke were little transparent in their respective companies. Their annual research funding was only a few million U.S. dollars, and the cumulative investment was less than 100 million U.S. dollars. .
But after Lanshen Technology actually launched the powered exoskeleton, their research funding increased tenfold, and even they themselves rose to the top within their respective companies, becoming very popular figures.
"Now we have all achieved a position that matches our abilities, but if we can't hold on, all this will be fleeting." Elke said, "One thing, maybe you don't know, in fact Lockheed Martin The Talos (TALOS) 'Tactical Assault Light Workwear' was already commercialized half a month before the completion of 'Earth Warrior'."
"What?" Alice was taken aback. He always thought that the warrior of the land was ahead of Talos, but he didn't expect Elke to hold back.
If it was before, Ellis would definitely ask why, but now, after he became the first bird who was shot, he understood that Jiang is still old and hot, and Elke is much more cunning than him.
Talos is a powered exoskeleton that is heavier than the land warriors. Of course, they call it "Tactical Attack Light Workwear", abbreviated as Talos, which is the name of a bronze statue with life in Greek mythology.
The Talos system fits well with the name. It is more like a set of heavy armor, driven by an internal combustion engine, with an internal cooling system, and a life detection device...
Compared with the land warrior, it is more like a tank worn on the body.
There is no doubt that it has fewer applicable environments and more restrictions. Compared with the land warriors, it does not have much advantage, let alone compete with the powered exoskeleton of Lanshen Technology.
"I know that Raytheon has not solved the weight problem of the Land Warrior. You must know that Lockheed Martin has a strong technical reserve in lightweight and high-strength alloys...so, I can help you reduce the weight of the Land Warrior. Weight," Elk said.
Ellis didn't think this old fox would have such a good heart, he said: "You just said a deal, what do you want?"
"I heard that Raytheon has obtained some technical information about powered exoskeletons from Lanshen Technology. I want this information." Elke said.
"Why don't you die!" Alice almost swears.
That's right, the reason why Raytheon was able to develop a powered exoskeleton "Earth Warrior" that is almost comparable to Lazy God Technology at the fastest speed is because of this set of technical materials obtained before.
This set of information was originally stolen by Lao Qi from Lanshen Technology, and since Lanshen Technology was protected by Nanming's use authority, it is completely impossible to steal technology from Lanshen Technology.
How could its preciousness be compared to some metal formulas?
Even if there is no lightweight and high-strength alloy, the land warriors can still run on the land, but Talos can only be used as a bronze statue in the camp. What the two parties pay is completely unequal.
"You don't understand..." Elke was not annoyed, he smiled and said: "Our light alloy technology is just a little sincerity, what is really important is that as long as you provide us with the information in your hands, it is equivalent to If you join us, you can share all the technologies, such as... metal hydrogen."
"How is it possible? You want to steal technology from Lanshen Technology?" Alice was shocked?
Over the years, there have been countless people who want to steal Lanshen technology, and as a result, an organization called the Overseas Technology Monitoring Center has inexplicably started to grow.
"If you want to steal the technology of Lanshen Technology, you don't have to start with Lanshen Technology..." Elke said quietly, "If you don't believe it, just wait and see. Let your intelligence agencies keep their eyes open and pay attention to China ocean."
"Who are you?" Alice felt his heart pounding, as if he heard something terrible.
"Usually, we call ourselves the Anti-Lazy God Alliance." Elke said.
...
After the ceremony, only a handful of people were able to board the ship. The reporters were all taken to the aft deck, and only a few reporters were allowed to go to the front deck.
The Silence started almost silently, without roaring or trembling, only the slight sound of splashing water. It gradually left the pier and slowly sailed towards the sea.
There is no fixed route today, it is entirely up to Ding Guocheng to be happy.
Ding Guocheng felt the steady and surging power of the Silence, and felt a lot of emotion.
"I used to wonder why a private company that has just been established can produce such a powerful magnetic fluid propulsion device, but today, I don't find it strange anymore." Ding Guocheng said, and he asked Qingzhong Yang: "Luo Shen How is the progress of the experiment?"
"Fortunately, with the help of Lanshen Technology, the structural design and fluid dynamics simulation have been completed. This morning, it will be directly pulled from the Seventh Institute to the shipyard for assembly... Well, in terms of design and manufacturing, it is actually thanks to the Lanshen Shipyard ..." Qingzhong Yang scratched his head in embarrassment, and the only one who could manufacture the Luoshen before the end of the exercise was the Lanshen Shipyard.
The Seventh Institute was researching and tossing again, and there was such a farce where Wan scientific research snatched the results, but it turned out to be just a waste of time, and nothing could be done.
And Shi Buqing went to sea today, also with a training mission, after all, he will officially board the Luoshen in a few days.
"We should be at the shipyard now, maybe we can meet a ship transporting magnetic fluid propulsion devices." Feng Tianyou raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said.
"That's right...it's almost time." Qingzhong Yang also smiled, but he was a little embarrassed when he mentioned metal hydrogen and magnetic fluid propulsion devices. One thing he didn't say was that a sample of metallic hydrogen had been lost once.
When the deputy director discovered that the sample of metallic hydrogen was missing, Qingzhong Yang was the first person to suspect Wan Keke, and then he immediately mobilized all his strength to find Wan Keke, and then a very embarrassing thing happened. Even the metal hydrogen was swallowed by Wan Keke, and it seemed to be stuck in the stomach, unable to pull it out...
Now Wan Keke is locked in the confinement room of the Seventh Institute, and soldiers are sent to guard it. Qingzhong Yang decided to spend this time busy, so he invited experts to disembowel Wan Keke and take out samples of metal hydrogen.
Wan Keke can be regarded as self-inflicted and deserved to suffer.
Since it was said that it was possible to encounter a ship transporting a magnetic fluid propulsion device, everyone paid attention and looked at the nearby waters.
After a few minutes, Feng Tianyou frowned, contacted the people staying behind at Lanshen Shipyard, and said: "It's already five minutes late, and the person in charge of the escort hasn't gone yet."
Almost subconsciously, Nanming asked Qingzhong Yang: "Third brother, how many people did you send to escort? Are these people reliable?"
Qingzhong Yang's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "I asked the people from the fleet to arrange this matter, and the people from the Seventh Institute should also follow... Wait, I'll get in touch!"
Qingzhong Yang tried to contact the person in charge of the escort, but no one answered.
He has a feeling in his heart.
Something is wrong! (To be continued.)
