Chapter 764: Appearance
In the port of Seattle, the Silence rests quietly on the dock.
Countless reporters pressed the shutter desperately below.
The crowd of onlookers almost paralyzed the entire dock, pointing and pointing, shocked by the amazing change in the Silence.
In fact, if it weren't for the huge "Silence" written on it, I'm afraid no one would have thought that it was the Silence.
This old ship from the Soviet era, after many refits, is probably the only connection with the previous one, which is the unique gray mottled paint of the hull, showing a sense of historical heaviness.
But other than that, the whole Silence is simply reborn.
Standing in front of the Silence, the first thing I felt was that the Silence was parked in the harbor, which seemed much taller than before.
Because of its lightweight, the waterline of the Silence is much shallower than before, allowing the hull that was mostly not underwater to surface.
And the change in appearance is even more striking.
It's like having a giant hand, holding the Silence in his hand and kneading it gently, turning the cold and hard refined steel into a finger twist, pinching the cut corners of the bow, sharper and smoother, and pinching the cold and hard deck lines into a smooth arc, the bow is slightly cocked, and the stern is retracted to the waterline, the lower part of the whole ship, like the curly lotus leaves that have just stretched out of the water in early summer, the metallic gray mottled coating, and the light and smooth lines like sharp lotus leaves, delicate and cold, full of strong visual impact.
Above the hull, the chaotic, cold, hard, and abrupt bridge, armament, and various radar equipment of the old Maozi warship were almost all removed, and turned into a smooth four-layer deck, with a white bottom and silver-gray trim, shining in the sun, like a beautiful palace wrapped in metal lotus leaves.
The hull is close to the tail third, and the two hydrofoils extend diagonally into the water, which is a design that has been had when the Silence captured the Sea Dragon class last time, but at this time the two hydrofoils and the hull are more harmonious, and when viewed from the side and rear, the Silence looks like a huge waterfowl with low 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 superyacht, and everyone who saw such a Silence couldn't help but think about a question.
The problem of the ship of Theseus.
Transformed into such a Silence, is it still a Silence?
If not, what can be said about those ships that have been in service for more than a hundred years and have undergone countless transformations?
If so, how much of the original Silence's lineage does it have?
What will become of the Silence in a few years?
However, for the lazy gods, there is no such problem, because no matter how it changes, there is one thing that cannot be changed, that is, the core of the Silence, which is the only nuclear fusion reactor in the world, and the enhanced sonar system on the Silence is also unique, and 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, and the biggest benefit of this legendary trip to Nanming is that the Silence has been given the right to legally stay in the United States, which is not difficult at all for other ships, but it is much more difficult for the Silence, because the Silence is strictly an armed ship with strong 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, and it no longer has the aggressive appearance of the original warship.
After taking care of the Esragon family, Nanming's influence has reached its peak, and Lao Ma's elderly version of the "Avengers" has expanded to dozens of people, each of whom is a big man with great influence in their respective fields.
Although these people kept silent about what happened to them before, they also knew that there was a magical power in this world, and in this world, there was another person called the "Great Demon King of the Southern Underworld".
On the side of the Silence, a group of crew members in snow-white uniforms, standing side by side with their hands in their hands, saluted intently.
Lu Xingcheng stood at the front of the team, looking ahead with a serious face.
It's a great feeling to be on your own ship and swagger into an American port.
It can't 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 burst.
Silence! This is the Silence, my ship! Look at my brother planting a flag in an American port!
Thousands of cameras are pointing at me, filming me, do you see?
quietly refreshed himself to the camera, and Lu Xingcheng hurriedly cheered up.
Now they're humanoid backdrops, and they can't be deserted.
This is the maiden voyage of the Silence's "Legendary Journey", and it is also the first appearance of the Silence after the transformation, and everything after that will be exposed to the spotlight without the slightest mistake!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to collapse him, he would have found a hemp rope and hung himself on the back deck of the Silence.
After the transformation, the maiden voyage of the Silence, and a small maiden ceremony, the champagne that was hung by the rope was let go by Nan Ming's own hand, and exploded on the hull with a snap, some bigwigs of the US Department of Transportation, some heavyweight congressmen, celebrities, and celebrities, in the corner of the red carpet paved in the port before the Silence, made the Seattle port into a walk of fame.
After the ceremony, a very small number of them, under the envious gaze of others, walked to the Silence and boarded the ship.
In this world, there are billions of people, but at this moment, there are only 40 guests who can board this ship, and even the reporters who accompany the ship have worked hard to get a quota on the ship, otherwise even the reporters will not be allowed to board the ship.
But in this era of self-media, if you just need diffusion and popularity, you don't need reporters at all, these guests have just come of age, and it is enough to be obsessed with showing off their daughters on the Internet.
For the next three days or so, the Silence shuttled back and forth between the attractions requested by the guests, and everywhere it went, it was met with a large number of spontaneous greetings and crowds, and this legendary journey has developed into a feast for the whole world.
It even promoted the tourism boom in these locations, and countless people hurried to the places where the Silence was going to stop to see the heroism of the Silence.
In this case, there is an attraction that is simply overwhelmed.
In the northeast, 160 kilometers south of the Great Rift Valley, there is a silent active volcano known as the Sail of the Grasslands, the top of Africa, which is Mount Kilimanjaro.
By this time, the Silence had already rounded the island of Madagascar and was heading in the direction of Mount Kilimanjaro. (To be continued.) )
