Chapter One Hundred and Five

Humanity is living a hard life - especially in the underdeveloped countries, whose economies have almost collapsed without maritime trade routes, and no one has suffered more than in the African countries, where the Great Famine is once again taking place. There is no way to compare with sea transportation by air www.biquge.info only those countries that are working seriously and working hard can still maintain their national organization by relying on railway lines.

The loss of sea routes will also hit the world's large trading countries quite seriously, and the volume of railways is difficult to compare with that of sea transportation, which also means the collapse of the shipbuilding industry, especially the civil shipbuilding industry. The warship and shipbuilding industry has ushered in a spring -- in order to counter these deep-sea dwellers, the responsible powers need more warships, and the expensive and complex warships built in the past to fight high-tech enemies have all retreated to the same level as World War II.

Thin-skinned ships can no longer be mixed, and tens of thousands of tons of warships with such a turret design have also been thrown into the trash can -- in front of the deep-sea Qiji, which is difficult to detect and lock, large anti-ship missiles are a joke, and in the face of numerical superiority, high-priced missiles are also a big joke, and anti-aircraft missiles are not worth the losses in the face of a flying chrysanthemum beast that is no more than three meters, and it is not as powerful as a phalanx.

Therefore, the newly designed ship is closer to the level of World War II, after obtaining better optical and radar detection capabilities, multiple turrets for computer-aided calculation of trajectories have also become standard, heavy armor can resist the fire of those deep-sea habitats, better automation effectively reduces the manpower on the ship, and can very effectively reduce the deck manpower, and protect the vast majority of the crew in the armored box. Computer-aided, programmable artillery has once again become the protagonist of naval warfare.

At the same time, the technology of the deep sea is also being analyzed, but unfortunately it is inferior to those anti-gravity machines, and there is no clue at all. The composition of the Deep Sea Habitat Ji is not the same as that of the Kaiju Beasts in the past, and their so-called space shields can't figure out the principle at all, so they can only say that they slowly get ideas from the data collected in the past from the undersea space gates to analyze. Whether it is the mainland or the United States, they have specimens of deep-sea dwelling in their hands, so their research process is the fastest, and they also have money.

There was a more advanced version of the hovership, and after investing at any cost, both powers were rapidly developing their own technology, and more or less, they also lifted a veil of anti-gravity technology, in a sense, it was the beginning of a completely new knowledge of physics. From this point on, many types of exploratory hoverships began to be built - and as long as an ambitious power made the decision, it would not stop them in the slightest, even if they were not cheap to build and most of them were likely to be useless.

Although Maozi is ambitious now, he does not have the power, so he can only watch the other two great powers gradually throw it away. In this competition, there are only two and a half countries that are eligible to participate, and Europe is now disqualified from competing for hegemony, even as a whole. In terms of trying different directions, this time it was the mainland that was ahead of the Americans -- the confidence of being the world's largest industrial country made them try multiple plans in every direction, and at least 20 or more suspended warships were started at the same time -- and after stopping the subsequent procurement of naval warships, they now have enough budget to do this.

This time, the levitating anti-gravity device has been miniaturized to a certain extent, so that in the design of ships with a displacement of 5,000 tons, there is more space to carry weapons and equipment. Under the control of high-strength steel, the dead weight is limited to about 1,500 tons, and after the necessary reactor and anti-gravity generator are installed, the dead weight reaches 2,500 tons. And then with the addition of armor and firepower, at least it can be regarded as a battleship with a certain combat effectiveness.

This is just one of them, and these warships have basically been dropped on the battlefield against the deep sea inhabitants, fighting hordes of silicon-based dolls in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The hovership has done away with torpedoes, the powerful weapons of the deep-sea people, and is no less maneuverable than the average destroyer-class deep-sea - they can easily reach speeds of up to a hundred knots when air resistance is taken into account, which is faster than any ship, and naturally faster than the deep sea.

The artillery battle with the deep sea is still fruitful, and the real 155 mm cannon of mankind is much stronger in armor-piercing power and rate of fire than the destroyer and cruiser class of the deep sea. With the automatic loader, the rate of fire of the 155 gun is no different from that of the open hanger, although it is a single tube, but it can shoot 45 rounds in one minute...... This makes the low-level deep-sea inhabitants very powerless, they have no shields, and after being targeted by a computer, with a predicted course of shooting, the human hovership is not much different from hitting the target, basically can be hit by three shells.....

The same design improvements have also been applied to surface ships such as destroyers, and although the hull structure cannot be significantly changed, at least these ships can be used to play some role. Both powers have decided to drastically reduce the construction of conventional surface ships in future arms procurement projects, tilting their budgets towards hovering warships.

The struggle of human beings can be regarded as a small help to the sea dragon. The sea dragon, which has formed a carbon-based metal plate, is now in a state of hibernation, absorbing metal and organic components on the seabed and growing up, and has now grown into a curved 50-meter-long and narrow board, and from both sides it has grown a metal structure like a narrow rib.

The little brother tiger fish is also average, this metal fish is lying on its side on the bottom of the sea, even the gills do not move, and bubbles continue to bubble on its body, and the same tiger fish has become a monster close to twenty meters long, but unlike Hong Long, it does not have too many breeding creatures on its body. These strange structures grow rapidly, and as the surface area grows larger, so does the rate.

This growth is like a bone, first growing a reticulated support structure, and then quickly growing into the voids within it, although it is in a hibernation-like form, the sea dragon can still feel that the nanocell-producing organs in his body seem to be multiplying themselves, constantly swallowing more organic matter and metals, creating more nanocells. These nanocells are constantly flowing through some kind of organic liquid in tiny pores all over the metal structure, transporting them to where they are needed.
