Volume 2 Chapter 6 The next step is to bluff

After Zhuang Bifan praised the success of his plan, he said: "We know that currency is very important to a civilization. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 We want this settlement currency to be unanimously recognized by all the different countries of the planet. As far as I know, there are at least 20 countries that do not use the US dollar for trade settlement at all, and nearly 100 countries accept the Chinese dollar as a trade currency. Therefore, although the US dollar is good, it cannot be determined that we will be the settlement currency for both of us. ā€

Minister Peng listened to Zhuang Bifan's words, and his heart was temporarily put down. If Aurora Island is really going to trade with humans, this settlement currency is very important. It can be said that if the currency of that country can become the settlement currency of this transaction with them, it will be able to occupy the earth.

Of course, he also hopes that Huaxia Yuan can become this settlement currency. But he knew in his heart that it was unlikely. Because since Aurora Island recognizes the importance of money, it is impossible for humans to have complete control. Moreover, the interest in issuing currency was so great that it was impossible for other countries to keep the Chinese Empire alone.

In Zhuang Bifan's low-key show-off, the convoy began to turn and go down. But the people in the car weren't worried.

Minister Peng asked Zhuang Bifan again: "Your Excellency, Commander, now we are going to visit the shipyard is underground?"

"Actually, the thickest part of the shell of our man-made island is only 200 meters, and everything else is empty. The shipyard is located near the edge of the platform. ā€

He paused, as if he didn't care, and said, "Although we are peace-loving, we are not sure whether the place where the trade war is established can always maintain peace." So we usually maintain some force. However, these forces are usually defensive. ā€

Minister Peng vomited in his heart: "Your military force is still defensive? Those warships can be compared to all the navies of many countries in terms of displacement." ā€

The convoy passed through quite a few forks in the tunnel. These underground passages, which are as wide as the national highways of the Chinese Empire, make Minister Peng have to believe that the interior of the artificial island that Zhuang Bifan just said is hollow.

It's just that if this huge artificial island is full of factories underneath, then he really can't imagine it.

After a few nights, the convoy finally came to a huge space.

In this interior space, which is more than 60 meters high, more than 1,000 meters wide and more than 3,000 meters long. There are three large dry docks. In the dockyard are twelve ships that far surpass the largest man-made mechanical bodies ever made by humans. Outwardly, these ships were battleships.

Looking at these battleships that were still under construction, Smith secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and without waiting for a translator, he directly asked Zhuang Bifan in Huaxia: "Your Excellency Commander, these are battleships." Although he judged it, he still couldn't believe it was true.

Zhuang Bifan nodded and said, "Yes." These are all ship-building tasks ordered by the headquarters before we teleported over. ā€

He turned his head to look at Smith and said, "Our cruise aircraft discovered the earth, a civilized planet, probably more than 60 revolutions ago, and brought back the information of the earth at that time. Our headquarters decided to establish a trading post in this system, and we predicted the development of human weapons and equipment on Earth during this time. At that time, the headquarters estimated that humans should have built surface warships with a length of more than 600 meters. In order to ensure the safety of the trading post, the headquarters designed these warships. The order from the headquarters was issued, and although we had made a mistake in our previous judgment, we had no choice but to continue building according to the order. ā€

"Doesn't that feel like a waste of resources?" Minister Peng couldn't help but ask.

Zhuang Bifan laughed in his heart, what he wanted was this shocking effect. In fact, there are dozens of shipyards on Aurora Island, but only a few are now in production, and all of them were half built before they came. It would have been a bit of a waste to stay in the slipways, so he decided to finish them. That's where it comes in.

Officials from various countries watched the various cranes of the shipyards lift various components weighing at least 10,000 tons, and at this speed of construction, they really could not imagine what role these shipyards would play in the event of war.

Those reporters kept taking pictures even more. Zhuang Bifan and the people in the shipyard did not stop them, and let them walk around the shipyard.

Minister Peng looked at it for a while, and felt astringent in his mouth. The Chinese Empire and the United States vied for control of the Pacific Ocean, and both navies were very powerful on Earth. But the largest warship carriers of the two countries have a displacement of just over 100,000 tons. And each of these three-eyed warships is probably two million tons. This one is equivalent to the displacement of half of their entire country's naval vessels. How can this make the two navies embarrassed?

If the gap between the two sides is not large, an arms race is still possible. But the technical gap between the two sides is too great. In the face of such technology, I am afraid that the quantity has no effect at all. What's more, is the number of battleships on Aurora Island still small?

However, he asked unwillingly: "Your Excellency, what type of warships are these warships?"

Zhuang Bifan said: "These warships are all integrated warships, and their main role is a missile launch platform, usually with 2,000 missile launch channels, and they are also equipped with large-caliber Gauss naval guns. Of course, there are also a number of multi-purpose aircraft with vertical take-off and landing. ā€

When Minister Peng heard it, it was completely a floating battle fortress. Such a battleship, according to the technology of the Three-Eyed Man, may be able to top the last aircraft carrier formation. In the footage monitored by satellites, there are at least 100 such warships on Aurora Island. Listening to the tone of the commander of the Three-Eyed Man, the number of such warships will continue to increase.

In the face of such a force, he felt that the Huaxia Empire had no ability to resist at all. Maybe humans can use superweapons, but he doesn't think that human superweapons can compare to the Three-Eyed Man. And even if a superweapon is used, only humans will be injured.

Zhuang Bifan peeked and saw that the faces of officials from various countries were different, but they were not good-looking on the whole. But it's right that it doesn't look good. In the future, he will be able to live in peace.

The British foreign minister approached Zhuang Bifan and asked him, "Your Excellency, commander, can you briefly introduce the parameters of these warships?"

Zhuang Bifan didn't know either, but he soon received a communication from the console in the helmet, and he read according to the script: "Of course you can." These warships were trimarans, with a waterline length of 868 meters for the main hull, a depth of 48 meters, and a width of 110 meters. The length of the auxiliary hull is 400 meters, and the width is 30 meters. The deck is one hundred and eighty meters wide at its widest point. The standard draft is eighteen meters, and the draft is twenty-eight meters at full load. The main armament is four twin 880mm Gauss guns, in addition to 2,800 missile universal launch modules, carrying 96 multi-purpose fighters. It is powered by three miniaturized nuclear fusion reactors, propelled by 17 vector nozzles, and has a maximum speed of 65 knots. ā€

There are many things he didn't say, such as radar, close defense, armor, and so on. But even if these are not clear, the British official knows that he will definitely not be sent there. Mankind has been studying the nuclear convergence and controllable technology that has made major breakthroughs for decades, and the Three-Eyed Man has successfully miniaturized and applied it to warships, so will the technology lag behind the earth in those aspects?

And these are just the technologies that are arbitrarily taken out to suppress the earth. But when you think about it, you understand. How can a civilization that can send such a huge artificial island to the earth overnight, but does not cause natural disasters, has a low level of technology?

They asked Zhuang Bifan a lot of questions, and everything that Zhuang Bifan could answer simply came back. Anyway, it's all about showing off - although he keeps a low profile. But the more low-key he is, the more unsure these earthlings will be that the Three-Eyed Civilization will surpass the Earth, and the more bottomless they will become.

After spending about an hour in the shipyard, he took them to the aircraft production line again, and showed them everything from engine production to assembly.

The aircraft production line on Aurora Island produces not only combat aircraft, but also various civilian aircraft. The planes are fully assembled by mechanical robots, and there is not a single worker in sight of the entire production line. Extremely fast production efficiency.

According to Zhuang Bifan, "Under normal circumstances, such a factory can produce three fighter jets and one large passenger plane a day. Extreme cases can double production. ā€

He added: "There are about fifty-five such factories. ā€

The combat aircraft produced by this factory can be seen from the appearance of stealth aircraft. These officials have heard that the escort planes were at a distance visible to the naked eye, and the radar of the passenger planes did not respond at all. With that kind of stealth performance, if there is enough ammunition, one of the ten planes against the earth is probably no problem.

Moreover, so many factories, if the production capacity is fully opened, there are more than 300 fighters a day. This production efficiency may be comparable to that of the entire earth combined. And I'm afraid it's no problem to set up hundreds of production lines in the space of this artificial island.

Finally, Zhuang Bifan took them to visit the defense master control room in an area.

"This main control room is responsible for the defense of one of the twenty-eight areas of Aurora Island. The entire defense system includes more than 100 Gauss guns with a caliber of 800 mm, with a range of up to 400 kilometers, 640 high-power laser launchers, mainly used to intercept aircraft within 100 kilometers of Aurora Island, as well as various defense and attack missiles. In addition, there are kinetic close-in defense weapons. ā€

Hearing this, the visitor door is no longer too exaggerated. There was no idea among them that they could fight with Aurora Island. So it no longer matters whether this main control room controls defense or offense.

On the contrary, there are some large single-person half-length photos hanging on the wall of the main control room facing the main door, which attracts attention. The person on it is like a three-dimensional image, looking like a specimen.

Smith looked at the man above as if he was wearing a piece of armor on his head, covering his forehead, and had a puffed eye in the middle. There are no eyebrows on the face, high cheekbones, and a pointed chin. The skin is a little dark. He asked, "Your Excellency, what's on the picture here?"

Zhuang Bifan didn't actually know those three-eyed people, but it was he who asked the spaceship brain to get out the photos of the former commander. He hung these things on it, of course, for a purpose. He suddenly gave the portrait a chest salute and explained in a very respectful tone: "This is our esteemed leader, Your Excellency the Commander, on his left is His Excellency our Chancellor, and on his right is His Excellency the Archon of our Three-Eyed Civilization. ā€

Look at their expressions of "so you are such three-eyed people". Zhuang Bifan laughed in his heart. Let them misunderstand that it is this dignity that he peeps into, which is his purpose.

After visiting all the programs he had arranged, he sent people to dinner and then to rest.
