Chapter 524: Strategic Alliance
After the ground and air parade, the military parade in Moncalieri came to an end, and at the end there was a gun salute, which was carried out by the warships in the military port of Cagliari, which were launched into the sky, and the two warships made a total of ten shots to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Queen's accession to the throne.
There are programs on this side of the harbor, and there are also tourists coming and going.
In addition to their interest in the Army and Air Force, foreign journalists are also keen on the unconventional design of the Royal Shipyards of Cagliari โ their warships feel like ...... Submarine. The surface of the water is usually only about one meter, and the gray-white body is easy to ignore if you don't turn on the navigation lights.
There were two lazy ships moored in the military port, which remained motionless during the military parade in Moncalieri, but it was clear to foreign journalists and residents that they were nuclear-powered cruisers, with a displacement of about 10,000 tons, and often showed a small section or sank in the water.
According to the official number, its power system is a magnetofluid propulsion, which does not use conventional propellers or water jet propulsion, but two superconducting parallel guide rails, and the magnetic field generated after the electricity is applied to propel the seawater. In the submersible state, the maximum speed reaches 130 knots, and the maximum speed is 100 knots when the sea is exposed.
At present, the maximum speed of the Ford-class aircraft carrier in the United States is about 40 knots, and the destroyers of the aircraft carrier fleet are about 45 knots, and the concept of 130 knots against the sky (about 240 kilometers per hour), the fastest torpedoes cannot catch up, and it feels like an F1 motorboat.
This also explains why the cruiser is hidden in the water, revealing only a small section. If it is all on the surface of the sea, the wind resistance is too great, and it is difficult to reach such a high speed, so it is designed in a sharp knife shape to facilitate the breaking of the sea water in front of you when accelerating forward.
But neither 100 knots on the surface nor the faster speed at the bottom of the water can withstand for a long time. Sailing on the sea is different from that on land, and the speed of the warship at 40 knots is already very bumpy, and if it is more than doubled, it is estimated that all the people will vomit and enjoy the journey.
So both cruisers are operated by machines, with internal tracks, and one unit has multiple arms. Without a cumbersome body, it can maintain warships and detect faults more efficiently than humans. There is no such thing as "physical discomfort".
In terms of weaponry, the official announcement is relatively simple, it is equipped with a 128-unit vertical hair system, which can use missiles of different specifications and is compatible with some mainstream NATO models; It is equipped with three electromagnetic cannons, a deadlight cannon, and an electromagnetic interference system.
The outside world said. This thing is used with the XF-5 Aerospace Fighter - which is also difficult to keep up with.
This was the first time that the weapons of the house were revealed, and after the military parade in Moncalieri, the two battleships surfaced about a meter or so, and the front hull was split on both sides, raising a silver-white triangular barrel, which was undoubtedly designed to be radar-stealthy.
The barrel of the cannon was raised high, and with the impact of electricity, two salutes flew into the air at supersonic speed. Booming explosion, a second salvo two seconds later...... Foreign journalists and spies have been pressing the shutter. Hoping for more information, but after five volleys, the battleship dived underwater and left in a low-key manner.

This concludes the Queen's accession to the throne commemorative parade.
There are not as many projects on display as last year, but they are all elite and leading the world. Whether it is the ground forces or the air, or the mysterious seabed, it is unique. While some American media outlets are declining, Europe is uncharacteristically bullish.
Cause...... They handed over the order.
NATO's European members and North American members gradually diverge in values, first in their ambiguous attitude toward Sardinia. Later, after more cooperation, they were already protecting them, and even inviting Sardinia to join NATO - but they were not very interested.
In fact, the European powers with ideas do not want to be the little brother of the United States in NATO all the time, so there were only a few symbolic invitations, and then there was no follow-up. At present, France is eager to ask for technology from Sardinia, and they are very envious of China, which buys technology at a high price.
France can also make a high price, but they intend to barter.
Since the last unofficial visit to Wรจn did not make effective progress, things have shifted to the bright side, and the leaders of the two sides have held several conference calls to discuss strategic cooperation and territorial issues, and then to discuss the development of resources on the moon, hoping to catch the last train.
Facts have proved that this is as bad as Anfeng's use of the super grid to hang his appetite many years ago.
Super Grid ...... Finally, while Sardinia flaunted its inexhaustible electricity, Italy stuck out its tongue and circled around, other countries followed suit. For the sake of Europe's future energy supply, the multinational group sits down and negotiates...... The result made An Feng very satisfied.
The last part of the super grid ended in June last year, and this contribution is a very large tax contribution, and the government of Sardinia, thanks to the royal family, will be able to collect taxes on European electricity bills for a long time to come - because the electricity bill is collected by the royal family, about 30%.
An Feng's appetite now is that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry, and he will be launched again next year, and it is estimated that he will have to usher in a period of rest in the future. At present, all countries that have the ability are racing against time, and France is not far behind, although it does not belong to itself, but it is comfortable to ride.
Countries discuss interests from country to country, and An Feng occasionally cares. At present, he does not see the result he wants, and the answer is always no, even if Congress agrees, it is useless, and if the queen does not sign the bill, the bill cannot take effect. So he was relieved to discuss some ...... with Fred Science.
Fred admired his father and always had a unique academic opinion. Today, he is concerned with the question of energy and space travel: "If you want to travel longer distances and break through the solar system, can you completely replace nuclear energy if you want to travel longer distances?" โ
An Feng said: "Isn't it an exploration plane? The electricity generated by a nuclear reaction can accelerate charged particles, eject them and propel them forward, but it is suitable for gravity-free space, and if you want to try it on the ground, you need a very large vehicle that can accommodate a reactor. โ
Fred asked, "Is there anything more energetic besides it?" โ
"Antimatter, the energy generated by its reactions, can restrain charged particles from being ejected at ultra-high speeds, allowing interstellar vehicles to gain thrust. You know, very little mass disappears in a nuclear reaction, and according to the mass-energy equation, that much less than 1% of the mass can be converted into a huge amount of energy -- far more than any chemical energy of human beings. Antimatter annihilation can reach 100%, which is the ultimate energy source. โ
"Can you do it?"
An Feng smiled: "Maybe, there may be a chance to try it in the future, why do you suddenly care about this?" โ
"I think aerospace planes should be stronger except for fusion propulsion," Fred said. โ
"That thing should probably be called a 'spaceship,' kid." An Feng stood up, "It's not too early, we should go back and report to your mother." โ
In fact, the spaceship that An Feng imagined, Hal is already designing.
It's just that he is still interested in the stage, and he wants to see the renderings first, as for when it will be developed, it is unknown.
Riding back home, Prime Minister Mancini and an assistant walked out of the door, he greeted An Feng a few times, and then left in a hurry.
An Feng walked into the house, saw Joanna, and asked, "Is he going to eat in a hurry?" โ
Joanna smiled: "He doesn't have that leisure, there have been a lot of things recently, and many countries want to conclude strategic alliances with us to develop the moon." โ
"What's going on this time?" An Feng asked.
"Let's go for a walk in the back." Joanna said that An Feng and she went for a walk in the back garden. "France had discussed with us before, and we thought that if France did it alone, it might be pressured by other countries, so France brought someone else," she said. โ
"That's smart." An Feng said that he did not think that France would be able to solve the problem of developing lunar land with Sardinia alone from the beginning.
"They called Germany and Britain to plan to form a strategic alliance on the moon, with our side as an attachment, to develop our demarcated area, because they do not have strong enough ground technology at the moment, and we will provide them with technical support and protection for a period of time in the future."
An Feng applauded: "Yes, if I also use this method." โ
It is too difficult for several European powers to land on the moon and open up land on their own, and the choice of more than 10 million square kilometers demarcated by Sardinia, just around the area where they are recognized, can also be taken care of, and at the same time, the land is also implemented, and it is no longer monopolized.
Joanna frowned: "Don't just say good, what about your opinion?" โ
An Feng only cares about one thing: "What kind of price can they give?" There is no good thing in the world to give up the land in vain and help them take care of their homes for free. โ
"France intends to exchange Corsica for the other two, as well as for the maintenance costs, as well as cooperation in strategic technologies on the planet, to form a conservation agreement," Joanna said. โ
"How big do they want to be?"
"The range we can take care of, about 1 million square kilometers, and the second construction base is just able to radiate that range."
"You can think about it." An Feng nodded. To be honest, he didn't plan to be able to occupy much lunar land, and he was already satisfied with more than a million, and the resources there were enough to use for tens of thousands of years...... As for 10,000 years from now, it is unknown whether there will be human beings, and they still care about these?
Selling the land that belongs to Sardinia but is not recognized by everyone - with the land of Corsica, the maintenance of the two foreign countries, and the alliance of the earth - they are talking about cooperation in the name of helping you resist the pressure of the United States and the world, and they are playing well.
Actually, it's also acceptable, after all, strictly speaking, that place is not his.
Joanna said: "Mancini asked me just now, the other party is full of sincerity, what should we do? โ
An Feng replied: "Let's start negotiations, but more detailed provisions are needed, and if appropriate, the territory of Sardinia will be expanded in the future." (To be continued......)
