Chapter 338: National Plans, Brand New Battleships
It was a historic day.
The first batch of energy weapons on earth were officially put into service in the Chinese Army, and military leaders around the world attached great importance to it, because it was a dividing point of the era.
The Pentagon of the United States met all night, and every top brass of the military and the White House could not sleep.
This indicates that China's armament in the army can be said to rank first in the world, and as long as China's rearmament reaches one-third, the US army will not be able to confront it at all!
As you can imagine!
An army unit with a rifle can wreck a tank, shoot down an airplane, and that's a terrible sight.
Dyson personally convened a meeting to discuss countermeasures, and the logistics department took a few weapons samples from several large arms companies in the United States, regardless of whether their weapons can catch up with the rifles of the magic energy military industry, the US Army must be ready to change equipment, otherwise it will not be comparable to China's weapons at all.
Even if it is not as good as the rifle of the magic energy military industry, it must be pretended, otherwise other countries will think that the United States has no choice.
"General Dyson, this is a laser cannon from Lockheed that can be mounted on an airplane."
The logistics staff turned on the computer, and a fighter plane appeared on it, with two more peculiar launchers on both sides of the wings, that is, laser launchers, and the animation effect looked very cool!
If it weren't for Wang Xiao's birth and bringing a powerful energy weapon system to the earth, then the United States' laser weapons may become a conventional weapon of the army in the next ten years, and the United States will be truly invincible in the military field.
The Ford-class aircraft carrier, which will be commissioned in more than a month by the United States, has been loaded with powerful laser cannons, improving the defense and offensive capabilities of the world's most powerful aircraft carrier.
Lockheed Martin is the largest arms company in the United States, mainly producing aircraft and aerospace equipment, with annual arms sales of more than $30 billion, reaching $50 billion a year at its peak, and is also the world's largest arms company.
A large arms company of this level naturally has the most cutting-edge military science and technology.
Laser cannons are one of them.
Dyson looked at the laser cannon without much excitement, because compared to the energy cannon of the magic energy industry, it was simply weak and not worth mentioning.
However, it does belong to the category of energy weapons.
He asked solemnly, "How many specific parameters?" ”
A hint of embarrassment flashed in the logistics staff's eyes, and they replied, "They have adopted the energy unit standard issued by the Magic Energy Military Industry, because this is the only industry standard in the world. According to this standard, the attack strength of this laser cannon is equivalent to five energy units, and with stability ensured, there can be a storage capacity of five hundred energy units! ”
Another middle-aged officer immediately asked, "That is, this laser cannon is only a little stronger than the magic rifle that China has already served?" Can only shoot a hundred times? ”
The logistics staff nodded awkwardly: "Yes, that's true." Compared with China's magic energy military industry, our energy weapons are still in their infancy, and this kind of laser weapon mounted on the aircraft can only be done to this extent at this stage to ensure safety and lightness! ”
The minimum shot of the Magic Energy Military's energy cannon has the strength of one hundred energy units, and the difference in power between the two is twenty times. That is basically the same gap between the current weapons of the United States and the weapons of the World War II era, that is, there is no comparison, not at the same level!
There was a quiet pause in the meeting room.
Everyone's hearts are a little uncomfortable!
Is this the most advanced technology they have at their disposal?
It's just unbearable!
The mighty United States is now so far behind its opponents?
Dyson asked in a deep voice, "What about the laser gun?" How likely is it that mass production will be widespread? ”
The logistics staff still looked embarrassed and said: "At present, there is no possibility, the laser gun should be the size of a rifle, the laser source is not aggressive enough, the laser is not condensed enough, and the atmosphere is unstable, so it will not be mass-produced in five years, and it is initially expected to take five to ten years!" ”
A general on the army side said in a deep voice: "In other words, we are going to use ordinary physical rifles to fight against Chinese-made magic energy rifles in five years?" ”
Dyson asked the key: "It will take five years to mass-produce laser rifles, but have you ever thought about what weapons will the magic energy military industry be able to make in five years?" ”
The conference room was quiet again, and it was somewhat unpredictable to think about the actions of that tech madman in China.
Each and every one of them has been living under tremendous stress lately.
The United States, which has been accustomed to being the world hegemon for decades, is suddenly surpassed by China in terms of military technology, and the feeling is as if it has fallen from a height of more than a dozen floors, and the fall is very miserable.
They could not accept this strong contrast.
Of course, China has only now begun to change its outfit, and it stands to reason that it will be good if it can complete the redress and form combat effectiveness within five years. Five years later, even if the Magic Energy Military Industry created a more advanced weapon, it would not be possible to mass-produce it again to change the outfit.
This is the case in any country in the world, every popular weapon has been in service for at least ten years, so as to reduce defense spending, such as the AK rifle made in the Soviet Union in the fifties, which is still used as a mainstream weapon in some small African countries.
Otherwise, even the United States' annual defense spending of up to $600 billion will not be able to support frequent redressing. After the popularization of each weapon, there is also a production line, as well as the upstream and downstream industrial chains, and post-maintenance equipment, etc., which is a huge chain, not just the weapon itself.
Of course, if it is a state of war, then it must be what is advanced and what is used, and the principle of striking the enemy is the highest priority!
After a long silence in the conference room, Dyson spoke, "Alright, that's all for today's meeting." Let the laboratories of several major arms companies cooperate with our national laboratories to produce results together as soon as possible. Otherwise, we in the United States simply do not have the confidence to go to war in the Gulf. If there is no war, the result will be that we will be slowly overtaken by China, and then we will reduce our sphere of activity to the Americas and Europe! ”
"At that time, the world will become Chinese!"
It was a result that everyone present could have imagined.
So, without Dyson saying anything, they all have a huge sense of urgency, even if there is no war now, but they are in the same state as when they were fighting, and they are extremely nervous all the time.
At the same time as the meeting of the Pentagon of the United States, the Japanese Ministry of Defense also held a high-level meeting.
This time.
The meeting of the Japanese Ministry of Defense was very lively, and all the top leaders of the navy, army, and air force were present, because Japan will comprehensively enhance its military strength and develop all kinds of advanced weapons, so in the future, Japan's three armed forces will greatly enhance their combat effectiveness, especially the air force and army have more room for improvement.
Faced with the entry into service of energy weapons in China, the Japanese Ministry of Defense quickly made a decision!
That is, they will increase investment in the navy and suppress the shortcomings of the Chinese navy.
Now they have purchased the retired American aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk, which is the world's largest conventionally powered aircraft carrier and about the same size as the Nimitz aircraft carrier in active service.
Plus they will buy the Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers that the United States is about to retire in two months!
When the time comes, when they arm these two aircraft carriers, Japan's naval strength will directly become the third in the world, second only to the United States and Russia, and far more than China.
General Nakamura said solemnly: "Ladies and gentlemen, if we want to survive in Asia, we must suppress China. Now the Chinese Navy has not yet begun to develop. Therefore, I decided to immediately continue to send an additional fleet to the waters of Diaolong Island to contain the Chinese fleet, increase the number of residents on Diaolong Island, and achieve substantial occupation! ”
Admiral Yamamoto of the Navy affirmed: "Yes, Mr. Nakamura, we are already doing it. ”
Now, on the small island of Diaolong, they have sent thousands of people to the island, built more than 100 houses, and every day there will be a transport ship to the island to deliver daily necessities to these people.
Although the so-called occupation was nominally a Japanese civilian action, in fact it was planned by the military and escorted by a fleet, but all expenses were supported by several major Japanese families, and the thousands of people living on the island could not only get free living resources, but also receive a lot of wages every day.
The Chinese side only protested against this, and it seems that as usual, the voices of the domestic people are also unanimously crusading against Japan, but under the official constraints, everyone has not taken substantive action!
The next day.
Japan sent another fleet in the waters near Diaoyu Long Island to confront the Chinese fleet and determine to keep the Chinese fleet out of Diaoyu Long Island.
But.
In a dock of the Chinese Navy, a world-changing event is happening at this moment.
Nearly a month down.
Wang Xiao's refit of the navy's main warship was nearing completion, and more than a dozen naval experts accompanied him throughout the process. At the same time, all the general staff and navy high-ranking officials will come every three days to check the progress and ask Wang Xiao about his needs, as long as he wants, then the above will meet Wang Xiao with the strength of the whole country!
However, Wang Xiao did not make any more requests after that, and all the materials were prepared at the beginning.
The rest of the time is a process of constantly refining materials and integrating them into this battleship.
Fortunately, after a month, there were no accidents, everything was under Wang Xiao's control, the modification of this battleship was about to be completed, and the final steps remained.
The old chief of the General Staff also came again in person.
Looking at the battleship suspended in a halo, the old chief was habitually in a daze again.
The battleship, which had a displacement of more than 20,000 tons, was completely suspended and floated in the air, surrounded by a mass of energy flowing, enveloping the entire battleship.
Compared with a month ago, this battleship has naturally not changed much in terms of volume, but it has changed a lot in shape and color, and if it is not for the fact that he has come to see it every few days, the old chief will think that this is another battleship.
The appearance of the entire battleship has changed from white to black, and a new material is used on the surface, and if you look closely, you can see that the entire battleship is densely covered with very regular patterns, and there is occasionally a trace of halo circulating in the pattern, and it seems that there is still energy circulating in it!
The deck of the battleship is also paved with black material, which is also densely covered with lines, and two energy cannons are erected at both ends of the head and tail, each energy cannon has a full energy source, attacking within a straight radius of the spherical surface covering the entire earth's surface for half a catty.
At the same time, in the center of the deck, there is a large military energy container, which is ten meters in diameter, suspended in the air, and one by one energy is transmitted to the deck, through the energy lines on the deck, it is transmitted throughout the entire battleship, and with the surrounding devices, the battleship can be suspended!
The old chief took a closer look at the battleship full of science fiction and magic, and there was still some unreal feeling.
Every time he left, he would ask himself again and again, is this true?
Then, in two days, he would come back again and take another look, make sure the situation, make sure it was really happening!
The entire dockyard was already under martial law, and no idlers were allowed to approach within a radius of fifty meters of the battleship.
At this moment, the old chief looked left and right, but did not see Wang Xiao and those experts, so he asked a soldier, "What about Professor Wang?" ”
The soldier replied: "Yesterday, Professor Wang and the experts went to the battleship, and they haven't come out yet!" ”
"Are you going to modify the inside?"
The old chief asked to himself, and then walked over quickly!
When he came to the entrance that flashed with an energy halo, he directly entered the interior of the battleship, only to see that the energy halo was also circulating everywhere inside, which was very psychedelic.
Walking through the corridor, the old chief came to the location of the engine compartment, and saw Wang Xiao and more than a dozen experts busy here.
The original engine of the battleship has been dismantled, and there are parts everywhere.
Wang Xiao is putting the delicate devices into the place where the engine is located, and reinstalling the new engine of his own design.
And this new engine, in fact, is a kinetic energy conversion device driven by the energy source of the top deck, which can increase the kinetic energy speed of the lotus leaf to a higher level, thereby improving the more powerful sports ability!
"Put this here, put it according to the gear notch, don't misplace!"
"This line is connected over there."
"And here, take it all out......"
"That switch is on, yes, it's the ......"
Wang Xiao was busy on his own, and at the same time he was also commanding others.
The old chief stood quietly at the door, watching the scene. (To be continued.) )
