In front of Zhang Lan was a huge steel enclosed dock. The entire enclosed shipyard. With a length of more than 150 meters and a width of more than 80 meters, it feels like it is not a problem to start construction of two submarines at the same time.

The enclosed, openable upper canopy makes it doubtful that this massive dockyard is not used to build the nation's ultimate weapon: ballistic missile nuclear submarines.

That's right, many people do have this doubt in their hearts, thinking that this highly secret all-steel enclosed dock is used to build submarines, but in fact of course it is not. Many people above have hit the idea of this dock, but they were all said by Jill, "This is our president's own technology research and development base, there is a problem, which of you can afford to be responsible?" A word sent back to the gray.

But even though they knew that it was not, the people in the entire shipyard couldn't help but wonder: what does President Alice want to do with such a large dock?

Yes, that's right, the role of this dock, except for Zhang Lan and a few people, no one in the entire Alice Group knows, like the mysterious warehouse of the automobile factory, this dock is also an absolutely unapproachable place in the Alice Group, similar to a taboo.

But what made many people who were secretly observing this dock curious was that today, Alice and Zhang Lan actually came in person. This makes them wonder: is there something going to happen?

"How do you maintain the cellular activity of this thing? Has the way of supplementing bioenergetics in cells been addressed? ”。 While walking inside, Zhang Lan asked Alice and Xiao Chenxi.

Leave it on the back burner. Zhang Lan would never ask this question, but this time the situation is more special, well, very special, because of the appetite of the guy inside...... It's so good, the good Zhang Lan is shocked! If he didn't think of a way to solve this problem, Zhang Lan was even worried that this guy would turn around and swallow himself in his stomach when he was extremely hungry.

"Guess what?"

"Could it be that ......" Zhang Lan was stunned for a moment, and then looked ecstatic in disbelief, "You have completely solved the problem of cells?" ”

"That's right," Alice, who couldn't hold back the expression of joy on her face anymore, "After a few years of hard work, this problem was finally solved in the end." ”

A problem that has plagued the two of them for many years has been solved, and the joy in the hearts of the two girls is naturally needless to say.

Similarly, the solution of this problem also means that Zhang Lan's previous idea has a basis for realization, and even that the difficulty of realization is gone, and in the rest of the time, Zhang Lan, who has no fetters, can finally let go of the stride and run.

"Hehe......" In the face of the huge surprise, Zhang Lan didn't seem to know what to do except smirk, the only thing he could do was to giggle. It's just a giggle.

"4 years, a whole four years......" turned over and over, Zhang Lan's mouth was chanting this sentence.

"yes, four years, four whole years! Nuclear fusion fuel cell technology has finally been conquered by us, and Hammerhead, Arnold, Schwa and Singh finally don't have to worry about energy problems; The problem of energy replenishment and muscle strength of the super-large cell population has also been solved," glanced at Alice, Xiao Chenxi's eyes were slightly red, "This guy's idea can finally be realized." ”

Alice didn't speak, her eyes were red, she just nodded vigorously!

The two girls are also so out of shape this time.

Nuclear fusion fuel cells? That's right, fusion fuel cells. At a time when the scientific community has not yet solved the controlled nuclear fusion technology, Alice and Xiao Chenxi have solved the most important problem in the next development of controlled nuclear fusion technology: controlled nuclear fusion fuel cell technology! …,

With this technology, it really means that a civilization has begun to go to space!

Ion engines powered by controlled fusion fuel cells are the best choice for space flight. Even if it is not used in the field of space, but in the traditional field of navigation and aviation, if the controllable nuclear fusion fuel cell is used as the energy source, it will bring a revolutionary technology to these fields**!

Nautical field. The use of controllable nuclear fusion fuel cell aircraft carrier not only means that the performance of the aircraft carrier using this power is better than that of the aircraft carrier with existing power, but also means that the aircraft carrier can not be consumed even if it runs to the end, but also means that this kind of aircraft carrier even surpasses the nuclear fission fuel cell power technology that has been coveted by various countries in terms of power system; In the aerospace field, the use of controllable nuclear fusion fuel cells not only means that the emergence of an aircraft flying in suborbit and can fly in the sky for years and decades may become a reality, but also means that the field of human exploration of the starry sky finally has sufficient confidence......

The thought of such a guy above his head who can see but can't hit it, probably no country will be happy.

Each new technology will continue to appear because of the emergence of this new technology, thinking of this, Zhang Lan's heart can't help beating wildly! There is nothing more exciting than this, although Zhang Lan didn't plan to say anything about this thing, so he secretly kept it for himself--the one that was sold out, and the previous nuclear fission fuel cell was made, and that thing was a treasure that made them salivate for countless people.

Of course, probably the most unhappy about the emergence of this new energy source are the Middle East oil-producing countries and major oil companies that rely on exporting oil for money, because overnight, the lifeblood of the world they control may become worthless, so that the Middle Eastern countries that have nothing but oil are accustomed to a luxurious life and then suddenly return to the pre-liberation period overnight? This is probably a bit cruel, and many people may not be able to accept it.

Zhang Lan can clearly feel that the mountain rain is coming!

Although I don't know how the news of the successful development of nuclear fission fuel cells leaked out, through this news, Zhang Lan realized a very important thing: there are still serious loopholes in the management of middle and high-level and scientific research personnel.

Zhang Lan, Xiao Chenxi, and Alice all understood that the accident that attacked the energy research and development center of the Alice Group two days ago was aimed at the nuclear fission fuel cell technology that the Alice Group had just developed...... The guy who carried out the attack. Although they coveted Alice Group's technology in energy, they obviously didn't expect that Alice and Xiao Chenxi had actually developed more perverted technology, otherwise there would be more than 50 people going that night, for this thing, don't say 50 people, as long as you can get it, even if it is 50,000 people, you won't frown.

As long as you get this thing, all the losses in front of you are worth it, and they are all necessary investments.

"Don't talk about this, we'll talk about those things later, what should come will always come, and the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth," holding back his agitated mood, Zhang Lan grabbed the hands of the two girls, "Let's go, let's see your results first." Well, don't scare me. ”

"Wow!" Before the words fell, in the closed dock filled with water and wet and dry dock, there was a sudden loud bang, and a huge head with a long flag gun with a diameter of more than 2 meters suddenly appeared on the water, looking at Zhang Lan and his party with cold eyes. There seems to be a hint of warmth.

However, although he had been fully mentally prepared before coming, when he saw the hideous and slippery huge head of the guy in front of him, he still scared Zhang Lan! …,

The shape of this thing in the water is a little strange, just from the appearance it should be a swordfish, especially the iconic but 100-meter-long huge body of the swordfish on the head, which tells everyone that this guy has nothing to do with the "little one" of the swordfish. But what's the hell, the 100-meter-long sea creatures? Except for the sea monsters that exist in legends and myths, it seems that no one has discovered them until now!

"That's right, that's it." Stopping the strange creature in front of him that looked very similar to the swordfish that had been magnified countless times, Xiao Chenxi let out a long sigh. With gentle eyes, looking at this super monster in front of her is like a mother looking at her child, "In the past few years, a considerable part of the time has been spent on it." ”

It seems to be a response to Xiao Chenxi's words, this big "swordfish" looked at Zhang Lan and the three of them nodding frequently, that look was full of humanity, and the "fish tank" in front of him, which was obviously a little small for this super monster, was suddenly turbulent and splashing!

The first feeling in the heart of anyone facing such a super big guy is probably shocking in addition to shock! Knowing in your heart and seeing with your own eyes are two very different concepts!

"That's right, that's it." Zhang Lan nodded unusually affirmatively.

This monster, to be precise, is a creature like the golden eagle Eleno, not a native of the earth, but was created by Xiao Chenxi and Alice, and the original reason for the creation of this behemoth was to build a huge ship that could not be detected by sonar, or by passive sonar.

The propeller was abandoned at the first time, and even the propeller used on the aircraft carrier could detect the noise emitted by the passive sonar on the submarine; Waterjet propulsion system? To propel the behemoth that Zhang Lan envisioned, the waterjet propulsion system needed to be so strong that the sound of the water was even louder than the background noise of the ocean!

After discovering that all kinds of methods were not suitable for him, Zhang Lan decided to start from a biological point of view: since the existing propulsion system was not suitable for him, then he would cultivate a larger sea creature just like cultivating the golden eagle Ilinor, the mechanical biochemical tiger shark and the whale, and use this creature as the power system of the ship.

Since it is planned to use this thing as a power system, the fastest creatures in the middle of the ocean: swordfish and swordfish came into the eyes of Xiao Chenxi, and after some choice, a strange creature that combines the dual characteristics of sailfish and swordfish was born in Xiao Chenxi's design.

Xiao Chenxi once made calculations and used such a huge "Swordfish" as a 100-meter-long "Swordfish" to propel the US Nimitz aircraft carrier forward, because the slow swing of the "Swordfish" body replaced the high-speed rotation of the propeller, and the overall noise level of the hull was even 10 decibels lower than the background noise of the ocean!

What does this bull fork number represent? Tracking a submarine with sonar is of course not a problem, as long as the noise of the submarine itself is higher than the ocean background noise, then your sonar will always have a chance to track it, and there is no submarine that has a lower noise level than the ocean background noise, which means that unless you turn on active sonar. Or you don't have any chance of spotting your enemies while turning on active sonar? For a killer hiding in the shadows, it's like a killer hiding in the shadows suddenly popping up and saying to his enemies, "Come, let's have a decisive battle in the light." It was a devastating disaster.

And speed? Regardless of the strength of the hull, it is capable of cruising at speeds of 50 knots and more than 90 kilometers per hour. And the top speed can even reach 80 knots, which is 150 kilometers per hour! At this invincible speed, all torpedoes and warships are floating clouds! …,

But when the initial design of this thing was completed, Zhang Lan was embarrassed to find that he had forgotten one of the most important questions: although the internal power system can use the nuclear fusion lithium battery under development, and the nuclear fission fuel cell can be used to top it in the short term, how to maintain the survival of the biological cells attached to these metal skeletons? -- Although nuclear fission fuel cells were also under consideration, after some comprehensive consideration, Zhang Lan finally gave up this idea: compared with nuclear fusion fuel cells, the overall performance of nuclear fission batteries is undoubtedly much worse! It wasn't until recently, when fusion fuel cell technology was solved that one of the biggest roadblocks to the project was finally removed.

This thing is not something that can survive with a little water, is it possible to feed this guy several whales every day? It seems that this is too extravagant, and this road is obviously impassable.

Since this road is not working, let's think of another way. For this guy, Xiao Chenxi and Alice spent several years and finally redesigned a kind of cell, this brand new cell is somewhat similar to cancer cells in some ways, all living cells and energy are the objects it devours, but this new cell carefully cultivated by Alice and Xiao Chenxi is even more perverted: he can replenish himself by devouring all the energy around him that can be swallowed!

In other words, all the creatures in the ocean, from the tiniest plankton to the blue whale, and even the various organic and inorganic nutrients rich in the seawater, can become his food! And this guy can also be said to have a mouth all over his body, and all kinds of nutrients and plankton floating around him can be eaten directly by countless tiny "mouths" around the body surface.

At the same time, if necessary, this guy can also break away from the hull and go out to forage for food on his own, so that there is no need to worry about the survival of this guy anyway. In this way, Zhang Lan and Alice finally don't have to worry about how this behemoth will hide their essence during the voyage: they don't have to worry about this guy's final muscles falling off, and in the end only the internal skeleton remains.

Of course, this is not what Xiao Chenxi and Alice are most proud of, what really makes the two girls proud is: "The organism composed of this kind of cells can completely shield the detection of sonar waves in the water, that is to say, when our little good fish is in the water, the passive sonar cannot detect it, and the sound waves of the active sonar cannot be detected at all." ”

"And that's not all," Alice asked for credit next to her, "In addition to the fact that sonar waves can't detect it, this kind of cell can automatically adjust its own temperature according to the temperature of the surrounding environment, so that the temperature emitted by its body is the same as the temperature of the surrounding environment, so as to avoid thermal detection and achieve the purpose of stealth." Even the most advanced infrared detectors cannot detect it, that is, it is completely invisible in the face of existing means of underwater detection. ”、

"What I am most proud of is that even in the water temperature of around 0 degrees, the cells can still remain alive enough. So, even in the Arctic Ocean, our little ones can still go. ”

Zhang Lan didn't know what to say, the only thing that could sigh was that it took Xiao Chenxi and Alice four years to get it, and these four years were really not in vain!

"Let him out, this little fishbowl is not where this guy should be." Looking at the behemoth in front of him, Zhang Lan's eyes flashed with a hint of madness, "During this time, let him go out for activities, for this guy, the ocean is where it should go." ”

"Where is he going?"

"Well, maybe near Guam or off the coast of Japan is a good choice? Let's hope that the Japanese fishing boats and the American submarines patrolling underwater will not encounter it. Zhang Lan's face was full of compassion.

――――――――――――――――

As a nuclear submarine that has only been in service for 8 years, the "Columbia" belongs to the small DD among the Los Angeles-class nuclear submarines. Of course, as one of the last three Los Angeles-class nuclear submarines to be produced, this USS Columbia, numbered SSN771, is much more advanced than the "big brothers" in front of it.

At this moment, the captain of the USS Columbia nuclear submarine: Simon. Davis was smoking a large Cuban cigar with a pleasant face, looking at the huge electronic charts in front of him.

Compared to the captains of conventionally powered submarines in poor Third World countries, and in contrast to the draconian regulations on conventionally powered submarines, as the captain of a nuclear attack submarine, Simon Brown. Davis is undoubtedly a very happy man, at least, now Simon. Davis didn't have to worry about accidentally causing an irreparable fire on the boat when he smoked - as a nuclear submarine, the crew could smoke on the boat, which the crew of a conventionally powered submarine did not ......have.
