In April, the Black Dragon Army held a ceremony to promote the rank of general, in which Ye Guang was promoted to general, and other officers were promoted, and Ye Quan personally issued letters of appointment to 9 generals and 23 lieutenant generals.

The ceremony was not made public, but it was not deliberately kept secret.

Today, the Black Dragon Army and the Xinhua National Defense Force have become the most important armed forces on the earth, and their every move is being watched by all forces.

When the news spread, it shook the whole world.

For a long time, the debate about who is the real controller of the Black Dragon Army has finally come to light.

Although Ye Guang has always appeared as the commander-in-chief of the Black Dragon Army, his rise is too rapid and legendary, and his previous experience is a blank, which makes people have to suspect that he is just a puppet pushed out by those behind the scenes.

From the development trajectory of the Black Dragon Army, it can also be easily inferred that there is a huge power organization hidden behind it, which is immeasurable in terms of technology and financial resources.

However, the conclusion of speculation is nothing more than two, one is the alliance of overseas Chinese forces, such as the Huaxia Foundation; One is the backing of Xinhua in order to circumvent the obstruction of various countries.

Others believe that the combination of the two is what gives this energy.

After the four major groups in Hualong State, they carried out large-scale industrial transfer, fully promoted the development of various industries in Hualong State, and enjoyed the treatment of state-owned enterprises, which must have some kind of connection.

Ye Quan and Ye Guang both have the surname "Ye", which makes people think about it.

When the Yanhuang Group was born, some forces already knew about it. Ye Quan is the promoter of all this.

As for the mysterious forces behind Ye Quan, no one knows.

Ye Quan through the layout of these years. has become the undisputed king of this planet, and Hualong Kingdom can be said to be one of the other foundations and retreats he has opened up.

The Black Dragon Army is Ye Quan's fist, and without a strong force guarantee, the various forces would have swallowed it to the bone.

Yanhuang Group is a business force used by Ye Quan to influence the world and promote the development of science and technology.

As for what the ultimate goal is, there are opinions on the benevolent and the wise, and various "conspiracy theories" emerge one after another.

……

Not only is Xinhua and various coastal countries expanding their armaments, but the same is true of the Black Dragon Army.

After several years of military expansion. The strength of the Black Dragon Army has reached 1.9 million, which is quite high for the Hualong Kingdom, which has a population of only more than 50 million. It is generally only in times of war that such a high rate is known.

However, more than 68 percent of the military members come from various countries, mainly Xinhua. Only 31 percent of the military are native-born. The number of the Foreign Legion alone is more than 150,000.

Of course, on the surface, the number of the Black Dragon Army is around 1.2 million, including the establishment of the troops stationed in Yanhuangxing, the three starfleets and the solar system defense forces, which are all under secrecy for the time being.

The Yellow Star Force already has 200,000 soldiers, and with the arrival of more than 3 million immigrants from the Second Fleet, this number will increase significantly.

Only part of the troops were left in the Hualong Nation itself, and the rest of the troops began to participate in the eradication of the biochemical beasts throughout Southeast Asia.

Normal guns can't fatally damage cyborgs, so starting in February 2020. The Black Dragon Army has been equipped with a new generation of weapons and equipment such as electromagnetic sniper rifles, laser guns, individual aerial vehicles, mechas, and hovering combat vehicles.

The electromagnetic gun adopts the principle of electromagnetic bolt and fires a unique electromagnetic bullet. By creating a magnetic field to accelerate the bullet, instead of the original gunpowder propulsion, the bullet can reach an astonishing high speed of 15 km/s!

Bullets of this speed can penetrate the protective armor of helicopters, armored vehicles, and tanks, and can cause fatal damage to the second generation of cyborgs.

Its advantage is that the firing range is very long, and now the so-called sniper range is simply pediatric, and the accuracy also exceeds that of ordinary sniper rifles.

In terms of penetration, electromagnetic rifles will be able to easily replace the current anti-materiel firearms, and many of the current defense facilities will become vulnerable in the face of electromagnetic rifles.

In addition, despite the power of the electromagnetic rifle, its recoil is negligible and nearly silent when fired.

The electromagnetic rifle also has a disadvantage, it has a very slow firing rate, and it takes about 1.5 seconds after each shot to recharge for the next shot, but this is tolerable for a sniper rifle.

In addition, electromagnetic guns are complex in structure, expensive, and weigh far more than ordinary guns.

The shooting effect of the electromagnetic rifle is very gorgeous, and the bullet will bring out a blue arc of light, which is generally thought to be a beam weapon at first sight.

In addition to electromagnetic guns, the development of miniaturization of laser weapons has also been accelerated.

The current Black Dragon Army is a future army, and laser weapons have been commonly equipped, including ground air defense, aircraft and warship defense, and precision strikes.

The cost-effectiveness ratio of laser emitting equipment is extremely high.

For example, in terms of ground-based air defense weapons, the current main body is missiles. A Patriot missile costs $600-700,000, and a short-range Stinger missile costs $20,000.

The Black Dragon Army's ground-based laser defense system, which only costs a few hundred dollars for a single launch, also has excellent performance such as rapid mobility, flexibility, accuracy and anti-electromagnetic interference.

However, these laser emitting equipment are generally relatively large in size and can only be equipped on vehicles and warships, and the Black Dragon Army is equipped with a set of short-range laser defense systems on fighters, which is already a revolutionary breakthrough.

In the early years, laser guns developed by various countries could only cause temporary blindness or permanent blindness to the enemy, and were non-lethal or soft-kill weapons.

The Black Dragon Army's individual tactical laser gun is a real hard kill weapon, its total weight is less than 6 kilograms, and its effective range has reached more than 10,000 meters, which can burn a fatal wound close to 2 centimeters in size on the enemy's body.

At the same time, it is also equipped with a small shoulder-mounted laser interception system, commonly known as "laser cannon", which is specially designed to shoot down small drones and helicopters.

It has a transmission power of more than 30,000 watts, and can accurately intercept a variety of aircraft with a radius of 5 kilometers and a 360-degree airspace within 4 seconds, and the hit rate within 20 square kilometers has reached 100%.

In order to speed up the mobility of the soldiers, the Black Dragon Army is equipped with three individual flying machines, which are very sci-fi.

One is a mechanical winged flying machine similar to the "Falcon" used in "Captain America 2".

One is similar to Batman's cape, which is mainly used for airborne landing, and can glide over a distance of more than 200 kilometers.

The third type of individual aircraft is a flying motorcycle.

This flying motorcycle does not require a runway to take off.

Thanks to the use of a large number of new materials such as carbon fiber, the flying bike weighs only 350 kilograms, accelerates to 100 kilometers in just 4 seconds, has a top speed of 240 kilometers per hour, and can fly 500 kilometers.

The research on personal aircraft has a long history, as early as the 60s of the last century, countless pioneers devoted themselves to this development, but all ended in failure.

Hualongguo's breakthrough in anti-gravity technology led scientists to invent a battery-charged anti-gravity propulsion system and successfully achieve miniaturization.

At the same time, under the impetus of Ye Quan, the shielding material has reached the standard of large-scale production, and the Black Dragon Army has successfully developed anti-gravity suspension tanks, combat vehicles and other weapons and equipment.

Take the universal military hovering combat vehicle as an example, the vehicle is 3.8 meters long, 2.0 meters wide, 0.85 meters high, weighs only a staggering 156 kilograms, and has a maximum take-off weight of 800 kilograms.

The hovering vehicle can take off and land vertically, has a terrain scanner, and can even reach altitudes of more than 4,000 meters, with a speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour and a maximum range of 450 kilometers.

The high efficiency and cheapness of the battery, the success of anti-gravity weapons and equipment, coupled with the service of new equipment such as Totoro vertical take-off and landing aircraft, transport boats and air gunboats, made the mobilization of the Black Dragon Army rapid and fast, and railways, highways and other means of transportation began to be eliminated.

Now the Black Dragon Army can send 100,000 troops to any place on the earth in one day, and its powerful combat power can no longer find an opponent in the human realm.

The importance of anti-gravity technology to the development of human civilization cannot be overstated, so much so that Ye Quan did not intend to keep the technology strictly secret, but quickly introduced it to the civilian market.

Jiuzhou Group and Galaxy Group have begun to establish new factories and production lines, and are ready to launch flying motorcycles, hovering cars and other products to the private sector next year.

Of course, the civilian version of the hovercraft will have various limitations, such as a maximum altitude of only 3 meters above the ground, and a speed of no more than 200 kilometers per hour.

In addition, the price of an ordinary flying motorcycle is about 800,000 yuan, and the price of a flying car is about 1.5 million, which is not affordable for ordinary people, but it is already very conscientious.

Only when the market expands and all kinds of costs are reduced, it is possible to truly popularize and make mankind transition from the age of cars to the "age of flying cars". (To be continued.) )
