In particular, the Typhoon ballistic missile nuclear submarine can launch V-4 missiles, which further increases the value of this missile. After all, no matter what kind of weapon, no matter how advanced no one is, it is to strike at the enemy, and it is useless to hit the enemy without being able to hit it.

Nuclear submarines can deliver weapons under the enemy's nose and then deliver a lethal strike, which will inevitably bring about the success rate of the strike. Therefore, in addition to nuclear deterrence, submarines carrying V-4 missiles can also maximize the performance of missiles.

V-4 hypersonic missile: one hour to strike global weapons, the cost of a single missile - 500,000 base funds, production time - 1 hour.

Description: The use of its own fuel and the rapid combustion of the air outside the missile to bring more than seven Mach numbers of ultra-high speed, hit targets 5,000 kilometers away, with accurate hit and extremely strong destruction capabilities, can carry high-explosive warheads and small tactical nuclear bombs, with extremely strong penetration, can destroy targets buried deep underground. It can also be used to complete global real-time reconnaissance and strike deployments. The ultra-high speed also gives it unrivalled penetration.

Missile carriers: bombers, transport aircraft carry launches, naval weapons platform launches, attack satellite platforms launches.

――――

It was a very simple explanation, but it made Li Lan's eyes light up instantly when he saw this unit. Almost every developed country in the world is developing hypersonic strike weapons, which seems to have become a new flagpole for the development of weapons in the future.

Li Lan also started research in this area at the beginning, but the hypersonic cruise missile is technologically advanced, and its development and research still faces many difficulties. For example, propulsion technology, integrated design, material technology, etc., many other countries have not achieved results in tackling key problems for many years.

Only the United States and China seem to have made some progress in this regard. But they are all highly classified, and not much is known to the outside world. Even Li Lan is the same. Somali intelligence is also concerned about the development of hypersonic weapons in the United States.

After more than ten years of public relations research, the United States may have begun to equip itself with hypersonic weapons, which were originally used to fight the leaders of anti-terrorist organizations, and are also moving towards an important national deterrent weapon.

Originally, Li Lan also wanted to do everything possible to get back some research results from the United States, but now this idea no longer needs to be implemented, and no matter what progress the United States makes in this regard, he does not need to be in a hurry now, because he also has this kind of ultra-high-speed strike means.

Mankind entered the era of supersonic flight very early, but after decades of development. The speed of an ordinary aircraft can only be increased to 3 to 4 times the speed of sound at most, and beyond that, the limits of conventional technology are reached.

Thus, the theory of hypersonic flight came into being. Hypersonic speed refers to the speed of an object exceeding 5 times the speed of sound, which is about 6,000 kilometers per hour. For example, a non-stop flight from Urumqi to Shanghai takes 30 minutes or less at this speed, compared to several hours for a typical civil flight.

There are three main categories of hypersonic vehicles: hypersonic cruise missiles, hypersonic aircraft, and aerospace aircraft.

The X-51, which was successfully flown by the United States early, is the prototype of the hypersonic cruise missile, and the supersonic ramjet engine it uses is considered to be the "third power revolution" after propeller and jet propulsion -- in contrast, the "war" cruise missile, which the US military is currently equipped with, can only fly slowly at subsonic speeds. There is no comparison with the X-51 at all.

If this weapon really begins to be equipped in some countries, the most direct result will be those original cruise missiles, and the tactical performance will be completely thrown off, and it will also lead to countries that are not equipped with this weapon. When facing a country with this weapon, it is difficult to keep up with the pace of war, and it is easy to be led by the nose.

And the emergence of a revolutionary new technology. There are bound to be other benefits.

The reason why Li Lan's eyes lit up when he saw this weapon. A large part of the reason is not the combat effectiveness of this weapon, but the benefits that this weapon can bring to the entire national scientific and technological system.

In particular, the engines of the missiles. Being able to burn fuel and external oxygen at the same time is a huge step forward in the engine industry, which has a direct impact on the technological progress of other missile engines and engines in the aerospace field.

Once this technology is thoroughly understood, it will also bring tremendous benefits to the entire country's engine technology.

Since the ultimate authority upgrade, Li Lan has almost always taken the lead in leading the progress of his own science and technology in terms of the possible role of the third-generation Red Alert units, and the combat performance of many third-generation weapon units may not be advanced, nor is it much improved compared with the second-generation units.

But they all have one thing in common, that is, in some technical fields, they have greatly improved, and even advanced technology. Once these technologies can be fully understood, that is where the real value lies.

Maintaining the advancement of technology, even if he is not ahead, he cannot be weaker than others, this has always been Li Lan's bottom line, he has not been worried before, when the bottleneck of base science and technology appears, how he can continue to maintain an advantage or lead.

After the ultimate permission, he didn't have to worry about this.

The United States' strong scientific and technological foundation is extremely terrifying, and even though the current Li Lan has surpassed the United States in some aspects, he has never maintained any optimism.

Just like during World War II, the blowout development of science and technology in the United States is still fresh in everyone's memory, and the system of the United States also determines the country's excellent scientific and technological development potential.

It has the most comprehensive research laboratories in the world, accounting for more than 30% of the world's real laboratories and scientific researchers, decades of competitive scientific and technological development, and the popularization and awareness of science among the people as a whole. When all these things are combined, once such a country once again faces a strong external crisis and pressure, the potential that erupts at that time, and now Somalia's meager lead is very likely to be surpassed in an instant.

At that time, even if Somalia is sitting on a rocket, I am afraid it will be difficult to catch up, especially under the pressure of war, no one knows at what point in time the next military revolution will appear.

Throughout the history of human civilization, especially military progress and development, every time it has appeared in a war environment.

And in terms of the current power gap between the United States and Somalia. It is not a simple matter for Li Lan to surpass it, since the appearance of the senseless level in Somalia. Zumwalt, which had been reduced to three, was reinstated by the U.S. Congress, which had previously planned to build 36 ships. And the follow-up construction program has already begun. And five billion dollars of research funding has been re-allocated, and it is planned to actually equip the fourth Zumwalt with laser weapons and electromagnetic guns.

At the same time, the U.S. Congress also began to speed up the construction of the Ford-class aircraft carrier and the road to service, which gave Li Lan some technological leadership, which is being quickly caught up by the United States.

Although today's US national strength has gone downhill, its war potential is still the largest in the world, and with the European allies, once they really start preparing for war, Li Lan will not be able to resist it at all. Even if 20 million base funds are received every day, it is difficult to confront such a huge military group.

Therefore, Li Lan must not only be high-tech, develop his own military strength, but also have some allies, otherwise he will be easily crushed by the NATO countries led by the United States.

However, compared with the influence of the traditional hegemon of the United States, Li Lan has already worked very hard. But not many, if not many, or even most countries, have received foreign help, but it is for the sake of China and Russia. Cooperation with Somalia.

If you look at the bottom of the matter, Li Lan's real strength is still very immature.

It was able to win the war. A lot of it was a matter of planning, and the scale of the investment of both sides in that war. It can only be regarded as pediatrics, and the whole world understands this. Li Lan naturally understood.

Otherwise, how can tens of thousands of troops resist the real strength of the four countries combined.

Once an all-out war breaks out, it is useless to look at the country's overall strength, war potential, and scientific and technological potential, rather than a little military superiority.

In recent days, there has been another incident that has made Li Lan feel more clearly the crisis he will face in the future.

That is, Russia's attitude towards Somalia has gradually undergone some subtle changes, although these small changes have not really affected the relations between the two countries, Putin still admires him very much, and the overall attitude towards Somalia has not changed, but it may not be in the future.

Since the end of the Vietnam War, Li Lan has gradually felt Russia's fear of Somalia, perhaps Putin himself needs Li Lan's friend very much to help Russia fight NATO, but the rest of the country in Russia has begun to feel the threat brought by Somalia's rapid development.

At the moment, this threat has not really affected Russia's decision-making as a whole, but in a small way, support for Somalia has not been so strong.

This relationship may not change in the next few years, but in the further future, it may be.

If there is a loss of national strength between Somalia and Russia in the confrontation with NATO, the maintenance of this relationship may break down in an instant.

Even in Li Lan's view, once Putin steps down in the future, the next Russian president may begin to change Russia's attitude towards Somalia. This can be explained from Russia's attitude towards China at the beginning.

And once Somalia and China become stronger than the United States and NATO, perhaps the whole of Europe will be united, including Russia. This is not impossible.

Therefore, no matter what kind of crisis Somalia faces in the future, Li Lan needs to be completely prepared.

At present, what he can rely on is still the base, which is also the source of his confidence, which will allow him to have a higher starting point in the future technological competition environment.

Just like the V-4 missile, the United States has carefully developed it for more than ten years, and he can easily have it now, although the overall scientific and technological foundation is much behind, but the two complement each other, which is enough to level the gap and put the two countries on the same starting line.

Hypersonic missiles are only one aspect, and on other weapons, too. Under the ultimate authority, the emergence of many third-generation Red Alert weapons is the best opportunity.

Just like every time he opened the control panel in the past, Li Lan once again opened the construction unit of the third-generation Red Alert weapon, and these weapons, which have a little bit of science fiction color, have become the hope of future development.

However, he has seen it many times, and the events that stay in these units are getting shorter and shorter, but he gradually begins to focus on some extra units, or the upgrades of the original weapon units and other units after this permission upgrade.

There are not many naval units upgraded, even if they are not Red Alert units, and few are upgraded. However, on the Vehicles page, this type of upgrade is common.

Moreover, after upgrading the permissions, there is also an additional drone page on the original tank production page, and the terrorist machine qì man who originally remained on the tank page has been transferred to a new page, which has a lot of drones, many of which are third-generation Red Alert units.

In addition to these red police units, in this list, there are also many more non-red police series machines, all of which are fully functional and cover a wide range, with different functions such as reconnaissance, blasting, explosive disposal, and armament.

The terrorist machine, a unit with intermediate authority, has now ushered in the first enhanced upgrade, and Li Lan only took a brief look at the specific situation, and did not understand it in depth.

"Jingle bell!" At this time, the sudden ringtone of the mobile phone interrupted Li Lan's wandering movements.

"Hey!"

"Report to the commander, the Hades King has just sent news that he has been lurking in South Sudan, and the other personnel have also continued to lurk in Shun Lì, and have not attracted any attention from the outside world." On the other end of the phone, after Jascho heard Li Lan's voice, he immediately reported.

"And what have those guys from the Joint Counterterrorism Unit been doing lately?" Li Lan asked.

"They are still searching inside Sudan, but in recent times they have reduced the intensity of their search in Sudan, and the long period of inconclusion has made them start to focus on the outside of Sudan." Jascho replied.

"Are they going to disperse their forces to other countries in northern Africa?" Li Lan continued to ask.

"Yes, the inconclusivity of this anti-terrorist operation has made countries once again focus on other countries, and the main purpose of this visit to Africa by many European heads of state is to strengthen counter-terrorism efforts in these countries. In my opinion, this is the drunkard's intention not to drink, and the so-called anti-terrorism must be coming at us, because they can't be sure that Hades is in Africa. Jascho Road.

"It's an inevitable result, and I've expected it for a long time." Li Lan's eyes narrowed slowly, and she asked, "Has Natasha explained her job search?" ”

"I have already explained, and I have activated the personnel of the entire operation one after another, and I believe that in the next ten days, there will be results." (To be continued......)
