Chapter 319 Nangeguo's Ship Parade

Emperor Guangyue took the imperial concubine Liu Wenjiao and the sixth prince Rong Hongjun, the commander of the Royal Navy, to the coastal cities of Nange to participate in the celebration of the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Nange Navy. The commander of the Royal Navy, the Sixth Prince, is now in the coastal city of Noji, in the kingdom of Viet Nam, waiting for their arrival.

The commander of the Royal Navy, the Six Princes, fell in love with the sea creatures and built an aquarium here, and when Emperor Kotsu and the Imperial Concubine arrived, the Six Princes invited them to visit the aquarium.

"I'm particularly interested in octopuses right now, and I wanted to study them, so there are quite a few octopuses in the aquarium. Why are you interested in octopus? It's because you brought back the octopus scientist and heard what you said about Zhang Yuguo. ”

At first, after communicating with people who study the play behavior of mammals, the Six Princes strangely began to wonder if octopuses could also play. He designed an experiment with researchers at the aquarium.

Play is often cited as the preserve of animals with higher cognitive abilities. It is difficult to define precisely what is "play" in an octopus, but in a broad sense, play can be seen as an activity that does not bring immediate benefits, but simply provides fun.

When they arrived at the aquarium, a young staff member told them a bizarre thing. He said that there was an octopus that was particularly cunning, and that at night, when the staff had left, he would secretly open the steel lid and sneak into the fish pond to eat small fish and dried shrimp.

After a full meal, he sneaked back, got into the water tank, closed the lid of the water tank, for a while, the staff found that there were always few fish in the fish pond, but could not find any reason, so they installed a camera near the place, and found the secret. Since then, the fish tank has been locked at night.

The octopus was not in a good mood ever since, and once the staff member poured some dried shrimp into his fish tank, as is customary, and then went back to his office to read a book, when suddenly he felt something float down in front of him and float onto the pages of his book.

He took a closer look, it was a broken shrimp, and then he looked at the top of his head, it was the octopus crawling on it, oh, it turned out that he threw down this stinky shrimp, only to see his slippery eyes anyway, a hostile light, which really shocked him, it turned out that the octopus was so smart.

"Some people say that if the human race dies in the Batu continent, then the octopus will be the master here, do you believe it?" This staff member said.

"Don't just believe! I saw the Octopus Kingdom, their world is very developed, the Octopus World gives us the feeling that it is another space, and I, together with the palace guard captain Maoping and the second prince of the Great Kingdom, almost destroyed the high-tech of their space. “

The imperial concubine's words surprised this staff member very much.

The Six Princes ordered the staff to put the six giant octopuses of the Beichuan Ocean into a water tank with no other places to place, and then in more than six experiments, they were given some plastic medicine bottles that could float. At first, the octopuses put the medicine bottle in their mouths, apparently wondering if they could eat it, after which the medicine bottle was thrown aside.

However, after several iterations, two of the octopuses began to spew water into the bottle. The vials began to tumble at the other end of the aquarium, and the current sent them back to the octopus. They agreed that it was an exploratory act of play.

"He does play, and he's slapping that ball with its tentacles." Liu Wenjiao felt that these octopuses were like naughty children. "You can make it a show and let somebody perform when they come to visit." Emperor Guangyue said with a smile.

The Sixth Prince said, "I think these octopuses are indeed slapping the ball and playing with the medicine bottle. This is similar to the process by which a human child begins to play with unfamiliar objects. “

"If you put an octopus in any new environment, the first thing it does is explore all sorts of things around it." The staff member said. "I guess that's what researchers say, children go from 'what's the use of this object' to 'what can I do with this object?'" And these octopuses are doing these fun things. The sixth prince went on to say that he found it very interesting.

"This seems to prove to us once again that octopuses are one of the most intelligent creatures on the planet, and that octopuses have different personalities. This means that the individual octopus will exhibit a stable behavior pattern that is different from the rest of its mates. Emperor Guangyue concluded.

In the evening in the banquet hall of the Royal Navy Headquarters, the six princes hosted a banquet for Emperor Guangyue and his wife. He was accompanied by the deputy commander of the Navy, as well as the Chief of Staff of the Navy.

"Imperial Concubine, the ship parade simply means that the sea is on top, but the review is the various types of warships of the navy. Including both surface and underwater, due to the combination of steel and beauty of the battleship itself, the parade is full of majesty and romance, which makes people surge passion! Ship parades often also have the meaning of strategic deterrence, so major maritime powers have held ship parades! The chief of staff of the Navy said to the imperial concubine. Love Me eBook

"At that time, in the Qingwan Kingdom, the era of the Empress of Galida's mother, it was the peak of the global hegemony of the Qingwan Kingdom, and the empire was built in the hands of this Empress! At that time, the New Gulf Royal Navy Parade would be held every few years, showing the maritime supremacy of the Qingwan States! Some of the parades were used as mobilization orders for war, and the warships after participating in the parade went directly to the naval battlefield. "This is Emperor Guangyue talking to them.

"Later, the strongest fleet appeared in the Nange country, and then the Nange country replaced the Qingwan country." Liu Wenjiao raised her glass and paid tribute to the Chief of Staff of the Navy.

The Chief of Staff of the Navy drank this glass of wine and continued: "In the era of the Empress of Galida's mother, the first ship parade was 30 years ago, and the first steam-powered warship appeared. Every time the empress parades, the warships will change, and the ironclad version of the ship, and the parade for the first time, submarines appeared, opening up a new era of naval warfare. “

"There will be aircraft carriers in the Nange National Parade this time, but the aircraft carriers of the Nange country are already lagging behind, and the adult country has the most powerful navy in the world, and no other country can catch up with it, whether it is an aircraft carrier carrier, a destroyer, or a nuclear submarine." said the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Navy.

"Our navy is very young, and this year marks the 14th anniversary of its founding. But we are the fastest developing in the last few years, don't talk about octopus scientists, they brought the original ship technology of the octopus country and carried it forward, so that we have an aircraft carrier in just three years. And * powered submarines. The commander of the Navy, the Sixth Prince, after saying that, proposed that everyone toast to the achievements of the Navy.

Emperor Guangyue was happy in his heart, and the development of the navy was inseparable from the merits of the imperial concubine Liu Wenjiao. He said: "Now there is only half a year left before the celebration day of the establishment of the navy, and I have decided to hold a ship parade to celebrate as well." “

In order to meet the needs of future naval battles and draw a blueprint for the development of the navy, the chief of staff of the navy submitted this blueprint to the Guangyue Emperor: within five years, the Chinese navy will have 10 aircraft carrier battle groups; 10 amphibious readiness groups as the basis of the force structure, with a new generation of stealth* power submarines, missile ships and powerful surface warships; Joint Strike Fighter ......

Emperor Guangyue took this blueprint and looked at it a few times, he expressed his approval, and proposed: "To take advantage of the advantages of the scientists of the Octopus Country, we must also develop a new type of aircraft carrier." ”

Both the Chief of Staff of the Navy and the Commander of the Navy agreed.

The next day they came to the coastal city of Shadi, which is as beautiful as ever, and was not affected at all by last year's coastal earthquake and tsunami, in which the Da Viet and Qing Bay countries lost some coastal land, and several large cities were severely damaged.

President Nange met with the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine of Da Viet and praised the development of the Da Viet Navy in recent years. Subsequently, Emperor Guangyue and the imperial concubine met with the Empress of the Qingwan Kingdom, Galida, and her husband, Prince Ali.

The atmosphere of the meeting was very harmonious, and the two countries were frank and honest with each other, and the countries of Da Viet Nam and the Qing Gulf took advantage of the Nange State Ship Parade to display their new warships. The "Big Big Wolf" is one of the most modern warships in the country. A missile cruiser, this modern warship is one of the first warships in the Viet Viet country to be equipped with a truly multi-purpose weapon system, with a multi-purpose radar station and a multi-purpose vertical launcher, and can use many types of missiles.

The Qingwan Kingdom also has several ships with similar capabilities, but they are all carriers of the Heavenly Sword system and multi-purpose launchers of the Great People's Kingdom. The significance of the appearance of the Da Viet Navy in Nange seems to be obvious: the Da Viet is friendly, but at the same time it is so powerful that it would be a mistake to confront it.

In addition to the Great Vietnam and Qingwan countries, warships from Jiangyuan Kingdom, Daren Kingdom, Alpaca Kingdom, and several other countries participated in the Nange National Ship Parade.

Relations between Vietnam and South Korea have been going through a period of stability and easing tensions in recent years: the severity of rhetoric from both sides has been reduced, contacts at the highest level have been restored, and successful dialogues on a wide range of economic and technical issues have been held. However, the fundamental contradiction has not disappeared. The country continues to rapidly strengthen its air and naval capabilities, recently upgrading six helicopter destroyers into veritable light aircraft carriers. These six light aircraft carriers are placed at sea, quite imposing.

The Great Viet will continue to maintain a high level of military activity in the Dongchuan Ocean and strengthen the existing strength of the fleet here.

The Hippoquestrian Nation was not invited to this military parade in the Nange Kingdom, and for the first time, the Hippocampus Kingdom decided not to invite the Hippocampus Kingdom to participate in the parade. It can be seen that the sharp deterioration of relations between South Africa and Malaysia, which began three years ago, has caused the current contradictory situation. The Great Viet Nam Kingdom, which was repeatedly mentioned in official documents of the Nange government as a threat to its own security and a decisive factor affecting the Nange military program, was invited to participate in the activities of the Nange military. You must know that Nange, like the Seahorse Kingdom, is also an ally of the Great Kingdom, but did not participate in this parade.

In this context, their lowering of the level of interaction was a great success for the foreign policy of the Great Viet Kingdom, although the Quang Viet Emperor felt that not much effort had been put into this area.

When the Da Viet entered the port, it met a number of ships of various countries that were leaving the port, and these ships seemed to be leaving the port to welcome the arrival of the mighty and majestic guided missile destroyers and other ships of the Dai Viet Navy.

Large-class destroyers, these nearly 10,000-ton ships representing the pinnacle of the sea, could be said to be proud of the Batu continent at that time. But when the 10,000-ton destroyers of the Great Viet Kingdom were built and put into service one after another, those destroyers were overshadowed by their aura.
