Professor Zhang Keming was nervously wandering around his office at Crystal Palace at this time, and the complex situation made him feel pressured. Since the rescue team led by Tong Jiwu rescued the undersea city that was seriously damaged from the attack, Zhang Keming and all the personnel of the Crystal Palace have been working non-stop to repair the undersea city. Tong Jiwu's base in the mountains was completely destroyed and Tong Jiwu himself was also lost in the air battle with the Black Eagle Society, this series of blows made the main base of the New New Human Association on the earth that was already a corner, and only Zhang Keming's Crystal Palace still had a certain defensive strength, and the remaining small bases and laboratories were all scientific research institutions, basically without defensive capabilities. After discussing with Fei Meng, Zhang Keming decided to completely shift the focus of his work to the production and research and development of military equipment, in order to maintain the existence of the Crystal Palace in this special period.

Dr. Gong Qingguo also changed his former elegance and bookish atmosphere, the actions of the Black Eagle Society completely angered him, he put down a number of marine projects that he was researching, and began to study with Zhang Keming how to improve the defense system of the Crystal Palace, Gong Qingguo's active participation made Zhang Keming very encouraged, because he was surprised to find that Dr. Gong Qingguo was not only an expert in oceanography, but also an expert in the history of maritime warfare and maritime military, at least much stronger than his own knowledge in this area. Zhang Keming, who did not know the reason, finally got some stories from Dr. Gong Qingguo from a long time ago:

It turned out that Gong Qingguo was the first batch of marine scientists after the founding of New China, and he has been engaged in marine research since he returned from studying abroad, and later because of the needs of naval development, he was transferred to the Naval Oceanographic Research Institute, specializing in marine geological research, military nautical chart drawing, and other key work. In a turbulent period, Gong Qingguo's study abroad experience made him unable to get rid of all kinds of suspicions, he was removed from an important position, to engage in manual labor in marine farms, but soon weaving fishing nets became his strong point, and was once called an expert in fishing net improvement by nearby fishermen, because the fishing nets he weaved under his guidance were not only strong and durable, but also because of his improvement of the fishing net grid, the adaptability of the fishing net in fishing operations has been greatly improved.

Later, Gong Qingguo was restored to a certain reputation, but he no longer had the courage to return to the navy's research institute, but was invited by a fishing company to become the director of the marine fishery resources research office of the newly established collective company. At that time, he met the new energy expert in the field of new energy, who was engaged in the research of Haichao power generation, Dr. Yang Guangxian, the two of them were very close to each other for a while, and they admired each other's knowledge and ability, because Yang Guangxian was a few years older than Gong Qingguo, so the two of them have been called brothers later, this is not a brother at the wine table, but a like-minded friendship.

Yang Guangxian used to be a close partner of Professor Gu Liang in the experimental project, because the two people's research projects complement each other and can make up for each other's shortcomings. But reunion, reunion, separation and separation are tragicomedies that are staged from time to time in the world, and they are similar to Gong Qingguo for reasons that their partner relationship ended, and they were separated for a long time. After Professor Gu Liang became one of the founders of the New New Humanity Association, he began to look for partners and assistants in the development one after another, Yang Guangxian was soon invited into the New New Humanity Association by Professor Gu Liang in a not very friendly way at that time, Yang Guangxian was also angry and abused, but as an adult, especially a scientist with achievements, he was also quickly infected by the vitality of the new environment, and became Professor Gu Liang's right-hand man in the field of antimatter energy applications, and the emergency energy system he developed, It has become a necessary equipment for all power systems, and the comprehensive use of the natural environment allows the backup energy system to store enough energy and release energy at critical moments with little maintenance. Later, Yang Guangxian focused on the field of energy recycling, and has been holding a major position in the New Energy Research Institute in Femont. It was also at the invitation of Yang Guangxian that Gong Qingguo joined the Institute of Oceanography of the New New Humanity Association, and he was one of the first scientists to be introduced after the implementation of the principle of voluntary membership. However, his experience in the navy has not only accumulated rich knowledge of oceanography, but also has a deep understanding of the navy's structure and equipment, and has always watched the development of the global navy, but the peaceful use of rich marine resources has always been his attitude and ideal in life, until now his ideal has been shaken again.

After hearing this, Zhang Keming understood why Gong Qingguo suddenly judged the two of them, he happily took Gong Qingguo's hand and said: "Great, I just need the knowledge and experience you have accumulated in the past, we should immediately strengthen the defense system of the Crystal Palace, the situation is getting more and more serious, the lives of tens of thousands of people and the future of our Crystal Palace must be controlled by the joint efforts of the two of us and everyone." ”

After listening to Zhang Keming's words, Gong Qingguo took off his glasses, took them in his hand and carefully wiped them with a glasses cloth, he thought for a while and said: "With my understanding of the history of maritime warfare, I think the best defense at sea is to attack, because the vast sea does not have so many complex terrain on land, and many strategies and tactics can be used to carry out various tactical maneuvers and battles. This is also a strong proof of why the West's technological superiority has been able to dominate the world at sea for hundreds of years, so I think we should not strengthen defense, but should strengthen the research and development of offensive means, this strategy is the opposite of yours, I hope you can carefully consider it, and then we can determine a really reasonable strategic direction. ”

Listening to Gong Qingguo's suggestion, Zhang Keming was surprised, after all, he is not a military strategist, but what Gong Qingguo said is reasonable, and after pondering carefully for a long time, he knew that this was a critical choice, and then asked Gong Qingguo cautiously: "With our strength, I don't think it is difficult to hide and defend the surrounding area, but when it comes to attacking, I think there is still a lot missing, take Tong Jiwu's last battle example, although he used the advantage of the hummingbird to sink several provocative nuclear submarines, but it was carried out in a specific environment, The forms and weapons of war are extremely diverse, and according to our current equipment, submarines, airplanes, and missiles can all be dealt with, but huge warships at sea are very difficult to deal with without weapons of considerable power, and the tremendous damage caused to us by primitive depth charges is a good example. If there is a good way, I can certainly agree with you that offense is the best defense. ”

Gong Qingguo walked to the side of the drink machine, took two glasses of juice, handed a cup to Zhang Keming, who was staring at him anxiously waiting for his answer, and then took a few sips and said: "We are not a country, nor an army, our strength is indeed very limited, but our advantage is also obvious, that is, 'small', small enough to be able to come and go without a trace, and many of the technical advantages we have accumulated have not been used in the military, but now time is pressing, the emergency team led by Feimeng will soon arrive near the earth, and we know that he will let three ships." The mothership Dreadnought stays on the far side of the moon and uses the MSI Hummingbird A-20 and Hummingbird A-30 for emergency interventions, but what is the real killer feature? I believe that he will not use the powerful Q bombs, and may not even carry them, but war is not child's play, simply shooting down a few enemy fighters, a few nuclear submarines will not scare the enemy away, that will inevitably become a war of attrition, and only country A likes a war of attrition, because they think that this is another form of consumption, and consumption is the power source of their development. ”

Zhang Keming listened to Dr. Gong Qingguo's analysis with great interest, and when he saw that he seemed to have only said half of what he said, he asked anxiously: "Where else?" You've got an idea, tell us about it! ”

Looking at Zhang Keming, who has always been serious but now he is a little breathless, Gong Qingguo smiled, gently patted Zhang Keming's hand on the table and said: "Don't worry, old friend, we have been working together for more than ten years, don't you know my character, since the problem has been raised, there must be a way to solve the problem, of course, whether it works or not, it needs to be tested in practice." ”

Zhang Keming picked up the juice he put in his hand and drank a few big sips, and said anxiously: "Then you can say it quickly, when is it, and it will be sold!" ”

"Okay, I continued, just talked about the advantages of 'small', now I will talk about one of my new technologies, for marine research, I originally designed a blister submersible, you should remember this, its working principle is to form a layer of bubble film around the submersible, so that the submersible in the water driving state is close to the environment in the air, thus greatly improving the underwater diving speed, but later because the MSI hummingbird series is very successful in underwater use, this project has not continued. What I want to say is that we can use this principle to transform more than 100 hummingbird A-20s in our Crystal Palace to solve the problem of laser use underwater, we only need to form a stable bubble or bubble layer in the upper part of the hummingbird A-20, and the laser cannon or laser cutter can easily cut all the metal in the water, now you understand my intentions, obviously, if we can continue to cause the sinking of large attack ships, and the other party can't find us, This is much simpler, more concealed and more cost-effective than an attack with proton torpedoes, and it will not last long, and the enemy's huge fleet will have to abandon the operation, because no one is afraid of fighting, but no one is afraid of being beaten and not finding an opponent. ”

After Zhang Keming heard Gong Qingguo's idea, he immediately opened his mouth, and he said happily: "Great, I also hope that our undersea city can help Feimeng and them, this time, we will now start to transform all of our nearly two hundred hummingbird A-20s, forming a stable bubble It may be a little difficult in pure seawater, but if it is between two objects, there are still many easy ways." Great, let's get moving, let's get our Crystal Palace back to life, the neutrino communication system upgrade is about to be completed, and when the communication restrictions are lifted, I'm going to tell Faimon and the rest of the 'Group of Five' about our plans as soon as the communication restrictions are lifted. ”

Looking at Zhang Keming, who has rarely been so happy in recent days, Gong Qingguo also smiled happily, he knew that his thinking in the past few days had not been in vain, and the Crystal Palace would also glow with new brilliance.
