Laser lasers with a range of nearly a kilometer are still quite different from their propagation efficiency in the air.

However, it is already incredible to be able to achieve such a degree of laser propagation efficiency in the deep sea thousands of meters underwater!

For some of the technical terms described by Yarman, such as phased array sonic technology, and the phenomenon of breaking hydrogen bonds to turn water into a gaseous state.

Meng Lei didn't have enough knowledge of these things, so he heard them a little foggy.

However, this did not prevent him from being shocked by the achievements of Utu-Sirku Industries in the field of science and technology!

The laser turret, which has a range of nearly 1,000 meters, can be somewhat difficult to deal with large warships carrying long-range torpedo launchers.

But if it is used to defend against the attack of the alien sea monster, it is more than enough!

If this cannon goes down, no matter how dense the sea monster is, within a straight line of nearly a thousand meters, it will inevitably kill and injure!

A proper weapon of mass killing!

At this moment, just as Meng Lei was basking in the shock caused by the A3 fixed defense battery, Yarman spoke again.

"The bold imagination of these weapons is largely based on the perfection of nanoscale decomposition and 3D printing reconstruction technology.

Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to achieve large-scale manufacturing of such large-scale precision devices in the limited and tight space environment of the underwater gathering place.

And these two breakthroughs in the field of technology are also the main reason why our Utu-Sirku company can take root in the Eastern Hemisphere and develop so far! ”

Meng Lei nodded noncommittally, suddenly thought of a question, and asked:

"So...... The reason why those electromagnetic shells can have enough kinetic energy and impact force underwater is also based on similar technology? ”

This time, Yarman shook his head slightly.

But with a smile on his face, he patiently explained:

"No, no, no, the problem of underwater resistance of electromagnetic artillery shells is far easier to solve than that of laser lasers!"

As he spoke, Yarman took a puff of his cigar and then adjusted his sitting position so that the projection in the room could be more intuitively aimed at him.

He continued to enlarge the A3 fixed defense battery that Meng Lei had transferred out, revealing more details.

Then he pointed to a circle of large precision fittings around the fort and smiled:

"These are ultrasonic phased array probes that are used to form ultrasonic beam arrays, which are not currently available on submarines because of the power they consume during operation.

That is, large laser batteries with a range of up to a kilometer can only be used for the construction of gathering places.

However, for the physical shell of the electromagnetic cannonball, there is no need to open up a special air passage separately, and it is only necessary to adjust the structure of the projectile body to produce a layer of bubbles in front of it, and the supercavitation effect can be used to accelerate the operation of the cannonball in the water.

Not only is the range enough to meet the needs of ordinary combat, but the power will not be weakened too much! ”

After a pause, Yarman retracted his gaze, his gray eyes turned to Meng Lei again, and said with a slight pride in his tone:

"Of course, with phased array sonic technology, we can do so much more!

Properly adjusting the size and natural frequency of the projectile, combined with our ultrasonic beam technology, can greatly reduce the energy loss of the projectile!

In this way, it makes supercavitating ammunition more diverse, and even supercavitating shotgun, it is not impossible! ”

Speaking of which, Yarman's emotions were slightly agitated.

This agent of the arms dealer seems to have a special fanaticism for the company's weapons technology, or the art of war to be exact.

Speaking of which, the state of the whole person is a little different, and the mood is a little inexplicably excited.

"Captain Meng, just imagine, if we moved forward a little bit to adjust the area of the beam.

Then we can even break free from the shape of supercavitating ammunition, so that ordinary ammunition can also travel at high speed in the water, and even turn around!

At that time, all ammunition can be turned into guided munitions by regulating the blister area!

The wave-riding munitions that the company is now researching are to combine the shape design of the munition with the sonic technology, which can theoretically achieve sharp angle turns and launch attacks from unexpected places!

It's a pity that the success rate of simulation and sample firing has been too low.

Eventually...... It's still too hard......"

For a series of technical explanations thrown by Yarman's chatter, Meng Lei listened to it, and he didn't feel much other than he didn't know it.

After all, in front of these researchers, his level of knowledge is about the same as that of illiteracy.

However, I believe that if there is a scientist from Blue Star here, Yarman will definitely gain a loyal audience.

Thinking of this, Meng Lei's thoughts diverged, and some other thoughts suddenly appeared in his mind.

If you have the opportunity, can you send someone to infiltrate the Utu-Sirku company quietly to steal its relevant technical secrets?

Once this plan is realized, it will definitely play a qualitative role in the future development of the Chongming Fleet!

However, this thought only flashed in Meng Lei's mind.

During the 100-year development of the Utu-Sirku company in the alien world, the alliance must have also had the idea of this aspect.

Even the largest local government such as the Alliance cannot steal the company's core technology, but does it in the form of technology exchange, and it is easy for outsiders to infiltrate it.

These core technologies are the foundation of the major private arms dealers, and the relevant protective measures must also be heavily guarded.

Coupled with the special environment of deep-sea architecture, it is destined to be difficult to achieve from the outside.

But what if it was by other means?

For example, rebellion and co-optation?

Meng Lei went deep into the association and felt that it was not completely without opportunities, but it required a lot of time, energy and financial resources to plan deeply.

This is not something that will happen overnight, and it is still a little early to think about it.

At this time, Yarman's excited voice sounded again, pulling Meng Lei's thoughts back to reality.

"Come on, Captain Meng, let's move on to other weapons!"

The holographic projection in front of him changed, and Yarman took care of himself and called up another turret, showing it in Meng Lei's line of sight.

"This is a repeating gun created by our company and the Alliance, and at present, more than one-third of the independent gathering places in the Eastern Hemisphere have purchased the right amount from us!

And this kind of battery, which is also the one with the largest number of batteries currently in service in the Alliance, is the last line of defense to consolidate the security and defense of the gathering place!

This kind of repeated-fire revolver adopts the same technology as the ship-based machine gun turret, which is a dual hybrid of electrical energy and chemical energy, which can greatly alleviate the load on the circuit system caused by other high-power turrets in wartime.

After a few seconds of acceleration and warm-up, the turret can reach a peak fire projection of more than a dozen rounds per second!

The use of supercavitating munitions with built-in nano-metal powder thrusters, although the trajectory is not very stable, can cause strong fire suppression and good lethality against large-scale cluster targets at close range. ”

Meng Lei nodded thoughtfully and continued:

"I'm afraid the ammunition consumption of this kind of turret is also quite terrifying, right?"

"That's natural, and the materials used to make ammunition are more expensive!"

Yarman nodded heavily, took a deep breath, and turned to a smile that he deserved, and said:

"Still, for a suppressive firepower covering weapon, it's worth it!"

Meng Lei didn't speak, leaned back on the back of the sofa, flicked the cigarette ash with his left hand, held his right hand flat in front of his eyes, and with the swipe of his wrist and fingertips, the picture of the virtual projection changed again.

This time, a large cannonball appeared on the screen, nearly two meters long, thicker than an adult's thigh!

"It's ...... Railgun shells? ”

"Yes, Captain Meng!"

The excitement on Yarman's face never subsided, and he solemnly introduced:

"This railgun shell, which is still in the experimental stage, has not been officially sold to the outside world, it requires a large-caliber electromagnetic railgun launcher, and the conventional shipborne railgun launcher cannot be used.

The shell has a vacuum inside it and a steel column is suspended by a superconductor.

Before launching, the steel pillar will be quickly heated until it is close to melting, and after the launch, the cannonball will carry this thick and hot steel pillar and shoot fiercely into the monster's body!

The steel pillars can also be filled with uranium ore or other radioactive materials, turning them into depleted bombs.

Hey, hey, hey......"

A slightly hideous smile appeared on Yarman's face, he waved his hands, and said with an intoxicated gaze:

"When the time comes, the hot liquid and shrapnel will splatter out, cauterizing the monster's internal organs and creating a huge cavity effect, shattering the monster's body and destroying the monster's life force!

Even if it is a mature Moluoke, the skull will be easily lifted, and the lethality is amazing! ”

"However, this weapon has not yet been tested in the field, and the specific effect needs to be verified, but I believe that with the outbreak of space tides, it will soon be useful!"

Meng Lei took a breath quietly, and once again had a deeper understanding of the military technology of the Utu-Sierku Company.

There's a lot of content in the product list, and the level of complexity is simply dizzying.

After taking a general look twice, and having a relatively clear idea of the scientific and technological level and business scope of the Utu-Sierku Company, Meng Lei did not browse too carefully on the Fort page.

Next, he looked at the underwater operation equipment and individual weapons, etc., and found that what was normally sold by the alliance could be said to be similar to what was normally sold by the alliance.

It seems that Utu-Sirku has not put much effort into this.

The company's main business and the core direction of technological development are mainly aimed at industrial equipment and large defensive weapons that can bring great benefits and will not be sold by the alliance.

The positioning is very clear and clear at a glance.

Finally, Meng Lei set his sights on the submarine classification option, which is at the top of the list.

He can be said to have been fascinated by the content of this option for a long time, and he does not know if the Utu-Sirku industrial company has any unique achievements in the creation of submarines.

With a wave of the wrist, the image on the holographic projection changes again.

This time, the content is no longer as cluttered as before, but more detailed with seven levels of sub-options, from low to high.

Among them, the highest grade is A, and the lowest is G.

In each level classification, there are different product columns such as deep diving, attacking, and exploring.

Meng Lei did not hesitate, and directly clicked on the attack submarine column in the A-class list.

Suddenly, a super-large submarine with a strange shape and a pointed torpedo appearance appeared in front of him.

"Captain Meng, this submarine can be said to be the strongest submarine built by our Utu-Sierku company based on the cutting-edge technology excavated in the leveling area.

It belongs to the Tornado-class battleship, and in the entire shallow area, it is the best among the A-class battleships!

Compared with all A-class warships currently in service in the alliance, it is not inferior in terms of performance or firepower configuration.

Even with our processing improvements, the instantaneous peak firepower of this submarine is much more powerful than any A-class battleship in service in the Eastern Hemisphere of the Alliance!

This gives a large armed force such as the Separatist Group the capital to compete with the alliance from the roots.

It is also one of the biggest sources of revenue for our Utu-Sirku company. ”

Yarman did not shy away from introducing the company's unclassified trade secrets to Meng Lei, and frankly admitted the company's most profitable project.

Meng Lei didn't say much about this, just nodded lightly.

His gaze lingered for a long time on the details of the Tornado-class battleship, and he was slightly shocked in his heart.

Although he does not know what the specific parameters and standard configuration of the A-class warships currently in service in the alliance are.

However, taking the data of the Sea Locust as a reference, the gap between the A-class battleship and the F-class exploration ship is not an exaggeration to describe it as a chasm.

With a length of 246 meters, it is nearly five times the size of the Sea Locust.

Width and height aside, the displacement reached an suffocating 56,000 tons!

In terms of long-range shipborne weapons, it is even more exaggerated, with five large-caliber electromagnetic railgun launchers and two special built-in torpedo launchers.

That is, with full fire, the submarine can fire five electromagnetic shells in an instant, as well as two torpedoes.

This alone is five times more than the instantaneous burst of fire of the Sea Locust!

And that's not all, there are six rows of five-mounted electromagnetic batteries, and two rows of five-mounted continuous fire batteries at the beginning and end, plus the mixed three-pronged laser and electromagnetic gun batteries at the bottom of the submarine, almost the entire submarine is packaged into a hedgehog.

When the melee firepower is at full power, the instantaneous firepower peak, which is simply nerve-numbing!

Driving such a submarine, not to mention an ordinary sea monster, even if the Hammerhead Mother Emperor came with the whole clan, he was also killed by hanging and beating, and the nine clans could finish it for you in one go!

"Is this a Class A battleship? It's too explosive, right?! ”

Meng Lei was secretly frightened, and couldn't help but slander in his heart:

"Compared to the A-class battleship, the Sea Locust is like a toy, just like the gap between a fishing boat and an aircraft carrier, there is no comparison at all!"

This was the first time Meng Lei had come into contact with the top A-class battleship on another planet, and he couldn't help but refresh his cognition again.

However, thinking of what Yarman had just said, a trace of doubt came to his mind, and Meng Lei couldn't help but ask:

"You say that the instantaneous peak firepower of this submarine is more powerful than any A-class battleship in service in the Eastern Hemisphere of the Alliance?

Mr. Yarman, is that an exaggeration?

Although your company's technological level is unique, the Alliance, as an official regime, should not be much worse than yours, right? ”

Hearing this, Yarman smiled slightly.

Without waiting for him to give an explanation, Lanny, who had been listening silently beside him, suddenly interjected:

"Captain Meng, you don't know anything about this.

While the Alliance is capable of building submarines of the same size and firepower as our Tornado-class battleships, the design of such submarines is more offensive than defensive.

In terms of saving energy consumption, it is also slightly insufficient.

The standard submarines in service with the alliance are usually grouped operations due to the high demand.

Therefore, the pursuit of stability and sustainability is more than destined to focus on one aspect of performance. ”

After a pause, Lenny smiled:

"Of course, for some special cases, whether the Alliance's fleet has developed a special type of submarine that we don't know about, it's not for us to know.

But as far as the A-class series of warships announced by the alliance is concerned, our Tornado-class battleships definitely have an incomparable firepower advantage!

The separation organization also took a fancy to this and made a large purchase from us. ”

"The Breakaway Organization has procured a large number of Tornado-class battleships?!"

Meng Lei was slightly stunned when he heard this, and quietly kept this detail in his heart.

If what Lenny said is true, then the alliance is probably going to encounter a fierce battle this time, and it may not be able to use thunderous means to completely suppress the separatist organization.

In order to deal with this war, which may break out at any time, the separatist organization has obviously made a lot of preparations for a long time.

At this time, Yarman held a cigar between his fingers, leaned forward, looked at Meng Lei with gray eyes, and smiled:

"Captain Meng, although standard submarines are one of the most profitable projects in our company, we don't just sell finished products.

You can specify the appearance and performance of the submarine, including your preferences, according to your needs.

We have a professional R&D team that can design the special submarine you need based on the data you provide, and can also help you paint your fleet flag, as well as various colors and unit numbers on the submarine for free.

You can even have a special custom ride that is separate from the entire alien ocean!

For example, the exclusive submarine of Lindbergh, the leader of the Mochi Pirates, the only one in the A-class sequence with pure armor and maneuverability, is the work of our Utu-Sirkul company! ”

After a pause, Yarman withdrew his gaze, took a puff on his thick cigar, and said in a deep voice:

"From industrial development to fleet building, we have a complete industrial chain that can help you in all aspects!

This is something that no other company in the Eastern Hemisphere can do.

Even the Luke Arsenal, which has a long history, is not going to work.

Trust me, if you want to create a personal power independent of the Alliance,

We, Utu-Silku Industries, will definitely be the best partner for you! ”

Yarman's words fell, and Meng Lei also withdrew his gaze from the holographic projection in front of him, no longer looking at those strange and powerful large submarines.

To be honest, these things definitely have a huge attraction for him.

Putting aside its excellent performance and strong sense of security, I believe that there are few men who can resist the metal temptation of these steel beasts.

However, neither warships nor industrial equipment, with the current financial situation of the heavy fleet, simply cannot afford it.

The selling price of a high-end large-scale deconstructor is more than 500,000 marks!

And a battleship with an A-class serial evaluation is as high as tens of millions!

Even if several major fleets such as the Heavy Fleet and the Winter Fleet raise funds, it is estimated that they will not be able to buy a single engineering cabin on the ship, and at most they will buy a few crew rooms.

The content of such a large transaction with a single amount is not affordable at this stage.

The purpose of Meng Lei's coming here today is, simply put, to connect and communicate.

As long as you can catch this line, there will be a lot of opportunities to cooperate in the future, and you will not be in a hurry.

"Mr. Yarman, I have to admit that the wide range of your company's business scope and strength are indeed eye-opening!"

Meng Lei took a puff of his cigarette and first admitted his feelings calmly.

Then, with a touch of helplessness on his face, a trace of regret in his eyes, he spread his hands and said:

"However, as you know, the current situation of our fleet is just beginning, and we can only barely survive under the protection of the alliance, and the development space is extremely limited, in this case, we are not able to cooperate with your company at present.

I'm sorry to delay you for so long. ”

After speaking, Meng Lei bowed his head slightly to apologize.

Yarman waved his hand disapprovingly, stared at Meng Lei, and said with a smile:

"Captain Meng is too polite, the purpose of today's interview with you is just to make a friend, everyone to get to know each other, to facilitate future contact, as far as I am concerned, I didn't think that I could reach a deal today, let's come to Japan, there will be opportunities in the future!"

Yarman's purpose is the same as Meng Lei's, and it is exactly the same as Meng Lei's heart.

This is also expected, and Meng Lei is not surprised by this.

Then, Yarman said: "Your heavy fleet, in the 66671 channel, is currently the largest and most potential fleet, and the company is very optimistic about the future development prospects between us."

But ......"

Speaking of this, Yarman paused, then continued:

"Recently, there has been a lot of chaos, war is about to break out between the Alliance and the Separatist Groups, and the tide of space is coming, and the combination of various things will inevitably have a certain impact on your development trend, which will further affect the future cooperation between us.

Therefore, I intend to make a special application to the company to implement a support program for some potential high-quality customers.

Among them, including your heavy fleet! ”

Hearing this, Meng Lei's heart suddenly jumped.

Help, help again!

The Explorers are trying to help the potential Blue Star player group and create a supply system independent of the Alliance, and now even the private arms companies are ready to help a group of players and build individual armies that break away from the Alliance.

The forces of all parties are afraid that the alliance will not be chaotic enough, so they want to plug in it and completely collapse the stable political system of the alliance!

Meng Lei suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, this alliance is also unlucky enough.

has been dictatorial for so many years, and all of them are full of internal ghosts, and they don't even have a serious ally, so I wish the alliance was as chaotic as possible.

In this environment, it is not easy for the alliance to hold on for so long.

"Help-in-law program?"

Meng Lei calmed down his emotions, looked at Yarman meaningfully, and asked in a low voice:

"What is it exactly? How can I help? ”

Yarman shook his head and chuckled, and said with a sly expression:

"The specific plan is still being negotiated with the company, and there is no clear plan for the time being.

However, the general direction is very simple, it is nothing more than to provide you with a grant of assistance, give you an appropriate purchase amount, and help you get through the difficult entrepreneurial period first.

However, considering various uncertainties such as fleet mergers, annexations and disbandments, the company has not yet come up with a clear plan to solve this hidden danger.

At the same time, our agents also need to conduct a period of investigation for you, and give a more stable assessment data for the current development and future potential.

With this data as a backing, the company can determine the final plan. ”

Speaking of this, Yarman looked at Meng Lei, affirmed with a smile, and said calmly:

"In addition to your heavy fleet, some well-known fleets in this channel, including the Northern Underworld Fleet, the Deep Blue Fleet, and the Sunset Fleet, are all within our scope of investigation.

Of course, as far as the current situation is concerned, the assessment data of your heavy fleet is undoubtedly firmly in the first place! ”

After a pause, Yarman's eyes froze slightly, and an imperceptible light flashed in his gray eyes, and he continued:

"Now this situation, I hope you can keep it all the time, the best result is that you can swallow up all the other fleets, and in the future, you will only be left in the entire 66671 channel.

In this way, everyone will have peace of mind! ”

Yarman's words made Meng Lei's breath shorten slightly.

He could hear that the surging fierceness and murderous aura revealed by the other party's words seemed to be intentionally encouraging him to integrate the Blue Star players in the entire 66671 Channel into a single individual.

Meng Lei had never considered such an approach, but he could understand Yarman's behavior.

No matter how many fleets are scattered in a shipping lane, the overall absorption capacity remains the same, because the population ceiling is destined for productivity and the benefits that can be created.

Then in this case, the number of fleets is naturally as small as possible.

Not only can it reduce the transaction risk, but Yarman, the agent of the fairway, can also save a lot of energy.

Of course, this is for Utu-Sirku, but to be precise for Yarman personally, this is indeed the case.

For Meng Lei, whether to integrate all the fleets into one is undoubtedly not so important.

After all, he only needs to trade with Yarman personally.

However, as the fleet continues to grow, new blood must be injected into it.

Whether the Chongming fleet will eventually move towards annexation and domination, Meng Lei is not sure, at least for now, he cannot predict.

"Mr. Yarman, I will consider your suggestions carefully in combination with my own development!"

After a little hesitation, Meng Lei gave an ambiguous reply.

Then he asked, "Also, I wonder how long your inspection period will last?" When will the final assistance plan be implemented? ”

This issue is what Meng Lei is most concerned about.

The assistance given by the Utu-Sirku company will never be too small, at least it must start with millions of marks.

If it's lower than that, to be honest, there's no need for that at all.

The development of the major fleets for a period of time, the financial support of more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan can no longer be of much help, and if you want to maintain the upward development trend, you need more money to maintain.

And if the million assistance fund can be issued in the near future, it is best to catch up before the start of the voyage.

So for this trip to the hydrothermal wasteland, Meng Lei is undoubtedly more confident.

But unfortunately, Yarman shook his head when he heard this, showed a helpless expression, and pouted:

"I'm sorry Captain Meng, I can't give a definite answer to this question, but what I can be sure of is that the inspection period is at least one month away! The implementation of the specific plan will most likely be in a month. ”

Hearing this, Meng Lei also sighed helplessly, shrugged his shoulders and said:

"Well, in that case, let's wait until the plan is implemented, and then we can continue to talk about the next step of cooperation."

A month is enough time for a lot to happen.

Even the current population base of Blue Star players, including the number of members of the major fleets, may change dramatically in a month due to various reasons.

This change, on the whole, is bound to be on a downward trend.

Population growth is impossible in the short term, and some will only die!

Under normal circumstances, it is reasonable for Utu-Sirku to set such a long time limit for the expedition, but now it is an extraordinary time, and once the space tide breaks out, a large number of deep sea monsters pour into the safe passage.

When the time comes, God knows how many people will die!

However, these are not Meng Lei's concerns.

Being able to prostitute a start-up capital for nothing is just the icing on the cake for him, even without the support of Utu-Sirku, he will use his own way to improve the development of the fleet.

Although it may be a little tougher, isn't this another way to grow?

And, if you do the math, this trip to the hydrothermal wasteland will take almost a month.

If there are no accidents on the way, by the time you return, the inspection period should have passed.

When the time comes, with millions of eggs sold in his pocket, and then he gets the million-dollar assistance fund from the Utu-Sierku company, the plan to build a base can be immediately put on the agenda and seamlessly connected.

In this way, the Utu-Sirku company's support plan can be regarded as a relief in the snow.

The key is that being able to catch the line of Utu-Sierku Company will undoubtedly play a huge role in the construction of the base area in the future!

At least, Meng Lei no longer has to worry about the procurement channels of various industrial equipment in the base.

This is the biggest takeaway from meeting Yarman today!
