Chapter 127: Accumulate food and slowly become king! Copying a destroyer? Is this a littoral assault ship?
The next day.
It's past nine in the morning in the small town of Livermore, and the sun is still scorching.
Pedestrians walked in a hurry, unwilling to stay outside for even one more minute.
Outside a fried chicken restaurant.
After Parker and Buller finished delivering a takeaway fast food order, they were squatting outside the store to rest briefly.
"I'm so tired."
Parker wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the few US dollars in his hand: "What we need to run for an hour to earn, those 'capitalists' may earn hundreds of times in one second."
"No wonder the sources of capital in the world are oppression and exploitation"
For this sentence, Parker, the little fat guy, now fully understands its true meaning.
Not only was it exploitation, but several kilograms of fat were cut off from his own body.
"Let's have something to eat first. I'll have to deliver some orders later."
Buller brought two sandwich loaves and two bottles of Coke.
This is an expiration date food that is on sale in the supermarket. It is basically sold at a price of 0.5 US dollars, but the Coke is purchased at the original price.
As for why you don’t drink water?
Who dares to drink the tap water here in Yingjiang? I'm afraid the 'heavy metals' in it are not exceeding the standard. If you drink a few more sips, the subway security might not let you in.
Since the prices of Coke and bottled water are almost the same, most people will naturally choose this sweet Coke or drink large barrels of purified water.
The two of them have not forgotten what they want to do, so occasionally people will come to them with red books to ask questions, and both Parker and Buller will "generously give" answers in all aspects.
However, the job of running errands and delivering food cannot be thrown away. After all, they have no assets, and they have not received any funding from those 'followers'. If they don't do this job, they will not wait until the revolution is successful. It's time to starve to death.
The other side.
A 'middle-aged white man' standing in a hidden place couldn't help but nodded while watching this scene.
He came forward, patted Bueller on the shoulder and said, "If you think so, then I'll be relieved."
"You are doing an excellent job, even better than I imagined."
The expression on Lu Ze's face was very pleased.
This pair of 'crouching dragon and phoenix' that he accidentally discovered may give the world a bigger surprise.
It's not just making waves here in Yingjiang, it's more likely to stir up a super storm.
moment.
Looking at the 'strange uncle' in front of them, the two of them began to look excited.
"Sir, what should we do next according to what you said?" Buller's eyes were firm.
"Are you asking us to complete a task? Or are you asking us to read some books?"
Parker added next to him.
Both of them thought that this time 'Lu Ze' came to look for them to arrange the next task that needed to be completed.
However, 'Lu Ze' shook his head decisively and stared at the 'black and white pair' in front of him: "It is neither to assign tasks, nor to ask you to read books."
"Do what you want to do, and don't always stop at the first step."
The current theoretical foundations of Buhler and Parker are relatively solid, and no matter how many books they read, it will not have any effect on them.
What they need is their own insights, to truly experience everything and understand every aspect of this society, only then can they confirm the answers in the book and find their own path.
"You have passed the preliminary test and become a candidate member." Lu Ze took out a paper bag from his jacket pocket and handed it to Buhler: "This is five thousand US dollars, which is the funding given to you by the 'organization' .”
"But...we shouldn't ask for this money."
Buller frowned and hesitated.
Looking at the thick paper bag in his hand, he wanted to return the money.
Without merit or reward, he is unwilling to accept 'aid' or 'charity' from anyone.
Even though the 'strange middle-aged uncle' in front of him can be regarded as his guide, the money is really hard to come by.
Even Parker on the side had the same attitude.
However.
"This is not a 'charity', this is a light of progress."
"Take it, no matter how tough a warrior is, it's impossible for him to go to the battlefield on an empty stomach." Lu Ze shook his head with a smile.
This is just a living fund for the two people's activities. After all, printing pamphlets costs money, and organizing and mobilizing also costs money.
You can't always waste time on food delivery just for the sake of food and clothing. This is a kind of behavior that is not worth the gain.
Just as Lu Ze was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something: "There is one more thing I want to give to you!"
Parker couldn't help but ask: "Sir, what is it?"
"Build walls high, accumulate grain widely, and become king slowly!"
The most important thing now is to accumulate strength. The two of them must not be wiped out.
Once the fire of hope is extinguished, it will take a long, long time to ignite it again.
After Lu Ze finished speaking, he turned his back and said something that only two people could hear:
"Davarisi, I wish you success!" "We remember it!" Buller and Parker nodded seriously with their eyes shining brightly.
These few sentences are the most suitable strategic formation for their current situation.
Time flies by slowly, and the calendar pages turn over.
In the past few days, the whole world seems to have collectively fallen into a rare state of 'silence', but beneath the calm water, an unusual storm is obviously brewing.
At this moment, the date came to Saturday.
Bay Area, San Francisco.
Lu Ze still drove Lucy's old Beetle, and he walked from the LLNL laboratory to a port in fear, and finally arrived safely.
Today is the Navy Open Day that Lu Ze has been waiting for for a long time. The place is also crowded with people like last time.
Even worse. After all, this time is during the summer vacation of Quan Yingjiang, and many families will take this opportunity to travel with their children.
The ant-like crowd filled the entire port.
"Lucy, follow me and don't run away."
Lu Ze held Lucy's hand tightly, fearing that she would run to a food stall without noticing and refuse to leave.
"Okay, I get it."
Lucy nodded and looked around.
She wanted to see if the 'panda' who paid twenty dollars for a photo last time came to the open house, and she wanted to take a few more photos.
Just after entering the port area, Lu Ze raised his head and saw a ship with 'DDG-99' printed on it.
This destroyer is the main purpose of his coming here this time, the Burke-class destroyer 'Farragut'.
Next to this destroyer is its old partner, the Ticonderoga-class cruiser.
At the last Navy Open Day, it was the same two ships. Except for the change of the 'hull number' on them, there was no other difference.
However, Lu Ze has no interest in this Ticonderoga-class cruiser.
After all, even Yingjiang is about to retire this thing. Unless he runs out of copies, there is no need to copy it at all.
Sir, what age are you in? What about playing cruisers? This world is no longer the age of cannons and giant ships!
No matter how far your cannon fires, can it be farther than my ship-borne missiles?
Looking at this Burke-class destroyer, Lu Ze thought to himself.
‘I didn’t have the chance to copy last time, so I can’t let you go this time! ’
This is a "big toy" with a single ship cost of 1.8 billion US dollars. How many achievement points will be awarded for this?
Just when Lu Ze followed the crowd and planned to land on the destroyer to visit and make a copy.
Suddenly while waiting in line, he discovered a very strange phenomenon.
"Lucy, do you have any equipment over there to attend the open day on the other side??"
"Why are there so many people running over?"
Lu Ze pointed at the crowd in the distance and asked with confusion.
Because the middle was obscured by some buildings and warehouses, he couldn't see clearly what was on the other side.
But it can be clearly seen that the crowd on the ground is mostly facing the other direction of the port. This is completely different from the last time I attended the open day.
I heard this doubt.
Lucy thought about it carefully, searching the memories in her mind.
After dozens of seconds, he finally remembered: "It seems that a ship will temporarily visit the other side of the port, and there will also be a short opening time."
"That's why these people swarmed and went to visit."
"A ship is visiting temporarily?" Lu Ze was a little surprised: "What ship is so popular?"
Is there any ship more popular than the Burke-class destroyer?
Is it an aircraft carrier? impossible!
Currently, the aircraft carriers of Yingjiang are either waiting for maintenance in the dock, or they are busy patrolling the world and acting as the world's "police". How can they have time to participate in any naval open day?
The next generation of Burke-class destroyers, the Zumwalt-class, has not yet been completed, let alone it!
As for nuclear-powered submarines, etc., that is not an option for an open day.
Before he could figure it out, Lucy gave the answer.
"It looks like the Wasp."
Hearing this answer, Lu Ze's face was full of confusion: "Wasp? Didn't that thing sink long ago?"
When he thought of the Hornet, the first impression that came to his mind was naturally the York City-class aircraft carrier Hornet in World War II.
However, Lucy decisively denied this statement: "No, it's the Wasp-class Wasp!"
Wasp class?
Suddenly, Lu Ze reacted.
In addition to the aircraft carrier named the Hornet, Eagle Sauce also has another ship called the Hornet!
He finally understood why these people swarmed away.
"Holy shit, are you talking about the amphibious assault ship Wasp?"
"It also participates in the open day?"
A violent surprise filled Lu Ze's heart.
Amphibious assault ship!
It also has another name, that is, a helicopter carrier!
This kind of thing actually participated in this Navy Open Day?
