Chapter 251 Lucy’s true identity! The second B-2, pack up all Yingjiang's weapons!
(modified)
Looking at the spectacular scene in front of them and the 'plane' that was cruising back, everyone's hearts were filled with passion.
In the past, 'small drones' could only carry out sneak attacks or launch attacks when they were unprepared.
At the same time, the firepower it carries is at best a few grenades and a few hundred grams of explosives. Although it can cause losses to the enemy, it can only temporarily delay the opponent's progress.
Once they encounter a large-scale armored march or a large-scale attack, they still have no power to fight back.
But this kind of 'aircraft' is different. It is an absolute deterrent. It can drop several micro-missiles from hundreds or thousands of kilometers away, giving you a fatal blow.
"We need more of these 'drones', no matter what the cost."
"We in Gaza, we in Palestine, need this kind of weapon!" Faso Alonka looked at the liaison officer on the side and trembled as he uttered a few words through his teeth.
If one 'unmanned aircraft' is so terrifying, then if there are ten or more than a hundred of them, what kind of terrifying effect will it have?
As long as he has more of these 'bombers', he has absolute confidence that he can turn the situation around.
At this moment, the Slipper Army also sent good news to Persia, using the latest 'unmanned bomber' to successfully destroy several designated enemy targets, and also requested more support.
Therefore, Persia has been anxious to order more of this weapon during this period.
After all, this is what you use to catch squid! ! This is the real excitement!
At the same time, on the other side.
Livermore, at around nine o'clock in the morning, people were coming and going throughout the LLNL laboratory.
It is still the exclusive sofa position for the two of them,
"Lucy, I'm going out first."
While Lucy was immersed in the game world, Lu Ze said something and walked out.
He planned to circle the entire laboratory and hunt for treasures here to see if there were any new gadgets that could be copied.
After all, it has entered a new week. Not only has the 'number of copies' been refreshed, but also the 'borrow' permission, so it's time to spend it.
Walking in various areas of the laboratory, Lu Ze looked at each technological item and began to comment on it.
‘‘In situ electron microscopy’’? This copy passed PASS! ’
''M270 Rocket Launcher''? What kind of antique is this? Why is this thing placed in a B-level area? Get it thrown away quickly! ’
‘If this one doesn’t come in handy, I’ll PASS it! ’
‘.’
In a moment, Lu Ze had visited almost all the B-level and C-level areas that he could enter, but he didn't find anything that satisfied him.
It wasn't until he visited most of the LLNL laboratory that he finally arrived at the maintenance center, a remote location, but he couldn't find anything that could be called 'top technology'.
"It seems that this time it will be in vain again." Lu Ze sighed secretly.
But he didn't feel too sad. In the laboratory, not only did "top-level technological items" happen once a day, but Lu Ze would do it two or three times a week. In most cases, he would come back empty-handed. .
Just when Lu Ze was about to return home, suddenly this time.
After several rounds of physical transformation, he had very good eyesight. From a distance of hundreds of meters, he could see a certain dark thing in the warehouse of the maintenance center.
With its triangular layout and pitch-black appearance, any military fan will be able to recognize at a glance what the hell this is!
"Damn it, why is there another B-2 bomber here in the laboratory?" Lu Zedun's eyes suddenly lit up.
Who wouldn't want such a thing? I just ask that the more the merrier!
Read this.
He walked over decisively and said hello to several staff members nearby.
Since Lu Ze and Lucy often come here to play and hang out, these staff members have long been accustomed to his arrival.
After all, if such a big aircraft is placed here, unless someone deliberately sabotages it, basically no one will pay much attention to it.
Could it be that someone could steal the 'B-2 bomber' right in front of their eyes?
Lu Ze put his hand directly on its shell and waited for a few seconds. He walked around it casually and counted down five numbers in his heart: '531! ’
In an instant, a conspicuous light curtain popped up on the eyeball, and several prompts were reflected in front of his eyes.
[Current technological item: B-2 ‘Washington Ghost’! 】
[Value achievement points: 35,000. 】
[Please choose whether to copy. 】
Looking at the name displayed above, Lu Ze's face was filled with confusion, and ten thousand question marks suddenly emerged in his heart.
It's not because of those 35,000 achievement points. Repeatedly copied technological items will be reduced according to the threshold, so the reduction of this 'B-2' from the original 50,000 to 35,000 is very reasonable.
What shocked him was the name of this ‘B-2’ bomber!
"It's actually the Washington Ghost?? How could it be this 'B-2' bomber?"
After taking a look at the number on the tail of the aircraft, it was indeed '88-0332' corresponding to the Washington Ghost. There was no mistake.
But this shouldn't be the case. If he remembered correctly, this thing would have been seriously damaged due to an engine fire during a flight training in February 2010, and would have lost any repair value.
Why did it appear in the maintenance center of LLNL laboratory in advance?
Now that it has been re-maintained, why will this 'B-2' still have a major accident and catch fire in February next year?
"Is it possible that the internal components had aged a long time ago and were not discovered by the maintenance department at that time, which led to the fire?"
"So even if it has been maintained according to routine, it cannot change its fate of being damaged by fire." Lu Ze secretly guessed.
This is also the most reasonable guess. Later B-2 bombers often have minor accidents. The most common one is due to the carelessness of the Eagle Air Force. The hydraulic oil sensor was damp and damaged and was not discovered, leading to mechanical failures, etc. .
Not only was the maintenance careless, but the ground crew was also not responsible for the maintenance of the 'B-2'. They even incorrectly corrected the pressure sensor parameters in order to force the takeoff, including the B-2 bomber that crashed in 2008. There is a high probability that these incidents a reason.
However, fortunately, every item embodied in the system was restored to its initial factory state, so he did not need to worry about this problem.
‘Use ‘borrow’’” Lu Ze muttered silently.
If this is not copied, this thing will be out of print in a few months.
【bite! ‘Borrow’ was used successfully! 】
[35,000 achievement points have been deducted and the following items have been obtained: B-2 ‘Ghost Bomber’*1 (stored in the space inventory)]
‘It’s done! ’ Lu Ze left the maintenance center without looking back.
Walked on the way back.
[Daxia was invited by Yingjiang to participate in the ‘Asia-Pacific Joint Maritime Security Exercise’! 】
He looked at the news coming from Daxia, and there was more than a murmur in his heart.
"What exactly are you going to do?"
"Isn't it too late to conduct exercises with Yingjiang?" Lu Ze touched his chin and kept thinking about what Daxia's intentions were.
For now, it is probably very difficult for the weapons and equipment he has given to deal with Yingjiang's navy. Even adding this B-2 bomber will not help.
Not to mention facing the terrifying lineup of the entire Eagle Navy!
Even the Seventh Fleet, which is stationed in Asia, has a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, 3 cruisers, 20 guided missile destroyers and frigates, as well as several amphibious assault ships and landing ships. A huge fleet strike group.
With Daxia's current naval strength, it can only be said to have a slight "advantage" against the Seventh Fleet.
As for the entire Pacific region, the most powerful Third Fleet is at the center. This Third Fleet is much more powerful than the Seventh Fleet.
Not counting "destroyers", "cruisers", etc., just the number of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, the entire Third Fleet has five aircraft carrier strike groups composed of five nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.
Although Daxia has nothing to fear from the Seventh Fleet, facing the apparent strength of the entire Pacific Fleet, the two sides are not opponents at the same level at all.
"It seems that I still have to get some more good things for Daxia."
"You can also hand over the remaining weapons and equipment." Lu Ze muttered to himself.
He also has several large ships on hand, all of which were double rewards obtained by using ‘multiplying copy’ before, and they can be delivered after a period of time.
It was not handed over all at once because Lu Ze felt that it was too urgent to deliver too many ships at once. Just starting the sea trial would take a lot of time, not to mention a large number of elite crews.
But now, they no longer care about that much. Regardless of whether it has enough crew members and soldiers, let Daxia Mingmian's strength increase first.
But this is far from enough. Ying Jiang has seven fleets under his command, a super luxurious fleet composed of eleven nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.
Just two or three aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships cannot change the overall situation at all.
He must get a 'Nimitz-class' nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and get more good things.
The next day, Xia Ke Academy, in the dean's office.
The two old men were lying on the table, holding pens and signing documents sent from below.
In the heated room, not only did it not feel cold, but it was so hot that I only needed to wear a jacket.
Just when the whole room was silent, Zheng Lixing raised his head and glanced at his old friend: "Old Zhang, when will our aircraft carrier Varyag be launched into the water?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yuli paused in his movements, thought for a while and said, "It's almost time. The whole process should be completed in a few months."
After having the '002' aircraft carrier in hand, the progress of the original 'Varyag' modification has naturally been significantly improved.
"Where is Lao Yue?" Zheng Lixing hesitated to speak.
What he really wants to know is the 'domestic aircraft carrier' that was independently built and developed by Daxia!
It will use electromagnetic catapult. After all, it already has a steam catapult aircraft carrier such as the 'Kitty Hawk', so it will naturally develop to a higher level.
What he is most urgent about now is to see that Daxia's aircraft carrier can also make dumplings, so that he can compete head-on with the Yingjiang Navy fleet.
Zhang Yuli put down the pen in his hand and a smile appeared on his face: "That guy Lao Yue said that the new aircraft carrier project is advancing very quickly and will only be faster than the reservation date."
"That's good." Zheng Lixing nodded with satisfaction.
He would be satisfied if he could quickly build a large aircraft carrier with electromagnetic catapult.
As for a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, this is not a simple thing and cannot be achieved overnight.
At this time.
The phone on the table rang, and after Zhang Yuli picked it up, the secretary's voice came: "Dean Zhang, Persian Ambassador to Xia, Ahmed Hassan invites you and Academician Zheng."
"Let's have dinner together at the State Guesthouse at eight o'clock in the evening." Hearing this.
The two old men looked at each other, and they could see the teasing in each other's eyes.
When you ask for a meeting at this time, you don’t need to ask too much to know, what does the other person really want?
Zheng Lixing whispered: "Old Zhang, do we want to show him off??"
However, getting a look of denial from Zhang Yuli, he said directly: "Xiao Li, tell Ambassador Hassan that I am inspecting below."
"Give him a message for me next week"
After a while.
Persian Embassy.
Ahmed Hassan listened to the reply on the phone, a trace of sadness flashed across his eyebrows: "We still have to wait for the opening of the International Arms Expo"
He has received this answer many times, and this is also the Nth time he has been rejected.
It's not that he doesn't want to go to the exhibition to buy weapons, it's just that it's too unsafe.
Who knows if the performance of the official foreign trade version has been weakened? Will the bomb load be reduced? Is it comparable to previous versions offered?
Even if what is provided to them is the foreign trade version, who knows whether the price will rise?
After all, a Scorpion unmanned cargo aircraft costing five million US dollars is too cheap, and the MQ-9 unmanned reconnaissance aircraft such as Yingjiang's can easily cost tens of millions of US dollars.
Even if this kind of 'long-range unmanned bomber' sells for 10 to 20 million US dollars, a lot of people will buy it.
"I still bought too little. I should have bought more." Ahmed Hassan muttered.
At that time, he should have made a direct purchase of several thousand aircraft. It was too late to regret it now!
Time passes slowly.
It's December soon, and it's getting colder even in Livermore, but unfortunately it doesn't snow here in the Bay Area.
Lu Ze was busy and continued to copy the high-tech list provided by Daxia, while occasionally copying some high-tech equipment.
However, he did not rush to submit it to Daxia, but waited for a suitable time, an excellent opportunity.
"Lu, did that guy Hassan Michael invite you to another laboratory again?" A loud voice came.
Needless to say, the only person in the entire laboratory who dared to call the mentor Hassan Michael by his first name, apart from Lucy, was the bald director of the HR Department, Kelly Siss.
As for the rest of the laboratory executives, they basically will not participate in these grassroots decisions.
"Well, but I don't want to go, I want to stay in the LLNL laboratory." Lu Ze nodded, his attitude was very gentle.
As a mentor, Hasen Michael is nearly fifty years old and has never been taken seriously in the LLNL laboratory. As a Slav, it is difficult to climb to a high position alone.
Therefore, he had no choice but to go to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, join a group with his Slavic friends to keep warm, and strive to shine and achieve results in the last minute.
This is also what most people do. For example, Ah San is famous for joining a group to keep warm.
There is a saying that goes like this: As long as there is one Ah San in the company, a group of Ah Sans will appear soon, until the entire company is full of Ah Sans.
Not only Ah San, but also Mexicans, Slavs and even Asians do this kind of thing.
However, Lu Ze was not very interested in going to Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and there was no high technology he desperately wanted there.
‘Even if you go to Oak Ridge Laboratory, you may not be able to come into contact with many good technological items’
‘And I have to start from scratch, which makes no sense at all. ’ Lu Ze muttered secretly.
He thrives in the LLNL laboratory, and his employee level is about to be promoted to B-level. Some B-level regional LLNL laboratories are also open to him.
Even with Lucy's blessing, it will be easier to access various high-tech technologies. Why bother to go to Oak Ridge when you are near?
What are the benefits of going to Oak Ridge?
Staying with Hasen Michael's group of Slavs would only make it more difficult to access high technology, and would also make others suspicious.
Could it be that I really want to do a project and contribute to Eagle Sauce? ? Just kidding, he just wants to cause more havoc to Yingjiang.
Listen to Lu Ze's decisive tone.
"Oak Ridge National Laboratory, their laboratory level is higher than ours."
"You will have more long-term development there." Kaili Sisi's eyes lit up, as if waiting for his next answer.
"I think my future in the LLNL laboratory will be brighter." Lu Ze still shook his head: "Why would you sacrifice the near for the far? I don't think there will be many good opportunities for me there."
If you go to Oak Ridge yourself, what kind of high technology can you copy?
He also wants to copy a few more B-2 bombers and F22 fighter jets. The wool here has not been finished, how can he just run away?
"Lu, you will definitely succeed." Kaili Sisi received a satisfactory reply and headed towards the top floor of the main building with satisfaction.
Looking at the retreating figure, Lu Ze's heart was still full of doubts.
Is this testing me? However, the test should have been done long ago? Could it be that there are some arrangements for him?
Before he could figure this out.
"The bald director is right, you can develop more projects in Oak Ridge."
Lucy sat next to him, put the juice directly on her chest, picked up the straw and drank.
Then he said: "Hassen will probably leave you alone. You can get better scientific research projects there."
For scientific researchers, their own abilities are important, but a good platform is also indispensable. If you stay in the LLNL laboratory every day and there are not many "resources" to share, it is difficult to achieve too high a result.
Lu Ze glanced at Lucy and couldn't help but sigh: 'Her talent is indeed innate, and ordinary girls simply can't use it. ’
Then, he touched her cute little head and said quietly: "But, I can't leave you behind, can I?"
"By then, you won't be able to see me once a month!"
Oak Ridge is not in the Bay Area, let alone California, but in Tennessee, which is two to three thousand kilometers away.
What would Lucy do if she ran there? You can't fly back to see her every weekend, right?
"It doesn't matter. I'll just follow you to Oak Ridge when the time comes."
Lucy said very nonchalantly.
It seems that the 'Oak Ridge National Laboratory', one of the highest sacred places in the eyes of Eagle Jam and even the world's scientific researchers, is a place that can be entered casually in her eyes.
Hear this.
"Lucy, what do you do at home?" Lu Ze asked in a low voice in her ear.
After knowing Lucy for so long, he still didn't know what Lucy's family did.
But on the surface, her status in the LLNL laboratory is extremely high, and no senior executive would dare to offend her casually.
I thought it should be a wealthy local family in California,
But even places as far away as Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, she looked disapproving of. This was not limited to one state.
Hearing this, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Lucy's face, and she said after a while: "My mother's family seems to have been mainly engaged in planting and animal husbandry for several generations, and has some assets in various states."
"My father's side seems to have been more influential since my great-grandfather."
"So everyone may be more afraid of me"
"Hiss" Lu Ze took a breath.
Although Lucy's description was very simple, he could still guess the rough life she was talking about.
Doesn't this scare you? Your family fired the entire LLNL laboratory, it was just a joke.
Her father's family is a wealthy political family with a history of more than 100 years. Her great-grandfather was already very influential. At that time, Yingjiang was probably still during the Civil War.
Your great-grandfather was one of the people who followed Lincoln to conquer the world, right?
Even Lucy's mother's family is not simple. Animal husbandry and planting are not things that can only be done by the big landowners.
For example, United Fruit claims that it is a fruit-growing company, but others own the army, control most of the plantations in Latin America and South America, and control the lifeblood of hundreds of millions of people. It can be said to be the real "Fruit Kingdom."
Can Yingjiang become a super wealthy family through farming and animal husbandry? Can a simple capital family do it?
This didn't follow Washington into the customs. I'm afraid this guy didn't get off the Mayflower ship, right?
However, this also explains why Lucy dislikes Financial Capital Group so much, and it is estimated that her family does not even like it.
After all, the main business of the Jews is in the financial industry, which is a major blow to the real industry, and it is also a resource plunder for the traditional Angsa political family, which is why both parties do not deal with it.
"The surname 'Hill' is probably not Lucy's real name." Lu Ze thought to himself.
This is not surprising. Western society has always used surname to determine a person's identity.
With Lucy's identity, she must use a less famous name outside, otherwise she will be in big trouble if she is really targeted.
After the brief shock, Lu Ze regained his composure.
"Just stay in Livermore, I like the environment here better."
"And I can play with you more here." Lu Ze ravaged her cheek.
He had already been mentally prepared for Lucy's identity and was not too surprised.
Anyway, no matter how high your status is, it is limited to Yingjiang or the Western World. As long as you follow him back to Daxia, you will be the foreign daughter-in-law of Lujiacun.
No matter who says it, it doesn’t matter!
"Yes." Lucy nodded happily.
She doesn't really want to go to a strange city and start her life again, which is also difficult for her.
However, Lu Ze would go wherever he went. Even if he returned to Daxia, she would follow him without hesitation.
At the same time, it will be December 3rd, Daxia time.
Under the expectations of many people, a seaside city in Guangnan Province, Daxia.
A grand exhibition is taking place, and that is the much-anticipated ‘International Arms Expo’!
