Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 995 Mercury Fleet
On the "Lanshi Ship", almost all the observers lowered their heads, looking at things that looked like tiles.

In fact, it is much larger than ceramic tiles. One piece is several square meters and the gaps are fine, but it really feels like ceramic tiles.

Zhou Rui did not take the initiative to explain the abnormality of the warship. On the surface, he had nothing to do with the Four Symbols Invisibility. This was a stricter secret than "intelligent mechanical warfare" and "aerospace fighters".

After carrying a group of observers, the "Lanshi" set off from the port and headed towards the eastern part of Ryukyu.

This time, the "performance" takes place in the deeper Pacific Ocean.

This location choice seems to be a manifestation of power radiation.

French observer Ophir came up to Zhou Rui again. After a series of shocks yesterday, he had forgotten to talk to Master Zhou. Today, as they were traveling on the sea, he had a rare chance of free time.

"Mr. Zhou, can you sign an autograph for me? My daughter is your supporter and she begged me for it all night."

Zhou Rui, wearing sunglasses, was playing with the electric lighter in his hand. He smiled and said, "No problem. Where do I sign?"

Ophir handed over his notebook, and Zhou Rui wrote his signature in an artistic style.

He has two sets of signatures, one is for work, which cannot be left with anyone else, and the other is this one.

To be honest, he couldn't even recognize himself.
But I don't think a French person would recognize it.
After putting away his notebook, Ophir said, "Are your products also participating today?"

Zhou Rui: “Yes, we have quite a lot of products.”

Orphiel thought that this man had finally revealed his true colors. When Master Zhou announced his entry into the weapons field, it caused quite a stir.

"Except for the 'Defense 01-UAV Combat Platform', all your products are not disclosed or sold to the public. I wonder if Mr. Zhou has any plans for this in the future?"

Zhou Rui raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you really want me to sell it? Who would be the best person to sell it to?"

Ophir was suddenly speechless.

He was not a radical by nature. After all, he came from a country with a "strong martial virtue". In his opinion, the best use of weapons was to maintain balance and security.

But all the things of enlightened intelligence cause too much disruption to the balance.

Especially for small countries, their troops are no more than 10,000 and their vehicles are no more than 100, and many of them are still using equipment from the World War II era.

The most important thing is that it is "not stable enough". If a small country obtains Master Zhou's weapons, there is no guarantee that some of them will suddenly cause trouble.

As for the big countries, although France is relatively neutral, it is still in the Western camp. 80% of the big countries in the world are in the Western camp. Why would the other party sell to the opponent? Just to make money?
If he had to say something, it seemed that only the goose was suitable, but as a European, this was something he absolutely did not want to see.

After a while, he shook his head and said, "No, I was just talking too much."

It is better not to do it, not for a long time, since France is far away anyway.
Zhou Rui turned around and didn't continue asking questions. He came here as a stooge, not to answer questions.

In fact, the situation is far more complicated than Ophir thought. Overly advanced weapons can break the balance.

You can also balance whatever you want, and create a new balance if it's unbalanced.

The journey seemed to be much longer than expected, and it took more than three hours to arrive.

A piece of ocean without any reference points, roughly located about a hundred kilometers east of Ryukyu.

In addition to the "Lanshi Ship" that has just arrived, there are seven or eight ships of different sizes, including 10,000-ton destroyers, frigates, and even electronic reconnaissance ships and supply ships.

As for the "Liao Province Number" that Zhou Ruilai had seen from afar when he came, it did not appear today.

The "Lanshi Ship" did not enter the formation, but cut into the formation track at a parallel angle, maintaining a distance of one or two kilometers.

The observers all stood on one side of the deck, waiting for the funeral to begin.

Compared with yesterday's land-based funeral rehearsal, the pace at sea was much slower. Firstly, the distance was too large, and secondly, the "ammunition" was much more expensive.

We can't just keep bombing like we did yesterday. It's too expensive.

Any D bullet fired is equivalent to sinking a house in Beijing/Shanghai into the Pacific Ocean.
So we have to be quiet, we have tomorrow's project.

The command system gradually began to work. In places that the observers could not perceive, various departments were constantly being mobilized and receiving various instructions.

Observers could even see the marines from the opposite fleet busy on the deck.

After adjusting for more than ten minutes, the broadcast finally sounded on the deck of the "Lanshi Ship". "The funeral drill has officially begun. All units are ready."

"Project One: Stealth Cruise, countdown five seconds."

"543"

The observers had not yet realized what the broadcast meant.

Is it to keep the signal silent?
I know the seaside area will be a little calmer, but this is too calm.
Are they observing loneliness?

The next moment, a ripple swept across the surface of the warship formation in the distance, and all of them changed from iron gray to mirror color.

Damn it? !
Although there was no sound and their ears were filled with sea breeze, they automatically simulated the "buzzing" sound of electric current in their minds.

Or the swish sound of light waves in science fiction works.

From a distance, it looks like a fleet of mercury.

The team of nearly a hundred observers exclaimed in surprise.

And that’s not all. The “Lanshi” that was carrying them also turned into a mirror color, as if a light wave had scanned past.

The suspicious iron-gray "tiles" on the ground turned into a mirror color, which scared several observers so much that they jumped up with their feet off the ground. Some even stepped backwards to avoid this change, only to find that the entire ship was the same.

Soon someone realized that this was the opponent's famous stealth technology, which could make most radars in the world as blind as blind people.

But. Isn't this used on airplanes?
Have you brought the entire battleship aboard?
I know you must have modified this ship, but isn't a stealth battleship too much?

How much does this cost? Are Chinese smokers so strong?

In fact, the Four Symbols Stealth is really not expensive, at least in the military field, it is considered very cost-effective.

Zhou Rui stepped on the "mirror floor tiles" under his feet. It was the first time he saw them. These should be part of the "Grindstone Project". He had not participated in it. It was developed with the assistance of the "Four Symbols Research Institute".

Well, it is now called "Zhou Han Research Institute"
Although the Four Symbols stealth has become a bit outdated after the emergence of Liu Yao, and the shielding force field is obviously more suitable for warships than the external surface stealth, it is precisely because of this that the stealth warships are pulled out for display.

This is still a very exaggerated "disclosure".

I sighed in my heart that my home was so spacious this time.

The tile-like gaps on the deck are caused by a waterproof hard composite material developed specifically for ships.

Compared with the side that is not often "used", personnel and equipment on the deck are frequently transferred. Although the Sixiang materials are not expensive, they may also be damaged and fail. We can't just tear down the entire side and rebuild it if there is only one damaged spot, right?
The warship would then lose its proper function and become an expensive and troublesome piece of goods, just like the Zumwalt-class destroyer, which is good-looking but useless.

Therefore, the deck adopts an easy-to-replace splicing method, so if any part is broken, it can be replaced quickly.

To put it simply, it is just laying tiles one by one.

And the effect
The enemies of battleships mainly come from enemy ship missiles, aircraft missiles, and submarines. The first two rely on radar, and the latter relies on sonar, but sonar is only for detection, and the attack is basically still missiles.

(Torpedoes are used less and less. They are slow, have a short range, and are easily detected and evaded. Only submarines are equipped with them as a last resort for close combat.)
In the Four Symbols stealth mode, the warship cannot fly close to the enemy like an airplane without being detected, but on the scale of the ocean, the possibility of being locked at a long distance is reduced by 97%, while it can normally lock onto enemy ships. This is also a terrible generation gap.

A stealth warship can completely empty its own ammunition from 800 miles away, and then sail away without even looking back to see the explosion, while the enemy ship can only take the beating and risk its life to challenge the interception successfully.

Brackets - the interception success rate will not be high. Take the 052C as an example. It is equipped with hypersonic missiles, and the missiles themselves are stealth.

The "Whetstone" program launched several years ago has basically completed its historical mission, covering the military-industrial system in all aspects and creating a unique "invisible war" model in the world.

Previously, as a trump card, naval warships no longer docked at civilian ports for people to visit. Now Xiao Tiantian has become Mrs. Niu and is pulled out for everyone to see.

The observer from the "Austrian" side couldn't help but lower his head and touch the "mirror tiles".

Actually, I didn't figure out anything, but.
Well, our own trade routes should be quite safe.
The "Austrian" observer smiled.

This person needs to be flexible in thinking and take a step back to see the bigger picture.

As for the observers from small countries, I’m sorry, they are so far behind in terms of their ancestors that all they need to know is to be awesome.
