Great Power Technology

On the small island 200 kilometers away from 055D's location, several fishermen were looking blankly at the line where the sea and the sky meet in the distance.

Just now, they poured the last boatload of sand and gravel of the day into the sea, expanding the land under their feet to nearly 5 square meters.

This is an amazing achievement, because since China's coast guard ships began routine patrols, the area of ​​​​the island has not exceeded two square meters.

Either the coast guard ship will come over today to wash it, or tomorrow their fishermen will pass by and dig a few shovels. A lot of the sediment they worked so hard to pull over will be taken away by the other side's fishermen and used as ballast stones in the boat. .

A fisherman took out a cigarette from his pocket, took a deep breath, and then asked:

"You think they won't really fire the shells here, right?"

The companion on the side shook his head and replied firmly:

"How is that possible! The exercise area they draw each time is huge, and the outer perimeter cannot be touched at all."

"Don't worry, the news we received this time is that the thing they want to test seems to be a new type of artillery. How far can the artillery's range be? A hundred kilometers would be amazing."

"We are still two hundred kilometers away from them. What are they shooting with? It must be artillery-launched missiles! Since it is a missile, what is there to worry about? It's not like you haven't seen the accuracy of their missiles, let alone two kilometers Even if it's 20 meters away, it can't hit us."

"I'm afraid it won't work at twenty meters. It will explode."

".I'm just giving you an example! You idiot! Well, raise our drone and fly it higher. Let me see what tricks they are doing."

After hearing his words, the companion on the side quickly took out a sealed box from the water. After opening it three times, he took out a four-copter drone from inside.

The three letters "DJI" are clearly written on the fuselage of this drone.

"Captain, what are we using the drone to see? We can't see their warships even though they are two hundred kilometers away."

"You are really an idiot! Am I asking you to see a warship? That thing looks like a spy. Do you dare to see it? What I want you to see is their target! Just see clearly what they use to hit the target!"

The captain's face showed the anger that hates iron. When facing his subordinates, he always felt a suffocating feeling that his IQ was lowered.

For example, when the coast guard ship came to warn them before, I had clearly told the group of people in advance that I was just a fisherman who came to fish and take a rest, and that I had to wait here because the boat was broken.

The sea area they are in is the high seas and is not under the jurisdiction of any country. Therefore, the reason for their people to fish here is very valid - to put it at the very least, even if it is clear that they want to watch the fun, no one can Blocking, after all, the high seas area, freedom of navigation.

But there was still a blind idiot in the team who took out the shovel, and was immediately caught by the opponent.

That's right, if you want to watch sex, just sit back and watch. You are not the only one watching the excitement on this sea. Anyway, the real secrets are two hundred kilometers away and you can't see them.

But, you want to reclaim the sea?

Sorry, no.

This has always been China's style, and the captain has long been used to it. Generally speaking, just retreat, but today is a little different.

He really had to watch this excitement.

Therefore, the situation at that time was extremely anxious. Fortunately, the other party's coast guard ship did not seem to want to stay in this area for too long, and finally gave up trying to dissuade him.

This made the captain sigh a sigh of relief, because if the other party was really determined to drive them away, the excitement this time would be unbearable, and he would not be able to reap the benefits even if he went back.

Thinking of this, he cursed and unfolded the drone's remote control, and began to control the drone to fly towards the target two kilometers away.

The picture of the drone was transmitted back to the screen in his hand through DJI's OcuSync image transmission system. He flew the drone around the target and found that it was just tied up with a few buoys. The floating island has an area of ​​no more than 10 square meters.

This made him firmer in his guess.

At this distance, he could not think of any other way to accurately strike such a small target except artillery-launched missiles.

Therefore, the superiors' initial guess was correct. Although China's drill sounded quite appalling, in the final analysis it was just some old technology.

Cannon-launched missiles?

They are not the only ones who have it, their own country is actually not much worse in this regard.

In fact, the military has already used 9M119 artillery-launched missiles. Apart from being more expensive, slightly less accurate, and slightly shorter in range, there are actually no disadvantages.

As long as we develop well for a few more years, one day we will be able to compete with China on the sea.

He estimated the time when the exercise would start, gently pushed the joystick to raise the drone upwards, then adjusted the camera downwards, and began to wait quietly for the imminent explosion.

As time passed, fine beads of sweat began to appear on the captain's forehead. He cursed several times in annoyance, and several members of the team who were in a daze around him quickly came over to hold up an umbrella for him.

There was no movement from the target in the distance. For a moment, the captain even wondered if they had given up on the target.

Are you really afraid of accidental injury?

Speaking of which, the accuracy of their artillery-launched missiles is not very good, maybe two hundred kilometers. They can't even control the error within two kilometers, and the gap with our own doesn't seem that big.

——

No, even worse than our own side.

After all, the error of our own artillery-launched missiles within a range of 4,000 meters is less than 5 meters.

Thinking of this, he felt a little proud in his heart.

The Chinese navy is nothing more than that.

However, before this thought had even crossed his mind, he saw a strange scene on the screen.

The floating island target below the drone shattered without warning.

It was as if something had penetrated it.

Then, huge splashes of water rose from the sea, and those splashes even splashed onto the drone lens hundreds of meters high.

The captain stared at the screen dumbfounded. He hurriedly turned the camera around, but after he circled it 360 degrees, he discovered that there was no trajectory of any missile in the nearby sky!

what's the situation?

Is this a buried mine?

Just like what his previous army did, just blow up the target and regard it as a successful exercise?

That’s not right either!

What about the explosion of fire? ?

It's not a missile or a buried mine. So what exactly is going on?

A thought that frightened him suddenly flashed through his mind.

Isn't this really a cannon?

A cannon with a range of two hundred kilometers? ?

His face gradually became serious.

If there is such a weapon, then the launch platform they use is definitely not an ordinary destroyer.

There is absolutely no destroyer in the world that can carry a huge cannon with a range of two hundred kilometers.

Unless it's a battleship!

Has China started building battleships again?

Could it be that the world's navies are changing so quickly? What was used decades ago is now starting to come back to the forefront?

He immediately began to take back the drone, intending to report his news to his superiors in the shortest possible time after evacuating. However, something flew faster than the drone.

It's a cannonball.

Those shells seemed to have their own tracking function, following the drone's flight path and exploding water in the direction of advancement.

The control of the drone began to fail, and his heart became increasingly cold.

Such accuracy, such shooting speed

There is definitely more than one cannon.

Definitely a battleship!

He no longer cared about drones. In the face of such a major discovery, a small drone was nothing.

The captain suddenly threw the remote control in his hand and rushed onto the fishing boat. Then he roared for everyone to get on the boat and started the engine in a hurry.

At this moment, the extending water splash was getting closer and closer, and the nearest shell was no more than 500 meters away from them!

They came for this island!

The captain looked at the approaching, ghost-like water spray with fear. He could not understand what was happening in front of him. He could not understand where these shells came from, and he could not understand why there was no trace of smoke in the sky. But he knew that if he was really targeted by the opponent, his little fishing boat would definitely not be able to withstand a shot!

After an interval of more than ten seconds, a water splash bloomed less than 300 meters away. This time, he finally managed to see the direction of the splash.

From that angle, it was definitely a cannonball.

"Go! Go!"

The captain pushed the throttle sharply, and the small fishing boat emitted a burst of black smoke and began to sail slowly away from the island.

There was still a trace of luck in his heart. Maybe the other party was just demonstrating? Or was it simply missed?

Maybe it's not for yourself?

However, the next second, his fantasy was completely shattered.

With the loud sound of a cannonball hitting the rock, the island they had managed for more than ten years fell into the sky without warning.

Rocks fell apart, huge columns of water mixed with sand rose, and waves up to two meters high rolled in.

"careful!!"

He could no longer care about the other team members at this time, because he knew that under such waves, his fishing boat would be overturned immediately!

Diving, diving is the safest.

He rushed out of the cabin, stepped out of the side of the ship at the last second when the waves arrived, and then plunged into the water.

After an unknown amount of time, he resurfaced.

Just as he expected, the small fishing boat had been capsized by the waves, and the other team members, like him, were also sinking in the water.

Fortunately, not a single one is missing.

The captain looked towards the direction where the island was originally. There were no rocks visible there - probably they had all been blown up and sunk.

This made him feel deep despair.

What made him even more desperate was that this was not the only island that had disappeared.

In front of him, the islands that were originally uncontrolled and did not belong to anyone disappeared without a trace after the water rose one after another.

The results of their decades of hard work were destroyed in one fell swoop!
