Chapter 437 - No, you're putting mushrooms on the torpedoes?

    Strategic black fish?

    Facing Korinovski's question, Wang Minyu smiled and then directly said:

    "It's natural..."

    Like the aggressive black fish, Longcun had never thought of hiding the matter of the strategic black fish.

    Even at the beginning, Longcun had thought of bringing both of them out.

    It's still the same old saying, deterrence, of course, the stronger the better!

    As for whether it will be targeted after it's brought out?

    Just like before, Black and White Eagle et al. don't worry about Longcun mastering the technology of the first and second generation jet fighters.

    Now, these black fish are to Longcun what the first and second generation jet fighters were to Black and White Eagle and others.

    Longcun's target in the future is the South Heavenly Gate and the vast ocean of stars!

    Instead of these insects on the ground.

    Even more so, to take a step back, even if we put aside the black technologies like the South Heavenly Gate.

    Moreover, just the huge black fish itself cannot be caught by talking.

    Xuanwu alloy, artificial intelligence, cloud rising battery, neutrino communication technology, bio-inspired robot...

    The Jiwen and Bixi are equipped with dozens of various black technologies, big and small!

    Even aside from those black technologies, the no-axis pump propulsion technology is something that Black and White Eagles and others cannot break through in a short time.

    Even this technology, Black and White Eagle Village has been developing it for a long time...

    So, in any case, Longcun has nothing to worry about in terms of exposure. The reason for the concealment before was purely because there was nothing in hand. Although the Bixi hasn't been built yet, that doesn't prevent Longcun from flying a tiger's banner and waving a big flag. As the saying goes, with truth and falsity intertwined, who knows what's true if Longcun doesn't say?...

    With Wang Minyu's affirmative response, Korinovski and others are increasingly somber.

    Glancing at each other, Korinovski pondered for a moment before he couldn't help but say:

    "Dawali, can we see your strategic black fish?"

    Hearing this, Wang Minyu smiled slightly and without any hesitation, directly said:

    "Certainly, this is not a secret at all..."

    Is it not a secret?

    Korinovski's pupils constricted slightly.

    That statement reveals too much information!

    What does "not a secret" mean?

    It means that Longcun has better things?

    They had already been overwhelmed by what they knew about now, and Longcun even has better things?

    For a long time, Korinovski took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the thought in his heart, then turned his gaze towards the center in the distance.

    There, beams of blue light had reappeared again.

    Not long after, another gigantic virtual model quietly formed.

    The previous Jiwen and [Star of the Sea] bio-inspired robot had been reduced in size and were placed next to the map in a corner.

    "Again such a rudderless black fish?"

    Looking at the virtual model that appeared in front of them once more, everyone's eyes sparkled.

    They are almost entirely sure that if these two models were not put out by Longcun to scare them, then these two black fish must be of the same origin!

    Even less likely, one of them might be a derivative product of the other.

    "Let me introduce to all of you..."

    Under the gaze of everyone, Wang Minyu's voice once again sounded:

    "This is Bixi, our new generation of strategic black fish of Longcun!"

    "It is 163 meters long, has a full-load displacement of 36,000 tons underwater, and a maximum speed of 20 knots on the surface, and 35 knots underwater..."

    36,000 tons.

    Hearing this figure, Korinovski and others were stunned.

    Before the crowd could process this, Wang Minyu continued:

    "Bixi has a self-sufficiency of 60 days, with 40 launch sites for missiles and four torpedo launchers. It can carry 40 NH-5 type sub-launched intercontinental ballistic missiles in full load, or 40 NH-5B type sub-launched intercontinental ballistic missiles, or 80 XH-2 type sub-launched hypersonic ballistic missiles..."

    "NH-5 type sub-launched intercontinental ballistic missile is consistent with Jiwen, NH-5B is the upgraded version of NH-5, the maximum range is 16,000 kilometers, under extreme conditions, it can carry eight blue mushrooms of 250,000 tons at the same time, or carry three blue mushrooms of one million tons, or carry one blue mushroom of five million tons..."

    Sigh!!!

    Hearing the numbers Wang Minyu said, a few Arctic Bear Village administrators couldn't help but take a deep breath of cold air.

    Forty missile launch sites?

    Capable of carrying forty intercontinental ballistic missiles at one time?

    What monster is this?

    And not only the NH-5 type sub-launched intercontinental ballistic missile, but also the NH-5B type sub-launched intercontinental ballistic missile?

    What does it mean to have a sub-launched range of 16,000 kilometers?

    In other words, Longcun can place it anywhere in the world and cover any village on the Blue Planet!

    With the above-mentioned mushrooms on board, whether it's eight blue mushrooms of 250,000 tons, three blue mushrooms of one million tons, or one blue mushroom of five million tons.

    Any of the three levels of missiles, if they were to fall, would be enough to annihilate any city on the Blue Planet!

    Even those top ten super-giant cities in the world!

    For example, the Toei City in the Eastern Village!

    And such missiles, this black fish can carry forty of them!!

    If one missile equals eight blue mushrooms of 250,000 tons, then this black fish can carry 320 such blue mushrooms of 25 million tons!!

    What does 320 blue mushrooms of 250,000 tons mean?

    The two mushrooms used by Black and White Eagle Village to wash the head of Eastern Village back then, the largest one was only 30,000 tons, and the other one was 25,000 tons, which is just one-tenth of 250,000 tons!

    In other words, these forty missiles can completely destroy a village directly!

    A black fish one village, what does this mean?

    If Longcun deploys only ten such black fish, the whole world would tremble in fear under the Longcun's might!

    Thinking of these, all the Arctic Bear Village administrators present felt a chill down their spine.

    They could hardly imagine what kind of mentality Longcun had when they made such a monster.

    You see, their Arctic Bear Village also has black fish with a displacement of several tens of thousands of tons, with a full-load displacement as high as 48,000 tons!

    However, due to technical reasons, their black fish may have a large displacement, but they can only carry 22 intercontinental ballistic missiles!

    The number of missiles is two less than the most advanced strategic black fish of Black and White Eagle Village now.

    And the number of intercontinental ballistic missiles carried by Longcun's black fish is almost twice as many as theirs!!

    As for the number and yield of the mushroom heads, it's not worth talking about.

    Simply not on the same level at all.

    At this moment when the Arctic Bear Village administrators were deeply shaken, Wang Minyu's voice echoed again:

    "In addition to this, Jiwen can also carry 16 CQ-2 type or CQ-2H type supersonic anti-ship torpedoes..."

    "CQ-2 type supersonic anti-ship torpedo doesn't need to be said, and CQ-2H type supersonic anti-ship torpedo is the upgraded version of CQ-2, with its warhead exchanged for a 10 million ton blue mushroom head..."

    ???

    Hearing Wang Minyu's words, the Arctic Bear Village administrators who were still in a daze after being shocked by the abnormal missile armament of the Jiwen suddenly snapped back to reality.

    What the heck?

    Ten million ton mushroom heads??

    What are you talking about?

    Torpedoes?

    You actually put a mushroom head on a torpedo?

    Alright, alright, our Poseidon mushroom torpedo is still in the design phase, you guys are really coming out with something.

    At this moment, even Korinovski himself couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

    He even didn't know what words to use to describe his current mood.

    He had long known that Longcun had a fear of insufficient firepower.

    But your firepower phobia is a bit too extreme, right?

    Is this really a phobia?

    This is like advanced stage cancer of fear!

    ……

    In front of Korinovski and the others, watching their reactions, Wang Minyu smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.

    Compared to the Jiwen, this Bixi, he can be said to have reported it truthfully without any exaggeration.

    All the data mentioned is one hundred percent true!

    If we have to nitpick, the only thing not true is the CQ-2 type supercavitating torpedo. The conventional torpedoes on Bixi are the same as those on Jiwen, which are all CQ-2D type supercavitating torpedoes.

    As for the rest, all the data is solid and real!

    Although similar to Bixi, these things haven't been built yet, or have only been built in a few quantities for technical verification.

    But these are all tangible things!

    Including the CQ-2H type supersonic anti-ship torpedo mushroom head!

    Hide?

    That's what I said, there's no need!

    To intimidate people, we must scare them as much as possible!

    Not only to scare these people in the Arctic Bear Village now, but Longcun is going to further scare the Black and White Eagle Village!

    It can be said that Black and White Eagle is the one who truly needs to be scared!

    ...

    Don't know how long it has been, Korinovski and the others finally came back to their senses.

    After a while, Korinovski and the others finally regained their composure. The leading Korinovski glanced at the huge virtual model in front of him, which was several meters long and spanned almost the entire reception hall, took a deep breath, suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and then turned his gaze back to Wang Minyu, smiling wryly:

    "Dawali, your concealment is truly incredible..."

    Even Korinovski was thoroughly convinced at this moment.

    Even though reason told him it was too false.

    What was the strength of Longcun before?

    "The 'water tractor'" was a joke for the entire Oversea Marine System world!

    An administrator from Black and White Eagle Village even said: "Even if Longcun is given fifty more years, it still won't be able to produce a large black fish at the level of what Black and White Eagle Village has now!"

    Although the Arctic Bear Village never said such words, they never thought that Longcun would be able to surpass them in this aspect.

    However, now, Longcun has quietly exceeded them without making any noise, not only surpassing them but also manufacturing a "monster" that they dare not even dream of!

    Yes, a monster!

    Only the word "monster" can describe this black fish in front of us.

    Bixi!

    Korinovski didn't know why the name of this black fish was so strange. The knowledge of Longcun that he knew did not include such an odd name, but it seemed that only such a strange name could fit this monster.

    Facing Korinovski's laughing voice, Wang Minyu smiled slightly and said:

    "Mr. Korinovski overpraised me. This is just a small trick and not worth mentioning..."

    Petty tricks?

    Korinovski's mouth twitches.

    The other administrators of the Arctic Bear Village beside him also twisted their faces.

    If it weren't for their remaining reason, many of them would have even had the urge to fight.

    This is what you call a petty trick?

    But if anyone else was here……

    Alright, whoever it is, if they had these things in their hands, they wouldn't dare to act...

    Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel a bit pale.

    After struggling for a moment, seeing Wang Minyu's "humble (zhuang) and modest (bi)" look, one of them finally couldn't hold back and spoke:

    "Mr. Dawali, may we see your black fish with our own eyes?"

    Witness it with our own eyes?

    Hearing this, everyone was startled, and then all the managers of the Arctic Bear Village, unconsciously turned their gaze to Wang Minyu.

    Almost instantly, they understood their companion's meaning.

    In front of the Arctic Bear Village crowd, Wang Minyu deeply looked at the representative who had just spoken.

    Just like the other managers of the Arctic Bear Village, he also immediately understood the other party's intention.

    What does it mean to see with one's own eyes?

    Of course, it's seeing the actual thing!

    Now, whatever Wang Minyu says is just the words of Wang Minyu himself. The virtual model they see is also virtual.

    Who knows if what Wang Minyu is saying is true or false?

    The people in the room are not fools, who would believe what others say just because of that?

    Wang Minyu didn't find it strange.

    In fact, even before revealing the Jiwen and Bixi, he had been prepared to face skepticism.

    Thinking of this, Wang Minyu smiled slightly and said:

    "We want to visit naturally. There is no problem. Three days later, we will hold a press conference in Qingzhou Port, and then we will formally announce the existence of Jiwen to the world. At that time, you all can witness Jiwen's existence with our own eyes!"

    …………

    As night falls, the hotel suite where Korinovski and others were staying was brightly lit.

    All representatives of the Arctic Bear Village gathered together.

    "Everyone, do you think what Longcun said is true or false?"

    After a long silence, Korinovski opened his mouth with a serious tone.

    Hearing this, the crowd exchanged glances, and after a long silence, one of them finally spoke:

    "I personally think that these things are too sci-fi. Although Longcun has experienced a great burst of technological power, the Jiwen and Bixi, especially Bixi, are too terrifying. And their weapons, with performance data that's one more exaggerated than the last, are completely unbelievable..."

    As soon as the words fell, another person's voice quietly echoed:

    "I also hold a reserved attitude towards what Longcun said. Besides, we will not talk about other things first. Just their weapons alone, before Wang Minyu kept mentioning the blue mushroom, we all know what the blue mushroom is, we also know the difficulty and cost of making it, especially the cost part..."

    "Making a blue mushroom is not difficult for us, but the cost of manufacturing and maintaining a blue mushroom is more than ten times that of a regular mushroom!"

    "Even Black and White Eagle would not dare to mass-produce blue mushrooms!"

    "And Longcun, although they have the world's unique blue mushroom structure that can significantly reduce the maintenance cost of blue mushrooms, this does not mean that they can make blue mushrooms recklessly!"

    "Taking a step back, even if we set aside the maintenance cost, to mass-produce blue mushrooms, you need a large amount of deuterium and tritium. We are all aware of the incredible consumption required to extract these elements, especially tritium..."

    "Because of the rarity of tritium in nature, we can only obtain large-scale tritium elements for the mass production of blue mushrooms through artificial synthesis. The cost is astronomical!"

    "Can Longcun really ignore such expenditure?"

    Hearing this, the crowd exchanged glances and then fell into deep thought.

    Don't know how long it has been, a voice finally echoed:

    "Is there a possibility that Longcun is not using tritium?"

    Not tritium?

    Everyone was startled.

    Quickly realizing what he meant, one of them quickly responded, "Are you saying helium-3?"

    Hearing this, the others also came to understand and quickly recalled the relevant information from their minds.

    Helium-3 is also one of the elements used in the production of blue mushrooms, in addition to deuterium and tritium.

    But...

    "Helium-3 is not abundant on Earth either. The place with the largest known helium-3 reserve is the moon. Could Longcun really go to the moon to obtain helium-3?"

    A man next to Korinovski slightly shook his head.

    Landing on the moon?

    Although they had both gone to the moon with Black and White Eagle Village decades ago.

    But so far, no one has been able to bring anything back from the moon except Black and White Eagle Village.

    Even the things Black and White Eagle brought back, whether they came from the moon or not, are still under investigation...

    So, can Longcun bring something back from the moon?

    "The moon?"

    Hearing the name, a glint of light flashed through Korinovski's eyes.

    Unconsciously, the image of the spaceport technology demonstrated by Longcun before rose in his mind.

    "If...they really did obtain helium-3 from the moon?"

    After a long time, Korinovski's voice echoed quietly.

    With Korinovski's voice, everyone was taken aback.

    Then everyone fell into deep thought.
