I built an armada.

Because the conflict occurred at sea and in the dead of night, their means of obtaining intelligence were very limited.

Therefore, the conclusions drawn from those seemingly plausible but ultimately flawed pieces of information are naturally also wrong.

Boris's response was also the truth; the intelligence he could obtain at the moment was only what his spies had gathered from the relevant locations of the Eastern Wilderness tribes.

"Nine out of ten is good."

Pushkin couldn't help but feel a sense of triumph from his scheme, and slowly said, "It would be even better if the Dragon Summer Tribe became enraged. They would be able to attract more attention and energy from the Eagle Tribe, which would greatly reduce the pressure on us, and our plan could proceed smoothly."

"The only regret is that, judging from the outcome of this naval conflict, the Eagle Tribe's aircraft carrier fleet is still as powerful as ever. They remain the undisputed overlords of the Blue Star!"

Pushkin glanced at the time, his expression growing serious. "Six minutes left! Once the time is up, begin the operation immediately!"

The order was given with such decisiveness and thoroughness.

"Yes, Emperor!"

Boris confirmed the time and immediately accepted the order.
From the very beginning until now, Emperor Pushkin has consistently pursued the plan of launching military operations to seize benefits while the Eagle Tribes are temporarily preoccupied with matters within the European seas. Now, this plan has reached the crucial moment of its final execution.

It's safe to say that it's just one step away from success.

Once the appointed time arrives, the secretly deployed armed forces will immediately begin their operation to raid the homes of western tribes within the Europa Sea Circle.

Boris rushed back to his KGB office, just as he was about to check on the readiness of the relevant task forces deployed at the front, when an intelligence officer pushed open the door and handed him a crucial intelligence report.

Boris opened the intelligence file and nearly popped his eyes out. It actually matched his guess perfectly. This was really weird.

"What's going on here? The second medium-range ballistic missile launched by the Longxia tribe wasn't aimed at the garrison base, so is it going to be fired at sea again? Is this just a scare tactic? This is too absurd!"

So much time has passed, and intelligence personnel still haven't been able to find out that the first ballistic missile hit the USS Enterprise. They can only guess that it landed in the relevant sea area as a show of force to the Eagles.

Naturally, the details of the precise hit on the USS Condor are also unclear.

"Boom, boom, boom."

Boris's fingers tapped unconsciously on the table, his brows furrowing as he muttered to himself, "It seems that this maritime conflict in the Eastern Continent's waters is not as simple as it appears on the surface. There are some things happening behind the scenes that we are probably unaware of."

"This is really frustrating. What on earth happened?"

Boris fell into deep thought.

On the other side, the Longxia Tribe's integrated naval military factory.

After the three combat corps had completed their operational preparations, they immediately reported their detailed plans. Xu Dongguo carefully reviewed them and, finding no loopholes, immediately notified Su Dingping that they could proceed.

After leaving the nuclear missile research base, Su Dingping changed into civilian clothes and, under Wan Long's cover, boarded a special plane. The attack helicopter slowly took off and quickly disappeared into the vast night.

Inside the nuclear missile research base, Professor Zhang and the other researchers watched as Su Dingping finished his work and then hurriedly turned and left without saying a word.

They all knew very well that Su Dingping was a very busy person with a heavy burden on his shoulders, yet he had spent so much time here, which made them feel ashamed.

Previously, Professor Zhang and others had overheard some of the conversation between Su Dingping and Liu Huaming, so they naturally knew that this trip was extremely dangerous.

In fact, after learning about the situation, Professor Zhang and his group, along with Professor Zhao and other experts from the Missile Research Center, persuaded Su Dingping not to take such a big risk.

In any case, an aircraft carrier journey is not so easy to begin. Not to mention that the sea area belongs to the Eastern Wilderness Tribe, even the Enterprise aircraft carrier is full of Eagle Tribe people.

The first anti-ship ballistic missile hit the USS Enterprise, causing considerable casualties and the loss of nine warships. It can be said that the enmity between the two sides has reached the point of no return.

If they had anti-aircraft and anti-missile interceptors, the Enterprise carrier strike group would probably have gone berserk and headed straight for the Dragonxia tribe's waters. The reason the Enterprise carrier strike group hasn't made any move is due to its insufficient strength.

Otherwise, given the nature of the Eagle Tribe people, descendants of pirates, they would probably have gone mad and started cursing long ago.

In such a perilous situation, Su Dingping actually risked his life to embark on a journey to the USS Enterprise, which was tantamount to going to the enemy's lair to study that nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

It has to be said that this audacity can truly be described as outrageous.

It's impossible for these researchers not to worry. After all, they had worked with Su Dingping for so long, and while admiring his research abilities, they had also developed a sense of shared ideals with him.

They once suggested to Su Dingping that they take his place on the trip, filming whatever was needed and following the arranged itinerary to visit every part of the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier.

Even though they tried their best to persuade him, Su Dingping firmly rejected them, saying in short that the other party could not replace him.

Professor Zhang and the others were well aware that they simply could not replace him. Firstly, their expertise was not relevant; their research was too narrow and far less extensive and profound than Su Dingping's.

The second point is the most important. They are all ordinary people, unlike Su Dingping who has a military blueprint forging space. For more advanced weapons and equipment, he only needs to touch or feel them to immediately obtain the core technologies of the Enterprise aircraft carrier.

It's no exaggeration to say that it wouldn't be difficult for him to directly replicate an aircraft carrier like the Enterprise. The only problem is the lack of basic domestic industry. But how could that possibly stump Su Dingping?

Therefore, this irreplaceable nature became a sufficient reason for Su Dingping to make the trip in person.

Before leaving, Su Dingping did not allow anyone to see him off, not even his former mentor and current colleague Zhang Gongnong, Sun Yongguo and others. He boarded his private attack helicopter under Wan Long's escort and flew directly towards the sea area where the First Combat Regiment was located.

Watching Su Dingping's figure disappear into the research base, Professor Zhang finally turned his attention back to the research base and said with great emotion, "Commander Su is indeed highly skilled and daring. Even with a vast body of work and terrifyingly strong research capabilities that have left us far behind, he still has such enthusiasm for the military industry."

"To venture alone into the enemy's lair—that courage is truly unmatched. It reminds me of Mr. Qian..."

At this point, Professor Zhang immediately pictured Mr. Qian working tirelessly day and night on scientific research. Then, images of Su Dingping conducting research also surfaced in his mind, and the two images began to merge, except that one of them was incredibly young.

"The two of them are really alike; they both dedicate themselves wholeheartedly to scientific research."

"If I were as willing as Chief Su to risk my life for scientific research, even if it was only half as much, I wouldn't have wasted half my life..."

His admiration for Su Dingping had reached a whole new level, and his image of Su Dingping had become even more imposing, almost reaching the level of Qian Lao in his mind.

The assistant standing to the side quickly offered words of comfort: "Professor Zhang, please don't underestimate yourself. Your excellence is unparalleled among all of Professor Qian's students..."

Before the other person could finish speaking, Professor Zhang interrupted: "Whether a person is excellent or not depends on who they are compared to. Only by comparing yourself to someone more excellent can you see the gap between yourself and others, understand?"

"This is what they mean by 'there's always someone better.' If we keep comparing ourselves to those around us, then we should pack our bags and leave to make room for others."

"The purpose of Professor Qian bringing us here is not to rest on our laurels and stagnate in scientific research, but to learn from Chief Su and make further progress."

"Did you remember that? I don't want to say those words a second time!"

His assistant is also very capable, but today he used a heavy hand to make a big show of things.

"Professor Zhang, I've got it."

The assistant looked ashamed. "Professor, I know I was wrong."

Professor Zhang nodded slightly. In fact, he did not mean to blame his assistant, but was simply lamenting the vast gap between himself and Su Dingping.

Professor Zhao and his group from the Missile Research Institute of the Pangu Research Base, who were not far away, witnessed this scene and were also filled with admiration.

Arriving at the naval integrated military factory, especially in such a highly classified place, they truly realized just how vast the gap was between themselves and the researchers here.

They also witnessed that even though the researchers here were very talented, their enthusiasm for scientific research was unprecedented, exceeding all their previous expectations.

"Commander Su is so young, yet he is so obsessed with scientific research that he doesn't even care about his own safety. He single-handedly ventured into enemy territory just to study the core technology of aircraft carriers. I am in awe of him and feel ashamed of myself."

"With such young people as the leaders of our research base, how can we not worry about the rise of a military technology hub here? Only such top talents can better promote our progress."

Professor Zhao's eyes sparkled with boundless enthusiasm and extreme admiration for Su Dingping!
Guo Xueyun, who was standing to the side, had her red lips tightly pursed and her eyes were sparkling with a different kind of light. It was impossible to know what she was thinking, but her gaze was fixed on the direction in which Su Dingping had left.

"Xueyun, you should learn more from Chief Su in the future. His dedication to science and technology is something I can't even match."

After regaining his composure, Professor Zhao looked at his prized student Guo Xueyun and said earnestly, "First of all, you are both young people of similar age. Secondly, the talent you have shown in the field of scientific research is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

Guo Xueyun snapped out of her daze and quickly replied truthfully, "Professor, I understand."

"it is good."

Professor Zhao smiled, then gently patted Guo Xueyun's shoulder, saying meaningfully, "It's good that you understand. I believe you can do it."

Guo Xueyun was incredibly intelligent; she instantly grasped the hidden meaning in Professor Zhao's words, especially the meaningful look in his eyes.

Clearly, Professor Zhao has misunderstood the relationship between her and Su Dingping.

Su Dingping had already explained that the two of them were alumni, and Professor Zhao had completely misunderstood.

"No matter what, there are still opportunities."

Professor Zhao said meaningfully, "Take this opportunity well, I believe in you."

These two sentences, especially the last one, made Guo Xueyun's heart race, and her pretty face flushed red all the way to the roots of her neck.

"Once the revolutionary friendship is solidified, it can be elevated to a higher level."

After uttering those words, without giving Guo Xueyun any chance to explain, Professor Zhao turned around and strode straight toward Professor Zhang, who was not far away.

"Professor Zhang, hello. I still need to consult you about some technical issues with the Yunfan series anti-ship ballistic missiles. Please don't hesitate to give me your guidance," Professor Zhao said very humbly.

Professor Zhang, having regained his composure, chuckled and said, "It's no honor to offer guidance, Professor Zhao. Let's discuss this together. This way, please."

So the two of them strode to the side, moving swiftly and decisively, and went straight to the thick pile of research materials left by Su Dingping.

Soon, their discussion filled the research center, naturally attracting other professors, experts, and young researchers.

Even without Su Dingping in this research center, Professor Zhang's research capabilities and academic background are still very strong. He has conducted in-depth research on the new concepts and knowledge points proposed by Su Dingping.

Naturally, we can discuss with Professor Zhao and others to ensure that the direction is correct.

On the other side, at the naval headquarters military base, is the operations command center.

Inside the hall, soldiers in uniform were busy at work, creating a bustling scene. They maintained close contact with the front lines, logistics, and other units, while also keeping an eye on any unusual activity in other directions at sea.

Liu Huaming personally oversaw the operation, proceeding with command and control in an orderly manner. His main task now was to ensure that Su Dingping's aircraft carrier journey would be safe and smooth.

At this moment, Zhang Zhaoxin, who was in charge of liaison, rushed in and reported, "Reporting, Commander, Commander Su has already departed. He is expected to arrive at Ship 127 in two hours and twelve minutes." (End of Chapter)
