I built an armada.

Once the turtleback is removed, and with the addition of pump-jet propulsion technology, the Longxia nuclear submarine can still achieve super-quiet operation.

With the new type of nuclear submarine, it's not impossible for the Longxia Navy to conduct long-range voyages and directly confront the Eagle Tribe's doorstep.

"The next generation of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers should be equipped with nuclear fusion reactors to ensure sufficient power supply and direct all-electric propulsion, making the carrier quieter." Su Dingping had already begun to envision the next generation of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.

Nuclear fusion reactors represent a new era of power systems. They are not only safe and reliable, but also incredibly powerful, making them ideal for military use, especially for naval long-range voyages.

If this power system can be miniaturized, then heavy armored vehicles such as tanks on land will be able to achieve unlimited power range, and even in high-altitude areas, they will be able to achieve seamless power connection without power attenuation.

It could even deploy high-energy particle weapons, thereby creating a generational gap in weaponry and directly overwhelming the enemy!
In Su Dingping's vision, Longxia's weaponry and equipment should be at least one to two generations ahead of any opponent on Earth!
Once the war begins, it can completely crush the opponent, wiping them out without giving them a chance to fight back.

Once back on the fast support boat, Captain Dong asked in a low voice, "Commander Su, how was this aircraft carrier trip?"

"Everything is under control."

Su Dingping responded with a confident smile, appearing very relaxed.

"That's good, that's good."

Captain Dong was slightly taken aback, but then responded with a cheerful smile, feeling that taking such a big risk to make this aircraft carrier trip was well worth it!

The others were also shocked; indeed, different people gained different things from those who boarded the ship.

Taking such a huge risk yielded such a huge reward; indeed, risk and reward are proportional, making it a very worthwhile investment.

Now that they have boarded their fast support boats, once they return to the Second Combat Regiment, they will no longer need to worry about safety.

Only when this step is reached can this journey be considered completely over!
Of course, compared to safety, the size of the harvest is less important; getting everyone home safely is paramount. As long as Su Dingping is there, military equipment can be continuously upgraded, it just takes a little longer.

But for the three armies, having already endured so much, why would they care about a little more time?

Although he didn't know how much a visit to the aircraft carrier would help Su Dingping, Captain Dong had already gleaned a lot from Su Dingping's confident expression, which naturally boosted his own confidence.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't puzzled. Although he visited the USS Enterprise, time was limited and the sections he visited were basically just a quick glance. Yet, Su Dingping said he gained a lot.

Does this mean that senior researchers like Su Dingping all possess the ability to see through supernatural objects?

This was completely different from the military experts he had in mind. However, upon further reflection, the military equipment produced by Su Dingping proved that he was so extraordinary that he could not be judged by ordinary thinking.

Moreover, the other party is definitely not an ordinary military expert!

While he wouldn't belittle the other military experts, he still felt that they couldn't compare to Su Dingping; the two were worlds apart.

"Let's go back now."

Su Dingping glanced at the USS Enterprise again and then spoke to Captain Dong.

Today, he has not only acquired the core technology of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, the Westinghouse A4W pressurized water reactor, but also an unexpected gain: the core technology of the Tomahawk cruise missile.

Next, once he has fully analyzed all the relevant technologies of the Tomahawk cruise missile, he will be able to develop his own version of the cruise missile, thus filling the gap in this field for the Longxia military.

Cruise missiles have advantages that ballistic missiles do not have, such as being able to reach far enough, fly low enough, be less expensive, and have a low probability of being detected. They are definitely offensive weapons that can be used in large quantities!

It can be said that if the three armed forces were equipped with this, they would be able to have long-range strike capabilities.

In fact, if the Type 052D destroyer and other 10,000-ton destroyers had not yet surpassed the naval carrier fleet in stealth and radar technology, and had used Tomahawk cruise missiles in a surprise attack, it would have inevitably caused considerable losses to the navy.

The Tomahawk cruise missile has had two versions since its inception: one for attacking land and the other for attacking ships at long range.

Even if we ultimately win, it will be a Pyrrhic victory!
Compared to the Eagle Tribe's carrier fleet, this battle was fought with its hands tied. Without discovering any of the Dragon Xia Navy's warships, it was unable to use its offensive tactics, thus many of its methods could not be implemented, which led to this crushing defeat!
The outcome of the battle has already been decided, so there's no going back.

The generational gap is a reality, and it will likely take a long time to change it.

In particular, the radar technology is now being used directly on the 10,000-ton destroyers, putting it at least one generation ahead of the radar on the Eagle Tribe aircraft carrier fleet.

"set off!"

Captain Dong nodded, then waved his hand and, full of heroic spirit, steered the fast support boat into the vast night.

The fast support boat was small and fast, so it quickly disappeared from the sight of the lookouts on the USS Enterprise, and could not even be seen through binoculars.

On the deck of the USS Enterprise, Willis and his vice president William stood at the bow, their faces expressionless, watching Captain Dong and his men speed away in the fast support boat. Even after they were out of sight, they did not look away.

The vice-captain withdrew his gaze and turned to Willis, saying, "Captain, the Longxia people's aircraft carrier mission has finally come to an end. The agreement we reached with Captain Chen, the frontline commander of the Longxia Navy, can finally take effect."

"That's right, it's finally over."

Willis visibly breathed a sigh of relief, finally free from his anxieties.

Previously, choosing to surrender to Captain Chen was a last resort. There was no other way; circumstances forced us to act against our will, and the only outcome of not surrendering was death! As a rational person, the choice I made was clear.

The agreed-upon aircraft carrier trip has now been completely completed. Naturally, this matter will remain a closely guarded secret between them, never to be made public.

Moreover, Willis had specifically confirmed this with Captain Dong in person, so they wouldn't have to worry about any further trouble, and they certainly wouldn't be demoted or court-martialed because of the leak.

Therefore, they naturally didn't need to worry about the Eagle Tribe's leadership or ordinary people finding out about the disturbance.

Because of this, Willis was in a fairly good mood. If the circumstances hadn't prevented it, he would have almost hummed a few of his favorite tunes to vent his emotions. "They left really quickly. I hope they get home safely so we don't have to worry anymore."

Willis glanced at the deep sea again and said with some concern, "As long as there are no unexpected events and they don't make any more demands or turn back halfway, I will be very grateful."

"Captain, this shouldn't happen."

The first mate, William, looked confident. "The people they sent have already seen everything they should and shouldn't have seen. Even if they come back to look again, there's nothing left to see."

"You're right."

Willis nodded in deep agreement, then turned to the vice-captain and asked, "William, do you think they've figured out anything from just this cursory glance?"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"The vice-captain William said confidently, "How could they possibly figure out anything from such a short, hurried glance? I simply don't believe it. They don't have X-ray vision."

"Besides, even if we give them all the blueprints for our core technology to study, given the current foundation of the Longxia tribe, it would probably take at least ten years before they could make any progress."

Willis nodded in deep agreement with this deduction.

He also strongly agreed that it was impossible for the Longxia people to steal the core technology of the Enterprise aircraft carrier in such a short time. Even if God came, he couldn't possibly master the core technology of an aircraft carrier in just half an hour, right?
As long as the core technology isn't stolen, nothing will happen!
In fact, he shared the same thought as the vice-captain William: let alone the Dragon Xia Navy, even if the top military experts brought from the Eagle Tribe were to come and immediately identify any valuable core technologies, he would simply cut off their heads.

He knew very well that after buying the Type 052 destroyer from the Longxia tribe, the Eagle tribe had a group of top military experts who studied the ship. In the end, they simply disassembled the ship to figure out some design ideas. During the disassembly process, one of the military experts accidentally damaged the radar on it.

As a result, the core technology of radar is still under research.

If military technology were so easy to master, there would be no need to disassemble warships like the Type 052 for research.

Therefore, Willis believed that the Dragonshire Navy embarked on its aircraft carrier journey mainly to satisfy the vanity of the victors, and that the Dragonshire Navy had no intention of getting anything from the Enterprise aircraft carrier at all.

They would come aboard the aircraft carrier that had been hit by their own forces to inspect the damage, then use the excuse of to tour the rest of the carrier, satisfying their inner urges. They were just too embarrassed to admit it, so they made up a plausible reason.

Thinking of all this, Willis regained his usual arrogant demeanor, and a smile gradually crept onto his face.

Only when the binoculars could no longer see any trace of the fast support boat did Willis turn to the vice-captain and say, "Alright, let's go back. This matter is settled, and we can relax now."

"Next, we just wait for the Longxia Navy to approve the model; there's no need to worry about anything else."

After saying that, he started walking towards the island superstructure, but after only a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around and stared intently at the vice-captain William.

"Captain, what's wrong?" The vice-captain asked curiously, puzzled by the other party's sudden turn around.

Willis said with a serious expression, "William, don't forget about the gag order. You must handle this personally, okay? Otherwise, you know the consequences."

"Yes, Captain."

First mate William straightened his back and said solemnly, "Please rest assured, Captain, I will arrange this matter properly and without any loopholes."

Even if Willis didn't say a word, he would still cover it up after he went down.

Because he and Willis are now in the same boat, neither of them can escape. If anyone leaks this information, he will also suffer!

"That's good."

Willis nodded in satisfaction, and gently patted the first mate William on the shoulder. "I trust you to get things done."

After saying that, he glanced at the distant sea again before striding confidently toward the island superstructure.

Before entering the island superstructure, he looked up at the night sky and clearly saw the patrolling fighter jets returning one after another, which indicated that the trip had come to an end.

He let out a long breath, feeling instantly much lighter, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

Willis's lips curled into a slight smile as he strode toward the control room without looking back. He could even faintly hear music drifting out and echoing in the room.

Meanwhile, in the main control room of the Third Combat Corps located in the eastern sea area, the atmosphere remained extremely tense.

Cao Youren stared wide-eyed at the radar display, his heart still pounding in his chest.

As far as he was concerned, he would not be at ease until Su Dingping had set foot on the 10,000-ton warship of the Second Combat Corps.

"Has Commander Su left the aircraft carrier?" Cao Youren asked the radar monitor impatiently.

This was at least five or six times he had asked.

"Reporting to the captain, not yet," the radar monitor said, shaking his head.

Cao Youren looked up at the wall clock, frowned, and said, "It's almost time, why haven't we set off yet?"

"Could it be that something happened?"

The first mate quickly reassured him, "Captain, since both sides have already made an agreement, I believe Willis wouldn't dare to cause trouble. It may have just been a little delayed, but we'll give you more time to tour the USS Enterprise."

"I believe Captain Dong and his crew will be safe, and Commander Su will receive better protection." (End of Chapter)
