Reinforcement Panel: Tech Wars

Chapter 79 has spread!
The materials in the file bag were scattered on the table. Faced with all this, a sense of urgency and frustration crept into Zhao Fuqing's heart.

Zhao Fuqing was just feeling proud of the verification of the magnetohydrodynamic propulsion technology, but the content described on the paper in front of him quickly shattered his previous optimism.

"How can it be?!"

"General Zhang, how could such a huge fleet be defeated by a piece of equipment?!"

"That's impossible!"

"In the history of human warfare, no piece of equipment has ever been able to achieve this with its performance advantage!"

Having devoted his entire life to the submarine business of Dongda University, Zhao Fuqing now suddenly feels that all his hard work and dedication over the years have become meaningless.

Seeing that the old man in front of him was somewhat out of control, Zhang Gang said that he could understand his frustration.

When he saw this information, his reaction was even more extreme than Zhao Fuqing's current one.

"Director Zhao, please calm down!"

"This is just our speculation. I came here to ask for your opinion."

"Based on your research in the field of submarines, which company on the Blue Planet do you think could possibly develop such equipment?"

Gasping for breath, the content described on the paper in front of him continued to challenge Zhao Fuqing's cognition.

"Special channel intelligence: All propeller shafts of all ships returning to port during the Rim of the Ocean exercise have been cut! The cut surface is smooth!"

Propeller shafts are all made of high-strength alloys. What technology can achieve all this so efficiently?
High-strength alloys, water jet cutting, laser cutting, energy supply.
All research contents related to alloy cutting flashed quickly through Zhao Fuqing’s mind, and the answer was that there was no technology that could do all of this!
"I am not sure."

"As far as I know, humans don't currently have such technology!"

“Not to mention now, even in 10, 20, or 30 years, it will be impossible for humans to develop such technology!”

When it comes to scientific research, Zhao Fuqing gave the answer in a firm voice.

Rather than answering Lieutenant General Zhang Gang's question, he was more like having a technical debate with his own scientific research beliefs.

Ignoring the spit that splattered everywhere when Zhao Fuqing answered the questions, Zhang Gang's expression became more serious.

He believed in Zhao Fuqing's judgment, as Zhao Fuqing was already the most outstanding underwater equipment research expert at Southeast University.

Can’t it be researched within 30 years?
Zhao Fuqing's words made Zhang Gang a little unsure of how to respond.

His first reaction was that it was impossible. After all, the intelligence was in front of him, and the abrupt end of the Ugly Eagle Ocean Exercise was a fact.

He found it hard to believe that humans had not been able to develop such equipment in 30 years.

"Director Zhao, the Ugly Eagle has just suffered a setback. They haven't been able to develop such technology in 30 years. Could it be that aliens attacked the Ugly Eagle fleet?"

With a distorted expression, Zhao Fuqing certainly would not think that aliens had attacked the Ugly Eagle Fleet.

This assumption is basically impossible, but how can we explain the reality?
He didn't know whether aliens existed or not, he only knew that humans could never possess such a transcendent means of attack.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fuqing's eyes moved and he looked up at Zhang Gang, as if he had some guess but was not quite sure.

Noticing Zhao Fuqing's expression, Zhang Gang tried to ask.

"Any guesses?"

Zhao Fuqing looked down at the test report placed aside and pushed the report in front of Zhang Gang.

"If we have to say who on Blue Planet has this technology, it can only be him."

「CL01 Magnetohydrodynamic Propulsion Technology Prototype Test Report」

Zhang Gang looked down at the cover text on the report, and a name came to his mind.

"Red Star?"

The office fell silent for a moment. After eliminating all the impossible options, the one remaining was most likely the correct answer.

Zhang Gang thought about all the information he had collected about Red Star. Could it be him? ——
In North America, an interim report on the Rim of the Ocean exercise was placed before Cliff.

It has been two days since Cliff returned to the mainland of Ugly Eagle from the Hawaiian port. During these two days, he has been receiving various inquiries from different departments every day.

This was the biggest Waterloo event in the military history of the Ugly Eagle, and Cliff, as the commander-in-chief of the exercise, bore great responsibility.

He had read the report several times, but Ugly Eagle still had no clear intelligence about the ownership of the underwater submarine.

The only piece of information that may be related is that the related party is the University of Tokyo, which is the main target of the Rim of the Ocean exercise.

"According to reliable intelligence, the protection level of the Underwater Equipment Research Institute of the University of Tokyo has been upgraded recently, and it is suspected that major projects are being developed."

Using all the intelligence systems of Ugly Eagle and its allies, only this information is worthy of attention.

Bang Bang~

"Come in."

The person who came was Cliff's secretary, who walked carefully to Cliff's desk.

The boss has been in a bad mood these past two days, and the secretary became even more reserved when she thought about the news he was going to tell her next.

"General, the White House has notified you to come over to make a report in the evening."

"Representatives of Kangaroos and Little Days have protested to the White House. They hope you will give them an explanation in person."

Snapped!
Cliff slammed his right hand on the table. He was fed up with communicating with these idiots.

"Are they worthy?!"

"I need to explain this to them!?"

"Tell the guy in the white house to let those short guys and idiots eat shit!"

"If you want an explanation, tell them to come to my office!"

Cliff, who was furious, waved his secretary to leave, grabbed the ashtray on the table and threw it out.

"Damn rats!"

"Don't let me catch you!"

Xiao Rizi and the Kangaroo representatives ultimately did not get to meet Cliff. Two days later, the three parties parted ways unhappily due to disagreements.

Putting aside the unpleasantness between the three parties, none of the 29 participants in the investigation into the attacking party gave up.

An opponent lurking deep in the dark sea, all parties were unable to come up with effective means to deal with him for a while.

This is difficult to accept for all parties who have always been accustomed to considering themselves as the great powers of the blue planet.

"Brother, I envy you. You can go out and play as long as you want."

"You've been away for so many days and haven't contacted your family. When you come back, your uncle will at most say a few words to you."

"Unlike me, I either do homework or take extra classes every day. I don't even have time on weekends. I'm so miserable."

The two brothers sat in Wu Kai's room, listening to the boy complaining, and Wei Jiang could only smile.

"Don't be ungrateful. When you finish the college entrance examination and go to university, you will have plenty of living expenses and you can travel around the country as you please."

Looking at the cupboards full of figures and toys, I marvel at the rich material life of this kid Wu Kai.

Wei Jiang stood in front of the Iron Man suit and stared carefully at every seam of the armor in the glass cabinet.

"There are still several months left."

"Being an honor student is a burden. I might as well be like you."

Wei Jiang was amused by the boy's complaints and shook his head, not planning to continue talking about this with Wu Kai.

Pointing to the glass case containing the Iron Man suit, he said:
"Can you open the glass case so I can see this thing?"

When Wu Kai heard Wei Jiang talking about the Iron Man suit, his expression changed immediately.

"Of course, brother, do you think this thing is cool too?"

Wei Jiang could only nod and agree with Wu Kai as his cousin still had such a childish temper even though he was in his third year of high school.

"Handsome, handsome, don't be so proud. If you can, then open it."

"I'll study it."

Seeing that Wei Jiang had similar tastes to his, Wu Kai acted very generously and took out the key to the glass cabinet from the drawer next to him.

"Hehehe, brother, you can do research, but you have to be careful."

"If it's bumped, it'll have to be returned for repair."

"Okay, I got it, don't hesitate."

Seeing Wei Jiang showing impatience, Wu Kai curled his lips and opened the glass cabinet.

The two brothers worked together to take out the battle suit and placed it on Wu Kai's bed.

He didn't pay much attention to it when it was placed in the glass cabinet, but when he held it in his hand, Wei Jiang discovered that the armored parts were very light. He touched it with his hand and found that it was made of hard plastic.

"It's just a showpiece." Wei Jiang seemed a little disappointed, as he thought it would be made of metal.

After hearing Wei Jiang's comments, Wu Kai was obviously dissatisfied.

"Look at the lines and interfaces. They are great."

"It can be worn. You won't find an Iron Man suit on the market that is as authentic as this one."

Wei Jiang smiled and did not refute. He picked up the armor on his left arm and tried to put it on his forearm.

Wei Jiang was thin, so the arm armor was the right size for him to put on.

"Be careful, don't bump into anything."

Seeing Wei Jiang's actions, Wu Kai stood aside and became nervous.

Ignoring the boy's nonsense, Wei Jiang quickly put on all the parts except the boots.

Standing in front of the dressing mirror and putting on the mask, the gold and red armor does look handsome.

Trying to move his limbs, Wei Jiang discovered that there were many problems with the design of the joints of this armor.

The swinging range of his arms was obviously not flexible enough, and the collision between the leg armor and the hip armor forced Wei Jiang to take only small steps.

“It’s very inconvenient to move around.”

Looking at his strange movements in the mirror, Wei Jiang was very dissatisfied with this set of armor worth tens of thousands of yuan.

"That's enough. This outfit is eye-catching enough to wear outside."

"To meet your requirements, unless it is a prop from the Marvel crew."

Wu Kai was very dissatisfied with the shortcomings pointed out by Wei Jiang.

It's just a toy to show off its coolness, not a real battle suit, so why do you have so many requirements?

I carefully took the parts off my body. I thought I could use them as a reference, but it turned out to be just a showpiece.

Taking off the last piece of leg armor, Wei Jiang said disappointedly:

"It's really easy to make money here. They dare to sell it for tens of thousands at this level."

Wu Kai's face was extremely grim. He picked up the armor parts of the battle suit and carefully put them back into the glass cabinet.

"you are annoying."

"This is already the most restored one on the market, and it's still very picky."

"Unless you can find something better than mine, I can only understand that you are just jealous."

Seeing that the boy was really angry, Wei Jiang felt that he had indeed gone too far.

"I'm wrong. Your battle suit is very handsome. I wish I had one when I was in school."

The perfunctory comfort did not work, Wei Jiang shook his head and walked out of the room.

"Study hard, I won't bother you anymore."

When I came to the living room, my father Wei Yonghe and my cousin were watching TV, and my uncle Wu Qisi was busy with business outside and had not returned home.

Sitting in a corner of the sofa, Wei Jiang took out his mobile phone and began to search for the design drawings of Iron Man suits by enthusiasts.

The three previous reinforcements of Manta Ray have been completed, and there is an opportunity to anchor the new product.

Choosing the next anchor product has become something Wei Jiang must consider now.

Wei Jiang had a very enjoyable experience confronting the Ugly Eagle exercise fleet!
It is definitely a fact that his record is brilliant, but he also sees his own shortcomings.

Wuling mini and manta ray were strengthened three times respectively, allowing Wei Jiang to have attack power that surpasses current humans in some aspects.

Laser guns, laser cannons, and cold weapon vibration cutting, these three methods absolutely surpass all human weapons.

The strengths are obvious, but the weaknesses are even more obvious.

Wei Jiang couldn't stay in the car or the Manta cockpit forever. There were too many time and space that the 50mini and the Manta couldn't reach.

For example, Wei Jiang lacks the ability to deal with aerial targets.

A battle suit of armor that can fly and hide is the solution Wei Jiang has thought of now.

If well designed, it can be adapted to water, land and air.

“The things made by these Marvel fans look cool, but they are not practical enough.”

The search was fruitless, Wei Jiang threw his phone aside, looked up and sighed, knowing that he had to rely on himself.

While Wei Jiang was daydreaming, his father Wei Yonghe switched the channel to the news, and what the host said on TV caught Wei Jiang's attention.

"According to our station, this morning a social media platform on the Internet broke the news that a major incident occurred during the Ugly Eagle Ocean Exercise."

"The whistleblower said that the power systems of the various maritime equipment participating in the exercise were almost all damaged, and the Rim of the Ocean exercise ended hastily two days ago."

"The whistleblower claimed that no less than one ship was destroyed and sank to the bottom of the sea, and the loss of personnel was no less than 100."

"Once this information was leaked, it caused a huge uproar on the Internet."

"On a daily basis, someone said on the Internet that a friend who was serving at sea has lost contact."

"For specific details, please see our detailed report."

Seeing what was being broadcast on TV, Wei Yonghe and his sister did not show any extra reaction, but Wei Jiang, who was sitting next to them, had a strange smile on his face.

'The sequel is finally here.'

"The Ugly Eagles are definitely nervous, as they are the ones that have had the most ships castrated by the Manta Rays."

"But who broke the news? It's so disrespectful to Ugly Eagle."

Thinking of his own ships that he had encountered at sea before, Wei Jiang couldn't help but begin to doubt his own people.

"No way? This is going to hit Ugly Eagle in the heart."

No matter what, Wei Jiang supports it as long as it can put an end to Ugly Eagle's arrogance and see it embarrassed internationally.

At the Beidu International Airport, an Il-76 passenger plane landed at the airport. Ten minutes later, a convoy of several black cars left the airport.

In the middle car, two tall, blue-eyed men in black suits sat in the back seat with cold expressions.

This visit to the University of East China is of great importance. What happened in the waters of Hawaii is no longer a secret among the top leaders of all parties on Blue Star.

The Ugly Eagle suffered heavy losses, which is simply the biggest news on Blue Star in the 21st century.

The man sitting in the left seat looked at the neon-lit buildings outside the car window, his expression solemn and envious.

"General Manager, do you think it was done by Dongda?"

Another Slavic man wearing glasses and looking a little old shook his head.

"I do not know."

"Under the current situation, if it wasn't us, then it could only be Todai."

“Although I don’t think that the University of Tokyo is that far ahead in military technology.”

"I had Kegebo leak the information this morning to see how all parties would react."

"I mainly want to observe the reaction of the University of Tokyo."

The assistant nodded silently after hearing this. The information on the Internet was the secret information leaked by White Bear.

In the past two years, due to the war in the west, White Bear has been restricted in various aspects internationally, and the current situation can be described as difficult.

If this incident can be used to divert international attention, White Bear and his men will certainly not let it go.

“If Todai refuses to admit that it was them who did it, what should we do?”

The old man called the chief looked forward, and the question he asked was actually quite meaningless.

"What can we do? All we can do is get closer to Dongda."

"After this incident, whether Ugly Eagle shrinks or goes crazy, we can only rely on Dongda."

His tone was full of helplessness. The White Bears had a very difficult time in the past two years. From top to bottom, including himself, everyone was trying to hold on in order to maintain consumption in the Western Conference.

"That being the case, we must find out whether the University of Tokyo was involved in this incident!"

“This is very important to us!”

"No one is willing to directly confront such a force, including Ugly Eagle and us."
