Strategic Alliance

After the wonderful and ground and air review ceremony, the military parade of Moncalieri came to an end, and finally there was a salute session, which was launched by the warships in Cagliari Naval Port, and fired into the sky. The two warships fired ten shots in total. Celebrating the Queen's tenth anniversary on the throne.

  There are programs on the harbor side, and tourists come and go.

  In addition to paying attention to the Army Air Force, foreign journalists are also very yearning for the unconventional design of the Royal Shipyard of Cagliari-their warships feel like...submarines. It is usually only about one meter above the water, and with a gray body, it is easy to be ignored without turning on the navigation lights.

There are two lazy ships moored in the military port. They were motionless during the military parade in Moncalieri, but foreign journalists and local residents know that these two ships are nuclear-powered cruisers with a displacement of about 10,000 tons. A small piece, or sink in the water.

  According to official data, its power system is a magnetic fluid propeller, which does not use conventional propellers or water jet propulsion, but two superconducting parallel guide rails, and the magnetic force generated after electrification pushes seawater. In the submerged state, the fastest speed reaches 130 knots, and the fastest surface is 100 knots.

At present, the Ford-class aircraft carrier in the United States has a maximum speed of about 40 knots, and the destroyer of the aircraft carrier fleet has a speed of about 45 knots. The concept of 130 knots (about 240 kilometers per hour), the fastest torpedo can't catch up. Just as unmatched as an F1 Jet Ski.

   This also explains why the cruiser dives into the water, only revealing a small section. If it is all on the sea surface, the wind resistance is too large, and it is difficult not to reach such a high speed, so its design is sharp knife-shaped, which is convenient to break through the sea water in front when accelerating forward.

However, no matter whether it is 100 knots on the water surface or a faster speed underwater, it is not something humans can bear for a long time. Sea surface navigation is different from land. The speed of a warship at 40 knots is already very bumpy. All throwing up and enjoying the trip.

  So these two cruisers are operated by robots, with robot rails installed inside. A unit of machine has multiple arms, without a cumbersome body, and can maintain battleships and detect faults more efficiently than humans. There will be no such state of "physical discomfort".

In terms of weapons and equipment, the official published data is relatively simple. It is equipped with a 128-unit vertical launch system, which can use missiles of different specifications and is compatible with some mainstream NATO models; it is equipped with three electromagnetic guns, one dead light gun, and There are electromagnetic interference systems.

  The outside world claims that this thing is used in conjunction with the XF-5 aerospace fighter-it is also impossible for people to catch up.

This is the first time that housekeeping weapons have been shown. After the military parade in Moncalieri, the two warships surfaced about one meter above the water. There is no doubt that it adopts a radar stealth design.

The gun barrel was raised high, and accompanied by the sound of electric shock, two salutes flew into the air at supersonic speed, exploded rumblingly, and fired a second volley two seconds later...Foreign reporters and spies have been pressing the shutter, hoping to get More information, but after five salvos, the battleship dived to the bottom of the water and left in a low-key manner.

  …

  The Queen's coronation commemorative military parade ends here.

  The projects displayed are not as many as last year, but they are all elite and world-leading on stage, whether it is ground forces or air, or the mysterious seabed, they are all unique. Although some American media are singing bad news, Europe is uncharacteristically optimistic.

  Reason...they delivered the order.

The European members of NATO and North American members have gradually diverged in values, first reflected in their vague attitude towards Sardinia, and after more cooperation in the future, they have already protected them and even invited Sardinia to join NATO - but they are not very interested.

   Thoughtful European powers actually don't want to be the younger brother of the United States in NATO, so they only had a few symbolic invitations, and then there was no follow-up. At present, France is eagerly trying to obtain technology from Sardinia. They are very envious of China, which buys technology at a high price.

  France can also pay a high price, but they intend to barter.

Since the last unofficial visit failed to achieve effective progress, the matter has shifted to the bright side. After several conference calls, the leaders of the two sides discussed with each other about strategic cooperation and territorial issues, and then talked about the development of resources on the moon. Hope to catch the last train.

  Facts have proved that this is as bad as Anfeng's use of the super grid to tantalize his appetite many years ago.

  Super grid... Finally, when Sardinia was showing off its inexhaustible electricity, and Italy was walking around with its tongue sticking out, other countries also showed their favor one after another. For the future energy supply of Europe, the multinational group sat together and negotiated... The result made An Feng very satisfied.

The last part of the super grid ended in June last year. The tax contribution of this contribution is very considerable. Thanks to the blessing of the royal family, the Sardinian government will be able to collect taxes and fees for electricity in Europe for a long time in the future—because the royal family will collect electricity fees. About 30% or so.

  An Feng's current appetite is that the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuchs are not in a hurry. Next year, another launch will be imminent, and it is estimated that there will be a period of rest in the future. At present, capable countries are racing against time, and France is not far behind. Although it does not belong to itself, it is comfortable to take a ride.

   Countries discuss interests with countries, and An Feng occasionally cares. At present, he still can't see the result he wants. The answer is always refusal. Even if the Congress agrees, it will be useless. If the queen does not sign the bill, the bill will not take effect. So he's comfortable discussing some... science with Fred.

  Fred admired his father very much, and he always had unique opinions in academics. Today he is concerned about energy and space travel: "The energy produced by chemical reactions is limited. If you want to travel longer distances and break through the solar system, can you completely use nuclear energy as a substitute?"

An Feng said: "Isn't it an exploration aircraft? The electricity generated by the nuclear reaction can accelerate charged particles, causing them to be ejected and propel the aircraft forward. Aircraft, capable of containing a reactor."

  Fred asked: "Besides this, is there anything with higher energy?"

"Antimatter, the energy generated by its reaction, can constrain charged particles to be ejected at a super-high speed, so that the interstellar spacecraft can gain thrust. You know, the mass lost in the nuclear reaction is very small. According to the mass-energy equation, it is far less than 1 % of the mass can be converted into a huge amount of energy—far exceeding any chemical energy of human beings. Antimatter annihilation can reach 100%, which can be called the ultimate energy source."

"can you do it?"

  An Feng smiled: "Maybe, there may be a chance to try it in the future, why do you suddenly care about these things?"

  Fred said: "I think in addition to nuclear fusion propulsion, aerospace aircraft should be stronger."

   "Maybe that thing should be called 'Spaceship', kid." An Feng stood up, "It's getting late, we should go back and report to your mother."

  In fact, Hal is already designing the spaceship imagined by An Feng.

   It's just that he is still in the stage of interest. He wants to see the renderings first. As for when it will be developed, it is unknown.

  Backing home by car, Prime Minister Mancini and an assistant walked out of the door. He greeted An Feng a few times, and then left in a hurry.

  An Feng walked into the house, saw Joanna, and asked, "Is he rushing to eat?"

  Joanna smiled: "He doesn't have that kind of leisure. There are a lot of things going on recently. Many countries want to form a strategic alliance with us to develop the moon."

   "What's going on this time?" An Feng asked.

   "Let's go for a walk in the back." Joanna said, An Feng walked with her in the back garden. She said: "France has discussed with us before, and also considered that if France does this alone, it may be pressured by other countries, so France will bring others."

   "That's clever." An Feng said, he didn't think that France could solve the development of the lunar land with Sardinia alone at the beginning.

"They called Germany and the United Kingdom to plan to form a strategic alliance on the moon, relying on our side to develop the area we delineated, because they currently do not have strong enough ground technology. In the future, we will provide them with technology support and protection."

  An Feng approved: "Not bad, if I also use this method."

It is too difficult for several major European countries to land on the moon and open up land by themselves, but they choose to be within the more than 10 million square kilometers designated by Sardinia, just around their recognized area, and the Sardinia base can also take care of it. At the same time, the land is also implemented, and it is no longer a monopoly.

  Joanna frowned: "Don't just say yes, what's your opinion?"

  An Feng only cares about one thing: "What kind of price can they give? There is no such thing as giving up land for free and helping them watch their homes for free."

  Joanna said: "France intends to exchange Corsica, and the other two will pay for maintenance costs, as well as cooperation in strategic technology on Earth to form a protection agreement."

   "How big do they want it?"

   "Within the range we can take care of, it is about 1 million square kilometers, and the base built for the second time can just radiate that range."

   "It can be considered." An Feng nodded. To be honest, he didn't plan to occupy much land on the moon. He was satisfied with more than one million people, and the resources there were enough for tens of thousands of years... As for ten thousand years later, it is unknown whether there will be human beings, and he still cares about these?

Sell ​​the land that verbally belongs to Sardinia, but that no one recognizes—using the land of Corsica, the maintenance fees of the two foreign countries, and the alliance of the earth—they are asking us to help you stand up to the old It is a good idea to discuss cooperation under the banner of pressure from the United States and the world.

   In fact, it is also acceptable, after all, strictly speaking, that place is not his.

  Joanna said: "Mancini asked me just now, the other party is very sincere, what should we do?"

  An Feng replied: "Let's start negotiations, but more detailed provisions are needed. If appropriate, the territory of Sardinia will be expanded in the future."
