【Chapter 445: Whale Shark Entering the Sea】
"Mr. Ren, do you know what the latest major event in Malaysia has happened?" Kang Tao asked immediately after coming in. ★
"I didn't pay attention to the matter after the Diaomen Island was finalized. The specific matter was left to 6 Yiling to arrange. Recently..." Ren Hong walked out of the desk and came to the gate to signal Kang Tao to go out together: "It just happened that we'll go to the 'Ming Axe Base' together."
"What was born in Malaysia?" Ren Hong asked curiously, and the two were heading towards the open-air helicopter on the dome of the building.
"Look at this!" Kang Tao handed the paper newspaper to Ren Hong. The latter took a brief browsing for a moment, and his eyes felt slightly different: "The news is true?"
"It's true!" Kang Tao said affirmatively.
"The attitude is really firm. Halim is going to make a big bet." Ren Hong returned the newspaper to Kang Tao and said with a smile.
"This shows that the old guy Halim is good at seizing opportunities." Kang Tao said, suppressing his voice and adding: "The above boasts you personally. This is a real surprise. We didn't expect that we would gain such a firm ally in Southeast Asia because of this. Malaysia seems to be determined to stand on our side, and it will take no time to do so."
"I think Malaysia is also very ambitious. Halim put all his treasures on us, hoping to be the number one regional player in Southeast Asia. With the help of our hands, he is indeed an old fox." Ren Hong said. He asked again: "What is the idea above?"
"Ideas? What other ideas? Malaysia is full of sincerity, how can it make friends feel upset? I can only say that Halim's move is beautiful and Western sanctions are a foregone conclusion. Southeast Asian countries are watching with their eyes. Halim's reward made us have to wipe his butt unless we don't fight for other countries, but it is obviously impossible."
Kang Tao thought for a while and added: "As for the idea of Shangfeng, it not only supports your investment in Malaysia, but also hopes that your company will take the lead and lead more domestic companies to invest their assets in Malaysia, so that we can gain more voices to intervene. The government is not convenient and too obvious, and it is most suitable for you to come forward."
"Three days ago, two 210,000-ton cruise ships had already gone out to Hainan to carry out full loads of materials to renovate Diaomen Island. The main workers will use workers from Malaysian regions to bring them the first batch of employment. The subsequent investment will be followed up 6 times." Ren Hong said, Kang Tao, who was listening, nodded silently. The two had arrived at the dome airport of the building. Ren Hong stood under the helicopter and turned to look at Kang Tao, saying, "I can't guarantee whether I can persuade domestic companies, but an announcement will be issued in the name of the company. I still don't want to participate too much in political matters, so as not to get into trouble."
"It's enough to have you. I still believe in the appeal of matrix technology." Kang Tao said with a laugh.
The helicopter slowly took off at the dome airport and headed straight to the direction where the "Mysterious Axe Base" was located.
"How is the progress of the 'Hearing Axe Base'?" Kang Tao asked curiously on the helicopter.
"Today is the day when the whale shark mothership is launched and tried." Ren Hong said: "According to the plan, it will be officially delivered to the Southern Fleet in 15 days."
"What? Can you get into the water?" Kang Tao said in surprise.
Ren Hong smiled and said, "It just came in handy. I'll take it out and show it this time. These little guys from Southeast Asia will clearly realize that no matter how they expand their maritime power, everything will be futile in the face of absolute strength."
"I'm really looking forward to it." Kang Tao was ready to see the style of the whale shark.
Forty-five minutes later, the helicopter arrived at the secret parking lot. Ren Hong and Kang Tao drove into the entrance of the tunnel in a car. The base director Lan Kun, who received the news, had already waited for Ren Hong's arrival, and then led the two to the base to build a ship dock.
At this moment, the huge dock was busy. Kang Tao came to the scene and saw the giant standing on the dock for the first time. His eyes were rounded and he said in a daze: "My God..."
The idle Kang Tao then turned to Ren Hong and said, "Is this the underwater mothership?"
The scene in front of him really scared him. The center of the dock was so huge that it could only see a small part of the mothership. It was incredibly huge and black. It was like a mechanical whale in the center of the dock. The mothership in front of him was already finished, and the keel inside had long been covered. It looked like a metal mechanical whale shark.
The staff and intelligent machinery on the dock were as small as ants in front of the mechanical whale shark. This scene was so shocking.
"That's..." Soon, Kang Tao was attracted by another object. He turned to Lan Kun and asked, "Is that the carrier-based aircraft of the mothership?"
"Not bad!" Lan Kun nodded, Kang Tao looked at the dock again. The main hatch door of the rear of the mothership was open, and carrier-based aircraft entered the interior of the mothership. If it were ordinary carrier-based aircraft, he might not be so surprised. The fighter jets in front of him were really eye-catching. The biggest feature is that the wings of these carrier-based aircraft are all forward swept wings.
Lan Kun saw Kang Tao's shocked expression and explained with a smile: "This is the backbone of the Whale Shark's mount, the Arc Series carrier-based aircraft. Yes, the Arc Attack Aircraft will become a formally swept-wing fighter in my country."
Ren Hong looked at the busy staff on the dock and added: "The forward-sweeping wing fighter is not a novel concept. As early as the 1950s, the ju-287 bomber flew by the German Junckers company set a precedent for the forward-sweeping wing aircraft. The typical representative is the Russian Su-47 fighter known as the "golden eagle". The Americans are also studying the forward-sweeping wing fighter. Its-29 is very similar to the Su-47."
"In the research of forward swept-wing fighter jets, our country lost at the starting line without any surprises." Ren Hong said, and Lan Kun added with a smile: "But we won at the end!"
He continued: "Forward-swepting Wing Fighter is the future trend. Not to mention the 'Republic Eagle', it is indeed abnormal, but one set is worth the cost of an aircraft carrier. The high cost can only be limited to the scope of small-scale special operations. Mainstream large-scale cluster air combat still depends on fighter wings."
"Every country is aware of the advantages of swept wings, structure, maneuver, take-off and landing, control, etc., which are better than swept wing fighters. However, due to materials and complex technology, swept wing fighters have not yet replaced them today, but the trend is very obvious. Otherwise, why would Russia, the United States, and Germany spare no effort to invest in it?"
Lan Kun then smiled and said, "In this regard, we have to mention the 'Republic Eagle'. In terms of high-precision and high-strength hybrid composite technology, the 'Republic Eagle' reserve technology has greatly helped the arc light research. With some core technical support from the 8o3 Institute, the arc light fighter has become the main force of the carrier-based aircraft of the Whale Shark."
As for the introduction, on the dock, the last carrier-based aircraft entered the core of the mothership, and the rear cabin door slowly closed. The staff on the dock began to evacuate the site, while Ren Hong and others on the corridor still did not leave. At this time, Kang Tao saw a piece of transparent steel material pouring out from the edge of the ceiling, slowly descending, and the corridor was completely isolated from the dock.
A huge metal steel door slowly drove out from the crack at the other end. This scene was so shocking that everyone could feel the trembling of the fine steel door as it crossed the entire space.
Twelve minutes later, the dock was completely isolated, and the spotlights at the edges of the corridors and the spotlights at the dome lighted up immediately.
The next moment, several gaps gradually cracked at the bottom of the dock, and a huge amount of sea water poured out from the bottom. In about ten minutes, Kang Tao watched the sea water spread to the height of the corridor where he was, and the water level rose further. It took him more than half an hour to inject sea water into the dock.
When the sea water filled the entire closed dock, at the front end of the mothership, the giant metal gate at the end slowly contracted to both sides. The dock entrance was built on the edge of the seaside riverbed, and the outside was the South China Sea.
The twenty-four bone columns supporting the mothership were retracted from the bottom, and the whale shark mothership was quietly suspended in the water.
The ocean outside the dock belongs to its world.
The acting captain on the bridge inside the mothership endured his excitement, stared at the dark sea in front of the gate, and gave an order: "Order, come out!"
The whale shark with a displacement of up to 160,000 tons finally started to move. It has more than 20,000 joints, five main propulsion engines and 1ooo micro-engines on the hull, which give this 160,000 tons behemoth amazing flexibility.
Kang Tao looked shocked at the mothership, twisting his body in the huge dock like a living whale shark, slowly "swimming out" the dock.
At this moment, the staff standing on the corridors watched the whale shark seat sail into the sea. Its black body quickly merged into the depths of the dim ocean. Only the indicator light on the hull could see that he was still not far away. After a while, the only light source disappeared.
At this moment, the staff members slapped their high-highs excitedly. When they saw the mothership sailing out of the dock, everyone felt that all their efforts and sweat were not in vain.
"From now on, there will be no worries in the South China Sea!" Kang Tao murmured to himself.
