Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 410 Free Global Shipping!

"What? Just one submarine? Or is it something they've phased out? No, just one submarine, what can that do? You need to form a fleet to have any deterrent effect, right? Oh, by the way, what model is your submarine again?"

Seeing that Ximen Lang had indeed taken the bait as expected, Bai Ling quickly explained.

"You can tell with your own eyes that it's definitely not a good submarine! Although I've never seen this submarine in person, I don't know much about its specific performance."

"But just considering that its maximum diving depth is only 200 meters, it is definitely not a good submarine!"

"After all, this is a submarine! A submarine, a submarine, and it can only dive this far! If it dives any deeper, something bad will happen, you're not doing this."

He gave Ximen Lang a look, and Ximen Lang, who understood immediately, replied right away.

"Isn't this utter nonsense?!"

Their tacit understanding was so great that it felt as if Xia Yiyi had become an outsider, leaving her utterly speechless.

Picking up where Ximen Lang left off, Bai Ling continued.

"Who says otherwise? It's called a submarine, but look at the result! And its displacement is nothing compared to your submarines that weigh tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of tons!"

Even in its most comfortable underwater environment, it only surfaces at most 1000 tons! Its speed is as slow as a tortoise crawling, a mere 13 knots! Its ability to hide, which is its only means of survival, is also utterly terrible! It's so bad that it's beyond description!

Look at him, look at how he's talking.

The Type 613 submarine was indeed a pretty good submarine in 55, and its performance in all aspects was excellent.

But in Bai Ling's mouth, it became a piece of junk that was useless and wrong in every way.

The most outrageous thing is that, instead of comparing something from 55 with her contemporaries, she compared it with things from later eras.

Aren't you looking for trouble?
There's such a long time gap, didn't you know? How can you even compare?!

Xia Yiyi genuinely felt that Bai Ling's actions were somewhat suspicious, and she vaguely sensed that something was amiss, even smelling a hint of conspiracy. Upon hearing this, she no longer wanted Bai Ling to continue.

Picking up where she left off, Xia Yiyi began to speak up for the submarine that Bai Ling disliked so much.

"I know about the 613. Of course, it's a bit old, but it's not as bad as you say, is it? Overall, it's still a pretty good weapon."

We were just getting started when we began talking.

Ximen Lang, who had been completely misled by Bai Ling, was immediately unhappy.

"No, Yi-yi, which eye of yours saw it as good? Its maximum speed is only 13 knots! That's only about 20 kilometers per hour!"

"It only travels about 20 kilometers in an hour. I can run faster than it on a bicycle! At this tortoise-like speed, what can it do? Just stand there and be a live target?"

"And that supposedly ridiculous diving depth? Believe it or not, right now, absolutely right now, I could dive headfirst into the water and go way deeper than that!" (The freediving record is 131 meters, and the current record for scuba diving, which involves using an oxygen tank, is 332 meters!)

"Whether it's displacement, diving depth, or submersible speed, it's all a joke! With this kind of performance, how is it good? What's so good about it? Is there really something wrong with your eyes?"

As if it were a real event, Ximen Lang pressed down on Xia Yiyi's head and prepared to examine her eyes.

Xia Yi was so angry she wanted to bite Ximen Lang. Shaking her head, she pushed Ximen Lang aside.

This directly distanced Ximen Lang from him.

After holding back for a long time, her face turned bright red. She didn't dare confront Ximen Lang directly, telling him that even today, only about 30 countries in the world possess submarines. Seeing that Xia Yiyi had no chance, Bai Ling decisively asked Ximen Lang for clarification.

"Hey, by the way, what are your submarines like? Compared to our 613, yours are definitely stronger, but just how much stronger exactly? Could you tell me about them?"

Because Ximen Lang was in high spirits at the moment, he didn't hesitate at all. When Bai Ling asked about it, he blurted out everything he knew.

"Let me put it this way, we don't even need the most advanced equipment. With our strength, any conventional submarine could wipe you out completely!"

"If we were to show our most advanced nuclear submarine, its diving depth would be at least three times greater, its speed at least 2.5 times faster, and its displacement at least 15 times greater! That's roughly it."

It's no exaggeration to say that Bai Ling was practically drooling while listening.

Feeling it still wasn't shocking enough, Ximen Lang continued.

"Of course, the biggest difference is their external strike capabilities, which can be described as one being in the sky and the other on the ground."

"I don't know much about your 613, but at most it can only show off a little in the near sea. And even that might not be enough."

"How about switching to 096 with free worldwide shipping? Once the Giant Wave 3 is released, the whole world will be within my attack range! Seriously, there will be no blind spots!"

"If you dare to mess with me, an intercontinental ballistic missile carrying at least six nuclear warheads and with a range of up to 14000 kilometers will immediately fly right over your head!"

"And it ignores interception and defense! Let me put it this way, with the current interception system, even if I directly tell you the location and let you prepare in advance, you still absolutely cannot stop or defend against it!"

"In other words, once I launch my missile, it will inevitably hit its target, and no one will be spared!"

His domineering demeanor made Bai Ling's blood boil.

Bai Ling was truly smitten.

However, she also knew that even if the world of Beijing and the future were as close as brothers, the future would never, and could never, give her such strategic-level weapons and equipment.

So, although Bai Ling was absolutely in love with this Type 096 nuclear submarine.

But in the end, she managed to suppress her overwhelming desire.

He continued, settling for the second best option, in the way that Xia Yiyi was most likely to accept.

"If only we could have submarines that powerful. Of course, I know that's unrealistic. Even if you did give them to us, with our current level of technology, we wouldn't be able to operate them properly."

"So, how about this? I don't need anything too advanced, not even yours currently in service. Just a few old submarines that have been retired or are about to be retired, what do you think?"

This is truly a case of the true intentions being revealed.

Seeing that Bai Ling had gone around for so long, she was actually waiting for him here.

Just as Ximen Lang was about to agree as a matter of course, a sentence...
"Shut up!"

Xia Yiyi immediately swallowed back the words that Ximen Lang was about to say.

Then he shook his head.

"I knew this tasted off, Sister Ling! So you were waiting for me here!"
