Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

"Ling'er, Lao Luo, I have some good news, and even better news. Which one would you like to hear first?"

After watching the entire launching ceremony of the Type 076 amphibious assault ship live, the entire world of Sijiucheng was captivated.

The moment it ended, Ximen Lang immediately returned to the Four Nine City World, called Bai Ling and Lao Luo over, and excitedly showed off to them.

"Do you remember when I told you about the sixth-generation fighter jet and the Type 076 amphibious assault ship? When you told me about them one by one, I was a little skeptical. I thought, how could that be possible?"

"Let's forget about the Type 076 amphibious assault ship. After all, no matter how powerful it is, it's not a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. Besides, we already had an aircraft carrier at the time, so it wasn't surprising that we could build this thing. So we thought it was alright and didn't say we didn't believe it."

"To be honest, even the Americans don't really understand sixth-generation fighters. They say we've built one and it's about to have its maiden flight. Honestly, I'm a little skeptical."

"I thought Yi-yi was just bluffing me, that it was impossible, absolutely impossible. But I never imagined that it was all true! Whether it's the Type 076 amphibious assault ship or the sixth-generation fighter jet, it's all real!"

"Especially this sixth-generation fighter jet that even the Americans haven't been able to develop, that's the most amazing thing! That's right, we not only developed it smoothly, but we also developed two models in one go and test-flew both of them!"

"Two models, two models! And each one was manufactured by a different military industrial enterprise! Do you know what that means? Let me put it this way, it's simply invincible!"

"I can even say this directly to you: right now, from the very moment our sixth-generation fighter jet successfully completed its maiden flight, the blue sky above our heads has become ours!"

"It doesn't matter if you're the Soviet Union or the Americans, it's useless, you understand? If we want to, if we're willing, we'll destroy as many of your planes as we can! The eight-for-one exchange is simply not true!"

"Just like back then, you couldn't exchange 100 third-generation fighters for one fourth-generation fighter. In the face of sixth-generation fighters, which have already reached another dimension, no matter how many fifth-generation fighters come, they'll just be easy prey, with absolutely no chance of winning!"

Because this matter was so frequently brought up, Ximen Lang became increasingly excited as he talked about it, and even forgot to pretend to be innocent.

He pulled out various devices and began to enthusiastically introduce the awesome features of the sixth-generation fighter jet while playing videos that the audience had already seen before.

Yes, you read that right. Whether it was the maiden flight of the sixth-generation fighter jet or the launch of the Type 076 amphibious assault ship, Bai Ling and Lao Luo had already seen it all.

In particular, the launch of the Type 076 assault ship was something that Bai Ling and others in Beijing had just watched live from the beginning.

As for how to view it...
Bai Ling's situation was relatively easy to resolve, since her cell phone had internet access. When Ximen Lang left, he didn't sever the connection between the guard battalion's location and the future.

If you want to watch, just use your phone to browse.

Even if Bai Ling didn't know, she didn't see the overwhelming online publicity about the launching ceremony.

She also had Gao Cheng, a person from the future, who maintained contact with the future at that time.

Just so you know, Bai Ling and Lao Luo will be able to see it soon.

The key point is that several key leaders in Beijing, namely Bai Ling's elders, were actually invited by people from the future. Can you believe it?
That's right, it was the Beijing Liaison Office that had just moved into Sijiucheng World and started operating in Sijiucheng.

Moreover, having just opened for business, they immediately went through official channels and sent formal invitations to several key leaders in Beijing.

As for how the Beijing Liaison Office managed to obtain the live broadcast signal...
It's very simple. Just as Ximen Lang didn't cut off the signal network of the guard battalion after leaving, he also didn't cut off the signal network in Beijing after leaving.

In addition, to ensure a stable power supply for the steel rolling mill, Simon Lang even specially connected a dedicated power line from the future for the mill.
In later generations, it would be very simple and normal to take this opportunity to add another network cable to this dedicated line.

Naturally, the launch of the Type 076 amphibious assault ship and the maiden flight of the sixth-generation fighter jet were no secrets in Beijing.

Therefore, Bai Ling and Lao Luo are in a particularly awkward situation.

Of course, the shock is still very shocking.

But it was precisely because these two major events were so shocking that they had already been shocked long before Ximen Lang arrived.

Therefore, Bai Ling and Lao Luo's reactions were somewhat indifferent, far less excited than Ximen Lang had imagined.

They assumed that Bai Ling and Lao Luo had no concept of sixth-generation fighter jets or Type 076 amphibious assault ships, and didn't know how powerful they were.

Ximen Lang quickly continued the introduction.

"I won't say much about sixth-generation fighters, because it's the first of its kind, and all its parameters are still classified, and top secret, for reasons such as that. Not to mention you guys, even I don't know much about it. But it's definitely no problem to crush fifth-generation fighters and rub other fighters in the ground."

"Today we'll mainly talk about the Type 076 amphibious assault ship. Do you know what our official displacement is? Over 4 tons! That 'over' part is quite clever! Because we really have a tradition in this regard! Our Type 003 aircraft carrier also has an officially announced displacement of over 8 tons!"

"But in reality, its size is not only no smaller than the US Ford-class aircraft carrier, but it may even be larger! You know, the official displacement of the Ford-class aircraft carrier is a full 112,000 tons! In fact, our 80,000-plus tons has caught up in size! So the word 'plus' really has a lot of meaning, it may be more than 20,000 tons more than that!"

As he spoke, Simon Lang took out his phone and found a comparison image of 3D models of the Type 003 aircraft carrier and the Ford-class aircraft carrier online.

This set of comparison pictures directly conveyed the essence of the character "余" (yu), leaving Bai Ling and Lao Luo speechless for a moment.

Should we say that later generations were humble, or that they just loved to secretly hide things?
Continuing on from where we left off, Ximen Lang said.

“所以，076型两栖攻击舰的这个4万余吨的余字，同样是大有学问。40001吨是4万余吨，49999吨同样也是4万余吨！”

"In addition, the flight deck of the Type 076 reaches a terrifying 12000 square meters or more, which is 1.5 times that of the US amphibious assault ships. It is not unreasonable for outsiders to call it our Type 004 aircraft carrier."

"And the electromagnetic catapult equipped on the 076 is no ordinary electromagnetic catapult! Because the electromagnetic catapult it is equipped with is the same as the one on the 003, which means that it not only has the ability to operate STOVL fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft, but it can also operate any fighter jet that the 003 aircraft carrier can operate!"

"Aircraft like the J-15T and J-35 can take off and land on it, which is truly remarkable! In addition, it carries various types of large drones. It's no exaggeration to say that the role it can play is definitely greater than that of an ordinary light aircraft carrier, and by a huge margin!"

"So, it's no exaggeration to say that it has overturned the concept of amphibious assault ships!" The introduction was quite detailed.

Unfortunately, compared to semi-professionals like Gao Cheng who have crammed on this subject, and professionals from the Beijing Liaison Office, they still fall short.

However, Lao Luo and Bai Ling still fully experienced the formidable capabilities of the Type 076 amphibious assault ship.

In addition, there's the consistent tendency of later generations to hoard things, and the tradition of equipping one generation, producing another, and researching yet another.
Bai Ling and Lao Luo had reason to believe that this was definitely not the full strength of the future!
They might have already made progress in developing the real seventh-generation fighter jet, the legendary space fighter!
This is just too outrageous!

No wonder the White House is brightly lit all night, and no wonder the Pentagon is jammed with cars all night.

If it were them, they would also be so worried that they couldn't sleep.

No, just like the Americans, they haven't been able to sleep since the fourth-generation fighter jet made its maiden flight yesterday.

Bai Ling, in particular, had her phone in her pocket, and wow, she spent the entire night scrolling through it.

Moreover, the more you use it, the more energetic you become, and the more addictive it becomes.

As a result, I kept refreshing until today.

Bai Ling finally got a glimpse of the joy that Ximen Lang experienced when he was completely addicted to these electronic products.

Inevitably, Bai Ling began to feel deep concern for the future of Beijing.

Of course, I'm not worried about how Beijing would resist a large-scale invasion in the future, given its current backward state.

In fact, even without sixth-generation fighter jets and Type 076 amphibious assault ships, the future world could still easily defeat the world of Beijing, and Beijing would have absolutely no chance of defeating them!

In addition, many people's fathers from later generations, even Bai Ling's elders, were here, and Ximen Lang's clear stance...
Therefore, Bai Ling was quite relieved about this.

Her main concern was how the people of Beijing should conduct themselves after the city achieved such great breakthroughs and gained such international prestige.

It is foreseeable that if future generations can completely defeat the United States in their struggle, these two major surprises that dealt the United States two heavy blows in succession will be the turning point for their victory!

The turning point has emerged in later generations, but what about in Beijing?
Ximen Lang has been so sincere and devoted to helping Beijing to the best of his ability, and later generations have also provided Beijing with immense assistance. Yet, Beijing's achievements remain limited.

It was so insignificant that even Bai Ling was embarrassed to mention it.

How can this be fixed?
If we keep dragging this out, the fourth-generation tank will be out, followed by manned lunar landings.

Each one is an extraordinary achievement and will surely leave a lasting mark on Ximen Lang's heart!
In contrast, what has the authorities in Beijing done during this period?

Of course, Bai Ling also knew that these things couldn't be rushed.

The major projects that Beijing is currently focusing on, whether it's education, science, or infrastructure, are not projects that will yield results overnight. Each one requires a significant investment of time and effort to achieve success.

Bai Ling still wanted to produce some results as soon as possible, even if these meager results were incomparable to those of later generations, she still had to produce something.

Otherwise, if things continue like this, how can Bai Ling increase the importance of Beijing in Ximen Lang's heart?

Therefore, it is important to achieve results as quickly as possible, no matter what.

This undoubtedly coincides with the thoughts of Luo Yonghao and other high-ranking officials in Beijing.

So, without hesitation, after exchanging glances with Bai Ling and exchanging opinions, Lao Luo decisively brought up the old topic again and tentatively started talking to Ximen Lang about the railway.

"Ah Lang, what do you think about starting to build the domestic railway network now? And the highways, even if we don't build them everywhere right now, let's at least start building highways in a few major cities and along the coast. Connecting these places should be a viable option, right?"

Upon seeing Lao Luo, he immediately said this.

Although he didn't understand why Lao Luo would bring this up out of the blue, Ximen Lang responded immediately.

"Are you kidding? If you want to get rich, build roads first. Even kids in our area know that. How could it not be profitable? There's no more profitable thing than this, okay?"

"But didn't you say last time that the business was expanding too much and the timing wasn't right? That we didn't have enough steel and cement, and we didn't want to continue to take on huge debts."

"You don't even have enough skilled workers, and you don't have many decent construction teams. With so many difficulties and so many problems that urgently need to be solved, why are you bringing this up again?"

The difficulties mentioned by Ximen Lang are indeed objective problems that exist in Beijing, but...
"Times change. The timing wasn't right before, but it's the present now. As for the current difficulties, well, they are quite thorny."

"But how can a grown person die from holding their pee? As the old saying goes, as long as you don't give up, there's always a way! If there's a problem, we'll solve it!"

"And this guy doesn't want to take on huge debts. How can you do something big without taking risks? You can't be afraid to risk your life for small gains!"

"Besides, you wouldn't harm us, nor would you deliberately set a trap for us. And we're not incapable of repaying. So why are we being so hesitant?"

"Let's solve the transportation problem first. Once transportation is solved, goods can be transported from north to south, and it will be difficult for us not to develop! The key is that with the completion of various cold storage warehouses and freezing plants, we really need these transportation lines!"

"So, let's not wait any longer! I'll report this matter now—no, I'll report it right now—and make sure it's resolved as soon as possible!" (End of Chapter)
