After the last 90mm rocket was fired, the weapons officer was still not satisfied and took control of the 30mm autocannon to fire at the target area again. After all, it was all about testing the weapon's performance, and the test was only considered complete when the ammunition belt was fired out.

As for what happens to the drug dealers, that's no longer their concern. Their mission is simply to empty all their ammunition and collect data on weapons and equipment.

Rat-a-tat-tat... Bursts of dirt exploded on the ground. The drug dealers in the blast zone were very patient; even when hit by 30mm machine gun fire, they didn't make a sound.

When all the machine guns fired into the air, the target area fell into complete silence. Flames crackled and popped as they burned in the target area, and the bags of rock candy were engulfed by the flames of the explosion.

Just then, Brother Li lifted Boss Zhang off his body, who was acting as a shield. Boss Zhang was no longer arrogant as before. His pupils were slightly dilated. Half of his head had been blown off by shrapnel, and his eyeballs had been blown out of their sockets, with only nerves hanging on them.

"cough cough..."

Brother Li didn't dare to stand up. His whole body was in pain. He looked down at his left leg, which was in the most pain, and saw that half of it was blown to pieces...

Li Ge unbuckled his belt and tightened it around his left leg, then laboriously crawled toward a hidden corner. He realized that the attackers were not border guards, but the army!

escape!

Only by escaping can...

The shrill sound, like a five-speed electric fan, came from the sky, almost within arm's reach. Li Ge, who was crawling, froze and struggled to turn over to look at the sky.

Against the backdrop of the firelight, a blurry outline hovered in the sky, and the next second a red laser beam struck Brother Li in the chest.

Instantly, the focused laser pierced his lungs, and the high temperature of the laser burned the area around his lungs to almost zero, making every breath an ordeal.

After being tortured for four minutes, the shock caused by the severe burns caused Brother Li to lose consciousness and slowly lose vital signs.

Chapter 290 SSN (X)

*Snap!* Zhou Mingrui snapped his fingers, and the portal slowly opened. Countless supplies were transported to Earth through the portal, while some supplies from Earth were also transported to Mingrui Star.

Zhou Mingrui stared listlessly at the oil being transported to Earth. This oil didn't even require much extraction; it could simply be pumped from the lake using water pumps...

High-quality oil is bottled and shipped to Earth. According to experts, the cost of each barrel (158.98 liters) of oil is only 20 RMB. The cost also includes the barrels used to store the oil, the wear and tear on the pumps, and transportation fees... It's practically dirt cheap.

Looking at the goods coming and going through the portal, Zhou Mingrui felt a little tempted to go to Earth and see what changes had taken place in the country over the past four years.

Perhaps Zhou Mingrui is unaware that the large-scale transportation of oil has prevented China from being held hostage, and the inexhaustible oil supply has given China more confidence.

The development of superconducting minerals and the research and development of superconducting batteries, which can be charged and discharged quickly, have brought about tremendous changes to China's automotive industry.

A large number of new energy vehicles have gradually replaced traditional fuel vehicles, which has not only rapidly reduced carbon emissions but also saved oil consumption. China is gradually phasing out fuel vehicles in the country and expects to reduce the number of fuel vehicles to about 1%-3% of the current number within 10 years, and completely eliminate fuel vehicles within 20 years.

Now that carbon emissions have gone down, the rabbit is starting to turn around and bang its head on the heads of Western societies... Look, look! My carbon emissions have gone down, shouldn't you also reduce your emissions? Or maybe next year's carbon emission quota should be reduced by fifty percent?

Although gasoline-powered cars are gradually being phased out of the civilian market, the military will continue to use fossil fuels, at least for vehicles like all-electric tanks, armored vehicles, and helicopters, which will still rely on fuel.

It will take until superconducting battery technology is fully mature and has stood the test of time for the military to gradually switch to electrically propelled vehicles. However, using all-electric power on drones is still feasible.

However, there's a strong possibility that the vehicles might skip electricity altogether and directly use thermonuclear gas turbines or thermonuclear batteries...

Of course, the civilian sector is most affected, because the ample supply of oil and its withdrawal from the civilian fuel sector also means that oil has become a chemical raw material, and sufficient oil supply means that raw material prices will fall.

Before they knew it, the rabbits noticed that clothes had become cheaper. Clothes that cost several hundred yuan had dropped in price by 30%, and those from Hongxing Erke had dropped by 50%... In particular, domestic brands such as Peak and Hongxing Erke, with their high quality and low prices, gradually surpassed foreign brands and became the brands that the little rabbits were eager to buy.

Hongxing Erke, having made a profit, doesn't forget to give back to consumers. Its products are priced so low that they can crush European and American brands. They use supercritical foaming technology and non-Newtonian fluid technology to make "national-level" sports shoes... technologies that are only found in shoes costing over a thousand yuan in Europe and America can be found in domestic shoes for 300 yuan!

Unbeknownst to many, young consumers have begun to favor domestic brands, since domestic brands have become increasingly careless and have even started exploiting consumers.

It's not just clothing; many people have noticed that food prices have also dropped without them realizing it, or at least the increase has been minimal. Vegetable and meat prices have fallen, and cooking oil prices have also decreased.

Wages are rising steadily, while food prices are only increasing slightly, which is equivalent to a de facto increase in wages.

What truly shocked the little rabbits was that housing prices had dropped without them noticing, especially in some big cities, where prices plummeted from five figures to four figures.

Many young people have discovered that their monthly salary can buy two square meters of housing. In other words, as long as they are not lazy and work hard, they can buy a three-bedroom, one-living-room house of about 120 square meters after seven or eight years of hard work.

--------------------------------------

Compared to the increasingly prosperous China, the United States, across the ocean, is moving towards the other extreme.

"Safe Injection Centers" are ubiquitous on the streets, insurance services are becoming more and more common, gun ownership terms are becoming more and more relaxed, and even kindergartens are starting to train children on "how to safely avoid being shot."

Zero-dollar shopping sprees continue day after day with various forms of entertainment, while only bookstores remain unscathed. CNN and BBC have given this extensive coverage, with headlines like "Respect for Knowledge" and the added filter of democratic seed oil.

"My dear King, this is our Eagle's next-generation attack submarine program..."

The Secretary of Defense began playing a PowerPoint presentation, showcasing the US's new generation SSN(X) class attack submarines to Trump.

"Your Excellency, our adversaries are growing stronger every day, and our Virginia-class destroyers are already somewhat...outdated!"

"In the next thirty years, our navy will procure a new generation of SSN(X) class ships to meet the challenges!"

The presentation slides indicated that the new generation SSN(X) class will eliminate the vertical missile launch system, focusing instead on a design philosophy of "cat and mouse games" with other submarines in the deep ocean.

Simply put, the US is feeling a bit weak... Lacking confidence in maintaining its technological advantage over the next decade, it has no choice but to transform its business model.

"My Lord, it's not just the Air Force; our Army and Navy also need to transform...in order to meet the challenges of the future."

The U.S. Army possesses a large number of mine-resistant vehicles and patrol vehicles; however, each brigade only has eighteen towed artillery pieces and lacks field air defense firepower other than shoulder-fired Stinger missiles...

An air force that relies on a few super-large air bases, possesses astonishingly high mission efficiency, yet is easily crippled by surgical strikes...

Aside from the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers, the Ticonderoga-class cruisers, and aircraft carriers, there are almost no other new and advanced capital warships...

It's fine for asymmetrical battles, but it struggles against evenly matched opponents.

It's roughly equivalent to perfectly integrating into the Silver rank after playing in the regular rank, only to find that you can't go back to the Challenger rank when you try to play there...

In contrast, the Chinese army across the ocean has already put immense pressure on itself with its Pengkun-class airborne platform alone, and with the White Bird low-orbit spacecraft, all nodes of the US Air Force will become targets with such a space-based platform.

The Chinese Type 055 destroyer has made the US extremely envious, and there's also the upcoming new aircraft carrier.

The US is already feeling the strain of its resources...

Chapter 291 The US is starting to panic.

"My esteemed King, our Joint Chiefs of Staff predict that in ten years, we will encounter new attack nuclear submarines that are sufficiently challenging for the Seawolf-class, or even more advanced than the Seawolf-class!"

"At that time, our great beacon will face challenges far exceeding those of any opponent we have ever faced!"

The King frowned slightly, seemingly still somewhat incredulous that the rabbit had caught up so quickly.

"My King of Knowledge, think back to 2011..."

In 2011, the US's F-Empress, who was unrivaled and invincible in her dream world, encountered 20-Princess... At that moment, the US was a little confused, and even a little incredulous.

"Therefore, our new SSN(X) class possesses similar high-speed underwater navigation capabilities to the Seawolf class, can carry a large number of torpedoes, has more launch tubes, and has undergone upgrades in quietness and sensors..."

"...as long as it's comparable to the Virginia-class submarines, and roughly on par with the Columbia-class strategic nuclear submarines in terms of service life and reliability..."

"...Therefore, my esteemed King, we need funding! More funding!"

"The reactor-driven magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) propulsion system achieves a cruising speed of 40 knots; with MHD propulsion, the maximum speed is 60 knots..."

In a classified facility in China, the chief designer and deputy chief designer were discussing the design of China's next-generation attack nuclear submarine. It wasn't that the speed couldn't be higher, but that if the speed was too high underwater, it would generate noise and affect the operation of the sonar system.

However, its maximum speed of 60 knots alone is enough to confuse many torpedoes.

"...8-10 torpedo tubes, capable of simultaneously attacking underwater and surface targets."

At this point, the deputy chief engineer tapped his index finger on the table and said:

"In that case, we'd need two fully automated torpedo loading machines..."

Loading torpedoes underwater is no simple task for a submarine. It requires very strict control over speed and the external environment, and loading torpedoes also generates additional noise. However, as an attack submarine specifically designed to hunt submarines, the automatic torpedo loading mechanism is specially designed to ensure its quiet operation.

"...However, I think the US's new submarines will probably still use pump propulsion, just like the Seawolf-class. Their speed is far inferior to our magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) propulsion. We can use our speed advantage to quickly seize launch positions, and then switch the torpedoes to MHD propulsion..."

As they talked, the chief designer and deputy chief designer smirked. The US probably wouldn't know until the very end that the new attack nuclear submarine was just a byproduct, mainly used for blasting fish.

Hey America, I have some bad news for you. That PowerPoint presentation you've been working on—the new SSN(X) submarine—is already outdated before it's even been launched!

Meanwhile, in one of Rabbit's secret research institutes, a magnetohydrodynamic silent torpedo was undergoing a flight test.

As a new type of magnetohydrodynamic torpedo, it must undergo rigorous testing before it can be delivered to the navy.

Considering the versatility of torpedoes, the magnetohydrodynamic torpedo adopts a 533mm specification and is equipped with a second-generation superconducting battery to power the magnetohydrodynamic thruster at the rear of the torpedo.

However, unlike conventional torpedoes, magnetohydrodynamic torpedoes are no longer launched through pulse tanks, but instead are launched autonomously, making them much quieter than traditional torpedo tubes.

In other words, once the torpedo tubes of the new attack nuclear submarine are opened, the magnetohydrodynamic torpedo will automatically launch itself and then, under wire guidance, search for its target.

As for why China is so interested in the new nuclear submarine, the biggest reason is the deep sea of ​​Mingrui Star.

There are many treasures on the seabed of the deep sea, but the only weapons that China has to attack deep-sea targets are depth charges, anti-submarine rockets, and torpedoes.

Anti-submarine rockets and depth charges are relatively easy to deal with, but the most technologically advanced are torpedoes. These underwater "missiles" have very strict technical requirements, and so far only a handful of countries on Earth can produce torpedoes.

Whether it's deep-sea warfare, fighting sea monsters, or other strange and unusual things that may be foreseen in the future, torpedoes are the only trump card that China can play.

Monsters have already appeared, how far away can it be before the rabbits fight aliens?

In any case, China will be able to develop new attack nuclear submarines much faster than the United States, because China's need for new attack nuclear submarines is much greater than that of the United States.

Soon... Trump approved the construction plan for the new SSN(X) attack nuclear submarine, costing $58 billion per vessel, with a total of 30 submarines expected to be built over the next 30 years to meet new challenges.

"I hereby declare the Blue Team the victor in this X-day X-exercise..."

In the rabbit's training ground, in the confrontation between red and blue, the red team held out for 4 hours before their command post was destroyed.

At the start, the commander is located in the Pengkun II in the sky, in a state of absolute safety, and can calmly command the battlefield. The red team does not have this privilege and must place its command post in a safe location.

As soon as the battle began, the Pengkun aerial platform implemented full-channel electromagnetic suppression, and then dispatched Chongming Birds for tactical reconnaissance.

The Red team, with considerable experience, set up several fake command posts to confuse the Blue team. However, the Blue team didn't care. Manxia's tactic was simple: upon discovering a command post, he would order a railgun to fire...

Behind Chongming, the Qingluan UAV, carrying anti-radiation missiles, was ready to attack any activated radar at any time.

In response, the Red Team commander could only use their air force resources wisely. After all, according to the Blue Team's setup, any fighter jet that took off would be shot down. The low-orbit White Birds were like war falcons ready to hunt, shooting down any Red Team aircraft exposed at their airfields or those engaging in guerrilla warfare in the air.

Of course, the White Bird's real target is the US's C-17 large strategic and tactical transport aircraft. After all, isn't the US going to play aerial guerrilla warfare? I'll be keeping an eye on your C-17!

Without air support, the Red Force fought an extremely difficult battle. After the air force eliminated the air defenses, a new type of helicopter joined the battle. This flying "tank" caused the Red Force a lot of trouble... The new Z-20 attack helicopter strafed the ground almost while being hit by man-portable air defense systems.

Then the 99B armored group launched a tactical infiltration against the Red Force, cutting off their formation. During the relocation, the Red Force commander was burned to scrap metal along with his armored vehicle by a space-based laser weapon.

The Red Team commander sat down dejectedly, while his opponent, Manxia, ​​smiled... After all, this feeling was too good. It was true asymmetric warfare. I wonder who would dare to raise their voice at the rabbit in the future!

A few days later, a video with completely lost quality suddenly appeared online. A specially designed bulletproof car was turned into an iron coffin after being attacked by a space-based laser weapon, and on the back seat inside... there was a cabbage!
