Chapter 412 Press Conference, Announcement of Ground Effect Carrier Aircraft
At the same time, Li Yang stood in Yan Country’s secret laboratory, looking calm as usual.
He knew that this storm would come sooner or later. The emergence of energy tanks meant a reshuffle of the global military landscape. The vigilance and anxiety of the United States and Russia were exactly what he expected.
"They question and they panic, which is good." Li Yang's mouth corners slightly raised, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
He knew very well that the superficial doubts and distrust were just the way these countries concealed their fear. Although they kept saying "impossible", they knew deep down that Yan's technology was ahead of them.
And this is just the beginning.
Li Yang walked to a giant display screen in the laboratory, which showed a new energy tank model. Compared with the first sample, the performance of this new tank was more perfect, the armor was stronger, the firepower was more fierce, and the endurance was greatly improved.
"The mass production plan has been launched, and the first batch of energy tanks will be deployed in actual combat within three months." Li Yang said to the assistant beside him, his tone revealing unquestionable determination.
The assistant nodded and quickly wrote down Li Yang's instructions. He knew that with the mass production of energy tanks, Yan's army strength would undergo earth-shaking changes.
Li Yang's eyes were cold, and his fingers tapped the table lightly, as if he was thinking about the next step. The United States and Russia can continue to question, but time will not be on their side. With the official commissioning of the energy tank, Yan's technological strength will completely shock the world.
"They will see," Li Yang whispered to himself, his eyes as deep as the endless abyss, "True power never needs to be explained."
……
On this day, the sky over the capital of Yan State was as high as usual, and the sunlight shone through the thin clouds onto buildings of all sizes.
At this time, a press conference that attracted worldwide attention was being quietly prepared.
Li Yang stood in front of a huge French window, staring at the mountains in the distance, his mind echoing the coming storm. His expression was calm and firm, but deep down he knew that today's release would open a new chapter.
Behind Li Yang, the staff in the conference room were busy and nervous. Several of the latest computer equipment made a slight humming sound, and groups of data flashed across the screen. Everyone's face was a little nervous, and even a little excited. That's right, today they were going to announce to the world an invention that was ahead of its time - a ground-effect aircraft carrier.
This project is one of Li Yang's top works since his time travel, and it is also his precise counterattack against the international situation. Since the partial data of the energy tank was leaked, global suspicion and panic have ensued.
The United States and Russia have stepped up their intelligence gathering on Yan Country, even sending spies and submarines to try to obtain more military secrets.
Faced with this situation, the top leaders of Yan State finally decided to take the initiative and demonstrate Yan State's technological strength to the world with a technology conference that shocked the world.
Li Yang knew very well that this launch would completely break the existing international pattern, especially the emergence of ground-effect aircraft carriers, which would shock the whole world.
The press conference hall in the capital of Yan State was filled with reporters, officials and technology experts from all over the world.
A large screen was hung in front of the audience, with a huge red curtain covering the secret that was about to be revealed. Everyone was waiting with bated breath, their hearts full of doubts and expectations. Offstage, several Russian officers were talking in low voices, their expressions alert and anxious. The intelligence officers from the United States had serious faces, their eyes full of doubt.
"What new tricks are they going to use this time?" a reporter from the United States asked in a low voice, frowning.
"Who knows? It could be another exaggerated propaganda trick of theirs," his colleague curled his lips in disdain. "The energy tank last time was outrageous enough. This time, I'm afraid it's just a publicity stunt."
However, even though these people said they didn't believe it, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous in their hearts. After all, the speed of Yan Country's technological development was far beyond their expectations.
At this moment, the lights in the hall dimmed slightly, and the curtain on the stage slowly rose. Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on the screen, and their heartbeats accelerated involuntarily.
The first thing that appeared on the screen was a spectacular three-dimensional model - a huge aircraft that looked like an aircraft carrier, but it was not floating on the sea, but flying at a low altitude, like a huge seabird, lightly and quickly skimming across the sea. The aircraft had wide wingspans on both sides, and multiple huge thrusters were installed on the bottom of the fuselage.
"What is this?" An engineer from Russia widened his eyes and couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice.
"Ground effect aircraft carrier." Li Yang's voice came from the stage, deep and powerful, as if announcing an incredible fact.
The whole audience was silent for a moment, as if no one could understand the meaning behind this term. You may have heard of ground effect vehicles, but ground effect aircraft carriers, something of this scale, is theoretically impossible to achieve, let alone mass production.
"A ground-effect aircraft carrier is a large-scale combat equipment that uses the principle of ground effect to fly at low altitude and high speed over the sea surface." Li Yang continued to explain, his eyes sweeping across the shocked faces in the audience. "It not only has the combat capability of an aircraft carrier, but can also maneuver around the world at extremely high speeds and break through the interception of traditional air defense systems."
As Li Yang explained, the model on the screen began to demonstrate the working principle of the aircraft. The huge thrusters sprayed hot flames when the aircraft took off, pushing it slowly into the air. Then, it quickly lowered its altitude, close to the sea surface, and glided at an astonishing speed, as if it was completely unaffected by air resistance.
"The power system uses our latest nuclear reactor technology, which can provide continuous and powerful thrust for the aircraft." Li Yang's voice remained calm, but the confidence in his tone made everyone in the audience feel a chill.
"Nuclear reactor?" The intelligence officer of the United States finally couldn't help but curse under his breath, and the pen in his hand drew a deep mark on the notebook. His face was ashen, and he obviously realized what this meant.
The Russian representatives stared at the screen, unable to believe their eyes. For many years, the Russians have been trying to develop ground effect vehicles, but both technology and funding are insurmountable difficulties for them. Especially the power system, which has always been an unsolvable bottleneck. But now, Yan Country has announced that they have overcome this problem and combined ground effect vehicles with aircraft carrier technology to create such a behemoth.
"This is impossible..." a Russian engineer muttered to himself, his eyes full of disbelief.
Li Yang seemed to see through everyone's thoughts and continued, "I know that everyone may question whether such an aircraft can really be realized. We in Yan Country never talk nonsense. Next, please watch the field test video."
After that, the screen switched to a field test scene. On the sea surface in the picture, a huge ground-effect aircraft carrier was slowly moving out, then rapidly accelerating, flying close to the sea surface, and splashing huge water waves as it passed by. The speed of the aircraft became faster and faster, and finally broke through the speed of sound. The sea surface in the picture seemed to be torn apart, leaving a long white wave mark.
The whole place fell into deathly silence again. No one raised any more doubts, and even the sound of breathing gradually faded. Everyone stared at the screen, as if they couldn't believe what they were seeing.
"This...is this true?" A reporter from the United States finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice, with a hint of trembling in his voice.
"Yes, it's true," Li Yang smiled and nodded, "The first actual combat test of the ground effect aircraft carrier has been successfully completed. Its maximum cruising speed can reach 900 kilometers per hour, and its maximum range is over kilometers. In addition, it can also carry dozens of fighter jets and hundreds of missiles."
"This is simply..." The pen in the hand of a Russian official suddenly fell to the ground. He seemed to want to say something, but could not organize any words.
The intelligence officers of the United States looked at each other with complicated expressions. They had always believed that Yan's technology was just a bluff, but the facts before them slapped them hard in the face.
"If these data are true..." a US expert whispered, his tone filled with uncontrollable fear, "then all our air defense systems will be unable to deal with such weapons."
After the press conference, the global media exploded. All the major news headlines were reporting on Yan's new weapon, and editorials and commentary articles were overwhelming. The media in different countries reacted differently, some were full of surprise and suspicion, while others were full of anxiety.
The Post in the United States reported with a headline: "Yan's ground-effect aircraft carrier: a new threat to global military power?" The article analyzed in detail the impact of this new aircraft on the global military structure, especially the threat to the United States' naval power. The media in the United States began to discuss that if Yan really mastered this technology, then the United States' global hegemony would be severely challenged.
The Maozi's "Li Bao" was even more direct: "Yan Country's ground-effect aircraft carrier: challenging the global technological limits!" The article was full of shock and doubt. They couldn't believe that Yan Country could overcome the technical difficulties that they had been unable to solve for decades in such a short period of time.
At the same time, the military departments of various countries also entered a state of emergency. The Pentagon of the United States held several emergency meetings to discuss how to deal with the threat of ground-effect aircraft carriers. The Ministry of Defense of Russia held a meeting all night to try to analyze the source of Yan's technology and speed up their own ground-effect aircraft project.
However, although all countries are stepping up their research on countermeasures, they all know in their hearts that Yan Country has already taken the lead in this global military competition.
