125: Let the Eagle feel the shock of a hundred years ago!

Chapter 125: Let the Eagle Nation Experience the Shock of a Century Ago! Replicate the UH-60 'Black Hawk' Helicopter!

Should he go to Oak Ridge National Laboratory?

The moment this thought surfaced in Lu Ze's mind, he decisively rejected it.

'Now is not the time to go to such a place.'

Although the temptation to go to Oak Ridge National Laboratory was great, especially for Lu Ze, a higher-level laboratory would mean easier access to top-tier technology, which seemed to offer many benefits.

But currently, Lu Ze was already very familiar with LLNL Laboratory and the entire Bay Area. Changing to an unfamiliar environment meant starting everything from scratch.

Moreover, once transferred to Oak Ridge National Laboratory, even under the protection of a professor with 'pivotal' status, it would probably not be so simple for him to casually access high-tech items.

After all, with a Slav and a Da Xia person, it would be strange if the Eagle Nation didn't have some precautions against them.

On the contrary, by staying at LLNL Laboratory, with Lucy's assistance, he could access many high-tech items, smoothly advance his 'employee level' within the laboratory, and be regarded as one of their own by the laboratory's senior management.

Furthermore, Lu Ze was also unsure whether Professor Hassen was helping the Eagle Nation probe him.

Who knew if there was some conspiracy? If he agreed directly, wouldn't he be walking 'into the tiger's den'?

So, no matter how he thought about it, staying was the best option.

"Professor, I still prefer to stay with you. Slavs love to drink too much."

"You know me, I'm not even as good as Lucy when it comes to drinking," Lu Ze said, somewhat jokingly, as he declined the kind offer.

Regardless of Michael Hassen's intentions, whether good or bad, he could not leave LLNL Laboratory at the moment.

"As for returning to Da Xia, I will handle it, please rest assured."

"You can handle it?" Professor Hassen looked suspicious.

Is the Eagle Nation a place you can come and go as you please? Once Lu Ze's employee access is upgraded to C-level or even B-level, how could they let him leave easily?

Just then, he saw the smile in Lu Ze's eyes.

He immediately understood something; this kid was no ordinary 'genius'.

"With your relationship with Lucy, perhaps you can indeed solve this problem."

Michael Hassen's voice carried a mix of emotion and envy.

Although Lu Ze, like him, was an outsider in Eagle Nation society.

Lu Ze's situation was completely different. As Lucy's best friend.

Even if he was promoted to 'C-level' or 'B-level' employee, for situations like the two of them traveling to Da Xia together during the summer vacation, who in the entire laboratory would dare to say 'no'?

In fact, as long as Lu Ze could become Lucy's partner, with this identity, even if he was promoted to 'A-level employee', he could safely return to Da Xia.

After all, in the Eagle Nation, it is fundamentally a pyramid society structured by 'capital', where privileges only serve a select few at the top.

Lucy happened to be one of those privileged people, a minority among minorities.

"If you have any problems in the future, you are welcome to come to me."

Michael Hassen patted Lu Ze's shoulder, then continued, "After all, in a place like this, the two of us should have more in common."

Although this conversation ended in failure, Professor Hassen still very much wanted to win over his student, Lu Ze.

After all, in his opinion, the two of them were truly kindred spirits.

If Lu Ze really stayed in the Eagle Nation long-term, he would be even more likely to become a 'confidant' for decades.

And Lucy? She was destined not to earn his favor.

As a Slav, he might not be hostile to all Eagle Nation people.

But Professor Hassen hated the upper class of the Eagle Nation who had destroyed his entire country and nation, as well as the parasites within the Slav nation.

He gazed at Michael Hassen's gradually receding back.

'There are quite a few Slav scientists in the various laboratories and research institutes across the Eagle Nation.'

Lu Ze stroked his chin and mumbled.

Especially the batch of Slav scientists who came to the Eagle Nation from the 1990s, their numbers were countless.

Who knew how many of them held the same ideas as Michael Hassen?

And this not-to-be-underestimated force, if utilized properly, could definitely produce an incredibly explosive effect.

To set off a big firework for the entire Eagle Nation!

'It seems after this replication is complete, I'll have to go find my 'Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Fledgling'.'

A smile played on Lu Ze's lips.

Slavs plus 'Socialism', it's time to let the Eagle Nation experience the shock of over a hundred years ago.

At three o'clock in the afternoon.

LLNL Laboratory, Maintenance Center Area.

Lu Ze glanced at Lucy, who was drowsy behind him, and sighed helplessly.

Without a doubt, she must have slept until after 1 PM again. If she hadn't been too hungry, she probably wouldn't have gotten out of bed.

Stepping into this Ammunition Depot storing various weapon equipment, Lu Ze intended to search for valuable technological items to replicate here, in order to unlock a purple lottery draw.

Commonly known as treasure hunting.

However, Lu Ze carefully scanned the situation inside and immediately frowned: "Hmm?? What's going on?"

"The Apache and Chinook helicopters, they seem to be gone?"

His initially envisioned best replication targets when he arrived were one of these two.

One was a heavy armed helicopter, the other a heavy transport helicopter, both of which were technologies most urgently needed by the Da Xia Army.

When he came to the Maintenance Center before his vacation, these two helicopters were clearly placed in a corner. How is it that they are all gone after he returned this time?

Hearing this question.

Lucy, standing beside him, took out the dried beef jerky gift from Lu's mom from her pocket.

Chewing on it, she mumbled, "They must have finished maintenance and been towed back."

"If not, then these two helicopters, which have been here for a long time, were directly disposed of."

LLNL's Maintenance Center couldn't keep these 'antique' items indefinitely.

After all, rather than being a maintenance center, it was actually more like a weapon equipment research and development center, which incidentally also performed 'maintenance, overhaul, and upgrade' tasks.

It wasn't a place that actually fixed your planes. If they couldn't be maintained, they would be sent back to the factory for repairs, or even, if truly broken, dismantled and treated as scrap.

And the military was happy to see this situation; treating them as scrap would balance the books, wouldn't it? As for whether the disposed scrap still had repair value, what did that matter to them?

Hearing this explanation, Lu Ze was immediately a bit troubled.

'What should I replicate next then?'

'Do I really have to wait until the Navy Open Day on the weekend to replicate?' he muttered to himself.

If he didn't wait, there weren't many items available for him to choose from right now.

He scanned the weapon equipment stored throughout the Ammunition Depot, and when he saw something interesting, he walked over and touched it.

'B-1B 'Lancer' Bomber, 7500 Achievement Points.'

'The Achievement Point reward is decent, but its utility is limited. Let's keep it as a backup for future replication.'

Lu Ze silently marked it as 'pending' in his mind!

Although items like the B-1B Bomber also offered a good number of Achievement Points, Da Xia already had the physical B-2 Bomber and its technology, making such an item somewhat redundant.

However, it did offer a good number of Achievement Points, so if he couldn't spend his replication chances in the future, he could replicate one for fun.

'M1A2 Tank?'

"No, Da Xia's 99A tank is no worse than it."

One high-tech item after another was continuously rejected by Lu Ze.

As for the very center of the Ammunition Depot, there was that 'old friend', the F22.

Unfortunately, he had already replicated that thing before, and the system wouldn't allow him to repeatedly replicate the same item to exploit a bug.

Lu Ze gazed at the dazzling array of military equipment, sighing softly in his heart.

Such a large Ammunition Depot, yet there weren't many things that could be replicated currently?

'Or perhaps replicating top industrial equipment would also be a good choice.'

He remembered that some industrial equipment also yielded as many as seven or eight thousand Achievement Points, and for top industrial equipment, Da Xia naturally welcomed more the better.

Just as Lu Ze had already made this decision and was about to try his luck in the D-level Area.

Suddenly, in a relatively secluded corner, he discovered something rather 'unremarkable'.

'This thing seems quite suitable for Da Xia!'

Before him was also a helicopter.

Its pointed, rounded nose exterior, combined with its slightly bulky physique, left a very deep impression.

Especially for many military enthusiasts in Da Xia, the name of this helicopter was even more 'thunderously' famous.

Slowly walking forward, his palm pressed against its cold metal casing.

Lu Ze counted down five seconds in his mind.

'543!'

Instantly, a light screen of information popped up on his eyeball.

【Current technological item: UH-60M 'Black Hawk' Utility Helicopter.】

【Value Achievement Points: 6500.】

【Please choose whether to replicate, Host.】

'Yes, replicate!' Lu Ze silently affirmed without any hesitation.

That's right, what he wanted to replicate this time was the UH-60 Utility Helicopter, and specifically the UH-60M, which had undergone a comprehensive upgrade including its latest avionics.

Decades ago, Da Xia, even at the cost of tightening its belt, spent hundreds of millions of usd to import over twenty 'Black Hawks' from the Eagle Nation, and they are still in service after nearly thirty years, unwilling to replace them.

This shows its importance to the Army.

Therefore, it has also become a very familiar helicopter model for many Da Xia military enthusiasts.

If heavy helicopters like the 'Chinook' and 'Apache' significantly enhanced the Army's transport and air support capabilities.

Then this 'Black Hawk', while not having exceptionally strong transport or attack capabilities, was almost omnipotent in its application methods.

Medical rescue was possible, high-altitude flight was no problem, and its carrying capacity was not small. It could also be used for emergency transport from time to time, as its cruising range could reach 2200 kilometers, and its flight speed was 360 km/h.

Isn't this the type of helicopter that the current Da Xia Army needs most?

【Replication successful: UH-60M 'Black Hawk' Utility Helicopter.】

【Reward: 6500 Achievement Points! Complete technical package for all UH-60 'Black Hawk' helicopter models, UH-60 'Black Hawk' physical entity (already stored in inventory).】
