131: Naval equipment! Horrible, you care about tens of thousands of tons

Chapter 131: Naval Equipment! Terrifying, you call a tens of thousands of tons vessel a 'big toy'?

He looked at the information in the email.

Although it was only a little over ten characters long, Zhang Yuli repeated it many times.

Then, he came to a conclusion: "Whether it's the language habits or the various 'implied' styles."

"This should be the leader of the 'Great Wall Watch' Organization organization contacting us."

"Hmm, I think so too," Zheng Lixing echoed.

Da Xia had communicated with this never-before-seen organization over twenty times.

From various aspects like 'psychology' and 'linguistics,' they could determine exactly who from the 'organization' was communicating with Da Xia, just from the simple wording of a single line.

Language that was so direct and even contained a hint of playfulness, if not from the leader of the 'organization,' then it was certainly from a high-ranking position.

The rigid communication format of the past, on the other hand, should have come from ordinary mid-to-high-level cadres within the 'organization.'

After all, different positions naturally lead to different words and attitudes.

"But what exactly is this 'big toy' he's talking about?"

Zhang Yuli was equally curious about this.

If anyone else mentioned a 'big toy,' the two of them would at most think of cars, yachts, or perhaps armored vehicles, tanks, or fighter jets—larger military equipment of that kind.

But this was the 'Great Wall Watch' Organization organization.

What kind of 'big toy' were they talking about? Perhaps to others, a super-large transport aircraft like the C-5M, which is seventy to eighty meters long, could only be called a 'small toy'?

Thinking of this, he quickly typed a line on the keyboard and replied directly.

【Da Xia is very interested in the 'big toy' mentioned by your organization.】

【If there are any requirements or conditions, we will do our best to meet your needs.】

No matter what this 'big thing' was, the most urgent matter now was to agree directly, to prevent any unforeseen changes.

After replying, the other side seemed to fall into a long silence.

This email was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no echo for most of the day.

Across the ocean, inside the LLNL employee dormitory.

Lu Ze was also hesitating at this moment, wondering which of the four technologies he had on hand to prioritize sending to Da Xia.

"Let's start with an appetizer; can't go straight to the main course..."

"Then this one it is."

With that thought, he directly instructed the system to send a long string of folders, filling the entire email directory to the brim, and then clicked send.

Here.

The two old men did not converse; instead, their eyes were fixed on the screen, unwilling to let go for a second.

Names of items kept flashing through their minds, either being rejected or secretly anticipated.

About twenty minutes seemed to have passed, and still there was no reply from the other side.

"Could it be... that they've gone offline?" Zheng Lixing's brows furrowed with doubt.

From receiving the notification to making an official reply, the time involved was only two or three minutes. How could the other party have gone silent?

Moreover, the 'Great Wall Watch' Organization organization's contact was certainly not that urgent.

Because in the event of 'life-or-death' emergencies, they could use the emergency contact channel for communication. This channel would not only send emails to the Xia Academy of Sciences' external top-secret liaison office but also simultaneously transmit them to the highest-level desk.

Da Xia would immediately activate the highest-level contingency plan to provide them with any degree of security assurance.

Clearly, this was not an emergency.

Zhang Yuli, however, found it quite reasonable: "It's normal for a leader to be busy; we'll just wait a bit longer."

Managing such a vast 'shadow' organization like 'Great Wall Watch' Organization, which might span every corner of the globe, the position of organization leader might not be easy at all.

If he was too busy to reply to emails, that would be consistent with the habits of someone controlling such a 'behemoth.'

If the other party replied immediately, that would be a rather rare occurrence.

Before the two could finish speaking, the email notification sound suddenly rang out.

"See, didn't they reply?" Zhang Yuli glanced at him, mockingly saying, "You, at your age, still can't be patient."

"Nonsense, if I didn't have this personality, how could I have developed a hot-tempered 'Miss Qiu'?"

Zheng Lixing glared at him, then continued, "Quickly, see what they sent."

Upon hearing this.

Zhang Yuli didn't say anything, directly opening the email.

He saw that this time, there was no reply written inside, but rather one dense file compression package after another.

【UH-60 'Black Hawk' Utility Helicopter Technical Drawings!】

【T700-GE-701 Turboshaft Engine Technical Draft and Roadmap】

【Improved Hover Infrared Suppression System Implementation Method and Parameters...】

【All-Composite Wing Spar, Rotor Aerodynamic Efficiency Layout】

【...】

After a quick glance, it was no different from previous times, all consisting of various technical documents.

"UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter? And an upgraded version, the UH-60M!"

"This isn't Air Force equipment this time? It's Army equipment?"

Zheng Lixing's face was filled with ecstasy.

The famous Black Hawk helicopter, he had certainly heard of it.

This thing was exactly the equipment that the Da Xia Army lacked the most.

It didn't even need to be qualified with 'one of the most' to highlight just how exaggerated its importance was.

"I'd like to see if that kid Zhou Haowu still says our Xia Academy of Sciences is biased," Zhang Yuli showed a smile: "He always says we don't give the Army good things, and now here it is?"

He was quite satisfied with this technology.

Even if the 'Great Wall Watch' Organization organization were to give Da Xia's Air Force the C-17 'Globemaster' now, he would still think this UH-60 'Black Hawk' helicopter technology was better.

Because, without a C-17-type transport aircraft weighing seventy or eighty tons, Da Xia currently still had the Y-20, and even a super-large transport aircraft being developed based on the C-5 transport aircraft.

But without this 'Black Hawk' helicopter, Da Xia couldn't find a substitute for a while.

Yes, even the Z-10 attack helicopter currently being prepared for deployment cannot compare to a 'Black Hawk' type helicopter in overall performance.

After all, Da Xia's terrain is too varied, from the world's highest plateau region to basins, deserts, swamps, rainforests, and so on—almost everything imaginable.

And the UH-60 'Black Hawk' is precisely the Army transport equipment most suitable for such varied terrain.

Otherwise, Da Xia's few 'Black Hawks' that have been in service for two or three decades would not still be reluctant to retire even now.

Thinking of this.

Zhang Yuli replied.

【Da Xia is very satisfied with this technology.】

【May I ask what your conditions are?】

However.

This surprise seemed to be just the beginning.

The other side seemed to be no longer busy and immediately sent more information.

【What we are giving is not just this; the real 'big toy' is not this either.】

【That is equipment for the Navy, and I think you will also be very interested in it.】

Hearing this, Zhang Yuli's interest grew even stronger.

There was even Navy equipment??

Instantly, he immediately replied to the email.

'May I ask, what kind of Navy equipment is it? Is it a vessel??'

If it was about Navy equipment, then the first thing that came to mind was naturally a vessel; this was human nature.

It couldn't be some anti-ship missile or some carrier-based aircraft, that wouldn't fit conventional deductive logic.

【Yes, but it's not very big, only a few tens of thousands of tons.】

"What??"

"Only... a few tens of thousands of tons? You call a tens of thousands of tons a toy??"

Zheng Lixing stood there stunned, looking at the number somewhat at a loss.

He suspected he had misread it, or that the other side had made a typo.

Do you know what kind of outrageous thing you're saying?

What is the concept of a warship weighing tens of thousands of tons? This isn't a cruise ship or a cargo ship!

What warship in the whole world can say its displacement is tens of thousands of tons?

Do you have some misunderstanding about 'toys'?
