99: Section 99
"With wheels this big, not to mention the difficulty of maintenance, they're also very easy to strike. Even with these large wheels, once one has a problem, the remaining three are basically useless!"
"Sigh..."
Instantly, everyone in the Special Decision Group conference room couldn't help but sigh.
Almost everyone thought this upgrade had failed.
However, the thoughts of others didn't affect Lin Bai at all.
He curiously reached in and touched the hull, which looked quite cool.
And since everyone else thought this upgrade had failed, not only did it not advance the aircraft carrier, but it had even regressed its technological capabilities by several hundred years.
So, they didn't stop Lin Bai from messing with the model.
"It's actually a vintage ship model. It seems like next time I can get a few ship models to put at home; that would be pretty cool too."
"But this one is too big; it's a hassle to display."
"Huh, why is this loose?"
Lin Bai was quite curious about the few large vintage wheels acting as propulsion.
However, when he reached out to touch it, he discovered that he had actually pushed the wheel down.
"...It didn't break, did it?"
Even so, Lin Bai wasn't particularly nervous. If he broke it, he could just pay the merchant; he wasn't short on money anyway.
But seeing that the wheel seemed to have another function, he couldn't suppress his curiosity and continued to press it down.
"Huh?"
"Wait... this isn't a wheel!"
With Lin Bai's exclamation, he finally drew everyone's attention back to him.
Because Li Yaoyao was standing next to Lin Bai, she was the first to see his actions.
Seeing this, she subconsciously covered her mouth and said in shock:
"This wheel, after being pressed down, it expands laterally... could this be?"
The others also noticed the situation one after another.
Another military member disguised as a courier excitedly reached in and pressed the remaining three wheels down as well.
"As expected!"
"This isn't some vintage ship. These four large wheels can expand and transform into aerospace equipment—a type of device similar to turbo-wings!"
Hearing this exclamation, the others finally snapped out of the depression they were in a second ago.
Qin Zhengtian couldn't even help but rush to the monitor, pressing his whole body against it to get a closer look, wishing he could crawl through the monitor directly to the scene.
"Damn it! Everyone is crowding around, I can't see anything!"
Qin Zhengtian couldn't help but feel impatient.
Chief Yun quickly regained his composure. Although he couldn't see the scene, hearing what the team members there said, he had already roughly figured it out.
"It seems that this time, we didn't fail; we succeeded!"
"According to the description from the team members on-site."
"Our aircraft carrier hasn't just been upgraded!"
"And, I estimate..."
"This upgraded aircraft carrier is even an aircraft carrier with aerospace capabilities!!!"
Although he didn't know the specific details, there was no doubt that the included manual would definitely point them in the direction of how to build it!
And now, they just need to retrieve this data and this model for research.
Their next aircraft carrier project might even be a true space-air aircraft carrier!!!
Thinking of this, Chief Yun resolutely said into the walkie-talkie: "Retrieve the data immediately!"
Before, they thought the upgrade had failed, causing the aircraft carrier to not only fail to improve but instead become even more backward. That was why no one suggested retrieval.
But now, they were certain!
The aircraft carrier model in this cardboard box would bring them an aircraft carrier capable of leading the entire world!
Furthermore, the ability to fly was only what they could see on the surface. What was contained within included more advanced equipment and more advanced weaponry!
These must all be brought back and studied one by one to discover more mysteries.
At this moment, for every second this model and this data stayed outside, everyone would worry for another second!
"Received!"
Instantly, everyone on-site silently replied in their hearts.
However, when the courier looked up, his expression had returned to normal. He said to Lin Bai with a smile: "Mr. Lin, I'm sorry, it seems the merchant mixed up two packages."
"You can just take the one that belongs to you, and that will count as signed for. I'll return this one to the merchant; it won't affect you."
As he spoke, he hurriedly returned the four turbo-wings to their original state.
They were also worried that they might accidentally break it, and if that affected the researchers and engineers, they would be in big trouble!
Lin Bai said with some regret: "This aircraft carrier model is pretty cool. If it weren't so big, I would have just bought it."
Hearing this, the others couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
If he really bought it, they wouldn't know how to explain it!
At this moment, they couldn't help but feel relieved that Qin Zhengtian had made this model so big.
As the model was packed up again and taken away by four ace special forces soldiers from the military, the people in the conference room finally breathed a sigh of relief.
And the researchers couldn't sit still anymore; they looked up towards the door, looking forward to their return.
Chapter 89: aircraft carrier? space-air aircraft carrier!! The top brass are stunned!
Chapter 89: aircraft carrier? space-air aircraft carrier!! The top brass are stunned!
Tian Xialong led the entire project team that originally belonged to the fighter jet production group. They were waiting here with some excitement and agitation.
He had already received the notification. Because he had passed the test from the Lin family last time, this time, the Lin family provided him with the model and data for a new type of aircraft carrier!
"Brother Tian, the car last time was already so terrifying. I wonder what level this aircraft carrier will reach?"
"It must be the awesome kind, after all, that's a design blueprint from the Lin family!"
"At least it will be the same as those nuclear-powered aircraft carriers from the Lighthouse Country, right?"
"That's a must!"
"The car we built last time was already able to use a type of pseudo-nuclear power device to generate electricity for propulsion. For a big project like an aircraft carrier, it must be nuclear-powered!"
"And I guess it must be Nuclear Fusion propulsion, not like the nuclear fission propulsion from the Lighthouse Country!"
"Although their nuclear propulsion is powerful, it's obviously too dangerous!"
"Actually, if the Lin family didn't apply Nuclear Fusion power generation, we could modify it ourselves. We already master the method for the [Lin's Fusion Power] device!"
"What are you thinking? Are you doubting that the Lin family's design blueprint isn't as advanced as you?"
Tian Xialong patted the man's head and said, speechless.
Ever since they copied a full-scale car by referencing the luxury car model and design blueprint from last time, Tian Xialong had become a die-hard fan of the Lin family.
Tech guys like them admire people who possess stronger technical capabilities than them the most. And these design blueprints from the Lin family are exactly that.
If before, the Lin family's reputation was only about continuous breakthroughs in cutting-edge technology unrelated to their field, Tian Xialong didn't think the Lin family was that impressive. Now, he was completely convinced.
And he was looking forward to the upcoming aircraft carrier design blueprint and model with immense anticipation.
"Could it be a super-alloy aircraft carrier with ultra-high defense?"
"Maybe it's a behemoth like an island, a level where you can place thousands of aircraft on it!"
"To reach such a size, the displacement must be at least over fifty tons, right? The displacement of the Lighthouse Country's latest two is only ten tons and twelve tons!"
"So what? This is, after all, a design blueprint from the Lin family!"
"Or maybe an aircraft carrier that can dive?"
"Liuzi, are you kidding me? Isn't that just a submarine? A diving aircraft carrier, I can't believe you came up with that; you might as well think about flying in the sky."
"Hehe, you want such a big aircraft carrier to fly? Technology would have to be centuries ahead to make that."
"Even if it's the Lin family, at most they would just modify the current aircraft carrier, right? After all, for the whole world, the technology of aircraft carriers is already quite perfect."
"Yeah, basically everything is about expanding and optimizing on existing levels; there's basically nothing brand new."
