45: You call a 1500-kilometer range a naval gun?

The military meeting concluded.

And an additional decision was made.

That was to invite Lin Chen and Li Jianguo to attend the test on-site.

Xia Academy of Sciences.

Lin Chen's office.

As soon as Li Jianguo entered the office, he sat down, took a sip of tea, and then spoke:

"Comrade Xiao Lin, the military has invited you to participate in the ship-borne Super Energy Laser Cannon test!"

"I wonder if you can make time?"

"The Laser Cannon has already been mounted on a ship?" Lin Chen was a little surprised.

The military's speed is a bit fast.

Li Jianguo nodded, "It has indeed been modified, and the test is tomorrow! Can you spare some time?"

"Yes!" Lin Chen smiled and agreed, "It's a good opportunity to go and see our Great Xia Country's warship!"

The Anti-gravity Plasma Engine has already entered the right track.

Basically, all technical problems have been solved.

All that remains is to process the parts and then assemble the first prototype.

He now has plenty of time.

"Good, then I'll have the military pick us up tomorrow!"

After Li Jianguo finished speaking, he drank the remaining tea in his cup and left.

Lin Chen sat in his office, beginning to ponder.

"The Laser Cannon is already on board!"

"Then the joint military exercise organized by Eagle Sauce Country will be interesting!"

"I hope, Eagle Sauce Country, you don't bring trouble upon yourselves!"

"Otherwise, this time, you must be made to experience the power of the Super Energy Laser Cannon!"

Regarding the power of the Super Energy Laser Cannon.

Lin Chen was still very confident.

This laser weapon could be fired directly horizontally at sea.

It would not be affected by harsh environments such as water vapor or sunlight refraction.

As long as it was within range.

It could effectively hit the target.

Causing serious damage to the target.

Moreover, the ship-borne Super Energy Laser Cannon had been enhanced.

Its power was 10 times greater than that of the vehicle-mounted Laser Cannon.

Because the ship-borne Laser Cannon could carry a larger super solid-state magnetic field battery.

It could easily penetrate the deck of a warship.

Lin Chen, on the contrary, hoped that this joint military exercise by Eagle Sauce Country would be like before.

The more arrogant, the better, and ideally, they would cross the line again.

Giving the navy a chance for actual combat... The next day.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

A military airport in the capital.

A military aircraft was parked there.

Lin Chen, Li Jianguo, and General Zhang were already seated on the military aircraft.

Three hours later.

The military aircraft landed at the South China Sea Military Region Airport.

Lin Chen and Li Jianguo disembarked.

Commander Zhao Tianyi of the Southern Guangdong Military Region, along with several military officers, welcomed them.

"Old Zhang, Dean Li, you're finally here!" Commander Zhao said with a welcoming smile.

Seeing Lin Chen next to the two, he immediately guessed Lin Chen's identity. "This must be?!"

General Zhang nodded, "Just know it, don't say it!"

"Good, I understand!" Commander Zhao instantly understood.

He walked up to Lin Chen, extended his hand to shake Lin Chen's hand, "Comrade Xiao Lin, welcome, welcome!"

Given his status, he had heard of Lin Chen's identity.

But it was his first time seeing him in person.

He hadn't expected the chief designer of the Super Energy Laser Cannon.

To be so handsome and young.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, 'The younger generation is formidable!'

"Commander Zhao, you're too kind!" Lin Chen politely shook his hand, smiling in response, "When does the test begin?"

Commander Zhao laughed heartily and said, "Comrade Xiao Lin, we are ready, just waiting for you!"

"Good, then let's go to the test site!" Lin Chen nodded.

Then.

Commander Zhao led Lin Chen to a car.

While Li Jianguo and General Zhang took another car.

As for the other military officers, seeing Commander Zhao's enthusiasm towards Lin Chen.

They all speculated about Lin Chen's identity.

"Who do you think that young man is? Why is the Commander so enthusiastic?"

"Could he have some special identity?"

"Definitely! Otherwise, with our Commander's fiery temper, why would he specifically come to pick him up?"

"It's estimated that this young man's identity is not simple!"

After several military officers got into the car.

They continuously whispered to each other.

Soon.

The motorcade arrived at the South China Sea Fleet Naval Port Wharf.

On the sea outside the wharf.

The type 055 destroyer, like a steel leviathan, was steadily docked there.

Its gray hull gleamed coldly, and its towering mast pierced the blue sky.

New turrets—Super Energy Laser Cannons—had been added to both the bow and stern!

The sea wind was light, with only small waves lapping against the hull, splashing a little white foam.

On the deck.

Naval soldiers stood rigidly, holding their guns.

Their white uniforms were ironed without a single wrinkle, and their belts were cinched tight.

Zhao Tianyi led Lin Chen and the others onto the ship.

"Comrade Xiao Lin, do you like the ship's modification?"

"One is installed at the bow and one at the stern!"

He pointed at the Laser Cannon and introduced it.

Lin Chen nodded: "Good, this design is very suitable!?"

"Good! Then let's start the test!" Commander Zhao was a bit impatient.

Then, Commander Zhao directly ordered the warship to leave the port.

Not long after.

They arrived at the designated test sea area.

Commander Zhao directly ordered:

"Hear my command!"

"Laser Cannon test fire, prepare!"

"Target: Buoy 50 kilometers away!"

"Hit and destroy!"

"Target: Buoy 100 kilometers!"

"Hit and destroy!"

"Target: 200 kilometers..."

"Target: 300 kilometers..."

"Hit and destroy!"

Finally!

Everyone on the warship was boiling with excitement.

Soldiers on the deck cheered and wept with joy.

Some even showed the smug smile of 'Wang Yousheng'.

Zhao Tianyi, in his excitement, hugged General Zhang: "Old Zhao! We succeeded, our fleet finally has a divine weapon!"

General Zhang's eyes, as if sand had gotten into them, were filled with emotion: "Yes! We finally waited for this day!"

After the excitement.

Lin Chen quietly watched them, his heart filled with emotion.

At this moment!

He believed that all the Engineers' efforts were worthwhile.

Further confirming his previous choice.

Strengthening the nation through science and technology!

Letting technology become a solid bulwark for national security.

After the excitement.

Lin Chen reminded, "Commander Zhao, we still need to continue testing! It hasn't reached its limit!"

"Good! Target: Buoy 500 kilometers!"

Zhao Tianyi excitedly gave the order.

His face was full of excitement.

If 500 kilometers could be accurately hit.

Then the Great Xia Country's warships could run rampant across the entire Blue Star.

The technician took a deep breath and pressed the button.

This time!

The white light seemed to travel a little slower!.

It wasn't that the cannon was slow, but everyone held their breath.

Two seconds later!

The 500-kilometer buoy on the monitoring screen vaporized directly on the sea surface, not even a fragment remained!

The data popped up: Attenuation 0.05%!

"Hiss!"

Li Jianguo gasped when he saw the data.

Then, he instantly became excited: "It's done, we really did it!"

"Haha, excellent!"

"It can actually reach a range of 500 kilometers!"

"Comrade Xiao Lin, Dean Li, thank you for bringing such a powerful weapon to our navy."

"With it! Our Great Xia Country's navy is truly going to rise.".

Zhao Tianyi was as excited as a child.

The surrounding officers were also so excited that their eyes turned red.

They were all veteran naval officers.

Naturally, they knew how difficult it had been for the Great Xia Country's navy to get to where it was today.

In the past, there were no good naval guns.

To counter the invasion of Eagle Sauce Country's warships and aircraft carriers.

They even moved tanks onto warships to serve as naval guns.

It showed!

How backward the Great Xia Country's navy was back then.

That incident was an indelible pain in the history of the Great Xia Country's navy.

Whenever it was mentioned, the old naval officers couldn't help but be filled with emotion.

In recent years, the Great Xia Country's navy has grown stronger.

But it was still far from enough.

Until today.

After installing the Super Energy Laser Cannon.

The Great Xia Country's navy finally took off.

No country's warships on the entire Blue Star could contend with it.

Not even Eagle Sauce Country's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier battle group.

Lin Chen looked at the excited Commander Zhao and the others, then suddenly spoke:

"Commander Zhao, its range can actually reach 1500 kilometers!"

"What?" Commander Zhao was shocked, "The range can reach 1500 kilometers?"

"Doesn't that mean it can cover the entire South China Sea?"

Suddenly, Commander Zhao's eyes lit up, and he thought of a fixed test target!
