426: Chapter 426: Pathfinder Patrol Ship

“From now on, you can just ask the robot accompanying you about such issues.” Oriental Chen didn’t answer.

“Hi!”

“Hmm?”

“Oh, yes!”

Oriental Chen didn’t like hearing the word “Hi” and asked Putian Xiaoyezi to change it to “Yes.” But this habit couldn’t be changed in an instant, and she sometimes still made mistakes.

“You’ll know if the ship can be launched by trying it. Don’t call again if you’re unsure about something in the future,” Oriental Chen said coldly.

“Yes!” Putian Xiaoyezi felt very uncomfortable, but she could only comply.

Subsequently, Putian Xiaoyezi issued instructions through the robot to launch the ship.

Due to the ship’s large size, the top of the production bay could be opened directly. This allowed finished ships to exit the bay directly from where they were built.

The way this ship was launched was completely different from traditional vessels.

Ordinary ships had to be painstakingly put into the water, but this ship took off directly from its spot.

That’s right, it took off vertically, hovering 10 meters above the ground.

Seeing this, Putian Xiaoyezi finally understood why the bottom wasn’t made pointed; it didn’t need water for buoyancy at all.

It looked so beautiful, its lines so perfect! Any man who saw it would probably be unable to put it down.

The full name of this ship was: Pathfinder Small Low-Altitude Patrol Ship.

This Patrol Ship was 684 meters long and 184 meters wide at its widest point. It still used anti-gravity engines.

It had 6 high-power laser cannons, 24 small aerial unmanned combat drones, 3,000 miniature underwater reconnaissance and combat dual-purpose robotic shuttles, and 500 underwater positioning and tracking demolition bombs.

In addition, it was equipped with an Energy Shield.

With this configuration, it could basically dominate the entire ocean.

After learning about the parameters of this Patrol Ship, Putian Xiaoyezi couldn’t help but be astonished.

He laughed at himself for having wanted to cause trouble in Ulan Country before; it turned out he had lost from the very beginning.

With such advanced technology, it was probably impossible to defeat it even with the combined might of the entire Red Coat Sect.

After visiting the Miyazaki Shipyard, the long-standing gloom in his heart was swept away, and now he was full of confidence.

If we can’t attack China, then so be it. There are so many places in the world; where can’t we go?

Soon, the newly formed Naval Corps was stationed in Miyazaki City. For the next period, they would focus on learning and training to quickly familiarize themselves with this Patrol Ship.

And the production bay of the shipyard was still producing. One ship was definitely not enough; they needed at least ten or eight.

Before he could recover from his excitement, the robot beside him told him something else.

The Air Force Base in Akita City had also been completed and was ready for inspection.

The Miyazaki and Akita projects started simultaneously.

However, Akita was far from Edo, and Putian Xiaoyezi had never been there.

Having witnessed the advanced nature of the Naval Base, his expectations for the Air Force Base also soared.

He immediately took a plane and rushed to Akita City without stopping.

The structure of the Air Force Base was almost no different from the Naval Base.

The mode and structure were almost identical.

As technology developed to this point, naval ships and airships became more and more similar. The biggest difference lay in some specific functions.

The Patrol Ship integrated more underwater analysis instruments and attack weapons, while the airship was mainly for ground reconnaissance and attack, without these configurations.

The main combat model currently produced by the Air Force Base was: Explorer Small Low-Altitude Attack Ship.

Its size was basically the same as the Patrol Ship, and it was also equipped with an Energy Shield.

Besides laser cannons, its weapons included 30,000 Simulation Spider Robots.

After the Naval Base and Air Force Base were completed, Putian Xiaoyezi’s first task was to clear out the zombies in the Southeast Asia region.

Having invested so much, Oriental Chen planned to harvest a wave first.

Of course, he wasn’t taking the crystals for free.

As before, all crystals were transported to Tachileik, where they could exchange 1,000 crystals for a Combat Suit, halving the price.

At this point, the military’s view of Putian Xiaoyezi had completely changed.

They seemed to see the Great Sun Country dominating the world.

…

June 23, 2056 AD.

Oriental Chen sent people to transport the cultivated controllable mutated rat breeding stock to the Southwest Military Region, totaling over 6,000.

Yan Zhengping divided this batch of rats into three parts.

One part remained in the Military Region for continued breeding. He planned to gradually replace all other rats being raised with these controllable rats.

These rats had the advantages of being small in size, reproducing quickly, eating little, and being cold-resistant, clearly superior to ordinary rats.

Most importantly, they were obedient.

What was the benefit of being obedient? They could be free-ranged, not even needing cages.

In this way, feeding costs would be further reduced.

In addition, they could also be used as weapons.

He sent the other two parts to Nagqu and Sunlight City, respectively.

These two places were most suitable for raising them.

They could just be released; no feeding was required at all.

A major factor limiting the size of biological populations was food.

So, theoretically, these rat populations could grow very large, extremely large. As long as the scorpions hadn’t been eaten completely, they wouldn’t lack food.

If one day the scorpions were eliminated, then it would be a case of 'when the cunning rabbit is dead, the running dog is cooked'.

All of them would be corpse-ified and their crystals recovered, and that would be it.
