Upon hearing Modaharl's voice, Qin Shan had not yet spoken, and the others beside him couldn't help but show a hint of unusual expression in their eyes.
There are expectations, curiosity, and even exploration!
The person in expectation, naturally, is expecting to witness the powerful battleship with their own eyes, which can be said to be unprecedented in history.
These people include other camels, representatives from Xiao Baxiang village, representatives from Saiwei village, and villages friendly with Long Village, excluding Modaharl.
Curiosity is self-explanatory.
While exploration is mostly about villages that have had past antagonistic relationships, or even direct conflicts, with Long Village.
For example, the Niuniu village...
Facing the various thoughts and gazes of the crowd, Qin Shan smiled slightly and said:
"Certainly, please follow me..."
Upon hearing this, many people couldn't help but narrow their eyes.
The representatives of villages such as Niuniu Village that have had deep grudges with Long Village couldn't help but feel their hearts sink.
Qin Shan's attitude conveyed too much information.
"Is it just posturing, or is Long Village really no longer concerned about the exposure of this level of equipment?"
Thinking about the key points, the representatives of villages like Niuniu felt their hearts growing heavier.
If the former is the case, it's manageable, but if the latter is true, the information it reveals is intriguing, even terrifying.
However, in a moment, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.
What matters?
Does it matter whether it's bluster or indifference to the exposure of secrets?
Even if Long Village only has this one Long Yuan-class battleship, if this ship is as terrifying as Qin Shan just said, then its combat power might be enough to confront, or even crush, the fleets of any village outside of Long Village!
In this situation, having more Long Yuan-class battleships seems to be of no significance to them.
Just like the ants facing a heavy hammer, whether it's an eighty-pound hammer or a forty-pound one, there's no difference!
Now, the only thing they can hope for is that Qin Shan is just blathering.
Looking at the warship in front of them, they expect it to be merely an appearance without substance, flashy but not effective!
……
With heavy hearts, the representatives from villages like Niuniu followed Qin Shan, climbing the ladder of the battleship to board the 111th Long Yuan-class warship.
"Wow! It's really huge!"
Upon boarding the battleship and gazing upon the massive beast below, everyone couldn't help but exclaim once again.
Even though they had already seen the grandeur of the battleship from below.
But now, after truly boarding the ship, the overwhelming size, right in front of everyone, is something that leaves everyone in awe.
Even the representatives who have been on larger aircraft carriers before couldn't help but exclaim in awe.
Certainly, what everyone was in awe of this time was not the displacement of the 111th ship, but the 900-millimeter diameter launch well in front of them.
A launch well with a diameter of nearly one meter, the immense size is simply breathtaking!
To give you an idea, the most famous village in Black-and-White Eagle, Blue Star, their God's Shield battlecruiser, has a launch well with a diameter of only six hundred and some millimeters!
The large size means that the ship can be equipped with missiles of an even larger diameter!
Under the same technical conditions, larger-sized missiles necessarily have a longer range and more powerful performance!
Just like the XH-2 hypersonic anti-ship ballistic missile announced by Long Village, the diameter of this missile is an astonishing seven hundred and fifty millimeters!
Such large-scale missiles, even if given to Black-and-White Eagle Village, they wouldn't be able to find warships capable of carrying these missiles!
"Wait a minute!"
Suddenly, as if thinking of something, a representative from Ouroboros exclaimed:
"Qin, are all the anti-ship missiles on your Long Yuan-class battleships the XH-2?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback and subconsciously directed their gaze towards the speaker.
Some didn't understand why the other party asked such a question.
Qin Shan hadn't already mentioned this matter?
However, just as everyone was in confusion, Qin Shan's voice suddenly sounded quietly: "It's not."
"??" Everyone was taken aback again.
"Actually," Qin Shan continued, "Our Long Yuan-class destroyers are equipped with two types of anti-ship missiles. One is the conventional XH-2B model carrier-based hypersonic land-sea ballistic missile, whose performance is similar to the XH-2E that Prince Modaharl previously ordered."
"The maximum range is 1,500 kilometers, and the maximum speed is six times the speed of sound..."
"As for the other one, it's the XH-2C, a upgraded version developed based on the XH-2B."
"Its maximum range reaches 2,500 kilometers, and its maximum speed is twelve times the speed of sound..."
Upon hearing this, everyone's breath was caught.
The throat felt somewhat dry.
If it wasn't for this village representative's extra question just now, they wouldn't have known about these specific details.
Long Village has been secretly developing some bizarre things?
If the ground-based missile had such data, they wouldn't have said anything, but a ship-based missile with a range of 2,500 kilometers and a speed of twelve times the speed of sound? Does it get any more ridiculous?
At this moment, Qin Shan continued, "But in general, our Long Yuan destroyers do not carry the XH-2C. After all, it is not equipped with conventional warheads and is usually unnecessary..."
"？？？ " Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Not conventional warheads?
What does that mean?
Thinking of a possible scenario, one representative couldn't help but widen their eyes, saying:
"Qin, do you mean that your XH-2C is equipped with a mushroom cloud?"
Mushroom cloud?
Upon hearing this name, the other representatives also snapped back to reality and couldn't help but widen their eyes.
Mushroom cloud!
That's quite the surprise!
Such a bizarre warship, and you still think the firepower isn't enough? And you have to install mushroom clouds on it?
Thinking about a hundred and twelve launch wells all equipped with mushroom clouds, everyone couldn't help but get goosebumps.
The gaze at the launch wells in front was filled with an unhidden apprehension, even fear.
In front of everyone, facing everyone's gaze, Qin Shan simply smiled indifferently and did not directly respond.
Is it a mushroom cloud?
Yes, but no.
Accurately speaking, there are not only mushroom heads, but also EMP bombs proposed by Suheng last year!
After Suheng proposed the EMP missile on the【Yanhua】space combat vessel, Qin Shan and others began to think about making the EMP missile a global success.
Then, based on Suheng's technology, they researched and developed an EMP warhead that could be mounted on the XH-2C...
However, Qin Shan wouldn't reveal all of this at once.
It's not that he's afraid of being copied, but there's no need.
After all, the deterrence is already there, so what's the point of saying it?
Waste of saliva?
……
After what seemed like an eternity, everyone finally snapped back to reality.
Afterward, everyone in the group seemed to have a tacit understanding and did not continue to look at the giant "chocolates" in front of them. Instead, they turned their gaze towards the futuristic-looking turret located just a short distance ahead of the "chocolates".
"Electromagnetic cannon..."
Looking at the weapon, which looked like something straight out of a sci-fi movie, everyone was covetous.
Next to Modaharl, the eyes were even hotter.
If it weren't for his reason telling him that Long Village wouldn't sell this thing even if he paid more, he would have been unable to resist the urge to open his mouth and declare "buy, buy, buy" again!
If they could control such a powerful weapon in their Shacarab Desert's hands, who would dare to mess with them in the future?
Whoever dares to jaw, they can simply fire the electromagnetic cannon straight at their forehead and then ask them if they feel touched!
Thinking about this, Modaharl bit his teeth and finally couldn't help but speak up:
"Qin, are your Long Yuan-class destroyers for sale?"
"???" The sudden sound made everyone's heads fill with question marks.
Subconsciously, they directed their gaze towards the speaker.
After seeing the identity of the speaker, everyone couldn't help but twitch their lips.
They knew that camels were always waving their manes around and making purchases everywhere.
But now, for a camel to want to buy this warship, isn't that a bit excessive?
Can this thing be sold?
Although they were speechless in their hearts, everyone, after taking a glance at Modaharl, couldn't help but direct their gaze towards Qin Shan.
Although reason told them that such a level of warship couldn't possibly be put up for sale.
But, what if...
After all, Long Village could sell weapons like Jian Shi Er Shi which was equipped with a Jian Sword array. Maybe they can sell their Long Yuan-class warships now...
If it were really possible, they might have to contact their own village behind them and bring one of these sci-fi warships like this on board!
Facing everyone's gaze, Qin Shan shook his head slightly and said:
"I apologize, Prince, but the Long Yuan-class battleships are not for sale, and there is no plan for export..."
Export the Long Yuan-class battleships?
This question has never occurred to Long Village from the beginning. Neither Qin Shan nor other administrators of Long Village have ever had the idea of selling the Long Yuan-class battleship.
Although Long Village will soon possess the【Yanhua】-class space combat vessel, at that time, the Long Yuan-class would be somewhat unnecessary for Long Village.
Selling it wouldn't make a difference.
But why sell it?
Long Village has so many advanced equipment, any one of which could earn a lot of money. Why would they need to sell the Long Yuan-class when they are doing well?
Thinking that the enemies are not strong enough, giving them equipment as a gift and benefiting them?
Even someone who has one less drop of water wouldn't have such an idea.
"Ah..."
After listening to what Qin Shan said, even those who had prepared for it couldn't help but sigh, whether it was Modaharl or the representatives of other villages.
……
After four hours, everyone finally left the 111th ship reluctantly.
"Qin, if you ever want to sell the Long Yuan-class destroyers, you must contact us!"
Standing on the dock, looking at the towering object not far away, Modaharl couldn't help but speak up again.
Hearing this, Qin Shan smiled and said, "Certainly, Your Highness, be assured that if we have any export plans for the Long Yuan-class destroyers, we will contact you first..."
"Certainly?"
"Certainly!"
"……"
After several hours, except for Modaharl who was still waiting for his own village to come and collect the 52GE destroyer, the representatives of other villages had all left Qingzhou Port.
Accompanied by the representatives, there were also a series of articles and photos about the Long Yuan-class destroyer.
In less than a day, the information about the Long Yuan-class warships had caused a huge stir on the internet.
"The Rise of the Eastern Dragon!"
"Epic-level battleship! A groundbreaking science fiction creation from Long Village!"
"Emerging from thin air! The arrival of the science fiction era!"
"New Era Overlord!"
"Long Yuan! Long Yuan! Long Yuan!"
"[...]"
BBC, Reuters, AFP, TNT, Dow Jones...
Almost all major media outlets around the world were dominated by information about the Long Yuan-class destroyer!
Images of the Long Yuan-class destroyer were plastered across magazines and screens in the entire Anglosphere!
Even on some magazines and media that specialize in trivial news, information about the Long Yuan-class destroyer has appeared!
Bold and enlarged titles made everyone take notice!
"God, is this really something that should appear in this era?"
"Oh my God, who can tell me what year it is? Are we already in the era of interstellar travel?"
"It's hard to believe, are we really living on the same planet as Long Village? Last year, our media weren't still telling us that Long Village was just a native village with upside-down eyes and pig tails, living on barely enough food?"
"Last year, my teacher told me that the people of Long Village were all backward and ignorant savages, that they didn't even have mobile phones, and that they could only communicate with each other using the two-way radios we had discarded in the last century!"
"Friends, let's go visit Long Village. It's not what those idiot media said it is..."
"That's right, my friend, look at the thing in my hand. It's a phone I just stole from Long Village yesterday (picture.jpg). God, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have imagined that Long Village had something so advanced. In front of it, the fruit phone I spent over a thousand dollars on yesterday feels like a brick!"
"??? Did you rob in Long Village?"
"Robbery? Oh, my friend, you know what? Your words sound like those who have never seen the world. This is a series of unpublished smartphones just released by the future technology of Long Village. Do you know how popular it is? I waited in line for a whole week at the official store before I could buy this phone!"
"It's just a phone, what's the big deal..."
"Hahaha, friend, if you've really experienced the phones from the future series, then you should know how foolish your words are. Friend, travel more often. Haven't you noticed? You've become the 'aborigine' you used to speak of!"
"Yes, friends, although I'm not willing to admit it, after visiting Long Village once, I have no choice but to acknowledge that they are the embodiment of civilization now. They have even started using drones and self-driving cars for delivery. Can you believe it? I can simply sit at home, make a tap on my phone app and their drone or self-driving car will deliver the parcel right to my doorstep!"
"That's right, I was sent on an official assignment to work in Long Village last week. If it wasn't for my colleagues and friends telling me this was Long Village, I even thought I wasn't on Earth but visiting a high-level alien civilization!"
"Fools are still debating the true prosperity of Long Village, while smart people are already preparing to immigrate..."
"Immigration? Don't joke, friend above, do you know how difficult it is to get a green card in Long Village now? You must publish at least ten first-class papers on the Mountain River Network of Long Village, God, this is a nightmare!"
"That's right, not to mention immigration. The other day, I asked about the price of going to Long Village without a green card, and my friend who specializes in this field told me that on the black market, a slot for going to Long Village through a secret channel is worth twenty million Long currency!"
"Two million Long currency? Oh my God, has your friend gone crazy with money?"
"Idiot, do you think two million is a lot? If it weren't for my friendship with him, you wouldn't even get a chance to buy one spot. You know that the spots for going to Long Village are getting filled up fast?"
"Yes, I don't know about the secret channels, but a green card in Long Village is worth one billion! Last month, my father spent five billion to donate one hundred primary and middle schools to Long Village. Our family of five was fortunate enough to immigrate to Long Village with him. Thank you, Long Village, for giving us the opportunity to come into contact with true civilization. Here, we truly understand what civilization is, and their technology is at least ten years more advanced than ours!"
"Envious of the friends above, my father also applied for a green card in Long Village last month and wanted to donate to Long Village. However, he was told that I don't have the qualification to donate and cannot obtain a green card because I once served in the army of our Black Eagle Village, and I have never hated my identity as much as I do now..."
"Excuse me, what is the Mountain River Network you mentioned? Is this website famous? Can you get a green card in Long Village just by publishing ten first-class papers? And what are these future series of smartphones and drone and self-driving car delivery that you mentioned? Are you sure you're in Long Village? I feel like what you're saying is not Long Village but from a science fiction movie about an alien planet?"
