The unusualness of the crowd also woke up Modalarhan, who was deeply immersed in the joy of his newly acquired treasure.
Subconsciously, he also turned his gaze towards the place where the crowd was focused.
Just a glance, and he revealed an expression that was almost indistinguishable from the other representatives.
"Rrrumm..."
Modalarhan couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Qin, is that your new type of warship?"
Only after a good while, during which Modalarhan was somewhat dry-throated, did he finally break the silence and speak.
Although they could only see a fraction of the warship now, most of its hull was hidden behind the buildings at the dock.
But even just the glimpse that was visible, without mentioning anything else, the mere presence of that sci-fi-like main cannon at the bow was enough to make it hard for people to maintain composure!
Electromagnetic Railgun!!
Just a glance, and the crowd had already guessed the identity of this main cannon.
Even though they had never eaten pork, they had seen pigs run.
Many of them here have seen the power armor and 59-01 electromagnetic main battle tank!
Although the electromagnetic weapons of the power armor and the electromagnetic main battle tank 59-01 are quite different from the main cannon in front of them,
But anyone with a discerning eye could easily spot the similarities.
That's completely different from traditional guns in a sci-fi style that's impossible to miss if you have good eyes!
Facing the doubts and suspicions in the crowd's eyes, Qin Shan didn't play any tricks. He nodded naturally and said:
"That indeed is our new warship, the Longyuan-class destroyer, one of the most advanced main battle ships of our Long Village!"
Had it been before, the Longyuan would certainly have been kept confidential.
However, now, whether or not to keep it confidential is no longer important.
What if it's discovered?
The Longyuan has already been equipped for service. Even if it's discovered, who can do anything to Long Village?
It's like with mushrooms. When I didn't have any mushrooms, I had to be very careful in everything I did, and I could only do mushroom research in secret.
But now that I have mushrooms, even if I conduct mushroom research openly, who would dare to interfere?
There's a big difference between having no sword and having one in hand!
...
Longyuan-class destroyer?
Upon hearing this name, many people in the scene couldn't help but narrow their pupils.
Although just a name, this name, along with Qin Shan's reaction, conveyed a lot of information to them.
"Qin, has your warship been equipped for service?"
Subconsciously, a representative from the Village of Ramen spoke up.
Hearing this, everyone unconsciously turned their attention to Qin Shan.
Although this question sounds somewhat silly, after all, warships are already in front of them now.
And it looks like everything is already in place, the number on the bow partially visible, how can it be not yet in service?
But while they knew it, the crowd still wanted to hear the most accurate information from Qin Shan's mouth.
Or, in other words, to learn more information from Qin Shan!
Not only the others, but even Modalarhan, who had just returned his gaze from the distant warship, also looked at Qin Shan, waiting for his response.
Faced with the crowd's attention, Qin Shan smiled slightly before saying:
"This is our latest warship developed by Long Village. Currently, twelve of them have been completed and equipped!"
Twelve ships?
Hearing this number, the breaths of everyone were momentarily halted.
Although they had already guessed that Long Village may have equipped the Longyuan-class destroyers, hearing this number, everyone still found it difficult to believe.
Equipped and mass equipped, although only two words apart, they represent completely different concepts!
The former may simply represent existence, not necessarily combat readiness, and many of them might just be experimental equipment.
Such things are too common in the field of military equipment.
Such as the previous models of the 52 destroyers developed by Long Village.
Each model was produced only one or two for technical testing...
While in equipped, the mass equipped represents that these equipment have passed strict tests and have become fully combat-ready!
"Qin, would you show us your Longyuan-class destroyer?"
After a long while, Modalarhan regained his composure and then said directly.
Hearing this, Qin Shan nodded slightly and said, "Of course, if you're interested, come with me..."
With a positive response, Modalarhan's face couldn't help but show a trace of excitement.
Meanwhile, the representatives from the other villages were shaken internally.
"It seems, they don't even bother with secrecy..."
A thought spontaneously flashed through the minds of the crowd.
The ability to view the ship up close meant something that was self-evident.
Just like the previous power armor, it is undeniable that Long Village has sufficient confidence to protect its secrets!
Or, in other words, they are not afraid that they know the secrets!
Just like the Black and White Eagle Village in the past, which directly opened up its nuclear-powered aircraft carrier for worldwide viewing.
Fearful that you might see their secrets?
No, what difference does it make if you see it?
Can you produce it?
In a daze, looking at Qin Shan's figure turning and walking towards the Longyuan warship, the crowd felt as if they had seen the Black and White Eagle Village of the past.
Long Village?
Black and White Eagle Village?
Who is the eagle and who is the dragon?
...
Not long after, under Qin Shan's guidance, the group arrived at the location of the 111th Longyuan-class destroyer.
"So big!"
"It's too big, can this really be a destroyer?"
Too terrifying, how many secrets does Long Village still keep from the world?"
...
Looking at the giant nearby, one after another voices were heard in succession.
The crowd even felt that the so-called destroyer in front of them was even larger than the Ticang-class cruiser they had seen from the Black and White Eagle Village.
And maybe even much larger!!
Although this is just an estimate, not accurate, they are convinced of this belief!
Apart from its size, the first impression the crowd had was that —
"Too beautiful, this warship is like a perfect work of art!"
The representatives present were not simple-minded creatures who had never seen the world.
They had ideas, and their experience could be said to exceed that of most people in the world. Many had even personally boarded various warships of the Black and White Eagle Village, and some had even observed from a close distance on nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.
However, whether it's the advanced Aegis ships of the Black and White Eagle Village, or cruisers, or other ships from other villages,
Compared to the warship in front of them now, there was no way that their appearance could even be compared.
To some extent, comparing this warship to others is an affront to it!
It's like comparing a toad frog and a swan.
Looking around the world, almost all villages' warships are covered with dense arrays of masts, antennas, radars, and other equipment.
Take the Black and White Eagle Village as an example, the iconic building of the Black and White Eagle Village's warships is the huge clothesline!
Whether it's the Aegis ship, the cruiser, or even the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the Black and White Eagle Village.
Without exception, they all carried laundry lines!
Once, it was a synonym for the advanced status of the Black and White Eagle Village.
Now, after seeing Long Village's warships, and thinking of the laundry lines of the Black and White Eagle Village, the first feeling of the crowd was one of being unappealing!
Looking around, there were no abnormal protruding parts on the entire warship.
All antennas, radars, and other equipment were completely invisible!
A streamlined body designed for stealth, looking like one whole thing!
Even if someone is completely uninterested in weapons, after seeing this warship, they would probably be unable to help but exclaim.
Beside the crowd, Modalarhan and other camel representatives had their eyes beginning to shine.
Originally, after seeing their own warship, Modalarhan was extremely excited in his heart.
But now, after seeing the warship in front of him, he suddenly felt that he had just gotten into his hands...
No, or in other words, the warship he had not yet officially taken charge of suddenly didn't seem as appealing anymore.
Compared to this warship in front of them, the 52GE destroyer they had previously ordered was just... ordinary.
This warship in front of him was just like his dream ship!
Instinctively, Modalarhan reached out and unconsciously touched his pocket...
"Qin, can you tell us about the basic data of your warship?"
Finally, after a long time, Modalarhan recovered his composure, reluctantly took his eyes off of the 111th ship, and then looked at Qin Shan, slowly speaking.
In response to the question, Qin Shan smiled slightly and then said:
"Of course..."
He glanced around the crowd and then slowly spoke:
"The Longyuan-class destroyer is one of the most advanced warships currently in service in our Long Village!"
"Its total length is 185 meters, width is 24 meters, standard displacement is 11500 tons, full displacement is 14600 tons, the entire ship uses all-electric propulsion system, maximum speed is 35 knots, and endurance is 10000 nautical miles..."
Along with Qin Shan's voice, one number after another was spoken out one after another from his mouth.
"14,600 tons full load displacement..."
"Hiss..."
Hearing this number, everyone present couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Destroyer!
14,000 tons displacement!
Good job!
Is this a destroyer??
Even the Ticonderoga-class cruiser of the Black and White Eagle Village has a full load displacement of less than one million tons!
Looking at the world, except for the nuclear-powered cruiser passed down from the Old Polar Bear era in the hands of the Polar Bear, there is no other destroyer or cruiser in service with a displacement exceeding that of the Longyuan-class destroyer in front of us.
At this level, Long Village calls it a destroyer?
Isn't it so absurd?
And endurance.
10,000 nautical miles!!
If converted into kilometers, it would be over 18,500 kilometers!
Is this the endurance of a conventional warship?
In the entire world, except for nuclear-powered warships, what warship has such a terrifying endurance?
"Wait..."
Suddenly, as if he had remembered something, the representative of Iron Tower Village suddenly spoke up:
"Qin, is this warship nuclear-powered?"
Nuclear power?
Hearing this name, everyone else also came back to their senses and then suddenly turned their gaze to Qin Shan.
If it's nuclear-powered, then the endurance of over 18,500 kilometers isn't strange at all.
Even if it's 180,000 kilometers, as long as the supplies on board can keep up, it's not a problem.
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Qin Shan smiled and said:
"There's no need to overthink this. The 111th ship we're facing here is not nuclear-powered..."
Not nuclear power?
Hearing Qin Shan's voice, everyone present couldn't help but widen their eyes.
Not nuclear-powered and yet it has an endurance of over 18,500 kilometers?
Your propulsion system must be on drugs?
"Wait!"
Suddenly, another voice echoed:
"Qin, what do you mean by saying that the 111th ship isn't nuclear-powered?"
Following the sound, the speaker turned out to be the representative of San De Village.
Hearing the representative of San De Village, the other representatives were taken aback, and then they quickly realized what was going on.
The pupils couldn't help but shrink.
Qin Shan had just responded to them that the 111th ship is not nuclear-powered!
That's right, it's the 111th ship, not the Longyuan-class destroyer!
Although the 111th ship is also a Longyuan-class destroyer, it is clear that not all Longyuan-class destroyers are the 111th ship!
There is a fundamental difference between the two.
"Qin, do you mean that the other Longyuan-class destroyers are nuclear-powered destroyers?"
Without thinking, a representative of a village directly spoke up.
Hearing this, Qin Shan didn't respond.
He didn't give a clear response.
Although this is indeed the case, Qin Shan didn't need to say much about it.
Just know it, does it matter if it's specific or not?
Moreover, the "nuclear power" he mentioned is not the same as the "nuclear power" these people are talking about.
Out of the twelve Longyuan-class destroyers that were the first to be deployed, eight were nuclear-powered, and all of them used nuclear fusion power!
This is the upgraded version of the original Longyuan ship!
These eight nuclear fusion-powered Longyuan-class destroyers are part of Long Village's anti-wood defense system, the "Celestial Shield System"!
Carrying several large-powered electromagnetic cannons and laser cannons, they still bear the responsibility of defending against wooden things!
However, Qin Shan had no intention of telling these people, as there was no need to...
However, Qin Shan's silence fell on the eyes of the crowd and seemed to be an implicit acknowledgment.
Nuclear-powered destroyer?
Just thinking about this word, the corners of everyone's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Without their knowledge, Long Village has built and put into service twelve destroyers with a displacement of over one million tons in secret!
And among them, there are even nuclear-powered destroyers!
"Long Village, such a foundation is just too terrifying..."
What Long Village has shown to the world so far has already caused the entire Blue Star to turn its head.
Whether it's Sword Twenty-One or Sword Twenty, or those hypersonic weapons, as well as those electromagnetic weapons, Chi Xun Hei Yu and so on.
Any one of these would make countless people drool.
But right when they thought that Long Village had reached its limit, Long Village once again threw out a massive killer in front of them!
How many more things are hidden behind Long Village?
How many more things are there that they haven't seen?
They can't even imagine it!
After what seemed like a long time, a voice finally rang out again:
"Qin, is that main cannon on your warship an electromagnetic cannon, right?"
Hearing this, Qin Shan looked at the other party and nodded slightly, saying:
"Yes, the main cannon on the 111th ship is a 80mm electromagnetic cannon. This electromagnetic cannon has an effective range of 600 kilometers, an effective shooting height of 100 kilometers, and within the effective range, the error is ±30mm. It can easily penetrate steel plates up to 300mm in thickness!"
Effective range refers to the range at which the accuracy can be guaranteed.
"Hiss!!!"
After hearing what Qin Shan had said, everyone present couldn't help but take another deep breath.
