    Of course!

    In the gaze of everyone present, Qin Shan responded without hesitation.

    This time, he brought the Kunlun-class amphibious assault ship and the Wǔ Yuè-class unmanned aerial carrier over, which was essentially to flaunt their muscle power.

    Even if these people don't mention it, he plans to find an opportunity to leak information about the two warships later.

    Now that these people bring it up, it saves him the trouble...

    Glancing around at the crowd, Qin Shan continued:

    "Let's start with the Kunlun-class amphibious assault ship..."

    "The Kunlun-class amphibious assault ship is one of our latest developed warships by Long Village. It has a full load displacement of 30,000 tons and carries 16 armed helicopters equipped with our newly developed Jinzhe-level electromagnetic cannon technology!"

    Jingzhe-class electromagnetic cannon attack helicopters?

    Upon hearing this name, everyone was taken aback.

    Following that, many eyes started to show an uncontrollable excitement and a trace of concealed awe.

    Before Qin Shan could continue, a voice echoed directly:

    "Mr. Qin, what are the electromagnetic cannons equipped on the Jingzhe-class electromagnetic cannon attack helicopters? Are they mounted on drones?"

    Upon hearing this, the remaining commanders who had not yet come to their senses also regained their composure and began directing their gazes towards Qin Shan.

    The fact that Long Village has electromagnetic cannons is no longer a secret.

    But mounting electromagnetic cannons on helicopters?

    Why is it so absurd?

    Facing the gaze of everyone, Qin Shan didn't keep them in suspense; he nodded and said:

    "As everyone guesses, the Jingzhe-class electromagnetic cannon attack helicopters naturally are armed helicopters equipped with electromagnetic cannons!"

    "Being the latest developed WZ of Long Village, the Jingzhe-class WZ is equipped with two 35mm electromagnetic cannons, two 60mm rocket launchers with a capacity of 48 rounds each, and two missile launch systems with a capacity of eight each..."

    "Additionally, the Jingzhe-class WZ is also equipped with a specialized active phased array radar developed for WZs, as well as an active missile defense system..."

    As Qin Shan spoke, the parameters of the Jingzhe-class WZ gradually became known to the audience.

    After listening to what Qin Shan had said, many people's lips twitched slightly.

    The idea of electromagnetic cannons on helicopters had completely shattered their previous understanding.

    Considering the power of electromagnetic cannons, they could well imagine how terrifying it would be for ground armor forces if these electromagnetic cannon-armed helicopters were truly deployed on the battlefield!

    That would be a nightmare!

    After all, the power of the electromagnetic cannons showcased by Long Village was too strong, or one could say it was monstrous!

    A 12mm electromagnetic sniper rifle can penetrate a 10 cm titanium alloy plate at a distance of 1000 meters!

    And the electromagnetic cannon on the 59-01 electromagnetic cannon main battle tank unveiled by Long Village previously had a caliber of 30mm, and its power was so great that it could penetrate a homogeneous steel plate with a thickness of 450mm within an effective range of 6,000 meters!

    Thirty millimeters are already terrifying, let alone the current thirty-five millimeters.

    Although the latter only represents a 5mm increase in caliber, anyone with a bit of common sense can understand that these two are not on the same level of weaponry!

    Combining the data of the electromagnetic near-defense guns on the Longyuan-class destroyer revealed by Long Village before, it is not difficult for people to judge that the power of electromagnetic cannons does not lie in the caliber.

    It lies in the output power of the electromagnetic cannons themselves!

    There is no doubt that the electromagnetic cannons of the electromagnetic cannon-armed helicopters mentioned by Qin Shan must have a higher output power than those 59-01 main battle tanks!

    In other words, the lethality of these electromagnetic cannons is likely to be higher than the thirty millimeter electromagnetic cannons on electromagnetic cannon tanks.

    Imagine a shell with a penetration capability exceeding 450mm raining down from the heavens; what tank can withstand that?

    To be honest, no tank can withstand a shell like that!

    What is this but a nightmare?

    To be quite honest, the only potential flaw of this helicopter might be the inherent limitations of helicopters themselves.

    With the development of modern air defense systems, as long as a village has some defense capabilities, helicopters are essentially not a threat.

    After all, even a single missile like the FIM-92 Stinger or similar, can easily destroy a WZ, making it difficult for WZs to survive in modern battlefields.

    Even the Baiheiying village, which had clashed with the camels and was invincible in the desert war with Shuadaomu, the Patchi armed helicopter that was almost deified in those battles, had not appeared very often.

    The few times it appeared were mostly at the beginning, and then it disappeared without a trace.

    Even the few times they appeared, the Patchi armed helicopters that did appear, when sent out in groups of ten, never returned more than five!

    That's the reality!

    One could say that for modern battlefields, WZs are already a rather useless weapon.

    Even if equipped with electromagnetic cannons, the inherent flaws of WZs still remain, such as low flight altitude and slow speed. Isn't this essentially a target for single-shot air defense missiles?

    Thinking of this, the commander of the HashiQi village couldn't help but show a trace of sarcasm in his eyes.

    With the addition of active phased array radar and a host of seemingly complex technologies, it's no wonder they looked impressed.

    Long Village has created a seemingly useless weapon using the most advanced technology, which is great news for the HushiQi.

    Although they themselves don't gain anything from it, seeing Long Village suffer is good news, isn't it?

    However, suddenly——

    "Wait a minute!"

    A sudden thought crossed the commander's mind from HashiQi village.

    "Mr. Qin, what do you mean by the active missile defense system you just mentioned?"

    While secretly gloating and making fun, the commander of HashiQi village suddenly remembered something from Qin Shan's last words.

    Active missile defense system!

    This term is not difficult to understand, and anyone with some basic military knowledge can roughly guess its content.

    But, a missile defense system on a helicopter?

    How are these two things connected?

    Can Long Village really move a missile defense system onto a helicopter?

    Not only the representatives of HashiQi village, but also the commanders from other villages, all came to their senses after being reminded by the HashiQi representative.

    Then, they all looked puzzled and lost.

    Seeing this, Qin Shan smiled slightly and then said:

    "The active missile defense system is exactly as the name suggests, a defensive air defense system that can actively detect incoming missiles and engage in active defense!"

    "???." After listening to what Qin Shan had said, the crowd didn't seem to understand it at all, and even became more confused.

    Qin Shan's words contained all the words they could understand, and even some commanders who did not speak Longzhu language could grasp it after translation.

    But when the words were strung together, they truly had no idea what was being said.

    "Dawali, can you explain it in detail?"

    After a long time, the commander from the North Polar Bear village finally couldn't hold back and spoke up.

    Upon hearing this, Qin Shan looked at the other party and then nodded.

    Upon hearing this, Qin Shan glanced at the other person, nodded, and said: "To put it simply, it is an advanced defense system installed on the Jingzhe-class helicopter. It is equipped with a radar system capable of detecting incoming anti-aircraft missiles or air-to-air missiles. Upon detection of an incoming missile, the system's AI will analyze the situation and decide whether to disrupt the target with electromagnetic interference or engage it with electromagnetic cannons or onboard air-to-air missiles…"

    "???" After hearing Qin Shan's explanation, the crowd looked even more bewildered.

    Armed helicopters, engaging electromagnetic cannons and air-to-air missiles to intercept air-to-air and anti-air missiles?

    Come on, are you even listening to what you're saying?

    Sure, detecting incoming missiles is fine. Most modern fighter jets and WZs have radar detection and warning systems.

    But you can't just detect incoming missiles, but also counteract them. Is this for real?

    You're an armed helicopter... Alright, you're an electromagnetic cannon-equipped WZ, so it's not surprising that you have an electromagnetic cannon. But what the hell, you've even mounted air-to-air missiles on a WZ?

    Is this reasonable? Is it suitable?

    At this moment, everyone only felt that their worldviews had all fallen apart…

    At this moment, a voice rang out again: "Mr. Qin, those two WZs that appeared in the rescue operation of the CAMEL's hostages at the octopus, should be your electromagnetic cannon-armed Jingzhe-class helicopters, right?"

    Looking towards the sound, the speaker was none other than the commander of the Kangaroo village who had been mingling with the Baiheiying village earlier.

    This time, the Kangaroo village was one of the invited villages…

    Hearing the Kangaroo village commander's voice, everyone were startled for a moment and then their minds involuntarily started to recall the information from the octopus village.

    The rescue operation for the Camel villagers' hostages at the octopus village, although neither the octopus nor Long Village had publicized it, had been strongly promoted by the camel people.

    It can be said that it was that very action that finally convinced the Camel tribe, who had been somewhat hesitant and had reservations about Long Village, to completely abandon their resistance and seek to overthrow Long Village's control!

    That time also marked the desert's complete loss of control to the octopus people!

    To a certain extent, that action can be considered a turning point in the status between the Camels and the Black Eagles factions!

    As the armed forces that participated in the rescue operation, the identity of the participants and traces left at the scene had once been a focus of worldwide attention!

    The identity of the armed personnel who rescued the hostages and the traces left at the scene had become a global focus. Up until now, many villages still have some of the relics left behind by the members of Long Village's WZ regiment that they had obtained through various means.

    For example, the bullets from the electromagnetic rifles, the shells from the electromagnetic cannon drones, and the photos of the battlefield left after the battle that were taken on the scene!

    To this day, after Long Village revealed its powered armor, everyone knows that the team that carried out that operation must have been the elite WZ regiment of Long Village wearing powered armor.

    However, the two mysterious armed helicopters that appeared at that time had not been publicly revealed yet.

    According to the incomplete information given by the octopus village at the time, their position was attacked by an unknown ground force and also subjected to a massive coverage-style attack by a mysterious aerial force.

    The traces left behind after the battle on the scene also fully proved this point.

    Just thinking about the traces they had captured on video, everyone couldn't help but shiver.

    A main battle tank that was directly hit and penetrated!

    A fortress that was destroyed in one hit!

    Covered by an area denial strike, like a battery of heavy artillery had unleashed a devastating barrage...

    Every single picture was spine-chilling!

    If those were indeed left by Long Village's electromagnetic cannon-armed WZs, the information they conveyed would be far too terrifying!

    According to the intelligence from the octopus village at the time, the aerial forces they encountered that night were targeted at only two locations.

    According to the information from the octopus village at the time, there were only two targets for the aerial force they encountered that night.

    Just two were terrifying enough. Sixteen would be unimaginable!

    In front of the crowd, facing the Kangaroo village commander's inquiry, Qin Shan only smiled and did not make a direct response.

    It's not that they're afraid, but there's no need to say it. Everyone knows already, why say it out loud?

    After all, the incident was between the Camels. Some things would lose their fun if they were talked about, right?

    Upon seeing this, everyone understood everything.

    Although Qin Shan didn't explicitly say so, it's clear that those mysterious aerial forces that appeared at the Octopus village, must be Jingzhe!

    Just thinking about it, everyone's scalp started to tingle.

    Fortunately, at this moment, Qin Shan's voice rang out again:

    "Besides the Jingzhe, the Kunlun-class amphibious assault ship is also equipped with five Kui Niuclass 2C transport helicopters, five Kui Niuclass 4C transport helicopters and ten FQ-1 anti-submarine drones."

    Before the crowd could think much further, Qin Shan continued:

    Without giving the crowd much time to think, Qin Shan continued: "The Kui Niuclass 2C and 4C transport helicopters are both the latest magnetic levitation transport helicopters developed by Long Village. The former has a payload capacity of twenty tons, while the latter has a payload capacity of forty tons..."

    As Qin Shan spoke, the commander of the Polar Bear village couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

    "They actually did that!"

    A sudden thought occurred to him without his conscious control.

    He was one of the individuals who had accompanied Korinovsky for observation visits and negotiations to Long Village.

    He was one of the individuals who had accompanied Korinovsky for observation visits and negotiations to Long Village, where he first saw Long Village's magnetic levitation aircraft and learned about Long Village's "space elevator."

    They had pondered whether Long Village already possessed magnetic levitation transport aircraft, or even fighter jets.

    However, all along, these guesses had not been confirmed.

    Now, Qin Shan is actually presenting what they have been guessing about all this time during this joint training exercise.

    Magnetic levitation transport helicopters with a payload of twenty or forty tons!

    Just thinking about that number, the commander of the Polar Bear village couldn't help but swallow hard.

    Currently, the heaviest helicopter in blue stars is the M26 transport helicopter from the Polar Bear village, with a maximum payload of twenty tons.

    But the blue star's largest helicopter, which is also theirs, the M12, has a maximum payload of forty tons!

    However, their M12 was plagued by various defects and had never been mass-produced!

    In reality, the normal payload capacity of M12 was only twenty tons!

    And now, Long Village has not only presented the twenty-ton transport helicopter, but even the forty-ton transport helicopter!

    The most critical part is that Long Village has brought such a level of transport helicopter aboard their warship!

    What does that mean?

    To know, for their M26 heavy transport helicopter, its length is a whopping 40 meters, and its rotor diameter is as high as 32 meters!

    This may not be very intuitive, but by comparing it with other aircraft, it's easy to see. The Black Eagle Village's heavy stealth fighter jet, the Falcon, has a length of less than nineteen meters and a wingspan of less than fourteen meters!

    And the Sword 20 that Long Village sold to the Sand Camel people is also less than twenty meters long!

    If this comparison isn't enough, let's compare it with another aircraft, a Boeing 737-800 passenger plane from the Broadcasting Company, which is only slightly over forty meters long!

    That's a passenger plane!

    It can be imagined how massive these heavy transport helicopters must be!

    That's to say, transport aircraft of this level are completely impossible to be used as warships!

    Even the Black Eagle Village, despite their more advanced technology, only managed to put a transport helicopter with a maximum load of less than twenty tons on their warship.

    As for a transport helicopter with a load capacity of forty tons, and that's not even the maximum load, but the effective load capacity, that's pure fantasy!

    Something that even thinking about is scary!

    And the commander of the Polar Bear village even suspects that if it wasn't for the need, Long Village might even be able to develop a helicopter capable of carrying over one hundred tons!

    "Long Village..."

    "It's too abnormal..."

    At this moment, the commander of the Polar Bear village is thirsty and dry.
