The docking ceremony took place on New Moon Island.
The Russian representatives attending the ceremony were the admiral of the Russian Pacific Fleet and the Russian ambassador to Xin. On the Xin side, the president of Celestial Trade, Jiang Chen, and the vice president of Xin attended the docking ceremony.
In a friendly atmosphere, Jiang Chen boarded the ship, shook hands with the Russian admiral, signed the handover agreement with the Russian representative, and then inspected the navy soldiers who finished their training in Moscow.
The two Guardian-class frigates formed a line and fired at the target ship in the uninhabited sea area, demonstrating the excellent firepower of the Russian-made weapons to Celestial Trade. The Russian admiral looked at the water curtain that soared into the sky and the target ship that was torn to pieces. He smiled at Jiang Chen in a friendly manner and didn't hide the pride in his eyes.
The rugged looking Russian was instinctively proud of the weapons produced in his country.
Jiang Chen didn't show too much surprise as he smiled politely and applauded with the attendees.
The firepower was impressive, but compared to the weapons in the apocalypse, it was still weaker.
After the modification of the engineering robots, Jiang Chen was confident that the firepower of this thing could be doubled. The Type-50 J-type electromagnetic pulse cannon under development in Fallout Shelter 027 was the enlarged version of the original Type-50 electromagnetic pulse cannon. It could launch a maximum of 50 kilograms of bombs with a maximum range of 250 kilometers, far exceeding the conventional cannon. With the cooperation of early warning aircraft or satellites, the frigates equipped with the electromagnetic pulse cannon could extend the combat radius from 70 kilometers to 100 kilometers, far exceeding the combat radius of conventional warships.
Compared to the electromagnetic pulse cannon installed on the joint high-speed ship "Milinocit", the Type-50 J-type electromagnetic pulse cannon was significantly smaller. However, just because it was slim didn't mean that its lethality was low. In the near future, it would become a scalpel in the Pacific Ocean with its ferocious firepower!
Although the overheating problem of the magnetic track had yet to be solved, with the continued development, it wouldn't be long before the technical problem was solved.
The two Type 636 Kilo-class submarines fired torpedoes at the floating target and demonstrated their firepower to the people on land through the combat video. Then the two submarines floated up and raised their flags. The entire crew boarded the deck and saluted Jiang Chen and the other representatives.
While raising his hand, Jiang Chen whispered to the potbellied Russian ambassador next to him.
"Impressive firepower."
When Valery Lekosov heard Jiang Chen's words, he grinned and whispered in fluent Han, "Our firearms have always been reliable. If Mr. Jiang is interested in adding security to your back garden, please contact us."
The portly Mr. Legasov had an inexplicable familiarity, which perhaps had something to do with his comically large burgundy nose, and his potbelly, which strained his suit.
For the Russian Ambassador's use of the term "back garden", Jiang Chen just smiled and did not deny it. To the intelligence agents of the Five Great Hoodlums, this was no secret at all. Considering his cooperative relationship with the Russians, his tacit agreement would also help increase the other party's attention on him.
Sure enough, seeing that Jiang Chen didn't correct him, the smile on Valery's face widened.
"In South Asia, where there are only a few fishing boats, the Kilo-class submarines are enough for you to do whatever you want. Right now, your only threat is the planes in the sky. Why don't you consider buying a few anti-aircraft rockets? Trust me, our S-400 air defense system will definitely satisfy you. "
"I will seriously consider your opinion. But for now, we don't have any plans to expand our military. "Jiang Chen pushed the reason to maintain the stability of the region and rejected Valery's proposal.
Of course, Jiang Chen wouldn't tell him the real reason. Even Russia's newly developed S-500 air defense system would not catch his eye. As for this kind of sophisticated anti-air weapon, he could definitely get it from the apocalypse.
However, Valery accepted his reason. He shrugged his shoulders and did not continue to talk about this.
The warship handover ceremony quickly came to an end.
Following the procedure, the Russian delegation left. The Russian Admiral and Valery shook hands with the Xin Vice President and Jiang Chen.
"In my opinion, you are smarter than most dictators in the world." Standing at the military port of New Moon Island, before boarding the liner back to Coro Island, Valery said to Jiang Chen.
"Oh? Why do you say that? "Jiang Chen smiled.
Valery glanced at the vice president who was chatting with the Russian Navy Admiral not far away and said, "Most dictators are eager to show off their hegemony to their people and are busy letting the world know how dangerous they are. But you are different. Your approach is brilliant. Xin has the most democratic system in the world. Whether it's universal suffrage or freedom of speech, but the economy and national defense are all controlled by you. Xin will never pass an anti-monopoly law, so your actions will always be legal. "
"Thank you for your compliment. But can I ask something? Is this the Russian side's assessment or Mr. Legasov's personal opinion? "
Hearing this, Valery laughed heartily.
"Please don't overthink it. Of course, this is my personal opinion. But can Mr. Jiang answer a question for me? Something personal. "
"Of course." Jiang Chen smiled.
"You're already very rich, and you even bought a country. Based on what I've seen over the years, dictators and monopolists are usually 'lazy' because they don't have competitors. Maintaining the status quo is the perfect state. But you, who have both, seem to be the opposite. Even now, Future Group is still expanding the market while Celestial Trade continues to upgrade weapons. I'm personally curious … what is your dream? "Valery asked.
"Mr. Legasov, your question is very strange. Microsoft is also very rich, and in some sense, they have formed a monopoly on the 'standard', but they have never stopped expanding the market. Future Group is an enterprise, so we must continue to improve and maintain competitiveness. Also, I need to correct your perception. It's not dictators who are lazy, but dictators who are short-sighted. "
"Then the dictator with foresight, you still haven't answered me. What is your dream?" Valery mocked.
"My dream?" Jiang Chen smiled.
"This is just a personal question. If it's inconvenient, please forget about it." Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't respond, Valery said politely.
"It's not inconvenient. Before, it was purely to make more money, but now …" Jiang Chen waved his hand, paused, and continued, "I want to see further places."
Just like Mr. Legasov said, Jiang Chen already made a fortune he couldn't even imagine a year and a half ago.
Even in the next ten years, even if Future Group didn't introduce any new technology, just the virtual reality business alone was enough to make it stand at a height no other company could rival. Even in a multipolar world with faster scientific research than a tripolar world, there was no way anyone in the modern world could create immersive virtual reality technology within ten years.
If it wasn't for the Evolution Ark sent by the Harmony on its way to Earth …
After Valery and the other Russian representatives left, Jiang Chen immediately found Ivan and ordered the two frigates and two submarines to be moved to the military port on Coconut Island. There, the engineering robots would complete the "modernization" of the warship's weapons.
