Chapter 390 Battleship Montana
After these people returned to the new city, they seemed to have aged ten years overnight and their faces were filled with fatigue.
They thought they were unrivaled geniuses, but when they actually returned to Germany, they found that this was not the case.
They realized that they had little to do with Nanhua's current advancement. They were just standing on a platform called "Nanhua" and they looked like first-class scientists.
They mistook the platform for their own strength, but this trip to Germany was like a mirror, allowing them to see their true selves.
Some people even began to regret not signing a lifetime contract.
After all, there is nothing wrong with everyone's eyes. The mental state of those who have signed lifetime contracts is even better than those who are thirty years younger!
More importantly, they don’t think they are worse than those people. After all, they all came here together from Germany and are very familiar with and understand each other.
But now, there is such a huge difference between those who signed the contract and those who did not. There must be some secret hidden in it that they don’t know.
However, no matter how much I regret it now, it is of no use.
The base never gave them a second chance since they refused to sign a lifetime contract.
As for the United States and the Soviet Union, they originally hoped to uncover the mystery of South China technology by obtaining these South China scientists, but in the end they felt very helpless.
These Nanhua scientists knew nothing about the situation in Nanhua. They had no chance to come into contact with either Ze particles or computers, chips and other technologies.
This caused the United States and the Soviet Union to waste a whole year in vain. If these people were not South Chinese citizens, they would have vented their anger on them long ago.
When the Soviet Union and the United States realized that they could not obtain the technology they wanted from Germany, they moved quickly to establish their own scientific research programs.
Both countries have greatly increased their investment in the field of microphysics and provided unlimited financial support.
At the same time, they began to build various large-scale observation facilities.
This move brought the original space race between the United States and the Soviet Union to a standstill.
After all, limited resources are invested heavily in the field of microphysics, making it difficult to take into account the development of space technology.
In order to boost morale and demonstrate national strength, the US government immediately announced that the "New Montana" battleship would soon begin sea trials.
The design of this battleship was inspired by the Nanhua battleship. Especially after learning that Nanhua helped mainland China to transform the battleship, the United States further upgraded it.
The current "New Montana" battleship has the same design concept as the battleship delivered to the mainland by Nanhua.
The ship's full load displacement is as high as 12 tons, making it a veritable sea giant.
In comparison, even the aircraft carrier next to it seems dwarfed, like a child standing next to a giant.
This ship can definitely be said to be the pinnacle of shipbuilding in the world today!
Today's United States has not yet undergone the process of deindustrialization, and its domestic shipbuilding technology and professional workers are the best in the world.
Of course, Nanhua's cheating existence is not included in this list.
The battleship Montana is undoubtedly a sea behemoth equipped with impressive weapon systems.
The ship is equipped with 80 conventional missile launch ports, 4 long-range ballistic missile launch ports and 4 triple-mounted 406mm main guns.
In addition, there are sixteen anti-aircraft missile launchers to provide the warship with all-round defense capabilities.
The ship can reach a speed of 28 knots, but its hull is too wide to pass through the narrow Panama Canal.
This issue prompted the United States to review and launch a plan to improve the Panama Canal that had been canceled.
According to the latest plan, the United States has decided to widen the Panama Canal and build two new locks to ensure that the giant warship can travel freely between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
The news of the sea trial of the battleship Montana quickly spread throughout the United States, greatly eliminating people's fear of zeta particle weapons and focusing the public's attention on the warship.
This giant ship is even larger than the 100,000-ton battleships currently in service at Nanhua, and it is also a second-generation product, while Nanhua is still using the first-generation Nanhua battleships.
This contrast makes the American people full of expectations for the future of their country.
However, when the news spread, South China did not show an anxious attitude, but the Soviet Union became anxious.
Khrushchev issued instructions to speed up the construction of the Soviet Union's own giant battleships and provide unlimited financial and human resources support.
Both South China and the United States have this powerful battleship, and even the mainland has one.
For the Soviet Union, this was no longer just a question of the battleship's combat effectiveness, but also a question of the country's reputation.
