Siheyuan: Start at level 60, beat up all the animals

After the press conference, Li Yang returned to his laboratory. Facing the reactions from around the world, his expression remained calm. This was only part of his plan, and there was still a long way to go.

He walked to a huge workbench, on which were several brand new design drawings. His eyes fell on one of the drawings, which was a brand new weapon design - an air-space fighter. This would be his next plan, a project that was even larger than the ground-effect aircraft carrier.

Li Yang knew that future wars would not only be fought on the ground or on the sea, but space would be the battlefield of the future. What he had to do was to build an aerospace army for Yan State that could gallop in space.

Just then, the door of the laboratory was gently pushed open, and Li Yang's assistant walked in with a latest intelligence report in his hand.

"Engineer Li, this is the latest information just received from the intelligence department. The United States and Russia are stepping up their research on our technology, especially the power system of ground-effect aircraft carriers."

Li Yang took the report, glanced at it, and raised his lips slightly: "Let them do the research. The ground effect vehicle is just the beginning. The battlefield of the future is no longer under their control."

He raised his head and looked through the laboratory window at the sky in the distance. The blue sky was still vast and boundless, as if waiting for him to lead Yan Country step by step into the future.

"The road we are on has just begun," Li Yang whispered, with an unquestionable firmness in his voice, "The future belongs to us."

He turned and walked to the experimental table to continue the next step of work. He knew that the era of Yan Country had quietly arrived.

After the launch of the ground-effect aircraft carrier, the global reaction spread rapidly like a tsunami. The intelligence departments, military institutions and scientific researchers of the United States, Russia and other countries fell into unprecedented shock and panic.

In the Pentagon of the United States, an emergency meeting was underway. The president looked gloomy, his hands tightly grasping the edge of the table, as if he wanted to suppress all his anger and anxiety on the cold wood. His eyes swept over every senior military and intelligence official present, his eyes flashing with uncontrollable anxiety.

“Tell me, what is going on?” His voice was low and cold, as if he was suppressing the anger that could erupt at any time.

Intelligence Director Mark Johnson stood up slowly, with cold sweat on his forehead flashing under the light. The documents in his hands were shaking violently, and it was obvious that his thoughts were completely disrupted by the scenes at the previous press conference.

"Mr. President, we are... we are still analyzing this intelligence." He spoke with difficulty, a hint of uneasiness in his voice, "But according to preliminary judgment, Yan Country's ground-effect aircraft carrier does exist, and its performance far exceeds our expectations."

The room suddenly became quiet, and everyone held their breath. Although everyone present was unwilling to believe this, the actual combat scenes shown at the press conference and the confident attitude of Yan Country clearly showed that they had overcome the technical bottleneck of ground effect aircraft carriers.

"This is simply... ridiculous!" Defense Secretary Paul Reed stood up suddenly and slammed the table angrily. "How could they achieve this technological breakthrough in such a short time? Nuclear reactors and the stability of ground-effect vehicles are extremely complex technologies! Our own research team believes that this is simply impossible to achieve at this stage!"

The senior generals of the United States nodded one after another, their faces full of doubt and anxiety. But even so, the lingering panic in their hearts became stronger and stronger. Because they knew that Yan Country had already demonstrated its extraordinary technological strength in energy tanks, and the current ground-effect aircraft carrier was more like a heavy iron fist, smashing their fantasy of their own technological advantages.

"We must respond!" The commander-in-chief's voice echoed in the conference room, with an unquestionable determination in his tone, "Immediately launch an emergency intelligence gathering operation and make sure to find out the source of their technology. Also, summon our top scientists to come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible." He paused, his eyes becoming more gloomy, "We can't let Yan Country go too far in this technological competition."

At the same time, in the Kremlin, there was also a tense atmosphere. Maozi stood in front of the huge French window, his hands behind his back, his face deeply wrinkled. He stared at the Red Square outside the window, as if he was thinking about something, or waiting for something.

"Comrades," he spoke slowly, his voice low, "Yan Country's announcement caught us off guard. Their ground-effect aircraft carrier has far exceeded our expectations."

The Minister of Defense stood aside, his face livid. The intelligence report in his hand had been crumpled by him, but he still tried to remain calm: "Chairman, our technical team is stepping up the analysis of this intelligence. But preliminary judgment is that the power system and nuclear reactor of this aircraft may have indeed broken through our technical bottleneck."

Maozi frowned slightly, and his deep eyes swept over every official in the conference room: "We have always been confident in our technological advantages. But now, Yan Country has demonstrated their strength in front of us. Can we accept this reality?"

The meeting room was in a dead silence, and no one dared to speak. Although they were unwilling to admit it in their hearts, the fact was that Yan Country's technology was ahead of them.

"We can't just sit there and wait for death." Maozi's voice was filled with cold determination. "Immediately launch our ground effect vehicle project and mobilize all resources. We must catch up with them at all costs."

Just as countries around the world were worried about Yan's press conference, Yan's official media once again released a shocking actual combat video. This time, Yan directly demonstrated the performance of the ground-effect aircraft carrier in simulated combat, which completely pushed the world into the abyss of panic.

At the beginning of the video, there is a vast sea, calm and peaceful, with only a few seabirds flying over the water, making a few crisp calls. Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared on the sea in the distance. It was a ground-effect aircraft carrier, flying low at an incredible speed. It was huge, far larger than an ordinary warship, but it was like a nimble seabird, gliding easily on the sea.

The narration of the video is concise and powerful: "This is Yan Country's latest ground-effect aircraft carrier, which has strong maneuverability and combat capability. It can quickly maneuver outside the enemy's air defense system, conduct long-range strikes, and carry a variety of weapon systems."

The camera switches to a plane deck where several fighters are ready to go. As the command is given, the fighters take off quickly, cutting through the sky and heading straight for the target ahead. At the same time, the side wings of the plane unfold, and dozens of missiles whiz out, hitting the simulated enemy fleet in the distance.

The next second, explosions continued on the sea surface, flames shot up into the sky, and the enemy fleet collapsed instantly under the powerful firepower. The speed of the aircraft's attack and its high accuracy were simply jaw-dropping.

When watching this video, the top military officers of the United States turned pale and clenched their fists. They had never seen such a powerful weapon system, and even their proud aircraft carrier battle group seemed vulnerable in front of this aircraft.

"This... this is a nightmare." The Pentagon's combat commander whispered. The coffee cup in his hand had turned white from being squeezed by him, and the coffee overflowed from the brim and spilled onto the table.

The Russian intelligence department fell into a deeper panic. They have always regarded ground effect vehicles as the core technology for future combat, but decades of research have never made any breakthroughs, while Yan Country has developed this technology to an unattainable height.

"We were wrong." The director of the Intelligence Bureau's voice trembled, as if he was admitting an unacceptable fact, "Yan Country has already walked ahead of us, even far beyond our imagination."

Military experts, media and government officials around the world were in a state of panic and anxiety. The release of the ground-effect aircraft carrier and the display of actual combat videos undoubtedly tilted the balance of global military power towards Yan Country.

The United States and Russia quickly entered a state of emergency. The United States President held a top-secret meeting in the Oval Office of the White House, with participants including the Secretary of Defense, the Director of Intelligence, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and other top decision-makers.

"We need a countermeasure," the commander-in-chief said in a low voice, with an unquestionable command, "Yan Country's ground-effect aircraft carrier has threatened the global military balance."

Defense Secretary Paul Reid stood up and said in a heavy tone: "Our current aircraft carrier battle groups cannot fight against such weapons. Their mobility and strike capabilities are completely beyond our defense range."

"Then what should we do?" The commander-in-chief glanced coldly at his defense officials.

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff spoke slowly: "We must speed up the development of hypersonic weapons and come up with means to counter ground-effect aircraft carriers as soon as possible. In addition, we also need to strengthen the space defense system to ensure that we can have air superiority in future wars."

At the same time, a secret meeting was being held in Maozi's palace. Maozi looked gloomy, tapping the table with his fingers, appearing unusually calm.

"The release of Yan Country has completely reversed the global military situation." The director of the Intelligence Bureau said in a low voice with a hint of anxiety that was difficult to conceal. "They not only demonstrated their technical strength, but also proved their deterrent power through actual combat videos."

Maozi was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "We can't just sit there and wait for death. We must immediately start our ground effect vehicle project and catch up with Yan Country at all costs."

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the conference room instantly became tense. Everyone knew that this would be a protracted technological competition, and their opponent, Yan Country, was already far ahead in this competition.

With the release of Yan's ground-effect aircraft carrier, the global military landscape has changed dramatically. The United States and Russia have stepped up their intelligence gathering on Yan, even sending spies and submarines to try to steal more technical details. Other countries have fallen into deep panic and anxiety.

Several major European countries quickly convened a joint security meeting to discuss how to deal with the threat of Yan's new weapons. The French president spoke at the meeting, his tone full of anxiety: "We must strengthen Europe's defense system. Yan's ground-effect aircraft carrier has completely changed the rules of the global military game."

Commander John seemed calmer: "We need to unite the world's forces to jointly study how to deal with this weapon. The power of one country alone is no longer able to compete with Yan Country."

At the same time, several neighboring countries in Asia were even more anxious. The governments of Japan, South Korea and other countries issued statements calling on the international community to jointly respond to the military rise of Yan. For a time, undercurrents surged on the global diplomatic stage, military budgets of various countries increased, and the scientific and technological competition entered a white-hot stage.
