"Even if the x81 submarine starts construction immediately, it can only be a merchant ship and surface warship that attacks Germany, and it still cannot effectively deal with the mysterious submarines of the Germans."

Li Weiguo was also very happy to see the data about the x81 submarine, but he hoped to sink the mysterious submarine in Germany.

In Li Weiguo's view, if he could not sink Germany's mysterious submarine, the undersea secret war between China and Germany would become mutual harm.

This mutual harm means that both the Chinese Empire and German submarines can unscrupulously destroy each other's merchant ships and warships, but cannot destroy each other's submarines.

This is not the result that Li Weiguo wanted. He only likes to sink warships from other countries, but he does not like his own warships being sunk.

Looking at the history of the Chinese Empire, there are few naval warships when they are sunk. In every naval battle, not only Li Weiguo, but also all military and civilians of the Chinese Empire like to destroy the enemy's main force without losing a warship.

Perhaps it was this kind of thought that Li Weiguo would be upset when he heard the news that a destroyer of the navy was sunk and swear to find the German submarine and then sink it.

"Your Majesty, according to the internal reference report, it is very effective to capture the mysterious German submarine by using the most sensitive underwater sensor."

Just as Li Weiguo was wondering, Navy Minister Lin Jiyun hurriedly reminded him.

Lin Jiyun obviously had a unique purpose. He told Li Weiguo these things that were very simple, which was to hook up Li Weiguo's eager revenge mentality. Only in this way can the navy allocate more funds.

Sure enough, when Li Weiguo heard Lin Jiyun's words, he immediately became curious.

"What did you say? Use the most sensitive detector? Are you saying we already have such technology?"

Lin Jiyun hurriedly replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, I learned that the Tesla Academician of the Imperial Academy of Sciences has recently made a very powerful mineral vein detector, which is said to penetrate rocks hundreds of meters deep and find the location of the mineral. I believe that as long as this detector is modified, deep detection under the sea can be achieved. I expect that the mysterious German submarine will definitely have nowhere to hide."

Li Weiguo immediately said happily: "In theory, if there is such a detector, the sensitivity of its basic components can be used on sonar detection equipment. Since Tesla has such components, just ask him directly."

Lin Jiyun smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, that's right! I did apply to the Tesla Academician, but the Imperial Academy of Sciences replied that this involves an S-level secret of the Empire, so the equipment is not allowed to be handed over to the Admiralty."

"There is something like this?"

Li Weiguo was also stunned. Suddenly an S-level secret appeared, but he did not expect which S-level secret it was.

Seeing that Li Weiguo had the intention to ask, Mingyue then spoke and reminded: "Your Majesty, Academician Tesla is carrying out the Moon Gate Project."

Just after saying this, Li Weiguo immediately understood.

The Moon Gate Project is very confidential, far from the SS level, but the highest level of confidentiality established since the founding of the Chinese Empire. Without Li Weiguo's personal authorization, no one has the right to check the files about the Moon Gate Project, even if it is the Prime Minister of the Imperial Cabinet, so Lin Jiyun didn't know it even more and just regarded it as a state secret at the SS level.

When it comes to the Moon Gate project, this is very sensitive, so Li Weiguo is also cautious and does not make a decision immediately.

Of course, this does not mean that Li Weiguo does not trust Lin Jiyun, it is purely a matter of principle.

"You ask Xu Shou, if there is indeed such high-sensitivity components, they can be converted into equipment that can improve the detection capabilities of submarines and can be handed over to the Navy, which should not cause leakage."

Li Weiguo ordered Mingyue that although he could make a decision directly, he had to be principled. Since Xu Shou was the head of the Yueliang Gate Project, he would make orders beyond his authority, which was not the way of the emperor.

So Li Wei and the Congress first asked Xu Shou what he meant, which was the minimum respect for his ministers and allowed them to get the dignity they deserve.

Mingyue took the order and left temporarily. Lin Jiyun hurriedly thanked Li Weiguo for his help, but he was also wondering in his heart that this situation was rare, indicating that the so-called Moon Gate project was very confidential, and even Lin Jiyun, the Navy Minister, had no right to know.

However, Lin Jiyun was not interested in asking the bottom line. He had been with Li Weiguo for many years. He knew what he could ask and did not ask too much about what he had.

Since Li Weiguo has betrayed his help, Lin Jiyun is still quite confident. He believes that Xu Shou will not give Li Weiguo face.

But what Lin Jiyun didn't expect was that Li Weiguo's rebellious question made him feel worried.

"How did you learn that Tesla has developed a very powerful mineral detection instrument? How could it be sure that the components inside can be modified and used on the Navy sonar system?"

When Lin Jiyun heard Li Weiguo's question, he wanted to get away with it in a vague way, but Li Weiguo was not so easy to fool. Soon Lin Jiyun had to reveal the source of the news.

It turns out that Lin Jiyun's current status naturally has many relationships, including many in the Imperial Academy of Sciences.

In the entire Chinese history, human relationships are the most complicated. Friends and colleagues often like to brag, especially after getting drunk at dinner, they can’t keep telling secrets.

Lin Jiyun's news came from a dinner party. Experts from the Imperial Academy of Sciences learned that Tesla developed a very powerful detection equipment.

"Your Majesty, I shouldn't ask too much. Please punish me for my crime! It has nothing to do with other people!"

Lin Jiyun knew very well what Li Weiguo wanted to do, but he couldn't betray his friend who leaked the news to him. After all, he deliberately got his friend drunk and deliberately made a cliché. The mistake was on him and he didn't want to implicate innocent people.

Li Weiguo just said lightly: "I know this in my mind. You don't have to rush to apologize. If you really leak confidential information that shouldn't be leaked, even if you have a hundred heads, I will not be stingy with you a hundred times!"

Lin Jiyun suddenly felt a chill in his neck. He finally understood that the importance of this so-called Moon Gate Plan was definitely beyond imagination.

Lin Jiyun wanted to know what kind of secret it was that Li Weiguo was so cautious and valued, but unfortunately he didn't have the courage to ask.

Not long after, Mingyue came back and conveyed Xu Shou's meaning.

"Your Majesty, Xu Shou said that the gadget invented by Tesla does use the most advanced electrical components, which is of great help to improve the performance of the naval sonar system and can be provided to the Navy for use. However, the components are too expensive and are still in a laboratory state and are not suitable for large-scale deployment."

Lin Jiyun said anxiously: "We don't need large-scale deployments, just build a small batch of advanced sonar detectors first."

Li Weiguo understood Lin Jiyun's meaning, and also knew what Xu Shou said was too expensive. Anything that was in a laboratory state within the Imperial Academy of Sciences was priceless and expensive goods, without exception.

After sending Lin Jiyun away, Li Weiguo asked Mingyue what was going on.

It turned out that Tesla wanted to know what the structure inside the giants in Mount Li was, such as where the exposed closed pipes eventually led, so it invented a powerful detection equipment to penetrate the outer wall of the pipe and detect its internal channels.

Unfortunately, it failed in the end. The mysterious metal actually blocked any detection. Even if the detector invented by Tesla could penetrate rocks hundreds of meters deep, it could not penetrate the mysterious metal.

"It's indeed something of a high-level civilization. It seems that some of my guesses may be correct."

Li Weiguo stood with his hands behind his back, not only did he not feel depressed, but he became even more excited.

I wish you all a happy Little New Year in advance!
