Chapter 208 Daxia: Stop pretending, I'm going to show my cards! I really have two aircraft carriers!
Pentagon, inside the Office of the Director of Global Security Affairs.
Kimi Andrew looked at the document marked as 'red' in his hand, and a strong doubt emerged between his brows: "A ship more than 300 meters long and more than 50 meters above the sea level."
"What kind of ship could this be?"
As soon as he said this, there was no need for the assistant next to him to answer. The two of them immediately came up with the most likely answer in their hearts.
aircraft carrier!
It is also a large aircraft carrier with a full load displacement that is very likely to exceed 80,000 tons.
But Kimi Andrew still couldn't figure out one thing: "But, is there any meaning in their covering up like this?"
If we use an idiom from Daxia to describe it, we can only use "covering one's ears and stealing a bell" to describe this cover-up method.
Do you really think that these Eagle Sauces are idiots at the village entrance?
The size of this cover alone is so huge that it can be seen clearly with an optical sensor satellite. Even if someone is dozens of kilometers away using a telephoto camera, they can still capture its general appearance. Even a blind person can tell that there must be something complicated going on.
"Sir." At this time, the assistant next to him asked doubtfully, "Is it possible that Da Xia is pretending to have a good hand? In fact, he has no cards at all?"
This English idiom comes from the Eagle Sauce poker game, which refers to a situation where one has very bad cards in hand but is able to show off a good hand.
If we use Daxia's idiom to interpret it, it would be the four words "bluffing".
Hear the words.
"NO, that's impossible."
Kimi Andrew shook his head and said seriously: "Daxia would never do such a thing, let alone use such means."
Not to mention that almost every plan announced by Daxia is not a joke to you.
Ten years ago, when we were extremely poor, we said that we would complete the three-step lunar exploration program within 20 years, namely, orbiting, landing and returning, thus officially starting Daxia's space exploration program.
Back then, no one thought that Daxia could accomplish this, and some even thought it was just bragging.
Japan even announced on the spot that it would land a man on the moon in 2010, India announced that it would land on Mars in 2020, and as for the United States, it has begun to look beyond the solar system.
One is more arrogant than the other, and one is more lies than the other.
As a result, ten years later, Japan has not even successfully launched a space rocket, and India's project has remained at the 'Create a New Folder' stage.
And Daxia actually succeeded in sending out the 'Lunar Exploration Satellite' and was moving towards the second stage of 'landing on the moon'.
If Daxia really needs to "bluff", it can just make a few PPTs like the Eagle Sauce and announce the next large-scale construction plan.
It is possible to simply declare that two or three aircraft carriers will be built within a few years, rather than actually building a huge cover on the port.
"What kind of ship is it?" Kimi Andrew clenched his fists. "A conventional-powered aircraft carrier? Or a nuclear-powered one?"
"Did Daxia make such a big leap in one step? They are unlikely to make such a risky decision."
All these thoughts kept surging in his mind.
It can be said that the sudden arrival of this huge warship completely disrupted the Eagle Sauce's layout in the Asia-Pacific region.
Even if it is a conventional-powered aircraft carrier, it will pose a great deterrent. After all, once Daxia has a dual-aircraft carrier battle formation, their maritime strength will be greatly enhanced.
You know, they are mainly responsible for the Seventh Fleet in the Asia-Pacific region, and they themselves have an aircraft carrier strike group consisting of the "USS George Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier."
The opposing forces on the sea are no longer sufficient to deal with this situation, and emergencies may even require the deployment of the Third Fleet's aircraft carriers deployed in other parts of the Pacific to provide support.
This is a scene that neither Kimi Andrew nor the entire American Eagles want to see.
Moreover, even if one wanted to break in by force, it would be impossible to do so.
Not to mention that the level of this project is too high, it seems to have emerged overnight. From project establishment, construction and research and development to the current construction of a scaffolding of this scale at the port, there was no news at all.
Even the identity information of the people working inside the scaffolding had been isolated in advance, and it was impossible to obtain relevant information through other means.
At the same time, in this situation it is not worth it for the Eagle Sauce to pay such a huge price. After all, Daxia has already taken the initiative to expose it, and destruction is already impossible to do.
The only thing they can do now is to wait patiently for the mystery to be finally revealed.
at the same time.
At noon, in an office building in Sichuan area.
A company with a sign that reads 'Honor Mobile Sichuan Branch' occupies three floors of office space in this building, with more than two hundred employees working here.
Zhang Wei is sitting at his workstation, conducting a preliminary compatibility test on the OS on the Honor phone.
In fact, it is not difficult. After all, the framework of the OS system is already very good. They just continue to deepen the customization to highlight the differences from Xiaomi or other manufacturers, but the underlying logic is still the OS system.
“Finally, we have finished testing the first function.”
Zhang Wei wiped the sweat from his face and let out a long sigh.
Although the office was well air-conditioned, he still felt very nervous. After all, this was the first project he took over at work.
If he fails, Zhang Wei will probably resign at the end of the probation period. He doesn't want to let this job with a base salary of 5,000 or 6,000 slip away.
At this moment.
"Wei Ge." A young man who was one or two years younger than him patted his shoulder and said jokingly, "Have you finished debugging too?"
"Yeah." Zhang Wei nodded.
This is an employee who joined the company at the same time as him, and even their assigned tasks are similar, which is to adjust and test the compatibility between the 'mobile phone and the system'.
Over the past few days, the two have become good friends and colleagues.
"Have you heard?" The man raised his eyebrows, thinking of something: "Xiaomi's pre-sale and sales figures have exceeded five million units."
"Five million units so soon?" Zhang Wei looked a little surprised: "They will officially release it on September 9.28th, right? It's only been less than half a month now."
No wonder the company has been urging them to complete the debugging and compatibility issues of the mobile phones as soon as possible. The sooner they finish, the richer the bonus will be.
After all, this is five million mobile phones sold in just half a month. What an exaggerated number!
Even if we calculate it based on the lowest amount of 1999, this is a full billion in sales. With just half a month's sales, it was able to squeeze into the top private enterprises in Daxia last year.
But in fact, many people will buy the version with the highest configuration, and the average price per unit should be 2999. That means sales of billion. At this sales rate, breaking billion for the whole year is not a distant dream, but an almost achievable plan.
Moreover, the prices of the configurations purchased by Xiaomi are very transparent. At this price, there can be roughly 5-8% sales profit. The billion sales means at least billion in profits.
If you make 1 billion in half a month, wouldn’t the net profit be over 10 billion in a year?
This does not include the fact that if consumers make purchases on the OS application platform, the application developer will receive 70% of the share, the OS official will receive 10%, and the remaining 20% will be given to the platform that sells the mobile phone.
It can even be said that even if the hardware is at a loss, as long as there are tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of users, the profit share from the application market alone will be a very considerable and huge figure.
In the past, Daxia could make low-end phones, copycat phones, and PHS phones that cost one or two hundred yuan, and it could also work hard to sell one or two million units, but the sales they earned were only a few billion yuan.
Sales volume calculated in hundreds of billions is actually something that a large mobile phone manufacturer can achieve?
And this vast pure land doesn't have much competition. How could this not drive all the related companies in Daxia crazy?
"It seems we need to work harder!" Zhang Wei let out a long sigh.
Honor is also preparing to officially launch its first mobile phone in November to test the waters.
As for the parent company Huawei, it held a new phone launch conference at the end of the month.
The entire Daxia mobile phone market will usher in an unprecedented storm, and even various APP development companies have ushered in a bonus period. As long as they are the first to release games and products to the OS system application store, each new application will receive different official support.
At the same time, the better and more popular applications are, the more they will receive free large-scale promotion from the official OS, giving every application a chance to stand out.
Noon time.
During the break, Zhang Wei was eating the loving lunch box his wife prepared for him.
After all, every penny saved is a penny earned. If you have to call the fast food restaurant downstairs and ask them to deliver the food to your door, that would be quite troublesome.
His wife Weiwei is a good cook and she takes the trouble to put the rice on top, so every time he eats, he needs to dig it open to see what dish is hidden inside.
Today, Weiwei made spicy chicken, which is one of his favorite home-cooked dishes.
While eating this delicious lunch, Zhang Wei secretly sighed in his heart: "It seems that I must never offend my wife in the future."
If I quarrel with Weiwei, maybe next time what's hidden underneath will be white rice and white rice.
Thinking of this question, Zhang Wei muttered: "It would be great if there was an app that could order food and deliver it to your door at any time."
In the past, it was still difficult to develop various software for feature phones, and most of them were still done on PCs.
However, considering the convenience of the OS system and the popularity of smartphones, it is entirely possible to have a software that focuses on ordering and delivering food, and charge a fee for providing this service.
Users do not need to open their computers to place orders. Instead, they can use their smartphones, open the software and place orders in real time anytime and anywhere.
"That's a good idea," Zhang Wei touched his chin.
Although the opposite is very nice and even feasible, it has no effect.
Although he thinks that this project will truly change the society once it is realized, after all, among the major necessities of life, food is obviously indispensable.
However, Zhang Wei firstly had no entrepreneurial experience, secondly, no connections or capital, and thirdly, he didn’t even know any rich people.
He has a wife and children at home who need to feed him. Does he have to sell his house and start a business?
This idea is too irrational and is extremely irresponsible to his family. He would rather be poor than gamble with the happiness of his wife and children.
At this time, Zhang Wei turned on his Xiaomi 1 with great interest and looked at a message that was being discussed in the group chat.
He frowned: "An unknown building??"
"The second aircraft carrier?" Zhang Wei's face was suddenly full of confusion. He just didn't have time to go online these two days, so why did the outside world become like this?
When did Daxia build its second aircraft carrier? How could he, such a senior military fan, not even know the news?
What’s more important is the size and scale of it. Wow, what kind of big thing did our Great Xia have?
Just when Zhang Wei and other military fans were feeling extremely confused, a huge discussion broke out on the entire Internet.
It seems that Daxia has no intention of covering up this "secret" event, and has no intention of stopping anyone from discussing it.
After all, Zhang Yuli and others are very clear that the more you cover up your flaws, the more flaws you will reveal. On the contrary, the more open and aboveboard you are, the less likely it is to arouse people's speculations.
On the contrary, they even intend to add fuel to the fire.
Even though this 'Wasp-class amphibious assault ship' has not yet been officially transformed, under the guidance of the higher-ups, the Southern Fleet officials were the first to release a picture on the Internet.
This is obviously a CG composite concept map.
One is an aircraft carrier battle group arranged in a line, and the leading one is an aircraft carrier that looks very similar to the "Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier".
This photo instantly became a hot topic on the entire Internet.
Whether in military fan forums or in major chat groups, all kinds of exciting discussions can be heard everywhere.
"Fuck! What does this picture released by the Southern Fleet mean? Do we really have an aircraft carrier?"
"Is this a direct competitor to the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier?"
"If you don't look at the ships next to it, its size is more similar to the Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carrier."
"I thought the Varyag was the ultimate weapon, but now you tell me this is the real 'big move'?"
However, compared with the size of the aircraft carrier next to it, it is obviously more like a conventional-powered scaled-down version of the Nimitz-class such as the Kitty Hawk class.
But the 'Kitty Hawk class' is enough!
A large conventional-powered aircraft carrier with a displacement of 80,000 tons is the strongest combat force after the "Nimitz".
Everyone seemed to hear Daxia saying something.
"I'm not pretending anymore. I'm telling you I really do have two aircraft carriers!"
Daxia has made its cards clear. It is currently building two aircraft carriers at the same time, and each one is bigger than the other.
This ship is of the Kitty Hawk class size, so the next one might be nuclear-powered, and the one after that might even be equipped with electromagnetic catapults.
This is also very possible.
However, many military fans racked their brains but still couldn't figure out how Daxia suddenly built an aircraft carrier? ?
Which shipyard did a good job? Stand out and let them praise it.
Before the noise subsided, more than ten minutes later, the Southern Fleet released another CG picture, which once again stunned everyone.
This latest released picture is also a CG picture, and it also shows a fleet battle group lined up in a row.
The only difference was that the leading ship was replaced by a large ship with a flat deck and more than ten helicopters on the deck.
There is no need to think too much. Even military fans with some military knowledge can know that this is a ship called an "amphibious assault ship."
At the same time, the design of Daxia's "new ship" is largely based on the world's most advanced "Wasp-class" amphibious assault ship.
After seeing this scene, not to mention the military fans of Daxia, even the Eagle Sauce Pentagon was full of question marks.
They seemed to hear a voice coming from Daxia.
"Guess which one I built?"
"Is it this aircraft carrier similar to the 'Kitty Hawk' class? Or is it this amphibious assault ship similar to the 'Wasp' class?"
In this regard.
Kimi Andrew, the director of global security affairs, yelled, "I'm just a kid, and I'm still guessing!"
