Chapter 220: Daxia’s gift, a super big move, a sudden space launch?
After waiting for a while, there was still no news from the mailbox an hour later.
After confirming that the connection with the Great Wall Watch organization had been disconnected, the few of them slowly walked back from here.
There was no rush or anxiety at all as when I came here.
A moment later, in the dean's office.
Zheng Lixing sat down on his office chair and poured himself a cup of freshly boiled tea: "Lao Zhang, what do you think of the 'Expo'?"
He continued with the previous topic: what should be done about this International Arms Expo held by Daxia?
What kind of "weapons" should Daxia bring to participate in the event to make it more appropriate? It can also make a lot of money.
This seemingly casual mention immediately ignited the heated atmosphere in the entire office again.
"I really should make a good choice." Zhang Yuli kept tapping his fingers on the table, his mind working quickly: "I should take advantage of this opportunity to make a good profit."
"Whether or not we can earn back the $30 billion 'reward' depends on this critical moment."
Daxia is naturally not short of the 30 billion US dollars in "rewards". Whether the "Great Wall Watch" organization needs pounds, euros, US dollars, gold or any other equivalents, Daxia can basically gather them together at any time and deliver them to the "Great Wall Watch" organization.
However, who wouldn't be willing to do something that could make more money? And Daxia was not rich enough to ignore such a huge amount of money.
Hear this.
"However, we don't have much technology that we can show off." Liu Zhixue next to him said, "The weapons that we can show off are not suitable for this kind of place, and the things that we can't show off can't be sold."
It’s not that Daxia’s technology is too backward, but it’s too damn advanced to be displayed, let alone sold for foreign trade.
From the Seawolf-class attack submarine to the Wasp-class amphibious assault ship, can these things be exported? The key is that few countries in the world can afford such things.
Even fifth-generation aircraft are not something that ordinary countries can handle. As for "hypersonic" missiles, such powerful weapons cannot be traded abroad.
If it is really necessary, Daxia would rather let it pick up a complete set of technical instructions and manufacturing drawings in the desert to allow this country or force to obtain "hypersonic" weapons, rather than sell them in front of the whole world.
Da Xia's wings are not yet fully grown, so it cannot do things that attract hatred.
read this.
"Can we make an export version of our '99A Main Battle Tank'?" Zheng Lixing suddenly asked.
The export of main battle tanks is a common thing. In the past, the most frequently sold main battle tanks by Daxia were the Type 85-II and other main battle tanks, but now they are outdated and completely uncompetitive in the market.
If the latest generation of 99A can be modified for foreign trade, it will not only successfully spread the research and development costs, but also bring in a considerable amount of revenue.
As long as he could produce an "export trade version", he thought it would sell very well.
"We'll have to ask the Military Industry Committee about this." Zhang Yuli frowned, took the tea handed to him by Liu Zhixue and took a sip: "I'm not sure whether it can be changed or how to change it."
Regarding the research, development and deployment of the Type 99A main battle tank, since this does not involve the "Great Wall Watch" organization, it is not the responsibility of their "Supreme Special Secret Group".
Only the "Military Industry Commission" in charge of this project can finally determine whether a version suitable for foreign trade can be created.
However, he felt that this was not a big problem. So what if it was a third-generation main battle tank?
Not to mention the latest 99A developed by Daxia, the Eagle Sauce even sold the Army's "M1A2 Main Battle Tank" for military trade. This kind of equipment will not pose too much threat, and it is not a strategic bomber.
Think of this.
Zhang Yuli proposed another idea: "Old Monster Zheng, do you think that our 'long-range unmanned bomber' can also be exported?"
"'Unmanned bomber?'" Zheng Lixing frowned, a little worried: "Its performance is good, of course, and there will be no problem with sales, but the problem is..."
Are unmanned bombers suitable for foreign trade? Of course they are.
Just look at the fact that when Persia and Saudi Arabia saw this thing for the first time, they were like crazy. This is enough to show how important it is in the hearts of some medium-sized countries and even regional powers.
But the key issue here is that the "long-range unmanned bomber" developed by the 732 Military Factory is not like the main battle tank and does not pose much threat.
It would be dangerous to openly trade this "cheap" unmanned bomber with a range of more than 5,000 kilometers and a payload of two to three tons.
Not only will it easily touch the sensitive nerves of the United States and Russia, it will also increase the geopolitical risks of many countries, thus affecting Daxia's strategic layout.
"I know." Zhang Yuli waved his hand and then explained his idea: "What I mean is to further reduce the performance of this 'unmanned bomber'."
"The range will be changed to 2,000 kilometers or even 1,000 kilometers, and the payload will be reduced accordingly to meet the requirements."
"Moreover, due to the reduction in performance in all aspects, the cost can also be greatly reduced."
Five thousand kilometers is reduced to two thousand kilometers or even one thousand kilometers, mainly for medium and short-range bombing range, castrating its long-range strike capability and making the price more "good value for money".
"That's a good idea." Zheng Lixing nodded in agreement.
This is enough for 'customers' to use and even perfectly hits their pain points.
After all, in most parts of the world, where do they need any ultra-long-range bombing targets? More demand is for tactical strike targets within one or two thousand kilometers.
At this moment, he suddenly slapped his head and remembered something: "Oh, by the way, Old Man Song has a plan based on the experience of fighter jets such as F22, J-20 and F-35."
"The J-10 basic framework is used as a platform to transform a more advanced integrated fighter, which can also be used as the main 'weapon equipment' for foreign sales."
The power of this fighter is inferior to that of the conventional fifth-generation aircraft with extreme "stealth" and supercruise maneuverability, but it is much better than the "Rafale" or "Su-35".
It can also be called the first fighter jet below the conventional fifth-generation aircraft.
As an integrated fighter, it can be used by the three armed forces of navy, army and air force. Song Qinyi has even begun to prepare to enable it to have the ability of "vertical take-off and landing".
With the relevant technology of F-35B, this is not difficult to achieve.
Zhang Yuli narrowed his eyes slightly: "This is very feasible, I think we can give it a try."
This fully improved 'J-10' fighter will be an all-rounder among all-round fighters and can easily cope with almost any situation.
This is the most popular option in the international fighter aircraft trade market.
The Rafale fighter jet, which is similar to it, only costs tens of millions of euros for the bare machine, but the entire aircraft will cost more than 200 million euros to equip it.
The fourth-generation "Zenith Star" aircraft launched by Daxia is the strongest fighter after the F35 and J-22 at a time when the entire F20 series has not yet been produced and put into service.
It can even adapt perfectly to both the Air Force and the Navy, and the Rafale fighter has almost no comparison with it.
As long as the sales channels can be opened up, tens of billions of funds will be brought into Daxia every year.
Global arms trade is such a big piece of fat meat, Daxia must tear off a piece of it no matter what.
Just when several people were discussing very heatedly.
Suddenly.
A series of rings suddenly rang in the office. Liu Zhixue, who was closest to the phone, ran over and picked up the receiver. After listening for a few seconds, he looked at Zhang Yuli and said, "Mr. Zhang, it's a call from Jiuquan."
"Hmm?" Zhang Yuli's face suddenly turned serious, as if he remembered something in his mind: "Let me take it."
After a while.
After hanging up the phone, a strong smile broke out on his lips, which he couldn't hide.
"What's so happy about it?"
Zheng Lixing couldn't help but speak, his eyes full of anxiety: "Is there good news from Jiuquan?"
He was also slightly excited at this moment.
Jiuquan, the space launch base of Daxia, what other good news could there be from them?
This has taken more than a month to prepare. Is it finally done now?
Immediately.
"That's right." Zhang Yuli nodded and said solemnly: "The spacecraft has been fully inspected and can be operated at any time."
"It has been confirmed that the launch will be on time on the 28th."
"Okay, okay!" Zheng Lixing's face flushed, and he could only utter three "okay" words. His inner excitement reached the point of "no return".
This is naturally not just because of the news that Daxia's spacecraft is going to be "launched into space", and even this kind of news is nothing to be particularly excited about.
After all, as early as 03, Daxia had already achieved manned space flight, and two years ago it had successfully accomplished the great feat of 'sending a probe around the moon'.
What's so strange about an ordinary spacecraft taking off?
The reason why he was so 'out of control' was because of another thing.
"Just now I was worrying about how to return the gift to the Great Wall Watch organization." President Zheng Lixing exhaled and said quietly, "As long as we can launch on time, I will be relieved."
This is the gift that Daxia specially prepared for the 'Great Wall Watch' organization, an unprecedented gift.
A true gift from heaven and earth.
It is this spacecraft that flies into deep space, announcing to the world and even the entire solar system the deep friendship between the two sides.
Time passes like sand in the wind, and a new week has arrived.
Time is slowly approaching the day of the 28th.
At this moment, October 10th, it is Monday.
In Livermore, it was a little after nine in the morning, the temperature had dropped below 20 degrees, and the autumn wind was still a bit bleak.
Inside the main building of the LLNL laboratory, Lu Ze was lying on the sofa in a daze, feeling a headache.
'What should I copy extra this time? ' he muttered to himself.
The borrowing rights, which are refreshed every week, are really hard to get started with.
If you don't use it, it will be a pity. If you use it, how easy will it be to find suitable replica items every week?
"Aren't there new arrivals at the maintenance center?"
"I heard from the staff there that another F22 is coming in for maintenance?" Lu Ze's eyes lit up when he thought of this.
It’s decided that it’s you, F22 fighter!
It would not be a loss to copy a few extra F22 fighter jets. The more he copied, the fewer achievement points he would need to pay.
Maybe when he returns to China in the future, he will be able to bring two or three squadrons of F22 fighter jets directly to Daxia.
At this time.
"Lu Ze, I'm hungry!" Lucy hugged Lu Ze's arm like a sloth: "What are we having for lunch today?"
Ever since Lu Ze started cooking at home, she no longer had any interest in the so-called "French food" or "Indian food" in restaurants outside.
She even began to feel that the food in the authentic Chinese restaurants in Chinatown was not even one-third as delicious as Lu Ze's. Lucy's taste buds were no longer able to do without his cooking.
however.
Lu Ze curled his lips. Lucy had been clamoring for "delicious food" every day recently, and he was almost becoming a househusband.
Suddenly, he felt like teasing her: "Today I will make you a classic dish of 'Hangzhou cuisine'."
"Classic dish?" Lucy started drooling when she heard the term.
"Yes, it's called 'West Lake Vinegar Fish'." Lu Ze's eyes flashed with cunningness, tempting like a devil: "A dish from the shores of West Lake, with a fusion of many flavors."
"Okay, okay, that's it." Lucy nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
She knew the West Lake, a famous scenic spot in the south of the Yangtze River. How could a dish with such a scenic spot as a prefix not be delicious?
"As long as you like it." Lu Ze rubbed her head.
Although this dish cannot be called a dark dish, people who don’t like it will definitely not be able to accept the taste.
Suddenly, while Lucy was still immersed in her fantasy of delicious food.
An email popped up on the screen of Lu Ze's eyes.
[We, Daxia, will send a special gift to your organization at 10.28:8 a.m. on October th, Yanjing time.]
【At that time, you can follow the news through any channel. 】
【.】
"Is the surprise from Daxia ready now?" Lu Ze was shocked.
What does "going up to the sky and down to the earth" correspond to? How does it demonstrate the surprise of this "return gift"?
At this moment.
Military fans and space enthusiasts around the world have also quietly discovered an unusual "charm" and a strange behavior.
That is Daxia, which had already announced all its space launch targets for this year at the beginning of the year.
It was unexpectedly announced today that a special space rocket will be launched on the 28th.
There is nothing strange about the temporary launch of space rockets due to various reasons. It might be that a communication satellite is broken.
But what is puzzling is that the reason for the launch is clearly written on the official website.
[Reason for launch: unknown.]
Question marks popped up in everyone's mind. What big thing was going to happen?
