Chapter 84 Daxia is making a lot of money! Go to the Air Force Base and unlock the purple lottery!
The memorandum of cooperation for the order of 100,000 drones was quickly signed at this simple banquet.

A preliminary cooperation framework was reached after three rounds of drinks.

Ahmed Hassan glanced at the time on his watch and said with a smile, "It's getting late. I should go back to the consulate."

As the plenipotentiary ambassador of Persia, he could not stay outside until late at night without any reason, otherwise it would be easy to cause some unnecessary diplomatic disputes and troubles, and he would have no way to explain himself if he encountered danger.

This is essential common sense for all diplomats. On the territory of another country, the consulate is the only small territory belonging to one's own country. Moreover, he is the ambassador plenipotentiary and represents the face of Persia.

Hearing this, Zhang Yuli stopped chatting and said with a smile: "Mr. Ambassador, don't rush back. Our Director Li has something to discuss with you."

"Anything else?" A hint of confusion flashed across Ahmed Hassan's face.

"Mr. Ambassador, our 732 Military Factory has recently developed a new weapon. I believe you will be very interested in it." Li Yunshan's rough voice laughed like a gong: "If you leave now, you will miss it?"

"Oh? Good stuff!"

This aroused Ahmed Hassan's interest. After all, Persia had purchased various artillery developed and manufactured by the 732 Military Factory before, and they were all very good in both quality and power.

And after witnessing the powerful combat capabilities of this small drone, he became more interested in the equipment produced by the 732 Military Factory.

"Director Li, please tell us in detail. We in Persia are quite interested." He sat back in his seat and said seriously.

Seeing this, Li Yunshan put down his chopsticks and said bluntly: "This is the latest high-tech weapon equipment that our Great Xia is preparing to equip the army. It can be understood as an upgraded version of the drone you used before."

"And in the Gaza Strip, this kind of high-tech weapon could play an even greater role."

"What kind of equipment is that?" Ahmed Hassan's curiosity was aroused.

The latest high-tech equipment of the Daxia Army? An upgraded version of the drone? Can it exert greater power in Gaza? What kind of magical equipment is this?

Zhang Yuli and Zheng Lixing, who were standing by, watched the two people talking, both smiling and observing from the side, without taking the initiative to interrupt them.

Li Yunshan leaned close to his ear as if they were whispering to each other, afraid that others would hear him: "Mr. Ambassador, what do you think of the power of the reconnaissance drone we provided earlier?"

"It's great. In some cases, it's even much better than ordinary small drones." Ahmed Hassan nodded without hesitation.

This small reconnaissance drone is an expert at launching sneak attacks.

Since the noise it makes even when flying at low altitude is very small and cannot be detected without careful listening, it can quietly lurk near the enemy and then directly detonate the explosives carried by the reconnaissance drone.

Similarly, tasks such as obtaining intelligence are no problem for it. When the "Palestinian Resistance Organization members" encountered desperate situations several times, they successfully turned defeat into victory because the reconnaissance drone was able to obtain the enemy's specific deployment location.

If ordinary drones are brave and fearless warriors, then reconnaissance drones are all-round auxiliary devices, and they can actually do what ordinary drones can do.

So in Persia’s procurement list this time, reconnaissance drones actually accounted for 60% of the share, and the rest were ordinary drones.

"But the most regrettable thing is that the speed is too slow. It is unable to attack fast-moving targets." Ahmed Hassan sighed with some regret.

Although the flight speed of about 80KM is already very fast, it is often impossible to accurately hit high-speed moving objects, and the explosion location is always unsatisfactory.

"This drone is a brand new upgrade to address this shortcoming." Li Yunshan continued, "It has only one characteristic, which is speed. It wins by speed!"

"How fast? Other performance"

Before he could finish his words, Li Yunshan interrupted him and said, "It will make more noise, and its range will be shortened by about half. It will need to be operated manually the entire time. It cannot hover."

It seems that the shortcomings of this drone are countless.

However, facing Ahmed Hassan's extremely puzzled look, he immediately introduced: "But, its speed is 230 km/h, and it also supports various personalized customizations."

"This is the latest product of our 732 Military Factory, named 'Super High-Speed ​​First-Person Perspective Drone'."

"You can also call it a 'time travel machine'."

Simply put, this flying drone does not have the ability to carry too much weight, nor does it have any functions such as silencing or hovering. It only has one ability, which is to break through all obstacles with absolute speed.

However, after listening to the description of this seemingly "flawed" time-travel machine, the Persian ambassador's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Isn't this the weapon he has always dreamed of?
"We in Persia want this kind of flying drone too!" Ahmed Hassan held Li Yunshan's hands tightly and pleaded, "The initial order is 10,000 units. The sooner the delivery time, the better. How much does it cost per unit?"

At a speed of 230KM per hour, no matter how fast armored vehicles, tanks or other ground equipment move, they cannot escape its sniper range.

It's noisy, so it might be detected by the enemy?
At a speed of over 65 kilometers per hour, it is equivalent to flying more than meters per second. By the time you notice the noise, it is already too late.

"This type of drone also requires an additional helmet, so one set will cost you 3500 US dollars." Li Yunshan's face flashed with pain, and he seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Together with the previous drones, the total is million US dollars. As a long-term partner, Persia will give you a % discount. Just give million US dollars."

"Mr. Ambassador, this is the best price we can offer."

"Pleasant to work with."

Ahmed Hassan did not hesitate: "We will pay with oil, natural gas and other resources as usual, and the price will be based on the current international oil and gas prices."

After the cooperation was finalized, Ahmed Hassan took the embassy car and hurried back to the consulate. He still needed to report this matter to Persia. Only after the Supreme Leader approved it, the cooperation was officially reached.

Looking at the receding figure.

After a while.

Zheng Lixing looked at Li Yunshan who was happily drinking at the table and scolded him with a smile: "Old Li, you are really a profiteer."

"A regular drone for $2100, a quadcopter for $3500, you can tell the price."

He remembered that the cost of an ordinary drone was at most several hundred RMB, and a FPV drone, including the helmet, cost less than 3500 RMB. How could Li Yunshan actually sell it for RMB? And the unit was US dollars?

This is not a question of doubling, it is an order of magnitude increase.

Even Qin Shi Huang touching electric wires would not have caused him as much pain as Li Yunshan.

“R&D costs aren’t money, right?”

Li Yunshan said confidently, "If you want the Eagle to develop and manufacture this kind of drone, we can sell it to you for at least 10,000 US dollars. This is already a fair price."

Although the 732 Military Factory did not conduct research and development, the sale of this new type of equipment will itself spread a large amount of research and development costs.

Just like pharmaceuticals, the manufacturing cost of a special medicine may be a few cents, but after the R&D cost is spread out, the selling price may be tens or even hundreds of dollars. Otherwise, where does the cost of a single B-2 bomber of more than billion US dollars come from? It is not made of real gold.

"I won't continue eating and drinking with you. I have to hurry back to the military factory." After eating and drinking, Li Yunshan also left the banquet hall.

The 732 Military Factory not only received orders from Persia, but the army also had an urgent demand for cross-country aircraft, so he had to rush back to speed up production.

At this time, only Zhang Yuli and Zheng Lixing were left in the banquet hall.

"Old Zhang, do you think Persia's support for Palestine is sufficient?" Zheng Lixing lit a cigarette and asked leisurely.

"I'm afraid it's still difficult." Zhang Yuli shook his head.

Even if Persia fully supports the Palestinian resistance organizations, it can only buy them some living space in Gaza at most. It is impossible to launch a comprehensive counterattack.

"So Saudi Arabia must reconcile with Persia," Zhang Yuyuan muttered, "Only a comprehensive reconciliation in the Middle East can contain Israel."

“But one Palestinian region is not enough”

How could it be possible that just Gaza alone would leave the Eagle Sauce with no time to spare?
Which country in the Middle East does the Eagle Sauce not treat as a security war? Unless they attack in more places, the Eagle Sauce will have no way to start.

Zheng Lixing thought of something: "Are you talking about the Afghan area?"

"Yes, you and I are thinking of the same thing, Afghanistan."

Zhang Yuli nodded.

The Eagle Sauce is still fighting a security war in the Afghan battlefield. If Afghanistan can also stand up at the same time, the entire Middle East region will be in full swing and the Eagle Sauce will be paralyzed by the delay.

However, the only difficulty here is that it is not convenient for Dongfang to take action personally at the moment.

The situation in Afghanistan is not easy either. Not only is it a mortal enemy of Persia, but even Saudi Arabia, with which it used to be friendly, has severed all diplomatic relations under the order of the Eagle Sauce. It can be said that Afghanistan does not have a trustworthy ally either politically or militarily.

Although it is not an isolated city like Gaza, it has long been isolated from the world by the Eagle Sauce.

"It seems we have to think of a way to cause trouble for Eagle Sauce."

Time passes slowly.

It was just seven o'clock on Sunday morning.

In the LLNL staff dormitory, after getting up early in the morning.

"There are still four times left to unlock the purple lottery." Lu Ze looked at the number on the system screen, muttering to himself in a daze.

Including today's replication, three more replications will total 10 replications.

This means that after Lu Ze returns from Da Xia during the holiday, he will be able to successfully upgrade to the purple lottery.

'What changes will upgrading the purple lottery bring? Will it just open up higher-level lottery?'

He had a vague feeling that it wasn't that simple.

A higher level lottery naturally means more functions or permissions will be opened.

"Forget it, don't think about it. The most important thing now is to go pick up Lucy." Lu Ze shook off his thoughts.

Today is the day to visit the air force base.

(I went to the hospital for another checkup, it's a little late, the second update will probably be around 11 o'clock, sorry.)
(The first day of June, asking for monthly tickets! Two hundred monthly tickets plus more chapters, just a little bit away.)
