Chapter 213 Copying Osprey, superb project establishment! Daxia’s ships are about to reveal their true identity!
Kyiv, in a local high-end western restaurant.
The puppet asked this sentence very seriously: "I don't know, when can we visit?"
After all, there are not many treasures that Ermao can have. Apart from these, there is nothing else. The Tu-160 White Swan can be regarded as one of the only treasures that Lu Ze likes.
The rest of the weapons and equipment were really lagging behind, and Er Mao, who was deceived and lame, even took the initiative to castrate and abolish his own equipment. There were even fewer top-notch weapons that could survive.
However.
When he heard this sentence, Clough didn't pay much attention to it. He just carefully kept the contract he had just signed.
It is just a small request for the financial owner, and this ‘financial owner’ may even purchase more arms and equipment in the future so that he can make more money, so this request is naturally not a problem.
Want to visit the Tu-160 strategic bomber? Can it be considered a big deal?
If they didn't have nuclear bombs in their arsenal, Clough wouldn't even mind taking her to see this 'big treasure'.
"This. When the weapons are ready, I will take you to visit." He agreed directly: "Currently, the defense department needs a few days to help you collect the equipment you need."
If it were Yingjiang, you bought a $100 million weapon and wanted to see the B-2 bomber. Maybe Yingjiang wouldn't pay attention to you. Why do you still want to ask for such a small amount of money? What about dreaming?
If it were Lao Maozi, I'm afraid I would have to have a good stalemate with you for a while before he agreed to the matter in an "embarrassed" manner. After all, Lao Maozi's broken ship still has three kilograms of nails, so he wouldn't be so "bowing down" for 100 million US dollars. .
But now, what Lu Ze is facing is Er Mao. Now in 2009, he was almost broke and bought 100 million US dollars of arms and weapons. Let’s see what happened?
Although Ermao acquired 19 Tu-160s, only one remains and is still in the museum.
If the current top priority was not to complete this order, he could even take this young lady named 'Eva' to visit the strategic bomber that would be rusty even if it was parked tomorrow.
Hear the words.
"Then I look forward to good news from you." The puppet picked up the wine glass and smiled lightly, clinked the glasses and took a sip, then said: "If the cooperation is good, we will purchase more weapons in the next step."
< br>
"More weapons? How many do you want to buy?" Clough's eyes lit up, which meant that more small money was going to enter his pocket.
This kind of extra money, which comes quickly and has few things to do, can be said to be the best money he has ever made in his life.
"It all depends on your speed." The puppet nodded, smiled and said: "If it can satisfy us, even a number with a zero added after the purchase amount will be enough. Not a problem.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Clough's slightly narrowed eyes suddenly widened, as if he was shocked by these words.
Adding a zero after the number? Isn't that a super arms order worth nearly one billion US dollars?
"You will definitely be satisfied." He stood up immediately and said with a serious expression on his face: "I can congratulate you now and we will have a happy cooperation next time."
The moment the pie was drawn, Clough felt that his whole body was full of motivation.
This is a super order worth one billion US dollars. What an exaggerated figure.
Perhaps in the eyes of big countries such as Daxia and Yingjiang, this amount is not that much, especially since Yingjiang's annual arms trade is calculated in hundreds of billions of dollars.
But you must know that their total foreign trade import and export volume is expected to be only 80 billion U.S. dollars this year, and this one billion U.S. dollar order can account for 1/80.
Normally, when sellers hold clearance sales at the end of the year, it would be good to be able to sell arms and equipment worth US$5.6 billion. They even have to be picked on by buyers from all sides, and prices are lowered. How can this international arms purchaser be like this? Is Shang so easy to talk to?
Of course, the more critical point is that Clough can get 1% of the total order amount, which is a full 10 million US dollars. Even if part of the oil and water needs to be allocated, he can still get it. Millions of dollars in profit.
He has never encountered such a profitable business in the twenty years he has been the head of the Antonov Design Bureau. Now that he has encountered it, how can he let it go.
at this time.
On the other side of the ocean, in the small town of Livermore, inside the LLNL laboratory.
After seeing the doll return to the hotel, he was ready to wait for the next step.
Lu Ze broke away from the perspective directly in the light screen, took a look at the surrounding environment, and quickly locked in on the main purpose of coming here.
‘Finally found this thing. ' He thought to himself.
He was in the maintenance center storage warehouse of the LLNL laboratory, staring at a behemoth in front of him.
The iconic large propeller design that tilts left and right looks like two large antennas hanging on it. It looks like a completely weird-looking helicopter.
Some military enthusiasts can immediately recognize what kind of helicopter this is.
V22 Osprey helicopter.
"This helicopter is more suitable for use in the current Daxia." Lu Ze touched his chin and began to think about it in his heart.
The performance of this thing is ahead of the Chinook helicopter in all aspects. After all, Yingjiang's original plan was to use this type of helicopter to replace the Chinook.
Both are also heavy-lift helicopters in the 20-ton class and are comparable in terms of technical specifications.
‘Although Chinooks are good, there is one issue I overlooked before. ’
Lu Ze has always wanted to copy a Chinook helicopter, mainly because he felt that it was "cheap and practical", and neither the production cost nor the maintenance cost were high.
And what Daxia needs most is this kind of 'heavy transport helicopter', isn't it?
But now when he saw the 'V22 Osprey', an important question suddenly came to his mind.
That is, Daxia is more in urgent need of helicopters like the Osprey that can meet various high-standard requirements for ships and land, rather than single-category heavy transport aircraft like the Chinook.
Even the Daxia Army's current demand for more helicopters can be met by ten- to fifteen-ton general transport helicopters.
There is no need to use this 20-ton dual-rotor helicopter as a substitute. The 10-15-ton medium-sized single rotor is simpler and safer in terms of price and maintenance.
Or directly require a super-heavy helicopter transport aircraft of more than thirty to forty tons, instead of being stuck in an awkward position of twenty tons.
on the contrary.
The V22 Osprey, a high-speed tilt-rotor aircraft, although it has higher technical requirements, higher manufacturing unit price, and higher maintenance costs, does not seem to be as useful as the Chinook.
However, whether it is the navy, army, or air force, its demand is not low, and it can even meet all aspects of transformation needs. It can easily handle all kinds of dirty work, even if it is temporarily used as an armed attack aircraft, it is not a problem. This is Chinook' has characteristics that a single transport aircraft such as this cannot possess.
"And the future development path of heavy helicopters may be more suitable to be replaced by unmanned transport aircraft."
Lu Ze thought about the development of drones in future generations, and he kept thinking in his heart.
At worst, when I encounter a Chinook later, I can also use the 'borrow' permission to make additional copies, so there's nothing to hesitate about.
Think of this.
Lu Ze put his hand directly next to its casing and muttered silently, 'Use the 'borrow' permission. ’
【bite! The borrowed permission was used successfully. 】
[V22 ‘Osprey’ helicopter, value achievement points: 13,000 points. 】
[Do you want to consume: 13,000 achievement points and use the ‘borrow’ permission? "Yes." Lu Ze confirmed decisively.
There are not many achievement points required. The achievement points consumed by a V22 Osprey are in the same category as top industrial equipment.
As for the regular number of copies, Lu Ze plans to save up. Currently, there are no high-end technological items worthy of his copying, let alone anything that can use 'multiply copy'.
Anyway, the number of regular copies can be accumulated, so there is no rush.
【bite! Congratulations to the host for obtaining: 13,000 achievement points and the following rewards. 】
[The actual V22 Osprey helicopter (has been sent to the inventory), and the technical design drawings of all V22 Osprey models. (Including CV-22A, MV-22B, etc.). 】
When Lu Ze was busy copying.
Daxia on the other side, at this moment.
Two old people were sitting in an academician's office at the Daxia Aerospace Science and Industry Rocket Research Institute.
However, the current scene is very strange. An old man is holding a document like a dumbfounded sculpture, completely motionless.
On the desk next to him, another old man was drinking tea happily and said jokingly: "What? Old Man Pei, who is not afraid of anything, are you scared too?"
After a while.
Pei Tian's eyes were still dull, and he looked at the document in his hand, and then at Zheng Lixing, who had an inquiring look on his face.
"Old Monster Zheng, are you kidding me?" He felt as if his heart was about to stop beating: "Do we have the full set of technology for this thing?"
How could I not be scared?
Is the kind of 'hypersonic missile' written on this TM document something that Daxia can currently develop?
"Yes, you heard it right." Zheng Lixing repeated again: "A full set of technologies, from theory to implementation process, material selection, etc., every step of the technology is included."
"This" Pei Tian sat down on the stool and slowly digested this unusually large amount of information.
Then, he read the document again with great care.
Before, he looked at this technical theory and demonstration process with a critical concept. After all, for a technology that has not been developed, all its parameters can only be regarded as an 'ideal number', and he cannot have too high expectations. Big expectations.
But it’s completely different when you know that this technology is real, which means that any data written above is achievable and can withstand verification.
Half an hour later, Pei Tian suddenly raised his head, with confusion and shock in his pupils: "The technology developed by your Xia Ke Academy?"
According to the description in the document, this is a third-generation hypersonic missile that uses a 'waverider' that can perform multiple orbit changes at the end.
"That's right." Zheng Lixing nodded.
"A missile with a terminal speed of Mach 10 to 20 can also change orbit in critical space"
"Xia Ke Academy can actually develop this kind of technology? Are you kidding me?" Pei Tian's voice was full of horror.
The maximum speed can exceed Mach 20, and it spends most of its time changing orbit within the critical space atmosphere. This is simply an uninterceptible missile. When it is launched, unless there is a mechanical failure, it will directly 'hit' the target. .
He had only heard of such an idea for this kind of missile technology, and even Daxia was already carrying out preliminary research and development work.
But no one in the world has developed it, and whether it can be realized is still unknown.
Now, when did Xia Ke Academy have this kind of technology? How could he not get any information about what happened?
"Don't worry about how I did it. If your Rocket Academy is not interested, I will ask the Second Academy and them."
Zheng Lixing sat up directly and pretended to leave immediately.
Seeing this, Pei Tian didn't bother to ask too many questions, and pulled him to sit down: "Why are you so anxious? Those guys in the second hospital know what'hypersonic' missiles, isn't it a waste of time to give them this technology? ”
"You are from our Rocket Academy, so you can't turn your elbows outward."
The Second Academy is the branch of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Industry.
Originally, both belonged to the Fifth Academy, but the Rocket Academy was the main body of the Fifth Academy, while the Second Academy was just a branch.
The two academies have been fighting for decades. How could they just watch this technology slip into the hands of others? If by then the guys from the Second Academy develop a 'waverider orbit-changing hypersonic missile'.
If that were the case, Pei Tian would probably be so jealous that he couldn't sleep for days and nights.
"You first prepare a planning document and make the plan." Zheng Lixing explained: "As for the technology, someone will send it to the Rocket Academy later."
At the moment, they must develop this kind of 'hypersonic missile' as quickly as possible.
After all, Daxia is facing more and more challenges, and the best defense is the ultimate offense.
This kind of 'hypersonic' weapon corresponds to the old saying of Daxia: In the world of martial arts, the only thing that cannot be broken is fast.
Just look at this martial arts that can reach Mach 20, how can you, Ying Jiang, withstand it?
In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.
Er Mao is still preparing the prelude to the arms deal.
At this time, nearly half a month had passed since we obtained the 'Wasp-class' amphibious assault ship.
The research and development of the 'hypersonic missile' project has also been officially approved and has entered an intense preparatory stage.
However, this project should be much faster than Zhang Yuli and others expected. After all, Daxia originally had certain research and development ideas for "hypersonic ballistic missiles", but now it has just accelerated the pace and completed it several years in advance.
At this moment, suddenly.
A phone call was made to Xia Ke Academy, which disturbed the two elders who took the opportunity to play chess leisurely.
"That guy called Lao Wang." Zheng Lixing glanced at the caller ID and answered the call.
time.
Over there, Wang Guanghai's overjoyed voice came: "Report!"
"Our Southern Fleet has completed the modification of the target's appearance and requests further instructions."
After hearing this, the two old men looked at each other, both seeing the joy in each other's eyes.
Apart from the ‘Wasp-class amphibious assault ship’, what other ships are currently being renovated by the Southern Fleet?
Zhang Yuli said "good" several times and issued an instruction directly: "Carry out the ship's sailing operation according to the previous plan."
The ship transformation is completed, doesn't this mean.
Daxia's 'big toy' can finally reveal its true identity to the eyes of the world.
