Several hours later, Chen Chen received replies from various families one after another.
Sigma01 Simon Peter: [Dear Mr. Judas, although I don't know what you're up to, according to the Wassenaar Treaty, it's not easy for your company to obtain German products on the surface. It's even easier for other countries. What do you think of the products from Switzerland and Italy?]
Sigma08 Philip: [This requires certain means. Are you only willing to fork out 1000 information credits, or is 1000 information credits only the reward for the mission? After all, please understand that if we help you this time, our family will also have to bear the same risk.]
Sigma10 Matthew: [If Mr. Judas is willing to fork out 3000 information credits, there are two engine companies under my family that can provide the machine tools for you.]
Sigma06 Bartholomew: [Come on, you idiot from the Wilson family. Your arrogant face is disgusting. Aren't the engine companies you're talking about those two companies that are as old as the yogurt your neighbor Auntie Mary makes? Sorry, they're long out of date.]
Sigma10 Matthew: [Pig of the Foster family, I don't know which member of the Foster family you are behind the computer, but I hope I can use my identity as your bastard father to teach you a lesson and teach you some manners. If you continue with this attitude, I don't mind visiting your house and kicking that fat ass of yours with my pointy leather shoes!]
Sigma06 Bartholomew: [Come on, you son of a b * tch!]
[System prompt: Due to excessive language, sigma06 has been muted by the system for 10 minutes. Please watch your words and actions.]
...
In the end, after private conversations, a total of three financial groups responded to Chen Chen's reward.
They were the Rogelides and Alexander families of Northern America, as well as the Foster family of Europe.
Among them, the Rogelides family took two, the Alexander family took two, and the Foster family took one.
These families had their own businesses in Germany, so it was not difficult for them to obtain such equipment. After all, they represented the European allies and Northern America, not the Central Continent on the other side of the world, the public enemy of the West.
If it were the Mainland, it would be extremely difficult to purchase these equipment. However, since they were both from the West, it was very easy for these consortia to purchase these ultra-precision instruments.
Even so, the three consortiums still insisted that Chen Chen must not resell these machine tools to the Mainland. Otherwise, if the matter was exposed, not only would Blacklight Biotechnology be subject to economic sanctions by North America, but the three consortiums would also be subject to corresponding trials.
It wasn't like there weren't any examples of this.
In the 1970s, when the Earth Federation was not yet called the Earth Federation, it was called the United Nations. At that time, the world was polarized, forming an antagonistic situation between the Soviet Union and the United States.
During the long Cold War, a trade agency controlled by the United States called the "Paris Coordinating Committee" was established. Its main purpose was to impose embargoes and trade restrictions on the Soviet Union and other countries.
At that time, the Soviet spies obtained information from the United States that the noise of their submarine was very loud. The US Navy could detect it from 200 nautical miles away. If they could not eliminate the noise of the submarine, the existence of the Soviet submarine would be meaningless in a possible war in the future.
However, to eliminate the noise of the submarine, it was necessary to manufacture more sophisticated propellers, and this kind of propeller could only be manufactured with high-precision machine tools.
However, because of the restrictions of the "Paris Coordinating Committee", advanced Western machine tools would not be sold to the Soviet Union at all, so the Soviet Union decided to find another way to obtain high-precision machining technology.
In the end, the Soviet Union and a company in the East China Sea secretly contacted each other.
Under the temptation of huge commercial benefits, the company called Toshiba agreed to provide the Soviet Union with four "nine-axis propeller milling machines". In order to cover up, the Soviet Union did not order the supporting computer control system, but asked the Norwegian company Kongsborg to provide four low-end numerical control devices.
This low-end numerical control device was not restricted by the "Paris Coordinating Committee", but as long as the wiring and circuit were changed, it could be used as a numerical control device for the nine-axis machine tool.
Subsequently, Toshiba applied to the government for an export license and concealed the nine-axis machine tool. Instead, they said that this was a two-axis machine tool used to process the blades of hydroelectric generators, thus obtaining an export license.
These four machine tools successfully arrived in the Soviet Union and were quickly put to use. The noise of the new submarine manufactured by the Soviet Union was only equivalent to 10% of the original submarine, reaching the world's advanced level in one fell swoop.
However, this matter was eventually exposed. An employee resigned because of a dispute with Toshiba and exposed the matter to the "Paris Coordinating Committee".
Under pressure from the United States, the Japanese Metropolitan Police Department conducted a surprise inspection of Toshiba, seized all the relevant secret information, and arrested the people involved.
In the following months, the United States government and the public were outraged, repeatedly condemning Japan and imposing sanctions on Toshiba.
At that time, the Japanese Prime Minister had to apologize to the United States and also spent hundreds of millions of yen to publish a full-page "letter of repentance" in more than 50 newspapers in the United States.
Later, with the establishment of the Earth Federation, Batumi officially announced its dissolution.
However, the list of prohibited items formulated by it was later inherited by the Wassenaar Accord of the Earth Federation and continued to this day...
The transportation method used by the three consortiums was similar to Toshiba's original method. It was to separately transport the CNC and machine tools to Namibia. After more than half a month, a total of five ultra-high precision machine tools fell into Chen Chen's hands.
Naturally, Chen Chen bought them at a premium. The price of a machine tool was close to 100 million USD. In addition, he had to pay these consortiums a reward of 1000 information points for each machine tool.
As for the engineering talents, it was much simpler. As long as he used the Eco Science City's priority treatment as a bargaining chip, he immediately attracted several top mechanical engineers over sixty years old to join.
As for those who were not old enough and did not have a pressing need for the Eco Science City, Chen Chen had other bargaining chips.
For example, a recording of the T-800 and an invitation to Namibia.
This was also the first time Chen Chen's clone army went on a mission. Just like what Chen Chen had done before, these clone soldiers would carry a memory eraser. If these mechanical engineers still chose to refuse after watching the T-800, these clone soldiers would use the eraser to erase their memories.
If they expressed a strong interest after watching the T-800 video and went to Namibia, of course, everyone would be happy.
Just like that, in less than ten days, Blacklight Biotechnology had gathered a group of top-level mechanical engineers.
At the same time, Chen Chen also acquired the materials laboratory near Windhoek, the capital of Namibia. He moved all the equipment in the laboratory to the research center and specially built a factory for reverse engineering.
With these people and equipment, Chen Chen could finally carry out reverse engineering research on props such as the GS Combat Suit and T-800 Terminator.
