"Wait … wait a minute!"
Under the great pressure of being sent away, Martin was finally able to utter a syllable.
"Even … even if we can't do it, you can set up a branch factory in the UA and provide equipment and technical personnel for production."
"Why don't you let Lockheed set up a factory in Hua Xia to produce the F22 Raptor?" Ye Qing smiled mockingly.
Martin left.
When he left, his back was full of despair.
Even though Martin had studied plasma batteries in detail, he was deeply shocked by the technology inside. But this time, what Martin felt was not a blow, but a kind of hopeless decline that made him feel cold all over.
He had never felt this feeling before, but Martin had seen it in others.
He still remembered that more than ten years ago, he saw the same figure in the Hua Xia delegation he received in Silicon Valley. Back then, Martin didn't understand why these Chinese people looked so desperate after visiting the American high-tech industry. It was as if their wives had run away with another man.
Now that he felt it, he could understand this feeling more deeply.
…
At nine o 'clock in the evening, the Peregrine Falcon roared into the endless night.
Sitting on the sofa, Ye Qing looked out of the porthole in a trance. On the distant land below, the buildings turned into bright spots, and countless lights outlined the magnificent scene of the bustling sea.
Ye Qing recalled what Martin said to him before taking off. Although Martin's plan to build a branch factory in the UA was impossible to accept, Ye Qing was actually quite tempted by the plan to make the Thunderbolt car the standard of the new energy industry.
Setting industry standards meant a leap from a player to an administrator.
The Energy Service Center was fine, it was only for new energy vehicles. But once the car networking project was successful, Tesla would not be the only one tempted.
Now the concept of network cars, smart cars, was becoming more and more popular. Young consumers all hoped that their cars could be connected to the Internet, so that whether it was video and audio entertainment or real-time electronic navigation, it would be very convenient.
But basically, no car company was willing to launch a car with a wireless Internet function because the traffic charge for the Internet was very high. A movie could easily reach gigabytes of traffic, and the user couldn't afford it.
However, the car network plan could solve the problem perfectly.
It didn't need to borrow base stations provided by carriers, and it didn't need to compete with hundreds of millions of mobile phone users for the congested 4G frequency band. It was only for cars. In theory, the network speed was faster than 4G, and the cost was basically the same as the fixed cost of Internet access.
This was because the hardware cost of the communication transceiver module had already been added to the price of the car when it was manufactured.
If Monster Industries was willing to open its arms, no car manufacturer would be able to resist this temptation.
Unfortunately, even if they wanted to set standards, they could only do so in Hua Xia. It was impossible for Ye Qing to build a branch factory in the United States. That would only expose the monster workers. If they did not build branch factories, the United States and Europe would not be able to open up the market and allow Monster Industries to earn astronomical profits.
So tonight, Ye Qing once again rejected America's request for cooperation. Before they left, Martin said that the plasma battery had already affected their core interests. If they didn't agree to cooperate, it would be troublesome.
"Very troublesome?" Ye Qing looked out of the window and softly repeated these three words.
At 9: 20, the dimly lit city of Zhongyun appeared below the Peregrine Falcon. After the plane landed, Ye Qing was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, he first visited the hangar next to the Peregrine Falcon.
There were two IL-76 aircraft that belonged to him parked there.
Walking into the hangar, the original white body paint of the two aircraft had become the same matte black as the Peregrine Falcon. The huge tail, which was taller than a two-story building, was inlaid with two shining silver Monster Industries logos.
It was too big and too sci-fi.
Its entire body was black, and it was paired with a mysterious, sci-fi monster logo. The aircraft in front of him could be ranked first among the transport aircraft in terms of appearance.
Ye Qing admired the two heavy transport aircraft in front of him with admiration. Now, not only were they beautiful, but their hardware had also been reborn into the world's most peculiar transport aircraft.
The landing gear made of cemented carbide was 95% stronger than before. It could adapt to harsher runway takeoff and landing conditions, but its weight was only two-thirds of the original.
At the same time, the aluminum alloy skin of the fuselage and the cabin deck were replaced with light titanium alloy material. While the strength was higher, two tons of weight was saved.
The wiring was replaced in a large area, and the fireproof material was replaced in a large area. The four engines were also all dismantled by the Master Craftsman for maintenance.
Now, as long as Ye Qing gave the order, they could soar into the sky after being filled with fuel.
Of course, a large area of light alloy material was used. While the two aircraft saved a lot of fuselage weight, the center of gravity of the fuselage was inevitably changed.
The center of gravity of the fuselage was related to the stability of the aircraft in flight. The imbalance of the center of gravity may cause the aircraft to lose control and fall to the ground from a height of 10,000 meters. Therefore, the two aircraft had to be counterweighted to ensure the stability of flight when flying.
It was a transport aircraft, so the counterweight could naturally be used as cargo. The aircraft had its own trim detection system. It only needed to weigh the cargo in advance to give the optimal placement of the cargo.
The next day.
The doors of the two Ilyushin Il-76 in the hangar were wide open, and trucks drove out of the Longxitan factory one after another.
The first two heavy trucks were dragging long flatbed trailers. On the trailers, there were two strange-looking wheeled engineering vehicles, which attracted the attention of many airline employees.
On the chassis of the engineering vehicle, there was a huge engine that was much longer than the chassis. It was dozens of meters long. There was no cockpit on it, and there was no extra functional equipment except for the engine. Seeing it carefully drive into the cabin, many people doubted the power of this thing. It could drag the transport aircraft on the runway at 70 miles per hour.
In fact, it was a 2000KW generator. This thing could generate electricity for an hour and supply a large community of 10,000 people. This was under the condition that half of the users turned on the air conditioner. If it was just for lighting, it would be a waste to turn on all the lights in the city of Anut.
The first transport aircraft was stuffed with two electric cars. The second transport aircraft had several forklifts running back and forth, carrying van sized boxes of cargo. The folding seats installed in the two rows at the end of the cabin were also opened one by one. It seemed that when the cargo was loaded, these seats would be full of passengers.
Today, hundreds of employees of Monster Industries would take them to the poor and chaotic Anut District of Nigeria to build a large mine that only belonged to Monster Industries.
For safety reasons, there were actually dozens of unarmed security robots hidden in these tightly sealed goods …
At the same time, in the Longxitan factory.
A 70,000-ton container freighter was anchored at the edge of the harbor. There was nothing on the deck of this freighter, but on the harbor, there were twelve steel giants the size of Boeing 737 passenger planes neatly arranged.
Two port cranes that were dozens of stories tall were using thick and heavy steel cables to fix these giant steel objects with the help of the peons.
