industrial maniac

It has only been half a month since the buyer of the airship material got the goods.

At present, in the field of airships, the professionalism of General Electric is second only to Iron Sheet Company, and the research on rigid airships is still in the demonstration stage.

The third brother suddenly created a complete Zeppelin, the speed is astounding.

However, Xu Fei knew the inside story.

In the past two years, the third brother had a little conflict with his own side, especially the appearance of the plateau chariot-Grizzly, which made him feel a strong sense of crisis.

There are also many opinions on German companies investing in the East.

The airship was originally a product that was not taken seriously. On the day the Iron Sheet Company announced the restoration of Zeppelin, the third brother then expressed his disdain.

And claimed: We not only have mature technology, but also can mass-produce suitable skins, what is a small airship?
This has greatly increased its international status.

Almost became a technological powerhouse.

Later, the Ironhide Company built the Kirov airship, which was then put into passenger and cargo transportation, and the raw materials were sold publicly.

The third brother was embarrassed when he figured out the hot prospect of the airship.

Immediately panicked.

There are grizzly chariots on the land in the east, Kirov in the air, and the national power is stronger than our own. If they are annoyed, they may be beaten into the hinterland again.

Fortunately, the Iron Sheet Company is a German company.

The third brother hurriedly sent people to Germany to find the manager and the parliament.

In the end, for the benefit of the state of Berlin, Speaker Forman decided to give the third brother a set of high imitation Zeppelin technology that was reversed by Kirov with a license fee of 2 million US dollars, regardless of previous suspicions.

The two parties signed a confidentiality agreement, and the third brother purchased a package of low-grade materials.

All in all, the third brother was in a hurry to build the airship out of a crisis.

Well now, 300 meters above the ground, volley blasting.

After the accident, the Iron Sheet Company was affected to some extent.

The quality of nylon fiber, the composition of nylon fiber, the production process of nylon fiber, and the quality of carbon fiber skeleton are all questioned.

The questioning party did not really question it, but just forced the Iron Sheet Company to disclose its technology.

When Xu Fei saw the news, he postponed his schedule, immediately dispatched engineers and researchers to form an investigation team, and prepared to lead the team to investigate in person.

However, I don't know that the third brother has a guilty conscience about his status as a big country, and he is still worried about leaking the technology that he bought back for 2 million US dollars. In just 10 minutes, the specific cause of the accident was announced.

The efficiency is fast and staggering.

In fact, there is no need to investigate the cause of the accident at all.

Because everyone knows that the third brother fills the airship with hydrogen.

With the high temperature environment of the third brother, coupled with the frequent fires of the third brother, coupled with the bullshit technique of the third brother, and the fact that the third brother did not have a plan to eliminate static electricity, it would be strange not to blast.

As for why not use helium...

Although helium is the second most abundant element in the universe after hydrogen, it cannot stay in the atmosphere of the parent star due to the density of the parent star alone.

Therefore, the helium in the air is less than 1%, which is a non-renewable resource and cannot be synthesized artificially.

At present, the only way to obtain helium is to use condensation to purify natural gas.

And this technology, few countries can do it.

In particular, the 99.999% pure helium is only available in North America and Maoxiong.

The countries that produce helium all list helium as a strategic resource, which is used in nuclear fusion, aerospace industry, weapons industry, low-temperature superconductivity and other fields.

This leads to the high price of helium.

Now that the airship technology is reappearing, helium is defined as "gas chip" and "gas gold", and the price has climbed to US$8/ton.

Take the manufacture of a Kirov as an example, and then calculate that 1 ton of lift requires 897m of helium.

1000 tons of carrying capacity + 150 tons of dead weight, about 103 million m of helium is needed.

The mass of 1m helium is about 1.1kg.

X103 million m, need to fill 1133 tons.

Worth about $9000 million.

For such an expensive consumable, the countries and enterprises on the home planet are not willing to use helium in the experimental stage, and they are not willing to fill the airship with helium when it is estimated that it will be built and put into operation.

Especially if you are willing to spend money, you may not be able to buy it.

"Director Xu, how does your factory solve the problem of helium demand?"

"Mr. Xu, does the Kirov airship use helium?"

"Mr. Xu, how do airship passengers purchase insurance? How do they compensate if something goes wrong?"

In the No. 1 office building of Daze Power, hundreds of reporters took turns to ask questions.

Xu Fei sat on the rostrum, cheerfully nodding to the surroundings frequently.

Business is back on.

Although the company does not have helium production equipment, the airport's manufacturing plant has its own refining device for the construction of Kirov airships and subsequent maintenance and repairs.

The refining method adopts the "ore separation method". The rare earth ore containing helium is roasted to separate the gas, and then through chemical methods, water vapor, hydrogen, carbon dioxide and other impurities are removed to obtain superfluid helium II, and helium I is obtained by heating.

'It is said that the moon is full of helium III, maybe we should speed up. '

Xu Fei raised his right hand and pressed downwards, signaling for the audience to be quiet, "The first question, Iron Sheet Company undertook the TEP energy project, has natural gas purification technology, and can produce helium, but the current output is low, and it only buys from the base Provide one-to-one service for Love Airship and customers who purchase airship materials, with a preferential price of 7 US dollars/ton."

"The second question, the Kirov airship must use helium, and it is 99.9999% helium!"

"The third question is that our Kirov airship is unlikely to have an accident. Unless the passengers voluntarily jump off, we will definitely not provide compensation."

"Any question?"

"Mr. Xu, during the Olympic Games, your revenue from ticket sales exceeded that of the organizers, which caused Australia to be very dissatisfied with you. How do you plan to respond?"

"Everyone makes money based on their skills. I am also very dissatisfied with their attitude. I decided to increase the price of the other party alone. The price of airship materials and helium increased by 200%, and all the berthing of the Kirov Sky Garden in Australia was cancelled. point."

"Does Mr. Foreman allow you to do this?"

"You have to ask our chairman this question. I'm just a part-time worker, responsible for production and operations."

"Mr. Xu, I heard that Italy gave you 2000 million euros. Sino-Ocean Group just opened a berth in San Marino. Is it true?"

"Nonsense, this is slander, the rumour-monger must be sued!"

Director Xu left the meeting angrily.

Not long after the interview was over, the third brother placed another order to purchase advanced materials worth US$15 billion and helium gas worth US$2 million.

So far, the bombing incident of the airship that caused a sensation around the world has temporarily come to an end.

.........

noon.

Xu Fei sat in the modified version of the big red flag and continued to go overland to Hazara.

October 10st is both National Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, and corn harvesting season.

The convoy drove out of the brightly red Daze Industrial Park, and as it headed west, the scenery along the way gradually returned to 'reality'.

Potholed asphalt roads, small alleys full of withered and yellow corn stalks, dilapidated villages...

Except for the dense roadside trees, everything indicates that this is the millennium.

But many places have not changed.

The number of agricultural machinery suddenly increased.

Osawa summer tooling, I don't know when it became fashionable.

Everyone, big and small, wears camouflage, and the products of the supply and marketing cooperative can be seen everywhere.

The car window was lowered, and the sound of a corn thresher was heard in the distance.

Looking into the distance, you can vaguely see the figure of the Daze combined planter.

Passing by a certain township, the playground in the backyard of the supply and marketing cooperative was holding a football match. On the small square in front of the door, there were many teenagers fighting with mechanical toys in their hands.

The girls who come and go are getting more and more beautifully dressed, but the young and old are all obsessed with CS and cannot extricate themselves, and have no time to run out to admire...

Wearing sunglasses, Xu Fei got out of the car for a walk, then returned to the car, "Maybe when I go to the countryside again, the changes will be even greater."

The convoy, disguised as a project inspection team, started slowly, passed through Ze City, and entered Nanhe. By the next morning, there was no trace of the Daze industry.

"Now we have no shortage of red money in our pockets. It doesn't matter if we ask the military division to speed up the acquisition plan of the supply and marketing cooperatives in Shaanxi, Xishan, and Ganzhou, even if we pay a little more money."

The secretary carefully wrote down, "Where is Beihu?"

"It would be great if we can win the supply and marketing cooperatives across the country."

"Ok."

Up to now, Xu Fei deeply understands the advantages of "supply and marketing cooperatives".

Especially with the addition of the logistics system, it is not much worse than the post office that can deliver anywhere.

It's just that the more remote the area, the greater the loss.

We must find a way to stop the loss, otherwise we will go back to the old path of "the tail is too big to lose" of the supply and marketing cooperatives, and we will be dragged down by more and more debts.

10 month 3 number.

United Defense won 1500 M8 upgrade projects, which will be delivered in the middle of next year, with a unit price of 500 million and a total cost of 75 billion US dollars.

In addition to the Bradley series, etc., North America started the arms procurement project at the end of August. As of mid-October, it has received a total of 8 billion US dollars in orders.

Let's just say it has completed the "first show" after United Defense was acquired.

It also represents the return of Joint Defense to the 'defense contractor' sequence.

Although the scale is not comparable to Raytheon, Boeing, Grumman, Carlyle, Texas, etc., but in the field of light weapons, it is still the first.

And with the dual approval of the North American Military Department and the North American Congress, you can sell your own products to members of the NATO system, and even to areas where sales are allowed.

For example, Spain plans to purchase 150 Bradley M2 armored infantry vehicles. As long as Congress signs it, they can deliver it.

Arms dealers, how could they live on transparent electrical appliances?

……

10 month 4 number.

Yumen Pass.

A convoy of ten refitted Red Flags parked at the entrance of a giant factory building one after another.

During the Hazara oilfield incident, TEP decided to lay crude oil + natural gas dual pipelines.

Later, the large oil field was taken by Morgan, and the project has not stopped.

Because of the young and energetic director Xu, he has always wanted to take back Hazara.

It's just that Strauss didn't support it, and he was forced to switch to the Iron Sheet Company.

Foreman has true love for Director Xu. He not only bears the loss of the TEP energy project, but also takes advantage of the German federal defense reform to absorb a large number of special forces from KSK and GSG9, and hires a large number of snipers from England to form the "Iron Cross Guard" team', always on call.

In addition, the shipyard was acquired to prepare to build warships.

Restore Zeppelin, research and develop airship stealth, air carrier, and airship launch platform.

Based on the Berlin State Council, buy guide eggs, rockets and other technologies everywhere.

Expand the laboratory to develop combat robots and unmanned remote control vehicles.

In short, Director Xu and Foreman, fighting against each other, vowed to make shit out of the forces that robbed their oil fields.

These are no secrets.

There are even hundreds of millions of mechanical enthusiasts and CS game enthusiasts, looking forward to that moment.

As for what JP Morgan thinks...

Hazara has no oil, Morgan has signed a crude oil purchase contract with OPEC, and now he has deployed a war, and he has long wanted to throw the blame away.

Moreover, North America must be happy to see outside companies spending money on laying useless pipelines.

And JP Morgan also wants to see how this rookie in the business world will react when he learns that Hazara has no gas after investing billions of dollars.

Due to various reasons, the crude oil pipeline project went smoothly without any objection or sabotage.

It starts from Yumen Pass in the east, ends in the north of Baguo in the west, and goes straight to Hazara after completion.

It's just that the scale is too large, and it won't be completed in a while.

Xu Fei got out of the car, and took a look at the CCC network base station, which is the radar module, extending from Dongshan under the distant sky with the binoculars.

After finishing the body, it can be called the most advanced digital desert camouflage in the world, and entered the factory.

My father, Lao Xu, was sitting at the door, sucking some noodles, and a few garlic cloves were scattered on the table.

After the project of the Beijing Supply and Marketing Corporation and the four TEP directly-operated stores in the southeast and northwest were completely completed, Xu and Zhao's army divided into two groups.

Lao Xu was in charge of the crude oil pipeline and the laying of radar to the west.

Lao Zhao is responsible for the expansion of Daze and the laying of radars to the south.

The size of the Daze Group has also reached the brigade level.

It has four standard regiments, two independent regiments, 25 mechanical companies, and fifty assault squads. During the National Day, it was awarded honorary titles such as "advanced collective" and "backbone force for modernization" by the superiors.

"Why did you eat it?"

"There was a sandstorm last night. In order to prevent the newly laid pipe joints from being buried, the construction team worked all night."

Xu Fei picked up the map on the table and looked at it, "When do you expect to arrive in Pakistan?"

"Pakistan started construction in September, and the two sides are advancing side by side. It is expected to join forces at the border in May 9."

"There are two more regiments in the middle."

"Advancing at both ends and blooming in the middle? It can save almost half a year, but there are deserts, plateaus, and even cliffs along the way. Transportation is difficult. What we lack now is pipelines, not labor and construction machinery."

"How about I transfer the Kirov airship?"

"Would Foreman be willing?"

"The energy project is assigned to Ironhide, and he's sure to like it."

"That would be great. With an airship with a thousand-ton carrying capacity, the speed will be even faster."

"estimated time?"

"It only takes two ships to advance to the middle of next year."

"It's better to go faster and use it to promote the airship."

Xu Fei harvests 5 million energy every day, and it takes 10 billion to build Kirov.

After half a month, the Four-Pointed Star Airport now has 12 Kirovs.

After dispatching two ships, they arrived at Yumen Pass at noon, and brought a batch of ingredients produced by FMC by the way.

The father and son have a big meal, and then promote the relationship between father and son.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Fei set foot on the road to the west again.

at the same time.

The warships dispatched from Nanbangzi Incheon Naval Port also installed the core of the secondary base, hoisted the Stars and Stripes, flaunting their might, crossed the Maliu Strait, sang and danced all the way to Sangeyang.

……

10 month 20 number.

Leaning on a trekking stick, Xu Fei trekked across mountains and rivers, and once again set foot on the land of Hazara.

Passing by the ruins of Hadza city, an old man shepherd rubbed his eyes suddenly, got up and rushed over in a hurry, "Mr. Xu?"

Translators help convey.

Xu Fei nodded, "Yes, Uncle Ashraf."

"You actually remember me?"

"I will remember every kind person, and you are undoubtedly one of them."

"No, no, you are the real kind person."

"By the way, where are you Mullah Baldik?"

"He went to heaven, and the current mullah is his elder brother Kai."

"Go and tell him, Victor asked me to bring fire from the east!"

"what do you mean?"

"Yes, invest here, but this time it's Ironhide, we're going to do a different kind of business."

"As long as we live, we are willing to do anything."

Ashraf was so surprised that he didn't even want the sheep, and limped towards the southern foothills.

When Xu Fei left Hazara, he dropped a disc on the Hazara, so he naturally knew where the Hazara were hiding.

He also knew that in the past three months, no matter whether there were patients or fights, under the leadership of old Kai and several other intermediaries, the Hadza tribe not only did not reduce their staff, but also added hundreds of fat babies.

"Fortunately, the lame old Kay was chosen when the intermediary was launched, and he has a certain prestige foundation, otherwise it would be really difficult to manage."

Spies cannot replace prestigious people, only ordinary units that go unnoticed.

As the elder brother of the mullah, old Kay should have been an elite, but he may be crippled. He has no survival capital in this land, and has gradually been forgotten. It is just an ordinary weak mark on the small map.

This allowed Xu Fei to find a way to replace the elite units.

Break the leg, hang it for a few days, see the mark, and then drop the spy according to the situation.

"Da Ma, turn around and call Harden, I will treat him to dinner."

"Ok."

"Forget it, he's too dangerous, treat Xiaobu to dinner later."

"Ok!"

After a while.

The Hadza mullah, Old Kay, hurried over with Victor's brother, Victor.

"Mr. Xu, is my brother okay?"

Xu Fei shook his head slightly, the secretary took out his laptop and played various photos of Victor's life in TEP Academy.

Of course, there must be no fragments of indulging in CS, some are just hard work!

"Thank you, Mr. Xu, you will need me in the future, and Victor is willing to give everything."

"Ha, you are still a child. The factory manager doesn't need you to do this. Living well is the best reward."

"You are a great prophet."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Xu Fei and old Kai put on a show of politeness, and walked to the valley where the Hadza tribe was entrenched.

After three months, the desolate valley has been built into a 'cottage'.

There are many blockhouses built with stones at the entrance, and the interior is full of fortifications.

People live in simple caves.

Fortunately, the Hadza have obtained a lot of materials from TEP and Raymond's army. There is no shortage of diesel generators and drilling equipment. In addition, when they transported TEP vehicles, the Hadza tribe secretly sent rice, flour, grain and oil. The current standard of living is higher than before.

Therefore, the reputation of the old Kai has completely surpassed the previous Mullah Baldik.

What surprised Xu Fei was that he didn't do anything wrong, and the healthy and strong Baldik died unexpectedly.

He also wanted to ask the other party to call other tribes of the Hadza tribe to join them.

But under the wash of old Kai's ideas, the Hadza's attitude towards Mr. Xu is like that of a mullah.

Strolling around in the camp is always a call of respect.

Wait until evening.

A gigantic monster disguised as a small hill, covered with branches, slowly drove into the valley.

Young people of the Hadza ethnic group stepped forward enthusiastically, demolished the blockhouse at the entrance, and vacated a spacious site.

The Hadza people around had known for a long time that the things that Director Xu brought were big.

At this moment, when I saw the Jumbo vehicle, I didn't have any strange thoughts other than admiration.

That night.

Five basic production lines appear in a cave.

Hundreds of engineers also began to build tank factories and laboratories of corresponding levels.

"Brothers and sisters, I am still here for the Hazara oil field!"

"Mr. Xu will win!"

As the saying goes, acting is a complete set, since in the eyes of the outside world, I know that Hazara has oil, and now I have soldiers and weapons in my hands, I must take it back.

But this counterattack, on the surface, was to regain the oil production wells, but in fact it was to accumulate security forces.

Whether you can beat it or you can't beat it, you have to pretend that you can't beat it.

Then they recruited troops everywhere and trained the 'Iron Cross Guards' into the world's largest corporate security.

Even if Morgan withdraws, the Hadza will play offense and defense with them.

Of course, the most important thing is to find a country with crude oil, talk about the upcoming beating in North America, and then wholesale heavy weapons.

After Xu Fei was busy, he returned to his exclusive camp, but when he looked up, he saw the secretary, who was watching current affairs information with the help of satellite signals.

on the screen.

The head of affairs in North America, sitting in the hall of the mother star joint meeting, holding a plastic test tube, declared to the representatives of various countries in all directions that it was a peace-grade chemical raw material discovered from Iraq Krypton.

"Is it so fast, I haven't had time to scare Persia yet."
