industrial maniac

8 month 5 number.

German base in the Aegean Sea.

In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and high-concentration disinfectant was floating in the air.

Wearing the highest level of protective clothing, gas mask, medical gloves, etc., Xu Fei walked to the iron freezer that North America was about to hand over.

The engineer staff held up the umbrella, and the North American soldiers opened the iron cover.

The next moment, a skinny humanoid creature with protruding bone joints, a huge head, sunken eye sockets, and no nose appeared in front of him, very much like a legendary alien.

Raymond said, "Actually, we don't know if it's alive."

"..."

"Thirty years ago, due to operational errors, the temperature in the cabin reached 30°C and the oxygen content dropped to 16%. It woke up once, but it was difficult to communicate. Later, we added a high-concentration nutrient solution to it and replaced it every other week. Once, unfortunately, in the past 5 years, it never woke up again."

Xu Fei was slightly taken aback, "Aliens also use nutrient solution?"

"I don't get it, it's been the way it's been done for almost 30 years."

"Where are the fragments?"

"Here." A North American soldier took out a heavy suitcase from behind, and opened it, revealing two black stones with pitted surfaces.

At this moment, the detection device on the chest of the German North personnel transmitted the alarm sound to the wearer through the earphones.

[Radiation dose 450mSv. ]
[Radiation dose 870mSv. ]
[Radiation dose 1350mSv. ]
Seeing that the radiation level was getting higher and higher, Xu Fei motioned for the naked North American soldier to close the cover, and then looked at Lei Meng, "Is this a meteorite?"

"NASA said that the essence should be an aircraft. It disintegrated due to the impact, and the fragments penetrated into the atmosphere at supersonic speeds, and burned violently. After that, it took an unknown number of years of oxidation and corrosion to become like this."

Xu Fei nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Because the base reminded that this is an alloy composed of six layers of radioactive heavy elements, which cannot be analyzed by current technology.

Unable to resolve means that it is of great research value.

Moreover, in addition to the expansion pack, the intelligence system has also made a lot of guesses about whether North America has aliens, and most of them tend to have them.

Because when we celebrate Lafayette's birthday, Western scientists have traveled all over the world, picked up the first batch of treasures, and even established scientific research stations at the poles.

This is like a networked version of the reinstallation mechanic. The map is updated at [-] o'clock every Monday morning. Whoever goes online first will pick up the unowned treasure on the map first.

My home went online on the weekend, and there is still a thread on the map.

Therefore, we must admit the gap between the two sides, recognize our own shortcomings, and then strive to catch up.

After the North American soldiers handed over the box to their own staff.

Xu Fei waved his hand to the distance, "Bring up our alien squid."

Before the words were finished, fifty engineers pushed a huge sand table 3 meters wide, 10 meters long, and 2 meters high.

The sand table is like an underwater world, covered with all kinds of gorgeous coral agate, just like the Dragon Palace in Journey to the West.

At this moment, a little squid, wearing a crown of alloys of light elements randomly blended from the basic production line, and holding a staff made of composite materials, is about to bury itself in the sea sand to sleep.

Perhaps feeling the movement, the squid shivered and stretched its limbs, and the other claws pushed gently, and the whole torso floated in the middle of the water, like Huang Banzhao pinching his fingers and fortune-telling.

Seeing this, Raymond's facial muscles trembled, "Is this the mutant or alien you mentioned?"

"Don't underestimate it. It is the high priest of alien civilization. It just came to us. Due to the influence of the environment, it has been severely degraded in many aspects, but it can still be called a 'god' in human civilization."

Raymond obviously didn't believe it.

Xu Fei motioned for it to go aside, and whispered: "It told me that next year's World Cup quarter-finals...finals...semi-finals...finally, China will win the championship."

Although the World Cup in 02 in the expansion film was a duel between Germany and Brazil, and Brazil won the championship in the end, but Zidane drank milk and his head went bald ahead of time. In addition, the country has a championship lineup for 98 years, and Ronaldo is 37 years old. It is not a problem for Faguo to win the championship again.

When Lei Meng heard this, he quickly took out a pen and paper and wrote it down, "Is there any more?"

"It said that there was a plane crashing into a building in North America in September, and it didn't let me wander around the World Trade Center."

Lei Meng froze, pretending to be nonchalant, "Are you kidding me!"

"It also said that its hometown is Alpha Centauri star C, with stars A and B beside it, 4.2 light-years away from here. It was hit by a meteorite during a spaceflight activity and entered a dormant period before coming here. Here, when it wakes up, it is already 1999 A.D. on the mother star, and it predicts that human beings will arrive at its hometown with the mother star in 2500 years. Of course, it took a long time for Debei to decipher this information .”

Raymond doesn't believe in ABC planets, and he doesn't believe that humans take their parent star to Centaurus, but in September, a plane crashed into a building...

While suspecting that the news had been leaked internally, he was dubious about the alien squid.

After Xu Fei finished speaking, Lei Meng made an OK gesture, "Okay, this transaction is complete, Xu, I need to talk to you."

"Okay, I'm going to change my clothes first."

Xu Fei asked the engineer to send the goods handed over by North America to the underground test base, then turned around and went to the complex building.

Raymond followed behind, quickly organizing his words.

The island where the German base is located, formerly known as Oia Island, has a total area of ​​136 square kilometers and is located at the junction of the Mediterranean Sea and the Aegean Sea.

The base is semi-public, which means that the whole world knows that the island is a military unit of North Germany, but the island is not open to the outside world, and even ships outside the island are prohibited from passing through within a radius of 12 nautical miles.

At present, the base has two military airports, two military ports, two tank test areas, and three comprehensive military training camps, with a total force of 1.6.

The equipped German Crusader units include: 10 combat Kirovs, 50 rocket-type Black Hawk fighters, 25 armed helicopters, 30 Rhino chariots, 50 Grizzly chariots, 150 unmanned tanks, 5 Thousands of horror robots.

配备的徳國國防軍单位包括：30架台风战机、 15架狂风战斗教练机，3架A-400M战略运输机，2架A-300战术运输机，5架A-400M空中加油机，20辆豹2A4，50辆鼬鼠装甲车，近百辆运输载具。

Relevant facilities include simulators for training recruits, early warning radars for air defense, underwater sonar detection robots, V-series rocket launch systems, Javelin precision-guided missiles, several fuel depots, several ammunition depots...

Now that Director Xu is here, he will add 10 more Kirovs, a command ship comparable to a small aircraft carrier, and five arsenal ships.

Based on a comprehensive calculation, although the overall strength of the German bases stationed in the Aegean Sea is not as good as the North American bases blooming in the Mediterranean, they can serve as a springboard for the German North to radiate the war-torn areas of the Balkans and West Asia.

Just like the German bombing of Hazara before, the combat radius is as high as 4200 kilometers.

With the help of RAND Corporation's strategic analysis, the North American military department shattered Germany's plan to plot the Aynak open-pit copper mine, but Xu Fei brought the fleet to the German base in the Aegean Sea, which was still an unacceptable military deployment in North America.

Therefore, in addition to being in charge of this transaction, General Raymond, the chief of defense, will also convey his dissatisfaction to Foreman through Xu Fei. In addition, he will go to Tuji to split up the Balkans that are finally chaotic, but united.

While thinking, Lei Meng took off his protective clothing, revealing the military uniform inside.

As soon as I entered the lobby of the complex building, a bearded Yugoslav came up to me.

"Hello, General Raymond."

"Hello."

"I am the person in charge of external affairs in Montenegro. We have lodged a protest against North America's bombing of the Balkan oil pipeline and demanded $3 million in compensation."

"???"

Lei Meng looked at the skinny man who was half a head taller than himself, almost reaching two meters one, and wanted to beat him up and ask him if he knew who he was talking to.

Looking up, he saw seven or eight Yugoslavs of the same height surrounding him, "General Raymond..."

Although Lei Meng is very good at fighting, but this is at the German base, who knows if it is Xu Fei's arrangement.

Moreover, the pipeline was indeed blown up by him, because the pipeline extending from North Germany to the Balkans, on the one hand, the natural gas from Ice Bear goes southeast, and on the other hand, the crude oil from West Asia flows to Northern Europe.

The two have split into multiple branches along the way to form a huge energy monopoly market, which is contrary to North America's plan to control Eastern Europe, and it is also not in line with North America's interests in Europe.

Seeing that he was about to be beaten, Lei Meng backed away quickly, "Sorry, I don't know about the pipeline."

Xu Fei waited in the locker room for a while, seeing that the heroes of the Balkans fell out with Lei Meng, but Greece and Tuji remained indifferent, and walked in immediately to end the assessment.

The Southern Alliance had just been bombed, and they both hated and feared North America. Now that they have the backing of Germany and North America, continuing to oppose North America is not a problem.

Greece is different from Turkey. Greece is a hardcore member of the European Union and a major member of NATO, while Turkey is the main force set up by North America in the Black Sea to prevent Mao Xiong from going south. The ranking of the military is even higher than that of Germany, second only to the Japanese Island, ranked eighth in the world.

Therefore, Germany's attitude towards the Balkans is to support and form an alliance.

The attitude towards Greece is to make friends, cooperate, lease the Aegean Sea base, and let the other party become a peacemaker between North America and North Germany.

The attitude towards the turkey is... If Raymond goes to the turkey this time, the turkey will definitely betray the Balkan Chamber of Commerce, and then the Balkan heroes will make their debut.

Now that Western Europe is starting an arms race, Eastern Europe is also going to move.

Otherwise, it would be a waste of work to build so many tanks, fighter planes, warships, and strategic deployments.

"Cough cough."

Xu Fei stepped into the hall, and the engineer behind him rushed forward, separating the two sides with a stronger body.

Lei Meng was worried that Xu Fei would talk about the fuel pipeline with him, which would affect the personal relationship between the two parties, so he didn't express his dissatisfaction with today's encounter, and walked quickly to the nearest reception room with a blank expression.

Xu Fei squinted at the native chicken, nodded to Greece, and greeted the Balkan heroes with a smile. He took out a box of two cigars from his pocket, walked into the reception room and threw it to Raymond.

"How about a taste, it is said that a Cuban master made it himself."

"Has Debei contacted Cuba?"

"Old Lei, you have to understand that I'm just a part-time worker. In some things, I can't help myself. I took out the cigars made by Cuban masters, just to compensate for the poor hospitality today. You open your mouth and ask me Debei Regarding the relationship with Cuba, this is putting things on the table, which makes me a little embarrassed, but fortunately there are people around me, otherwise Foreman would have sent me to the gallows if he knew about it?"

Raymond shrugged, picked up the cigar, sniffed it carefully, and then struck a match to light it up, "Sorry, I have a bad temper, and I almost got blown up just now."

"We are all part-time workers. I didn't say anything when you bombed my oil pipeline. Why are you so angry?"

"Yes, we are all part-time workers, and there are many things we can't help ourselves." Raymond took a deep breath of the cigar, forced it into his lungs, and then let it out slowly, making the whole room foggy.

Xu Fei was not interested in tobacco and alcohol, so he turned on the ventilation device, poured two glasses of lemonade, and sat next to Lei Meng, "What are you going to talk about?"

"It's still a matter between Germany and North America. Let me pass you to persuade Foreman to reduce the German North's armaments in the Aegean Sea."

"You think I can do it? Like this time, I was forced to die."

When the news came that North America ordered the Mummy Country to block the Suez Canal, and then arranged for agents to destroy the 50-ton giant cargo ship, Xu Fei understood that North America had seen through its plan to plot the Aynak Copper Mine, so he launched the second plan to expand the Aegean Sea Base, fortified Mediterranean springboard.

And North America saw through the military deployment in North Germany, so there was no need for Xu Fei to continue pretending to be sick.

Lei Meng understood this exactly. When he got off the transport plane today and saw Xu Fei in good condition, he was not surprised by the other person's physical condition.

It's just that he didn't know that the dog dealer in front of him was the big Boos behind the scenes, and he attributed all the actions of Debei to Foreman, "Xu, just like the communication in North America last time, you can join us, and when the war is won, Although the two of us cannot become an existence like Morgan, we can become capital tycoons similar to the major shareholders of Boeing and Raytheon."

"Okay, what do you say I should do?"

"Convince Foreman to reduce the base's military strength by two-thirds."

Xu Fei picked up the lemonade, took a sip to moisten his throat, shook his head and said, "It's hard, Foreman's pursuit of power is far beyond your imagination, and this is the main reason why he values ​​me, because I can create powerful power for him. .”

Director Xu is not only the world's sixth-ranked professional manager, but also a physicist, material scientist, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, electronics expert, and analog electronics expert.

This time, the German North announced the brief information of the First Fleet, the list of designers of the Viladimo command ship and the Tiberium-class destroyer, and once again gave Director Xu the title of "weapon expert" and "pioneer of modern warships". title.

In particular, the Tiberium-class destroyer is not only the first arsenal ship put into use in human history, but also opened a new chapter in ocean warfare.

Raymond also picked up the lemonade and drank half a glass, "Xu, you have to do something that is beneficial to North America, otherwise they won't let you go, next time it won't be General Electric's Mavericks, but various assassinations." , Maybe it was an order signed by me, of course, I will notify you in advance, but I can't remind you again and again, because the surveillance around me is everywhere."

Xu Fei got up and walked to the window, thinking for a long time, "Old Lei, how about that Tiberium-class destroyer in the distance?"

"Very strong."

"30 billion U.S. dollars, can you buy it?"

"???"

"It's expensive, but its design concept is very advanced, enough to eliminate all existing destroyers."

"Are you kidding me, or serious?"

"Seriously, including the rhino heavy tanks and gunships in the tank testing ground, they can all be sold to North America. However, I need a reason, such as selling these things for cash, which can bring greater benefits to Germany. You know, Foreman never questioned my ability to run the business."

Raymond's eyes lit up, "You mean to reduce the strength of the German base in the Aegean Sea by selling arms?"

"After thinking about it, it seems that this is the only way, especially when you plan to phase out the Kuntz-class destroyers built in the 50s, the Adams-class destroyers built in the 60s, and the California-class peace power cruisers built in the 70s, with a gap of up to 35 warships. The Tiberium-class destroyer seems to be more powerful than the Zumwalt-class destroyer commissioned by General Electric. If it is paired with your old-fashioned battleship-Ticonderoga-class cruiser, the former is a spear and the latter is a shield. It will form a stronger fighting force.”

Raymond couldn't help taking another deep puff of his cigar, "Are you really kidding me?"

"As I said, Foreman has never questioned my business ability. If I say that selling these warships can create greater profits, he will definitely agree." After Xu Fei finished speaking, he turned on his personal computer and put The secret information of sub-class destroyers is unlocked.

"wait for me!"

After Raymond finished speaking, he picked up his laptop in one hand and took out the communicator in the other, ready to find a place to make a call, but when he walked to the door, he thought that this was the German North Base, and no matter where he went, he might be monitored, so he just sat back. In the original position, in front of Xu Fei, contact the White House.

……

North America.

Xiao Bu received a call from Raymond and heard that Xu Fei planned to sell the Tiberium-class destroyer, or in other words, sell the world's number one arsenal ship, so he contacted Congress on the spot.

At the same time, pass the detailed information sent by Raymond to the North American Military Department.

Tiberium-class destroyer: 182.6 meters long, 26.7 meters wide, with a full load displacement of 1.86 tons and a crew of 152.

Two-shaft propulsion mode is adopted, and two sets of X-30 gas turbine generator sets/85MW, about 11.5 horsepower, are used as the main power.Two sets of X-3 gas turbines/8MW, about 1.1 horsepower, are used as auxiliary power.The battery life is 2 nautical miles, and the maximum speed is 35 knots.

Hull selling price: about 30 billion US dollars.

It has: multi-band phased array radar-radar module upgrade version, photoelectric detection/fire control system, passive bow sonar/multi-frequency modular whole ship sonar/array ultra-long-range sonar, integrated laser anti-counterfeiting system, ground armament system, underwater combat system, all-weather stealth system...

Naval gun: 2x165mm 70-caliber advanced naval gun system.

Missiles: 20x quadruple vertical launchers, with a total loading capacity of 120 pieces, which can be loaded with anti-submarine rockets, Javelin cruise missiles, Javelin-1 short-range air defense missiles, and area-type air defense missiles.

Close defense: 2x30mm naval guns.

Carrier aircraft: 2 anti-submarine helicopters, 3 remote-controlled aircraft, 2x7m hard-hulled expansion boats.

Outfitting quotation: US$22 billion, excluding carrier-based aircraft.

Total offer: $52 billion.

It seems that the price of the conventional aircraft is higher than that of the conventional aircraft. Even the Ford-class aircraft is only 130 billion US dollars, but through simulation, the combat effectiveness of this arsenal ship can beat 7 to 10 capital ships currently in service in North America- Burke-class destroyer.

The cost of the Burke-class destroyer is about 18 billion US dollars.

Although the gentlemen in Congress did not understand warships, they knew the benefits of 'nuclear power' and rejected the North American Army's proposal on the spot.

The Pentagon received a reply, and there was a lot of scolding. The deputy defense chief led the generals to fight to Congress, unanimously requesting to purchase at least 3 ships.

The old men in Congress got angry and announced that they would leave work, and the meeting would be discussed in three days.

Why three days later?
There will be a meeting tomorrow Saturday, the day after tomorrow, and Monday.

……

"Xu, the purchase of warships may take some time."

"I'm not in a hurry, but as I said just now, I need to give Foreman a suitable reason, that is, selling these warships can create greater profits."

"Understood, I will discuss with Congress, such as reducing the tax rate on German industrial products, or lifting the export restrictions on certain raw materials."

"Alright."

"Then I'll go to the North American base first, and come back after three days."

Raymond completed the task of 'reducing the military strength of the German North Base' and immediately took a transport plane to Tuji.

Xu Fei didn't feel bad about selling the Tiberium-class destroyer.

One is that the high technology can be dismantled, and the other is that it belongs to the base unit.

All base units will be displayed on the mini-map, even if they are invisible, they are also their own units.

In this way, if North America uses the Tiberium-class destroyers to make their own bricks cold, they can completely 'coquettishly move', create all kinds of reasonable coincidences or accidents, and easily avoid attacks.

"It's a pity that you can't choose a unit and then choose to destroy it like in a game, and the thing will be gone. Otherwise, this business will not go bankrupt in North America."

Xu Fei waited for Raymond's C-17 transport plane to leave, and came to the base laboratory thinking about it.

Biologists, chemical experts, and genetic experts from the Ironhide Company, including Kasar from the Civic Hospital, arrived here as early as yesterday.

At the moment, the 'alien' handed over by Raymond is being studied.

Xu Fei put on the heavy-duty biochemical protective suit and walked to Kasar's side, "What did you find?"

"Boss, according to medical theory, it should be a mutant, because its internal organs and blood are completely different from ours, and it is anaerobic. But using the operating table in the laboratory for slice research, based on my years of medical experience, this Appears to be a human torso."

"people?"

"That's right, people who have been mutated by radiation may have been irradiated from the fetal period, and after they were born, they will undergo genetic mutations in an environment full of radium rays. Although the probability of this is very low, I think of one thing, maybe It is not too surprising that there are 5 mutants, or even more mutants."

"what's up?"

"Have you ever heard of 'Radium Drink'?"

"No."

"This is what happened in the 20s. At that time, Marie Curie discovered that radium rays could cure cancer. In order to make a lot of money, Western capitalists took advantage of the heat of the news to launch a 'drink containing radium' and advertised it in advertisements. : The alpha particles produced by the decay of radium can replenish energy for the human body, thereby treating more than 100 diseases including blood pressure, anemia, and epilepsy."

While looking for information through the power bank, Casal talked eloquently, "In fact, Mrs. Curie died of radium radiation. How could the radium supplement drink have such a miraculous effect."

"However, regardless of psychological issues or other unknown effects, some athletes did achieve better results when they drank the radium drink."

"That led to a rush for radium supplements."

"Also, gene mutation needs a process, and people who drink radium supplement drinks will not have problems in a short period of time."

"As a result, the drink has been sold in the Western world for more than a decade."

"Then, the 'alien' in front of us is very likely to be the victim at that time. The babies born due to various accidents were later found by the North American Military Department. They suspected that they were aliens, so they raised them."

Cassar showed relevant information about radium tonic drinks and aliens, "One more thing, reports about aliens in North America probably appeared after 1946, and they were concentrated in New Mexico."

"But do you know where North America built its first nuclear weapon?"

Xu Fei subconsciously said, "Is it also in New Mexico?"

"That's right, and it was July 1945, 7." Casal got up and went to the freezer with a complicated look on his face, "I used to be very curious about aliens, and even planned to apply to join Area 16, but after researching now, I understand .”

"No, Casar, are these two things related?"

"If there is a magic drink on the market that can cure more than 100 diseases, how much do you plan to sell? Who can afford it?"

"Rich?!"

"No, it was the scientists who tried it first, especially those who conducted peaceful experiments. After all, there were no peaceful weapons at that time."

"You mean, this mutant is a descendant of scientists who developed peaceful weapons in North America?"

"I hope the guess is wrong, after all, North America has also done a lot of research on it."

Suddenly, a material scientist from North America said: "North America must have done research, but after this body was sent to Area 51, it was difficult for outside researchers to see him again, including us, and those who entered, It is difficult to come out, plus he is defined as an alien, all research is careful, not as cut as ours... So, this so-called alien should be North American to cover up the negative effects of 'radium supplement drink', and The negative impact of the peaceful experiment, the fabricated 'nothing product', and then destroyed all the materials, so that North America now always thinks he is an alien."

Another biologist from Sweden nodded, "I am biased towards the fact that radium supplementation drinks cause gene mutations at the embryonic stage, but further research is needed."

Xu Fei was not very afraid of 'alien' at first, but after listening to the analysis and looking at the weird torso, perhaps out of the same kind of psychology, he only felt a chill down his spine, "Forget it, it's too miserable, let's bury it. "
