Don't talk about martial arts, I'm a war contractor

Chapter 206: Shield, three-phase plan (please subscribe!)

In Tuqing, you can lose your wallet, but never your keys.

Especially if the key is engraved with the words Restricted or Security, or has a number, it will not be issued if you go to the key shop to pay for it. You must first go to the police station to issue a certificate.

The level of trouble is much higher than that of a few dollars a handful in China. When Xia Yu was in school, he was a metalworking intern and worked directly by hand.

Now that I have gone abroad and learned some special skills, I no longer need to rub my hands. Using some small tools, simple locks can be opened in seconds, and complicated ones only require a little more effort.

On a dark and windy month, in the dead of night, Xia Yu entered the area of ​​the Ximen Tunnel that was not open to the outside world.

There were no cameras, password locks, or smart access control. They were all old-fashioned mechanical locks. After opening seven or eight doors in a row, he finally arrived at the abandoned No. 3 working shaft.

After passing through the layers of debris, I found today’s goal at the deepest level.

The 15.6-meter-large-diameter Herrenknecht TBM is as high as a five-story building. Xiayu’s 5-lumen headlight can only illuminate part of this behemoth.

The outer shell was covered with a thick layer of dust but it looked okay, but the cutterhead, motor, main bearing, screw machine, and hydraulic motor were all approaching the end of their lifespan.

If the domestic resource recycling is done well, there may be motivation (profit) to dismantle, cut and sell the scrap products, but the soil is just thrown away here.

Of course, some hydraulic parts, cables, oil pumps, and solenoid valves were not broken, and they were all taken away as spare parts, so the shield machine in front of us was not the complete one that was nearly 90 meters long.

It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of spending more on raw materials. It doesn't go to the company's account. There is no upper limit to Xiayu's private project budget. After all, just a cave sub-base, a nearly 400-meter tunnel, and a smooth passage leading to the other side of the canyon are enough. The cost is hundreds of millions of dollars.

It would be much better to have a system. The cave rock mass is mainly basalt, which is used as aggregate to print shield segments and concrete mortar. The main purpose is to make the original soup into raw food, which saves the largest expenditure on consumables.

There is no way to save diesel. How powerful is the generator that can drive the 8400-kilowatt cutterhead?

So while excavating, Xiayu also had to secure the energy source for the cave sub-base.

This is an unavoidable topic. For such a large base, it cannot always be powered by a battery matrix. It uses system maintenance to transport electronics (charging) very quickly, but the base wants normal operation and continuous and stable energy. It's the most basic.

In addition, land-based (cave-based) steam catapults can also be installed together, based on technical reserves and experimental nature.

Xia Yu already has preliminary thoughts on this, just to see if the opportunity is suitable.

He moved closer to the shield machine and stroked the fuselage with his right hand.

"Huh~~"

The huge machine disappeared instantly and appeared in garage No. 3.

Well, although it is a construction machinery that travels underground and in mountains, it is still classified as a land vehicle by the system.

The empty body sections behind the shield machine are spacious enough to accommodate two or three heavy-duty trucks with double trailers.

This is already better than any armored train. The track gauge is only a little longer, and the internal space of this shield machine has three lanes.

The fully extended 111-meter wingspan of the F-19.2 cannot be accommodated. The variable-sweep wing aircraft can also retract its wings, and the wingspan can be reduced to the narrowest 9.75 meters.

This is also the reason why the F-14 Tomcat can still go on the ship without folding its wings. In addition, its weight is much lighter than the Aardvark.

[Project: Herrenknecht Bella]

[Integrity: 80.6% (can be repaired)]

Heading to Melbourne, in a few days on the road, the system has completed the maintenance of the F-111 G type.

The other Type C is not in a hurry, let’s leave the work time to this big guy first.

Xia Yu clicked to directly select preparation.

[Estimated remaining maintenance hours: 496.1]

Good guy, Xia Yu calls him a good guy.

Nearly 500 working hours, which is almost 3 weeks, is really a huge undertaking!

I can't imagine how long it would take to prepare an aircraft carrier.

Probably about the same, because the aircraft carrier will be more complete, just looking at the tonnage.

But Xia Yu is more curious about another thing. The system can retroactively print the weapons and consumables of the vehicle. What about the aircraft carrier?
As we all know, carrier-based aircraft are the main weapons of aircraft carriers. It would be great if they could be printed.

For example, the Yak 141, which Xia Yu is fond of, although it has not been commissioned, has also conducted vertical landing experiments on the Baku, the fourth ship of the Chongfu class.

If you can... forget it.

Tian didn't feel sorry for him. The Baku had long been sold to his third brother by Da Mao and became the Vikramaditya.

It was not as difficult to obtain those prototypes from Osmium Ross as it was to obtain this guy.

But if you have the opportunity, you can buy a decommissioned one, renovate it into a naval-themed military museum, and even open a restaurant on it.

As a gourmet, if you have a certain amount of money, it is normal to enter the catering industry and open a restaurant!
Although the food Xia Yu cooks is not delicious, he can spend money to hire people!
It can only be used as the third phase of the military museum plan to complete the final link of sea, land and air.

For details, please refer to the movie "Battleship".

This is a typical Hollywood bad movie with a crappy plot but good special effects. World War II battleships defeated alien battleships. Science fiction has been transformed into fantasy, but the main guns fired together and the excitement was over.

Aircraft carriers from World War II are hard to find, and they don’t quite meet Xiayu’s special needs, but battleships and U-boats can be found!

These all have specific business operation cases.

With the three elements of sea, land and air together, he can build Bogo Village-Nekale Town-Noire Pier into a trinity open military theme park.

No matter how you think about it, it's very promising, especially with Xiayu's systematic support, which saves more than half of the cost.

Others cannot guarantee that they will not lose money. They will definitely make some money, but it is just a matter of making more or less.

On the other hand, there is a serious and large-scale industry, and Xiayu can make money that cannot be seen in the light of day.

Open a chain of laundry rooms?
That's the operation of European and American gangsters. He doesn't play this trick and goes directly to big projects. He has to say he's awesome to everyone who comes.

After clearing the traces of infiltration, Xia Yu left the working shaft connecting the two tunnels (separated in both directions).

People only come here once every few years, and find that the abandoned shield machine has disappeared. It was a supernatural event that happened a long time ago, and there is no way to contact him.

It was already dawn when we returned to the city. Xia Yu went directly to Chinatown and found a Cantonese restaurant for morning tea.

Lao Yu can almost make ordinary breakfast, but there is still a threshold for morning tea, so he still has to come to the restaurant to eat it.

When his net worth exceeds one billion U.S. dollars one day, he will hire a Cantonese chef to order whatever he wants.

If you have more money, then just open a Cantonese restaurant and arrange barbecue by the way.

With the development of Kongluga, more and more Chinese people will come to mine and do business. Chinese catering is still very promising.

Let go of husband and wife teams and small restaurants. I'm sorry about high-end restaurants and business banquets. Xia Yu can only do this by herself.

After finishing the last tiger skin and chicken claw in the cage, Xia Yu, who was still thinking about his future business territory, wiped his mouth, paid the bill, got in the car, and drove directly to the port.

Melbourne is 4000 kilometers away from Perth, so flying is the fastest way. But since he achieved his goal in more than a day, he gave himself a holiday and took a cruise ship to sail half the circumference.

The tickets for this route were not fully sold out, so Xia Yu bought a ticket with another identity and drove directly onto the ship. "Du~~"

In the afternoon, the cruise ship left the port with its whistle blowing and headed west.

Time passes little by little, but the system's maintenance progress bar moves a little slowly.

In fact, when Xia Yu returns to Afika from Bali, his TBM may not be ready.

But just take your time. Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared anyway, and it will not affect the delivery of the Weasel S30 or the normal opening of the museum.

"duo~~"

After nearly a week of sailing, the cruise ship finally docked in Perth Port.

The leisurely life at sea soothed Xia Yu's nerves strained by training and purchasing goods, and also allowed him to return to work in the best possible condition.

In comparison, whether it is the number 2 group who has been in Perth or the number 1 group who just returned from Queensland, they are all slightly vicissitudes due to high-load training.

Life is like this, Xiayu still has to rely on them to create wealth!

There are only the last two days of the one-month training. The logistics employees of the museum and the company have completed basic self-defense and basic physical training and returned to their home countries for final rest.

They will go to Afika one after another within two weeks to start formal work.

The number 2 group will also return to Kongluga for rest after completing the final devil test.

Of course, if they are willing to return to China, Xia Yu can also take them to Dubai and transfer to Servaiya from there.

Rich and noble do not return home, such as brocade clothing at night.

This is what Xiang Yu said back then. Xia Yu felt that the meaning was not good, so he was not in a hurry to go back. However, this did not apply to his employees, and it was time to give them a long vacation.

After learning the news, the twelve people in the two groups became visibly energetic.

Andre was equally happy. He was temporarily unavailable in Europe, so he could go to China to reunite with his wife and daughter.

No need to go with them, just buy a ticket and fly directly.

What was worse was Lehmann and Kohler. Their commander had already started teaching at Neibi, and they were just waiting for their two assistants.

Fortunately, the two of them also have special teaching allowances. Sergey and the others receive paid leave and only pay basic wages, but they do not have this part of the allowance.

Johnny and the other five veterans, except for Paul, who has a PMC-related job, the other four have either been resting (unemployed) or engaged in other jobs since retiring.

So vacation is what delays them from earning wages and allowances.

Similarly, there are 4 Lao Ke and the other 9 members of the instructor team who want to integrate into the big fire defense family as soon as possible.

Xia Yu said there was no need to worry, the chaotic Afika had plenty of combat missions.

During the month of their training, although Jihuo Defense had suspended its business, the boss's satellite phone was always open.

Xia Yu received four or five negotiation intentions, and one project was more suitable for them.

The difficulty is not too high, suitable for company air-ground coordination, and three combat teams cultivating combat tacit understanding.

Even though Party A is even poorer than Busa, fortunately Xia Yu has other plans. Maybe he can make an exception this time and exchange things for work.

In the city, he returned the car he rented from Queensland to the car rental company's point in Perth. On the way back, he received a call.

"Mr. Sherlock, I am Alexei."

It was that Maozi arms dealer, Xia Yu reacted immediately.

"Hello, Mr. Alexey, we haven't contacted you for a long time."

"Yes, you are a busy man. I haven't dared to disturb you until I find all the old fighters you need."

Alexey spoke flattery skillfully.

After successfully selling the Su-24, he is in a good mood now.

"We haven't started work for more than a month. Where are we busy? Have we found all the fighter jets?"

Xia Yu asked directly.

"We're almost there. We've collected five and loaded them all on the cargo ship, ready to send the first batch over."

There were too many things to be transported at one time, so Alexey also delivered them in two batches.

Delivering the first batch now also allows Xiayu to be prepared.

"I know, I will go back when the time comes."

"Okay, one more thing is that I have a friend who is also in the PMC industry and is interested in entering the Afika market. I would like to get to know you and learn from your experience."

Alexey changed the topic and asked for another thing.

Entering Afika is a normal business practice. Xiayu is not as narrow-minded as White Hat, not to mention that the concentrated fire defense adopts an elite strike mode.

For example, some of the jobs they took in the past did not cooperate with the military operations of Busa and Neibi. Even if they knocked off the hardest bones, it would be difficult for them to defeat the remaining soldiers and turn them into battle results.

Busa has the Anka heavy infantry battalion that he participated in building, and Neibi has special forces trained with the help of the Ying people. The armies of other countries do not have these characteristics.

If no one is willing to cooperate, it would be a good idea to find a larger PMC company and subcontract together.

It’s just that Xiayu hasn’t found a suitable target until now. For example, the Golden Oak Leaf and Blackfoot Alliance, which fought side by side in Pannaca, withdrew from Central Afika directly because of eating the white hat and indigestion. .

Several other PMC companies have not communicated with each other, and they dare not reveal their backs to each other. This time, Alexey's request can be investigated.

"No problem. I will attend the defense exhibition in Bali next week. How about meeting there?"

Xia Yu thought for a while and said.

"That's such a coincidence, I will also be attending the show then."

Defense exhibitions are grand gatherings where not only the military and police of various countries, but also arms dealers, PMC companies, and mercenary organizations gather, especially the equipment defense exhibition in Bali.

At the aviation defense exhibition some time later, the official level was more involved. After all, even if PMC was equipped with fighter jets and drones, most of them were second-hand goods.

None of the new guys are cheap and beautiful, they are all terrifying profit devourers, let alone unwilling to sell them individually.

There is nothing I can do, I can only watch it to satisfy my eyes.

After agreeing on a time to meet, Xia Yu hung up the phone.

"Honey Badger, go and call the rabbit over for me. I want to ask him something."

Touching his chin with a thoughtful look on his face, he gave Duomi a task.

　After studying the TBM for two hours, I was late again. I couldn’t do it without reserves.
