Chapter 517 The curtain of the arms race of the sixth generation fighter has been opened [three watches, the first one]
Recently, the global media has been lively for a while, and Tianqi Group has really been in the limelight, and Xu Ping'an's actions have won praise from many people.
There is no hard top, no threat, everything is reasonable and legal according to the rules, many people think that this is a manifestation of Xu Ping'an's maturity.
Intrigues and tricks cannot be put on the table, and the fair and honest fight is the time to reflect a person's value, and many people think that Xu Ping'an will definitely use super fish oil and super pancreas as weapons to fight back this time.
As a result, Xu Ping'an did not use it at all, but carried out it in accordance with the laws and regulations, and it seemed that he was fined 500 million euros by the United States, but those who knew the inside story knew that Xu Ping'an's loss was not big at all.
A complete drawing of a small single-man attack submarine, Xu Ping'an sold it for 500 million euros, so many countries were fined 500 million and didn't care at all.
The only thing that hurt badly was the Italian side.
The profits and taxes of the Apocalypse Weapons Company will definitely be drastically reduced, and if 1,500 people are now laid off, these people will need to be given unemployment subsidies, which is not a small amount.
Just when everyone thought that the matter had completely calmed down, something happened to Grumman in the United States, and a group of people attacked Grumman's R&D building in the middle of the night, killing and injuring more than 60 security personnel.
After the news spread, the whole country of the United States was shocked, and the whole world was shocked, who dared to do things in the United States itself, just when people were speculating.
Seven or eight Middle Eastern organizations have declared themselves responsible for this incident, which is a punishment for the United States, and everyone knows that these people simply do not have the strength to do things in the United States.
Xu Ping'an was also wondering, who was so bold and dared to do this kind of thing that he didn't dare to do, it was like Chiguo's slap in the face, this kind of thing was comparable to 922.
A day passed, and Grumman wanted to apply for a protective order in the High Court, and the formula of the airframe material of the sixth-generation aircraft was stolen, and asked the court to rule that the country in the world should sanction the material if it appeared.
These countries must have attacked Grumman's R&D building in order to steal the formula.
At the same time, if you want to buy it, you can buy it with Grumman for two billion euros, regardless of the country, any country in the world.
This time, the court of the United States was very efficient, and it only took one day to approve Grumman's application, and after the news spread, all countries around the world were shocked.
The Black House then made a speech, respecting the verdict of the law that any country that produces this material without a grant from Grumman is involved in the attack.
The Mi Congress will use all means to sanction,
When necessary, directly declare war to defend the interests of domestic enterprises.
Two billion euros in exchange for the sixth-generation aircraft fuselage material formula is not a matter at all in the eyes of many countries, and they have taken this opportunity to send personnel to start negotiations with Grumman.
In just one week, more than 30 countries bought patents, and after the news broke, many people felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't say anything was wrong.
It was so easy to get the materials, and it was too smooth, just because the distribution was leaked, although it was reasonable, but there was always a feeling that made you uneasy.
All the countries that have bought the patent license have gotten the formula, and they are all in pain, and the material is indeed real, and it is also extracted from oil, but it does not say that so much oil is needed.
To refine the materials needed for an airplane, it would take almost 100,000 tons of crude oil, which is how many countries can afford such a large consumption.
Seeing this result, many high-level officials of the country were fooled, and this idea began to flood their brains.
It must be fooled, this is the overall situation that the United States has spent almost two years arranging, the international crude oil prices are weak, and the United States has ruthlessly purchased and stored a number of oil fields at extremely low prices.
Selling patented formulas to the outside world has made tens of billions of euros, and then if you want to refine this material, you need to buy oil, and Mi companies can comfortably earn money for many years.
From the moment Grumman obtained the court's approval, the price of international crude oil has soared, more than tripled in just one week, and is still rising.
The United States has calculated very clearly, and even if some countries know that it is a pit, you have to jump.
Because you simply can't refuse a sixth-generation fighter.
The curtain of the arms race of the sixth generation fighter has been opened, this is a conspiracy, and you must more or less tilt a certain amount of resources in this area.
Xu Ping'an stayed in the UK for a while longer, mainly waiting for the report on the ecological restoration of the English Channel.
Since taking over the contract, the Institute of Marine Ecology has begun to hire people, and hundreds of people dive to the bottom of the sea every day to start cleaning the seabed, artificially creating submarine currents with high-power equipment, and directly cleaning the seabed.
Today is the day when the test report was issued, and Zhao Shenyue, the head of the project team, came to see Xu Ping'an with the report.
"So, there are bacteria on the seabed," Xu Ping'an said with a frown.
Zhao Shenyue nodded and said, "President, the bacteria on the seabed are much more stubborn than we estimated, and the best way is to clean up a layer of seabed, otherwise, the number of bacteria we put in will need to double."
"How much will the cost increase, which way is more in line with our interests," Xu Ping'an looked at Zhao Shenyue and asked.
Sun Wenbin's age is not young, the future Institute of Oceanography needs a new helmsman, Xu Ping'an has already started to inspect the personnel, Zhao Shenyue is only in his thirties, and the Institute of Oceanography can be accepted in ten years.
"It is in our interest to clean up the seabed directly, as cultivating strains is expensive and numerous, and cleaning up a layer of the seabed directly will reduce the living space of this bacterium"
"It's very helpful to transplant some corals for us to transplant some corals for the next step," Zhao Shenyue said seriously.
Xu Ping'an nodded and began to ask in detail, asking very carefully, Isabella listened beside her, not understanding why Xu Ping'an asked so carefully.
Could it be that Xu Ping'an was tempted by this woman, he looked at Xu Ping'an's eyes carefully, and did not find anything abnormal, very clear, without a shrinking expression.
"Go ahead, implement it according to your plan, I support you" Xu Ping'an said with a smile, his eyes full of appreciation.
"Thank you, President," Zhao Shenyue said very politely.
shook hands with Xu Ping'an and left directly, Xu Ping'an sent Zhao Shenyue to the elevator before returning, just sat down and took a sip of tea.
"Don't you have a crush on her?" said Isabella abruptly.
With a "poof", the tea in Xu Ping'an's mouth squirted out directly, and it took a long time for "cough, cough, cough" to recover.
looked at Isabella with a puzzled face, "Why do you ask that?"
"Xu, you need to ask about the results of something like this, why did you delay asking in such detail, I can't think of any other reason" Isabella shrugged her shoulders after speaking.
Xu Ping'an shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Isabella, I really only have a working relationship with her, and today is also the first time I have met her in person."
"The reason why I asked so carefully was because of the Institute of Marine Ecology."
Isabella was stunned and asked puzzledly, "What does this have to do with the Institute of Marine Ecology?"
"Sun Wenbin, the head of the Institute of Marine Ecology, is not young and is expected to retire in ten years, so I have to investigate his successor in advance."
"Most of the earth is ocean, therefore, the oceanographic research institute has a lot at stake, there must be a qualified person at the helm, you know the difficulty of ecological restoration in the English Channel, Zhao Shenyue can be in charge of this project is obviously a capable person"
"I've just asked in such detail to examine her practical work experience, and obviously, she has a lot of practical work experience, and if nothing else, she will have to take on bigger projects in a few years."
"The several research institutes of the Apocalypse Group are the top priority, and they must not be sloppy, it is related to the foundation of the Apocalypse Group, and I must arrange it in advance" Xu Ping'an explained, and Isabella understood what was going on.
An embarrassed expression appeared on his face, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Xu Ping'an, expressing his apologies, Xu Ping'an smiled, picked it up and drank it directly.
"Tomorrow we will leave for France, will you go?" asked Xu Ping'an.
Isabella shook her head, "No, I'm going to design, the professor gave us a project, to design a building with a fusion of classical and science fiction styles, time is running out, I have to concentrate on design, I have found a way to break through"
"However, I am going on vacation in October this year, in Hawaii, and Song and Miao will also go together."
After speaking, Isabella had a sly look on her face, Xu Ping'an shook her head and smiled bitterly, this was notified to them after they discussed it themselves, and the objection was invalid.
The next day, Xu Ping'an arranged for the plane to send Isabella back first, stay one more day, and leave for France tomorrow, wandering around aimlessly during the day.
"Xu" Xu Ping'an heard someone shouting his surname, and turned his head to see that it was Norton.
Hilton Hotel, what is Norton doing here, thinking in his head, he walked over directly, "Hey, why are you here" After speaking, he shook Norton's hand.
"There will be a Christie's auction here, I'm here to participate, are you interested, I heard that this time there are some antiques of oriental civilization on display," Norton said with a smile.
Xu Ping'an was stunned for a moment, the auction, his interest in antiques is not very high, not to mention, there is still a relic being excavated in Colombia, but he is idle, take a look.
