Chapter 574: 2004 Project

After Socotra was bought, Henry sent a fleet of 20 destroyers to station there. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 At the same time, a construction team was also dispatched to develop the island. In addition, Miracle of the Seas will expand Socotra on the basis of its original one. The area of Socotra Island is 3,650 square kilometers, but at least it should be turned into 10,000 square kilometers, there are many islands and reefs nearby, and the materials for building islands are very sufficient.

Yemen, Oman, and Saudi Arabia near Socotra are all oil countries, so Socotra Island and the nearby seabed may also have oil, and another mission of Ocean Miracle is to explore for oil. Although the Williams Empire will develop more solar energy and use graphene super batteries, it does not mean that oil is not valuable, it is just not as valuable as it used to be.

Henry's crude oil futures will be delivered in September 2005, when Williams Empire will fully launch the graphene superbattery and lay solar-powered wireless charging stations, that is, generate electricity from solar energy and then wirelessly charge the car. However, considering that solar power generation is limited by the weather, therefore, in addition to having solar power generation, charging stations also have a backup plan, that is, to connect to other power stations by laying wires underground, and when the solar energy is not sufficient, other power will be replenished!

Whether it's solar power generation, graphene super batteries, or wireless charging technology, Henry's super energy company has been researching for many years, buying the best companies, recruiting the best talents, and investing the largest amount of money, and its research and development efforts have always been unparalleled, and the technology has been far ahead of the world's current level! In fact, many things can already be taken out for commercial operation, but why not Henry? Because the technology has not yet formed a force to subvert the entire industry, it is easy to startle the snake and make other companies pay attention to these things. Some companies do research these things, but they don't invest heavily in research. Henry is using the golden finger of the crossing, knowing that these things will be super popular in the future, if everyone knows that these things will be popular early, then Henry's golden finger will not be in vain?

If you don't make a hit, it's a blockbuster!

Establish all kinds of patented technical barriers, this is Henry's purpose, and others can't catch up even if they shoot horses!

Henry has been overwhelmed by recent national events, and the Williams empire is expanding a little too fast, and it's time to settle down. Everything was working in an orderly manner, and Henry didn't have to do everything himself. However, some time ago, the threat of the US Fifth Fleet to the empire made Henry a little worried.

The military power of the United States is too strong, and the military expenditure of $600 billion a year makes the Williams empire extremely embarrassed.

Therefore, Henry decided to increase military spending and research more new weapons.

Williams Military Industrial Group is the Williams Empire's own defense company, which is different from the God of War Arms Company, after all, the God of War Arms Company is still inextricably linked with the United States, and most of the engineers in it are Americans. What Henry wanted was a defense company that really belonged to the Williams Empire, so there was the Williams Military-Industrial Group. Many of the technical and talented people of the Williams Military-Industrial Group were obtained from the Ares Arms Company and other defense companies, and although there were Americans among these employees, most of them came from various countries in the world and had different nationalities, and when they joined the Williams Military-Industrial Group, they were required to join the Williams Empire nationality.

The Williams Military Industrial Group is a private asset of the Williams royal family, and in fact it is equivalent to a state-owned enterprise, with a total number of about 250,000 people, and sea, land, and air weapons are all under development.

As for SpaceX, it is also developing weapons, but what it is developing is space weapons. SpaceX is an offshore registered company, not an American company registered in the United States, there are SpaceX branches all over the world. To say what is different, previously, SpaceX was headquartered in the United States, but now, the company's headquarters has moved to the Williams Empire, and more laboratories and factories have been established in the Williams Empire, and a large number of scientific researchers have been transferred from the United States.

In the Williams Military Industrial Group, relatively speaking, Henry is more interested in the Williams Air Force Military Factory. Because if you have air supremacy, you can launch an attack on the sea and land, which will have the initiative and a stronger deterrent to other countries!

On the afternoon of July 1, Henry called the chief designer of the Air Force Arsenal Williams to himself, and then presented him with an idea.

"At the end of 1940, a secret agency called the Demoman Lab-13 was established in Germany, whose mission was to specialize in the study and manufacture of secret flying machines," Henry said. With the assistance of the German military, this secret agency finally produced the most advanced saucer-shaped aircraft at that time -- the 'Belonze Disc,' which we call a flying saucer! According to the publication of the US National Archives, the United States also tried to develop a powerful flying saucer in 1950!

After saying that, Henry asked, "Bruce Hope, do you think we can develop a powerful flying saucer?" In my opinion, the advantages of the flying saucer are very strong, firstly, it adopts a disc structure, and the central axis is symmetrical and uniform in all directions, so that it can turn in any direction; second, it adopts a vertical take-off and landing mode, which can distribute the engines symmetrically at will, and can hover in the air; third, it can install multiple engines and multi-directional engines, and the power is large; fourth, the side projection area is small, and the side radar reflection area can basically achieve a non-reflective state, which is very suitable for air combat. Plus, it can even be used as a space vehicle!"

Bruce Hope is about fifty years old, 1.8 meters tall, wearing a Williams Imperial Air Force uniform, clean and capable, calm and calm, graduated from Oxford University in the United Kingdom, engaged in fighter aircraft research for more than 30 years, before was a top engineer in the God of War Arms Company, and participated in the design of many projects of the God of War Arms Company.

"Your Majesty, flying saucers are more difficult than traditional fighter jets!" Bruce Hope said with a deep sigh.

"Can it be developed?"

"Of course it can be developed, but if you want to become a flying saucer with very powerful performance and functions, the research and development cost will definitely not be low! However, just as Your Majesty just said the advantages of flying saucers, once such a powerful flying saucer is really developed, it can definitely crush all the current fighters!!" Bruce Hope paused, and said, "Your Majesty, such a flying saucer, its size must be very large, because only in this way can more engines be installed! Therefore, the cost will definitely be very expensive!"

"What's wrong with being big, as long as it's powerful, as for the cost...... I believe that with the strength of the Williams Empire, it can still be built!!"

Henry instructed Bruce Hope, "From this day forward, the main task of the Williams Air Force Arsenal is to secretly develop a super-powerful UFO fighter, ...... The code name is 'Project 2004'!!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!!" Bruce Hope stood up and gave a military salute to Henry.
