"How much?"

"The unit price is 200 million yuan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"This is the detailed information of the Il-76 faxed by the Ukrainian airline. Qiu Yi handed the materials translated into Chinese to Ye Qing.

200 million is really not expensive, and the improved Il-76 has a maximum load of 65 tons, which is much stronger than the Boeing 767 leased by Behemoth Industries last time. But the price of a 767 is 600 million yuan.

Although these two were produced in 02, judging by the photos and flight hours, they are far from reaching the aging stage of the airframe.

It is important to know that an airplane is different from a car, and the engine does not affect the life of the aircraft. During the service life of an aircraft, it has to change the flight engine many times. Judging from the average flight life of 60,000 flight hours, the two Il-76s flew only one-third of the data.

At the same time, the Il-76 also has versatility that the Boeing series cannot match.

This is a civilian version of the transport aircraft designed for military strategic transport, and then developed for its excellent performance. Even on low-quality wild hard soil runways, you can grit your teeth and land.

Of course, behind the excellent performance, there are also places that lag behind the Boeing family of transport aircraft.

Otherwise, Ukraine will be reluctant to sell 200 million planes if there is a war again.

The most obvious backward technology with Boeing is economy, the Il-76 has a strong load capacity, but its engine technology is backward, under the same fuel situation, naturally the Boeing cargo plane is fuel-efficient, and the engine life is one-third lower than Boeing.

Another gap lies in electronics.

As we all know, Russian mechanical products, regardless of military and civilian use, have nothing to say about their durability, but the electronic technology is even more backward.

To give a simple example, Boeing aircraft come standard with an automatic flight system and an automatic navigation system, which can do it without human intervention from take-off to landing, and the pilot's biggest task is to monitor them for no mistakes.

Even if something goes wrong, there are multiple sets of electronic aids to protect you.

The Il-76 is not good, its electronic information technology is a mess, and the cockpit is full of mechanical instrument panels.

At the same time, Boeing's flight control system completely eliminates physical connections and is all controlled by computers, and the weight of the aircraft is reduced by 30% compared with the last century. The Il-76 has a large number of mechanical connections, and it is not bad to be able to do 15%.

There is no doubt that these shortcomings of the Il-76 are not a problem here in Behemoth Industries. The more it lags behind, the greater the potential for improvement.

After reading the information transmitted by the Ukrainian airline, Ye Qing immediately had many improvement ideas in his mind. For example, the titanium alloy landing gear, which is lighter but 5 times stronger, can be replaced to meet the requirements of harsher airport runway take-off and landing.

Ye Qing made a decision here, and Ukrainian Airlines said that in three days, it could fly the Il-76 to Huaxia.

In this way, when the two transport planes have completed the settlement procedures, the transformation will be completed. The company's overseas personnel can just complete the training. At that time, employees will be able to fly to Nicanya on the company's own special plane, and it will be more convenient to return to China in the future.

After the morning meeting, Ye Qing contacted the five monsters stationed in Nigaya through the satellite network.

Now in the mountains of the Sotu Rainforest, there is a faceless angry miner hiding. Two mini-processing plants also refine monazite raw ore into rare metal element ore with a mineral content of 70 day and night.

Now they have a new mission.

Behemoth Industries will rent two more Boeing 767s and send the necessary machinery to help the monsters and command local construction workers to build an improvised field airport.

At the same time, Ye Qing also contacted the monsters on the Giant God engineering ship.

Twenty days by sea.

The Titan is going to cross the South China Sea to the Strait of Malacca. It then crosses the Indian Ocean, crosses the Strait of Mozambique, and reaches its final destination, the Gulf of Guinea. Along the way, the Titan traveled 17,000 kilometers.

"Boss, we have arrived in the Sea of Malaysia, and according to the electronic charts of satellite positioning, we still have two days to go before entering the Strait of Malacca. ”

"Is the road smooth?" is a giant of the seas that is comparable in size to an aircraft carrier and has a huge crane boom more than 50 meters high. Passing ships compare to it like the difference in physique between a hound and a tiger. If you stand on the edge of the pier and watch, you can't even use your eyes to see all the Titan's engineering ships, only the vast growth from the pavement.

Because of the huge size, Ye Qing was worried that there would be some busy sea areas and would ask the Giant God engineering ship to make a detour.

"There were a lot of American ships around us who were on their way to Malacca, and they were constantly greeting us on the public radio channel. Call us Titans heroes, they have a spicy whiskey and a good Cuban cigar, and they are ready to welcome us aboard. ”

Malacca and the Malaysia Straits are one of the busiest shipping routes in international shipping.

Sailing here is not about finding other ships, but about not colliding with other ships. Driving a ship is not like driving, the larger the ship, the more obvious the delayed operation effect. Therefore, the ship is equipped with an AIS automatic identification system, and when it is turned on, it can send the speed, position, and ship information of the ship. Like a radio, it is used to remind surrounding ships to avoid it.

This is also the reason why the nearby American ships frequently pay homage to the Titan.

"These American sailors are also interesting enough, and they haven't forgotten the great rescue operation of our Titan. Ye Qing thought to himself that if he was also on the boat, he could take a small boat to say hello, after all, there is no boundless ocean, and this kind of interaction can greatly reduce the boring journey.

"Alright, I wish you all a smooth journey, and report back to me once you pass through the Strait of Malacca. ”

"Understood, boss. ”

……

In 16 days, the Titan, riding the wind and waves, will be able to reach Nigaya. At that time, it happened that the field airport in the mining area could be completed, and 100 company employees rushed to the surroundings of the Suotu rainforest to carry out vigorous construction.

Every time he thought of this, Ye Qing would be in a surging mood.

If you are now ranking domestic private industrial companies, the giant beast industry is definitely not the largest one. But it must be the one with the most cash flow and the strongest hard industry.

What company can build a field airport on a poor African continent in 15 days?

Even if it's simple.

At the same time, the two cargo planes of the second batch of supplies can also carry 80 tons of rare element ore powder from Nigaya.

It's a pity that the stock of dysprosium metal in the factory has been used up, and the sales of thunder cars will fall into a tense period of half a month.

"Just take advantage of this half month to focus on the approval of the remote driving project, and strive to win the project in one fell swoop!"

Thinking of this, Ye Qing transferred to the background and checked the official website complaints so far.

I don't know whose interests have been touched by the remote driving feature, from the launch of the publicity to the present. Ye Qing can obviously perceive that on the Internet, there is an invisible hand that is guiding public opinion and public opinion in a very negative direction.

With the remote driving function as the negative spearhead, it is directly aimed at the giant beast industry, which was reported to Ye Qing by several managers at the morning meeting.

The number of complaints on the official website has dropped a bit, and Ye Qing is planning to go online again to see if there is any mention of this in today's mainstream media news. Yang Baihe, the manager of the Propaganda Department, suddenly knocked on the door in a hurry.

Yang Baihexiu frowned and handed over the tablet, "Boss, look at this." ”

On the tablet was a magazine photoshoot, Ye Qing looked down, and his body shook.

This is a magazine shoot of Time magazine, which is talked about by countless people and regarded as a kind of glory, and on the cover of Time Magazine, a mysterious and majestic monster logo is impressively printed.

This is the logo of Behemoth Industries.
