The HSD in early September was still hot, the sun was hanging high in the sky, and the asphalt of Constitution Avenue was steaming hot. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Constitution Avenue is the center of power in the United States.

On the left side of Constitution Boulevard, there are many gray-and-white marble buildings with similar appearances. These buildings are the headquarters buildings of important government functional institutions.

The Energy Bureau, which is responsible for the management of the energy industry, the research and development of energy-related technologies, and the development of weapons, is located in it.

In the whole gray and white building, the air conditioning is very sufficient.

But the director of the energy bureau, Aklan, sitting in the cool office, looked a little restless and a little hot. And across his office, sat Martin, Tesla's chief consul, and Bertram, the president of Raytheon Technologies.

These two people also unbuttoned their top-notch suits, and their foreheads sweated slightly.

Since the advent of plasma batteries, the three have had many video conferences and met twice. We're already familiar with each other, so there's no need to pay too much attention to etiquette at this time.

The reason for their nervousness was twenty overhead photos.

As early as Tesla, through special channels, transported a thunderbolt car to the United States for dismantling and research. The Ministry of Energy has paid great attention to the core technology of plasma batteries.

Not to mention that it is now the 21st century network society, even before the birth of the Internet, semiconductor technology is still in the era of electron tubes, and the United States' intelligence-gathering capabilities are still terrifyingly powerful.

The Department of Energy's collection of information on plasma batteries is so smooth that it doesn't even need to find people to hack into the Behemoth Industrial Building. The main raw material components of the plasma battery can be sorted out from the external information. When Tesla comprehensively analyzed the plasma battery, it has also deduced a part of the production process of the plasma battery.

Of course, knowing and being able to do it are two different things.

Ye Qing bluntly told Martin that their American supporting industrial technology could not meet the requirements of producing plasma batteries.

It is also true that even with the full production process, plasma batteries still cannot be found in American factories.

Americans are proud, but they are not arrogant enough to think that they are technologically advanced enough to be world leaders in all fields. Just like RB industrial robot technology is world-famous, Huaxia Heavy Industry is behind, German five-axis machining center is well-known, and Swiss precision instruments are of outstanding quality.

In many areas of technology, the United States is not leading.

The strength of the United States lies in the fact that it has the most advanced core industrial technology. For example, the most advanced electronic chip technology, energy technology, aerospace technology, nuclear industry technology, and military industry technology. Mastering these is equivalent to mastering the world.

But now, plasma batteries have appeared. It is one of the core energy technologies, significantly exceeding the technology that the United States has now.

Crucially, Behemoth is reluctant to share with the United States.

This shakes to the core interests.

So the Energy Bureau, which was bound to get the plasma battery, decided to take a different approach after many failed negotiations with the Behemoth Industry.

Through the information they gathered, they found that the production of plasma batteries requires an extremely critical rare metal - dysprosium. It can be said that the more or less dysprosium metal determines the amount or lack of plasma batteries. Now the price of the global dysprosium metal market has risen by 30 percent, which is directly related to the giant beast industry.

After Martin's private negotiations failed, the Department of Energy decided to replace the plan in exchange for dysprosium metal to attract Behemoth Industries to build factories in the United States.

This shows the status of the Behemoth industry in the minds of Americans.

And then ......

A series of large-scale overseas investment and factory construction plans of Behemoth Industries have caused the Ministry of Energy to shift its attention to Nigaya.

This shifted his gaze, but the head of the energy bureau, Akram, was almost half scared to death. In just one month, the giant beast industry purchased heavy transport planes, dispatched giant ships, and dispatched employees to invest tens of billions of yuan in the construction of factories in the poor countryside of Nigaya.

Two field workers infiltrated the Anu Special District, and the news sent back made Aklan's mood fall to the bottom.

Behemoth Industries has entered the Anut district in a big way for a mine. Later, the two field workers, taking advantage of the night, collected ore around the Suotu rainforest, after examination, also confirmed the suspicion of the director of the energy bureau, Aklan.

It is a rare earth metal mine with very considerable reserves, and among them is the presence of dysprosium.

"Both, do you have any suggestions?" Akran put down the stack of photos in his hand and frowned, "In just one month, Behemoth Industries has built a factory prototype around the Sotu Rainforest. Among them, there is even a mini-factory, which is already in operation. The cargo arrival report of the transport plane at Dubai Airport also confirmed that the transport plane was carrying radioactive industrial raw materials. ”

This shows that Behemoth Industries has obtained the first batch of raw materials for dysprosium metal. ”

"Our plan to use dysprosium metal to co-opt the Behemoth Industry has failed before it even began. ”

"It's unimaginable that in one month, the giant beast industry can build a prototype of a factory with a scale of 200,000 square meters thousands of miles away. And the Titan, I assert, with the level of heavy industry in our United States, we can't build this giant ship. Martin was still flipping through the photos one by one.

The photos are from a reconnaissance satellite deployed in high-altitude orbit.

The resolution of the photo is two meters, and the director of Akram deliberately used the resources of the Pentagon. When a reconnaissance satellite numbered 065 passed over Nigaya, it adjusted the angle of its optical reconnaissance equipment and aimed at the Suotu rainforest and took these photos.

"It's not surprising that you can't build a Titan. Bertram, president of Raytheon Technology Company, said with a wry smile: "The 21st century is the century of electronic technology. The level of our heavy industry has declined sharply, and the original Batumi embargo list clearly stipulates that hydraulic presses of more than 30,000 tons are strategic materials and are prohibited from being exported to China. But last year, our company wanted to buy a 50,000-ton hydraulic press, and we found that Huaxia's products were the most cost-effective. ”

"Now in the list of the Batumi embargo, there are still provisions on the retention of more than 30,000 tons of hydraulic presses and the prohibition of exports to China. But if we want to buy more than 30,000 tons of hydraulic presses, we have to go to Huaxia to buy them. ”

"Isn't it ridiculous, you say?"

"Heavy industry has low profits, it's not that you businessmen don't want to build it?" Director Akran waved his hand, disapproving, "It's not that we can't build it, but after we build it, we can't compete with China." ”

"One of you will be responsible for the production of plasma batteries in the future, and the other will be responsible for the militarization of plasma batteries. Let's not talk about heavy industry first, but solve the problem at hand. ”

"That hellish place in Nigaya is not a giant beast industry, and I don't know that there is still this country on Earth. Bertram of Raytheon's pointed to a photo of workers with a large number of black skin, and thought, "Since the Behemoth Industry can find a local puppet to work with, then we can also support one." ”

"The CIA is the best at this, giving dollars and resources, and letting those warlords in Nicanya go and capture the Anu Special Zone. Behemoths is technologically strong in industrial technology, but in terms of military equipment, it is inferior even to a tiny African Morocco. ”

"As long as the Anu district is captured, the mine will no longer belong to the Behemoth industry. ”

"Behemoth Industries military technology is not good?" Martin scoffed, "You must have forgotten the fear of being dominated by that gyroscope, and you haven't violently cut the plasma battery." ”

"Do you see the ten vigilance robots in the photo?"

"If the Behemoth Industry wants to, they will be able to arm the area around the Sotu Rainforest into a steel fortress in a very short time. ”

Bertram, a well-known defense contractor in the United States and a master of cutting-edge technology in the field of missiles, laughed out loud, "Mr. Martin, the gap between civilian and military technology cannot be bridged by relying on these robots." ”

"The vigilance robot is very advanced, but a single anti-tank missile can definitely destroy it completely. ”

"What about the Behemoth industry leading the way in the field of metal materials? they can only produce shields, but not spears. It is even more unable to cope with the full-band electromagnetic suppression, the GPS system is turned off, and this cruel war situation. ”

"Besides, I haven't seen it yet, there is a 'shield' that can't be pierced by shell-piercing shells. ”

"Then we will become mortal enemies with the Behemoth Industry, don't forget, the roots of the Behemoth Industry are in Huaxia. We can move their overseas factories, but we can move the Huaxia factories? Will the Huaxia government sit idly by?"

"We are businessmen, and win-win cooperation is the best way. Martin immediately retorted.

"Then cut off their traffic. "Bertram is a weapons dealer, and he has a very different style from a businessman like Martin, who is based on the civilian market. He always believed that the threat of force was the fastest and most effective way to deal with the enemy.

"Nigaya is tens of thousands of miles away, and the only way to communicate is the ship and the plane. ”

"As long as these two channels are cut off, they will once again be in the dilemma of lack of metal dysprosium. ”

This time, Martin was silent.

Business cooperation communication has failed three times. Now that the Behemoth Industry has found a stable supply channel of metal dysprosium, it is indeed a no-brainer to cut off the communication line of the Behemoth Industry.
