16. The shock of the world
After Andrei left satisfied, Lieutenant General Wu Mao immediately said to the secretary: "Call all the heads of the staff and logistics department, no matter where they are, they must appear in my office within half an hour." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn addition, contact the government, the Prime Minister, the Minister of Finance, and the prosecutor of the coalition government and ask them to come over in the afternoon for an enlarged budget meeting. ”
The secretary's face changed slightly, he didn't know what Andre said to Wu Mao, but he vaguely felt that it would be a very important matter, so he silently took the order, and after a few minutes, a string of colonel-level officers stood in Wu Mao's office.
"Just a few minutes ago, one of the heirs of the Victor family, Mr. Andrei, showed me something." Wu Mao said, and lowered his head to operate on the light curtain, while those staff officers and logistics officers lowered their heads and began to whisper.
"Didn't that Victor come over to negotiate next year's procurement? What did he say to the general? ”
"I don't know, but it should be a very important thing, this kind of emergency convening hasn't been called for a long time."
"Isn't there another Terminator?"
Wu Mao didn't speak, but just glanced at the few people who exchanged ears with his eyes, and the group of people fell silent for a moment, and then he spoke: "This is an epoch-making invention, enough to change the tide of the war. With that, the large light curtain behind him began to play the video that An Tong had given to Andre before.
After only two minutes of watching, the officers were unable to control their emotions and shouted in unison: "This is impossible! ”
"How is it possible that there is a video of the engagement? And it's so clear? This is something that current technology simply can't do! ”
"Check the time and coordinates on this and compare it with our records! I don't believe it's true! ”
"It's been checked, the time coordinates and the course of the battle are completely consistent, this is a sudden encounter that happened at noon the day before yesterday."
"How is that possible? The Academy of Sciences has been conducting research on this for a long time, but has never been able to develop an electronic device that can resist the erosion of double energy, and now you tell me that a capitalist who sells iron has invented this thing? ”
At this moment, these officers also became like Andrei, forgetting their identities and occasions, and discussing noisily, after all, this picture in their eyes was like the discovery of an alien flying saucer, completely subverting their understanding of reality.
"Quiet!" Wu Mao shouted, the scene was suddenly controlled, and the officers stood back in their original positions, looking at Wu Mao with some excitement and some confusion, hoping to get further explanations from him.
"That Andrey. Victor claims that this is the latest invention of one of his private research institutes, and I briefly investigated the institute before you came, and it was just an ordinary place to develop new monitoring equipment, and a steel company belonging to the Victor family only researched low-level equipment to prevent workers from being lazy. ”
"But in the middle of last night, this research institute was acquired internally, and a series of professional and strict confidentiality measures were implemented subsequently, and it seems that no more information can be obtained in a short period of time." After Wu Mao finished speaking, he looked around at everyone and continued to add: "The strategic significance of this thing does not need to be repeated, I want to hear other opinions. ”
An officer from the logistics department was the first to speak: "This matter is somewhat unexpected, but it is barely reasonable. Victor, a man with some brains and foresight compared to the other heirs of their family, has invested in a number of research institutes and formed a charitable fund for students, known as the generous Andre, who can be seen to be a person who pays attention to scientific research, so there is no logical contradiction in this matter. ”
This was a reasonable remark, but he was immediately questioned by his colleagues, and someone immediately said: "But he is a capitalist who smells of copper!" His investment in scientific research is only to better save costs, and it is 108,000 miles away from this epoch-making invention! Are you trying to tell us that a few scientific enthusiasts have come up with results in non-professional research institutes that have not been able to produce in ten years by national research institutes? IMHO, this kind of thing only happens in fiction. ”
"But he did! Instead of questioning how he got this thing, let's focus on other aspects first, such as how did the video come about? How does it work? The other man spoke, and looked at Wu Mao, hoping to get an answer from him.
Wu Mao shook his head and replied: "I have already told the person in charge of the relevant project of the National Academy of Sciences, and he told me that this should be the result of some kind of space instrument, maybe some kind of low-orbit satellite with an ultra-clear camera with anti-jamming ability?" ”
His words immediately aroused the disgust of the officers, and some even opened their mouths to scold angrily: "I! Will this group of national moths only say such things that a three-year-old child knows? What satellite can capture such a clear picture? ”
Human satellites are useless in the face of deep fog, and the captured images will be seriously interfered with by energy swallowing, resulting in only a black blur in the end, although human beings still can't understand why optical observations at such a distance will be interfered with, but the fact is that satellites can't see anything, so even if this video is really taken with satellites, it is definitely an epoch-making scientific and technological progress.
"Satellite research in the field of aerospace is not something that private research institutes can play, and although the Victor family has deep financial resources, they will not throw money in this bottomless pit, I think this should be a new type of equipment." Another said.
Wu Mao still couldn't answer this question, but said: "What kind of thing it is, we will know in two days, this Andre will hold a product tasting meeting at that time, and we will be able to see the truth of the incident at that time." ”
And when there was a heated discussion about this video in the Chinese war zone, Andrei was sitting on the overrail train to the European war zone, ready to sell Antong's probe for the next buyer, although Antong repeatedly emphasized that the production of probes was very low and could not even be supplied in a war zone, but Andre still had to find more buyers.
This is not to drive up the price, but to protect yourself. He knew very well that this small amount of strategic equipment was a very dangerous hot thing, and it was obvious that he alone could not play with it, even if he added the Victor family behind it, no matter how strong a family was, it was impossible to contend with a country or even an entire coalition government.
So he had to find more buyers, let them check and balance each other's competition, and trade according to decent rules, so as to give him a protective umbrella so that he could maneuver safely, although this may make less profit, but he didn't want to be secretly arrested after just two days of making money.
But even so, this is a very dangerous thing, which is why An Tong didn't go into battle himself and finally agreed to divide him into 30%. But in Andrei's opinion, the deal was exciting enough, crazy enough, and at the same time unbelievably profitable, which was very much to his liking, and no qualified capitalist would let go of such a business.
He prefers this dangerous but direct style to Antong to tell him to act in secrecy and form a secret sales channel by setting up multiple channels and multiple leather bag companies, and he remembers Antong's reaction when he heard about his plan that night: "You are really a group of people who can sell their nooses to hang themselves for profit..."
In short, Andrei was very excited, but cautious enough, and after leaving the European command, he did not forget to stop by the patent office...
Three days later, on André's private farm at the foot of the Alps, leaders and experts from all the world's theaters watched a daily defensive battle taking place in the Calais theater with their own eyes.
At the end of the battle, André stood at the end of the long table and said to the crowd, "I know you're curious, what kind of equipment captured such a picture..." But actually—" he said as he took his hand out of his trouser pocket, and in the palm of his hand there was a palm-sized cone-shaped object, which was a probe!
"The future is in the palm of your hand!" The probe in Andrei's hand slowly unfolded, turning into a propeller hovering mode, and slowly flew up in Andrei's fingers.
For a while, there was thunderous applause in the venue...
At this time, on Helun Island, An Tong was separated by tens of thousands of kilometers and witnessed this secret meeting that was destined to be remembered by history, he watched Andre's performance, and sighed helplessly: "Next, I can only wish you good luck." ”
An Tong didn't care much about the next development of events, Andre was confident enough to deal with negotiators from various countries, and was mentally prepared to fight a protracted war, he naturally didn't have the time to pay attention to these things, but was ready to carry out the plan simultaneously on his side.
So the video, which was regarded as confidential by governments and was still in the stage of strict secrecy, quietly appeared on the internal trading platform of exploration and discovery, and An Tong gave this video a rather gimmicky title: "Shocking! A new invention that shook the world", and then set a download cost of 1 gold coin for the video.
Next, he just needs to wait patiently, waiting for this video to slowly ferment on this elite admiral exchange platform, he believes, this will definitely be a new storm. (To be continued.) )
