Chapter 345: Annual Event
The appointed departure day will soon arrive.
In addition to Wang Le and his wife, some of the other ten friends from China have met, Yu Hao and Ye Ning are all acquaintances, and there are also fresh faces, Wang Le introduced them to them, and set off after getting to know each other. I didn't even go through the VIP channel, and went directly to the airport with An Feng to experience VVIP privileges.
A white Gulfstream G650 is quietly docked, the gangway down.
Everyone was very concerned about private jets, and they all looked up, and Yu Hao said: "What a beautiful plane!" It feels a little bigger than anything I've seen in China. ”
"It's an intercontinental aircraft." An Feng explained.
"No wonder!" Yu Hao understood, "Its range is at least more than 10,000 kilometers, right?" ”
An Feng nodded: "The full load is estimated to be about 12,000 kilometers, and the fewer people there are, the farther you will fly." ”
"Is it convenient to disclose the price?" Yu Hao asked.
Wang Le said rarely: "You are also going to develop international private air routes?" ”
Yu Hao smiled and said, "Pure curiosity." But I can't afford such a luxury business jet, at most thousands of fixed-wing jets to play with. ”
An Feng also smiled: "It is a new model with an extended range, and it needs 80 million US dollars." ”
Yu Hao said: "Sure enough, it is a toy for the rich to burn money, and if you count the taxes in China, it will cost at least 500 million, and there is no convenient private air line." ”
"That's the good thing about the United States, it's really easy to talk when you have money." An Feng smiled and said sideways: "Everyone, please!" ”
The passengers boarded the plane one after another, when a pickup truck drove up, accompanied by two bodyguards, carrying an exoskeleton box, followed by a tiger. Flying with pets across state lines varies from place to place, but certainly not as convenient as it is now. I don't have to go through any formalities. No one checked anyway.
An Feng walked into the cabin, and the passengers' eyes were all focused on him.
The sudden appearance of a strong tiger made everyone in the cabin have different expressions. Wang Le didn't know in advance, so he didn't tell them, and now they are all staring at the tiger and stunned, which one is this? An Feng saw it. Explained with a smile: "Don't worry, pet tiger, don't hurt people." ”
After some explanation, they were reassured and switched to focusing on the tiger. Wang Le asked, "Are you planning to train it on the spot?" ”
"That's right, it's not too young, it's time to pull it out and practice." An Feng nodded.
"Pet tigers too?" Ye Ning said curiously.
"You don't know!" Wang Le said with emotion, "This guy is not an ordinary tiger, just the training content is something you dare not think." ”
"What's going on?" They asked.
Wang Le picked out some scenes where An Feng trained tigers. What running, boxing, sprint ...... Everyone was shocked when they heard this, this is completely training tigers as people. Look at the beast sleeping in the aisle, if this size explodes, there is no doubt about its destructive power.
A few hours of the journey were spent comfortably, and the plane landed in Austin.
The gun shop sent several cars to pick them up, and after getting off the plane, they drove to the hunting ground without stopping. After getting away from the city. The surrounding area has restored the vast and original style of Texas, and it is full of western style. Enjoying the scenery all the way to An Feng's private territory, it is customary to see the gun shop first.
Because my friends from China are all men, they have a natural love for firearms, and when they come across a gun shop, they are like women who come across a store that sells brand-name bags...... An Feng left them space to visit, and he went to talk to the management of the gun shop. Take a look at Mike's preparations for tomorrow's shooting show.
Mike was in a good mood: "It's going well. According to the occupancy rate of the surrounding hotels, it was full two days ago, and many out-of-towners came by car. This year's event is expected to see twice as many visitors as last year. But we have a good stock of ammunition and are able to cope with three times as many tourists. ”
"Yes, let's continue to bring you an audio-visual enjoyment!" An Feng said.
"The local government also supports us. The annual event has led to the development of catering and tourism in the surrounding area, and now this event is a star project in the local area, with a wide influence. I feel like I can apply to the state government for more lenient conditions, such as the use of small-caliber artillery shells and so on. ”
An Feng asked, "How likely is it?" ”
"There are still opportunities to publicize some good aspects, such as depleting ammunition stocks, so that people can learn about weapons and equipment other than firearms, and expand their knowledge," Mike said. The National Guard could also be involved to ensure security as well as technology. ”
"That's a good idea!" An Feng is also interested in this idea, in fact, the National Guard is the army of the state where it is located, and the commander-in-chief is the governor, and An Feng's faction has a good relationship with the governors of California and Texas, and it is estimated that if he makes a phone call, this matter can be properly arranged.
If this is done, future shooting exhibitions will not only be in the world of automatic weapons, but also rocket launchers, mortars, howitzers, and tank guns. Every year, a large number of ammunition stocks in the US military expire, and everyone can't finish fighting desperately, so of course it's good for someone to buy it.
An Feng wrote down this idea, and prepared to talk to the governor on the phone after the event, selling his face, it shouldn't be difficult, and it was just a matter of a few words for the governor. After An Feng said that he was sure, Mike said that he would make a detailed plan when he went back.
……
In the evening, I sent my friends to live in a nearby hotel, fortunately, I had booked in advance before coming, and there were two kilometers away from the gun shop, and there were many restaurants around, and the conditions were good. After An Feng came back, he also prepared for the next day's activities, in addition to playing with guns, the focus was on "letting the tiger return to the mountain".
Early the next morning, the event was held on time.
There were many more visitors than last year, and there were more than 50 management, police and volunteers on site, but it was still a bit too busy. Now there are also TV stations, ready to record programs. Mike's beautiful daughter Tanya has a good sense of the camera and accepts the interview generously.
An Feng put on the staff's vest, walked around the scene, high-fived the guys, chatted a few words, and checked all aspects of work by the way. By the time we returned to our original positions, the staff who had installed the props at the shooting range had been evacuated in preparation for the opening ceremony, and more oil drums and more explosives had been placed.
This year's event was obviously bigger and more intense than last year's, with hundreds of weapons of different lengths on display, hundreds of gunmen in place, and the cold wind howling. Mike in cowboy boots, jeans, and a cowboy hat appears. He climbed onto the oil drum and pulled out a .44 revolver.
"This old man is really cool!" Ye Ning said with a smile.
"It's true that I've seen some old beauties, a lot of old people, but they all know how to dress up!" Wang Le also said.
Mike raises his left wheel and points diagonally to the sky, his thumb overpowering the hammer. The scene suddenly fell silent, the conversation stopped, and a solemn atmosphere permeated.
"Bang"
After the loud bang, hundreds of continuous gunshots were heard in response. A volley of firearms that can make the cold winter heat kicks off, and the crowd screams with adrenaline-pumping images of burning oil drums, cars on fire, explosions and rolls.
Under the stimulation of pleasure, everyone is willing to pay for it again. It is rare for so many gun friends from all over the world to gather, and this atmosphere promotes everyone's communication, especially the shooting aircraft and aerial firepower projects launched later, and the consumption rate of ammunition is rising in a straight line.
Friends from China are very interested in riding the "Humvee", playing the role of a heavy machine gunner, and flying into the air to shoot with a six-barreled machine gun. As Wang Le said, he was blowing the wind next to him. said that it was rare to encounter something once in a lifetime, and they were all gearing up to try.
Sent two guys to the helicopter. Wang Le turned his head and smiled at An Feng.
An Feng gave him a thumbs up, this guy is interesting enough, he brings all the local tyrants, he just thinks about whether it is exciting enough, and he doesn't care about the cost of bullets at all. A helicopter ride down in the sky is at least tens of thousands. But experience a shooting environment that is close to war. It's worth looking at yourself.
An Feng walked around, and most of the people were satisfied with this annual event. It seems that there is a need to expand the content to make the event more popular...... After that, he went to work in the old business, and in the popular remote control aircraft project, Xiao Lu shot down the model plane in the sky with a few hands. Win applause.
An Feng was indifferent on the surface, and proudly accepted the attention of the ladies in his heart.
In the morning, I left the venue to eat nearby. An Feng and his group also chose a local restaurant nearby, ordered roast beef and potatoes, a few burgers and drinks, and chose two tables to sit down to eat. Most of the people in the store are participating in the event, and the topic is not without guns.
Domestic friends are also full of praise: "It's exciting enough!" I originally thought that going to the gun shop to play with guns was enjoyable enough, and I could brag with my friends when I returned to China, it seems that Wang Le is right, we play these are just small meanings, the real big scene is here, it's hard enough! Brother Feng, I admire you! ”
An Feng smiled: "Just don't indulge!" ”
Ye Ning also has a deep understanding: "It's really addictive, after I broke two oil drums this morning, I can't stop the interest in hitting oil drums, bullets don't need money consumption, I wonder if this activity is so popular, can there be losses?" How big is the investment in each time? ”
An Feng shook his head and said frankly: "Just every time the plane takes off and lands, it is not cheap, and aerial shooting activities seem to have the highest consumption, but they are all loss-making." ”
"Looks like we'd better play less." Someone quipped.
An Feng smiled, and he didn't have to let them accept this set of rhetoric, anyway, he didn't care whether it was profitable or not.
Everyone talked about the afternoon activity arrangement, and An Feng gave a suggestion: "You can continue to participate in the event, there is also a chariot ride in the afternoon, which is just as popular, of course, you can also get on the plane with me and go to a farther place to experience the hunting ground, but the latter is a bit monotonous." ”
After everyone considered it, some people continued their afternoon activities, and some people decided to follow An Feng.
It was also very exciting to follow An Feng, he drove a Bell 205 out and brought five friends with him. After leaving the shooting range, he flew to the hunting ground farther away, he mainly wanted to survey the environment, decide where to take them to hunt tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, of course, he could also play aerial shooting, chase wild boars, and have a lot of fun.
By the way, An Feng flew a plane to see the deep pit he asked to dig, and has invested 100 million US dollars, and the plan is to dig a pit with a depth of 300 to 500 meters, and then invest, continue to widen, and use reinforced concrete to create an underground world that can defend against nuclear attacks.
Of course, the anti-nuclear attack is only a superficial rhetoric, An Feng does not value it, his ultimate goal is to use it as a robot base, and what is currently being excavated is only a prototype, and when the workers are evacuated, the robot will settle in and continue to expand its area by more than five times. An underground factory transformed into a robot.
The key to this money-consuming plan lies in the bots, which, for now, are slowing down indefinitely.
After turning around a few times and explaining a few words casually, everyone was just as incomprehensible as Joanna. He continued on to his next destination, where he had just spotted a herd of pigs, and now he was catching up, perhaps with an aerial shot, which had been abandoned for so long that it had become a wildlife paradise. (To be continued......)
