"But Xiao Asan's little life is not so easy. Although Indians can get this thing from the Americans or Russians, their own scientific and technological research and development strength and metal smelting industry are really too bad, and they can only buy it, but they do not have the ability to develop it themselves. ”

"Uncle Sam and Polar Bear are not good birds, knowing that Ah San can't do it himself, all the asking prices are expensive, and even Ah San, who has always had a tradition of being wronged, can't stand it. It would be a good choice if we intervened at this time, but how to intervene to achieve maximum profit is a question that needs to be carefully considered. ”

"That's right," Zhang Lan thought for a while, yes, this is a problem, "You contact the old men above, and say that we can transfer to them the technology of 550MPa yield strength aircraft carrier hull steel, and at the same time, we can sell them 800-1000MPa yield strength of special alloy steel for aircraft carrier decks, and the cost will definitely not be lower than the technical specifications of HY-80 and HY-100 in the United States and equivalent products in Russia." ”

"It's strange that these guys, who are having a headache, don't have blue eyes after hearing the news." Xiao Chenxi, who knows the psychology of such a group of guys very well, said with a look of approval, "But if you give them like this, isn't it too ......?"

"Well, that's right, not many people will cherish what is too easy to get." Zhang Lan knew the meaning of this girl's unspoken words, "How can it be so simple and cheap for them?" Tell them that if they want to form an aircraft carrier group, we have no problem providing them with the corresponding steel, but we want to get a piece of the pie. We can not mix with destroyers, frigates, submarines and other combat ships, but we must hand over the construction of logistics support vessels such as weapons and ammunition supply ships, oil and water supply ships, and bulk/dry cargo supply ships, which is the minimum bottom line that we want to transfer these technologies to them. ”

High! Xiao Chenxi and Alice gave a thumbs up with admiration: After selling these technologies for a good price, they have to make another profit with them, this kid's account is called a shrewd!

Today, when the combat power of aircraft carrier battle groups is getting bigger and bigger, the dependence of an aircraft carrier formation on logistics is becoming more and more serious, the logistics supply team is becoming larger and larger, and the requirements for supply ships are becoming more and more stringent! It can even be said that the aircraft carrier battle group, which has not had good logistical support, has been doomed to failure even before the war has even begun -- the most fundamental reason why the US aircraft carrier battle group dares to flaunt its might all over the world is that its powerful logistical supply capability has given them ample confidence.

What confidence does a guy who can't even eat enough to bully others?

These logistical support vessels include integrated oil/water supply vessels, ammunition supply vessels, and bulk/dry cargo supply vessels for the livelihood of the people on board. Compared with the aircraft carrier formation, although the combat capability of these supply ships is not very good, but in the main ship performance and technical indicators, they are not inferior to military combat ships. Not a lot of words

But thinking about it, I still feel like I'm a bit of a loss! After all, it is the construction of aircraft carriers and the construction of those combat ships that are really rich in oil and water, but they can't get a piece of the pie! This reality made Zhang Lan quite unwilling.

After thinking about it, Zhang Lan added again, "If they ask us to transfer technology to them, tell them that after they buy 10 billion US dollars of 800-1000MPa steel from us?" We can transfer this technology to them at half price. ”…,

"As for Ah San...... You can't give them such generous conditions, but it's not easy to snatch meat from Uncle Sam and the damn polar bears,"

Lao Maozi wants to make a bargain? Hum! Is there anything so cheap in the world? It's just that Young Master Ben doesn't know, now that he knows, then I'm embarrassed, Lao Tzu won't let you get a penny!

"Hehe, it is estimated that the Russians will be angry with your behavior of blocking the road and robbing this time, I heard that there are only a few points of opinion between your country and Russia that have not yet reached an agreement, but it is said that it is coming soon. But speaking of which, you are also bad enough, so many conditions, you can actually mention it? ”

The little girl smiled happily, her big eyes flashed and blinked, and her face was innocent and innocent, so that there was no way to associate this little girl with the little devil that the Russians had been cursing.

Of course, if you want to sell something, at least you have to have this thing before you can do it, seeing is believing, at least you have to let people see what you want to sell, but this requirement is not a problem for Xiao Chenxi: a technical problem. It has never been a major problem for the development of the Alice Group.

――――――――――――――――

Alice Group is willing to sell us 550MPa specification of special alloy steel? At the same time, willing to sell us 800-1000MPa specifications of special alloy steel? When they first heard the news, the relevant personnel of the military couldn't even believe their ears: what the hell is TMD, when did the Alice Group unknowingly develop a special alloy steel with 550-1000MPa specifications? We haven't developed these technologies for so many years.

In line with the principle of caution and no big mistake, after testing several samples provided by Alice Group, these guys immediately knocked on the door of the office of Vice Chairman Chi of the Minister of National Defense and Minister Cao of the General Armament Department, "Bang! The test report was slapped on the table of the two military bigwigs.

After carefully looking at the things on this report, the two bigwigs did not hesitate at all, and with a stroke of the pen, the negotiation team that was arguing with Lao Maozi immediately suspended the negotiations with Lao Maozi on the introduction of special steel for aircraft carriers and related technologies, and instead started negotiations with Alice Group on this technology...... In any case, the Alice Group is much more interesting than the insatiable, damn old hairymen, at least, they are not so greedy.

Even if both sides have this sincerity, negotiations on this kind of thing cannot be successful in a day or two, and now both sides are prepared for this. However, both sides are obviously unwilling to delay, Alice Group is waiting for this huge amount of money to do their own things, and if it is possible for others to pay for themselves, no one will pay for themselves; The military and the government, for their part, have realized that time is running out on their side, and it would be good to reach an agreement sooner.

But when this news reached the ears of the Americans, the Americans began to be unhappy: I will put up with the cooperation between the two sides in terms of aircraft before, after all, there is no long-range strategic projection platform, and these things will not pose much threat to us, but if it is for the sake of aircraft carriers...... Depend on! This is absolutely unacceptable! Damn the Chinese have two sea combat platforms that pose a huge threat to our aircraft carrier battle groups, and if they have aircraft carriers, they will not be able to suppress them if they want to in the future!

This is also normal, Americans who have the genes of hooligans and villains in their bones will not become polite gentlemen just because they wear suits. It has always been the case, as long as they feel that their opponents have developed, these gangsters and villains will feel uncomfortable - a wolf in sheep's clothing is still a damn wolf at heart. …,

"What to do? What to do? Bush, who was unwilling to watch the damned Chinese acquire these technologies, roared in his office.

"What should I do?" This question has become the most asked question of this poor fellow lately. Of course, this is also a question that the entire Bush team wants to know.

Headache. George W. Bush rubbed his head in frustration. I was so annoyed that although this move of the damned Chinese was not happy, the entire team of George W. Bush tried to find a suitable way from many aspects such as politics, economy, and military, but in the end they were shocked to find that they really had no good way for the time being:

Beat? It seems impossible to fight, and this is undoubtedly doomed; Looking for a little trouble? It turns out that this kind of thing has been done many times, but not one of them has worked;

Politically influential? This question...... The Americans have found that although the government of this country has many outrageous contradictions, and many moths on issues involving their own fundamental interests, it is always miraculous that they can achieve the results they want;

Blockade economically and technologically? The economic blockade seems to be a lose-lose idea, and the Americans, who are essentially treacherous businessmen, will never do this kind of business. Tech blockade? Depend on! Now they've got what they wanted!

For the Americans, the most important thing is that they are now planning to clean up Iraq, and there must be no more waves in the meantime, especially if there is a serious conflict with China at this time, it will definitely be the worst news for the United States.

For a time, Bush Jr. was depressed to discover. It seems that there is really no good way to do it for the time being.

"Let you be proud first, and when I'm done cleaning up Iraq, I'll let you damn guys know I'm awesome!" George W. Bush pounded the table and shouted viciously.

"Sir, here's a report that I think you need to look at." White House Chief of Staff Card appeared like a ghost at this time.

"Huh? What's up? Bush Jr. asked in a letter about the results report. I don't know what's going on, but a bad premonition once again rises in Bush Jr.'s heart.

"In a casino in Las Vegas, there was an unusual terrorist attack that ended in 22 deaths and more than 50 injuries." For the recent occurrence of this situation, there is no expression on Card's face right now...... Basically every day I hear about such things. Ya has become numb.

"It's Ben again. Bin laden? Bush Jr. asked, with a shake in his hand.

"It's Ben again. Bin laden! Card nodded.

"Damn it! Shit！ Fuck！ Sonofa**！ Bush Jr. slammed the report in his hand to the ground, stomped on his feet heavily, and howled like a wounded wolf. Osama bin Laden, I'm not done with you! ”

Alas! Card sighed helplessly in his heart: How many times has this happened? I don't think I can remember clearly. Could it be that the powerful United States has really fallen to the point where it can be bullied?

――――――――――――――――

Zhang Lan didn't care what the Americans were thinking now, while Xiao Chenxi and Alice were busy making the second super-large swordfish, this kid was also busy with the second thing: since the news of Alice Group's successful development of controllable nuclear fission fuel cells has been released, it has become the most urgent thing in front of Zhang Lan to take a practical way to prove his strength.

In Zhang Lan's view, what could be more powerful than personally transforming a large heavy-duty aircraft powered by fuel cells so that it can fly in the air for a long time, and what better proof of the strength of Alice Group in this regard? …,

The news that the Alice Group will purchase an An-124 super-large strategic transport aircraft from the Antonov Design Bureau for nuclear fission fuel cell power modification has once again become the focus of military attention around the world.

All senior military personnel know the meaning and impact behind this news.

At the same time, the modification plan announced by Alice Group has also been rumored:

The Alice Group's modified prototype is an An-124 heavy strategic transport aircraft with four turbofan engines, and the main structure and wing shape of the aircraft remain basically unchanged, but the four turbofan engines previously used on the An-124 will be disassembled and replaced with four large low-noise counter-propeller fans driven by four electric motors developed by Alice Group.

At the same time, the layout of the engine should be slightly adjusted, the position of the rotary propeller fan will be raised from the position of the turbofan engine under the existing wing to the middle of the wing, and the engine body commonly used in turboprop engines will be built into the wing, and the center of the rotating shaft of the propeller will be located in the center of the wing profile.

Such a layout can not only greatly reduce the drawbacks of the large drag caused by the underhung turbofan engine, but also greatly improve the overall aerodynamic effect of the aircraft, and at the same time, the use of the rotary propeller fan will be greatly strengthened

As the core of this modification plan: the location of the controllable nuclear fusion fuel cell is relatively special, since it is not placed in the cabin, nor is it placed in the original fuel tank in the wing, but is placed on the top of the aircraft that is least vulnerable to attack, and there is an arc-shaped drum with a length of 8 meters and a width of 2 meters and a height of less than one meter at the top of the aircraft, which is the core of this modification: the fuel cell.

In terms of space efficiency, this design layout is not the optimal design, but there is no way, since it is modified from a model that has been finalized, it is normal for some situations to be different from the original aircraft.

According to the renovation schedule published by Alice Group, the entire conversion process is expected to last between three and four months.

The Antonov Design Bureau was very cooperative with his boss's request, and immediately took out an airplane from the An-124 air transport fleet under its own design bureau and "sold" it to its boss; when asked by reporters, the Antonov Design Bureau said that it had sent a team of experts and technicians from the design bureau with the most skilled skills and the most experienced in modifying and threatening the An-124 to the Alice Aircraft Manufacturing Company. Assist Alice Group to successfully complete this modification task.

But what makes these reporters crazy is that in the entire modification plan announced, the Alice Group did not disclose the output power of the fuel cell power it used this time, and it cannot be judged based on the carrying capacity of the modified An-124.

However, a piece of news released by the Alice Group later made these guys love and hate the Alice Group: the modification of the power system is only the first stage of the entire modification process, and in the second stage, the cockpit display system, data management system and avionics system of the aircraft will be fully modified, and the shape of the aircraft and wings will also be partially modified. After the completion of the second phase of the retrofit, the technical specifications of this technical demonstration aircraft will exceed the specifications of the existing large aircraft by at least 20 years!

After the completion of the second phase of modification, it can even be said that the new An-124 is completely new except for the fuselage of the original An-124.

――――――――――――――――

"It turns out that the fuel tank inside the wing, is it a bit wasted that such a large space is not used?" Standing in front of the huge An-124 in front of him, Zhang Lan dragged her chin and frowned.

"It's a bit of a waste," Jill frowned at the thick wings, and felt that this was a big problem, "If this plane is an air tanker, this place can put a lot of extra fuel, but if it is used as a normal transport plane......" Jill shook his head.

For a big guy flying in the sky, any waste of space is a shame, you know, the two huge wings of the An-124, but can store a full 55 tons of aviation fuel, 55 tons of loading space is wasted, no one will feel willing, but how should this thing be modified? After all, this space inside the wing ...... It's just too small.

A bunch of Ukrainian big-nosed people have a lot of affection for their faces, and apparently, they are also quite depressed about this issue. In the past, when designing an airplane, I always felt that the space of the aircraft was not enough, and the fuel belt was not enough. It's ironic......
