819 Technology Exchange
The computer was successfully developed, and the next step was to further improve, and now the computer calculates 2,000 times per second, which does not make Lin Fei feel at ease, Lin Fei must further increase the number of calculations on the computer.
This computer was named "Snow No. 1" by Lin Fei, the purpose is to commend Ling Xue, there is only one at present, the others are still being manufactured, because there are too many parts needed, so this type of computer can only be produced in three months, which is simply not enough for many technical projects.
Lin Fei could only give priority to the calculation of the "aircraft carrier project" and the "aircraft project", and other projects were suspended.
Lin Fei took Ling Xue home, and Ling Xue was completely immersed in the joy of having a baby soon, and she walked flutteringly.
A few days later, on July 10, a British technical delegation arrived in China to begin negotiations on the purchase of technology.
Of course, Lin Fei will not personally take action in the matter of purchasing technology, after all, this matter is not a big deal, and Lin Fei will definitely make people suspicious if he wants to attend the negotiation in person.
Lin Fei let the shipbuilding expert Yu Zhe be in charge of the negotiations, Yu Zhe used to be a shipbuilder, the era of building ships, when he built a warship for the Sulu Sultanate, the Spaniards were defeated, and later, the Spaniards captured him, was rescued by Lin Fei, and since then he has returned to Lin Fei and built a warship for Lin Fei.
Yu Zhe later learned warship manufacturing technology under the guidance of Lin Fei, and was later sent by Lin Fei to American universities and factories for further study, and at this time he was already the chief shipbuilding expert of the Chinese Empire.
Yu Zhe was joined in the negotiations by Wang Ruihe, the manager of the Foreign Trade Corporation, who was originally a big businessman in the Philippines and later returned to Lin Fei.
Although all countries in the world are well aware of the real purpose of Lin Fei's purchase of technology (they don't know about aircraft carriers, they think Lin Fei wants to build battleships), but the superficial work still needs to be done.
On the British side, the British Armstrong Company came to negotiate, which was one of the most famous shipbuilding companies of this era, building many types of warships for the British Navy, and also sold warships to the Beiyang Fleet of the Qing court, by which time they had mastered the technology of building large warships and steam turbines.
The person sent by Armstrong to negotiate was Nasrter, the general manager of Asia, a tall, thin guy in his fifties, a typical businessman who could not afford to make a profit.
Lin Fei asked Yu Zhe to negotiate with Nasralt, while he was in the room next to the conference room, using a bug to listen to the movements in the room.
The polite words between the two sides ended quickly, and Yu Zhe cut to the chase, "Mr. Nasrter, our Huaxia Empire wants to buy large-displacement shipbuilding technology and steam turbine technology, and you also know that our Huaxia Empire has a vast territory and needs larger and faster ships to transport goods. ”
Nasrest smiled coldly, "Mr. Yu Zhe, there is no need to detour between us, I know that the Huaxia Empire bought these technologies to build large battleships, and our British Empire would not sell such key technologies." ”
When Nasrev said this, he was deliberately putting obstacles in the way for Yu Zhe to pay a higher price, and if Britain was really unwilling to sell technology, it would be fine.
When Yu Zhe heard Nasrest say this, he no longer hid it, and said directly: "That's right, we bought these technologies to build battleships, let's make a price, I know that Armstrong is a commercial company, and will not give up commercial interests." Lin Fei's strategy for Yu Zhe is this, first use money to buy technology, and if money can't impress the British, then propose a technology exchange.
"Although we will not give up our commercial interests, we have a non-disclosure agreement with the British military, and we cannot sell such a critical technology."
"We're going to trade our technology for that."
A smug smile appeared on Nasrter's face, "Good, what technology do you want to come up with in exchange?" ”
"It depends on what technology you want?"
"We don't have many technologies we want, so let's take out the list of technologies." Nasrev looked back at his assistant, who took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Nasralt, who placed it on the table and pushed it in front of Yu Zhe, "Please take a look." ”
Yu Zhe glanced at the contents of the document, his heart jumped suddenly, and he secretly exclaimed, the appetite of the British is too big.
Yu Zhe didn't say anything on the surface, and said with a faint smile: "Regarding these technologies, I need to go back and discuss with the people in the military, you have a confidentiality agreement with the British military, and we also have a confidentiality agreement with the military of the Huaxia Empire." ”
Nasrev agreed, got up to say goodbye, Yu Zhe immediately handed over the documents given by Nasrev to Lin Fei, Lin Fei was shocked into a cold sweat after reading it, and saw that it was written on it - a full set of technology for hell-class submarines, key technologies of Monkey King's airship, overall rocket technology and subsystem technology, and high-efficiency gasoline refining technology, followed by the details of the purchase of these four technologies.
These four technologies can be said to be where all Lin Fei's advantages lie, submarine technology needless to say, is the guarantee of Lin Fei's superiority at sea, Lin Fei can dominate the ocean without large battleships, relying on submarines.
The key technology of the Monkey King's airship, including helium production technology, with helium, Lin Fei's airship can be both safe and highly buoyant, which is the foundation of Lin Fei's air superiority.
Rocket technology brought Lin Fei a huge advantage in land warfare, especially individual rockets, which gave the Chinese infantry the strength to fight against artillery fighting vehicles.
High-efficiency gasoline refining technology is the core technology of Lin Fei to dominate the world trade market, and it is also the guarantee to promote Huaxia currency to become the world's currency.
Once these four technologies are given away, Lin Fei will be directly deprived of his superiority in naval warfare, air warfare, land warfare, and economic warfare, which will cause great damage to the status of the Chinese Empire as a great power.
The British did not have the technology of artillery chariots to plunder, which shows that the British no longer looked down on it, and Britain must already have artillery chariots that are not much different from the fire of invasion.
Lin Fei's face was cloudy, and Yu Zhe reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, we can't promise the British, these technologies must not be given away." ”
"We can't bear the wolf, we have to give some key technologies." In order to obtain the technology of building large ships and steam turbines, Lin Fei really gave up.
Lin Fei pointed to the Monkey King Airship Technology and Rocket Technology, and said to Zhe: "I can sell these two technologies, and you will say so when you negotiate with Nasrev tomorrow." ”
Airships will definitely be eliminated by aircraft, and if they are sold, they will be sold, and the rocket technology, alas, although it is a little distressing, but for the sake of aircraft carriers, it will also be sold.
The next day, Yu Zhe continued to negotiate with Nasrter, when Yu Zhe proposed to only sell Monkey King airship technology and rocket technology, Nasrev's face brushed off and walked away, Nasrter's assistant said lightly on the side: "Mr. Yu Zhe, it is impossible to rely on these two technologies alone." ”
The negotiations were forced to be terminated, Yu Zhe hurriedly went to Lin Fei to discuss, Lin Fei thought for a while, and said: "Nasrev is putting pressure on us by doing this, if we give in, we will lose more technology, so let's hang Nasrev for a while, and then discuss the rest of the matter." ”
The technical negotiations between the Chinese Empire and Britain were temporarily silent, but what Lin Fei didn't expect was that that night, Nasrest actually came to the palace and asked to see Lin Fei, which was a private request.
Lin Fei was surprised and confused, but he still agreed to come down and meet Nasrev in the palace reception room.
When Nasrest saw Lin Fei, the first thing he said was: "Mr. Lin Fei, your palace is simple enough." ”
"This was originally the Governor's Palace of the Spanish Governor, I didn't build a new palace, don't talk about this, what do you want to say, just say it."
"Recently, I've been talking to your country about a technology exchange, and I'm sure you're in control of the whole process behind the scenes, right?" Selling technology is related to the national capital of the Chinese Empire, Lin Fei can't help but participate, Lin Fei knows that it doesn't make sense to deny it now, so he said: "That's right, I did participate." ”
"Okay, Mr. Lin Fei, if you promise me one condition, I can agree, let you exchange airship technology and rocket technology for large shipbuilding technology and steam turbine technology."
Lin Fei's heart trembled, what conditions are so heavy that they can let the British sell those two key technologies, could it be that Nasrev wants to make territorial claims?
Lin Fei waved his hand, "Mr. Nasrter, if you want to exchange technical things for political things, I advise you to avoid being respectful, otherwise it will make both of us unhappy." ”
Nasrev laughed, "Of course not, I'm not going to make political claims, I just want a technology." ”
Lin Fei was even more surprised, what kind of technology could have such value that could make the British give up their thirst for hell-class submarines and gasoline refining technology.
Lin Fei suppressed the surprise in his heart, pretended to be calm and asked, "What kind of technology is it?" ”
Nasrev smiled slightly, his lips moving slightly, "This technology is computer technology, in other words, the technology involved in the Zero Snow Project. ”
Nasralt's words almost made Lin Fei jump up from his chair, Zero Snow Project, computer, these are all top secrets, how did Nasrev know?
