Chapter 531: Satellites

Sun Cheng didn't know that on the night of his return to Nandu, in a workshop under the Shencheng [Precision Instrument Manufacturing Company], several people who seemed to be of a good status gathered here.

At the head was an old general in military uniform, who looked to be in his sixties.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ Wu Dong, what are the results of the test of these two lithography machines? ā€

The old general is General Chen Jichang from the [Equipment Department], as one of the main persons in charge of the research and development of national defense equipment in the Xia Kingdom, two cutting-edge lithography machines that are enough to affect the innovation of national defense equipment have entered the country, and this veteran general who has been engaged in the construction of national defense armaments for more than 40 years can bear it.

After hearing the news, he rushed to Shencheng from the southern capital as soon as possible.

It is not surprising that the old general will be so anxious, with the rapid development of military science and technology, various electronic products with chips have long been more than ordinary consumer goods.

In the field of national defense and military, more and more cutting-edge military equipment, the demand for chips has become higher and higher.

To take the simplest example, the various air defense and fire control radars equipped by the army, navy and air force have very high requirements for chips.

In the past, because the process accuracy of the lithography machine was not up to standard, the gap between Xia Guo and European and American powers in the field of radar production was very obvious.

The lithography machine manufactured by himself is not advanced enough, and Ames also strictly guards every lithography machine sold to Xia Guo.

They installed a large number of sensors in the lithography machine, and once they found that they had been disassembled or used in the military field, they would remotely lock it through the background, turning it into a scrap product that could no longer be used.

For such waste products, AMES will not only not provide after-sales maintenance, but will even bite back and freeze the lithography machine sales agreement that has been reached with Xia Guo.

Therefore, Xia Guo has a very large demand for advanced lithography machines, and even raises them to the height of national strategy.

What's more, behind the two lithography machines, there is also a secret channel that is very likely to change the control of the cutting-edge equipment of the Xia Kingdom, and the old general has to pay attention to it.

The old general was questioned by a man in his fifties, dressed in a coffee-colored suit with a faint smell of alcohol.

His name is Dong Qizhen, the chairman of the [Precision Instrument Manufacturing Company], and at noon he was in Sichuan Province to attend a banquet held by the local government because of the landing of a new production base, and he was told that he was told to rush to Shencheng as soon as possible.

It was also after he came to Shencheng that someone from the State Control Bureau informed him that there were two sets of equipment secretly purchased by the state, which were about to be sent to [Precision Instruments], and he needed to send someone to receive them and test them by the way.

Although the itinerary was disrupted by the sudden arrangement, Dong Qizhen has been in charge of [Precision Instruments] for several years, and as the helmsman of this old state-owned enterprise, it is not the first time he has experienced this kind of thing, so although the alcohol in his body has not completely decomposed, it is not chaotic at all.

"General, after a thorough test in the laboratory, the conclusion reached is exactly the same as that of the first test in the afternoon. These two lithography machines, which the State Control Bureau does not know from what sources, are indeed advanced equipment at the 14nm level......"

Dong Qizhen arrived in Shencheng by plane three days in the afternoon, and after learning what happened from the general manager, he stayed in the laboratory and witnessed most of the test.

Although [Precision Instruments] is not directly engaged in the production of national defense military equipment, the instruments and equipment used by many national defense enterprises and laboratories in Xia need to be purchased from them.

However, Dong Qizhen also knows that national defense units should also need these advanced equipment.

So he asked, "General, do you want to leave one for research and wait for other units to take over, as in the past?" ā€

After the old general received a very positive answer from him, he was in a good mood, and his face couldn't help but be full of smiles.

Hearing this, he shook his head, "These two lithography machines, let's stay on your side first." There should be a few more in the future, and I have been waiting for so many years, and I don't care about waiting for a few more months. ā€

The old general still had a layer of meaning, but he didn't say it.

The National Security Bureau has recently been investigating Sun Cheng and the [PĀ· C.F], but nothing has been investigated yet.

For the sake of national defense security, it is impossible for the [Equipment Department] to let the two equipment that have not passed the safety test enter the field of national defense equipment production for the time being.

The old general did not stay long in Shencheng, and after witnessing it and getting the answer he wanted, he quickly returned to Nandu by car.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ Yes, Your Excellency the President...... The equipment has passed the performance test of [precision instruments], and it is indeed two advanced lithography machines at the 14nm level...... However, due to time constraints, the safety inspection has not yet started, so I will arrange it and carry out the ...... as soon as possible."

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ We don't know the results of the NSA investigation, and we still have a lot of scruples for the time being......"

"Oh? Do you mean you can give the other person a little more trust......"

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ I know...... There are still some special equipment purchases for this year here in the Equipment Department, and I will make a detailed purchase list and submit it to you after I go back......"

"Yes, we cherish this opportunity!"

Sun Cheng obviously didn't know how busy the night had become because of him.

In fact, he was just as busy himself.

He only fiddled with the sleeping pod for a while, and solved a few small problems that he had discovered not long ago that he hadn't had time to solve.

After that's done, there's still some time to see.

Sun Cheng simply took out Xiao Wu from his inner pocket, "Xiao Wu, start the No. 1 satellite, I need to ...... the disaster situation over there [Nublar Island] as soon as possible."

The black market is a good thing, and many things that ordinary people can't imagine can be bought here.

And that includes satellites!

Although the vast majority of satellites orbiting the earth belong to various countries, there are also many private satellites launched by commercial companies, among which meteorological and hydrological reconnaissance satellites and communications satellites are the most numerous.

Satellites orbit in outer space, have a very short service life, and are very expensive.

Therefore, many European and American commercial companies will sell satellites on the black market when their life is about to end, so they don't care what black warlords they sell their satellites to, or what kind of big 1 drug and 1 tyrant.

It is only necessary to announce on the bright side that a certain satellite has been scrapped due to failure, and there will be hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars in income.

Ever since he sensed the convenience of satellites in the [Transformers Universe], Sun Cheng has been pondering how to get a few satellites for his own use since returning to reality.

By chance, his miniature Decepticons accidentally discovered a satellite black market when they were exploring the world's major dark webs, and because of this, a deeply hidden special trading market was learned by Sun Cheng.
