Chapter 52: Vera Lopez
He Su left Tianqing Industry with the research progress report given by Gu Cheng, which is no better than civilian products, even if the product is developed, the specific amount of production cannot be determined by Tianqing Technology, but by the military.
Only when the amount of the purchase order is determined can the corresponding scale of production be determined.
However, even if Gu Cheng's development speed is calculated on a monthly cycle, it is definitely impossible to include equipment in the list this year, and a high-tech weapon and equipment needs large-scale testing, and after passing a series of rigorous tests, the equipment will be determined, and then a formal purchase order can be issued to Tianqing Company.
Preferably to be able to pass the combat test.
However, I am afraid that it is impossible to carry out actual combat tests in China, so this year's focus is on the upcoming Zhuhai Air Show.
……
At the same time, while the commercial capital was at dusk, Atlanta in North America, another hemisphere, was breaking the dawn at this moment.
In an ordinary house, a 19-year-old girl is packing her luggage, and she has a perfect face that makes people blush and beat heartbeat.
The girl had almost packed her luggage, only a few simple clothes, not even cosmetics, her perfect face like collagen had basically saved the cost of cosmetics, and her suitcase contained most books and design drawings.
She looked around her bedroom to make sure everything was done.
The girl's bedroom is completely different from other girls of the same age, the wallpaper is not a superstar, nor is it a landscape painting, but a large number of weapon models, and they are all all kinds of new concept weapons that she designed or envisioned.
In a moment, she returned to her desk and found a piece of paper and a pen, and after deep thought, she silently began to write.
"Dad, you have been on combat missions overseas for many years, and I have been staring at home, staring..."
"Remember that Christmas night? I became the only survivor of the terrorist attack, it was my mother who protected me with her body, and she left me forever at that moment. Going through something like this can have the opposite effect on a different child, it can make her hate everything related to it for the rest of her life, or it can make her more focused and even enthusiastic about these things, which I was already in the latter category at the time of six."
"My mother's departure was a turning point in my life, and my former loneliness and sorrow suddenly turned to hatred."
"Then you let Uncle David, a retired Marine, take care of me, and it was at Uncle David's that I was first exposed to guns, grenades and even RPGs, and that's when I fell in love with weapons."
"When I was in the fourth grade of elementary school, you finally came back, but I knew you still had to go, and at that time, when you saw that I was a young man, I was better at shooting than my uncle, and you finally realized the seriousness of the problem, and you scolded my uncle who taught me how to use weapons."
"Since then, Uncle David has taken me through music, art, and literature, and I know that both you and Uncle David are trying to nurture my normal beauty as a girl, but it's too late Dad."
"As for the knowledge of music, art, and literature that cultivates temperament, the only thing that can bring me now is a deeper understanding of the beauty of weapons."
"Dad, when you read this letter, I was already working for Lockheed Martin, one of the best military companies in the world. Maybe in the not-too-distant future, you'll be able to use the weapons and equipment I designed."
……
The girl went out of the house with a suitcase, and stuffed the letter into a mailbox not far from the street, although in today's rapid development of technology, a phone call can solve the communication between two places far away, but the paper letter still has its irreplaceable meaning.
At about 14 o'clock in the afternoon, the girl took a flight from Atlanta to Bethesda, Maryland, where Lockheed-Martin, the world's largest defense contractor, is headquartered.
According to the annual ranking of the world's top 100 military enterprises released by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute last year, Lockheed Martin still maintains its position as the world's No. 1 arms manufacturer, and last year's Fortune Global 500 list was released, and Lockheed Martin ranked 179th.
Just look at the products under its umbrella to see how strong Loma's position is in the military industry.
In the field of military transport aircraft, there are C-130 "Hercules" transport aircraft series, C-141 "Transport Star" long-range jet transport aircraft, C-5 "Galaxy" heavy-duty transport aircraft, etc.; The reconnaissance planes include the U-2 high-altitude spy reconnaissance plane and the SR-71 Blackbird high-altitude and high-speed strategic reconnaissance plane.
In the field of fighter jets, it is even more incredible, F-16 multi-role fighter, F-117 "Nighthawk" stealth fighter-bomber, F-22 "Raptor" stealth fighter, F-35 "Lightning" stealth fighter, P38 Lightning fighter.
It is no exaggeration to say that the reason why the US imperialists were able to dominate the sky of Blue Star with its invincible firepower was inseparable from Lockheed Martin.
And Loma doesn't stop there!
……
City of Bethesda.
"You're here from Hopkins after all, and you're welcome to join us, Vera."
In the hall on the first floor of the headquarters of Loma Company, two women, an old man and a young woman, met here, talking about an older old woman, her name is Marilyn Hewson, who is on the Forbes annual list of the world's most powerful women, and the current head of Lockheed Martin.
"Lady Marilyn? It is a great honor for you to come out to meet you in person. The girl said with a hint of flattery, speaking with a hint of elegance.
Her full name is Vera Lopez. Lopez, who claims to be the youngest and highest-level fundamental physicist in contemporary North America, received a Ph.D. in mathematics and quantum physics last year when Vera was 18 years old, and a master's degree in chemistry this year.
If she hadn't been poached by Lockheed Martin, she might have become the chief scientist of the North American National Neutron Decay Research Project this year.
And the head of Loma Company came to greet her in person, which is enough to prove how much Vera Lopez is valued, her appearance is already very capable even if she is placed in Hollywood, and her talent is as amazing.
Marilyn led her on a tour of the company's headquarters and personally took her to the exclusive research center that she had promised to prepare.
With more than 170,000 employees, the company is among the world's leading fighter jets in aviation, aerospace and electronics, and is the world's largest fighter jet manufacturer. In space, it will control the production and launch of all U.S. military satellites; In terms of missiles, it is the main manufacturer of inter-American missiles. At the same time, it still has advantages in strategic missile systems, strategic missile defense systems, tactical missile systems, anti-tank missiles and airborne electronic equipment. ”
Marilyn said with a proud tone, as the largest defense contractor in North America, Lockheed Martin does have proud capital, for a moment, she looked at Vera with a smile: "And with your joining, I am very much looking forward to opening a new chapter in the field of high-energy laser weapons for the company." We continue to believe that in the future, it is most likely that high-energy directional weapons will be the first to break nuclear deterrence. ”
"Yes, Ms. Hewson, I firmly believe that when the power level is large enough and the volume is small enough. Sea-based, land-based, air-based, and space-based high-energy particle anti-missile systems can be easily established, and at that time, Star Wars will no longer be a fool. ”
When this new concept weapon is mentioned, Vera's eyes gradually show an unconcealed excitement and anticipation, as if a child is excitedly talking about his favorite toy.
Even when Marilyn saw her at the moment, she inexplicably felt a faint chill in her heart, but this state of mind only lasted in the heart of the head of Loma Company for two seconds, and instead she felt excited in her heart.
That's the kind of person Loma needs at Loma.
Vera's performance made her look forward to it even more, because in the field of high-energy directional weapons, the gap between Lockheed Martin and its rival Boeing is constantly widening, don't think that Boeing is building civil airliners.
And Vera Lopez can join Loma Company, undoubtedly because of the high hopes of this female head.
