Chapter 225: Good News and Bad News

I didn't know that the reason why Teresa Roy really decided to get into his car was that he had pancreatic cancer and died not long ago?

Of course, if he knew, he wouldn't blame, because there is no love for no reason in this world, and there is no hate for no reason.

As a capitalist, how could Teresa Roy help Wen Ming all the time just because she had a good impression of Wen Ming? The original purpose of giving Wen Ming's prehistoric amber was only because he didn't care about the prehistoric amber, because it was just a display in his hands, but in Wen Ming's hands, it was possible to resurrect dinosaurs.

On top of that, if Wen Ming fails, he will still be able to get everything Wen Ming has invested in the research of 'resurrecting' dinosaurs, so it's just a business.

Later, he helped Wen Ming to put the first generation of iPhone into production, the purpose was just to make money, he took a fancy to Apple's technology, not to be a stupid philanthropist. And in this business, no matter whether Wen Ming can complete the bet with him, he can get enough benefits, more than investing in other businesses.

Because a person whose interests are combined, how can he expect the other party to consider everything for him?

It's a pity that Teresa Roy's gambling investment is also doomed to failure. Because of Wen Ming's pancreatic cancer, it is impossible to recur, and it can even be said that with his current physical condition, as long as he doesn't get AIDS or other diseases, he will not even have a cold in his life.

Therefore, when Wen Ming got the good news from Teresa Roy, he thought that Teresa Roy really took a fancy to the interests of the future arms company.

"Wen Ming, I have successfully made them give up the idea of getting energy weapon technology from you, and, based on the cooperation conditions we talked about before, as long as you can share Angel Wing's energy jet power system technology with them within the agreed time, then they will send someone to visit your energy weapon display in two months."

This news was naturally very good for Wen Ming, so he thanked Teresa Roy.

And Teresa Roy also reminded: "However, there is one news that needs to be told to you, that is, you are not the only one who has obtained the technology of energy weapons, in the United States alone, there are three companies other than the US government that have obtained the technology of energy weapons." ”

Wen Ming frowned at that time, these forces that had obtained the energy weapon technology, although they didn't know if the information they had obtained was more complete than him, they had all become his competitors.

And when it comes to competitors, no one is not happy to stumble on each other.

Teresa Roy reminded: "There is another news that is very unfavorable to us, that is, among the American companies that have obtained Israel's energy weapon technology, there is a company called Thompson? Ramo? Wooldridge & Co. (TR), TR is the eighth largest defense contract contractor in the United States, and the term defense contract contractor, you can directly understand as an arms company. ”

"In 2002, TR was acquired by Northrop, which ranked third, for $7.8 billion, but it did not affect TR's defense research, they have been engaged in anti-missile systems based on laser weapons, and it is precisely because of the large amount of money invested in this research that they will be acquired."

"But after getting Israeli technology, they should be able to succeed very quickly. In addition, Raytheon has also obtained the technology of energy weapons, and they have done a lot of research before, so if your weapon design is not amazing enough, I think, it is really difficult to get an order from the US military. ”

(ps: these three companies really exist, and TR launched a laser anti-missile system in 2008 and successfully destroyed a flying Ketyusha rocket during exercises.) And Raytheon also shot down four drones with laser weapons in 2010. So, do you bosses really think that I will let others master the black technology comparable to the protagonist? Is that still an online article? )

Wen Ming was very unhappy when he got the news, because in his design, miniaturized energy weapons were actually not very useful in the current combat environment.

The power of laser weapons lies in their powerful penetrating ability, high-power and high-density laser beams can make the surface of the target melt sharply, and then vaporize and evaporate, and in the process of vaporization and evaporation, a certain degree of shock wave will be generated, causing very penetrating damage.

In addition, the laser emitted by a laser weapon is a kind of energy, and if the target is a modern device, then the target will absorb the laser energy, ionizing its atoms, forming an isoplasmic 'cloud', which can produce radiation ultraviolet and X-rays, destroying the target structure and electronic components.

Miniaturized laser weapons, such as energy pistols, are actually used against people, and energy weapons are not very advantageous compared to bullets. Moreover, bullets are even cheaper than energy weapons.

In Wenming's design, the most suitable application of laser weapons is the air defense system. Because laser weapons strike very fast and can destroy electronic components on the target, they are definitely the most suitable basis for air defense systems for anti-missile and anti-enemy aircraft.

What's more, compared to the price of an anti-missile missile, laser weapons are much cheaper. A 'Patriot' costs $600,000-700,000, and even a short-range Stinger missile costs $20,000.

But how much does a laser weapon cost?

It's just energy, just like a power bank, you can recharge it if you don't have electricity, and even if it has a service life, it won't be a disposable product like a missile. Moreover, although the energy required for laser weapons is very huge, at the current level of technology, electrical energy is really cheap.

In Wenming's prediction, if a laser is launched for defense, the cost will only be about $1,000, even if you add the cost of R&D and equipment loss.

"In other words, I'd better work out an anti-aircraft and anti-missile system based on laser weapons before them?"

Teresa Roy's reply was: "If you have to get an order from the military and become a real U.S. defense contractor, you need not only to research it out before them, but also to have a better product and a better price advantage than theirs." ”

After hanging up the phone, Wen Ming felt that the so-called arms business was not much different from other businesses. It's called a defense contractor, but in reality it's just a shopping around option for the U.S. military.

The difference is that unless you come up with military technology that will shock the world, you won't be eligible to enter the stadium at all. And if you don't have enough strength to keep your skills, the better your skills are, the sooner they will be snatched away.

"It seems that I need to add some black technology to my laser air defense and anti-missile system."

In Wen Ming's previous plan, his system was not going to use black technology, but to use some technologies that already existed in reality or were being studied by others as much as possible.

It's good to get the order, why bother to make too much limelight for others to see themselves as a thorn in the side and a piece of cake to 'share'?

But now it seems that the scientific and technological level of this world is really good enough, and the energy weapon technology researched by the Israeli research institute because of his 'cause and effect' has also helped other people in this world to improve their technology to a certain extent.

"It's a pity, you're just a side effect of my cause and effect, compared to the cause and effect I suffered and the black technology I obtained, it's really not worth mentioning."
