Chapter 480 The careless White House
It is more difficult to build his own first fully stealth transport aircraft than Wen Ming imagined.
The reassembly work, which was expected to be completed in one month, has been extended to one and a half months.
The reason why this is so is not because there are such problems in technology, Wen Ming has a complete full stealth transport aircraft manufacturing technology, and he can sell any equipment and materials he wants, and he is not short of money, nor does he lack the authority to buy some special equipment, so naturally there will be no problems.
The real reason is simply because there are so many visitors.
Wen Ming stayed in Canada for a month and a half, and politicians and business people in the two cities of Toronto and Hamilton wanted to see Wen Ming. In addition to the two cities closest to the Wenming factory and the location of the new headquarters, the Canadian government executives in the Canadian capital also hope to have a good relationship with Wenming.
He wants to influence Canada through his own strength, so that Canada can break away from the thigh of the United States and turn into a country that develops with his thigh. But before he showed that his thighs were thicker than those of the U.S. government, his plan could not be carried out.
At such times, the relationship between the two parties can only be deepened through continuous exchanges and cooperation. Therefore, Wen Ming has no way to refuse those people to visit, and there are some people with relatively high positions, such as the Prime Minister of Canada, the Governor-General, or a slightly lower level of political dignitaries, Wen Ming needs to be personally received.
As a member of the Commonwealth, the de facto leader of the Canadian government is the Prime Minister of Canada, and the nominal leader, in addition to the British Queen, is the Governor-General of Canada, appointed by the Queen.
In addition to the Canadian visitors, the embassies of various countries in Canada also visited Wenming's location in person by the ambassadors of various countries for special purposes.
Other countries are still like this, how can the official United States, which has always wanted to promote Wenming as an American, ignore it?
Wen Ming has the technology to build airplanes, and even if he doesn't have it, his capital level will allow him to have it in the shortest possible time. No one doubted that the first plane built by Wenming would fail, so they all hoped to be able to take this opportunity to cooperate with Wenming before the first aircraft test flight.
The U.S. government and the military are very interested in Wen Ming's aircraft manufacturing plan, although Wen Ming claims to be only building a small transport aircraft, but they suspect that Wen Ming is not only building a small transport plane.
In other words, he took a small team and worked in that aircraft production workshop for a month and a half. And at this time, no unrelated people are allowed to enter? ”
In the White House, O'Guanhai is in a meeting with the Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, and others, and the White House Chief of Staff and Secretary of Homeland Security, who should be here, did not appear at the moment.
The Minister of Defense said: "Yes, the technicians before that factory only built the basis of an airplane, from the engine to the avionics system, Wen Ming himself led people to do it." ”
Ao Guanhai frowned and asked: "As far as I know, the manufacturing of aero engines is very difficult, and the requirements for the manufacturing environment are also very high, he has no engine manufacturing plant at all, and he has not cooperated with other companies that have the ability to manufacture engines. So, who can tell me how he is going to solve the problem with the engine? ”
The Minister of Defense replied: "He has mastered the energy engine technology, and it is a miniaturized energy engine technology, and our experts believe that it is possible for him to use the energy engine technology directly, which is completely different from our conventional engine." ”
The Secretary of State frowned and asked, "When did he master the energy engine technology?" We are only currently researching this kind of technology, and other countries should not be able to apply it maturely. ”
The Minister of Defense replied: "When he first got his hands on Israel's energy weapon technology and the British Angel Wings technology, he started researching energy engines. According to our speculation, the time when he actually mastered this technology should have been four to five months ago, that is, when he made the 'Mingguang' armor. ”
Regarding the issue of energy engines, in fact, Wen Ming had communicated with the Pentagon a long time ago, but at that time he did not show that he had mastered the technology of energy engines, just because he wanted to study energy weapons and angel wings, and give the Pentagon a pie.
Moreover, Wen Ming at that time did not have the ability to directly contact the US Secretary of Defense.
The Minister of Defense Technology said: "In such a short period of time, although we also find it unbelievable to master this level of technology, but in the limited video materials of the 'Mingguang' armor that we have, it can be confirmed that the 'Mingguang' armor uses an energy engine." ”
O' Guanhai and the Secretary of State glanced at each other, they had communicated with Area 51 before, and the main point of communication was the 'Mingguang' armor. But at that time, the person in charge of Area 51 told them with great certainty that the 'Mingguang' armor was different from what Area 51 had.
However, they also deduced that Wen Ming may have mastered something similar to what Area 51 possessed.
Both of them thought of this at this time, and they both thought that with Wen Ming, they were able to study so many 'black technologies' in such a short period of time.
But before they found the key point, they didn't dare to make any more moves, because the current Wen Ming was no longer something they could move when they said they could move, nor was it something they could move if they wanted to.
Ao Guanhai did not say this news, because the rank of the defense minister did not have the authority to know about this matter, and he asked: "So, his careful transport plane, do you have any specific information?" ”
The Minister of Defense's face was calm, but there was some embarrassment in his eyes, and he said: "The information we have obtained is very limited, including some of the equipment and materials he ordered, and we have not fully grasped it. ”
What equipment and materials Wenming purchases now, it is not something that the US official can find out if he wants to. The company has become bigger, there are more people under him, and there are private armed forces, and Fran and others have helped Wenming set up many secret offshore companies.
The names of these companies can't be completely checked by the U.S. government, so how can it be known what these companies bought for Wenming?
Seeing that Ao Guanhai's face did not look good, the Minister of Defense continued: "We believe that the brand-new transport aircraft should be a supersonic transport aircraft, and its appearance can allow him to have a very high speed. And the anti-radar coating on the surface also gives it very good stealth performance. According to our intelligence officers, there is also a hidden weapons setting area on that plane, that is, it is actually a supersonic stealth armed transport aircraft. ”
Ao Guanhai nodded and counted: "If it's just like this, the strategic significance of this transport plane is not great." Our radar and other detection technologies are far more advanced than they appear, and I don't believe that he can really be invisible in front of us. ”
Stealth and total stealth are two completely different concepts.
Aircraft stealth in the conventional sense is only stealth on radar and other detection instruments, and full stealth not only includes stealth in front of the detector, but also includes stealth in the naked eye and observation equipment, and even through special devices, reduce the high noise generated by aircraft flight, just like a silencer on a firearm, although there will still be sound, but it is difficult to distinguish.
If these people in the White House knew that Wen Ming was building a fully stealthy supersonic armed transport aircraft, they would not feel that it was of little strategic significance.
"He expects his first test flight tomorrow, and Major General Nick from SHSD, as well as Lieutenant General Johnston from our Air Force sequence, among others, have been invited to participate in his second test flight demonstration," the defense secretary said. ”
"If his first internal test flight is successful, we will be able to get more detailed data with a second test flight demonstration. It seems to me that he wants to get orders from our Air Force with this supersonic stealth armed transport aircraft. In this way, let his umbrella company become our Air Force defense contractor. ”
When Ao Guanhai heard this analysis, he didn't pay much attention to Wen Ming's test flight operation, and it wasn't until later that they began to suspect something, and they regretted not fully monitoring Wen Ming's first test flight.
But by then, it was too late.
