After the first Guardian deliveries of the Umbrella Company, they were not directly put into service by the Pentagon.

Instead, it was sold by the Pentagon.

Lockheed Martin, the arms giant No. 1 in the United States and No. 1 in the world, got three guards. The company's most well-known products are the F-22 and F-35, and in addition to the world's most advanced fighter jets, there are also military products such as Trident ballistic missiles.

Boeing got two, and the company's most well-known product is naturally the Boeing airliner, but in addition to the airliner, they are also a very powerful arms company.

The McDonnell Douglas company, which produced the F-15 fighter jet, was acquired by Boeing and also owns the C-17, a strategic-class military transport aircraft.

Raytheon got 2 units, and the company's most technologically advanced product is the radar, equipped with their company's AN/ARG-70 radar fighter jet, which can be said to be one of the most advanced fighters in the world.

And the Patriot missiles they produced became famous in the first war by successfully intercepting the Scud missiles in the Iraq War.

GM got one Guard, Northrop Grumman got two, and it is worth mentioning that Northrop Grumman specializes in the production of aircraft carriers, or Nimitz-class aircraft carriers. In addition to aircraft carriers, this company has a very well-known product, that is, the B-2 bomber, as well as the Apache helicopter.

The 10 guards were distributed in this way, which neither Wen Ming nor Teresa Roy had thought of before.

Or, they thought of this, but they didn't expect those companies to be able to divide the 10 guards.

The purpose of an arms company getting another arms company's products is naturally self-evident. Although different arms companies specialize in different directions, they have a lot in common with weapons below certain levels.

If you want to imitate it, there is not too much technical difficulty. Like the Apache helicopter gunship, Northrop Grumman is not the only company that has the technology to produce it.

Each of the above five arms companies has a professional department for the production and research of radar and other electronic control system equipment.

As the world's first successful laser defense and interception equipment, the Guardian is naturally the primary reference object of these companies.

A factory of Raytheon.

"How long has Apple been founded?"

The person in charge of the R&D Department of Leishen Electronic Control Technology, looking at the two guards they got from the Pentagon at a great price, said with a calm expression: "And how long did it take for our company to develop laser defense interception devices?" ”

In the 90s of the last century, the US government began to invest a lot of money in the research of laser weapons. With an investment of nearly $10 billion, the laser weapons produced can only be regarded as laboratory products, whether offensive or defensive, and none of them can be truly used in actual combat.

And almost all the weapons of the US military are supplied by the major arms dealers of the United States, and this is the norm in capitalist countries. At a time when the U.S. government has invested so much money in research, how can the major U.S. arms companies not conduct research?

As one of the leaders in the world's military electronic control system, Raytheon is researching laser weapons in the direction of laser anti-missile systems.

"We spent nearly a decade researching laser anti-missile systems, but just when we were about to make a breakthrough, a company that was established less than two years ago had already launched a finished product."

The person in charge's expression was still calm, but he spoke at a much louder voice.

"Even, the company that launched this product is just a small company acquired by the owner of Apple Inc., and it has only been a few months since they changed their name to Umbrella Company."

"So, I want you to tell me if you're too incompetent, or if they're too good at science? Or, is it our technology that has been compromised? ”

The last question made all the scientific researchers present tremble. As an arms company, Raytheon does not know how many countries in the world it cooperates with, and in addition to countries, some illegal armed groups are also their customers.

The fate of betraying Raytheon, everyone present knows very well in their hearts, otherwise, with the technology mastered by Raytheon, wouldn't these technicians be poached by many companies and even the country?

Wen Ming wanted to find trustworthy people to participate in his research, just because his speed of development was too fast and his foundation was too shallow. A veteran defense contractor like Raytheon has long passed the bloody lesson, so that the employees who join the company know what to do and what not to do.

"The answers to the questions I asked, I will go to the verification myself, and the company will also send professionals to conduct the verification."

The person-in-charge's expression still didn't change, but his voice became very cold.

"What I'm hoping is that within a week you'll be able to tell me that we can build this Guardian laser defense device in batches. If you can tell me in a week that the Guardians we have created are better than those in front of you, each of you will be rewarded. ”

"One last word of caution is that I don't want to see someone in the room leave us forever in a week's time."

When Thor began to crack the technology of the Guardian and wanted to imitate the Guardian, or even create a better Guardian, several other arms companies that got the Guardian also started the same research project.

Among them, Lockheed Martin, which occupies 40% of the world's defense market and one-third of the Pentagon's annual procurement budget, is limited to three days for cracking the guard.

The reason why they are so confident is not only because they got three guards, but also because they are strong in computer technology.

The technical difficulty in solving the guard lies in the computing system and the architecture of the processor chip. And the amount of software code written by Lockheed Martin every year even exceeds that of Microsoft, which has a monopoly on the computer system market.

For this reason, the two have established a strategic partnership to cooperate on a number of U.S. government defense programs. Among them, there is even a new generation of software systems for nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in the United States, as well as information security systems of the US Department of Defense, and so on.

Therefore, Microsoft is not only selling computer systems, they can also be regarded as a defense contractor in the United States.

What Lockheed-Martin technicians didn't expect was that they had no idea how to crack the code of the guarded system. After some inquiry, they enlisted the help of a Microsoft technician.

It is precisely because of the addition of Microsoft that Wen Ming got this that he had guessed, but he didn't expect such a quick news at all.

"Actually, even if I don't tell you this news, I think you'll know it after a while."

Bill Gates specially brought his family to Jurassic Island for this reason.

Ostensibly, Bill Gates is on vacation to accompany his family to see the living dinosaurs. In fact, it was to take advantage of this opportunity to show favor to the boss of the umbrella company.

"As far as I know, in addition to Thor, there are several other arms companies, which have also obtained your protection and are working on technical cracking. What do you think about this? ”
