Germany, Berlin.

77 William Street.

It is a plot of land with special significance.

To the north is the Federal Building, to the east is the German Museum, to the south is the Berlin city center, and to the west is the Berlin State Parliament.

And it was the German headquarters during World War II.

In the past few decades, kindergartens and welfare homes have been built here, but due to various mysterious events, they were abruptly forced to terminate and eventually fell into ruins.

Until February this year, TEP won the land of only 12 acres for a whopping 60 million marks, including the bunker underneath, which is said to hide countless secrets.

Subsequently, as a member of parliament, Foreman completed the construction of the TEP office building and entrusted the construction to an oriental construction company.

Later, TEP split up, and Foreman took the helm of the Iron Sheet Company, which became the headquarters of the Iron Sheet Company.

The building adopts a European-style retro style as a whole, and only the bottom five-story podium has been completed, and the more than five floors are still wrapped by the electric climbing frame invented by the iron sheet company.

In August this year, the company undertook the TEP energy project, which was heavily indebted and financially constrained, and in order to save money, it had to put the podium into use ahead of schedule.

Early in the morning of September 13th.

On the quiet Wilhelm Street, only the hum of construction equipment is heard.

Suddenly, an earth-shattering cheer came from the headquarters of the Iron Sheet Company.

"It worked!"

"We changed history!"

"Be quiet, be careful of being listened to by the interdish."

With Foreman's reprimand, the cheers came to an abrupt end.

And the 'journalists' and 'embassy staff' of various countries lurking around started one after another.

10 a.m., William's Cafe.

A North American ABC reporter belonging to the Five Eyes Alliance, as an ordinary person, found a person surnamed Zhou in charge of the Berlin No. 3 laboratory of the Iron Sheet Company.

"Zhou, we're already old friends."

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you what happened today."

"Zhou, you must know that in the past six months, you have sold us a lot of important information, including Strauss's safe password, Foreman's study compartment, Xu Fei's special habits, especially where the confidential documents of the Hamburg Port shipyard are hidden."

The person in charge surnamed Zhou was unmoved, "As long as I keep this secret, neither Foreman nor Xu Fei will treat me badly, and the information sold to you before will not be blamed in the past." ”

When the ABC reporter heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickly thought about it, but when he saw that the person in charge surnamed Zhou did not mean to get up and leave, he suddenly moved in his heart, "What do you want?" ”

"20 million US dollars."

"Hiss......"

"If I tell you what happened today, I will definitely be hunted down by Forman, and I will need to flee to North America and join Strauss."

"Why don't you go to another company?"

"I'm in charge of the electrical side, do I want to go to General Electric, which doesn't even let go of my own people?"

“……”

Keynes, the chairman of Carlyle Investment, betrayed Carlyle, defected to General Electric, and sat in the position of CEO, and later General Electric lost two warships and a submarine, and the attack on Raymond and United Defense with Maverick Eggs was also exposed, and Keynes died of a sudden heart attack in the interrogation room, which is equivalent to carrying a black cauldron.

As long as the people in the 'circle' know this, they basically know.

"Zhou, 20 million dollars is not a small amount."

"Pay $10 million first, I'll tell you what's going on, and if you want to know the details, pay another $10 million."

"Deal!"

After the ABC reporter finished speaking, he got up and took out his mobile phone, dialed the number, and walked to the bathroom.

Unbeknownst to him, the cameras of the café moved over in unison, and the controller behind the scenes quickly wrote down the number and linked the eavesdropping device......

A moment later.

ABC reporters returned.

With the help of a portable laptop, the engineer surnamed Zhou checked the offshore account, looked left and right, dipped his finger in some boiled water, and wrote and drew on the desktop.

"You should know the fundamentals of aircraft stealth."

"Yes, make the shell into many 'prisms' to refract the radar waves to other areas and avoid the feedback waves received by the emitting source."

"That's right, but in order to ensure the aerodynamic layout, the aircraft must use a smooth shell to make one 'prism' after another, which is bound to sacrifice power."

"Hmm."

"I'm done with the first part."

“？？？”

"Pay."

Continued: "An airship, but without such a restriction, it can change its appearance at will. ”

“……”

"If the airship is stealthy and flies at an altitude of 30,000 meters, the fighter plane will not be able to hit it, and the missile will not be able to lock on, but the airship can carry hundreds of tons, or even thousands of tons, of boom ......."

"Hiss......"

"We have changed the shape of warfare."

The ABC reporter hurriedly got up and prepared to leave.

But I heard the engineer surnamed Zhou say again: "This is just one of the designs, we have a more ingenious plan." ”

Then the two sides fell silent.

The ABC reporter went to the bathroom again.

A moment later.

After checking the offshore account, the engineer surnamed Zhou picked up an empty water cup with great satisfaction, "You should know the basic principles of airships." ”

"Yes, air density."

"You see, I flat-end this cup, and the airship rises smoothly under the action of helium and thrusters, pulling the cabin or cargo hold below."

"Hmm."

"I'm done."

"You're so greedy!"

"Okay." The engineer surnamed Zhou shrugged helplessly, flat-ended the water cup, "Look at my hands, if the inside is full of helium and treats it as an airship, can we hold up the plane like holding up this water cup?" ”

“？？？”

"Like a lifeboat, or designed as a real 'air carrier', with its carrying capacity of hundreds or thousands of tons, we can hold up at least 50 heavy fighters, and without a runway, just drop it, let the pilot start the fighter in a space of 30,000 meters above the ground, and then adjust the flight attitude."

"Hiss......"

"Have we changed the shape of warfare? I believe that in 10 years, no, 5 years, Hangmu will be a thing of the past. ”

The ABC reporter scrambled to his feet and was about to rush out of the café.

"As I said, these are just two of the design options, and we have more clever ones."

The ABC reporter paused and turned to the bathroom.

Another moment later.

The engineer surnamed Zhou checked the 40 million US dollars in the offshore account, "You know the principle of airships, you should know that airships, balloons and other aircraft can reach the stratosphere of the atmosphere at most, and cannot fly out of the atmosphere." ”

"Yes."

"How much money could we save if an airship brought a spacecraft to the edge of the atmosphere and then lifted the spacecraft into space on its own? Oh, and the idea comes from your 'space shuttle', where the big plane transports the small plane to 10,000 meters into the air, and the small plane goes to outer space alone. ”

"I see!"

This time, the ABC reporter no longer hesitated and rushed out of the café quickly.

The engineer surnamed Zhou looked at his back for a long time, then looked back at the waiter, "Tell the commander that there is a shortage of 10 million." ”

"Your acting skills are too poor, and your salary is gone this year."

“……”

Two hours later.

The iron sheet company announced the above news.

Not to mention the ABC reporter who spent money to buy useless information and angrily asked the engineer surnamed Zhou to ask for a refund.

After learning about the home star countries of 'airship stealth', 'air carrier', and 'airship launch platform', I was stunned to find that it seemed that it was not difficult to realize these three theoretical projects.

Don't talk about the East, even the third brother can do it.

Because everyone has relevant theories, corresponding technologies, and knows how to make them.

All that's missing is raw materials.

One is nylon fiber that prevents static electricity at high altitudes.

The second is an ultra-light carbon fiber metal skeleton.

As for the propulsion system......

As long as you can build rockets, know how to 'three-engine propulsion', and get 12 engines to work together, it is not difficult.

So the question is, who has the raw materials?

Tin Company!

…………

Osawa, the airport.

Xu Fei and the personnel of the customs inspection together sealed the 15 oversized oil tanks that Kirov had brought with him, and then loaded them onto the No. 5 Kirov airship, which was put into cargo for the first time.

Daze is full of oil tanks, and now the Sino-Ocean Group uses a few oversized ones for air crude oil transportation, and no one cares about this at all.

Half an hour later.

Kirov airship No. 5 lifted off and headed straight for the first Humphreys base.

"Finally sent away."

Xu Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, went to Daze Civil Airport to rest for two hours, and then boarded the golden version of the Gulfstream, first arrived at the Beijing Airport, and then flew directly to the depths of the Great Plains, and came to the latitude and longitude where the flying island is located.

But after hovering for more than an hour, I couldn't find the markers on the map.

"Where's my flying island?"

Wondering.

The head of Humphlesky, a C-17 drawn from the Yongsan Air Force Base in North America, gradually appeared at the junction of the sky.

At the same time, there was a burst of Inglas from your default communication channel.

"Sir, we've arrived at our designated location."

"Wait, I can't find my target."

Xu Fei contacted the secretary team and asked the other party to report the latitude and longitude of Feidao again, and then found that it was exactly the same as his own record.

At this time, the C-17 flight group opened the communication: "Sir, the target you are talking about is not marked on the map on our side...... No, there is one on the 73 version of the map, called the South Island? ”

"Yes!"

"Sir, it was gone 10 years ago."

“……”

"If you buy a map in the future, it's best to use a military map, or a satellite real-time map, don't use the civilian version, and delay things."

“……”

"What should I do?"

"It's all shipped, throw it down."

"Roger!"

The next moment.

The C-17 and the Gulfstream business jet, circling in circles, rushed into the air together.

Immediately afterwards, the C-17's butt opened, and with mechanical equipment it rolled out a carrier comparable to four trucks, and then dropped a pump body more than thirty meters long.

The pump body fell freely, and the head peeled off the shell, and the tail erupted into flames.

For a while, the sound of jets and the sound of breaking the air sounded in unison, and even the sea surface rippled with huge waves.

After 5 seconds.

boom！

A solitary mushroom cloud made of steam soars into the sky.

Even the Gulf Stream, which is at an altitude of 10,000 meters, is shaken by the shock.

As for the C-17......

It's long gone.

Xu Fei looked through the window and looked down, not knowing how to count the power for a while.

However, after the test just now, as well as the photos taken, it can be basically determined that a single oil tank is 200 tons, with a killing radius of 2 kilometers, and a maximum launch height of 15,000 meters from high altitude to the ground.

No matter how high it is, the engineer crouching inside the C-17 will not be able to activate the oversized tank independently, and must return it to the Kirov airship and use the commander's instructions to drop targets on the minimap.

In general, it is far less valuable than the V-series rockets.

Think all the way.

The Gulfstream business jet was parked at the Beijing Airport, and after inspection, it was transferred to Daze.

When Xu Fei returned to the workshop office, he sent photos of Boom, as well as photos of Kirov's fuel tanks, including Kirov's flight across the ocean to Shou'er, to the headquarters of the Berlin Iron Sheet Company.

It's like the statement in the information film that describes the news: a few pictures at the beginning, everything depends on the editor.

How to describe the power of Kirov's stealth technology depends on how the eucalyptus runs.

As for why you didn't drive the Kirov to fry fish......

There is no stealth technology, and if you fly slowly, you will definitely be detected by radar.

Now it's different, C-17 was on the way to transport Chinese cabbage, found something strange in a certain area, reported to the Longshan base, ran to follow, and immediately saw Super Boom.

Of course, this story needs to be polished and strive to be flawless.

……

The other side.

After a day of gestation.

Airship stealth, air carrier, airship launch platform, three ideas gradually accepted by most scientific research institutions.

Because the theory is correct, there are ready-made techniques, and it is impossible to refute them.

Even North America's NASA declassified the 'Akron-class' air carrier and demanded royalties from the Iron Sheet Company.

The Akron-class air carrier, with a length of 200 meters and a diameter of 40 meters, is equipped with 8 Maybach V-12 engines, with a total power of 4480 horsepower, a speed of 140km per hour, and can carry 9 bomber aircraft.

The project was a 1948 'flying platform' program in North America, which was later shelved due to aerial refueling problems.

Now that there are air tankers for a long time, the project can be fully ...... Straight into production!

Foreman immediately retorted: You are mounting, we are lifting, and paying the patent fees for a fart, how many years have it been? Your airship is still using our German zeppelin technology.

NASA just wants money: Zeppelin technology belongs to North America!

Forman: There will be no military payments next year!

nasa：……

The two sides are arguing, and other countries are not idle.

Those who do not have airship technology hope to import one from the Iron Sheet Company, or from NASA, or from General Electric.

There is airship technology, hoping to introduce nylon fiber and lightweight carbon fiber skeleton from the above three.

There is no airship technology, but pretending to have airship technology, which is a bit embarrassing at this time.

But regardless, a new era is coming, and GE's stock has been on the rise.

And it's still skyrocketing!

After all, neither Tin Sheet nor NASA are listed companies, and shareholders can only buy General Electric.

Then the Wall Street tycoons found out that Romney, who had been blocked for more than half a month and had not been caught, was crazy to go long......

The president of Morgan Investment Bank, who has enjoyed electrotherapy, looked at the electric stocks that had finally come back to life, but now he was crazy about cutting leeks, and suddenly he didn't want to play, so he was so angry that he picked up the phone and scolded the chairman of General Electric.

The latter was very aggrieved: Is this something I can control?!

………

September 15th.

The opening of the muddy Olympics.

The five Kirov airships commissioned by the Iron Sheet Company to be operated by Sino-Ocean Group were officially put into commercial use.

Airship fans who have been waiting for a long time finally enjoy the romance of the airship and fly across the ocean to Austria.

Xu Fei didn't go.

Originally, I was going to cheer for my own athletes, mainly the race walker in the expansion.

Now that there are so many fellows and super airships, the scene will be absolutely lively.

Besides, it's not too late to take the Gulfstream before the race.

What he thinks about now is.

Dismantling Kirov sells the original skin material, or with the help of the basic production line, makes similar nylon fibers, and sells the high-profile skin.

Including dismantling the original skeleton of Kirov, or selling the skeleton of the tall imitation......

It stands to reason that their own family belongs to the government, and no matter how they sell it, it is not high.

"A youth version, a supreme level? And then make a low allocation? ”

Xu Fei hesitated for a long time, and decided to contact the customer and then improvise.

Then I picked up another project book.

The joint defense has been publicly reviled for the M8 incident, and since August, it has been allowed to participate in the arms bidding of the NATO system.

Later, TEP separated, and Foreman fell out with Strauss, and in order to export gas, Foreman acquired a small and medium-sized armament company from North America in the name of the German Iron Sheet Company to compete with United Defense.

The procurement project announced by the North American military department this time is a batch of winter training uniforms and combat uniforms, as well as many boots, hats, helmets, and so on.

How much does it cost......

As long as you take it, you will definitely earn it.
