Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 2279 Sudden mutation
"Jisang, I also think we can solve all the problems by ourselves. There is one more thing. We have been exploring the rocket engine. Russian engines are the best in the world. We know that your company has a famous rocket engine expert. Can we jointly develop rocket engines together?"

"Space travel has always been our dream. As a large technological country, we are willing to pay a huge price if we can have a mature rocket engine."

When Xiao Liu Yingming spoke, his eyes were fixed on Ji Donglai, hoping to see something from Ji Donglai's face.

Ji Donglai was also surprised, but he did not stop making tea.

Last time, the engine for Ji Donglai's aviation project team came from Russia and the launch site was in Kazakhstan. Now the Caspian Sea launch base in Azerbaijan is basically ready.

Ji Donglai plans to carry out the launch here next time, so as to get rid of the dependence on Soviet-made engines. More importantly, many parameters of his experiments cannot be known to outsiders.

It is impossible to keep such a huge action completely secret. Japan's aviation dream has been around for a century, but none of the five permanent members of the Security Council are willing to help each other.

"Let's start with the power generation project, Mr. Xiao Liu. Our aviation project team mainly designs rockets, and the engine is the core project. We hope to use our country's Long March series engines for our next launch."

"It's too difficult to develop an engine by ourselves. Do you know how much money we spent just on developing the rocket?"

Ji Donglai said as he made a ten and then doubled it.

Xiao Liu opened his mouth, knowing that this was not false, because the other country spent more than this amount of money on developing engines. In recent years, fireworks have been set off continuously, including the most powerful post-80s, who have also been continuously developing rockets.

The engine is also made in Russia. Musk's recent space series engine was developed by the other company. Musk has spent ten times more money than Ji Donglai every year in recent years. Facts have proved that such high-tech projects are achieved by spending money.

After many explosions, the Dragon spacecraft finally succeeded in launching into space. Now, launching a satellite is almost the same as launching a weather balloon for the other party. Given the Americans' overbearing character, they will fill the entire low-altitude orbit.

Once the other party has taken all the quota, latecomers can only rent Musk’s satellites, and there is only one result: they will be at the mercy of others.

Everyone wants to break the monopoly, but the other party can't even handle the most basic launch link, let alone negotiate prices with the launch party.

"Boss Ji, we've almost finished discussing this!"

Ji Donglai chatted with Xiao Liu for more than three hours. Ji Donglai learned a lot about Japan from Xiao Liu. According to Xiao Liu, due to the severe shortage of electricity, the economy of Japan as a whole has shown a significant decline.

Many foreigners working in Japan have begun to return to their home countries, and some have even retained their permanent residency and returned to their own countries to live long-term.

On the project team side, all the project communications have been completed.

According to the intention reached between Jiang Haokun and Xiao Liu's leaders, this cooperation will require at least US$233 billion in funds from construction to technology transfer. Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing needs to report this matter to the national side.

Xiao Liu also needs to report to the relevant departments of his country. This is a very large project.

At night, Xiao Liu and his gang did not stay, but went to the capital to take the earliest flight back to Japan.

"Xiao Liu-san, the intention we reached this time is very good. You have made a huge contribution to the group!"

The team leader gave Xiao Liu a thumbs up, his face full of joy.

In addition to capital, energy is essential for industrial development. This time, the other party is going to introduce two technologies from Ji Donglai, namely, wave splitting of domestic and industrial waste, and nuclear waste half-life power generation technology.

The remaining details still need to be communicated, and the other party must return to the country to report immediately, as the country is in great need of electricity right now.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the delegation's plane landed at Narita International Airport. Xiao Liu and his colleagues got on the Coaster, and several colleagues who lived in nearby counties got on their own cars.

The car slowly drove out of the airport and headed straight for the Shinkansen. The local staff made various reports to the leaders. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry had already reported it, and the leaders were going to meet with a few people later.

Passing the railway crossing, the guardrail in front was lowered and a patrol officer raised a red signal stick. Everyone on the train was still exchanging the goods they had received from Ji Donglai. The sound of the train was gradually approaching.

"Boom..."

Just when everyone was still immersed in their anticipation for this energy cooperation project, a large Hino truck rushed out from the alley behind, and the Coaster and the cars following it were directly rushed into the railway. The rolling train instantly smashed the Coaster in front, and a group of people in the car who were not wearing seat belts were knocked into the air.

Many people flew out of the car windows, and some were directly cut by the glass. Several cars following the car were not spared either. The entire car body was bulged and blood spurted out of the windows.

At the point where the train and Coaster touched, a string of sparks and lightning was particularly dazzling in the night sky. A shrill siren sounded, and the train traveled a long distance before stopping.

"Car accident? Is it serious?"

An hour later, Ji Donglai was gently woken up by Qiu Haitang while sleeping. He put the phone to his ear and then sat up. The car accident of Xiao Liuyingming and his gang had been reported in the Asahi News. There was a famous official who was an important assistant to the Prime Minister. He died at the first moment when the train hit the car. His position was just right.

The white-haired energy expert also died on the way to the hospital. Hideaki Koyanagi is now in a deep coma. Among the entire project, only a few employees who lived locally survived because they were not on the same bus.

"The report said that the brakes of the day-night truck failed. It was a heavy truck, carrying cement blocks. The driver was also crushed to death by the cargo behind him when the collision occurred. What I want to ask is, should we continue with this project?"

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Haokun's voice trembled as he looked at the accident photos sent by his subordinates.

According to the established schedule of this meeting, Jiang Haokun should have gone to Japan with Xiao Liu's team tonight to participate in the signing ceremony. However, Lu Lu had stomach problems, so Jiang Haokun's trip was postponed for two days.

Now Lu Lu was holding Jiang Haokun's hand, burying his head in Jiang Haokun's arms, and his whole body was trembling.

Ji Donglai was holding the phone, his eyes kept changing, various pieces of information collided in his mind, and faces appeared in his mind one after another.

This project was first proposed by the Europeans and blocked by the Americans. Nothing went wrong before Xiao Liu and his companions came here, but something went wrong just as the two sides reached an agreement. This cannot but make people imagine.

"Brother Ji..."

Jiang Hao Kun hugged Lu Lu's head, patted his back gently and comforted him softly. In the bedroom, several children were still sleeping soundly.

"Don't move. I'll take care of the rest. Prepare to hand over the information!"

After hanging up the phone, Ji Donglai was stunned for a long time. Qiu Haitang didn't know what was going on, but knew something must have happened, so she hurriedly helped Ji Donglai put on his clothes.

"You guys go to sleep first, I'll take care of something!"

After putting on his clothes, Ji Donglai kissed Qiu Haitang, then walked to the study and took out another mobile phone from the drawer. His hands trembled and he almost dropped the phone. After a while, he dialed Lu Jinqiu's number.

Soon Lu Jinqiu answered the phone and the secretary walked out of the room.

"Boss Lu, go get some information from Hao Kun about our cooperation with Tepco. This is very dangerous, you need to be well prepared before taking the next step..."

Ji Donglai talked to Lu Jinqiu in detail about all the negotiations that took place today, and then informed Lu Jinqiu that Xiao Liu and his gang had been in a serious car accident.

He mentioned his doubts in passing and then began to give instructions.

"Please pay attention to your safety. I'll have someone pick you up in Japan. Try to investigate this matter thoroughly. Don't act rashly before you know the answer. We want to cooperate, but not to die!"

Thinking of the group of people who were chatting and laughing with him today, but are now separated from him by the Yin and Yang, Ji Donglai's heart skipped a beat.

Lu Jinqiu listened quietly over there and began to take notes with the pen in his hand.

"Boss Ji, don't worry, I'll arrange it right away. If this project happens, it will definitely be our company's!"

The two of them checked the details, then Lu Jinqiu put on his pajamas and walked into the study, took out his notebook and started receiving files. Soon Jiang Haokun sent the other party's files over.

At the same time, Ji Donglai changed to another mobile phone and called Mr. Yu.

"Dongla, is it necessary to fight so hard?"

Mr. Yu was woken up in the middle of the night by his assistant. He was a little grumpy. The young model put on her clothes and left under the escort of her bodyguards. She kissed Mr. Yu reluctantly.

"Brother Yu, there is an important matter for you to arrange. Our former client Xiao Liu brought people from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry to discuss cooperation with us today. Not long after he got off the plane at Narita Airport, an accident occurred. Almost all the main responsible persons died. This matter is not simple. I will let General Manager Lu take charge of the next matters. You investigate this matter. It is very strange..."

Ji Donglai told Master Yu everything he knew in detail. Master Yu was a little hesitant at first, but when he heard that it was such a big deal, he took out his notebook and started recording the details.

It was not until ten minutes later that Mr. Yu stopped writing.

"It's a bit complicated. I'll have someone do it right away. As long as someone does it, there will be traces. What I'm most worried about is that the professionals will do it too cleanly, then..."

Master Yu frowned, and Ji Donglai also fell silent.

"Communicate with Mr. Lu. If the situation is too complicated, don't let our people enter the country. This project can just rot in China. You have to pay attention to safety!"
