Open the era of black technology

Chapter 517 The curtain of the arms race of the sixth-generation fighter jets has begun [third update, first update]

Recently, the media around the world has been very lively for a while. The Apocalypse Group really has enough limelight. Xu Ping'an's actions have won praise from many people.

There is no hard cap, no threat, everything is done reasonably and legally according to the rules. Many people think this is Xu Ping'an's mature performance.

Conspiracies and tricks are not on the table, and an aboveboard fight is the time to reflect a person's value. Many people think that Xu Ping'an will definitely use super fish oil and super multi-pancreas as weapons to fight back this time.

As a result, Xu Pingan didn't use it at all, but followed the legal rules. It seemed that he was fined [-] million euros by the United States, but anyone who knew the inside story knew that Xu Pingan's loss was not big at all.

Xu Pingan sold a complete blueprint of a small single-person attack submarine for [-] million euros. So many countries don't care if they are fined [-] million euros.

The only one that was seriously damaged was the Italian side.

Apocalypse Arms Company's profits and taxes will definitely drop sharply, and another 500 people will be laid off now. These people all need unemployment subsidies, which is not a small amount.

Just when everyone thought that the matter had completely calmed down, something happened to Grumman in the United States. A group of people attacked the R&D building of Grumman in the middle of the night, and more than 60 security personnel were killed or injured.

After the news spread, the whole country of the United States was shocked, and the whole world was shocked. Who is so bold and dares to do things in the United States, just when people are guessing.

Seven or eight organizations in the Middle East announced that they were responsible for this incident. This is a punishment for the United States. Everyone knows that these people simply do not have the strength to do things in the United States.

Xu Ping'an is also wondering, who is so bold and dares to do such a thing that he dare not do, it is a slap in the face of Mi Guo, this kind of thing is comparable to 922.

One day later, Grumman applied to the High Court for a protection order. The formula for the fuselage material of the sixth-generation aircraft was stolen, and the court was asked to rule that the country in the world should be sanctioned if this material appeared.

These countries must have attacked the Grumman R&D building in order to steal the formula.

At the same time, apply for lifting the restrictions on patent authorization. If you want to buy it, you can buy it from Grumman at a price of 20 billion euros. There is no country limit, and you can buy it from any country in the world.

This time, the U.S. court was very efficient and approved Grumman's application in just one day. After the news spread, all countries in the world were shocked.

Then, the Black House delivered a speech, respecting the legal judgment, as long as any country produces such materials without the patent authorization of Grumman, it is related to this attack.

The United States will use all means to sanction,
When necessary, directly declare war to defend the interests of domestic enterprises.

In the eyes of many countries, 20 billion euros in exchange for the material formula of the sixth-generation machine body is not a big deal at all. Taking this opportunity, they have dispatched personnel to start negotiations with Grumman.

In just one week, more than 30 countries purchased patents. After the news came out, many people felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't tell what was wrong.

It's too smooth to get the materials so easily, just because the allotment leaked, although it is reasonable, but there is always such a feeling that makes you uneasy.

All the countries that have purchased the patent license got the formula, and it was a pain in the ass for a while. The material is indeed real, and it is also extracted from oil, but it didn't say that it would need so much oil.

If you want to extract the materials needed for an aircraft, you need to consume almost [-] tons of crude oil. How many countries can bear such a large consumption.

Seeing this result, many high-level officials in the country were fooled, and this idea began to flood their brains.

You must be fooled. This is the overall situation that the United States spent almost two years planning. The international crude oil price is weak, and the United States has purchased and stored a number of oil fields at extremely low prices.

The patented formula was sold to the outside world, earning tens of billions of euros. Next, if you want to refine this material, you need to buy oil, and American companies can comfortably earn for many years.

From the moment Grumman was approved by the court, the price of international crude oil has soared all the way. It has more than doubled in just one week, and it is still rising one after another.

The United States is very clear in its calculations. Even if some countries know it is a trap, you have to jump.

Because you simply cannot refuse the sixth-generation fighter.

The curtain of the arms race of the sixth-generation fighter jets has begun. This is a public conspiracy. You must allocate certain resources to this aspect more or less.

This period of time is really changing, and the evolution of various things makes you confused. Xu Pingan stayed in the UK for a while, mainly waiting for the report on the ecological restoration of the English Channel.

Since taking over the contract, the Institute of Marine Ecology has started to hire manpower. Every day, hundreds of people dive to the bottom of the sea and start to clean the seabed. They bring high-power equipment to artificially create seabed currents, and directly clean up a layer of the seabed.

Today is the day when the test report is released. Zhao Shenyue, the project team leader, came to see Xu Pingan with the report. Although Zhao Shenyue is a woman, she is very courageous in her work, and she is the team leader of the English Channel Ecological Restoration Project Team.

"So, there are still bacteria on the seabed," Xu Pingan said, frowning.

Zhao Shenyue nodded and said, "President, the bacteria on the seabed are much more stubborn than we expected. The best way is to clean up a layer of seabed. Otherwise, we need to double the number of bacteria we put in."

"How much will the cost increase, which way is more in our interest?" Xu Pingan looked at Zhao Shenyue and asked.

Sun Wenbin is not young anymore. In the future, the Institute of Oceanography needs a new leader. Xu Pingan has already begun to inspect personnel. Zhao Shenyue is only in his 30s, and he can accept the Institute of Oceanography in ten years.

"Cleaning the seabed directly is more in our interest. The cost of cultivating bacteria is not small, and there are a lot of them. Cleaning up a layer of seabed directly will reduce the living space of this kind of bacteria."

"Transplanting some corals for our next step is very helpful for the second step of restoration," Zhao Shenyue said seriously.

Xu Pingan nodded, and began to ask in detail, very carefully, Isabella listened beside him, and did not understand why Xu Pingan asked such detailed questions.

Could it be that Xu Ping'an was tempted by this woman? I looked into Xu Ping'an's eyes carefully, and found nothing abnormal. They were very clear and showed no shrinking expression.

"Go, implement according to your plan, I support you" Xu Ping'an said with a smile, eyes full of admiration.

"Thank you, President," Zhao Shenyue said very politely.

He shook hands with Xu Ping'an and left directly. Xu Pingan sent Zhao Shenyue to the elevator before returning. He just sat down and took a sip of tea.

"Did you fall in love with her?" Isabella suddenly said beside her.

With a "poof", the tea in Xu Ping'an's mouth spewed out, "cough cough cough cough" it took a long time to recover.

Looking at Isabella with a puzzled face, "Why do you ask that?"

"Xu, for something like this, you just need to ask about the result. I can't think of any other reason why you took the time to ask such detailed questions." Isabella shrugged after finishing speaking.

Xu Pingan shook his head and smiled wryly, "Isabella, I really only have a working relationship with her, and today is also the first time I see her in person."

"The reason why I asked so carefully is for the Institute of Marine Ecology."

Isabella was taken aback for a moment, and asked in confusion, "What does this have to do with the Institute of Marine Ecology?"

"Sun Wenbin, the head of the Institute of Marine Ecology, is not young and is expected to retire within ten years. I must investigate his successor in advance."

"Most of the earth is covered by oceans. Therefore, the Institute of Oceanography is very important. There must be a qualified person at the helm. You know the difficulty of ecological restoration in the English Channel. Zhao Shenyue is obviously capable of taking charge of this project."

"The reason I asked in such detail just now is to examine her actual work experience. Obviously, she has a lot of actual work experience. If there is no accident, she will take on bigger projects in a few years."

"The several research institutes of the Tianqi Group are the most important, and they must not be sloppy. They are related to the foundation of the Tianqi Group, and I must arrange them in advance." Xu Pingan explained, and Isabella understood what was going on.

Embarrassed expression appeared on his face, he picked up the teapot and poured Xu Pingan a cup of tea to express his apology, Xu Pingan smiled, picked it up and drank it directly.

"We're leaving for France tomorrow, are you going?" Xu Ping'an asked.

Isabella shook her head, "No, I want to design. The professor assigned us a project to design a building with a fusion of classical and sci-fi styles. Time is running out. I have to concentrate on designing and I have found a breakthrough. way"

"However, I will go on vacation in October this year in Hawaii, and Song and Miao will also go together."

After finishing speaking, with a sly look on Isabella's face, Xu Pingan shook his head and smiled wryly. This was notified to him after they discussed it themselves, and the objection was invalid.

The next day, Xu Pingan arranged for a plane to take Isabella back first, and stayed for an extra day by himself. He was leaving for France tomorrow, and wandered around aimlessly during the day.

"Xu..." Xu Ping'an heard someone shouting his surname, turned his head and saw that it was Norton.

Hilton Hotel, what is Norton doing here, while thinking in his mind, he walked over directly, "Hey, why are you here?" After speaking, he shook hands with Norton.

"Christie's auction will be held here soon. I'm coming to participate. Are you interested? I heard that some antiques of oriental civilization will be exhibited this time," Norton said with a smile.

Xu Pingan was taken aback, he was not very interested in antiques during the auction, not to mention that there was still a relic being excavated in Colombia, but he had nothing to do, let's take a look.
