Chapter 373: Thick Blood
"There's a guy selling pancakes who keeps looking around every day. He might have something to do with you..."
Wang Yi came back, and after a short absence, Qian Yayan woke up the next morning, wearing a lightly dressed apron and busy in the kitchen . She seemed to remember something a little strange and said
"Umbrella has been making a lot of moves recently. Is there any danger?"
Liu Xiaoke was peeling an apple while feeling a little worried.
'magic'!
Even she could feel the influence of this thing on the set. The director directly started to change the plot, and the other actors also took the discussion about it very seriously.
There are topics such as beauty, longevity, metaphysics, etc. There are also a lot of related discussions in the comments of the short videos she occasionally posts.
It can be found that the popularity of this product is different from that of previous products.
Even if it is a zombie virus, after enough information has been washed away, I now have a sense of accustomed to it. At least I am not as nervous as before.
There is a feeling of 'nothing special'.
But the feeling of 'magic' is different, as if it can always maintain a very high level of attention.
In this case, as the founder of the 'magic number', Wang Yi's importance has undoubtedly been greatly elevated!
There are often discussions about him, and some speculations about his relationship with Umbrella, and even how much he knows!
"There is no need to worry about safety issues in China."
Wang Yi smiled and comforted him, then said
"I'll go over after breakfast. Don't worry. Ordinary people may be subject to some checks and balances, but when it comes to my level, I can only use gentle means. It's not that I believe it or not, but as the second in command, I can only do this."
No matter how much interest and value Wang Yi has now, at least he has always shown a friendly attitude, and it is impossible to take any other means against him.
Maybe it has been discussed, but it certainly won't work.
No one would be stupid enough to push a friendly scholar into opposition.
On one hand, there are endless surprises, big and small, and on the other hand, there is the possibility of zero or even negative returns. You can tell which one to choose with your feet...
…
"Willing to provide armed helicopters?"
Wang Yi finally met three people in an ordinary room in the guesthouse. One was a professor from Wang Yi’s alma mater, one was a middle-aged man with ordinary looks, and the other was a young, beautiful and gentle beauty.
My goodness, my reputation seems to be getting more and more wrong. Is this how you test a great scholar?
However, Wang Yi knows exactly what to do and when, and he won't even accept the sugar-coated bullet.
"Yes, we are willing to have a deeper cooperation with Umbrella. I wonder if Professor Wang can help convey this message."
"It's definitely okay to help pass the message, but from a personal point of view, in the short term, or rather not so short term, it's best to keep a certain distance from Umbrella."
Wang Yi’s words shocked the three of them. They had never expected to receive such a reminder and advice.
Without asking why, the middle-aged man politely said that he needed to make a phone call, then he took out a bulky-looking phone in front of him and began to relay Wang Yi's previous suggestions. The final reply he got was "accept the suggestion".
After accepting it first, I asked tentatively.
"I don't know. Can you tell me the reason? If you really can't stand it anymore, we will definitely support and welcome you with the greatest strength."
This is equivalent to implying that if Umbrella is forced into a corner by Da Piaoliang, Rabbit is willing to take the risk and take her in.
Of course, originally, they were definitely attracted by Umbrella's technology, but if things really came to that, it would be a matter of each party seeking their own benefits.
Wang Yi also smiled when he heard this.
"In fact, according to the discussion within Umbrella, if we can maintain neutrality with our northern neighbors in the future, it would be a great help..."
After saying that, he stood up and turned to leave. After a pause, he threw out another USB flash drive.
"This is the original drawing. I will also send you an improved formula when the time comes. There should be a chance that it can be made using conventional means."
It's not a big deal. It's just a simplified version of the turbofan engine blade material that Lin Shiqin had used to practice before, which can be smelted using traditional industry.
It cannot reach the high strength of the original version at 3,000 degrees, but it can reach more than 2,000 degrees.
With this kind of material, even if the rabbit's craftsmanship is relatively inferior, it is enough to make the bricks fly...
After seeing this thing, Rabbit should know why Umbrella is not in a hurry to buy armed helicopters.
This kind of technology, it is very likely that I have the ability to manufacture it myself...
…
Wang Yi never expected that the rabbit still used a trick, but it was not aimed at Wang Yi.
But...
"Davali, I heard that you are willing to bid up to 150 million US dollars per aircraft?"
This is the communication relayed by Red Queen.
At present, Lin Shiqin's real body has arrived in Penglai. Outside, she mainly cooperates with Red Queen through her extension. Relying on the rented satellite channel and the magic signal blessing from Wang Yi, it is no problem to indirectly direct Red Queen to do things.
Because Mexico still has a quantum-enabled host, its functionality is not greatly affected or restricted.
Well, this time it was the Russian bear who took the initiative to approach Umbrella.
At the beginning, they were quite aloof and would not pay any attention to Umbrella unless they came.
But after learning from the neighbors to the south the price they were willing to pay, and the neighbors to the south refused due to safety concerns, the miserable Russian bear immediately let go of his reserve and took the initiative to contact us.
For Rabbit, Wang Yi, as someone who knows the inside information, suggested keeping a distance. The relationship between the two sides has always been quite good, and he even provided the urgently needed short board materials.
Of course I would believe it.
There is still a huge demand for Rabbit in the global market, so Rabbit often adopts some seemingly conservative attitudes, so it will definitely listen to suggestions.
But it doesn’t matter since the woolly bears in the north have thick skin and tough flesh, just let them fight.
The reason why the Rabbit and the Bear are standing back to back is because of external forces. It is a matter of stance. Because of their stance, the relationship will be very stable if the general environment remains unchanged, but it does not mean that the relationship between the two sides is really as close as family.
Since Umbrella has a demand for armed helicopters, even though they have strong technology, they may choose to build them themselves, but there will probably be a shortage of stock in the short term.
This can be regarded as a reward for the excellent materials.
Why would the bear cooperate so well?
joke!
This will be the price of F22 after mass production !
Even Hengsan, the number one sucker, only spent 100 million yuan to buy the beautiful MH60R attack helicopter.
Then someone even more ruthless came here!
No matter how much the Russians brag, there is indeed a big gap between their equipment and that of the United States.
As a beautiful helicopter in service, MH60R does have excellent performance, so it is somewhat reasonable for Hengsan to be the scapegoat.
However, Umbrella is willing to purchase it at a unit price of 150 million. If calculated based on the Ka-28 marine helicopter exported by the Russian Federation, the cost would only be a few million US dollars.
It’s not that they don’t want to be reserved, it’s just that the offer is too high!
And because of Russia's consistent procrastination, Umbrella proposed a spot transaction. Second-hand goods are also fine as long as the quality is ensured.
The two parties also signed an order worth 1.5 billion, including subsequent maintenance and upkeep!
This sky-high price and unfair order was obviously difficult to conceal, and it eventually caused a heated discussion on the Internet.
"On how rich Umbrella is!"
"Old Cold War-era attack helicopter sold for sky-high price!"
What is Umbrella afraid of?
"How much protection can ten armed helicopters provide to Penglai City?"
Various news headlines appeared, leaving many netizens who had no concept of numbers a little confused.
Umbrella is rich, that's nothing.
However, after seeing some price comparisons and learning about the Ka-28, I immediately started swearing.
"He is indeed very wealthy."
"A helicopter comparable to the F22?"
"I have a share in this, haha~"
"The bracelet we bought has now become this?"
"No, only a small part of it turned into this..."
"But Umbrella is really rich."
"This is just throwing money at the Russian bear and making him stupid."
As for the armed helicopters purchased by Umbrella on an expedited basis, after they arrived, they still attracted a little attention from those people at Da Piaoliang who were preparing to "check for contraband".
However, after learning that there were only ten Ka-28s, they all smiled disdainfully.
Oh no, maybe he sensed something and was eager to arm himself.
To be honest, ten Ka-28s do have some deterrent effect, but given the helicopters' weak defense and range, what's the point of relying solely on this for defense?
Just stick with the original plan of one destroyer!
Just install more anti-aircraft missiles.
Even a single soldier's shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missile can shoot down a helicopter, and a ship-borne missile can completely shoot it down outside the enemy's range...
