Chapter 858 Weapon Expo

"Cooperation? With me?"

Lu Yu looked at him in surprise, and frowned slightly: "We don't know each other, what kind of cooperation do you want to discuss with me?"

"Hehe, Senior Colonel Lu, although we have never met before, we are very impressed with your name!"

Huakang smiled slightly: "Especially the electromagnetic rifle you made, I really admire it! So, this time, I would like to talk to you about weapon manufacturing. In addition, next month, our company will hold a An international arms fair, I would like to invite you to attend."

"International Arms Expo?" Lu Yu was taken aback, he had never heard of this.

"That's right!" Huakang said: "Our country holds an arms expo every three years to showcase our most advanced equipment to the world, and then find reliable channels to export it to foreign countries."

Lu Yu nodded clearly.

Weapons are always the foundation for this country to stand in the world.

The sale of weapons and equipment is definitely a huge profit.

It can be said that the largest arms dealer in the world is a country!

For example, the Americans rank first in the number of weapons exported to all parts of the world every year.

They earn not only profits from the weapons themselves, but also considerable taxes from the export of weapons.

Lu Yu asked: "The overseas version of the electromagnetic rifle has been built, should you receive it?"

Huakang said with a smile: "Thanks to the export version of electromagnetic rifles manufactured by Colonel Lu, we have earned countless profits from them! Moreover, the code names of these rifles have been chosen, and they will be officially displayed at this expo." debut."

Lu Yu asked suspiciously: "Then why are you still looking for me? The electromagnetic rifle has been handed over to you, so why don't you let me go over and be your explainer?"

"Hehe, Colonel Lu, you really know how to joke!"

Huakang clapped his palms and laughed: "Actually, the purpose of my coming to you this time is not the electromagnetic rifle, but the armed helicopter recently developed by your military factory! I hope to bring it to the expo for exhibition."

Um?

Lu Yu frowned tightly and stared at him firmly: "Do you know what you are talking about? You are not kidding me!"

"I am serious!"

Huakang said solemnly: "I know, you have just received an order for ten helicopters from the headquarters, and they will be delivered within a year. Presumably your factory has already rushed to work now? I mean, I hope to extract one helicopter from it, Of course, the function must be castrated, and it is only a semi-finished product for overseas export."

Lu Yu leaned on the sofa, crossed his legs and crossed his fingers: "Mr. Hua, you know, what you are telling me now is related to state secrets? I have no right to agree to your request."

"Hehe, Colonel Lu, don't rush to refuse, just read this before you talk."

Hua Kang smiled faintly, took out a document from his briefcase, and placed it in front of Lu Yu.

Lu Yu's pupils shrank, because the document was actually stamped with the seal of the Executive Yuan and the dean's signature.

"Colonel Lu, without the authorization from above, would I come to you casually? Even if I have a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to step in here!"

Hua Kang took a sip of tea: "In addition, your Minister Zhang also knows about this matter. If you don't believe me, you can call and ask."

Lu Yu was speechless.

Call up? The approval document is right in front of you, is it necessary to make a phone call?

This guy is right in saying that since everyone is working for the country, no matter what the order is, just follow it.

"When do you want to deliver it?" Lu Yu asked thoughtfully.

"Just half a month!"

Huakang said decisively: "I know that the construction speed of your military merit factory is not slow, and the first helicopter was manufactured in half a month last time! So, follow the requirements I just mentioned, but one requirement must be met .”

"any request?"

"Although it is a castrated version of the aircraft, the control must be in our hands. A top-secret chip must be installed in each aircraft to ensure the monopoly of technology."

Huakang said solemnly: "We only sell weapons, not core technologies! This is also the practice of the whole world."

"it is good!"

Lu Yu didn't feel wrong about this.

Technology is the core source for a country to always remain strong.

Once the core technology is shared with others, there will be a tragedy of teaching apprentices and starving masters to death.

This is an extremely dangerous thing!

For example, the United States maintains a technological monopoly worldwide all year round and does not sell fighters such as the F22 Raptor.

Even their Apache helicopters are all castrated versions for export, and their various performances are far from the full domestic versions.

Even so, the technology of all weapons is blocked in their own hands.

As long as there is a problem, no one else can fix it, only Lao Mi sends someone to repair it.

The weapons were sold, and I made a lot of money, but the right to speak was still in the hands of others.

This is the status growth achieved by technological blockade.

Now in international exchanges, the use of weapons to achieve diplomatic trade is the most commonly used means.

"Delivery in half a month, call me before you come!"

Lu Yu nodded and was about to get up and get out of the car.

"Wait!" Hua Kang suddenly stopped Lu Yu and said, "After half a month, I still hope that Senior Colonel Lu will join me in the expo!"

Lu Yu wondered, "Why must I go?"

Hua Kang said: "These weapons are all made by you, and you know better than others! The country has the intention of exporting this aspect, you might as well take this opportunity to sell it well. As the developer of the weapons, it is better for us if you come to help us!" "

"Okay!" Lu Yu thought for a while and agreed.

Anyway, this is a matter of convenience, and it will not take much effort.

Back at the military factory, An Ran pulled Lu Yu curiously and asked, "Who came to look for you?"

Lu Yu shrugged: "The president of the national ordnance enterprise, the higher-ups sent him here, and even found us a job."

Seeing that An Ran didn't understand, Lu Yu simply explained: "The higher-ups are interested in the profit of our aircraft and plan to export it. It seems that we have to increase our workload! During this time, we can only trouble you a lot!"

Lu Yu didn't say much.

It's not good to talk too much about this kind of thing, even to those closest to you.

Just let An Ran know what happened.

After returning to the office, without delay, Lu Yu immediately began to design a castrated version with reduced functions for the existing aircraft.

It is difficult to improve the performance of an aircraft.

However, it is relatively easy to compress the various performances of an aircraft.

It only took one afternoon, and Lu Yu basically finished the work.

A brand-new helicopter design drawing was released after its performance was compressed.

Lu Yu saves the simple configuration of the aircraft's external materials and fire control system, kinetic energy system, etc.

It reduces the manufacturing cost and castrates the powerful capabilities of most aircraft.

But no matter how simple it is, this plane still has to surpass the Apache of the United States in all directions.

Although it is not as good as the previous performance, it is still the king compared with other aircraft of the same type in the world.

Just when Lu Yu devoted himself to the creation of a new type of aircraft.

Outside the special forces camp, three uninvited guests ushered in...
