Chapter 534: Nan Ming Wants to Buy a Ship
On New Year's Eve, Nan Ming received a call. Nan Ming thought it was a New Year call, but when he picked it up, what came from the phone was a series of birdsong.
The person on the phone said happy new year first, and then said cautiously: "I'm Brick Wood! Xiao Wu!"
"Oh! You! How's my tritium?" Nan Ming just remembered that the caller was Brick Wood, an engineer from the National Ignition Laboratory, who promised to send 50 tritium to Nan Ming. Gram tritium engineer.
When Nan Ming heard his call, he thought that his tritium had a clue.
Now, for Nan Ming, everything is ready and it is only due to Dongfeng. He only needs to wait for Brick Wood to send the 50 grams of tritium, and then he can play boom boom boom.
Brick Wood said carefully: "Sir, I have some good news. After my application, I can help you get 70 grams of tritium."
"Really? That's great!" Although Nan Ming said it was great, he always had a smile on his face, because he felt that Brick Wood had something else to say.
Brick Wood is a rigorous nuclear physics expert. It was agreed to give him 50 grams, but suddenly it became 70 grams. There is always a reason.
"But now there is a problem...we can't ship tritium into China..." Wood said, "I tried to declare it through customs, but it was rejected. We contacted several dangerous goods transportation companies, but these companies can only Carrying nuclear shipments domestically and to a few European countries...I even tried some illegal channels...The results only made the people on the review committee question my ability to do my job, I have let you down, sir."
"Xiao Wu, when did you foreigners start playing good news and bad news?" Nan Ming was speechless, if it couldn't be shipped in, how much use would it be?
Wood also seemed ashamed, drooping his head and being speechless.
In fact, Nanming is still to blame for this matter. After Lazy God Technology was invaded last time, Nanming messed up the intelligence and security departments. Qing Zhongtang was furious, and the security level of the entire security department was further improved.
Now there are countless security personnel who are working overtime and scolding their mothers at the same time.
But Nan Ming didn't think it was his fault, he was just very dissatisfied with these people, very dissatisfied.
"You NIF people are really unreliable in doing things, what about Lao Ge? Is he not able to send it in for me?" Nan Ming said.
"I'm sorry, I can't do this either." Actually, Grant was listening by the side, and said with a sad face upon hearing this.
Wood hurriedly remedied: "Sir, in about a month, one of our aircraft carrier fleets will conduct a joint military exercise in the waters of Southeast Asia. We can carry tritium fuel to one of the frigates. If you want... we Tritium can be handed over to you on the high seas..." Wood said.
For a lazy person like him, the most irresistible thing is the temptation of door-to-door delivery. If he needs to pick up the goods himself, it will be uncomfortable.
Nan Ming touched his nose and suddenly felt a little different.
Asking American warships to help him smuggle tritium... I always feel that I am playing a bit big.
But this seems to be the best way.
"Sir, if you agree, the advance fleet of the exercise fleet will sail to the nearby waters to prepare for the military exercise in 7 days. You can contact us at any time." Wood said, "If possible, please as soon as possible!"
After hanging up the phone, Nan Ming was a little worried, he must hurry up.
At least before all the fleets arrive.
A month later, the European and American joint military exercises began, and domestic targeted military exercises will also be carried out. The two sides are at war in the South China Sea. When aircraft carriers and warships of several countries are playing heartbeats across the border, Nan Ming swaggers from One of the U.S. warships brought down a can of tritium, then waved his hands and said, "Keep staring and rolling up your sleeves, ignore me, you are busy..."
It is estimated that if Nan Ming is not killed by the bomb, he will be shot and collapsed by Qingzhong Yang when he comes back.
Wait, don't think too much, the problem now is that Nanming doesn't have a boat at all.
When it comes to boats, the first thing that comes to mind is naturally Feng Tianyou.
At this time, Feng Tianyou was so happy that he couldn't think of leaving. When he received the call from Nan Ming, his smile almost came out of the phone: "Do you want a ship? What kind of ship? Do you want an aircraft carrier! Hahahaha, you will never believe it, I On the aircraft carrier now!"
Nan Ming pouted, what's unbelievable?
As Qingzhong Yang said, as long as he can meet Lao Chu's conditions, even if he wants to live on the aircraft carrier.
On the same day, Lao Chu took Feng Tianyou back to the base.
For many people, the aircraft carrier is indeed a secret, but in fact, it is just a refit of an old Russian aircraft carrier that has been in the water for many years.
The significance of its existence is not a technological breakthrough. The concept of an aircraft carrier already existed during the First World War. Decades ago, people were already flying aircraft carriers to fight.
Owning an aircraft carrier, the more difficult point is not the technology, but its maintenance cost and personnel training.
Before that, not many people knew how to configure, how to maintain, how to train, and how to fight in an aircraft carrier fleet that fit the national conditions.
Everything before was just talk on paper, and now I finally have the opportunity for actual combat.
That's all.
In fact, the reason why we only have an aircraft carrier now is more because we can finally afford to support an aircraft carrier-because of the huge maintenance costs of the aircraft carrier, many countries have already cut it out of the navy's sequence, or even just keep it. The number of one ship proves that there are still more.
Now that the satellite is clear enough to see a screw on the ground, and there are various detection methods, it is more of an attitude to take confidentiality measures for the aircraft carrier.
But to Feng Tianyou, it doesn't matter what is objective and subjective. The point is that an aircraft carrier is the king of ships, and a person who loves ships will definitely like something.
Of course, Feng Tianyou didn't just board the boat casually, which was against the rules, but Lao Chu had a very good reason.
Feng Tianyou is an expert in aerodynamics specially invited.
Feng Tianyou definitely has the qualifications.
"Mr. Nan, look, look at the group!" Feng Tianyou was so excited that he seemed to be crazy, and sent a lot of photos.
Nan Ming opened the group and saw that Feng Tianyou was madly posting selfies of himself on the aircraft carrier in the group. He was everywhere in the canteen, engine room, deck, and in front of the plane.
He didn't know where to find a heroic female officer in a white military uniform as a tour guide, and took a photo with him. This dealt a heavy blow to the singles in the group, and he was currently accepting it with pride. Everyone's condemnation.
"If you like, I will build you one." Nan Ming said.
"Really?" Feng Tianyou was really shocked at this moment, "Monks don't lie, Mr. Nan, you have to keep your word!"
"Of course, isn't it an aircraft carrier? The cost of Nimitz is only 4 billion US dollars, and the maintenance is only 400 million US dollars a year. You can earn this money by working harder." Nan Ming said.
"Mr. Nan, you make fun of me!" Hearing what Nan Ming said, Feng Tianyou was not happy.
That's not 40 yuan, that's 4 billion!
Still dollars!
"Why are you making fun of you? What? Don't you have the confidence to make enough money for an aircraft carrier in a year? Then build a medium-sized one, more than one billion US dollars is enough." Nan Ming said, "Based on your ability, earning 1.5 billion US dollars is not enough. Difficult."
To be honest, Nanming can't afford 4 billion dollars now, and if it's 1.5 billion, I'm really not afraid.
Of course, he didn't pay for this kind of thing, Feng Tianyou had to pay for it himself.
Feng Tianyou is a ship fanatic, what he is obsessed with is the aircraft carrier itself which is the largest ship, not other things.
In fact, the aircraft carrier itself is not expensive, but if you add carrier-based aircraft and an escort fleet, it will be more expensive. If you don’t need these things, you can add a medium-sized aircraft carrier and a frigate, and you can get a full set of 2 billion: “When the time comes, I will recruit some retired naval officers for you. Go and laugh proudly across the oceans and seas, and be the king of the high seas!"
"What's the point of making a small one? Make a big one!" Feng Tianyou still thought Nan Ming was joking, "Just make a Nimitz-level one, and then I will be the Pirate King, and I will rob whoever I like. , you can attack any seaport you like..."
"Yeah, I have ambition!" Nan Ming said, "As long as you help me get one thing done, I can even create a flying aircraft carrier for SHIELD."
"What's the matter? Tell me!" Feng Tianyou patted his chest.
"Buy me a boat." Nan Ming said.
"Huh?" Feng Tianyou was taken aback, "Mr. Nan, do you want to buy a yacht?"
Suddenly changing the topic from an aircraft carrier to buying a yacht, this style of painting has changed a bit.
"Any kind of boat is fine. It should be bigger than a yacht and faster. I want to transport something." Nan Ming said.
"That's good, I'll buy it right away in a few years!" Feng Tianyou said cheerfully.
Nan Ming rolled his eyes, if you wait a few years later, will you still be needed? Can't buy a boat by waving a check?
For a new rich man like Nan Ming, some account managers from various yacht companies and private jet companies surround him, and it is annoying to receive sales calls.
The problem now is that, approaching the end of the year, all walks of life in China have stagnated.
Moreover, buying a boat is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it usually needs to be booked half a year or even a year in advance.
Just like the joke that went viral in the circle of friends, on this day, China’s economy completely collapsed, factories shut down, the stock market shut down, banks closed, people flocked to the streets instead of working, staying at home did not work, calling friends, playing games It can be called an "epic disaster blockbuster", and this is the Spring Festival.
"Very anxious? Well, I'll find a way." Feng Tianyou said.
"Come on, don't just play, if you can earn 1.5 billion, I will really build you an aircraft carrier." Nan Ming said.
At this moment, Feng Tianyou suddenly stopped.
He could hear the seriousness in Nan Ming's tone, which meant... what Nan Ming said was true!
1.5 billion US dollars, what concept? Now Lazy Technology doesn't have so many assets yet.
He made 1.5 billion... dollars himself?
Feng Tianyou suddenly felt his blood boil.
is it possible? Impossible?
Feng Tianyou, Feng Tianyou, ask yourself, if you go all out to make money, is it possible to make this money in a short period of time like Mr. Nan?
The answer is yes!
Three months ago, Nanming had nothing, and everyone started from scratch, so the development was slow.
But now, they have already passed the stage of primitive accumulation, and have the technology that can truly change the world!
For example, the 3D printer, which is the "mother of the future manufacturing industry", can create endless value for him.
But Mr. Nan owns the 3D printer. What does he own?
nothing?
No, he is the world's top system integration expert, human resource management expert, and dynamic expert!
Always busy in the small circle drawn by Nanming, he sometimes loses himself and forgets what he can do.
Perhaps, letting them realize their true strength is the real reason why Nanming let them start their own business.
Feng Tianyou was holding the phone in a daze, when the heroic female officer beside him suddenly stood up and saluted beautifully: "Chief!"
"Xiaofeng, what are you thinking about?" Old Chu turned around with a smile, sat down beside Feng Tianyou, and waved his hands to signal the female officer to sit down too.
Today is the New Year's Eve, and he visited Feng Tianyou on the aircraft carrier, seeing that everything was in order and the officers and soldiers were in good spirits, so he stopped by to see Feng Tianyou again, to see if he was still used to it.
At this moment, he almost regarded Feng Tianyou as a treasure, and his own sons were not so close. When he saw Feng Tianyou, he smiled like a flower.
"Uncle Chu, can I ask you to do me a favor?" Feng Tianyou asked Old Chu.
"What's the matter? Tell me!" Old Chu patted his chest.
"I want to buy a boat."
"Buy a ship? What kind of ship? I know a lot of shipyards." Lao Chu is in the navy and has relationships with many shipyards. If Feng Tianyou wants to get a boat, help him find an internal price or something, it's simple very.
In fact, he doesn't need him for this matter, the female officer can handle it.
But Feng Tianyou wanted something, and it was exactly what he wanted. This is a good opportunity to build a good relationship with Feng Tianyou!
"It's bigger than a yacht, faster than a cargo ship, and no fishing boats." Feng Tianyou said Nanming's request, "The important thing is to have the goods in stock, and the speed must be fast..."
"Why do I think you're talking about buying a warship?" Old Chu stared.
It's bigger than a yacht, faster than a cargo ship, and it doesn't need a fishing boat. It's probably only a warship.
"Warship? Are you selling it?" Feng Tianyou immediately forgot Nan Ming's request, his eyes lit up.
"I do sell warships, but I can't sell them to you." Lao Chu was helpless. Everyone was doing things like arms business, but this thing can only be sold to the country, not to individuals!
In fact, domestically produced warships are quite popular in countries such as Southeast Asia and Africa.
"Hi!" Feng Tianyou was immediately disappointed, but he still earned enough 1.5 billion to ask Mr. Nan to help him build a reliable aircraft carrier.
After a while, Feng Tianyou returned the call to Nanming, and said: "Mr. Nan, buying a boat is very simple, but it's really hard to say in terms of time. Generally, small boats are fine. According to your requirements, there are not many suitable ones, and these large boats It is very troublesome to launch the boat or transfer ownership, at least you have to wait until the official start of work on the seventh day to go through the formalities.”
After the seventh day, it's too late.
"Mr. Nan, if you're not in a hurry, I'll build you a yacht..." Feng Tianyou said.
He can't afford to build an aircraft carrier, but it is still possible to help Nanming build a yacht.
Now he has a shipyard, a 3D printer, and a large enough dock. A small and medium-sized yacht is not a problem for him.
Nan Ming really wanted a yacht of his own, but now the problem is urgent.
Feng Tianyou gave Nan Ming another suggestion: "If it's just for temporary use, why not rent or borrow one?"
Nan Ming was confused, if it was just for ordinary use, then it would be easy to rent or borrow it casually.
But transporting tritium will not work.
Let’s not say that this matter must be kept secret, but if there are any residual side effects of this kind of radioactive substance, wouldn’t it be harming others?
Where can I get a boat then? (To be continued.)
