Chapter 1140 The Situation Is Reversed

To be fair, although the ring project ended abruptly in an anticlimactic manner, it still progressed normally for a few years at the beginning.

To say that there are no results at all, that’s not the case.

For example, the processing methods of the Air Police 200, including the large-size rectangular antenna array of the 346A radar, largely referred to the technical routes proposed by IAI in the Ring Project.

But in the final analysis, this is only a trivial matter for an early warning aircraft.

Moreover, there are many countries that have mastered similar technologies. If you had just taken a fancy to these small and small companies, you would not have spent a lot of money to cooperate with your country.

Compared with the resources China has poured into the ring project and the nearly ten years of effort it has put in, the benefits gained from it are simply negligible.

Huaxia, as Party A, is fully aware of this, and IAI, as Party B, cannot be unaware of this.

So Fan Jimin quickly guessed that the reason why Mavita did this deliberately was probably because he didn't understand the specific situation at this time and thought that he was already sure...

When people suddenly relax after a long period of high tension, they will need a channel to pour out their emotions.

Mavita's choice was to ridicule the "defeated men" in front of him to make up for the fear he had felt during this period.

After figuring this out, Fan Jimin not only didn't really feel red, but he suddenly woke up——

Ridicule must be based on facts.

First make it impossible for others to refute, and then you can make the opponent break their defense.

Just like if you said Newton was good at mathematics, he might just smile.

But if you dare to ridicule him for stock trading, Lord Niu will let you perform a show where a head and an apple fall to the ground at the same time.

Fan Jimin now falls into the former situation.

After all, the "smart" early warning system, let alone the Ring Project, is completely different from China's own Air Police 200/2000.

Optically controlled phased array radar.

Although many countries have some technical reserves in this field, even small prototypes.

However, the feasibility of replacing electricity with light is still widely discussed.

As for implementing it into the project, it is only this one, and there is no semicolon.

"We definitely learned a lot...in a sense."

He smiled abruptly.

He even took a step forward and shook Mavita's hand.

This is not a lie.

Although there is nothing technically gained.

But I learned a lesson on the ground.

The research and development of core equipment can never rely on foreigners.

Moreover, if the ring project is really completed successfully, then China is probably still digesting and absorbing those four aircraft.

There are simply no extra resources to promote independent research and development projects.

As a technician from the 14th Institute of Electrical Engineering, Fan Jimin is somewhat grateful to David for his lack of integrity...

On the opposite side, Mavita was a little frightened by this somewhat abnormal reaction.

Originally, according to his estimation, the group of people in front of him should either have frowning faces and expressions ashen as death, or they should be fighting tit-for-tat with each other.

No matter which reaction it was, he had a way to fight back further.

But this kind of painless response made him very uncomfortable.

There is a feeling of charging up a punch, but the result is empty.

The originally tit-for-tat atmosphere between the two groups also cooled down a bit.

After all, we are all decent people, and it is impossible for a head-on conflict to break out in a place like this.

So they each sat down separately, emphasizing the importance of being out of sight and out of mind.

"Lao Fan, how long do you think...their airport will have to be closed?"

Marin asked Fan Jimin in a low voice while pouring a glass of water for each of them.

"It's hard to say..."

The latter took the water glass and drank it in one gulp, then shook his head:

"There are many staff at Albatin Palace Airport, and there are hundreds of ground staff alone. And I have observed in the past few days that their management level and organizational discipline are very poor. Those who have access to those unmanned target drones are far away. It’s not just the ground crew in a specific range...if we screen them one by one, I’m afraid it would take ten days and a half to complete..."

"So long?"

Compared to Fan Jimin, Marin is still young after all:

"Do we need to contact the country?"

Because they were in the Dassault delegation, the status assigned to them before they came out was considered as overseas personnel, rather than simply going abroad on business.

The restrictions are much smaller.

But even so, if contact is lost for a long time, problems will arise.

"Let's see what's going on first."

Fan Jimin was not too anxious:

"With such a large scope of investigation, they don't seem to want to make a big fuss. Let alone looking for evidence. As long as the person who did it doesn't take the initiative to blow himself up, it's impossible to even find the suspect..."

"I guess they might still want to make a show so that they can explain things internally..."

Not far away, after Mavita calmed down, his clever IQ gradually regained the high ground.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Even if the leading people on the other side have extraordinary psychological qualities, they can remain calm in the face of a sudden test failure.

But the same cannot be said for everyone else in the delegation.

However, after the two parties separated, he observed the atmosphere on the other side of the reception room and still couldn't see anything unusual at all.

After thinking about it again and again, Mavita felt that she could no longer sit here and wait for the result.

For this selection task, IAI established a small-scale office in Abu Dhabi.

He planned to go back there to meet with Elan Kops and analyze the current situation.

By the way, he would contact his superior who was waiting for news in Tel Aviv.

Thinking of this, Mavita decisively took out his mobile phone and called the driver waiting outside the airport.

Then he stood up and prepared to leave.

Almost subconsciously, before taking a step, he glanced in the direction of the Dassault delegation in the distance.

But I don’t know if it was a coincidence, the two Chinese people just now also raised their heads and looked at him.

There was no sign of retreat in their eyes.

So, the three people’s sights crossed in mid-air for a moment.

In contrast, Mavita, who was sneaking a glance with his peripheral vision, fell behind.

This once again stimulated his extremely sensitive nerves from just now.

So, Mavita decided to say goodbye to the other party as a winner before leaving.

After all, if nothing unexpected happens, there will be no chance for everyone to meet again in the future.

…

Before Mavita took a step, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

The sound echoed in the quiet and empty reception room, which was extremely harsh.

He had to take out his phone.

Before pressing the answer button, he did not forget to look over there provocatively.

However…

"Manager, the airport is blocked."

The first sentence from inside made Mavita feel like being struck by lightning.

"Blocked... blocked?"

He quickly lowered his voice, but still couldn't hide the trembling in it:

"When did it happen?"

"Right now."

The driver on the opposite side also had some tension in his tone:

"I drove in and found that the guards were replaced by soldiers in camouflage uniforms. They told me that there was a sudden security threat at the airport, so I could go in, but I couldn't leave until the blockade was lifted..."

"..."

Mavita couldn't hear the rest of the content.

"Boom--"

He only felt the blood rushing up, and his mind was blank.

Even his vision became blurred...

Fortunately, he didn't have time to take a step just now, so he just fell back on the sofa with a bang.

For a while afterwards, Mavita seemed to be out of his body, and he didn't know what happened.

In short, when he regained consciousness, he found that he had hung up the phone at some point.

"What should I do now?"

Mavita forced himself to calm down and began to review the situation in front of him.

Security threat, he didn't believe a single letter of this nonsense.

If there is a security threat, the first thing should be to evacuate the people in the airport. How can they only allow people in but not out?

In this case, there seems to be only one possibility left -

The UAE discovered the abnormality in the unmanned target aircraft in advance and is blocking the scene to investigate the insider...

At this moment, there are only four words left in Mavita's mind.

"Big trouble!"

But... how is this possible?

On the one hand, he didn't want to believe it.

On the other hand, he really couldn't figure it out.

In dealing with the GCC countries, if Mossad considers itself second, then no one dares to be first.

The plan should be flawless. This is not the first time they have done something similar, so they are familiar with it.

And everything that happened before was perfectly in line with the plan.

It means that there was no error in the execution.

After excluding the first two possibilities, only the last explanation remained.

"Did something go wrong during the test?"

No matter how powerful David was, he could not let anyone infiltrate the plane.

So, he didn't know what happened in the sky.

But this was also unreasonable.

Unless there was targeted preparation in advance, the low-power forwarding interference would be almost indistinguishable from the self-interference/background interference from the situation presented by the radar.

Even if it was discovered, it should be some time later.

From beginning to end, Mavita had never considered that someone had predicted all his predictions...

He just felt his mind getting more and more dizzy.

So, he decided to skip this question for the time being.

No matter what the reason was, the attempt to dig a hole for the competitor during the test phase had failed.

The more important thing next was that the other party could not find out the whole story.

He looked back outside the reception room and didn't see any heavy guards.

This meant that his activities inside the airport were still unrestricted.

This made Mavita feel a little relieved.

"Maybe there is still a chance..."

"The other party may have just found some anomalies, and may not have really got the jamming device..."

"Even if they got it, there is no evidence to prove that we put it there..."

He kept telling himself in his heart.

Unless the UAE can get evidence, even if the worst happens, that is, the jammer is directly found on the unmanned target aircraft, it will end up in vain.

This is the confidence that David gave him.

According to what the driver said just now, the other party obviously didn't want to make a big fuss and chose a relatively low-key approach.

And because of its special status, the Albatin Palace Airport cannot be blocked for a long time.

So, as long as the bribed informant can keep his hands off until the airport has to be reopened, nothing will happen...

Once again, Mavita subconsciously looked in the direction of the Dassault delegation.

It was still the two Chinese.

Like statues.

Their postures did not change from before, and their eyes were still pointed in his direction.

But this time, the two lines of sight were so dazzling.

So much so that Mavita was like a balloon pricked by a needle, and all his momentum was instantly deflated...
