Chapter 531 Fireworks Take Off! (Fourth Update!)
Lin Yu's blind date was just a small episode, and compared to the announcement they made, it was simply not worth mentioning.
On Rheinland Digital's shopping website, as soon as you click into the website, you can see a bright notice.
In addition, the overall configuration of the entire shopping website is orange-red, coupled with the red announcement, there is a trace of residual murderous aura in the joyful atmosphere of the website.
In contrast, various military forums also exploded.
"Excuse me, it has been confirmed that a missile is indeed going to be launched from the southwest of Shandong Province!"
"Brother, who did you ask for confirmation? Can you give me a contact information? I want to chat with him."
"Those two big brothers in front of me, brother, I am a little short of money, can I lend you a head to use?"
"Brothers, the time has come to make a fortune. Have you seen those people in front? Each person is worth at least tens of thousands. If we catch a few more, it will be hundreds of thousands."
"Damn it, I didn't expect to see an intercontinental missile launch again in my lifetime, and the news was clearly labeled as an intercontinental missile launch."
"Yes, I remember that the last time we launched an intercontinental missile, we used the excuse of a rocket test launch. This shows that we are more confident."
"Can anyone please explain the origin of Rheinmetall? Is it the branch of Rheinmetall in Germany?"
"You think too highly of Rheinmetall. Those people are only better at making tanks. The rest of their equipment is hard to describe."
"A friendly reminder, with the combat power of Rheinsteel, it can easily defeat 60% of the countries in the world."
"Be bold, 80%! If I remember correctly, I have a retired cousin, and the job assigned to him by the Ministry of Armed Forces is to go to Rheinsteel, and he seems to be a bodyguard."
"Damn it! Isn't Rheinsteel engaged in construction? I've seen him here in the Middle East, and he looks very qualified at first glance."
"They have construction business, but most of them are engaged in military industry. I heard from my classmates in Lanling that the wages in this company are very high, but the various requirements are very troublesome, but it is worth it."
"Ah...why don't we have such a big company here!"
"Even if the name is stolen from someone else's company, what use can it have? What kind of technology can it have?"
"Um... I just checked the information. This company is a central enterprise, a direct enterprise under the State-owned Assets Management Office. It is on the same level as the Power Grid, Petroleum, Nuclear Industry and Aviation. I read their recruitment announcement two days ago. A graduate degree or above is required.”
"Fuck, so cruel?"
"Oh, that's not right. The companies in the power grid, petroleum, nuclear industry and aviation were all companies that existed before and were slowly restructured. Where did this company come from?"
"According to my gossip, I heard that the boss of this company is a young man in his 20s. He is tall, handsome, and extremely handsome. Moreover, he is still unmarried."
"Damn it, whose prince is this?"
"I don't know, but it doesn't seem like he is the prince."
"Isn't he the prince? Then can you help me ask him what kind of girls he likes?"
"Why are girls so important as missiles? Ask them if they can build airplanes!"
"Don't ask if you're not supposed to know. All you need to know is that on May 17, they are going to launch an intercontinental missile."
"It's so exciting. I just want to know if there will be any news footage on the night of May 17."
"Probably not!"
Compared with the noisy domestic forums, foreign forums have exploded into a pot of porridge.
After all, it is called an intercontinental missile, and the only purpose of an intercontinental missile is to carry nuclear weapons.
When conventional short-range missiles and medium-range missiles are technologies beyond the reach of some countries, the launch of an intercontinental missile contains too much meaning.
Europe.
Germany, Stuttgart.
Contino, the executive director of Rheinmetall, sat at the conference round table. Opposite him were several senior officials from the American European Theater Command.
The person in the middle is Bud, the commander of the European Theater of Operations.
At this moment, Lieutenant General Bader was looking at the photo in his hand with a joking face.
This is a color photo, or, more appropriately, a screenshot of the website.
In the center of the orange screenshot, there is a line of text, big red text.
Seeing the string of words in his eyes, his brows darkened, and Bud threw the photo across the way, in front of Continuo.
Then he tapped the table with his index finger and asked in a cold voice: "What else do you Rheinmetall have to say?"
The photo with the main colors of vermilion and orange fell in front of him. Contino slowly closed his eyes, then opened them suddenly, stood up directly, and roared at the person opposite:
"I'll say it again, we at Rheinmetall have not opened a branch in China, let alone built a factory there."
"Last time we said we would open a branch in China and then get involved in Russian business."
"Now you are going even further and directly saying that we can build intercontinental missiles."
"If you want to put someone in a shit basin, you have to find a suitable shit basin, right?"
"Can our company build intercontinental missiles? Can our company build intercontinental missiles under your surveillance and avoid your surveillance?"
"I think you are all fucking crazy!"
"Is that thing around your neck used to make you taller? Or can it be used as a football?"
"Or is it just a decoration?"
Faced with his repeated questions, Bud seemed very calm. When all the sounds disappeared, he slowly raised his hands and clapped.
The sound of snapping, coupled with the faint smile on his face, was full of mockery.
Facing Contino's gritted gaze, he said in as gentle a voice as possible:
"Indeed, you do not have the ability to avoid our surveillance and build intercontinental missiles."
"What if you escape our surveillance?"
"Exactly, Rheinmetall, Rheinsteel, China!"
"Putting these things together, I can't help but think about it."
Opposite him, Contino gritted his teeth and swept his cold eyes over the people in front of him, looking at the people in front of him with uncertainty.
He is not a fool.
A fool cannot reach the top of Rheinmetall.
These people in front of them pulled some unrelated things together, used it mechanically, and put this shit basin on their heads without any appearance at all. That means one thing, the truth is not important to them.
Even if there is no Rheinsteel, there will be London Steel or Berlin Steel in the future.
Their goal from beginning to end was Rheinmetall, or the Rheinmetall stocks they controlled.
Taking a deep breath and looking at Bud across from him, Contino asked coldly: "Tell me your conditions! If the conditions are acceptable, I promise you!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people across the conference table showed expressions that this old boy had finally figured it out.
Then they all turned their attention to Bard in the middle. It was obvious that Bard was directing all of this from behind.
In full view of everyone, Bud slowly raised his hands, bent the three fingers of his left hand, and combined with the five fingers of his right hand, finally came up with the number 7.
Shaking his hands, he looked at the opposite side calmly and said:
"Seventy percent! I want seventy percent!"
The moment he heard the number clearly, Contino went berserk again, pointed at the person opposite and yelled: "Why the hell didn't you grab it?"
However, in the face of his scolding, Bud seemed very calm, patted the non-existent dust on his shoulder, and responded:
"Aren't I just robbing you?"
…………
Lanling.
Rocket R&D Center.
Looking at the oversized container lying on the open ground, Awad couldn't help but touch it. Finally, he retracted his hand and turned his gaze to Lin Yu behind him.
After watching for a while, he rubbed his hands excitedly and asked the person opposite:
"Is this thing for sale?"
Next to him, listening to Awad's voice, Lin Yu retracted his gaze from Said and others not far away, fell on Awad, rolled his eyes, and replied: "It's useless if you buy it. ”
The merciless words did not disgust Awad. Instead, he stood in front of the container more obsessively, raising his hand and stroking it.
His eyes were blurred, his movements were gentle, his fingertips touched the container lightly, and he immediately jumped away like an electric shock. After looking at it for a while, he boldly leaned over, clicked, and then jumped away again.
That way, it was like touching the most beautiful woman in the world.
After touching back and forth like this for a while, he said as if talking to himself:
"To be honest, if it weren't for you, I might never be able to touch an intercontinental missile in my life."
"By the way, why did you think about stuffing the missile into the container?"
"This thing is being pulled along the road. No one knows whether it is real or not. It is so confusing."
"If there are several such cars running on our Saudi soil, Americans will have to weigh them."
The voice of talking to himself became louder and louder. Lin Yu listened to it all and did not respond too much.
After a while, seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Yu walked toward the crowd not far away and said to Zhou Changyao:
"Old man, it's 7:30, it's time to set up the launcher."
Zhou Changyao, who was talking to Said and others, after hearing these words, the faint smile on his face disappeared, and his eyes were only steady.
He turned back and nodded his head gently towards Lin Yu:
"Set up the launcher."
After receiving the order, Lin Yu turned around and waved his big hand to the team of engineers next to him.
The engineers who received the order immediately ran to the container and manipulated the control area in front of the container for a moment. The container opened, revealing the long, thick and large intercontinental missile inside.
Unlike other intercontinental missiles, the warhead of this intercontinental missile is a uniquely shaped duck head.
Pointy, flat.
As the hydraulic valve started, the hydraulic rod slowly supported the big guy to stand up, and finally stood completely, ready for launch.
It only took 8 minutes from the time the engineer received the order to the time the launch was ready.
Seeing the minute hand reaching 7:48, Lin Yu connected the launch button and handed it to Zhou Changyao.
Zhou Changyao held it in both hands and gave it to Said without even a moment's pause. At the same time, he warned: "Press it on time at 7:50."
This launch control button, which is more than a foot long, is very heavy and requires two hands to hold it.
However, Said did not dislike it, but firmly held the launch button in his arms.
There is more than a minute left, I need to take a good look at this thing.
Maybe this is the only experience in this life!
No!
Maybe it’s an experience that only happens once in a few lifetimes!
Must grasp it well!
Take a good look!
At this moment, Sayid turned into a child who had just received a toy, touching the control button up and down, left and right.
Seeing him like this, Lin Yu sighed, turned and walked to the other side, and grabbed another controller in his hand where he couldn't see.
This is the real thing.
After 10 seconds, the countdown of 30 seconds sounded, and the alarm sounded.
Sayid quickly put the control box on the ground and stared at the red button in the middle intently. Just press this button, and the test missile of the intercontinental missile in front of him will take off.
Then, it will crash more than 10,000 kilometers away.
Perfect!
Finally, the countdown is over!
Sayid didn't hesitate at all. He punched the red button directly. At the moment he punched it, Lin Yu, who could see his movements from a distance, also pressed the launch button.
The next second, the missile erected on the container was ejected, followed by a thick black smoke like insoluble ink, which spewed out from the tail of the missile.
Forcefully push the missile up a distance.
After a moment, the black smoke from the missile turned into white smoke, pushing the missile straight into space.
In a moment, it disappeared from everyone's sight.
When it could no longer be seen with the naked eye, Lin Yu waved his hand and asked people to go to the control room.
Awad looked back every few steps and followed Lin Yu slowly. When he was about to reach the control room, he stopped Lin Yu and asked:
"Why is there no such thing as hypersonic speed in intercontinental missiles?"
Faced with his question, Lin Yu stopped, rubbed his temples with both hands, and explained:
"The biggest difference between intercontinental missiles and ordinary missiles is that intercontinental missiles need to leave the earth first, enter a small section of space, and then shut down the engine and rely on inertia to move forward."
"After flying a certain distance, the rocket engine is turned on again, and the power is added. During the propulsion process, the weight is unloaded, and finally only one warhead hits the target."
"Because they are re-entering orbits from outer space, the speed of these warheads is very fast, basically reaching more than Mach 20, and the faster ones can reach Mach 27 or 28."
"So..."
"This thing can only be intercepted during launch. Once the launch is successful, you can wait to die."
After explaining, Lin Yu reached out and scratched his butt, turned around, pushed open the door of the control room and walked in.
The missile was moving very fast. In the time the two men were delayed, the missile had already entered the space 300 kilometers high, and had shut down its engine, and was moving forward at a high speed relying on inertia.
Seeing the signal displayed on the central display, Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh.
Navigation satellites were still not enough, and we still had to get a few synchronous orbit satellites, otherwise, the signal would still be poor.
