After much deliberation, Xia Yang still refused Nawaf's order for an early warning aircraft. Lawson was too proud of himself. It wasn't the first time that he was so angry that he was half-dead, but the key was that he couldn't beat himself up.

In the office, Xia Yang personally poured fragrant coffee for Nawaf before politely refusing, "Prince Nawaf, I have to let you down this time. I promised you to develop self-propelled artillery and missile defense systems before. I regret it very much. You

It is clear that Laisuo has too many product lines. Regardless of the sales of these weapons, the funds required to maintain the research and development and upgrade of these products alone are a huge expense."

"Actually, before you, the Spur Capital wanted to cooperate with me to develop early warning aircraft and promised to purchase no less than ten, but I still refused, so you can't let me slap myself in the face. I just refused the Spur Capital, but then turned around and said

I developed an early warning aircraft for you alone, so I can only say sorry to you this time."

Xia Yang felt that his rejection was straightforward enough, but Nawaf didn't even blink an eyelid. He was still sitting comfortably on the sofa and slowly sipping coffee. Even the expressions of the assistants he brought did not change at all.

Next, Xia Yang knew why Nawaf and his assistant were so sure that he would definitely agree to develop an early warning aircraft.

After Nawaf tasted the coffee, he smiled leisurely and said, "Mr. Xia, you know me. As long as it is a good product, I never bargain. If you ask for an early warning machine, you can ask whatever price you want, and I will never bargain."

Xia Yang suddenly froze, damn the rich man. For the first time, Xia Yang hated the rich man, even though he was also a big rich man himself.

But it was not over yet, Nawaf said relaxedly, "Actually, before I came to Spur, someone recommended the American early warning aircraft to me, and even allowed me to get it in stock, but I don't like the American early warning aircraft, because

The best early warning aircraft in the United States are all antiques from decades ago, and I need the most advanced early warning aircraft. In addition, and most importantly, the early warning aircraft in the United States are too small, not luxurious and comfortable enough."

Indeed, the current best E3 early warning aircraft in the United States was developed in the 1960s and has been in service for nearly 30 years.

In addition, the Sonic 707 passenger aircraft used by the e3 carrier aircraft is only a medium-range passenger aircraft and is only more than 30 meters long. The e3 early warning aircraft requires at least ten operators, plus the pilot and commander, and the cabin is filled with various electronic equipment, etc.

Wait, but the cabin is so crowded.

"So I hope to use your Blue Sky 600 passenger plane as the carrier of the early warning aircraft. It is large and spacious enough, and there is enough space for future modification and upgrade."

Nawaf finally said happily.

Is it such a luxury to use a Blue Sky 600 passenger plane that can carry at least three to four hundred people as an early warning aircraft?

As expected of a petroleum tycoon with a piece of cloth on his head, the early warning aircraft must be luxurious and spacious, and have enough brand name.

Xia Yang was secretly speechless, but Nawaf was right about one thing. Using the Blue Sky 600 passenger plane as an early warning aircraft would at least have room for modification and upgrade in the future. Another advantage is that it can hold more fuel and have a longer flight time.

There are many advantages, but if I have to talk about disadvantages, it would be one word: expensive.

Due to rising prices and the depreciation of the U.S. dollar, the Blue Sky 600 passenger jet no longer costs more than 50 million U.S. dollars, but now costs at least 60 million U.S. dollars. With radar, command systems and other electronic equipment installed, such a large aircraft

The cost of a luxury early warning aircraft is at least US$150 million, so the external selling price must be US$400 million.

This price is not cheap anymore, because the cost of using Blue Sky 600 passenger aircraft as a carrier aircraft is high, and the US dollar is still worth a lot.

You must know that the e2d early warning aircraft sold by the United States to Fuso in 2015 was only about US$400 million.

Even if Kuwait has a small land area, it still needs to buy at least two aircraft because they need to be rotated.

Calculated based on two aircraft, that’s 800 million U.S. dollars. Since many components and technologies for the early warning aircraft are pre-made, and the research and development costs are up to 100 million U.S. dollars, then at least half of this order is profitable, which is 400 million U.S. dollars.

However, Xia Yang still gritted his teeth and did not let go. There was no other reason. It is estimated that only wealthy people like Kuwait could afford such a spacious and luxurious early warning aircraft.

Seeing that Xia Yang did not relent, Navav was not in a hurry, smiled, and threw down another bargaining chip, "I want to purchase at least four."

Four planes would make $800 million.

But Xia Yang still held back and insisted on not digging a hole this time. In addition, the ultra-luxury early warning aircraft developed with a cost of 100 million US dollars could not be sold just four.

"Prince Nawaf, it is because the early warning aircraft you ordered is too luxurious. I think the market is not big and it is not worth my investment, so please stop tempting me."

At the end, Xia Yang made an unabashed warning that if Nawaf tried to tempt him like a devil again, he would take action to teach Nawaf a lesson.

However, Nawaf was very discerning. Judging from Xia Yang's physique, he probably couldn't beat him, so he stopped tempting him and stood up from the sofa. "Believe me, your product line will have an additional product called an early warning machine. Thank you also, because

Give me a hint, Sper also needs an early warning aircraft, let's see."

After leaving the words behind, Nawaf walked away gracefully with a few assistants. Needless to say, he would definitely go to the capital of Spur and place an order together to see if Xia Yang could hold on.

Of course Xia Yang could hold on, because he simply didn't believe that the capital of Spur was willing to order such an expensive luxury early warning aircraft.

After Nawaf left, Bai Yuxue quietly came in and sat on Xia Yang's lap as a habit, while Xia Yang also habitually placed his hands on her white thighs under her short skirt.

However, after putting his hand on it for a few times, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Bai Yuxue didn't wear stockings today, let alone his favorite black stockings, and just exposed a pair of pink thighs.

"Why don't you wear stockings today? Such beautiful legs don't need stockings to protect them. What should I do if they get tanned?"

Xia Yang looked distressed. Bai Yuxue was amused and angry, and then her face turned red.

"You big-headed idiot, who tore my last pair of black stockings yesterday?"

After Bai Yuxue finished speaking, she blushed even more because the last trace of her black stockings yesterday was not torn apart by Xia Yang's hands, but bitten with her teeth.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This is a bit of a waste."

Xia Yang nodded, as if he also felt that waste was not good, but his actions were completely opposite. He immediately took out a large stack of banknotes from his wallet and stuffed it into Bai Yuxue's hand, "Go buy another hundred pairs, I will save some waste."

, by the way, half black and half white."

Bai Yuxue took the money and was stunned for two seconds before reacting. With a red face, she threw herself into Xia Yang's arms and beat her again and again.

One hundred pairs of silk stockings means that she will be bitten by Xia Yang a hundred times, and her body becomes numb just thinking about it.

"I asked you to buy stockings. Why are you hitting me? What do you mean? Do you want to buy them or not?"

Xia Yang asked impatiently.

Bai Yuxue shook her head desperately, "I won't buy it."

"Sure?"

"Sure, sure, I won't buy it even if you kill me."

Bai Yuxue is very steadfast and unyielding.

However, Xia Yang had a way to deal with it. He immediately pressed Bai Yuxue on the sofa and kissed her. After a while, Bai Yuxue's body became weak from the kiss. She clearly felt that her short skirt was being lifted up, but she had no strength to stop it.

…

In the afternoon, he sent Bai Yuxue, who had become pure and beautiful again, to attend classes at Spur University. Watching her, Li Shuting, and Zhao Sisi walking into the campus talking and laughing together, Xia Yang let the wild dog drive and came to the Laisuo Aircraft Factory to find Ed.

I plan to see how the Green Lake Island submarine base is built!

A submarine base that can accommodate three medium-sized deep-sea mining submarines is definitely a huge project, so it is still being excavated and constructed after half a year.

As for the other worker excavator that Xia Yang picked up, it was transferred to Africa to dig uranium mines.

Since the undersea base is built, it relies on nuclear energy to provide electrical energy. Therefore, it has to step up the mining of uranium ore.

"Mr. Xia, please take a look. The submarine base project is currently progressing smoothly."

In the underground base of the aircraft factory, Ed clicked on the keyboard a few times and switched the surveillance of the Haiti base to the big screen for Xia Yang to see.

The construction of the submarine base went really smoothly.

The big screen clearly showed that the base of the huge undersea mountain was brightly lit. A worker excavator at the bottom was digging desperately, constantly hollowing out and expanding the mountain. Two full-metal robots that looked like Terminators were following tirelessly.

Alloy steel components are installed at the back to strengthen the mountain base.

A dock has been built in the base. It is extremely huge, nearly a thousand meters long, at least 120 meters wide, and at least 120 meters deep. It is enough to accommodate medium-sized mining submarines.

What's even more spectacular is that there are already factories in the base that have started production, which are the most basic and most urgently needed steel mills and rolling mills.

Five or six robots are busy in the factory, controlling the tilting of the steel-making furnace. The red molten steel flows out, flows into the steel mold, and undergoes a series of steel rolling processes to become a thick steel beam at least thirty meters long.

Although there are currently only steel mills and steel rolling mills in the submarine base, this means that the construction of the submarine base basically does not require the transportation of materials from outside, and it can basically be self-sufficient.

Xia Yang nodded, quite satisfied with the construction progress of the submarine base.

"A dock has been built at the submarine base, which can park a mining submarine, but it is enough for the time being, because two of the three mining submarines have been arranged by me to mine rare mineral deposits. Rare mineral deposits are mined slowly, and it usually takes a long time to fill the submarine.

Therefore, these two mining submarines may not necessarily come back once every six months or even a year."

"I have arranged for the remaining mining submarine to mine iron ore and other ordinary mineral deposits. These ordinary mineral deposits are mined very quickly and require frequent return. The current steelmaking plant at the base is provided with raw materials by this mining submarine. In addition, the smelting

The steel and the entire undersea base are powered by nuclear energy. Fortunately, we had stored some uranium ore before and it was just in use. Otherwise, I don’t know how long it would have taken for the undersea base to be built."

Ed was very lucky. He had previously discovered uranium ore in Africa and mined and stored a lot of it. Otherwise, if he wanted to establish a submarine base, the issue of light energy would have been a headache.

This is also the reason why Xia Yang drew another worker excavator, but did not bother to speed up the construction of the undersea base, but directly transferred it to Africa to mine uranium ore. The construction and subsequent operation of the Haitian base required a large amount of uranium ore supply.

able.

"Now I'm worried about what to do if the uranium mines in Africa are finished and there is no nuclear energy to use. Mr. Xia, you know that once the undersea base is completed and operated as we envisioned, it will consume a lot of energy, especially the robots in the base.

Only nuclear energy can drive it, so I didn’t dare to make more. I only made eight units because I was worried that they would consume too much energy. So once nuclear energy is gone, the entire undersea base will be paralyzed?”

Ed began to worry about what he would do without uranium ore. Uranium ore could still be found there, but you must know that this thing is very strictly controlled.

For example, the nuclear fuel on the nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines produced by Lysol is strictly supervised by Speyer, and not even a milligram can be taken out.

"There is nothing to worry about. Wait until the uranium mines in Africa are finished and let Xiaoyin have free time to look for them."

Xia Yang casually said that Blue Star is so big, he didn't believe that he couldn't find a second uranium mine.

However, Ed smiled bitterly, "Mr. Xia, Xiaoyin asked me not to tell you. In fact, Xiaoyin knows the importance of uranium ore, so she has never stopped looking for uranium ore, but she can't find a suitable uranium ore at all.

Uranium mines are either too close to areas of human activity and cannot be mined at all, or the content is too low to be worth mining."

Only then did Xia Yang realize how sensible Xiaoyin was, and at the same time he also remembered that Xiaoyin's body could only be driven by powerful nuclear energy.

There is no way, supercomputers consume terrible energy, let alone a rudimentary intelligence like Xiaoyin, imagine how much energy it consumes.

In this case, uranium mines are more important and urgently needed than imagined.
