At noon, escorted by six bodyguards, the Eight-Eyed Trident luxury car drove into the cable aircraft factory without any obstruction.

Because he was afraid that Elian would be worried, Xia Yang had to raise the security level again and restored it to thirty bodyguards.

Yesterday Xia Yang told Elaine that in order to retaliate against Yin Lac, he would do his best to provide Kuwait with advanced weapons. Of course he was not joking, so he came here today to see the progress of the Smasher self-propelled howitzer and Sentinel missile air defense system.

Nawaf was originally promised delivery in October, but now it is July, with less than three months left. If the goods cannot be delivered on time, it will be a big loss.

However, what Xia Yang wants is not to deliver on time, but to deliver ahead of schedule. At the end of October or November, he will deliver the 100 self-propelled artillery and 20 sets of missile air defense systems ordered by Nawaf, as well as six Black Bat transport aircraft.

All delivered.

Not only that, Nawaf also wanted to deliver more of the orders of 500 Lurker tanks, 100 Dragonfly helicopter gunships and 100 Predator fighter jets that he later ordered.

Try to fill up the Seamaster cargo ship for one trip.

The name of Spur Airport has not changed. In fact, the interior is no longer what it was when Xia Yang acquired it. It is completely a huge research and development center.

Almost all of Laisuo's top projects are developed here, such as fighter jets, beast displacement engines, nuclear energy, electromagnetics, carbon ceramic materials, etc.

It is definitely the core of Laisuo.

So the defense is extremely tight.

Even if Xia Yang, the big boss, entered, he had to confirm his identity through guards and pass through three heavily guarded gates before entering.

Not only that, after entering, there are at least two security guards guarding the entrances of each project laboratory on both sides of the corridor, all with real guns and live ammunition.

In addition, the walls of each laboratory are sandwiched with thick steel plates, and the floor-to-ceiling windows are made of bulletproof glass to protect the scientific researchers working inside.

After all, it can be said that every scientific researcher who is attracted by Ed and works at the Laisuo Aircraft Factory is a chicken that lays golden eggs.

So Xia Yang naturally needs to be protected.

Boss Xia arrived, and the researchers who were busy in various research rooms smiled and nodded after seeing it.

All of them are beautiful hens that lay golden eggs.

Like a chicken factory owner, Xia Yang responded to these scientific researchers with the most cordial smile.

Just walking to a laboratory and seeing this little guy Tang Yuanzhi also wearing a white coat, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

But then he relaxed again, thinking that it might be Ed who brought Tang Yuanzhi with him to teach him, not to mention that genius children like Tang Yuanzhi cannot be treated with common sense.

Since Ed can let him in, there is a reason for him to come in.

Xia Yang didn't pay much attention and continued walking inside.

After a while, I passed through the experimental area and found Ed in a general assembly workshop.

There is a radar truck parked in the workshop, an eight-wheel heavy truck chassis with a top-end phased array radar. Ed, wearing a white coat, is discussing something on the computer screen with several R&D staff.

After a few glances at the radar vehicle, Xia Yang knew that it was the core radar vehicle of the Sentinel missile air defense system.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xia, there was some problem here, so I didn't go to pick you up."

Seeing Xia Yang coming over, Ed apologized, and several other researchers also said hello to Xia Yang.

Ordinary employees of Li Ao and Laisuo Factory may rarely see the big boss Xia Yang, but most of the scientific research talents who lay golden eggs at Laisuo Aircraft Factory have met Xia Yang.

Because Xia Yang often attends meetings on some research and development projects, and the reason why he is so diligent is that firstly, he takes the initiative to be influenced by these top scientific research talents, so that he can have more food in his belly, and secondly, to prevent Ed from getting funds.

Just start wandering.

Facing these top scientific research talents who laid golden eggs, Xia Yang still smiled like the owner of a chicken factory, especially friendly and kind.

"I'm not disturbing you, are you?"

"No, Mr. Xia, you came just in time. Our radar technology has made a breakthrough. If installed on our Sentinel air defense system, the Sentinel's scanning accuracy and interception success rate will be improved. So we are discussing updating the Sentinel's control

system to maximize the performance of the new radar."

A scientific researcher happily reported the good news to Xia Yang.

The breakthrough in radar technology has made Laisuo Technology more advanced and has made great achievements, so it is worth being happy about.

But this scientific researcher forgot that the Xia Yang in front of him was a businessman. How could a businessman tolerate updating and upgrading products before they even leave the factory?

Simplicity is unforgivable and unforgivable.

However, Xia Yang has always been very patient when dealing with the chicken that lays golden eggs.

"This is the best news I have heard recently. As a rule, the radar project department's bonus will be doubled this month. If you want to go on vacation to relax, don't be polite. I will send you a special plane to take you there. You know I am a generous boss.

"

Xia Yang smiled so much that he showed his white teeth.

Several scientific researchers were immediately overjoyed and thanked them one after another, "Thank you, Mr. Xia, so I won't disturb you and Mr. Ai. Let's go back to work."

Several scientific researchers happily left the assembly workshop together and did not disturb Xia Yang and Ed's discussion.

None of them saw that as soon as they walked out of the gate of the assembly workshop, Xia Yang's face immediately dropped, and he almost couldn't speak from his teeth.

"Tear down the new radar for me right away. Sentinel's radar has been fixed for a long time. Why is it replaced with a new radar? That company's product has been automatically upgraded before it even leaves the warehouse. I will make a lot of money this way. If I don't

Make money and get R&D funds from you."

Xia Yang pointed at the sentinel radar vehicle next to him and shouted filial piety to Ed.

Ed looked embarrassed, hesitated, and then said, "But the new radar not only improves performance, but also reduces the cost a lot."

Xia Yang suddenly became speechless. Ed must have done it on purpose and didn't tell him earlier.

However, Boss Xia was naturally not embarrassed. He glared at Ed and asked angrily, "How much cost can be reduced by using the new radar?"

If the cost reduction is not significant, Xia Yang will let Ed dismantle the new radar anyway.

"About two million dollars."

Ed replied.

Top end radar has always been very expensive.

The reason why America's Aegis destroyers and Iron Dome destroyers are so expensive is because the radar they carry is expensive.

For example, the four-sided phased array radar of the Aegis destroyer costs up to 200 million US dollars.

As for the Sentinel missile air defense system, a Xiayang unit sells for US$200 million. The biggest cost is the radar.

This is because the Sentinel missile air defense system only has one phased array radar.

I heard that the new radar can reduce the cost of the Sentinel air defense system by a total of two million US dollars.

Xia Yang had nothing to say anymore, but later upgrades and updates can make money, and reducing costs can also make money. In short, as long as you can make money.

"Forget it, there's no need to change it. Besides, I came here this time to hope that you would seize the time to produce and complete Nawaf's order as soon as possible. It is best to get a ship together and send it to Nawaf at the end of November."

Xia Yang told Ed the purpose of his visit this time.

Ed was a little embarrassed, "Now to the end of November, we only have four months at most. It's a bit too early. The Sentinel air defense system is okay, the order quantity is only twenty sets. The Smasher self-propelled howitzer is a bit troublesome. The order is for one hundred units.

, the production line is still being set up. In addition, the Sentinel air defense system and the Smasher self-propelled artillery still need to be tested after production, and I feel a little behind."

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

Finally, Ed asked one more question.

Xia Yang didn't hide anything, "Yin Lac and Ross sent people to deal with me, you know, so I want to give these two families some color. In addition, the last time Nawaf came to order six Black Bat transport planes, Nana

The meaning of Waf's words was quite urgent, so I felt that Yin Lac was going to attack again, so I wanted to send these weapons over before Yin Lac attacked again to help me vent my anger."

"That's it, then I'll hurry up and arrange more overtime work."

Ed had no choice but to agree, so he had to work overtime and seize the time to produce.

"By the way, Mr. Xia, I feel that the Smasher self-propelled howitzer and Black Bat transport aircraft have good prospects, so is it not enough for you to just build one production line for these two types of equipment?"

Ed reminded Xia Yang that if more production lines were added, time would not be so rushed.

Although the Smasher self-propelled howitzer has not started mass production, in addition to Nawaf's order for 100 units, the Netherlands, Denmark and other countries have shown deep interest and have expressed their willingness to come and participate in the live-fire test of the Smasher.

So needless to say, these countries have strong purchasing intentions, and the sales prospects of the Smasher self-propelled artillery are promising.

Moreover, Xia Yang also knew that in previous lives, these countries had purchased the PZH2000 self-propelled howitzers from Germany.

Therefore, after seeing the live ammunition test of the Smasher self-propelled howitzer, you will basically place an order.

Xia Yang's self-confidence is neither merit nor fault.

After all, Kuwait had won two battles against Yinlaq, so Laisu's weapons had long been famous, and word of mouth had spread. Like the Unicorn Excavator and other products, it was advanced enough, stronger and more durable.

It's just that the crusher self-propelled howitzer production line is okay, it's only a little more expensive than the Lurker tank production line, so it's not particularly expensive.

But building a production line for Black Bat transport aircraft is really scary. According to Ed's design standards, a production line costs 1.5 billion US dollars.

This does not include factories and other facilities, which were converted from a transport aircraft workshop of the Blue Sky Aircraft Factory.

What makes it even more difficult for Xia Yang is that the market prospect of the Black Bat transport aircraft is better than that of the Smasher self-propelled artillery.

It has not been launched for a long time. As of today, it has received not only nearly 70 orders, but also 20 orders for bombers and tankers based on the Black Bat transport aircraft platform.

Total orders have reached close to one hundred aircraft.

This is still under the condition that the Black Bat transport aircraft is still in operation and has passed all tests.
