831,Rejuvenate the country through science and technology(1/2)
Because the second-generation lurker tank is still being tested, it will not be launched until July or August this year, and the corresponding upgrade services will also be launched simultaneously.
The price of the second-generation Lurker tank is US$13 million, but the cost of upgrading from the first generation to the second generation has not yet been calculated.
Therefore, the upgrade price quoted by Xia Yang is at least two million US dollars.
But even if you spend three million U.S. dollars to upgrade the first generation Lurker tank to the second generation.
Compared to spending 13 million US dollars directly to buy a second-generation Lurker tank, it is undoubtedly very cost-effective.
So Nawaf didn't think much about it and chose to upgrade.
There was no way, Crevit had purchased enough tanks before, and the total number of first-generation lurker tanks purchased from Xia Yang was more than 2,000.
So if we purchase another second-generation Lurker tank, what will happen to the large number of first-generation Lurker tanks we purchased previously?
There is no way to sell it, because if it is sold, it not only requires Xia Yang's consent, but also can only be sold to countries that are allowed to export weapons to Sper.
Countries like the Netherlands that are allowed to export can buy tanks from Xiayang at any time, so there is no need to buy second-hand tanks from Corvit.
What's more, the second-generation Leso lurker tank is about to be launched, with more advanced and powerful performance, so naturally no one is willing to buy it.
In the end, in addition to a batch of weapons orders needed by the military fan base.
Navav happily reached a large tank upgrade contract with Xia Yang, and Leso was responsible for upgrading all the first-generation lurker tanks previously purchased by Corvit to second-generation tanks.
According to the contract, starting from April, Crevit will send the first-generation Lurker tanks in batches for upgrade, and the deadline is for all upgrades to be completed within one year.
After the matter was discussed, because Nawaf had been very busy dealing with the capital of Spur recently, Xia Yang did not rush to entertain Nawaf, but arranged a room for him to rest first.
It wasn’t until the next day that we started arranging the reception, having fun and relaxing.
The first stop was to take Nawaf to the Cuiquan Island hunting ground for horseback riding and hunting.
Originally, Saria, Quan Zhixi and the others were planning to go to the beach to play, but when they heard that Xia Yang and the others were going to ride horses and hunt, they swarmed over to join in the fun.
Of course, they were just joining in the fun. Except for Saria, who can hunt on horseback and has good marksmanship, Quan Zhixi and Lin Zhiling often go to Cuiquan Island to play, so they can ride horses, but they have never touched a gun a few times.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, Xia Yang did not even issue shotguns to the two of them, but only gave them a glorious and sacred task, specifically to pick up prey.
There is no other way. A rookie who has never touched a gun a few times, who knows who the gun is pointed at when he pulls the trigger?
The Cuiquan Island hunting ground is very large and there are many kinds of animals in it.
Rabbits, sika deer, wolves, wild boars, leopards, African wildebeests, African bison, etc. are all available.
There are small prey, large ones, herbivorous ones, carnivorous ones, ferocious ones, etc. Even if you are an experienced hunter, they are enough to satisfy your hunting needs.
Many of these animals were specially brought by Xia Yang from Africa.
However, Xia Yang rarely comes to play, but Lawson occasionally comes to play or brings people over to play.
Of course, you don’t have to worry about the animals in the hunting grounds being left unhunted and causing flooding.
Because the hunting ground on Cuiquan Island is not only used for hunting, it is also a restaurant for Alien and Xiaojin.
With these two guys here, even if no one hunts for a hundred years, the hunting ground on Cuiquan Island will not be overrun with animals.
We had a great time hunting, and the three of us even caught a lot of prey.
Within an hour of entering the pig hunting farm, even Saria had shot a lot of rabbits and deer.
Nawaf also shot an African cheetah and a black bear.
Xia Yang knocked down two African buffaloes with two shots.
Seeing Quan Zhixi and Lin Zhiling yelling with excitement, of course they would not really let them pick up prey. Besides, they couldn't pick up bison and wild boars. There were wild dogs and their bodyguards.
However, they also had something to do. They were responsible for taking photos and recording the hunting achievements of Xia Yang and the others.
The reason why the three of them gained so much was because there were so many animals in the Cuiquan Island hunting ground.
Also because the gun is a good gun and it can hit accurately every time, and the horse is a good horse and can run faster than a cheetah.
The shotguns Xia Yang gave to Nawaf and Sharia were specially made by Leso and were super accurate.
The horses the five of them rode were the Arabian horses given by Nawaf.
At the beginning, the four Arabian horses including Red Pearl given by Nawaf were kept on Cuiquan Island. The pasture was large enough for them to run freely, and they were carefully taken care of by a professional team. They all looked extraordinary and ran fast.
And stable.
During this period, the four horses of Red Pearl were sent back to Kewei for breeding when they were in estrus, and they gave birth to eight ponies one after another. All of them were beautiful horses. The first one born was almost as tall as its mother, Red Pearl.
Nawaf was so greedy that he wanted a few ponies to go back despite his original promise, but Xia Yang scolded him so that he never dared to mention it again.
Even if Nawaf had not agreed to give him the pony born from the four big horses of Red Pearl, Xia Yang was not prepared to give such a beautiful and steed pony back.
The one who treats these ponies the best is naturally Blanche, ever since the four great horses Red Pearl, Black Pearl, Colorful Silver, and Golden King gave birth to ponies.
Blanche comes back very often, almost every week, just to visit these little pony babies.
It made Xia Yang a little jealous.
We had a lot of fun hunting on the first day, and the five of us went fishing on a yacht on the second day, which was even more fun.
Because he may have the blessing of being a king, Nawaf was particularly lucky and caught a bluefin tuna weighing more than 600 kilograms.
Needless to say, bluefin tuna is the absolute holy grail of sea fishing, not to mention it is a giant fish weighing more than 600 kilograms.
If it were bigger, it would break the record.
The world record for bluefin tuna is more than 670 kilograms.
Xia Yang was also lucky and caught a bluefin tuna weighing more than 500 kilograms.
If it weren't for Nawaf's pearl, this more than 500 kilograms of bluefin tuna would be enough for him to brag about for several lifetimes.
But being able to catch a bluefin tuna weighing more than 500 kilograms is enough for him to fish for decades.
In addition to being rare and difficult to catch, bluefin tuna is also extremely valuable, and the bigger it is, the more valuable it is.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Especially bluefin tuna weighing more than 200 kilograms can be sold for one million US dollars per 100 kilograms.
If Xia Yang and Navav were willing to send the two bluefin tuna they caught to the Fuso auction house for auction, they would be worth at least 10 million US dollars.
But the two of them naturally looked down upon this little money.
Of course I won't sell the two bluefin tuna, I keep them all for myself.
The dinner that day was a bluefin tuna sashimi feast.
For this reason, Xia Yang also specifically asked Qianhua Kujo to find a chef who was good at making bluefin tuna, and directly sent a plane to pick him up as a chef from Cuiquan Island.
In the next few days, the five of them had a great time diving, surfing, and flying a helicopter to hunt wild boars.
During this period, Xia Yang also gave Nawaf a congratulatory gift as a king, and planned to invest in the construction of a Bujing automobile factory in Corvit Basra Province, promising to provide no less than a thousand jobs.
In exchange for a big hug from Nawaf, Xia Yang responded by almost kicking him into the sea.
After playing on Cuiquan Island for another two days, Nawaf had to go to the United States for a visit.
"I'm sorry, brother, I have to leave tomorrow."
In the evening, with Quan Zhixi and Lin Zhiling waiting on him, Xia Yang was sitting on the sofa in the living room processing documents. Nawaf came down from upstairs with a cigar in his mouth and said apologetically that he had to leave tomorrow.
However, Xia Yang didn't even raise his eyelids, because he felt that Nawaf was not just here to say goodbye.
"Okay, we won't play guessing games. As you can see, I have been working overtime recently to entertain you and the company, so in order to save time, just say what you have to say."
Xia Yang said bluntly.
Nawaf smiled awkwardly, stopped talking in circles, took out a list from his pocket, and handed it to Xia Yang.
Xia Yang only glanced at it and frowned.
Because the list is full of world-renowned scholars and scientists, many of whom are Nobel laureates.
"Brother, let me tell you the truth. In fact, after becoming the king, I was not happy at all. I felt a lot of pressure. If I couldn't develop Corvit well and make the people live happily, I couldn't face the people.
Elders, face the friends who support me."
Nawaf sat on the sofa opposite and said worriedly.
Xia Yang didn't roll his eyes this time, because he could tell that Nawaf was not in Versailles this time, but really felt that being a king was stressful and a bit overwhelming.
But it is natural, after all, the King of Corvit has the responsibility of tens of millions of citizens.
If the policies introduced are not good, Corvit's economy will decline and the people's lives will not be able to survive.
There are also various domestic forces, international relations, etc. that need to be handled properly. Things are complicated.
Of course the pressure is great.
Of course, this refers to a shameless or responsible king.
Unlike the capitals of countries like the Jin Dynasty, where the people were starving to death and had to wait to die if they got serious diseases, these local emperors were still majestic and talked eloquently on TV.
Obviously Nawaf is different and feels a lot of pressure. At least he is a responsible king.
"Okay, I understand your pressure, but I can't comfort you, because comforting you means that I have to spend money to invest in Corvit, but you know that I can't move all my industries to Corvit.
So don’t be miserable and get to the point, otherwise I ask you to go upstairs to sleep and don’t disturb my work.”
Xia Yang pointed upstairs. If Nawaf continued to suffer miserably, he would evict them.
