Chapter 149 Reserves
Chapter 149 Reserve personnel
The standard weapons used by the military are still gunpowder weapons. After so many years of development, gunpowder weapons have reached the pinnacle and there is almost no possibility of expanding their power.
However, similarly, defense methods are constantly being updated and gradually catching up with the development of attack power. The high-tech bulletproof vest on Zhao Li is proof. Moreover, when dealing with the spiral missile, it has been successfully proved that it can effectively protect itself.
Gunpowder weapons are in such an awkward period. Although some powerful energy weapons have been released, such as Zhao Li once used ground particle cannons and small laser cannons, due to energy issues, they have not been able to develop on a large scale, let alone the entire army is equipped.
The bottleneck of the energy problem lies in two aspects. First of all, energy weapons require stable energy output and extremely high instantaneous output power. In addition, it also needs to support mobile needs. Therefore, the most widely used one is on warships. There are very few individual soldiers. Even if there are, due to energy problems, they can only launch a limited number of times and need to be recharged.
The small laser cannon and particle cannon have such shortcomings. After Zhao Li discovered it, he did not dare to use it many times. He suddenly heard that the things produced by James and Ye Lin were actually key substances that could break this calm. He was shocked and took a breath of air conditioning.
"Is it reliable? After testing?" Zhao Li's first question was the feasibility.
"Reliable, it has been verified by my personal experiments." Ye Lin replied. As a senior scientific researcher, his words are more credible in everyone's minds.
"I mean this kind of thing, Is this additive a solo business?" Kang Hongyuan was more concerned about another question. After he said this, everyone focused on James and Ye Lin.
"At present, no such raw ore has been found in other places." James must have done his homework before, and the problem is familiar to him: "What we need is the by-product of the land after mining of the minerals here. All the land that produces this raw ore has been bought by me, and has been notarized and reported to the federal government, and is completely private property."
"In addition, only one method of mining is found. It can only be carried out through biological mining, any other method. As long as the temperature is slightly higher than tens of degrees, this substance will be converted into another stable allotrope, but it has no additive function." Ye Lin took over the conversation: "As an additive for raw materials, the storage and production conditions are extremely demanding, so within a few years, you don't have to worry about being cracked and produced by others, but in a few years, I don't know if there will be such an advantage."
"In other words, this is an absolutely unique business in a short period of time." Kang Hongyuan knocked his hand excitedly and confirmed again. Faced with such good news, Kang Hongyuan was as calm as he showed a little excitement, not to mention others.
"I think it should be." After all, he is a scientific researcher and he will not say a lot of words too much, Ye Lin's answer.
"Yeah!" Kang Hongyuan stretched out his hands, clenched his fists and whispered: "That's it. Even if someone can imitate it, it will be at least a few years later. Some money and status will be enough for a few years."
"If the factory is built as scheduled, how will the output be? How much demand can it meet?" Kang Hongyuan asked another question in this regard eagerly.
"The output can be regulated, depending on the size of the factory and the concentration of bacterial strains." Ye Lin and James seem to have a clear division of labor. He is responsible for the production, while James is responsible for the supply of raw materials, sales and other aspects, all of which are answered by Ye Lin: "And, this is just an additive, and it is only possible to add less than one percent of the proportion in the production process of the original high-energy battery, and the amount is very small."
"Okay." Kang Hongyuan may have made some decisions: "Do you have enough staff to mine and build raw materials here? I can help you recruit from Jinwuxing City. Not only can you speed up production, but it also has another advantage. If a large number of people participate, no matter the government or underground armed forces, they may not dare to touch him easily."
This is a good idea. It is similar to the human shield in some wars back then. It is worthy of being a political person, and I instantly came up with a way to increase production capacity and a layer of insurance. Anyway, since it is a unique business, no matter how high the cost is, it can be transferred to the buyer.
No wonder the financial owner could make such a big deal to form a fleet directly just to allow the equipment of a transport ship to arrive in time, so he must have had such an idea.
Anyway, as long as the first batch of products pass the same method to enter the Federation bypassing the war zone, even if there is a high cost, the federal army will definitely take it. Moreover, in order to ensure the smooth flow of transportation lines, they will open up the transportation lines of the travel planet at all costs. This not only ensures a significant drop in cost, but also accelerates the transformation of the federal army's gunpowder weapons to energy weapons faster.
For individual energy weapons, as for simple thermal energy weapons, as early as the 21st century, a large-scale thermal radiation expelling vehicle had appeared. This type of dispersing weapon that only brings a burning feeling to the human skin does not hurt people, but only allows people to actively avoid it to achieve the purpose of dispersing.
However, by modifying some of the components, heat energy can be directly injected into the human body and the damage to different degrees is achieved according to the output power. It can be imagined that suddenly, the temperature of the body fluids in the body reaches hundreds of degrees Celsius. What kind of lethality is this?
Moreover, this weapon does not use bullets, but only uses energy boxes, which are the so-called high-energy batteries. They are simple, have no recoil, no mechanical friction, are simple to maintain and have almost no wear. The most important thing is that they are not affected by gravity, and are the most direct linear attack. They are easy to use and easy to use. Whether in terms of lethality or other aspects, they are one level higher than gunpowder weapons.
If the federal military can equip this weapon, then the advantages of the rebels will be further increased, and it is not impossible to win.
Once the federal government and the army start placing orders, the profit will no longer be described as a daily wage of gold. It is simply a disguised legal robbery. You can even say it bluntly. That is another nominal money printing factory.
Zhao Li looked at James and Ye Lin again. Not to mention that in order to save his life, Zhao Li might not have easily handed over to others if it were Zhao Li. It seemed that at this time, Zhao Li also had an understanding of the two.
However, with huge profits, there are also huge risks.
First of all, this is a planet in wartime, not far away, which is a war zone. From the perspective of the situation, the rebels have the upper hand. Once the rebels know that the key to all energy weapons is this marginal planet that they don’t like on weekdays. It can be imagined that the rebels will definitely seize it at any cost. It is almost impossible to let the rebels not know it. Even they can understand the military deployment on the front line clearly, let alone a government supplier.
In addition, not to mention the rebels, but the surrounding underground forces, they know that there is a way that is easier to make money than drug trafficking and smuggling terrorist activities, and it is a reasonable and legal way. Will they covet this? The answer is almost yes! Once production and gaining fame begins, it will turn into a piece of fresh meat with blood, attracting a large group of hungry sharks with blue-haired eyes and green hair around to snatch it.
Apart from these forces that cannot be controlled by the government, the old chaebol consortiums within the federal government will never sit idly by and watch such a gold mine be controlled by a few people. They will use all methods to openly and secretly conspire to spies and agents to destroy theft and other means to steal production secrets. Even if they cannot be stolen, they will never allow James and Ye Lin to eat alone. They will definitely use various methods to set up obstacles, raise entry thresholds, and limit James' development.
Of course, James has a wealthy big money investing. I don’t know if this money buyer is equally powerful and can help solve these problems. But even if he can solve these problems, there are even greater forces behind him.
Will the federal government and the military, these two forces with absolutely legal robbery, allow such an important pulse of military industry to be in the hands of private individuals? If they want to do it, even if the entire marginal planet is added up, it will never be able to stop it.
After being excited, Zhao Li fell into this series of thoughts on crisis response. Kang Hongyuan also had the same idea.
"This is a key military material. It should be handed over to the military for management!" Suddenly, a disharmonious voice appeared in the small group. Li Mengdie's cold words appeared in everyone's ears.
Everyone seemed to be stunned, and then all their eyes focused on Zhao Li. This felt very strange. It was clearly what Li Mengdie said, but everyone seemed to be wondering why Li Mengdie still had a different voice from Zhao Li. Has Zhao Li not solved Li Mengdie yet? Especially Sanders, this guy's eyes were even more indescribable ambiguous, which made Zhao Li want to beat him.
Even Zhao Li didn't expect that Li Mengdie would say such words. Looking at everyone's eyes, Zhao Li couldn't help but feel a little headache: "Everyone take a break for a while." As he said that, he stood up and pulled Li Mengdie. Li Mengdie was obedient and didn't say anything. He got up and followed Zhao Li out of the conference room and went directly to Zhao Li's office.
"Adie!" Zhao Li called out, but didn't know what to say. While hesitating, Li Mengdie had already spoken: "Zhao Li, I know, you want to convince me to give up that idea."
"Adie, I..." Although Li Mengdie knew what she wanted to say, Zhao Li still felt that he didn't know what to say, so he only said one more word and stopped here.
"Zhao Li, this is very dangerous." Li Mengdie approached Zhao Li and stretched out her hands to hold Zhao Li's hands: "The military will never allow this kind of key military-industry materials to be controlled by the military. Once they are not well controlled, everyone will be doomed." Li Mengdie said in particular slowly, as if she wanted Zhao Li to think about it carefully.
"I know." Zhao Li immediately understood that this was Li Mengdie's unwillingness to Zhao Li to take risks, not because she still held the selfless thought: "A Die, at this time, we can no longer withdraw."
This is a fact. Not to mention that Kang Hongyuan has bet on his political life, James and Ye Lin have bet on everything. Even if Zhao Li wants to withdraw, there is no way out. He knows Kang Hongyuan's nature. Even if James and Ye Lin may let him go, Kang Hongyuan will never let his efforts burn. He has ten thousand ways to pull Zhao Li back on his warship again. Instead of doing such a broken-out thing, it is better not to do it from the beginning.
Kill Kang Hongyuan? James and Ye Lin will not do it. That is their help in the government. In terms of force, Zhao Li can shock Kang Hongyuan. In terms of strength, Zhao Li's current manpower can also restrain James' subordinates. But on the other hand, Ye Lin can only let the entire Jinwuxing be buried with him, and Kang Hongyuan can also use various methods to counter Zhao Li.
It seems that the small group of them is now a group that restricts each other but has the same goals. Perhaps, this kind of bond of interests is the strongest. The so-called life-saving grace in the past cannot be compared in the face of this situation, and at most it can only allow them to leave Zhao Li's life.
Li Mengdie is not a fool. She probably knew the energy of these people since she joined Zhao Li's small group. She no longer insisted at this time, but just hugged Zhao Li gently: "You have to give me a guarantee that if these things are so critical to your life, you must quit."
"Silly child!" Zhao Li hugged Li Mengdie, gently stroked her hair, said with a wry smile, and hugged Li Mengdie tightly.
When he appeared in the conference room again, Li Mengdie stopped speaking. Several guys all looked at Zhao Li with a desperate look, as if it was a great achievement for him to solve Li Mengdie in such a short time.
"We just discussed it briefly." Seeing Zhao Li and Li Mengdie sitting down, Kang Hongyuan said: "In order to avoid possible troubles in the future, and for the safety of all of us, it is necessary to prepare a preparatory plan."
"What preparation plan?" This is a major event that concerns everyone's safety, and Zhao Li is of course very concerned. Li Mengdie even raised her ears. She disagreed and only considered Zhao Li's safety perspective, and never because of anything else.
"It's very simple. We will tell the government and the military that we have a detailed explanation on the rebels. If the government intervenes, we will immediately destroy the factory in front of us and then let the reserve personnel guide the rebels' production. Of course, the government will also help us solve the problems of those consortium chaebols." Kang Hongyuan talked happily, this was a measure against the open.
"Who will act as the reserve?" This is also a solution. At least the federal government and the military will never allow or want the rebels to have this weapon. Maybe if the arrangements are carefully planned, they will succeed.
