Chapter 1,166 Setting the Aircraft Carrier on Fire(1/2)
We can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, Daniel will still be unable to bear it. Using fire water to cool down can only alleviate it, but not eradicate it!
If there were modern tools here, they could be demolished violently. However, this place is too primitive. It is so primitive that there is no electric saw and only manual operation. How do these people usually process parts? But when you think about it, there is no industry at all.
You can understand it.
The canopy cannot be removed, let alone the aircraft. After all, the outer skin of the aircraft is easy to disassemble, but the titanium alloy structural frame inside is not easy to dismantle. It is too unrealistic to dismantle the aircraft to save Daniel.
I can only turn to the Easterners for help.
Vinicius called again, this time lowering his stance.
"A good friend of ours is trapped in the plane. Now his life is threatened. I hope you can show your kindness and let him out first. We can talk about the expenses of the plane and warship later."
"This is a Westerner, and he is also a Western fighter designer. He got on the plane to steal the secrets of our aircraft. This was strictly prohibited in our original contract." The other side was still calm.
"I don't know what's going on with that bullshit contract..." Vinicius wanted to curse the other party again, but after being tapped twice on the shoulder, he finally calmed down: "Okay, what do you want?
As long as this friend can be released as soon as possible, we are willing to accept it."
"This aircraft currently still has a debt of 30 million US dollars. We will not talk about other aircraft and warships. Speaking of this aircraft alone, if you want to unlock the fighter plane, you need to pay the entire balance in one go.
, after that, this fighter plane will belong to you, and a similar situation will not happen again."
Thirty million U.S. dollars! Vinicius cursed secretly in his heart, but he couldn't say anything else: "Okay, then I'll listen to you. We will transfer 30 million U.S. dollars to your company. You can unlock this plane as soon as possible. We
My friends can’t hold it any longer!”
"Thirty million US dollars is just the unlocking fee for the fighter plane. However, you let our competitors board this aircraft, causing a serious leak. According to our original contract, you still need to compensate us. We only charge 70 million US dollars in compensation."
Just pay the money, so you need to pay a total of 100 million U.S. dollars. As soon as the payment is received, we will unlock the fighter jets immediately."
"One hundred million dollars! You are simply robbing money!" Vinicius became even more angry.
Thirty million dollars, he gritted his teeth and accepted it. One hundred million dollars, what a joke!
To put it bluntly, Daniel's life is not worth 100 million US dollars! Why should he spend 100 million US dollars to help Daniel get out?
"When you think about it, call us again."
Beep, beep, beep! The other party hung up the phone again.
Daniel's men looked at him seriously: "Mr. Vinicius, it is all your fault that Mr. Daniel is trapped. If Mr. Daniel has an accident, you will not end well! We in the United States will not sit idly by and ignore our
The aircraft carrier formation is nearby!"
You have an aircraft carrier, and we also have an aircraft carrier! Vinicius was angry, but looking at the locked ship island, he suppressed his words again and put on a bitter expression.
"Of course we want to save Mr. Daniel, but the other party wants 100 million, 100 million U.S. dollars. Where can we find so much money? Otherwise, let's use directional blasting to blow up the plane and save Mr. Daniel.
come out?"
Even if they don't want this plane, they definitely can't waste this money.
"Of course not. If directional blasting is used, the fighter plane will definitely be ignited. By then, Mr. Daniel will be completely hopeless!"
Are you kidding? Isn’t it boring to blast on an airplane? The aluminum alloy skin and composite materials used in the airplane are easily ignited, not to mention the fuel inside. Moreover, the Mingzhou Group exported
There is something weird about this kind of airplane. Now that the remote control is up, there might be a remote explosion or something like that. If they try to mess with it, the plane might explode and Daniel will die inside.
Daniel is the most important aircraft designer in Skunk Works. He is still responsible for the design of the X-35. At this time, nothing can happen to him! Moreover, if something happens, the other party can still absolve themselves of responsibility and you can do the blasting yourself.
, burning the designer to death, what does it have to do with us?
Not to mention the explosion, even cutting the canopy would probably be dangerous.
"Then what should we do? We will definitely not be able to raise US$100 million," Vinicius said.
"Then how much can you collect?"
"The most we can scrape together is $30 million."
The US$30 million was the balance of the aircraft that had not yet been paid. They accepted it, but they would never agree to the compensation demanded by the Orientals for the leak of secrets caused by Daniel's entry.
Are you kidding? Americans want to come and see it. It has nothing to do with us. Seventy million dollars, what a huge sum of money!
"Then you raise 50 million US dollars, and we will find a way to raise 50 million US dollars to pay the Easterners to unlock the plane, but the plane must be owned by us!"
If Lockheed Company were to spend 50 million US dollars to save an aircraft designer, it would be impossible. After all, capitalists never do charity, but if it were to spend 50 million US dollars to buy an aircraft
The J-31A prototype is a very good deal.
Vinicius and the others lost their wives and soldiers. Not only did they spend money, but they also lost their planes. However, as a certificate of surrender to the Americans, this price must be accepted.
Vinicius nodded: "Okay."
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and raise money!"
Half an hour later, the money was finally collected.
"Hey, we have collected the money and will transfer it to you now. Please unlock the fighter plane immediately. The distinguished guests inside will not be able to bear it!"
"We need to confirm receipt of the payment. After all, there may be problems with the payment system you use." The other party was very polite.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Entering the 21st century, the international monetary payment system is getting faster and faster. Unlike before, it may take a day or two to arrive, but it still takes time.
Yes, there is room for manipulation. In fact, over the years, the East has been building its own international currency payment system, but it has not become independent. No matter which process it takes, it can be done.
"Okay, we'll pay immediately."
Half an hour later.
Beep beep beep...with three soft beeps, the canopy of the J-31A slowly opened. Daniel slumped on the seat, unable to get up. He seemed to have walked through hell.
This damn airplane, this damn design! At this time, Daniel wanted to curse, but his whole body was so weak that he had no strength to curse. He looked at the assistant outside: "Peter, thank you."
"Mr. Daniel, you are our important R&D personnel. Nothing can happen to you. How are you doing now?" Pete asked with concern.
"I'm still alive." Daniel said, and then he thought of something: "Is this plane ours now?"
"Yes, it is already ours." Peter said: "When we fly this aircraft back, we can take it apart and study it. We will soon complete the development of our vertical take-off and landing fighter, especially the most important one.
The vertical take-off and landing system can be done by the Easterners, and we can certainly do it, we just don’t know the secret.”
When will the famous Skunk Works be reduced to mapping and copying other people's products? Daniel felt helpless for a while, but he also knew that now was not the time to show off. They needed to research technology and solve the urgently needed fighter aircraft problem in the country.
"This aircraft has a good range. If it takes off from here and flies in a single line, it can fly to Europe. If we are afraid of insufficient fuel, we can also attach two external auxiliary fuel tanks."
Stealth aircraft do not have any external plug-ins, which will destroy the stealth, but this does not mean that stealth aircraft cannot be externally plugged in. When stealth is not a concern, various external equipment can also be installed, such as cannon pods and bombs.
, such as auxiliary fuel tanks, when performing transition tasks, it is also a routine operation to hang auxiliary fuel tanks on both sides.
"No, first remove the satellite antenna on the plane." Daniel said.
The aircraft was locked remotely, and it must have been through commands sent from the outside world. For such a long distance, satellite is the best choice.
Now that the aircraft has been unlocked, according to the Orientals, the remaining balance of the aircraft has been paid and the compensation has been paid. Therefore, the aircraft should belong to the customer. However, who knows what the cunning Orientals will do.
What's coming?
The satellite antenna must be dismantled to avoid being controlled by the outside world! No more accidents can happen. A few years ago, they planned a failed operation. After analysis, if the satellite antenna was dismantled at that time, there should be no problem.
.
"Okay, let's dismantle it immediately!" Peter looked at Daniel again: "Will you come out?"
"I'll take a break first, give me a cup of coffee." Daniel said, he had to take a break here, otherwise he wouldn't have enough energy.
"Well, if we dismantle the satellite antenna, will there be any accidents?"
If you don't come out now, what if it closes again after a while? Wouldn't that make you blind?
After hearing what Peter said, Daniel was also shaken. Yes, who knows if he will continue to trick people, so he stood up hard: "Okay, I'll go down."
Fortunately, a ramp has been set up next to it, which is specially used for repairing fighter aircraft. The big guys can help Daniel down. Daniel left the cockpit and sat on the ramp, unable to move anymore. It was like a nightmare just now.
.
Daniel's crisis was temporarily relieved, but Vinicius's troubles continued. He looked at the confused men on the deck, then at the closed door of the ship island, and then gritted his teeth: "Break open the door for me!"
How to break it? Use a hacksaw?
Of course not! They have better tools!
Although they did not have electric saws, they still had cutting guns, which they borrowed from a nearby repair shop. The cutting guns were mounted and they quickly cut open the hatch of the ship island.
What's the use of closing the door? The worst we can do is destroy the door!
"Report, the door inside is still closed!"
"Keep cutting!"
There is nothing to hesitate about. Since the hatch is closed, let’s continue cutting!
The shirtless black worker held an oxygen acetylene gun in his hand and continued to cut inside. For them, this should be a very simple matter.
One hatch, two hatches, three hatches... Their movements became more and more skillful, and finally they reached the hatch of the bridge. As long as the bridge was opened, they could go inside to command the warship. As for those cut-out hatches,
Just keep the doors open. They don't usually close the hatch doors anyway, so just pretend that the hatch doors don't exist.
Vinicius is very calm. From now on, he will be the commander of the entire navy. He will sit on this super aircraft carrier and command the navy's battles!
Wait, why is there a puff of smoke coming out of it?
"No, something is on fire inside!"
