Digital Life (Absolut01) - Chapter 98

[Ninety-eight.]

Bai Qiang said: “Xiao Lu, your basic spider vanguard is currently being tested, and it is estimated that it will pass next month at most. I heard that you have a few improved models here? Take it out today and let us see it. Lu Zhenyu said quickly:

”

Okay. I’ll make arrangements.”

The improved versions of Spider Pioneers are all things that have been improved for special terrain features, because Spider Pioneers are different from Spider Walkers.

The structure of the spider walker is simple, with only one motor. Most of the modifications will not affect the center of gravity of the spider walker, so there is no need to modify the program and make a special power output setting.

The Spider Pioneer is different. Although a lot of lightweight materials are used, the total weight of the Spider Pioneer still exceeds 3 tons.

The special modification will greatly change the use characteristics of the Spider Pioneer, and the center of gravity configuration and power configuration must also be adjusted accordingly.

There are a total of 3 types of Spider Vanguard improvements that have been completed so far.

One of them is the Spider Vanguard Desert Edition.

The six legs of the desert version are completely different from the basic type in the landing part. The basic type emphasizes the strong adhesion to the mountains and is convenient for climbing.

The desert-type landing part is a wide-foot-like thing made of a rubber-wrapped metal frame, so that even if it encounters relatively soft sand or even quicksand, the Spider Pioneer can survive.

Another change is the dust blowing design and engine cooling of the Spider Pioneer.

The basic type is a semi-closed dust blowing design, which is convenient for cleaning at any time, while the desert type adopts a fully enclosed design in the joint part, and then uses heat pipes and pure copper fins to dissipate heat from the joints.

The engine part is equipped with negative pressure blowing dust, so that the air pressure in the engine compartment is higher than the outside world, and it is not easy for dust to enter.

The most amazing is the desert-type sand-turning concealed design.

Through the two sets of sand turning rollers installed on both sides of the car body, the surrounding sand can be turned over the car body in the low state of the desert type, and the car body can be partially buried in the sand as required, or even fully buried in the sand. , and only leave the cockpit and cockpit out of the sand to observe with a periscope.

Because the thermal radiation of the Spider Pioneer itself is very low, it is almost impossible for the enemy to find it with infrared detectors buried in the sand.

And once an attack is launched, the electromagnetic power disk on the six legs can instantly output force, allowing the spider to jump out of the sand to attack.

The second is the infantry fire support type.

This model reduces the original crew of five to two.

The cockpit was moved to the rear by nearly 40 centimeters, and an M134 rotary machine gun was installed on the left and right sides of the lower part of the cockpit.

At the rear of the cockpit, a single-person turret is installed, which also has an M134 rotary machine gun, and two other launchers for Hongying short-range anti-aircraft missiles.

The sides of the hull can even be fitted with winglets like a helicopter, each with an anti-tank missile.

The remaining space was filled with 7.62mm bullets for the M134 machine gun.

Although in this way, the three motors are a bit underpowered, but they can make the spider vanguard show super powerful firepower. It is better to support the infantry to suppress the firepower. After all, the shooting point after the spider stands upright is better than that of ordinary infantry. Armored vehicles and even tanks are a little taller.

While this is the techies’ favorite modification, it’s a little exaggerated.

The purpose of this model is to rush to fight hard, run out of ammunition, and the car body is light enough, then run hard… When there is still ammunition, it is difficult for missiles to break through the barrage of this spider.

The third improved type is the reconnaissance attack type, which is individually named the Shadow Spider.

This model shrinks the car body into a long and narrow shuttle shape, which can carry three occupants, namely the driver, the observer and the shooter.

This model further reduces body weight by adding shock and sound-absorbing brackets to the electric motor.

In terms of power output, the program has been modified, more use of completely silent electromagnetic drive disks and less use of noisy mechanical joints.

The mechanical joints have also been specially treated for shock absorption.

Even running at full speed, the shadow spider can’t make more noise than the air conditioner in your home.

The speed has increased to nearly 70 kilometers per hour.

The reconnaissance equipment is quite complete, mainly a series of visible light and infrared reconnaissance equipment, as well as a laser target irradiation device, and infantry radar can also be installed, but that kind of thing consumes too much power and is not an ideal choice.

In terms of weapons, the Shadow Spider only uses a 23mm cannon, and the ammunition is only 120 rounds.

What Lu Zhenyu thought about was that if the technology of variable optical camouflage could be replicated successfully in the future and could be used by shadow spiders, it would be really interesting.

Bai Qiang and the officers who came with the general were very happy to see the improved versions of these spider pioneers with their own characteristics.

Obviously, as long as they are used properly, these equipment will be very useful things on the battlefield.

Even now, the flexibility shown by the spider platform has exceeded the general armored vehicle.

The off-road speed is fast, almost unrestricted by the terrain, the sound is light, the infrared signal is small, and the response is sensitive… The Spider Pioneer with the electromagnetic drive disc is extremely difficult to target and focus.

In addition to the fact that the protection of the spider series products is a little weak due to the weight, it can almost be used directly to replace the armored vehicles.

Because of their different resumes and personalities, officers have their own preferences for different improved spiders, but there is no doubt that everyone is very optimistic about these advanced equipment.

Bai Qiang dismissed his subordinates, entered a small office with Lu Zhenyu alone, and said to Lu Zhenyu, “Besides these, I have some other matters to communicate with you. … The US military delegation secretly met us in Beijing a few days ago. We talked about some things. Because our military technology has greatly improved over the years, the United States has taken the initiative to lift the ban on the sale of a large number of weapons to China. Our procurement team flew to the United States this morning. There are many contracts. I want to talk about it. There is also your credit for this. If your spider walker was not exported to the United States, and it performed so well on the battlefield, the United States would not have such an attitude today.”

“You have won the prize.” Lu Zhenyu Humble way.

“However, we also played with the Americans. At the beginning, I took the Americans to the 38th Army to see the test of your Spider Pioneer, and then said that this thing has been banned for sale to the United States. We also severely After a knock, the United States used the technology of the Black Hawk helicopter in exchange for our agreement to export the Spider Pioneer… I didn’t tell them that the Spider Pioneer was still in testing. An American should talk to you in a few days. This aspect You don’t have to worry, you don’t have to ask for instructions, of course, you can be a little more ruthless in terms of price.” Bai Qiang said with a smile.

“Because there is another matter that you are not going to make money to be handed over to you.”

“General, you can give an order. You know, I also have a military post.” Lu Zhenyu immediately stood up and said.

“North Industries Corporation, Southern Industries Corporation, is not a group of soldiers? But we still have to follow the current procurement regulations.” Bai Qiang motioned Lu Zhenyu to sit down, “Pakistan hopes to purchase a batch of spider walkers at a preferential price, and now, it is estimated that more Go to Spider Pioneer. The purchase volume is not very small. Probably Pakistan knows that there will be no such preferential margin when they talk to you directly. They are directly looking for the Military Commission, through the chairman. It is also the chairman, let me come to you to talk about this matter.

” How much do they want?”

“Around 300 spider walkers, the military version. But they didn’t know there were spider pioneers at that time, and now it is estimated that this order will change. Anyway, it is almost the amount of spiders to equip a division.”

” Then what price do you want me to supply?” Lu Zhenyu scratched his head and said.

“Basically, it is slightly higher than the cost price, giving you a 15% gross profit. That is, the spider walker military version is 800,000, and the Pioneer is 6.6 million.”

“That’s totally fine.” Lu Zhenyu heard it, it turned out that it was not lower than the cost price. Supply, of course, there is not much problem.

Anyway, I believe that both parties will be tight-lipped about the price.

“Well, this is the best. Although there is a big gap between this and the market price of spider series products, after all, this involves deeper problems, and there is no way to do it. Originally, this kind of thing, the country should be at this price and market price. In the meantime, I will give you a little compensation. However, our military spending has not been much in recent years, and it seems that other funds don’t know where to go. We have to compensate you in other ways. As long as the military passes the test, Spider Pioneer’s order will be sent to you, but… it doesn’t seem to be the market price. At the market price, you have to sell it internationally. You can say for yourself how we need to compensate, as long as we can do it. ”

Lu Zhenyu didn’t want to put forward any conditions. Originally, it was the right thing to contribute to the country, not to mention that he didn’t make money from it, but he made a little less.

And Bai Qiang also revealed a message in his words, that is, he is allowed to sell Spider Pioneer in the international market.

Although it may still be restricted by the foreign policies of some countries, with the powerful ability of Spider Pioneer, there should be quite good sales.

Lu Zhenyu said, “I don’t have any requirements. Now I’m not short of money or anything else.”

“Well, that organization is causing you a headache. Then, when you need support, I promise to give you all Support. Of course, you still need to dig out the information on the time and place yourself.” Bai Qiang looked at Lu Zhenyu.

“That’s great.” Lu Zhenyu knew very well that the power of the organization he faced was definitely not something he could easily shake by relying on his own company and the power of Chen Ning now.

At this time, being able to get Bai Qiang’s guarantee will undoubtedly enhance Lu Zhenyu’s confidence.

After sending Bai Qiang away, Lu Zhenyu found that the first thing he had to do was to comfort Su Wan, the obviously frightened little girl.

Although, in the factory just now, Su Wan, who was in high spirits, performed very well, without any gaffe, but when the people with many stars on their shoulders left, Su Wan’s spirit suddenly relaxed, and immediately He was silent because he was nervous.

Seeing so many generals with my own eyes is much more exciting than looking at the 21 bright star table in the school and looking for the stars in the sky, and there are so many appearances and mighty military equipment in the factory building, which makes Su even more exciting. Wan is a bit hard to digest.

“Wan Wan, what’s wrong?” Lu Zhenyu poured Su Wan a glass of water and asked.

“It’s nothing…. I’m a little scared, Master, are you really an arms dealer now?”

“I sold spider walkers to the Swiss Army, haven’t you seen this in the newspapers?”

“It’s different, it’s really different. .” Su Wan sighed.

“Hehe, don’t be afraid. These things are here to protect us.”

“I’m not afraid. It’s just that any of the people who walked in front of me just now are all famous and famous. General Bai used to I’ve only seen it on TV… I really can’t imagine that these people actually appear in front of me.”

“So what’s the matter? When I was my secretary, there were too many big people to meet. You asked Tao Yingying, when the global it summit forum, Microsoft, Oracle, Cisco, Sony, who are not big people? Last time I went Europe, let’s not talk about Switzerland, the Pope, a group of cardinals… You are my secretary now, and you should be a little emboldened to see such a person, don’t take a book and ask for an autograph!”

” Master, look at what you said.”

After being teased by Lu Zhenyu, Su Wan obviously recovered.

And that night, Su Wan understood, and sure enough, there were too many big people to meet with his master.

That night, before Lu Zhenyu could get off work, a phone call forced Lu Zhenyu to take Su Wan and the others to Shangri-La Hotel to make contact with the American quasi-embassy secretly coming to Shanghai.

The chief representative of the United States is the Assistant Secretary of State in charge of China affairs.

Lu Zhenyu did not expect that Bai Qiang had just told himself that the Americans wanted to ask him to buy something in the afternoon, and the Americans would come in the evening.

Is there really such a hurry on the US side?

Afghanistan?

Iraq?

… The thing I don’t understand the most is Iraq. The United States has been in there for several years, and there are still no major battles. Small battles continue.

“Mr. Lu, we learned that you have a new generation of all-terrain platform called Spider Pioneer in your hands. We are eager to introduce this equipment. I believe someone in your country must have told you that about the export of Spider Pioneer, we have already cooperated with you. The senior officials of the country have reached an understanding.”

“Okay, no problem. But which model do you want? Besides the basic model, do I have several other improved models? Do you want the basic model or the desert model?” Lu Zhenyu pretended to be careless look, said.

The Assistant Secretary’s face visibly flashed with ecstasy upon hearing the desert type.

He suppressed his performance and said, “Could you please organize a demo for us? We only have a very rough understanding of Spider Pioneer.”

Seeing the change in his expression, Lu Zhenyu immediately understood.

Something must have happened in the United States that forced them to end all military operations in Iraq as soon as possible and start withdrawing troops.

And Americans who believe in weapons will naturally be happy to get the weapon of desert warfare at this time.

But what happened in the United States?
