Monster Factory - 705

“How much?”

“The unit price is 200 million yuan per plane.”

“This is the detailed information of Il-76 faxed by Ukrainian Airlines.” Qiu Yi handed the translated information to Ye Qing.

Two hundred million is really not expensive. The improved Il-76 has a maximum payload of 65 tons, which is much stronger than the Boeing 767 leased by Behemoth Industry last time. But the price of a 767 is 600 million yuan.

Although these two aircraft were produced in 2002, according to the photos and flight hours, they are far from reaching the ageing period of the aircraft.

You must know that an airplane is different from a car, and the engine does not affect the life of the airplane. During the service period, an aircraft needs to be replaced several times. Judging from an average of 60,000 flight hours, the two Il-76s only flew one-third of the data.

At the same time, the IL-76 has the unmatched versatility of the Boeing series.

This type of transport aircraft was designed for military strategic transportation, and then developed a civilian version of the transport aircraft because of its excellent performance. Even on inferior hard-soil runways in the wild, they can still grit their teeth and land.

Of course, behind the excellent performance, there are also places behind the Boeing series of transport aircraft.

Otherwise, Ukraine will be reluctant to sell one 200 million in war.

The most obvious backward technology with Boeing is economy. The IL-76 has a strong load capacity, but its engine technology is backward. Under the same fuel situation, Boeing cargo planes naturally save fuel, and the engine life is three times lower than that of Boeing. One part.

Another gap lies in electronic equipment.

As we all know, Russian mechanical products, regardless of military and civilian use, are durable and durable, but the electronic technology is even more backward.

To cite some simple examples, Boeing aircraft comes standard with automatic flight systems and automatic navigation systems, which can be done without human intervention from take-off to landing. The biggest task of pilots is to monitor them so as not to make mistakes.

Even if something goes wrong, there are multiple sets of electronic auxiliary equipment to escort.

Il-76 is not good, its electronic information technology is in a mess, and the cockpit is full of mechanical dashboards.

At the same time, Boeing’s flight control system completely eliminates the physical connection and is all controlled by a computer. The weight of the aircraft is 30% lighter than that of the last century. Il-76 has a lot of mechanical connections, and 15% is not bad.

There is no doubt that these shortcomings of Il-76 are not a problem here in the giant monster industry. The more it lags behind, the greater the potential for improvement.

After reading the information passed by Ukraine Airlines, Ye Qing immediately had many ideas for improvement in his mind. For example, replace the titanium alloy landing gear with lighter material but 1.5 times stronger than it to meet the harsher airport runway requirements.

Ye Qing made a decision here, and Ukrainian Airlines stated that it would be able to fly the IL-76 to China in three days.

In this way, after the two transport planes have completed the settlement procedures, the transformation is completed. The company’s personnel going abroad can just complete the training. At that time, employees will be able to fly to Nigeria on the company’s own special plane, and it will be more convenient to return to the country in the future.

After the morning meeting, Ye Qing contacted the five monsters stationed in Nicaya through the satellite network.

Now in the Sotu Rainforest Mountains, there is an angry miner who will not show up. The two mini processing plants are also refining the monazite raw ore into rare metal element ore powder with a mineral content of up to 70, day and night.

Now they have a new task.

The Giant Monster Industry will rent two more Boeing 767s and send the necessary machinery and equipment to help the monsters, command local construction workers, and build a simple field airport.

At the same time, Ye Qing also contacted the monsters on the Titan engineering ship.

Twenty days by sea.

The Titan will traverse the South China Sea to the Strait of Malacca. Then cross the Indian Ocean, cross the Mozambique Strait, and reach the final destination, the Gulf of Guinea. On this road, the Titan traveled 17,000 kilometers.

“Boss, we have arrived in the Malaysian Sea. According to the electronic chart of satellite positioning, we have two days to sail before entering the Strait of Malacca.”

“Is the road smooth?” The Titan engineering ship is an ocean giant with a size comparable to an aircraft carrier and a huge boom over fifty meters high. The passing ships compare with it, just like the physical difference between a hunting dog and a tiger. If you stand on the edge of the pier to watch, you can’t even use your eyes to capture all of the Titan engineering ship, only the vastness and growth of the paved surface.

Because of the huge size, Ye Qing worried that some busy sea areas would require the Titan engineering ship to make a detour.

“Unimpeded, there are many American ships around us, and they are going to Malacca together. They are on the public radio channel, and they keep sending us respectful greetings. They say that our Titan is a hero, and they have strong whiskey and mellow flavor. Cuban cigars, we are welcome to board the ship at any time.”

The Straits of Malacca and Malaysia are one of the busiest routes in international shipping.

When sailing here, the consideration is not how to find other ships, but how not to collide with other ships. Sailing is not like driving a car. The larger the ship, the more obvious the delayed operation effect. Therefore, the ships are equipped with AIS automatic identification system. Turn it on, and it can send out the ship’s speed, position, and ship information. Like broadcasting, it is used to remind the surrounding ships to pay attention to avoidance.

This is why nearby American ships frequently pay tribute to the Titan.

“This group of American sailors is also quite interesting. I did not forget the great rescue operation of our Titan.” Ye Qing thought that if he was also on board, he could take a small boat to say hello. journey.

“Okay, I wish you all the best, and report to me again after passing through the Strait of Malacca.”

“Understood, boss.”

…

In 16 days, the Titan engineering ship riding the wind and waves will be able to reach Nigaya. At that time, it happened that the field airport in the mining area could be completed, and one hundred employees of the company rushed to the surroundings of the Sotu Rainforest to start vigorous construction.

Whenever she thinks of this, Ye Qing will feel surging.

If the domestic private industrial companies are ranked now, Behemoth Industry is definitely not the largest one. But it must be the one with the most cash flow and the strongest hard industry.

Which company can build a field airport in a poor African continent within 15 days?

Even if it is simple.

At the same time, the second batch of two cargo planes transporting supplies can also carry 80 tons of rare element mineral powder from Nicaya.

Unfortunately, the dysprosium metal inventory in the factory has now been used up, and the sales of Ji Lei Motors are about to fall into a tight period of half a month.

“Just take advantage of this half a month to focus on the approval of the remote driving project, and strive to win the project in one fell swoop!”

Thinking of this, Ye Qing transferred to the backstage to check the current official website complaints.

I don’t know who’s benefit has been touched by the function of remote driving, from the promotion to the present. Ye Qing can clearly perceive that on the Internet, there is an invisible hand that is guiding public opinion and public opinion in a very negative direction.

Taking the remote driving function as a negative spearhead, it is directed at the Giant Monster Industry. Several managers specifically reported to Ye Qing at the morning meeting.

The number of complaints on the official website has dropped a bit. Ye Qing is planning to go online to check today’s mainstream media news to see if this matter has been mentioned. Yang Baihe, the manager of the propaganda department, suddenly knocked on the door.

Yang Baihexiu frowned and passed the tablet, “Boss, look at this.”

There was a picture taken from a magazine on the tablet, and Ye Qing looked down, shaking her body.

This is a photo taken by Time Magazine. It is talked about by countless people. It is regarded as a kind of glory. On the cover of Time Magazine, there is a mysterious and majestic monster logo printed on it.

This is the logo of Behemoth Industry.
