Monster Factory - 764

The HSD in early September was still hot, the sun was hanging high in the sky, and there was a trace of heat steaming on the asphalt pavement of Constitution Avenue.

Constitution Avenue is the power center of the United States.

On the left side of Constitution Avenue, there are many gray-white marble buildings with similar appearances. These buildings are the headquarters buildings of important government agencies.

The Energy Bureau, which is responsible for energy industry management, energy-related technology research and development, weapon development, etc., is located in it.

In the whole gray-white building, the air-conditioning is very full.

But Aklan, the director of the Bureau of Energy, sitting in the cool office, looked a little uneasy and a little bit hot. Opposite his office, there were Martin, the chief executive officer of Tesla, and Bertram, the president of Raytheon Technology.

The two of them also unbuttoned the top suit buttons, sweating slightly on their foreheads.

Since the advent of plasma batteries, the three have held multiple video conferences and met twice. We are already familiar with each other, so there is no need to pay attention to too much etiquette at this moment.

The cause of their nervousness was 20 overhead photos.

As early as after Tesla transported a lightning vehicle to the United States through a special channel, it was dismantled and studied in the country. The Ministry of Energy is paying great attention to the core technology of plasma batteries.

Not to mention that this is the 21st century network society. Even if the Internet has not yet been born, and semiconductor technology is still in the electron tube era, the United States’ intelligence collection capabilities are still so powerful that it is terrifying.

The Ministry of Energy’s collection of plasma battery information is very smooth, and it does not even have to find someone to invade the Giant Monster Industrial Building. From external information, the main raw material components of the plasma battery can be sorted out. In a comprehensive analysis of plasma batteries, Tesla has also calculated a part of the production process of plasma batteries.

Of course, knowing and being able to do it are two different things.

Ye Qing bluntly told Martin that their supporting industrial technology in the United States could not meet the requirements for the production of plasma batteries.

The fact is also true. Even if a complete production process is obtained, plasma batteries are still unable to appear in American factories.

Americans are proud, but they are not arrogant enough to think that they are technologically advanced and can lead the world in all fields. Just as the RB industrial robot technology is world-famous, China Heavy Industries has come from behind, the German five-axis machining center is well-known, and the Swiss precision instruments are of outstanding quality.

In many areas of technology, the United States is not leading.

The strength of the United States lies in its control of the most advanced core industrial technology. For example, the most advanced electronic chip technology, energy technology, aerospace technology, nuclear industry technology, and military industry technology. Mastering these means mastering the world.

But now, plasma batteries have appeared. It belongs to one of the core energy technologies, which greatly exceeds the technology currently mastered by the United States.

Most importantly, Behemoth Industry is unwilling to share with the United States.

This shakes to the core interests.

Therefore, the Energy Bureau, which is bound to win the plasma battery, decided to switch to another method after many failed negotiations with the Behemoth Industry.

They collected information and found out that the production of plasma batteries requires a very critical rare metal-dysprosium. It can be said that the amount of dysprosium metal determines the amount of plasma battery. Now the global market price of dysprosium metal has increased by 30%, which is directly related to the giant animal industry.

After Martin’s private negotiations failed, the Department of Energy decided to replace it with the dysprosium metal in exchange to attract Behemoth Industry to build factories in the United States.

This shows the position of the giant beast industry in the minds of Americans.

And then……

A series of large-scale overseas investment and plant construction plans by Behemoth Industries has caused the Ministry of Energy to turn its attention to Nigeria.

This shifted his gaze, but Aklan, the head of the Bureau of Energy, was almost frightened to death. In just one month, Behemoth Industry has purchased heavy transport aircraft, dispatched huge ships, and dispatched employees to invest tens of billions of yuan to build factories in the remote area of Nicaya.

The two field workers sneaked into the Anu District, and the news returned made Aklan’s mood hit the bottom.

The giant beast industry entered the Anu district in large numbers for a mine. After the inspection of the ore collected by the two field workers around the Sotu rainforest in the dark, they also confirmed the guesses in the mind of the Director of the Energy Administration Aklan.

It was a rare earth metal mine with considerable reserves, in which the metal dysprosium existed.

“Two, do you have any suggestions?” Aklan put down a stack of photos in his hand and frowned, “In just one month, Behemoth Industry built a prototype of a factory around the Sotu Rainforest. Among them, there is even one. The mini factory is already in operation. The cargo arrival report of the transport plane at Dubai Airport also confirmed that the transport plane was carrying radioactive industrial raw materials.”

“This shows that Giant Animal Industry has obtained the first batch of Dysprosium metal raw materials.”

“Our plan to use dysprosium to win over the giant beast industry has failed before it even started.”

“It is hard to imagine that in one month, the Giant Beast Industry will be able to build a prototype of a factory with a scale of 200,000 square meters away from thousands of miles. And the Giant God. Get out of this huge ship.” Martin was still flipping through the photos one by one.

These photos are from a reconnaissance satellite deployed in high-altitude orbit.

The resolution of the photo is two meters, and Chief Aklan deliberately used resources from the Pentagon. When a reconnaissance satellite numbered 065 passed over Nicaya, the angle of the optical reconnaissance equipment was adjusted to aim at the Sotu rain forest, and these photos were taken.

“It’s not surprising that the Titan cannot be built.” Raytheon’s president Bertram smiled bitterly: “The 21st century is the century of electronic technology. The level of our heavy industry has fallen drastically. The original Batumi embargo list clearly stipulated that Hydraulic presses of more than 30,000 tons are strategic materials, and exports to China are prohibited. But last year our company wanted to buy a 50,000-ton hydraulic press. We looked around and found that Huaxia’s products were the most cost-effective.”

“Currently, in the Batumi embargo list, the regulations on hydraulic presses of more than 30,000 tons and the prohibition of export to China are still retained. But we want to buy hydraulic presses of more than 30,000 tons, and we have to go to China to buy them.”

“You say it’s ridiculous?”

“Heavy industry profits are low. Isn’t it because your group of businessmen are unwilling to build?” Director Aklan waved his hand, disapproving.

“One of you will be responsible for the production of plasma batteries in the future, and the other will be responsible for the militaryization of plasma batteries. Let’s not discuss heavy industry, but solve the current problems.”

“That ghost place in Nijaya is not the giant beast industry. I don’t even know that the earth still has this country.” Bertram of Raytheon pointed to a photo of a large number of black-skinned workers and thought: “Since the behemoth If the industry can find a local puppet to cooperate, then we can also support one.”

“The CIA is the best in this matter. It gives us dollars and resources to let the warlords in Nicaya go to capture the Anu District. The industrial technology of the giant beast industry is strong, but in terms of military equipment, it is not even as good as a small Africa. Morocco.”

“As long as the Anu Special Zone is captured, that mine will no longer belong to the giant beast industry.”

“Can’t the military technology of the giant beast industry?” Martin sneered. “You must have forgotten the fear of being dominated by that top, let alone violently cutting a plasma battery.”

“Do you see the ten guard robots in the photo?”

“As long as the giant beast industry is willing, they can arm the surrounding Sotu Rainforest into a steel fort in a very short time.”

Bertram, a well-known defense contractor in the United States and mastering cutting-edge technology in the missile field, laughed loudly, “Mr. Martin, the gap between civilian and military technology can be made up without relying on these robots. ”

“The alert robot is very advanced, but a single-soldier anti-tank missile can absolutely destroy it.”

“How about Behemoth Industry leading in the field of metal materials? They can only produce shields, but not spears. They can’t deal with the cruel war situation of electromagnetic suppression in the whole frequency band, GPS system shut down, etc.”

“Besides, I haven’t seen a’shield’ that the shelling armor-piercing projectile can’t penetrate.”

“In that way, we will become mortal enemies with Behemoth Industry. Don’t forget that the roots of Behemoth Industry are in China. We can move their overseas factories, but we can move China’s factories? The Chinese government will just ignore it?”

“We are businessmen, and win-win cooperation is the best way.” Martin immediately retorted.

“Then cut off their traffic.” Bertram is a weapon businessman, and his style of doing things is very different from a businessman like Martin who is based in the civilian market. He always believes that the threat of force is the fastest and most effective solution to the enemy.

“Nijaya is tens of thousands of miles away. The huge ship and the plane are their only channels of communication.”

“As long as these two channels are cut off, they will once again fall into the predicament of lack of dysprosium.”

This time, Martin was silent.

Business cooperation and communication have failed three times. Now that the Giant Animal Industry has found a stable supply channel for Dysprosium, cutting off the communication line of the Giant Animal Industry is indeed a way to go.
