Monster Factory Chapter 697: Journal.

Chapter 697: Journal.

"How much?"
"The unit price is 200 million Yuan per unit."
"This is the detailed information of IL - 76 faxed by Ukraine Airlines," Qiu Yi handed over the Chinese-translated information to Ye Qing.
200 million is really cheap. The improved IL - 76 had a maximum load of 65 tons, which is much stronger than the Boeing 767 leased by Monster Heavy Industry last time. But a Boeing 767 cost 600 million Yuan.
Although these two aircraft were produced in 2002, according to photos and flight hours, they are far from having reached the aging period of the airframe.
Namely, the plane is different from the car, and the engine does not affect the life of the plane. During the service period of an aircraft, the engine must be replaced several times. Depending on the airframe life of an average of 60,000 flight hours, the two IL - 76 stole only a third of the data. At the same time, the IL - 76 possessed the unsurpassed versatility of the Boeing series.
This type of transport aircraft was specially developed for military strategic transport, and then a civilian version of the transport aircraft was developed due to its excellent performance. Even on a poor-quality wild hard-surface runway, it can land with gritted teeth.
Of course, behind the excellent performance, there were places behind the Boeing series transport aircraft. Otherwise, Ukraine will be reluctant to sell the plane for 200 million Yuan, no matter how big the war.
The most obvious backward technology with Boeing is the economy. IL - 76 has a strong carrying capacity, but its engine technology is backward. Under the same fuel conditions, it is natural for the Boeing freighter to save fuel, and the engine life is three times less than that of Boeing.
Another shortcoming concerns electronics. As we all know, Russian mechanical products, regardless of military and civilian use, are strong and durable, but electronic technology is even more backward.
To give a few simple examples, Boeing aircraft are standard equipped with an automatic flight system and an automatic navigation system, which can be done without human intervention from takeoff to landing. The biggest task of the pilots is to watch them and be unmistaken, even if something goes wrong, there are several sets of electronic auxiliary equipment to escort.
The IL - 76 cannot do this, its electronic information technology is a mess, and the cockpit is full of mechanical instrument panels.
At the same time, Boeing's flight control system completely eliminates physical connections and is entirely controlled by computers. The weight of the aircraft is 30% lighter than that of the last century. IL - 76 has a lot of mechanical connections, 15% is not bad.
There is no doubt that these shortcomings of the IL - 76 are not a problem in the Huge Industrial Monster. The later the plane is, the greater the potential for its improvement.
After reading the information from Ukraine Airlines, Ye Qing immediately had many ideas for improvement in his mind. For example, the titanium alloy landing gear which is lighter but 1.5 times stronger than it is replaced to adapt to the more severe take-off and landing requirements of airport runways.
Ye Qing made the final decision. Ukraine Airlines said that three days later the IL - 76 could be sent to China.
In this way, the transformation will be completed after the two transport aircraft complete the settlement procedures. The personnel of the company going abroad only have to follow the training. At that time, employees could take the company's own special plane to Nigeria, and it will be more convenient to return to China in the future.
After the morning meeting, Ye Qing contacted the five monsters stationed in Nigeria via the satellite network. Now, in the mountains of the Sotu rainforest, hide an angry faceless miner. The two mini processing plants were also refining raw monazite ore into ore powder with an ore grade of 70 rare metal elements day and night.
Now they are going to have a new task, the Huge Industrial Monster will rent two more Boeing 767s and send the necessary machinery to help the monsters lead the local construction workers to build a simple terrain airport.
At the same time, Ye Qing also contacted the Lord Duan Battleship monsters.
During twenty days at sea, the Lord Duan Battleship will cross the South China Sea to the Strait of Malacca. Then will cross the Indian Ocean, cross the Mozambique Channel and arrive at the final destination, the Gulf of Guinea. In this way, the Lord Duan Battleship will have traveled 17,000 kilometers.
"Boss, we have arrived at the Malaysian Sea. According to the electronic satellite positioning map, we have two days left before entering the Strait of Malacca."
"Is the road smooth?"
The Lord Duan Battleship is over fifty meters high. Compared to the passing ships, it's like the physical difference between a dog and a tiger. If you stand on the edge of the pier and look, you can't even use your eyes to see the Lord Duan Battleship in your eyes, only the vastness and strength of the sidewalk.
Due to its huge size, Ye Qing worried that some busy sea areas would force the Lord Duan Battleship to take a detour.
"It's clear, there's a lot of American ships around us, going together to Malacca, and they're on the public radio channel, they keep giving us respect and greetings. They say our Lord Duan Battleship is a hero, they have strong whiskey there, and good flavor Cuban cigars, we are welcome aboard the ship anytime."
When navigating here, the consideration is not how to find other ships, but how not to collide with other ships. Driving a boat is not like driving a rowing boat, the larger the boat, the more obvious the operation delay effect… Therefore, the AIS automatic identification system is installed on the vessel. When activated, it can send vessel speed, position, and information. As a broadcast, it is used to remind surrounding ships to avoid it.
This is also the reason why nearby American ships frequently paid tribute to the Lord Duan Battleship.
"These American sailors are quite interesting, they have not forgotten the great rescue operation by our Lord Duan Battleship," Ye Qing thought that if he was also on board, he could take a small boat to say hello. After all, there is no travel limit to the ocean.
"Okay, I wish you all a safe journey, and report back to me after crossing the Strait of Malacca."
"Understood, boss."
......
After sixteen days, the Lord Duan Battleship which rode the wind and the waves finally arrived in Port Harcourt. At this time, it happened that the field airport in the mining area could be completed, and 100 company employees rushed to the vicinity of the Sotu rainforest to begin vigorous construction.
Every time he thought about it, Ye Qing's mood rose.
If the domestic private industrial enterprises have been ranked now, the Huge Industrial Monster is certainly not the largest. But it must be the one with the most cash flow and the strongest industrial power. What company can build a field airport in a poor African continent in 15 days?
Even if it's simple.
At the same time, the second batch of two cargo planes carrying supplies was also able to transport 80 tons of rare element mineral powder from Nigeria. It's a shame that the factory's inventory of Metallic Dysprosium was depleted, and sales of the Shi Lei car fell in a tight half-month period.
"I have to just take advantage of this half month, focus on approving the remote driving project and strive to win the project in one fell swoop."
Thinking about this, Ye Qing went backstage to check the complaints made on the official website so far. He did not know what interests were affected by the remote driving function. From the day the ad was launched to the present day, Ye Qing could clearly notice that on the Internet, there was an invisible hand guiding public opinion in a very negative direction. Considering the remote driving function as a negative target, and pointed directly at the Huge Industrial Monster. Several officials reported to Ye Qing the number of complaints on the official website during the morning meeting.
A little depressed, Ye Qing planned to log on again to check today's mainstream media news to see if there was any mention of this. Suddenly, Yang Baihe, the director of the propaganda department, hurriedly knocked on the door; she frowned and handed over the tablet: "Boss, look at this."
There was a magazine picture on the shelf, Ye Qing looked down, and her body was shocked.
This is a photo from Time Magazine, which is talked about by countless people and considered a kind of glory. On the cover of Time Magazine, a mysterious and majestic monster logo is impressively printed
This is the logo of the Huge Industrial Monster.
