Chapter 1275: Peeing to declare sovereignty?
"I like to live in tents. Those luxury hotels are not as comfortable as tents." The colonel said to Qin Tao with a smile: "Even if I am on a plane, as long as I enter a tent, I can fall asleep. Mr. Qin, do you want to experience it?"

Qin Tao shook his head: "I won't fight for love, just a seat will do, anyway the distance is not very far."

At present, the J-31A is mainly produced at the Shuangyang Factory, which is already the most important stealth aircraft production plant under the Mingzhou Group. Almost all exported stealth aircraft are produced there.

Qin Tao is a person who likes to be a hands-off boss. He has not visited Shuangyang Factory for one or two years. This time when he went to Shuangyang Factory, he was naturally warmly welcomed by Zhao Shunli.

Shuangyang Factory, runway.

"Mr. Qin, welcome to Shuangyang Factory." Seeing Qin Tao getting off the special plane, Zhao Shunli immediately went to greet him.

Qin Tao smiled and said, "Director Zhao, you have worked hard. Come, let me introduce you to this, Mr. Colonel, a major customer of our Mingzhou Group."

Zhao Shunli hurried over to shake hands with him: "Colonel, welcome, welcome."

"I heard that you have already produced fighter jets for us?" The colonel did not shake hands and said arrogantly: "How many planes do you have on your production line? Give them to me!"

Qin Tao promised two, but all along the way, the colonel always felt uneasy. How could two be enough? At least twenty, no, fifty!
He has ordered carrier-based aircraft for two aircraft carriers, with a full complement of 160 aircraft, including hundreds of fighter jets. Wouldn't he be able to take half of them with him this time?
"Colonel, you are making things difficult for me." Zhao Shunli said, "The fighter jets on our production line have all been allocated in advance. We have been rushing to make two for you. The remaining aircraft are for customers who have made reservations. If you want them, how can we explain to other customers?"

"It's up to you guys to explain how you deal with me. I'm a big client, and if I say I want you to take me away, I have to take you away!"

"Colonel, you can't take it away." Qin Tao spoke.

"What?"

"Because these planes are being produced for customers in the country of football, the Portuguese version is installed on them," said Qin Tao.

"What does this have to do with language?" the colonel expressed his disbelief.

"Of course, it has a lot to do with it." Qin Tao said: "Our aircraft are all voice-controlled."

"Voice control?" The colonel expressed his confusion: "We have many fighter planes in our country, but I have never heard of voice control."

"Times are changing, and technology is improving." Qin Tao said, "Wait, go and experience our flight simulator first, and you'll understand."

"it is good."

So, everyone first came to the flight simulator workshop, where there was a half nose model. The colonel sat on it with a grand manner, and then... he felt at a loss as to what to do.

The cockpit of this plane is more like a game console, with a big screen on the front and a few scattered buttons, and nothing else!

"Okay, now let's turn on the power."

Qin Tao on the side personally helped to turn on the power switch, and then the startup screen appeared on the screen in front of him. Then, it became four separate screens, showing different pictures.

"These screens are touch screens, but in fierce air combat, it is difficult for pilots to operate the screens and fight at the same time, so most of the time, they can be controlled by voice." Qin Tao explained: "For example, now shout, hello, start the engine."

An overhead view of the fighter plane began to appear on the screen, and then the engine area began to turn red. At the same time, a speaker in the cockpit began to whistle, indicating that the engine had started successfully.

“Is it the same in practice?”

"Yes, that's it."

"If I shout, hello, launch the missile, will it launch?"

"You need to have a target first, and then you can lock onto it before you can launch."

"Okay, then you guys leave and close the canopy for me. I want to try it myself."

The colonel had never been interested in video games in his life, but this time, for some reason, he really wanted to try it. He felt that there was endless magic in it.

"it is good."

With the canopy closed, it looks more like a real cockpit!
The colonel shouted: "Hello, I want to fly to Mars!"

Outside, a group of people looked at each other in bewilderment. You plan to fly this plane to Mars? Even our Starship Corporation can't do it!

Qin Tao whispered: "Show him a set of air combat combat process."

"Yes."

Instantly, the simulator's nose began to move upward, indicating that the aircraft began to climb. Inside the cabin, the colonel cheered excitedly: "Great, I can fly, too, to Mars, I want to fly to Mars!"

The next second, the cockpit began to roll!
Climb, dive, roll, this simulator has a universal stand that can perform various actions, simulating actual combat situations most realistically.

Inside, the colonel kept exclaiming.

Zhang Shunli was a little worried. When this guy came out, would he get furious? I heard that this guy always had a weird temper.

Unlike Zhang Shunli, Qin Tao was afraid that the guy would vomit inside, so after turning three circles, Qin Tao said, "Stop."

"it is good."

Zhang Shunli quickly stopped the program, but he didn't expect that the colonel was still not satisfied.

"Go on, go on, don't stop!"

"Colonel, Mars has arrived."

"is it?"

The colonel had no choice but to come down from it reluctantly. As soon as he took the first step, the world was spinning around him, and then he sat down on the ground.

"It is Mars after all. The gravity here is different from that on Earth. I am not used to it."

"Mr. Colonel, how about we go to the Martian restaurant and eat a meal that only Martians can have?"

"it is good."

In the dining room, the colonel looked at the plate of insects in front of him and frowned: "Is this what we eat on Mars?"

"That's right. The conditions on Mars are harsh. For example, the carbon dioxide content is too high, and the sunlight is often blocked by sandstorms. Therefore, ordinary plants and animals cannot survive on Mars. Scientists have discovered that some insects can survive in the Martian environment. Therefore, meat on Mars can only be provided by insects."

If you are just going there for exploration, then it is fine to bring your own food, but if you are going to live there for a long time, you can only use the local resources on Mars to produce food.

Genetically modified plants can adapt to carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, so they are edible. However, it is difficult to find a source of meat. So, after some research, scientists found that eating insects is a good way.

Qin Tao said as he picked up one of the bugs and put it in his mouth, making a crisp sound.

"Not bad, not bad, it tastes just like shrimp, would you like to try it? I heard that many people over there like to eat ants, and this tastes much better than ants."

The colonel slowly picked up one, and with great courage, put it into his mouth and chewed it.

Sure enough, it was fragrant and crispy, just like fried shrimp, and tasted good!

So he caught the second one, and the third one...

"The Martian meal is not bad!" After finishing the meal, the colonel gave an objective evaluation: "But what on earth is this?"

"Cicadas, also called cicadas, have been a delicacy since ancient times."

The colonel treated Qin Tao to roasted whole lamb, and Qin Tao treated the colonel to fried cicadas! Anyway, they were both delicious in their own opinion.

After eating and drinking, it’s time to get down to business.

"Boss Qin, take me to the production line. I want to pick out the two best planes!"

"Ok."

Buying an airplane is not like buying cabbage, how can you be picky? Zhao Shunli has seen many customers, but he has never seen a colonel like this. His brain circuits are different from others, and it is impossible to predict what his next move will be!
In order to increase production, Shuangyang Factory has been using a pulsating production line. In the huge production plant, dozens of fighter jets being assembled are lined up in a straight line. After assembly is completed at one workstation, it will move to the next one.

"At present, our WS-18A engine has been mass-produced, so the fighter jets we are currently producing have been fully equipped with this engine. Its maximum afterburner thrust has been increased to tons, effectively increasing the vertical take-off weight."

Other methods are easy to deal with, but vertical take-off is like pulling onions out of dry land. The maximum take-off weight depends on the thrust of the engine. The lift fan can provide nine tons of thrust, and the engine can provide another 18 tons of thrust, which means that the maximum take-off weight can be 27 tons when taking off vertically!
This weight is enough to be considered a heavy machine!
"Of course, vertical takeoff consumes too much fuel and may also burn the deck, so short takeoff is usually used." Zhao Shunli continued: "Using the leap deck, even a 30-ton fighter can easily leave the deck."

"Yes, it is just right for our aircraft carrier!" The colonel said proudly, "This type of aircraft was born for our aircraft carrier! For our 100,000-ton aircraft carrier, ski-jump takeoff and vertical landing is the most suitable solution!"

Zhao Shunli was very embarrassed.

It's already 100,000 tons, and it can take off from a ski jump and land vertically. Mr. Qin has dug an extremely big hole!

Qin Tao smiled and said, "Of course, this kind of aircraft is born for your aircraft carrier! By the way, which one do you like? I have to tell you in advance that the production line flows forward. The further forward it moves, the higher the completion rate of the construction. If you want to get the fighter as soon as possible..."

"Yes, of course we want to get the fighter plane as soon as possible!"

"Then let's go directly to the end of the production line! As it happens, those two are also pre-installed in Arabic."

In fact, various languages ​​​​have been pre-installed in the flight control system, and you can choose according to your needs. However, the colonel didn't know this and was easily fooled by Qin Tao.

However, when the products are shipped to them, other languages ​​must be blocked to avoid accidents. Zhao Shunli secretly reminded himself not to forget these.

"These two planes look good, and the other two are also good!" When he reached the end of the production line, the colonel looked at the four planes entering the final process, and a look of reluctance appeared on his face again. Suddenly, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he walked to one of the planes and untied his belt.

"Hey!"

Now, everyone was stunned, even Qin Tao was shocked. What was this colonel going to do?
Chi chi chi…run, run, run…chi chi chi…

"On the grassland, lions use urine to declare their sovereignty. Wherever their urine is left, it belongs to them. Now..."

The colonel was very proud: "These four planes are all ours!"

What lion? Here, only dogs like to lift their legs and pee on tires!

"That's in your country." Qin Tao's face was full of helplessness: "Here, if you urinate or defecate anywhere, you will be fined. One place is fifty dollars, and four places is two hundred dollars!"

Qin Tao was speechless as he didn't expect the colonel to do such a thing. He had seen those best-selling cars. In order to get the car as soon as possible, some people would scratch it with their keys, while others would not want it because it was unlucky and keep it for themselves.

Unexpectedly, in order to get the plane, the colonel would actually use this method, which is even more uncivilized!
"I can pay the fine, but I want to take these four planes away!" The colonel was complacent and did not feel ashamed of his actions just now.

"That's impossible. Two of them are for the Football Nation. They are pre-installed with the Portuguese language system. If you want them, you will have to reinstall the internal computers, which will cost an additional two million dollars."

"We can pay for the cost!" said the colonel.

"We were late in delivering the football equipment to the country, and according to the contract, we need to pay 50 million US dollars in compensation."

If you say you're willing to pay this money, we'll really give it to you.

The colonel frowned: "This... this is a bit expensive."

Two million is acceptable, but what about fifty million? Although they have money, it is not something that came from the wind.

"That's unacceptable. However, for the sake of our friendship, we can give you some special equipment after handing these two planes over to you."

The colonel's eyes widened as he listened to Qin Tao's introduction.

When Qin Tao finished speaking, the colonel swallowed his saliva and said, "Okay, okay, in that case, we need two planes first, as soon as possible, the sooner the better!"

"These two aircraft are currently undergoing final assembly. All pre-delivery work will be completed within a week, and then we will be responsible for delivering the aircraft. I hope you will be ready for the pilots to receive them."

"Okay, no problem, we have the best pilots!"

The colonel was not bragging.

Although their country doesn't have much industry, they can buy things. It's great to have money!

At that time, the colonel had a falling out with the Americans and boycotted all American things. He sold the American-made fighter planes equipped in the country to local farmers at a bargain price. However, he always needed fighter planes, so after some investigation, he decided to buy Mirage 5 from France, and he bought planes at a time!

At the time, this contract shocked everyone. After all, the colonel had less than 50 pilots who could fly fighter jets, and he actually wanted to buy so many planes!

They not only buy fighter jets, but also buy accessories, and buy accessories in large quantities!

Later, the outside world discovered that the plane soon arrived at the Pyramid Country, and the colonel generously supported his brother!
However, later on, the two brothers had a falling out, so the Mirage 5 that the colonel had supported turned back and started a fierce battle with the Mirage 5 in the colonel's hands.

As for spare parts, when the Tomcats of the Parthian Empire were grounded due to lack of spare parts, they would realize the colonel's foresight. They would still have a large number of spare parts on hand until the Mirage 5 was retired, and there was no need to worry about supply interruption.

For a person like the Colonel who would make enemies with others at the slightest whim, it was really a wise decision to purchase a large number of accessories at one time.

Although the colonel did not have many pilots at the beginning, with the gradual increase in the number of aircraft he had and the continuous training of pilots, their team of pilots was gradually formed. Now, it is no problem to find some to fly the most advanced J-31A.

After inspecting the Shuangyang Factory and performing some amazing feats, the colonel finally left with satisfaction.

After the colonel left, Zhao Shunli spoke with mixed feelings: "Boss Qin, if we let such a person get our most advanced fighter jets, we don't know what he will do."

"He will definitely do something." Qin Tao said, "We just hope he can do something. The colonel must do something quickly, otherwise we need to deliver so much equipment to the colonel according to the contract. If we deliver it, it will hurt, but if we don't, it will damage our reputation."

Thinking of the kind of thing Qin Tao just said he would provide to the colonel, Zhao Shunli suddenly shuddered in his heart. Could it be...

Forget it, don’t think about these things. I’m just the factory manager, and I just need to take care of my own business.

"Boss Qin, based on our current production capacity, we can produce this single-engine stealth fighter for another ten years, but we still need to make new plans for what to produce after that!"

No weapon can remain advanced forever. The J-31A has been leading the trend since it came out in the 1990s. It has been in production for ten years and can continue to be produced for the next ten years. A fighter jet has a lifespan of twenty years, which is already very long. What's next?

Although Mingzhou Group has mentioned many high-end projects a long time ago, such as the Baidi aerospace fighter, those are just fooling people and are simply impossible to achieve, at least not now.

What will our next generation fighter jet look like?

"Who cares?" Zhao Shunli didn't expect Qin Tao to say something so irresponsible. "Ten years later, you will definitely retire. As for me, I will almost retire in ten years. Let the next generation decide what happens in ten years."

Zhao Shunli will definitely retire, after all, he is almost 60 now. What about Qin Tao? In ten years, he will only be 45 or 46 years old, which is the golden age for a person. Why would he retire at that age?
It’s not that Qin Tao doesn’t want to say it, it’s that he doesn’t know. After all, his experiences all come from another time and space. Now that it has reached that point, he actually doesn’t know what to do next, so it’s better to just leave it to the next generation.

"Okay." Zhao Shunli nodded.

"However, we still need to research various technologies. In the field of engines, we must continue to promote them. Maybe we can mature more advanced models. The electronics field is also our strength. We will continue to maintain it in the future. As for other aspects... we should take one step at a time and take our time. Maybe in the future, a new generation of fighter jets will be ready."
