Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 1087: Space weapons developed successfully

Xie Jianwei must have something to tell him when he called, and it was related to the Tiger Roar secret base, Lu Shaohua was very clear about this, but when it came to Tiger Roar's secret, there were good things and bad things. Lu Shaohua certainly hoped to hear good things rather than bad things, but it was not clear yet. It could be said that Lu Shaohua answered the phone with complete trepidation.

Fortunately, Xie Jianwei's call was not a bad thing, but a good thing, and not just one thing, but two things. The first thing was that one more spy satellite had been produced. This newly produced spy satellite was more advanced than the satellite already in space. It could be said to be an upgraded version of the spy satellite in space.

Lu Shaohua promised the No. 1 leader that he would sell a finished spy satellite to the country so that the country could also own spy satellites and greatly increase its military strength. This spy satellite was undoubtedly manufactured by Lu Shaohua and asked Xie Jianwei to be sold to the country.

But now an upgraded spy satellite has been produced. Xie Jianwei, who is aware of the situation, has to consider whether to allow the country to have a spy satellite that is more advanced than the Huxiao Base.

As the main research party, if the spy satellites they own are worse than those they sell to, how can the Tiger Roar Base, as the research and selling party, feel?

However, Xie Jianwei underestimated Lu Shaohua's determination to sell it to the country. Almost as soon as Xie Jianwei raised this question, Lu Shaohua flatly rejected Xie Jianwei's suggestion to postpone the sale.

"No need to say anything, just sell it." Lu Shaohua said very firmly, and then as if he was afraid that Xie Jianwei would still be unwilling to give up, he added, "We can produce an upgraded spy satellite in more than half a year, so can we produce a more advanced spy satellite in a year?"

After a pause, Lu Shaohua continued, "We already have a spy satellite in space. Currently, no one can threaten us, even if others have more advanced satellites. Moreover, it will take us too much time to build a more advanced spy satellite."

More than a year has passed since the spy satellite was acquired, but the time spent on actually manufacturing a new satellite is not long, only more than half a year. In less than a year, an upgraded spy satellite was produced, which shows how powerful the research capabilities of the Tiger Roar secret base are.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility of technological accumulation. After all, it has been more than a year since the first spy satellite of the Huxiao Base was launched, and research has been ongoing for more than a year.

This is the accumulation of technology, but that is not an excuse. After all, research and actual manufacturing are two different things. Investing in manufacturing is equal to practice, and in practice, some problems are inevitable.

If there are problems, they must be corrected. It is precisely this kind of correction that makes it necessary to face more difficulties during the manufacturing period. Looking at the situation, the upgraded spy satellite was produced in more than half a year. Needless to say, this speed is very fast.

Since the speed is fast, Lu Shaohua doesn't have to worry about not being able to keep up with others. Since he has let others lead for a while, it will not cause too much impact on the Huxiao Base, so Lu Shaohua is not afraid at all.

What's more, Lu Shaohua had already reached an agreement with the top leaders of the country to deliver the goods in half a year. However, more than half a year has passed now. If the transaction is not completed, it is inevitable that the top leaders of the country will be worried.

In fact, Chief No. 1 was already very worried. If it weren't for the fact that there had been too many and complicated things happening recently, and if Chief No. 1 hadn't been afraid that Lu Shaohua would have misunderstood, he would have urged Lu Shaohua to make the transaction long ago.

Time is running out and Lu Shaohua has no time to hesitate. Besides, who can guarantee that the next one will not be more powerful than the original upgraded version? If it is more powerful than the original one, should the transaction be postponed again?

All these reasons combined made Lu Shaohua decide to trade immediately.

Xie Jianwei, who was far away in Africa, heard Lu Shaohua's decision and thought about it for a while. It seemed that just as Lu Shaohua said, he did not say much and turned to the second topic. "It's about space weapons. Just a month and a half ago, all the breakthroughs in space weapons were made, and the day before yesterday, one was manufactured and tested successfully."

Lu Shaohua was delighted when he heard this.

What does this mean? It means that he already has space weapons. This high-end weapon is no longer limited to attacking targets within the atmosphere. Tiger Roar Base can still shoot down targets outside of space.

What’s more important is that there seems to be no space weapons available in the world right now, which means that the Huxiao Base has gained another world-leading technology, which is definitely something that Lu Shaohua should be happy about.

However, Xie Jianwei seemed to think that the surprise he gave Lu Shaohua was not enough, and he dropped another bombshell. "The miniature space weapons have been developed, and now what's missing is the real test, but since we don't have any satellites to launch recently, we can't test it yet."

Space weapons were divided into two parts when the Tiger Roar Secret Base was tackling the problem. One part was the large-scale space weapon, which was the kind that could be launched from the ground to hit targets in space, and the other part was the miniature space weapon. This type of space weapon was mainly installed on satellites and sent into space together. It was controlled from the ground and could be launched in space.

"Are you sure you can succeed?" Lu Shaohua asked.

The manufacturing has been completed, and the last link is left, which is also the most important one. However, due to the inability to test, no results can be obtained. This gives Lu Shaohua a headache. But since it cannot be tested, Lu Shaohua can only ask whether he is sure that the test will be successful.

"A 90% success rate." Xie Jianwei on the other end of the phone said confidently.

Xie Jianwei's confidence is not just lip service, but is based on actual ability, because from the secret establishment of Huxiao to the present, almost every technology that has been researched has never failed after being manufactured into a finished product.

Of course, not all of them were successful. There were some shortcomings in some areas that only needed to be slightly modified, but no matter what, it was a success, wasn't it? If there were major problems, they could not be called shortcomings, but serious shortcomings.

"That's good." Lu Shaohua said happily.

Lu Shaohua couldn't help being unhappy. What does a 90% success rate mean? It means 90% success and 10% failure. In military research, that 10% exists, but it can also be regarded as non-existent.

It can be said that a 10% failure rate is not a big deal. Of course, Lu Shaohua would not allow any problems to exist, so in the end, Lu Shaohua asked, "Do you have a plan for the next satellite launch?"

Like a country, the Huxiao Base has launch missions every year. These are not only satellites needed by the Huxiao Base itself, but also satellites needed by seven small African countries, which are also the responsibility of the Huxiao Base.

If the Tiger Roar Base does not launch satellites, then the seven small African countries can also launch satellites, so there is a launch plan.

"There is a plan to launch a communications satellite in three months for use by those seven countries." Xie Jianwei answered Lu Shaohua's question truthfully.

"Then let's install the micro space weapons." Lu Shaohua said in a deep voice.

What does it mean to install it? It means testing, a real-world test.

"Ok."

"Yes." Lu Shaohua responded, and after a moment's silence, he continued, "Please prepare for the transportation of the satellite that has already been manufactured. I will contact the top leaders of the country to confirm the date, and then transport the satellite over."

"clear."

……

The spy satellites have been manufactured, so why is Lu Shaohua still hesitating? Just make a deal and hand it over to the country as soon as possible. Lu Shaohua can also get a lot of money. Although he can't intervene in the financial crisis with a large amount of funds now, Lu Shaohua has other uses for it.

The financial crisis means that Lu Shaohua will have huge income, but it is also an opportunity for Lu Shaohua and a time for him to realize his ambitions.

Lu Shaohua's ultimate plan includes two themes: one is to control oil, and the other is to build an invincible economic empire, an economic empire that is powerful enough to influence global politics.

Controlling oil can give one a certain say in the international arena. Well, no, it can give one a great say. But that is not safe. Once one is attacked by a group of people, I am afraid Lu Shaohua will not feel good.

Instead, if Lu Shaohua established an invincible economic empire and then closely combined it with the armed forces that controlled oil and the Tiger Roar Base, it would be very different. The voice would be greater and more solid. If others wanted to unite and attack collectively, they would have to consider the consequences.

Therefore, it is imperative to develop an invincible economic empire!

However, before Lu Shaohua could build an invincible economic empire, an obstacle appeared. If Lu Shaohua could not destroy it, he would never be able to achieve his goal.

If nothing else, Lu Shaohua must start with the oil industry if he wants to build an invincible economic empire. Without the oil industry, it would be a long and arduous journey to build an invincible economy.

Well, it can be said that everything is complementary to each other, and everything that exists is a relationship of mutual assistance.

It is now very obvious that Lu Shaohua has not yet taken control of the oil sector. The Rothschild family, known as the wealthy Red Shield Family, is frantically purchasing oil fields, blocking Lu Shaohua's way forward. This is really a stumbling block!

Getting rid of the Rothschild family almost became Lu Shaohua's second goal when the financial crisis broke out. However, getting rid of an old and established family with a long history is easier said than done. At least, it would be impossible to accomplish without Lu Shaohua having huge amounts of funds.

Therefore, it became necessary to sell the technology of spy satellites and space weapons to the country in exchange for a large amount of funds.
