Arms Tycoon: Started by cheating on tens of billions of dollars in orders - #72 - Chapter 72

As for whether Longguo will accept the money and not deliver the goods.

Chouguo has never worried. If this happens, the DWS platform will definitely stink.

If it costs 12 billion US dollars, the DWS platform can disappear.

Not to mention Congress appropriating funds, the military-industrial complex in Ugly Country will pay the money as soon as possible.

Therefore, Ugly State soon transferred US$12 billion to the account designated by DWS as required.

The result is still the same, as soon as the money enters the account, it disappears without a trace.

The CIA agents who have been responsible for surveillance have nothing to do about it.

Even got used to it.

However, they don’t know.

Ji Ji was so excited when he got the money.

You must know that this is 12 billion US dollars, even if it is impossible for him to use this money openly in the country.

But use this money to buy foreign raw materials, and update some weapon catalogs and sub-04 catalog technology trees in the system.

“system to advance the era of small arms, artillery, and tanks to 2020”

“Ding…Start upgrading!”

“Upgrading small arms from the 1940s to the 1980s to the 1990s cost US$5 million”

“Small arms upgrade in the 1990s in 2000 cost US$10 million”

“2,000 small weapons upgrades in 2010, costing $20 million…”

“2010 small weapons upgrade to 2020, costing US$200 million”

“Upgrading artillery pieces from the 1940s to the 1980s to the 1990s costs $00,000”

“The artillery upgrade in the 1990s and 2000 cost 10 million US dollars.”

“Artillery upgrade in 2000 and 2010, costing US$20 million…”

“”The artillery upgrade in 2010 will cost US$200 million in 2020.”

Each time the system weapon catalog is upgraded, the money consumed is twice that of the previous era.

But from 2010 to 2020 and onwards, it may belong to the future, and the amount consumed is the same as before. 10 times that of an era.

For example, Lin Yi spent US$200 million to unlock the artillery in 2020.

Then in 2030, it will be US$2 billion. However, even if the artillery in 2030 becomes a laser cannon,

Lin Yi feels It’s still not worth US$2 billion.

Of course, this cost is not constant. If Lin Yi’s era reaches 2020, then the unlocking will become 2 times the difference.

A total of US$705 million will be spent. All existing weapon catalogs are unlocked to the latest era.

Lin Yi began to focus on the material technology tree, equipment technology tree, and biotechnology tree.

Especially the equipment technology tree, which has many branches such as industrial equipment, semiconductor equipment, and medical equipment. Etc.

For example, in industrial equipment, there are metal cutting, lathes, milling machines, pumps, compressors, fans, and motors of all kinds.

And semiconductor equipment includes single crystal furnaces, ion implanters, etching machines, photolithography machines, optical machines, etc. Lenses, etc.

As for medical equipment, there are X-ray machines, CT machines, MRI equipment, blood analyzers, etc.

In short, basically all important equipment is available in these sub-categories.

Just like the weapons catalog, these instruments are the most advanced It is also a product of the 1980s.

Take the photolithography machine as an example, it is still a product of the micron era in the 1980s.

Obviously this kind of photolithography machine can no longer keep up with the times.

Open the material technology tree and see various metals and alloys. Lin Yi It can be said to be dazzling.

However, among them, special ceramics, carbon fiber, hydrogen energy materials, lithium battery materials, and graphene technology make Lin Yi very enthusiastic.

Of course, these are also material technologies in the 1980s.

Among them, such as the birth of graphene The content of technologies after 2000 is still empty.

After Lin Yi unlocked these last time, he asked the system.

The result is that these sub-directory technologies require money to upgrade the era.

And the amount of money needed to spend It is consistent with the weapon catalog.

Taking the photolithography machine as an example, it only costs 5 million US dollars to upgrade to the 1990s, but it will cost 200 million US dollars to upgrade to the 2020 level.

Note that this is only to unlock the technology of the era.

The specific purchase of equipment also requires, According to different manufacturers, models continue to be purchased.

However, even so,

Lin Yi is still very satisfied with the functions of the system.

This basically allows him to no longer need to buy advanced equipment from overseas that may be stuck.

As long as the upgrade is unlocked , he can buy equipment that is ahead of his time, and even if the money is in place, some equipment that does not exist in reality and only belongs to the future will appear. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Of course, all of this The premise is that you have money.

With ultra-era technology, the 10 times difference in amount is no joke.

However, from here, Lin Yi finally understood why the system said it could accelerate the process of civilization.

War and technology can be said to be civilization accelerator.

Of course, the premise is that you don’t lose it. The other side of war is destruction.

The next day, the world still seemed unchanged.

But while nearly 6 billion people know nothing, millions of people in the world witnessed an auction worth US$12 billion yesterday. The Ford-class aircraft carrier, the world’s most advanced aircraft carrier, is about to return to the arms of the ugly country

, just like it has been returned to its original owner.

According to the transaction time agreed between Lin Yi and the Chou Country’s network contact, the aircraft carrier will appear in the coastal areas of the Chou Country in a week.

At that time, all it takes is Chou Country to tow the ship back.

By the way, the ship has no nuclear fuel and is just an empty aircraft carrier.

After selling the aircraft carrier that he won from a lottery, Lin Yi’s wallet was bulging.

Because it was Chou Country’s money, he was quite comfortable spending it.

As for whether the aircraft carrier will improve the country’s combat effectiveness when it arrives, that’s for sure.

But the problem is that no matter how many aircraft carriers come near the Dragon Kingdom, they will be nothing more than iron coffins on the sea.

[]

With the current military strength of the United States, there is actually not much difference between one more aircraft carrier and one less aircraft carrier.

In fact, a Ford-class aircraft carrier can only increase the combat effectiveness of the U.S. country to a very limited extent.
