“How much?”

“One unit price of 200 million RMB. ”

“This is a fax from Ukrainian Airlines, Il-76 details.” Qiu Yi handed over the translation into Chinese to Ye Qing.

211 million is really inexpensive, an improved Il-76 with a load of up to 65 tons, much stronger than the last Boeing 767 leased by Giant Beast Industries. But the price of a 767 is RMB 600 million.

Although they were born in 02 years, they are still far from reaching the age stage, according to photographs and flight hours.

To know that an aircraft is different from a car, an engine does not affect its lifespan. One aircraft is in active service and has to be shipped several times. Based on the average lifespan of 60,000 flight hours, the two IL-76s fly only a third of the data.

At the same time, the Il-76, as well as the Boeing series, have incomparable versatility.

This is dedicated to strategic military transportation, followed by the development of civilian versions of the transport aircraft because of their superior performance. Even on poor quality wild hard dirt runways, you can bite your teeth and land.

Of course, behind excellent performance, there are also backward Boeing carriers.

Otherwise, Ukraine will have to sell another 210 million.

The most obvious lagging technology with Boeing is first of all economical, with the Il-76 having strong load carrying capacity, but its engine technology is lagging behind, and with equal fuel, it is naturally Boeing cargo engine oil saving and engine life is one third lower than that of Boeing.

Another gap lies in electronic equipment.

It is well known that Russian mechanical products, whether military or civilian, are very durable, but electronics lag far behind.

For example, the Boeing aircraft is equipped with an automated flight system and an automated navigation system, which can be done without human intervention from takeoff to landing, and the biggest task for pilots is to monitor them for errors.

Even if something goes wrong, there are several sets of electronic aids to protect the flight.

The Il-76 doesn't work. It has poor electronic information technology and mechanical dashboards all over the cockpit.

At the same time, Boeing's flight control system completely eliminates physical connections, all controlled by computers, and the weight of the aircraft is reduced by 30% less than in the last century. The Il-76 has a lot of mechanical connections, and it's good to have 15%.

There is no doubt that these shortcomings of the Il-76 are not a problem here in the giant animal industry. The further it lags behind, the greater the potential for improvement.

After reading the information from Ukrainian Airlines, Ye Qing immediately generated many ideas for improvement in his mind. For example, the replacement material is lighter, but is a little more than five times stronger than its titanium alloy landing gear to accommodate worse airport runway take-off and landing requirements.

Ye Qing said that Ukrainian Airlines could fly the Il-76 to China in three days.

In this way, after the two transport aircraft have completed the check-in process, the renovation will be completed. Overseas personnel on the company's side can also complete the training. By then, employees will be able to fly to Nicaragua on their own plane, and it will be easier to return home later.

After the early meeting, Ye Qing contacted the five monsters stationed in Nicaragua via satellite network.

Now in the Soto Rainforest Mountains, there is a hidden anger miner. Two mini-processing plants will also live in isolated quarry mines day and night, refining them into rare metallic powder containing up to seventy minerals.

Now they have a new mission.

Two more Boeing 767 will be leased by Giant Beast Industries to deliver the necessary mechanical equipment to help the monsters, direct local construction workers and build a simple wilderness airport.

Meanwhile, Ye Qing contacted the monsters aboard the Giant God Engineering Ship.

Twenty days of shipping.

The Giant God will cross the South Sea to the Strait of Malacca. Then across the Indian Ocean, across the Strait of Mozambique, to the Gulf of Guinea, the final destination. This way, the Giant God travels 17,000 kilometers.

“Boss, we have arrived in the Malaysian Sea and, according to the electronic chart of satellite positioning, we have two days to reach the Strait of Malacca. ”

“Is the journey clear?” The Giant God Engineering Ship is a ship of comparable size to an aircraft carrier and has a huge, oceanic crane arm over 50 metres tall. Past boats compare to it, like the physical difference between a hound dog and a tiger. If you stand by the pier and watch, you can't even use your eyes to bring the Giant God to the bottom of your eyes, only the vastness of the pavement will grow.

Because of its immense size, Ye Qing feared some busy sea areas and would ask the Giant God engineering vessel to detour.

“Unobstructed, we are surrounded by many vessels of American nationality travelling together to Malacca, where they greet us with constant respect on public radio channels. Said we were heroes, they had spicy whiskey and aromatic Cuban cigars, and we were always welcome aboard. ”

Straits of Malacca and Malaysia are among the busiest routes in international shipping.

Sailing here is not about finding other ships, but about not colliding with them. Unlike driving, the larger the ship, the more obvious the delayed operation effect. So the AIS automated identification system is installed on the ship, and when you turn it on, it sends out the speed, location, and information about the ship. Like broadcasting, it is used to alert surrounding ships to evasion.

This is also why nearby American ships pay frequent tribute to the Giant God.

“These American sailors are interesting enough not to forget our great rescue operation, the Giant God.” Ye Qingxin thought that if he was also on the boat, he could take a small boat to greet him. After all, such interaction could greatly reduce the boring journey.

“Well, good luck on your journey and report back to me after passing through the Strait of Malacca. ”

“Understood, boss. ”

……

In sixteen days, Nicaragua will be reached by the windswept Giant God. At that time, it happened that the mining wild airport could be inaugurated, and a hundred company employees rushed to the vicinity of the Soto rainforest to launch a fierce construction.

Every time I think about it, Ye Qing will be in a mood.

If we rank domestic private industrial companies now, the giant animal industry is certainly not the largest. But it must be the one with the most cash flow and the strongest hard industry.

Which company can build a wild airport on a poor continent in 15 days?

Even if it's simple.

At the same time, two cargo planes carrying a second shipment of supplies were able to carry 80 tons of rare elemental powder from Nicaragua.

Unfortunately, the stock of metal in the factory is now depleted, and the sales of torpedo cars are in another half-month of tension.

“Just in time for the last half of the month, focus on the approval of the long-distance driving project and strive to take the project down! ”

Thinking about this, Ye Qing moved into the background to check the current official website complaint.

Remote driving is a feature that touches no one's interests, from its launch to the present. Ye Qing can clearly see that on the Internet, an invisible hand is guiding public opinion and opinion in a very negative direction.

With remote driving as a negative spear, it refers directly to Giant Beast Industry, which several managers specifically reported to Ye Qing in the morning.

The number of complaints on the official website has decreased somewhat. Ye Qing is planning to go online again to see today's mainstream media news. Has it been mentioned? Yang Lily, the propaganda manager, suddenly knocked on the door.

Yang Lixiu frowned and passed the tablet, “Boss, look at this. ”

On the tablet is a magazine shot, Ye Qing looked down and shocked his body.

This is a magazine photograph of Times Weekly, viewed by countless people as a glorious Times Weekly cover featuring a mysterious and majestic monster logo.

This is the logo of Giant Beast Industry.
