Technology: Breaking the Global Monopoly

Chapter 1867 The So-called Military Industry

There is a large amount of helium-3 on the moon, as well as other extremely important resources that are not available on the Blue Planet.

  Jiuzhou Technology could become a super technology company of today's scale in ten years of development in Daxia. If we give them ten years, no no no, just five years, what will Jiuzhou Technology do with the moon?

Although Jim has followed Dr. Rosen for many years and has a good impression of Jiuzhou Technology, he also knows that what Mask said is not a lie.

There was silence in the meeting room again.

However, not long after, Jim spoke up: "We, Rosen Technology, are a local technology company supported by the Boston chaebol. If you, Mr. Mask, can convince the Boston chaebol and provide the corresponding resources as soon as possible, we are willing to cooperate with your company.

Of course, as you can see, our Rosen Technology's technical analysis of Jiuzhou Technology has reached the level where we can trial-produce real rockets. At the same time, our software system, as long as it is not connected to the Internet, can barely achieve similar optimization capabilities of the Jiuzhou compiler.

Of course, due to the technical skills of the engineers in the technical team, there is still some distance to catch up.”

Every time you come into contact with Rosen Technology, you can refresh your cognition.

Mask had already made up his mind to tie himself up with Rosen Technology, so he remained patient and communicated with the management of the business cooperation departments of Rosen Technology. Even when there were occasional phone calls, he would just mute them and transfer them to his assistant.

However, his actions angered executives from NASA, Uncle Sam's military, and several other interest groups.

"At this critical moment, where on earth is Mask going? Isn't he waiting at the company?"

"The assistant is answering the phone again? How can the assistant know about this kind of project? Hurry up and ask his assistant to remind him!"

"Combined with this year's defense budget, our strategic deterrence must be flexible. While achieving strategic goals, we must provide military enterprises with enough orders and funds to enable them to develop better products. SpaceX is an important partner. If Mask cannot notify them, then notify other senior executives."

After a whole day of arguing, although the increase and allocation of the budget have not been negotiated, in response to the rapid development of Daxia Jiuzhou Technology and Daxia's technological industry, these senior officials and relevant experts and scientists in a certain corner office have also discussed three strategic deterrence plans.

First, implement comprehensive deterrence, achieve maximum deterrence effect through cross-regional operations, joint services, and building a network of relationships with allies, and accelerate the construction of nuclear submarines and ships to maintain a safe, reliable, and effective nuclear deterrence.

Second, to enhance deterrence in competition and give Uncle Sam’s military an edge, it is necessary to combine the activities of various departments with other tools of power, not only to develop maritime forces, but also to increase the construction of aerospace forces and land forces, increase research and development, and deploy more strategic weapons to complicate the military preparations of competitors.

Third, accelerate reform and innovation to establish lasting advantages for future joint forces, accelerate the development of various arms of the force through reform, cooperate with major military-industrial enterprises and institutions, speed up technology acquisition, deploy high-tech weapons, and cultivate more military talents for the new era.

On the third day after the tone and plan were determined, that is, the second day after the product introductions of other cooperative enterprises and institutions at the Daxia Jiuzhou Technology Cross-era Product Conference were completed, a senior official of Uncle Sam's Pentagon announced in an interview with media reporters: "In the previous fiscal year budget, we applied for funds for the establishment of a third multi-domain task force, which will maintain contact with the opponent during the competition phase and carry out electronic warfare and network warfare missions.

However, with the current development of military technology, we need to apply for more funds to promote the construction of missile early warning and tracking capabilities, multi-domain training and testing, etc.

For the sake of freedom and security, we will raise the standards of cooperation with major military-industrial enterprises and institutions..." The defense budget hit a new high, but after this report came out, the so-called freedom and security could not compare to the surge in the stocks of major military-industrial enterprises in the US stock market.

Nowadays, even if you are not a player of the US stock market, you know one thing clearly: a wrench at $400, 33 coffee cups at $391, a USB adapter on a B2800 bomber at $52, and a toilet lid at $10000 are all projects that make huge profits for military-industrial enterprises.

Not to mention the Ticonderoga cruiser, which was previously worth US$3 million but was directly retired after being modified, and the field toilets that were simply built with material boards but are worth US$18, which are also excellent orders for many military industrial enterprises.

Although after this media press conference, Uncle Sam’s military leaders repeatedly told the senior representatives of military-industrial enterprises in internal meetings:

"What we need is truly high-tech weapons, space weapons that can take down the Kyushu Space Station!"

"Five years is too long. We can only give you three years! And you must come up with actual products within the first three quarters after the bidding is completed!"

"We know that the R&D investment in high-tech military weapons is huge, so the budget this time is sufficient! But correspondingly, we also need sufficiently excellent cross-era weapons! We also want to have Jiuzhou Technology's combat mecha! And it must be stronger than Jiuzhou's combat mecha!"

……

Each requirement is stricter than the other, and the difficulty is more exaggerated than the other.

Occasionally, some managers with common sense and conscience would complain in their hearts after hearing these requests: If their company had this kind of technology, they would have competed with Jiuzhou Technology in the global market long ago. They would not come here to listen to you bearded guys bragging.

But after the meeting, the situation in the private clubs and secret villas of American celebrities was completely different.

“I know that your company does not yet have technical products that can meet the standards, but you can write down the data that can meet the standards in the future in the bidding documents.

Don't worry, we require that there be actual products in the next two years, but the final deployment still requires multiple audits. Even if a combat mecha that costs 10 million yuan per unit fails the audit, it can still get a budget allocation of about 50 million yuan at most... Of course, how far you can go in this process depends on your company's technical strength."

An elite in a suit and tie handed over a safe with a smile on his face.

"There are all the documents for the five villas in NY State and City Z, as well as 10 million bearer Treasury bonds."

After seeing this safe, other sounds were heard in the villa.

"Of course, this is just one of the benefits of bidding for combat mechas. Our people are still here..."
