Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 383 Costa's Equipment Demonstration! (Second Update!)

After explaining the work-related matters, Zhu Jingyao frowned and thought for a while, then reminded him:
"Türkiye is no good. Be careful when doing business with them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the person in front of him raise his hand and make an OK gesture.

Knowing that Lin Yi understood, Zhu Jingyao didn't continue nagging. Instead, he turned around and said to Tan Chuan, "President Tan, let's go!"

The two walked out of the workshop one after the other. As soon as they stepped out of the workshop gate, Tan Chuan looked back and glanced around. From his perspective, he could still vaguely see the backs of Lin Yi and the others.

His gaze lingered for a moment, then quickly returned: "Mr. Zhu, you just mentioned their deal with Turkey..."

The question was left unanswered, only half of it was asked.

Zhu Jingyao understood what Tan Chuan meant by asking this question, raised his left hand and pointed forward, explaining as if in jest:
"Their satellite navigation system was developed by themselves."

“Our people are also doing some technical verification, and the higher authorities have approved some funding for them, but this funding only covers the previous research and development.”

"In order to make subsequent upgrades, and also to put pressure on others at the strategic level."

"The higher-ups agreed to let them sell the relevant services to external parties."

"The first country to come to us was Türkiye, which had made things difficult for us back then."

"Tsk..."

"To be honest, when I heard this news, I had a feeling that we were destined to meet again."

"Looking back now, I'm really looking forward to what will happen next on that Turkish soil."

After figuring out the inside story, Tan Chuan's eyes began to gleam. Back then, when the aircraft carrier passed through Türkiye, it was Türkiye that interfered and extorted a large sum of money.

Even after extorting money, they still didn't want to let the boat pass.

If it weren't for Greece mediating, the ship they were holding might still be stuck in Türkiye.

Now someone has heard this news and has an impulse to rush back and tell Lin Yi that when those people in Turkey get their hands on the equipment and start using it, they should sell their information to their rivals.

Let their opponents deal with these guys properly.

It would be best to kill as many as possible.

But his reason also suppressed this impulse.

Reason told him that Turkey could obtain satellite navigation equipment, which would cause more trouble for America, thereby diverting America's attention and giving China valuable time.

The primary task now is to seize the time and every opportunity to develop.

Once America recovers from its slumber in the Middle East and refocuses its attention on East Asia, we must unleash sufficient equipment to give them a surprise!
At that moment, Tan Chuan stopped, opened his mouth, took a deep breath, and then took a step forward:
"Mr. Zhu, let's go!"

In the workshop, after Zhu Jingyao and Tan Chuan, the two big shots, left, the other participants in the meeting gradually gathered around, wanting to know more about the inside story.

Seeing this, Lin Yi decisively chose to sacrifice Cao Bin to save the king, leaving Cao Bin behind and taking the opportunity to slip away.

Back in Suzhou, I had barely settled into my office and sat down when Mao Xiaofei delivered a message.

The goods to be delivered to Costa are ready and can be delivered.

Remembering Zhu Jingyao's instructions, Lin Yi's lips curled up slightly. He picked up the phone on the table, pressed Costa's number, and dialed the number.

Huangpu Grand Hotel.

Costa was somewhat surprised to receive Lin Yi's call. The cooperation between the two sides had been agreed upon, and the funds that Turkey needed to pay had already been received.

It's safe to say that the only reason Lin Yi could give him for calling at this time was that he was going to offer him a kickback.

The thought of kickbacks made Costa's heart pound.

How much should I ask for?

With this thought in mind, he coughed lightly and asked in English:
"Mr. Lin, what price are you willing to pay?"

On the other end of the phone, after figuring out what was being said, Lin Yi moved the receiver away from his ear and looked at the screen of the landline.

What are you babble about?

Staring at the number on the screen, Lin Yi silently recited the number twice in his mind to confirm that the number was correct and that it was indeed Costa's voice he had just heard. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

So, this guy wasn't possessed!

My brain is just fried!

He cleared his throat and spoke to the person opposite him in a serious tone:

"Your goods are ready. Now you can arrange for your airline to prepare a cargo plane to transport them."

He had just finished speaking when a few coughs came through the phone. It was a normal person coughing because they had suddenly heard something shocking—they had choked on their own saliva.

The coughing continued for more than ten seconds. Just when Lin Yi thought that Costa on the other side had coughed him up, the other party's slightly weak voice came over:

"Are you sure? Are you sure all the goods can be delivered?"

The voice was slightly weak, requiring careful listening, and there was also a hint of doubt in it.

Lin Yi didn't continue the conversation. Instead, he took a deep breath and, in a more serious and icy voice, reminded the other party: "Arrange a cargo plane to transport the goods!"

On the other end of the phone, after hearing that serious and cold voice once again, Costa finally confirmed one thing.

Xiaomi Heavy Industry has completed the manufacturing of the equipment, and now they need to receive the goods!
Upon confirming this, he felt no joy whatsoever; instead, a chill ran down his spine.

too fast!
It's getting a little scary!

The number of data terminals procured this time is a very insignificant number if considered in the context of civilian equipment.

Just pick a few large companies; their daily output is more than that.

But this is military equipment.

Due to factors such as equipment requirements and testing standards, the manufacturing speed of military equipment is significantly slower than that of civilian equipment.

If Türkiye were to manufacture these data terminals, the production time would be at least two months, or even three months.

However, when it came to Xiaomi Heavy Industry, despite the Turkish side requesting adjustments and the addition of several functions, the other party actually completed the relevant equipment improvements and manufacturing in just a few days.

If all Chinese companies manufactured other weapons with this kind of efficiency, it would be the end of the world!
Thinking of this possibility, Costa's vest broke out in sweat even faster. While drenched in sweat, he decided not to investigate any further. After all, scaring yourself could easily scare you to death.

After asking a few more questions, Costa hung up the phone, sat back down at his laptop, and sent an email to his direct supervisor.

Costa's boss was very efficient; within two hours of receiving the email, he arranged for a cargo plane to take off from Istanbul and fly directly to Shanghai.

After more than ten hours of flight, the plane arrived in Shanghai, loaded its crew and equipment, and immediately returned to its origin. This plane, carrying a special mission, did not proceed to Istanbul for transit as is the normal flight plan after crossing the Turkish border, but instead flew directly to Ankara.

…………

Akınç Air Base in Ankara is located in northwestern Ankara. It is an important strategic base for the Turkish Air Force, the core of Ankara's air defense, and also an important base for Turkey's involvement in the Syrian conflict.

As soon as the plane landed and the cargo hold was opened, staff from the Turkish Ministry of Defense Logistics Department, along with others, hurriedly emptied the cargo hold of all the shipping containers.

Immediately afterwards, these flight crates were moved to the adjacent hangar. When the crates were opened, they were filled with off-white boxes, each bearing only a silver crosshair logo; nothing else was inside.

After a cursory inspection, the logistics staff removed all the cargo from the airline crates and then neatly stacked them on the ground according to their categories.

After putting the items away, the staff stepped back, leaving the scene to the bosses.

Herrera, the head of logistics, crouched down, picked up one of the white boxes, fiddled with it for a moment, and then handed it to Costa next to him.

"Let me demonstrate how to use it!"

Costa took the box, but instead of opening it immediately, he bypassed his superior Herrera and took a few more boxes from the pile.

After unpacking the box and opening the bag, what appeared before everyone was a device that was about 10 centimeters long and 5 centimeters wide, with half of the top side being a screen and the other half being buttons, and the bottom side being a strap.

Five devices were started up simultaneously.

With the side indicator lights flashing, Costa completed the initial setup of the five devices and established data connections with them, following voice instructions.

After doing all this, he took out four of the devices and handed them to his colleagues: "Now, take these four devices and go in any four directions!"

"The farther the better!"

These colleagues took the equipment and, instead of leaving immediately, looked at Herrera.

Under the watchful eyes of these people, Herrera subtly nodded, signaling them to do as Costa asked.

With permission, the colleagues immediately left with the equipment.

No sooner had they left than Costa delivered the remaining piece of equipment to Herrera:
"I've already set the permissions; this device is for command!"

"Click the menu button, select here, and you can enable command privileges."

"Under command authority, select the menu, and then select the map here."

"Because this system does not record a map of Türkiye, we can only look at real-time satellite maps."

"Don't worry about the coordinates and altitude; the satellite will automatically correct them in real time!"

"Click here!"

As Costa moved, after the device indicator lights flashed for several seconds, a very clear satellite map appeared on the screen.

Along with the map, several dots appeared on the screen.

One red dot, four green dots.

"The red dots represent ourselves, and the green dots represent the colleagues who just went out."

"Press the menu to select these green dots. After selection, we can enable the real-time call function and real-time location sharing. If there is enough map data, we can also enable navigation and view the shortest road between two points."

"In addition to these, we can also access the camera permissions of other devices."

"The image quality isn't very clear, but it's sufficient for understanding the battlefield situation."

"Next to this indicator light, this small hole is a laser rangefinder."

"Effective measurement distance: 400 meters."

"In the menu, select coordinate measurement to enter measurement mode."

"To enter measurement mode, you need to first level the device and enter its current height above the ground."

"Enter this data, select 'Calculate' here, then point the laser emitter at the target, select 'Measure', and finally select 'Calculate' again."

"After the target coordinates are calculated, the device will automatically provide the data."

"This data can be used by the artillery!"

"And these functions, once pre-set, allow the command aircraft to directly control other pre-configured equipment!"

After listening to the explanation, Herrera closed his eyes, mentally recalled what he had just heard, then opened his eyes and began to slowly operate the device.

He selected device number 1, pressed the confirmation button, and the map on the screen zoomed out instantly. Between the red dot representing him and the green dot representing device number 1, a green straight line appeared, marked with dimensions. These dimensions continued to increase as device number 1 moved rapidly.

Below this line, several more options have been added.

[Real-time calling!]

[Real-time measurement!]

Real-time data monitoring!

He chose to speak in real time.

Upon pressing the button to confirm, a whooshing sound immediately came from the device's speaker—the sound of the device moving at high speed and breaking through the air.

Within that sound, there was also the roar of a vehicle engine.

"Hello, can you hear me?"

After two shouts, the whooshing sound of the wind disappeared, and the roar of the engine also vanished.

Instead, the voice of the staff member carrying device number 1 came through:
"This is Kaya, Director Herrera. I can hear you. What are your orders?"

The sound quality was very clear, and Erella nodded in satisfaction. Then, her eyes darted around, and she called out to Kaya on the other end of the terminal:

"Kaya, keep the equipment as level as possible. I think you're currently near the Highway 8 bridge."

"See that small hole next to the indicator light? That's the laser port of the laser rangefinder."

"Aim the laser at the left side of the highway bridge. On the left side, near the bridge, there's a pier with a GPS level point on it!"

"I want to test it!"

As they spoke, Herrera began to calculate.

After completing the calculation, he accessed the camera permissions of device 1, and immediately the screen of the device in his hand changed to the image captured by device 1.

Indeed, as Costa said, the image was somewhat blurry.

But if you need to see the scene clearly, this blurry image is sufficient.

Under the lens, you can see the equipment deflecting, and soon a diamond-shaped platform appears in the frame.

A few seconds later, Kaya's voice came again:

"Director Herrera, I've got my target in sight!"

Once the target was aligned, Herrera pressed the switch, and the laser was emitted from the laser emission port. It hit a nearby pier, then quickly returned and was received by the equipment's receiving port.

After a brief wait, two lines appeared on the screen of the device in his hand.

One red line and one blue line.
