Chapter 316: The Feeling of Familiarity
On Sunday afternoon, January 5th, French time, in the study room of the First Family Manor.
Ron continued: "It was also in 1992. Perhaps because of the end of the Cold War and the sharp cuts in defense costs, Gru Aerospace Corporation took the initiative to deliver it to the door. Its main product is the almost obsolete Panda fighter jet, and the Huoxiu Group participated in the research and development The Super Hornet fighter jet is to replace it. It used to be the manufacturer of the lunar module in the Apollo program. Gru company has a subsidiary company that produces business jets, called Bend Air. Later, Gru company's The aircraft production line, including the Panda fighter line, was sold to Knopp, which has no civilian aircraft and helicopters, and the transport aircraft was converted from an early warning aircraft. Also, Bend Air was sold to General Dynamics.”
"That same year, Miss Harold bought the Avery Engine Company which was sold by General Motors, which produced aircraft and automobile engines."
"At the end of 1993, Miss Harold bought Lore International, which has nine departments, Space Department, Aviation Department, Defense Electronic Commerce Department, Electronics Department, Light Auto Parts Department, Heavy Auto Parts Department, Printing Machines Department, valve and instrumentation department and industrial automation department. Mainly produce Lancer bombers, space shuttles and satellites, and heavy truck axles. Have produced the control module and service module of the Apollo program and the second stage of the Saturn V rocket, global positioning Most of the satellites of the system, the third stage of intercontinental ballistic missiles, and nuclear refining. It mainly operates semiconductors and radios, of which more than 50 percent of civilian aircraft in Western countries use its radio products. In addition, it has a A national-level research laboratory in Thousand Oaks, California. Involved in cutting-edge materials, especially ceramics, infrared thermal imaging, liquid crystal display, high-speed electronics, human-computer interaction, multimedia systems, diagnostic systems, etc. Later, Lore International All of the company's aircraft production lines were sold to Lord Corporation."
"In 1994, Ms. Harold bought the old company Western Industries, and later sold it to the Degu Group. But now it seems that Western Industries has plans to withdraw from the military industry, and has not bid on the military, and Huo Xiu Among the products of the group are the original products of Western Industries Corporation, which should have taken away the patented technology, or it was agreed between the two parties. Western Industries Corporation mainly produces nuclear reactors for military use, and the nuclear reactors of the nuclear aircraft carrier are all owned by it. products. In addition, it also has a share in electronic aspects such as radar systems and optoelectronic systems. Participated in many aerospace programs, manufactured many parts and components, and built launch sites and launch sites for launch vehicles. In terms of civilian use, large-scale electric and electrical engineering, especially nuclear power engineering, occupies a large market share. However, the nuclear power project has now stopped. Also, most of the research laboratories of the Western Industries Corporation have been handed over to the Degu Group.”
"After Western Industries, the Horsho Group has not carried out any more mergers and acquisitions."
"After Miss Harold took over the Hughes Group, she has participated in all the space programs in the United States so far, and unlike others who received money, the Hughes Group directly sponsored more than three billion US dollars. Originally The National Jet Propulsion Laboratory, funded by the state and handed over by the space agency to the California Private Technical Research Institute, was also directly invested by the Horsho Group in the mid-1980s. Now it can be regarded as a member of the Horsho Group. It will be like this It is speculated that the reason may be related to the '59 Nuclear Leakage' lawsuit at the Rockin Company's Santa Susana Field Laboratory. The Horsho Group exposed this incident shortly after it bought the Lockin Company. This incident involved The space agency, the Department of Energy, the California government, Lore International, and the Horsho Group successively paid 1.5 billion U.S. dollars for this matter.
"
"After Ms. Harold took over, Huoxiu Group's new products include fire control radar system No. 78, that is, the Longbow millimeter microwave radar fire control system, and the supporting four-unit Hellfire missile improved from Lord's company. The Longbow Hellfire 8-unit Hellfire missile dedicated to the Longbow gunship, and the McGonagall 12 jumbo jet. After the experts evaluated these products, they only improved in combination with other products of the Huoxiu Group. Fundamental changes have taken place. It is believed that the Huoxiu Group has more advanced technology in its hands. He is controlling the upgrade speed of weapons. The purpose may be to prevent the US military from obtaining more advanced technology. Especially the appearance of the Longbow radar shows that The Horshou Group could also develop similar products for other helicopters. Also, the Horshou Group has sold all of its fighter lines and may be developing or already have new fighters.”
"There is a Huoxiu Technology Research Center in the desert base of the Huoxiu Group. We don't know anything about this place. According to the name, it should integrate the technologies of all the companies absorbed by the Huoxiu Group and provide technical support for all other companies. However, it has not produced any results so far, and its research direction may be theoretical science. Apollo Electronics may also be in it, and there are also a group of Russian scientists in it. It is confirmed, but it is only revealed. The Soviet Union had a Space Shuttle Energia program, including the An225 transport plane that sent the Energia Space Shuttle to the sky, and the Energia single-stage launch vehicle using the RD-170 engine. The Horsho Group’s The technology of these things is included in the products. In addition, in recent years, Russian military enterprises have become private companies. Experts believe that the Horsho Group should control some of them within the scope that the Russian government can tolerate, such as Moore Shipyard. Although it belongs to the Pacific Maritime Group, it is definitely not ruled out that the Huoxiu Group participated. In this way, even if the Huoxiu Group used the technology at that time, it is already difficult to tell whether those technologies were obtained in the past or are obtained now. .”
"In addition to this Huoxiu Technology Research Center, there are currently three verifiably national-level large-scale research laboratories under the Huoxiu Group. One is the former Huoxiu Laboratory, which is now called the Huoxiu Space Power Research Laboratory. The research direction should be It is related to ion thrusters, nuclear power engines, and laser guidance. If we speculate from the acquisition of Western Industries, it may be researching projects such as thermonuclear fusion and nuclear reactor miniaturization. Western Industries used to be in the 1960s Participated in a nuclear-powered rocket research project called Project Stray Dog, run by the Department of Energy's Lawrence National Laboratory in Livermore, California. Also involved with the Air Jet Corporation, which partnered with Locke Because the company is also in the rocket engine business, Ms. Harold once wanted to acquire him, but the US Department of Justice did not approve it."
"The other is the laboratory of the former Lore International, which is now called the Huoxiu Comprehensive Technology Research Laboratory. Its research projects involve a wide range of research results, but so far no major scientific research results have been produced. The results appear in Migao Group, Degu Group, Guangmei Group and Huo Xiu Group. Another one is the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. into the hands of competitors."
"In addition to the above four independent large-scale research laboratories, each company under the Huoxiu Group has its own laboratories. At present, the Huoxiu Group has fifteen subsidiaries. The first one, Huoxiu Aerospace Company, is mainly Launch satellites, produce all kinds of satellites or accessories, and accessories of various spacecraft. It can produce all types of satellites at present. It is one of the main satellite manufacturers in the world. Since the beginning of the human space program, there have been Half of the satellites and spacecraft were previously and later manufactured and launched by companies under the Huoxiu Group, and nearly 50% of the rest were involved. Although it has never independently manufactured the entire manned space shuttle, experts assess that it can, especially After the acquisition of Lore International, it could fill in the valves and instrumentation. However, maybe it could have been, and the acquisition of Lore International was just a cover.”
"The second one, Hosow Electronics, is mainly engaged in the design of satellites and satellite ground systems for customers who launch satellites. It serves as the foundation and logistics of Hosow Aerospace. Customers need to design satellites, and then hand them over to Huo Xiu Space Company for production and launch. Currently, the optional launch vehicles include Yutianshen 1 and 2 and two improved models, Julishen 2 and 3, and Delta 2 No. 8, the eight official joint-manufacturing versions, that is, the carrier rockets currently in service in the United States and mainly contracted by Horsho Aerospace Corporation, are inherited by Corner Corporation, Martinetta Corporation, and Mag Corporation. In addition, Horsho Electronics Corporation It also participated in the satellite positioning, tracking, surveillance systems, missile defense systems, etc. of the United States. According to expert assessment, it is entirely possible for the Horsho Group to design and manufacture an entire launch vehicle that only uses its company’s products.”
"The third one, Lockein Rocket Company, mainly manufactures launch vehicle engines and fuels, as well as missiles. It mainly produces the Lockein 25 low-temperature propellant engine, which is called the main engine of the space shuttle by the space agency. It appeared at the end of 1992 Lockine RD-170 series low-temperature mixed propellant engines are the most powerful series of liquid rocket engines in human history, with a driving force of more than 1.7 million pounds. These two products account for nearly 70% of the market share. Well, the rest of the share mainly belongs to the RD-180 low-room temperature mixed propellant engine obtained by LORD from General Dynamics. Its driving force is only over 900,000 pounds. When it was authorized by Russia to be used by General Power Company, the Locke RD-170 series was also authorized. They use Russian technology, high-pressure staged combustion cycle technology and oxygen-enriched technology, but the Locke RD-170 series engine It is produced in the United States, while the RD-180 engine is assembled in Russia and sold by Pratt & Whitney and Russia's state-owned enterprise Power Consortium. Experts infer that Locke's RD-170 series engine technology is the Huoxiu Group One of the technologies obtained in the chaos back then, Russia had to say that it was authorized to the outside world for the sake of face, mainly because it was afraid that the Horsho Group would pass all the technology to the Americans. As an auxiliary inference, there is also the Mag 12 large jet It is based on the An225 transport aircraft, and the An225 was bought by Shifeng Baoquan from Wukelan in 1992, and the Mag12 appeared in 1993. Wukelan It is impossible to provide too much technology, and it is a bit difficult to develop it within a year, so experts infer that the Huoxiu Group has obtained complete information before, and the purchase of An-225 should have a certain cover-up effect. Lockin Rocket Company It also produces Lockeine J-2T engines and other engines that are often used in the second or third stage, with a market share of more than 30%, but this is used in the Delta series after annexing the Mag company In fact, it turned out that it only had a market share of about 20%. Its main competitors were Pratt & Eljet, etc. Lockin Rocket Company also produced a variety of missiles, Phoenix long-range air-to-air missiles, Calf short-range Air-to-surface missiles, Tortoise anti-tank missiles, Harpoon anti-ship missiles, Tomahawk cruise missiles, Prison Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missiles, and Longbow Hellfire missiles. However, Lockin Rocket Company can only produce this A Hellfire missile."
"The fourth one, Bendis Radar Company, is mainly engaged in radar systems and missile systems, including vertical launch systems, inertial navigation systems, and satellite positioning and guidance systems. The Huoxiu Group has inherited the products of the companies it acquired. Both land and air are produced, especially in the fire control radar system of fighter jets. Bendis Radar Company, or Huo Huo Aircraft Company, almost takes over the fire control radar systems of all main fighter jets. Now, Panda fighter jets use upgraded After the No. 71, the Warhawk fighter uses the No. 63 and the extended No. 70. The Fighting Falcon fighter uses the No. 66 and the derived No. 68. These two originally belonged to Western Industries. The Hornet fighter uses the No. 65 and the derived No. No. 73, Longbow armed helicopters use No. 78. In addition, the Hughes Aircraft Company also participated in the development of the Knopp Specter strategic bomber. Later, there was no news of the Hughes Group's withdrawal. Presumably the fire control radar of the Specter strategic bomber is also Bendi Manufactured by Sida."
"The fifth one, Martinetta Materials Co., Ltd., whose main products are unknown. It is speculated based on the purchased things that it involves inorganic non-metallic materials, polymer materials, and nanomaterials. It is speculated that it can be used to make up for the shortcomings of the Horsho Group. Materials on the space shuttle, personal protective materials and stealth coatings for fighter jets, etc.”
"The sixth one is Dunlop Equipment Company. Its products are various electronic equipment and systems, which are mainly used in aircraft, vehicles, ships and security. The targets are Huoxiu Group and the other three groups. Security products include building fire protection , door guards, security guards, a variety of detection equipment and personal self-defense items, these are also provided to Shi Feng for security."
"The seventh one, Tegu Tire and Rubber Company, mainly produces aviation tires for use by the Huoxiu Group and the Guangmei Group. The tires for the unknown supersonic sports car and the Diamond Supersonic should come from here. It also produces space suits As for aerospace equipment, Martinetta should be involved, but I don’t know how much.”
"The eighth one, Avery Engine Company, mainly produces aero-engines, braking systems and control systems. At present, there is only one turbojet engine with an afterburner chamber of unknown type, which is installed on the Diamond supersonic aircraft. With the afterburner, it's around 50,000 pounds of thrust each."
"Ninth, Remington Arms Company, from revolvers to sniper rifles, from submachine guns to heavy machine guns, and the cannon of the Longbow gunship is also produced here. It is an improved version of the Bushmaster chain gun. Special instructions, At present, except for rifles, shotguns, and sniper rifles, it is best not to buy other light weapons."
"The tenth is Hugh Helicopter Company, which has four production lines in total, producing Longbow attack helicopters, Little Bird light attack helicopters, Pony light reconnaissance helicopters, Defender light multipurpose military helicopters, and tailless helicopters are among them One type. The current business is mainly to upgrade the Longbow 1 to Longbow 4, and the Longbow attack helicopters have almost sold out.”
"The eleventh, McGonagall Aircraft Company, has three production lines in total, producing the McGonagall 92 medium-sized aircraft, the Mag 12 large aircraft, and the Mag 17 transport aircraft. The sales price of the Mag 12 is three times the assessed price. Times, so far no other company has bought it except Guangmei Group. The sale and purchase of the McGonagall 17 transport aircraft must be approved by the military. Now it mainly produces the McG92 medium-sized aircraft, which occupies more than 20% of the regional airliner market. Yes By the way, the engines of Mag 92 and Mag 12 are GE85 series high bypass ratio turbofan engines of General Electric Company, which are specially developed for them and can only be used by the Horsho Group. The maximum thrust of the current model has exceeded One hundred thousand pounds."
"The twelfth one, Gru Aircraft Company, is currently unknown. It should be developing new products, and the direction may be stealth and stealth aircraft."
"The thirteenth, Lore Precision Automation Co., Ltd., involves all automation fields, and the targets are mostly the Huoxiu Group and the other three groups. The main military products are currently unknown, and it is guessed that they are human-computer interaction robots, smart weapons and drones, etc. .”
"The fourteenth, Kanger Aircraft Company, currently has only one diamond supersonic aircraft and four Kanger expedition medium-sized aircraft."
"Fifteenth, Shao Kang Na United Industrial Company, mainly engaged in four categories, one is mining and smelting, mainly non-ferrous metals, including coal for self-use; the other is construction, mainly civil engineering, and building materials for decoration , which is a by-product of smelting. The third is manufacturing, mainly shipbuilding, as well as some self-used heavy vehicles, and various self-used electrical equipment, including building electrical appliances, household electrical appliances, office electrical appliances, etc. These electrical equipment should be Dunlop Equipment Company develops and designs, and it manufactures. The fourth is environmental protection, mainly dealing with the environmental problems caused by the Huoxiu Group. For this company, experts evaluate that from ore to finished products, from sand to buildings, it can independently Manufactures most of the civilian products on Earth and builds most of its buildings."
Ron said: "The Huoxiu Aerospace Group is a complete heavy industrial chain from civilian to military use, and it is the most important card in the hands of the Good Mood Consortium. He added Degu Petroleum Group, Guangmei World Aviation Group, Mi Gao Entertainment Group, and Pacific Ocean Affairs Group, this is the complete Good Mood consortium."
The old man asked: "Have you evaluated its assets?"
Ron said: "Except for its own use, most of the Huoxiu Group's products are sold to other groups in Good Mood. It has not disclosed information, so excluding unknown assets, the apparent assets are about 200 billion U.S. dollars, of which Shao Connor The company accounted for nearly half."
The old man thought for a while and said, "Forget it, for the time being, I can't figure out whether her funds were saved or used, so let's leave it at that for today."
"Okay, Father," said Ron. ...
On January 6, Japan time, in the morning, Mihua Town.
Yamazaki, Mei Daizi and Lan came to the gate of Didan High School together, looked at the people around, saw her coming, and immediately cleared a space, Mei Daizi asked as she walked: "It's strange, this scene Why do I feel like I've experienced it?"
"You have been through it for many years." Yuanzi's voice came from behind, "Let's go."...
