Chapter 288: Taking American Main Combat Equipment to the Exhibition
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Regarding the Middle East’s issue, Tang Rui didn’t bother to think about it at all, as it wasn’t something he should worry about.
Right now, he was concerned about the Zhuhai Airshow.
The exhibit from the Crimson Corporation had to be eye-catching.
How much it sold for wasn’t important.
But he needed to make the Crimson brand known.
Although Crimson was popular online, it was really due to the company’s security department’s influence.
Crimson’s real weapon was just one famous sixth-generation fighter.
Things like mechanical dogs were not considered national weapons.
As for those things that couldn’t be exposed, he couldn’t bring them to the exhibition, which was frustrating.
“Red Lotus, simplify the individual exoskeleton armor to be on par with USA’s individual equipment.”
After much thought, Tang Rui decided that the new product could only be some individual equipment.
It was possible to display the Ersatz Kick at the exhibition.
But it wasn’t for sale.
“Master, the individual exoskeleton armor cannot be simplified to that extent,”
Red Lotus directly stated, unable to do so.
This…
The material of the individual exoskeleton armor is naturally stronger than
American individual equipment. Even with simplification, it can’t be reduced unless the material is changed.
But changing the material would mean essentially redesigning a set similar to
American standards…
Redesign a similar set?
That seemed promising.
There were no patents in arms.
Even if the design and function were the same, as long as the parameters were correct, it could be sold for money.
Nobody could accuse you of violating patent rights.
Thinking of this, Tang Rui suddenly had a bold idea.
“Red Lotus, show me all the active main American battle equipment.
“Okay, master.”
Suddenly, numerous pieces of equipment appeared before Tang Rui.
All of the USA’s main equipment, from individual equipment to tanks, planes, cannons, missiles, and Ersatz Kicks, appeared before him.
-Red Lotus, start recording, note down everything I select.” Tang Rui raised his hand and began choosing equipment.
M1A2 SEPV2 tanks, M3 Bradley combat vehicles, M109A6 self-propelled guns,
Apache attack helicopters, F-16E/F Super Hornets, F-22 Raptors, B1B Lancers,
C-5 Galaxy transports…
As Tang Rui continued to click, he essentially selected the strongest batch of equipment currently in service with the USA.
in addition, he selected a large number of individual weapons like Stingers and Javelins.
Finally, he pointed to the Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile.
-Let’s start with these, copy them, make five of each land weapon, one of each aircraft, ten missiles each, and a set of Minuteman III with a launcher.”
“Okay, master, Red Lotus understands.
Red Lotus didn’t ask about the blueprints, because there were none, but that didn’t matter.
As long as they had the weapon’s parameters, Red Lotus could manufacture them.
After all, these weapons were considered outdated in Tang Rui’s possession and were very easy to make.
“Right, add those equipment to the report and send it to Lin Chao,” Tang Rui spoke again.
“Okay, master.”
After receiving the exhibition product catalog from Red Lotus, Lin Chao was dumbfounded.
Was this Crimson’s exhibition weaponry?
This should be Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Raytheon…
“President Tang, is this exhibition weapon catalog correct?” Lin Chao called
Tang Rui to inquire.
“No, why can’t these weapons be exhibited?” Tang Rui asked back, he didn’t remember any such rule.
“They can be exhibited, but are these knockoffs?
“Who said they’re knockoffs, I developed them independently, they just look a bit similar.”
“Then why are the names and performance parameters of the weapons the same?”
“Pure coincidence.”
“Forget it, other than that, you need to change the names of the weapons, like the tanks, you can’t write M1A2, you need to change it, it’ll be easier to explain.”
“Like that? Then change the letters to the next position, the tank will be N1B2.”
“Alright, I’ll report it.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up, Lin Chao looked at the exhibition weapon list in front of him and felt overwhelmed.
Forget it.
He was just a messenger, whether it gets approved is up to the higher-ups. Lin Chao stopped thinking about it and began to help Tang Rui modify the weapon numbers, then uploaded them through a secure line.
In the following period, planes kept taking off and landing at Crimson’s runway, transporting the exhibition products to the convention center.
At first, it was our own transport planes.
Later, it became C-5 Galaxy transport planes.
A C-5 flying randomly in the domestic skies indeed startled many people, even the fighter pilots on air duty were stunned.
But this news wasn’t exactly secret.
Soon, it became known domestically that Crimson had pulled off a stunt, copying all of the American main equipment and bringing them to the Zhuhai Airshow for exhibition.
Upon hearing this news, domestic military enterprises could only say that
Tang Rui knew how to play the game.
Some military enterprises even wanted to buy the production rights for these weapons, but Tang Rui ignored them.
Not that he didn’t want to, but he didn’t have time.
Because Tang Rui was preparing the most shocking weapon for the Zhuhai Airshow.
Copying American equipment was just a small gesture, just for making money—just to mess around
The thing he was making now was the truly terrifying thing-giant mechs, like the ones in Pacific Rim.
Such a large mech-nobody would take it seriously-they’d think it was some sort of mockup.
After all, with current metal materials, it’s impossible to make such mechs—the joint issue alone would be insurmountable.
Even with Tang Rui’s current materials science technology, making joints for giant mechs wasn’t up to standard.
It could be used, but it would wear out and be scrapped after a few uses- especially the hip and knee joints that needed to be flexible… and turn… and bear weight.
What material could withstand hundreds of tons of body constantly moving and jumping? It was simply unsustainable.
Just the wear and tear of the bearings would require a change every day.
To make joints that could support a giant body, Tang Rui had to cheat using the system panel.
Bearings?
Who needed bearings, just use magnetic force to encircle it.
Two magnetic field coils wrapped together-with the middle being magnetic repulsion. There’d be no contact, so no wear either.
The entire mech’s drive would rely on powerful electric motors, powered by a nuclear fusion reactor in the chest.
This mech essentially integrated the peak of his materials science and electromagnetism.
Tang Rui hadn’t even published many of the theories yet.
As for the combat power of the entire mech, that was a bit lacking.
But combat power wasn’t important, what was important was the appearance —as long as it looked cool.
This wasn’t meant for fighting.
It was meant for showing off..
