When Fan Wuyao was visiting the Skunk Factory, Lockheed Martin's chairman and executive officer Robert Stevens personally rushed over to meet him.

Stevens served in the U.S. Navy Team 6 and had a combat experience with an M-16 rifle walking in the swamp battlefield in Vietnam. After retiring from the army, with constant struggle, Stevens obtained the University of Slippery Rock Behavioral Science. Bachelor's degree, Master's degree in Engineering and Management from New York Institute of Technology, and PhD in mBa from Columbia University. His manners are polite and straightforward, as well as a scholarly atmosphere, which gives him the dual character of a scholar and a businessman at the same time.

After joining Lockheed Martin, Stevens was promoted all the way in the field of defense and aviation. In the end, he walked from the bottom to the position of chairman and executive officer of Lockheed Martin.

Stevens once told people that he cared for every weapon Loma produced like he did to his son. Why is it so? To put it bluntly, it is because there are business opportunities behind every weapon, and the high-tech weapons and equipment such as F-22 and F-35 have unlimited business opportunities. However, Lockheed Martin's "sons" are not only different in appearance, but they are also numerous.

Approximately one-third of American companies have inextricable connections with military production, so military companies naturally have a broad and subtle relationship with American politics. For arms companies, maintaining arms demand is as important as maintaining national security.

In addition to his close relationship with government officials, Stevens himself also served on the United States Future Aviation and Aerospace Industries Council under former President George Bush. His extensive contacts in Washington have become the link between Lockheed Martin and the political circles, and it is also an important condition for his success.

In the eyes of Lockheed Martin's executives, Stevens is a big boss. In the eyes of Lockheed Martin's employees, Stevens has the ability to bring them a lot of money.

Fan Wubing is still a little curious about the world’s largest arms dealer. He found that Stevens has larger ears and sharp eyes. He is a bit eagle-eyed, and his figure is relatively large. Tall and burly, he is worthy of being a member of the Navy 6 team and the Vietnam War.

However, there is not much exchange between Fan Wubing and Stevens. After all, Stevens is willing to come. It was based on Fan Wubing’s status, but he didn’t even think that Fan Wubing would just come. After all, everyone knows how many arms can be bought for him, knowing what can be sold where, and wanting to sell a large amount of arms to the Big Six, it seems impossible at present.

Although Lockheed Martin basically controls the Department of Defense, Stevens is not arrogant enough to allow Congress to pass arms sales to the Big Six. This is not in the interests of the United States. You can’t put something better. Selling to a more powerful opponent is asking for trouble, but if selling to a weaker opponent, it is to cultivate healthy competition.

During the visit, Fan Wubing still saw a lot of weird things, such as the type of motorboat that can rise to an altitude of 20,000 meters, and the type of laser fire control system armed on tanks and armored vehicles, of course the most What interests him is a kind of individual equipment that is still in the experiment, which is called a mechanical exoskeleton.

This is a metal skeleton that can greatly increase the load-bearing capacity of soldiers. It is a kind of robotic technology equipment that can provide external forces to meet the soldiers' mobility and support needs.

American soldiers are often overloaded with combat loads, which increases the pressure on the body and makes the soldiers exhausted. The mechanical exoskeleton can transfer this weight to the ground through battery-powered metal bones. Advanced portable microcomputers can make this exoskeleton coordinate with the soldiers' movements. This completely unbundled, hydraulically driven humanoid exoskeleton makes the soldiers effortless to sit and lie.

Bennett, who accompanied Fan on the tour, said that the maximum load of this system can reach 90 kilograms.

Fan Wubing carefully observed this equipment, and found that it was an externally-piercing mechanical skeleton designed to imitate the structural characteristics of the human body. It was equipped with a hydraulic transmission device and a structural design that could be bent like a joint. It could not only move upright, but also It can also complete a variety of relatively complex movements such as squatting and creeping.

However, when Fan Wubing put on this thing and experienced it for himself, he found that its control is not complicated, and it does not need to be controlled by a joystick or other mechanical devices. Moreover, it is very convenient to wear, and it takes only half a minute to completely take off.

The power source of this human mechanical exoskeleton is two lithium polymer batteries with a total weight of less than four kilograms. After a full charge, the wearer can be guaranteed to carry a weight of 90 kilograms at 5 kilometers per hour and continue to travel for an hour, and the sprint speed of this equipment can reach 16 kilometers per hour.

Bennett also said that the company is still continuously improving this mechanical exoskeleton system so that American soldiers can load at least about one hundred kilograms of weight and improve their ability to effectively complete tasks.

Fan Wubing did not speak after trying it out, but when the sisters Ding Bing and Ding Xue saw this thing, they felt a little weird. It was difficult to understand how this thing works. It doesn't seem to be a very complicated set of things. It is indescribable to be able to turn ordinary soldiers into cyborgs as powerful.

"It's amazing. This thing is used for mountain climbing or something, but it saves energy, especially for camping or something. With a full set of equipment, one person can handle it." Fan Wuyi said haha. Bennett said, "Is this thing for sale now? If it is sold, I can get hundreds of sets to play with. In some local enterprises, I can use these things, or just put them into commercial use. In the market, the effect is also good."

Bennett couldn't figure out whether Fan Wubing said it was true or false, so he smiled and said, "If Mr. Fan is intentional, it can be discussed, but this thing has not been finalized, and occasionally there will be some malfunctions. When the finished product is out, I remember to notify Mr. Fan. As long as there are customer needs, we still try to satisfy them, but the Big 6 market is afraid that it will be difficult to solve, and the Ministry of Defense will not be able to pass it."

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I can use this kind of thing in companies in Australia and Indonesia. The labor intensity there is relatively high, and it is very convenient to use this set of tools when moving things." Fan Wuyao also said nonsense.

Bennett smiled and said, "Hehe, Mr. Fan was joking. Such a set of equipment costs more than 100,000 U.S. dollars. It seems that it is a little bit at a loss to use it as a porter."

However, in the end, the two parties still initialed a set of agreements. Fan Wubing spent about 200 million U.S. dollars here to order 20 ordinary small armed helicopters, some speedboats, and a complete set of safety protection systems. He wanted to dominate the small islands in Australia, but he couldn't do without a little equipment.

When he finally left, the old Jewish man Maximus pulled his sleeve and whispered, "I can't take much time here. Then, if you have anything of interest, I will get you some information. , Too sophisticated may not work, but I, the senior vice president, can touch things, just speak up."

"Damn, when did you get so courageous? Aren't you afraid of the CIA and arresting you?" Fan Wuyao said in surprise.

"I am going to live in China University 6 for a long time, where are they going to catch me?" the old man said.

After all, Maximus is keen to work everywhere, just to satisfy his vanity, which means that you don’t think I am old, but I can eat in any big company. I used to be at Hughes. Later, it was also possible at General Motors, and now it is the same at Lockheed Martin.

"That's all right, you can collect some good things when you are okay, then I will ask you for it." Fan Wuyao nodded and said.

However, Fan Wubing did not expect the old man to come up with any valuable technical equipment information. What he cared about was actually some of the latest developments in scientific research. If Maximus is an insider, it would represent a world-class team. A lot of information from Lockheed Martin, a military technology company, is transparent to Fan Wuyi.

Although it is unlikely that I will get involved in military production now~www.wuxiamtl.com~, depending on the domestic situation, it is also an inevitable trend to allow private military production. I have a heavy industry production base in the country, and I have my own research institute. There are a large number of military experts from the former Soviet Union. If they can obtain some technical information from Lockheed Martin, coupled with the liberalization of domestic policies, it is not a fantasy to enter the field of military production by themselves.

Of course, all of this needs to be seen. Now my main goal is still to make money, and the most important thing is to know that Song Yuanping has transferred a large amount of money invested in US stocks to other industries. Among them, or withdraw directly and invest in other countries.

But soon, when Fan Wuyao flew to New York and met Song Yuanping, who was in charge of financial affairs here, the current Nasdaq was basically in a frenzy, although Everyone can't see how much the price of the stock has risen, but the Nasdaq index is going strong all the way, and the mad cow will never look back!

In the past six months, I am afraid that my assets have doubled again! Fan Wubing had not figured out how much money he had made at this time!

In a word, it is safe to lose the bag, and now the most important thing is to pay close attention to cash out.
