Chapter 520: A Good Start (Part 1)

Sun Cheng curved his lips into an arc, "Xiao Wu, project the list of all military and industrial technologies and equipment in the Mall that I have permission to access!"

"Screening complete, there are a total of 143 technologies and products!"

Following Xiao Wu's cold, mechanical voice, four beams of light were immediately projected from Xiao Wu's screen, and four light screens, each one meter in length and width, appeared out of thin air on one side of the reception room.

On the light screens, over a hundred different technologies and commodities were strikingly displayed.

It should not be difficult for others to look at, because these technologies and commodities each had a picture and a simple line of introduction.

These were naturally things Sun Cheng had carefully prepared long ago; he had already deduced everything he might encounter during his first official contact with the country.

For this reason, the emergency plans prepared alone numbered no fewer than a dozen.

Although Base No. 1 in Huwangling could not be exposed for the time being, Sun Cheng still had enough trump cards in his hand.

For example, the smartphone Xiao Wu was disguised as; they say you can see the big from the small, and he was now using this miniature Decepticon to put on a good show.

Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Wu's holographic projection appeared, the expressions of the four people in the reception room changed in unison.

"Is this holographic projection technology?"

Captain Sun Long from the Equipment Department had his eyes wide open; it was clear he was a military officer with a technical background, very sensitive to advanced technology.

Sun Cheng smiled slightly and did not answer.

Projection technology was not some rare thing; it had been born decades ago.

Currently, the mainstream projection technologies in the real world mainly include the following three: LCD technology, DLP technology, and LCOS technology, among which the most mature and perfect is the DLP technology invented by Texas Instruments.

However, compared to true holographic projection, DLP technology can only be considered as having just touched the threshold.

And what Xiao Wu used was a more advanced optical imaging technology; strictly speaking, it could indeed be counted as a type of holographic projection, but the principles and technical content were undoubtedly much higher.

Sun Cheng did not explain much, stood up straight, and on the projected light screen, reached out and tapped on an aero-engine icon labeled 【F100 Turbofan Engine】.

The next moment, a slightly smaller light screen, about forty centimeters in length and width, was projected from the light wall again.

On the small light screen, there was strikingly more detailed information.

"F100 Turbofan Engine: A fourth-generation aero-engine that Pratt & Whitney started developing in 1970 AD, began testing in 1972 AD, and delivered to the United States Air Force at the end of 1974 AD."

"There are 15 models in the F100 series, of which 7 are in service with the US military, 3 are in technical storage, 1 is continuously improved, and 4 are exclusively for foreign supply!"

"The F100 engine provided by this Mall is an improved version based on the 【F100-PW-100】."

"Detailed data is as follows..."

Seeing that the four people's gazes were all attracted by that small light screen, especially Captain Sun Long, who was even leaning forward impatiently.

"Can you really get an F100 engine? How is the performance of this improved version? What changes are there compared to the original version?"

He asked several questions in a row, his face even flushed.

Regarding this, Sun Cheng also knew some of the reasons.

Since the Xinhai Revolution, for a long time, because the first president packaged Xia Country as a capitalist country to resist the 'Ten Thousand Mile Eastern Defense Line' of the red Soviet Union, Xia Country did indeed receive support from Britain, France, and the United States, which had severe red-phobia, for a period of time.

This support was maintained intermittently until the mid-to-late 1980s, when Xia Country took advantage of two honeymoon periods to purchase many advanced equipment and facilities from abroad.

For example, after the United States took the lead in developing third-generation aircraft back then, Xia Country, due to national defense pressure, was actively striving to introduce more mature third-generation fighter jets from the United States while developing its own third-generation aircraft.

Although the United States flatly refused to sell the F-15 and F-14 series of heavy fighter jets to Xia Country, Congress eventually approved the export of another main fighter jet equipped by the US military, the F-16, to Xia Country.

From the mid-1980s to the early 1990s, before being listed as a restricted export country under the 【Bawa Agreement】, Xia Country purchased a total of 177 F-16 Fighter Jets from the United States and obtained permission to purchase parts to assemble two hundred aircraft domestically.

Later, with the deterioration of relations between Xia Country and the United States, the plan for Xia Country to purchase parts to assemble two hundred F-16 Fighter Jets on its own could not be completed.

But through exploring the F-16 fighter jet and combining it with some experience from its own self-developed third-generation aircraft, Xia Country successfully launched its first third-generation aircraft in 1999 AD -- the Golden Eagle.

The Golden Eagle is a twin-engine heavy fighter jet, and because its appearance and some designs heavily imitate the F-16, it is often jokingly called the 'twin-engine fat version of the F-16' by European and American military fans and domestic 'father-seeking' factions.

It has almost the same range and combat radius as the F-15/Su-27, but limited by Xia Country's deficiencies in basic materials and high-precision equipment, the Golden Eagle's aero-engine only caught up in performance to the castrated version of the F100 aero-engine that the United States exported to Xia Country back then.

However, regardless of quality, service life, or accident rate, it cannot be compared with the US military's own 【F100-PW-100】 engine, let alone the subsequent reinforced versions of the F100.

After starting to build Base No. 1 in the real world, Sun Cheng began to use the Decepticons' copying ability in the 【Transformers Universe】 to get his hands on the advanced equipment and technologies of various countries on Earth that he had his eye on, and then packed them up and moved them back to the real world bit by bit.

And the United States of the other world, as the strongest military power on Earth in that world, also became the second victim after the Polar Bear.

Among them, the F-16 series of fighter jets, as the star product of US foreign exports, and because Sun Cheng also knew the fate between Xia Country and this fighter jet in reality, he had personally infiltrated Chile and Venezuela, two South American countries that had purchased F-16 fighter jets.

Although the fighter jets exported by the US military were all castrated versions, he did indeed have the relevant data and technology for the F-16 fighter jet.

The Decepticon Engineers even spent some time at Sun Cheng's request to carry out relevant modifications to the stolen F-16 fighter jets, and even two engineering aircraft for testing were built, one of which was dismantled into parts and brought back before he returned to reality this time.

Therefore, facing Captain Sun Long's questioning, his answer was also very affirmative.

"Please rest assured, because our country is also equipped with F-16 fighter jets, I have specifically inquired about it."

"The F100 Turbofan Engine sold in the 【P·C·F】 Mall is an improved version based on the US 【F100-PW-100】."

"It is said that it was initially part of the technology and data uploaded by a Chinese-American aviation expert who had participated in the design of this engine. Later, after years of collection, plus the continuous improvement and perfection by 【P·C·F】's own aviation experts, the product in the Mall today was created, and its performance is already on par with the 【F100-PW-229EEP】."

Upon hearing this, Sun Long frowned slightly, his face flushed as he shook his head: "Impossible, the 【F100-PW-229EEP】 can almost be said to be the cutting-edge product of US military aero-engines. The only things that can compete with it are the other two US military aero-engines 【F110-GE-129】 and 【F119-PW-100】. Even the Soviet Union's improved version of the AL31F is slightly inferior..."

The implication was that he simply did not believe his words.

Regarding this, Sun Cheng did not explain either.

He just grinned slightly, and his face showed no embarrassment or displeasure at being questioned.

Immediately, he looked at the other three people who were already learning from him in front of the light screens, clicking on several Mall products and looking at them with great interest.

The reception room was quiet for a few minutes, and Director Wang Yuan, who was responsible for the procurement of special equipment for the National Control Bureau and had not spoken yet, was the first to break the deadlock.

"General Manager Sun, I found that there is a 14nm-class EUV Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography Machine here. May I ask, are there higher 10nm, 7nm, or even 5nm-class products? If not, I would like to ask how this 14nm-class EUV Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography Machine is sold? Do you sell the technology directly? Or the finished product?"

PS:

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year, good health, success in your careers, a happy family, and may everything go as you wish.
