In 2003, in retaliation for Lockheed's 1998 U.S. Air Force "Improved Exposable Launcher Program" (eelv) tender, Boeing "illegally used documents and information obtained from Lockheed," resulting in the loss of the world's largest munitions
Lockheed Martin loses bid...
As a result, Lockheed lost nearly $40 billion in large contracts for military and civilian rockets over the next 20 years and the opportunity to lead in technology.
After Lockheed successfully sued, the U.S. Air Force revoked the billion-dollar contract originally awarded to Boeing in order to punish Boeing for its commercial espionage.
Relying on the strength of the world's largest civilian aircraft manufacturer and the third largest arms dealer in the United States, Boeing successfully settled the matter at only a fraction of the cost. Even after Lockheed filed a lawsuit that day, Boeing
The stock price fell slightly again, but it still rose $1.14 from the previous trading day to close at $34.31.
Frodo Lockheed smiled coldly at Boeing's invitation letter with ulterior motives.
But he knew the origin of the Faxx fighter very clearly. Lockheed's "Skunk" factory was also developing the same type of fighter jet.
Orders for America's sixth-generation main fighter jet are not so easy to grab.
For Lockheed Martin, which has the qualification to be the supplier of the fourth- and fifth-generation main fighter jets in the United States, this is a very obvious challenge.
The U.S. Navy has put forward requirements for the next generation of fighter jets. It must have the ability to cruise at high subsonic speeds and have a continuous flight time of up to 50 hours.
In order to meet the requirements of the Navy, Boeing's "Phantom" R&D factory has carefully crafted corresponding solutions to replace the FA18EF carrier-based fighter jets. It will fully meet the Navy's requirements and have a combat radius of 1,600 kilometers.
The drunkard's intention is not to drink. Of course Lockheed understands that they also want to steal orders for the follow-up models of the F35.
The faxx that is compatible with unmanned fighter jets must not be underestimated in terms of intelligence. It can be both manned and unmanned fighter jets with comprehensive combat capabilities.
It adopts a variable sweep wing design with a large airfoil, 5 times supersonic speed, wider stealth range, and even full-frequency omnidirectional stealth and multi-spectral stealth. It has comprehensive situational awareness capabilities and can be loaded with laser weapons, kinetic energy weapons and energy beams
Weapons, close to subspace vehicles, perhaps aerospace integration.
There are still many imaginable scopes of the faxx. However, even if the US Navy is selected and placed an order, the first faxx will not be fielded until at least 2020.
What is the purpose of Boeing taking out the prototype so early?
Although Frodo Lockheed guessed part of the reason, it was not all.
go!
why are you not going!
Old Lockheed didn't want to continue guessing until his brain cramped up. Since Boeing presented such a good opportunity, he couldn't let the other party's good intentions go to waste.
If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs.
Lockheed Martin adopts a hierarchical authorization processing management mechanism, and the documents that can reach the president's office are all very important documents.
Then several important documents were processed. A piece of news that came into view was an unexpected surprise for Lockheed.
The news came from Carter Johnson, the director of "Lab 41."
This "Laboratory 41" is just a code name. It does not mean that there are 40 laboratories in front of it. It is a secret high-tech research institute belonging to Lockheed. It specializes in developing high-tech equipment and even future technology for Lockheed Martin.
The company provides solid technology accumulation.
Lockheed's founding and becoming the world's largest arms dealer has a great relationship with this "Laboratory 41".
To this end, Lockheed secretly invests billions of dollars in research and development funding every year, and its daily consumption is no less than that of a fighting army.
Some time ago, the "Poseidon" mobile armor sent by Lockheed to cause trouble in Paris came from this "Laboratory 41".
According to the report of Director Carter Johnson, "Laboratory 41" obtained an alloy with strange properties during an accident in a metal material experiment. It has excellent ductility and excellent semiconductor properties.
The accident rate in the laboratory is astronomical, but no matter whether the experimental items are successful or not, they will not be discarded or destroyed at will. Each experimental item will be carefully and detailedly identified after completing the experiment.
It is this good management system that allows "Laboratory 41" to miss out on many amazing technologies.
If the properties of this alloy were just like this, there would be no need to report it to the president's office.
After technical appraisal, the experimenters were surprised to find that if this unexpected alloy is used to make processor chips, the performance can be greatly improved, far exceeding the existing diamond chips and gallium arsenide single crystal chips.
Material.
The stable operating temperature of this alloy chip can reach 1800 degrees Celsius, which directly breaks the current record of high-temperature chips. It can operate normally even in ordinary flames, and there is no need to consider heat dissipation at all.
This is simply the best base material for space chips made for the universe.
The yield rate of chips manufactured using this as a single wafer is surprisingly high, and can reach 100% zero scrap and zero defects. Experts in this field cannot explain why there is such a high yield rate.
As long as it is given other metals, as if it is alive, this alloy can automatically and slowly fuse and swallow other metals, steel, steel, tungsten, aluminum, titanium, even uranium and plutonium, as long as they are metals, they will not reject them.
, all are eventually assimilated into an alloy material with exactly the same properties as the original body.
What really makes Frodo Lockheed feel incredible is that this alloy actually has the property of swallowing, assimilating and multiplying.
Although the conversion rate is not high, only one ton of metal is converted into one gram. After all, it is a real devouring, assimilation and proliferation. As for where so much volume and mass of metal is converted, it is still a mystery.
According to the analysis of metal materials experts and physics experts, perhaps this phagocytosis and assimilation reaction is based on the change of atomic weight, and the lost mass may be lost as some kind of strange energy.
Because of this characteristic of phagocytosis, assimilation and proliferation, the laboratory does not need to spend any effort to re-deduce the synthesis process.
In fact, those experimenters have repeated the experiment thousands of times and have never been able to create an alloy with the same properties. This can only be attributed to coincidence, an accidental masterpiece of God's hand.
Many great inventions are derived from this inadvertent accident, such as vulcanized rubber, light filaments, periodic table of elements, penicillin, microwave ovens, pacemakers, potato chips, x-rays, rubber, sandwiches, Archimedes' law,
Gravity and other major inventions that are familiar to the world.
As long as you continue to provide a large amount of various metals, you will continuously obtain magical alloys, just like agricultural cultivation, like biological culture media to obtain more finished products.
Regrettably, with the existing technology and equipment, "Laboratory 41" is still unable to identify the specific composition of this alloy, nor can it identify the atomic weight and molecular structure.
Because of its swallowing and assimilation properties, the composition purity of this alloy has almost reached 100% purity, which only exists in scientific theory.
Perhaps because of this, this alloy has such a high chip yield rate. It is simply a perfect chip material, and there is no need to consider any compromise technology such as expanding the diameter of the chip.
"Laboratory 41" specially gave this magical alloy a codename: Fenrir (fenrir).
), maybe it is just like Fenrir, the giant wolf in Nordic mythology who devoured the sun and moon, devoured everything in the world, and created Ragnarok. The limit of devouring has not yet been determined, and it may be endless.
Old Lockheed's heart immediately became hot, and his sharp mind immediately realized its huge value. It was simply a treasure, and an endless treasure.
For Lockheed, this alloy is simply the throne for them to enter the computer industry. Qualcomm, Intel, AMD and Via have to step aside.
stand.
Perhaps because of this special alloy, Lockheed has suddenly become the most powerful processor manufacturer in the world. Not only the civilian, military, and even the aerospace industry will cry out to support him.
A chip substrate with such excellent performance is simply a living money printing factory.
"Establish the project team 'Fenrir' to conduct a more comprehensive technical verification of the 'Fenrir' alloy. The 'Laboratory 41' will issue a research and development budget and try a plan for industrialized mass production..."
"
The excited Frodo Lockheed swept away the depression from the previous conversation with the FBI investigation team, and immediately added his own review to the report from Director Carter Johnson of "Laboratory 41"
opinions, and the confidentiality level and importance level of this document have been modified, all adjusted to the highest level.
"Annie! Inform Vice President Harris to come to my place!" Frodo Lockheed rolled his eyes and pressed the communicator on the table to send a message to Secretary Anne Ai who was working outside the door.
Bert.
Old Lockheed felt that it was necessary to have a serious discussion with his son about the place that only shouted "Allah, Haqba!"
"Lin Mo, don't worry about the 'Abyss Nirvana', it's not something you can touch..."
Lin Mo held his watch and cell phone with a bitter look on his face and listened to the nagging of his teacher, Professor Yan Guoqiang.
