He smiled in surprise and said, "Old Wo, you did a good job."
"I didn't expect that you could improve so much after modifying and adjusting my original drawings."
Walker said awkwardly, "Boss, I'm so sorry. I made changes without your permission."
Bao Junyi waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I gave you the drawings because I trust you."
"Moreover, I am very satisfied with the results handed to me this time, as well as the new fighter jets created by the relevant teams."
"By the way, what about the avionics radar?"
Walker breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Boss, regarding radar, we've adopted the group's latest AN/APG-74 multi-mode digital fire control radar, which can track ten targets simultaneously and display eight targets to the pilot."
"Moreover, in terms of aircraft guns, we have specifically developed a 20mm M62A1 six-barrel aircraft gun with 580 rounds of ammunition."
"As for the mount, it has nine external hardpoints, which can carry AIM-7, AIM-9, AIM-120 air-to-air missiles, as well as AGM-84, AGM-88, AGM-65F and Slam air-to-ground missiles. It can also carry aerial guided bombs and cluster bombs, with a maximum external load of 8,828 kg."
Bao Junyi had a constant smile on his face as he carefully looked at the fighter plane and the internal equipment related to the visitors. After all, he was the chief engineer of Lockheed Martin Corporation in the United States in his previous life, so he could probably understand all these after just a few glances.
He patted Walker on the shoulder and said, "Very good. Your R&D department will definitely receive bonuses and year-end bonuses this time."
"Also, Miracle Group is considering acquiring some good land on the top of Victoria Peak to build villas or high-end residences as rewards for you."
Walker said excitedly: "Boss, thank you so much."
"After all, my family is here now, and it would be great if I could have a better place to live."
Bao Junyi said with a smile: "Old Wo, thank you for your hard work."
"If Miracle Aviation Manufacturing has any needs, just tell me directly. We don't need to go through approval."
Walker was pleasantly surprised and said, "Boss, that's great."
"I was worried about rare metals before, and I didn't know how to solve it."
Bao Junyi frowned and asked doubtfully, "Doesn't the group have a special department responsible for purchasing rare metals?"
"What's the situation now? Why can't the demand be met?"
Walker smiled bitterly and said, "Boss, the purchasing department has done its best."
"Because the types of metals we need are relatively scarce internationally."
Bao Junyi asked curiously, "What rare metals are in short supply now?"
"Boss, we're currently short of indium, gallium, molybdenum, cobalt, and high-quality rare earth metals."
"Moreover, these rare metals are very expensive internationally. Rare earths are even more expensive than gold, costing tens of dollars per gram."
"Besides, there's still a lack of demand. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it. Most of it is in the hands of the United States and the Bear Country."
Bao Junyi frowned, thought for a while, and then said, "I'll find a way to get it for you, just follow your plan.
"If you need anything, just come to my office and see me."
"Okay, Boss."
Bao Junyi spent the entire morning in the factory, inspecting every aspect in detail and watching the testing of the F-18 production fighter jet.
In the end, what surprised him was that the speed actually reached Mach 1.9, and there were several Mach rings at the tail of the fighter.
Bao Junyi left the factory and returned to the headquarters office.
He fell into deep thought. Rare metals such as indium, gallium, molybdenum and cobalt could be purchased from the Bear Country. It didn't matter if the price was a bit higher.
It seems that only mainland China has high-quality rare earths now, and the quality in other places is uneven.
However, the rare earth cake in the mainland is too big for one person to eat it all. After all, there are pressures and networks behind it. It is possible that the meal you just prepared may be taken away by others and eaten ready-made.
Moreover, they are still using your pots, pans, and utensils, but the owner has changed, and nothing else has changed.
"Ding...ling."
When Bao Junyi was worrying, the desk phone rang.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Ayi, I'm Henry Fok."
Bao Junyi asked in surprise: "Uncle Huo, what happened?"
Huo Yingdong said angrily: "You kid, why do you come up to me and ask me about my business?"
"Forget it. Someone does need you for something. We can't do anything about it. It seems you're the only one left."
Bao Junyi asked curiously, "Uncle Huo, what's going on?"
"Ayi, there are people from the mainland, and they want to meet you, so let me be the middleman."
"Also, there are too many spies around your Miracle Group and it's not convenient for them. They want to meet with you to talk."
Bao Junyi nodded and said, "Then, Uncle Huo, let's meet at your place."
"This way we can conceal our tracks and feel more at ease."
Huo Yingdong said with a smile: "Ayi, no problem."
"Then how long do you plan to come so I can make an appointment with them."
"Uncle Huo, let's do it this afternoon. I'll be there later."
"At the same time, I have something to discuss with you. See if you're interested."
Huo Yingdong said seriously: "Okay, Ah Yi, then I will ask them out."
"As for what to talk about, it's not too late to talk about it after you finish dealing with it first."
"Okay then!"
