Chapter 318: auctions

With the bewitching tone of the black market auctioneer and the full introduction of the performance of each part of the weapon on the large screen behind it, the auction venue began to boil. This underground weapon black market is really extraordinary. The first lot is enough to attract attention.
As we all know, this type of b0 tornado multiple rocket launcher is not exported, and it is difficult to see on the market. And this underground black market is only 5 units. This makes people have to admire their supply channels, which is also one of the advantages of the underground black market. They can always get something that they can't normally get.
Yelena frowned, "They can't get these arms directly from Russia, they should get them from Ukrainian military industry. This stuff is in short supply and cannot be obtained on the regular market."
At the scene, some people have started to raise prices, and the price of this rocket has soared from more than 30 million to nearly 50 million.
The black market auctioneer said with excitement, "Everyone, the price is close to 50 million. Who else wants to increase the price? This is a real tornado. It is the longest range of artillery weapons installed in the world. The most powerful and the highest precision. The most advanced multi-barrel self-propelled rocket launcher.
So far, the Russian Defense Export Company has only exported some of these long-range weapons systems to Algeria and Kuwait. The opportunity is rare, and the seller can also provide corresponding operation training. It can quickly form combat power in a month at most. "
His agitation finally paid off, and a Middle Eastern high-profile man wearing an Arab headscarf got up and threw 50 million. Put this tornado system into the bag. The auctioneer knocked the hammer and said with a smile, "This first round of auction is really enough. I almost smell the gunpowder of the price war. But I promise it's just an appetizer. Please look at the screen for the second lot. "
The screen behind him lit up several pictures, which looked like some kind of guided missile car. The buyers whispered for a while, not knowing what they were communicating. Lin Rui didn't have much research on large-scale weapon systems, nor did he see what it was. Even Yelena looked a little confused.
The auction host smiled and said, "You may know that German tank technology is the best. But you should also know that Germany is the pioneer of real missile technology. And what you see now is a ground-to-air missile system with Germanic origin. The famous Roland missile.
Although it is not the latest technology, German engineering is the guarantee of quality. Up to now, 15 countries including Germany, France and the United States have 20,500 missiles of the system 520 sets. The real backbone of air defense missiles. This time we are selling two systems and 100 missiles. The price is very favorable, the reserve price is only 27 million. "
As soon as he finished saying this, another group of people were talking quietly. Although this surface-to-air missile defense system is not outstanding, the price is really attractive. Soon someone started bidding with placards.
Lin Rui whispered, "They really have everything. They even sell surface-to-air missiles. And it seems that the price is very low."
"Perhaps because the sellers behind them are also owned by everyone. I remember that during the Iran-Iraq War, Iraq also used Roland 2. This set of anti-aircraft missiles is very marketable in the Middle East, and maybe it came from there." Yelena whispered. Tao.
The bidding at auctions came one after another, and soon this missile system was also sold at a very high price. Then the auction launched a variety of weapons and equipment, from batches of light weapons to large-scale weapons, everything, and many models.
After a period of time, the auctioneer announced a ten-minute break and then continued.
Yelena frowned, "Should we stare at the auctioneer, maybe he will know the sellers. We take this opportunity to get some information from his mouth."
Lin Rui shook his head, "He is just an ordinary commentator. He may have a good understanding of the weapons to be auctioned, but he may not know much about the sellers. For this type of auction, confidentiality must be the first priority. An auctioneer does not. Maybe we understand the inside story. If we act rashly, it will only be bad, so we still wait and see."
Yelena nodded and waited ten minutes later that the auction would continue to the end.
The black market auctioneer drank a sip of water and said, "I think everyone is looking forward to the last star in our auction. A mysterious drone wreckage, which belongs to the next generation of drone technology. Gentlemen. , Everything we saw before is only the past and the present, and the technology of this drone represents the future, and even the development direction of drones within the next ten years."
What appeared on the screen behind him was not a real thing, but a set of drone models. But this has aroused everyone's curiosity even more.
The black market auctioneer slowly said, "This is the future direction of war, satellite positioning, remote control flight, more advanced fire control missile technology and more accurate and effective strikes. Although it is just a wreck, the technology contained in it is unparalleled. . Especially this is a prototype for testing. It contains a variety of technical information and data, which is even valuable enough for a country."
"But this drone, no matter how advanced it is, is just a test product. We have not experienced the battlefield test, how can we be sure whether the technology of this drone is really practical?" someone in the crowd asked.
"You may not understand the significance of this. Once this technology is successfully imitated, it means how much profit it will be. What a huge profit market this will be. Even if you resell these technologies, it will There are many countries that have a need for this. Remember, technology is combat power." The black market host slowly said. "The wreckage of UAV Zero, and the test data in the core components and the black box. The reserve price is 60 million."
Amidst the "60 million" crowd, there was a burst of exclamation.
"Just the wreckage will sell for 60 million," some people questioned.
The black market auctioneer smiled and said, "Technology monopoly is wealth monopoly. I think you should be very clear about this concept. In all fairness, this price is not only not high, but very affordable. I think you should be very clear about this with your vision. So welcome. Bidding."
Unexpectedly, the wreckage of the drone did not arouse much enthusiastic response from buyers. Even the bidding scene was a little cold. One is because these buyers are more willing to invest in mature weapon technology, but are not interested in this new type of technology with an uncertain future. Secondly, this is a wreckage after all. Buyers have no idea how much useful technology and data can be extracted from it. So the sentiment leading to auction bidding is not high.
