Chapter 388: Old friend

United States Army Equipment Command, Alexandria, Virginia, USA.
A pretty U.S. military officer with two uniforms strode along the corridor to the door of the reception room. The soldier standing by the door pushed the door of the reception room in time and invited the officer. Gesture. The officer nodded slightly, then went into the reception room.
On the sofa in the reception room, there were six Chinese people, namely Liang Rongjian, Luo Kaimeng, Xiao Weihao, and Qin Hai, Ning Mo, and Yu Haitao. The first three are representatives of the 70x sent to the United States to sell new body armor, Qin Hai and the other three basically came to see the lively. Originally, Xu Guoquan only hoped that Qin Hai could accompany Liang Rongjian and his party to the United States in order to answer some technical questions at any time. However, Qin Hai said that his younger brothers Ning Mo and Yu Haitao were both interested in the American soldiers and wanted to follow the excitement, but Xu Guoquan had no choice but to agree.
Regarding the issue of selling new body armor to the U.S. military, the CST has hesitated slightly, but couldn't hold back Xu Guoquan's repeated plea on the phone, and ultimately he could only agree. As Xu Guoquan himself analyzed, this new body armor is not a product included in the military's research scope, and it is difficult to define its classification. Taking into account that 70x is indeed difficult to finance, eagerly waiting for the money to buy rice and pan, the leaders of the Committee of Science and Technology will be happy to play deaf and allow Xu Guoquan to act cheaply.
After confirming that this business could be done, Xu Guoquan immediately arranged for Liang Rongjian, Luo Kaimeng, and Xiao Weihao to travel to the United States on behalf of 70x. In fact. When they came from Tongjiang Province, they had already made such arrangements, otherwise they would not have brought a translator to Jintang.
Because the development and production of bulletproof vests are all done on the Qin Hai side. Xu Guoquan asked Qin Hai to arrange for a technician to go to the United States with Liang Rongjian and his party. What he never expected was that Qin Hai actually proposed to go out in person. In this regard, Xu Guoquan was naturally welcomed with both hands. Qin Hai was able to earn hundreds of millions of net worth at such a young age. He must be a business genius and able to get Qin Hai into action. The success of this trip has doubled again.
The condition that Qin Hai promised to go to the United States with Liang Rongjian and others was to bring Ning Mo and Yu Haitao. Of course, Xu Guoquan would not refuse this, anyway, Qin Hai said. He and Ning and Yu both travel at their own expense and do not need to bear 70x. What reason is there for Xu Guoquan to oppose?
The group flew in Pujiang and flew directly to New York. Then he turned to Alexandria. Xiao Weihao and Liang Rongjian were responsible for the liaison with the United States. Although Qin Hai was quite capable, he could not do such a thing between the military.
After some setbacks, they finally got permission from the US Army Equipment Command to go to the headquarters to discuss the sale of body armor. After sitting in the reception room of Army Equipment Command for a few minutes, the Lord finally arrived.
"Mr. McCanness, we meet again."
See the American officer enter the door. Liang Rongjian froze for a moment, then stood up and walked towards the man. Greetings in English at the same time.
The U.S. military officer was McCanness, the deputy director of the Second Division of Army Equipment Command. He was notified the day before that a Chinese company was visiting today to promote the new body armor produced by them and he was responsible for receiving it. He did not expect that the sales representatives of Chinese companies actually have his acquaintances.
Liang Rongjian and McCanness not only met before. And they are good friends. This is a long story and goes back to the so-called "model of peace" in the 1980s. After China and the United States established diplomatic relations in 1979. There was a period of "honeymoon" between the two countries. In order to deal with the common enemy, the Soviet Union, the United States launched a number of military cooperation with China, including the provision of some advanced military equipment to China, which was then called a model of peace.
As a member of the military scientific research system, Liang Rongjian was sent to the United States for a year of study at that time. At that time, McCannes was the person in charge of the United States and had a long relationship with Liang Rongjian. Quite close. This time, Xu Guoquan arranged Liang Rongjian as the person in charge of sales to the United States, and he also liked his experience of studying in the United States.
At the end of the 1980s, Sino-U.S. Relations broke down, and the model peace plan naturally ended without any problems. After that, Liang Rongjian never heard of McCanness again. Who would have thought that they would meet again on such an occasion.
Hearing Liang Rongjian's greetings, and then looked at each other's face carefully, McCanness laughed, walked forward, and gave Liang Rongjian a bear hug.
"Oh, Mr. Liang, I'm so glad to meet you," McCanness said unabashedly.
Americans do not have so many concerns about political correctness. Speaking of which, the fashion of Sino-US relations is on the eve of icebreaking, and there are still some taboos between each other. McCanness was able to treat Liang Rongjian with such enthusiasm, which made Qin Hai, Xiao Weihao and others' eyes bright.
"Mr. Liang, are you not wearing a military uniform? Is there any reason?" McCanness greeted Liang Rongjian to sit down, and then sat on the opposite sofa and asked Liang Rongjian.
"I'm no longer in the military world." Liang Rongjian responded with a smile.
"Really?" McCanness looked at Liang Rongjian, a flash of laughter in his eyes.
Liang Rongjian nodded earnestly, saying, "I have left the military world, and now I am a sales representative of China Qilin Company, and made a special trip to the United States to do business."
To sell bulletproof clothing to the United States, of course, the name of 70x cannot be used, because the relationship between the two parties is still a bit strained, and it is too sensitive to directly conduct transactions between the military. Liang Rongjian came this time in the name of a company called Qilin. This "Qin Lin" is actually a homonym of 70 in the 70x institute, and this company was set up temporarily one day before Liang Rongjian left Jintang. Even the industrial and commercial registration process was completely omitted, and it was a complete leather bag the company.
McCanness was a smart man. He had a lot of dealings with the Chinese side and knew some of the rules of the Chinese side. Liang Rongjian said that he has left the military. What is the sales staff of Qilin Company? McCannes knows very well that he is just a cover for people. Even if someone like Liang Rongjian really took off his military status, secretly It is certainly inextricably linked to the military.
"I heard that you have developed a new type of body armor, is there anything special?" McCanness no longer asked Liang Rongjian's identity, but went directly to the topic of today's talks.
"We made a new type of bulletproof jacket using a new type of fiber that is different from Kevlar. Theoretically, its protective capacity is 2.5 times that of Kevlar. We also developed a new fiber based on this new type of fiber. Military helmet. "Liang Rongjian replied according to the caliber that he had discussed with Qin Hai along the way.
McCanness asked, "Did you bring samples?"
"Bring it." Qin Hai got up, took a backpack, pulled out a bulletproof vest and a helmet from it, and handed it to Liang Rongjian. After Liang Rongjian took over, he changed hands and gave it to McCanness.
"Such a thin body armor?" McCanness took the body armor and helmet with a stun in his heart. From the appearance, he can see that this body armor is lighter and thinner than Kevlar's body armor. Even if the protective performance is similar, its technical level is higher than that of Kevlar's body armor. In his mind, the equipment level of the Chinese team is far behind that of the U.S. military. It was unexpected that the Chinese came to the forefront in the field of body armor.
After looking at it for a while, he handed the two pieces of equipment to the two attendants who had just come in with him and asked them to study it. The two entourages looked left and right while holding the body armor and helmet, and their faces gradually became dignified.
"What kind of fiber do you use, can you tell me?" One of the followers studied Liang Rongjian after researching for a while.
"Hshmpe." Six letters popped out of Qin Hai's mouth.
"High-strength, high-modulus polyethylene?" The follower directly reported the full name of the English abbreviation. Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene can also be called high-strength high-modulus polyethylene. This material has been available since the 1970s, but it has not yet achieved industrial production. Some people in the United States are also studying the industrial production of this material, so the man under McCanness knows about it.
"Mr. Setzler specializes in high-strength fibers. He has a deep research on Kevlar fibers." McCanness pointed to his follower and introduced Liang Rongjian and others.
"Dear sir ~ EbookFREE.me ~ As far as I know, high-strength and high-modulus polyethylene fibers cannot yet be produced industrially. If your body armor is made of this fiber, can you guarantee sufficient output?" Setz Le asked bluntly.
Qin Hai smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Setzler, what you know is outdated. In fact, we have achieved mass production of high-strength high-modulus polyethylene. If you need it, we can guarantee that it will provide no less than 5 per month. Thousands of these new body armor. "
"Mass production? How did you do it?" Setzler was a little surprised. He knew the difficulty of this technology, and he hadn't heard of any accumulation in China before. Why did the Chinese all of a sudden claim? What about mass production technology?
Qin Hai laughed without saying a word. Setzler's question was too outrageous. Who would easily reveal the core technology?
", ..." Setzler also responded, knowing that he had asked a question that should not be asked, and he explained: "Sir, please don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to understand your technical secrets, just wondering when you are Beginning research on this fiber, as far as I know, the Dutch companies that were the first to obtain patents for high-strength and high-modulus polyethylene fibers could not achieve large-scale production. Otherwise, this fiber should have been used in the manufacture of bullet-proof jackets. " (To be continued)
