Chapter 389: I know everything about you

"We also accidentally solved the technology of mass production of this fiber." Xiao Weihao interjected slowly, his face with some inscrutable smiles, making people feel at first glance that he was telling lies.
In fact, to be strictly speaking, China's ability to solve the mass production technology of high-strength and high-modulus polyethylene fibers is indeed accidental. From Qin Hai's technical know-how to Yu Lihong and others, to the final realization of industrial production, in less than half a year, compared with several large companies in Europe and the United States who have spent more than a dozen years developing, it can only be considered an accident.
However, such words cannot be convinced by McCannes and Setzler. Coupled with Xiao Weihao's expression, one can only think in the opposite direction. And once it begins to doubt the origin of this technology, the United States will imagine how big a scientific research system has been established by China and how much time and money it has spent to solve this technical problem, which in turn means that China's scientific research strength It is unfathomable.
Xiao Weihao wanted to make the impression of McCanness and others. One of the responsibilities of the security department is to carry out strategic flickering so that opponents can't figure out their true strength.
"Mr. McCannes, if this bulletproof jacket is really made of high-strength, high-modulus polyethylene fibers, then its protective performance will indeed be much stronger than Kevlar. As for whether it can reach 2.5 times, it needs to be tested in practice. know."
Setzler no longer entangles how China solves this technical problem, but instead turns to a technical evaluation of this new product. Relevant technical indicators of high-strength and high-modulus fibers. He has studied in the past, and also envisaged the problem of using this fiber to make protective equipment, just because the yield of this fiber is too low. The price was too expensive for his idea to be implemented.
"We need to test the body armor. Can you provide corresponding samples?" McCanness nodded and asked Liang Rongjian.
"Yes, in addition to this one you have, we can also provide 2 more body armors for your actual testing." Liang Rongjian replied.
McCannes added: "The price of your body armor is also our concern. You should know that our army is currently equipped with Kevlar body armor. It can provide sufficient protection for our soldiers, and The price is very low. If your body armor price is higher than Kevlar body armor, we will basically not consider purchasing. "
"Mr. McCanness believes that your current body armor performance is sufficient to meet the needs of the battlefield?" Xiao Weihao said with a smile, "According to the information we have. The Kevlar body armor currently used by your army is in anti-fragment. Injury performance is poor, and it is difficult to defend against high-speed fragments less than one gram. Due to insufficient cutting resistance of fibers, sharp-edged fragments often cut through bulletproof clothing and cause damage to soldiers' skin. "
"This situation you said ... Of course it happens occasionally." McCanness's face was a bit ugly, and he felt uncomfortable after being spanked after loading the fork.
"Also, in terms of protection against direct projectile damage, the transient deformation of the bomber using a 6-layer Kevlar body armor exceeds 40 mm, which will cause soldiers to suffer severe non-penetrative damage. If this index is to be reduced to At 20 millimeters, more than 11 layers of fabric must be used. It will more than double the weight of the body armor, thereby losing the soldier's battlefield mobility ... am I right? "Xiao Weihao continued to talk.
These materials were collected by Xia Yangjie from various foreign documents when developing bulletproof vests, and did not involve the secrets of the Chinese side. In fact. Xiao Weihao knows more about Kevlar's body armor than this, but some information is limited to the security department's internal grasp, and he will not leak it on this occasion. However, just such public information is enough to defeat McCanness.
"Obviously, Mr. Xiao knows very well the bulletproof vests we currently use. Then we might as well say frankly. What kind of protective performance can your bulletproof vests achieve, and what kind of price do you want to sell." McCanness Shrugged. Helplessly said.
No one knows more about the real situation of the body armor of the US military than McCanness. In the just ended Gulf War, the body armor of the US military has withstood the test of the battlefield, not only showing the necessity of the equipment, but also exposing the presence of bulletproof Disadvantage of clothing. Within two months of the end of the war, the application for replacement of the new generation of body armor by the troops flies to the Equipment Command like a snow flake. The body armor manufacturers also heard the wind and sent a variety of new products, but there was indeed a lack of A masterpiece that made McCanness shine.
This time I heard that Chinese companies came to sell bulletproof vests. McCanness also came to meet them with a mentality of being a dead horse. Unexpectedly, what the Chinese company brought out was actually a revolutionary new product, which could not help McCanness.
He had originally intended to act indifferently, forcing the Chinese to lower the sales price. Who knew that the Chinese side had already done their homework and made the US military's point clear. In this case, what confidence does he have to bargain with China.
At this moment, McCanness had a thought in his mind: Those journalists and scholars who leaked the secrets of the U.S. military are really bloody.
"We have performance data on this new type of body armor, Mr. McCartney will know at a glance." Liang Rongjian passed a stack of information, and then said: "You can re-test these properties, we are willing to wait for you The test results. As for the price, we take the Kevlar body armor as a reference. Its price is $ 350. Our new body armor is $ 520 and the helmet is $ 170. "
"Um ..." McCanness stopped speaking, and looked down at the information that Liang Rongjian gave him. Such a quotation is within the psychological range he can accept. As for pretending to refuse to accept the price in an angry manner, such a trick is a shame in front of experts.
"We have left the materials and samples. We will contact you after we have tested." After McCanness turned the last page, he put the materials on the coffee table around him and told Liang Rongjian.
Liang Rongjian said: "Okay, we will be staying at the Gwinnett Hotel in Washington these days. Please let me know if you have any results. However, we are afraid we cannot stay in the United States for too long, so ..."
"Rest assured, I think we will come up with the results as soon as possible without delaying your trip in the United States." McCanness said with a smile.
The host and the host stood up and shake hands to say goodbye. McCanness and his two attendants kept Liang Rongjian and others out of the gate and watched them get in a taxi before returning to the office. Setzler chased McCanness eagerly and said, "Mr McCannis, if what they say is true, I think we should purchase their body armor."
"Why?" McCanness asked knowingly.
"According to my research on high-strength and high-modulus polyethylene fibers, fabrics made with this fiber have a toughness that is more than 2 times higher than Kevlar fibers and a cut-resistant performance that is more than 3 times higher, which can reduce fragment damage by 50% or more. Many. I think such a body armor can meet the requirements of those soldiers. "Setzler said.
"The most important thing is that their price is cheaper than Kevlar body armor." Another attendant named Calver added that when Liang Rongjian offered to McCannes just now, he said nothing, but in fact he was in his heart. Laughed secretly.
Xiao Weihao The Kevlar body armor they bought from the United States is a publicly sold product on the US market, and the price is indeed $ 350. However, the price of body armor directly ordered by the United States from the manufacturer is nearly double that of the market, reaching as much as $ 620.
It is not uncommon for large-scale purchases to be more expensive than retail prices. According to the supplier's explanation, the military bulletproof clothing is very different from the retail version in terms of style making, which strengthens the protection requirements of certain parts. It also needs to add several tactical pockets, hanging buckles and other components, thereby increasing the overall cost. Of course, understand that people know these are excuses, collusion inside and outside, up and down their hands, is the real reason for the abnormally high prices of these body armor.
Although Xiao Weihao was doing security work, he didn't know the secret, otherwise they could report a higher price on this trip.
"The Ministry of National Defense hopes to improve relations with China. If we can order bulletproof vests from China ~ EbookFREE.me ~, it will undoubtedly send a signal of reconciliation to China. I believe they will accept this kindness. . Our biggest enemy now is silly big wood. It is not necessary to be hostile to China. "McCanness is indeed deputy director, and his words are more politically advanced than the two assistants.
"We see." Setzler and Calver echoed in unison. "We will immediately arrange performance tests on these body armors and perform accounting calculations in order to give China a reply as soon as possible."
"In terms of price, it is acceptable as long as it does not exceed Kevlar body armor, or slightly more than 10%. The key is that the design of these body armor must meet the requirements of our army." McCannes explained to Culver.
Culver understood: "Yes, I have noticed that many of the bulletproof vests they designed do not meet the requirements of our army, and we will put these requirements in detail to the other party."
Modifying the design naturally means higher costs. The current Chinese offer is 520 US dollars. The leader said that it can be raised to 620 US dollars, or even more than 10%, which is indifferent. As for the difference between them ... everyone understands.
Culver thought of a smile on his face. (To be continued)
