Doomsday Super Merchant

Chapter 337 Lao Er, you are going to be in bad luck!

Indeed, as Zhou Yuanqiang saw, there is no satellite category on the online arms shopping platform.

Unwilling to give up, he searched for weapons again and entered the word "satellite" to search. Not to mention, this keyword actually showed several pieces of information in this regard. But when he clicked to view it,

, Zhou Yuanqiang's face turned green again, because the satellites in these messages were not military satellites at all, but just a few receivers related to the satellites.

"Such a huge online shopping platform doesn't have military satellites. Are you kidding me?"

Zhou Yuanqiang thought hard: "Why don't the so-called righteous people come and hack this online shopping platform? With their all-pervasive ability, they still have no way to find out the location of this online shopping platform?" Thinking that the world is full of crows.

Banhei, if there is no underground arms platform, how can politicians and military officers from various countries embezzle and accept bribes?

After touching his chin and thinking for a while, Zhou Yuanqiang laughed again when he saw the small and floating customer service on the right. After opening it, a dialog box popped up: "Customer service number 003 is at your service!"

"Don't you have any military satellites for sale here?"

Customer Service No. 003: "The target of military satellites is too large. Generally, governments of various countries will only produce them when they have special orders. If there is no surplus product, it will rarely flow into arms transactions. I'm extremely sorry, but the Middle East platform currently does not include relevant military satellites.

Information. You can publish your purchase information through the purchase platform.”

After seeing the answer from customer service number 003, Zhou Yuanqiang thought about it and found that it seemed to be the same.

Take the United States, which is the most developed economically and militarily in the world. In the past few decades, it has only launched a total of sixty or seventy satellites. On average, only one satellite is launched a year. In this case, they

If we don’t keep a close eye on them, how could there be any excess left on the black market?

Military satellites are big things. Unlike cats and dogs, they are swallowed up casually and sold privately to black market arms dealers. Strict records and special management departments are kept to record everything, minimizing the possibility of mistakes.

.In this case, it is really difficult to let it leak out. The dignitaries and military officers are not crazy enough yet.

In addition to the old and American ones, there are also quite a few satellites like Russia, but they are past glory. Zhou Yuanqiang is not even interested in satellites from the 1970s and 1980s.

Other countries are even more pitiful. There are a dozen or a few satellites that were obtained by selling iron and had been launched into the sky long ago before it was their turn.

"The transitional government of Somalia is unsatisfactory, extremely poor, and has the shadow of Western European countries. Otherwise, it would not be so troublesome to order a few military satellites from the United Kingdom and the United States and other countries in the name of Somalia. And there will be no trouble,

They still have technical support, and you can buy it on the black market like this, so you can just tinker with it yourself. Isn’t this making people look at things blindly?”

Zhou Yuanqiang hated that iron could not become steel, but he had no choice but to do so.

Thinking of the purchasing platform mentioned by the customer service, Zhou Yuanqiang searched for it on the webpage and finally found this function.

The purchasing platform is somewhat similar to a forum. When buyers are in need, they will post a purchasing post here. The administrator will automatically confirm the type of weapon requested in the post and send it to the website related to the purchased weapon.

In the hands of merchants. In addition, merchants can also enter the purchase platform, view purchase information, and negotiate with purchasers themselves.

However, in order to comply with the methods of the black market, Yan Guo's hair-plucking characteristics require a fixed handling fee for posting purchase posts. Even if you want to buy a small pistol, the handling fee is the same as buying an aircraft carrier. It can be said... black words,

That's how it was made.

"Damn it, why doesn't he set up a business to charge money for checking information?"

On other people's property, Zhou Yuanqiang could only lower his head and muttered: "Don't they know the concept that customers are God? Why do they always ask customers to pay for it?"

Complaints are complaints, at least the rules have been set. Think about the people who come here to buy things, who has a huge amount of wealth? If you don't kill this kind of people, who will be killed? What's more, for those who don't have thousands of dollars,

A transaction worth tens or hundreds of millions of dollars, this small amount of money is indeed not something that some big guys would take seriously. Take some forces in Somalia as an example, pretending to be pirates, seizing a few sea ships, and looting a few cruise ships, they will get... money

I'll feel cramps in my hands.

Zhou Yuanqiang took a look and found that there were not many purchase information. There was only one post today.

I clicked on it and took a look. It was a purchase message from an arms collector who wanted to buy a German coastal Type II submarine from the Second World War.

To be honest, it is indeed very rare to see such a submarine that is too old and has a very small production volume. In addition, it has experienced a series of turmoils of defeat and destruction for nearly seventy years, and the ones that have been preserved are indeed

It is described as rare. And the price offered by the other party reached three million US dollars, which is indeed crazy enough.

"It's just rarity that makes it valuable for collection, right?"

Shaking his head and closing the purchase information, Zhou Yuanqiang checked the actual purchase posts again. Some indicated that the transaction had been completed, and some were still retained. It seemed that no one had completed the purchase. These purchase information varied, but most of them were

Weapons that are relatively unconventional and have great collection value.

Zhou Yuanqiang looked through it and found no purchase requests for satellites.

In Zhou Yuanqiang's view, countries in Africa and the Middle East are fighting to the death, with no winner or loser. If you get a few spy satellites, take pictures of them left and right, and even take pictures of the opponent's underwear, you will still be afraid of war.

Are you still afraid of the opponent's so-called tactics? With the development of satellites, it is speculated that military spy satellites can even clearly capture the text of newspapers in people's hands.

This level of reconnaissance methods and all tactics will probably be analyzed by others and become naked.

However, African countries would rather spend tens or hundreds of millions on arms than purchase these. On the one hand, they do not have this awareness, but more importantly, these types of military satellites have always been not for sale by various countries.

If you want to get it, it will be difficult to reach the sky.

Zhou Yuanqiang opened a new post, paid a purchase fee of US$100,000, and posted purchase information about military satellites.

After posting the post, all he can do is wait. Zhou Yuanqiang believes that since the merchants here have people online 24 hours a day, someone will soon discover this purchase information. But if someone has such goods in hand, just

It's hard to say.

It was impossible for someone to come to the door right away, so Zhou Yuanqiang started shopping with interest.

In fact, in Zhou Yuanqiang's opinion, the most valuable thing on the entire military shopping website may be the technology sales area. A lot of weapons technology and key technologies for many equipment are listed here. Even among many embargoed equipment, you can also find it here.

Technical information. Even complete design drawings of naval vessels such as frigates are for sale. You can imagine the madness of underground arms dealers.

"As long as you have money, you can buy everything you want!"

Although this sentence is arrogant, it shows the capabilities of underground arms dealers. They come from almost all countries in the world, and they are all guys with one hand reaching the sky.

But it’s strange that the area with the coldest transactions is the technology sales area. Investigating the reason, it may be that these technologies are not too advanced and are generally suitable for third world countries. But based on the national conditions of third world countries, I bought the technology

So what, if there is no manufacturing conditions, it is better to use the money to buy weapons directly.

The air-launched cruise missile purchased by Zhou Yuanqiang is considered a very advanced missile technology. However, for third countries, they have no ability to manufacture or purchase various types of fighter aircraft to launch it. Even if they really want to buy it, it is better to buy it directly.

Air-launched cruise missiles are more practical. You can buy 500 of them for 500 million, and you will almost never run out of them.

There is no doubt that the most actively traded items are light weapons, such as guns, bullets, small artillery, or sniper rifles, anti-tank missiles, and the like.

Heavy weapons are also traded, but the quantity is not too large. For Central African countries, fighter jets are not practical. Instead, armed helicopters and armored vehicles are the most popular. The transaction volume is not large, but it can be considered

It’s no small matter. From Zhou Yuanqiang’s understanding, Somalia has complex forces. Almost everyone has one or two armed helicopters and a dozen or so armored vehicles.

Not to mention the richer countries and local forces, it is not unusual to have more than ten armed helicopters.

After browsing the military purchase website for a while, I finally got a response on the chat communicator, and a message was sent to me.

Zhou Yuanqiang was overjoyed. When he clicked on it, it first showed that it was from a store called Fallen Angel, and then the message immediately showed: "Do you need a military satellite?"

"Yes!"

After a moment, the fallen angel replied again: "We have a former Soviet spy satellite in our hands, but from a technical level, it was manufactured in 1978. I wonder if you are interested?"

Zhou Yuanqiang frowned, thought for a moment, and replied: "Is the technology too backward? The technology of the late 1970s is not very meaningful."

The fallen angel smiled and said: "The Soviet Union's technological power during the Cold War was very powerful. Even today, its satellite technology is still among the world's most advanced. Although this satellite cannot compete with the most advanced satellites of other military powers.

In comparison, it is not comparable to some small countries, so it should be able to meet your requirements."

What the other party said is indeed true.

The technological power of the Soviet Union at that time was not even comparable to that of the old United States. Its various technologies were advanced and led all walks of life. Its satellite technology was very advanced. Zhou Yuanqiang had to admit this. Even if the Soviet Union disintegrated, it would inherit

Russia, which has acquired most of the Soviet Union's assets, is still very strong in technology, and many technologies are still ahead of the world.

"Twenty years have passed. Didn't the Soviet Union at that time and Russia now launch it?"

Faced with Zhou Yuanqiang's question, the other party still smiled and explained: "When the manufacturing was completed, a small problem was detected near launch, so it was returned to the factory for repairs. During this process, a lot of things happened.

It was forgotten. Especially on the eve of the disintegration of the Soviet Union, from top to bottom, everyone was eating up everything in the Soviet Union. Selling a satellite was nothing to them. They even

Dozens of fighter planes and tanks can all be scrapped and refurbished collectively, so what else can't be done?"

"You should know that we finally bought it. But there are almost no people buying satellites. If we hadn't seen your purchase post today, we would have almost forgotten that we still have a spy satellite in our hands. You don't have to worry,

When I bought it, it came with a complete set, including its receiving and control equipment, etc.”

Zhou Yuanqiang pondered deeply. To be honest, what the other party said was not wrong. With the Soviet Union’s technical capabilities, this spy satellite was not too bad.

It is definitely not as good as today's most advanced spy satellites. It is definitely impossible to peek at women taking a bath and pat their underwear. At the level of the late 1970s, it can only be used for geographical reconnaissance.

, as well as vague military targets.

It should be said that having this kind of function is not enough for the chamber of commerce, but it can still be used.

The Chamber of Commerce, which has a clear knowledge in the field of satellites, needs military satellites in the true sense. After thorough research, they can develop their own military satellites. Low-level satellites can only be said to allow the Chamber of Commerce to understand the structure of satellites.

, there will be a long way to go to develop a satellite that can peek at women.

From this point of view, it is not in the interests of the Chamber of Commerce.

Looking at the development of the entire chamber of commerce, the technical strength can definitely be described as leaps and bounds. From not even designing an airship, in just two and a half years, it was able to independently design and manufacture a super aircraft carrier, from being able to only imitate the fighter aircraft

-6, it is possible to design and manufacture the Hy-3 third-generation fighter. Whether it is from fighters to tanks and artillery, it is a rapid development.

If it takes several years, ten years, or even decades to develop satellites to reach the level of the most advanced satellites in the world, Zhou Yuanqiang cannot afford to wait. The apocalyptic situation does not allow the chamber of commerce to have such a long time.

wait.

The most urgent need for successful strategic weapons research is navigation satellites.

However, navigation satellites are the most difficult type of satellites to obtain among military satellites. They usually consist of a few or a dozen satellites covering the entire world to achieve the goal of global navigation. More importantly, in conjunction with communication satellites,

, almost anywhere will be under its navigation and communication. Instructions from developed countries can reach frontline troops in any corner of the world in just three or four minutes.

The current situation has made Zhou Yuanqiang consider whether to purchase civilian satellites and transform them to have the capabilities of military satellites to form the chamber of commerce's global navigation system.

"What's the quote?"

Zhou Yuanqiang finally decided to buy this spy satellite when the price was right, not to launch it into space, but to study its anatomy. In other words, he bought it to let the scientific researchers in the chamber of commerce understand the purpose of the satellite.

Yes, it means paying for a device to study.

The quote for Fallen Angels is very low, only 15 million US dollars.

Such a low price is indeed beyond Zhou Yuanqiang's expectation. It is probably because the other party also wants to get rid of this burden. Thinking back to the madness of the Soviet Union, I heard that sometimes a few bottles of wine can make some people open the door to you.

, and even let you take away materials and equipment worth tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. Presumably, the price the other party spent to get this satellite will not be too big. Fifteen million US dollars, I don’t know how much net profit it can make.

.

If the other party offered $120 million, of course Zhou Yuanqiang would not buy it, but for $15 million, there was no need to let it go.

There was no bargaining. After readily paying fifteen million US dollars, the two parties agreed on the method and location of the transaction. The fallen angel's unintentional words suddenly made Zhou Yuanqiang's eyes sparkle: "Now the manufacturing of military satellites

There are fewer and fewer. I heard that Russia is about to launch a military satellite, probably to serve the Black Sea Fleet..."

Zhou Yuanqiang's desire for military satellites certainly made him want to rob.

But the problem is that in the past few years, there have been very few reports of countries launching military satellites. Even if they have, they are done secretly and are not known to outsiders at all. In this case, some military satellites have already been launched.

, it was not Zhou Yuanqiang’s turn to have his own thoughts. Otherwise, Zhou Yuanqiang would not have rushed over like a wolf and started looting.

He dares to rob a military base as big as Guam, let alone a mere military satellite?

It was precisely because he had no other choice that Zhou Yuanqiang had to try his luck through the military purchase network. But who would have thought that he would hear this news. For Zhou Yuanqiang, this is really a pie from the sky. This thousand

Five million US dollars is definitely well spent.

Zhou Yuanqiang would not doubt the authenticity of this news. Since the other party was able to obtain satellites and a large amount of weapons and supplies from the former Soviet Union, they must have their own methods in it. Some information that is confidential to ordinary people is not in their circle.

What news.

"Russia is really stubborn. The economy has not yet recovered, and it has started launching satellites again. Can they bear it?"

Zhou Yuanqiang made a tentative sentence, and the other party did not suspect anything. He replied: "God bless them. I hope this time the satellite does not rise into the sea because of the reduction of funds."

A seemingly plain sentence is enough for Zhou Yuanqiang. After closing the chat page, he fell into hard thinking. There are not many areas where Russia has the ability to launch satellites by the sea, and it is also a service.

For the Black Sea Fleet, with such a saying, it is not difficult to find clues to confirm the location of satellite launch and the route of satellite transportation.

After finding a national map of polar bears and looking for them from recent news reports, Zhou Yuanqiang finally focused on a certain area, showed a smile, tapped on his desk, and said lightly: "Old Russia, this time

It's your turn to be in trouble."
