Chapter 262 The cargo ship was ambushed at sea
The seven countries purchased the foreign trade version of the armed robot from Metaverse Intelligent Controls. On the second day after the news was announced, Ameleka also reacted.
Immediately afterwards, many mainstream media outlets from Europe Magnesium began to write articles and reports on the matter and launched fierce criticism.
Beimei Cable News Network stated that armed robots from the East are spreading significantly around the world, and this equipment is destroying geopeace and stability in the Middle East.
Obviously, after learning that the deal was done, América was not reconciled, and began to launch an offensive to find compensation at the level of public opinion, and heavily criticized.
I have to say that their operation was extremely double-standard, extremely shameless and very Western.
When the little guys in the Middle East purchase their weapons and equipment, they say exactly the opposite.
However, Yuanjie Intelligent Control did not comment at all and was too lazy to respond. Anyway, the deal has been completed and the money has been received.
This kind of thing is usually caused by the wj department. Yuanjie Intelligent Control does not need to make any reaction, just ignore it and do its own thing.
Ignoring it will make them even more frustrated.
The military trade generally lasts for five years if it does not open for business, and it lasts for five years if it does open for business.
Nowadays, major countries in the Middle East have basically purchased armed robots. This region may not have such large new orders for at least the next three years or even five years.
Unless the Middle East starts fighting, the consumption will be huge.
But it does not mean that after completing this business, there will be no revenue in the next three to five years.
After purchasing the equipment, subsequent maintenance will cost money. Daily training will also cause losses, and parts need to be replaced.
Hence, "after-sales service" can also make money. Although the profit margin is not that exaggerated, it is better than stabilizing droughts and floods and ensuring income.
And that place in the Middle East is known as one of the three powder barrels. If nothing else, in about five years, the little squid will cause trouble.
…
At the same time, Wanxiang Huitong’s stock price hit the daily limit on the first board, then closed the daily limit the next day, and then opened the daily limit again. Although it exploded during the session, it quickly closed and exited the T-board.
After the strong daily limit of the three consecutive boards, it reached the daily limit on the fourth trading day. However, it failed to close the market after the market crashed at the end of the trading day. Finally, it closed up +7.73%.
The main reason for the discontinuation is that the stock price has reached near the historical high, and the previous lock-in order has been unwound and there has been an outflow.
However, there was no adjustment after the break. Instead, it increased in volume and strengthened again. It emerged from a strong change of hands, recorded two more daily limits, and entered a high-standard market with five boards in six days.
Large-cap stocks with hundreds of billions of dollars are trending like monster stocks.
Six days and five boards also allowed Wanxiang Huitong to break through the previous high in one fell swoop and hit a new all-time high.
On the next day, the stock price once rose by more than 5 percentage points, reaching a price of 1,565.77 yuan during the session, pushing the market value to a new high of 743.74 billion.
Wanxiang Huitong has risen sharply this time. Since the first market limit, in just about a week, the cumulative increase has exceeded 82 percentage points.
Looking back now, when the price exploded straight to 472.60 yuan, it was a historical gold pit.
Calculated from this price point, the cumulative increase has now reached +231.31%. Investors who originally cut the price below 500 yuan regret it.
…
The time comes to late September.
Metaverse Intelligent Control held a press conference and announced that the company will hold a new product launch conference on October 5.
Once this news was announced, it quickly attracted the attention of the global technology circle, and the vast number of domestic melon-eating netizens also watched and discussed it.
The last time Yuanjie Intelligent Control held a product launch, it was the emergence of Xiaoyuan Robot.
After two years, new products are released again, which arouses great expectations from the outside world.
The confidentiality of brain-computer terminal products has been quite good this time. Until now, the outside world has not known the situation. Everyone is now speculating that the new product released may be the civilian version of the company's omnidirectional motion platform, and may be a VR head-mounted display device.
The stock price of Wanxiang Huitong, which originally started to correct, once adjusted and fell below the 1,300 yuan mark.
After the news of the new product released by Metaverse Intelligent Control was announced, the stock price of Wanxiang Huitong rebounded strongly and reached the daily limit, returning to the price mark of 1,500 yuan.
However, it did not continue to hit new highs because there were short-term funds cashing in on the good news.
However, it did not fall sharply because of this. Instead, it was running at a high level, with very strong support, because there was also a lot of money gaming Metaverse Intelligent Control's new product launch conference that exceeded expectations.
Hence the stock price of Wanxiang Huitong is showing a pattern of high and wide fluctuations.
…
Friday, September 29th.
In the northern Arabian Gulf area, it was around 4 a.m. local time at night.
A large transport ship sailed into this sea area, cutting through the waves and sailing towards the Persian Gulf.
The sea area where the transport ship is located at this moment is still about 500 nautical miles away from the Strait of Hormuz.
The 6,500 armed robots purchased by the UAE from Metaverse Intelligent Control and the 4,000 armed robots purchased by Kata'er are all on this transport ship.
The sea was calm at night, and the people on the ship were immersed in the anticipation of the arrival of the goods, but they had no idea that there was already a murderous intention hidden in the deep sea.
The small squid "Hi Dolphin" submarine lurking in the dark waterway, like a patient poisonous snake, has been waiting in this position for a long time.
SMALL Squid has learned that the 10,500 armed robots purchased by Kata'er and the UAE are all on one cargo ship, and has learned its navigation route.
As early as a week ago, Little Squid’s submarine had already ambushed the cargo ship’s only path.
At about 4:13 in the morning, the submarine's sonar locked the target, the captain sent intelligence to the headquarters, and received the final confirmation order from Tel Aviv shortly afterwards.
"Target confirmed!"
"Torpedoes No. 1 and 2, launch!"
Two dull sounds came from the torpedo tubes. Two heavy torpedoes trailed deadly white trails, shuttled through the dark deep sea, and then accurately rushed to their respective targets.
A few minutes later, two earth-shattering explosions in the sea tore apart the tranquility of the night.
A huge fireball rose from the middle of the transport ship and quickly engulfed the steel hull.
The fatal shock wave and the huge hole filled with water caused this behemoth to capsize and break in a very short period of time.
The 10,500 armed robots on the ship, together with the innocent crew members, sank into the cold and dark abyss. They had no idea what was happening and were buried in the belly of the fish.
There are no Yuanjie intelligence-controlled people on this transport ship. It is precisely because of this that the little squid dared to ambush the bold side.
If there are people controlled by Yuanjie Intelligence on this ship, there will definitely be a 052D escort nearby.
In this case, even if the little squid had ten more courage, he would not dare to attack the cargo ship.
Because once launched, it will definitely be discovered by the "Zhi-9C" anti-submarine helicopter and the submarine will be exposed. The "HY-6" anti-submarine missile carried by the 052D has active sonar search capabilities and can effectively attack medium- and long-range submarines.
Small Squid's intelligence learned that the cargo ship carrying the Emirates and Katar armed robots did not apply for 052D escort, and there was not even a Hua citizen on board.
Confirming this information, the little squid has no worries.
Little Squid was furious when he learned that all seven countries had purchased foreign trade version of armed robots. The purpose of this operation was to put the blame on Iran, and it would be best to provoke a big fight between the Shiye and Xunni factions.
Amélica also knew about this operation and provided some key intelligence support.
Beijing Magnesium Military Industry Group has made a lot of efforts in this matter, because they do not want the Eastern weapons and equipment military trade market to open up in the Middle East.
At about the same time, another cargo ship was sunk 350 nautical miles east of Yaden Bay. This cargo ship was carrying 4,000 foreign trade version armed robots purchased by Aji.
It was still a submarine sneak attack and ambush by Little Squid that sank it.
…
Jianing City, 8:37 in the morning.
Lu An arrived at his office after the morning technical meeting and was talking to Meng Qiuyan about the brain-computer terminal launch conference.
At this moment, I heard a knock on the door, and it was quite urgent.
Come in.”
Lu An responded, raised his head and glanced at the door, only to see Yu Changle walking in hurriedly.
"Boss, breaking news, people from the UAE, Kata'er and Aji have just contacted us urgently, saying that their cargo ship carrying armed robots suddenly lost contact at sea, and asked if we can get in touch."
Hearing this unexpected news, Lu An couldn't help but be stunned.
Meng Qiuyan next to him was startled, and immediately frowned and said, "What did you say? Lost contact?"
Yu Changle nodded and said, "Yes, the time of loss of contact was about an hour and a half ago, in the Arabian Sea."
At the moment, the time in East Eighth District is around 8:30. This time zone is about 3 hours ahead of the time zone of the sea area where the incident occurred. The time in the sea area where the incident occurred happened to be around 4 a.m. at around 7 a.m. in East Eighth District.
Lu An looked back and thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that these two cargo ships are in danger. It is most likely not an accident, but someone deliberately ambushed and sank these two cargo ships."
As soon as these words came out, Yu Changle looked surprised and couldn't help but say: "Who dares to be so bold?"
Meng Qiuyan said thoughtfully: "If it was deliberately sunk, it must not have been done by pirates. Could it have been Yilang?" Hearing this, Lu An thought about it and said slowly: "This possibility cannot be ruled out..."
Then he changed the subject and said: "But Little Squid and Lao Mei are more likely. On the surface, Yilan is the most likely, but I think he may have this idea, but he definitely dare not actually do it. It is too unwise."
If Yilan makes such an announcement, it will be true to the facts. When the time comes when the entire Sunni sect shares the same hatred and anger, it will be even more difficult for Yilan, and he will be particularly passive. No one will speak for him in the international community, and he will have to take the road narrower and narrower.
And by doing this, he offended Dongfang.
You must know that Dongfang is now the largest buyer of Iran's oil. Others are afraid to buy Iran's oil due to pressure from Amélica. Only Dongfang is not afraid and buys it without any mistakes, and Amélica has no choice.
It can be seen that Yilang would not be able to do such a thing unless his brain was filled with water.
Lu An said slowly: "Excluding Yilan, the only one who has this ability and dares to do this is the squid, and that squid is the most suspect."
"The reason is sufficient. Heroes from all walks of life in the Middle East have installed our armed robots. The one who really can't sleep the most in this three-acre land is precisely this squid, and this squid can do anything."
As a reborn person, Lu An knew very well what kind of thing the little squid was, and even his mustache was about to be washed away. This shows that what this squid has done has reached the level of outrage.
The little squid can definitely sink these two cargo ships.
At this time, Meng Qiuyan couldn't help but said: "Fortunately, these two cargo ships don't have our employees, otherwise..."
Lu An immediately said: "Otherwise, the squid wouldn't dare to do this even if he had ten thousand courages. It's just that there are no of us on the two cargo ships, so this little squid has nothing to worry about."
Yu Changle looked at Lu An and asked: "Boss, how should we deal with this matter?"
Lu An thought for a moment, suddenly smiled, and said calmly: "These days, you really can't stand people chasing after you to feed you, haha!"
Seeing Yu Changle's confused look, Lu An smiled and added: "Since these three parties have contacted us urgently, we will do our best to help and see if we can get in touch. But I don't have any hope. The two cargo ships will most likely be buried in the sea. Let's deal with it."
Yu Changle nodded and immediately turned and left the office.
Lu An tilted his head and glanced at Meng Qiuyan, "Originally, I was thinking that it might take several years to get new orders for armed robots. Now, we can sit at home and make a lot of money with tears in our eyes."
Meng Qiuyan said to himself: "The UAE and Kata'er are very rich, and they may purchase them again, but the economic conditions in Eji are probably difficult enough."
Hearing this, Lu An said calmly: "You have to buy it if it's too much, and even more so when you encounter this kind of thing. Don't forget that Aiji is bordered by small squids. Even if Aiji can't afford to buy it, he must find other ways to get it."
By coincidence, the purchases from these three parties were quite large, with UAE buying the most, purchasing 6,500 units, Kata'er buying 4,000 units, and Aji buying 3,000 units.
A total of 13,500 armed robots, totaling US$33 billion.
Don't think about it, these three parties must be furious now. The money has been paid, but the goods have not arrived yet. They are gone.
…
Two hours later, around 10:30, the news began to spread. Although it has not been widely reported by the media, it will definitely make world news headlines today.
At around 10:45, "Cailianshe" Telegraph News:
[According to external sources, two cargo ships carrying 13,500 armed robots were docked in Arabia. Lost contact in the sea]
Just five minutes before this news came out, Wanxiang Huitong’s stock price had already started to move up by 5%. Obviously, there were funds that had learned the news earlier.
The capital market reacted more quickly than the public netizens, knowing that although this matter has nothing to do with Metaverse Intelligent Control, it is objectively good for Metaverse Intelligent Control.
Furthermore, today is the last trading day before the National Day holiday. Metaverse Intelligent Control will hold a new product launch conference in five days. It already had funds to spend the holiday with chips in hand, and the gaming conference exceeded expectations.
Now that such a big thing happened, the differences in funds quickly turned into consensus.
Just after the "Cailianshe" telecom news came out, funds began to rush for funds on Wanxiang Huitong's time-sharing market.
I saw its stock price rise rapidly. In just two minutes, it rose from the +4.79% water level to the daily limit, sealing the daily limit. The amount of orders sealed on the board exceeded 7.12 billion.
Major market software subsequently pushed the news:
[Wanxiang Huitong closed the daily limit, and the stock price continued to hit a record high, with a current turnover of 23.7 billion. 】
The daily limit price closed at 1,576.51 yuan, exceeding the mid-month high of 1,565.77 yuan. The company's market capitalization also climbed to a record high of 748.842 billion yuan.
At this moment, news that two cargo ships carrying 13,500 armed robots have disappeared is spreading wildly on the Internet.
Since the source of the news is unknown and has not been confirmed, many people have questioned its authenticity and think it is a rumor.
At about 16:00 in the afternoon, mainstream media finally reported the incident, confirming that the two cargo ships had lost contact in the Arabian Sea.
Immediately afterwards, major media quoted reports and quickly made headlines in the country.
That night, this incident also made headlines around the world, causing shock to all walks of life.
The whole world is asking, was the loss of contact between the two cargoes caused by a natural disaster? Or is it a man-made disaster?
