Chapter Ten Gentle Demolition Quincy

Quincy, a small city in Massachusetts, USA.

However, don't underestimate this city. The hometown of the first vice president and the sixth president of the United States are here and have become famous for it.

The Tang Empire is under construction in the world's largest wind tunnel group, and one of its core key equipment is the need for a large number of high-power and high-quality air compressors.

In this regard, Quincy Compressor Company, founded in the early 20s, has the world's most advanced compressed air technology and has become the industry leader. They specialize in manufacturing and selling the highest quality air compressors, Wall pump technology and vacuum pumps, which are widely used in global manufacturing, medical care, submarine mining, atomic energy, electromagnetic laser particle technology and climate control systems, and are used in any industry that requires safe and reliable gas sources.

Zhang Meng knew that the company's air compressor technology not only played a key role in the construction quality of the wind tunnel group of the Tang Empire, but also had to rely on it for gas turbine engines and key AIP submarine engines in the era of advanced jet aircraft in the future. It even had a large-scale climate control war between the two sides during the Cold War of the United States and the Soviet Union.

The famous Red Alert game in the future is not completely fictional. The lightning storm inside is not groundless. It is indeed a lightning climate control system developed by the US military and has never given up. It is exactly the same as the tornado climate control system developed by the Soviet army.

Calling the wind and rain is not just a myth in the book. Zhang Meng knows that it is a secret that no countries in the world will mention in the future. Just like nuclear blackmail among great powers, climate control technology is also a killer weapon for the balanced power among great powers.

Zhang Meng also needs to own this technology and may not be used in the future, but it is necessary to prevent being blackmailed by major countries from protecting themselves.

At the same time, among several important applications of pump technology, atomic energy level transition technology will be applied to future uranium separation technology. The Tang Empire has no land resources, but has rich manganese nodule resources on the seabed. Vacuum suction technology applied to submarine collection mines will solve important resource problems for the Tang Empire. The application of pump technology to electromagnetic laser particle technology will become one of the core key technologies of future electromagnetic orbital kinetic cannons and laser weapons.

From this we can see that the importance of Quincy's company is self-evident, so Zhang Meng is determined to win. Therefore, he will do everything he wants and must take the company into his own hands.

Quincy was founded on July 20, 1920 by engineers George Wo, John Carter and George Chilie, along with entrepreneur and investor Leighton Irving and his son Mike. It was merged by Wall Pump Technology and Compressor Technology.

Zhang Meng likes joint ventures because he can divide and disintegrate their camps and achieve the purpose of annexation.

Litton Irving and his son Mike are just investors, and as long as they give them enough benefits, they will hand over the 50% stake they hold.

Now during the economic crisis, as investors, Litton Irving and his son Mike are well aware of the situation in the market. Without seeing the dawn of profit, they are happy to sell their shares to Madoff who is visiting them.

After Madoff's almost exaggerated deception, Litton-Irving and his son Mike were both frightened by the future tragedy of the US market. Of course, Madoff just repeated Zhang Meng's argument that the US economic crisis continued to affect a long time. As businessmen, they certainly thought it made sense. They were worried that the stocks in their hands would continue to plummet, so they hurriedly transferred the shares in their hands to Madoff.

George Wo, John Carter and George Qilie are engineers. They focus more on technology development and product development, and they know nothing about economic and financial management.

Although the three of them were moved by Madoff's boastful talk, they did not want to transfer the company's shares.

Zhang Meng quickly saw through the thoughts of the three of them. It was impossible to impress the three of them through money. He could only use more advanced scientific research equipment to tempt them.

Zhang Meng took a try-out attitude and asked Madoff to promise to give them a generous stock transfer fee to provide them with the most advanced scientific research environment and equipment in the world. He also hoped that the three of them could work with Tesla, and asked Tesla to immediately study the relevant information of the air compressor and point out key defects for the Quincy air compressor products.

Tesla is naturally a genius. He soon found several technical defects of Quincy air compressor and made theoretical arguments and improvements. When Madoff informed George Wo, John Carter and George Qilie, it immediately touched their souls' desire for scientific research. Then Madoff proposed that they could learn and work with Tesla, and finally convinced the three to hand over the other 50% of the shares they had.

In fact, Zhang Meng could have continued to use the power of American societies to force them to hand over Quincy's shares, but Zhang Meng knew that the future growth of Quincy's company was depended on these three main engineers and their technical team. If they were to threaten them, it would only kill Quincy's future development prospects, which would not be of any benefit to Zhang Meng and the Tang Empire, but rather a huge loss.

Therefore, Zhang Meng treated them very gently this time, took over Quincy Company peacefully and friendlyly for $8.3 million and included it under Datang Heavy Industry, which was 10% higher than the market price, but Zhang Meng thought it was worth it because he got the complete Quincy Company.

According to convention, every time Zhang Meng acquired a company, he would immediately start demolition work and transfer the company's technical employees and factory machinery and equipment to the Tang Empire.

But this time Zhang Meng did not rush to demolish it, but asked Quincy employees to immediately produce the large air compressor needed for the Tang Empire, and put it into use before the full-size aviation wind tunnel for the first phase of the wind tunnel laboratory project is completed, so as not to affect the testing of the Raptor fighter.

The Quincy factory continued to produce air compressors, vacuum pumps and other products. Zhang Meng also purchased all the machinery and equipment in the United States and transported them back to Datang to build another factory. After the new factory was completed, the Quincy factory was relocated as a whole.

At the same time, George Wo, John Carter and George Qilie, as well as their technical team, will move to the Tang Empire National Laboratory as a whole, give them generous treatment, and allow them to take their families over and arrange work for the house and car.

The economic crisis had already affected their lives, and the conditions Zhang Meng gave them were simply a great thing, so they all happily took a special plane to Datang.

When they arrived at the Tang Dynasty National Laboratory, George Wo, John Carter and George Qilie met Tesla as they wished and had in-depth conversations. They were all shocked and admired Tesla's knowledgeable talent.

Afterwards, they carried out research and scientific research in one-third of the newly built national laboratories. They were all very interested in learning that the Tang Empire built a super wind tunnel group.

When they arrived in the Tang Dynasty, the super wind tunnel group had already started construction.

According to the plan, the Aerodynamic Research and Development Center of the Datang Empire National Laboratory independently designed and built the world's largest and most complete super wind tunnel group, with more than 50 supporting low-speed, high-speed, ultra-high-speed pneumatic and pneumatic thermal testing equipment and special testing equipment.

The first phase of the project is mainly a full-size super wind tunnel of 45.8m×12.2m, which is enough to accommodate various large, medium and small aircraft that will appear in the future for physical testing. The wind tunnel wind speed is 230 meters per second, 3 standard atmospheric pressures, and a power of 123,000 kilowatts. It can conduct aerodynamic tests from low speed to 24 times ultra-high sound speed, from underwater, ground, and then to 120 kilometers altitude range to comprehensively study the flight status of any aircraft within the atmosphere in any airspace, and can provide comprehensive testing data.

This wind tunnel is listed as the highest priority for construction. Although it is now built for the testing of Raptor fighter jets, it is actually built for the testing of all types of aircraft in the future. Even the future B29 super bomber is no problem.

In order to catch up with the progress, the first phase project only built one super wind tunnel. The second phase project includes more than 40 wind tunnels including 16m×12m, 8m×6m, 4m×3m low-speed wind tunnel and Φ3.2m subsonic wind tunnel, Φ5m vertical wind tunnel, 2.4m×2.4m transsonic wind tunnel, 1.2m×1.2m transsonic wind tunnel, Φ0.5m hypersonic wind tunnel and other more than 40 wind tunnels. The third phase project includes Φ2m shock wave wind tunnel, Φ1m hypersonic wind tunnel, Φ0.3m hypersonic low-density wind tunnel, 200m free ballistic target, etc.

After the final super wind tunnel group was completed, the Tang Empire, whether for military or civilian purposes, included all facilities and components involved in fluid mechanics, providing them with all-round test data for pressure, heat, cold, air, and water flow resistance, to minimize unnecessary scientific research investment and losses.

Martin and Tesla took them to visit the super wind tunnel group that had started construction. They were shocked by such a huge project, which was no less than the visual impact given by the Chinese to build the Great Wall.

However, the larger the scale, the more proud these people felt in the Tang Empire. To be able to join such a huge century engineering project, it would be more exciting for them, such scientific researchers than to give them a mountain of gold.
