Chapter 890 Tempered glass that can stop bullets
"Hello everyone in front of the TV, our program this time is called Zhang Zhong Talks about Tempered Glass." Zhang Zhong always keeps up with current affairs. Whatever can be reported, he will definitely be the most professional in reporting it. The most meticulous one, this time, he captured the hot topics of current affairs, and he was also able to advertise Oriental products.
"We know that although ordinary glass is hard, it is very brittle and can easily break. The emergence of tempered glass changes this state. It is a kind of prestressed glass that usually uses chemical or physical methods to form a layer of glass on the surface of the glass. It forms compressive stress and improves the strength of the glass. When the glass is subjected to external force, it first offsets the surface stress, thereby enhancing the glass's own resistance to wind pressure, cold and heat, impact resistance, etc. In 1874, France manufactured the world's first tempered glass. After that, Countries are beginning to adopt this technology."
"As for our country, we only began to have this technology in the 1950s, but we have developed a set of standards that are much stricter than other countries. Over the years, our domestic manufacturers have continued to improve their technology, making our tempered glass far more powerful. Far surpassing the West, this standard is the impact strength test.”
An animation appears on the screen.
"In this kind of experiment, an iron ball with a certain weight will fall freely from a height of 2 meters and hit 12 pieces of tempered glass. No more than 3 pieces of glass will be broken, so it is considered qualified. But the West has never dared Their glass simply couldn't withstand this kind of experiment." Zhang Zhong continued: "At the same time, we recorded some experimental videos in the field, first of which was to smash the glass with a sledgehammer."
The screen continues to switch, and the manufacturer is still displayed in the upper right corner.
“First of all, it’s glass made by established French manufacturers.”
The worker hit the glass with a big hammer, and the glass immediately broke, with numerous cracks appearing.
“Then come the British products.”
It’s not much better.
“The last one is our Eastern Fuyao Glass.”
After a big hammer blow, the glass was unharmed.
The workers kept up their efforts and continued to hit the glass with a sledgehammer, two times, three times, four times, and more than a dozen times, before cracks finally appeared in the glass.
“Everyone has seen, this is the quality of our Dongfang glass! Many people have always doubted our domestic products, now let them see, in the field of tempered glass, our products are the strongest!”
In the picture, a person stood up and stepped on the Fuyao tempered glass. Although it was cracked, the glass could still bear the weight of the human body!
This is Eastern quality!
"Of course, there are always people who don't believe it and think we are cheating. The method of using a sledgehammer does have subjective factors, just like our ancient sledgehammers in the East. Some are loud but not painful, and some are painful but not painful. The sound can even kill people. Therefore, after we finish this experiment, we will conduct another experiment that has nothing to do with subjective factors, that is, using a sniper rifle to simulate the situation at that time!"
"Judging from the bullets embedded at the scene, the murderer used the M33 military standard bullet on the M82A1, which fired at a distance of two thousand meters. Therefore, we used the same rifle and fired at the same distance to see what products were produced by different manufacturers. The bearing capacity of glass. First of all, we want to state that no tempered glass manufacturer will promise that their tempered glass can be bulletproof. After all, the mechanisms of action of tempered glass and bulletproof glass are different."
"Bulletproof and anti-theft glass is not strengthened by ordinary glass. It is scientifically combined with multiple pieces of transparent float glass of different thicknesses and multiple pieces of PVB film. The glass and PVB film are bonded very firmly to form a whole. The glass is very It is hard, and the film is very tough, so it is like composite armor, which can effectively improve the bulletproof ability of the glass. However, if the strength of tempered glass is increased to a certain value, it can still play a very good bulletproof role."
On the shooting range, gunshots rang out, and pieces of glass shattered. However, only one piece of glass withstood the blow. Although there were cracks, it was not broken!
“Okay, now that the test is over, let’s go see which piece of glass it is.”
The photographer carried the camera over and focused the lens on the piece of glass that was still intact. You can see the label on it, which is still Made in China!
"When tempered glass hardens to a certain level, it can withstand bullets, even 12.7mm bullets! But we should also see that this is just a special case. The gunman only used ordinary bullets, and he shot from two thousand meters away. Come on, if the distance is shortened or the gunman uses armor-piercing incendiary bombs, the consequences will definitely be different!"
The capital of Siam, an office.
"Yes, it was really thrilling this time. If the gunmen had used armor-piercing incendiary bombs, I would have been killed on the spot. Damn it, they went too far!" Qiu Daxin said angrily: "Thanks to Mr. Qin this time , he saved my life again!”
"Yes, this time is indeed thrilling. We have lodged a serious protest with Myanmar. This is an act of war." Rakul said: "Myanmar apologized for this, but they insisted that it had nothing to do with the shooting. The gunman was not They sent it out.”
"Of course not, anyone with a discerning eye can see that. The key is, have they regressed?"
“They promise that similar things will never happen again in the future. If it happens, we can fire back. They will not think it is an act of war. We just need to inform them and compensate them for their losses afterwards.”
"Humph, we'll also compensate for the losses. It's good enough that we didn't ask for compensation from them this time!" Qiu Daxin said: "Deploy advanced individual radars and quick-response artillery there. If there are snipers without a long eye in the future, Hands, blow them to smithereens!"
“Report, Lord Swift asks for an audience.”
The expression on Qiu Daxin’s face became serious again.
Swift is not a good bird. When he came last time, he was threatening and intimidating him. He was not allowed to build the canal. The United States would not allow it. If Siam did not bow its head, the United States would hold joint military exercises with Asan!
At that time, they asked Mr. Qin for help, borrowed J-31A fighter jets, and launched special C704 missiles, which was able to curb the other party's arrogance. Now, the other party is here again. What do they want to do?
"Invite him in." Although Qiu Daxin wanted to drive them away directly, he resisted. Now that the canal has been opened, it is impossible for anyone to continue to block their canal project. The deal is already done. What can the Americans do? ?
Qiu Daxin even wanted to see Swift's helpless face.
Swift came in, continuing to smoke his big pipe, with the same disdain on his face as before. He sat on a chair and crossed his legs.
“Your Excellency Qiu Daxin, we were shocked to hear that you were almost killed by a hidden sniper, so we came here to see you.”
There is no sincerity in what I say. If you want to visit a patient, you must at least bring some gifts.
"Yeah, almost, but fortunately, I escaped with the protection of the Oriental glass. Moreover, it makes no sense for the conspirators behind the scenes to achieve their ulterior goals through assassination, and they will definitely be punished. to failure." Qiu Daxin said: "Even if I really die, the canal will continue to operate and will never stop."
"Yes, this canal plays an important role in world shipping. Now that it has been opened, it must not be stopped." Swift said: "It provides a closer waterway, which can greatly reduce transportation costs and is important to the world economy. Meaning. If anyone dares to plot and obstruct the operation of the canal, he or she is an enemy of the United States!"
Qiu Daxin became curious. The American's attitude changed very quickly. In the past, he tried every means to prevent it, but now he actually supports it?
With the support of the United States, that is undoubtedly the best result.
“Thank you for your support.” Qiu Daxin’s attitude also changed.
"You are able to complete the excavation of the canal under tremendous pressure, which reflects your ability and impresses us in the United States. Of course we will support it." Swift continued: "However, many conspirators will not If you are determined, there will definitely be a new conspiracy against your canal."
Isn’t the conspirator behind it the United States? Qiu Daxin complained secretly in his heart, but he would not slap the smiling person. Since Swift said so, of course he could not expose the other person's hypocritical mask.
"So, we decided to provide you with greater support." Swift continued: "Especially your navy, which is too backward. Only one 10,000-ton light aircraft carrier is not enough to protect your navy. We have decided to gift you two Iwo Jima-class amphibious assault ships to increase the strength of your navy."
The Iwo Jima class is the first professional amphibious assault ship of the U.S. Navy. The first USS Iwo Jima was put into service in 1961, and the last USS Incheon was put into service in 1970. It has been thirty or forty years ago now, so, in After the Gulf War, these warships were retired one after another. Only the last Incheon was converted into a mine countermeasures command, control and support ship, and the others were mothballed.
Although these warships are called amphibious assault ships, they have no docking bays and can only use helicopters for vertical attacks, so their performance is not strong. It is the first attempt by the Yankees. Moreover, the full-load displacement is less than 20,000 tons, and the size is too small. , the longest deck is only 183 meters. It usually takes off and lands a helicopter, and occasionally operates the Sea Harrier, but nothing else can be operated.
Compared with other amphibious assault ships, the front ends of the decks of these warships are still arc-shaped, not the usual rectangular decks. They look very interesting and very tasteless.
Now, Americans are going to give away things for free?
Qiu Daxin asked cautiously: "Are you giving it to me for free? Do you require us to pay for the modification?"
"No, these warships are in a good state of storage and can be used directly without modification. Even your vertical take-off and landing fighter jets can be boarded." Swift said: "In addition to these two amphibious assault ships, we also I will give you several Perry-class frigates so that you can have the most powerful naval force here.”
“You usually use these warships to patrol the sea and protect the canal. If necessary, our US military can come to support you. For better cooperation, we hope to hold a joint military exercise with you every year.”
Qiu Daxin slowly reacted: "Is it only a joint military exercise?"
"When needed, we also hope to rent your port and dock directly at your port. After all, we come all the way here every time, which is not easy. It is more convenient to have a military base here. We also hope to build an airport on land so that our navy's fighter planes can rest on land. Don't worry, our navy will pay a large sum of money for everything. In fact, it is just the consumption of our navy in your city. This will bring your tourism revenue to a higher level.”
Qiu Daxin's face gradually turned cold.
The canal has been built. Seeing that they can't stop the construction of the canal, the Americans simply want to pick the fruit directly. They want to station troops here and use it as their back garden!
"I'm sorry, Mr. Swift." Qiu Daxin said coldly: "We appreciate your good intentions, but if we can protect our own safety, we don't need your protection. We are different from Singapore. .”
After Singapore became independent, it was a tiny place. In order to protect themselves, they actively asked the United States to garrison troops. They set aside a large area in their tiny territory for the use of American troops. They even had to spend money to beg others to garrison troops. .
This kind of dedication paid off. When Siam began to build the canal, the United States strongly opposed it and even used force to force it. Now that the canal is built, the Americans continue to ask for troops.
Just kidding, even if you didn't do it yourself, you must have provided support from behind, and now you've come to me for cooperation? Qiu Daxin is not a coward either.
For any sovereign country, being garrisoned is a shame!
Swift's face also turned cold: "You don't need our protection? Mr. Qiu Daxin, aren't you afraid that bullets will continue to be fired from somewhere?"
"I'm afraid, very afraid, but I will never compromise. If I die, my assistant will take over my job and continue to implement my policies. Moreover, if I die, then the whole country will know that I am I was killed by someone. If my successor wants to cooperate with the person who harmed me, then we have to see if the people of the country agree!" Qiu Daxin said: "If conspiracy and assassination can make a country surrender, then this country You deserve to be enslaved!"
Qiu Daxin’s words were so impassioned that Swift stood there stunned for a long time without speaking. He was silent for a moment, and then stood up: “In this case, I can only say I’m sorry.”
Seeing Swift leave, Qiu Daxin sat back on the chair and found that his back was completely soaked.
“Call Rakul over here!”
Rakul was talking to him originally. After Swift arrived, Rakul was waiting next door. Now after coming here, she heard about Swift's request and her face was very ugly: "Humph, they went too far. , the assassination attempt on you failed, and now they are asking for garrison troops, they are too overbearing, we absolutely cannot agree!"
"Yes, we absolutely cannot agree to it, but from now on, I will not be able to sleep well, and I will have to beware of assassinations everywhere at any time."
Rakul shook his head: "No, the Americans are just scaring people. They should know the consequences of assassinating you. Moreover, after the last failed assassination, your approval rate rose to more than 95%, and almost everyone Consider you a hero of Siam."
Qiu Daxin's face was still ugly: "Yes, I am a hero now, so I absolutely cannot compromise under the pressure of the Americans, but you should also know that I don't want to be a hero who is admired by others in a portrait. .I still have a lot to do.”
"This is easy. We can go to Dongfang to find Mr. Qin and ask Dongfang to come forward and train a group of the most professional bodyguards. We can even invite their bodyguards to come over to protect your safety."
Lakul has great trust in Dongfang and Qin Tao. At this time, the people around them are likely to be bribed, but Dongfang people will not, because this is not in the interests of Dongfang people at all.
After the last ceremony, Mr. Qin went back. After all, Mr. Qin’s status was extraordinary and he could not die outside in a daze. If he wanted to find Mr. Qin now, he could only go and find him.
“Okay, you go see Mr. Qin again, we need Dongfang’s protection.”
Dongfang, Mingzhou Group Headquarters.
"President Qin, you have come back at the right time. The Fahd aircraft carrier we built for Goudahu will be launched in the near future. This is the most technologically advanced aircraft carrier we have built. Goudahu is still our closest ally. It would be best for you to receive the big dog owners and participate in the launching ceremony together." Yang Dawei said to Qin Tao immediately after seeing him.
"Well, this is a very important project. Of course I have to participate. After it is launched into the water, the outfitting must be carried out as soon as possible."
"clear."
Qin Tao stood at the window of the office and looked at the lively scene on the other side of the slipway.
Mingzhou Group’s construction speed is amazing. The construction period is almost half that of the West, which fully reflects the speed of the East. Moreover, Goudahu’s aircraft carrier has many innovations.
The left side jumps to the deck and the right side stops, which is completely different from the conventional angled deck layout. Only Dongfang can come up with this plan!
Qin Tao is still a little complacent.
"Mr. Qin, we just received the latest news." Xu Zhengyang came over: "The Americans went to Qiu Daxin and asked to station troops in Siam."
“Really? Did Qiu Daxin agree?”
"No, he refused. After all, he had just been shot and now he is coming to ask for garrison. If Qiu Daxin agreed, he would be a loser. This shooting was arranged just right." Xu Zhengyang sighed with emotion.
Qin Tao smiled: "The Americans are too shameless. Assassination will not change history, it can only be nailed to the pillar of shame in history. Next, they should seek our help, and I will leave this matter to you. Okay, you make perfect security measures for them without any omissions."
Xu Zhengyang nodded: "No problem. It's just a good time to find something to do for my comrades in arms."
When Lakul came over, Qin Tao received him warmly.
"Oh, there is no other way. I originally planned to stay in Siam for a few more days, but after my superiors heard about that incident, they wouldn't let me stay for a moment. They had to let me come back immediately. Their target was Qiu Taxin. It's not me, it's really a fight between gods, and the kid will suffer." Qin Tao was a little helpless.
"Yes, Mr. Qin, we are the ones who have caused trouble for you. However, this matter is not over yet. The Americans have threatened us again, asking us to listen to them and station troops there." Rakul said: "Of course we won't agree, so we're here to ask you for help. Our security work is very difficult!"
"Your affairs are our affairs." Qin Tao said: "If you need it, we can send our security personnel to help you strengthen your defense force."
“Really? That’s great!” Lakul was overjoyed.
“Secretary Xu, please arrange this matter and come up with a detailed plan as soon as possible.”
“Yes.” Xu Zhengyang nodded.
"The Americans use barbaric and crude methods to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. They will definitely not end well." Qin Tao said: "If they hit a wall with you, they will definitely go to Ah San again, and maybe they will come back again." What tricks will you use?"
"Humph, the most they can do is to hold a joint military exercise. If they want to hold it, we can also do it. We invite the Eastern Navy to come to our place and hold military exercises together. In the future, it can be fixed once a year. If you want If we can send an aircraft carrier over, that would be even better!"
The Americans wanted to oppress them, but they refused to agree, but they actively invited the friendly East.
"The aircraft carrier is not used for the time being. After all, this kind of warship has had too much impact in the past. However, there is no problem in dispatching two Aegis warships to participate in your exercises together." Qin Tao said: "It is even possible to join our **** formation. Conduct drills when you come or return."
"Okay, then let's just fix it like this!" Qiu Daxin said: "Mr. Qin, the canal has been opened, and our navy is in urgent need of expansion so that we can better protect our interests. We hope that you can give it as soon as possible. We build warships."
“It’s easy to say, we can build it for you when the slipway is freed up.”
While Qin Tao and Lakul were discussing, Swift also came to Asan's capital again.
“You must pay attention to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.” Swift went straight to the topic without any nonsense.
Asan is a traditional mainland country with only a few overseas islands. The Andaman Islands is one of them. It is located between the Bay of Bengal and the Sea of Myanmar in the east. It is arranged in a long string from north to south, with a total of more than 300 islands. Parts are volcanoes and hills, with curved harbors and numerous waterways.
To the east of these islands is the Isthmus of Kra, which is like a throat that can not only lock the Strait of Malacca, but also the Isthmus of Kra! Lock the Kra Canal!
