Chapter 1212

.

Shi Lei had always thought of himself as a rich man, and had always regarded himself as a rich man. Especially when Shi Lei wanted to order a private jet, which was an absolute luxury, and the best private jet.

However, after Mu Shuang's calculations, Shi Lei realized that he was extremely poor!

The entire Mirui Technology Group had about 055 million USD in liquid funds that could be freely used. Perhaps 055 million USD was indeed an astronomical number for ordinary people, a number that they could not even imagine.

However, 055 million USD was not a large number for the current Mirui Technology Group. After all, Mirui Technology Group owed 8 billion USD to Rongcheng City, and Shi Lei also owed 8 billion USD to Rongcheng Military District.

Shi Lei's debt was the acquisition fee for the Lin 'an Underground Base. This fee needed to be paid off within five years, but Shi Lei did not plan to pay it back for the time being. Now, his cooperation with Rongcheng Military District was simply as sweet as honey. The problem of debt was also consciously ignored by Rongcheng Military District.

"Shuangshuang, you just said that you need 6 billion USD to buy a communication research company. What is this about?" Shi Lei asked. 6 billion USD investment was not a small amount.

Why had Shi Lei not heard of this investment?

Mu Shuang explained, "Shi Lei, didn't you tell me to pay attention to new communication companies?"

Shi Lei nodded. There was indeed such a thing. This was because The First Light, Iron Ship, Shadow Dragon, Land Combat System, and the armed unmanned patrol boat were too suppressed by communication.

Except for The First Light, the rest of the remote-controlled war machines would lose 45% of their combat power once they lost their communication signal. Therefore, in order to avoid the situation of losing the signal, Shi Lei hoped to obtain a new communication method.

Although the mainstream method of global communication was still radio waves. Although radio waves had various shortcomings, such as insufficient penetration, easy to be affected by natural weather, easy to lose the content carried, and so on, radio waves were still the mainstream method of global communication.

This was because the advantages of radio wave communication were too obvious. As an ancestral communication method, there were a lot of devices around the world that were based on radio wave communication. They had already formed a complete system.

In addition, the radio wave communication technology was mature and the cost was low, so it satisfied the needs of most users. Therefore, the radio wave communication method became the mainstream communication method in the world.

But mainstream was just mainstream, it didn't mean that it had high performance!

Just like the war between the X31 framework and the RISC framework, although RISC had more advantages, the X31 framework had more users and a wider application ecosystem.

Therefore, the RISC framework lost without a doubt!

In the field of communication, radio wave communication was the most widely used method, but it could not satisfy Shi Lei's needs. Shi Lei hoped to obtain a more efficient communication plan to ensure the stability of communication. Therefore, Shi Lei did ask Mu Shuang to pay attention to companies related to the new communication technology.

Whether it was neutrino communication technology or quantum entanglement communication technology, both could satisfy Shi Lei's needs. Shi Lei more or less had some understanding of the two communication methods.

Quantum entanglement communication technology, in fact, should be called quantum teleportation, was indeed achieved by using 'quantum entanglement' technology. However, quantum teleportation was not mature yet. Even in the future, the furthest transmission distance was only sixteen kilometers. Although Shi Lei was not too clear about some of the complicated technical terms, Shi Lei knew that quantum teleportation technology could not be applied at all.

However, neutrino communication technology was more in line with Shi Lei's needs!

Neutrinos were a type of lepton smaller than electrons. They were one of the most basic ions in nature. The mass of neutrinos was very small. The scientific community had not detected it for the time being. It was only divided into two schools of thought. One school of thought said that the mass of neutrinos was less than one-millionth of an electron, while the other school of thought said that neutrinos did not have the so-called static mass. As for what exactly neutrinos were, the scientific community had yet to fully explore them.

Neutrino communication technology had many excellent characteristics.

First, the transmission speed was fast! The speed of neutrinos was close to the speed of light. There was almost no macroscopic difference between the speed of light and the speed of light. This guaranteed that neutrino communication technology would have almost no delay problems inside the planet.

Second, the penetration ability was strong! Based on the basic characteristics of neutrinos of small mass, no electricity, and fast speed, the penetration ability of neutrinos was very strong. A thick metal wall with a strong radio wave blocking ability was completely child's play for neutrinos. There was no blocking problem at all. This was because there were still a lot of gaps between the molecules. As neutrinos with a mass less than one-millionth of an electron, they could easily pass through these gaps without losing energy.

Even experiments in the scientific community proved that neutrinos, from one end of the Earth, directly penetrated the entire core of the Earth and came to the other end of the Earth. There would still be no problem with the information carried, and neutrino communication could not be blocked.

Third, the transmission distance was far! Based on the first and second advantages, neutrino communication had a very long transmission distance. This technology could be used for communication between planets without interference.

For the current situation of the Mira Technology Group, neutrino communication technology would completely meet their needs. Moreover, neutrino communication also had one of the biggest advantages.

That was, the neutrino communication technology had completely entered the field of practicality. It was not just a theory that could only be experimented on and could not be applied in practice.

Neutrino communication technology had quietly matured as early as the 6435s. In 6439, the nuclear-powered submarines of Lijian Province carried out secret operations in the deep sea. They used neutrino communication technology to ensure their contact with the military of Lijian Province.

If it was not neutrino communication, could it be radio wave communication? Seawater was definitely a nightmare for radio wave communication. The blocking effect of seawater was very, very powerful!

"Shuangshuang, have you investigated the specific situation of the other party's two communication technologies?" Shi Lei asked solemnly. Although the two technologies were very excellent, this kind of cutting-edge technology could also be a scam.

Mu Shuang replied with certainty, "Shi Lei, the other party is a high-tech research company in Lijian Province. They had been betting on the order of Lijian Province's Ministry of Defense, but the technology they developed did not get the favor of Lijian Province's Ministry of Defense. Now the company is on the verge of a predicament. So, we have the opportunity to take over. However, it's not just us. There are two competitors. In terms of authenticity, don't worry. "

"Which two competitors?" Shi Lei asked in surprise.

"The first is Voisin's NTT, and the other is ATT." Mu Shuang named the two giants in the telecommunications industry.

NTT was Voisin's telephone and telegraph company. NTT was established in 6421 and was one of the world's largest telecommunications companies. It was a giant in the industry with a market value of more than 25 billion US dollars.

Because NTT was a real listed company, its market value was real and effective. It was not the market value of Mirage Technology Group.

ATT was a local company in Lijian Province. Its full name was Lijian Province's telephone and telegraph company. Compared to NTT, ATT was more powerful! In the telecommunications industry, it was the big brother among the giants.

Founded in 6322, ATT had a long history. In 7552, ATT's turnover was close to 675 billion US dollars. One could imagine how powerful this company was.

Shi Lei was no stranger to these two companies. After all, in his previous life journey, Shi Lei had tried to steal data from these two companies, but he had failed in the end.

"Uh, Shuangshuang, do we have a chance to beat these two companies?" Shi Lei asked worriedly. These two companies were both giants. It was not wrong to call them oligarchs. Dream Entertainment's 6 billion US dollars was nothing in their eyes.

Especially last year, in 7551, ATT had spent 35 billion US dollars to acquire BellSouth. If ATT Corporation wanted to acquire neutrino communication technology, once they made their move, then Mirui Technology Group would not be their opponent.

Mu Shuang replied helplessly, "Shi Lei, we don't have the advantage. Whether it is NTT or ATT, they are very interested in neutrino and quantum communication. They are also willing to pay a high price. However, the current situation is that DIP Communications Research is still hopeful. They continue to contact the Ministry of National Defense of Lijian Province, hoping to get an order from the Ministry of National Defense. Therefore, our three companies have not reached an agreement with DIP for the time being. "

Shi Lei rolled his eyes and asked, "Shuangshuang, what kind of order does DIP Communications Research want from the Ministry of National Defense of Lijian Province?"

Mu Shuang knew what Shi Lei was thinking. "Shi Lei, don't think too much. That order is not something we can control. Lijian Province's elite troops are preparing to change their communication plans. DIP Communications Research wants a share of the profits. If they succeed, they can get an order of at least 85 billion US dollars. We can't interfere at all. "

"Ugh!" Shi Lei sighed. No wonder DIP Communications Research was clinging onto Lijian Province's Ministry of National Defense. If it was an order of 85 billion US dollars, DIP Communications Research might be able to get a profit of 65 billion US dollars.

Trying to buy a company with a potential profit of ten billion USD with one billion USD was definitely too difficult!

Shi Lei was short of money now!

He had to think of a way to get a large amount of money as soon as possible so that he could win the battle against the NTT brothers!
