    Chapter 825 Palace in the Sky

    On November 25, the Dubai Air Show, which was supposed to be held every two years and was on a break this year, suddenly announced that it would hold a temporary exhibition. Although there were various rumors about Dubai's insolvency, the organizer, the Dubai Government, invited  Nowadays, the popular large multinational company Vitex Group is its platform, which immediately attracted the attention of all parties, especially the inauguration of the event by Yang Xing, the king of Vitex, which attracted a large number of spectators and journalists at the airport.

    The reason is none other than a piece of news announced by Forbes and other world-class media a few days ago.  After repeated calculations by many parties, after calculating the market value of the stock market and completing the privatization process of most of the subsidiaries of China Star Group, most of China Star Group, which now holds hundreds of billions of dollars in cash, has become Yang Xing¡¯s private property. The outside world estimates that his  With a net worth of more than 50 billion US dollars, he surpassed Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates, who is ranked the world's richest man, and investment guru Warren Buffett, who is closely followed, and has become the latest richest man in the world from the third richest man in the world.

    After the takeover war between Citibank and Chrysler, the world knew that the new richest man also led a large number of Chinese entrepreneurs to buy Western assets around the world, and the shouts of "The dragon is coming" were heard endlessly.  Nowadays, when the financial tsunami is still raging, Yang Xing represents the God of Wealth who rescues those in need. His every move will receive widespread attention. Now that he has made a high-profile appearance at the Dubai Air Show, the meaning behind this is worth exploring.  Thinking of the warm hospitality he received in Middle Eastern countries such as the United Arab Emirates, everyone is speculating whether he is preparing to save Dubai, which is in debt crisis.

    When a huge shadow on the sky covered everyone's sight at Dubai Airport, even though they had been notified long ago, people were still stunned by this engineering miracle in the history of aviation.  When this large, all-white aircraft landed slowly on the tarmac, all the aircraft around it were dwarfed by comparison. The largest civilian passenger aircraft, the Boeing 747, contrasted with it like a newborn ugly duckling and its beautiful and huge swan mother.  .  This huge aircraft is the An-225 "Dream", the world's largest transport aircraft developed by the former Soviet Union. As its nickname is, it is a behemoth that can only appear in dreams.

    During the Cold War, China, the United States and the Soviet Union competed for hegemony. Both sides tried to overpower the other in all aspects of the military field.  After World War II, the United States used its powerful air force to propose global strike and force arrival plans.  In order to transport U.S. troops to the combat scene as quickly as possible, the U.S. Air Force has developed a series of large transport aircraft such as C130, C141, C5, and C17. The most proud is the C5 strategic transport aircraft known as the "Galaxy", which can carry 130 tons of cargo and fly 4,000 kilometers at a time.  .

    Not to be outdone, the Soviet Union launched a tit-for-tat An-124 "Ruslan" aircraft, which can fly the same distance with 150 tons of cargo at a time.  The Soviet Antonov Design Bureau, which strives to surpass the United States, continued its efforts and cooperated with the former Soviet Union's "Buran" space shuttle project to design a larger transport aircraft. In 1985, it launched the most amazing work in the history of the world's aircraft, which will install  The size of the 124 is almost doubled that of the An-225 transport aircraft!

    The An-225¡¯s flight weight off the ground reaches 600 tons, making it the only aircraft in history with a payload exceeding 250 tons.  It can load 16 standard containers and 80 cars at one time. Its wingspan and length have set world records. There are no more than 30 airports in the world that allow it to take off and land. Its huge body attracts people as soon as it lands.  In the eyes of all viewers, any aircraft next to it looks like a bunch of toys compared to it, which makes people amazed by the design and manufacturing capabilities of the former Soviet aviation industry.

    "It's a pity that this aircraft was born at the wrong time. After it was finalized in 1988, it only transported the space shuttle a few times. In addition, it participated in various air shows and earned enough attention, but it was basically not put into practical use.  After the collapse of the Soviet Union, only one and a half of the aircraft were built, and they were lost in the long river of history.

    Until 2001, the United States led NATO troops to go to war in the hinterlands of Asia such as Iraq and Afghanistan. The ground transportation lines were too long and a large number of air transport aircraft were needed to transport war materials. The United States' own transport fleet was insufficient in capacity. At this time, Russia, whose relations with the West had greatly improved,  and Ukraine took the opportunity to use the An-124 Ruslan to form a leasing aircraft transportation company, specializing in transporting oversized and overweight materials for Western troops, with an annual profit of over 100 million US dollars. The enemies in the Cold War actually turned enemies into friends in this way, which made people sigh and at the same time make people sad.  Countries have noticed the huge role of super large strategic transport aircraft.

    Therefore, the An-225 Dream Transport Aircraft has once again been remembered by the world. The Ukrainian side of the aircraft has renovated it and frequently participated in major aviation exhibitions, hoping to attract the attention of interested people.  For China, which lacks air force strategic transportation capabilities, it is the focus of Ukraine's public relations. Even after the "Orange" occurred in the country, the government fully turned to the West, Ukraine still has no intention of giving up on China. "Dream" transport aircraft have flown to China six times.  I just want to sell it to China with all my strength.

    It¡¯s just that at this time, China has launched its own large aircraft program. Although it has absorbed a lot of Russian and Ukrainian technologies, it is basicallyAt present, it is mainly self-researched, and the purchase of a huge transport aircraft such as the An-225 is obviously a national strategy. Moreover, the unit price of the "Dream" transport aircraft offered by Ukraine is as high as 500 million U.S. dollars. The military is very hesitant about this.  Fortunately, at this time, Yang Xing stepped forward and proposed to purchase "Dream" transport aircraft in a private name, and carried out large-scale modernization of them at no expense.

    The current "dream" transport aircraft is the result of the transformation. The current president of Vimicro Capital, Welch, was the former president of General Electric, the world's three largest aircraft manufacturers. Now Vimicro has purchased a lot of supersonic business jets.  Universal aircraft engine.  Naturally, the engines of the "Dream" transport aircraft were all replaced with General Motors' most advanced high-power aero engines.  Not only has the speed increased by 10%, but its safety and service life have also been greatly improved, fully meeting ICAO standards. After using the latest technology to improve the landing gear, the "Dream" transport aircraft can now basically land at most national airports where Boeing 747s take off and land.  .

    In this way, this "Dream" transport aircraft is qualified to fly around the world as Yang Xing's car. What's more, although the "Dream" transport aircraft is huge, it used to be a military transport aircraft, which also means that the comfort is not good, but  Now that it is the car of the world's richest man, the interior decoration must not be shabby.  At the beginning, Zhang Shengli wanted to buy a Boeing bbj business jet to show off, so naturally Yang Xing couldn't lag behind.  Moreover, Yang Xing still wanted to be the savior of Dubai this time, so when he opened the cabin and let everyone enter to see the luxuriously modified interior decoration, even the rich men who were used to seeing luxurious scenes were dazzled.

    The "dream" cockpit is completely glass-based and information-based. The traditional complicated instrument panels of Soviet aircraft have been replaced by several large LCD screens. The flight operation is basically unmanned. In the past, the cab that only required six people to operate only required  Two people, or even just one pilot watching most of the time, can make this 600-ton behemoth fly more nimbly than a bird.  Yang Xing also proudly introduced that the remaining subsequent models of the "Dream" aircraft under construction will also use optical fiber information transmission and control. They will be the first aircraft in the world to use all-optical signals. They not only have strong anti-interference capabilities, but also can perform real-time  It receives satellite signals and becomes an important node in the "Prophet" network. It can communicate with Vimicro's terminals anytime and anywhere. Its communication capabilities are comparable to those of the US President's "Air Force One".

    The huge fuselage of the "Dream" aircraft is divided into two floors. The lower floor has a luxurious hall that can accommodate a hundred people. It is almost covered with gold. The paintings and sculptures embellished therein are priceless, and decorations such as gemstones and pearls are even more valuable.  It can be seen everywhere.  What's rare is that this kind of design does not show off the nouveau riche, but is organically combined, because all of this comes from the hands of the famous Italian brand Armani.

    As Yang Xing complied with his promise and handed over all the hotels in the Star Building to the master's design, as the Star Building became a world famous attraction, Armani opened up a new fashion field in addition to fashion design. For Yang Xing, this  The customer was very satisfied. Now Yang Xing proposed to turn the Dream Transport Aircraft into a flying "palace in the sky". The design master readily accepted his invitation and built the interior of the "Dream Transport Aircraft" beautifully.

    There are also several function rooms next to the dazzling hall, whether you want to watch blockbusters or play the latest simulated holographic dynamic games. In addition, what is even more amazing is the huge water tank at the rear of the aircraft.  This really "dreamy" thing is divided into two layers: an inner and an outer layer. The outer layer is filled with all kinds of colorful marine fish, and there are even small sharks and colorful jellyfish swimming around. It is like a small aquarium.  The inner layer is a transparent swimming pool. It is really pleasing to watch several beauties and beautiful fishes swimming together. Through the swimming pool, you can also see that there is a small stable behind, where five or six famous purebred horses are raised. The names are given to them.  Chiefs from various Middle Eastern countries came to visit.

    The upper floor of the plane was Yang Xing's private space, and no one was allowed to visit except the large office. Thinking of the rich man's reputation, everyone understood it and did not ask any questions.  This office is the core of the entire palace in the sky, so naturally it attracts the most attention.  The aviation metal above and around the office was replaced with a special transparent material.  When flying in the sky, it is like sitting directly on the clouds, and the light intensity in the office can be automatically adjusted according to the intensity of the sun. When Yang Xing waves his hand, various detection devices can also project video images directly into this room based on his somatosensory movements.  The "screen" around him is huge, and sitting in it really feels like having everything in the world in your hands.

    This kind of decoration that combines luxury and high technology makes the wealthy people in the Middle East excited. Someone quietly asked if they could buy it. Yang Xing smiled and said nothing. He just stretched out a finger and thought of his net worth. It was obviously not 100 million but  $1 billion!  It is truly a palace within a palace.

    I originally wanted to end this month, but I didn¡¯t expect that I would still have to postpone two chapters. This is the month in which I received the most monthly votes. Sure enough, there are benefits to finishing the book.
