224: Chapter 224: Placing an order for 600 billion yuan worth of arms

The fourth model is the "War Tiger" Type III jet bomber.

It has an empty weight of 58,500 kilograms, a maximum takeoff weight of 120,000 kilograms, and a payload capacity of 14,000 kilograms.

It has a range of 98,000 kilometers and a combat radius of 4,200 kilometers.

The system price is 480 million yuan, with supporting bombs at 1.2 million yuan per set, which includes conventional aerial bombs of various models and specifications.

The fifth model is the "War Tiger" Type IV jet bomber.

It has an empty weight of 62,500 kilograms, a maximum takeoff weight of 136,000 kilograms, and a payload capacity of 16,000 kilograms.

It has a range of 108,000 kilometers and a combat radius of 4,800 kilometers.

The system price is 540 million yuan, with supporting bombs at 1.8 million yuan per set, which includes conventional aerial bombs of various models and specifications.

The sixth model is the "War Tiger" Type V jet bomber.

It has an empty weight of 68,500 kilograms, a maximum takeoff weight of 148,000 kilograms, and a payload capacity of 18,000 kilograms.

It has a range of 12,000 kilometers and a combat radius of 5,500 kilometers.

The system price is 600 million yuan, with supporting bombs at 2 million yuan per set, which includes conventional aerial bombs of various models and specifications.

Li Yi felt that not many countries would purchase the "War Tiger" series of bombers, so he did not intend to buy too many, lest they fail to sell.

On the other hand, the "Eagle" series of fighters could be purchased in large quantities; for many countries, they were suitable for equipment and could better protect their own airspace.

After some consideration, Li Yi placed orders through the Multiverse Arms Trading System for 2,000 "Eagle" Type IV multi-role jet fighters, 2,000 "Eagle" Type V multi-role jet fighters, and 1,500 "Eagle" Type VI multi-role jet fighters.

He also ordered 200 "War Tiger" Type III jet bombers, 120 "War Tiger" Type IV jet bombers, and 120 "War Tiger" Type V jet bombers.

After this round of purchases, the total expenditure reached 552.8 billion yuan. At this point, the arms Li Yi had purchased from the Multiverse Arms Trading System exceeded 1 trillion yuan. A new interface popped up displaying restricted purchasing conditions.

"Unlock only after purchasing more than 5 trillion yuan in arms; please select weapons to purchase to meet the conditions."

To think it required purchasing over 5 trillion yuan to continue unlocking new weaponry; it seemed like a long road ahead.

Li Yi did not dwell on it and proceeded directly to check the details of the newly unlocked "Sky Dome" anti-satellite missile.

"Sky Dome" Anti-Satellite Missile System.

It is equipped with long, medium, and short-range interceptor missiles. The long-range interceptor missile can destroy targets within 2,800 kilometers and below an altitude of 1,600 kilometers.

The medium-range interceptor missile can eliminate targets within 1,800 kilometers and below an altitude of 1,000 kilometers.

The short-range interceptor missile is used to destroy targets within 800 kilometers and below an altitude of 350 kilometers.

It can be said that it can intercept the vast majority of communication satellites, surveillance satellites, military early warning satellites, etc., sweeping up all kinds of satellites deployed globally for all-around and all-weather reconnaissance.

The system price for the "Sky Dome" Anti-Satellite Missile System is 20 billion yuan per set, with long-range interceptor missiles at 100 million yuan each, medium-range interceptor missiles at 60 million yuan each, and short-range interceptor missiles at 10 million yuan each.

In order to destroy the jamming satellites over Israel and ensure that the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile and other weaponry would not be interfered with by satellites, this purchase of arms seemed unavoidable.

As for whether to pass this arms expense on to Saudi Arabia, Li Yi considered it and concluded that Saudi Arabia would likely not be willing to purchase the "Sky Dome" Anti-Satellite Missile System. After all, Saudi Arabia had no satellite launch capability at all, so naturally, they would not need anti-satellite missiles.

With this expenditure, it would be better to buy more Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile units. Satellite jamming was not constant, so they could use a larger number of anti-aircraft missiles for interception, which would surely shoot down Israel's fighter jets eventually.

However, Li Yi could not watch the jamming satellites affect the reputation of his arms deals. It seemed he would have to fund the purchase of the "Sky Dome" Anti-Satellite Missile System himself, shoot down the jamming satellites, and consider it as providing after-sales service.

Li Yi placed an order through the Multiverse Arms Trading System for one set of the "Sky Dome" Anti-Satellite Missile System, 100 long-range interceptor missiles, 500 medium-range interceptor missiles, and 1,000 short-range interceptor missiles. The total cost was 70 billion yuan.

After this shopping spree, the remaining funds in the Multiverse Arms Trading System still exceeded 1 trillion yuan, with a specific balance of 1,213,864,178,503 yuan. Since there were still plenty of funds, Li Yi did not intend to convert his stored mineral resources into system funds.

After purchasing the "Sky Dome" Anti-Satellite Missile System, Li Yi immediately used the Multiverse Arms Trading System to teleport to a desolate, uninhabited area in the Tih Desert on the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt.

Seeing that there was no one around, Li Yi immediately extracted the "Sky Dome" Anti-Satellite Missile System from the Multiverse Arms Trading System, and soon, a significant amount of equipment appeared in the area.

Li Yi operated the "Sky Dome" Anti-Satellite System to search for data on satellites flying over Israel. A dense number of satellites appeared on the screen, and Li Yi had to filter out data on satellites other than those belonging to the USA and Israel, which immediately reduced the number of satellites significantly.

According to the analysis data provided by the "Sky Dome" Anti-Satellite System, all the satellites transmitting jamming signals into Israel were military communication satellites from the USA, and the USA's Starlink satellite program provided communication support, assisting in the ground interference.

It seemed that for the sake of the reputation of the weapons he sold, he needed to destroy all these USA satellites over Israel.

According to the statistics of the "Sky Dome" Anti-Satellite System, there were many USA satellites participating in transmitting jamming signals: 28 satellites within the range of long-range interceptor missiles, 240 satellites within the range of medium-range interceptor missiles, and 860 satellites within the range of short-range interceptor missiles.

Seeing so many satellites working together to affect his arms deals, Li Yi decisively issued the order to destroy them, programmed the destruction sequence, and pressed the button to launch the anti-satellite missiles.

Soon, the scene of numerous missiles launching appeared in the Tih Desert, with various models of anti-satellite missiles being launched into space at an average rate of one interceptor missile per second.

Many satellites far away in space, under the attack of one interceptor missile after another, were struck and exploded into fragments before they could even prepare to adjust their orbits, meeting their end.

The launch lasted for nearly twenty minutes, dyeing the Tih Desert in a crimson glow. With the launch of the final short-range interceptor missile, it suddenly became quiet again.

Li Yi checked the satellite data over Israel again through the "Sky Dome" Anti-Satellite System; there were far fewer satellites now, and they no longer appeared dense.

According to the analysis by the "Sky Dome" Anti-Satellite System, there were still a small number of satellites transmitting jamming signals into Israel; it seemed the cleanup was not yet complete.
