Technology Bigshot

"Don't look at me, this is not what I thought of first, it was the idea proposed by director Lan Kun." Ren Hong smiled, and looked at Lan Kun beside him, who immediately gave in humbly.

At this time, General Gao raised another question, saying: "As the saying goes, there is no truly invincible existence in the world. Even if the aircraft carrier of the Whale Shark series is excellent and impeccable, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents. In the event of an irreversible disaster, how do the soldiers in the mothership escape? You know, it is thousands of meters deep on the seabed, and more than 60 hangars are all used to store fighter jets, so what about the escape cabin? Or is there no design at all?"

"There really isn't any escape pod." Ren Hong nodded and said.

"What did you say? This kind of low-level mistake." General Gao stared at Ren Hong for a moment, and the latter explained: "The absence of an escape cabin does not mean that there is no way to escape. How could the lives of soldiers not be taken into account? If it really happened In such an irreversible accident, the entire aircraft carrier will automatically be dismembered into 32 sections and spread around. There are emergency supplies inside that can be used by the escaped fighters to consume water and food for about three months. There is a set of emergency equipment inside. A distress signal was sent out to wait for the rescue team to carry out precise salvage according to the coordinates."

After hearing the explanation, General Gao said in amazement: "My good fellow, this keel can be dismembered into 32 sections? Even if there is an accident, it can save the lives of most soldiers."

Ren Hong added: "At the same time, each section has a self-destruct device."

General Gao pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "When necessary, sacrifice is necessary. I believe that our soldiers never lack the courage to sacrifice, in order to prevent technology from falling into the hands of others."

This kind of remarks seemed too heavy, Ren Hong immediately changed the subject, he pointed to the right, General Gao immediately looked along, Ren Hong said: "Please look at the 100-meter-high super gate in front, outside is the 400-meter-deep South China Sea In the sea area, looking at the huge gap on the opposite side of us, there is also a huge gate in the opposite wall. After the construction of the Whale Shark aircraft carrier is completed, the giant gate opposite us will block this place, and everyone will evacuate. Seawater will pour in from the water inlet at the bottom of the dock until the space is filled with seawater, then the Whale Shark aircraft carrier can sail into the South China Sea through the super gate in front, and after the seawater is discharged again, the dock can operate normally again."

Listening to the explanation, General Gao nodded again and again, "Advanced!"

"How much is the cost of this mothership? What a scary figure?" General Gao said, he was ready to accept an astronomical figure. More expensive means less equipment in the future. Subjectively, I hope not to Too expensive, but it is also clear that it is definitely not ordinary expensive.

Ren Hong looked at General Gao's slightly nervous expression, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh in his heart, faced his father-in-law, and finally replied seriously: "Compared to a small set of Republic Eagle, it costs more than 10 billion yuan. Dollar,

This big guy is really cheap. "

"How many?" General Gao asked curiously.

"23 billion U.S. dollars." Ren Hongdao mentioned the manufacturing cost, and quickly added: "But it does not include carrier-based aircraft, supplies and daily expenses for the mothership."

In Ren Hong's capricious opinion, judging by the size of the "Whale Shark" aircraft carrier, compared to the cost of the Republic Eagle, it is simply cheap. But General Gao has another idea. If 23 billion US dollars are converted into the currency of the Bank of China, the difference is no more than 150 billion. Compared with the current cost of the most advanced Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the United States, it is only 4.5 billion to 5 billion. billions of dollars.

One "Whale Shark Series" is worth five Nimitz aircraft carriers, which is really outrageously expensive.

Ren Hong also said: "Compared to the mothership, the carrier-based aircraft is a bit expensive. To equip the mothership with 100 arc light fighters, the average cost of each fighter is about 200 million U.S. dollars, which is about 20 billion U.S. dollars. According to the aircraft carrier It can be counted at 75 years of service. In terms of supplies and maintenance, the monthly expenditure of the whale shark system is about 100 million U.S. dollars, and the expenditure of 75 years of service is about 90 billion U.S. dollars. That is to say, if you want to raise a whale shark system In the 75 years of the aircraft carrier, the calculation of the cost price of the stage will cost about 133 billion U.S. dollars, which is the minimum investment, and if there is any loss of combat readiness, an additional calculation will be made.”

"The monthly expenditure is more than 600 million yuan? Are you sure you are not kidding me? The monthly expenditure of the Nimitz of the Americans is only more than 90 million yuan. The cost is five other than others, and the expenditure is six. Burning money, the Americans can't afford to keep a few ships." General Gao's head suddenly became dizzy when he heard this series of figures. Needless to say, I love this mothership, but the high cost and the huge amount of maintenance expenses are distasteful.

"Wummart, the price can never be cheap." Ren Hong shrugged slightly, and did not forget to remind: "One thing I have to remind you, this price is still the ex-factory price."

"How much do you want to sell for one?" General Gao said subconsciously.

"Look at your hurry. After all, the Dark Ax Project is a joint project between Matrix Technology and the country. Without the technical reference provided by 803 and the talents and materials provided by the country, it would not be possible to progress so smoothly. I don't even want to make money here, but You can’t lose money, right? The over 50 billion yuan spent on building the Dark Ax base, plus the over 100 billion yuan invested in the research and development of the Ming Ax Project, add up to nearly 170 billion U.S. dollars. I don’t know how long it takes to recover the cost. Don’t look at me The company's total annual revenue is comparable to that of Turkey in a year, but it burns money like no other in the world. The company's 7-year savings actually don't have a few copper coins left, and it started paying taxes last year. That's called a heartache

"What's the price, hurry up and let me know!" General Gao said dissatisfied.

Ren Hong immediately said a price, "It's absolutely fair, a Mothership earns you 1 billion, and an Arc Light earns you 2.5 billion. The unit is US dollars!"

When General Gao heard the figures, he was not happy on the spot, "Fart, it's like a lion's mouth. 100 arcs will take away 5 billion US dollars, a mothership will take 1 billion US dollars, and a one-time cost of 6 billion US dollars can be built. A 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, and you still want to be fair to me? Do you think everyone is as rich as you!"

"The money I burned was enough to build more than 30 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. Father-in-law, why don't you say this." Ren Hong quickly shot back.

"That's not okay, you are my son-in-law, even if you want to avoid suspicion." General Gao said.

Ren Hong: ""

Ren Hong was defeated in an instant. As the saying goes, when a scholar meets a soldier, there is no reason to explain it. General Gao looked at Ren Hong's deflated look, and laughed for a while, "Who swore in front of me at the beginning that I have enough money to burn, no problem, just pay it to me. Well, now you know the pain?"

Ren Hong: ""

General Gao ignored him, turned to look at Lin Wubin, and said, "Prepare a complete report for me immediately, and let me report the matter here myself."

"Yes, General!" Lin Wubin saluted, and immediately left to start preparations. General Gao looked at Ren Hong again, "Okay, don't play tricks on me, you boy. You have never been the one willing to suffer. It seems that the country has taken advantage of you. I'm afraid you will get more benefits. .”

"Well, father-in-law, how many ships do you think will be launched?" Ren Hong asked suddenly.

General Gao heard this, thought for a while, and reckoned: "I estimate that after this ship is officially launched into service, it will not ask you for new orders in the next three years. The equipment is quite good, but it is too expensive. Expenditure Not enough."

"Then which fleet will this mothership be assigned to?" Ren Hong asked again.

"Nonsense, of course it is the South China Sea under my jurisdiction. The Northern Fleet already has an aircraft carrier." General Gao said unambiguously. Thinking of this, he suddenly showed a deep smile. The big iron fish is no accident, it must be under my control, haha, Lao Li and the others want to wait a few more years, when Lao Li sees the whale shark system, he is looking at his aircraft carrier, probably like watching A pile of broken copper and rotten iron, must be aggrieved and mad, at the beginning I was frightened in front of me, but now I can finally fight back, hahaha"
