After listening to Zhang Yi's words, Mr. Qin did not speak, but started discussing softly with another junior high-level student in warship and ship design who was hired by Zhang Yi.

Although this top student who was discussing with Mr. Qin was not as old as Mr. Qin in grade and looked about forty years old, Zhang Yi knew that his real age was older than what he looked like.

Much older, almost sixty, this junior high school student in ship design is named Jiang He.

The two of them discussed for nearly half an hour before ending the discussion. It was only at this time that Mr. Qin said: "Mr. Zhang, we have no problem with the design of these two ships, and we can also meet the requirements you mentioned.

, with the current scientific and technological strength of our Colorful Stone Group, although there are some shortcomings in some aspects.

For example, in terms of large ship engines, our Qicaishi Group has no research in this area, but if we purchase these things from outside, then our Qicaishi Group will have no problem building these two military ships.

However, the construction time may be relatively long. This frigate has a displacement of less than 3,000 tons, so it may take three months to complete. The survey ship has a displacement of 7,000 to 8,000 tons and is also technologically advanced.

It’s very complex, so it will take at least a year to put it into service.”

After listening to Mr. Qin's words, Zhang Yi thought for a moment and nodded to express his approval.

Because building warships is not building other ships, three months to build an advanced frigate is already a very short time, and this also includes the time to design the frigate.

Although the Dahua Empire now has many types of relatively advanced frigates, Zhang Yi does not intend to use the existing drawings of the Dahua Empire to manufacture the frigate manufactured by the Qicai Stone Group, but plans to redesign it.

payment.

Moreover, Zhang Yi is preparing to use the photonic chips and photonic components developed by his Colorful Stone Group for the electronic components and chips on this frigate. At the same time, Zhang Yi is preparing to carry out key protection for all the power equipment on this warship.

, this frigate can maintain normal working conditions in harsh sea conditions or electromagnetic environments. Even under the attack of electromagnetic pulse weapons, the equipment and instruments on the frigate can work normally.

As for the survey ship, it took a year to build, and he was not disappointed, because he knew that the difficulty of building a survey ship was definitely not comparable to that of building a frigate.

Not to mention anything else, the difference in tonnage alone is already very large. The tonnage of the frigate required by the Dahua Empire's military is only less than 3,000 tons. However, the tonnage requirement of this survey ship must be more than 7,000 tons.

Under 8,000 tons, a warship of this tonnage would only take a month or two to design. This is based on the abilities of the academic masters Zhang Yi hired from the system. If ordinary people are allowed to design

If so, such a survey ship would only take a few years or even longer, so there is no need to think about it.

Therefore, it is already very remarkable to design and manufacture a seven to eight thousand ton measuring ship in one year, not to mention that they plan to use photonic components and photonic chips to replace all the electronic equipment on this measuring ship.

At the same time, all the computers above are also preparing to use photon computers, so one year is definitely very fast.

"Okay, Mr. Qin! I understand. Our Colorful Stone Group will fully cooperate with the construction of this frigate. At the same time, for the power systems of these two warships, I plan to use the electric comprehensive propulsion system used by the international mainstream advanced ships.

, I hope you can take it into consideration when designing. As for the large marine main thrust motor used on battleships, I think that in a while, our Colorful Stone Group will be able to successfully develop it, so you don’t have to worry. At the same time,

For the various equipment that this warship needs to purchase, the shipyard can directly place orders with the major military factories in the Dahua Empire, and they will deliver it to us as quickly as possible," Zhang Yi said.

"Okay, Mr. Zhang! If we follow the requirements you mentioned before, Mr. Zhang, the cost of building this frigate alone will be as high as more than 2 billion. This does not include the various weapons on this frigate. If we add the weapons

If so, the cost of building this frigate will be at least 3.5 billion. Mr. Zhang, please be mentally prepared.

As for the price of the survey ship, it will be even higher. According to my preliminary estimate, the cost of the entire survey ship will be as high as five to six billion, or even more." After listening to Zhang Yi's words, Mr. Qin paused for a moment, and then,

Still spoke.

Although the current Qicai Stone Group has strong financial strength, and at the same time, the Qicai Stone Group's earning power is unmatched by other companies, but for the high cost of these two warships, he feels that it should be negotiated with Zhang Yi

Talk about it and let him be mentally prepared.

The cost of building these two warships may be very high, and Zhang Yi has actually been prepared for it.

But after listening to Mr. Qin's words, he was still shocked. He had never imagined that the cost of building just these two battleships would be so high, especially the cost of the frigate.

You must know that among the existing frigates of the Dahua Empire, the highest cost is only about 2 billion, and this includes all kinds of weapons on the frigates. At the same time, their tonnage is much larger than the warship of their Colorful Stone Group.

Got it

As for the cost of the survey ship, he had already prepared for a big hemorrhage in his heart, because the construction of the survey ship was very difficult. According to some people, the difficulty of manufacturing the survey ship was even more difficult than that of the aircraft carrier.

It must be bigger. If he didn't have the academic recruitment system in his hands, which can hire academics whose abilities are comparable to those of the top technicians, he would never touch this kind of surveying ship that combines high-precision technology.

After all, the main purpose of survey ships is to track, measure and control various types of launch vehicles, aerospace equipment, and missile satellites. Now there are only a handful of countries in the world that can manufacture survey ships.

One can imagine how difficult it is.

Because the ocean survey ship must condense the survey base covering several square kilometers or even larger into one survey ship, and it must be effectively configured so that it can exert all the functions of the ground survey base, and at the same time, the survey ship must also

To maintain a state of calm on rough seas.

As we all know, survey ships are important equipment for tracking, measuring, and controlling aerospace instruments. The various instruments used on them are naturally the top scientific and technological instruments in the aerospace industry, and various equipment used in aerospace science and technology have extremely high precision requirements.

, so the cost is very high, and the environmental requirements for use are also extremely stringent.

Even if it is used on land, it has very high requirements for the surrounding environment, air, weather, humidity, transportation, etc., not to mention the ocean environment with undulating waves, violent vibrations, high salt and high humidity, so naturally

There are extremely high requirements for measuring the hull of the ship, which can even be said to be extremely demanding.

After all, once a survey ship goes to sea, it will definitely last for several months or even longer. However, during these months or even longer, it may be necessary to capture and track the first cosmic speed and the first cosmic speed.

The target of flying at the speed of two universes only lasts a few minutes or ten minutes. In such a short time, the opportunity is really missed. You can imagine the difficulty.

What's more, manufacturing a survey ship is also a very complex system. In addition to having all the structure, control, navigation, power and other systems that ordinary ocean-going ships need, it must also have a monitoring system that ordinary ocean-going ships do not have.

Of course, the monitoring system is also composed of many subsystems, such as photoelectric systems, wireless measurement and tracking systems, optical signal tracking systems, telemetry systems, remote control systems, sonar systems, signal transmission systems, and a series of subsystems.

.

At the same time, there cannot be any mutual interference between all subsystems.

It is precisely because of this that some people say that building a survey ship is even more difficult than introducing an aircraft carrier. After all, there are many countries in the world that are capable of building light aircraft carriers, but they can build ocean-going survey ships.

There are so many countries.

Therefore, Zhang Yi was not very surprised when Mr. Qin proposed that the construction of such a survey ship would require five to six billion dollars. He even felt that the price was much less than he expected.

Although the funds required to build these two warships are very large, they are still affordable for the Colorful Stone Group, so he said to Mr. Qin: "Okay! Mr. Qin! Please rest assured about the funds. Our Colorful Stone Group

The group is not short of money, I just want you to put quality first during construction."

However, at this time, a senior executive of the shipyard stood up and asked Zhang Yi: "Mr. Zhang, I am still a little worried. Of course, this is not a worry about funds, but about the technical capabilities of our shipyard."

Worry, after all, the difficulty of measuring ships is very clear to those of us who have been engaged in the shipbuilding industry for a long time.

After all, there are so many shipyards in the entire Dahua Empire, but there are only a few in the Dahua Empire that can build such high-tech ships.

Our shipyard has never manufactured even slightly larger warships in the past. Isn’t it inappropriate to boast such a big step all of a sudden? Even if these technicians who have just arrived have experience in building very large military ships, what if?

If the chain is dropped, the losses involved can be imagined.

So Mr. Zhang, should we be more cautious and take orders for some small and medium-sized military ships first, and then build similar ships after we have sufficient technology and experience?"

"No need, our Qicai Stone Group is very confident in the construction of the survey ship, not to mention what if it fails? Loss of tens or tens of billions is not a big deal to our Qicai Stone Group, even if it is
