After listening to Minister Li's words, Zhang Yi said happily: "Minister Li, you are welcome to order various ships from our Qicai Stone Group. Our Qicai Shipbuilding Industry of Qicai Stone Group has been able to build any ship under 10,000 tons.

, at the same time, our Qicai Shipbuilding Industry is currently building a large-scale shipyard on the coast of Jiangnan Province. Once our shipyard is completed, then our Qicai Shipbuilding Industry Group will be able to manufacture any ship including a hundred thousand tons.

An aircraft carrier with the above displacement!”

"Really! Mr. Zhang! That's great. Our military was still discussing some time ago and wanted to order warships with a larger displacement to your Colorful Stone Group. However, considering that your Colorful Stone Group has not been able to build thirteen thousand

We have no choice but to give up the shipyard for ships with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons. However, it seems that we are overly worried. We did not expect that your Qicaishi Group has already begun to build a large shipyard.

I wonder, Mr. Zhang! When will the shipyard of your Qicai Shipbuilding Industry be completed?" Minister Li said.

"Minister Li! The shipyard that our Qicaishi Group is building along the coast was originally acquired from a large private shipyard in our Dahua Empire. It only needs a slight transformation, so in a month or two, it will be ready.

This shipyard will have the conditions to start construction!" Zhang Yi said.

"Okay! That's great. In that case, after I go back this time, I will definitely take this matter up." Minister Li said.

Later, after Zhang Yi and Minister Li finished talking about the ship, they then talked about the Q1 engine produced by their Colorful Stone Group.

"Mr. Zhang! Our military is very satisfied with the products produced by your Colorful Stone Group, not just ocean survey ships. Even the Q1 engine provided by your Colorful Stone Group, our military is also very satisfied with its performance, regardless of

Which aircraft is it? As long as it is installed with the Q1 engine of your Colorful Stone Group, the overall performance will be greatly improved. However, because the engine of your Colorful Stone Group is so good, ordinary aircraft cannot fly at all.

Take advantage of the performance of this engine.

After all, the materials and structural strength of ordinary aircraft cannot withstand the strong performance of this engine, so it can only be installed on some aircraft made of special materials."

Zhang Yi nodded and said, "The Q1 engine is indeed the best aviation engine in the world. Although our Qicaishi Group has begun mass production of this engine, the number of attacks purchased by your military is still a little less.

For example, this year, the total quantity of this engine purchased by your military from us is less than 500 units. You must know that as the production line of this engine of our Colorful Stone Group begins to operate, the total annual output of this engine will be

More than 1,000 units, and the maximum can even reach 5,000 units per year."

After listening to Zhang Yi's words, Minister Li also sighed, and then said slowly: "Mr. Zhang, there is nothing we can do about this. The cost of your engine is really too high, and the ordinary fighter planes of the Air Force cannot fly at all."

It is impossible to equip this engine, so we must re-develop an air force fighter that can suit this engine. The time and money required are absolutely astronomical, so until the new fighter is developed, we can only purchase a small amount.

This is your motive."

"Minister Li, I wonder if the military has started developing new fighter jets? How much does it cost? How many aircraft are ready to be equipped? How long will it take? Of course, if this violates the confidentiality system, Minister Li doesn't need to say anything!" Zhang Yi

I asked after thinking for a while.

"Mr. Zhang, if someone else asks about this matter, according to discipline, I definitely can't tell you. But Mr. Zhang, you are different. With your current confidentiality level, I can tell you.

The Air Force fighter aircraft we are currently developing has a research cost of about 5 billion. Since we already have the motivation, we save a lot of trouble in the research and development. In addition, we have previous experience in developing the No. 20 aircraft, which costs 5 billion.

Research expenses of around 100 million are enough.

Without the previous experience in researching the No. 20 aircraft, a new fighter aircraft like this would not be developed at all without more than 100 million yuan. Moreover, even after it is developed, according to our estimates, the cost of the fighter aircraft will be at least 500 million yuan.

Above, or even more, as to how many aircraft will be equipped by then? It is not yet clear within our military, but one thing is certain, if the cost is less than 500 million, then the military will

If the cost of equipment is more than 500 million, then the number of equipment will definitely not exceed 200, and the higher the price, the smaller the quantity of equipment will be," Minister Li said.

"Minister Li, the development cost of the new fighter jet is too high. At the same time, the cost of production and manufacturing in the future will also be quite high. If our Qicai Stone Group is allowed to develop it, I can guarantee that the research cost will never exceed 2 billion. At the same time,

, even after it is developed in the future, we will be sure to control the cost within one or two billion." Zhang Yi said.

Hearing this, Minister Li and Shi Haiming's eyes lit up, and they looked at Zhang Yi with some surprise. After all, according to their understanding of the Colorful Stone Group, Zhang Yi would definitely not say this easily if they were not absolutely sure.

Although Minister Li said before that they expected the price of developing a new fighter aircraft to be around 5 billion, even after it is developed, the cost of each aircraft will definitely exceed 500 million, but this is only an estimate. In reality, here

The money spent above will definitely be far less than this.

For example, after it is developed, the cost of each fighter plane will be around 500 million. However, in fact, with other additional items, the cost of each fighter will definitely be far higher than this price, and may even exceed 600 million.

Even today's Great China Empire, the world's largest economy, cannot afford such expensive fighter planes.

After all, the Great China Empire is not a beautiful country that strives for global hegemony. The Great China Empire only needs to ensure that its own interests are not violated, so the number of equipment will not be too much.

Taking the No. 20 fighter as an example, the total number of them in the entire Dahua Empire is only a few dozen.

Of course, if the same money can buy better and more things, the military of the Great China Empire will certainly be very happy.

And now their Colorful Stone Group proposes that if they form a group to research the Colorful Stone, the research cost will be one-fifth or even lower than what they researched on their own. At the same time, even the future cost will be reduced to that of an ordinary fighter.

level, that is, the cost is less than 200 million US dollars. You must know that Zhang Yi is talking about Dahua Emperor coins, not US dollars! And if it is converted into US dollars, then the cost of each aircraft can definitely be controlled below 50 million US dollars. This
Chapter completed!
