Chapter 404 Battleship Launched
So, after listening to Wang Bin's promise, Chief Li nodded.
Then, Wang Bin and others chatted while watching the warship, waiting for the launch ceremony of the warship to begin.
Of course, since the tonnage of this warship reaches more than 5,500 tons, this warship is not a frigate, but a destroyer.
After chatting for a while, the time for the launch ceremony was coming.
So, amid the rumbling firecrackers, the huge warship slowly landed into the river. When the warship floated steadily in the river in front, the workers in the shipyard cheered loudly.
At the same time, the navy people were also very happy. After all, the successful launch of this warship means that the design of this warship does not have any major flaws.
Next is another important project of this warship, which is to conduct sea tests. However, the workers on Tiangong Shipping Industry were also very confident about the sea tests. After all, the manufacturing of this warship took Wang Bin a lot of thought!
With the successful launch of this warship, Chief Li was in a very happy mood at this time. He said to Wang Bin: "Mr. Wang! The warship you built looks very good in appearance, and the data performance of the design is also very outstanding and very advanced.
If this sea trial can be passed, our naval department may order one or two more ships.
However, Mr. Wang, although your warship is very advanced, its price is really high. Even if our naval department has some money now, we cannot order more such warships."
Wang Bin actually knew what Chief Li said, after all, the cost of this warship from Tiangong Shipping is indeed very high, and it has even reached the level of a 10,000-ton warship.
With such a high cost, it would be great for their naval department to order two ships from Tiangong Technology. If it weren't for the naval department and he valued this warship very much, then one ship might have despised it and it would be impossible to order a second ship.
The most important thing is that this is just an order for this year. If the navy department is very satisfied with the use of this warship, Wang Bin can be sure that he feels that there will be more orders every year.
In addition, the warships ordered by their naval department at Tiangong Technology are not just this kind of warships. In addition to this warship, don't forget that their naval department had ordered several frigates from Tiangong Technology before, and the cost of these frigates is not cheap. Because they use a large number of new technologies, the price is much higher than the frigates made by the official themselves.
.............
With the successful launch of the first real warship of Tiangong Technology and named it the Type 58 destroyer by the military, the sea trial of this destroyer also began with the successful launch. Therefore, although Wang Bin still maintained a high level of attention to this, after returning to Tiangong Technology, he put his energy back to Tiangong Technology.
Because, after the last time Qiu asked Wang Bin, the military has become very interested in it. At the same time, the military will also send people to Tiangong Technology to inquire about the development of the sixth-generation aircraft in the past few days.
According to Mr. Qiu, if their Air Force really thinks that Tiangong Technology has the ability to develop sixth-generation aircraft, the military is likely to issue R&D tasks.
At the same time, Wang Bin also asked the aviation aircraft R&D department to immediately start the design of the sixth-generation fighter jet.
After all, although the most advanced fighter jet in China is already a sixth generation aircraft, there are still many defects. The biggest defect in the past, that is, the engine problem, has now been filled by Tiangong Technology.
Therefore, this fighter jet can definitely compete with the world's most advanced active fighter jet, the Bald Eagle's No. 22 fighter jet.
However, this fighter jet is similar to the most advanced fighter jet of the Bald Eagle Kingdom, that is, this fighter jet is still a bit expensive for the Chinese Air Force.
After all, the single-machine cost of this fighter is as high as 200 million US dollars. If converted to the money from Huaxia, the cost of each fighter is as high as more than 100 million yuan!
Even if China is now the second largest economic power in the world, it will not be able to bear such an expensive cost.
So in recent years, the number of this fighter jets equipped every year has not been very large.
This is also the reason why the Chinese Air Force has been using third-generation or third-generation and a half-generation fighter jets as the main fighter jets so far.
At the same time, if there are no unexpected situations, China's main fighter jets will be third-generation or third-generation and a half-generation fighter jets for a long time in the future.
Therefore, in addition to the sixth-generation aircraft that Tiangong Technology is about to develop, in addition to meeting the sixth-generation aircraft standards in various standards, Wang Bin also put forward a higher requirement to the design department, that is, the cost should not be too high, and it is best not to exceed the level of 600 million yuan per unit, that is, the unit price of 100 million US dollars.
Because if Tiangong Technology's sixth-generation aircraft can control the unit price below 100 million US dollars, it will definitely have a fatal appeal to the official and the military.
Therefore, when Qi Shi brought the military representatives to Tiangong Technology to inquire about Wang Bin, he heard that Wang Bin and his Tiangong Technology were about to control the unit price below 100 million US dollars, his eyes lit up.
At the same time, the representative who came with him was full of excitement on his face.
So, Master Qiu took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, and said to Wang Bin: "Mr. Wang! This is really great. If you can really control the price below 100 million US dollars, then it is very likely that we will make a large amount of purchases in the future and use this fighter as our main fighter in the future.
You should know that our official attaches great importance to the research, development and future production of sixth-generation machines, and has also inquired about many domestic official design units.
However, the answers from these units made us feel a little disappointed.
According to the answers of these units, the sixth-generation aircraft does not mention the R&D expenses, even if it is really developed, its unit price is very high, at least tens of billions of yuan per aircraft. If the R&D expenses are added, it will cost at least fifty billion yuan."
After hearing Master Qiu's words, Wang Bin smiled slightly.
After all, Tiangong Technology is different from other aircraft design and R&D units. Even if it is developing a sixth-generation aircraft, for Tiangong Technology, many technologies are already available and there is no need to be newly developed. In addition, through the electronic communication department of technology, it has achieved computer hardware and software. Therefore, Tiangong Technology now wants to develop a sixth-generation aircraft and keep its price below 600 million, which is absolutely no problem.
