Super military empire

(Greatly added 15/25 for driden)

"This is absolutely impossible! You are bragging!" Johnson's complexion was a little distorted, and his state was as if he was crazy. "Liu, you are a lie, and one day you will be exposed! You can't lie to me... "

Is this guy crazy?

Liu Yijiu really did not expect that Johnson would be crazy at this time.

From the beginning, the tanks of the Ninth Institute appeared, and then along the way, the technical rolling of the 80-type tanks that Johnson was responsible for the introduction of technology, and the cost of hundreds of millions of dollars was only the result. Johnson’s pressure was Liu People in the nineteenth class were totally unimaginable.

So he was crazy.

"Let's do this, isn't it too much?" Liu Yijiu asked Long Yaohua.

If it hadn't been for their low-key installation at the beginning, they didn't introduce the performance of their tanks, and they had always admitted that their tank technology was not as good as the imported ones. In the end, Johnson would not be like that.

Long Yaohua shook his head, "It's a good thing that he is crazy! Someone has to take responsibility for this matter. Hundreds of millions of dollars in funding!"

If Johnson had a better relationship with the Ninth Academy, instead of targeting the Ninth Academy from the beginning, all kinds of messengers could understand the Ninth Academy’s technology, and if they didn’t introduce so much, they would not be nervous about the military. The waste of scientific research funding will not have such a result.

He is completely self-sufficient.

"At least, he is also for the good of the country." Liu Yijiu sighed. He was crazy, so there was no need to step on him.

"Have you really succeeded in researching those technologies? Have you entered the stage of practical application?" Because of Johnson's madness, the meeting could not go on, but it also achieved the results Liu Yijiu wanted.The military will at least remain cautious in its subsequent technology introduction.

Otherwise, the Ninth Institute will make those in charge become the next Johnson's.

Liu Yijiu nodded, "If you say that you have entered the practical stage, you can say the same, but the cost is too high. Just a 1,800 horsepower engine, this thing will increase the cost by hundreds of thousands. This is not The most important thing is that it is an oil tiger. The logistics support of our army cannot be supported, let alone, the army cannot support huge training funds..."

The situation in the country is like this. With advanced equipment, it may not be usable.

"In that case, the army can't equip this tank at all? At the beginning, you told me that the cost would not exceed 20 million. Why did it suddenly exceed 30 million?" Long Yaohua told Liu The act of temporarily raising prices in 19 is very dissatisfied.

At the beginning, Liu Yijiu said that it was less than 20 million. In this way, according to the high and low collocation, the military can still equip hundreds of vehicles within a few years.

Now the cost is more than 10 million yuan. How can the military accept such a price?

"It's because Johnson and the others have been targeting us, so after I went back, I asked them to get all the technical crushing of their Type 80. At the beginning, we were going to provide the tanks to the military without a missile module. , There is no reactive armor, and there are some internal electronic systems.” Liu Yijiu explained the situation."After all, we didn't know what technologies they introduced at the beginning. If we knew that their tanks were garbage, we didn't need to increase the configuration at all, and it could also cause technical crush on them."

It was really holding this breath at the beginning, so he asked Jiang Ming and others to add a lot of configuration to it when the allocation should have been reduced, causing the cost to almost double.

"Your design is not qualitative. How can it be so easy to modify? There was not much time at the beginning?" Qi Hao has always suspected that Liu Yijiu was deliberately trying to clean up Johnson.

He doesn't think the Ninth Academy will be able to install missile modules and reactive armor in a short period of time, or even some other configurations.

"Chief, you really wronged me. Many of our tanks are produced for general use. The missile modules added are used on the Dragon Guard III. The reactive armor is to be mounted on the outside of the composite armor. A reactive armor block made of a layer of inert explosive... This is the advantage of modular design. At the beginning, the interface is reserved. You can quickly reduce the configuration and increase the configuration according to the needs. After all, if all follow the best The top-level configuration standards are still a serious waste because the military cannot afford it."

Modular design. This is what the Ninth Institute has been doing since the beginning of these projects.

In order to make various tank parts more universal, they continuously improve the original design and modify the design of new projects.In this way, it can effectively improve the logistical support capability and reduce the logistical burden.

"Can Dragon Guard's parts be used on this?"

You know, Longwei and the six-wheeled tanks of the Jiuyuan are two completely different tanks.

"Modular design. Missile modules are universal, and even weapon systems are universal..." Liu Yijiu immediately explained to the two bigwigs what is called modular design and modular production.

This is the inevitability of future development, and the military does not know much about this aspect.

Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, although China has acquired a full set of industrial systems from the Soviet Union’s big brother, in terms of military production, there has always been a large and messy system, with guns of various calibers being produced and various equipment. Technology is in use.

"In this way, you tanks can completely cut down some unnecessary modules, thereby effectively reducing costs. If you remove those complex electronic systems, or even remove some unnecessary data connection systems, can the cost be reduced to less than 10 million? "After learning about the benefits of modular design, Qi Hao asked Liu Yijiu with bright eyes.

Liu Yijiu rolled his eyes at him.

At any rate, he was also the Minister of Logistics. He thought it was buying Chinese cabbage in the market!

"This is impossible. Strong armor defense, fierce firepower, and good maneuverability are basically the minimum configuration. Of course, the missile module can be cancelled. If some internal electronic systems are cancelled, the cost can be reduced to 1,700 Wan, but that way, it will have a very big impact on the performance of the tank." Liu Yijiu measured it, and he felt that there were not many things in it that could be cancelled.

But in order for the military to have more advanced tanks, and this tank is ready to be used for half a century from the beginning, it is completely possible to install these modules when the technology is upgraded later, as long as the interface is left.

"The air-conditioning inside and everything else should be cancelled. Just add a fan. We are not capitalist. War is inherently difficult. We can't covet it..." Qi Hao is very enthusiastic about the design of these humanized functions of the Ninth Academy. Not satisfied.

Anyway, their current goal is to lower the configuration and let Liu Yijiu lower the price.

Liu Yijiu couldn't do such a thing. Some things seemed useless now, but at a critical moment, they could completely save the lives of soldiers.

"Chief, these things are important means to ensure the combat capabilities of soldiers. In order to reduce costs, we can even cancel the function of diving in a closed environment like tanks. That alone can basically reduce the cost of millions. Of course. , This is on the basis of thirty million..." Liu Yijiu was helpless.

Any national defense science and technology worker will be very helpless about such a thing.

Because they have developed advanced weapons and equipment, but in the end, because this kind of advancement requires huge funds to support, they had to personally lower this advanced performance.

"The cost of 17 million yuan is the manufacturing cost without adding research funding. If the military finally decides to purchase, no matter how much it is, we will sell it to the military at a price of 20 million yuan." Liu Yijiu has lost the money. ."Of course, in the current situation, the army does not need to purchase. We need to modify the tank in front of us."

"You are called Liulun too casual, have you ever thought of giving a good name?" Qi Hao frowned and asked Liu Yijiu.

This is the case with the Ninth Academy's project, because it does not require the above review and approval, which makes their projects named randomly.

"After all, after the design is finalized, you can't just call it six rounds, right?" Qi Hao explained when Liu Yijiu stared at him blankly."Although the technology research and development of your Ninth Institute is rigorous, in terms of these project plans, it is really too rigorous..."

"To be honest, we really haven't thought about such a problem." Liu Yijiu said with a wry smile, the name is not important, as long as the performance is outstanding."Perhaps, we can first produce a small number of minimum configuration tanks for the military to conduct combat tests."

"Isn't the Blue Army equipped?" Qi Hao was a little surprised. If Liu Yijiu didn't equip such an advanced tank for the Blue Army, his old husband would agree?"The Blue Army is shouldering the important task of exploring the direction of our domestic military construction. The modernization of the military is to count on the Blue Army."

"Chief, do you want to equip us with these tanks in China?" Liu Yijiu felt helpless."But you can rest assured that we currently have a preliminary plan to equip a battalion of the Blue Army with more than 30 vehicles. There will be several vehicles in various configurations. This will form a high and low match with the Dragon Guard tanks equipped by the Blue Army. This will reduce costs while also being effective. Ensure combat capability."

"Your tank does not have a serial number, or is it designated as a Type 87 main battle tank?"

Liu Yijiu shook his head and refused.

The tanks of the Ninth Academy do not use these.

"Are we going to call Liulun from now on?"

"Then call the Destroyer. Destroy all enemies who dare to invade our territory. The powerful defense can effectively ensure their survival on the battlefield. The fierce firepower will destroy the enemy..." Liu Yijiu wanted to call Tianqi at first. Yes, after all, it used to be a very awesome existence in a very popular game more than ten years later.
