Super military empire

"Do you want to add more projects?" For Liu Yijiu who has to do things when he returns to the base, the leaders of the management committee who have become more and more powerless have a headache.

Especially Wang Shunyi felt that Liu Yijiu could not have a good life for a few days. They even thought that Liu Yijiu should go outside to toss.

Tossing outside, running back to toss, this is undesirable.

"This is related to the future of our artificial intelligence." Liu Yijiu explained the matter again, and then asked Yao Bingqian, Xu Huaqing, Yu Siyun and Tian Jingfeng to convince the management committee from a technical perspective.

He has now changed his rough style before, instead of persuading by himself, and then forcefully demanding with his own identity and the rights in his hand when the persuasion does not work.

Today is no better than before.

"How much is the investment in this project?" Xu Zhihui cares about how much he needs to take out of the money bag he takes care of."You know, we are basically taking our laurels now, or else, you sell a batch of weapons?"

Wang Shunyi and others even gave Xu Zhihui a thumbs up in front of Liu Yijiu.

Everything needs money. Without money, any project is useless.

Liu Yijiu rolled his eyes at Xu Zhihui directly.

Now I am counting on developing new customers. In Pakistan, people are equipped with a large number of heavy fighter jets and a large number of tanks. The same is true for Iran and Argentina.

The biggest buyer is Iraq. Now the scale of the battle between Iraq and the U.S. military is much smaller. The U.S. military has occupied a major oil production town in southern Iraq, and even China’s oil fields have not resumed exploitation.

Other countries that can afford advanced heavy equipment are either buying Russia or the United States.Even the small African countries are now inclined to buy Soviet equipment, because it is cheap, and whether it is advanced is not important to the small African countries.

After all, Africans do not need too advanced weapons and equipment.

Even the light weapons sold by China, the African warlords and the government feel that the Soviet Union left them cheaper.

ak is their best choice.

Who else can I sell to now?

can only wait.

Syria can be sold, Jordan can also be sold, the number of people demand is not much, Director Liu is too lazy to bother.Saudi Arabia, a big dog owner in the Middle East, even if the relationship with the Americans is not so good, they are more inclined to purchase American weapons and equipment, unless China can provide them with more advanced Dongfeng-3, such as Dongfeng-5 or Dongfeng. -31, or a mushroom bomb.

Can this thing be sold?

"There is not much needed in the initial stage of this project. It will not exceed 50 million every year..." Liu Yijiu thought for a while and said a number.

Xu Zhihui and others knew Liu Yijiu's style very well, and immediately questioned, "Does this include equipment and other expenses? Especially the supporting experimental workshops and laboratory construction..."

"You don't need to consider this at present. After all, this is a derivative project and equipment of the memristor project. In the initial stage, it can be shared. The experimental workshop is even more unnecessary. The laboratory is also shared..." Liu Yijiu said calmly ."You can ask them about this. Before, several relevant departments have done calculations."

Director Liu is more suitable than others in seeking funding.

Yao Bingqian and the others all nodded. The initial funding of 50 million was enough.

Of course, this is only the first year.

How much is needed in the second year, Liu Yijiu himself said, this needs to be decided according to the progress of the project.

But obviously, it will not be only 50 million.

Such a huge project, as long as it is launched, the future funding requirements are very terrifying.

The management committee opposed it because of this.

"We don't have enough funds. The military wants us to increase research on strategic bomber technology. Our demand for strategic bombers is very urgent. This is one of the cores of the Trinity's nuclear deterrence capabilities..." Wang Shunyi reminded Liu Nineteenth, "If we do not have sufficiently advanced strategic bombers, the military can only choose to equip the bomber under the current situation..."

"The military requires strategic bombers? I haven't heard it before!" Liu Yijiu was a bit big.

Haven't the military leaders been persuaded not to equip the Tu-22m strategic bomber?

Even if the country has a capability that can be imitated, this medium-range strategic bomber clearly does not meet the needs of future defense.

"Before you get the Tu-22m and Tu-160 back, our bomber only had the H-6. The J-7 can take on part of the bomber's capabilities, and neither the range nor the capacity of the bombs can meet the needs of national defense." Du Zhongkun said. "So, before setting up a new project, you should consider the future allocation of our funds. A war-hungry development and research work requires a huge amount of funds. If we don’t have this amount of funds, we will have to take up half or even more. many."

With that said, Liu Yijiu was a little bit big.

The incomplete memristor is urgently needed by the entire Ninth Academy of Artificial Intelligence.

As for Zhanhong, this is what China's national defense needs.

Whether it is now or in the future.

Aviation and nuclear submarines are currently in demand in China.Even the strategic nuclear missile, with the Dongfeng-31, made the two aspects more urgent.

Only by having a strategic bomber with a long enough range and a high enough ammunition capacity and a strategic nuclear submarine with better performance can the construction of the Trinity nuclear deterrence be completed.

"We need to engage in strategic bombers, but we also need to engage in artificial intelligence. If it doesn't work, we will allocate funds from artificial intelligence research and other related projects." Liu Yijiu thought for a while, and finally had no choice but to do it. Such a decision.

Holding hundreds of billions of dollars in his hands, this is a huge amount of funding.

However, the Ninth Institute has involved too many projects over the years, and it is impossible to throw it out for a while.

The military does not have enough funds to support these projects.

The money seems to be a lot, but the problem is that there is a lot of expenditure. Many projects have to reserve enough funds.

Otherwise, the military will not easily give up the idea of ​​hitting hundreds of billions of dollars in the small treasury of the Ninth Academy. There is a prerequisite for their idea of ​​not making this money, that is, the Ninth Academy must increase in certain key projects. Invest effort.

The 055 ship with a 10,000-ton class destroyer, the missile battleship that is about to be transformed, and even the pre-empire preparations for the aircraft carrier plan; in the aerospace field, the research and development of Dongfeng-41 must continue, and other types of missiles cannot be less, manned spaceflight In terms of engineering, the Ninth Academy also needs investment, and the lunar exploration project is paid for by the aerospace industry. The aviation field is research on various types of military aircraft...

Anything the same requires a huge investment.

"Do you have to do this project?" Wang Shunyi asked Liu Yijiu again.

Xu Zhihui also looked at Liu Yijiu, frowning tightly together, "Comrade Liu, if it is not particularly urgent, important projects, can be slowed down, as long as possible. Now it is difficult to open source. We only have to throttle..."

"I know, but this is really very important. In the initial evaluation of the artificial intelligence project, we have already understood how important the emergence of artificial intelligence is for our research, let alone other aspects. Anything that can make artificial intelligence I don’t want to give up on breakthroughs in intelligent research.” Liu Yijiu said seriously and also very seriously.

With this attitude, he expressed to the management committee members that he was really firm in this matter.

This is a direction that allows artificial intelligence to achieve rapid breakthroughs.

"Or, just incorporate this into artificial intelligence? This will save a lot of research funds. We need to focus our energy on the research field of battleships and military aircraft..." Xu Zhihui manages the money, and only he It is clear how long the funds of the Ninth Institute can support.

There is no problem for ten years if you don't open projects randomly, but this is only the funding requirement of these large-scale projects in the hands of the Ninth Institute.

Once a new project is opened indiscriminately, this funding is really not enough.

Liu Yijiu wanted to build an aircraft carrier as well as a stealth warship.

Now the research on stealth fighters is also speeding up. The American stealth fighters shipped back from Baghdad have already arrived in China.There are also aspects such as the electronic reconnaissance aircraft just acquired.

The military is counting on money from the small vault of the Ninth Hospital.

Similarly, the Ninth Academy hopes to get involved in the development and research of these projects.

"No, a single independent item, after all, this is not just for artificial intelligence services." Liu Yijiu shook his head.

According to the original plan, the Ninth Hospital will always have sufficient funds.

The plan never keeps up with the changes.

"The project can be established, but when the funds are insufficient in the future, the funds for these projects..." After Wang Shunyi and others discussed, they saw Liu Yijiu's still firm attitude and gave such an opinion.

The subtext is very clear, that is, when funding is insufficient, the research funding for key projects will be given priority.

It is very likely that such a project will be shelved indefinitely until the Ninth Academy is sufficiently funded or transferred to the same type of military research unit.

"If the follow-up funds cannot be adequately supplied..." Yao Bingqian said embarrassedly.

No one can guarantee that the technology can be marketed in a short time.

Only marketization can bring more research funding.

Even military technology cannot be put into use for a long time and cannot be used in the national defense military. This will also cause big problems. There will be endless money-sending, and only those super weapons that can deter the enemy.

For example, nuclear weapons, or tools to deliver nuclear weapons.

Liu Yijiu glared at Yao Bingqian. This guy is not satisfied at all.

For the latter things, just think of a solution later. It must be brought up at this time. Isn't this giving the management committee an excuse not to give the project a penny?

Sure enough, just as Yao Bingqian spoke, he was interrupted by Xu Zhihui, "Since I am worried that the follow-up funds will not be adequately supplied, then do not start the project."

They are anxious not to make new projects all the time.

Many projects of the Ninth Academy are beginning to shrink, and there is no alternative.

Expanding too much is not a good thing.

"Let’s not think about that much for now. For the time being, when I face the problem of insufficient funding, I will find a way. By the way, now we are not starting some research data on technology research and development projects to the military and some units of state-owned enterprises. Transfer? Do they pay for these basic research materials?" Liu Yijiu suddenly thought of this question.

The road before the Ninth Institute was to sell technology, but not too many companies are willing to buy technology from them, especially those state-owned enterprises.

Now many basic projects, they no longer continue to research, but are transferred to related military units, or state-owned enterprises, and even some personnel will be transferred to other units.

In this, the Ninth Hospital has invested a lot of money.

"Give it money?" Obviously, there was no money, as can be seen from the expressions of Wang Shunyi, Xu Zhihui and others.

"Yeah, the funds we invested in advance can't just be gone, right?" Liu Yijiu should have such an expression.

"Those units don't have much funding." Xie Heping frowned.

He was transferred from the three districts to set up a technical operation department, and he knew clearly what the state-owned enterprises wanted to obtain technology from them.

Even finished technologies can be converted into market-used technologies or products when they are obtained. Many state-owned enterprises are unwilling to pay for it. Only some private businesses and companies that have cooperation with them know the value of these technologies.

Otherwise, they can rely on selling technology to support technology research and development.

The finished technology is not willing to pay more, let alone unfinished or even incomplete projects.

"Not much funding does not mean that there is no funding. Besides, don't they need projects? If we get the project from us, they can apply for funding from it. This money would originally be part of our basic research expenses!" Liu Yi Jiucai will not give free projects to other state-owned enterprises or scientific research institutions.

At present, there are many domestic research institutions, and most of them are repeating certain projects. After all, these projects belong to the areas of national key development or lack of areas.

If it is too difficult and the prospects are too small, the leaders of those units are unwilling.

This makes it difficult for them to get financial allocations from the government.

These basic projects of the Ninth Academy are all lacking in China. The supporting projects they provide for themselves, whoever gets it, is absolutely very easy to obtain financial allocations from the superior authorities.

Otherwise, no one would want to give away these items.

They are not the Ninth Institute so that they can make money for themselves to set up big projects.

"If you don't give money, these technical projects are in bad hands, and you can't give them to them!" Liu Yijiu was a little angry when he said that.

"Let's talk to them." Xie Heping sighed. Liu Yijiu is now losing money.
