Chapter 525 (2/2)

3D printing costs a lot of materials and energy. The cost of producing a fighter by 3D printing. It's about three times more than an industrial production line producing a fighter. Although NAC has a lot of money, if all the cutting-edge weapons rely on 3D printing technology, Jiang Chen, who is burning money, is still a little distressed.

”It's hard, the heat-resistant material for the engine, hard to do at the industrial level of sixth block.” Fang Weixian shook his head.

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said.

”Give some of the production materials for simple parts to the military plant on the sixth block. Outsource these parts to them as much as possible. In this way, the cost should be much lower than 3D printing, and the production cycle can be shortened. Do you think it is feasible? ”

Fang Weixian pinched his chin and pondered.

”Simple parts? Strictly speaking, the production process of no single part is simple... ”

Jiang Chen shook his head and said with a smile.

”I said the process is simple. It doesn't mean the difficulty of manufacturing according to the production process we know, but the technical feasibility. Don't underestimate the creativity of the people in the waste land. As long as we offer the right price and the technology can be realized, they may be able to develop a production process that can save more cost than us. ”

For Jiang Chen's statement, Fang Weixian is obviously not very convinced. After all, he came from a sanctuary and was an elite before the war. He didn't believe the survivors dressed like beggars. Have the ability to solve the production problem of fighter parts.

However, due to the status gap, he did not show his disdain for the waste soil survivors.

Seeing Fang Weixian not talking, Jiang Chen probably guessed what he was thinking. But he just laughed and didn't say much about it.

Fang Weixian is very arrogant, but this arrogance is not for no reason arrogant, but because of his rigorous technology.

”Science and technology are two different things. The former determines the development space of the latter and the latter determines the practical value of the former. Can survive to this day in the cruel end. It has proven the creativity of survivors. ”

”But you can't expect a group of refugees to be qualified as technicians Well, if you insist. Let me think About 60% of the basic parts, such as screws, wings, cockpit covers, ejection seats, operating interface shells, are not very difficult. ” Give up a sigh, Fang Weijie said.

”Good.” Jiang Chen nodded and patted the technician on the shoulder with satisfaction, ”you can make a detailed list of these parts and give them to Xu Lu. The rest of the parts are still produced by 3D printers. ”

”Yes.” Fang Weijie nodded his head slightly.

They are only responsible for R & D, as well as building the first prototype, providing drawings and production details. As for the specific matters of production, the military factory of the fish bone base will be responsible for it, and it is not necessary for these scientists to worry too much.

”As for the next research project,” Jiang Chen hesitated and looked at Fang Weijie seriously. ”I hope you can develop an airship that can stay in the air for a long time, with armor protection capability and basic firepower.”

”Airship? Armor protection capability? ” Fang Weijie Leng Leng, slightly frown way, ”still use steel to make it?”

”Is it technically difficult to achieve?” Seeing Fang Weijie's embarrassed look, Jiang Chen asked.

”No, it's not very difficult technically, it's just I have never heard of airship Fang Weijie was helpless.

What he said had never been heard, and naturally it had to be before the war. Before the war, airships, which were poorly maneuverable and had large targets, were eliminated as early as the beginning of World War II. Although it is not very difficult to build a steel airship with the technology of the 22nd century, Fang Weijie deeply doubts how cost-effective such weapons can be.

Therefore, he euphemistically said that he had never heard of such weapons and hoped that Jiang Chen would change his mind.

”It doesn't matter. It didn't happen before the war. It's good to build one from the beginning to the end with the technology before the war.” However, Jiang Chen did not change his mind.”But the steel, titanium alloy, copper and aluminum needed to build such a fortress in the sky will be astronomical. Does it really make sense in terms of cost performance? ” Fang Weijie questioned.

”Of course it makes sense.” Jiang Chen said with a smile.

He looked into the sky outside the airport.

It was sunny there, but further away, it was still overcast.

Looking along Jiang Chen's sight, he asked, who did not understand Jiang Chen's meaning.

”What is it?”

”To spread our will, our order, our ideas, to further places.” (to be continued. )
