Chapter 1118 (2/2)

Hearing this number, even Jiang Chen, who is a major shareholder of the new Federal Reserve, can't help speaking out.

Even if the cost of large-scale production can be cut by half, it will be s $500 million. If one hundred electromagnetic naval guns are to be installed on warships, the Earth Defense Alliance must not be bankrupt?

Seeing the expression on Jiang Chen's face is not very good-looking, Ling Tao, who has guessed something, quickly explains.

”The reason why it is so expensive is mainly due to manufacturing process problems. Many parts can not be produced with the current processing technology, and only industrial 3D printers can be used. When the production technology is upgraded, the turret will certainly not be so expensive. ”

Hearing this sentence, Jiang Chen finally felt better.

In a few days, the Earth Defense Alliance Committee will start again, and the next meeting will discuss what kind of ship should be used for the first million ton interstellar warship.

In fact, no matter what kind of ship no road is, electromagnetic gun, a conventional weapon, is indispensable. Therefore, no matter what the final result is, the orders of future military industry will not be able to escape. After all, the technical advantages of futuren group in electromagnetic gun are obvious to all over the world.However, the cost of nearly one billion yuan is too expensive.

Jiang Chen asked himself that if he was a member of the committee, he would not let go of his budget easily.

After all, the Earth Defense Alliance is not run by himself. The member states are paying according to the percentage of GDP and the weight of population. China alone has spent three trillion yuan a year! How can this money be easily earned by companies in other countries?

As an executive, he has decision-making power, but the committee also has veto power, voting power and budget review power.

At the thought of this, Jiang Chen could not help but get a headache.

How to fool those committee members?

It seems that it's not easy to cheat

……

With August getting closer and closer, the expectation of the 19-year Asia Pacific joint military exercise is gradually warming up. However, the reaction of star ring trade is quite calm, as if the aircraft carrier battle group parked at the door has not been taken into consideration at all.

Above 36000 kilometers above the sky, shuttle shaped aircraft pass through thousands of kilometers of steel skeletons, like silver needles leading wires, weaving the future of earth civilization in the quiet and jumping sparks.

It is the second shipyard of xinghuan, and the project progress is only 15%.

The new shipyard, which covers an area of more than 100 mu and costs nearly S $20 billion, is like a satellite city suspended on the side of the satellite city, which is connected by a graphene orbit and a space elevator.

Six three kilometer long spindles are suspended in parallel in the synchronous orbit and connected by a titanium alloy skeleton. Like a bottle of narrow and hollow hexagonal prism, the outline of the shipyard has been outlined.

With the help of neural access technology, nearly 1000 engineering robots that have participated in the construction of space elevators are remotely controlled by human engineers, welding blocks of alloy steel plates to the skeleton. Shuttle shaped aircraft travel through the construction site, sending materials and construction equipment to the hands of Engineering robots.

In the future, all warships of star ring trade and Earth Defense Alliance will be produced by this new shipyard.

As for the first order of the shipyard, the Earth Defense Alliance has held more than a dozen meetings in succession, but there is still no discussion on why. Some people propose to develop missile ships, others propose to give priority to the development of aircraft carriers and unmanned carrier based aircraft

At the end of the debate was a representative of China named Lu Wei.

At the 17th meeting, he put forward the ”functional ship theory”, which was approved by most members.

”It's ridiculous to use the 19th century artillery to attack the battleships of the 20th century. However, the warships of the 19th century can still play their waste heat in the battlefield after the modification of the artillery system in the 20th century. Instead of arguing about whether to arm our ship with bows and arrows or spears, we'd better build the boat first and then consider what weapons to load on it. ”

The choice of weapons to use will be left for future consideration, and the bare warship with reserved space for refitting will be produced first. Even if in the future, with the innovation of shipbuilding technology, this naked ship will eventually be eliminated, and it can be converted into an engineering ship at a lower cost, so as to give full play to the waste heat in the field of infrastructure construction.

Jiang Chen was relieved by Lu Wei's proposal.

For now, at least, he doesn't have to worry about persuading the Commission to buy a billion dollar cannon. (to be continued. )
