Chapter 1119 (1/2)
Standardization of warships means that all warships, whether aircraft carriers or battleships, will be improved and produced on the basis of the template of the first warship. All weapons and functional accessories will be designed and manufactured around the standards provided by this template.
This is like the current space station, basically using the star ring trade proposed 6x4 standard. If someone's head is out to design a 6X5 interface, he can't find an interface to connect with him. He can only float in space and play by himself.
Whoever has the right to formulate the standards will have the right to speak in the industry for the next half century or even a century.
Thus, it can be seen that the order of the first one million ton naked warship is really eye-catching.
If China and Russia did not even cross the technical threshold of 500000 tons, and the million tons had not even touched the door, the order of the first naked ship could not be swallowed by the heavy industry of the future!
However, it is only the future heavy industry that is confident of completing the million ton ship. Although China and Russia also have their own shipyards on the ring city, they mainly receive orders for small spacecraft.
In the future, people's heavy industry will not be the same. Not only have they successfully produced three 500000 ton ”Seagull class” transport ships, but now they are producing the fourth ”Seagull”. The four seagull class not only accumulated rich shipbuilding experience for the future heavy industry, but also made the shipbuilding technology of its shipyard reach a very high level.
Although they are envious of the hundreds of billions of Singapore dollars in fat, China, Russia and other member states do not have much to do. They can only hate their own domestic aerospace enterprises for not tying themselves to rockets and being thrown away so far away.
Of course, the biggest piece of fat meat was taken away by the future group. There are still a lot of meat foam and soup water left in this bowl.
We should know that through 50% of the defense tax and the output value contributed by Member States, the fund of the Earth Defense Alliance has raised a total of SGD 349 billion. According to the estimation of the professional manager team employed by the fund, maintaining the current momentum, the fund raised in the whole year of 19 years will exceed S $1.2 trillion.
How terrible is this number?
If we have to choose a reference for comparison, take the GDP data released by China five years ago as an example, the S $1.2 trillion has already exceeded 10% of China's annual GDP in 2015.
That's 10 percent of the world's second largest economy!
Of course, China's GDP is far from what it was five years ago. Especially after the announcement of the asteroid mining plan, the GDP of several major Aerospace powers in the world has increased by no small margin. However, even so, it can still show what a terrible sum of money the S $1.2 trillion is.
Even if you can't help build warships, you can also help build computers. If you can't, you can contribute one or two screws or buttons on your spacesuit. The more upstream the industry is, the larger the downstream industry will be involved. The construction of such a megaton military ship will stimulate the aerospace industry of Member States far more than five seagull class transport ships.
That's why everyone wants a piece of it.
It is not only the earth defense alliance that covets this cake, but also the space enterprises of non member countries.
Although these non member countries have also contributed a lot of money in the form of defense taxes, the Earth Defense Alliance has been extremely harsh on the enterprises of non member countries when choosing cooperation partners. Even spcaex, the leading aerospace company in Silicon Valley, only received S $1.7 billion in orders from navigation projects.
