Chapter 400: : Good quality and not cheap]

"Don't look at me, this is not the first thing I thought of, it was the idea proposed by Director Lan Kun." Ren Hong smiled, and looked at Lan Kun beside him, who suddenly gave in modestly.
At this time, General Gao raised another question, saying: "It is well said that there is no truly invincible existence in the world. Even if an impeccable whale shark is an aircraft carrier, there will be no accidents. If it is accidentally hit In the event of an irreversible disaster, how do the fighters in the mothership escape? You know, it is thousands of meters under the sea, and more than 60 warehouses are all used to store fighters. Then the escape capsule? Or is it not designed at all?"
"There is indeed no escape pod." Ren Hong nodded and said.
"What are you talking about? This kind of low-level mistake" General Gao stared at Ren Hong for an instant. The latter explained: "The absence of an escape pod does not mean that there is no way to escape. How could the soldier's life not be considered? If it does occur That kind of irreversible accident, the entire aircraft carrier will automatically be dismembered into 32 segments, spreading around. There are emergency spare materials inside for the escaped fighters to consume water and food for nearly three months. There is a set of rescue equipment inside. The distress signal is sent to wait for the rescue team to carry out precise salvage based on the coordinate position."
When General Gao heard the explanation, he was surprised: "Good guy, this keel can be dismembered into 32 knots? Even if there is an accident, it can save most of the soldiers' lives."
Ren Hong added: "At the same time, each section has a set of self-destructing devices."
General Gao pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "When necessary, sacrifice is necessary. I believe our soldiers never lack the courage to sacrifice, in order to prevent technology from falling into the hands of others."
This kind of remark seemed too heavy, Ren Hong immediately changed the subject, he pointed to the right, and General Gao immediately looked along. Ren Hong said: "Look at the 100-meter-high super gate ahead. The 400-meter-deep South China Sea is outside. In the sea, looking at the huge gaps opposite us, there is also a huge gate in the opposite wall. After the whale shark aircraft carrier is built, the huge gate on the opposite side will block this place. All people will be evacuated. After the passages are all closed, a lot of Sea water will pour in from the water inlet at the bottom of the dock until the space is filled with sea water, and the whale shark aircraft carrier can sail into the South China Sea through the super gate in front. After the sea water is discharged again, the dock can operate normally."
General Gao, who listened to the commentary, nodded repeatedly, "Advanced!"
"How much is the cost of this mothership? What a scary figure?" General Gao said. He is ready to accept an astronomical figure. The more expensive it means that there will be less equipment in the future. Subjectively, I hope not Too expensive, but it is also clear that it is definitely not expensive in general.
Ren Hong looked at General Gao’s slightly nervous look, and wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to laugh. Facing his father-in-law, he finally replied in a serious manner: "Compared with a small set of Republic Eagles, it costs more than 10 billion. Dollars, this big guy is too cheap."
"How many?" General Gao asked curiously.
"23 billion U.S. dollars." Ren Hongdao pointed out the manufacturing cost, and quickly added: "But it does not include the carrier-based aircraft and supplies and daily expenses for the mothership."
In Ren Hong's willful view, judging from the size of the "whale shark" aircraft carrier, compared to the cost of the Republic's Eagle, it is simply too cheap. But General Gao is another idea. The difference of 23 billion U.S. dollars into Bank Negara currency is only 150 billion. Compared with the current cost of the most advanced Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the United States, it is only 4.5 to 50 billion. Between billions of dollars.
One "whale shark series" is worth five Nimitz aircraft carriers, which is extremely expensive.
Ren Hong added: "Compared to the mothership, the carrier-based aircraft is a bit expensive. To equip the mothership with 100 arc fighters, the average cost of each aircraft is about 200 million US dollars, which is about 20 billion US dollars. According to the aircraft carrier It can be counted as 75 in service. In terms of material supply, maintenance, etc., the monthly expenditure of the whale shark is about 100 million U.S. dollars, and the service for 75 years requires about 90 billion U.S. dollars, which means that you want to raise a whale shark. For 75 years of the aircraft carrier, the level cost calculation will also require an investment of about 133 billion US dollars. This is the minimum investment. If there is combat readiness loss, additional calculations will be required."
"A month’s expenditure is more than 600 million yuan? Are you sure you are not kidding me? The American Nimitz’s monthly expenditure is only more than 90 million yuan. The cost of construction is five boats and six boats. That’s too much. It burns money, and the Americans can't afford to raise a few ships." When General Gao heard this series of figures, his head suddenly became big. Needless to say about the love of this mothership, but the huge number of high construction and maintenance costs has changed.
"Good quality, the price is definitely not cheap." Ren Hong shrugged slightly, not forgetting to remind: "I have to remind you that this price is still the ex-factory price."
"How much do you want to sell?" General Gao said subconsciously.
"Look at you in a hurry. The Plan is a joint project of Matrix Technology and the country. Without the technical reference provided by 803 and the talents and materials provided by the state, it would not have progressed so smoothly. I didn't even want to make money here, but You can't lose money, right. The 50 billion-plus for the creation of the Hades base, plus the R&D investment of Hades plan burns more than 100 billion, which adds up to nearly 170 billion U.S. dollars to recover the cost without knowing the year of the monkey. Don't look at me. The company’s total revenue in one year is comparable to Turkey’s one year, but it’s crazy to burn money everywhere, no one in the world can match. The company’s 7-year savings actually have few copper plates left. It also started paying taxes last year. A heartache"
"What's the price, please give me the bottom line first!" General Gao said dissatisfied.
Ren Hong immediately gave a price tag, "Absolutely fair, a mothership earns you 1 billion, and an Arclight 2.5 billion. The unit is US dollars!"
When General Gao heard this number, he was unhappy on the spot, "Fart, it's like a lion's mouth. 100 arc lights take away 5 billion US dollars, a mothership takes away 1 billion US dollars, and 6 billion US dollars at a time, you can build one. It’s a 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, and is it fair to Lao Tzu? You think everyone is as rich as you!"
"The money I burned is enough to build more than 30 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, father-in-law, why don't you say this?" Ren Hong hurriedly responded.
"That's not okay, you are my son-in-law, even if you want to avoid suspicion, you have to be less." General Gao said.
Ren Hong: ""
Ren Hong was defeated in an instant. As the saying goes, when a scholar meets a soldier, it is unreasonable. General Gao looked at Ren Hong slumped, amused for a while, "Who was it who vowed in front of Lao Tzu that I had money to burn, no problem, and wrapped it on me. Well, now I know the pain?"
Ren Hong: ""
General Gao ignored him, turned to look at Lin Wubin, and said, "Immediately prepare a complete report for me, and let me report the matter here."
"It's ~EbookFREE.me~General!" Lin Wubin saluted, and then left to prepare. General Gao looked at Ren Hong again, "Okay, don't you guys stop pretending to be garlic here. You have never been the one willing to suffer. It seems that the country has taken advantage of you, and you are afraid that you will get more benefits. ."
"That, father-in-law, how many ships do you think will be launched?" Ren Hong asked suddenly.
General Gao heard this, thought about it, and estimated: "I don't think that after this ship is officially put into service, you will not be asked for a new order in the next three years. The equipment is good, but too expensive is a flaw. Not enough."
"Which fleet will this mothership be assigned to?" Ren Hong asked again.
"Nonsense, of course it is the South China Sea under my jurisdiction. The Northern Fleet has aircraft carriers." General Gao said unambiguously. Thinking of this, he suddenly showed a thick smile, "I don't have an aircraft carrier yet. The big iron fish is no accident. It must be my responsibility. Haha, Lao Li, they want to wait a few more years. When Lao Li sees the whale shark system, he is looking at his aircraft carrier. It is probably like watching A pile of broken copper and iron, I must be frustrated and mad. I was stunned in front of me, but now I can finally fight back, hahaha"
