A big country of aerospace with black technology.

Chapter 189 Increase investment!

Naturally, Miles will not fight alone, he also has allies.

After he finished speaking, someone stood up immediately and began to support his remarks.

"Gentlemen, do you want to wait until someone else's hypersonic missile hits your head?"

"Can we understand the importance of the anti-missile system?"

Although this gentleman is a bit alarmist, what he said is also the true thoughts of many people in this meeting.

It is indeed good to develop hypersonic missiles and establish a reciprocal deterrent with the enemy.

But this thing is not a nuclear weapon after all, and its deterrence is not that great.

As long as the scale of the war reaches a certain level, it is possible to release hypersonic weapons.

What worries them the most now is that according to the news that has been detected so far.

The range of the Longguo hypersonic missile is at least seven thousand kilometers.

Such a missile is just a little short of being called an intercontinental ballistic missile and can be used to deliver nuclear warheads.

This is not the key, the key is that he can truly threaten their homeland.

The Federation's homeland has not experienced war for hundreds of years.

The long-lasting peace not only convinced everyone that the Federation was a place favored by God.

And because of the long-term peace, it has attracted countless high-level talents and investors who pursue a stable environment.

If one day, a missile falls on this continent, causing violent shocks, even the most optimistic optimists will not believe it.

"So I think the importance of anti-missile systems is higher than the development of hypersonic missiles."

The congressman who had just stood up sat down with satisfaction after seeing that most of the people present were lost in thought.

Even the white-haired old man on the stage had to admit that Myerson's punch hit the weak spots of the people present.

For these people on the scene, it is acceptable to have no position, but it is absolutely impossible to have no money.

And their money is basically invested in various industries and Wall Street.

Once the home continent is attacked, they will not be able to accept either the direct industrial losses or the associated economic shock.

"Everyone, don't forget our topic today. As for whether we should increase investment in anti-missile systems, we can discuss it in detail later."

When most people at the scene were lost in thought, the white-haired old man brought back their thoughts that had gone astray.

In today's meeting, everyone was originally planning to condemn Lewis, who had a bad eye for selection and led to the first failure of an air-launched hypersonic missile.

But Louis put the blame on his good brother Jason in time, allowing himself to escape the disaster.

Then Myers stepped forward to disrupt the situation, successfully making everyone forget the original focus of the meeting.

At this time, although the white-haired old man brought everyone's thinking back, everyone basically chose to forget their condemnation of Lewis.

"I think we should continue to increase investment in hypersonic weapons."

"There are problems with the currently developed test missiles, but that doesn't mean that this theory is wrong."

"Our enemies across the ocean have told us that this road is possible."

"The most important thing for us now is to continue investing in research and development of hypersonic weapons."

The white-haired old man shouted impassionedly on the stage.

In fact, what the old man said is not wrong. Although they have increased their investment in ARRW, which is air-launched hypersonic missiles.

However, the total investment amount is only US$1.12 million.This is a very low number for high-precision weapons whose development costs can easily reach tens of billions.

The wind tunnel base that Zhang Xingyang and others built to blow air for hypersonic weapons cost nearly [-] million U.S. dollars in U.S. dollars.

This is despite the fact that various costs, such as land, infrastructure, construction, equipment, etc., are far lower than the market price.

If Yingjiang's business construction model is followed, the cost of building such a base will be at least US$30 billion.

Therefore, if you really want to talk about it, it is really a miracle that Jason only spent more than 1 million to come up with a missile that can be used in actual tests.

But at this time, no one will speak for him.

Of course, even if the court sentenced him afterwards, Jason could still be released on bail after paying a huge bail.

"Gentlemen, I think this is the first challenge we face after entering the 21st century!"

"For our glory, we must overwhelm those hateful yellow people!"

As an old white man, he made completely politically incorrect remarks on stage.

However, the people in this room are basically all white people, and the few people of color also have white hearts.

So no one cared about what he said.

"In order to successfully promote the development of hypersonic weapons, according to research by our team of scientists, at least 120 billion are needed!"

After the white-haired old man revealed this number, many small groups in the audience began to lower their heads to communicate.

This number is actually not too large for strategic weapons.

Take their first fourth-generation aircraft F-22 as an example, just the research and development costs are spent
Moreover, the Federation at this time was not very short of money. The Federation, which had just harvested the bear carcasses, had made countless profits.

As the saying goes, a small theft of goods is a big theft of the country.

Pure economic and trade cannot harvest a country with numerous resources and industries, and make money quickly!
"Is this number too big?"

Even congressmen with Air Force background are a little surprised by this number.

After all, they have also made estimates, believing that if they continue to invest 20 billion, they will be able to see preliminary results, and 50 billion will be able to come up with relatively mature products.

"Not big!"

The white-haired old man said an idea that surprised everyone:
“We not only need air-launched hypersonic missiles, we also need land-based and naval models!”

"We must give full play to our sea and air advantages!"

Today, the Federation, which has the largest number of aircraft carrier battle groups in the world, does have unparalleled sea and air superiority compared to other countries in the world.

At this time, the audience always thought that they were the army and navy personnel who came to make a cutscene, and their eyes lit up.

I didn't expect that I was just here for a formality and would gain something unexpected.

Therefore, the Navy representative was the first to stand up and express his support for this idea:

"We agree!"

The Army representative also did his part and immediately stood up to express his position.

Subsequently, most people in the venue agreed to this expensive development plan.

Although it is as high as 120 billion, it is not their money spent, it is taxpayers' money, and it will not be spent in vain.

In fact, many of them can even make a lot of money from it!
