It has been more than a month since the end of the air show. Xu Ziling thought it would be a dead end, but unexpectedly called at this time. He thought about Tang Cheng's request for the fastest delivery, but did not give him an answer right away. , but said to see if it can be arranged, and I can answer him later.

For such a reason, Tang Cheng didn't think there was anything wrong, he just said that he hoped to get a reply as soon as possible, and he was ready.

"Okay, no problem. I'll give you an answer tomorrow at the latest." Xu Ziling thought he needed to discuss this matter with Fan Yi, and quickly hung up the phone.

In fact, it was notified to the above that this is also a matter of form. At the beginning, it was known that "Fierce Dragon" had the most advanced anti-cracking measures, but the above only made one request, that is, not to allow "Fierce Dragon" to flow into "hostile" countries in large quantities, because it cannot In order to make money, the military power of these countries has been greatly increased.

When he called Fan Yi, Fan Yi didn't react violently. He just said "Got it" and then changed the topic to the large aircraft project.

"Now I just have this idea, and the engine part has an outline, but there is no specific plan yet, but if there is, we will launch passenger aircraft and transport aircraft." He likes to make money from civilian aircraft, but the final focus is still on military use In the field, if we want to build large aircraft, transport aircraft must also come together.

"Oh? There is also a transport plane?" Fan Yi was surprised that Xu Ziling was planning to join such a project.

For the large aircraft project, he still got the news from Shen Fei. There is no doubt that there must be no mention of transport aircraft. As the boss of the final assembly, he pays more attention to the military field. I heard that Xu Ziling is capable of designing a dual-aisle passenger aircraft , He was thinking about whether it could be converted into a military transport plane, and then he and Xu Ziling came to this topic, but he really didn't expect that Xu Ziling would take the initiative to talk about it before he mentioned it.

Of course he is happy to see such a project.

"With this idea, the plan will come out at the beginning of the year. If the speed is fast, the prototype will be rolled out in the second half of next year together with the passenger plane." Speaking of this, Xu Ziling remembered that he had already matured a project plan, "By the way , Mr. Fan, I have a large-scale unmanned nuclear submarine plan in my hand, and I am going to try it out. I wonder if there is any interest in it?"

Limited by the national conditions, this kind of thing will only be used domestically within three to five years, and it is impossible to export it. Xu Ziling calculated that the first submarine will cost at least 30 billion or more. If the domestic If he didn't want it, he didn't have the money to get one of this guy for the time being, so he asked Fan Yi if he was interested. If he was interested, he would have to allocate funds to him before he could get one.

Surprises came one after another. The large transport aircraft project was enough for Fan Yi to be happy. Unexpectedly, another unmanned submarine came in a blink of an eye. He didn't know what to say for a while.

"Large? How big? Attack submarine?" Interesting enough, after a short silence, Fan Yi immediately asked.

Today's unmanned submarines are limited to auxiliary operations. He is not sure how big Xu Ziling's mouth is, and whether it is auxiliary or offensive. Of course, he must ask clearly.

"The size is about the same as the Seawolf class, with a single-layer shell, and the entire system is fully automated. It is controlled by the micro-intelligence system of the central computer. The maximum dive depth is 500 meters. It carries four torpedo launchers at the front and rear, and 32 strategic ballistic missiles. , 48 ground-to-ground and anti-ship medium- and long-range missiles. If these missiles are specially made, the combat depth can reach 1000 meters and the speed is 55 knots. When they arrive at the designated position and are ready for battle, they can hide for more than [-] days and cruise for about [-] days. .”

……

No surprise, no surprise... Fan Yi comforted himself in his heart like this.

He really couldn't be sure if it was a submarine or not, a ghost under the sea?Such a word suddenly popped up in his mind.

At a depth of 1000 meters, with the current anti-submarine technology, even if it is discovered, it is difficult to effectively attack, and with this kind of ammunition load, will it be possible for him to kill all of an aircraft carrier battle group?

A submarine can fight an aircraft carrier battle group, and he cannot be indifferent.

"How much does it cost? Is there an exact price?" So he asked right away.

"More than 30 billion, the ground control station calculates separately, because the micro-intelligence system is used, so it is best to use a supercomputer, and the price is not cheap." Speaking of this, Xu Ziling changed his tone, "The funds are a bit large, so it depends on the interest of the above. No, if I’m not interested, I won’t do it, I’m also short of funds, and I can’t sell it after I make it, if I have to pay for it myself, I’m not interested.”

For the orders received at this air show, the deposits paid by all parties are several billion US dollars, plus the 30 billion US dollars, which means that the military factory now holds at least 70 billion US dollars, Xu Ziling Said that the funds were tight, Fan Yi was amused. Although any of the previous projects were funded by the military factory itself, unlike other military enterprises that were funded by the government, it was enough to do it, but he still said: "With billions of dollars in my hand, but I said in front of me that the funds are tight, do you think I will believe it?"

Seeing what he said, Xu Ziling sighed. This seems to be billions of dollars, but it is not expensive. Now there are many projects that can be obtained in hand. The technical content is too high, and it is only as good as it is in China. It is basically impossible for a client to make money to support other projects, so he is thinking about getting a few low-tech products to sell, increasing workers, and paying wages without money?Does it cost money to build a production line for a new project?What's more, he still has a big killer in his hand that the country will not allocate funds at once.

"Recently, I want to buy some low-end products and sell them. I have to invest in them. I also want to buy a few cruise missiles. It also costs money. It looks like a lot, but it can't support a few projects. Besides, I'm also planning to expand the Jiangnan factory, build a super-large dock, and ask for money everywhere..."

Fan Yi didn't listen to Xu Ziling's grievances in the first part, because his mind was attracted by the super-large shipyard. He knew the situation of the Jiangnan factory. Still want to build a super large dock, 20 tons? 30 tons?What on earth is this trying to do?

Larger tonnage destroyer?or……?

"The existing dock of the Jiangnan factory can build ships with a capacity of about [-] tons. How big do you want to build?"

"There is at least 20 tons, which can barely be used."

……

Jiangnan Shipyard, because it seldom engages in the construction of civilian ships, and military ships are all below [-] tons, so it has a large dock, no matter how many ships it has, it can build ships of [-] tons.Xu Ziling already had the idea of ​​building an aircraft carrier, and the [-]-ton shipyard could not meet his needs at all, so before that, the hardware facilities must be improved, and the establishment of a large shipyard is imperative.

"You want to get an aircraft carrier?" At this time, Fan Yi finally heard the hidden meaning in Xu Ziling's words, and asked quickly.

He is a little numb now. He used to attack submarines unmanned, and now he is engaged in aircraft carriers. If he hadn't seen what happened to Xu Ziling before, he really doubted whether the Red Star Military Factory could keep up technically.

Sooner or later, people will know, Xu Ziling said very calmly: "Yes, it is currently under conception, and it is estimated that the project will be formally approved in the near future. I hope that the higher-ups will provide some support by then."

"I think you already know the news that the second aircraft carrier is already being built in China. If you don't have certain advantages, if you go on an aircraft carrier, the higher authorities will definitely not support you." Fan Yi was silent for a moment, and then spoke very bluntly Xu Ziling said.

Xu Ziling had already heard about the news that the second aircraft carrier was under construction from Tang Jiannian. Although it was only a few words, he felt that it was necessary to develop a large aircraft carrier just because he knew that taxiing was still used for take-off and the tonnage was still at [-] to [-] tons. , otherwise it would be impossible to catch up with others.

The function of the current aircraft carrier is really single, so it needs a battle group to protect its own safety. In terms of submarines, destroyers, and frigates, it is really difficult to catch up with those developed countries, but in the lion's optimization plan , there is a comprehensive aircraft carrier plan. Considering that the combat effectiveness of the battle group can be achieved on the aircraft carrier, Xu Ziling chose a two-body aircraft carrier plan with a displacement of close to 20 tons. It can defend against air and attack incoming enemies without requiring much Escort ships follow.

Faced with such a standard, it can be said that it can be said that it can completely defeat any country's aircraft carrier. He is not worried at all about Fan Yi's saying that there must be an advantage, and the higher-ups will support it. If this is still called no advantage, then there is no advantage in the world. Once said.

"With a full load displacement of 20 tons, is there any advantage in forming a formation with only two submarines and one supply ship?"

……

20 tons, there is no need for frigates and other ships. After hearing Xu Ziling's words, even if he knew that he never joked in business, Fan Yi also thought that this was nonsense.

It sounds like this means integrating the relevant weapons and facilities on the destroyer into the aircraft carrier. The idea is good, but considering the huge hull of the aircraft carrier, once the battle starts, isn't it a living target?Of course, what Fan Yi is most concerned about is not this, but the integration of so many weapon systems, plus a displacement of 20 tons, how much will such an aircraft carrier cost?How much will the annual maintenance cost be?

With that in mind, the phone fell silent.

Xu Ziling seemed to know what he was thinking. After waiting for a while, seeing that he hadn't spoken yet, he said again: "This kind of plan does have the disadvantage of inflexibility, but with the support of satellites, there will only be long-distance wars in the future, and Once a war breaks out, we can also equip ships. This thing is flexible and changeable, and it is not a static thing. Besides, in terms of cost, the aircraft carrier itself and its parts are all localized. The entire cost will not exceed 100 billion, and nuclear power will be used. , the maintenance cost will definitely not be higher than that of our first aircraft carrier formation, it will only be lower."
