Black tech predators

Chapter 336 [Good show? 】

Yue Bowen led Gu Cheng to the flat touch screen platform of the headquarters, clicked on a file, and took the template graphics of the orbital airborne cabin provided by the Space Technology Research Institute.

"This... okay." Gu Cheng rested his chin in one hand and hugged his arms, looking at the round platform-shaped airborne capsule, he was speechless for a while.

"Is there a problem?"

Yue Bowen turned his head and glanced at him, and added: "The technical experts at the Space Research Institute said that this is the most suitable geometry for orbital airborne."

Gu Cheng was silent for a moment, then said abruptly: "It's wrong, it's just that the manufacturing process seems a little too cheap... emmm, it's a little ugly."

The officers present couldn't laugh or cry, and Yue Bowen said helplessly: "Who is fat or thin for us to choose? Your things are good or bad, and they are so precious that they make people call their mothers."

Gu Cheng: "..."

Yue Bowen couldn't hold back his words immediately, and added: "I really can't figure it out. If you just send me three air-to-air transport planes for thousands of billions, how did you spend the money?"

Gu Cheng said without hesitation: "Nanotechnology. Many structures on the body involve nano-scale manufacturing processes, as well as materials, expensive carbyne alloys, and the fine structure has reached the nano-scale."

The soldiers present did not doubt Gu Cheng, but the high cost really made people angry. At this time, Gu Cheng smiled and said: "Master Yue, I guess your main concern is that you can't be as cute as the 107 fire." Make it hard, blow it up casually?"

Yue Bowen clapped the backs of his hands and said, "If the numbers can keep up, the firepower will be even stronger."

The military version of the aerospace transport aircraft has a cabin volume less than one-sixth of that of the Skyblade spacecraft, but even so, its carrying capacity in the field of military transport aircraft is world-leading.

It is more than enough to carry a fully loaded 350-person airborne force at one time. Three air-space transport planes are dispatched at the same time, and one airborne regiment can be dropped at a time.

However, Yue Bowen was obviously dissatisfied. He hoped that one airdrop could drop an airborne division from orbit at one time, or even more.

To put it bluntly, three transport planes were not enough, so Gu Cheng didn't answer his words, and pretended he didn't hear anything.

The military placed orders in other military industrial groups, which were rich and powerful. It was similar in Tianqing Technology Group before, but gradually, the military also bargained with Gu Cheng.

Expensive!is really expensive!
"Since the cost of this aircraft can't be reduced, what about the technology used in super pilots?" Yue Bowen suddenly changed the topic to this issue.

Gu Cheng was quite surprised when he heard that, this middle-aged colonel seems to know a lot, and this secret military base is probably not simple.

This is a top-secret file of super pilots, no less than the development of atomic bomb missiles. Gu Cheng is the pioneer of technology, but for others, even general-level officers may not be able to know this secret.

"Why ask this?" Gu Cheng came back to his senses and asked casually.

"Planetary orbital airborne looks similar to traditional airborne, but in fact the difference between the two is like a natural moat. Orbital airborne, technical experts say that because the vehicle returns to the atmosphere from outer space, the physical fitness requirements for airborne paratroopers Extremely high, the overload impact brought by the G force alone is unimaginable." Yue Bowen said, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion after speaking.

Gu Cheng heard what he meant. Orbital airborne is not only demanding on technology, but also very demanding on the physical fitness of airborne paratroopers. Even for the strongest individuals among human beings, orbital airborne is a military operation, which means that this situation is more difficult than Generally speaking, the situation faced by astronauts is even more intense, and it also exceeds the critical value of human beings as organic life forms.

But Gu Cheng has already stocked up acquired enhancement technologies that have no side effects on the human body. The first is Meng Na, the second is Qiu Yue, and the third is Wang Guanghua, all of whom are super pilots of the Aerospace Forces.

For people like Meng Na, their physical fitness has surpassed the individual limit of ordinary people after the day after tomorrow. Compared with ordinary human beings, the orbital parachute is like a suicide-like action. For them, it is an ordinary low-intensity action. It's counting one, two, three.

Facing the expectant eyes of Yue Bowen and others, Gu Cheng smiled wryly in his heart, and replied truthfully: "Master Yue, I know what you mean, the cost will not come down in the short term, and this kind of technology cannot make a castrated version. A big weakening, and secondly, transplanting cheap core hearts to acquired strengthened soldiers will kill them, and they will not live long."

Yue Bowen couldn't help but feel a little bit regretful, and said with a smile after thinking about it: "The technology is already very good, but the military is too demanding and too high."

"However, there is a way that can be relatively cheap." At this moment, Gu Cheng suddenly said this.

As soon as these words came out, the hearts of Yue Bowen and his staff officers present were instantly ignited, and everyone's eyes became hot involuntarily. Yue Bowen couldn't help but hastily said: "Is there any other technology? That's great!! "

When it comes to professional scientific and technical issues, Gu Cheng's words are the most important. When it comes to technology, he is a professional. There is no doubt that he is an authority on technology.

"I can increase the resistance coefficient of high temperature and gravity overload of airborne paratroopers by upgrading the exoskeleton power armor. The specific cost of such an upgraded set of portable peripheral equipment is definitely higher than that of the current army equipment. Skeletal power armor is more expensive, but it should not exceed one-tenth of the cost of a super soldier." Gu Cheng said, his tone is also very affirmative.

"Reduce by one-tenth?" Yue Bowen calculated for a while, and was stunned: "That would cost about 10 billion..."

Although the relative cost has been reduced by 90%, it is still unaffordable. A paratrooper is 10 billion, and an airborne division is still worth it?
This is not counting the cost of logistics and maintenance, and it is impossible to support it.

Gu Cheng said with a smile: "Master Yue, your figures include the consumption of super pilots for 35 years. The one-tenth I said refers to the super fighters who have only completed the acquired enhancement... About three to five billion .”

Yue Bowen said in a deep voice: "Three to five hundred million... It's still too expensive, but at least there is something to look forward to."

One of the staff officers present said: "If we can't get an airborne division, we can squeeze in an airborne regiment. I think there is still a lot of hope. I will submit it to the headquarters for in-depth research and see if the funding problem can meet the requirements." .”

Yue Bowen looked at the crowd and said with a smile: "Let's stop here. Mr. Gu just flew over after a long journey, so let's take a rest first, and there will be a good show the day after tomorrow."

Gu Cheng subconsciously asked curiously: "Good show?"

Hearing this, Yue Bowen smiled mysteriously: "The Tianzhou space station sent all foreign astronauts back to the ground a month ago, and there is no follow-up international cooperation plan in the next six months. People have already been sent to the space station, and the day after tomorrow we will carry out the first orbital airborne in history, relying on the Tianzhou space station, this is by far the best airborne test platform!"

Huaguo's high-tech achievements are not limited to Tianqing Technology Group. Although Tianqing Technology is now outstanding and quite eye-catching, other cutting-edge scientific research institutions are not useless, and they are actually striving to move forward.

No, the airborne capsule that Gu Cheng just evaluated as too ugly is the latest major achievement that the Institute of Space Technology is proud of. This round iron lump is ugly, but it is not ugly. Out of the sky, this is not the point, the biggest reason why the military favors it is that the leather is durable and cheap, which means that it can be built in batches, and it can even be used as a consumable.
