Rebirth of a technological power - Chapter 298 Big Mecha Order
This is a troubled time!
The whole world is in turmoil and war.
Today, beacon smoke is burning here, and tomorrow, beacon smoke is burning there.
The originally established global trading system has been completely shattered.
Dollars, euros, can no longer buy things from around the world.
Currencies such as pounds, francs, and marks reappeared.
Husband and wife are like birds in the same forest, they fly separately when disaster strikes!
When you are enjoying happiness, you can naturally live happily together. Even if there are some small frictions sometimes, it is not impossible to overcome them in the end.
But when a catastrophe is approaching, it is natural that we can no longer share the hardships. When conflicts increase, no one wants to integrate.
China’s trade will inevitably remain unaffected by this turmoil.
After all, at this time, the ancient profession of piracy has ushered in a new golden age.
Somali Pirates, Cape Pirates, Pirates of the Caribbean.
There seem to be pirates in every ocean.
In order to protect the route, more naval surface ships and underwater ships have to be built to ensure the safety of the route.
It’s just different from before. Surface ships and underwater ships are mostly based on nuclear batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, and lithium-air batteries.
After the submarine is installed with batteries, its endurance is greatly increased, its noise is greatly reduced, and its deterrence is even more powerful than that of a strategic nuclear submarine.
After all, the most important thing about submarines is their stealth. They lurk in the ocean and are difficult to detect, making them an important force in deterrence.
The traditional “trinity” strategic nuclear force refers to the nuclear force composed of ground-to-ground strategic missile forces, strategic missile submarine forces and strategic bomber forces. It is conceivable that the role of the strategic missile submarine force is played.
But now, it is no longer a “trinity” strategic nuclear force, but a “four-in-one” strategic nuclear force.
There is one more space strategic force!
Of course, this point has been mentioned repeatedly in recent years, but it has never been officially certified.
In order to ensure the safety of the route, naval warship escort is only part of the process, and the construction of the force has to make some adjustments.
After rigorous research, the military determined to build a mecha unit to ensure a deterrent force on future battlefields.
Cai Jin personally arrived at the entrance of the headquarters building and greeted the military delegation.
This time the military delegation was very strong, with more than twenty people.
Representatives from the Army, Navy, Air Force and even the Aerospace Forces are among the military delegation.
Cai Jin invited them to the reception room on the top floor. No one might come here once a year, but every time they used it, it represented an absolute distinguished guest.
“Boss Cai, we want to know if the information is true?” the leader of the old man asked in a deep voice.
“Mr. Xu, there is no doubt about this. I think the credibility of our Future Technology Group is still guaranteed.” Cai Jin nodded and gave an absolutely affirmative answer.
Others discussed in low voices.
Ever since the mecha meeting was held, they realized that this was a weapon and equipment that could subvert the entire battlefield.
The warrior in the mecha is simply superhuman.
The lowest level mecha, a soldier can be fearless of bullets, but they are submachine gun bullets, pistol bullets, sniper rifles, and even artillery shells. As long as they are not in the core killing zone of the artillery shells, they will be safe.
The most advanced mechas can survive in space, in the depths of the ocean, even in nuclear explosion areas, instead of being killed directly.
I wonder why they don’t pay attention to mechas.
In a certain sense, the mecha is even more useful than the current combat mechanical dog.
But the cost of the mecha is much higher.
But the military has realized that no matter what, it must establish a mecha unit.
The army’s mecha troops will be a nightmare for the enemy, and can easily fight annihilation battles on the battlefield.
Air Force mecha units can directly conduct airdrops to reduce the risk of airdrops and increase the combat capabilities of airdrop units.
The naval mecha unit can bring about earth-shaking changes in the combat effectiveness of the Marine Corps.
The mecha unit of the Aerospace Army is even simpler. In case of emergency, it can directly and quickly reach thousands of miles away through the aerospace aircraft, implementing a global arrival strategy.
This significance is much greater than the previous use of laser weapons to destroy satellites, aircraft, missiles, and radar positions.
Sometimes, they even have the idea that their thinking cannot adapt to future wars.
In today’s situation, the pressure on the military is increasing.
After all, to protect the legitimate rights and interests of overseas citizens, efforts from all parties are required.
But in everything, the military is always the strongest backing.
The army is what deters everything.
During this period, the Air Force troops have continued to make high-profile appearances, and the purpose is self-evident, which is to deter some people with ulterior motives.
Even for this reason, aerospace fighter jets directly destroyed a scrapped satellite, and it was broadcast live around the world.
Although it is said that the former neighbor to the south, the Mountain Division, suffered heavy losses, lost a lot of places, and became much quieter, it has also become a powder keg. No one knows when the powder keg will be ignited.
And there are more than 1.4 billion people there.
Although, after verification, it is very unlikely that the southern neighbor will run wild to the north, we must always be on the safe side. After all, this neighbor cannot be inferred based on common sense.
The north, west, east, etc., all have to spend energy.
The mecha troops have become a bargaining chip to increase deterrence.
Of course, the most important thing is actually the peacekeeping force.
Although peacekeeping forces have already been equipped with combat mechanical dogs and mechanical bulls, which have greatly enhanced their combat effectiveness, the environment has also changed and the risks they face are increasing day by day.
With mechas, the safety of the peacekeeping troops will be greatly guaranteed.
After all, the peacekeeping forces encounter most concealed guns and bombs, not cannons and missiles.
I took a closer look at the various types of mechas.
“Boss Cai, we plan to purchase 10,000 F-type mechas, 1,000 E-type mechas, 500 D-type mechas, and 100 C-type mechas.” The old man said, “I don’t know how long your group will need. Can it be delivered?”
“Also, if you license the technology, how long do you expect it to be for mass production?” The old man looked at Cai Jin.
Obtaining technical authorization and producing it in the arsenal is definitely a solution.
After all, only in this way can we know the cost of various types of mechas.
The costs mentioned now are just what Cai Jin said. Who knows the specific cost?
Cai Jin looked surprised.
Because this order was beyond his expectation.
The F-type mecha costs 6 million yuan per piece, and 10,000 pieces is 60 billion yuan.
The cost of an E-type mecha is 20 million yuan, and a thousand pieces is 20 billion yuan.
The cost of a D-type mecha is 50 million yuan, and 500 pieces cost 25 billion yuan.
The cost of a C-type mecha is 100 million yuan, and 100 pieces is 10 billion yuan.
Even if Cai Jin sells it at cost price, the total amount of this order will reach 115 billion yuan!
How much is the annual military expenditure now? Does the military want to spend the whole year eating steamed buns?
“It will take half a year to make the first batch of deliveries, and two years to complete all deliveries.” Cai Jin pondered for a moment, made an estimate, and said slowly: “If technology authorization is carried out, based on my understanding of the military factory, at least It takes five years to fully understand the technology, and it may take ten years for mass production.”
Some things don’t just need to be given to technology.
You have to thoroughly research and understand the technology before you can produce it. Otherwise, there will be various problems.
The most critical thing is that this mecha involves a lot of new materials, and the production of new materials is not that fast.
It’s not that Cai Jin underestimated the military factory, but that the military factory itself has developed various new weapons, and these new weapons are being installed.
The output of advanced weapons and equipment increases very slowly.
After all, this is not war time.
All the leaders looked at each other, but they felt that what Cai Jin said made sense.
Just like the aerospace aircraft, it took the Aviation Industry Group several years to master the technology and produce a qualified aerospace army. But now, the output of the aerospace aircraft is still somewhat unsatisfactory.
At least the Air Force has scolded me many times. If it weren’t for the persuasion from all parties, it might have placed an order with Future Technology Group again.
If they do this, the sky plane incident may happen again.
“Boss Cai, what do you think about using your group’s annual tax as your cost price?” the leader looked at Cai Jin.
The information Cai Jin gave was the manufacturing cost of the mecha. As for the purchase price, it’s hard to say how much it would cost.
Furthermore, this procurement must not go through normal channels. If it goes through normal channels, the army will have to live on bread and forget about updating equipment.
Cai Jin nodded slightly, Future Technology Group’s annual taxes were quite a lot.
But there is another trouble, because this tax is both a national tax and a local tax, which is not unified.
“Leader, what are we going to do about the tax?” Cai Jin frowned.
“You can just file your taxes as normal. We will submit the documents to the tax department at that time,” the leader said.
After discussing the matter, Cai Jin accompanied the leaders for a walk on the beach.
In recent years, military weapons and equipment have been updated very quickly, and many weapons and equipment that were previously in service have been phased out for export.
The armored forces and tanks are mainly third-generation main battle tanks, and are also equipped with a number of fourth-generation main battle tanks. As for those second-generation tanks and second-generation semi-tanks, they have all been eliminated. Except for a few that have been put on display in museums, the others have been exported.
Personnel carriers and armored vehicles are also new equipment, and those that were originally in service have been eliminated.
As for the Air Force, the entire aircraft cemetery has been emptied. Those modified drones are playing an important role in various parts of the world, either for land surveying or for farm spraying. Of course, the countries where they are purchased are used in some places. , they can’t control it either.
As for the second-and-a-half-generation aircraft that were still in service, all of them have been eliminated. Now they are matched with third- and fourth-generation aircraft. Air and space fighters play a dominant role and serve as a deterrent force.
As for the Navy, years of continuous dumplings have resulted in a significant increase in the total tonnage of warships. Even if a part of the warships are handed over to the Coast Guard, it still reaches an objective number. Five aircraft carrier fleets ensure that the entire sea area is as stable as Mount Tai.
It’s just that the aircraft carrier fleet is now used to fight against pirates and train troops with pirates.
Although weapons and equipment are updated rapidly, there is no further disarmament.
Even if they are equipped with a lot of combat mechanical dogs and mechanical bulls, their current strength is just enough.
Cai Jin saw off the military delegation and felt quite emotional. This time the military made a big deal and purchased such a mecha all at once.
As a result, a factory must be set up specifically for the production of mechas.
Moreover, the new production base can also increase the schedule.
In addition to the possibility of expanding production capacity in the Chengdu production base and the Northeast production base, there is no room for reconstruction of the production base here at the headquarters.
Cai Jin sent an inspection team to conduct research on the production base.
As soon as the news that Future Technology Group was about to add another production base came out, it immediately attracted the attention of various provinces and sent people to contact Future Technology Group.
After all, a production base has a production value of hundreds of billions, which is simply an economic propeller, not to mention providing a large number of jobs.
The bulls are running wild, and a meeting is being held at this time.
After this period of hard work, he finally completed the establishment of the Lunar Mining Group, with the management, middle levels, etc. all completed.
Regarding the plan given by Cai Jin, Niu Benben made some suggestions, and Cai Jin also approved them.
“Everyone, now we need to finalize one thing, and that is our headquarters. Where will our headquarters be located?” Niu Benben raised an issue.
The place where they work now is rented.
As an important territory of Future Technology Group, it is naturally impossible for the office area to be rented all the time.
It is imperative to have a headquarters building belonging to the group.
And unlike other headquarters buildings, the Lunar Mining Group requires a large area. In addition to establishing a headquarters, it also needs a space shuttle hangar, runway and warehouse.
This is destined to occupy a large amount of land for the headquarters of the Lunar Mining Group.
“Chairman, why don’t we set up our headquarters in the west. There is a lot of land in the west. There is no shortage of land. Let alone 10,000 acres of land, it is 100,000 acres of land or even one million acres of land. There is no problem.” General Manager’ Liu Hao’ calmly suggested: “Everyone understands the country’s ‘Desert Transformation Plan’ and the Western Development Strategy, and the environment will definitely be greatly improved in the future.”
Others were reluctant when they first heard about the West. After all, their first impression of the West was that the living environment was harsh and the living conditions were relatively poor.
But Liu Hao said this, and they were too embarrassed to bring this up.
After discussion, it was decided to set up the headquarters of the Lunar Mining Group in the west, and Niu Benben asked an executive to be responsible for the location selection of the headquarters.
“Now, we need everyone to receive professional training. After all, space and the moon are different from the earth. Next, we need to set regulations and train well. We don’t have to wait until the headquarters gives us the space shuttle. We can’t go to the moon for mining yet. In that case, we will all become the laughing stock of the group.” Niu Benben said.
Being in charge of the entire Lunar Mining Group, Niu Benben is under a lot of pressure.
Other groups are developing very well. If the Moon Mining Group fails to achieve results, others will only laugh at him as the person in charge.
