"$800 million? Not $650 million, and I don't want to be reduced to $600 million, or $500 million?" Dr. Stepan was a little surprised.

As a result of the constant deduction of research funds from above, Dr. Stepan, subconsciously, has formed a solid-state concept.

So when Ma Wei said that he would give him 800 million directly, Stepan was in a state of stunned state. It wasn't until two seconds later that he reacted. But by this time, Ma Wei had already transferred the phone to Dr. Peter.

"Hey, hey, sir, is what you just said true?" Dr. Stepan asked, repeating himself over the phone. If it hadn't been for his friend's introduction, Stepan would have thought that the other party was joking with himself.

"It's all true, Stepan. You've been so busy right now!" Dr. Peter, handing the phone aside, and said happily for his friend. Since Ma Wei has finished what he is going to say here, the amplifier of the mobile phone has also been changed to earpiece mode.

Happiness came too suddenly, and at this time, Stepan was still on his lunch break. I didn't expect a phone call, but it seemed that I was going to change the direction of my life.

"Peter, who is the gentleman I was talking to? I didn't even have time to ask his name!" Dr. Stepan remembered, not knowing his name. can only judge from the voice that the person on the phone is very young, but the calmness and courage in his tone are not like pretending. Obviously, it is the kind of spirit that has been cultivated in a high position.

Hearing his friend's name, Dr. Peter was stunned for a moment. Just now, because of someone's nuclear-powered nuclear torpedo project, he was a little unrelieved. So in terms of introduction, there was some negligence.

"Ahem, the gentleman you talked to just now, his name is Ma Wei. Dr. Peter hurriedly added to his friend.

As soon as I heard the name Mavi, I saw Dr. Stepan on the other end of the phone, and his eyes suddenly widened, and he repeated, "Mr. Mavi? is the Mikoyan family Mr. Mavi?

I have to say that someone's name is still quite influential in Russia. Although Stepan had never met or dealt with Mavi, his name, his great achievements, were heard so often that he heard them.

"That's right, it's Mr. Mavi of the Mikoyan family. So old friends, hurry up and sort out the information and recruit the R&D team. You're going to have a lot of work right away!" Dr. Peter said with certainty over the phone.

Because of someone's status, Dr. Peter, as an intermediary, is also particularly face-saving. And this is still a great favor for his old friend, so it makes him feel satisfied.

……

The nuclear-powered underwater vehicle project was launched under the phone call from Ma Wei. However, before officially embarking on the process, Ma Wei still needs to find those military bigwigs at the Russian Navy headquarters to ventilate first.

Let one of them know that there is such a project in the pipeline. It is expected that the project proposal and relevant details will be presented soon.

So Mavi asked his subordinates to bring his satellite phone, and then called Admiral Panorovich at the naval headquarters.

This accomplished admiral has previously been responsible for two underwater ship research and development projects. But then the project was interrupted due to the collapse of the Soviet economy. Until now, there has been no sign of recovery.

"Hey, hello, Admiral Panorovich, it's me Mavi, how are you doing lately?" The two had met before at the big military parade on Red Square and on some important occasions. These are Ma Wei's connections and resources, which can come in handy at critical moments.

"Oh!ha! Ma Wei, why did you suddenly remember and call me? I've been okay lately, I've been quite idle, and I feel like I've entered retirement early. Admiral Panorovich said jokingly on the phone. In fact, the last thing a soldier like him likes is to be idle. I always want to give full play to my spare energy and make more contributions to the motherland and the military.

Ma Wei heard what the other party meant, and was complaining in disguise that he had nothing to do at the moment. So he took a breath and said straight to the point, "That's right, Admiral Panorovich, I have a project on a nuclear-powered underwater vehicle that needs to be launched." ”

"The main purpose of this project is to enable the Russian Navy to have the combat strength against enemy aircraft carrier battle groups and destroyer groups. This nuclear-powered underwater vehicle can be seen as an improved version of the T15 nuclear torpedo. The explosive yield can reach 15 million tons of TNT! Detonating on the seabed, the power can directly trigger a tsunami. ”

Its power system, which is nuclear-powered, can dive into the sea at a depth of 1,000 meters, and approach the target at a speed of 107 knots per hour and a range of 10,000 kilometers. This makes it difficult for enemy sonar detection to detect its presence. Even if the sonar matrix detects fluctuations in advance, the opponent will not be able to intercept them at all. ”

Based on the memory of his previous life, Mavi informed Admiral Panorovich of the relevant data of the Poseidon nuclear torpedo in its original form. The Navy veteran on the other end of the phone almost stood up from his position. Exceptional interest in this project!

"An improved version of the T15 nuclear torpedo, capable of reaching a speed of 107 knots per hour and a range of 10,000 kilometers?" said General Panorovich, who was deeply attracted by Mavi's project. Such a terrifying underwater vehicle, once developed, will definitely increase the deterrent power of the Russian Navy by a large margin.

After all, let's not talk about nuclear-powered torpedoes, just talking about this T15 nuclear torpedo, that's not a small one. It was once the largest torpedo in the world, 30 meters long, 1550 mm caliber, and had an explosive yield of 10 million tons of TNT. Once it is sent over, it can make most of New York raze to the ground.

However, because it is too crazy and difficult to break through the enemy lines, it is easy to injure your own fleet. So this weapon was eventually scrapped.

The T15 nuclear torpedo has a range of about 35 nautical miles and a speed of 45 knots per hour. This means that nuclear submarines and warships carrying this torpedo need to first break through the enemy's coastal defenses, and then get close enough distance before they can carry out a nuclear torpedo strike on enemy targets. This risk is really very great, and if you can't even carry a torpedo with a nuclear submarine, it will be served before it can be handled, and the gains really outweigh the losses.

Ma Wei's proposal directly and perfectly solves the shortcomings of the T15 nuclear torpedo, which has a short range and is easy to be injured by mistake. And its 1,000-meter deep diving voyage, plus an ultra-high-speed operation of 107 knots per hour. It is certain that once this nuclear-powered torpedo, was developed. There is no country in the world that can stop or intercept it! Including Russia itself......
