Chapter 251: Ma Wei's generosity + export modification missile research and development
"Flying up to Mach 20?" asked Mavi with great interest. With such a fast flight speed, if it were launched at the original plane, it is believed that the vast majority of antimissile systems would probably not have time to intercept it! It would have entered the airspace of the Japanese capital......
If it carries a nuclear warhead, this can definitely be a nuclear peace. It is much more threatening than sending Tu-95 and Tu-160 strategic bombers!
"Yes, Mr. Mavi, the essence of the missile should be called a hypersonic vehicle, combining an air-breathing cruise vehicle with a booster glide vehicle, using a large rocket booster as a delivery carrier, with significant characteristics such as high-speed maneuvering, strong temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, and high probability penetration...... Ukrainian scientist said a lot of professional explanations to Mavi.
I heard a certain scumbag, although I didn't fully understand it, but I didn't know it. Because this is similar to the previous life, Russia's "Pioneer missile". It belongs to the world's leading medium-range missile technology.
Speaking of INMISS, the "INF Contract" in this life only stipulates the destruction of ballistic missiles with a range of 1,000 km to 5,500 km. In the previous life, due to the Cold War, the "INF Contract" was more stringent. Even short-range missiles ranging from 500 km to 1,000 km must be destroyed and must not be developed.
After listening to the scientist's explanation of the terminology, Ma Wei nodded pretending to understand, "Okay, how much money will be needed for the development of these two missiles?"
When it comes to science, Ma Wei may not be good, but when it comes to vulgar money, he is very familiar with it. There's no way someone is so vulgar......
Hearing Mavi ask about funding, the Ukrainian scientists looked at each other with serious expressions, and then tried to say to Mavi, "Regarding the issue of funding, Mr. Mavi is like this, from program research, to missile test launches, and then after countless experimental launches and finalization. You see...... For $400 million, your government... Are you willing to accept it?"
When the Ukrainian scientist asked, he was very apprehensive. After all, they asked their government for project funding before, but the process was tortuous and bizarre, and in the end, they didn't allocate a few dollars. It's all about no money.
Today, the development of two missiles costs 400 million US dollars. With such a huge amount of money, they are very afraid that the Russian government will find the price too expensive and shelve the project, or find their own scientists to come over and develop lower-cost missiles. That would mean that there is nothing to do with them. I can't pursue the scientific research career I love.
However, just when they are so apprehensive in their hearts. I saw Ma Wei standing in front of him, shook his head, and then said lightly to everyone, "400 million US dollars, a little less." Well, I'm going to give you $600 million for project research and development. ”
As soon as Ma Wei's loud words fell, he saw only the Ukrainian scientists and missile engineers standing around, and they were stunned!
"$660 million!? Did I hear me right?"
"What kind of operation is this? And give an extra 200 million US dollars?" Everyone was really shocked, they only saw the upper authorities deducting project funds and reducing expenditures. But I have never seen a project like Ma Wei, who not only thinks the project funding is too low, but also gives an extra $200 million!
That's $200 million...... It's not 20 million, it's not 2 million, and it doesn't blink an eye, and it just smashes it...... It's really rich.
"Mr. Mavi, what you just said is true?" After being surprised, the Ukrainian scientists asked Mavi hesitantly.
Ma Wei laughed after hearing this, he is not a stupid person with a lot of money. It is impossible to give more money for no reason, what if someone embezzles at that time.
"What I just said is true. But I would like to add that the $600 million is not only for the development of the two missiles just mentioned. I also want you to develop self-propelled rocket artillery with a range of 800 kilometers for our army, plus precision guidance technology at a range of 100 kilometers......" Ma Wei said lightly to the scientists.
The $600 million, which he had calculated with someone before he came, was almost enough to develop four ballistic missiles. And this fund is not Ma Wei alone. In the end, he had to take the bill and ask the Russian government for reimbursement. It is a collaborative project.
and other two export missiles, the rocket is successfully developed, and the ensuing international orders will definitely not be less.
I heard that Ma Wei actually wants to develop missiles for export, and it is the kind of missile proliferation agreement that the United Nations and the United States cannot stop. The Ukrainian scientists, as well as the engineers standing in front of him, all rubbed their eyes one by one and listened attentively to his narration.
"As for the short-range missile, on the surface it has a range of 300 kilometers, but I ask that after it is purchased, the customer can add fuel to increase the range to about 750 kilometers. In this regard, to simplify safety, it is best to include a detailed operating manual. In case some countries that don't have the relevant technology understand......" Ma Wei said his thoughts completely.
In this day and age, there is no shortage of technology. What is missing is the kind of creativity that is very much in line with the times. For example, as long as these two modified missiles of Mavi are studied, they will definitely surprise people to the extent of eye-opening! At least these Ukrainian scientists in front of them were amazed by Mavi's ideas.
"Mr. Ma Wei! This direction of your thinking is really very good! The two modified missiles just mentioned, as well as the rockets, should not be very technically difficult. As long as we follow the Thunder missile and the Tornado rocket artillery base, we will improve it. It should be possible to develop a modified missile that meets your requirements!" said the Ukrainian scientist confidently.
Through a brief encounter with Ma Wei, they found out that the reason why someone was able to succeed was not because he was lucky, nor because he had a lot of money in his pocket. It's in the mind, those ideas that subvert the tradition, which make people shine. This talent is very rare.
After all, even if you are a scientist and knowledgeable, you are only a talent in a certain link. To put it bluntly, it is a high-level chess piece, and the person who really influences the chess game is the powerful person who is admired by thousands of people.
"Okay, then the first batch of project funds will arrive at your institute tomorrow. I hope that we, the Russian government, will receive good news as soon as possible. Ma Wei said with a faint smile. After going through so many things, his character has been sharpened to be unfazed. He probably didn't even realize it.
"Thank you, Mr. Mavi, for your support, and thank you for the opportunity given to us by your government!" said the Ukrainian scientists, collectively acknowledging it. With funding, they can continue their research without fear of being transferred out of their jobs.
"Happy cooperation!" Ma Wei said, shaking hands with everyone present. This secret visit was concluded.
