Everyone in the conference room couldn't help but look at each other, they didn't have much opinion on the manufacturing cost of 10 billion US dollars, you must know that the cost of the American Ford-class aircraft carriers exceeded 10 billion US dollars, and the price of 10 billion US dollars for such a super warship like the Kunlun with so many new technologies was far lower than their expectations.

Of course, they also understand that the cost of Ford-class aircraft carriers must include the research and development costs of new technologies such as electromagnetic catapults, electromagnetic arresting cables, and full-life reactors.

However, if you want to add the R&D costs such as laser cannon technology and electromagnetic railgun technology on the Kunlun, I am afraid no one can calculate how much the overall cost of this aircraft carrier will cost.

Admiral Wu Anguo, the commander of the Navy, thought for a moment and said with some hesitation: "Mr. Chen, it's not that we are arrogant, with my understanding of the strength of our country's shipbuilding industry, I'm afraid it will be difficult to build such a warship, right?!"

Another well-known expert from China Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd. also interjected: "Don't talk about China, even the United States cannot have this ability." ”

Most of the people in the room nodded their heads in agreement.

The overall structure, level of informatization, and stealth capability of the Kunlun aircraft-carrying cruiser undoubtedly surpass the new-generation warships being developed by various countries.

According to their assessments, the Kunlun aircraft-carrying cruiser was at least twenty-thirty years ahead of the world. Not to mention the new materials and new processes needed to manufacture this warship, the electromagnetic railgun with a range of more than 500 kilometers on the Kunlun alone is enough to shake all countries.

It is well understood that there is a well-known "Treaty on the Limitation of Ballistic Missile Proliferation" in the world, which prohibits the sale and acquisition of ballistic missiles with a range of more than 300 kilometers and warheads of more than 150 kilograms and related technologies and components.

Later, the limit was further tightened, limiting all ballistic and cruise missiles with a range of more than 300 kilometers and a warhead of 100 kilograms.

So far, no country has openly exported restricted missiles, and most of the missiles sold by the United States are missiles with a range of about 150 km. Russia has privately sold 500-kilometer ballistic missiles to Iraq. North Korea has privately transferred ballistic missile technology with a range of more than 1,000 kilometers to Iran, and most of the missiles exported by China are 100 kilometers rockets, and most of the ballistic missiles exported are about 280 kilometers.

And the emergence of high-power electromagnetic railguns undoubtedly means the end of short-range ballistic missiles.

A short-range ballistic missile delivers a warhead of more than a hundred kilograms hundreds of kilometers away. It costs millions of dollars. And what about the electromagnetic railgun. The price of the shells themselves does not exceed 10,000 dollars, and countries with electromagnetic railguns can casually drop tens of thousands of kinetic artillery shells to local territory, while the enemy can create tens of thousands of short-range ballistic missiles. I'm afraid the whole country will go bankrupt.

If you open your mind again, if any country can produce a super electromagnetic cannon with a range of tens of thousands of kilometers, then this country can easily beat all countries in the world with this super cannon alone, which is the huge advantage brought by the application of high technology and the arms industry.

The only regret is that it is difficult for such a super warship to be realized in the short term.

China's military intelligence department has already made a certain judgment on the details of the war, and Wu Anguo also has a general understanding.

Although some time ago, the two aerospace planes have shown good industrial manufacturing capabilities, but compared with the shipbuilding industry, the current manufacturing capacity of the war is more like a private custom factory, which can create the top industrial products, but cannot form a scale advantage.

And the shipbuilding industry is one of the industries that needs scale the most.

Not to mention anything else, the Kunlun has a displacement of 110,000 tons, and the special steel used in this warship alone may need to be produced by Chinese steel companies for a year or two, and the war situation does not have such a ability at all.

It's a pity, if you want to really build the Kunlun battleship, I'm afraid it will only be possible to wait until the day when the scientific and technological strength of the war and China's industrial manufacturing strength are truly combined.

Chen Xin also seemed to see the thoughts of the participants, smiled slightly, and said: "General Wu, and everyone here, I brought the Kunlun here today, not to ask China's shipbuilding industry to make it immediately, I mean, I hope we can cooperate to build such a super warship." ”

"Co-built?"

Everyone in the conference room was a little surprised.

Chen Xindao: "Yes, it is to build together, before coming to Pearl City, Transwarp Group has made a certain assessment of China's shipbuilding industry, and we believe that with your ability, you can manufacture the hull of the Kunlun." As for the radar electronic system, command and communication system, weapon system and even stealth system on the Kunlun, these can be done by our people, and the Kunlun itself can be completely modularized, and when the time comes, it only needs to borrow the No. 3 dock of the Jiangnan Shipyard to assemble it. Of course, the first Kunlun-class aircraft-carrying cruiser must also be handed over to our people for use. ”

The people present couldn't help but look at each other, no one expected that Chen Xin would have such a plan.

General Wu Anguo's eyes lit up and asked, "Mr. Chen, what about the proportion of capital contribution?"

Chen Xin smiled and said: "The hull part will be built at your expense, and the rest will be funded by ourselves, but I can promise that after the first ship Kunlun is completed and put into service, the second ship can be built with the same plan, the hull will be handed over to you to build, and the various subsystems will be completed by us, and the entire warship can be handed over to the Chinese Navy after completion." ”

There was a buzz in the conference room, if it was really like what Chen Xin said, then the Kunlun really had a chance of success.

Even General Wu Anguo was moved.

China's aerospace department has obtained two Dawn-class aerospace aircraft from the war, the cooperation between the aviation industry and Cybertron Machinery is in full swing, the new generation of turbofan 15 aero engines is about to be loaded on the new J-20, if the Navy can obtain another Kunlun-class aircraft-carrying cruiser, then China will have the capital to dominate the western Pacific region, and then will it need to care about the US Seventh Fleet......?
