In the villa of the family courtyard of the General Staff, Li Mo was entertaining two familiar guests. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Team Leader Lei, I haven't seen you for a long time, you seem to be a lot darker." Li Mo handed the baby who was asleep in his hand to Li Yanran, and then smiled at Lei Zhen on the sofa.

Lei Zhen and Ding Huiqiang's sudden arrival this time, Li Mo was a little surprised, but he was not unprepared at all. Since the last time he had dinner and reconciliation at the Huaxia Embassy in Somalia, Li Mo knew that Huaxia's foreign policy towards Somalia had changed again, and there was an attitude of making up for the gaps.

The reason for this attitude must be that it is beneficial for China to resolve the gap with Somalia. Although Li Mo did not know what interests Huaxia needed to 'reconcile' with Somalia at the risk of offending the United States and other countries, he knew that this change would also be beneficial to Somalia.

In response to Li Mo's ridicule, Lei Zhen naturally smiled and said, "The weather here is too hot, and it's normal to be a little dark." Lao Ding said that I looked more manly like this. ”

"Haha!" Li Mo and Ding Huiqiang laughed at the same time.

"Team Leader Lei, is there anything you need help with? I will try to help if I can. Li Mo took out a cigarette and scattered one for the two of them, and then lit one.

Li Yanran, who was originally holding the baby, frowned, lightly slapped Li Mo, and then hurriedly hugged the baby back to the room.

"Li Mo, first of all, Lao Ding and I congratulate you on behalf of the country. This is a gift from the chiefs to your daughter. Lei Zhen took out a palm-sized beautifully made box from his briefcase and put it on the coffee table in front of him.

"That's very kind, please convey my thanks to the chair on my behalf." Li Mo picked up the box and opened the corner slightly, his face changed slightly.

He closed the box casually and said hesitantly, "This gift is too expensive." ”

At a glance, he knew what was inside the box. A pendant carved from white jade seems to be a Buddha statue.

With the country's handwriting, naturally there will be no fakes, and Li Mo couldn't help but think of the mutton fat white jade worth thousands of gold.

"Hehe, this is not an antique, but a new carving made by the chief. If it's an antique, the chief won't give it to you. Lei Zhen shook his head slightly and smiled.

Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief, if it wasn't an antique, such a pendant would have a tangible value of tens of thousands. With the status of both parties, it is naturally not a particularly valuable gift.

Accepting the gift, Li Mo asked again, "Aren't you here today all for Daoxi?" Let's be straight, you know I don't like to beat around the bush. ”

Lei Zhen and Ding Huiqiang glanced at each other, but Lei Zhen replied, "Li Mo, then I'll say it directly." The state wants to work with you. ”

"Cooperation? Where? Li Mo asked without a trace of hesitation.

"New alloys! We know from some sources that you have a new alloy in your hands, and the country wants to cooperate with you on the new alloy. Lei Zhen looked at Li Mo's reaction as he spoke, and seeing that the other party's face had not changed, he knew that this matter was almost a joke, so he continued, "If possible, the state hopes to buy the manufacturing technology of the new alloy, and you can put forward the price, and the state will try to meet your requirements." ”

Sure enough, it's for silicon-uranium alloys!

Ever since Mr. Li had North Korea and Syria joined the new tank development team, he knew that the silicon-uranium alloy would leak out sooner or later. This new type of alloy material is too important for countries like Huaxia that lack technology in the field of materials.

"Manufacturing technology, that's impossible to sell." Li Mo shook his head and said, regardless of Lei Zhen's face changes, he continued, "The manufacturing technology of silicon-uranium alloy, we are based on a condition that cannot be replicated, so that industrial production can be carried out to a limited extent. There are still many difficulties in the technology of artificial production that we have not overcome, and even if we tell you, you will not be able to make it. ”

This sentence was heard in the ears of Lei Zhen and Ding Huiqiang, which made the two of them feel confused. I don't know if Li Mo is an excuse for not wanting to sell the technology or if that's the case.

However, when the two came, they were fully prepared. It is speculated that Li Mo will not sell manufacturing technology.

"What about the finished alloy?" Lei Zhen then asked. In the hands of Huaxia Zhengaxe, several surnames and energy data on silicon-uranium alloys have been obtained. There are just a few items that have surprised the relevant experts in Huaxia. Even if the alloy finished product is obtained, many projects that are slow to be studied due to material problems in China's current military manufacturing will be solved immediately, and even this alloy can be used to complete some previously suspended projects.

This is only the information about the alloy that Huaxia has obtained so far, and it is unknown if there are other more friendly surnames of this new alloy.

"If it's a finished product, we can cooperate. But there's one thing I'd like to say first. This alloy is produced in small quantities because we have not yet mastered the process of artificial manufacturing. Be ye prepared for this. Li Mo suddenly said seriously.

The silicon-uranium alloy production line has been in production for more than a month, and the product is about three tons per day. And this production line can only last for a year, and if Y substance is not added, the production line will be shut down.

Lei Zhen's heart sank, but then he thought of the domestic order. also believed Li Mo's words. There are certainly limitations and difficulties in the manufacture of this new alloy, and if large-scale industrial production can be achieved, the military industrial strength of Somalia will definitely be countless times stronger.

"Yes, but we need data and some samples of the silicon-uranium alloy. There is also the price of this alloy. ”

"That's easy to say, you wait a minute!" Li Mo nodded and agreed to Lei Zhen's request, stood up and entered the room, holding a golden five-fourth pistol in his hand for a while.

"This pistol is made entirely of silicon-uranium alloy, which I was going to play with myself, and now I'm giving it to you. And this is the surname energy data about silicon-uranium alloys. Li Mo handed over the May Fourth pistol and a 16-carat piece of paper to Lei Zhen.

Lei Zhen and Ding Huiqiang's faces were happy, Lei Zhen picked up the pistol and looked at it slightly, and carefully put it into the briefcase with the paper.

"And what about the price?"

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Li Mo's mouth, and he said, "Twenty thousand dollars!" ”

"$20,000 a ton, it should be fine!" Lei Zhen said without thinking about it after hearing this.

"No......, not 20,000 tons, but 21,000 kilograms." Li Mo hurriedly shook his head and said.

"What? Twenty-one thousand kilograms? Or the dollar? Lei Zhen and Ding Huiqiang let out an exclamation at the same time.

Li Mo nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes, it's 20,000 US dollars a kilogram." This price still depends on the face of everyone who is Chinese, this is not ordinary copper and iron, but a new type of alloy with an extremely good surname. It can be used in fields with extremely strict material requirements, such as aerospace. Just look at the data of the surname I gave. ”

Lei Zhen and Ding Huiqiang heard Li Mo say this and felt reasonable. After all, the two of them are not experts in this area, they just need to bring Li Mo's offer back, and after the country tests the value of the alloy, they will negotiate with Li Mo.

After sending the two away, Li Mo was immediately happy, and the cost price of the alloy of 1,000 US dollars increased twenty times when he opened his mouth. It's a lot of money. But Li Mo also understood. If you can't master the artificial process of silicon-uranium alloy, with the existing quality of the substance, this price is not expensive at all. Because until alternative technologies are found, there is so much for the whole world.

However, if this price is really reached, there is still a problem. That's the price of the 'Gepard' tank. At the cost of 1.1 tons of alloy per tank, the price of alloy alone amounts to $22 million. Who can afford to buy it at this price? Now the most expensive tank is the Ben 90 tank, which is only $850 a tank, and what about the price of the Cheetah tank? $25 million!

That's the price of a fighter. Even the United States cannot afford to equip it.

Li Mo was in a hurry, the new tank was going to be sold. The price is so expensive, you can't sell a single one.

After talking to Li Yanran, Li Mo immediately rushed to the Industrial Park of Badada Town. Summoned the experts and He Ping.

"Tell me, how do you solve this problem?" Li Mo told the offer with Huaxia just now and the matter of the new tank.

"$25 million, this price is definitely not good." The expert said without thinking.

He Ping smiled bitterly, "We used to calculate the cost of our own production. The cost of a tank is between $2 million and $3 million, which is an acceptable price compared to other third-generation main battle tanks. Judging by the current test data of the new tank, the frontal armor and turret protection capabilities are more than double that of the current main battle tank. And because the tank is shorter, the probability of a frontal hit is greatly reduced, the weight is light, and the maneuverability is strong. The power of the 125mm smoothbore gun with special armor-piercing and armor-piercing shells is enough to threaten the main battle tanks of other countries. Battlefield survivability and attack power are world-class. ”

Li Mo and the experts have the surname energy data of the new tank currently detected in their hands, and it can be said that their saliva is going to flow. But if the price of the tank cannot be compressed, the sales volume is a big problem. Li Mo developed the new tank for export. And not purely armed Wehrmacht.

"Damn, it's a big loss. Forty of each of those three countries, a total of 120 new tanks at cost price. That's more than 130 tons of alloy. Worth 3 billion is equivalent to giving it away for nothing. Li Mo scratched his scalp in annoyance and said.

"The alloys of the new tank are mainly consumed in the frontal armor and turret, which account for 85% of the total. If you want to reduce the amount of alloy, you have to find a way in this regard. The engine is not able to compress the amount used. ”

Li Mo was silent for a while and said, "The amount of alloy must be reduced." He Ping, you and other experts discuss how to reduce the amount of alloys. I think it would be enough to compress the tank's protection capability to the same level as the international advanced level. It's all poor countries, why do they use it so well. ”

"In fact, the most important thing is to overcome the artificial process of silicon-uranium alloy, as long as the technology of artificial production is mastered. This problem was solved naturally. ”
