(greatly added 15/25 for driden)

"It's absolutely impossible! You're bragging! Jiang Sen's face was a little distorted, and he was in a state like crazy, "The surname Liu, you are lying, sooner or later you will be exposed!" You can't fool me......"

Is this crazy?

Liu Yijiu really didn't expect that Johnson would go crazy at this time.

From the very beginning, the tanks of the Ninth Academy appeared, and then to the technical crushing of the Type 80 tank that Johnson was responsible for presiding over the introduction of technology, and spending hundreds of millions of dollars in the end, the pressure on Johnson was completely unimaginable to Liu Yijiu and others.

So, he's crazy.

"Isn't it too much for us to do this?" Liu Yijiu asked Long Yaohua.

If it weren't for the fact that they kept a low profile at the beginning, didn't introduce the performance of their tanks, and always admitted that their tank technology was inferior to the imported ones, in the end, Johnson wouldn't have been like this.

Long Yaohua shook his head, "It's a good thing that he's crazy!" Someone has to take responsibility for this. Hundreds of millions of dollars! ”

If Johnson had had a better relationship with the Ninth Academy, instead of targeting the Ninth Academy from the beginning, and had been able to learn about the technology of the Ninth Academy, and had not introduced so much, it would not have caused a waste of the military's already tight scientific research funds, and such a result would not have occurred.

He's completely self-defeating.

"At least, he's also doing it for the good of the country." Liu Yijiu sighed, people are crazy, so there is no need to step on him a few more times.

"Are your technologies really successful? Have you entered the practical application stage? Because of Johnson's madness, the meeting could not go on, but it also achieved the result that Liu Yijiu wanted. The military will at least remain cautious in the future introduction of technology.

Otherwise, the Ninth Academy will let those in charge become the next Johnson.

Liu Yijiu nodded, "If it is said that it has completely entered the practical stage, it can also be said that the cost is too high." Just a 1800 horsepower engine, this thing, will increase the cost by hundreds of thousands, this is not the most important thing, it is completely an oil tiger, our army's logistics support, not to mention, the military can not support the huge training funds......"

The situation of the country is like this, with advanced equipment, it may not be able to use it.

"So, this tank, the army can't equip it now? At the beginning, you told me that the cost would not exceed 20 million, why did it suddenly exceed 30 million? Long Yaohua was very dissatisfied with Liu Yijiu's temporary price increase.

Liu Yijiu said at the beginning that it was less than 20 million, so in this way, according to the combination of high and low, there is no problem for the military to equip hundreds of vehicles in a few hundred years.

Now the cost is more than 10 million at once, how can the military accept such a price?

"Just because Johnson and they have been targeting us, when I go back, I ask them to get everything that can cause technical crushing on their Type 80. At the beginning, the tanks that we were going to provide to the military were not equipped with missile modules, did not have reactive armor, and had some internal electronic systems. Liu Yijiu explained the situation. After all, we didn't know what technologies they had introduced, and if we knew that their tanks were such rubbish, we wouldn't need to increase the configuration at all, and we would be able to crush them technically. ”

It was really holding back this breath at the beginning, so he asked Jiang Ming and others to add a lot of configurations to it when he should have reduced the allocation, causing the cost to almost double.

"Your design is not qualitative, how can it be so easy to modify? That's not a lot of time, right? Qi Hao has always been suspicious of Liu Yijiu, who has been deliberately trying to clean up Jiang Sen early in the morning.

He didn't think that the Ninth Academy would be able to install missile modules and reactive armor in a very short period of time, and even some other configurations.

"Chief, you really wronged me about this. Many of our tank production are general-purpose, and the missile modules that are installed on it are the reactive armor used on the Ronvisan, which is a reactive armor block made by hanging a layer of inert explosives on the outside of the composite armor...... This is the benefit of the modular design, which allows for quick down-and-out additions as needed, as the interface is reserved at the outset. After all, if all of them are in accordance with the top configuration standards, our military cannot afford to use it, not to mention, it is still a serious waste. ”

Modular design, which the Ninth Academy has been working on since the beginning of these projects.

In order to make the various tank parts more common, they constantly improved the original design and revised the design of the new project. In this way, we will be able to effectively enhance our logistical support capability and reduce our logistical burden.

"Can the parts of the dragon guard be used for this?"

You must know that the Longwei and the six wheels of the Ninth Courtyard are two completely different tanks.

"Modular design. The missile module is universal, and even the weapon system is universal......" Liu Yijiu immediately explained to the two bigwigs what is called modular design and modular production.

This is an inevitable development in the future, and the military does not know much about this aspect.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, although China has obtained a complete set of industrial systems from the big brother of the Soviet Union, it has always had a huge and chaotic system in military production, with guns of various calibers being produced and all kinds of equipment and technologies being used.

"In this way, you tanks can cut out some unnecessary modules, thus effectively reducing costs. If we remove those complex electronic systems, or even some unnecessary data connection systems, can the cost be reduced to less than 10 million? After learning about the benefits of modular design, Qi Hao asked Liu Yijiu with bright eyes.

Liu Yijiu rolled his eyes at him.

Anyway, he is also the Minister of Logistics, and I thought this was buying Chinese cabbage in the market!

"It's not possible. Strong armor defense, heavy firepower, and good mobility are basically the minimum configuration. Of course, the missile module these can be canceled. If some of the internal electronic systems are eliminated, the cost can be reduced to 17 million, but in that case, it will have a very big impact on the performance of the tank. Liu Yijiu weighed it, and he felt that there were not many things in it that could be canceled.

But in order for the military to have more advanced tanks, and this kind of tank is ready to be used for half a century from the beginning, it is completely possible to add these modules when the technology is upgraded later, as long as the interface is left.

"The air conditioning inside has been canceled. Just add a fan. We are not capitalism, war is inherently hard, and we can't covet enjoyment......" Qi Hao was very dissatisfied with these humanized functional designs of the Ninth Academy.

Anyway, their purpose now is to reduce the configuration and let Liu Yijiu lower the price.

Liu Yijiu can't do such a thing, there are things that seem useless now, but at a critical moment, they can completely save the lives of soldiers.

"Chief, these things are an important means to ensure the combat capability of soldiers. In order to reduce costs, we can even cancel the function of the tank to dive in a confined environment, which alone can basically reduce the cost by millions. Of course, this is on the basis of 30 million...... "Liu Yijiu is very helpless.

Any national defense science and technology worker will be very helpless about such a thing.

Because, they came up with advanced weapons and equipment, but in the end, because this advanced needs huge funds to support, they have to reduce this advanced performance by themselves.

"The cost of 17 million is the manufacturing cost without research funds. If the military finally decides to purchase, no matter how much it is, we will sell it to the military for 20 million. "Liu Yijiu, this is a bloody investment." Of course, at the moment, there is no need for the army to procure, we need to rebuild the tanks in front of us. ”

"It's too casual for you to call Liulun, have you ever thought of giving it a good name?" Qi Hao asked Liu Yijiu with a frown.

The projects of the Ninth Academy are like this, because they do not need to be reviewed and approved above, which makes their projects arbitrarily named.

"After all, after the design is finalized, it can't just be called six wheels, right?" Seeing Liu Yijiu staring blankly at him, Qi Hao explained. "Although the technical research and development of your Ninth Academy is rigorous, it is too unrigorous in these project plans......

"To be honest, we really haven't thought about it." Liu Yijiu said with a wry smile, the name is not important, as long as the performance is outstanding. "Perhaps, we can first produce a small number of minimum configuration tanks for the military to conduct combat tests."

"Aren't the Blues equipped?" Qi Hao was a little surprised, Liu Yijiu didn't equip such an advanced tank to the Blue Army, would his father-in-law agree? "The Blue Army is responsible for the exploration of the direction of our domestic army construction. The modernization of the armed forces is counting on the blue army. ”

"Chief, in order to equip our country with these tanks, what are you going to do?" Liu Yijiu was a little helpless. "But don't worry, we currently have a preliminary plan to equip a battalion of the Blue Army, more than 30 vehicles, and a few of them in various configurations, to form a high and low match with the Dragon Guard tanks equipped by the Blue Army, so as to reduce costs while effectively ensuring combat capability."

"Your tank is not numbered, or it is set to be a Type 87 main battle tank?"

Liu Yijiu shook his head and refused.

The tanks of the Ninth Courtyard don't use these.

"Are we going to call it six wheels from now on?"

"Then call it the Destroyer. Destroy all enemies who dare to invade our territory, strong defense can effectively ensure their survival on the battlefield, and fierce firepower allows the enemy to be destroyed...... "Liu Yijiu wanted to say that it was called the apocalypse at first, after all, it was once a very popular game in more than ten years later.
