. Green Lake Building, a temporary R&D and manufacturing center.

Shi Lei's fantasy of individual flight function was completely realized by Li Chai, whether it was the stability of the flight or the problem of volume miniaturization, it was overcome by Li Chai!

"Okay, okay, Brother Shi, you're the uncle!" Li Chai said helplessly, "First, although the hydrogen fuel tank only has a capacity of 10 liters, the volume of gaseous fuel is basically meaningless, because gas can be highly compressed. ”

Speaking of this, Li Chai smumbly digressed the topic, "Brother Shi, this set of hydrogen fuel propulsion system I designed has completely reached the world's cutting-edge level. The whole system includes water vapor condensation, pure water electrolysis, gas collection, gas compression, electrolyzer self-cleaning and other integrated functions. ”

"Getting to the point!" Shi Lei reminded Li Chai .

Li Chai smiled and continued, "This hydrogen fuel propulsion system has many integrated functions, it can collect moisture in the air anytime and anywhere in the atmospheric environment, condense it into distilled pure water, and then compress and preserve hydrogen and oxygen after electrolysis. Therefore, in the atmosphere environment, whether it is combat or standby, theoretically speaking, as long as the energy core made based on the N235 metal phase 3 application scheme still has enough energy, the raider has no time limit. ”

"As for the maximum combat time of three hours, it is in a non-atmospheric environment. For example, after the Raider has been flying upwards through the atmosphere and into space, the hydrogen fuel propulsion system can no longer continuously replenish the hydrogen energy supply, and can only rely on the internal storage of hydrogen fuel and the combustion of oxygen as an accelerant. So. There is a three-hour limit. Li Chai said a fact that shocked Shi Lei.

The second-generation raiders can actually pass through the atmosphere. Enter the environment of outer space!

"Little Lizi, you're not kidding?" Shi Lei said with a frown.

If the raiders were really so powerful. Wouldn't the Raiders be able to attack satellites in outer space?

Li Chai Gan laughed, "Ahem, cough, Brother Shi, you know, that's just a theory, a theory!" After all, the environment of outer space is completely different from the atmosphere environment, plus all kinds of cosmic ray problems, even if the performance of the Raider's propulsion system allows access to outer space, but the Raider's internal electronic systems. Nor can it withstand the harsh environment of outer space. So, in theory, raiders can go into outer space! ”

Shi Lei glared at Li Chai, "At this time, are you still joking?" ”

"Brother Shi, I'm not kidding! If we are willing to invest in completely replacing the electronic equipment inside the raider, the raider can indeed enter the space environment. Li Chai said solemnly.

Shi Lei listened to 'willing to invest', and suddenly thought of something. "Tell me, how much does it cost to manufacture a raider with flight capabilities?"

When he just checked the parameters, Shi Lei found that the second-generation Raider used two SSHP high-energy motors. More or less mentally prepared, I'm afraid that the manufacturing cost of the second-generation raiders will not be cheap.

Li Chai scratched his head in a strange voice. asked, "Hey, Brother Shi." Are you sure, I didn't sue you. Is it expensive to manufacture a new generation of raiders? ”

Shi Lei's bad feeling in his heart is even stricter!

"How much, exactly?" Shi Lei took a deep breath and was ready to accept Li Chai's digital destruction!

Li Chai whispered: "Ah, it's not expensive, it's not expensive, the most expensive part is two SSHP high-energy motors, each of which costs $14 million." The Raider's body materials, internal electronics, surface scattering treatment, and all sorts of miscellaneous expenses add up to $600,000! ”

Shi Lei breathed a sigh of relief, and sure enough, the most expensive parts were indeed two SSHP high-energy motors. Of course, these costs cannot be taken into account for the energy core manufactured based on the N235 metal third-stage application scheme.

If you want to calculate, Shi Lei doesn't know how the energy core should be priced!

"That's fine! In other words, every Raider with flight capabilities costs $28.6 million to build, right? "Shi Lei's mathematical calculation ability is very good, such a simple calculation, it is impossible to make mistakes!

"Ugh!" Li Chai shook his head, "No! Brother Shi, you undercounted $25 million! ”

"What?" Shi Lei's expression was stunned, "What $25 million?" How to produce... it! Little plum, you say, isn't that damn hydrogen-fueled propulsion system? ”

Li Chai nodded with an innocent expression, "Brother Shi, think about it, the integrated hydrogen fuel propulsion system contains so many functions, not only five propulsion engines with a power of 500 horsepower, but also a series of integrated functions, don't these functional modules cost money?" That's just $25 million! If this integrated system is sold to the arms company of the country, I am afraid that it will cost 250 million US dollars, and they are willing to take over! ”

Shi Lei snorted lightly, he didn't believe that Li Jianguo's arms company would take over!

This is not to say that the things designed by Li Chai are not worth so much money, but the things designed by Li Chai are too targeted!

Represented by an integrated hydrogen-fueled propulsion system, if it leaves the energy core made of N235 metal, it will be nothing, just a waste with good parameters, but no practical use!

Shi Lei took a deep breath, since the manufacturing cost of the third-generation Dawner could reach $92 million. Well, the manufacturing cost of the second-generation Raiders, which amounted to $53.6 million, is also not unacceptable.

Wait a minute!

Shi Lei suddenly thought of a question!

If the integrated hydrogen fuel propulsion system is integrated into the Dawner, doesn't that mean that the cost of the Dawner will increase by a further $25 million?

The original manufacturing cost is already 92 million US dollars, plus 25 million US dollars of integrated hydrogen fuel propulsion system, the dawner of increased flight functions, the manufacturing cost has officially exceeded 100 million US dollars, reaching an astonishing height of 117 million US dollars?

Shi Lei once thought that after Mirui Technology Group made a lot of money, he would not have any economic problems at all, but now that he thinks about it, it seems a little naïve, right?

With more than 30 billion US dollars, it seems that it can't withstand too much toss, right?

'Nimadan, I am a poor man! A sentence suddenly popped up in Shi Lei's heart, and then he guessed at Li, "Little Lizi, temporarily make four second-generation raiders." In addition, four third-generation Dawners can add an integrated hydrogen-fueled propulsion system kit, right? ”

Li Chai thought about it for a while, and finally frowned and said, "Brother Shi, if you add an integrated hydrogen fuel propulsion system to the third-generation Dawner, I'm afraid the cost price will rise a little." ”

"Why?" Shi Lei was puzzled. Do different platforms still have to increase their prices?

Li Chai explained: "Some additional thermal insulation equipment needs to be added, and relying only on the thermal insulation performance of snow silver metal will probably make the driver of the Dawner unable to withstand the heat emitted by the hydrogen fuel thruster!" ”

Although the thermal insulation performance of Snow Silver metal is very good, the heat emitted by the hydrogen fuel propulsion far exceeds that of the SSHP high-energy electric motor.

Think about the temperature at which hydrogen and oxygen are combusted, that's no joke!

Therefore, if the integrated hydrogen fuel propulsion system is to be installed on the third-generation Dawner, a series of optimization work needs to be carried out.

"How much does it take?" Shi Lei was a little speechless.

"Don't worry, Brother Shi, it's definitely not more than a million dollars!" Li Chai made a promise!

Shi Lei finally breathed a sigh of relief, Li Chai really made him love and hate, Li Chai is a genius boy, he can always complete some world-class scientific problems, but the price is a high cost, even an unacceptable cost.

Every time Li Chai said that he wanted to increase the cost, Shi Lei felt heartache!

"Well, that's not a problem!" Shi Lei has the ability to fly for the third generation of dawners, which can be regarded as a lot of hard work. After all, with the ability to fly comes the possibility of conquering the skies.

If the third generation of the Dawner really completed the transformation of the flight function, it would become the glory of crossing the sky!

……

The other side of the world.

It's not just the Mi Rui Tech Group that is improving, but so is its enemy, the Solomon.Devil organization. Moreover, the leader of the Solomon.Devil organization, the Serpent of Chaos, is also improving!

The identity of the Serpent of Chaos is very mysterious, and even the members of the Solomon.Devil organization know his identity, and it can even be said that Yahweh alone knows the true identity of the Serpent of Chaos.

But even Yahweh doesn't know what kind of cards the Serpent of Chaos holds!

Somewhere in a mysterious place, the Serpent of Chaos is riding an elevator, and from the simple screen of the elevator, it can be seen that the elevator is descending.

After about a minute, the elevator slowly stopped. At this time, the depth of the elevator descending has exceeded 300 meters. At a depth of three hundred meters, the Serpent of Chaos was still wearing a pitch-black robe, encasing all the parts of his body in it, making it impossible to distinguish his identity.

At a depth of three hundred meters underground, the Chaos Serpent walked inside a metal passage, which did not seem to be anything unusual, but it was only a façade. If there is no access permission, this metal passage will become a death passage, and the automated weapon can definitely kill the beetle series of genetically modified warriors!

The Chaos Serpent passed through the metal passage and stopped in front of an alloy gate, only to see the Chaos Serpent stretched out its right hand and pressed it on the fingerprint reader, the arms and palms of the Chaos Serpent were very white, not much worse than the woman's skin color.

As the fingerprint verification was revealed, the alloy door slowly opened. Looking through the crack in the alloy door, there is a biological gene room inside....
