"The era of the future will inevitably be the era of invisibility." In one corner of the French booth, Mbappe was explaining a new frigate to a new frigate being built at their Atlantic shipyard. As an engineer of the French shipbuilding bureau, Mbappe is full of confidence in this warship. At the same time, there is also a television set in the back, which is playing the information about the warship.

It's only the late eighties, and in this era, the word stealth was proposed, which was quite advanced, and the French liked to do this kind of advanced thing, through some new concepts to fool some customers, no matter what the final value of the concept was, in short, as long as there was a high reason, the price would naturally go up by whizzing.

Moreover, he really flickered, and he looked at the audience that surrounded him, and there were several people, who were wearing military uniforms, like Siamese naval officers.

These people have been here for a long time, and when they first watched it, they watched it from half of the TV, and now, almost for their sake, Mbappe, who was foaming at the stars, did not hesitate to start from scratch and play it again.

In this era, all the superstructures of warships will look messy, and all kinds of radar equipment on the masts are dotted with them, and they will be placed wherever there is a place, and the bridges are also crowded, constituting the image of a messy warship.

However, the warship in front of you is completely different, and when this warship was designed, stealth was considered as the main direction.

"In modern warfare, radar can find targets from a distance, so if we want to disappear in front of the enemy's eyes, we need to think about the appearance." Mbappe said: "You see, the superstructure of our entire warship is quite simple, without any sharp edges or complex shapes. I can't find a vertical part, so naturally in order to reduce the echo of the radar, the entire superstructure, we also deliberately adopt an inclined design, the side part of the ship is 20 degrees inclined inward into a V-shape, close to the superstructure when there is a turn, into an inverted V-shaped tilt of 10 degrees outward. This structure can greatly reduce the radar reflection area, avoid the formation of a strong radar wave total reflection angle, and control the radar echo in a certain direction as much as possible, so that the enemy cannot obtain a complete radar trace. ”

Mbappe introduced quite tall, it is impossible to completely stealth in front of the enemy's radar, this is after all a warship with a displacement of several thousand tons, but it is possible to minimize the echo of the radar, and even they are confident that this will definitely become a trend in the design of warships in the future!

Mbappe introduced this, and sure enough, several Siamese naval officers nodded frequently.

In the TV screen, the warship is sailing, it looks much more beautiful than the model, and the top of the entire warship is extremely simple and clean, almost a big shell, covering all the equipment. For example, small boats are contained inside the superstructure and closed with special curtains, anti-ship missiles are semi-buried, and even traditional railings have disappeared in favor of bulwarks to enclose the personnel walking area.

In this way, it looks extraordinarily tall.

In this way, after playing it again, Mbappe introduced it, and the other party finally spoke: "What is the price of this warship?" ”

"This is the most advanced warship in the world, and its price is $500 million, plus supporting helicopters and various anti-ship missiles, the total price is $600 million."

What the?

Hearing Mbappe's introduction, the faces of several people suddenly changed, isn't this a money grab? One is 600 million? Even if it is the Aegis cruiser of the Americans, it is only a billion dollars, what is that? A 10,000-ton warship, put it in any country, is the main force, and now, the French are actually asking for 600 million?

At this price, it's too cheating.

For them, if the price is 200 million, they can grit their teeth, and now the price is 600 million, which is simply a money grab.

"Everyone, come to our booth and take a look, our MEKO200 frigates are technologically advanced, of superb quality, and cheap, only 300 million dollars each." Just then, someone shouted from the side.

As soon as these words came out, Mbappe frowned and looked at a few people over there.

Shameless, this is too shameless, don't you see that these people are our potential customers? Just come over on the spot to grab customers?

"Hmph, it's cheap, it must not be a good thing." Mbappe said: "If you want to buy, you have to buy the best, and you won't be disappointed when you go back, our frigates use the most advanced concepts, and they will not be outdated for 30 years, a warship, the price is more expensive, but it can be used for 30 years, it is definitely worth the money." ”

"What's the use of ideas, they have to be real." The sales director of the German shipyard Bolomfors named Marko said: "It is really admirable to use a warship that has not yet been finalized to fool people and use a computer model to introduce it." ”

What the? Computer models?

At this time, a few people looked at the TV screen again, and sure enough, they felt that the warship on it looked fake and unreal, and thought it was a product that had been developed for a long time, but it turned out to be in the design drawing stage!

"Our MEKO200 frigate, designed by the famous warship designer Mr. Carl Otto Sadler, does not pay attention to any ethereal stealth, and mainly promotes standardization, modularization and generalization, which makes it of high quality, balanced performance, air defense, anti-submarine, anti-ship all-encompassing, and the price is very cheap." Marco continued: "Ladies and gentlemen of Siam, please come to our booth and let me give you a detailed introduction. ”

"Germans, don't go too far, this is our guest!" Mbappe, of course, was not satisfied and walked out in a cold tone.

"Hey, French, buying a warship is not buying a piece of clothing, of course you have to look at it more and understand more." Marco said: "As long as they don't sign the contract, they still have a choice, and I believe that even if they sign the contract, they would rather break the contract than buy goods like you that are not useful." ”

"What? How dare you slander us like this! Mbappe was extremely annoyed: "Let me teach you a lesson!" ”

With that, Mbappe rolled up his sleeves.
