0311, 500 million yuan is not enough

Lin Chao didn't expect that the war zone would move so fast.
The chief of staff has already come to discuss the purchase of a "virtual soldier system".
However, hearing the other party's offer, Lin Chao's face showed embarrassment.
"Chief of Staff, 500 million yuan is not enough to build a brigade-level system, and even the scale of the battalion level is impossible to achieve."
Although the R&D cost is missing, the hardware facilities of the "virtual soldier system" are definitely not cheap.
Even if Lin Chao doesn't want a penny of profits, 500 million yuan is too difficult.
This did not surprise the chief of staff of the theater of operations, who said with a smile:
"Lin Dong, I know that your offer is very cheap, but now that it is the end of the year, the distribution of military spending has become increasingly clear, and the only thing that can be used at present is the 500 million yuan, please help."
Lin Chao shook his head and said:
"The chief of staff didn't know that the equipment sent this time belonged to the mid-range product. To build a brigade-level unit, it will cost at least 47 billion. If it is a top-level configuration, it is much higher, and our quotation is 63 billion yuan. In addition, there is a low-end configuration, but its price is also more than 12 billion yuan. β
Hearing these offers, the chief of staff just smiled.
There are several grades, which are nothing more than a promotional means for merchants.
He had seen it countless times in his previous procurement.
"Lin Dong, what is the difference between these three configurations?"
Lin Chao replied:
"The top-of-the-line configuration covers all the people in the brigade, even the cooking class. The system simulates the role played by each individual and evaluates his or her behavior.
The medium configuration will reduce a lot of links, and the coverage will also be narrowed down to the technical classes. Artillery, armored forces, aviation, and special forces all have their own data links and corresponding command organs.
The low-level configuration is only aimed at high-tech arms, such as missile units, aviation units, and strategic and tactical special forces, all of which can be well trained. However, a lot of the data will be simplified.
If the funds in the theater are insufficient, one set can be purchased first and used by various units in rotation. Anyway, it's our old tradition. β
After a moment of silence, the chief of staff asked:
"Lin Dong, the price of the equipment tested this time is 3 million, even if I want 6,000 units, it is only 18 billion yuan, is the price of 63 billion too expensive?"
ζθΆ says:
"Chief of Staff, the most expensive thing about this system is the server, and the related software development. For example, the real scenes we see are all drawn through the actual terrain, which requires the server to have powerful computing power. There is also the enemy's AI system, and if it is not done well, the conclusions will be diametrically opposite.
Today, you see it too. A combat squad is so complex, and when applied to a brigade-level unit, the amount of calculations increases by more than a thousand, 10,000 times. The offer of 63 billion, I really just got some hard money. β
The chief of staff shook his head secretly.
In fiscal year 2015, China's military spending was about 900 billion yuan. Distributed to all branches of the army and all theaters, there is not much left. If you want to take out 15% of the total amount at once, let alone a war zone, even the superiors will not be able to agree.
Seeing the scene gradually getting colder, Lin Chao said:
"Chief of Staff, don't be in a hurry. Even if you can come up with 60 billion, I won't be able to produce enough equipment! β
The chief of staff asked suspiciously:
"Why?"
Lin Chao smiled bitterly and said:
"The whole system requires a large number of chips, which is also a high-tech product in Europe and the United States, even if I throw in billions, no one dares to sell them to China.
The only solution is to produce it ourselves, and the chip factory of Fiberhome is still in the preparatory stage, and it is still far away to be completed and put into production!
Relying on the equipment in the laboratory alone, we can only build a maximum of 10 virtual machines per month. It takes at least 10 years to build a brigade-level unit. β
The chief of staff said expressionlessly:
"Lin Dong, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly."
Putting on so many difficulties is nothing more than wanting to make the war zone contribute.
However, "the army cannot do business" has become an iron law.
Therefore, Lin Chao's plan may only be a bamboo basket to draw water.
ζθΆ says:
"If the theater can only come up with 500 million yuan, then first build a command platform to simulate a possible war in the future. The details can be handled by the system's built-in AI, and I can guarantee that it will execute every instruction perfectly.
Once the superiors understand its role, the appropriation will inevitably be made. At that time, the commissioning of the chip factory will be a matter of course. I will also increase the production of virtual machines as soon as possible, and strive to complete the construction of brigade-level units within 4 years.
Chief of Staff, I understand that such equipment is urgently needed in the theater of operations. But it's not realistic to become fat in one bite. If you stretch it out a little longer, there will be a lot less opposition. β
The chief of staff smiled:
"Lin Dong, the matter of purchasing the system still needs to be discussed in the war zone. I hope you can provide us with a detailed quote as soon as possible for our reference. β
Lin Chao immediately replied:
"In the afternoon, the company will hand over the quotation of the system to the relevant departments."
Now that the offer is given to the chief of staff, it is a taboo in procurement, and of course Lin Chao can't give the truth.
The chief of staff nodded, he opened the briefcase in his hand and took out a document from it.
"Lin Dong, I still have a battle plan here, it shouldn't be difficult to put it into the system!"
Lin Chao took the file and glanced at it, and immediately put it into the lockbox.
"That's not a problem, but I need enough information. Hydrology, climate, topography ....... In short, everything you have at your disposal. β
The chief of staff thought for a while, and said categorically:
"Yes, how much time do you need at the earliest?"
Lin Chao glanced at Zhao Hammer and saw him put up 2 fingers.
"5 days!"
In the past few days, Zhao Hammer has been completely overdrawn, and his life index can only be summed up as "bad", of course Lin Chao can't let him work too hard.
The chief of staff showed a little joy in his eyes.
"Lin Dong, today's drill has taught us a lesson, and many people have been greatly touched. In the next exercises, I hope to increase the difficulty a little more, and include the forces of certain countries. That is, you have to process this data on the scale of the world war. β
Lin Chao exclaimed:
"Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a corner. Those who do not seek the general trend are not enough to seek a moment. The chief of staff is so far-sighted, I will take into account the surrounding situation. However, such an exercise does not necessarily represent the real world, and I would like to ask the leaders of the theater to understand it. β
The chief of staff smiled:
"As you said, we're just conducting a drill. Victory or defeat is not the only reference, I just want to know if Huaxia is ready? If not, where can the problem be solved? β
ζθΆ says:
"In five days, we'll have an answer."
