Chapter 1649 Cost Control

It has only been a few years since the strategic bombers came out, and China has huge productive forces, but at the juncture of the war, plus the need to supply the entire Allied Powers, it is impossible to tilt all of them towards strategic bombers, and the air force can gain superiority, and can even deal a heavy blow to the enemy, but it is impossible to win the battlefield. www.biquge.info To a certain extent, the navy and air force are potential, only the army is the most important determining force, whether it is occupation or plunder, without the army, there is no way to complete, even if the navy and air force have done most of the work of the war, and finally the army went ashore, only at a small cost, it was taken, but there is no such last step, if you want to force the enemy to surrender, it is almost impossible, a little relaxation, it will give the enemy a chance to breathe.

Even if the Air Force is unlikely to win, just an air force advantage, we must pay attention to it, the Air Force has the performance that other arms do not have, this aspect, but the inclination is relatively large, at present, China's strategic aircraft ownership, has exceeded 60,000, the huge Chinese territory, stationed at least 12 large bases, even Australia, a newly occupied territory, are arranged 2,200 planes, and on the front line in the Pacific Ocean, 4,000 planes are also arranged, more than Australia, the reason is very simple, Australia also has an army of 1 million, of which the armored force is enough to ensure China's superiority on the mainland, but the islands are different, aircraft and ships are the key, China's number of ships cannot ensure the safety of many islands, and aircraft are the inevitable choice.

60,000 is a huge number, but it is not China's final number, there are almost 4-50,000 orders in the follow-up, and production will be completed within 2 years, which is still based on the data of the current battlefield situation, in the future, once the war situation is bad, or if there is really a demand for this, it is not impossible to expand the production line and mass production, compared to the production of new weapons, or this is the most convenient and fast.

Industrial products, any industrial product, when the number of production, to a certain extent, the cost will be greatly reduced, just like the British general production of battleships, under normal circumstances, is the same level of 4 ships, so that the total cost and a single cost of the relatively balanced, continue to increase, will definitely reduce the cost, but the cost reduction ratio is not high, Britain does not have the ability to start so much at the same time, in fact, like the United States, 10 20 ships to build, Sure, but the cost of the search is lower than that of colleagues to build 4 ships, this low range is not too high, maybe more than 15 only, the overall price will drop by 15%, which is also very obvious for a 4 million pound battleship, 600,000 pounds, almost 3 million US dollars, but Britain cannot be as rich as the United States, even if it was strongly challenged by Germany, and did not use crazy shipbuilding to resist Germany, but chose to involve Germany in the war.

Since the beginning of the Boer War, the powerful Britain has shown its decline, coupled with the second industrial revolution, Britain because of its inherent strength, hesitate in the first and second industrial revolutions, the stubbornness of the vested interest class, plus Britain does not have a few outstanding masters, so that Britain did not catch up with the express train of the second industrial revolution, in fact, Britain in terms of comprehensive income, has not been comparable to Germany, if in history, the First World War did not break out, at most to 1920, Germany will be in the size and strength of the warship, Catch up with the British, and by that time, the British navy and defense forces will be almost a sieve, and they will no longer have the courage to go to war with Germany.

In this time and space, under the mention of China, Germany took the initiative to include Britain and France in the sequence of war, rather than later generations, because after Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, it hurriedly joined the war group, and therefore had a huge advantage, Schlieffen plan not only did not have a tiger's head, but was perfectly executed, Belgium, northern France, did not block the German front, and finally, took Paris, obtained a huge scale of cultural relics and a large number of materials, it can be said that the early investment was earned, It also laid the foundations of Europe directly.

China has a stronger economic strength and industrial base than the United States and Germany combined, and after the strategic bomber was finalized, it opened mass production, abrasives, production lines, and even some experience in long-term exploration, which can greatly reduce costs, and the more production, the more costs are reduced, and finally reach a degree that is difficult for non-Chinese to imagine.

For China, these are commonplace, in foreign laboratories, still doing the most basic experiments, but China has already moved forward, with the progress of science and technology, China's speed is getting faster and faster.

According to the current assessment, when the production of 100 and 1000 heavy bombers is produced, the cost will be reduced by at least 15%, and the early stage may be a little larger, 125,000 is also based on the number of 100 aircraft, within 10 and 1000 aircraft, the difference is more than 30%, this number increases to 10,000, or even 100,000, it can be reduced by 7% and 5%, it seems that when it is more than 100,000, the decline is reduced a lot, and large-scale production is up. The reduction in the number is not obvious, for a cost of more than 120,000, the number of purchases of more than 100,000 aircraft, 7% and 5% reduction, is already very considerable, which represents a significant reduction in cost.

Even if it is 125,000 yuan for an aircraft, the total price of 100,000 is as high as 12.5 billion, 5% of 12.5 billion, There are also 625 million, which is a lot of money, especially in China's case of such a low cost, if all put on the aircraft, you can make 5000 strategic bombers, China's military industry, is in such a continuous accumulation, accumulated a lot, because there is enough quantity, when the follow-up investment, the cost of research and development and modification converted to each aircraft is quite low, 10 million investment, on average to each aircraft, but 100, or even 100 million investment, is only 1000, compared to strategic bombers, even the investment is 1000 yuan, is this high?

Under the premise that the total amount is very large, the total amount of research and development and transformation is very large, and under the huge investment and large-scale production, more things will be explored to change this strategic bomber. From the production of strategic bombers to the present, it has been almost 3 years, but for strategic bombers, the performance is not immutable, the modification has been continuing, in just over 3 years, a total of hundreds of problems have been found, small problems, just to reduce hidden dangers, or to increase reliability, some large amounts, together, resulting in the performance of this bomber has been improved to varying degrees, the model starts from A, all the way to Xin, which is equivalent to large-scale modification, It has been carried out 8 times, and the last modification of the aircraft has been hugely different from the previous one, and the performance has been greatly improved.

The original strategic aircraft had a speed of only 590 kilometers per hour, which was only slightly stronger than the B29, but by the time of the Xin type, the maximum speed had reached 674 kilometers per hour, and the speed had increased by almost 100 kilometers.

Speed is only one of the aspects, the most important improvement is in the load capacity, from A to Xin, under the premise of lifting increased by 20%, the take-off weight has decreased by 3.5 tons, which not only represents this, but also represents a huge increase in performance under the same premise, loading more bombs.

This point is the most terrible place, China can be targeted, to have an advantage, a series of improvements, if the effect is not good, can be changed back, if the effect is good, continue to go deeper, the initial aircraft, and the final aircraft, sometimes, may be two completely different concepts.

The price of China's heavy 4-engine bomber is only about the same as that of ordinary advanced fighters during World War II, you know, the national strength of the United States back then, the number of fighters produced was 10 million to calculate, in this case, China, whose revenue and financial resources are far greater than that of the United States in later generations, can arrange these fighters as a sea.

Even now, an airship, capable of carrying a weight of 30 tons, his price is more than one million, especially the use of helium, which increases the safety of the airship, but also increases the cost, the price of one goes to 1.3 million, the most important thing is that every time it is injected, there will be consumption, with the high price of helium, it is greater than fuel consumption.

Similar to the B29 combat effectiveness of World War II, the combat radius is higher, and the various detection means are stronger, after all, China has already installed the targeting system on the B29, which is stronger in the accuracy of projection, and even does not use ordinary aerial bombs, some more sophisticated, bombs, more stable performance abounds, plus the role of the roadbed radar on the island, the coverage range is wide enough, the combat radius is 5000 kilometers, but the strongest combat range is within 3000 kilometers, As long as the radar and reconnaissance work is done well, this area is almost a no-go zone.

Taking Hawaii as the demarcation point, the location of Hawaii is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean a little northeast, if you add a range of 3,000 kilometers, almost the entire central part is a solid area, any fleet that crosses through the middle, will pay a great price, the best defense is to attack, only by attacking the opponent and beating the opponent down, they will not dare to come.
