"Can you tell me the specific data of this warship?" Zeng Zhihua, who was silent in shock, spoke only after half a sound.

"I will ask someone to send you a copy of the detailed data when the time comes, and I will simply say that the performance of this amphibious assault ship is not inferior to that of the American Wasp class, the full load displacement, carrying capacity and the American Wasp class are about the same, and the durability of the electronic equipment and power system we have installed, as well as the durability and durability of the hull, are a grade higher than the Wasp class. Not only can it undertake a certain air supremacy mission, but it can also send a reinforced battalion of about 2,000 marines to a hot spot 1,000 kilometers away within 36 hours without any preparation. Speaking of zuihou, Li Lan also specially emphasized.

Hearing Li Lan's brief introduction, for some reason, Zeng Zhihua seemed to suddenly have a feeling of being quite old, just like the age gap between him and Li Lan. The development of the Chinese Navy seems to have been pulled apart by the young man in front of him. China maintains the first ship-building speed of Shijie, this is the name given to China by the United States, Zeng Zhihua has a very strong feeling, this sentence should be said like this, Li Lan maintains the first ship-building speed of Shijie, Shili who has risen the fastest in Shijie, there is no one, it can be called a masterpiece of God.

Just such an amphibious assault ship, China's 081, which has been rumored by the outside world, cannot be compared. Isn't this Lian Po old, what is it?

And such an amphibious assault ship, its powerful carrying capacity is three times that of 071. A reinforced battalion of marines. That's the size of many national regimental forces, part of America's modern military transformation. A reinforced battalion of more than 1,000 people and nearly 2,000 people included MIA2SEP such a company of main battle tanks. Various amphibious combat vehicles, helicopters, air defense units. Its combat effectiveness is very strong. Even China could not find such a formal force.

From the thirty-six hours of the man in front of him, Zeng Zhihua saw a strong sense of self-confidence. In particular, the sentence emphasizing the premise of "being unprepared" once again made him feel the combat readiness of Li Lan's command.

"All my military construction is aimed at the United States. Therefore, in the design of weapons and equipment, there is also the process of building arms. I will catch up with the United States. But I won't blindly learn from the United States. Following in the footsteps of others, it is never possible to surpass them. I will build a new type of force of my own, and this equipment is the beginning of it all. Seeing Zeng Zhihua, who was silent, Li Lan spoke again: "If what I said is true, are you satisfied with such a warship?" ”

"This needs to be carefully calculated, and the performance is very satisfying, but if you want to buy it, you must be able to build it yourself." After coming to his senses. Zeng Zhihua said cautiously.

"Huh!" Hearing Zeng Zhihua's words, Li Lan smiled lightly and said, "The price will be very fair, presumably the cost of the latest American Wasp-class." Let's be able to satisfy the country! I don't count their follow-up upgrades, the whole ship is given to you, which is the cost of a wasp class in Zuihou. Of course, this is taking into account the inflation rate. ”

"Let's be honest. The indicators given by Chief No. 1 were comprehensive, and he even told me. As long as the experts feel that they can use it, they can buy it. If there is such a warship, which can also be built in the country, then many existing research projects will be immediately upgraded on this basis. Still, the price is a bit ......"

Li Lan waved his hand, interrupted Zeng Zhihua's words, walked forward nearly 100 meters, came to the middle of the amphibious assault ship under construction, pointed to the amphibious assault ship, and said, "Do you want to know the real cost of this ship?" ”

Zeng Zhihua nodded.

"As we all know, the research cost of a type of ship accounts for a large part of the cost, and this cost will be amortized with the number of constructions, and it will become cheaper. According to the intention of the army to procure, we only plan to build four such warships. Amphibious assault ships, after all, are not amphibious transport ships, and the demand for numbers will naturally not be as many as amphibious transport ships. If the design cost is evenly apportioned, the cost of such a 40,000-ton amphibious assault ship will reach $2 billion, which is only $4.5 billion less than the current American-class of the United States. Li Lan did not have the idea of asking for a sky-high price to sit on the ground and pay back, but the cost of this type of warship is really not cheap. The eight-month construction cycle requires the consumption of 200,000 base funds every day. If calculated according to the cost of real money, the cost of such an amphibious assault ship is also as high as 500 million.

Military products are like this, the cost of 500 million yuan, and the purchase of production licenses, the price is naturally not cheap. When the time comes, if he really sells for 500 million. It is estimated that China will not dare to buy it immediately, but to see if there are any design flaws in this type of ship.

"And who designed this type of ship?" Zeng Zhihua habitually asked, he is not an expert in terms of price, which requires a specialist to talk, but Li Lan said the design cost, which made him very curious, but after asking this sentence, he regretted it, Li Lan's most taboo thing is that others spy on his secrets, he is naturally very clear, so he hurriedly said: "I'm not spying on your secrets, if I can't say it, I will lose my words, please don't take it to heart." ”

"It's not the first time we've met, and if someone else asks it, I naturally won't say it. For you, I can safely say that it's not a big secret anyway. This type of warship was designed by the scientific research team of my Future Technology Group, and not only these ships, but also my naval, land and air force equipment are all designed by Future Technology Group. And I also handed over the sales of military equipment to the Future Technology Group, if you hadn't come in person, I wouldn't have brought you over to see. Instead, there will be experts from the Future Technology Group to lead the delegation to visit our military production work. Li Lan said without blushing or panting.

"So is this magical shipyard a fully automated construction model? Is it also from this future technology group that is dressed in the international arena? Since Li Lan did not intend to keep these secrets, Zeng Zhihua was also happy to ask a little more. He was also full of questions about this shipyard. And this future technology group, as the director of the China Foreign Intelligence Bureau, is even more concerned. This arms company, which seems to have emerged from a stone, has long attracted the attention of Quan Shijie. It would be a remiss if he didn't know.

"Of course, it's not fully automatic, the personnel are controlling the robotic arm, and no one can be left on the slipway, all the work such as welding is done by the engineers controlling the robotic arm, and the modularization is produced by a special military factory. And the design and construction of this shipyard is a secret. Li Lan said.

Li Lan still does not have a reasonable explanation for the origin of these construction units, because if he wants to explain them, there are too many aspects involved, and it is completely impossible to explain them clearly now. The design aspect can be pushed to the Future Technology Group, and the Future Technology Group was born for this purpose.

As for when to explain this secret to the outside world, Li Lan is not clear, when he has enough reasons, or when no one dares to question it. Li Lan was not at all worried about the secrecy of the base's construction. Because no one would associate these things with a single-player game, which no one believes in more than the word aircraft carrier. Even if it is similar in appearance, no one believes such statements, unless someone can prove that the existence of Shijie is actually a huge space for imagination, and that is about the same. Not to mention that all the construction units are very well-disguised, even if someone really thinks of it, it is just a ridiculous fantasy with a flash of inspiration, except for a madman, it is estimated that no normal person will believe it.

But these can't make Li Lan give outsiders a reasonable explanation, so the secrets that are still preserved are still to be preserved. Anyway, he is used to it now, and this kind of talk is also very smooth, and it is a political exchange and a political lie.

Hearing Li Lan's answer, Zeng Zhihua didn't say anything more, and slowly looked at the big ship under his feet.

Half an hour later, Li Lan took him to slipway No. 8, where two slipways were currently building aircraft carriers, all thanks to the endless supply of ore from China and Russia. So that the funds of the base will not appear to be in a state of flux.

Aircraft carrier: the main surface combat ship of the Navy, the ship construction price - 150 million, construction to service time - 1 year, (410000 per day)

Note: This is the first of the three aircraft carrier classes and belongs to conventionally powered aircraft carriers. This is a type of warship that can provide take-off and landing of military aircraft, the hull usually has a huge deck and islands on one of the left and right, and the aircraft carrier is generally the core ship of an aircraft carrier battle group, with other ships in the fleet providing its protection and supply, and the aircraft carrier providing air cover and long-range strike capabilities.

Special note: After the aircraft carrier construction is completed, a new construction list will be opened on the Air Force construction page - carrier-based aircraft.

Simple data: full load displacement 86,000 tons, conventional power maximum speed 30 knots, two steam catapults on each of the right-angled and beveled decks, four barrage cables and 1 barrage net on the beveled deck, four elevators. The total number of ships is 4,600.
