Chapter 702 - Stealing Business (1/6 Asking for Subscription)
When China, Russia, and the United States watched the display of the Night Raven space fighter, they suddenly felt some sympathy for Britain and France.
They are all P5 members, and it is too stingy to say that intrigue is a bit too petty among them, and the pattern of the great power game is also unimaginable to ordinary people, not because of poverty restrictions, but because of location restrictions.
It is said that the butt determines the head, and can sit in the decision-making position of the second of the five constants, and the heads that those butts decide can be said to be at the top of the human world in related fields, whether in terms of IQ, or emotional intelligence, or knowledge, etc.
It's a pity that the human world is changing so fast that it is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people, but also beyond the imagination of those powerful people who are already at the top of the human world in the position below the ass.
The speed of the Night Raven's flight in the atmosphere has exceeded their imagination for China, Russia, and the United States, not only the maximum speed of Mach 6, but also the Night Raven's pilot, Aaron Martin, can withstand this speed.
The speed of Mach 6 aircraft, or fighter jets, these three countries are not impossible to build, the United States has also built legendary space fighters, the "Falcon" project established in 2007, the speed of the X-37B unmanned space fighter can even reach Mach 25.
Of course, the premise is that after entering space, but even if this precondition is met, its flight speed in the atmosphere is not weaker than that of the night crow.
However, it is an unmanned pseudo-space fighter, and it cannot be called a real space fighter in terms of weaponry or appearance, and the Pentagon has also vetoed this project in the past two years.
In addition to the United States, Huaxia also has the legendary "Shenlong" space fighter, because the performance data has never been made public, even the current Wen Ming is not very clear, but experts from the US International Center for Strategic and Assessment, as well as experts from the Pentagon, believe that Huaxia used the "Shenlong" to shoot down a satellite in 2007.
Russia, of course, does not need to say much.
The three countries that were able to make space fighters so shocked, and even sympathized with Britain and France that did not agree to cooperate with Wen Ming, because their 'space fighters' were pseudo space fighters.
To put it simply, it's about making the shuttle smaller and equipping it with weapon systems. It can only be called a laboratory model, not to mention mass production, even if the experimental project can continue, it has to be said.
But the Night Raven is very mature.
The Mach 6 limit flight speed in the atmosphere is originally flashy, because no human can withstand the side effects of this speed, even if the jumpsuit worn by the fighter pilot is expensive, and the physical fitness is even more than 1 in a million.
However, in front of Wen Ming, who has the 'strengthening potion', flashy and unreal has become veritable.
"Many people believe that unmanned driving is the mainstream technology of the future, whether it is a reconnaissance aircraft or a fighter jet."
At that time, Night Raven flew to the rocket launch site of the umbrella company, and docked on the launch vehicle without any more than any operation, relying on itself, and then the launch vehicle was directly lifted into the air, Wen Ming said to the leaders and delegation members of the three countries: "But I have always believed that people-oriented is the eternal mainstream, because unmanned technology has a very difficult problem to solve, that is, the transmission of control signals." ”
"My Tesla does have driverless technology, and it is about to be launched on a large scale, but it is only an established procedure, and it is pseudo-unmanned driving done according to the signs on the road and the radar detection system."
"When unmanned technology is applied to reconnaissance aircraft and fighters, there is really no big problem in facing the environment inside the atmosphere, but why can't the Global Hawk reconnaissance aircraft exceed Mach 1?"
The faces of the mentioned Global Hawk, Teresa Roy and the US Secretary of Defense did not change at all, as if the Global Hawk unmanned reconnaissance aircraft had nothing to do with them.
"It's not that the Global Hawk can't break through the speed of sound, but it's that it's much more difficult to control after the breakthrough. In the space environment, unmanned technology will bring a lot of unpredictable risk technology, the signal transmission in the universe, under normal circumstances, can even allow us to directly transmit the signal from the earth to Mars, but how much time does it take to transmit this distance? ”
"The X-37B can reach Mach 25, and the signal will definitely travel faster than Mach 25, but only if we build a facility similar to a 'base station', or a communication satellite."
"Let's not talk about the environment of space warfare, can we be allowed to deploy enough communication satellites in advance, and only say that after the space war occurs, will the enemy destroy our satellites at the first time?"
The answer is yes, just like in modern warfare, the primary target of attack is the local command system, and only by destroying the enemy's command system can the enemy be confused. And if we use unmanned technology, we can indeed give full play to the fastest and strongest space fighter that our technology level can build, but if our control signal is interrupted, what will the result be? ”
Wen Ming's introduction looks like a promoter, when promoting one of his own products, he also uses an alarmist way to promote another product of his own, and the two products are sold together, and the profit is definitely greater.
Night Raven and Enhancement Elixir are the two products that Wenming wants to sell.
But for the leaders of the three countries, they are very willing to accept this kind of sales method, and they have to accept it, and they don't even have much feeling of 'being tricked', because what Wen Ming said is the truth, just as he once said to the British Prime Minister that he is the only one in the world who can build a defense belt around the earth and save the earth.
That is, in the process of Wen Ming's introduction, the launch vehicle of the umbrella company has entered space, and the night crow has successfully separated from the launch vehicle.
"This is to demonstrate the disposable launch vehicle used."
Wen Ming noticed that the leaders of the three countries, including Teresa Roy, all had a painful expression, and he understood their current mood very well.
"If we send a space fighter into space, we need to consume a launch vehicle, and we can hardly afford it."
Launch vehicles are expensive, they vary in price depending on the size of the function, and the cost of launching a launch vehicle is also expensive.
The cheapest launch vehicle in the world is Huaxia, but the cost of the Long March 3B is as high as 60 million US dollars, if you add the launch cost, 100 million US dollars is really a human price, because it does not make money.
And if the space fighters want to form the scale of space warfare, they can form an effective formation only if they are thousands of erections, but they are only effective, because the earth is too big, and the defense circle is too big.
Conservatively build 1,000 aircraft, the launch cost will need 100 billion US dollars, and let Huaxia be responsible for the launch, if other countries are responsible, it is possible to double.
It doesn't seem like much, for an incredible $100 billion for ordinary people, Wen Ming's financial level can fully support it, and there is not much pressure. But there is a premise, that is, the three countries will also buy Night Ravens, make defensive laser weapon satellites, and build space fortresses.
It is also used in space warfare, and the materials needed are already scarce, and when the demand increases suddenly, the cost will naturally rise sharply. In addition, whether it is a launch vehicle, a Night Raven, a Space Fortress, or a defensive laser weapon satellite, it is not something that ordinary people can make.
Manpower is sometimes poor, even if it is to gather the power of the three countries, plus the power of the three countries, it is very difficult to get together enough technicians.
What's more, whether it's a Space Fortress or a defensive laser weapon satellite, launch vehicles are needed to get them on. In this case, it is really not something that can be solved with 100 billion dollars.
To put it simply, the money for making 1,000 launch vehicles is a small meaning, the launch vehicles needed to make defensive laser weapon satellites and space fortresses are a medium meaning, and the people needed to make all this are really a big idea.
This is also the reason why the leaders of the three countries will have pain in their flesh,
So, Wen Ming said like timely rain: "Fortunately, our umbrella company has mastered the technology of reusable launch vehicles and is in the process of manufacturing. In other words, our launch cost will drop to 30% of the previous one. ”
This surprise made the leaders of the three countries breathe a sigh of relief, and then the leaders of two of them breathed a sigh of relief, especially Huaxia, who felt as if they had been robbed of business by Wen Ming.
No, it's not like, it's already been robbed.
