At the end of October, people from the state came to the master company, bringing not only all the test numbers of the master company, but also the "plane" that had been disassembled into parts and could not be spliced back at all. However, after testing, especially destructive tests, nine percent of these parts can be directly rebuilt. However, it is worth the money at such a big price, and the analysis data of more than 500T is enough for the master company to avoid more mistakes in the next research.

"Mr. Zhang, I don't know how much such an aircraft costs?" After handing over the information, as the person in charge of scientific research, Cheng Feng seemed to ask casually.

Of course, Zhang Jingyuan would not think that the other party would be so boring to inquire about the price, and then looked at the director of the national defense and security department next to him, who had not spoken, probably had a guess, his eyes flashed, and he hesitated a little before he slowly spoke: "The overall price has not been specifically estimated yet, but this project, from the establishment of the project to now, has spent almost 3 trillion yuan, and all the profits of the master company are basically all invested in it."

If you are specific to the cost of the aircraft, the price of only two engines is more than 100 billion yuan, coupled with the fact that the aircraft uses a large number of new materials, as well as huge artificial research and development and assembly costs, etc., the price of such an aircraft is about 160 billion. ”

Hearing the price, everyone fell silent. It's really expensive, it's extremely expensive! But no one opened their mouths, and before coming here again, everyone basically understood how the performance of the aircraft developed by the master company was, whether it was from the battery or the engine to the materials, core processors and programs, etc., it has far surpassed the country. It's just that the master company is the first time to produce such a high-end aircraft after all, and some places are understandably insufficient; But apparently, the master company is also seizing the time to improve now, and perhaps, when the next aircraft rolls off the assembly line, there will be a qualitative leap in performance.

It's just that this price is too high after all! Even the state can hardly afford it. You must know that in recent years, for the sake of space competition, even if it is China, there is not much surplus food to do anything else, especially for a country as large as China, although the output value is extremely strong, it has become one of the three major economies in the world: the United States, Europe, and China. However, more needs to be used, and a lot of civil infrastructure needs to be invested, a lot of scientific research needs to be invested, and a lot of people's livelihood needs to be invested...... During this period of time, the engines purchased from master companies have almost touched the red line of the country; If the purchase of such an aircraft is very likely to break the country's capital balance system, it will have a great impact on the country's development. Especially in the current era, the competition for space is in full swing, and the consumption in this is unimaginable.

In recent years, since the creation of the master, I refuse to fully count that more than 3,000 rockets have been launched into space on the earth, and a total of nearly 500,000 tons of materials have been sent to space, so that low earth orbit: garbage is everywhere, and satellite safety has become a top priority in the world.

Back 20 years, there are still many countries in the spirit of so-called humanitarianism, to clear the beauty of space junk; But now they're all busy building their own space bases, and who has the time to clean up this stuff. Especially in a few countries with highly developed space technology, for the time being, they can use guò precise calculations to avoid space junk, and they are even more careless. In fact, space junk, on the other hand, is also a barrier that makes those small countries dare not rush into space. In other words, space sports have deteriorated a bit, and there is already a sense of early clearance!

"Mr. Zhang, the state now needs the aircraft produced by your company, but the state does not have enough funds, do you think you can postpone the payment?" This is the first time since Director Li and Zhang Jingyuan met that he asked for someone in a low voice.

"Yes!" Zhang Jingyuan did not hesitate to agree, "But not too long, we are willing to support the construction of the country, but you have also seen that the master company is now also a large consumer of funds, once the capital chain is broken, the consequences are unimaginable." I don't think the state wants to see a company like ours go out of business. ”

"......" Zhang Jingyuan agreed without hesitation, which made Director Li breathe a sigh of relief; But then, Zhang Jingyuan's hat was buttoned down, and he was a little powerless at this moment - Zhang Jingyuan understood very clearly, he could support national construction, but you couldn't let me suffer! According to this logic, and the understanding of the master company, this time, up to three months! But what can be done in three months!

"However, in addition, there is another Jian yì on my side, and Director Li can also consider it." Zhang Jingyuan showed a devilish smile.

"Say!" Although he felt that he was not steady, Director Li had no choice, the country was really exhausted now, and it was no longer able to pay hundreds of billions of yuan to buy new aircraft. Generally speaking, if you want to become a team, you need at least three planes to be considered a little insured, and even five planes are possible; But now the state can't come up with so much money! It's not that there isn't, it's that there are too many places to spend money! It's a huge country, not a family of three or five people.

"The business of the master company has been expanding rapidly recently, but now it is found that there is a lack of 'drivers' in aerospace, and this time, I think Mu Xinghai is a good talent." Next, Zhang Jingyuan didn't continue, but the meaning was already very clear.

If it were in normal times, Director Li would definitely refuse, and even think of arranging a crime for Zhang Jingyuan; But not now, not either. Instead, he was silent, and after a long time, he said, "I can't make the decision on this matter." But I'd like to hear your price! ”

"Within a year, if the country can provide ten people like Mu Xinghai for the master company, the master company promises to provide three aircraft for the country in the next three years, and the performance is only stronger than the previous test machine!"

"Impossible! Such people will not let them leave the country. Moreover, even if it is given to you, whether you can have the right to take off or not still needs to be approved by the state! Director Li was like a mouse with its tail stepped on, and his voice was completely out of shape.

"Well, that's one of the conditions. Allow master companies to qualify for space development. Zhang Jingyuan suddenly became tough at this time! This is the most critical step, as long as this step is taken, the master company can initially get rid of the constraints of the state, and can embark on the road of real self-development. In the past period of time, although the master company has developed rapidly, and the state support is also very large; But one thing I have to admit is that under the roof of the country, there are many things that are difficult for master companies to carry out - such as public practice!

The roots of the master company will not change, but after getting rid of the shackles of the state and developing rapidly, the master company can also support the country in turn. It's a mutually beneficial strategy; But now it's up to the country.

In fact, as private companies in the United States flew into space, four-man airlines from various countries had such ambitions - to get rid of the country and develop space on their own!

Moreover, there have been many studies that have shown that in the space age, democratic policies will completely collapse, and companies, families, etc., which have a lot of resources and power, will inevitably restore the imperial system!

"I need to report back to the state!" It's too big, and Director Li really doesn't even have the right to participate.
