Chapter 211: The King of Value for Money

Just after Lin Yu finished firing all the missiles of the Chengying Mecha.

It's almost less than a minute.

Somewhere in a remote test site 200 kilometers away from the secret factory, there was a sudden bang, and the first deafening explosion sounded first.

Then, a small black mushroom cloud rose into the sky and appeared over the deserted hill.

And with the sound of this explosion, it was as if some kind of horn was blown.

The entire sky of this hill began to glow red like a meteor shower.

Immediately afterward, thousands of clusters of light separated from the red light, like fire trees and silver flowers, sprinkled from the sky like a shower of stars.

For a while, the entire sky seemed to be burning violently, and the dense red light almost reflected this sky into a blood-red sunset under the sunset!

Bright! Gorgeous!

Boom Boom~~!!!!

With the sound of explosions one after another, the hill suddenly burst into flames.

A scorching white light enveloped the entire hill, and wantonly emitted extreme light and heat.

After a minute, the carpet bombardment gradually subsided, and the hills inside were revealed.

However, compared to the previous integrity, this hill that has been baptized by artillery fire has now become unrecognizable.

The large and small potholes, which were still emitting black smoke, covered almost the entire hill, looked miserable.

In particular, the two large craters smashed by short-range missiles and process missiles are simply a huge black hole.

It can be said that now this hill has almost become a black scorched earth, and there is no life at all.

All that was left was the smoke of gunpowder in the air, and the large holes that dotted the hills.

"Mr. Lin, the target has been destroyed and the expected effect has been achieved."

Fu Xi said with a smile: "15-20% of the submunitions in the cluster missiles did not explode, and I have marked the location. ”

As he spoke, Fu Xi projected the picture of the target area and the picture of the submunition mark in front of Lin Yu.

"Tsk, if you are poor, tactics are interspersed, and if you are rich, you will be covered by firepower, which is really a wise saying."

Looking at the dilapidated hills that had been reduced to scorched earth and were still smoking, Lin Yu sighed with emotion.

Just kidding, what precision is needed for this carpet of firepower?

Direct missile washing is over, simple and crude.

For a while, Lin Yu finally understood why some people advocated caliber as justice and range as truth.

Because as long as the mission target is within the range, then after a round of missiles to wash the ground, basically no one will survive.

And, if one time isn't enough, come a few more times until the target area is blasted to rubble.

It's just not too much of a hassle.

After sighing for a moment, Lin Yu said slowly: "Okay, now that the long-range fire weapon test has reached the standard, let's start preparing for the melee weapon test." ”

"By the way, remember to send this data to the logistics staff, so that they can clean up the submunitions that have not yet been detonated in time."

In the end, Lin Yu didn't forget to advise.

In the configuration of the Chengying mecha, most of the missiles do not need follow-up cleaning, only cluster missiles do.

Because the cluster missile, also commonly known as the sub-mother bomb, is a missile with many small bombs in the body of a thin-skinned bomb.

When a cluster missile comes over the target, the missile will use a weak explosion inside the missile to blow up the body of the mother bay.

The submunitions will then spread over a large area one by one, and finally detonate at the same time, killing targets in this area on a large scale.

However, due to a number of reasons, cluster missiles often do not function properly.

For example, improper handling during handling, storage and delivery before operations, as well as cluster missiles due to airspace at different altitudes, can be affected.

As a result, about 10% of submunitions do not explode immediately, and need to be touched again before they explode.

Its lethality is almost the same

An anti-infantry mine is similar.

Therefore, an unexploded submunition can have serious consequences.

And this is dangerous for logistics personnel.

Of course, if the target area is an enemy position, then there is no need to clear it.

However, in the case of the test site, in order to prevent accidents, the unexploded bomb still needs to be cleaned up.

After explaining to Fu Xi, Lin Yu controlled the Chengying mecha to fall towards the test site below.

At this time, many researchers were in the test site, watching intently the picture of the carpet bombing that had just been carried out.

And standing at the forefront was the head of He, as well as Zhao Yu and others.

"Yes, the firepower strike ability of the Chengying mecha is indeed excellent, and it is completely comparable to the vehicle-mounted missile vehicle."

"Especially in terms of mobility and concealment, the Chengying mecha is much stronger than the missile car, which is very good."

"And in a strategic sense, the Chengying mecha can also achieve a three-in-one firepower strike of sea, land and air, which is perfect."

Chief He looked at the Chengying mecha in the picture with fiery eyes, and said in admiration.

"This is the ranged weapon mode of the Chengying mecha, and the melee weapon mode has not been tested, and I believe that the melee mode should not be bad."

Zhao Yu introduced with a smile.

"If that's the case, so much the better."

Chief He nodded, immediately thought of something, and said with a solemn expression: "This mecha's melee mode can no longer be piloted by Mr. Lin himself, if he has an accident, none of us can bear this responsibility!" ”

"Ahem, what's this...... I think Chief He, you can talk to Mr. Lin in person. ”

Zhao Yu coughed lightly and said with a serious suggestion.

While the two were talking, Lin Yu had already controlled the Chengying mecha to land on the test site.

Seeing this scene, the logistics staff who were always ready quickly greeted them and began to inspect and replace parts for the Chengying mecha.

"Mr. Lin, the loading of the melee weapon mode system can be completed in just about a minute, however, Mr. Zhao seems to have a new situation there, do you want to go down and take a look?"

While the Chengying mecha was inspecting, Fu Xi projected the picture of Zhao Yu and the others in front of Lin Yu and said inquiringly.

"Huh? Someone from the military department? ”

Looking at the middle-aged man with a serious expression and wearing a military uniform in the holographic projection, Lin Yu raised his eyebrows slightly.

As early as when the Chengying mecha was assembled, Lin Yu learned from Zhao Yu's phone call that someone would be sent over.

However, what he didn't expect was that the person sent from above this time turned out to be a representative of the military department.

Obviously, the other side should be here for the Chengying mecha this time.

After thinking about it, Lin Yu decided to go down.

After making up his mind, Lin Yu's mind moved, and the cockpit of the Chengying mecha slowly opened, and he walked out directly from inside.

On the other side, Zhao Yu hurriedly walked over after seeing the Chengying mecha unfold the cockpit.

And Chief He looked around, and after finding Lin Yu, he also walked over to this side.

Although he didn't introduce himself, the unangry and arrogant momentum of the soldiers on his body made the researchers around him who were blocking the way back one after another and get out of the way.

"This is Mr. Lin, I have admired my name for a long time, and when I saw it today, I really wanted to be young and promising."

Chief He came straight to Lin Yu, with a smile on his serious face, he stretched out his hand to shake hands and saluted: "First time we meet, let me introduce myself, I am He Jianjun of the General Assembly Department." ”

"Final assembly department?"

Lin Yu's heart jumped.

The General Armament Department is not an ordinary department, but it is responsible for the army's equipment procurement, logistical support, and other work, and is the highest level of the army's equipment work.

"Hello, Chief He."

Lin Yu smiled, shook hands and said hello, and then asked straight to the point: "Chief He should be here this time for the Chengying mecha, right?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Lin."

He Jianjun nodded and said directly: "This time, the above sent me to let me see the performance of the mecha, the manufacturing process, the manufacturing cost, and its advantages and disadvantages. ”

"In addition to this,

I would like to ask whether the current Chengying mecha is a test machine, or a finalized finished machine, and when will it be able to complete mass production? ”

"You're asking questions one after another."

Lin Yu chuckled, and immediately began to explain in turn: "The current Chengying mecha is already officially finalized, and if it is mass-produced, although the output will not be too high at the beginning, it is not a big problem. ”

"Because it is now all assembled by hand, and most of the configurations, such as special battery packs, independent hydraulics, etc., I asked the factory to start production in advance when I was developing the Loongson I, matrix batteries and particle thrusters."

"However, for other small part of the system, there is no special assembly line and related staff, so the total production line will take at least two or three months to completely solve."

"Therefore, the current Chengying mecha can be said to be the only mecha in the world."

The small technologies that the first generation of mecha needed to use, because there were too many types, and they also had similar finished products, so Lin Yu did not have a special production line.

Because this is not only thankless, but Lin Yu also considered that the above may not understand why he has to do so many production lines.

So before, he asked the team of the research institute to only make a set of various parts and systems needed for the imaging mecha.

However, since the research institute has now made the finished product, the speed of the next mecha assembly line will be much faster.

In addition, with the assistance of Fuxi, many things are much more convenient, and the time can be greatly reduced.

"Mr. Lin, since you have completed the design of the mecha since the development of the Loongson I, why don't you tell us, we can directly carry out the operation of the total production line of the mecha."

Hearing that it would take two or three months to complete the production of the mecha, He Jianjun couldn't help but ask regretfully.

Now the mecha came out, and it came out suddenly.

Even all the technical achievements developed are all just used, which can be seen by fools, from the very beginning, Lin Yu has completed all the technical designs.

"Things have to be done little by little, and you can't rush it, and I said as soon as I came up that I wanted to develop a mecha, I'm afraid you will treat me as a madman."

Lin Yu glanced at Zhao Yu meaningfully and said with a smile.

"How can it be, Mr. Lin, your R&D capabilities are obvious to all."

Feeling Lin Yu's eyes, Zhao Yu hurriedly shook his head and denied it.

However, although he said so, he thought about it seriously.

If Lin Yu directly told himself that he wanted to develop a mecha after developing anti-cancer drugs and overcoming the millennial problem, then he might not necessarily believe it.

Because it's like a talent coming over and saying that he can research a spaceship and ask the country to quickly invest hundreds of billions or trillions on him.

In the eyes of some high-level people, there is no doubt that this kind of behavior will definitely be treated as a madman.

Only when like Lin Yu, step by step, step by step, step by step, can the country feel the benefits, see the results and hopes, then the country will support it unreservedly.

"Hehe, two or three months is already very good."

After coming back to his senses, He Jianjun also thought of the pros and cons, so he smartly skipped the topic and continued to ask with a smile: "What about the cost of the mecha?" ”

"In terms of the total cost, in fact, it is impossible to calculate, but if the R&D cost is deducted, whatever, it should also cost us a tank."

Lin Yu thought about it and finally said an approximate price.

In fact, the biggest cost of weapons and equipment is not the weapon itself.

Because no matter how expensive the material is, as long as the production quantity goes up, then the price will naturally drop.

Like those research projects that cost billions or tens of billions at every turn, it is because of the huge R&D costs.

For example, Lao Mi's B2 fighter jet is said to cost $2.2 billion per plane.

But in fact, the actual cost of the real B2 itself is only about eight or nine billion.

Those who have more than a billion left are because the number of offline products is too small, and tens of billions of R&D costs are amortized into it.

And Lin Yu has done the research of the entire mecha, how to account for all the research and development costs?

There's no way to calculate it.

Because if Lin Yu didn't have a system, then he wanted to solve so many difficulties.

I'm afraid no one will know how much manpower it will take to organize and how long it will take to complete.

And the cost of investing in this is an astronomical amount.

"The cost is only one tank for our country?!"

He Jianjun had a touch of astonishment on his face, and his tone was very surprised, even a little incredible.

You must know that the most advanced tank in the world at present should be the Type 99 tank in Huaxia.

The tank was armed with a 125-mm slippery gun with armor thickness from 900 to 1000 mm.

Moreover, it has advanced devices such as automatic bomb loading, infrared thermal imaging, precision guidance, laser, fire control radar, electronic scanning, and digital command system.

The Type 99 is powered by a 1,500-horsepower engine, which can start driving in 10 seconds and reach speeds of up to 45 kilometers per hour in an instant.

Therefore, the Type 99 tank is one of the few advanced tanks in the world.

And, most importantly, it costs about $2.2 million to $2.6 million per unit, making it a good and affordable tank.

And like the French AMx56 Leclerc tank, it also uses a digital command system, as well as a similar configuration.

However, its tank sold for $12.6 million, which is several times more expensive than the Type 99.

It can be said that in terms of cost performance, Type 99 can completely blow it up.

And now, Lin Yu told him that the cost of a mecha is only the cost of a Type 99 tank?

This is the king of value for money!!
