After listening to Gao Yong's words, Li Zhao also said; "I'm digging holes for many countries this time, including Da Mao, if this matter spreads, there may be a lot of trouble, and it must not be spread. Moreover, the courtyard where I live now lives with a person from Da Mao, who was a translator for experts who came to the rolling mill to support him, and now he works in Da Mao's embassy, which is half a spy. You guys know how much trouble it hassle, right? ”

The two of them also restrained their smiles when they heard this, and Liu Ming also said: "It's okay, this time I have already started digging a pit for foreign countries, so how big is the pit you dug, it is too small for us to look down on you." ”

Li Zhao also smiled when he heard this: "Don't worry, this pit is big enough, and they are probably happy to design it now." Didn't I go to the newspaper before, and I found out that there were spy activities in the courtyard where I lived, so I reported it, and then set up a bureau to arrest the spies. No matter where the spies come from, in short, they need intelligence, so I drew a blueprint of a missile battleship with four reactors and a displacement of more than 70,000 tons in a notebook. ”

At this time, Liu Ming asked: "When did you learn ship design, why don't we know?" ”

Li Zhao also smiled at this time, "How can I know what kind of ship design, it's just a good-looking data stack, and there are too many problems to solve." Not only did I equip them with a 406-millimeter twin naval gun, but I also gave them thousands of missile vertical firing units, and I also gave them ideas on how to carry seaplanes. ”

Gao Yong interjected at this time; "Doesn't this sound like a super-sized ammunition depot? Once hit, there is basically no chance of survival, and basically the whole ship is full of ammunition, where can this be prevented. ”

When Li Zhao heard this, he asked, "You shouldn't be designing tank protective armor, right?" This is full of protection, but what you said is right, in the future, with the increase in the power of ammunition, it will basically be a one-shot hit, and there is basically no chance of survival. Therefore, the main thing is that others can't find out and can't hit. As far as the tank you are studying, just a little tonnage, where is it possible to have thick protection. ”

When Gao Yong heard Li Zhao's words, he also frowned, and asked, "You mean to say that armor protection will be useless in the future?" How is this possible, we are now developing a tank of more than forty tons, the protection can definitely reach the world's first-class, and now basically no artillery can penetrate our armor. ”

Li Zhao looked at Gao Yong, who was confident, and said: "The penetration depth of the 105 mm artillery you own can reach more than 500 mm, and the penetration depth of the 125 mm artillery can reach nearly 800 mm in the best test now, and there is no problem at all to reach more than 1,000 mm in the future, where do you get your confidence?" ”

When Gao Yong heard this, he was also shocked and asked, "Where did you get the news, this is top secret." Our factory has not announced it to the outside world, and it is still being tested, and I don't know how long it will take to finalize it. ”

Liu Ming was dumbfounded now, and asked, "You all seem to know what you said, why don't I know?" ”

Li Zhao said with a smile at this time: "Not many people know this news, but I estimate that I know it earlier than you know, and I will know about it not long after your plan is proposed, you wait, I will show you something." ”

Saying that, Li Zhao opened the safe, pulled out the engine drawings inside, handed them to Gao Yong, and said with a smile: "Take a look, see if you can match the number, if you know what these are, it means that you are not bad." ”

Flipping it open, Gao Yong was dumbfounded, without him, he didn't know how many times he had seen this design, but he couldn't touch the essence, it seemed that only a few parameters had been moved, but almost every place had moved. Looking at the design signature again, he was a little dumbfounded: "You designed this engine?" Why haven't we seen you design an engine, haven't you been designing a machine tool before? When did you switch to designing engines, and it's still this one. ”

"No, this engine is produced by the military factory here, you are from the rolling mill, why is it involved with the military factory, come, tell us what's going on, your way is a bit wild!"

Li Zhao saw Gao Yong's expression and said with a smile: "It's just a coincidence, after I joined the work, I met my father's old comrade-in-arms, this design was also he told me when chatting, I designed an engine, I didn't expect that after the test, the effect was good, so it was handed over to the military factory for production, and the production capacity of the rolling mill was too poor." ”

"Also, I have a lot of things, where can a mortal like you understand. For tanks, although your protection has been strengthened, in the face of high-power weapons, where is it enough. If the protection of the tank is sufficient, then in the future it is estimated that it will be equivalent to more than ten meters of homogeneous armor before it can be used. ”

"Otherwise, it will only provide a bunker for the soldiers, and although armored vehicles are important, the threat to armored vehicles in the future will also be huge. You want to be on the battlefield, with the value of armored vehicles, is certainly the target of the first strike. Basically, others will rarely use armored vehicles to fight you head-on, and they definitely use air power or individual anti-armor forces to confront you, where do you say that armor can beat air power? ”

What Li Zhao said also made Gao Yong a little confused, and muttered: "Yes, when is the armor not enough, the battleship is so powerful, isn't it also sunk by the plane?" ”

Seeing Gao Yong like this, Li Zhao also reminded: "No matter how bad the armor is, it is much stronger than a single soldier." It's just that I told you that armor has a great weakness compared to air strike power, not that your armor protection is useless, but if you really face the opponent's armored force, you still need to rely on the strength of the armored vehicle itself to fight. ”

Liu Ming said at this time: "Let's not talk about this, let's continue to talk about digging pits, right?" ”

Li Zhao also went on to say at this time: "Everything actually has two sides, this kind of warship has a powerful side, and it also has a problematic side. The first problem is that this kind of warship is too complicated, and with so many ammunition, how to use it together will be a very big problem. And I estimate that the cost of such a warship will exceed two billion rubles, so have you ever wondered how much it will cost to use such a warship? Guess what. ”

At this time, Gao Yong also came back to his senses, and first guessed a number and said: "Fifty million rubles should be about the same, right?" ”

Li Zhao smiled and said nothing at this time, and Liu Ming saw Li Zhao laughing, and also said a number: "100 million rubles? ”

Li Zhao also smiled at this time and said: "The reason why I call this a pit is because this thing is expensive to build and expensive to use. Li Zhao stretched out his palm, opened his five fingers, and obviously told the two of them that they wanted 500 million rubles.

This number also shocked the two of them, and both of them couldn't help but say: "It's really expensive." "Of course it's expensive, this figure is probably equivalent to nearly 1.4 billion yuan, which is about one-fifth of the domestic military spending, that is to say, with the level of domestic military spending, it is difficult to raise five such ships, and where is Da Mao only these ships?

Li Zhao continued: "This kind of warship is basically a bottomless pit for the cost of consumption, and then there is the construction cycle is too long, and the construction cycle of this kind of warship is basically three to five years. In peacetime, it is a big money-eater, and in wartime, it is difficult to build quickly. That's why I think this thing is very pitiful, in fact, I see more 10,000-ton conventionally powered missile ships, the construction period is short, and the cost of construction and use is very low. ”

"And the goal that a 70,000-ton warship can accomplish, and a 10,000-ton level can also be completed, it's just a few formations, and it can be flexibly arranged, which is more cost-effective in terms of our protection. But it's not what we can build and use now, it's 10,000 tons, and it's hundreds of millions of yuan. ”

Li Zhao's words are not nonsense, under the same tonnage of conventional power, the cost of use is basically only half, not to mention that the tonnage is reduced to one-seventh, so of course the cost is lower. At this time, Gao Yong also said: "But this sounds like I want to have it, it sounds too strong, how can 10,000 tons have that great deterrent." ”

Li Zhao was helpless when he saw him say this, after all, everyone was very interested in this kind of warship that was powerful as soon as he heard it, but not to mention the construction, even the design was basically impossible to complete in China. Not to mention Li Zhao, he has never been exposed to ship design at all, and he was able to draw that picture, and he still saw it on the Internet sixty years later.

Li Zhao also said helplessly: "It's impossible for us to develop in this direction now, we don't have that strength." Through that imaginary drawing, we still have a lot of gains, and we have changed two projects, one is the converter of our factory, and the other is the follow-up construction of the power plant, which is also considered to be worth the money and sold at a good price. ”

Looking at the time, it was almost time to get off work, Li Zhao said: "Don't talk about it, we'll have dinner together in the evening, do you have anyone you need to call?" Besides, don't you know, I'm married? You all know my daughter-in-law, but he doesn't necessarily know you, so I'll introduce you later. "It's not a big thrill, crit level.

It's still easy to get married in this era, but they obviously haven't met the right one.
