Chapter 517: Replacing Helicopters
It was not surprising that Su's father invited Lou Dong to dinner, after all, this time Lou Dong was really bleeding, and the material factory took a big advantage, after all, this time Lou Dong really gave up a lot of interests. Although I don't know who gave him the idea, but this move is really the right move, give up these shares, as long as you look at the shares of an automobile factory that you know that there is not much interest, many people will feel that they owe him.
In the future, I think no one will trouble him again, and it is very likely that the state will continue to recognize the shares of the automobile factory after the end of the special period, so that the benefits that the Lou family can get in the future will be limitless. After all, the technology that Li Zhao has mastered now is at the crushing level, and he also has patents related to making cars, but because there are too many, it will take a long time.
With these patents as the foundation, and then coupled with continuous research in the future, Li Zhao is very likely to build patent barriers in automobiles, and then we may be squeezing the living space of others. Of course, there may be countries cheating, but this still can't change the fact that we have patents, of course, the biggest possibility is that others will come directly to buy patents, or negotiate patent licensing and other things, but as long as you apply, you won't lose.
After all, the car must be exported, and when the time comes, as soon as others disassemble and study, everything will be known, and the secret leaked by the patent application is the same thing as the secret leaked by their research. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't sell out, but such a situation is obviously impossible, after all, the domestic short-term demand is too small.
After eating, Li Zhao was just about to go to the office to continue to be busy with his own affairs, but Master Zhang directly blocked him, and when he saw Master Zhang, he asked directly: "Tell me, when are you going to get a helicopter, I can't wait." Look at how long it's been since you said it, and I haven't heard a single movement."
Li Zhao saw that Master Zhang said this, so he took Master Zhang to his office and asked, "Uncle Zhang, what's wrong with you, why did you think of helicopters again, don't you know our current situation, where is the time to start another helicopter project?" There are enough projects under construction right now."
Li Zhao's words are not false at all, not to mention the merger with the rolling mill, just to say that the current construction project, two automobile factories, two blast furnaces and a converter, the design of the die forging machine has reached the end, and after the completion of the detailed review, it will be reported to be ready to start construction. In addition, there is the construction of residential areas, the expansion of branch factories, just like bicycle factories, a new round of recruitment has begun, this time there are not many recruits.
But there were also three or four thousand people, and with the people mobilized from other parts of the rolling mill, the bicycle factory had six or seven thousand more. You must know that bicycles are still in short supply, and the world's demand for bicycles is expected to exceed 20 million per year in the next two years.
Only then did Division Commander Zhang say: "What else can there be, it's not a matter of the exercise, this year they have taught me a lesson, next year's exercise will not take us to play, saying that the exercise with us, we will not see the results of the army building, next year they will carry out a large-scale mechanized assault exercise in the plain area, how can I swallow this breath." Didn't you say that helicopters are big killers of tanks, so we equip helicopters and crush them, and I'm mad."
Li Zhao heard what Division Commander Zhang said, so he said: "Uncle Zhang, even if you build a helicopter, it is not a matter of a while, and even if you do it, according to the price of the helicopter, you can't afford to equip it, if you want the helicopter to play a role, then your division basically needs to be equipped with at least three or four hundred helicopters, and your division plus female soldiers together will only have a military expenditure of 100 million a year, which is only enough to buy 200 helicopters."
Li Zhao's words are equivalent to a basin of cold water poured directly on Master Zhang's head, and their funds are too small. And if you want helicopters to be able to win a large-scale tank cluster, you need a large number of helicopters, just like the 101st Airborne Division of Bald Eagle, the number of people is about the same as that of Commander Zhang's troops, but how many helicopters do people have? There are nearly 400 of them, and this is only a helicopter, and the rest of the equipment is not counted, which is not something that Division Commander Zhang can bear.
After all, their annual military spending, saying 100 million is already too much,
Under normal circumstances, it is more than 90 million, and if they are allowed to use their own military funds to change their clothes, then there is not much possibility for one or two decades. After all, this equipment has been returned, and it must be used and maintained, as far as their little military expenditure is concerned, not to mention the maintenance of helicopters, as far as the current equipment and personnel of the troops are concerned, they are already stretched.
Hearing Li Zhao say this, Master Zhang said: "You told me about this helicopter, if it doesn't work now, you have to find a good way for me, my old Zhang will definitely want to save face, and there is so much money by the way."
Li Zhao was helpless when he heard it, this old boy was still playing a scoundrel with him, but it was also a coincidence, Li Zhao had thought of suicide drones before, and he was thinking that there were too many funds and more projects, and after thinking about it, he recorded this, and he was indeed drawing a diagram of this recently, after all, this is very simple, but the control system and the reconnaissance system need to be studied by the research institute, and now he has finished drawing the drawings of the mechanical part.
Thinking of this, Li Zhao said: "Uncle Zhang, you can't be a scoundrel, part of your current expenses are still provided by the factory, otherwise so many people really rely on military spending, and they are only enough to eat, so don't think about the helicopter when it takes time, your division really can't afford to play." But there is really a good thing for you, first of all, the cost is not high, and at the same time, the lethality is good, and the most important thing is that it is quite difficult to prevent, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Division Commander Zhang looked at Li Zhao with disdain at this time and said, "You can't be talking about an anti-tank mine, right? If it is on the battlefield, this is very difficult to prevent, after all, when the group charges, no one has time to go to the position to clear mines, at most a few rounds of covering attacks before the attack, after all, when the attack is really launched, time is very precious, but this kind of tactic, the exercise can't be used."
Li Zhao was smiling at this time, it was normal for Master Zhang to think so, after all, how would he know about suicide drones, drones Li Zhao is one of the most familiar businesses, from very small quadcopter drones to specially customized drones with a length of a few meters, he has done them all, of course, he mainly does the mechanical part. As for the electronic part, it is actually very mature in the future, and it can even be bought directly online.
And now, Master Zhang obviously doesn't have this insight, Li Zhao said at this time, "Uncle Zhang, who do you look down on? Since I say it's a good thing, it's definitely a good thing, how can it be a landmine, and besides, I have to be able to make a mine, do you think I can make a mine? Have I ever played something about explosives or something? Those are my blind spots, if you want to find a military factory to make mines, I'll be mechanically stronger."
Master Zhang looked Li Zhao up and down, and said for a while: "I think you seem to be able to make landmines, and besides, landmines are so simple, don't talk about others, me, your father, and your father-in-law, who hasn't made landmines yet, how can you be such a powerful mechanical engineer who doesn't know." Besides, your dad was our expert at making landmines back then, so I can't guarantee that he will teach you, you kid is not honest, but you brought up the helicopter?"
Li Zhao also made Master Zhang speechless, and he no longer sold Guanzi, and said: "I also take into account that helicopters have their own problems, such as high price, we can't afford to equip them, and it is quite difficult to produce, if we are not ready, we will go directly to production, it is very likely that there will be low production efficiency and high cost, so I thought of another thing, that is, suicide drones."
Helicopter for the material factory, and even the merger of the 998 factory, is a relatively difficult bone to gnaw, after all, the two factories together more than six level technicians, there are thousands of people, there are a lot of middle and low-level technicians, there are thousands, but the problem is that they need to take care of too many factories, want to play a relatively large helicopter factory, that is really need a lot of people, after all, helicopters and fighter jets are very different.
For fighters, there are hundreds of fighters one or two generations higher than others, and it is possible to dominate the battle in this era, but helicopters are hundreds of helicopters for a division, and they are considered to be weapons of the same level as tanks, and if the number is less, it is really useless. So you can often see a situation that advanced fighters can be produced only a few dozen a year, while a helicopter factory must produce hundreds or thousands of helicopters a year.
only
It's such a thing, Commander Zhang, he can't take it into account at all, after all, he really doesn't have the opportunity to understand the future war, and Li Zhao is also based on this, so he wants to get the drone out, after all, it's cheaper now.
Sure enough, Master Zhang asked with a confused face at this time, "What suicide drone? How come I've never heard of this weapon? You're not painting me bread again, are you? I can tell you, I'm not that easy to deceive."
