A group of high-ranking military commanders worked hard to maintain a dignified posture.

However, their tight skins kept shaking.

Suddenly, more than a dozen generals, their pursed lips grinned, and burst into the most cheerful laughter.

They slapped their colleagues on the shoulders hard, trying to say something, but they didn't know what to say, they just slapped each other violently, and let out a burst of laughter.

Jingle bell~

The internal phone rang suddenly.

The officer on duty of the colonel, who was close to the phone, laughed loudly, laughing so much that tears flowed from his eyes, and picked up the phone, still laughing in his mouth: "Hahahaha! Be! This is the summary center! Hehe....! Well, yes, the commander-in-chief is here!"

"Yes, I see!" His laughter paused suddenly, then snapped and said loudly, "Yes! I'll ask the commander to come and answer the phone right away!"

The laughter in the hall stopped, and everyone looked at him.

The commander-in-chief also looked at him.

The colonel walked over in a few strides with a standard military appearance, and immediately reported: "Report to the commander-in-chief, please answer the phone on the 1st!"

Number 1?!

The commander quickly tidied up his appearance, touched the torn buttonhole with his hand, and tried to buckle the discipline button, but he couldn't touch the button.

He didn't care about anything else, strode up to the phone, picked it up, and said, "Report! I'm Li Lin, the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Division!"

The voice of No. 1 came from the phone, and he, like his predecessor, was from a science and engineering background, and his voice was not as loud as that of a soldier:

"Is it the Commander-in-Chief of the Southwest Division? I've also been updated on the situation."

"Yes, the space plane has successfully entered orbit, I already know, I want to come to you, and I am also monitoring the whole process."

"Don't be in a hurry to celebrate there, we need to see the reaction from the outside, and then take action to make the troops more vigilant, but don't make a big noise, we must be tight inside and loose outside."

No. 1 put down the phone, pinched his forehead, and said with a wry smile: "This Chen Weidong, every time he doesn't make a sound, it's a blockbuster."

"A few years ago, your Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the General Assembly all said that their aerospace aircraft program was not feasible, but what was the result, in less than six years, they simply got the aerospace aircraft out, and the whole world knew about it."

Next to him, Director Wu of the Quality Department of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, and several generals of the General Assembly were also present, all of whom looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Infinity has got the space plane out, and of course they're happy, and it's certain that they'll have to have a few drinks when they go back.

But Infinity's aerospace plane, which has always been mysterious, made such a big splash as soon as it appeared, and it really surprised them, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

At this moment, the internal confidential phone in the conference room rang, and a secretary quickly picked up the phone, asked a few softly, and then walked behind No. 1 and whispered a few words.

"Oh? Is it a call from the South China Commission of Science and Technology? Xiao Chen is there with them? Hehe, we were talking about him, and he called." Number One said with a smile.

"In the South China Commission of Science and Technology?" Director Wu of the Quality Department was about to walk over, but a figure took a step ahead of him, walked to the telephone, and picked up the phone.

Everyone in the conference room looked at each other and smiled.

"It's Boss Chen, I want to congratulate you, this test of the aerospace plane is very successful, and it is very sensational!"

"Not only us, but also all of them abroad!"

I heard a familiar voice over the microphone.

Chen Weidong laughed and said, "Director Zhang, I sent you a batch of new equipment, and I want to ask your people to check it out, but I called you, and your secretary said that you were not there, so I said wait."

"As a result, your secretary called and chased the chief, I wonder if it bothered you?"

"What's so urgent?" Director Zhang asked curiously, "What kind of equipment,

They can't even handle Director Gu?"

"They also say that they can't call the shots, it's not something new, it's just a few sets of simulation trainers for aerospace aircraft..."

Director Zhang shouted, "Aerospace Aircraft Simulator!"

"Yes! We didn't expect the aerospace aircraft test to be successful so quickly, and we just wanted to make a batch of trainers in advance and hand them over to your people for acceptance, so as to train a group of pilots for the aerospace aircraft."

"As a result, as soon as I got out of the car, I heard the news that the trial had been a complete success, which was really a coincidence." Chen Weidong said warmly.

On the other end of the phone, Director Zhang's voice was very small, probably holding the phone, reporting to No. 1.

Chen Weidong waited patiently.

On the other end of the phone, Director Zhang's voice rang again: "Xiao Chen, I want to ask, how about the cost of this aerospace plane? How much does it cost?"

This is anxious enough, and he will ask the price as soon as he comes up.

Chen Weidong restrained his smile, very cautious, but a little ambiguous replied, "It's expensive!"

"How expensive?"

The other party asked in hot pursuit.

Chen Weidong was silent for a while before he replied, "It is twice as expensive as the American space shuttle, and it is ......"

The U.S. space shuttle has a unit price of about $3 billion.

In the past, when the United States was at its best economically, it also built three, but then accidentally blew up one, and now it has two, which are used in rotation.

Every time it goes to the sky, its use cost is very high, about 5-1 billion US dollars, which is much higher than simply using a large-capacity rocket, which can be described as a gold monster.

According to Chen Weidong's offer, the price of six billion dollars is very high.

But in terms of efficiency, the space plane is much higher than the space shuttle.

After all, this is the world's first space vehicle that can be reused over and over again!

Although special runways are also required, the aerospace aircraft do not have to rely on large rockets to take to the sky every time, and they also have to carry a fuel tank that is larger than itself.

With a single flight, the launch vehicle causes a lot of pollution and forms countless discards.

Fuel bunkers will also be thrown in near-Earth space, resulting in huge cost waste, not to mention space junk.

Moreover, every time the shuttle takes off, it needs up to tens of thousands of workers to serve it.

The ground crew required by the aerospace aircraft does not need so many, there are only a few dozen.

Of course, in order to ensure the normal operation of the parts, it is possible to arrange more inspectors, but no matter what, it is much less than the space shuttle.

In fact, high-precision aircraft such as aerospace planes and space shuttles are indeed expensive, but they are not so outrageously high.

The reason for such a high price is also due to the amortized R&D costs.

Chen Weidong's aerospace plane is to serve the future utopian plan, and it is his own need.

Therefore, he could have simply quoted a cost price without submitting such a high offer.

However, for the smooth implementation of the utopian plan in the future, he was not able to sell too many aerospace planes to the state in large quantities for the time being.

At the very least, it will not change until the utopian plan is officially launched.

So, in one go, he quoted twice the selling price of the American space shuttle.

There is certainly no problem for the state to buy in small quantities, but in large quantities, it is unrealistic.

Director Zhang was obviously also frightened by his offer, and never spoke, and after seven or eight minutes, he asked him, "You seem to have something to say just now, is there any technical problem in the manufacture of aerospace aircraft?"

"Yes, the combined engines of the aerospace aircraft are imported by us from South Africa."

He gave the answer he had been preparing for a long time.

"What? The engine is imported ?! Didn't you develop this engine in-house?" Director Zhang asked hurriedly, "If that's the case, then why hasn't South Africa exported this engine to other countries?"

No wonder he was in such a hurry.

The key to aerospace aircraft is the engine.

If the engine is not manufactured by Infinity, then even if the state buys the aerospace aircraft from Infinity, it does not mean that it is exclusively owned.

Who doesn't want to keep this strategic technology firmly in their own hands!
