Chapter 687
The battle was over, and the enemy was in a state of panic.
Looking at the 40-ton Dragon 59 tank, it was easily overturned by the mecha.
Commander Zhao, Political Commissar Lei, and all the officers on the scene took a deep breath!
After truly seeing the power of this mecha, Commander Zhao immediately asked Su Mo: “Su boy!”
“If this mecha is mass-produced, how much does it cost to make one?”
Under the nervous and expectant eyes of Commander Zhao and the officers,
Su Mo coughed and said, “Chief, this cost is a bit expensive.”
“If you want to mass produce, you must first build a production line, which will cost about 30 billion.”
“And the mecha unit uses a lot of special alloy materials and the most advanced electronic components.”
“Preliminary estimates show that each unit costs about 100 million.”
Hearing this number, a complex expression flashed across Chief Zhao’s face.
He was really envious of the performance of this amphibious combat mecha.
But the cost of 100 million per unit also made him feel very painful.
After all, as the most advanced main battle tank of Dragon Country, the Dragon 99, each one costs only 30 million.
There are also a large number of fourth-generation mecha dragon-10s exported, and the cost of each one is only about 150 million.
So…
The cost of three mechas is enough to produce two fourth-generation fighters!
But considering the strategic advantages that mechas can bring on future battlefields and the leap in individual combat capabilities,
It is impossible for Chief Zhao to give up such an advanced combat mecha just because it is expensive, otherwise he will be nailed to the pillar of shame!
Because the humiliating history of the Tartar Qing Dynasty made the Long people thoroughly understand a truth!
That is, if you are reluctant to spend money on military expenses, you will use it for compensation!
In Long, some people complain about the high cost of medical treatment, some complain about the high housing prices, but I have never heard of anyone complaining about the high military expenditure of Long.
Western media have been promoting Long’s military expenditure every year, ranking among the top three in the world.
But the people of Long, unanimously believe that this is not enough.
If you lose two bullets in the game of chicken, you have to fill them up quickly, otherwise the Long people who have no sense of security, how can they complain about the high military expenditure?
If the money is not spent on military expenses, not spent on manufacturing missiles and aircraft carriers, is it to be used as war reparations?
If the 1.4 billion taels of silver compensation that the Tartar Qing paid to the powers were distributed to the people at that time, everyone could get millions.
If the money was used to build warships, artillery, and military expenditures, would the country still suffer a century of humiliation?
Therefore, two camps, radicals and conservatives, were born in Longguo.
The radicals believed that the military expenditure was too little, the aircraft carriers were too few, and the fighters were too few.
When they thought that there were only 29 heavy-armored combined brigades among the 1.4 billion Longguo people, the Longguo people expressed anxiety.
Confucius said: At 30, one is established; at 40, one is not confused; at 50, one knows the will of heaven; at 60, one is obedient to others; at 70, one follows one’s heart without breaking the rules.
This sentence means:
If there are 30 heavy-armored combined brigades, Longguo will have a foothold on the blue planet!
If there are 40 heavy-armored combined brigades, there will be nothing on this planet that can confuse Longguo!
If there are 50 heavy-armored combined brigades, other countries on this planet will know that Longguo’s words are the will of heaven!
If there are 60 heavy-armored combined brigades, other countries will find every word that Longguo says very pleasing to the ear!
If there are 70 heavy-armored combined brigades, then no matter what Longguo does, it will comply with the rules of this planet!
The conservatives think that the radicals are still too conservative.
Let alone a county with a heavy-armored combined brigade, is it not too much to have one in a city district?
But at present, there are not enough for one in a province, is this reasonable?
And why is it a heavy-armored combined brigade?
Why can’t it be a heavy-armored combined division or a heavy-armored combined army!
Talent brigade?
The conservatives feel embarrassed to say it out.
But whether it is a radical or a conservative.
After watching the “Child’s Questioning Nuclear” and “Star Flag Planting” by the young and vigorous kid brother.
One by one, they found themselves turning into antiques? !
…………
Two hours later.
After a comprehensive test of this amphibious combat mecha.
The excellent performance achieved by them made Chief Zhao, Political Commissar Lei and other officers praise them highly.
Han Sanqiu and other researchers were also very happy and their smiles never stopped.
With the electromagnetic pulse rifle and the amphibious combat mecha, two new weapons that are beyond the times.
At least two first-class collective merits can be obtained, and it is even possible to obtain a special collective merit.
And it is a foregone conclusion that the Central Theater will take first place in the three-service scientific research competition next year.
In the conference room…
Just when Chief Zhao, Political Commissar Lei, and Han Sanqiu were sitting together to discuss.
Su Mo, who took a sip of tea, suddenly said in a shocking way: “Chief.”
“Although the amphibious combat mecha and electromagnetic pulse weapons will change the future war mode.”
“But a new weapon I have recently figured out may once again change our understanding of the future war mode.”
As soon as Su Mo said this, the conference room was silent in an instant, and everyone’s eyes were all looking at Su Mo.
Chief Zhao and Political Commissar Lei couldn’t help but widen their eyes, with some disbelief on their faces.
No one expected that Su Mo, who had just developed an amphibious combat mecha and electromagnetic pulse weapons, would be able to do it.
He hasn’t received his medals of honor and rewards yet, but he has come up with a new invention?
Others may not be able to come up with a few decent things in their lifetime.
But with his high-yield research and development speed, is there no scientific research bottleneck?
After swallowing his saliva, Chief Zhao suppressed his shock and asked:
“Su kid… you… what have you researched again?”
Under the gaze of everyone, Su Mo said directly: “Weather weapons – rain catalytic bombs!”
Su Mo said this lightly, but it fell into the ears of Chief Zhao, Political Commissar Lei, and Han Sanqiu and several other officers.
But it was like a thunderclap, which made everyone’s face change drastically in an instant!
Meteorological weapons are a killer weapon, which is what superpowers dream of!
Compared with H weapons, which can only be used as strategic deterrence and no one dares to use them easily unless they are at the end of their rope.
Not only can meteorological weapons be used in wars at any time, they are also highly concealed and controllable.
Moreover, the natural disasters caused by them are often mixed with natural weather changes.
It is difficult for the enemy to distinguish the connection between such consequences and human factors, and it is easy for the attacker to deny the connection.
In this way, even if the enemy is hit, they don’t know who hit them.
