Chapter 123 What did you say? Did Xiaosu get the electromagnetic gun out?
Hearing this, Tang Wenwen was silent.
If the cost is so high, it is indeed impossible to promote it to millions of National Defense Forces.
One powered armor has a minimum guarantee of 1 million, and 10,000 is 10 billion!
The National Defense Forces have millions. If they were all replaced, that would be trillions of military expenditures!
With such a military expenditure, not to mention the Dragon Kingdom, even the world's largest economic power, or even the world's top ten economic powers combined, cannot afford such horrific military expenditures!
After all, the military budget of so many armies cannot be put entirely on one piece of equipment.
Taking a step back, even if you don’t buy any other equipment, so many people still have to have a monthly salary, as well as food, drink, and shit each month. These are all money. !
Can’t we also deduct the soldiers’ salaries and living expenses?
…………
After handing the powered armor to the Dragon Team, Su Heng turned around and left the training ground, and then returned to the laboratory.
After returning to the laboratory, Su Heng fell into deep thought.
Although Su Heng gave a negative answer to Tang Wenwen's question, the other party's question also brought some other thoughts to Su Heng.
Tang Wenwen and the others' power armor is expensive, so what if he makes some inferior power armor?
The biggest cost of this batch of power armor is the electromagnetic weapons and the intelligent biological helmet that integrates many functions into one.
If electromagnetic weapons and smart helmets are removed, the cost of these armors can be reduced by at least two-thirds!
The cost of one million can be reduced sharply to about three hundred thousand.
“No, it’s still too expensive”
Thinking of the price of three hundred thousand, Su Heng shook his head slightly.
Three hundred thousand is indeed not much, at least it is not a big number to him now.
But if you multiply these three hundred thousand by millions, then this number will directly become an astronomical figure!
Looking at the entire Blue Star, the only ones who can afford such a huge number are the Black and White Eagle family.
And even Black and White Eagle has to be shy if he wants to really come up with so much money in one go!
As for the Dragon Kingdom, it has no such strength at all, unless the Dragon Kingdom stops doing anything else and spends all its money as military expenditure...
"Smart biological helmets can castrate"
"Electromagnetic weapons can be replaced by traditional gunpowder weapons"
"Armor protection capabilities..."
The ideas that can be modified kept passing through Su Heng's mind.
But when thinking about the protective ability, Su Heng was stuck again.
If the protective capabilities are deleted or weakened, then what is the value of these powered armors?
How to protect soldiers inside armor?
Or should we just cut off the protection aspect and convert the armor into the auxiliary power armor required by the logistics arm?
While thinking, Su Heng couldn't help but think of the information he had searched on the Internet before.
According to the content of the information, Black and White Eagle has already been engaged in research on power armor.
Powered armor has even been developed that can assist soldiers in carrying heavy artillery shells weighing tens of kilograms.
Although in Su Heng's view, Black and White Eagle's so-called powered armor is all rubbish.
Just like the so-called smartphones or artificial intelligence on Blue Star now, they are all fake products.
The so-called armor that can assist in carrying tens of kilograms of artillery shells actually relies on a power system connected to cables.
If this isn’t what it looks like, what is it?
I can’t go to the battlefield, but I can still pull a cable behind you around the clock, right?
Not to mention whether the cable can be pulled like this, even if it can, regardless of all obstacles, terrain, environment and other factors, how far can you drag a cable behind your butt?
Cables have no weight, right?
In the end, neither Black and White Eagle nor other countries have developed real power armor, not even the so-called exoskeleton power system.
The fundamental reason is that they have not yet developed high-energy batteries.
Su Heng is not very clear to what extent batteries around the world are used for military purposes.
But in Su Heng's eyes, batteries for civilian use were completely unsightly.
That kind of energy density is not even as good as the battery on the lowest toy drone in his hand!
With such an energy density, if exoskeleton power can be created, there is only one possibility: alien technology!
However, although the outer exoskeleton powered armor is not worth mentioning, the concept it proposes is not problematic.
It would not be any difficult for Su Heng to just create the kind of power armor that assists in transportation and acts as a porter.
The name Powered Armor sounds deceptive, but in fact there are only two core technologies.
One is the material of the armor, and the other is the power of the armor. In layman's terms, it is the power source of batteries.
Neither of these two problems is a problem for Su Heng.
In terms of materials, let alone the T50 carbon fiber that he has developed specifically for power armor. Even if it is already on the market, T30 grade carbon fiber, which is priced at 400 knives per kilogram and is deliberately priced in the international market, is enough to be used as the material for these armors.
As the king of materials in the new era, carbon fiber is almost an all-rounder...
Even if there is no carbon fiber material, titanium alloy will do.
However, relatively speaking, titanium alloy is too heavy, so it is not cost-effective to use titanium alloy...
Not to mention the power aspect.
Without these two core issues, Su Heng does not need to take action on the remaining issues, and can be handed over to a professional research institution. It will not take long to create a real exoskeleton powered armor.
But, again, if you change it like this, you can only sacrifice the protective ability of the armor.
Soldiers who want to protect themselves can only use armor such as body armor.
Thinking of this, Su Heng frowned...
......
On the other side, when Su Heng was thinking about how to modify the power armor.
The news that Su Heng equipped Jiaolong with power armor quickly reached Qin Shan's ears.
"Power armor? Electromagnetic weapons? And electromagnetic guns??"
Hearing the news from Jiaolong, in the Longyuan Shipyard, they were checking the Bixi strategic submarine and the Chiki attack Qin Shan, who was in progress of submarine production, was stunned on the spot.
Qin Shan even suspected that his ears were hallucinating, so he deliberately took the phone away from his ears and checked it carefully.
“What’s wrong, Lao Qin?”
Noticing Qin Shan's abnormality, an old man who was similar to Qin Shan's age beside Qin Shan said with some confusion.
Hearing the voices of the people around him, Qin Shan also came back to his senses. After pondering for a moment, he said:
"There was news from the Jiaolong team just now that Xiao Su was measuring for them. He built a batch of power armors, and those power armors were also equipped with electromagnetic weapons."
"?" Faced with Qin Shan's response, the old man next to Qin Shan was also stunned.
It took a long time for the old man to come to his senses, and then he said in confusion: "Old Qin, the power armor and electromagnetic weapons you mentioned are the ones studied abroad?"
"Well" Qin Shan nodded slightly, and then said: "If nothing else, that should be it. According to the news from Jiaolong, those armors have a load capacity of 500 kilograms to 800 kilograms, and they have already tried those electromagnetic weapons. , the power is very terrifying, far exceeding all the weapons we have now!"
"..." After listening to what Qin Shan said, the old man next to Qin Shan fell into silence again, and his expression became more and more uncertain.
"Let's go, I can't explain clearly on the phone. Let's go and have a look first."
For a long time, Qin Shan took a deep breath, and then said directly.
Before he finished speaking, Qin Shan turned around impatiently and headed outside Longyuan Shipyard.
Hearing this, the old man beside Qin Shan also came to his senses, nodded, and immediately followed Qin Shan's footsteps towards the outside of Longyuan Shipyard.
Things at the shipyard are very important. According to the original plan, they not only have to check the construction project of two types of submarines, but also the construction project of another brand-new super battleship!
These three ships are related to the future rise and fall of the navy!
But now, after hearing the news from Jiaolong, they couldn't sit still at all.
Powered armor and the like are easy to talk about, but electromagnetic weapons, this stuff has also been developed? ?
And according to what Jiaolong said, Su Heng also miniaturized this thing to the level of a personal weapon?
Thinking of the relevant information about electromagnetic weapons, the two of them couldn't keep calm. If it weren't for the lack of wings, Qin Shan would even want to take off right now and fly to Hanzhong as fast as possible.
Electromagnetic weapons!
The Black and White Eagle's Zum-class battleship, which is said to be full of black technology, is equipped with such a weapon.
Although the so-called electromagnetic gun of the Zum battleship has not yet been installed on the ship.
But it does not hinder people's understanding of electromagnetic guns.
In the past, Black and White Eagle directly promoted this technology to become Blue Star's number one military technology!
The Zum-class battleship is even called the leader of battleships in the new era!
Now, if Su Heng really developed an electromagnetic weapon and could use it so skillfully, then if this electromagnetic weapon technology was moved to a battleship, what level would their battleship reach?
And not only on battleships, but also on land, if this kind of weapon is moved to a tank, how powerful will the tank be?
As for the Air Force, if this weapon is transported to a helicopter, how terrifying will the helicopter be?
When thinking of this, Qin Shan and the two couldn't help but tremble!
With such a mood, not long after, a special plane took off directly from Linhai Airport and flew towards Hanzhong.
The speed of the plane is very fast, hundreds of kilometers per hour, but this speed is like a turtle crawling in the eyes of Qin Shan and others.
As if a century had passed, during the almost torturous wait, the plane finally landed at Hanzhong Airport.
Before the plane could stop, Qin Shan and the two men couldn't wait to stand up and walk towards the plane door.
