Chapter 200 is dismantled and cannot be put back together! Dragon Hunter and the Ultimate Death!
What’s more, the export price of the Falcon drone is only 10 million U.S. dollars, which means that the cost of the Falcon will only be lower!
Although Thunder is more advanced than Falcon, it is obvious that both are from the same series!
Falcon is more like a lower version of Thunder!
So no matter what, the price of the Thunder drone will not be more than that of their fighter jets!
In this way, the cost is much lower than the thunder of their fighter jets, and one-fifth or even one-third of the lifespan of their fighter jets is replaced with one-tenth of its lifespan!
When he thought of this, Alster's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot!
After more than ten minutes passed, Alster finally managed to calm down his emotions, and then said in a deep voice again:
“Then, we want to imitate their hunting machine. Can the words of Eagle or even Thunder and Thunder be imitated?”
Hearing this, Brian was silent for a moment.
Then he responded: "Unfortunately, SIr, our technical department has conducted detailed analysis and technical dissection, but the final result is that we cannot imitate it in a short time!"
Pause After a pause, Brian continued: "The main material of Longcun's Falcon drone is their own T30 carbon fiber material. You also know that they can make T30 carbon fiber material into a kilogram that only costs four hundred." Yu Dao! "
"And this is only their external sales price. Since the release of T30 grade carbon fiber materials, the Taigong Fishing Gear Company has accepted thousands of tons of T30 grade carbon fiber orders. This shows that At a price of more than 400 dollars, they still have room for profit!”
“In other words, their actual production costs are lower than the figure of 400 dollars!”
“On this point alone, we cannot imitate, or we cannot imitate at the same cost. After all, the production cost alone of our same level of carbon fiber is already much higher than their wholesale price!”
< br>
"Unless we import their T30 carbon fiber from Longcun..."
At this point, Brian did not continue.
The face of Alster in front of Brian was even more gloomy.
Import Longcun’s T30 grade carbon fiber to imitate drones?
Let’s not talk about whether Longcun will sell it. Even if they can sell it, they don’t dare to do it!
Otherwise, if a conflict does occur, Longcun will directly cut off the supply of their materials. What will they do?
It is impossible to import something of this lifeline level from your opponent in any case, especially on a large scale!
At this moment, Brian continued:
“Of course, T30 carbon fiber material is only one of the factors. The most fundamental reason why we cannot imitate the Falcon is not here, but the engine. And the flight control system!”
“The Falcon’s engine uses a special alloy that we have never seen or even heard of. According to the news from the technical department, this special alloy Alloys, they are still unable to imitate them, and they may not even be able to imitate them within five or even ten years!”
"Not only the alloy material, but also the engine itself. The technical department disassembled the Falcon engine we gave them. After the disassembly, they planned to put it back together, but they tried more than twenty times in succession. In the end, they all ended in failure!”
“Even if they assemble according to the initially scanned structural diagram, they are completely unable to reassemble the engine and restore it to its original appearance...”
< br>Hearing this, Alster couldn't help but clenched his fists.
The muscles on his face began to twitch uncontrollably.
Can't assemble? ?
It has always been that other villages have been unable to assemble their engines.
Just like Longcun before, they dismantled the Black Eagle to Longcun and couldn’t assemble it again!
The same goes for their Chinooks. Longcun also has their Chinook helicopters, but the Chinooks have been in Longcun for so many years, and Longcun has not dismantled the Chinooks yet!
The reason is that I am worried that it will not be able to be put back together after disassembly!
And now, Brian told him that they dismantled Longcun’s drone and couldn’t put it back together! !
Are you kidding me?
At this moment, Brian continued:
“In addition to the engine, the flight control system of Longcun’s Falcon UAV is a flight control system that we can’t understand at all. system. ”
“Their flight control system uses a brand-new dragon language system. It is the kind of operation control system that is fundamentally built using dragon language. None of us can do this. It is impossible to analyze and decipher the specific functions of this system, let alone imitate it..."
"And another point is that Longcun has obviously implanted a protection mechanism in this system. After we dismantled the drone, it seemed that the system detected our behavior, or the things we disassembled triggered the system's protection mechanism, and then the Falcon's system self-destructed directly! , all self-destruct, and all we get is a set of residues without any value!”
After hearing what Brian said, Alster couldn't help gritting his teeth.
“Damn Longcun people!”
An exported drone has taken so many safety measures!
There is no way they can do in-depth research!
They can't control the cost of fuselage materials, they can't copy the engine, and they can't even decipher the system!
How can I imitate this?
"So, what about our own side? Lockheed Martin, Tongyong and Broadcasting, are they able to develop drones of the same level while controlling costs?"
< br>For a long time, Alster suppressed the anger in his heart, and then spoke again.
As early as a month ago, after knowing that there were so many unmanned bombers in Longcun, they had already issued an internal drone bidding plan.
Nearly all of the well-known aviation companies such as Broadcasting Corporation, Lockheed Martin, and Tongyong Atomic participated in the bidding.
If they can’t imitate it, they will have to find a way to develop it themselves!
If they can develop unmanned bombers that reach the level of Longcun Thunder or even Thor, they can also create a fleet of unmanned bombers as large as Longcun!
The advantages of drones over manned aircraft are more than just a few!
For example, in the previous confrontation, their fighters not only had to consider the range, but more importantly, they also had to consider the pilot's endurance!
UAVs do not need to consider this at all.
More importantly, once a war does break out, drones can be used without fear of loss!
As long as you have money and materials, you can make as many as you want.
But manned fighters and bombers are completely useless. Whether they are fighters or bombers, their pilots are extremely valuable.
A qualified fighter pilot requires at least ten months or even one or two years, and hundreds, or even thousands, of hours of flight training!
The cost of each qualified pilot is no less than a fighter jet, or even more!
Losing just one of them is a tragic loss!
Therefore, as long as performance can be ensured, even if the cost of a drone is higher than that of a manned fighter aircraft, a drone is a better choice than a manned aircraft!
In this case, they naturally have to develop their own drone...
Faced with Alster's inquiry, Brian was silent for a moment, and then said: < br>
“As of yesterday, Lockheed Martin, Broadcasting, Tongyong, Grumman, Raytheon, and more than a dozen small and medium-sized aviation companies have submitted their respective plans to participate in the bidding.”
"Among Lockheed's five companies, Tongyong and Grumman have both come up with relatively excellent product designs. Tongyong's product is their Reaper EX, the ultimate Reaper drone. According to their design standards, the ultimate Reaper's The maximum bomb load will reach 2,000 kilograms, the maximum flight speed will reach 500 kilometers per hour, the maximum range will reach 6,000 kilometers, and the maximum endurance will reach 35 hours..." "And Grumman, then took out the Dragon Hunter UAV, which is a new large-scale drone developed based on their Global Hawk! "
"The design of the Dragon Hunter! The maximum bomb load has reached 2,150 kilograms. The maximum flight speed and range are the same as the Ultimate Reaper. The maximum endurance is slightly weaker, but it can still reach thirty-two hours..."
"Except In addition, the Dragon Hunter is also equipped with Grumman's latest avionics and fire control systems and radars, and can carry different types of air-to-ground and even air-to-air missiles to carry out precise strikes on targets..."
Accompanied Listening to Brian's voice, messages blurted out from Brian's mouth one after another.
However, as each piece of information appeared, Alster's brows became more and more frowned.
It wasn't until Brian finished speaking that Alster said in a deep voice:
"Is that all?"
Hearing this, Brian was startled, and then directly He nodded and said: "Sir, these are the products of Lockheed Martin and their five companies. Except for Dragon Hunter and Ultimate Death, the products of other companies do not have the ability to compete with Thunder..."
Bang! ! !
As soon as Brian finished speaking, a sound of slamming on the table suddenly sounded.
"Brian, do you think this so-called ultimate god of death and dragon hunter has the ability to compete with thunder?"
Aalster slapped his hand on the table, Alster looked gloomy. Face said.
“…” Faced with the inquiry, Brian fell silent.
Do you have it?
The maximum bomb load of the thunder drone officially announced by Longcun is as high as 2,580 kilograms!
The maximum range is up to 6,000 kilometers!
Whether it is the ultimate god of death or the dragon hunter who is still on the design drawing, there is no advantage at all in front of Lei Ming.
It can be said that these two drones are completely backward products before they are produced!
To put it bluntly, the only advantage of Dragon Hunter and Ultimate Death is the maximum speed of 500 kilometers per hour mentioned in the design drawings!
But the maximum speed of the Thunder UAV announced by Longcun is as high as 450 kilometers per hour, which is only 50 kilometers per hour less than the Dragon Hunter and Death on their design drawings!
What is the advantage of fifty kilometers?
If you don’t encounter fighter jets or missiles, there is no difference between the fifty kilometers more and less. If you encounter fighter jets and missiles, there is no difference between the fifty kilometers more or less!
In other words, the so-called dragon hunter and the ultimate god of death, let alone whether they can be developed and produced, even if they can, their value is quite limited!
“What about the price? How much does Dragon Hunter and Ultimate Death cost?”
Just when Brian was silent, Alster's deep voice sounded again.
Hearing this, Brian also came to his senses, and then slowly said:
"According to the bidding information given by Tongyong and Grumman, Tongyong Company plans to invest thirty 100 million dollars as the research and development funds for the Ultimate Death!"
"And Grumman plans to invest 4.4 billion dollars as the research and development funds for the Dragon Hunter!"
Finish the announcement! As Ryan said, Alster's mouth twitched slightly.
Three billion!
Four.4 billion!
Such a high investment means that even if the research and development is really successful, they will have to purchase at least three to four hundred aircraft to spread the research and development costs to the level of tens of millions of dollars!
And this is without calculating other production costs!
In actuality, if other costs and the profit needs of the two companies are taken into account, tripling the purchase quantity may not be enough to amortize the price to 10 million U.S. dollars!
And what is the concept of three times?
Three times four hundred is one thousand two hundred!
Even if it costs 10 million dollars per unit, the investment of 1,200 aircraft would cost 12 billion dollars!
Spend 12 billion dollars, and at least 12 billion dollars to buy a bunch of things that are not as good as thunder?
They Black and White Eagle are rich, but that’s not how money is made!
Even if Alster himself dares to approve such a plan, the Round Table Conference will not agree!
At this moment, Brian hesitated for a moment, and then spoke again:
"Sir, in fact, in addition to Tongyong and Grumman, we also received an invitation from a company. Bidding..."
Hearing this, Alster also came back to his senses and looked at Brian with a frown.
Seeing this, Brian quickly said: "In this company's bidding plan, there is a drone whose performance is very similar to Thunder, and even better than Thunder in some aspects. This is the plan, Take a look..."
While speaking, Brian took out a thick plan from his briefcase and handed it to Alster.
After doing this, Brian continued:
“This is a tender submitted by a company called Georgia. According to the data in the tender, they plan to develop a vehicle with a maximum load capacity of A drone that weighs 2,800 kilograms, has a maximum range of 6,000 kilometers, and a maximum speed of 500 kilometers! "
"And they already have some of the UAV research and development technology in their hands. According to Their bid documents stated that as long as they have enough funds, they can complete the research and development of the drone in less than a year! And it is estimated that they will only need to invest less than one billion dollars!”
Hearing this, Alster's eyes suddenly lit up.
But then his brows frowned.
"Georgia Company? What kind of company is this? Have you checked the information?"
Whether it is the same as Grumman, these are all products that have long-term relationships with their Black and White Eagle military. A large cooperative group.
Although the bid submitted was a bit outrageous, it was at least partially credible.
But Georgia and Ulster have never heard of it.
The tender documents submitted by such a company, no matter how good the data are, are they worthy of trust?
