Chapter 211 Dwarf? Equipment that is already lagging behind even before mass production!
Thirty billion dollars?
Five years?
Hearing these two numbers, Alster's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
They Black and White Eagle are very rich.
But that’s not how money is spent!
Who can withstand tens of billions of dollars?
And more importantly, even with 30 billion, it will still take five years to restart the production line!
Five years!
How have they spent the past five years?
Will Longcun wait for them for five years?
Or should we let them huddle up and wait for the production line to restart in five years?
No matter which one it is, it is impossible for them!
For a long time, Alster finally suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and then said again:
"What about our Lightning fighter? Can it be mass-produced now?"
Hearing this, Preston immediately said: "As for the Lightning fighter, Lockheed Martin has already given a reply. As long as our order funds are in place, they can mass-produce the Lightning fighter at any time..."
After receiving the response, Alster's face brightened slightly.
Lightning fighter, this is their latest model of stealth fighter.
It is also a new generation of main fighter aircraft used to replace the Raptor, and even gradually replace the main fighters such as the Fighting Falcon and the Eagle fighter!
The development time is slightly later than that of the Raptor, and it absorbs and draws on many mature experiences of the Raptor.
As early as six years ago, the Lightning fighter completed its first test flight.
However, due to some other reasons, the production plan of the Lightning fighter was delayed again and again...
But now, it is obviously impossible to restart the Raptor.
And the cost of building a Raptor is too high, and the maintenance cost of the iron-based stealth coating is even more staggering!
For the raptors built before, in order to protect those golden bumps, they even had to spend huge sums of money to build special "air-conditioned rooms" for the raptors!
Without an "air-conditioned room", the Raptor's stealth coating would be easily eroded and destroyed by the natural environment!
Not just Raptors, but also Ghost Bombers!
Thinking of this, Alster took a deep breath, and then asked again: "Has Lockheed Martin given a quotation? How much does the Lightning Fighter cost? If produced now, their annual output will be "How much?"
Facing the inquiry, Preston pondered for a moment, and then slowly said:
"In terms of price, the price given by Lockheed Martin is one for the A-type conventional Lightning fighter. The price of a model B short-range vertical take-off and landing Lightning fighter is $140 million, and the cost of a model C carrier-based Lightning fighter is $150 million..."
"As for production issues, Lockheed Martin stated that with their current production capacity, they can provide at least 120 Lightning fighters a year..."
One hundred and twenty?
Hearing this number, Alster nodded slightly.
One hundred and twenty does not sound like a lot.
But that's a fighter jet!
Looking around the world, there are only a handful of villages that can possess 120 fighter planes!
More than 80% of the villages in Blue Star do not have a hundred fighter planes!
And these fighters also include old second-generation or even first-generation fighters...
There are even many villages that don't even have fighter planes!
Not to mention the annual production of 120 fighter planes!
And it’s also a stealth fighter!
In addition to the output, the price of lightning is also cheaper.
The single purchase price of the Raptor is as high as 200 million U.S. dollars!
The highest price of a Lightning is only $1.5 billion, and the most expensive Lightning is a quarter cheaper than a Raptor!
The money saved by purchasing four Lightnings is enough to purchase a brand new Raptor...
But just when Alster nodded, Preston, his confidant in front of Alster, spoke again:
"Sir, with all due respect, although Lockheed Martin's Lightning fighter can be mass-produced, , but according to the data we have, the performance of the Lightning Fighter is not enough to compete with Longcun’s Sword Twenty!”
“Although the stealth capability of the Lightning Fighter is similar to that of the Raptor, compared to the Sword Twenty, It's still a little weaker..."
"In terms of speed, although the Lightning fighter can cruise at supersonic speed, the maximum speed of the Lightning is only Mach 1.6, while the maximum speed of the Sword Twenty is as high as Mach 2.2. The cruising speed Both are as high as Mach 1.8!”
“In terms of speed alone, the Sword Twenty is completely crushing against Lightning!”
"In addition, the combat radius of the Lightning fighter, even the C-type Lightning with the longest combat distance, has a maximum combat radius of only 1,200 kilometers!"
"The shortest B-type Lightning, the combat The radius is only less than a thousand kilometers!”
“In addition, in terms of bomb-carrying capacity, the maximum bomb-carrying capacity of Lightning is only six tons, without sacrificing stealth performance! , even the C-type Lightning, which has the largest bomb load, has a maximum internal bomb load of only one ton! "
"On the other hand, Longcun's Sword Twenty has a maximum bomb load of up to eleven tons, with built-in bombs! The ammunition capacity of the warehouse is more than four tons!"
"Although this data has not been confirmed, even if it is half, the ammunition capacity of the Sword Twenty is far more than that of the Lightning!"
< br>
"In a head-on confrontation, Lightning does not have any advantage..."
Hearing this, Alster's brows, which had just been relieved, frowned again.
At this moment, Preston continued:
"In addition to these, there is also the radar aspect of the fighter jet. According to the information we have, the Yinglong fighter jet exported by Longcun A target of 1 square meter can even be detected from a distance of 250 kilometers! ”
“A target of 0.5 square meters can be detected within 100 kilometers! These data have been passed! Confirmed real data! ”
"In comparison, the radar carried by Lightning can only detect targets of no less than 5 square meters at a distance of 250 kilometers, and the detection range for targets of 1 square meter is only 150 kilometers..."
"The Yinglong fighter plane is just a fighter plane used by Longcun for export..."
After hearing what Preston said, Alster's face also became a little ugly. stand up.
The radar performance of the fighter jets exported by Longcun has reached such a terrifying level, and they have not yet entered the service of stealth fighters, and the radar is not as good as the radar of the fighter jets exported by Longcun!
In other words, the radar of Longcun's own fighter planes is likely to absolutely crush the radar of their stealth fighters!
At this moment, the information Qian Zhizhong said in the previous video emerged in Alster's mind involuntarily.
According to the information disclosed by Qian Zhizhong in front of the whole world, the radar detection range of Jian Erwen is as high as 350 kilometers!
The maximum detection range of Yinglong fighter jets previously disclosed by Longcun in the desert is 250 kilometers. But now they discovered that the radar of the Yinglong fighter jet can detect targets of one square meter even from a distance of 250 kilometers!
Doesn’t that mean that Jian Er’s detection range of 350 kilometers also refers to the detection of a one square meter target 350 kilometers away? distance?
So within the 150-kilometer range of the latest model of air-to-air missile just announced by Longcun, what level will the Jianwen's radar detection capability reach?
Is it possible to directly discover their stealth fighter?
Thinking of this, Alster suddenly shuddered!
For a moment, the entire office fell into dead silence.
You can hear a pin drop!
Looking at Alster in silence, Preston didn't say anything more.
As an aide, he had already reminded him of everything he could...
I don’t know how long it took, but Alster finally came back to his senses.
Then, Alster's deep voice quietly sounded: "Don't we have more advanced stealth fighters?"
Hearing this, Preston was startled, and then fell directly into There was silence.
A more advanced stealth fighter?
The most advanced stealth fighters they currently have are the Raptor and Lightning.
Even if price and cost factors are put aside, the Raptor is more advanced than their latest Lightning!
Of course, in terms of avionics and radar systems, the Raptor is definitely not as good as the Lightning, but these things can be replaced!
If the Raptor production line can be restarted, they can completely replace the Raptor's avionics and radar.
But, does this make sense?
Even if all the Raptor's avionics radars are replaced, what advantage will it have against Jian Twenty?
Lightning’s radar is not as good as Yinglong’s radar at the exit of Longcun!
Not to mention the radar for Longcun’s own use...
And besides the raptors and lightning, what else do they have?
That ugly big-mouthed monster that failed to compete with Lightning?
Not to mention whether the research and development of that thing is completed, even if the research and development is completed, whether it can be used against the Sword Ten Changes that Longcun put in the desert before, let alone against Sword Twenty, is a question. Unknown!
Faced with Preston's silence, Alster's face became even more gloomy.
Seeing this, Preston sighed slightly, and then slowly said: "Sir, I think we need to consider what Antonio said before..."
"No Before we can figure out the specific details of Jian Twenty and its weaknesses, or find a way to restrain Jian Twenty, we must think of other ways to check and balance Longcun, or stabilize Longcun!”
"We have the most powerful economy, the most powerful scientific research capabilities, and the most powerful military power. In recent years, we have slacked off because we have no opponents, but we have enough foundation. As long as we are given some time, we want to surpass Longcun It’s not a problem at all. The current lead of Longcun is just temporary..."
Hearing this, Alster also came back to his senses, took a deep look at Preston, and then He also fell into deep thought.
After a long time, Alster raised his head again, turned his gaze to Preston, and said in a deep voice:
"So, Preston, what do you think we should do now? What should we do?”
Facing the inquiry, Preston was silent for a moment, and then said:
"Our top priority now is to solve the problems of other villages first. Because of Longcun, our status is now seriously challenged!"
"Each village has more and more thoughts about us. Especially in the desert, the poor camels have been moving more and more frequently recently. The sand camels have frequently taken off in the fighter planes they just bought from Longcun, and they have even flown near our base several times! "
"Such a trend must be suppressed! "
Hearing this, Alster nodded slightly.
But he didn’t say anything, but quietly waited for Preston’s next words.
Preston did not show off, and continued:
“We are currently unable to form an effective check and balance on Longcun in terms of armed forces, but other villages are different, even Shaluotuo, they have what Longcun provides. Advanced fighters, but no matter how advanced those fighters are, to put it bluntly, they are only fourth-generation aircraft, at most four and a half generations!"
"But we have fifth-generation aircraft like the Raptor! The Raptor may not be able to deal with the Jian Twenty! , but it’s easy to deal with that Yinglong Tianlong!”
“As long as we can suppress those restless camels, even if we are challenged by Long Village, we will still be Blue Star! The king!”
“We want all the villages in Blue Star to know that we may not be able to deal with Long Village, but we can easily deal with them!”
After a pause, Preston continued:
"I suggest that our competition should continue, but the location of the competition should be changed from the Pacific Ocean to the oil sea area!"
"Just put it there Desert Camels are at their doorstep! At the same time, we invite those Desert Camels to participate and let them have a good feel for who is the real overlord of Blue Star!"
"In addition, we can also let the squids go! Out, a peaceful desert is not what we want, what we want is oil! And what the desert needs is a vicious dog..."
After listening to what Preston said, Yal Ste was lost in thought.
After a long time, Alster nodded slightly, and then said again: "What about Longcun? What do you think we should do? Leave it alone?"
Hearing this, Preston pondered for a moment, Then he said: "Longcun's current armed forces have grown explosively. There are Sword Twenty and the unbelievably huge bomber fleet. Within their absolute territory, we want to suppress them with armed force. In a short time It’s impossible inside.”
“But outside of the absolute realm, Blue Star is still our world! We have the most powerful fleet in Blue Star! In this regard, we still have absolute control over Longcun! Advantage! We can definitely use this to negotiate with Longcun!”
“In addition, we also have absolute advantages in economy and technology, and Longcun still has to rely on most of its high technology. For us! ”
“For example, their high-end machine tools, their high-end medical equipment, their computers, their industrial software, their chips, their large aircraft, their operating systems, their artificial intelligence Wait, wait, they can’t even produce ballpoint pen beads themselves now!”
"We have absolute control over these things, and we can completely block them from them! We can even use this to make them hand over the data and even technical information of Sword Twenty and even Thunder and Thunder God!"
Listen After what Preston said, Alster's eyes flickered slightly.
Yes!
Longcun may have the most advanced fighter planes and the most advanced drones!
But so what?
In other aspects, Longcun is still a dwarf!
Now Longcun is like a deformed monster!
Just like the old polar bear who only developed heavy industry but not light industry!
The heavy industry of the old polar bears even made them panic for a time!
But in the end, they still played the old polar bear to death!
But now, the gap between them and Longcun is wider than the gap between them and the old polar bear back then!
Almost all civilian high-tech fields in Longcun depend on them!
In other words, it depends on the Angsa Circle centered on their Black and White Eagle Village!
In this circle, they are not allowed, who dares to say no to them?
They can deal with Longcun just like they dealt with the old polar bear!
Then they cannibalized Longcun bit by bit!
