Chapter 235: Good but expensive! Expensive is good!
The Yonko cruiser's extraordinary design was so outstanding that all the senior leaders of the Yan Kingdom Navy present could not restrain their excitement and desire.
I wish I could put this warship into construction immediately and quickly incorporate it into the navy's battle order.
At this time, the respected Mr. Zhang, as a representative of the Yan Kingdom Navy, raised several key questions about the Four Emperors cruiser to Pan Xueming.
I saw Pan Xueming responding calmly. He was organized, logical and clear, and gave detailed and accurate answers to every question.
Pan Xueming's answer was so brilliant that the senior leaders of the Yan Kingdom Navy present nodded their heads in agreement and approval, with expressions of extreme satisfaction on their faces.
At this time, Mr. Zhang said with a smile on his face and a kind tone: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Pan, thank you for your hard work."
"You can go back to the lounge to have a good rest first. You can choose to leave first. As for whether the cruiser design plan is finally adopted, we have to wait for each shipyard to explain their respective plans before we discuss and decide together."
Speaking of this, Mr. Zhang said slightly. After a pause, he added: "It is expected that the results will be officially announced to everyone in three days."
Hearing this, Lin Chenran and Pan Xueming looked at each other in tacit understanding, and then They all responded in unison: "Mr. Zhang, I understand!"
Immediately afterwards, they said goodbye to all the heads present: "Goodbye, heads!"
As soon as they finished speaking, everyone from the 704 Shipyard stood up and left the conference room in an orderly manner.
At the same time, the senior executives of other shipyards looked at the faces filled with joyful smiles when everyone in the 704 shipyard left, and they couldn't help but have mixed feelings in their hearts.
“Not good!!!”
……
After slowly leaving the spacious and bright conference room, the members of 704 Shipyard did not rush back to the factory as usual.
They seemed to have a tacit understanding and decided to stay here for a while and have a lively discussion.
At this time, Sun Yong's originally quite young face was now covered with a bright smile.
I saw him walking up to Pan Xueming in three steps and congratulating him in advance: "Mr. Pan, the design plan for the Four Emperors cruiser you proposed this time is simply amazing!"
"I saw it very clearly at the time. The senior leaders of the Yan Kingdom's navy who were sitting in the main seats all had their eyes as wide as bells. Their eyes looked like a pack of hungry wolves seeing delicious food. "
"I wish I could build this Four Emperors cruiser right away and then quickly incorporate it into our country's naval battle order!"
Hearing this compliment, Pan Xueming quickly waved his hand and responded humbly: "Sun Yong, your White Shark frigate has a greater chance of getting an order from the Navy."
"The sharp appearance and advanced weapon system are all eye-catching."
< br>In this way, the two of them went back and forth, bragging about each other's designs.
Lin Chenran, who was standing aside, couldn't stand it any longer. He couldn't help but laugh and interjected, trying to interrupt the pair of partners who were complimenting each other: "Mr. Pan! Sun Yong, you two just don't Compliment each other here.”
"The warship designs of both of you are quite outstanding. You keep praising each other like this. Isn't it interesting?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of hearty laughter broke out in the entire lounge.
Everyone in the 704 Shipyard burst into laughter, and some even cried.
For a time, a cheerful atmosphere filled the air, making people feel extremely relaxed and happy.
……
Five hours passed by like a fleeting moment.
After the tender meeting to explain the cruiser design plan, the senior leaders of Yanguo Navy organized everyone to enjoy a sumptuous dinner in an orderly manner.
During the dinner, everyone exchanged details of their work and prospects for future development, and the atmosphere was harmonious and warm. As night fell, a group of senior executives from major domestic shipyards began to leave one after another.
Everyone at the 704 Shipyard also embarked on their return journey.
What is different from other domestic shipyards is that when they returned to the factory, they did not choose to rest or relax, but devoted themselves to the warship design and research and development work they were responsible for.
Everyone is fully focused, as if forgetting the passage of time, and only wants to make the warship design in their hands perfect and flawless.
Because they know very well that even if these two warships fail to win the favor and orders from the senior leaders of Yanguo Navy, they can still find their own with their unique design concepts and excellent performance. Broad market.
These carefully built warships will not be ruthlessly sealed up, or abandoned in a corner without anyone caring about them.
After the grand and tense warship bidding meeting came to a successful conclusion, the senior leaders of Yanguo Navy did not disperse, but immediately held a continuous and in-depth meeting to carry out further discussions. discuss.
They highly appreciated the designs of the White Shark frigate and Yonko cruiser submitted by 704 Shipyard, and they were filled with joy and expectation.
Both these two plans were considered from multiple dimensions such as innovation and practicality, and they all showed outstanding and extraordinary qualities, which made everyone present shine.
Of course, after seeing the cost of the White Shark frigate and the Yonko cruiser, these generals who were used to seeing big winds and waves couldn't help but take a breath.
The cost is very expensive! ! !
Not only was his heart aching like bleeding, but even his liver seemed to be aching due to the huge number.
The designs of the White Shark frigates and Yonko cruisers of the 704 Shipyard are indeed first-rate, and their advancement and superiority are beyond doubt.
Behind the excellent design is a staggeringly high cost.
As the saying goes, "You get what you pay for," this proverb is most vividly reflected at this moment.
The famous animal saying about cars: "Good means expensive! Expensive means good! Treasure..."
Compared with the frigate and cruiser designs provided by other shipyards, The plan of 704 Shipyard is obviously more mature and stable, every detail is carefully considered, and the overall structure is more complete and reasonable.
If two warships are successfully built according to such a plan, their combat effectiveness after being put into use in the future will surely be unparalleled and they will firmly occupy the first echelon position.
The astonishing construction costs of these two warships were like an unbridgeable gap in front of the senior leaders of the Yan Kingdom Navy, causing them to fall into deep hesitation.
This amount of money is not a small amount, and it is not easy to make the final decision!
This tense and heated meeting lasted for more than an hour, but the troublesome thing is that which shipyard's frigate and cruiser design should be adopted has still not been finalized.
The vast majority of senior leaders of the Yan Kingdom Navy tend to choose the White Shark frigate design and the Yonko cruiser design proposed by the 704 Shipyard.
These two solutions do have many attractive features, and they are both top-notch in terms of performance and appearance.
However, what is prohibitive is their high cost.
Previously, the funds allocated to Yanguo Navy by superior departments were limited.
It is far from enough to build White Shark frigates and Yonko cruisers.
At the beginning, the Yanguo Navy ambitiously planned to build eight frigates and four cruisers at one time.
Now?
Haha!
