After listening to Su Heng's words, Qian Zhizhong's eyes lit up instantly.
Although according to Su Heng's words, these high-energy weapons cost at least six million, and this is just the cost of the gun itself!
Not to mention other supporting facilities and all sorts of miscellaneous expenses.
If you set up a hundred or eighty of them, it would easily amount to several billion.
If you were to install just ten of these laser pulse cannons, which cost eighty million each, that's eight billion gone!
The expenses cannot be described as small.
But it should be noted that all of these are indeed high technology, or even black tech weapons!
Is six million a lot?
The cost of a 9A main battle tank in Long Village can reach tens of millions!
The cost of a 155mm self-propelled artillery is even more startling, with several million costs at a time!
Similarly, the cost of a long-range artillery vehicle is also often several million!
Compared to this, six million is just a small amount!
Even the eight million yuan laser pulse cannon main gun, its cost is not high.
With that level of power and range, just equip a hundred or two in Long Village, and the entire village wouldn't have to worry about being threatened by anything like primitive logs.
The cost of a hundred or two laser pulse cannon main guns is just 80 to 160 billion Long coins.
This amount of money is not enough to arm a heavy infantry brigade!
Even taking into account the issue of not "emptying the pond," we still need to leave enough profit margin for Su Heng, so the price of two hundred laser pulse cannon main guns would be over three hundred billion.
Close to half the cost of a heavy infantry brigade.
This amount of money may seem like a huge figure to an individual, but when it comes to a village as large as Long Village, even if they need money everywhere now, it's not a big problem.
At most, it would be a case of being able to arm two fewer heavy infantry brigades...
Compared to the power and deterrent of these weapons, two heavy infantry brigades are truly infinitesimal...
"Xiao Su, are you sure that the cost of these high-energy weapons is only this much?"
For a long time, Qian Zhizhong subdued his excitement, then stared straight at Su Heng without blinking, asking inquiringly.
Although Qian Zhizhong is extremely excited about the cost of such weapons, the cost is still a bit too low compared to their power, even though Qian Zhizhong has already seen countless weapons here that are cheaper than believable. Even though Qian Zhizhong has seen many inexpensive weapons here, he still finds it hard to believe the cost of these black technology weapons...
Facing Qian Zhizhong's question, Su Heng smiled and directly said:
"There's no need to worry about the cost, Qian old man. As you know, due to some special reasons, I don't need to spend a lot of manpower and materials to develop these things. You must also be clear that no matter what kind of product, the biggest cost is the research and development investment!"
"If we don't talk about the research and development investment, the other costs are relatively just leftovers..."
Hearing this, Qian Zhizhong fell silent.
Indeed, as Su Heng said, for any industrial product, except for a few accidental discoveries, the majority of normal industrial products have the largest cost in research and development investment.
For example, fighter jets like these, the cost of the fighter jet itself is actually not very high. However, due to the research and development investment, the cost of every fighter jet can be tens of millions or even hundreds of millions!
And Su Heng directly filtered out the biggest investment, which is well known by Qian Zhizhong and other core administrators of Long Village's military, almost becoming a public core secret.
Because of this special ability, every product of Su Heng can achieve ultimate cost control!
After understanding these things, Qian Zhizhong suddenly felt a sense of awe.
In the absence of research and development costs, these weapons require hundreds of thousands or even millions of costs.
Then, if research and development costs are considered, how high would the cost of these weapons be?
"Hiss..."
Thinking about this, Qian Zhizhong couldn't help but shiver.
Shaking his head fiercely, Qian Zhizhong didn't want to think any further and then said directly:
"Xiao Su, tell me about your current production capacity. Can these high-energy weapons be produced now?"
"Of course!" Su Heng nodded confidently without hesitation, then continued: "After the completion of the research and development, I have already made relevant arrangements. It is expected that the formal production can start no later than two weeks from now!"
"According to my planned capacity, the high-energy laser pulse cannon main gun can be produced at a rate of one every week, the electromagnetic cannon main gun can produce about ten per month, the auxiliary high-energy laser pulse cannon has the same production capacity as the electromagnetic cannon main gun, about ten per month, and the electromagnetic cannon close-in defense weapon and the laser pulse cannon close-in defense weapon can reach a monthly production capacity of up to forty!"
Pausing for a moment, Su Heng continued: "Of course, this is just the capacity I planned at present. If needed, I can arrange to expand the production line at any time, and it can be doubled by the latest two months..."
Hearing this, Qian Zhizhong's eyes lit up even more.
But this time, he did not speak immediately.
Instead of speaking immediately, he fell into a long period of thinking. He didn't know how long it had been, but finally turned his gaze back to Su Heng and said in a low voice:
"Xiao Su, you can start the production first. I, on behalf of Long Village's military, will first order two hundred high-energy laser pulse cannon auxiliary guns, two hundred laser pulse cannon close-in defense guns and two hundred electromagnetic cannon close-in defense guns!"
"As for the procurement price, I would like to purchase at twice the cost price. What do you think, Xiao Su?"
Hearing this, Su Heng raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Qian old man, are you only purchasing auxiliary guns and close-in defense guns?"
"Um," Qian Zhizhong nodded slightly, "The electromagnetic cannon main gun and the laser pulse cannon main gun are indeed powerful, but relatively speaking, we don't seem to need them now. And as you said just now, the production capacity of the laser pulse cannon main gun is relatively low, and if we equip them in large numbers, we would also need to provide special energy equipment..."
"We are still in the middle of planning the nuclear fusion power station, and if we have to build energy facilities for these high-energy weapons, it would inevitably draw resources from these strategic projects, resulting in a trade-off between them. Temporarily speaking, it is not necessary to do so. With laser cannon auxiliary guns and close-in defense guns, we can meet our needs temporarily..."
After hearing what Qian Zhizhong said, Su Heng pondered for a moment and then nodded slightly as well.
It seems to be true indeed.
The plan for the nuclear fusion power station, which was previously planned, has already been listed as a century-long strategic project for Long Village!
Now, those nuclear power stations are being arranged and constructed with great urgency.
Almost all the relevant productive forces in Long Village have been mobilized, and there are simply not enough people to spare.
And indeed, as Qian Zhizhong said, the power of electromagnetic cannon main guns and laser pulse cannon main guns is a bit excessive.
Especially the laser cannons.
Now that there are no aliens, producing these weapons is still a big cannon shooting mosquitoes.
Even without considering other targets, the number of satellites around the world is not high enough to require such a weapon.
To some extent, at this time, these things are somewhat of a "useless" possession.
Because the power is excessive and the enemies are too weak, it has become a "useless" item!
"Oh, Xiao Su, can you move these laser and electromagnetic cannons to warships?"
Just as Su Heng felt somewhat helpless, Qian Zhizhong's voice echoed again.
"Move them to warships?"
The sudden sound startled Su Heng.
"Yes," Qian Zhizhong nodded, "Xiao Su, you know that our east is facing the entire Pacific Ocean. Unlike the ground, there are far more dangers in the Pacific than on land, such as the big black fish from the Black Eagle Village!"
"Based on the accurate data we have obtained, now there are a total of 18 operational strategic black fish owned by Black Eagle Village! Each of these strategic black fish can carry 24 mushroom atoms. They can deliver at least 72 mushroom heads with a yield of more than ten million tons at one time!"
"If these mushroom heads were lined up in a row, they would cover an enormous area over 250 kilometers long and more than 3 kilometers wide!"
"If all 18 ships were to launch their full fire at once, including the areas affected by radiation pollution, it could cover all the water areas in our eastern region!"
"Although there is the laser pulse cannon auxiliary gun with Xiao Su, we can completely intercept these mushroom atoms more than 1000 kilometers away. But even so, if we allow these mushrooms from Black Eagle Village to explode more than 1000 kilometers away, it would still pose us quite a challenge."
"So I was thinking, it's better to keep this trouble out of our own doorstep and send it several thousand kilometers away, even to the face of Black Eagle Village!"
When he said that, Qian Zhizhong's eyes were shining brightly.
Su Heng couldn't help but take a look at Qian Zhizhong.
Send it to the face of Black Eagle Village?
Haha, it seems like a face-saving attack?
Initially, Su Heng still thought of Qian Zhizhong as a conservative party, but now it seems that he was too conservative...
However, on second thought, it doesn't seem to be wrong.
Some doctors and some failed artists have all said: The best defense is the offense!
It's better to extinguish the possibility of being struck than to wait passively and get hit.
After thinking about these things, Su Heng nodded slightly, then said:
"If it's a laser close-in defense gun or an electromagnetic close-in defense gun, they can all be directly installed on the Longyuan warship. When designing Longyuan, I also considered the problem of technological iteration and specifically designed redundant space. With the Longyuan warship weighing 14,000 tons, we can certainly carry out related modification work..."
"After a certain level of upgrade, the Tengyun batteries on Longyuan can also bear the energy consumption of electromagnetic close-in defense guns and laser pulse cannon close-in defense guns..."
"As for even higher-level high-energy weapons, if Mr. Qian and others need them, I can also consider upgrading Longyuan's power system to become a brand new nuclear fusion power system. In that case, Longyuan can also achieve nearly unlimited endurance and continuous stable high-power energy output..."
Nuclear fusion power?
Hearing the name, Qian Zhizhong's eyes lit up.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Qian Zhizhong shook his head and said:
"Never mind, it's not necessary, just use batteries..."
Nuclear fusion power is enticing, but right now, nuclear fusion reactors are being built everywhere, and even the manpower in Su Heng's hands has been pulled away.
There is no spare power to carry out such work.
Of course, Su Heng can also use artificial intelligence combined with robots to do this, which would save time and effort.
But the bottom line is still the same: it's not necessary.
Su Heng is busy with the matters of Nantianmen, as well as the large family business of Jiugeng Group, and the newly discussed Tianshu satellite monitoring system. There are so many things on Su Heng's shoulders that his burden can be described as immense. Adding more unnecessary things to Su Heng's burden would only add to his own burden and make it difficult for him to do things and live. If the village doesn't care about Qian Zhizhong, people will care.
Su Heng is a precious jewel of Long Village, the pillar and beam of the village!
If anything went wrong due to excessive fatigue, Qian Zhizhong would be unable to forgive himself...
"Okay, I will send the parameters of the laser cannon and the electromagnetic close-in defense guns to you. You can directly contact Longyuan Shipyard. I will let the people on Longyuan and the artificial intelligence there cooperate with you. With the previous reserved redundant space, I'm sure you can complete the upgrade to Longyuan by yourself..."
After receiving Qian Zhizhong's response, Su Heng didn't say much either. He simply followed Qian Zhizhong's idea and directly defined the issue.
To him, whether or not to use nuclear power is actually not important.
After all, Longyuan with batteries and Longyuan with nuclear fusion power can only carry one close-in defense gun, the difference is not significant. Although he did leave some redundant space, it doesn't mean that it can be upgraded indefinitely.
After all, it is a warship, with a total displacement of only 14,000 tons. How much can it be upgraded even if it is improved?
It's not like on land where you can just dig a mountain or push aside a piece of land to arbitrarily expand.
Facing Su Heng's response, Qian Zhizhong nodded slightly, "Okay, I will contact Lao Qin and others to let them communicate with Longyuan..."
Afterward, Qian Zhizhong and Su Heng continued to discuss in detail about the Nan Tianmen and the mushroom defense.
It seemed like an indeterminate amount of time had passed. As the hour hand of the clock slipped into the late night, Qian Zhizhong finally left with lingering thoughts.
"Xiao Su, you should also get some rest. The research on Nan Tianmen can be delayed, it's not urgent. Don't wear out your body..."
Taking a quick glance at the time, Qian Zhizhong did not linger either. He got up directly and as he left, he said in concern.
"Yes, I know, Mr. Qian, please go slowly..."
Facing Qian Zhizhong's concern, Su Heng smiled slightly and did not continue to detain him. He stood up to send Qian Zhizhong away...
Qian Zhizhong came and went hurriedly...
With Qian Zhizhong's departure, Su Heng was deep in thought.
Qian Zhizhong's "face-saving attack" idea also gave Su Heng some inspiration.
A warship can ride face and output, so why can't other things?
Even more so, compared to warships, other things may be easier to "ride face"!
For example, satellites!
…………
The next morning, Mordarharnel, who was still anxiously waiting in Long Village, received the news:
"Your Highness, you can rest assured and go ahead with your plans!"
Upon hearing the news from Long Village, Mordarharnel was immediately filled with excitement.
"Thank you! Thank you!"
"I represent the entire Shacamel Village……No, I represent the entire Camel Alliance. Thank you for your help from Long Village. Thank you!"
With unmatched excitement, Mordarharnel stood up and respectfully bowed to Qian Zhizhong in front of him.
Although Qian Zhizhong did not explicitly say so, Mordarharnel was clear that the purpose of his visit had been accomplished, and his biggest worry had already been resolved!
Black Eagle Village may be strong.
Now, whether the Blue Star is in chaos or not depends on Long Ge's decision!
Mordarharnel does not know exactly how strong Long Village is, but he is very clear that the current Black Eagle Village, and even the entire Blue Star, are no longer on the same level as Long Village!
After thanking, before Qian Zhizhong could say much, Mordarharnel spoke again:
"Qian, you can rest assured, after this, once we stabilize, I will personally deliver the one trillion dragon coins' worth of gold or oil to Long Village. Besides that, as long as you agree, I can decide to add another one trillion dragon coins' investment on top of the two trillion dragon coins' infrastructure investment in Long Village before. Thank you for Long Village's help, thank you!"
