"Chinese Yellow"
Upon hearing this name, the eyes of Qian Zhizhong and others lit up.
"Yanhuang is great!"
"Great! Let's go with this name!"
As the villagers of Longcun, how could they not understand the significance of this name!
It can be said that any genuine Longcun villager couldn't possibly be unaware of the meaning of these two characters!
For Longcun people, these two characters are like an indelible stamp on their blood!
That is the esteemed legacy passed down through thousands of years of Longcun!
The appearance of NTM-2 also carries an extremely special meaning. Once NTM-2 truly arrives, the peak of Longcun will officially come into being!
No village or individual on the entire Blue Star can interfere with Longcun!
Longcun, which has fallen for hundreds of years, will once again rise to its former glory!
The world comes to pay homage!!
In such a special moment, the NTM-2, a sacred weapon that can lead Longcun to its peak, is named after Yanhuang, which is truly fitting!
At this moment, with their eyes sparkling, Qian Zhizhong and the others seemed to have glimpsed the day of Yanhuang's arrival!
They saw the unparalleled prosperity and grandeur!
They saw Longcun standing at the top of the world, looking down on all others!
……
After what seemed like an eternity, Qian Zhizhong and the others finally came to their senses.
Later, Qin Shantian once again opened his mouth:
"Little Su, if we were to start the production plan for Yanhuang right now, how soon can we bring Yanhuang to the market?"
Upon hearing this, Su Heng pondered for a moment before saying:
"If everything goes according to plan and we have sufficient resources, under the premise of ensuring ample supply, it is estimated that it will take at least five years for the first Yanhuang to leave the production line..."
"Five years?" Hearing this figure, Qian Zhizhong and the others were somewhat disappointed.
However, it was only for a moment before the few of them immediately shook off the thoughts in their minds.
Disappointment?
Five years is indeed not a short period. If possible, whether it's Qian Zhizhong or the others like Qin Shantian, they would have wished to see Yanhuang appear in front of them in the next second.
But everyone is well aware that this is simply not possible!
Not to mention the unprecedented, sci-fi space battleship of Yanhuang; even the aircraft carriers like Longyuanshen, Jiwe, and Bingxi, would require two or three years to be put into operation.
Although there are factors involved such as the need to maintain their military system and train military personnel, it cannot be that everything is done by Su Heng's robots and artificial intelligence.
This is what led to a significant reduction in the production speed of vessels like Longyuanshen and Bingxi.
But even if all of them were to use Su Heng's own artificial intelligence and intelligent robots, working around the clock, day and night, with overtime and rushed work, the production speed would still be greatly reduced.
Longyuanshen and other vessels can't be put into operation overnight.
As for the epic space battleship Yanhuang, that is even more impossible.
Even if it weren't for Su Heng saying this, even if it were ten, twenty, or thirty years, they would doubt whether anyone could actually create Yanhuang.
Besides Su Heng, no one else could possibly create Yanhuang.
There's no way about it; the technological gap is too great.
Except for Su Heng, the basic technology of Longcun is now on a completely different level than that of Su Heng.
It's like trying to take a modern chip and have someone from the S1S2 era produce it.
Even if you gave them all the complete technology and taught them how to produce it step by step, they still wouldn't be able to produce the chip.
To some extent, this is a very embarrassing and even very bad situation.
But this is not a good situation because of Su Heng, but rather because of their Longcun. They simply cannot help it; besides Su Heng, almost everyone in Longcun is an ordinary person, even the top scientists are just ordinary people with a bit of brainpower.
And what is Su Heng?
That is......
No, that is completely irrelevant……
To be honest, sometimes Qian Zhizhong and others even thought about asking Su Heng to pause for a while, to let them develop their basic industry first. They wanted to catch up with Su Heng in terms of basic industry before Su Heng continued his advancements.
It's like the current Yanhuang, because of the huge gap, so it can only be produced by Su Heng.
But this idea only appeared and was quickly suppressed by Qian Zhizhong and the others.
They are indeed falling behind Su Heng in terms of development, but to make Su Heng stop advancing and stagnate while they catch up would not be helping Longcun; it would be harming it!
They may not be able to keep up, but they can still learn!
Longcun has never lacked people who are willing to learn.
During the most difficult times of Longcun, it was precisely because of the dedication of young individuals who continuously absorbed knowledge that Longcun was able to develop step by step to its current state.
Even in the days before Su Heng led the way, they were able to make their way through.
Now, Su Heng has already blazed a path of prosperity in front of them. If they still cannot keep up, what does that say about them?
"Since that's the case, little Su, go ahead and do whatever you need to do. Just let us know what you need, and we will definitely do everything we can to help you accomplish it!"
Without hesitation, Qiao Zhenhai patted Su Heng's shoulder and spoke earnestly.
"Alright, I will have Chaos compile the relevant information and send it to Qian Old for you…"
Su Heng didn't go through the motions; he simply replied directly.
This time, Su Heng didn't say anything about covering the costs or secretly producing it.
Such a massive project, he couldn't hide it from everyone.
Not to mention the rest, just the mobilization of resources alone would be a astronomical number!
As long as they don't go blind, they will certainly feel it.
Even if Su Heng has a way to hide it, he hasn't thought about hiding it either. After all, this is just too damn expensive.
Even with Su Heng's current wealth, he couldn't afford this.
According to Su Heng's estimate, the cost of a single Yanhuang space battleship alone exceeds 200 billion Longcun coins!
And with all kinds of weapons and related supplies, a Yanhuang battleship alone wouldn't cost less than three thousand billion Longcun coins!
This figure doesn't even include the research and development costs of Yanhuang, nor does it account for the construction of production lines and other equipment; it's just the cost of the battleship itself!
If we include the production line, according to Su Heng's estimate, the entire process of building a complete Yanhuang space battleship, including upstream and downstream industries, will require at least one complete Yanhuang space battleship to invest!
This is still the case when Su Heng himself is on the front line, and there are no barriers. Otherwise, this cost would only be more terrifying!
As for the research and development costs...
That figure is simply impossible to calculate!
After all, with normal R&D, any single item on Yanhuang is essentially a bottomless pit of technology!
For example, the already well-known controlled nuclear fusion technology on the Blue Star has almost become a cliché.
But now, no village or power on the Blue Star has been able to produce any technical results.
Controlled nuclear fusion is like this, let alone the other technologies.
High-level artificial intelligence, high-energy pulse laser weapons, electromagnetic weapons, plasma stealth shields, non-gravity propulsion engines, magnetic levitation power devices, Yeyao, Qingniu, Xuannu, Jingzhong, Dianfu armor...
Just take any one of them out, and even if ordinary people on the Blue Star study them, they wouldn't know how long it would take!
Even more so, not to mention these advanced technologies, but even the lowest-level ones, like the consumer-grade judgment-2 drone, wouldn't be studied thoroughly in a day or two.
When the White and Black Eagle Village asked for a ceasefire condition, they didn't specifically mention the technology of judgment-2 drones.
Although strictly speaking, the technology of judgment-2 drones is not difficult, with the background of White and Black Eagle Village, it's just a matter of time to reverse-engineer the drones.
But the key issue is time, and time is also a cost among all other costs!
Overall, Yanhuang-class battleships are not something a single person can handle!
Even Su Heng himself cannot do it.
Even Longcun has its limits; otherwise, it wouldn't have needed to put so much effort into persuading polar bears and camels and other villages to join.
A complete industrial chain costs thousands of billions, a single Yanhuang space battleship costs thousands of billions, who can bear it?
Even with Longcun's vast resources, it couldn't sustain such heavy production!
"By the way!"
Suddenly, it seemed like something clicked, and Qin Shantian said again:
" Besides Yanhuang, you mentioned a NTM-1B before, right, little Su?"
"What is the difference between NTM-1B and Yanhuang?"
Upon hearing this, the attention of Qiao Zhenhai and others was directed towards Su Heng, waiting for his response.
Yanhuang is already so powerful and terrifying. According to what Su Heng said before, Yanhuang is just a weaker improved version of the first generation Nan Tian Men space battleship.
Then, as the upgraded version of the first-generation Nan Tian Men space battleship, what level of power would NTM-1B possess?
Facing Qiao Zhenhai's gaze, Su Heng didn't beat around the bush and directly said: "Regarding NTM-1B, it is different from Yanhuang. It is not an airship..."
"??" Qiao Zhenhai and others were stunned upon hearing Su Heng's words.
Then, all of a sudden, they snapped back to attention, "Not an aerospace battleship? Does that mean..."
An idea, uncontrollably, appeared in everyone's minds.
"Yes, as you have guessed, Qiao Old, it is a genuine spacecraft!"
Space battleship!!
Upon hearing this name, Qiao Zhenhai and others were shocked.
Although they had guessed earlier, the real impact of the name sent waves through their hearts.
Space!
It's a name that's both familiar and unfamiliar.
Since the discovery of the universe by humans, it has already been hundreds of years.
For hundreds of years, people have never stopped exploring the universe.
No, to be accurate, several hundred years ago, Longcun had already started exploring the stars. There is an ancient ruins in Longcun where a star map that recorded thousands of stars was discovered.
Unfortunately, these explorations of the stars did not form into a related system of technological literature...
But regardless, it is a fact that Longcun has a long-standing tradition of exploring the universe.
Before Su Heng, Longcun's spacecraft had already flown to the moon, making the initial close-up exploration of the nearest star to Blue Star.
And now, Su Heng is actually going to bring out a space battleship that can operate in the universe?
"NTM-1B, with a design mass of one million tons, it is equipped with a complete simulated ecosystem that can meet the survival needs of up to ten thousand people for one year and has the capability to navigate through space..."
"In terms of weapon system, I haven't designed weapons for the carrier aircraft and other equipment yet. The aircraft on board Yanhuang aerospace battleship are all kinds of planetary weapons, which are not applicable in space"
"The space weapons for NTM-1B need to be redesigned and planned. As for the shipborne weapons, the shipborne weapons on NTM-1B are an upgrade based on the first-generation Nan Tian Men aerospace battleship."
"In addition to basic small-sized electromagnetic guns and laser pulse cannons for defensive weapons, NTM-1B will also carry seven JM-13D laser pulse cannons as secondary weapons!"
"Compared to the high-energy laser pulse cannon main gun JM-13C on the first-generation Nan Tian Men aerospace battleship, the JM-13D has greater power, with the maximum effective range increased to one hundred thousand kilometers..."
"In addition to the JM-13D, according to my plan, NTM-1B will also install a more powerful main gun. There are four preselected plans for this main gun: phase weapons, gravity weapons, high-energy particle weapons, and atomic weapons. Which one to choose has not been determined yet. There are still technical problems to be solved, and I am still studying..."
"As for the electromagnetic gun main gun, unlike the first-generation Nan Tian Men aerospace battleship, NTM-1B's electromagnetic gun main gun has not been upgraded. In space, the limitations of electromagnetic guns as kinetic weapons are too great, especially in terms of speed, which is a fatal weakness. I'm even considering whether to cancel the electromagnetic gun..."
The speed of electromagnetic guns is undoubtedly astonishing on the Blue Star.
Speeds of several to even dozens or hundreds of times the speed of sound are astonishing.
But this speed is simply not enough when compared to the speed in space.
Let alone speeds of several to dozens of Mach, even at hundreds of Mach, what can you do in space?
One hundred Mach is only 34,000 kilometers per second.
That's 34 kilometers per second!
Is that fast?
Extremely fast!
To escape the Sun's gravity, the third cosmic velocity is only 16.7 kilometers per second.
34 kilometers is more than double 16.7!
But the speed of light is 300,000 kilometers per second!
The difference between 34 kilometers and 300,000 kilometers is something that even primary school students can understand.
In the universe, just take the distance between the Blue Star and the Moon as an example; that distance is nearly 400,000 kilometers!
400,000 kilometers is how long an electromagnetic gun bullet can fly in the universe.
At a speed of 100 Mach, 34 kilometers per second, it would take over three hours to travel 400,000 kilometers!
By the time you get there after over three hours, the dish would have gone cold!
And laser, it only takes over a minute to travel this distance!
To make the electromagnetic gun faster, we need to find ways to increase its power and kinetic energy.
Su Heng is not incapable of doing this, but the cost-benefit ratio is extremely low, and the difficulty of accelerating a solid shell to the speed of light is almost like climbing to heaven...
Even if Su Heng, he can't guarantee that he can do all of this now, at least not now.
That's why Su Heng has had the idea of giving up space kinetic weapons...
"Besides the weapons, due to the high mass of NTM-1B, considering the cost factors, NTM-1B does not have the capability to navigate within planets. Therefore, the construction of NTM-1B can only be carried out in space."
"After a pause, Su Heng continued: 'Currently, I don't agree with putting NTM-1B on the construction plan yet. After all, our space port has not been fully completed, and the construction cost of NTM-1B is too high. Compared to its strategic value, it is relatively small, and it does not match our short-term interests for the time being...'"
Upon hearing this, Qin Shantian and others were also in deep thought.
NTM-1B has a mass of one million tons, a number that is completely out of their imagination.
They can also understand the reason why this thing cannot enter planets as explained by Su Heng.
They are not scientists and have only a basic understanding of science, but they are also aware of a common sense that heavier objects are harder to lift off the ground.
Su Heng can make the Yanhuang, which weighs three hundred thousand tons, fly, which is already considered to be a god-like black technology!
One million tons of NTM-1B being able to take off in a planet is a scene they dare not even imagine.
Even if it could take off, what would the cost be to an absurd degree?
Ignoring the cost, what kind of powerful propulsion system would be needed to provide sufficient energy support for such a massive anti-gravity system?
Regarding the issue of construction plan...
Qian Zhizhong and others exchanged glances with each other, all implicitly agreeing with Su Heng's viewpoint.
If according to what Su Heng said, there is indeed no need for the construction of NTM-1B at present.
Even if money is not an issue, at least we should wait until the space port is completed...
Thinking of this, Qin Shan shook his head and said:
"Since it is like this, then let's put NTM-1B on hold temporarily. After all, you, Xiao Su, haven't finished the overall research on NTM-1B yet. You can also take your time to study it during the construction of [Yanhuang]."
"If there are more advanced technologies at that time, they can be replaced and upgraded at any time..."
Anytime for replacement and upgrade is something that would be impossible in other places.
After all, no matter what things are, research can be said to be precise.
Especially for some extremely expensive products, it is impossible to add something on the fly when suddenly thinking of something.
However, this is not the case with Su Heng. After all, Su Heng's research does not require the investment of a large amount of resources to produce a verification machine for practical verification.
Anything good can be added at any time, and anything bad can be replaced at any time.
As long as it has not been formally put into production, everything can be said to be zero cost, and there is no reason at all...
"All right, I'll study this slowly. I'll also arrange for [Yanhuang] as soon as possible. Senior Qin, you all should also get ready. The detailed plan documents will be ready at the latest within a month..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Shantian and others nodded slightly.
…………
Time flies like a white horse galloping across a gap.
In the blink of an eye, a month has quietly passed.
In the course of a month, the whole Blue Star was in a state of tranquility.
The Black and White Eagle Village, which once caused panic across the entire Blue Star, has now completely ceased any movement, merely retreating to their own homes to quietly lick their wounds.
The million-strong army and fleet have all been withdrawn.
Noteworthy is that among the one million troops, all others have returned to their respective homes.
The only exception is the soldiers from the Dongyin village, who were all taken back by the Black and White Eagle Village, and then there was no more news about them...
There are rumors on the dark web that the little bastards from the Dongyin village were sent to mines and farms, but there is no evidence to confirm this.
Similarly, the fleet of the Dongyin village was also coerced, bribed, or even forcibly disarmed. The small bastards from the fleet were also sent back to the Black and White Eagle Village. As for the warships, all of them were pulled by the Black and White Eagle Village to their own port.
When they reappeared, they had returned to the Dongyin village.
However, the people above had become the big shots of the Black and White Eagle Village instead of the little bastards of the Dongyin village...
And that was it, nobody knew what had happened in the Dongyin village.
The GPS network of the Dongyin village was completely shut down, even the underwater cables were cut, and the root server connecting to the village was directly dismantled...
Outside, there were some true and false messages about Dongyin village, but there was no more news from the village...
Even the East Asians from the Immigration Football Village or other villages, their voices on the network were gradually disappearing...
Unlike the Black and White Eagle Village, which was quietly licking its wounds, the Camel side had been bustling with activity during this period.
Countless teams were continuously rushing from the Camel Village to the Dragon Village, and orders, like snowflakes, appeared in the factories of various industries in the Dragon Village.
The managers of numerous enterprises in the Dragon Village had their mouths wide open.
Not only the Camels, but also the Polar Bears are the same.
After reaching a strategic cooperation agreement with the Dragon Village, the Polar Bear Village is not only transporting various mineral resources to the Dragon Village every day, but also opening up the ice sheet and inviting the Dragon Village to invest heavily in it!
At the same time, a variety of policies have been implemented to support its development.
For a time, countless merchants and goods from the Dragon Village surged into the Polar Bear Village.
One by one, roads and railways were bustling with traffic, day and night without stopping!
The four northern states of the Dragon Village, which had gradually declined, were once again bustling...
At the same time, the cooperation between the Dragon Village and the Tower, Three Virtues Village also officially began.
Su Heng's new energy vehicles, magnetic levitation flying cars, and so on, have also entered the promotion stage.
Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
One month later, a figure of Su Heng suddenly appeared in the northwest desert.
