Chapter 249: Beyond Visual Range Strike

He thought in his heart, even if the production cost is relatively high, it is impossible to ask for 40 or [-] yuan. If it is really so high, the price of each missile will be unaffordable for the military.

"Mr. Ning, what is the manufacturing cost of each missile!"

He cares too much, wants to know too much!

Ning Yuanxian could only sigh softly, looking very helpless, this matter cannot be concealed, so he could only truthfully say, "According to our preliminary calculations, the production cost of each missile is at least 10,000+, It is also possible to reach and exceed 50."

what!
Xie Kangquan trembled with fright, the phone in his hand almost fell to the ground.

He thought about it more than once, and raised the cost again and again, and even imagined that the manufacturing cost of each missile might reach 30.

After all, this is the world's most advanced anti-tank missile. You get what you pay for. Since it is so advanced, it is normal for it to be expensive.

It’s just that the cost of 50 to 60 yuan per piece is still intimidated. It’s so expensive, the military’s order price may be 10,000, or even [-]+.

Too high and too scary.

After a long time, Xie Kangquan said in a very disappointed voice, "Well, I see."

Putting down the phone, he sat blankly on the office chair for a long time, and it took him a long time to come to his senses. Then, with a glimmer of hope in his heart, he dialed another number.

A total of three companies produced this type of air-to-surface anti-tank missile, and Xie Kangquan dialed the phone number of the leader of another missile manufacturer.

First, I asked about the manufacturing progress of the missiles, and then asked, "Mr. Shen, have you calculated the production cost of each missile?"

"Director Xie, we have only made preliminary estimates, and the data may not be accurate."

Even if it is not accurate, Xie Kangquan would like to hear it. In addition to the manufacturing process, the manufacturing cost of missiles is really important.

"It doesn't matter, let's talk about the reference data, let us have a rough idea in our hearts."

"Then I said so."

Xie Kang said, "Speak."

"Director Xie, according to our preliminary estimates, the manufacturing cost of each missile should be more than 55, maybe close to 60."

Xie Kangquan couldn't listen anymore. The figures of 60 to [-] hit him hard, and he was completely stunned. He didn't know what the other party said behind him. He didn't even hear the voice of "Hello, hello" on the phone. react to.

I don't know how long it took, Xie Kangquan sat on the chair powerlessly, his eyes were blank, he didn't know what he was thinking.

After designing such an advanced air-to-ground anti-tank missile, he was so excited. Now, the blow is too great.

Such a high manufacturing cost is almost unbearable!

After a long time, Xie Kangquan picked up the phone again to call Leihuo Technology Industrial Group, but after thinking about it, he put it down.

The manufacturing costs of the two old missile manufacturing companies are so high, maybe Leihuo Technology Industry Group will be even higher, after all, it is the first time for them to manufacture missiles, and they are far inferior to these two companies in terms of manufacturing experience.

Forget it, count the bird!
He was a little disheartened, and he was already thinking about how to report it in his mind. If he really reported it like this, the leaders would probably not be in a good mood and would be more disappointed.

Alas, let’s wait a little longer. After the test firing verification, if this missile performs really well and the manufacturing cost is a little higher, it is estimated that the leaders will accept it better.

The next day, Lin Feng called.

"Director Xie, I have something to report to you about this missile."

Xie Kangquan was disheartened, he could hardly arouse any interest, and said flatly, "Boss Lin, tell me, I'm listening."

Lin Feng was taken aback for a moment, there was something wrong with his tone, and the feeling of frustration could be felt through the phone. Could it be that something hit Director Xie hard.

However, this kind of speculation just flashed through Lin Feng's mind. He didn't think about it deeply, nor asked, but said, "Our first batch of 16 missiles have all been put into storage. The second batch of missiles It will all be in storage in about a week as well."

what!
Your efficiency is so high, the first batch of missiles have already been put into storage!
not bad.

Xie Kangquan finally raised a little bit of interest, "Mr. Lin, I didn't expect that your speed is the fastest, and the first batch of missiles is actually qualified for storage like this."

Lin Feng smiled proudly, "There are three missile manufacturing companies in total, and our speed should be the fastest. I can't wait to see the results of the test firing verification."

Xie Kang said, "I'll make arrangements for the test firing verification. You just need to wait for my call."

"Director Xie, I'll trouble you then." Lin Feng changed the topic, "In addition to the manufacturing process of the missile, I also want to tell you about the manufacturing cost of this missile."

Why did he take the initiative to raise the production cost of the missile, because Lin Feng knew that for consumables such as anti-tank missiles, in addition to excellent performance, the production cost is also very important.

In other words, everyone hopes that such missiles are of high quality and low price. It is best to have advanced overall performance compared to the American Hellfire anti-tank missile, and the price should be cheaper than the Hellfire missile, and the cheaper the better.

When it came to the production cost of the missile, Xie Kangquan was not very interested, nor did he have any hope, "Boss Lin, tell me."

Lin Feng said, "We have made preliminary calculations on the manufacturing cost of the missiles, and each missile is about [-] to [-]."

stunned!
Xie Kangquan thought his ears had heard it wrong, and said loudly, "What, it's only [-] to [-] yuan, is your cost calculation accurate?"

Lin Feng said, "It should be relatively accurate, with a deviation of at most [-] to [-]."

In fact, Lin Feng did not tell the truth, but slightly increased the calculated manufacturing cost. A missile should only cost [-] to [-] yuan, but it has been increased to [-] to [-] yuan. Of course, it may cost [-] to [-] yuan. deviation.

Xie Kangquan thought that the deviation of 19 to 20 was an upper deviation. If [-] to [-] were added to [-] to [-], it would be [-] to [-], up to [-], and the cost of [-] would not even be worth it.

This is wow!

Never expected that the manufacturing cost of Leihuo Technology Industry Group is so low, even less than 20.

Director Xie was pleasantly surprised and excited! ! !
His tone was obviously different, and his excitement could be felt from more than 1000 kilometers away, "Mr. Lin, that's great. This is the most exciting news I've heard, and I will report it immediately."

After answering the phone call, Xie Kangquan's spirit was completely different. He was refreshed and walked out of the office vigorously, ready to report immediately.

Two days later.

The first batch of 16 missiles manufactured by Leihuo Technology Industry Group was transported away by the military, ready for test firing.

The first batch of missiles manufactured by Leihuo Technology Industry Group is about to be tested and verified. The news will soon be known by the other two missile companies. In the same system, this kind of news cannot be concealed, and no one will to hide.

in the office.

Ning Yuanxian, Jin Yucheng and several other high-level officials were there, chatting about the upcoming missile test verification.

"The first batch of missiles manufactured by Leihuo Technology Industrial Group will soon be tested and verified. In terms of progress, it has completely moved ahead of us."

Jin Yucheng said, "We are not slow, the first batch of missiles will soon be put into storage."

"I don't know how much the missile manufacturing cost of Leihuo Technology Industry Group is. I hope it is similar to ours."

"I think the manufacturing cost may be higher than ours, because they are producing missiles for the first time, and their manufacturing experience is far inferior to ours."

"I hope so."

"."

While chatting about the cost of missile production, the phone on the desk rang, and it was Xie Kangquan calling again.

"Mr. Ning, when will your first batch of missiles be put into storage? The first batch of 16 missiles from Leihuo Technology and Industry Group will be tested and verified soon."

Ning Yuanxian replied, "We are not too slow. In two or three days, the first batch of missiles will be put into storage, and we can start test firing verification."

After the two chatted on the phone for a few words, Ning Yuanxian asked casually, "Director Xie, Leihuo Technology Industrial Group's missile production cost should have been preliminarily calculated, can you disclose it conveniently?"

In fact, he thought in his heart that it would only be higher than himself, how much higher, this is what he wanted to know, and even thought in his heart, don't reach the cost of 70 or [-], if that is the case, it would be too scary.

Facing the questioning, Xie Kangquan did not hide anything, and seemed very happy, "Leihuo Technology Industry Group's missile production cost has been calculated, and the cost of each missile is only about [-] to [-]."

what!
Ning Yuanxian was stunned, and after realizing it, he asked in surprise, "Really, is it really only [-] or [-]!"

Xie Kangquan replied affirmatively, "It's true that it only costs [-] to [-] yuan, and even if there is a slight deviation, it is only [-] to [-] yuan at most."

Immediately, Ning Yuanxian felt uncomfortable.

I also regret it a little bit, why do I have such a cheap mouth, why do I ask this, isn't this embarrassing myself, it's okay now, it will probably be more uncomfortable in the next few months.

When Ning Yuanxian put down the phone, he probably noticed something wrong with his expression, Jin Yucheng asked, "President Ning, what's wrong?"

Ning Yuanxian smiled bitterly, "Did you know that the missile production cost of Leihuo Technology Industry Group is only [-] to [-]."

Immediately, everyone in the office was surprised, and they all showed expressions of disbelief.

why?

Why is Leihuo Technology Industry Group's missile production cost so low! ! !

In fact, the reason is very simple.

First, the process provided by the system is used throughout the manufacturing process, which not only has high production efficiency, but also has extremely low manufacturing costs.

Second, almost all components are manufactured by Leihuo Technology Industrial Group, including all key components, and only a small amount of electronic components are purchased.

Key components such as missile seekers, missile digital autopilots, missile gyroscopes, etc. are [-]% self-manufactured, and the cost is of course low.

But Ning Yuanxian and the others don't know for the time being that their manufacturing process still follows the traditional old process, and many parts are even imported, so the manufacturing cost is of course high.

In the hinterland of the Northwest, a certain military base.

The missile test was carried out here. In the conference room, several commanders were discussing the test plan. Besides them, there were also Luo Pingfan and others, as well as several designers from Leihuo Technology Industrial Group.

A military commander said, "I think it is a bit risky to set the distance at eight kilometers. Can we set the distance at six kilometers, or even five kilometers?"

Another military personnel agreed, "Yes, such a long distance is completely beyond the visual range strike, we have never hit such a long distance."

The test launch plan has been determined, and the preparations are well underway, but the test launch distance is now in dispute.

A total of [-] missiles are ready to be loaded on a new domestic armed helicopter for test firing.It is indeed an air-to-ground anti-tank missile designed and developed by the system. It has excellent versatility. It can not only be used on other missile launchers, but also can be seamlessly connected with new domestic armed helicopters. Future medium-sized armed helicopters can also use this model missiles.

Discussions were fruitless.

A commander asked, "Mr. Luo, what's your opinion?"

He is the chief designer of this type of missile, and his opinion is very important.

Luo Pingfan did not answer directly, but asked, "What is the maximum scanning radius of our armed helicopter fire control radar?"

Someone immediately replied, "The maximum scanning radius is 8 kilometers, which is also the limit."

Because it is the limit, there is such a big controversy. Many people think that setting the strike distance to 8 kilometers is too risky.

How do you know, Luo Pingfan said, "I suggest setting it at 8 kilometers, and we will conduct a beyond-visual-range strike verification to test the superior performance of our missile."

"However, the risks involved are too great."

Luo Pingfan smiled and said confidently, "I believe our missile can hit the target accurately, because its guidance ability is very good. Once the target is locked, there is no need to care about it after launch, and there is no need for the continuous irradiation of the radar. It will find and attack the target by itself."

Is there really such a big batch?

In everyone's eyes, Luo Pingfan clicked confidently.

In fact, what is this, let alone 8 kilometers, there is no problem even if it is more than ten kilometers, that is, our helicopter has a limited scanning radius, otherwise what about an 18-kilometer beyond-the-horizon strike.

It is one of the characteristics of this missile that you don't need to worry about it after it is launched. It also greatly improves the strike efficiency and greatly improves the battlefield survivability of the armed helicopter.

Many missiles have to rely on radar to continuously illuminate the target after launch, otherwise, the missile may miss, or even fly to nowhere.

On the battlefield, if after the missile on the armed helicopter is launched, the radar of the helicopter has to illuminate the target until the missile hits the target, which is not only inefficient, troublesome, but also easy to be hit by the enemy.

Luo Pingfan said that the strike distance is set at 8 kilometers, so let’s set it at this distance. Some people are already prepared in their hearts that they will not hit.

On the tarmac of the base, a new domestic armed helicopter was making final preparations, and a total of 8 missiles were hung up one by one.

Why only hang 8 missiles instead of 16, or even 32, because this gunship has a limited bomb load and can only hang 8 missiles.

This is an air-to-ground anti-tank missile manufactured by Leihuo Technology Industry Group.

A total of 8 missiles were suspended. Not long after, the helicopter took off and flew towards the designated area. The radar was fully activated, searching for armored targets on the ground.

Found the target, 8 kilometers away!

After one of the pilots found that the missile was locked on the target, he pressed the launch button, and the helicopter hovered for two or three seconds before reacting. After the missile was launched, it was ignored at all, and it would guide and strike the target by itself.

After reacting, the armed helicopter flew away immediately, looking for the next target.

The missile roared out!

Go towards the goal! ! !

"boom!"

There was a loud noise, and it accurately hit a target eight kilometers away. Through the telescope, many people could see it clearly, and some people even wanted to shout out in excitement.

Eight kilometers!

Just hit it right!
Luo Pingfan was calm, this was just a small test, 8 kilometers is nothing, 18 kilometers is no problem, it can hit far, accurate, and powerful are the characteristics of this missile.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Within a few minutes, the missiles hit the target one after another, accurately, with a [-]% hit rate, without any mistakes!

This kind of achievement is simply impressive, especially as everyone has seen that after the armed helicopter launches the missile, it doesn't care at all and can fly away immediately, which is very powerful.

A total of 8 ground targets, all hit!

The power is also reflected, every armored target is smashed, far more powerful than ordinary anti-tank missiles.

In addition to striking ground armored targets from the air, a test launch was also carried out on a missile launch vehicle. This time the distance was set at 18 kilometers. The real over-the-horizon strike targeted a four-story brick-concrete structure.

After the missile was launched, it hit the target with the same accuracy, but the four-story building collapsed and turned into ruins. The missile is so powerful!
Because he was busy with the production of heavy-duty armed helicopters, Lin Feng stayed in Leihuo Technology Industrial Group and did not go to watch the test firing verification of missiles, but he received one call after another.

In addition to the technical director sent to that base, Lin Feng also received calls from Luo Pingfan and Xie Kangquan. To be honest, Lin Feng was not at all excluded from the excellent performance of this missile.

Even Lin Feng knew that if he wanted to truly reflect the performance of this missile, it had to be mounted on his heavy armed helicopter, because the avionics system and radar system of this heavy armed helicopter were world-class, and it could "see" better. It can lock the target and launch missiles from more than ten kilometers away.
