I just want to deliver express, but you insist on recruiting me?

Chapter 27 I Have It, You Don't

"What's going to explode? It definitely can't explode."

Chen Chen was far away and could not hear anything.

He thought that these people would do anything to bargain.

Is this the beginning of rumors?
This routine is very common in the vegetable market.

"Boss, how much is a pound of leeks?"

"One dollar and eight cents."

"Cheaper, they are all wilted and have a lot of dirt."

"Will you buy it or not? Don't pick it!"

But Chen Chen was not buying leeks, he wanted to cut them, so he couldn't be so tough.

"Deputy Director Shen...right?"

Zhang Mingrui shook his head: "I remembered it wrong, my last name is Zhang."

Chen Chen turned to Shen Qingliang: "Deputy Director Zhang, listen to me."

"My last name is Shen!"

"You don't want to eat, and you think the price is too high. I'm sorry, but I can make up for it in other ways."

"???"

What this means is, can it still be cheaper?

The price is already very low now, how can we make up for it?

Will I get a lifetime Shunfeng membership when I buy an airplane?

Lin Xiao then realized that he had not reached Chen Chen's bottom line, so he prepared to test it and have a dance at his bottom line.

That cold expression appeared on Lin Xiao's face again.

“We do have concerns about price.”

Chen Chen said: "I think everyone who has flown a plane knows this."

“Aircraft maintenance is also a big expense.”

"I won't talk about anything else, just the F22 you were talking about, every time it flies, the stealth coating needs to be replaced."

"am I right?"

Looking at Chen Chen's burning gaze, the experts were speechless.

And you said you don’t know how to use it for military purposes?
You can tell me the specific performance of f22 just by talking about it.

Such in-depth details!
Chen Chen continued: "So we put a lot of effort into the maintenance of the double-tailed scorpion. The double-tailed scorpion uses heavy oil, which is cheap and durable."

“Oh… God!”

Because it was a public occasion and the leaders were present.

Some experts are reluctant to swear.

But their mouth shape is clearly a C.

Heavy oil has a higher specific gravity and calorific value, so it can hold more of it in the same tank. It also has a higher ignition point, is less likely to explode, and is more stable.

But the problem is that the aircraft burns heavy fuel, which places extremely high demands on engine technology.

For the Scorpion, using a piston ring engine to burn heavy oil is essentially a technological breakthrough.

Zhang Mingrui couldn't believe his ears: "Are you sure you said it right? Heavy oil?"

"Yeah, don't you in the Air Force burn this?"

"No...we...won't..."

Mainstream fighter jets all use aviation light kerosene.

Anyone can do the math on this.

The price of heavy aviation fuel is half that of light kerosene.

Purchasing an aircraft costs money, but the real big expense comes in maintenance.

This could save a lot of money!

It's like driving a Ferrari and adding 92 liters.

Zhang Mingrui couldn't understand what was going on in Chen Chen's little head.

What does this look like?

Only in this way can the cost be reduced to the extreme.

The Equipment Demonstration Department is one of the overall controllers of the entire military's equipment.

Zhang Mingrui knows the equipment development process too well.

At the beginning, no matter what project it was, the cost could not be controlled, and we always wanted to get it done first.

This results in high equipment prices.

Even when the finished product is developed, there will be certain difficulties in equipping the troops.

For some types of equipment, maintenance costs are greater than research and development costs.

It has to be optimized or even started over again.

This back and forth wastes resources and harms the smokers' lungs.

During this trip to Qianjiang, in addition to seeing the double-tailed scorpion project, Zhang Mingrui felt that he had gained more valuable experience.

Due to the nature of private enterprises that focus on efficiency, they put cost control first from the beginning.

In a way, this methodology seems to be more profound than the project itself.

Looking at the plane in front of him, Zhang Mingrui couldn't love it enough.

I wanted to call a tow truck to tow it to the Air Force Equipment Department immediately and call on the entire army to learn and visit.

He turned around to seek Lin Xiao's opinion: "Commander Lin, do you think we should..."

Halfway through the sentence.

Zhang Mingrui noticed that Lin Xiao's mind seemed to be completely off track. He folded his arms with empty eyes, as if he was wandering somewhere.

"Commander Lin?"

Chen Chen: "Did you have a cerebral hemorrhage?"

Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes and glared at him: "It's almost time. I can't get better with you around."

"I was just thinking about a question."

"What?" Zhang Mingrui understood that Commander Lin had begun to consider the tactical use of this aircraft.

Technology is one aspect, which Zhang Mingrui is responsible for.

But this plane has 200w power and burns heavy fuel.

What else can we find fault with the technology?
Apart from technology, the only thing left is tactics.

The practicality and tactical performance of an aircraft requires a battle-hardened general to evaluate.

Lin Xiao has been in the military for thirty years, and the first twenty-eight years have been in the Air Force.

No one was better qualified to assess the aircraft from a tactical standpoint.

He pinched his chin and said in a deep voice: "To be honest, I have been deserting since the voyage."

"He said the voyage is two thousand kilometers, and where we are standing now is exactly two thousand kilometers away from the island country."

!!!

Lin Xiao's words completely pulled everyone's thoughts back from the technical level and into a new level.

Everyone in uniform understood it immediately, especially the air force commanders.

This isn't even a question of tactics anymore, it's strategy!

If this thing is equipped with missiles, it can easily carry out strategic strikes.

When Cao Zihua heard this, he thought that he finally had room to display his talents.

These generals may be old and their brains are not so quick.

There was one problem they had overlooked.

He immediately raised his hand and said, "I have something to say."

"This is not a college class, just speak your mind."

"For express delivery, the flight distance is 2,000, but you are flying to another country, so the flight distance must be discounted, otherwise you won't be able to come back."

This is a simple arithmetic problem.

If delivering express, the plane can land at the airport for resupply after 2,000 kilometers.

But if you want to send other things, airports in other countries will not let you land for supplies.

So 2000 becomes 1000, which is a round trip.

There was a sly look in Lin Xiao's eyes: "Who said I'm coming back?"

Chen Chen understood immediately: "You are really shrewd... I mean you have foresight!"

"Just say you are shrewd and cunning. As the commander of the army, I will take it as a compliment."

Lin Xiao turned around and continued to explain to Zhang Mingrui.

"The Double-Tailed Scorpion is cheap and doesn't have a pilot yet, so it doesn't matter if it can't fly back."

"Just now I said that the aircraft has eight hardpoints and can add eight missiles."

"Nine, actually."

"The plane itself is also a warhead."

In a word.

Those highly skilled experts instantly became cheerful, as if they had drunk some bowel-clearing tea.

At the flying speed of the Twin-Tailed Scorpion, the aircraft itself is a warhead.

It’s cheap anyway!

After flying 2,000 kilometers and using up all its own missiles, it can still throw the aircraft body out as a missile.

"As you all know, some high-end missiles cost more than this aircraft."

"At this price, the production line is running at full capacity."

"We can fly dozens of them a day, and they can also split into mother and daughter aircraft."

"Just throw it for fun."

"I originally wanted to equip it with the Air Force. With this calculation, it can even serve as a rocket force."

The generals became more and more excited as they talked.

Discussions have even begun on the specific weapon adaptation types on the missiles.

Only the executives of Shunfeng were standing there blankly in the corner.

We should be under the car, not inside it.

What’s going on?

There are four words "Shunfeng Express" painted on the plane, can't you see them?
We were like clowns, unable to say a word.

Shen Xin was also confused and took a few quick steps to come in front of Lin Xiao.

"Commander Lin, why are they already in service? This is a courier plane. We got it by the wind! Don't you have a similar plane?"

Lin Xiao then remembered that Shunfeng’s people were still there, and he responded very sincerely.

"We didn't have it before, but now we have it and you don't."

"..."

Chen Chen was scratching 666 on the side.

Such words must be spoken by someone who carries the stars on his shoulders, in order to convince others with reason.

I felt sorry for Shen Xin for half a second.
