I, the super rich crown prince, will build the richest country

"Your Highness, this is the drawing we re-optimized based on the drawings and requirements you provided. Please take a look."

Zhou Haiyang placed a warship design drawing in front of Xiao Yunhai and unfolded it.

A beautiful small warship appeared in front of him.

It looks very beautiful.

It inherited the elements of the Mao Xiong 22160 light frigate and the Lion City Independence-class coastal mission ship that he had given before.

"This newly designed warship is 94 meters long and 15.3 meters wide, with a full load displacement of no more than 1,600 tons. The ship adopts stealth modular upgrades, including the mast.

The weapon configuration is a 76mm main gun at the bow, and a vertical launch system is added at the back, which can launch 12 anti-aircraft missiles.

Two 30mm automatic machine guns are installed on both sides of the top of the ship's command cabin.

In the middle area of ​​the ship, inclined YJ-83 anti-ship missiles are installed, which can launch 8 missiles, and a 12.7mm remote-controlled machine gun is installed on the left and right sides.

24 jamming devices are added to the tail.

A Black Hawk general-purpose helicopter can be docked in the tail area.

Using two diesel engines, the maximum speed can reach 28 knots, which can meet the needs of low-intensity conflict warfare. We call it a multi-mission combat ship."

Xiao Yunhai looked at the drawings in front of him and nodded slightly.

Xinhan is a small country, which means that warships are multi-purpose, that is, they have anti-submarine, air defense, anti-ship and other tasks.

He is still very satisfied with the design of this warship in front of him.

The air defense capability is not weak, with both vertical launch systems, short-range anti-aircraft guns and remote-controlled machine guns, and it can also perform anti-ship tasks. This type of warship is very suitable for Xinhan.

After all, the construction direction of the Xinhan Navy is mainly based on protection, and it is not like the "013" five permanent members to compete for world hegemony.

A small horse carrying a huge cannon, such a warship, Xiao Yunhai thinks it is suitable.

As for the weapons on the design drawings, they were all provided by Xiao Yunhai to Zhou Haiyang before, and there is no need to buy them directly from abroad, just buy them directly from the system.

Take the YJ-83 anti-ship missile as an example, it can be said to be a copy.

After all, Xinhan previously purchased the 0-22 missile boat, which was equipped with the export version of the YJ-83 anti-ship missile.

It's just reverse research.

When Longguo bought fighters and submarines from Russia, didn’t it also absorb the technology of these fighters and submarines and conduct reverse research?

So, this excuse is completely acceptable.

Besides, they are used by themselves and not sold to others. Who knows if they are exactly the same?

“Is it technically difficult?” Xiao Yunhai asked.

Hearing this, Zhou Haiyang said: “Your Highness, it is not difficult to build a ship with blueprints. The main thing is that the weapons and electronic equipment on it, such as active phased array radars, require professional technicians to install them, and gas turbines are also needed.”

“Well, I will find a way to solve the problems of weapons, power, and electronic equipment. You will be responsible for construction.That's all."

"In addition, you need to make a list of the equipment you need according to the design on the drawing, and I'll take care of it." Xiao Yunhai thought for a while and said.

"Yes!"

The next day.

Xiao Yunhai received the list sent by Zhou Haiyang.

A lot.

No rush to buy.

After the navy confirms that it wants this warship, it will not be too late to purchase parts.

In order to advance this project as soon as possible.

Xiao Yunhai gathered senior naval generals together for a meeting, took out the design drawings of this multi-mission combat ship called "Yingyu Class", and asked Zhou Haiyang to explain the design concept and this to everyone. What are the advantages of this type of warship?

All the naval generals drooled as they looked at the design drawings on the big screen.

At this moment, the Russian 22160 light frigate and the Lion City Independence-class coastal mission ship have not yet appeared. It is estimated that they have not considered this project, let alone designed it.

So, everyone was shocked when they saw the design drawings.

The appearance is simple and shows the ship design.

"Your Highness, I... our shipyard can build such a warship?"

Wang Wenyuan, deputy commander of the navy, swallowed his saliva and looked at Xiao Yunhai in disbelief. In the past, he couldn't even build a missile boat of several hundred tons, but now he can build such a thousand-ton warship?

Not only Wang Wenyuan was shocked, but the other generals of the navy were also shocked.

"Let Chief Engineer Zhou answer this question for everyone. He is the promoter of this project. ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at Zhou Haiyang.

The naval generals were actually very unfamiliar with this person who suddenly appeared and was promoted to the head of Wanghai Shipyard. They didn't know his background. They only knew that he was favored by his own prince and had a bright future.

Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Zhou Haiyang smiled and said, "I know everyone is shocked that the shipyard suddenly has the ability to build a thousand-ton warship. In fact, if you think about it carefully, it's not surprising. Several of the warships we purchased from Longguo are being built at Wanghai Shipyard. In order to meet the construction capacity, we have purchased large gantry cranes and docks before.

Let alone a thousand-ton warship, even a few thousand-ton warship has the ability to build a ship.

The reason why it couldn't be built before was largely due to the lack of technical equipment and shipboard weapons. Now that this has been solved, it is a natural thing to build a thousand-ton warship. ”

Everyone heard that this was the truth.

With the help of Longguo, Wanghai Shipyard is now building an amphibious assault ship of more than 20,000 tons.

With this ability, it seems not difficult to understand that a 1,000-ton multi-purpose combat ship can be built.

The only problem is whether the problem of weapons on the ship can be solved.

In response to this problem, Xiao Yunhai explained: "I will solve the problem of weapons. You don't need to worry about this problem. What you are concerned about is whether this warship is suitable for your current needs. This is what you need to consider.”

With Xiao Yunhai’s words, everyone stopped worrying about how to solve the problem of weapons.

Instead, they looked at the various parameters listed on the design drawing.

“I personally think that this warship is both offensive and defensive and is very suitable for our current needs. It can be used to strengthen coastal defense forces. In low-intensity conflicts, it can be competent independently without the need for Kunpeng-class destroyers to take action.”

A naval general said.

The so-called "Kunpeng-class" destroyers are 10 destroyers ordered from Longguo. They are slightly inferior to the future Zero 52D destroyers, with a full load displacement of nearly 7,000 tons.

The reason why they are inferior is that the export weapon models are weakened versions with a much reduced range.

“I also agree with Lao Li that building these thousand-ton multi-mission combat ships will enable us to deal with increasingly complex maritime disputes.”

“I say, you guys, why are you talking so much nonsense? Whether it is suitable or not depends on the cost of the warship. If it is too expensive, it will be meaningless. After all, in terms of firepower, it is mediocre.

For example, if this warship costs $200 million or $300 million, then I think it is better to spend more money and increase the order of Kunpeng-class destroyers.

If the cost of this warship does not exceed $150 million, I think it can be equipped.

And it is best to equip it on a large scale.

It would be best if 20-30 ships can be equipped.

This will quickly increase the size of our fleet and protect our sea areas. ”

The speaker is Liang Anguo, Chief of Staff of the Navy.

Everyone nodded and agreed with his statement.

"Lao Liang is right, Chief Engineer Zhou, what is the final cost of this warship you designed? "Wang Wenyuan asked.

"This..."

Zhou Haiyang looked embarrassed. After all, he didn't know the purchase price of electronic equipment and weapons.

Seeing his embarrassment, Xiao Yunhai helped him out: "Just budget the construction cost. The purchase of weapons doesn't need to be included."

Hearing this, Zhou Haiyang breathed a sigh of relief: "Not counting weapons, electronic equipment and power, the cost of shipbuilding is about 832 billion Chinese Yuan, which is about 32 million US dollars at the current exchange rate."

This price is not cheap. (To read the novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

It's just an empty shell.

Under normal circumstances, with weapons, power, radar, etc., the cost will definitely exceed 100 million US dollars.

For example, two gas turbines alone will cost more than 10 million US dollars.

"Mr. Zhou, this price is a bit expensive. If all the equipment is installed according to the design drawings, the cost will probably go straight to 200 million US dollars. ”

“That’s right, if it’s $200 million per ship, Your Highness, I think it’s better to buy more Kunpeng-class destroyers from Longguo.”[]

Everyone was dissatisfied.

They thought the price was too high.

The cost performance was not high.

In their opinion, it would be better to order more destroyers or buy several hundred tons of missile boats from Longguo than to buy this.

XiaoYunhai frowned. He could understand the navy's idea.

They just wanted to buy ships with better cost performance.

However, for Xiao Yunhai, building a thousand-ton warship by himself was more about improving the independent national defense capabilities of Xinhan.

After all, when the relationship is good, they are brothers. Once there is a conflict of interest, it will be difficult to purchase again.

Raising his hand to interrupt the discussion, Xiao Yunhai looked serious, his eyes swept through the many naval generals in the conference room, and said in a deep voice: "I understand your thoughts, but you must know that no matter how good other people's things are, they are not as convenient as our own things...

As for the cost issue you are worried about, I can say responsibly that the final cost will not exceed 120 million US dollars."

"In addition, in order to support the development of Wanghai Shipyard, I suggest that the navy can consider placing an order with the shipyard for 20 ships, and the delivery and payment will be divided into three years."

As he said, his eyes turned to Zhou Haiyang: "Your shipyard should prepare to deliver 20 ships in three years."

Zhou Haiyang nodded when he heard it, indicating that he knew it.

Everyone saw that Xiao Yunhai had made the decision and guaranteed that the cost would not exceed 120 million US dollars per ship, so they didn't say much.

The cost of 120 million per ship is also cost-effective to buy such a multi-mission combat ship.

After all, it has anti-submarine, anti-ship and air defense capabilities.

After the matter was finalized, the subsequent contract signing and naval docking were handed over to Zhou Haiyang.

Xiao Yunhai purchased these 20 warships in the system, including the required gas turbines, YJ-83 anti-ship missiles, H-10 air defense missiles, vertical launch systems, meter-wave radars, X-band search radars to S-band wide-area search radars and other equipment. The models basically use the radar system of the future Dragon Country.

Previously, the purchases were all Dragon Country warships, so the subsequent weapons and equipment should be of a system to avoid confusion in the combat system.

In addition, Dragon Country is a rising star in radar, and in the field of phased array radars, it has the potential to surpass the United States.

After one set, more than 70 million points were consumed.

20 sets cost about 1.5 billion points.

Fortunately, 2 billion points were awarded for completing the system novice task before.

After the purchase, it was not immediately handed over to Zhou Haiyang. It would not be too late to hand it over when the equipment is needed.

Time flies, and it is May in a flash.

The whole Xinhan is full of vitality and prosperity.

A large number of companies have come to Xinhan to invest, including some tire companies, such as Hankook and Chengshin Tire.

Even ZF has opened a branch in Xinhan, which is more of a sales company than a branch.

Thanks to the economic cooperation between Long and Han, some Longguo companies have also invested in Xinhan, such as companies producing electric motorcycles.

In order to further attract overseas capital to invest in Xinhan, the Xinhan government announced tax incentives for four major areas, including electronic semiconductor industry, automobiles, motorcycles, and medical devices.policy, reducing the tax rate to 15%, a decrease of 5 percentage points.

In addition, the low tariff advantage of Xinhan and Longguo has increased the attractiveness of Xinhan to overseas capital.

The arrival of these companies has further increased the number of local jobs in Xinhan, and even caused a labor shortage. If workers cannot be found, the only way is to increase salaries.

And the high salary has also attracted Chinese from Taiwan, mainland Longguo, and Southeast Asia to come to Xinhan to work.

These people bring food, drink, defecation, and urination, which has driven Xinhan's clothing, food, housing, and transportation.

In short, the entire Xinhan country is full of vitality.

Just like Longguo in the early 1990s, it was developing vigorously.

Qilin Company.

Recently, the company has been busy.

Seeing the product launch conference coming, the company is making final preparations.

As the first product of Qilin Company, everyone is looking forward to the mobile phone launched by their own company to be a hit.

"Have all the invitations been sent out?"

Office.

Wei Mingzhi asked his secretary.

"The media invitations have been sent out. The United States, the United States, and well-known overseas media have all sent invitations. I'm just worried that they may not send anyone."

The secretary expressed his concerns.

After all, Kirin had no products before. Why would an unknown company come to your press conference?

Apple is different. It has been established for decades and is one of the representatives of global technology companies. Moreover, its founder Steve Jobs is a household name in the United States.

"It's okay. Just send it out. It's their loss if they don't come."

Wei Mingzhi didn't care.

The reason for the large-scale invitations is nothing more than expanding the popularity in advance, so that it is easier to enter the overseas market later.

It would be best if they could come.

It's okay if they don't come.

At worst, they can spend money on marketing in the future.

"Just wait and see. Today they look down on us, but one day they will beg us for an interview."

Wei Mingzhi said confidently.

He is confident that Kirin's first mobile phone will surely shock the industry and even the global technology community.
