Chapter 61 Good goods are not cheap

Several bosses looked at each other, and immediately looked at each other and smiled. The bosses suddenly fell in love with this little doll. He has a good understanding, and he looks like a clever little ghost.

The boss who spoke just now immediately asked Gu Cheng: "Xiao Cheng, how much does this set of equipment cost? But let me tell you first, our army is very poor now, and it is incomparable with the rich sea and air. "

"Uh..." Gu Cheng scratched his head, but said bluntly: "The manufacturing cost of a single set of exoskeleton can only be controlled at about 20.8, and that doesn't count as tactical eyepieces."

Hearing this report, the bosses were all stunned. The senior officer who had just asked the question said with a look of surprise: "It's so expensive? It's more than 20 yuan not counting the tactical eyepiece. What about the tactical eyepiece?"

Gu Cheng said frankly: "7.5, the cost price."

Everyone was shocked again, a small tactical eyepiece is the most expensive?
However, after thinking about its effect on improving combat power, I was also relieved. The boss just now couldn't help but sighed: "It's a good thing, but it's a bit expensive. I still want to make it a regular stock, and have a set for everyone. , it seems that regularization is impossible.”

Even if the cost price is calculated, a set of exoskeleton plus tactical eyepieces exceeds 28, and there are more than 200 million domestic active troops. If every soldier is equipped with one set, it will cost 5000 billion yuan, and the country's annual military expenditure is only 1.6 trillion, which eats up one-third.

It's okay if it's just four to five hundred billion yuan, and it will be ready for regular use in three to five years, but this account can't be calculated like this.

The real money eaters are after-installation guarantee and maintenance expenses. Don’t think about it, the bosses know that this must be an astronomical sum. Among other things, first of all, the power consumption is an astronomical sum. This is not an account. It is a continuous consumable. The exoskeleton consumes electricity every time you put it on. The electricity bill for a set of exoskeletons may not be much, but the addition of more than 200 million sets is not a small amount.

What about maintenance?This could be even scarier!

The entire country spends countless places on military expenditures. It is obviously unrealistic for a set of new equipment here to eat up one-third of the total annual military expenditure.

And the most critical point is that if you can afford it, you can't afford it, and the more you buy, the greater the logistical pressure.

If the biggest criticism of high-tech equipment is what it is, it is expensive and unaffordable, and almost all high-tech equipment has this common problem.

It's a pity that it can't be quickly prepared, but it's not a pity too much. After all, this requirement is really high. In fact, it is the fear of insufficient firepower. Get used to it.

Over the next ten days, the test version of the individual mechanical exoskeleton underwent a series of tests, including confrontation exercises, with soldiers equipped with exoskeletons on one side and soldiers with current standard equipment on the other.

In the shooting part, through the HUD tactical eyepiece to assist shooting, the fighter with exoskeleton equipment ended in a winning posture.

It is worth mentioning that although there is an intelligent aiming system to assist the exoskeleton fighters in combat, there is still an upper limit to the efficiency of killing the enemy. It is only an exaggerated modification.

However, the efficiency of killing enemies has still achieved a qualitative leap. Comparing the fighters with HUD tactical eyepiece assistance and those without this auxiliary equipment, the former wins.However, if it is close combat within a hundred meters, the fighters with the help of HUD tactical eyepieces will never fail to hit the enemy. The combat exercise test so far has a 100% hit rate. At that time, the exoskeleton fighters had already killed six.

This was followed by a rapid cross-country march with heavy loads. Soldiers wearing exoskeletons completed a 120-kilometer cross-country within 80 minutes under a load of more than 40 kilograms, followed by tests on diverse terrains such as jungles, mountains, deserts, and underwater.

That's right, this set of exoskeleton equipment has the ability to fight underwater, including testing in extreme environments such as extreme high or low temperatures.

As time passed day by day, a series of test results came out one after another, and the degree of satisfaction was far beyond the military's expectations. It is no exaggeration to say that with the help of exoskeleton equipment, an ordinary soldier's combat effectiveness can be improved on the original basis. The explosion has increased by at least 7 times.

Perhaps, such an increase in combat power is not as abnormal as it seems, but what if it is enlarged to a group?What about the entire army?That's no ordinary toughness.

Gu Cheng stayed in this secret military base for about half a month before returning to Shangdu. At the same time, he brought back various test data collected for optimization. Stereotypes mean a lot.

However, the test is still going on. It is not uncommon for a new type of equipment to take several years or even ten years from research and development to installation. Tianqing Technology’s first-generation individual military exoskeleton has abnormal performance in all aspects. Powerful, but this year's troops will definitely not be able to enter the battle order.

The military still needs to make all-round careful consideration to ensure that they fully grasp the advantages and disadvantages of this new set of equipment and make a final trade-off. Therefore, Gu Cheng did not get an exact purchase order for the company during this trip, but it is not nothing, at least The military gave him an affirmative reply. This set of equipment must be purchased in large quantities, and it is only a matter of time.

In comparison, Gu Cheng is more looking forward to exporting the foreign trade version, which is where he can earn a lot of money, so he has high hopes for the next Zhuhai Air Show.

In fact, the military has not yet issued a final specific procurement plan, and Gu Cheng is also thinking about it. The military is probably waiting for this air show to see if there are local tyrants from the Middle East. Not far from ten.

Rabbit-bellied black ghosts are smart, I don’t want to install them on a large scale, but I want to make a technical castration version for export and let others use it first. There is still a qualitative gap between the exercise test and the actual combat. The place in the Middle East is always there. Fighting, proper new equipment is an excellent actual combat test site.

This approach is the most appropriate choice in the current era.

One sentence is over, I don't want to spend more money.

The current army really doesn’t have much military spending. Giving priority to the development of naval and air allies is the main style. It’s hard to get a little military spending, here and there, and everywhere. How to allocate military spending? Everyone is annoying.

Next, Gu Chengcheng waited for the approaching Zhu Hai Air Show.
