Chapter 236 I have a set of study materials
Compared to the conservative test on the first day, the Silver Crane on the second day really surprised everyone.
So after the test on that day, Cai Yaobin did not even visit the subsequent extreme tests, but went directly back to Yanjing to report the current test status of this aircraft to his direct superiors and brought back the latest needs of the military.
“We plan to purchase 30 basic models first, and then we want you to hurry up and develop a heavy-duty Silver Crane with a maximum load of 8 tons for vertical take-off and landing and a maximum load of 12 tons for gliding take-off and landing.”
”As long as the performance of the heavy-duty Silver Crane can reach 80% of the basic model, we can directly purchase 300 first. The specific parameter requirements for the heavy-duty Silver Crane are all in this document.”
Kang Chi nodded, took the document handed over by Cai Yaobin, and took a closer look. He found that the parameter requirements they put forward for the heavy-duty Silver Crane were actually very simple. In addition to higher requirements for endurance and load capacity, the rest were some cabin space structure design and reserved requirements for external module bayonet.
Obviously, what they want is a standard ‘bare machine’, which is convenient for self-modification after purchase, and some modular equipment can be added according to actual needs.
After putting down the documents, Kang Chi couldn’t help but asked with a smile: “Don’t you ask the price before placing an order?”
”It’s not the first time we’ve cooperated.” Cai Yaobin said very confidently, “I believe Mr. Kang will definitely give us a price that satisfies both of us.”
What a retreat to advance.
Since he said so, Kang Chi certainly didn’t want to be too aggressive…
However, it can be seen from this that through the previous cooperation, the military has established enough trust and goodwill in him.
Kang Chi was silent for a moment before he slowly said: “The cost of industrial manufacturing is inversely proportional to the number of manufacturing, so I have a small question… When Mr. Cai gave me the Z-20 blueprint, he said that it could not be used for commercial purposes. I wonder if this Silver Crane is included?”
Cai Yaobin was stunned for a moment.
From what Kang Chi said, is he trying to turn the Silver Crane into a civilian product? From a technical perspective, Cai Yaobin believes that the relevance between the Yinhe and the Z-20 is minimal, and the Z-20 blueprints should only be learning materials for Kang Chi.
After all, most aircraft blueprints are highly confidential documents, unlike ordinary learning materials that can be easily found on the Internet.
However, if it is just to provide a learning material, it is indeed somewhat unreasonable and even a bit rogue to restrict Kang Chi’s use of Yinhe…
Cai Yaobin pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: “Although I think you have the right to use Yinhe in the commercial field, but for the sake of technical safety, I think you need to at least impose necessary restrictions on key technologies, especially battery technology.”
“Don’t worry about this!” Seeing Cai Yaobin’s relenting, Kang Chi nodded immediately and said, “In fact, I would do the same without you mentioning it. After all, if it is commercially used, it is impossible to use such high-end solid-state lithium-ion batteries considering the cost.”
After obtaining the commercial license, it means that Yinhe can be mass-produced, so the price space is much larger.
This is not only beneficial to Kang Chi, but also good news for ordinary people and the military.
Moreover, the civilian Yinhe can be completely converted to military use when necessary, as long as a better battery is replaced, which greatly improves the potential strength of the army.
Kangchi finally offered a price of 34.4 million for the basic model, with two 3,000-degree battery packs as standard.
If more batteries are needed, each one will cost 7.2 million, the same as Kangchi’s previous price of 2,400 yuan/kg.
As for the heavy-duty Silver Crane, it is initially estimated that the battery pack will be at least twice as large. The price of two 5-ton battery packs alone will be as high as 28.8 million. Therefore, the estimated price of a standard heavy-duty Silver Crane will be as high as 68.8 million.
However, the performance parameters of the heavy-duty Silver Crane are basically benchmarked against the Osprey.
The price of the Osprey is as high as 74 million US dollars. In the face of this sky-high price of almost 500 million RMB, the 68.8 million Silver Crane is absolutely cost-effective.
As for the 100 million Z-20, there is no comparison at all. Whether it is performance, cost-effectiveness, or later use and maintenance costs, it is almost all-round crushing.
”In addition, this Silver Crane is just a technical test.After the test, I will improve and upgrade the prototype according to the test results. The performance may be further improved… Of course, the price may also increase, so the quotation this time is only for reference and not as the final transaction price. “ Hearing Kang Chi’s last addition, Cai Yaobin’s eyes suddenly lit up and he became even more excited.
Good guy, from what Kang Chi said, Yinhe actually has potential that has not been squeezed out? What kind of genius is this!? ”No problem, no problem!” Cai Yaobin nodded quickly, “We know that Mr. Kang’s quotation has always been real, so we have never bargained, right?”
”By the way… I have a copy of the learning materials for the H-6K and Y-20…”
Cai Yaobin asked tentatively with a slightly embarrassed smile: “If Mr. Kang is interested, why don’t you take the time to learn? ”
Kang Chi: “…”
Brother, your intention is too obvious, isn’t it? But why is it the H-6K?
“There is a rumor among the people that the H-20 has been released?”
“Well… to apply for information of this level, my level is not high enough. If you really want it, why don’t you write a handwritten application and I will submit it for you?”
“It’s okay. I just asked casually. There is no need to be so troublesome. The engine of the Y-20 is pretty good. ”
Since Kang Chi said so, it was obvious that he was ready to accept the learning materials, which made Cai Yaobin feel relieved.
So after completing the data handover work as required, Kang Chi had two more hard drives in his hands…
After four days of preliminary testing, Yinhe had completed the basic testing links. The next step was to test its stability in extreme conditions such as sandstorms, low temperatures, rain, snow and ice, as well as maximum endurance and long-term use.
Many of these tests require going to special places, and even depending on the weather to be carried out.
Speaking of which, the danger of these tests is indeed a bit high. Others usually avoid extreme environments, but these test pilots are willing to risk their lives. This makes Kang Chi admire him, but more worried.
In order to further ensure safety, Kang Chi decided to wait until he upgraded Yinhe again before carrying out these projects, otherwise if something went wrong, he would feel so guilty.
”Boss Kang, have a safe trip! ”
”When is the next test of the Silver Crane?”
”Take care, Mr. Kang!”
”…”
Although the test group only spent four or five days together, Kang Chi and the Silver Crane’s performance completely impressed everyone, so when Kang Chi left, everyone took the initiative to run over to see him off.
”Thank you, everyone. I will improve the Silver Crane as soon as possible and try to come back as soon as possible. Thank you for your hard work these days. Thank you for letting the Silver Crane really fly into the sky.”
After speaking, Kang Chi looked at Li Xiangnan and Shen Ye again, and said with a smile: “I know that it is a bit of a waste of talent to let you test the Silver Crane, but don’t worry, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. At that time, I will definitely make something that will make you fly happily and excitingly.”
Li Xiangnan couldn’t help but say: “Really? ! ”
Shen Ye quickly patted Li Xiangnan’s back with his hand. Li Xiangnan realized his impoliteness and quickly changed his words: “Unyielding talent is unyielding talent. Being the first Chinese pilot to fly a tilt-rotor aircraft, others are envious!”
”Haha, you are quite good at finding excuses…”
