Chapter 286: Organize a military trade fair
”A great weapon of a great power, a real great weapon of a great power!”
On the return bus, the military leaders were all beaming, and they kept discussing the shocking scene.
The real Y-20S has not been produced yet, but they have begun to discuss how many to purchase.
The first thing they agreed on was to return the 80 Y-20s currently in service to the factory for a major overhaul from four engines to two engines.
The replaced engines will not be wasted, and can be used to develop a small transport aircraft to replace the old Y-12, filling the gap in small-scale troop deployment and the inefficient travel of high-level generals.
This improvement project alone requires 160 turbofan 30s, which is enough for Datang Heavy Industry and Xi’an Aircraft to be busy for a while.
Especially for Datang Heavy Industry, the production pressure is still quite large.
However, this also brought Kangchi a huge order. The price of a single GE9X engine is about 40 million US dollars, which is about 300 million RMB.
Kangchi’s offer for the WS-30 is also 300 million, but the performance is fully crushed, and the cost performance is absolutely full.
But even if the cost performance is high, the purchase of the replacement engine alone requires a real 48 billion.
In fact, when hearing this offer before the test flight, many leaders thought it was too expensive. Until today’s maiden flight, no one complained about it.
Of course, the headache is still a headache.
Not counting the cost of transformation, the engine alone costs so much money. It is conceivable how tight the military expenditure will be. What’s more, hundreds of real Y-20S and ten Y-30 Super Kunpeng will be needed later. Xi’an Aircraft’s initial offer for them is 1.6 billion and 3.5 billion, and the initial estimate is about 200 billion.
Large strategic transport aircraft are really good, but they are also really expensive!
The country only has 1.5 trillion military expenditures per year. It must be very tight to suddenly take out such a large amount of military expenditures, and it can only be spread over several years in the future.
But the performance improvement of the Y-20S is so great that they can’t wait to use it immediately.
If it is spread over a few years, it means that only dozens of aircraft can be modified and built every year.
One point is divided among several war zones, and the amount obtained may be in the single digit. Who can use it?
Thinking that they can’t get their beloved large aircraft if they don’t pay, their hearts itch.
But the problem is, where does the money come from? The Elders’ Council will approve more, but it is definitely limited.
After all, military expenditure has a GDP ratio. Exceeding too much will not only affect economic development, but also bring pressure to the outside world, thinking that China is going to engage in an arms race.
So they can only find a way by themselves.
And this method is also very simple.
Sell arms! Let others pay for their own replacement.
”Let’s hold a military trade fair, call Pakistan, Tiger, Camel, Iran and Iraq, and find a way to sell the old Y-20, and then directly build Y-20S, and deliver one Y-20 to them for every two built.”
”Is this… suitable?”
”What’s not suitable? Old M’s C17 can be sold, so why can’t our Y-20?”
In fact, with the WS-30, the WS-20 has been eliminated.
Let’s not consider whether it can be reversed. Even if these countries are given drawings and technology directly, they don’t have the industrial chain to build it.
And the only ones who can reverse it are old M and others.
But with their engine technology, there is no reason to reverse the WS-20.
At the same time, directly selling the Y-20 is also the most direct way to show the strength of a great power, and it can also attract a wave of international favorability and increase international influence.
So the matter was quickly agreed upon. In addition to the Y-20, helicopters that were eliminated or about to be eliminated by Yinhe can also be sold together.
After getting off the car, Chief Shen took Kang Chi aside and asked him privately: “How is your research on communication technology going?”
”There are some clues, but it is not certain yet. Experimental verification is needed.”
”Well… is your company short of funds?”
”It’s okay, what’s wrong?”
”You must need a lot of money to develop drone carriers? If funds are tight, I can help you apply to see if the battery performance of Yinhe can be castrated and sold together.”
”ThisIt’s not necessary. “Kang Chi shook his head directly,
”It will take a long time for your Silver Crane orders to be digested, and we also have a commercial version of the Silver Crane development plan, so we don’t have to worry about overcapacity and sales. In addition, COMAC has also placed a large number of orders for the civilian version of the WS-30, so my financial pressure is not great.”
Director Shen couldn’t help but smile: “Boss Kang has a big family and strong technology, so I am worrying too much.”
”That’s because you are strong enough, so I can keep these assets… Speaking of which, it was Boss Cai who said this to me at the beginning.”
”Well, he said this at the beginning, in fact, it was what I meant. Apart from anything else, if our army is not strong enough, those oil-collecting worms you made abroad may be robbed in minutes.”
”So I transformed myself into an arms dealer. ”
”Ah…”
Speaking of this, Chief Shen couldn’t help but feel a little worried: “On the one hand, I hope you can make high-tech equipment, but on the other hand, I’m a little afraid… You always ask our entire army to change their equipment, and the military expenditure is simply not enough.”
”Haha, that’s your business, but you can rest assured that the money earned from you is basically used for research and development and production. This money will eventually flow back to the economy, creating countless jobs and GDP. When the GDP goes up, your military expenditure will also increase.”
”We have never worried about this. Everyone knows that you never spend money indiscriminately, and even the input and output are a bit seriously… not proportional.”
”Isn’t this a good thing?”
”Of course it is a good thing… Then look forward to your new good news! ”
Chief Shen patted Kang Chi’s shoulder gently, then turned and walked onto the special plane.
Ten minutes later, the special plane took off and returned to Yanjing. Kang Chi waited for about ten minutes and felt the supersonic flight again…
After all, Dr. Kang’s time is precious and he likes to ride fighter jets. What reason is there not to satisfy him?
After returning to Pangu Base, Kang Chi immediately got into the state and began to prepare for the formal double-slit experiment of quantum entanglement.
That night, he completed the installation and debugging of the entire experimental device.
Considering that it was a bit late, and that he was indeed a bit tired after a few days of running around, Kang Chi had to suppress his curiosity and go to sleep first. Because he didn’t set the alarm clock, this I slept until after nine o’clock, and the experiment officially started at noon the next day.
The whole experiment is actually very simple.
He just pressed a button, and the experiment was completed in less than a second.
From the appearance of the device, it seems that nothing happened.
But if the experimental device runs once as planned, in this short period of less than a second, the photon emission device decays a pion, and then the photon passes through the electron double-slit interference gate and splits into two entangled quanta, and is finally locked up by the two quantum catchers made by Kang Chi.
Next, use the detector in the catcher to observe the quantum and see its spin direction.
