"Did we just admit defeat?" This result was unacceptable to Li Yuming.

In order to surpass the Ninth Hospital and to steal all orders from the Ninth Hospital, they even used various relationships and opportunities to introduce a large number of advanced technologies from abroad. Now they found that even if they spent a lot of money, they could not compare with the design of the Ninth Hospital.

The military allocated a lot of funds to them. In order to introduce technology, he guaranteed that he would definitely create a world-class tank.

Even domestic ones are not as good as those in the world. How can I compare with the world?

The Ninth Academy has developed the world's most advanced tank? This is not because Li Yuming looked down on the Ninth Academy, but it is impossible. He believes that even the military believes that even if the Dragon Guard tanks are dazzling in the Iraq-Iraq War, no one will believe it.

"The only cost we can defeat the Ninth Academy is the only cost. The performance of the Type 80 main battle tank should be slightly more advanced than that of the Dragon Guard tank. If our cost price can be controlled lower and the price to the military is lower than that of the Dragon Guard tank, then we will take some initiative when we have performance disadvantages. Our domestic economic level determines that the military cannot use too expensive heavy equipment. The demand for a huge army is very large." Zhao Bisheng, the secretary of the 617 base who is also in conflict with the Ninth Academy and wishes that the Ninth Academy would go bankrupt, made his own suggestions with a serious face.

It's too late to go in time, and there is basically no possibility of improving performance in the short term.

The only thing that can win is their cost advantage.

"How much is the production cost of tanks over there?" Li Yuming asked.

No one can answer this question.

Even many of the people in the Ninth Yuan’s own are not sure how much it costs.

"We can only compare according to the price of the Dragon Guard tank. The tanks they exported were sold for more than two million US dollars, and the quote for the military was 6 million yuan per vehicle. According to estimates, their cost should be within 5 million." Zhao Bisheng did not say how much the price of the tank at the 617 base, but the price of the Dragon Guard tank in the Ninth Court.

"In other words, our tank must be within five million?" Li Yuming asked with some pain, "The price is too low, so we will get less profits. Many infrastructure plans in the base will be interrupted due to lack of funds..."

Hearing Li Yuming say this, Han Chong, as the chief designer, looked contempt and complained in his heart, "If I had known this, why should I have been there? If you had misappropriated a large amount of R&D funds at the beginning, would you be so passive now? The Ninth Hospital has a large amount of funds invested in R&D every year..."

He dared not say these words in person.

At the 617 base, the position of technical chief engineer is far inferior to that of the secretary and the factory director of the management base.

"How much can our costs be reduced?" Li Yuming was silent for a while, and now there was no other way. "How much can it be reduced if efficiency is improved and some unnecessary costs are reduced?"

"At present, our production cost is 5.47 million yuan per vehicle. If the parts purchased from abroad can be produced by themselves, the cost can be reduced to less than 4 million yuan. To control costs, there are basically no possibility of production, because a large number of our parts are purchased abroad..." Liao Fenggang, chief engineer in charge of the production of the entire 617 factory, quickly exposed the cost price.

He understood very well that we have purchased too many equipment and technology from abroad, but many of them have not been digested until now. If we want to reduce costs in these aspects, there is basically no possibility of it.

"Are we competing with them for six million?" Zhao Yuming roared.

The problems encountered by the 617 base are not a problem for the Ninth Hospital.

How unhappy Zhao Yuming was, Liu Yijiu didn’t know that when everyone in the Ninth Hospital devoted their energy to this project, the speed of producing samples was much faster.

The appearance design was determined from the beginning, and it adopted the M1A3 design with a large inclined angle on the front and side. This tank looked angular and turret on it, and the turret on it also looked like this. It adhered to the design idea of ​​Longwei and abandoned the hemispherical turret design.

In order to facilitate production, and the breakthrough in the internal welding technology of the Jiuyuan Institute has been made, in addition to the core components, most of the armor is welded.

There is no way to use welding technology. After all, it is impossible to use welding technology to weld it. Weld a layer of armor inside, then spread the graphene city flat on top, connect it with rivets on the side, use carbon fiber on the outside, and then use special armor steel on the outside, weld it, just like a sandwich.

This production method can effectively improve the defense performance of tank armor parts.

However, Liu Yijiu was not satisfied with just tanks.

Especially the person in charge of the Blue Army was his father-in-law. During this period, the old man did not urge him and Li Rui to create villains, perhaps because he knew that the test-tube baby was about to be underway.

The Blues have been established for so long, and the framework has been completely formed, but there is not enough equipment to support it.

Let’s not talk about the Air Force. There are currently no trace of various types of transport aircraft, fighter aircraft, and even early warning aircraft that were originally planned to be equipped.

Only Army equipment can barely be used.

The most advanced tanks are about to be mass-produced, and the supporting armored vehicles are not seen. When the tank eyes provide air fire support and cover for the armored troops, it is not enough to only equip 12 Z-91s.

"I don't care about you. If you give me a word, just give me a word. When will it be equipped with it? You said that you are a commander and formed the most advanced and elite troops in the country, but you didn't even have equipment. Where do you think I'm going to put my face?" Li Yunlong never paid attention to his image.

Even in the territory of the son-in-law, the Ninth Court Base, he would not give any face at all.

Even when Liu Yijiu was in a meeting, he was still rampant.

It’s not that he didn’t know how to take into account his son-in-law’s face, but that he was too anxious - he was already in his seventies, and he was worried that he wouldn’t see what this army would look like in the end!

Liu Yijiu had originally promised that if the Blue Army was formed according to the plan, it would not take many troops, and it would not be a problem to fight the Republic's most elite one.

"Dad, we are still developing these equipment..." Liu Yijiu was extremely immense. He even cursed the old man and the others in his heart. They were worried about bringing the old man here, but they began to be unable to live a good life.

The old man was like urging his life.

In terms of technology research and development, it cannot be completed in a short period of time.

"Don't worry, you will definitely be able to see the combat effectiveness of modern multi-army cooperation before you retire. It will definitely take a minute to deal with ****." Liu Yijiu knew what the old man was thinking, so in order to make his life more comfortable, he could only fool him like this.

The old man doesn't care about so many of him, "Take me to see how far your armed helicopter has been developed? There are also transportation helicopters. ****, that boy Chen Dashan, asks my continental aviation group to transport troops to them every day. How can I train air firepower strikes?"

Liu Yijiu felt that he must have owe this old guy in his previous life.

Otherwise, he would not have forced himself to become a son-in-law. When he is old, he should have retired. People in their seventies have to be the commander...

In desperation, I had to take my father-in-law to the first area responsible for helicopter research.

In District 1, with the improvement of internal power technology in the Ninth Hospital in recent years and the increasing number of helicopter research projects, the scale has become larger. Moreover, many production capacity for power production and manufacturing has been transferred to the power plant in Rongcheng.

This is only responsible for design and research and development.

Helicopters have become the most important project in the area.

Especially with the successful development of the Zhi-91, it has been sold to Iran and has shown very good performance. Not only is it assembling the Zhi-91, but it is also designing and researching more professional armed helicopters and transportation helicopters.

Seeing Liu Yijiu bringing Li Yunlong, Wang Yueshan and others looked distressed.

"Why, I don't welcome me when I see you coming?" Li Yunlong always showed a rough image. When he saw Wang Yueshan with a bitter face, he was immediately unhappy. "You said you are the same. The large amount of funds each year has been consumed by you. He has the complete set of Russian Mi-24 technology, and also has the experience of developing a Z-91 to build a professional armed helicopter. How many years have you not made it?"

When Wang Yueshan heard this, he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into it.

Liu Yijiu was also helpless, but at this time, he had to say something, "Commander Li, our technical research and development is nothing else, and helicopters are highly integrated with high technology, not as simple as using rifles or something. Moreover, the prototype is already being assembled..."

Wang Yueshan was timid by Li Yunlong.

This old man wandered around the entire base when he had nothing to do.

Because the equipment of the Blue Army is provided by the Ninth Academy, all of which are designed by the Ninth Academy. Even if it cannot, they will cooperate with other units.

Who should they urge?

"The prototype is equipped with nonsense and needs to go through several years of testing before it can be equipped with the troops. Can I wait until that time?" Although Li Yunlong's tone was very uncomfortable, it also revealed a deep helplessness.

He is already over seventy.
