After more than half a year of intensive mass production, various military equipment provided to the military by Huaxia Military Industry Corporation have been delivered in large quantities one after another. Especially the air force military equipment, the delivery speed is very fast.
It stands to reason that it will take a long time for military equipment to be officially installed in the army. There will be a lot of small-scale revision and correction work, and some of them will need to adapt to new tactical changes and need to be modified.
But these problems are not a problem for Huaxia Military Industrial Company, because these designs are the results of countless simulations by Zhao Yi in Zhouling Space.
Therefore, once launched, it is a quite mature military equipment product, which can not only save a lot of time, but also save a lot of research and development costs for China Military Industrial Company.
Now, in addition to a small number of unfinished military equipment that China Military Industrial Corporation is currently stepping up research and development on, most of its energy has been turned to the research of next-generation military equipment.
For the next generation of military equipment, Zhao Yi has already pointed out a relatively clear route for them, so they don't have much trouble in determining the target. They only need to move forward step by step towards the predetermined target.
But while starting to develop the next generation of military equipment, they also need to make relevant theoretical reserves for the next generation of military equipment. This is relatively difficult for Huaxia Military Industrial Company.
Because Zhao Yi did not explain much about this aspect, this requires the R&D personnel of China Military Industrial Company to look at the problem from a higher level, not just the research and development of the equipment itself.
At present, Huaxia Military Industrial Company's technical reserves are still very rich, and the entire military industry R&D and manufacturing system is relatively complete, so there are not many worries about manufacturing.
However, in addition to technical support, the next generation of equipment requires a strategic vision. It is necessary now to have a relatively accurate prediction of the shape of war in a few decades.
If the prediction is inaccurate, the early R&D ideas may go wrong, which will not only waste a lot of R&D funds, but also delay the development of our country's defense industry and cause military equipment disadvantages in a short period of time.
However, as an independent military-industrial complex with leading technology, Zhao Yi did not intend to continue to be a nanny after giving them a ride, because in this case, Huaxia Military Industrial Company would never grow up, like a giant baby that would not grow up.
Although Huaxia Military Industrial Company does not invest too much energy in the research and development of contemporary military equipment, even some military equipment that has not been fully developed is considered less important military equipment.
For example, the missile defense system they are developing includes a terminal missile defense system and a mid-course missile defense system. This type of military equipment is not currently particularly urgent for our country.
Although that is said, Huaxia Military Industrial Company has still invested a relatively large amount of energy in this area, but their research and development time in this area is still short. Even if the investment is relatively large, satisfactory results cannot be achieved in a short period of time.
Missile technology is not too high-end for China Military Industrial Corporation, but there is still a lot of work to be done to integrate these missile technologies to form a high-efficiency, high-accuracy missile defense system.
However, they have advanced missile technology, advanced radar detection equipment technology and intelligent system assistance, so it is not a big problem to develop an advanced missile system.
Compared with the research and development of the next generation of military equipment, Huaxia Military Industry Corporation has invested a lot of energy in the mass production of existing military equipment during this period, especially air force military equipment and naval military equipment.
Among them, the manufacturing of air force military equipment is not particularly difficult for Huaxia Military Industrial Company, and the mass production capacity is relatively easy to expand rapidly, because it only needs to increase the production line and the supply of various parts.
The aircraft production line of Huaxia Military Industrial Company is very advanced. Although it has not reached the level of full automation, it is still much more advanced than the semi-automated production line.
In other words, the reliance on manpower is relatively low, and cultivating a powerful military equipment manufacturing worker generally requires too much energy, which is of great significance for large-scale mass production.
In fact, it also proves the importance of doing so. The year is not over yet, but China Military Industrial Company has completed the delivery of all military equipment in this year's Air Force military equipment procurement plan.
In other words, China Military Industrial Corporation has delivered thousands of aircraft of various types to the military in less than a year, which has also resulted in our country having strong airspace defense capabilities.
As for major pilots and small-scale joint exercises, they have been greatly improved through advanced simulation systems. Although it is difficult to train ace pilots, it is enough to train regular pilots.
In addition, the delivery of aircraft during this period was not only timely, but also greatly exceeded expectations, allowing many pilots to get on the aircraft in time for actual operations after simulated operations on the ground, and their abilities were greatly enhanced.
Compared with the early large-scale delivery of air force military equipment, the navy's military equipment is not so smooth. This is not because there are any iterations in the design of warships, but because it is very difficult to deliver large-scale deliveries.
Although warship manufacturing also uses a large amount of mechanical equipment, it does not have a very highly automated production line and requires the use of a large number of skilled workers. This has become a major factor hindering large-scale mass production.
And even if there are enough workers, there needs to be enough shipyards for manufacturing. Although the number of shipyards currently owned by Huaxia Military Industrial Company is sufficient, this is also a major limiting factor.
Due to the increase in the special defense procurement budget and the rapid increase in the scale of the economy, the regular defense budget has also increased significantly, resulting in a large increase in the amount of defense expenditure.
Moreover, the military equipment produced by Huaxia Military Industrial Company has an obvious feature, that is, the maintenance cycle is long and the overall maintenance cost is low, which reduces the use cost of these military equipment.
This has led to the military being more willing to invest more funds in upgrading existing military equipment and also significantly expanding the scale of military equipment, because even so, the future regular defense budget will be more than enough to maintain these military equipment.
Therefore, in addition to the great increase in the number of various types of aircraft purchased by the Air Force, the number of various types of warships purchased by the Navy is also very impressive.
Judging from the number and types of naval warship orders currently received, it is enough to equip two aircraft carrier formations. Officially because of this, China Military Industrial Company has begun to build two aircraft carriers.
Although China Military Industrial Company's aircraft carrier technology has been very mature after so many years of research and development, it has greatly surpassed Yingjiang's aircraft carrier in terms of technology.
But the aircraft carrier is too big. Even if there is no need to worry about the technical aspects, the construction process alone will take a lot of time to complete. It is precisely because of this that there is a scene of two aircraft carriers being built at the same time.
Because according to calculations, the construction cycle of an aircraft carrier takes more than two years at the minimum. Under normal circumstances, it takes about three years.
Of course, as the workers who build aircraft carriers become more skilled and optimize all aspects of the construction process, this time period is likely to be shortened.
As for the construction of other people's aircraft carriers, it takes 5-8 years. That is because many of them have already been designed and many relevant technical reserves are insufficient. They need to develop and develop while building, which naturally takes much longer.
As for the Huaxia Military Industrial Company's aircraft carrier, not only the design process has been completed, but also the technology used in it has been reserved for a long time. As soon as construction begins, each component can immediately enter the production process.
According to our country's national defense policy, it is mainly to protect the security of our territorial waters and to ensure the security of our trade routes in the future. The number of aircraft carrier formations required is about 6.
As for when these six aircraft carrier formations will be completed, it depends on the specific situation. First, it depends on whether the supporting naval military equipment is ready. Second, it depends on the training status of the completed aircraft carrier formations.
However, the scale of our country's economy cannot be hidden forever, and it has begun to become impossible to hide it now. As the economy further grows in the future, it will become even less possible.
Zhao Yi could imagine that when our country's Bureau of Statistics announced that our country's GDP had surpassed that of the "world's most powerful country" Yingjiang, and the excess was not even a fraction of a percent, it would be conservatively estimated to exceed 50%. If you are optimistic, it might be will be more than 100%.
Because with the acceleration of my country's infrastructure construction and urbanization, as well as a more active monetary policy, it is of great significance to prosper our country's economy and expand the domestic demand cycle.
Coupled with the huge population of our country, it will be relatively easy to exceed 50% of Yingjiang's GDP and reach 150% of their GDP. If all aspects develop better, it will be 200%.
Along with the great economic success, there is naturally a need for greater military security, so the construction of six aircraft carriers is already relatively conservative. If the situation is not optimistic, more will be needed.
Moreover, the construction of a minimum of six aircraft carriers cannot be delayed for too long. In the future, China Military Industrial Company will basically start building two aircraft carriers every year, so as to meet future needs.
It is already 1987, and there is not much time left for us. We do not have a very accurate judgment on what the future situation will be like. After all, this life is not the previous life, and many things have changed dramatically.
Therefore, we need to prepare for the worst, rather than making optimistic estimates. In addition, the aircraft carrier designed by China Military Industrial Company is itself very mature, its technology is also far ahead, and it already has the foundation for large-scale construction.
For example, the two aircraft carriers currently built by China Military Industrial Company have a tonnage of 120,000 tons. Their advanced power systems allow them to reach a speed of 35 nautical miles. The use of high-power and high-density batteries greatly increases the efficiency of electromagnetic ejection. improve.
Other supporting electronic systems and air defense missile systems are currently the most advanced, and artificial intelligence systems are also used on a large scale, which can greatly improve the efficiency of all links.
It can be said that even if it takes more than 10 years for the aircraft carrier designed and built by China Military Industrial Corporation, it may not be able to catch up. Once such an aircraft carrier comes out, it will have a sufficient deterrent effect.
In addition to the busy manufacturing business of these military equipment, Huaxia Military Industrial Company also has another very important equipment that also needs to be manufactured urgently.
That is the individual soldier uniform developed by Zhao Yi. Our country is not without war. On the southern border, the war is not over yet, but has just entered the stage of war.
In order to further reduce the casualties of border warriors and at the same time verify the combat capabilities of individual soldier uniforms, the military purchased the first batch of 10,000 individual soldier uniforms from China Military Industrial Company, which was an emergency purchase.
Although the quantity is small, the total price is not cheap, reaching 5 billion yuan, and these 10,000 suits are only the first batch of emergency purchase orders. If the value of this suit on the battlefield is proven, the following ones The order quantity may not be small.
The order of 10,000 sets of individual soldier uniforms was not considered huge for Huaxia Military Industrial Company. It only took one month to deliver them all to the military.
After the delivery of the first batch of orders was completed, Huaxia Military Industrial Company did not wait for feedback from the military or the next order. They continued production.
According to their current production capacity, they can only produce 10,000 sets a month. Because the unit price of individual soldier uniforms is too high, there is no need to continue to increase production capacity, but will increase various costs.
They continue to produce even though there are no follow-up orders, mainly because they are full of confidence in this individual soldier uniform. They believe that after the military uses it in actual combat, they will definitely place an order for it.
In fact, it also proves that the judgment of Huaxia Military Industrial Company is correct. Although 10,000 sets of individual soldiers are not many, in the border war, the role they played was simply like a god coming down to earth.
Since then, the troops equipped with this uniform have not only greatly increased their combat power, but also defeated the enemy. The results of the war are rapidly expanding, but this troop has not suffered a single serious casualty.
This made the military stunned when they got the relevant data. They had expected that the combat effectiveness of the combat troops would be greatly improved, but they did not expect that it would be so astonishing.
There are still only 10,000 soldiers in the army equipped with this individual combat uniform. If the number is expanded to 50,000, it will really be an invincible army.
In addition to the most important fighting will of a modern army, advanced military equipment plays the greatest role in war. However, this individual soldier's uniform goes beyond conventional individual soldier equipment and is simply dimension reduction. blow.
Sure enough, after the military received the statistical data from the front line, it only held a military meeting and decided to continue purchasing this individual soldier uniform and equip more front-line troops.
Therefore, the military subsequently placed a second batch of orders for 20,000 sets, and may continue to place a third batch of orders in the future to prevent China Military Industries from stopping production.
According to the military's overall procurement plan, only 50,000 sets of this individual soldier uniform will be purchased this year. On the one hand, this scale of equipment can basically guarantee the use of front-line troops.
Second, the amount of military equipment purchased this year is too much. The funds on hand may seem huge, but when divided, it is still a bit stretched.
To be honest, other military equipment provided by Huaxia Military Industrial Company actually did not make much money. Even some military equipment was sold at a guaranteed cost.
Even though the price of military equipment sold by Huaxia Military Industrial Company is not low, their technology is so advanced that the price of each component is relatively high, and the overall cost is still very high.
Therefore, we cannot use the current international military equipment procurement prices as a reference. Instead, we need to refer to the military equipment procurement prices ten or twenty years from now.
It was precisely because he knew that the price of his military equipment was relatively high that Zhao Yicai asked Huaxia Military Industrial Company to make a small profit on the price of military equipment sold domestically.
Of course, the reason for making a small profit is, on the one hand, the hope that this batch of military equipment can be installed on a large scale as soon as possible, eliminate the fallen military equipment, and increase national defense support.
On the other hand, although this batch of military equipment has spent a lot of energy in research and development, most of the technology still comes from Zhao Yi. Even if it is sold at a low profit, it still allows China Military Industrial Company to operate normally.
Of course, for the parts providers of these military equipment, they still supply parts at normal prices, but the integrator, China Military Industrial Company, does not make much money.
Compared with these conspicuous-looking military equipment, the profit margin of this individual soldier uniform is very considerable, and the cost is only one-fifth of the selling price. With the increase in total production, the cost is still falling rapidly. .
For the research and development of next-generation military equipment of China Military Industrial Company, although Zhao Yi provided research and development ideas, he provided relatively little other support, which meant that the cost of research and development would rise rapidly.
If there is really no high-profit business to support it, it is likely to affect the normal plans of China Military Industrial Company and also affect their research and development of next-generation military equipment.
Zhao Yi has helped Huaxia Military Industrial Company to get off the road. From now on, they will have to bear the profits and losses themselves. It is impossible to get money from Zhao Yi again. It is already good if they don't collect money from them.
Therefore, this individual soldier uniform can be regarded as the main source of profit for China Military Industrial Company, and there is a reason for choosing this individual soldier uniform as the main source of profit.
Compared with other military equipment, individual soldier uniforms greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the army, but they are not as conspicuous as those of military aircraft or warships.
This has resulted in advanced fighter planes and warships becoming more deterrent to hostile forces, and in their traditional understanding, these are the absolute mainstay of military combat power.
Compared with these big guys, the individual soldier uniforms are much unknown. Even now, the hostile troops in the south don't know that the opponents who are fighting against them, as if they have taken strong medicine, are actually because of a single soldier combat uniform. Great changes brought about by clothing.
Therefore, if the profit margin of fighter planes and warships is too high, it will affect the overall procurement quantity, and it will not be able to achieve an obvious deterrent effect. This is what Zhao Yi does not want to see. "Conquering the enemy without fighting" is our military strategy. Purpose.
Under this circumstance, this inconspicuous individual soldier's battle suit has become the main revenue-generating business of Huaxia Military Industrial Company. It is not necessary for foreign countries to know how powerful this battle suit is, as long as the domestic military knows about it.
And leaving this ace means is also leaving the biggest trump card for ourselves. We cannot show all the cards to the other party. This will cause us to have fewer backup options and our ability to deal with crises will also be weakened.
In fact, in order to run in the newly installed military equipment in our country as quickly as possible, large-scale drills are frequently conducted in the northwest region, and military satellites of other countries have captured some pictures.
However, since there are almost no relevant reports from our side, all parties have speculated, and even mentioned it to the media to achieve the purpose of asking for advice. (End of chapter)
