The number of domestically equipped various fighter aircraft and equipment reached 1,200 the year before last, of which more than 600 were helicopters and 400 fighter jets. The rest were military aircraft such as transport aircraft, bombers, and strategic bombers.
Last year, the total number basically doubled to 2,500, including 1,900 helicopters, 500 fighter jets, and the remaining 100 other military aircraft.
In fact, this quantity is basically sufficient internally, but this is in a relatively calm international environment. However, according to the military development plan, this procurement rate will be maintained every year in the future.
Because this amount of aviation military equipment is still far behind compared to Eagle Sauce, our country is currently adopting a defensive strategy, so it does not need to complete all goals in a short period of time.
Moreover, our country's military and defense expenses are relatively abundant now, and we only need to follow the planned plan to achieve the goal, so there is not much of a problem in this area.
After the formation of the aircraft carrier fleet is completed, the military will also purchase carrier-based aircraft on a large scale, such as a 120,000-ton aircraft carrier. Each aircraft carrier will require 90 to 100 carrier-based aircraft.
Two ships need to be equipped with about 200 various carrier-based aircraft. In addition, other ships also need to be equipped with military helicopters. The demand is still quite large.
In fact, most of these helicopters are used by the Army. The Air Force does not need many helicopters. What they need are fixed-wing aircraft.
In addition, the Army also purchased a large number of tanks and military armored vehicles, with the total number reaching 2,000, although it is still slightly insufficient compared to Eagle Sauce.
However, it is still relatively sufficient for local defense, and if we continue to purchase this quantity in the future, we will be able to catch up with Eagle Sauce in quantity within a few years.
Moreover, in terms of these equipment, the technology of Huaxia Military Industrial Company is also at the world's leading level. The combat power of the same type of army equipment is definitely the most powerful.
If it were developed by Huaxia Military Industrial Company itself, it would not be able to get such a guarantee. In fact, their first batch of various military equipment was designed by Zhao Yi.
Because at that time, his companies did not have much experience in this area. If he did not provide relevant design and technical information, it would take too long for them to develop usable military equipment.
And our country's economic development is so rapid that we need a matching army to ensure that our country's economic development is not affected. There is not much time to waste.
With the first batch of military equipment design and technical information provided by him, a solid foundation was laid for Huaxia Military Industrial Company. Through study and consideration, they were able to absorb advanced military equipment design and manufacturing experience.
However, Zhao Yi planned to only provide the design and technical information of this batch of military equipment. The next generation of military equipment would need to be completed by Huaxia Military Industrial Company itself, and he did not intend to continue to intervene.
Unless they design an unprecedented monster and require his technical support, he will take action. However, the next generation of military equipment has nothing to look forward to.
As long as we ensure that our country's national defense strength can resist all enemies, we will have enough time to carry out our own layout, whether it is economic or the research and development of the next generation of military technology.
So now seeing the surge in the number of domestic military equipment, although it is not clear what their training level is, it can at least make him feel a sufficient sense of security.
And in order to speed up the training of these military equipment and joint training of various arms, China Military Industrial Company provides a complete set of simulation training systems and small confrontation simulation systems.
In fact, these software systems are not that easy to develop, and they are not even technically easier than developing related military equipment, so these systems were provided to them by Zhao Yi.
Therefore, these simulation training systems are very advanced. As long as they have sufficient computing power support, the supported training scale can be infinite, and they provide good scalability and a good interface for subsequent rich functions.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Huaxia Military Industrial Company, with its small number of researchers, to develop not only various military equipment, but also related software systems, and even take care of issues such as mass manufacturing in such a short period of time.
They are simply too busy. Many problems may delay them for several years, let alone military equipment. According to the software products he provides, China Military Industrial Company will not be able to complete them all in 10 years.
Although Huaxia Military Industrial Company does not make as much money as Fanxing Software Company, the software systems and other products they use are definitely much more complex than those of Fanxing Software Company.
Another thing that surprised him was that he originally thought that the military might purchase up to 50,000 sets of individual combat uniforms. After all, the unit price was not cheap. 50,000 sets would cost 25 billion yuan.
The military may have had a taste of the powerful capabilities of individual soldier uniforms the year before last. Last year, it placed a large order. The order quantity was still 50,000 sets, and the total number of orders was 100,000 sets.
There are 100,000 sets of individual soldier uniforms, which are enough to equip front-line troops. Although our country currently has more than 2 million defense force personnel, in fact, the number of front-line combat troops does not need to be very large, and the individual soldier uniforms are more effective when used in army combat troops. Effect.
To be honest, combatants wearing individual combat uniforms are basically invincible in ground light weapons battles. They are so powerful that they are simply not like earthly equipment.
Perhaps it is because of the outstanding performance of the individual soldier uniforms and the fact that the price is neither expensive nor cheap, but a price acceptable to both parties, that the military will continue to purchase such equipment.
Although the optimal use time of the individual soldier uniform is 10 years, if it is well maintained, it is not impossible to extend it to 20 years. At worst, it can be used by second-line troops or even third-line troops, and the remaining heat can be used.
Moreover, compared with other military equipment, the maintenance cost of individual soldier uniforms is very low. During the optimal use period, it basically does not require special maintenance, and the cost of use is very cost-effective.
For China Military Industrial Company, although the unit price of individual soldier uniforms is not high, the profit margin is very considerable. The selling price is 500,000 yuan, while their cost is 100,000 yuan.
They originally gave up a lot of benefits in the procurement of other military equipment, which can be supplemented in this aspect without affecting their subsequent military equipment research and development.
Huaxia Military Industrial Company itself does not produce individual weapons and equipment, such as rifles, pistols, howitzers, etc., because these equipment are not difficult for them.
Moreover, they cannot take away all the military equipment business. They also have to leave some orders to other domestic military industry companies. They even authorize other domestic military industry companies to produce the military equipment they develop themselves at extremely low prices.
In terms of weapons and equipment, they all produce advanced missiles, advanced rocket launchers and other military equipment. For them, these have a certain technical content and match their positioning.
They have metallic nitrogen and metallic hydrogen explosives provided by Zhao Yi, which makes them the largest military explosives production company in the country. These two are simply kings of explosives and have no competitors.
In addition, they have also inherited many technologies from Zhao Yi in terms of missile technology, and are very advanced in this aspect. The combination of the two makes their strength in this area already at the top level in the world.
The anti-missile system that was born from missile technology coupled with artificial intelligence and advanced auxiliary supporting systems has become the most advanced anti-missile system in the world, filling our country's gaps in this area.
China Military Industrial Corporation has completed road-based anti-missile systems, sea-based anti-missile systems, and has terminal anti-missile systems and mid-range anti-missile systems, which can meet the needs of most existing scenarios.
It's just that their road-based anti-missile systems have not been purchased on a large scale. The military only purchases part of them for testing, while their sea-based anti-missile systems are actually sold together with fleet configurations.
As an aircraft carrier fleet, it not only needs advanced attack systems, but also advanced anti-missile systems to destroy missiles launched by others. Otherwise, no matter how advanced the fleet is, it will not be able to withstand the firepower of a few enemy missiles.
In order to achieve multi-functionality within the limited fleet missile configuration, the fleet anti-missile system and attack system are combined into one, and the missiles are also universal and are not listed separately.
They even disliked that missile anti-missile was too expensive. They also developed a rocket anti-missile system, which was no inferior to missile anti-missile in the field of terminal anti-missile, but the cost was much lower.
In addition, their naval guns are also integrated with their anti-missile systems. As a supplement to the rocket anti-missile system, they are much more accurate against air targets than conventional naval guns.
In addition to these conventional military equipment, Huaxia Military Industrial Corporation has also gradually become involved in fields related to strategic weapons. Although it is not directly involved, there are still many tasks in which it is indirectly involved.
Why can the metal nitrogen and metal hydrogen that Zhao Yi gave to China Military Industrial Company be retained for a long time? After all, these things are not only very difficult to produce, but also very difficult to preserve.
The main reason is that Zhao Yi equipped them with stabilizers. As long as a small amount of stabilizers are mixed with metallic nitrogen and metallic hydrogen, these two substances can be stored for a long time and are not prone to explosion under normal circumstances.
So the biggest contribution is still to this stabilizer, and the role of this stabilizer is not only limited to this limited use, but also has a very wide range of uses in other aspects.
For example, under normal circumstances, hydrogen bombs are very difficult to preserve and the maintenance costs are relatively high. However, after adding stabilizers, the preservation and maintenance costs will become very low.
If metallic hydrogen is used as the flammable explosive of hydrogen bombs, then our country can produce hydrogen bombs in large quantities as our strategic missile weapons, thus significantly reducing the number of nuclear bombs.
When hydrogen bombs are combined with metallic hydrogen, the strategic missiles produced will have almost no nuclear pollution, and can even get rid of nuclear missile-related treaties, which will play a very important role in my country's expansion of strategic missiles.
Moreover, our country's own nuclear fuel reserves are not very abundant, which is very unfavorable for the expansion of our country's nuclear missiles. However, the sources of raw materials used for hydrogen bombs are very wide and almost unrestricted.
With such a good thing in their hands, of course they cannot keep it to themselves and take the initiative to cooperate with relevant research departments in the hope of strengthening our country's strength in the field of strategic weapons.
Seeing this, Zhao Yi still felt that using the high temperature generated by the explosion of metallic hydrogen to detonate a hydrogen bomb was not the most environmentally friendly and cheapest solution.
Zhao Yi's solution is to use high-energy lasers as the detonation source of hydrogen bombs. High-energy lasers can create a high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees in a very short period of time. Although the high temperature range is not large, it is enough to detonate a hydrogen bomb.
If it were before, this solution would not be particularly mature, because the temperature needs to be raised to hundreds of millions of degrees instantly, and a large amount of electrical energy needs to be provided in a short time to allow high-energy lasers to generate instantaneous high temperatures.
The electrical energy carried on the missile must be a battery. The previous battery energy storage level was very limited, and it was simply impossible to cause the high-energy laser to generate such a high temperature in a short period of time.
But in order to solve the problem of photovoltaic power generation and energy storage, he spent some time on battery research and produced a large number of products.
Among them, products in the civilian field have been handed over to Xinhui Energy Company, which is specially used for the production of civilian batteries. Many products have been used to a certain extent in people's daily lives.
There are currently two main categories of civilian batteries. One is the micro-magnetic field battery produced by Xinhui Energy Company, which has higher energy storage and higher stability. Their photovoltaic energy storage batteries basically use this Class battery.
The other type is the graphene battery developed by him at Cornerstone Materials Company. This battery is actually a traditional battery, but uses graphene as a replacement material to allow the positive and negative electrodes of the battery to absorb more charges, thereby enabling Store more electrical energy.
The battery in the hands of Xinhui Energy Company is a new battery idea. It can not only be used for civilian use, but more importantly, it has wider application prospects in the field of military equipment.
Therefore, in order to keep it secret, Xinhui Energy Company produces batteries based on this principle on a large scale for the construction of its own energy storage base. It also provides higher energy density battery products for my country's military equipment.
As for the graphene battery, although it was developed by Cornerstone Materials, the production is still handled by Xinhui Energy Company. Cornerstone Materials only needs to provide the graphene raw materials.
Therefore, the electronic products and electric vehicles currently on the market actually use graphene batteries, because the difficulty of graphene batteries is the preparation of graphene and high-performance electrolytes.
In principle, there is not much innovation. Even if it is known by others, it will not have a big impact. After all, everyone knows the truth. Whether it can be done depends on everyone's technical research and development capabilities.
Without microbial graphene preparation technology, the cost of graphene would be very high, but with microbial preparation technology, the price of graphene would be very low, resulting in the cost of graphene batteries being also very low.
If issues related to energy density are not taken into consideration, the cost of micromagnetic field batteries in the hands of Xinhui Energy Company is much higher than that of graphene batteries. If there are no special requirements, using graphene batteries is the most cost-effective.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Shenlong Motors to launch an electric car worth 20,000 yuan. According to the market price, the cost of the battery alone would be more than that.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yi personally designed a high-energy laser that can generate a high temperature of up to 200 million degrees in 0.01 seconds, and can detonate a hydrogen bomb in an instant.
Using the top-notch micro-magnetic field battery from Xinhui Energy Company, you can provide such a huge amount of energy by just carrying a battery weighing 1 kilogram.
Of course, if you want to extract the power from the battery in such a short period of time, you also need to use special equipment. Zhao Yi also designed it himself. Ordinary equipment cannot meet such requirements.
Although this high-energy laser was just a casual design by him, it has a wide range of uses. For example, it can be used as an ignition device in the field of controlled nuclear fusion.
If further research and utilization can be carried out, it can be used to manufacture laser weapons in the military. I believe that if this high-energy laser is handed over to China Military Industrial Company, it will definitely be used in the development of laser weapons.
The seawater desalination plant built by Fluclight Environmental Management Company in the Middle East produces a large amount of hydrogen isotope materials every year, and these materials are shipped back to China and carefully preserved.
Although the proportion of these hydrogen isotopes in seawater is not high, the amount is very large. The amount of fresh water produced by their desalination plants every year is very large.
Not only are the quantities of hydrogen isotopes considerable, but also other minerals. Not only are there many types, but also with the huge extraction volume of seawater desalination plants, these minerals are also very considerable overall.
For Fluclight Environmental Management Company, these seawater minerals are obtained at no cost. Their cost has been recovered in the desalinated tap water, and they have made a lot of profits.
Therefore, these mineral products are basically pure profits. Among them, hydrogen isotopes have the highest value, but the technical requirements for the preservation of hydrogen isotopes are also the highest.
The hydrogen isotope here refers to tritium, which is radioactive and takes more than 12 years to decay. After complete decay, it will turn into helium 3. Helium 3 can also be used as a raw material for controllable nuclear fusion.
Another isotope of hydrogen, deuterium, is a very stable isotope of hydrogen. It is not radioactive and does not decay. This isotope is actually contained in our daily drinking water.
However, if you drink a large amount of water containing deuterium, when a large amount of hydrogen (protium) in the molecular structure of water in the human body is replaced by deuterium, the replacement rate exceeds 50%, which will also lead to human death.
In fact, under normal circumstances, the deuterium content in the human body is relatively stable. Unless you drink heavy water for a long time, that is, water molecules composed of deuterium and oxygen elements, drinking it for several weeks will increase the deuterium content in the body to such a terrifying level. Degree.
Therefore, the deuterium content in seawater is very high. In addition to making heavy water for sale, the deuterium element in the hands of Fluctlight Environmental Management Company also has a large amount of surplus, which cannot be consumed at all.
Since tritium itself decays, the content in seawater is much lower, and even if it is collected, it will slowly turn into helium 3 if not processed.
These two hydrogen isotopes are both raw materials for making hydrogen bombs. If the country increases the number of strategic reserves of hydrogen bombs, it will be a good thing for Fluclight Environmental Management Company.
There is a large sales market for these hydrogen isotope raw materials. Otherwise, if you keep them in your own hands, in addition to part of them being used as industrial raw materials, the rest will also require a lot of storage costs.
What's even worse is that a large number of seawater desalination plants will be built in China, which will further increase the hydrogen isotopes in the hands of Fluclight Environmental Management Company, which cannot be digested at all, and it is a pity to discard them.
If the country prepares to produce hydrogen bombs on a large scale, it can not only increase our country's strategic deterrence, but also digest the large amount of hydrogen isotopes in the hands of Fluclight Environmental Management Company. It is simply killing two birds with one stone.
Moreover, the combination of hydrogen bombs with scramjets and waverider missiles has simply raised the strategic deterrence to the top. It is estimated that the whole world will fall into a more lasting state of peace.
If it weren't for the hydrogen bomb explosion, there would be a small amount of radiation. He wanted to use it in the Tarim Basin. Compared with using metal nitrogen explosives, it would be more efficient in flattening sand dunes, and the cost would be much lower.
Because the raw materials for making hydrogen bombs are already very abundant, the price will definitely drop significantly. Compared with the effects of hydrogen bombs, the cost per unit energy is much lower than that of metal nitrogen.
However, there is no guarantee that the tritium will completely undergo nuclear fusion after the hydrogen bomb explodes. There will definitely be some residue, which will have a certain radioactive impact on the land.
Although super moss can be used to deal with radioactive materials remaining on the land, it takes more time to deal with, and it is obvious that he personally is not willing to spend time dealing with this.
The transformation of the Tarim Basin cost too much money. He wanted to generate economic benefits from this place as soon as possible to reduce the financial pressure caused by the huge investment.
This is why it was originally said that it would take more than 10 years to carry out the transformation, but he abruptly reduced it to less than 5 years. The longer the delay, the greater the pressure on him.
A considerable part of the current Tarim Basin reconstruction funds come from bank loans. The longer the loan is delayed, the higher the interest cost.
Most of the land in the Tarim Basin will be used for agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry development, although it can use advanced technology to cultivate many high-value cash crops.
But even so, agriculture is agriculture after all and is the foundation of other industries. If the price is too high, it will be very detrimental to the development of other industries, and profits need to be controlled within a certain range.
Even if a certain cash crop has extremely high value, its scale and market are definitely limited. Generally speaking, the profit rate will not be particularly high, unlike industrial products, where the profit is sometimes several times the cost.
For example, the profit of Yade Company's cosmetics is at least five times the cost. It is simply a huge profit industry. It is almost impossible to achieve this in the agricultural field.
Even if he had this condition, he would not dare to do this, otherwise the government and the people would have objections. He is no longer a small businessman and has many more things to consider. To make money, he needs to have a certain degree of control and take care of the interests of all parties.
After reading reports on domestic military development, Zhao Yi sent the high-energy laser and device for quickly extracting battery energy he designed to China Military Industrial Company, and explained the uses of these devices.
To make it so clear, the main reason is that we do not want Huaxia Military Industrial Company to spend too much time on research, and can carry out relevant research work as soon as possible to reduce time consumption. (End of chapter)
