After repeated confirmation, money Zhizhong and two finally determined that they had heard is not the mi knife, but the dragon currency!
Fifty to sixty million dragon coins!
This is a concept of several tens of millions of dragon coins.
To put it this way, the cost of the current in-service Jet-10 and Jet-11 fighter jets of the armed forces is about thirty million dollars each!
At the current exchange rate of 1 to 7, that converts to over 200 million dragon coins!
In other words, the cost of Su Heng's improved Jet-10, improved Jet-11, and improved Jet-21 is only one-third to one-fourth of that of Jet-10 and Jet-11.
Compared to their Jet-20, the cost is even more exaggerated; the cost of the Jet-20 is around 700 million dragon coins.
With a construction cost of 50 to 60 million dragon coins, it is only one-tenth of the cost of the Jet-20!
The cost of their black and white hawk fighters is about 150 million dragon coins each, which converts to over 1 billion dragon coins!
Seeing that Su Heng has no interest in power, Qian Zhizhong and the others can only abandon any thoughts of that nature.
After half an hour, the two finally managed to suppress the excitement in their hearts.
Now the electricity consumption of more than half of the Dongsheng Province is almost supplied by him!
The two gazed intently.
Seawater Desalination Plant?
Su Heng was stunned, and then nodded, saying, "This was several years ago. When I went there to do business, I saw that they were seriously short of water. Fortunately, I have seawater desalination technology. So I contacted the responsible people of the Sahara Camel and made contact with Modarrahaner. Then I invested a seawater desalination plant there."
Su Heng is like a bottomless pit; no matter how much one digs, it seems there's always more to be uncovered.
No matter what it is, the most expensive thing is research and development costs. Almost all high-tech products or industrial products need to consider the cost of research and development.
Su Heng seems to have no interest in power at all.
Even though the scale of these thirty or forty freshwater plants is not as large as Sahara Camel's, even a fraction of that would still be an astonishing number!
That's not fear, but excitement! Unparalleled excitement!
"By the way!"
A tenth of the cost, that's absurd!
Simply put, other people's technology is the sum of countless research costs, while Su Heng is the sum of research costs!
The two are completely incomparable.
Although everyone is like a family within the National Defense Army, there's still an inevitable element of competition among them.
Even more than ordinary elements, special elements like deuterium, Su Heng can also extract. No one knows that Su Heng has been extracting these materials all along. Even the Sahara Camels only know that Su Heng can desalinate seawater and turn it into potable freshwater...
"I'm certain of that."
They really didn't know what to thank Su Heng with.
Then he turned his gaze back to Su Heng, saying, "Xiao Su, what was that about your fire-fighting drones? You mentioned earlier that those drones could carry rockets? What kind of tricks are you up to?"
He really has no interest in power at all. Compared to these, he prefers technology.
"Good! Excellent!"
Including the seawater desalination plants, even the previous mech suits and fire drones!
Oh, energy costs can be ignored. His industrial park has its own power plant, which is not short of electricity. In fact, he not only has no shortage of electricity but can also send the surplus power outside.
"……” In the face of Su Heng's response, Qian Zhizhong and the others fell silent.
Despite having asked and confirmed it again and again, he still cannot believe the price he heard.
Indeed, Qin Shan has not been able to recruit Su Heng to the Navy, but it seems they cannot recruit him either.
At this moment, the two were almost unable to control their emotions, and whispers filled with evident excitement kept emerging from their mouths.
Just as the two of them were gaping, Su Heng waved his hand and continued, "This is nothing. Actually, apart from Sahara Camel, there are other camels in the neighboring camel herd such as A Camel, Tower Camel, Elephant Camel and even Mummy Camel. I have invested in quite a few water plants there. In particular, the water from Tower Camel's side is almost entirely supplied by me..."
Su Heng can separate most of these materials and utilize them.
They are soldiers, and they actually don't know much about civilian affairs.
Finally, the remaining cost is only material fees. Su Heng can't do anything about it, he isn't a god who can create things out of thin air. He has to buy these basic materials.
If Su Heng agreed to this, then he would become a member of the Navy now!
Thinking about these things, the two suddenly felt a sense of relief, thanking their luck that Su Heng had not agreed.
Thinking about fire drones and mech suits, Qian Zhizhong's heart stirred.
Moreover, his daily life is now full of activities. He wishes he could use one day twice. How can he have time to deal with such nonsense?
However, in a moment of reflection, Qian Zhizhong and the others couldn't help but show a wry smile.
Under the gaze of Qian Zhizhong and the others, Su Heng calmly introduced the details of the seawater desalination factory.
Looking at the two sighing, Su Heng smiled and said nothing more.
This kind of healthy comparison is implicitly permitted within the organization, as there can be no competition without comparison, and with competition comes the thought of better development...
Even a flight helmet and the chair under the pilot's buttocks, as well as the flight suit they wear, all require consideration of design and research costs.
There are eighty-plus elements in seawater!
The impurities removed from the seawater after desalination in those seawater desalination plants are all recyclable here.
Of course, he can save the most cost in this aspect. Don't forget about Sahara Camel's seawater desalination plant.
After thinking for a moment, Qian Zhizhong said:
"Xiao Su, before Modarrahaner said that you built a seawater desalination plant in their area. What is this about? Can you explain?"
"Eighty billion cubic meters a year?"
"Carbon fiber materials don't require research and development investment, stealth paint doesn't require research and development investment, radar flight control and other things don't require research and development investment!"
One step by one step, all the costs are saved except for basic material costs, labor and energy costs.
It's really boring; why not just keep a few electronic crickets?
Otherwise, the Navy's tail would be flying high in the sky now. In the future, when they meet, the old man would surely flaunt and boast to them. Who could stand that?
The more they delve into the understanding of Su Heng, the more they are amazed.
Hearing Su Heng's words, Qian Zhizhong and Tang Jian Chen both looked stunned.
In the minds of Qian Zhizhong and the others, countless ideas flashed past.
"Five to six million? That's good, five to six million!"
"Right" before Qian Zhizhong finished speaking, Tang Jian Chen's voice directly echoed: "Xiao Su, come to our People's Liberation Army Air Force"
The intensity of their excitement made Su Heng shiver involuntarily.
As for labor, ninety percent of his production lines are intelligent production lines, with industrial robots operating the production lines. Less than ten percent of the work is done by humans.
Retarder cable, carbon fiber, "Wild Hog Drone", double-tailed drone, strategic submarines, rockets, satellites...
Su Heng's seawater desalination plant supplies almost five-tenths of the water of a single Dragon Country reservoir in a year!
And Su Heng, by chance, is the one who needs the least research and development investment!
Similarly, labor costs are also shockingly low!
Exchanging a glance, Qian Zhizhong and the others saw a trace of intense amazement in each other's eyes.
The same goes for fighter jets; the design and development of the jet itself, the engine design and development, the design and development of the airframe material, radar, avionics, flight control, fire control...
Counting the countless research and development investments, the cost of fighter jets is naturally sky-high!
Facing repeated questions, Su Heng nodded vigorously and responded confidently.
The money to make one F-15E is enough to build twenty J-10A, J-10B, J-10C, J-10D, and J-10E.
"Xiao Su, are you sure that's the cost?"
Hearing what Su Heng said, Qian Zhizhong and Tang Jian Chen's hearts tightened.
They had never expected that Qin Shan had already issued an invitation before them.
After that, the two exchanged a glance, then turned their attention to Su Heng and said:
"Xiao Su, come to our People's Liberation Army Air Force. I will personally write a recommendation for you, and if you come, I will at least try to get you a flower! A real one with power!"
There are too many incredible things about Su Heng!
"What does this kid have hidden up his sleeve?"
If it were anyone else, if they made such a promise and it was a flower with actual power, not a hundred percent of people would agree without hesitation, but at least ninety-nine point nine percent of people would agree without hesitation!
"Ah..."
But they also know how terrifying the number of 8 billion cubic meters is. After all, the largest reservoir in China, which is considered a strategic project, has a capacity of just over 30 billion and less than 40 billion cubic meters.
For a long time, Qian Zhizhong, still somewhat hesitant, couldn't help but ask again.
Finally, they all gathered into that blanket of fourth-generation and a half, and even fifth-generation fighter jets, as well as those swarms of double-tailed drones like a swarm of bees!
Just thinking about that overwhelming scene, Qian Zhizhong and the others couldn't help but tremble slightly.
They had never expected that Su Heng's business would be so big!
A single water plant can produce 8 billion cubic meters of freshwater, so how many can three to four dozen produce?
Once again receiving Su Heng's affirmative response, the excitement on Qian Zhizhong and the others' faces could no longer be contained.
Hastily said: "Money Old, Qin Old had already invited me before, but I didn't go. I'm used to being idle and can't stand too much restriction, so I can only say sorry."
"This seawater desalination plant has been developed over the years and can now provide almost 8 billion cubic meters of freshwater to Sahara Camels annually..."
Thinking about this, Qian Zhizhong and the others sighed slightly.
"Then there's your mech. How did you make that mech? It can even move! Do you still have any of those? Can it be mass-produced?"
Looking at Su Heng, one question after another came out of Qian Zhizhong's mouth.
