Thirty Entrepreneurship: Recycling of second-hand aircraft carriers at the beginning

Chapter 413 Outperforming others
He took a look at the J-10, a veteran fighter jet that is very familiar to military fans.

At this time, the system "dinged" again and began to introduce the performance and current status of this fighter to Lin Chen.

"The J-10 fighter is a third-generation fighter independently developed as a lightweight, multi-functional, supersonic, all-weather fighter with a canard layout." The system introduced, "It is in a brand new state and does not require maintenance, but its attributes can be increased."

Lin Chen was not satisfied with just increasing the attributes, he wanted to know if there were any new abilities that could be developed. So he asked the system: "Are there any new abilities that can be unlocked?"

The system responded quickly: "Yes, there are currently two new ability options." Then, a virtual panel appeared in front of Lin Chen.

【Body invisible material+】

【Change to curvature engine+】

"Master, which one do you choose? Three million US dollars each." said the system.

Lin Chen frowned. He obviously couldn't ask Liu Dingcang for money right now. He was thinking whether to pay for it himself first and then earn it back from other places, or to ask Liu Dingcang about the expenses right now.

According to his consistent principles, Lin Chen decided to confront Liu Dingcang. This is just the cost of adding new options. If the original attributes of the J-10 are enhanced, the price will be relatively low.

He first asked about all the prices of the system and then gave Liu Dingcang a quote.

"What other attributes can it add?" Lin Chen asked.

The virtual panel is displayed again:

【Vector engine thrust + () point】

[Aerodynamic shape optimization + () points]

[Fill the cabin with deep sea acceleration fluid + () points]

The point fee remained the same as before. After the quote was basically clear, Lin Chen turned to look at Liu Dingcang: "I can't just conjure something out of thin air, it still costs money."

Liu Dingcang had expected Lin Chen to say this, and responded with a smile: "Just give me your quote, and then tell me what features you can add."

During their conversation, the researchers nearby all widened their eyes. For them, although R&D projects all have an expected goal, the actual implementation requires overcoming countless difficulties. But for Lin Chen, those difficulties seem to be less important. As long as you want something, you can get it with Lin Chen by spending some money.

In addition to admiring Lin Chen, several researchers also felt a little ashamed of their own abilities.

Lin Chen always believed that he was better than his teacher, but he never realized that the reason why he could do so well was actually inseparable from the strong support of the system. Lin Chen never thought of sharing this with others.

"We can make a series of basic upgrades to the aircraft," he said, his fingers gently running across the huge fuselage beside him, "For example, filling the cabin with deep-sea acceleration fluid, optimizing the aerodynamic shape, and increasing the thrust of the vector engine. All of these can be done for only two million."

He patted the heavy fuselage, but did not get any special response. Only the real touch seemed to respond to him.

"Of course, in addition to this, we can also consider using stealth materials or even replacing the curvature engine," Lin Chen continued.

Hearing the words "warp drive", someone nearby couldn't help but interject: "This is not that simple. If you pile all the good stuff together, you might end up with something that looks weird."

Another person echoed: "Yeah, we also have to consider cost and practicality."

"As practicality improves, costs will naturally increase accordingly." Lin Chen continued, "But the two are not irreconcilable. We can find a win-win solution."

After saying this, Lin Chen felt a little regretful. He realized that the people in front of him were all veterans who were working on the front line of scientific research, and his words just now might have seemed a little arrogant.

He restrained his edge and observed the reactions of his predecessors. Unexpectedly, the predecessors did not blame him, but burst into warm applause.

"The young are to be feared!" said one of the seniors with a smile.

"Yeah, most people wouldn't dare to express their opinions so easily." Another person echoed.

"Lin Chen, you are very good." A senior patted him on the shoulder. "In fact, we asked you to come here this time not because we really want you to transform anything, but because we want everyone to see your ability. As expected, you did not disappoint us."

Lin Chen suddenly realized that the discussion about fighter jets was just a joke played by his predecessors. Although the joke was a bit too much, it also made him feel the kindness and cordiality of his predecessors.

He shook his head helplessly, looking at the people in front of him, a warm feeling welled up in his heart. Liu Dingcang also smiled and said to him: "Several seniors said that they haven't seen you for a long time, I want to play a joke on you to liven up the atmosphere."

Although Lin Chen was a little unhappy, he felt relieved when he thought that the other party had no ill intentions. He smiled at everyone, and the atmosphere became more harmonious.

Fang Weihai reminded: "Should we change planes and leave?"

"Okay." Liu Dingcang responded.

The group prepared to go to the next destination. In a relaxed and happy atmosphere, they talked about more topics.

Liu Dingcang said to Lin Chen earnestly: "The last time we mentioned the Mirage fighter..."

When Lin Chen heard this, he immediately became serious. He knew that although the Mirage fighter he made was still a certain distance away from the F22, its performance and value had already surpassed the control of the United States.

"This can actually be a win-win situation," Liu Dingcang continued.

"I know the country has its own considerations." Lin Chen responded, "I just want to know to what extent information sharing will be achieved?"

"Since it is a joint research and development, it is true sharing," Liu Dingcang explained, "there will be no reservations."

Lin Chen had a clear mind after hearing this. He understood that although he didn't have to share all the technologies without reservation, at the same technical level, it would not affect the overall situation if he adjusted some of them appropriately.

Afterwards, they met with the scientific research team and military representatives of the Bear Country. Officials and researchers of equal rank from both sides gathered together to discuss cooperation.

Liu Dingcang and General Edward of the Bear Country talked cordially like old friends. Fang Weihai explained: "They were good friends when they were young, but they both stood firm for the sake of national interests."

Lin Chen was full of expectations for this cooperation. He had in-depth exchanges with Edward, who, despite his high position, did not put on airs and often came to Lin Chen to discuss scientific research issues.

Lin Chen always responded with a smile: "You still have to ask your researchers about scientific research. Ask them to come over and I will explain it to them."

During the cooperation, Lin Chen did not put too much pressure on the technical level. He only made minor adjustments to the power system, energy tank, weapons and equipment avionics system, etc. to ensure the smooth progress of the cooperation.

Edwardt attached great importance to this cooperation. Even though Lin Chen told him that he needed to find researchers to answer the questions, he would still come to Lin Chen to listen to the explanation.

Lin Chen stood in front of the newly prepared prototype and gave a detailed introduction to the researchers from the Bear Country: "The materials we used this time have gone a step further, ensuring flexibility and a small radar cross-sectional area."

Everyone knows that a small radar cross-sectional area means better stealth effect. The people of the Bear Country are no exception, and they all ask Lin Chen about radar technology.

Lin Chen explained: "Although the cost has increased, it is definitely lower than the F22 of the United States, and the effect is comparable." Everyone knows that all the test data will be made public, and the performance is clear at a glance. During this cooperation, Lin Chen noticed a young man named Tom.

Although Tom was young, he was full of enthusiasm for scientific research. When Lin Chen saw him studying and comparing experimental data in his spare time, he went over to talk to him.

When Tom saw Lin Chen coming, he looked excited and admired: "Are you here to inspect the work?"

He spoke very standard Chinese, which surprised Lin Chen a little.

"How come you speak Chinese so well?" Lin Chen asked, "Have you been to China before?"

Tom shook his head: "I taught myself. This is my first time in China, but after I taught myself for a while, I hired a Chinese teacher, so I can speak it so well."

Lin Chen looked at the young man in front of him with admiration in his heart. He knew that young people like Tom were the future stars needed in scientific research.

Such a young person is able to participate in such an important scientific research project, obviously he has extraordinary abilities.

When everyone found out that Lin Chen could easily pass Tom's speed calculation test, and that Tom could always get the results of those complex and difficult experimental data in a very short time, and without relying on any external assistance, they all looked at him with admiration.

There is no doubt that he is an outstanding team player.

The cooperation between them has always been very pleasant.

After several days of intense technical exchanges, we entered the actual production stage.

This stage will undoubtedly take longer.

After finally getting a day off, Lin Chen was feeling a little sleepy and was about to take a nap when his cell phone suddenly rang.

This was not a normal resting time, but Lin Chen did not blame the person who disturbed his sweet dream.

He picked up the phone and saw that it was Liu Hai calling.

I guess it has something to do with the mechanical dogs and drones that were shipped back last time.

Lin Chen answered the phone and called out politely, "Leader."

"Don't be so formal, I'm just a staff officer. I mainly want to talk to you about the mechanical dog and drone last time!" Liu Hai said on the other end of the phone.

Lin Chen had already guessed something in his mind, but he still waited for the other party to speak first.

Liu Hai's voice was filled with excitement: "We have tried it out at the border, and the effect is very good! The drone and the robot dog work together to detect situations over a large area."

"That's great!" Lin Chen was also sincerely happy.

"We now need thirty mechanical dogs and fifteen drones. Please calculate the cost and give me a price." Liu Hai continued.

"The total amount is 27 million. The initial ammunition here is enough for you. If you need extra ammunition in the future, you will have to buy it separately." Lin Chen thought for a moment and quickly gave a quote.

After listening to this, Liu Hai raised a question: "Regarding the issue of ammunition, I wonder if it must be incompatible with other models?"

"Do you mean whether there is a universal model for my ammunition and the ammunition for other weapons?" Lin Chen asked back to confirm.

Lin Chen had never considered the issue of ammunition compatibility. After all, different types of weapons often require specific ammunition, and the ammunition itself has different levels and specifications.

The ammunition depot used by the mechanical dog is indeed different from that of other products.

Liu Hai further elaborated on his thoughts: "This is just my personal opinion. If you can make some improvements in this regard, I believe the effect will be better."

Lin Chen responded seriously: "You are right. Once we decide to use something, the ammunition models in the entire industry chain may have to be unified according to mine."

This is Lin Chen's real idea. Once mass production begins, there must be a unified model standard, and this standard can only be set by oneself.

After hearing this, Liu Hai smiled and responded: "It seems that I didn't think it through. But then again, when will the goods I want arrive?"

"The goods will be delivered to your Southwest Military Region Headquarters within a week." Lin Chen answered promptly.

"I didn't expect it to be so fast." Liu Hai was a little surprised.

Lin Chen did not explain too much. In his opinion, robot dogs and drones are relatively mature products and do not require too much time.

Previous mechanical dogs and drones were made of common military machinery materials, which were not difficult to purchase.

Therefore, there are great advantages in cost control.

In addition, the order quantity is not large, so even if other intelligent systems are added, they are selected within the range of optimal cost-effectiveness.

The two had a very pleasant conversation and the order was successfully finalized.

Not long after he hung up the phone, Lin Chen's account received the full amount of 27 million.

Looking at the numbers displayed on the phone interface, Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh: "Paying in full is different!"

The cooperation project with China and Mozambique is progressing steadily, but Lin Chen does not need to be involved all the time. He will only get involved when it involves certain technical consultations.

In this way, Lin Chen had relatively more time. He became a free man and returned to Linhai City.

It just so happened that the orders from the Southwest Military Region also needed to be processed and completed in the factory.

During the several days of non-stop work, Lin Chen was unable to go to the crew.

The two could only meet when Fang Lan did not have night scenes at night.

That day, Fang Lan saw Lin Chen writing and drawing on the notebook, so she curiously went over to take a look. As usual, she couldn't understand the specific content, but when the finished product came out, she could see what the machine looked like.

Lin Chen stopped what he was doing, looked up and asked Fang Lan: "Have you finished filming Teacher Anfia's scenes?"

"It's only been a few days, not yet, but it will be soon. She doesn't have many scenes anyway." Fang Lan responded, while looking at Lin Chen, "Why?
