Are you touching me in the military industry? I sell fishing rods!

Chapter 339: Golden Crow 330! The gold-devouring beast!
At this moment, Qian Zhizhong and the other two were extremely grateful that Su Heng was from Long Village. If Su Heng was from any other village, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Just imagine, Long Village is already so far behind the rest of the world. If a tough guy like Su Heng appears outside, what kind of situation will Long Village face?
If we don’t handle it properly, what happened in the last century may happen again in Longcun!
Qian Zhizhong and the other two had no doubt that given the aggressiveness of ocean civilizations, this kind of thing would definitely happen again!
"Xiao Su, tell us about your Nantianmen nuclear fusion power system..."

After a long while, Qian Zhizhong and the other two suppressed their distracting thoughts and spoke with forced composure.

Hearing this, Su Heng nodded slightly and said:
"Taking safety and stability into consideration, I designed two small controlled nuclear fusion reactors for Nantianmen. I named these two controlled nuclear fusion reactors Jinwu 330..."

"Each reactor can provide sufficient energy supply for all equipment of Nantianmen, including engines, magnetic levitation power devices, electromagnetic weapons, laser weapons, radars, intelligent systems, etc."

"The stable output energy of a Jinwu 330 reactor can meet the energy needs of a city with a population of million!"

???

Energy for a city with a population of 20 million?
Hearing the number Su Heng said, Qian Zhizhong and the other two couldn't help but widen their eyes.

“Xiao Su, are you sure it’s a 20 million-level city, not a 2 million-level city?”

Almost subconsciously, Qin Shan couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, in fact, if it is under the extreme output, a Jinwu 330 reactor can even continuously provide a super-large city with a population of million with stable energy output for at least half a month!"

"Hiss..." After hearing what Su Heng said, Qian Zhizhong and the other two couldn't help but take a breath.

The shock on his face could not be concealed at all.

A city with a population of 50 million, what does that mean?
Since the development of Long Village, there has not been a city of this level so far!

And this is the population including migrant workers!

If we only count the permanent population, then the several first-tier cities in Longcun combined can barely reach this standard!

It's not just Long Village. You won't find a super city of this scale anywhere in the world!

But now Su Heng told them that the energy output of a Jinwu 330 small controlled nuclear fusion reactor could actually meet the energy needs of a city with a population of million!
This is simply appalling!
Even though the person who said this was Su Heng, they still found it unbelievable!

Just as they were shocked, Su Heng's voice sounded again:

"But the price of doing so is that the life of Jinwu 330 will drop sharply. According to my design standards, the normal service life of Jinwu 330 is sixty years, but if the maximum output is maintained for half a month, the life of Jinwu 330 will drop to twenty years! If the maximum output state is maintained for more than a month, Jinwu 330 will be directly scrapped!"

There was a hint of regret in Su Heng's words.

He seemed disappointed with the immaturity of his own skills.

However, after hearing what Su Heng said, Qian Zhizhong and the other two couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Although according to what Su Heng said, if the maximum output is maintained for half a month, the life of the Jinwu 330 will be reduced to twenty years, and if the maximum output is maintained for one month, it will be scrapped.

But that is the limit output!

It's just like the afterburner state of a fighter jet's engine. Which fighter jet would keep the afterburner open all the time to allow the engine to overclock?

Which engine can withstand long-term overclocking output?
For example, the old polar bear’s stainless steel fighter was chased by the black and white eagle’s missiles. Although it finally got rid of the missiles, the engine of the fighter was directly scrapped after it returned!

Who would do that if it wasn't an emergency?

According to Su Heng, under normal use, the lifespan of Jinwu 330 is sixty years!
What does sixty years mean?
It takes a person from birth until the age of sixty to consume the lifespan of a Golden Crow for 330 seconds!

To put it bluntly, Su Heng's Golden Crow 330 is more than enough to outlast a generation of old men!
On the blue planet, this service life is unprecedented!
For example, the nuclear fission reactor of the Black and White Hawk's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, although its nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is said to have unlimited endurance.

But the lifespan of its nuclear reactor is only thirty or forty years!

Even the Fu-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that Black and White Eagle Village has not yet built, the lifespan of its publicly disclosed nuclear reactor is only fifty years!
Moreover, these are only the data disclosed by the Black and White Eagle Village itself. As for the actual number, based on the usual nature of the Black and White Eagle Village, or based on the usual nature of those arms dealers, it is estimated that there will be a discount in the past fifty years!
As for Su Heng, based on their past understanding of Su Heng, the sixty years that Su Heng mentioned must be the real sixty years!
And according to actual data, this number will only be more, not less, in the next sixty years!
In the past, everything Su Heng brought out was basically like this. Others were eager to praise their own products to the sky. For example, the maximum load capacity of aircraft, the maximum load capacity mentioned by others was the maximum load capacity at the expense of other performance such as range.

The maximum load capacity that Su Heng mentioned is the maximum load capacity without sacrificing other performance!
Conversely, the maximum ranges are also the maximum ranges without sacrificing maximum load and other performance!
The data is simply abnormal!
However, even though Jinwu 330 already had such abnormal data, Su Heng's tone still contained a hint of disappointment? ?

Is this serious?
After a long time, Qian Zhizhong and the other two finally recovered after a bitter smile, and then Qian Zhizhong couldn't help but said again:

"Xiao Su, the output of the Jinwu 330 is so huge, does Nantianmen need such a large power output? Wouldn't it be too wasteful?"

Hearing this, Su Heng shook his head slightly and said:
"Mr. Qian, the energy demand of Nantianmen may be much greater than you think!"

"According to my design, the Nantianmen will be 1,100 meters long, 350 meters wide, and 160 meters high. It will carry more than a thousand fighters and bombers of various types, as well as a large number of combat equipment including Chengying mechas!"

"In addition, the Nantianmen will also be equipped with four high-power electromagnetic cannons, six high-power laser pulse cannons, sixty small and medium-sized electromagnetic close-in defense cannons, one hundred small and medium-sized laser close-in defense cannons, a super-large plasma generator, and an internal life support system..."

"All of these things are big energy consumers, especially the ten high-power electromagnetic cannons and laser pulse cannons. According to my design, if they are fully fired, the energy consumption of any of these things will not be lower than that of a Longyuan battleship!"

"There are also those high-power radars and other equipment. The internal combat systems and intelligent systems such as the radar of Nantianmen consume even more energy!"

"In addition to these, there are more important things like Nan Tianmen's power engines and magnetic levitation power devices. Nan Tianmen's power engines are three fluidless fusion engines. Like the magnetic levitation power devices, the energy of these engines is all provided by Jinwu 330. When Nan Tianmen is moving at full speed, two-thirds of Jinwu's energy will be occupied by these engines and the magnetic levitation power devices!"

"If it weren't for the cost factor, I would even like to add two more Jinwu 330 reactors!"

After hearing what Su Heng said, the corners of Qian Zhizhong and the other two's mouths twitched slightly.

Okay, okay, high-power electromagnetic, high-power laser pulse cannon, large plasma generator, internal life support system, fluidless fusion engine... Listen, what are these things?
"Xiao Su, are you sure that what you are building is an airborne aircraft platform, not a space battleship?"

Until one moment, Qin Shan finally couldn't help but speak directly.

Although they had proposed the Nantianmen before, and even passed on the so-called "Nantianmen Plan" to the Black and White Eagle Village!

But those things are bullshit!
And even if it's not bullshit, what does their plan compare to Su Heng's South Heaven Gate?
Su Heng calls this thing an aerial platform?
This is a real space battleship!

"Space battleship?"

Su Heng was stunned when he heard what Qin Shan said.

Then he shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. Qin, although the Nantianmen is very advanced, it still cannot reach the standard of a space battleship at present. Moreover, I did not consider it as a space battleship at the beginning. From the beginning to the end, it is just an aerial platform!"

"Let's not talk about other aspects first. In the surface area below 20,000 meters, the maximum flight speed of Nan Tianmen can only reach 500 kilometers per hour. This is the limit of the materials I can design at present. If it is higher, I can't achieve it in a short time. If I force the speed of Nan Tianmen to exceed 500 kilometers, there will only be one result, that is, Nan Tianmen will disintegrate!"

"As for the electromagnetic and laser weapons above, they are just defensive weapons I prepared for it to prevent it from being attacked by missiles and other weapons, that's all..."

That's it? ?
After listening to what Su Heng said, Qian Zhizhong and the other two fell silent again.

At a certain moment, the three of them couldn't help but feel the urge to beat someone up again.

For some reason, they suddenly felt that Su Heng's attitude of dissatisfaction with their work was so annoying.

It's like a billionaire saying to a starving beggar, "I have no concept of money and I have no interest in money!"
And now, Su Heng is like the billionaire, and they are like the hungry beggars!
"call……"

"Don't be impulsive. Don't use violence. This is a precious treasure. We can't break it. If we break it, we will become criminals and we will be sorry for the village and the people..."

After taking several deep breaths, Qian Zhizhong and the other two forced themselves to calm down for a while before finally suppressing the urge to hit Su Heng.

He forced a smile and said:
"Xiao Su, let's talk about something else. We don't understand the technical aspects. What is the purpose of you calling us here this time? You didn't ask us to come here just to see your achievements, did you?"

Facing the question, Su Heng shook his head and said, "Of course not. I have said before that the design of Nantianmen has not been fully worked out yet. Now I have only completed the specific design of the intelligent system, electromagnetic weapons, laser weapons and power system. Everything else is just a mathematical model..."

"There are two reasons why we invited you, Mr. Qian, to come here this time. One is that we want to start building the equipment and components related to the South Heaven Gate in advance!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Zhizhong and the other two seemed to be thinking about something.

At this time, Su Heng continued:
"The Nan Tian Men project is too huge. It is not realistic to build it all together. Apart from other things, the money needed for construction alone is not something we can afford now. To be honest, this thing is too expensive! I even think that with our current economic situation, there is no need to launch a project like the Nan Tian Men..."

"So in addition to the idea of ​​starting to build the equipment and components related to the South Heaven Gate in advance, another purpose of inviting you, Mr. Qian, to come here this time is to consult your opinions on whether we really want to start the construction of the South Heaven Gate at this time..."

In response to Su Heng's question, Qian Zhizhong and the other two looked at each other, and then fell into deep thought.

After a long while, Qian Zhizhong raised his head, cast his gaze towards Su Heng, and asked in a deep voice: "Xiao Su, can you tell us roughly how much does Nantianmen cost?"

Su Heng pondered for a moment and said, "Let's not talk about other things for now. Just the power system of Nantianmen, the non-processing fusion engine, with our current industrial infrastructure, the cost of one engine is at least 8 billion dragon coins!"

"There is also a magnetic levitation power system. The cost of a magnetic levitation power device is conservatively estimated to be no less than 10 billion! And there are five such magnetic levitation power devices on the Nantianmen!"

"Then there is the Jinwu 330 small nuclear fusion reactor. This technology is already very mature here, so its cost is relatively low. The cost of a Jinwu 330 is estimated to be about billion dragon coins..."

Following Su Heng's voice, numbers blurted out from Su Heng's mouth one after another.

As the numbers appeared one by one, the corners of Qian Zhizhong and the other two's mouths couldn't help but twitch again.

One engine costs 8 billion, three costs 24 billion!

One magnetic levitation power device costs a conservative 10 billion, and five of them would cost 50 billion!

Adding the Jinwu 330, that is to say, the cost of the Jinwu just for the power system is nearly billion!

There is also the weapon system that Su Heng mentioned.

The cost of a high-power electromagnetic cannon is over a billion, and the cost of a high-power laser pulse cannon is also close to a billion!
The total cost of ten such main guns is as high as tens of billions!
The total cost of the other electromagnetic cannons and laser cannons is nearly 190 billion!

All in all, the cost of the power system and weapon system alone is conservatively estimated to be close to 300 billion!
This is just the power system and weapon system!
This does not include other miscellaneous things such as the life support system, airborne weapons, radar and even the main body of Nantianmen itself that Su Heng mentioned before.

If all these things are taken into account, how much would it cost?

Thinking of this, whether it was Qian Zhizhong, Qin Shan, or Qiao Zhenhai, all three of them felt their scalps tingling!
At this moment, they almost understood why Su Heng did not recommend building the South Gate of Heaven now.

According to Su Heng's estimation, the cost of this thing is simply not something that Long Village can afford now!

After all is built, the cost of a Nantianmen Gate would probably be equal to the annual military expenditure of their Long Village!
Maybe even worse than that!

And that’s just the construction cost!
This does not include subsequent maintenance costs!
If you add those in, it would probably be an astronomical figure!
Who can stand this?
