Chapter 162 Do you still have T800?

"Tell me the truth, how much does your production line produce per year?"

Admiral Hai hesitated for a moment, then explained, "The current T700 production line has an annual production capacity of tons."

"Our carbon fiber fishing rods have a stable market share, with 5,000 tons used up each year, leaving 25,000 tons."

"I didn't expect that even your air force and the all-carbon car body combined couldn't consume it."

Although it is hurtful to say this, this is the reality at the moment.

The Air Force leaders and experts present all gasped, and everyone suspected that they were hallucinating.

How many?

Annual output of 30,000 tons?

From the sound of it, it seems that they are still reducing production capacity and being more conservative in production.

Qian Weize couldn't help but ask, "If you run this production line at full capacity, how much will it produce per year?"

"Not much. If we produce at full capacity, the annual output will only be 100,000 tons."

"This is just a small amount, which completely exceeds the market demand. Overcapacity is also a burden for our manufacturers." Admiral Hai said with some headache.

Carbon fiber, especially T700 carbon fiber, is difficult to enter the market due to its high price.

Especially for Guangwei Fishing Tackle Factory, it is not well-known, so it is extremely difficult to open up the market.

When Qian Weize heard the number of 100,000 tons, the corners of his mouth twitched.

He finally understood why the United States did not include Guangwei Fishing Tackle Factory in its overseas markets.

Last year, the global production of T700 carbon fiber was just over tons, and the market demand was also around tons.

If the carbon fiber produced by Guangwei Fishing Tackle Factory enters the global market, the price of this carbon fiber will definitely be cut in half in an instant.

At this time, the Air Force leader's mouth was almost crooked with smiles.

He looked at the T700 carbon fiber production line in front of him and couldn't let it go.

We were still dealing with the deadly problem that was choking us, but we didn't expect that we would have a headache because of overcapacity here.

This foreigner has been using high-end carbon fiber to tie his own neck for so long, but who would have thought that he was actually wearing his sweater backwards.

He held Li Yunfei's hand and said earnestly, "Director Li, since you have such a high output, I won't be polite to you!"

"Fifty thousand tons a year, that shouldn't be difficult, right?"

The Air Force really cannot digest an annual output of 100,000 tons. The number of new aircraft each year is limited, but 50,000 tons is still no problem.

Li Yunfei was surprised when he heard the number: "Leader, then it's a deal!"

If I had known that the Air Force would place such a large order, I wouldn’t have worried about overcapacity!

In order for the T700 carbon fiber production line to break even, the minimum annual output must be maintained at tons.

With the 50,000-ton order from the Air Force as a foundation, he is confident that he can make Guangwei Fishing Tackle Factory a listed company.

After all, the difficulty of selecting by the Air Force and then opening up the domestic market will definitely be reduced by an order of magnitude.

By then, we will be able to gradually get involved in not only fishing rods and all-carbon car bodies, but also fields such as high-end sports equipment, construction engineering, and medical equipment.

If we work harder, maybe the domestic market will be able to absorb the 100,000 tons of production capacity.

"Xiao Li, don't be too happy too soon. Your production capacity is still a bit low."

"An annual output of 100,000 tons is not enough. The 50,000 tons I just mentioned is only for our air force."

"The Navy, the Second Artillery Corps, and the Shenzhou Aerospace Corporation are also major customers of carbon fiber."

"The remaining 50,000 tons of output is not enough for them to share. You have to set aside some production capacity to make fishing rods and all-carbon car bodies." The Air Force leader looked at the surprised Li Yunfei and reminded him.

For these aerospace units, other materials can be used, but there is no alternative to carbon fiber.

Since it is available and is made entirely domestically, why not use it? By then, even if the annual output is doubled, let alone 100,000 tons, it may not be enough, not to mention the private demand.

Li Yunfei heard this and said with a smile: "It's okay, one production line is not enough, I can just build another one!"

"Besides, our T800 carbon fiber production technology is about to achieve a breakthrough."

"By then, no matter if the production capacity is insufficient, we will definitely have to build another production line."

If T700 carbon fiber can represent Bluestar's current highest carbon fiber technology, then T800 carbon fiber only exists in theory.

Theoretically speaking, the difference between T800 and T700 carbon fiber is just like the difference between 4G and 5G mobile phones.

When Li Yunfei said this, everyone present was stunned.

Zhao Zhenghe was very familiar with this feeling.

This is just like our own equipment design bureau. All weapons and equipment are equipped in one generation, demonstrated in one generation, and pre-researched in one generation.

He couldn't help but ask, "Nephew, your T800 carbon fiber research results are about to come out, so has the preliminary research work on T900 or T1000 carbon fiber already begun?"

Li Yunfei frowned when he heard this.

He didn't know much about the Guangwei Fishing Tackle Factory.

That is to say, I have seen it in a report before, which said that T800 carbon fiber is about to be successfully researched, but I really don’t know anything else.

Admiral Hai and Smith were both greatly shocked.

Because T800 carbon fiber has entered the testing phase, the research on the new generation T1000 carbon fiber is now on the right track.

This news is currently kept absolutely confidential. Except for the person in charge of the factory laboratory, even the factory director doesn’t know about it. How did the other party know about it?

Seeing this, Zhao Zhenghe sighed and said, "Don't be surprised, I'm just guessing."

"Your scientific research ability is really good. If you are one step slow, you will be slow at every step. We are indeed lagging behind in the field of carbon fiber."

The Equipment Design Bureau's carbon fiber research and development has not yet gotten on the right track. The T300 has not yet been developed, but others have already started working on the T1000.

This news made the technical experts and Shenqiang present feel a little disappointed.

Especially Qian Weize, as the leader, felt a pressure that was difficult to resist.

"Mr. Qian, we did start late in the field of carbon fiber, but I believe that our scientific research capabilities are no worse than those of foreign countries!"

"When we looked at foreign countries back then, we saw aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, and space stations. Aren't they all top-notch stuff? Look at us now, what don't we have?" Zhao Zhenghe said comfortingly.

Smith listened and couldn't help but complain: "Boss, can you please stop doing this? We have been researching carbon fiber since the 1990s."

"We have been researching for more than 30 years now, so it's normal to have a leading edge. You guys are putting a lot of pressure on us!"

From a foreign perspective, the flower grower does look like a monster.

A hundred years ago, it was poor and weak, but a hundred years later, it has become the most powerful industrial country in human history.

According to the current global birth rate, it will be difficult for any country to break this record in the future.

It took only seventy years to narrow the gap. This experience looks like the story of the protagonist's counterattack in a cool novel.

Admiral Hai looked at Smith, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "There's nothing I can do. From your perspective, there are more than 200 countries on the Blue Planet besides you."

"But from our perspective, there is only one foreign country on the Blue Planet besides us. If we are not technologically advanced, we are lagging behind."

"If you fall behind, you will be beaten, so you have to work hard!"

Smith scratched his head. As an American, it was hard for him to understand the saying that if you fall behind, you will be beaten. He couldn't help but ask, "Boss, isn't our technology the same as your technology?"

"Isn't your technology your official technology?"

"Our current carbon fiber technology is definitely far ahead of the rest of the world. Why are they so concerned?"
