"Don't look at me, this is not the first thing I thought of. It was the creativity proposed by Director Lan Kun. (??[" Ren Hong smiled and looked at Lan Kun beside him. The latter immediately gave in modesty when he heard it.

At this time, General Gao raised another question and said: "It's well said that there is no truly invincible existence in the world. Even if the whale shark aircraft carrier is so excellent that it is impossible to guarantee that there will be no accidents. If it is accidentally hit and causes an irreparable disaster, how can the soldiers in the mothership escape? You know, it's a thousand meters of seabed, and more than 6O aircraft warehouses are all used to place fighter jets. So what about the escape capsule? Or is it not designed at all?"

"There is indeed no escape pod." Ren Hong nodded and said.

"What did you say? Such a low-level mistake..." General Gao stared at Ren Hong at the moment of hearing this. The latter explained: "There is no escape compartment. How could the soldiers' lives be ignored? If there is really an irreversible accident, the entire aircraft carrier will automatically dismember it into 32 sections and spread around. There are emergency spare materials inside to provide escaped soldiers with water and food for about three months. There is a set of call for help inside, and the rescue signal is out and wait for the rescue team to accurately salvage according to the coordinate position."

General Gao heard the explanation and said in surprise: "Good guy, this dragon bone can be dismembered into 32 sections? Even if an accident occurs, it can save most of the lives of the soldiers."

Ren Hong added: "At the same time, each section comes with a set of self-destruct devices."

General Gao pondered for a moment and spoke slowly, "Sacrifice is necessary when necessary. I believe that our soldiers never lack the courage to sacrifice, in order not to let technology fall into the hands of others."

This remark seemed too heavy. Ren Hong immediately changed the subject. He pointed to the right. General Gao immediately looked along. Ren Hong said: "Please look at the 100-meter-high level gate in front. Outside is the 400-meter-deep South China Sea. Looking at the huge gap opposite us, there is also a giant gate in the opposite wall. After the whale shark aircraft carrier is built, the giant gate opposite us will block here in half. After all the popularity is evacuated and the passage is closed, a large amount of sea water will pour in from the inlet at the bottom of the dock until the space is filled with sea water. The whale shark aircraft carrier can drive into the South China Sea from the level gate in front. After the seawater is discharged, the dock can operate normally again."

General Gao, who listened to the commentary, nodded repeatedly, "Advanced!"

"How much is the cost of this mothership? What kind of scary number is it?" General Gao said. He was ready to accept an astronomical number. The more expensive it means the less equipment in the future. He hoped it would not be too expensive, but he also knew that it was definitely not very expensive.

Ren Hong looked at General Gao's slightly nervous expression, and wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. Facing his father-in-law, he finally replied seriously: "Compared with a small set of 'Republic Eagles', it costs more than 100 million US dollars. This big guy is really too cheap."

"How many?" General Gao asked curiously.

"O billion US dollars." Ren Hong said the manufacturing cost and quickly added: "But it does not include carrier-based aircraft and supplies and daily expenses equipped for the mothership."

In Ren Hong's willful view, judging from the size of the "Whale Shark" aircraft carrier, the cost of the "Republic Eagle" is simply cheaper. But General Gao had another idea, the difference between 1.5 billion US dollars and 500 million US dollars is only 1.5 billion US dollars to convert to the national currency. Compared with the current US's most advanced Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, the cost is only between 4.5 billion and 500 billion US dollars.

A "whale shark" is worth five Nimitz aircraft carriers, which is really expensive.

Ren Hong also said: "Compared with the mothership, carrier-based aircraft is a bit expensive. Equipping the mothership with 1O arc fighter, the average cost per fighter is about 200 million US dollars, which is about 200 million US dollars. According to the 75-meter-long aircraft carrier, the monthly expenditure of the 'Whale Shark' will consume about 100 million US dollars in terms of material supply and maintenance, and it will cost about 900 million US dollars in service for 75 years. In other words, if you want to maintain a 'Whale Shark' aircraft carrier for 75 years, you will also need to invest about 1.3 billion US dollars in cost. This is the minimum investment. If you have combat readiness, you have to calculate the additional cost."

"The monthly expenses cost more than 600 million yuan (RMB)? Are you sure you are not joking with me? The monthly expenses of Nimitz of the Americans are only more than 90,000 yuan (RMB), with the cost of five others and the expense of six. This is too expensive, and Americans can't afford to support a few." General Gao heard the series of numbers and was immediately overwhelmed. Of course, there is no need to say much about his love for this mothership, but the huge number of high cost and maintenance expenses is terrifying.

"The price is absolutely unfair." Ren Hong shrugged slightly and reminded him: "I have to remind you that this price is still the ex-factory price."

"How much do you want to sell one?" General Gao said subconsciously.

"Look at what you are anxious about, the 'Ming Axe Plan' is a project jointly carried out by Matrix Technology and the country. Without the technical reference provided by 8o3 and the talent and materials provided by the country, it would not be possible to go so smoothly. I didn't want to make money here at all, but I can't lose money, right? More than 500 million yuan of the 'Ming Axe Plan' was built, and the research investment of the 'Ming Axe Plan' burned more than 100 million yuan. The total amount of nearly 1.7o billion US dollars is not known to be able to recover the cost. Although my company's total revenue per year is comparable to that of Turkey's annual GDP, it is unmatched by anyone in the world. The company's seven years of savings actually have few pieces of copper left. It started paying taxes last year, which is so heartbreaking..."

"What price, hurry up and give me some insight first!" General Gao said dissatisfiedly.

Ren Hong immediately revealed a price code, "Absolute justice, one mothership earns you 100 million yuan, and the 'arc' is 250 million yuan. The unit is US dollars!"

General Gao was displeased when he heard this number. "Fuck, it was like a lion's mouth. The arc of 1oo swept away 500 million US dollars, a mothership swept away 100 million US dollars, and a single ship swept away 600 million US dollars, which could build a 10,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. He even followed me and said justice? Do you think anyone is as rich as you!"

"The money I burned is enough to build multiple nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. Why don't you say this?" Ren Hong quickly responded.

"That's not OK. You are my son-in-law, even to avoid suspicion, you have to be less." General Gao said.

Ren Hong: "..."

Ren Hong was defeated in an instant. As the saying goes, it’s hard to explain the reason when a scholar met a soldier. General Gao looked at Ren Hong with a look of grievance and laughed, “Who said in front of me that I had money, no problem, I’m going to cover it with me. Well, now I know it hurts?”

Ren Hong: "..."

General Gao ignored him and turned to look at Lin Wubin, saying, "Go and prepare a complete report to me immediately. Let me report on what is happening here in person."

"Yes, General!" Lin Wubin saluted and left and started preparing. General Gao looked at Ren Hong again, "Okay, don't pretend to be garlic for me here anymore. You have never been willing to suffer losses. It seems that the country has taken advantage of you, and you are afraid of more benefits."

"Well, father-in-law, how many ships do you think will be launched?" Ren Hong asked suddenly.

General Gao thought about it and said, "I guess after this ship is officially launched into service, I will not ask you for new orders in the next three years. This equipment is quite good, but it is a flaw to be too expensive and the expenses are not enough."

"Then will this mothership be assigned to which fleet?" Ren Hong asked again.

"Nonsense, of course, it's the South China Sea under my jurisdiction. The northern fleet has aircraft carriers." General Gao said without vaguely. Thinking of this, he suddenly showed a strong smile. "I don't have an aircraft carrier yet. This big iron fish is definitely under my control. Haha, Lao Li and the others want to wait a few more years. When Lao Li sees the whale shark system, he looks at his aircraft carrier. It is probably like looking at a pile of broken copper and iron. He must be frustrated and crazy. He was proud in front of me, but now he can finally fight back, hahaha..."
