Invested 20 billion US dollars into the military manufacturing field.

Naturally, the high-ranking generals here are not country bumpkins like Lawson.

For example, the cost of building a Seawolf-class nuclear submarine in the United States alone is as high as 3.5 billion U.S. dollars, not to mention the research and development costs.

But Lawson was sitting down and was completely stunned. His mind was thinking about 20 billion US dollars, 20 billion US dollars. How many factories can be built with this kind of money?

The investment of 20 billion US dollars was not made up by Xia Yang.

The initial plan was US$1.5 billion.

But in just over two months, an additional US$1.2 billion has been added, so God knows how much money will be needed to complete several projects such as the Julang nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

On the contrary, if it can be done with only 20 billion US dollars in the end, Xia Yang will really be thankful to God.

A massive $20 billion investment.

The senior generals below were all very interested and concentrated, ready to listen to Xia Yang's detailed introduction.

Only Lieutenant General Kant looked gloomy.

Obviously, just Xia Yang's investment has outshone the McCree family.

Of course, no one doubted what Xia Yang said. Because Xia Yang's identity information was known to all the high-ranking generals present.

With Xia Yang's identity, there is absolutely no need to tell lies. At the same time, with Li Ao's profit level and the Blue Sky Aircraft Factory, which makes at least four billion US dollars every year, it is fully capable of investing 20 billion US dollars.

At this time, the four tactical screens and the spectacular overlooking view of the Laisu Shipyard were replaced by a battleship.

This battleship is as long and narrow as a shuttle, with a length-to-width ratio of at least 10:1.

The most striking thing is that there are two trapezoidal towers in the middle of the hull, with a wire pole standing high on them.

The entire battleship has a compact and neat appearance, with nothing superfluous except for a high-speed gun at the bow.

Obviously missiles and other weapons are hidden inside the ship, which is undoubtedly more secretive and safer.

"What you see now is the Iron Dome destroyer developed by our company. It is 172 meters long, 16.8 meters wide, and has a displacement of 9,000 tons. It is equipped with the Iron Dome combat system developed by our company and can execute

Air defense, anti-submarine, sea surface warfare and other tasks.”

"I believe everyone can see that the Iron Dome system is the core of this warship, and this is indeed the case. The Iron Dome system is a defense system that our company has devoted all its efforts to build. The core is a set of the most advanced phased array radar. The search range

It can reach up to 300 kilometers, and can identify, judge and track 300 targets, and destroy them with the Red Bird supersonic missile it carries!"

"Of course, this is only the most basic function of the Iron Dome system. The power of the Iron Dome system is that it integrates the radar system as the center, the command and combat system, the display system, the weapons control system, the surveillance direction finding system, and the intelligence sharing link system.

Coordinate operations, etc.”

"An Iron Dome warship can provide powerful intelligence support and air defense for the entire fleet. The phased array radar equipped on it can also guide the missiles of other warships to make the most accurate strikes, greatly improving the combat capabilities of the entire fleet.

."

"I believe everyone who heard this will guess the source of the inspiration for the design of the Iron Dome battleship. Yes, the Iron Dome destroyer developed by our company is supposed to rival the American Aegis destroyer."

After Xia Yang finished speaking, the senior generals sitting below not only did not respond enthusiastically, but became quiet.

Who can't brag?

The Aegis system of the United States has been called the most advanced combat system since it was installed in 1981. It is not just a boast. Many countries have asked for it. It is easy to develop.

The senior generals present were expressionless, and Lieutenant General Kant was even more undisguised in his sneer.

Xia Yang smiled and was not surprised. He operated on the computer and played a video.

The location of this video was above the endless sea, shot from a very high altitude.

A desert island and a warship converted from a cargo ship faced each other far away. The two sides were at least ten miles apart.

Suddenly a missile was fired from the desert island, aiming directly at the warship at sea.

Because it was a test, the missile speed was not very fast.

Immediately, a missile was fired from the battleship, which intercepted the missile fired from the desert island and destroyed it in mid-air.

Seeing this, some of the generals sitting below could no longer sit still and stood up from their seats.

But that's where it is.

Two more missiles were fired from the desert island, but they were accurately hit by the missiles fired by the warship in mid-air, and only two fireworks exploded in mid-air.

Next, the number of missiles fired from the desert island increased to five, but they were still accurately intercepted and destroyed by the warships, and none of them missed.

At this time, all the senior generals present had stood up, and all the short ones came to the front.

At the end of the video, twelve missiles were fired from a desert island at once. This time the warship was hit, but only by one missile, and all the remaining eleven were successfully intercepted.

The scene was extremely spectacular. Facing twelve incoming missiles, the warship converted from the cargo ship was like a fairy scattering flowers in an instant. It fired more than a dozen missiles to intercept, and the white smoke ejected by the missiles surrounded the warship like a stream of colorful ribbons.

The most shocking thing is that a missile that failed to intercept only hit the side of the ship's bow and did not cause much damage.

Obviously this is the optimal choice made by Iron Dome System after judgment.

The video ends.

Bang bang bang, the whole meeting will burst into warm applause.

This video is very exciting, but of course more expensive.

Even if they are experimental in nature, the missiles launched are scaled-down versions and are not cheap.

Because missiles are not cheap.

For example, the Meteor air-to-air missiles developed by Europe and the United States in later generations cost US$2 million each.

Of course, the money is worth spending, and the corresponding effect is shocking.

This missile interception video completely illustrates the power and advancedness of the Iron Dome system.

Lawson's hands were red from filming. Needless to say, this video alone made this bid secure.

At this time, Xia Yang put down his hand and the scene quickly became quiet.

"As you can see, I have made a major breakthrough in the Iron Dome combat system, which has allowed us to accurately and intelligently intercept incoming missiles from all directions. The remaining research and development focus is to continuously extend the defense distance. Of course, this is also difficult, but we

The company is confident that it will be achieved and will do so at any cost."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xia Yang spoke passionately, but all the senior generals received mediocre responses as before.

They are all human beings.

It is still too early to extend the defense range to hundreds of kilometers. The larger the defense range, the greater the difficulty of accurate interception will undoubtedly be.

So who can guarantee that the research and development can be successful? Even if it can be successful, how long will it take, five years or ten years?

Seeing the generals below who looked calm and calm, Xia Yang looked as usual, but secretly cursed in his heart. They were all a bunch of bastards, but that was fine. Once the product was produced, there was no need to feel embarrassed about killing them.

Next, Xia Yang introduced projects such as the Julang nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and the Red Bird missile.

The senior generals present here are still calm. Like the Iron Dome battleship, it is only in the early stages of research and development. No one can guarantee its success. However, I sincerely admire Xia Yang for daring to invest.

Finally, all projects or products such as the Julang nuclear-powered aircraft carrier are introduced.

Xia Yang turned off the big screen and carried out the last step, promotion, which meant collecting money first to reduce the strain on R&D funds. The advantage of paying money first was that the product could be purchased cheaper after it was developed and manufactured.

"Everyone has seen that our Li Ao is determined to enter the military manufacturing industry. In addition to nuclear power engines, other eight projects such as Iron Dome battleships, you can place orders now. Believe me, placing orders at this time is the cheapest. The prices are respectively

Yes, the unit price of the Iron Dome system is 200 million U.S. dollars, the Iron Dome battleship is 600 million U.S. dollars, the Sea Devil conventional submarine is 600 million U.S. dollars, the Julang nuclear aircraft carrier is 3 billion U.S. dollars, and the Sea Ghost nuclear submarine is 2.5 billion U.S. dollars. Special note, the above

Prices do not include weapons or missiles."

"In addition, the price of the missiles is: Redbird supersonic anti-aircraft missile, US$800,000 each, Exocet anti-ship missile, US$2 million, and Black Shark heavy-duty torpedo, US$3,000,000."

The U.S. dollar is valuable now, but in future generations, the price of these torpedo missiles will be at least one million U.S. dollars higher.

"Now you can place your order."

Finally, Xia Yang was like a salesman selling to the senior generals sitting below.
