At the end of October, people from the country came to the master company, not only brought all the test data of the master company, but also the "aircraft" that has been dismantled into parts and cannot be spliced ​​back. However, after testing, especially destructive tests, 99% of these parts can be directly rebuilt. However, paying such a large price is also worth the money. More than 500T of analytical data is enough for the master company to avoid more mistakes in the following research.

"Mr. Zhang, I wonder how much is the cost of such an aircraft?" After handing over the information, Cheng Feng seemed to ask casually as the person in charge of scientific research.

Of course, Zhang Jingyuan would not think that the other party would be so bored and openly inquiring about the price. Then look at the Director Li who had not spoken next to him. He probably had a guess. His eyes flashed with a gleam. He hesitated for a moment before he slowly spoke: "The overall price has not been estimated yet, but this project has spent almost 3 trillion yuan in fees since the establishment of the project. All the profits of the expert company have basically been invested in it.

If the cost of the aircraft is specific, the price of just two engines will exceed 100 billion yuan. In addition, the aircraft uses a large amount of new materials, as well as huge manual R&D and assembly costs, etc. The price of such an aircraft is about 160 billion yuan."

When everyone heard this price, they were silent. It was really expensive and extremely expensive! But no one spoke up to refute it. Before coming here, everyone basically understood the performance of aircraft developed by master companies. Whether it was batteries, engines, even materials, core processors and programs, etc., it was far better than that of the country. It was just that this was the first time that the expert companies produced such high-end aircraft, and some shortcomings were understandable; but obviously, master companies are also catching up on time to improve. Perhaps, when the next aircraft is offline, the performance will have a qualitative leap.

However, this price is too high after all! Even a country cannot bear it. You must know that in recent years, even China has not had much surplus grain to do other things for space competition, especially a country like China. Although its output value is extremely strong, it has become one of the three major economies in the world: the United States, Europe, and China. However, it is used more, and a lot of civil infrastructure needs to be invested in, a lot of scientific research needs to be invested, and a lot of people's livelihood guarantee needs to be invested... During this period, the engines purchased from expert companies have almost touched the country's red line; if such aircraft are purchased, it is very likely to break the country's capital balance system, which will have a great impact on the development of the country. Especially in the current era, space competition is in full swing, and the consumption here is unimaginable.

In recent years, since the founding of the masters, according to incomplete statistics, more than 3,000 rockets have been launched into space on Earth, transporting nearly 500,000 tons of materials into space, so that in low-Earth orbit: garbage is everywhere, satellite security has become the top priority in the international community.

After 20 years of retreat, many countries have been cleaning up space garbage in the so-called humanitarian spirit; but now they are all busy building their own space bases, and who has the time to clean up these things. Especially for several countries with highly developed space technology, they can temporarily avoid space garbage through precise calculations, and they will ignore them even more. In fact, space garbage on the other hand, on the other hand, is also a barrier, which makes those small countries dare not enter space rashly. In other words, space competition has become a bit deteriorated, and the meaning of clearing the field in the early stage has already appeared!

"Mr. Zhang, the country now needs the aircraft produced by your company, but the country does not have enough funds. Do you see if you can delay payment?" This is the first time that Director Li has been humbly asking someone since he met with Zhang Jingyuan.

"Yes!" Zhang Jingyuan agreed without hesitation, "But not too long, we are willing to support national construction, but you have also seen that expert companies are now a large capital consumption investor. Once the capital chain breaks, the consequences will be unimaginable. I don't think the country wants to see a patriotic company like us go bankrupt."

"..." Zhang Jingyuan agreed without hesitation, which made Director Li breathe a sigh of relief; but then, Zhang Jingyuan put a hat on his face, which made him feel a little powerless - Zhang Jingyuan understood very well that he could support national construction, but you can't let me suffer a loss! According to this logic, and his understanding of the expert company, this time is at most three months! But what can I do in three months!

"However, in addition to this, I have another suggestion, Director Li can also consider it." Zhang Jingyuan showed a devilish smile.

"Say!" Although I felt uneasy, Director Li had no choice. The country is really exhausted now and has no ability to pay hundreds of billions of yuan to buy new planes. Generally speaking, if you want to become a team, you need at least three planes, or even five planes to be considered insurance. But now the country cannot afford so much money! It's not that there is no, but that there are too many places to spend money! This is a huge country, not a family of three or five people.

"The business of the expert company has been expanding rapidly recently, but now it is found that it lacks aerospace 'pilot'. This time, I think Mu Xinghai is a good talent." Next, Zhang Jingyuan did not continue to say it, but the meaning was already very clear.

If it were normal, Director Li would definitely refuse and even think about arrears a charge for Zhang Jingyuan; however, now it doesn't work, it can't. Instead, it's silent. After a long time, he said: "I can't make the decision on this matter. But I want to hear your price!"

"In one year, if the country can provide ten people like Mu Xinghai to expert companies, the expert company promises to provide the country with three aircraft in the next three years, with performance that is only stronger than previous test aircraft!"

"Impossible! Such people will not let them leave the country. Moreover, even if you are given the right to take off, the state still needs to be approved by the state!" Director Li was like a mouse with his tail stepped on, his voice completely distorted.

"Well, this is also one of the conditions. Allowing expert companies to be qualified for space development; I really have to thank Director Li for their reminder." Zhang Jingyuan suddenly became tough at this time! This is the most critical step. As long as he takes this step, the expert companies can initially get rid of the constraints of the country and embark on the road of true self-development. Over the past period of time, although the expert companies have developed very rapidly and the country has strong support, one thing has to be admitted that under the roof of the country, there are many things that are difficult to carry out in expert companies - such as open practice!

The roots of expert companies will not change, but after getting rid of the constraints of the country and after rapid development, expert companies can also support the country in turn. This is a mutually beneficial strategy; but now it depends on what the country is doing.

In fact, as private companies in the United States flew into space, private airlines from all countries had such ambitions - to get rid of the country and develop space alone!

Moreover, many studies have shown that in the space age, democratic policies will completely collapse, and companies, families, etc. that have mastered a large number of resources and power will inevitably restore the imperial system!
