Military Technology

Yes, I'll start making arrangements right away. Wu Hao could only smile when he heard this. If the leader comes forward to explain and coordinate, then his pressure will be much lighter. Because it takes a long time for them to display their weapons and equipment. If the delay is extended any longer, other colleagues will have objections. It is not a good thing to attract people's jealousy by being so silent and innocent.

Although Wu Hao is not afraid of them, it is better to keep a low profile.

Because it is a temporary demonstration project, some communication, coordination and preparation are still needed on site, so you need to wait for a while.

However, this gap cannot be wasted. At the request of many leaders, Wu Hao came to the testing site with the leaders. Everyone wants to take a closer look at the weapons and equipment just demonstrated.

Wu Hao first led many leaders to the new-generation Warrior assault vehicle equipped with their military-grade autonomous driving technology. They have also seen this new generation of warrior assault vehicles. But this was the first time they saw the Warrior assault vehicle equipped with an autonomous driving system.

So as soon as they came to the car, everyone couldn't help but look at it carefully. While looking around, he asked Wu Hao for some details. Many leaders and individuals boarded the assault vehicle to view the equipment inside.

Xiao Wu, can this military vehicle be combined with your active defense system and the air defense and anti-tank smart landmine you showed last? The person who asked the question was an old leader. He patted the heavy body of the assault vehicle and then asked him.

Wu Hao smiled and nodded and replied: "It's absolutely possible, without any technical obstacles. The key depends on the mission requirements and equipment usage costs. Although we can reduce their costs to a very low level, they are not cheap, so I’m afraid it will be difficult to cover them all in a while.”

How much does such a system cost in total? A leader asked immediately after hearing this.

Wu Hao smiled and shook his head when he heard this: "It's really hard to say, because there is no mass production yet, so I can't give you the exact cost and price. You have to know that a considerable part of the manufacturing cost of this type of weapons and equipment is R\u0026D costs are invested, so the more you produce, the cheaper it will naturally be.

But no matter how cheap it is, such an equipment system will cost at least one million. "

Is it so expensive? Many leaders couldn't help but frowned. In their opinion, how much does a self-driving car cost now? Doesn't it have an self-driving system? How come Wu Hao, the price of this system alone is... Up to more than one million. Therefore, many people felt that Wu Hao was asking for high prices. He was indeed a businessman, and he looked like a profiteer when he opened his mouth.

The reactions of these people were naturally all serious to Wu Hao. He smiled calmly and shook his head and said: "Military-grade automatic driving systems and civilian-grade automatic driving systems are two different things. The difficulty has increased not a little bit. It's like a square." The difference is the same as the cube.

Secondly, there is the cost of related materials and equipment. For example, the single price of this thousand-channel laser radar is very expensive. The market price of such a one is hundreds of thousands, and we use five of them on this car. , as well as other materials and equipment, so the cost of these hardware materials alone may reach millions. "

Hearing Wu Hao's words, everyone present was slightly surprised and nodded as they should. The cost of research and development and manufacturing was too expensive. Just like an Aegis ship may cost several billion, and an aircraft carrier may cost tens of billions. In comparison, these are just drizzle.

However, despite this drizzle, the cumulative amount is astronomical, because the amount of roadbed equipment is the largest. It is said that the Army is poor, but in fact the Army is not poor at all. It also receives the largest military expenditure every year. There is no way it can be so large.

Of course, Wu Hao could not scare everyone. He then softened his tone and said: "If it can be mass-produced, the related manufacturing costs will be much lower. The key is quantity."

Hahaha, this guy started asking us for orders. Leader Meng smiled and nodded at him, and then said to him: "Don't worry, what's yours is yours, no one can take it away. Young people must be patient. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

Hehehehe...

After hearing what Leader Meng said, other leaders present also showed kind smiles.

Time was limited, and after a few introductions, Wu Hao led everyone to the medium-sized intelligent unmanned combat vehicle. There were several vehicles parked here, and the one that attracted the most attention was naturally the somewhat gray-faced medium-sized intelligent unmanned assault vehicle. . This is the vehicle that was intercepted by live ammunition just now. There are still some remaining shell casings on it that have not had time to be cleaned. The entire car body was stained with a strong smell of gunpowder smoke and dust generated by the explosion.

At this time, the muzzle of the 14.5mm three-barreled rotary machine gun on the turret has been raised high, and the maintenance hatch on the top of the turret has been opened.

The leaders were obviously very interested in this medium-sized intelligent unmanned assault vehicle. They gathered around it and looked at it carefully while communicating with each other.

"This unmanned vehicle doesn't look that big up close." Leader Meng looked at it for a while and then said with a smile.

His words were echoed by the surrounding leaders. Indeed, the unmanned vehicle is indeed not as big as imagined from a close distance.

The entire size and volume should be only about half of that of an ordinary armored assault vehicle. Even so, it is already very large. It depends on who you compare it to. Leaders who are used to seeing military armored vehicles naturally think that it is smaller in size. But in the eyes of many people, this car is already very big, much larger than ordinary civilian vehicles.

Wu Hao said with a smile: "Its actual volume is half that of ordinary armored vehicles. Because we saw the manned space in the armored vehicle, the volume of the entire armored vehicle was greatly reduced. And on this basis, the armor was added The thickness improves the protective performance of the entire vehicle.

Therefore, compared with ordinary armored vehicles, its protective performance can be said to be greatly enhanced, and ordinary light weapons are basically useless against it.

Because of its small size and light weight, it can be easily transported. Maybe ordinary transport aircraft can only transport two or at most three armored vehicles, but we can transport twice as many as this, up to six such unmanned vehicles.

Secondly, its small size makes it easier to conceal on the battlefield and travel through some small areas. It can also effectively reduce its bomb impact area and improve its battlefield survivability. "
