Cost, no matter where it is, is extremely important. No matter how good things are, the cost is too high to afford, so what's the use?

Especially for military products, the cost is too high, beyond the capacity of the country, the consequences will be very serious, and the country will be dragged down.

The emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, Justinian, was very good. He restored the frontiers of the Roman Empire, and he can be said to be the master of ZTE. However, not long after his death, the Eastern Roman Empire disintegrated, why?

Is it because he exhausted the country's financial resources during his lifetime, the country has no money, and even the army's wages can't be paid, so how can it not disintegrate?

If this is a bit far, let's talk about things we all know.

The Red Empire once made the whole world tremble, and even the United States could not fight it. The Red Empire has done many world-renowned events, such as the world's largest helicopter and the world's largest transport plane, all made by the Red Empire. However, the Red Empire eventually disintegrated, why?

Because the Red Empire practiced "supporting the people with the army", the country ran out of money and had to disintegrate in the end.

It can be seen that cost is very important. Especially on warships, if the cost of materials is too high, the consequences will be very serious, which will put a heavy burden on the country.

The US "Sea Wolf" class submarines had a very high technical level at the time and used a lot of innovative technologies. Compared with the submarines currently in service in the United States, they were much more advanced, but the United States had to retire in the end because they were too expensive.

The Seawolf-class submarine used a large amount of expensive hy13o steel, which made its cost very high. At that time, it was almost 1.2 billion US dollars. Based on the prices at that time, this was a sky-high price. Even the United States, known as the richest country in the world, cannot afford it. Once the Cold War is over, it will retire immediately.

Ye Chen is very concerned about the cost of new ship materials. If this hurdle passes, no matter how good the performance of this material is, even if it is so good that it is so good, it will not have many application prospects and cannot afford it.

"One tenth!" Ye Chen's eyes lit up, and he was very excited.

He has always been worried that the cost of this material is too high. How could he know that it is only one-tenth of the cost of existing materials of the same type, which is a great surprise.

The low cost means that the application prospect is particularly broad. Even if the entire aircraft carrier is made of this material, there will be no problem.

The weight of an aircraft carrier is tens of thousands of tons. If the cost of steel is too high, the cost will be unimaginably high. Assuming that the cost of this special material is equivalent to gold, then tens of thousands of tons of gold are needed to build a super aircraft carrier, and no country can afford it.

"That means, we can engage in an arms race. Hehe!" Ye Chen rubbed his chin, smiled wickedly, and smiled maliciously, with stars in front of his eyes: "Yankees, just wait and see."

The arms race has always made people shudder. It means that military expenditures will increase greatly, which will squeeze people's livelihood resources. In the words of Western economics, it means that if the cannon exceeds the butter, it will make life difficult for the common people.

The Red Empire was dragged down by the US arms race, and you don't need to think about how terrible the arms race is.

The material cost of this kind of ship verified by Ye Chen is only one-tenth of the existing material. That is to say, when we build ten aircraft carriers, the cost of steel is about the same as that of an American aircraft carrier. This is too tempting to engage in an arms race.

Think about it, if our country manufactures a large number of aircraft carriers and builds our huge fleet, the United States will definitely not be able to sit still. If the United States wants to maintain its global dominance, it has to follow suit by manufacturing a large number of warships and building more aircraft carrier battle groups. The consumption is more than ten times that of ours. This will put a heavy burden on the United States, and the result can be imagined.

Back then, how the United States used the arms race to bring down the Red Empire would be brought down by our country.

Thinking about this bright future, Ye Chen's eyes are full of wonderful little stars.

"Am I too bad?" Ye Chen rubbed his chin and asked himself. After a smirk, he said complacently, "What's so polite to America? The worse the better!"

As soon as the calculation was completed, Ye Chen thought of an arms race that would drag down the United States, which is not called bad.

is very bad!

The first verification, just passable. It's no wonder that Ye Chen has no experience in this field, and it's already very good to have this kind of result.

Next, Ye Chen continued to verify that as time went by, Ye Chen became more and more proficient, and the properties of the materials he made were getting better and better. The crystal phase is better, the yield strength finally exceeds 10,000 MPa, and the welding performance is very good, as long as a welder with several years of welding experience can weld.

A series of tests have shown that this is a very good material. However, there is still one test that has not been completed, and that is the corrosion resistance test.

Warships must be submerged in seawater, and seawater is highly corrosive. If the material cannot resist corrosion, the consequences will be serious.

Although the anti-corrosion test has not been completed, Ye Chen can make preliminary calculations.

Ye Chen analyzed the data and got a surprising result.

"According to this calculation, the corrosion resistance of this material is very good, and it can be soaked in seawater for two hundred years without any problems." Ye Chen's face was full of joy.

Corrosion resistance is very important for ship materials, no matter how excellent the other properties are, it is useless if this one cannot pass. Who told ships to be immersed in sea water for a long time?

Ye Chen has always been worried about the corrosion resistance. Now that there are preliminary results, it will be fine after 200 years of immersion, which fully meets the requirements of warships.

Generally speaking, a warship will be decommissioned after several decades of service, how can it be two hundred years of service.

For example, the US super aircraft carrier has a service life of 50 years.

In other words, as long as the corrosion resistance of this material can reach 50 years, it will be enough, and 200 years has greatly exceeded expectations.

This is still a preliminary result, and it should be longer when all tests are completed.

"This is another perfect material." Corrosion resistance is the last performance. Ye Chen has been worrying about it all the time. Now he doesn't have to worry about it. He is completely relieved and makes the final conclusion.

High-temperature alloy material is a perfect material, and ship material is a perfect material. These two perfect materials will have an extremely important impact on our country.

"If this is reported, it will definitely cause a sensation." Ye Chen smiled.

Which of the things Ye Chen made did not cause a sensation when it was reported? Photonic chips, intelligent driving systems, virtual concert systems, high-temperature alloy materials, and composite materials all caused huge shocks.

Our country is building a blue-water navy, and it is going to go deep blue. At this juncture, Ye Chen has produced such perfect ship materials. That is great news.

Maybe, it will be like last time, a group of generals rushed towards Fengzhou overnight.

"If this kind of material is reported, our country's aircraft carrier will definitely be redesigned. By then, the ship technology should be able to be exchanged, and I can also participate in it." A long string of wonderful little stars appeared in Ye Chen's eyes, proud He thought: "I have participated in the design and development of our country's new aviation gas turbines and aerospace fighters, and then participated in the design of aircraft carriers. That means the navy and air force have participated. Hehe, there are not many scientists like me."

Aerospace gas turbine aerospace plane, any one is enough for people to do it for a lifetime, and if they participate in three across industries, there is no other such person except Ye Chen.

Now, Ye Chen wants to participate in the design and research of the aircraft carrier again. His heart is not ordinary, but very strong.

"The last thing left is to compile the production process." Ye Chen is going to do the final finishing work.

If you want to produce, you must take out the production process, otherwise everything is out of the question.

Ye Chen took out the production process, so that the military can produce equipment and prepare to build factories.

At this moment, the phone rang, and Ye Chen saw that it was Xiao Lingyue calling, and hurriedly answered the channel: "ceo, what's the matter?"

"Ye Dong, please, please pay attention, okay?" Xiao Lingyue's voice full of resentment came.

Ye Chen was taken aback for a moment, and asked in confusion: "What's the focus? Make it clear."

"Mr. Ye, didn't you say you were going to prepare Mr. Zhuang's birthday? You're so good, you've become a talker, and you won't be able to come out of the laboratory for a few days." Xiao Lingyue said angrily.

"Uh... Aren't I busy?" Ye Chen remembered that he had taken care of preparing Mr. Zhuang's birthday on his own, but he was hiding in the laboratory these days. red.

"I knew you were going to make excuses." Xiao Lingyue said angrily, "Okay, you won, who called you Boss? Come to Mr. Zhuang's office and introduce you to a few people."

"Who?" Ye Chen didn't understand.

It was the first time that Xiao Lingyue called specifically to introduce someone to him. As the CEO of the company, she is also a world-class evildoer with high vision. If she called to mention this matter, the person who came here must be unusual. Ye Chen was very curious.

"You'll know when you come." Xiao Lingyue hung up the phone without explaining to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen had no choice but to dismiss the preparation of the production process and rushed to Mr. Zhuang's office. There were seven strangers in Mr. Zhuang's office, five men and two women. Among the five men, two of them were already graying at the temples, no less than fifty years old, and looked very refined. The other three men were all young men in their teens and twenties, not much younger than Ye Chen.

The two women are in their forties or fifties, and they have a good temperament. They are well-educated and well-bred.

The three young men surrounded Mr. Zhuang, showing courteousness and talking.

Elder Zhuang smiled with relief on his face.

Xiao Lingyue talked with the four adults, smiling all over her face, very kind, as if they were her relatives.

Ye Chen was a little puzzled, he had seen all of Xiao Lingyue's family members, but he had never met these four people, could it be that they were relatives that she couldn't even get close to?

"Hello, Director Ye." Seeing Ye Chen, the four adults hurriedly stood up, smiling all over their faces, and greeted Ye Chen in unison.

"Brother Ye, you're here." Seeing Ye Chen, the three young men surrounded him with surprise, like a fan seeing an idol.

"Brother Ye, sign for me, okay?" The three young men held the autograph book and handed it to Ye Chen, looking at Ye Chen eagerly, with nervous faces, as if they were afraid that Ye Chen would disagree.

Ye Chen was quite speechless.

Who are you? do i know you guys How come you are so familiar? When we meet, we call Big Brother.
