Chapter 2321 Whether weapons are expensive or not depends on the amount of equipment.
Yes, I will start arranging it. Wu Hao could only smile when he heard this. If the leader came forward to explain and coordinate, then his pressure would be much lighter. Because it takes a long time for them to display weapons and equipment. If it is extended further
If you waste time, 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 test site with the leaders. Everyone wanted 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 had also seen this new-generation Warrior assault vehicle. But the Warrior equipped with the autonomous driving system
This was the first time they saw an assault vehicle.
So as soon as they arrived in front of the vehicle, everyone couldn't help but look at it carefully. While looking at it, they asked Wu Hao for some details. Many leaders and people personally boarded the assault vehicle to check the equipment inside.
Xiao Wu, can this military vehicle be combined with your active defense system and the anti-aircraft and anti-tank smart mine shown at the end? The person who asked the question was an old leader, and he patted the heavy body of this assault vehicle.
The car body then asked him.
Wu Hao smiled and nodded and replied: "It's absolutely possible. There are no 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 accurate costs and prices. You have to know that a considerable part of the manufacturing cost of this type of weapons and equipment is
R&D 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 would cost at least one million dollars."
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 could it get to Wu Hao? Just this set
The price of the system is as high as one million or more. So many people think that Wu Hao is asking for high prices. He is indeed a businessman, and he acts like a profiteer when he opens 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.
, and 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 R&D and manufacturing is too expensive. Just like an Aegis ship may cost several billion, and an aircraft carrier may cost hundreds.
Billion, these are drizzle in comparison.
However, despite this drizzle, the accumulated amount is an astronomical sum, because the amount of roadbed equipment is the largest. People say that the Army is poor, but in fact the Army is not poor at all, and it also receives the largest military expenditure every year.
, there is no way the size is here.
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 an order. Leader Meng smiled and nodded at him, then said to him: "Don't worry, what's yours is yours, no one can take it away. Young people should have some
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, so 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 car 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 is 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 had been raised high, and the maintenance hatch on the top of the turret had 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 should be only about half of that of an ordinary armored assault vehicle. Even so, it is already very large. It depends on who is comparing it. Leaders who are used to seeing military armored vehicles naturally think that its size is relatively small. But in many cases
From a human perspective, 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, we greatly reduced the size of the entire armored vehicle. And on this basis, we added armor
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. Ordinary transport aircraft may only be able to transport two or up to three armored vehicles, but we can double this and can transport 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."
