Chapter 654 A big loss

In the villa of the General Staff's Family Home, Li Mo is entertaining two familiar guests.

"Lei, I haven't seen you for a long time. You seem to be much darker." Li Mo gave the sleeping baby in his hand to Li Yanran, and then smiled at Lei Zhen on the sofa.

Li Mo was a little surprised by the sudden arrival of Lei Zhen and Ding Huiqiang, but he was not unprepared at all. Since the last dinner and reconciliation at the Chinese Embassy in Somalia, Li Mo has known that China's foreign policy has changed again and there is an attitude to make up for the gaps.

What causes this attitude must be beneficial to China to resolve the gap with Somalia. Although Li Mo did not know what the profit demand of China was for, risking offending the United States and other countries to 'reconciliation' with Soma, he knew that this change was also good for Somalia.

Didling Li Mo, Lei Zhen smiled naturally and said, "The weather here is too hot, and it's normal when it's a little dark. Lao Ding said that I look more manly like this.

"Haha!" Li Mo and Ding Huiqiang smiled at the same time.

"Lei team leader, what can I do for you? Although, I will try my best to help if I can. Li Mo took out a cigarette and gave one to the two of them, and then ordered one.

Li Yanran, who was originally holding the baby, frowned, gently beat Li Mo, and then quickly took the baby back to the room.

"Li Mo, first of all, Lao Ding and I congratulate you on your double happiness on behalf of the country. This is a gift from the leaders to your daughter. Lei Zhen took out a beautifully made box from his briefcase and put it on the coffee table in front of him.

"You're welcome. Please convey my thanks to the chairman for me." Li Mo picked up the box and opened a corner slightly, and his face changed slightly.

He closed the box casually and said hesitantly, "This gift is too expensive."

At a glance, he knew what was in the box. A pendant carved from white jade seems to be a Buddha statue.

With the handwriting of the country, he naturally won't make any fakes. Li Mo couldn't help but think of the mutton fat white jade worth a thousand dollars.

"Ha ha, this is not an antique, but a new sculpture by the head. If it's an antique, the chief won't give it to you. Lei Zhen shook his head slightly and smiled.

Li Mo was relieved. If it's not an antique, such a pendant has a tangible value of tens of thousands of yuan. In the status of both sides, it is naturally not a particularly valuable gift.

After receiving the gift, Li Mo asked again, "You are not here today for joy, are you? To put it bluntly, you know I don't like to beat around the bush.

Lei Zhen and Ding Huiqiang looked at each other, or Lei Zhen replied, "Li Mo, then I'll say it directly. The country wants to cooperate with you.

"Cooperation? In what way?" Li Mo asked without any hesitation.

"New alloy! We know from some sources that you have a new alloy in your hand, and the country hopes to cooperate with you. Lei Zhen looked at Li Mo's reaction as he spoke. Seeing that the other party's face had not changed, he knew that it was almost a good thing. He continued, "If possible, the country hopes to buy new alloy manufacturing technology. You can put forward the price, and the country will try its best to meet your requirements."

It's really for silicon-uranium alloy!

Since Li Mo asked North Korea and Syria to join the new tank research and development team, he knew that silicon uranium alloys would leak sooner or later. This new type of alloy material is too important for a country like Huaxia that lacks technology in the field of materials.

"It's impossible to sell manufacturing technology." Li Mo shook his head and said, regardless of the change of Lei Zhen's face, and continued, "The manufacturing technology of silicon-uranium alloys is based on a non-reproducible condition in order to carry out limited industrial production. There are still many difficulties in the technology of artificial production that we have not overcome, even if I tell you that you can't make it.

This sentence was heard in Lei Zhen and Ding Huiqiang's ears, which made them feel confused. I don't know whether Li Mo is an excuse to be unwilling to sell technology or the truth.

However, when the two of them came, they were fully prepared. After analysis and speculation, it is speculated that Li Mo will not be able to sell manufacturing technology.

"What about the finished alloy?" Lei Zhen then asked. In Huaxia Zhengxu, several surname energy data on silicon uranium alloys have been obtained. Just a few items have surprised the relevant experts of China. Even if the finished alloy is obtained, many projects that are slow to study due to material problems in China's current military manufacturing will be solved immediately, and this alloy can even be used to complete some previously suspended projects.

This is only the information about the alloy that Huaxia has obtained so far. Whether there are any other more friendly surnames of this new alloy is temporarily unknown.

"If it is a finished product, it can be cooperated. But there is a saying that I want to say first. Because we have not mastered the manual manufacturing process, the output of this alloy is very small. You should be prepared for this. Li Mo suddenly said solemnly.

The silicon-uranium alloy production line has been produced for more than a month, and the daily product is about three tons. This production line can only last for one year. If Y substance is not added, the production line will be shut down.

Lei Zhen's heart sank, but then he thought of the domestic order. I also believed Li Mo's words. There must be restrictions and difficulties in the manufacture of this new alloy. If it can be industrialized on a large scale, Somalia's military strength will certainly be countless times stronger.

"Yes, but we need the last name data and some samples of silicon uranium alloys. And the price of this alloy.

"That's good. Wait a minute!" Li Mo nodded and agreed to Lei Zhen's request. He stood up and entered the room. After a while, he held a fifty-four pistol made of gold in his hand.

"The whole body of this pistol is made of silicon-uranium alloy. I was going to play with it myself, but now I'm giving it to you. And this is the surname energy data about silicon uranium alloys. Li Mo gave the May 4th pistol and a 16-open piece of paper to Lei Zhen.

Lei Zhen and Ding Huiqiang looked happy. Lei Zhen picked up the pistol and looked at it slightly, and carefully put it in the briefcase with the paper.

"What's the price?"

Li Mo showed a strange smile on the corners of his mouth and said, "Turty thousand dollars!"

"Turmany dollars a ton, it should be OK!" Lei Zhen said without thinking about it after listening to it.

"NO... It's not 20,000 tons, but 20,000 1,000 grams." Li Mo quickly shook his head and said.

"What? Twenty thousand one kilograms? Or the US dollar? Lei Zhen and Ding Huiqiang exclaimed at the same time.

Li Mo nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes, it's 20,000 yuan a kilogram. This price is still for the face of everyone who is Chinese. This is not an ordinary copper and iron, but a new alloy that can be extremely excellent. It can be used in aerospace and other fields with extremely strict material requirements. Just look at the data of the surname I gave you.

Lei Zhen and Ding Huiqiang thought it was reasonable when they heard Li Mo say so. After all, the two are not experts in this field. They just need to bring Li Mo's quotation back. After the national inspection of the value of the alloy, they will discuss with Li Mo.

After sending the two people away, Li Mo was immediately happy. The cost price of the alloy was 1,000 dollars, and the opening rose 20 times. This money is really profitable. But Li Mo also understood. If you can't master the manual process of silicon uranium alloy, with the existing Y material quality, the price is not expensive at all. Because before finding alternative technology, the whole world is so much.

But if this price is really reached, there will be another problem. That's the price of the 'Cheetah' tank. Based on the cost of 1.1 tons of alloy per tank, the price of alloy alone is 22 million US dollars. Who can afford this price? Now the most expensive tank is the Japanese Type 90 tank, which is only $850 a piece. What about the price of the Cheetah tank? $25 million!

This is the price of a fighter. Even the United States can't afford it.

Li Mo suddenly became anxious. The new tank was going to be sold. The price is so expensive that it can't be sold at all.

Try to Li Yanran, and Li Mo immediately rushed to Badada Town Industrial Park. Call the expert and He Ping.

"Tay, how to solve this problem?" Li Mo talked about the quotation with Huaxia and the new tank just now.

"25 million US dollars, this price is definitely not good." The expert said without thinking about it.

He Ping smiled bitterly and said, "We used to calculate the cost of our own production. The cost of a tank is between $2 million and $3 million, which is acceptable compared with other three-generation main battle tanks. According to the current test data of the new tank, the protection capability of the front armor and turret is more than double that of the current main battle tank. And because the tank is short, the probability of frontal hit is greatly reduced, with light weight and strong maneuverability. The 125mm smooth-chamout gun with special armor-piercing shells and armor-piercing shells is powerful enough to threaten other countries' main battle tanks. The survivability and attack power of the battlefield are world-class.

Li Mo and the experts have the surname energy data currently detected by the new tank, which can be said to be drooling. But if the price of the tank cannot be compressed, the sales volume is a big problem. Li Mo developed a new tank for export. Instead of a purely armed national defense force.

"Damn it, it's a big loss. Each of the three countries needs 40, and a total of 120 new tanks are cost-priced. This is more than 130 tons of alloy. The value of 3 billion is equivalent to a free gift. Li Mo said angrily scratching his scalp.

"The alloy of the new tank is mainly consumed on the frontal armor and turret, which account for 85% of the total. If you want to reduce the amount of alloy, you need to find a way in this regard. The engine can't compress the amount.

Li Mo was silent for a while and said, "We must reduce the amount of alloy. He Ping, you can discuss with other experts on where to reduce the amount of alloy. I think it is enough to reduce the protection ability of the tank to the same level as the international advanced level. They are all poor countries. Why do you use them so well?

"In fact, the most important thing is to overcome the artificial process of silicon uranium alloy, as long as you master the technology of manual production. This problem will be solved naturally.
