Chapter 9

Zhang Wen saw six people below.

They were Cui Zhuren, Designer Lin, Chief Engineer Qu, President Shi, Director Feng, and one person sitting in the back, watching everyone.

They all represented the highest military direction and warship manufacturing titans of this country now.

And now, Zhang Wen had come.

Zhang Wen placed the blueprint on the blackboard in front of him.

Preparing to meet their questions.

"Why is it designed like this?"

The first to ask was Cui Zhuren, also to let his student tell everyone why this design was designed this way.

A good opening is always important.

"This kind of design is called a twin-hull design."

"In short."

"This design ensures that this warship can have an extremely fast sailing speed."

"According to my design, the top speed is no less than 45 knots."

"Extremely suitable for distribution in our country's near-shore waters."

"In other words."

"It cannot sail in the open ocean?"

Director Feng spoke up; he originally looked down on these people who had no overseas study experience.

Not to mention Zhang Wen hadn't even finished university.

Yet he was chosen to compete with his plan.

It was simply an insult.

He naturally wanted to find problems for Zhang Wen.

"Yes. Because our country's current maritime defense focus."

"Naturally, it is near-shore defense."

"Our country is currently powerless against aircraft carriers."

"Although land-based missiles can prevent some threats."

"But the threat of the near-shore always exists."

"We cannot hide on land forever."

Zhang Wen immediately responded to Director Feng's question.

"What about weapons?"

"I want to know, why choose missiles, this kind of more dangerous weapon."

"Instead of the more mature torpedoes."

Chief Engineer Qu asked.

"Torpedoes are indeed more mature."

"However, their effect is really too small."

"The attack range is too small, and the attack power is too small."

"Too easy to evade."

Zhang Wen, after describing the shortcomings of torpedoes.

Turned to talk about the advantages of missiles.

"Missiles are different; we can modify land-based missiles."

"Make them into missiles on warships, which can greatly increase the defense range on the sea."

"The hit rate and lethality of missiles naturally don't need to be said."

"As for, danger."

"This is military equipment. There is nothing that is not dangerous."

"Nuclear bombs are even more dangerous."

Zhang Wen looked at Chief Engineer Qu.

He saw him nod with satisfaction.

"Then why is your hull designed in such a strange way?"

President Shi asked.

"Stealth design."

"?"

"Stealth?"

At this moment, everyone issued a question.

"That's right, stealth design."

"It naturally cannot be invisible in the real world."

"But it can be invisible on radar."

"Achieved by reducing the radar reflection angle."

"Similar to the stealth design of the F-22."

Everyone present was stunned.

No one would have thought that stealth technology on planes could be realized on a small boat.

"Are you sure it can work?" Designer Lin suddenly asked.

"I am sure it can."

Zhang Wen nodded affirmatively.

"What about its manufacturing difficulty?"

"What about manufacturing costs?"

"There are not many factories in the whole country that can build it."

Director Feng was unwilling to give up and decided to raise more urgent questions.

"Everyone, please look."

Zhang Wen had long known there would be similar questions.

He took out the data and blueprints of the Flying Eagle passenger ship.

It was the last finished product of Qingtian Equipment Manufacturing Factory.

"This is a passenger ship that uses the same design."

"Last month, it just went offline."

"Its cost is one hundred million."

"And yours, the cost is two hundred million."

Zhang Wen looked at Director Feng and said.

Everyone present fell into silence after hearing this.

Zhang Wen's technology was too new, and there were too many new things.

Unlike Director Feng's plan, which was a completely mature design.

New means risk.

When everyone was hesitant.

The old man in military uniform sitting in the back row walked over.

"Just talking is not enough."

"How about this."

"Two plans, each build one."

"Have a competition, won't we know then?"

With his final word.

Everyone relaxed immediately.

"Right, build one."

"I don't believe it, so many new technologies."

"And it's not a large shipyard in a foreign country."

"And there are no designers and workers who have studied abroad."

"How could it be possible to build it!"

Director Feng thought.

After thinking about these, he looked at Zhang Wen.

"Hmph, kid."

"According to my plan, it only takes six months to build."

"What about yours?"

Facing Director Feng's mockery.

Zhang Wen also made up his mind.

"I only need half a year too."

"Good."

"Then I'll wait for you!"

Director Feng threw down the data with disdain and went out.

"I look forward to you." Designer Lin said.

"Come on, young man." President Shi said.

"I look forward to six months later." Chief Engineer Qu said.

After speaking, they walked past Zhang Wen.

Now in the entire conference room.

Only Zhang Wen, Cui Zhuren, and that mysterious old man remained.

"Young man, young and promising."

The old man looked at Zhang Wen and praised.

"Minister Yang. You praise me too much."

Cui Zhuren hurriedly came over and said to the old man.

"Hahaha. Not bad, not bad."

Minister Yang's eyes were full of appreciation for Zhang Wen.

"Well done, I actually don't like that Director Feng."

"Always acting cheap, always feeling that because he studied abroad, he looks down on his own country."

Minister Yang sighed and said.

"But he is still the best designer in the country."

"We still have to use him."

"You say, isn't it ridiculous?"

Zhang Wen didn't feel it was ridiculous.

Just felt deep sorrow.

"So, you support me?"

Zhang Wen raised his head and looked at Minister Yang.

"No, I don't support you, although I hope you win more."

"But I can't play with the lives of my soldiers."

"Keep working hard, if you can prove yourself in six months."

"Then the orders here, I will build at least 40."

"Go all out."

"However, Minister Yang."

"I have a problem here that needs to be solved."

"That is our Qingtian Equipment Manufacturing Factory."

"Is going bankrupt."

Zhang Wen said with some embarrassment.

"Hmm? Is that so?"

Minister Yang frowned.

But quickly relaxed.

"How much did you say the cost was just now?"

"One hundred million."

Zhang Wen said affirmatively.

"Good, plus five percent profit."

"Forget it, this time plus ten percent."

"I will allocate one hundred and ten million to you."

"Don't let me down."

"Yes!"

Hearing that he could get so much money, Zhang Wen nodded immediately.

"Alright."

"Remember one sentence."

Minister Yang's expression became serious.

"Your ship is the lives of the soldiers."

"Their lives are supreme."

"The country's maritime territory."

"The country's security."

"Everything, I leave it to you!"

After speaking, Minister Yang actually bowed to Zhang Wen, this young kid.
