After a series of detailed negotiations, Base 618 received 100 sets of aiming radars, 100 sets of 336 rocket launchers equipped with fuel-air explosives, and 100 sets of Red Arrow rocket launchers from Hans Cat.
Gaul Chicken also asked for 10 sets of aiming radars for research.
The transaction volume reached 220 million dollars.
This was the largest arms deal in Rabbit's history.
This deal directly alerted the higher-ups. Even the old man called the Shudu military region to ask about the situation and was so happy that he said good three times!
The focus of the old man's work would shift to economic construction, and what he lacked the most in economic construction was foreign exchange.
Rabbit's basic industry was too weak. Everything had to be bought from abroad. Without foreign exchange, it was difficult to move an inch.
And 220 million dollars, to the rabbits of this era, was undoubtedly a huge sum of money.
The central bank could convert the money into Chinese dollars and give it to Base 618 for research.
Base 618 instantly became the richest military base in the country.
More importantly, Base 618 also obtained the world's most advanced Leopard 2 tank engine technology.
With the Leopard 2 engine technology, Base 618 could develop the most advanced main battle tank in the shortest time possible.
After the deal was made, Lu Xuan brought a group of experts from Base 618 to Base 541.
Knowing that Lu Xuan was coming, the entire Base 541 was in an uproar.
Base 541 and Base 611 had developed the Type-59 tank together.
However, Base 611 took out an improved version of the Type 59 tank.
I heard that they are making improvements again, developing a heavy tank with six pairs of load wheels.
However, Base 541 did not have any better products to launch, so they could only continue to produce Type 59 tanks.
As the demand for Type-59 tanks decreased, the production tasks of Base 541 also decreased.
Without production tasks, there would be no jobs. Without jobs, the entire base would face the dilemma of being transferred from military to civilian.
Now, Comrade Little Lu from Base 618 brought the world's most advanced Leopard 2 tank engine technology and a lot of money to Base 541 to develop a new tank. How could Base 541 not be excited?
Yan Dongshan, the director of Base 541, held the warmest welcome ceremony for Lu Xuan and his party.
He called over the youngest female employee or family members in the base.
They gave Lu Xuan a wreath made of wildflowers.
It was wrapped around Lu Xuan's neck and head.
This made Lu Xuan suddenly feel like a big star in the future, receiving the support of his fans.
Although this made him speechless, he had no choice but to smile and greet the enthusiastic girls.
After entering the base, Lu Xuan immediately gathered the experts from Base 541 and began to discuss the development of the new tank.
When Lu Xuan appeared in front of the group of old experts, everyone was amazed.
Even though they had learned about Lu Xuan, this young genius, in advance.
However, they did not expect Lu Xuan to be so young.
When they were at this age, they might still be students or apprentices.
After a brief introduction, Lu Xuan went straight to the point.""This time, I obtained the 1500 horsepower Leopard 2 tank engine technology from Europe.”
"However, this is only the most primitive technical blueprint. The sinister Hans cat people have set many artificial difficulties for us inside. This requires us to research and break through.”
"The 125 cannon and its stability system, as well as the gun aiming radar, have passed the test. However, the automatic loading mechanism, the hydraulic telex system, and the control lever that controls the firing range need to be improved.”
"As for the chassis, transmission system, and other aspects, we have to improve on the foundation of the T72 tank. In terms of tank armor and basic materials, we have brought mature technology.”
"Now, Mao Xiong has the T72 and T64, Yingjiang has the M1, Hans Cat has the Leopard 2, John Bull, Gaul Chicken and other countries have also launched advanced tanks. We don't have much time left.”
Lu Xuan directly brought up his request, but he could not tell them.
The war between the Middle East's Icamels and the Persian lions was getting closer and closer, and they would be purchasing tens of billions of dollars worth of firearms.
These countries had endless black gold under their butts.
His own domestic military production system was not good enough.
However, the army was quite strong.
If they missed the opportunity to fight a war that could bring huge profits to the rabbit military, they would be able to fight a war.
Many of the military bases in the rabbit could only go back to their old ways.
That was to convert the military to civilian ownership, or go bankrupt.
Especially Base 541, if they could get a huge foreign trade order.
He wouldn't have to sell it to someone with a background at a cheap price.
It would become a private enterprise through and through.
Lu Xuan had always only cared about the results, not the process.
Now that he had said it, he would only give her half a year.
For other bases, they probably wouldn't even be able to produce a design in half a year.
However, the leaders and experts of Base 618, who knew Lu Xuan's temper well, did not have any objections other than nodding.
Base 618 had many seemingly impossible missions, but hadn't they all been completed under Lu Xuan's leadership?
It was indeed difficult to develop a new type of tank, but Base 618 had to give money and people.
He had even obtained the basic materials and the heart of the tank. What reason could he have to say no?
Moreover, Base 541 had the technology to develop and produce tanks.
In addition, he had previously dismantled and analyzed the two T72 tanks he had obtained from Monkey.
With such favorable conditions, what reason did Base 541 have to not do research?
Seeing that no one raised any objections, Lu Xuan began to explain the armor and technology of the 99-variant tank that he knew.
" Homogeneous steel armor is fine, but composite armor is a must. As for the outside, we can consider installing a reaction armor made of a module of an inertia explosive.”
"The changes in the battlefield situation require our tanks to be lighter and increase their mobility and ability to pass through. Therefore, we must consider adopting some new technologies.”
"First, we need to use a large number of light-weight, high-strength titanium alloys, aluminum alloys, and other materials to strengthen the armor structure of the tank and reduce its weight.”
" Second, we must change our design thinking. We must design a tank that not only has active defense capabilities, but also has a stronger attack capability…"
Hearing this, an engineer said,""Comrade Little Lu, if we use titanium alloy in large quantities, it will greatly increase the cost. The cost of one ton of this thing is hundreds of thousands.”
Titanium alloy was indeed very strong.
However, they were not even willing to use it on the plane in China.
If they mined special steel, a ton would only cost tens of thousands of yuan.
"Is the cost of a few hundred thousand a ton very high? Compared to the improvement of a tank's performance, it was not unacceptable to increase the cost a little.”
"When we design weapons and equipment, we should mainly consider performance, not cost. When we reach the highest performance, we will consider how to control the cost.”
"Mao Xiong's T64 cost more than three million dollars, and Ying Chan's M1 tank cost more than six million dollars. No matter how high our cost is, can we still beat them?”
Lu Xuan was speechless. These people were still old-fashioned.
What he wanted was the strongest tank that surpassed the Leopard 2.
Even the T64 that cost 3 million dollars and the M1 that cost 6 million dollars.
Didn't the two countries, Yi Camel and Persian Lion, buy hundreds and thousands of them?
If the domestic troops found it expensive, he could just give it up. Lu Xuan did not have to worry about having no sales.
