Zhao Qiang didn't know why these broken boats had hit their house's long line of waste pipes again, and he didn't know how to answer this for a moment.
She could only follow Xia Li and listen to Xia Li's "sarcasm" while humming in agreement, looking like a little daughter-in-law who was willing to be beaten, scolded and rubbed.
Xia Li felt unhappy and kept beeping as usual. When he saw the ship with a slightly more complete appearance, he even jumped on the ship and tried to activate it with the help of thunder power.
After going around in a circle, Xia Li only came to one conclusion.
That is, it makes sense that these things will be eliminated. If they are not eliminated, they will probably fall apart once opened.
Most of them can be started, but some turrets cannot rotate, and some engines have a loud startup sound, just like a offshore tractor with the "Back, Back, Back, Back, Back" ringtone effect...
In short, there are all kinds of problems. It's not that they are not good at any one item and therefore they have been left behind by the times, but because there are too many small problems, they have been eliminated by the times in a real sense.
Xia Li quickly realized that if Commander He and Liu wanted to modify this thing, it would cost a lot of money just to replace the parts. Moreover, it would also cost a lot of money to improve things such as cannons that were not usable as a whole. The energy is completely different from a car that can be modified in a week.
I sighed in my heart, as expected, one becomes better with age, no one at such an old age would engage in loss-making business.
How about she add an anti-theft system to it during the improvement process so that no one can copy it, and thereby take advantage of Master Liu?
Otherwise, no matter how you think about it, you feel a little bit at a loss.
Xia Li quickly left the backyard of the shipyard with Zhao Qiang, but he began to think about another thing.
It is currently known that Mr. Liu went to apply for research expenses for her, but given China's current economic situation, even if he applies under another name, he may not be able to apply for much money.
Those broken ships that can be thrown directly have little improvement value on a single ship. Unless they can add heavy materials to one ship, they can barely achieve the effect she wants.
What can be done? If you don’t have enough technology in your budget, just come up with it.
It seems that this matter still needs to be discussed.
Xia Li returned home pretending that nothing was wrong. In addition to beating up the four platoons of soldiers every day, he also took his subordinates to run together every night on the grounds that "the battalion commander thinks you are in good physical condition, so he gave you fifty extra laps of training." Circle.
When it was not necessary to take evening classes, she would go to the shipyard with Lu Dingyuan to discuss with a group of old researchers how to transform the shabby ship.
The days passed very peacefully, so peacefully that everyone in the army who knew Xia Li unconsciously had their hearts in their throats.
None of them felt that Xia Li had learned to live in peace, and they all felt that Xia Li was trying to hold back a big wave.
This quiet environment lasted until Mr. Liu applied for funds.
When Xia Li was called to the office by Mr. Liu, he was very well-behaved. This kind of well-being even made Mr. Liu mistakenly think that "Xia Li is so good these days because of money."
Master Liu pointed to the stool, motioned for Xia Li to sit down, and then said with a serious face: "The funds above have been approved for you."
Xia Li nodded and asked calmly: "How much?"
Master Liu: "One hundred thousand."
The expression on Xia Li's face was distorted, and he looked at Mr. Liu with wide eyes, disbelief written all over his face, and his voice rose several degrees, "How much!!?"
Mr. Liu was also a little embarrassed. He coughed lightly and said: "One hundred thousand, our organization is not rich..."
In the end, he was a little speechless.
Military expenditures have always been the most expensive. Not to mention that building an aircraft carrier requires hundreds of millions of dollars. Just talking about building one of their Type 62 battleships also requires millions of dollars.
The funding of one hundred thousand is indeed a bit shabby.
He gritted his teeth and said, "You study first. If it's not enough, I'll find a way to apply to the higher authorities.
You can also apply for existing materials and workers in the shipyard, and they will not be deducted from your funds. "
This money was all provided internally by their group.
In the early years, there were patriotic businessmen who supported the Anti-Japanese War and donated large sums of money to research military supplies. However, those who have gone abroad in recent years have gone abroad, and those who have not gone abroad are now not having an easy time, and they cannot get foreign aid at all.
Moreover, their research cannot be proven publicly, so it is indeed difficult to come up with more funds.
If he didn't believe in Xia Li's ability, he probably wouldn't have spent the above money.
As soon as Xia Li saw Mr. Liu's expression, he knew that even if he asked for it again, he would be asking for it because of his own old face, and the money he could get might not be much.
She once thought that she might not get much funding, but she never expected that only 100,000 was broadcast.
You know, it will cost more than 80,000 yuan to make a Gatling in later generations. Even if the money is valuable now, it will not be enough to make a Gatling for 8,000 yuan.
It can be said that if this money is really invested in research, it will basically be wasted, and even the echo may not be heard.
Seeing Xia Li's silence, Master Liu sighed and said, "I know this little money is not enough for anything. If you think it's not appropriate, we don't have to improve the decommissioned warship.
This time I said hello to the above, and asked for a copy of the current design drawing of the Type 62 battleship.
If you can improve the Type 62 battleship on the design drawing, we can submit the design drawing.
By then everything will go through formal channels, and we won’t have to worry about funding issues here.
Don't worry, the merits and bonuses that should be given to you will not be less. The bonuses will be paid directly to you, and the merits will probably have to wait until peace. "
Master Liu still prefers the latter, after all, it costs a lot to transform the former.
The public application will definitely investigate who took the lead in this research. When Xia Li's identity is exposed, the matter will be even more difficult to handle.
But they want to apply secretly, but now none of them dare to move. Several conservatives have been demoted, and it is difficult to protect themselves, let alone come up with more funds.
Xia Li sat there quietly, with one hand on the table and tapping her index finger on the table. She listened silently to Mr. Liu's analysis of the current situation and the difficulty of applying for funds. He became more and more numb as he listened.
She didn't even know how the conservatives who were now pushed into a corner and had declined to such an extent rose to power.
She modified the ship for her own use.
If you really want to modify the Type 62 corvette, you only need to submit a design drawing, and they will definitely find a specialized person to study the design drawing first. After the study, it will be manufactured and tested. According to regulations, it will be tested for one year before being put into production.
It might take two or three years for these ships to actually come into her hands.
Just like her previous improved cars, Huaxia has just started production and has not yet been distributed to various troops.
By the time we get the boat, we may have suffered so much at sea that the day lilies will be cold.
Xia Li thought about it and shook his head, "No, I still want to modify the ship myself."
Mr. Liu was silent, "Is that amount of money really enough?
Unless you can make some significant progress, even if I apply again, I estimate that if I can apply for another 50,000 or 80,000 yuan, it will be too high. "
Xia Li shrugged indifferently, "There is no need to apply again. The funding will be calculated as one hundred thousand, but I have another condition."
Master Liu looked at Xia Li: "What are the conditions?"
