[Chapter 207: Sky-high price]

When Ren Hong took off his armor and just came to the two of them, Colonel Cheng, who had always shown himself calmness, couldn't help but grab Ren Hong's wrist and asked urgently: "Can this set of equipment be mass-produced?"

Colonel Cheng's move caught Ren Hong off guard. Perhaps it was because Colonel Cheng's wrist was too strong, Ren Hong's expression changed abnormally, and obviously he was a little uncomfortable. The super fast and stable update of the novel, Colonel Cheng finally reacted when he let go of his hand and said apologetically: "Sorry, I'm so excited. This is a 50-year-old equipment. You are not a soldier. Maybe you don't understand how important this will be. Especially the definition of the air force will even cause a huge change in the future air battlefield pattern! With this set of armor, the real sky overlord, and such a "Baptor" patrolls the Republic's airspace to shock the four sides, who dares to offend? This is the Republic Eagle, the Republic Eagle!"

The technological content of this armor is 50 years ahead of the world. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a product that transcends an era. Colonel Cheng is so excited. As a military official, he knows more clearly what this means.

Sky Overlord. This alone has extraordinary significance.

Born for war, this word is the best adjective for "Eagle: First Number".

The love of the pilot and the romance of the man are the most suitable evaluation of the "eagle".

"Of course, it can be mass-produced, and it will take 400 hours to produce a set at the fastest speed." Ren Hong thought that there was a new purple source crystal and the content was sufficient, so he immediately gave a positive reply.

Colonel Cheng said to himself, "It's like producing one set in 400 hours, which looks like one or two days more than half a month, and the efficiency is already quite high."

Ren Hong thought for a while, then looked at Colonel Cheng with a smile, "Obviously, this set of equipment can only play a greater role in the military. For this reason, I once promised General Gao that I would give the country a gift."

When Colonel Cheng heard this, his eyes suddenly became lit up in depth. On the surface, he seemed calm, but he was very excited inside. Ren Hong said such words at this moment and made him look forward to it.

As expected, Ren Hong said the same thing as he expected.

Ren Hong said calmly: "I am going to donate the military 15 sets of mobile armor in my personal name to serve as the eagle of the Republic to protect our country's airspace."

"This relationship is good? But I will not be vague at all. I just decided, haha!" Colonel Cheng said happily when he heard this, without feeling thick-skinned at all. He was already happy. He smiled and said with a smile: "Mr. Ren may have to spend money. I guess the cost of each set of armor is not cheap, right? Just looking at the technological content that has been ahead of the world for decades, it is probably a bit too expensive for a single set of armor to exceed 1 billion US dollars or even more than 2 billion US dollars. It is a bit too expensive. The most expensive fighter jet in the world today is only about 300 million US dollars. These 15 sets of armor will cost hundreds of billions of dollars in a sky-high price. Even the Republic can only equip about 100 sets as a permanent force."

"Uh..." Ren Hong heard Colonel Cheng's words to himself, and he really wanted to tell him immediately that the tens of billions of dollars you said were only enough to build a set of armor, my colonel. But it was difficult to speak. For a moment, Ren Hong suffered from embarrassment.

But at this moment, Bai Hua, who was standing aside, also heard what Colonel Cheng said. The middle-aged and second-year-old man with a sense of justice could no longer bear it. He immediately sounded a high volume on the spot and retorted: "Sir, I think it is necessary to correct a very big mistake in yours."

"Wrong? What's wrong?" Colonel Cheng, immersed in joy, was stunned and said.

"Every part on the Eagle represents the world's most advanced materials and specialized craftsmanship, leading the world's technological content for decades. In order to achieve its unparalleled performance, we spent countless funds to forcibly manufacture things that were only available decades later today. The cost of creating it is terrifying." Bai Hua said.

"How expensive is it?" Colonel Cheng subconsciously said, "Two billion is not enough?" In his opinion, 2 billion is already outrageously expensive, how outrageous can it be?

"We spent $15 billion in production to build the 'Eagle: First', not counting weapons and energy matrix energy supply systems!" Bai Hua said.

"What? 15 billion US dollars? Are you sure you are not talking about RMB?" Colonel Cheng was really shocked by this number, and Kang Tao was also scared by this astronomical number.

"Of course!" Bai Hua completely replaced Ren Hong as the best commentator.

Ren Hong was stunned for a moment, and he said the cost of $12.6 billion was 15 billion. Ren Hong felt that he had misunderstood for the first time. Xiaobai was still scheming, but he liked this kind of wave. Ren Hong had already made up his mind to make this point. This month, he would give Xiaobai hair double, no, five times the bonus!

Bai Hua looked like an extremely serious professional and explained to Colonel Cheng: "Just talk about the transparent material on the helmet of the 'Eagle: First'. The graphene material officer should know that high-precision graphene is extremely expensive at present, but the transparent material here is not graphene. Graphene cannot withstand the bombardment of howitzers without any damage at all, but this transparent material is OK. This is completely made of real dollars. It is really costing no matter how much it is. The transparent material here costs $600 million."

Colonel Cheng was frightened by the huge number and calmed down and said, "I think this transparent material is a completely manifestation of waste of resources!"

Bai Hua smiled again and said, "How to say it? Our boss is not only an inventor, but also a designer, and the main designer of this set of equipment. When designing this set of armor, in addition to ensuring the actual application value meets the standards, it also combines artistic compatibility and is committed to creating a combination of 'violence' and 'aesthetics'. Our boss has indeed done this. Although the cost is much higher, our boss thinks that it is worth it to have a higher cost for higher artistic pursuits. After all, our boss is rich, haha!"

Colonel Cheng was speechless for a moment, especially the last sentence left him speechless. A completely unnecessary transparent material cost 600 million US dollars, which was simply a waste of money! Just to show his face and what kind of bullshit art? Colonel Cheng, who was heartbroken, said in his heart.

Bai Hua became more and more gloomy. Ren Hong felt embarrassed. He felt that he might say something important if he didn't stop him. Then the rescue would become a mess. Thinking of this, Ren Hong said immediately: "If you only consider the actual application value and not consider the appearance of artistic design, it can indeed compress a considerable amount of the cost. A rough estimate should be able to compress to US$11.5 billion per set."

"I'll just say it!" Colonel Cheng said immediately when he heard this. However, he recalled that although he saved $3.5 billion, the astronomical amount of $11.5 billion was still outrageous. At this time, Colonel Cheng understood what Ren Hong gave 15 sets of armor in his personal name. That was more than $150 billion. This brilliant work was simply unmatched. Who would be so generous if he was not patriotic? Thinking of this, Colonel Cheng said gratefully: "Thank you for your generosity. For the gift of 15 sets of armor for free. Even if it was compressed to $11.5 billion per set, 15 sets would be a sky-high price of $172.5 billion. This gift is really expensive."

"This is also my little effort for the country. Compared with the national defense construction of the Republic, this little money is like a drop of water in the sea, not worth mentioning." Ren Hong smiled calmly: "I have a wish, that is, at the military parade next year, the 'Republic Eagle' descended from the sky at the scene of the military parade. When walking through the largest square in the world, hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life from home and abroad were on the scene. What kind of shock would it be when they witnessed the scene and moment of the raptor falling from the sky with their own eyes? My wish!"
