Chapter 56 Cost Control

The 100 sets of Kirin armor made of gold-titanium alloy were actually all produced in Chen Mu’s Huaqiangbei Industrial Zone.

From the armor's outer shell to its Ark reactor, it can be said that they are made of the best materials currently available in China.

Even the matching weapons are produced by China's top military industrial groups, and the quality is fully guaranteed.

Therefore, these 100 sets of armor have stronger combat power than Tony Stark's current Mark III armor.

Moreover, war is not a joke. The strength of armor, like fighter jets, does not only depend on its own performance, but more importantly, on the skills of its pilot.

It is true that Tony Stark invented the Iron Man suit, and he can be called the father of the Iron Man suit. However, when it comes to fighting talent, Tony Stark, as a playboy, can never catch up with those hard-trained soldiers in China.

Therefore, the combat effectiveness that these Kirin No. 1 armors can exert must actually be far greater than that of Tony Stark, the Iron Man.

"These 100 sets of armor cost about 300 million RMB. Although they are much cheaper than other military equipment, it is still very difficult to equip the entire army with them as individual weapons."

At this time, Xu Jia also talked about the problems they were currently facing.

"So this is what the military is thinking. Can you modify the parameters of the armor to keep the cost down?"

Like Iron Man’s Mark series armor, the parameters of the Kirin armor cannot be modified casually.

The material used today is gold-titanium alloy, so the overall design of the armor is designed completely in accordance with this standard.

If you simply replace the materials, the armor produced will not even be able to move.

Therefore, the military also hopes that Chen Mu can modify the design plan.

"Also, the Kirin Armor costs 300 million, of which the energy reactor costs 200 million. Can its power be reduced to keep the cost under control?"

What it means very simply is that the current cost of Kirin 1 is too high. If we want to equip it on a large scale, we must control its cost.

"That's no problem. I'll send you the revised information later and you can hand it over to the director."

Chen Mu thought about it and did not refuse, so he continued to say to Xu Jia: "As for the reactor, I have a weakened reactor here. Its power is about 1/5 of the current Kirin Armor reactor, but it is high enough for two days of continuous combat. The cost should be less than 50. However, the production conditions of this reactor are not high. We will take it to Huaqiang North Industrial Park for production to avoid leaking the production materials. After all, if this thing is not operated properly, the energy burst out is more terrible than ordinary bombs."

The weakened version of the reactor in Chen Mu's hand is almost the same as the one Tony knocked out with a hammer in the cave. It is actually very simple to produce.

Now most of the factories in China, even Chen Mu’s father’s toy processing factory, can produce it if the materials allow.

So for the sake of safety, Chen Mu plans to produce all of this in the industrial park.

Just producing this one component is really a simple task for today's industrial park.

After all, according to the Bureau Chief, the Chinese top leadership is not united at present, so it is better not to leak this information out casually.

The current industrial park is also firmly protected by the army, or the Shenmao Bureau, so it seems that there is no place safer than here.

"That's great. I need to report the matter of the reactor to the general, but I think it shouldn't be a big problem."

Hearing that Chen Mu could provide a cut-down version of the Kirin Armor, Xu Jia couldn't help but smile.

The cost of the reactor is less than 50, and if the armor uses ordinary special alloys, the cost may be less than 60.

This is an outrageous cost. Just think about it, the Mark III made by Tony cost at least $300 million!

I have to say that Huaqiangbei is amazing. The cost of $300 million was reduced to $600,000 here!

Of course, the main reason why Tony's armor is so expensive is its scientific research cost. However, Chen Mu, who owns the system, directly omits this cost, so naturally it does not need to be so expensive.

The Kirin armor, which costs 600,000 yuan per set, can be promoted as an individual weapon.

After all, even if Chinese weapons have the best cost-effectiveness, a Type 99 main battle tank costs at least 200 million US dollars, which comes to 1200 million RMB, enough to produce sets of weakened Kirin armor.

These twenty sets of Kirin armor are far superior to the Type 99 tank in terms of mobility and firepower output.

The most important thing is that the Type 99 tank cannot fly, while the Qilin armor can fly at supersonic speed. It is obvious which one is stronger.

"Come over tomorrow morning to get the information, and I'll be able to design the armor tonight."

After taking a look at the sky, Chen Mu said directly to Xu Jia: "By the way, this batch of 100 sets of Kirin armor is No. 1 armor, named Kirin 1. What should this reduced version be called? Kirin 1 Se? Or Kirin mini?"

"as long as you are happy."

Xu Jia was simply too exhausted to complain about Chen Mu's ability to name things. After a moment of silence, he went straight back to his office.

Chen Mu now has his own armor, so under normal circumstances, he no longer needs Xu Jia, his "bodyguard", to protect him at all times. But don't forget that Xu Jia has another identity, the manager of Chen Mu Xiaomu Technology, and he also has to deal with business matters.

Her identity is actually equivalent to Pepper Potts in the Stark Group.

So Xu Jia is usually very busy.

After seeing Xu Jia off, Chen Mu returned to his studio. The cut-down version of the Kirin armor was actually very simple. He only needed to export the data of Mark 2 and slightly modify the appearance. All Chen Mu needed to do was to modify the reactor and install it on the armor.

In fact, it didn't take Chen Mu much time to complete this task. That night, Chen Mu had an idea. He wanted to transform some of the useful technologies in his hands into civilian use.

He did not forget that not long ago, his father called him and said that the business of Zhan's own processing factory was becoming increasingly difficult, and he wanted Chen Mu to find some business for his factory, otherwise the old guys in the factory would almost be unable to survive.

Just like armor technology, if it is used in civilian applications, it can be developed in the "prosthetics" industry.

Since he is his biological father, Chen Mu will naturally not treat him unfairly in such matters.

Although Chen Mu himself is not interested in small amounts of money now, his father wants to make money, so Chen Mu naturally has to express his support.

Now, Chen Mu’s plan is to design a prosthetic limb for civilian use, or for “disabled people”. Using ordinary batteries as energy, it will enable some people with physical disabilities to have a new life.
