Warlords: I just made a little fortune, but I didn’t build a country.

Chapter 492 Military Community

Qin Lin was very satisfied with the test results. With this ground drone, combined with advanced automated artillery, it would form a seamless firepower network for the infantry, which would undoubtedly be very terrifying.

"What is the total cost of a Shenniao launch vehicle, including the weapons and equipment inside?" Qin Lin asked the key question, which is related to whether the Shenniao launch vehicle can be mass-produced.

"The cost of a single Shenniao drone is 5 star coins, and the cost of a fully armed Shenniao launch vehicle is 120 million star coins." Bai He replied.

When Qin Lin heard 120 million star coins, he was stunned.

Because according to his estimate, as long as it is below 1000 million star coins, it can be mass-produced. If it exceeds 1000 million star coins, it must be produced in moderation. Because at this price, it is better to produce the previous two drones, or the th generation fighter, the th generation stealth bomber, etc.

"120 million!"

Qin Lin was shocked and said, "Mr. Bai, are you right? The cost of building a Shenniao 120 is only million star coins?"

"Of course."

Seeing Qin Lin's shocked expression, Bai He immediately smiled and said, "The current research goal of our Xijiang Research Institute is to develop highly efficient weapons and equipment at a very low price."

"This is the Shenniao Generation," Bai He said with a smile, "There will be many more in the future. We need to develop high-end weapons at low prices so that we can achieve sustainable development. We can't just develop high-priced weapons like the Hongjian 13 intercontinental missile. The cost of one missile is equivalent to half a brigade."

Speaking of the Red Arrow Thirteen, Bai He shook his head and said, "It's not just the cost. The research and development of the Red Arrow Thirteen three-phase projectile alone took no less than ten years. From laying the foundation to the current test, it took a full ten years. Old Liu's hair turned white because of this stable three-phase projectile."

"Hey!"

Qin Lin sighed when he heard this and said, "I didn't expect that when I just showed him the design of the three-phase bomb, Elder Liu was like a possessed person. He studied it day after day for ten years and finally realized the three-phase bomb."

"If it weren't for Lao Liu's possessed spirit, our Xijiang Research Base wouldn't have been able to develop the three-phase bomb from scratch in just ten years."

"It's just that," Bai He continued, "the appearance of the three-phase bomb, once it comes out, will affect the global situation and the fate of mankind. It is also the first time that humans can master the means of phenomenal natural forces. I don't know whether this is a blessing or a curse for us humans."

"Whether it is a blessing or a curse depends on who is in charge."

Qin Lin looked at Bai He and said, "The world must be united, and the premise of unity is that we need a deterrent weapon. At first I positioned it as a ghost bullet, but it is obvious that the ghost bullet cannot meet this condition, so we must have a three-phase bullet in hand to play a deterrent role."

"As humankind continues to strife, development will naturally be restricted. If we gather all the world's people and resources to develop from one point, then the speed will be five, ten, or even a hundred times faster than it is now. Only in this way can we humans embark on a bright road, rather than fighting each other on Blue Planet and wasting Blue Planet's resources in vain."

"All right."

Qin Lin took back his words and said, "This first generation of Divine Bird will be delivered to the Armed Forces for large-scale mass production. The Expeditionary Force will be the first to be equipped with this advanced UAV equipment."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Bai He nodded in response.

Bai He naturally understood what His Majesty had just said, but after learning the test data of the three-phase bomb, he had to say a few more words, because the power of the three-phase bomb was too strong, powerful enough to destroy mankind, and in a moment.

......

After returning to Kyoto, Qin Lin visited the Xijiang Research Base and saw the crazy researchers. He felt that he had to do something for them.

As for money, the reward amount for scientific researchers has already reached the highest standard and cannot be increased any further. It does not comply with regulations, but we can find ways to deal with other aspects. This requires calling in professional personnel to discuss it.

"go with!"

Qin Lin said to the Secretary General, "Call Cabinet Minister Wang Guozhong to my office."

Soon, an old man with white hair and a square face came to Qin Lin's office. This man was one of the eight ministers of the cabinet, and was responsible for matters such as the promotion of officials and welfare benefits.

"Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"

"Sit down and talk."

Qin Lin poured a cup of tea for Wang Guozhong and then asked, "Regarding the salary of scientific researchers this year, you are the main person in charge. Are there any changes?"

"No."

Wang Guozhong took a sip of tea and responded, "The treatment of scientific researchers is top-notch in the country and cannot be improved any further."

"Take academicians for example. The Great Qin Empire has 530 scientific research academicians and 600 engineering academicians, a total of 1130 people. The basic annual salary is 5 yuan. With various bonuses, it will not be less than 10 yuan a year. So the annual salary of an academician is no less than million yuan."

"One hundred thousand yuan a year is enough to buy a house and a car in any region of the Great Qin Empire. There will be no financial pressure."

"As for the most junior scientific research and engineering personnel, their basic salary is as high as 1800 yuan a month, and with subsidies, it will not be less than yuan a year. This figure is also very high, and it is still far ahead in the country."

"actually."

Wang Guozhong put down his teacup and said, "For the salaries of scientific researchers, there are no changes this year, but for the soldiers in the military, there are some changes."

"Oh, tell me about it?" Qin Lin asked curiously.

"It's still about housing," Wang Guozhong said. "This year, my cabinet plans to allocate 30 billion yuan to build 1000 military communities. These military communities will provide houses to general officers for free or at half the price. The houses are close to the military bases, so their families can live in them. This will solve the problem of soldiers not being able to be with their families for a long time."

"The specific reward operation is based on position and military merit."

"For example, a major general will be given 130 square meters for free according to our standards. If he has made military achievements, then the third-class military merit will add square meters, the second-class military merit will add square meters, and the first-class military merit will add square meters. The maximum is square meters."

"After you get the house, it will belong to you and you will have the property rights for 70 years. After 70 years, we will take it back."

"That's a good idea of ​​yours."

Qin Lin agreed very much and said, "Don't spend 30 billion on experiments. Just spend 100 billion to implement all of this. There is plenty of money in the treasury now. Also, for scientific researchers, you have to provide the same treatment measures and reward houses according to the merits of scientific research projects."

"As for the funds, we will take out another 80 billion from the Ministry of Finance for construction," Qin Lin said earnestly, "Soldiers and scientific researchers are the backbone of our Great Qin Empire. Without them, there would be no Great Qin Empire today. Now that we are doing well, we must greatly improve the treatment of these people and not let everyone down."

"clear."

Wang Guozhong nodded in response.
