Chapter 957

.

The mysterious N780 metal was one of Shi Lei's trump cards. This was a special energy source that had yet to be discovered by mankind. It was far superior to conventional chemical energy sources such as gasoline.

When the N780 metal was tested perfectly on the second-generation Steel Aircraft, Shi Lei was ready to develop the second-generation The First Light by converting The First Light into electricity. In fact, the entire set of technology for The First Light was already mature. It was not too difficult to modify the power system.

The First Light's combat power was quite impressive. Even the first-generation The First Light was quite strong. However, the shortcomings of the first-generation The First Light were very clear. Not only was it expensive, but the power output was still not up to Shi Lei's standards. Even the combat time was not very satisfactory.

If The First Light's power system could be converted into electricity, its combat power would be greatly improved. However, when Li Chai was developing the electric-powered version of The First Light, there was a problem.

"What's the problem, Little Li?" Shi Lei asked worriedly.

Li Chai sighed. "Stone Head, the second-generation version of The First Light is still very expensive. It's even more expensive than the first-generation version of The First Light! "

The cost of the first-generation version of The First Light, excluding the research and development costs, labor costs, and software costs, was already more than five million Xia yuan.

Even for high-end elite weapons, such a price was still very expensive. At the very least, it was impossible for Rongcheng Military District to equip it.

"How much is the cost?" Shi Lei was not too concerned about the cost. Shi Lei was more concerned about when it could be completed and put into use. From the current situation, Shi Lei was afraid that he would have to face Voisin's Ministry of Foreign Affairs International Intelligence Service head-on. The second-generation version of The First Light would be a big bargaining chip for Shi Lei.

"About eight million!" Li Chai gave a rough figure. "Stone Head, this estimate will only increase. It will definitely not decrease."

Shi Lei frowned. Even though Shi Lei had a large amount of wealth, Shi Lei still felt a headache when faced with a construction cost of at least eight million. "Xiaolizi, can you explain why the cost of the second-generation The First Light increased instead? The First Light no longer uses the micro-turbine engine and ceramic high-temperature thermal insulation modules used in the first generation of the First Light. The production cost should be lower now, right? "

The first generation of The First Light used a micro-turbine engine, which cost 6.7 million Xia yuan per unit. The ceramic high-temperature heat insulation module cost 6.6 million yuan per unit. The First Light of the first generation required two micro turbine engines and two ceramic high-temperature thermal insulation modules.

Just the cost of the four core components was 9.1 million Xia yuan.

The First Light of the second generation did not use the micro-turbine engine and ceramic high-temperature thermal insulation modules, thus saving 9.1 million Xia Xia yuan. But why did the cost of the second generation of The First Light not decrease but increase instead?

"Stone Head, the cost of the second generation of The First Light is indeed higher than that of the first generation of The First Light." Li Chai explained, "Stone Head, for the second generation of The First Light, I broke the original design and used a new one. The original plan was to use two high-powered electric motors as the power source. But in the new plan, I plan to use five high-powered electric motors as the power source. Whether it is the arms or the legs, they will all be powered by independent electric motors. Each electric motor can provide 655 kilowatts of power, which is 689 horsepower. "

How powerful was 655 kilowatts of power?

To put it in perspective, 655 kilowatts of power could move a ten-ton object at a speed of one meter per second. Most small cars did not have more than 655 kilowatts of power. The Audi A9L that Shi Lei drove previously only had a power of 663 to 600 kilowatts!

Shi Lei asked curiously, "Xiao Li, are you sure that The First Light can be fitted with five high-powered electric motors?"

Li Chai coughed. "Stone Head, the size of the second generation of The First Light has been increased, and the five high-powered electric motors have been specially designed and customized. The price of each electric motor is basically one million Xia Xia yuan. "

Shi Lei rolled his eyes. Five electric motors meant five million Xia Xia yuan!

"What about the other cost estimates?" Shi Lei asked.

"The thickness of the armor of The First Light has been increased from 65mm to 77mm to 85mm to 15mm. All the external armor has been modularized. No matter what part of the armor is, it can withstand a 67.2mm sniper rifle shot from a distance of 655 meters. Even if you step on a mine, with the excellent defense of The First Light and the excellent shock-absorbing device, the pilot inside will not be hurt too much, "Li Chai introduced proudly.

Armor with a thickness of 85mm to 15mm. Just thinking about it made one feel that it was exaggerated!

The armor of some tanks was only this thick. Li Chai had actually increased the defense of The First Light to such a degree.

"How much is the cost?" Shi Lei was not dissatisfied. Instead, he asked happily.

"Including the basic skeleton of The First Light, it costs two million!" Li Chai said bluntly.

Shi Lei did not express any objection. "What about the other one million?"

"The remaining one million is for The First Light's onboard control hardware, onboard wiring, and some electrified components." Li Chai said a little awkwardly, "The First Light's onboard wiring is all made of specially-designed silver material. Not only does it have excellent ductility and flexibility, but it also has the lowest resistance, ensuring absolute precise control. In addition, all the electrified components are of the highest specifications, ensuring the stability of The First Light. "

In order to explain the excellent performance of the second-generation The First Light, Li Chai continued, "According to my calculations, even if the second-generation The First Light is hit by a rocket fired from an individual rocket launcher, it will not lose its combat effectiveness. If it is equipped with the defensive shield of The First Light, the individual rocket launcher will not be a threat at all. "

"It's that strong?" Shi Lei could not help but be surprised. Then, he asked, "Little Li, how big is the main body of the second-generation The First Light?"

Li Chai chuckled. "It's not that big, not that big. The height of the whole machine has increased by about 63%, and the weight of the whole machine has increased by about 20%. Stone Head, it's not clear. Can you go online? There are specific parameters and data on the laptop. Come and see for yourself! "

Li Chai knew that Shi Lei was a hacker. Although he did not know how good Shi Lei was, Li Chai knew that if Shi Lei wanted to hack into his laptop, it would be a piece of cake.

"Okay!" Shi Lei replied directly. Then, he sent a series of commands on the keyboard with both hands. Izur successfully entered Li Chai's laptop. Shi Lei directly opened a file named "The First Light II" on the desktop.

…

…

The second generation of The First Light. From the outside, it seemed that the overall height was increased by a little. However, the second generation of The First Light had increased by more than just a little.

First of all, the first generation of The First Light used two micro turbine engines. Due to the limitations of chemical energy and the size of the turbine engines, the power output of the two micro turbine engines was only 70 horsepower. Even with asynchronous coordination, the power output of the two micro turbine engines could not reach 05 horsepower.

The power output of the second generation of The First Light's single high energy motor had reached 689 horsepower. It was simply a performance monster! Moreover, because a single high energy motor only provided power for a single limb, each high energy motor could achieve maximum efficiency.

In addition to the four high energy motors for the four limbs, the fifth high energy motor served the entire The First Light. It provided auxiliary power support, including driving the rest of the equipment, including some auxiliary equipment, and so on.

The second generation of The First Light did not only have a change in power. In terms of defensive strength, the second generation of The First Light could be said to be an unkillable cockroach. At the same time, because the second generation of The First Light used the new generation of N780 metal as its energy source, its endurance could not be calculated or measured at all.

According to the capacity of the second generation of The First Light's 65L energy cabin, it could store 65L of N780 metal. The density of N780 metal was 0.2 grams per cubic centimeter. 65L was 65 cubic decimeters. The weight of N780 metal was 02kg.

If the N780 metal was used in the first stage of the ultra-high speed multi-frequency current driver, it was equivalent to 675 times the energy contained in gasoline of the same mass. The electric energy released by 02kg of N780 metal was equivalent to the energy released by burning 4,798 liters of gasoline.

This data was only the data of the equivalent energy. N780 metal could directly release electric energy of different intensities within a range without any conversion. This was far beyond chemical energy.

Therefore, the second generation of The First Light, which used N780 metal as its energy source, could not calculate the maximum combat time and maximum standby time for the time being.

After Shi Lei finished looking at the design parameters of the second generation of The First Light, an image of the second generation of The First Light appeared in his mind. He asked Li Chai, "Little Li Chai, is your so-called research and development problem only a matter of cost?"

"Of course! Stone Head, do you know that The First Light has no commercial or military value except for our own use? It's just an extremely expensive and useless product! "Li Chai said excitedly.

Shi Lei laughed, "Little Li Chai, I'm very satisfied with the second generation of The First Light! There's no need to worry about the cost. I just want to say that the second generation of The First Light does not care about the cost. We only want the best! "

"Really?" Li Cai was filled with excitement. Any designer would hope that the things they designed could be manufactured. Even if Li Chai thought that the second generation of The First Light was useless, Li Chai still hoped to produce the second generation of The First Light.

"Of course! Little Li Chai, I'll only give you two days. I need at least six second generation of The First Light. If you can produce more second generation of The First Light, then the more the better! How about it? Can you do it? "Shi Lei asked Li Chai.

Shi Lei had already formulated a plan for the distribution of the six The First Light. Shi Lei would have one for himself, and the remaining five would be given to Ye Feng and the other members of the Punishment Mercenary Squad. If there were more second generation of The First Light, then they would be used as backups for the time being.

Li Chai thought for a while, then made a request, "Stone Head, can you accept a higher budget?"

"Oh? Little Li Chai, do you have any other ideas? " Shi Lei affirmed again, "Little Li Chai, I've said that the second generation of The First Light will strive for perfection, regardless of the cost!"

Shuangqing City, Shuangqing University, Doctor's Dormitory, Room 056.

Li Chai, who was holding his phone in his left hand, said with his eyes shining, "Since we don't care about the cost, Stone Head, I'll give you the perfect The First Light!"
