Half a day later.
General Chang and other military representatives returned to Mousse One with expressions of lingering satisfaction.
The image of that enormous spaceship still lingered in their minds, awe-inspiring in its grandeur and advanced technology!
Next, of course, is the highlight of this visit. Ye Chen invited the military representatives to visit in order to sell the spaceship more smoothly.
Although he had sent all the spacecraft's parameters to the military, seeing is believing, and how could he feel at ease without seeing it for himself?
The specific negotiations regarding the spaceship were handled by subordinates; Ye Chen and General Chang didn't need to get involved.
The CEO of Mousse Military Industry, along with a group of people, held detailed discussions with military professionals under General Chang and modified the spacecraft according to the military's requirements.
The entire spacecraft was priced at 50 billion yuan by Mousse Military Industry, with each space fighter costing 100 million yuan. This included all the technical data for the spacecraft, as well as training for operators and space fighter pilots.
Of course, if the military has other modification requirements, further discussions will be needed.
This price is practically dirt cheap for a spaceship.
Ye Chen wasn't thinking about making money; instead, he hoped that Chinese researchers could quickly master the technology related to this spacecraft and thus develop more new technologies!
While most of the technology on Earth today comes from the Mousse civilization in Ye Chen's mind, much of it is also the result of his own research!
These technologies are the results of human scientists on Earth, whether intentionally or unintentionally, through their own research!
Over the years, Ye Chen has been spreading advanced science and technology widely and collaborating with numerous research institutions on research and development, all for this moment!
These research findings, in turn, provided Ye Chen with a lot of inspiration, facilitating the unlocking of the seeds of the Mus civilization.
New technologies are being unlocked in his mind every moment.
After being organized by the Sophon, some of the unlocked scientific knowledge was released for use by researchers worldwide.
One part is aimed at Chinese research institutions, for joint research.
Of course, the most important thing is to keep it for my own use!
Now, in the eyes of researchers on Earth, Ye Chen's laboratory is practically a sacred place!
Ye Chen, accompanied by Li Muyue and General Bian, found a seat by the window, where they chatted and waited for the outcome of their discussion.
"50 billion yuan, plus the purchase of ten space fighters, you've made me spend one-tenth of my annual military budget in one go."
General Chang looked out the window at the spaceship, complaining under his breath, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face, clearly showing that he was not being honest.
Li Muyue laughed from the side, "Uncle Chang, 50 billion yuan is already half a buy and half a giveaway. The cost of the aircraft carrier battle groups that our country built in the past was far more than this price. With this spaceship, those aircraft carrier battle groups can be decommissioned. The decommissioned warships of the navy would sell for more than 50 billion yuan, right?"
General Chang chuckled and said, "Pretty much, pretty much. After all, there aren't many countries that can afford warships."
Ye Chen asked curiously, "Who bought them? Isn't it a waste to buy naval warships now?"
General Chang said speechlessly, "Only a few countries are qualified to develop in space. The rest are still traditional army, navy and air force. For these countries, warships are still very important."
Ye Chen chuckled and shook his head, realizing he had overlooked this point.
Li Muyue asked from the side, "Uncle Chang, what happened to the soldiers after the navy's warships were sold?"
General Chang's smile faded slightly, and he sighed, "I'm also worried about this matter. Some of the navy has been transferred to the space force, and others can only be transferred to other branches of the military or have retired."
At this point, all three fell silent.
With the rise of the Space Force, the Navy is destined to decline, which brings joy to some and sorrow to others.
The changes of the times are a huge burden on individuals!
Li Muyue said softly, "If they are willing, they can come to work for the Mousse Group. Our group is preparing to build a special operations team and also needs this kind of talent."
General Chang smiled and said, "Then I'll thank you and your wife on behalf of those young men. I'll encourage them when we get back."
They talked and chatted, and before they knew it, three hours had passed.
The conference room door opened, and a group of people filed out. A soldier walked up to General Chang and handed him the minutes of the negotiation for review.
General Chang glanced at it briefly, and a smile as bright as a summer flower bloomed on his face.
He closed the folder and asked curiously, "Mr. Ye, how long does it take you to build one of these spaceships?"
Ye Chen blinked and said without changing his expression, "It takes about a year to manufacture one. As you become more skilled, you can shorten the time."
He thought to himself, "I'm not lying. According to the timeline of Morning Moon Cave, it really does take a year."
Sure enough, in less than two days, the second spaceship in Chenyue Cave Heaven was already more than half-built, and it was estimated to be completed by the time it returned to Earth.
"This speed is truly excellent!" General Chang exclaimed with a broad smile.
Li Muyue, standing beside him, glanced at Ye Chen with a smile in her eyes, then turned her gaze to the window, her face showing no sign of anything amiss.
General Chang stood up and said, "Let's study it first. If there are no surprises, I will start applying for funding after I return to Kyoto. If the spaceships are used well, we may purchase a few more later. You should be prepared."
With a smile on his lips and a sincere expression, Ye Chen said, "We will definitely improve our manufacturing capabilities as soon as possible!"
After several more hours of flight, Mousse 1 landed on Earth.
With the return of the military inspection and visit delegation led by General Chang, the information about the new generation of spacecraft caused a sensation in the military!
The government approved the funding at the fastest speed and immediately signed a purchase contract with Mousse Military Industry.
Meanwhile, the military was conducting selections for spaceship crew members.
Officers and soldiers at all levels engaged in unprecedented competition for the first batch of selected positions.
Although the Space Force already has several Luan Bird ships, these are already the most advanced spacecraft on Earth.
However, compared to the new generation of spacecraft, the Luan Bird immediately loses its appeal.
The gap between the Luan Bird and a spaceship is greater in a traditional navy than the gap between a thousand-ton frigate and an aircraft carrier.
One can only operate in coastal waters, while the other can cross the ocean to fight!
As soldiers, no one wants to miss the opportunity to board a spaceship!
Ultimately, under the planning of the military's top brass, a fair and just competition was launched across the entire army. After the winners passed the training, they were able to board the first spaceship!
