Chapter 396 Electromagnetic gun, meat.
He called Frederick to ask him a question. Although the other party looked serious, Wang Ze could still find out through his supernatural power that his heart rate was not normal.
"Okay, tell me, what's going on?" Wang Ze interrupted Frederick's explanation. If he didn't give him a reasonable explanation, he would let the other party know why the Chinese patriarch is called the patriarch.
"Hehe, Patriarch, there are a lot of things we want to add, so the drawings have not been finalized." Frederick said with a dry laugh.
"Oh? How to add it?" Wang Ze asked curiously.
Frederick didn't say anything but walked to the side, found a few pictures and spread them on the table.
Then he said, "Look, Patriarch, this is our last design. We added a helicopter pad and a tail hatch at the rear. It can carry four armored vehicles or an air cushion craft. The anti-aircraft missiles and anti-ship missiles have also been upgraded. The armor on both sides can be opened, and twenty anti-aircraft missile launchers are loaded inside. A hidden, elevating rapid-fire gun is designed at the bow."
Frederick was very excited when he said this. They had already used this ship as an experimental platform.
Anything that is theoretically achievable is added without considering the difficulty of construction.
Wang Ze even saw the electromagnetic gun design on the top of the ship, and quickly interrupted and said, "What are you doing? This is a cruise ship."
Frederick's excited face froze. It was not easy to let the clan leader build it personally. They all wanted to verify their ideas, and the result was that the ship became a monster.
"It's safe this way..." Frederick forced himself to explain.
"What's the situation with the electromagnetic gun?" Wang Ze asked unhappily, pointing at the electromagnetic gun on the drawing.
This project was not his, so Frederick thought for a moment before saying, "We've calculated that with nuclear power as the energy source and bone essence as the inner track, the projectile's exit velocity can be increased to 5000 meters per second."
Wang Ze was quite excited when he heard that he was sure, but thinking of bone essence, he asked, "Why do we need bone essence? Can't we use other materials instead?"
"Yes, but the power will be much smaller. When bone essences are combined together, they will form an electronic force field, which greatly increases the initial speed of the projectile. After calculation, it can directly tear through a 20-meter steel plate. But without bone essences, the performance does not have an epoch-making advantage over artillery." Frederick frowned and said.
He also knew the rarity of bone essence material, but in his opinion, the electromagnetic gun would be too impractical if it was not used.
Bone Essence can strike at hypersonic speed up to 500 kilometers away, and because of the extremely high initial velocity, the stability it brings will also ensure a certain degree of accuracy.
If it is made of ordinary materials, then if you want to ensure accuracy and power, the strike range can only be less than 200 kilometers.
The difference is huge.
"Let's design the electromagnetic gun blueprint first, and then build one in the city to test it out." Wang Ze said after considering it.
"Great! Give us a week and we will finish it." Frederick said excitedly.
Wang Ze decided to continue to increase the development of the breeding industry, but he would continue to increase the scale of breeding. Private farms could only engage in special breeding, such as deer, crocodiles, etc.
The price of commonly used meat in South China is now extremely low. The breeding in Xindao has been effective, and a large amount of meat is shipped to various parts of South China every week.
The price of rice in Nanhua is 1 yuan per pound, and meat only costs yuan per pound.
Nowadays, many Nanhua citizens are tired of eating meat and pay more attention to serving green vegetables on the table.
As a result, vegetable prices have increased significantly.
If breeding continues to increase, Wang Zezhen is worried that meat will be cheaper than rice in the future.
In other words, the aquaculture on Nanhua New Island is official aquaculture, and they don’t care about profits at all. Their main purpose is to extract bone essence from animal bones.
Meat is actually a by-product, otherwise no one can afford such a price.
Wang Ze let Frederick design it and returned to the mountain base.
As for the cruise ship, he was too lazy to pay attention to it for the time being. Now he wanted to take a look at the electromagnetic gun.
Once successful, we only need to build one electromagnetic cannon each in Andaman Island, Phu Quoc Island, Singapore, and Yemen, and then basically the entire Southeast Asia will be within range.
The electromagnetic gun's high firing rate and cheap shells allow it to fire at will in the event of war without having to consider logistics.
Install one on Phu Quoc Island. After the United States withdraws, even if South China does not send troops, Wang Ze can't imagine how South Vietnam will lose.
Now some of the bone essence must be reserved for the Ze particle missiles, and the rest, according to the design of the research institute, is only enough for two electromagnetic cannons.
If successful, the question is where to install the second door.
It definitely won't work on a cruise ship. Although the electromagnetic cannon can shoot far, the cruise ship shakes on the sea. Even with the Abyss Chip's high-speed calculations to stabilize the electromagnetic cannon's shooting, it still can't guarantee shooting accuracy at distances of more than 500 kilometers.
These people in the research institute are simply using their cruise ship as an opportunity to verify technology, Wang Ze thought unhappily.
A few days later, Wang Ze met with people from the Ministry of Agriculture and told them about the need to continue increasing current meat production.
Xu Qiuyuan was stunned when he heard the clan leader's words, and immediately advised: "Clan leader, we can't increase production anymore. Now the cats and dogs in the citizens' homes are fed beef every day."
"Stabilize the current price, and export the excess quantity to the mainland at a higher price." Wang Ze said after thinking for a while.
"What can the mainland buy it with?" Xu Qiuyuan said in embarrassment.
He knew that the mainland owed Nanhua various debts that would take decades to repay.
If the number continues to increase, his performance as the leader of the Ministry of Agriculture will be too embarrassing.
"Give them the price of 50 cents per pound in mainland currency and let them exchange it for the refined rare earths." Wang Ze said.
He was also helpless. The mainland simply did not have what Nanhua needed. Even if it had obtained rare earth minerals, Nanhua could only find a place to store them.
But at least rare earths are still useful things, with great value in the future, and can be used in various high-tech materials.
Seeing Wang Ze say this, Xu Qiuyuan had no choice but to say that he would do as he was told.
For aquaculture on Xindao, the scale will continue to increase to an annual output of one million tons.
Afterwards, Xu Qiuyuan contacted the mainland through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The mainland immediately expressed its willingness to import all products. After all, the import price is lower than the domestic cost.
Even including the shipping cost, it is still worth it.
However, considering the domestic breeding industry, the price will definitely increase to maintain the current domestic meat price.
Just with these external sources of meat, the ration per person can be doubled.
