Chapter 190 The highlight
Fortunately, Jiang Tiansheng's arms factory did not require seamless steel pipes; it only needed the raw materials to produce them, thus avoiding this trouble.
However, the most basic raw materials must be provided; otherwise, the military factory cannot produce them out of thin air.
"I've already opened an account with Global Bank, and there's $20 billion in it, which should be enough for us to use for a while."
This is the advantage of having your own bank.
Otherwise, the money would still have to go through Swiss banks. Regardless of the risks, as long as the US exerts pressure, Swiss banks are no longer neutral banks.
As the saying goes, "When the cannons roar, gold pours in."
Building an army is the most expensive thing. Even though we now have our own military factories, the raw materials for weapons and ammunition are not cheap at all.
Taking this military factory as an example, the current production cost of a Barrett M82A1 is a super-heavy sniper rifle, which is about $3000 per unit.
Over the course of a month, the production cost of just 300 Barrett M82A1 super-heavy sniper rifles alone would be $90.
Doesn't look like much, right?
Don't forget, there's also ammunition.
The average cost of a standard round is around $10, while armor-piercing incendiary rounds are more expensive, averaging around $100 per round.
Tracer rounds are not as expensive as armor-piercing incendiary rounds, but on average, a single tracer round costs $50.
A month's supply of standard ammunition costs $30.
The cost of producing 3000 armor-piercing incendiary rounds would be $30 per month.
Tracer rounds are cheaper to manufacture, but they still cost $15 a month.
If you add everything up, the Barrett M82A1 is an ultra-heavy sniper rifle, and the factory alone costs $165 million per month.
Moreover, don't forget that this is just one of the factories, and one with such low output.
Next, several more factories need to be installed, and it's unknown how much it will cost each month.
"Continue installing the next factory."
Jing Ni followed behind Jiang Tiansheng, who led Jia Xu and Long Wenzhang out of the Barrett M82A1 super heavy sniper rifle factory.
Upon reaching the factory gate, Jiang Tiansheng casually took out a model of the Dragon Scale Armor Level IV bulletproof vest manufacturing plant from behind his Sumeru Storage Ring.
"go"
Jiang Tiansheng gave a low shout, and then threw the model of the Dragon Scale Armor Level IV bulletproof vest manufacturing plant in his hand.
In an instant, the Dragon Scale Armor Level IV bulletproof vest manufacturing plant expanded in the air before finally landing steadily on the mountain.
The factory that manufactures the Dragonscale Armor Level IV body armor is about 1 kilometer away from the Barrett military factory.
After all, these are military facilities, so there are certain safety hazards. One kilometer is not too far.
"Let's go over and have a look."
As Jiang Tiansheng spoke, he walked over first.
Before these military factory models were used, Jiang Tiansheng himself did not know how much output the factory could produce.
Therefore, he also needed to go inside the factory in person to get a general idea of the situation.
"Yes, my lord (commander)."
Jia Xu and Long Wenzhang responded in unison.
Unlike Jing Ni and others, Jia Xu and Long Wenzhang, being in different circumstances, naturally had their own way of addressing Jiang Tiansheng.
After walking for a few minutes, covering a distance of one kilometer, we arrived at the entrance of the Dragon Scale Armor Level IV bulletproof vest manufacturing plant.
Pushing open the door, Jiang Tiansheng walked straight in, followed by Jia Xu and the others.
Inside the factory, there is a Level IV bulletproof vest with dragon scales.
"This Dragon Scale Armor Level IV bulletproof vest is really thin and light."
Jiang Tiansheng took a look and tested it. The Dragon Scale Armor Level IV bulletproof vest was not heavy, weighing only about 3 kilograms.
"I just don't know how the defense is."
As Jiang Tiansheng spoke, he directly instructed Long Wenzhang: "Put this bulletproof vest on the dummy."
"Yes, sir."
Long Wenzhang took the Dragon Scale Armor Level IV bulletproof vest and put it on the dummy next to him.
Seeing this, Jiang Tiansheng walked a little further away, about a hundred meters.
After taking out the Sumeru Ring, he took out a Glock G17C pistol, held it with one hand, aimed it at the bulletproof vest, and fired more than ten shots.
"bang bang bang"
Gunshots echoed throughout the factory manufacturing the Dragonscale Armor Level IV bulletproof vest.
After Jiang Tiansheng stopped, he walked over and took a look himself. He saw that the Dragon Scale Armor Level IV bulletproof vest had no changes on its appearance except for some minor scratches.
Opening the bulletproof vest, I looked at the gel dummy inside, and there was no sign of injury whatsoever.
"Not bad."
Jiang Tiansheng nodded in satisfaction.
Then he took out an M16A4 automatic rifle, pulled the bolt, chambered a bullet, and pulled the trigger.
Bullets were fired in succession, and flashes of light appeared from the muzzle of the gun.
Although the M16A4 automatic rifle has low recoil, it does not mean it has no recoil, especially when firing in bursts.
Fortunately, Jiang Tiansheng was able to easily control the muzzle of the gun so that it wouldn't move.
Almost all 30 bullets hit the Dragonscale Armor Level IV body armor, and they were mostly concentrated in an area of about 5 centimeters.
Upon closer inspection, the Dragon Scale Armor Level IV bulletproof vest did indeed have some dents in the 5-centimeter area, but that was all.
These two tests alone are enough to demonstrate the power of this Dragonscale Armor Level IV bulletproof vest.
"No wonder it's a bulletproof vest that can compete for the top spot even decades later; the quality is truly outstanding." Jiang Tiansheng looked at the Dragon Scale Armor Level IV bulletproof vest in front of him with a broad smile.
With this Dragon Scale Level IV bulletproof vest, the safety of his subordinates is now much more secure.
At the same time, it would also make it easier for him to expand his power.
The Dragon Scale Armor Level IV bulletproof vest is excellent in every way, and its protective effect is also very good.
But there's one thing!
expensive!
too expensive!
A Barrett rifle costs only $3000, while this Dragonscale Armor Level IV body armor costs as much as $5,000 per set.
$5000 a piece, if you only consider one piece, it might not seem that expensive.
But when you add them all up, it becomes expensive.
The Dragonscale Armor Level IV bulletproof vest factory can produce an average of 100 sets per day, which means it costs $50 a day, and $1500 million a month.
Just now, the Barrett M82A1 is a super-heavy sniper rifle factory that only needs $165 million per month.
Now, with the switch to the Dragonscale Armor Level IV bulletproof vest factory, the monthly revenue has increased to $1500 million.
"The sound of cannons brings in a fortune," Jiang Tiansheng couldn't help but exclaim.
Bulletproof vests are also a type of consumable item.
The entire army currently has 30,000 personnel. If each person is given one piece of armor, the Dragonscale Armor Level IV bulletproof vest factory would need to produce it continuously for 300 days, which would cost a total of 150 million US dollars.
Of course, this is just based on one per person; we always need to reserve some extra just in case.
Moreover, the figure of 30,000 is only for the present.
Although it cost a lot, it was nothing compared to the money Jiang Tiansheng earned every day.
Putting aside everything else, Star Power alone can bring him nearly HK$10 billion in profit a year, which is about US$15 billion.
In addition, Star Power is currently preparing to enter the Macau market, which will definitely increase profits, followed by the Taiwan market, and so on.
This doesn't even include the profits generated by Xinghe Hospital, which brings in $1 million a day, totaling over $2 billion a year.
For now, it should be enough.
"On to the next one."
As Jiang Tiansheng spoke, he walked out of the Dragon Scale Armor Level IV bulletproof vest factory.
Currently, the Dragonscale Armor Level IV body armor factory and the Barrett M82A1 super-heavy sniper rifle factory are just one of many.
There are several more major projects to come, such as factories for tanks, fighter jets, etc., which are the real big projects.
After going outside, Jiang Tiansheng placed the PF98 120mm anti-tank rocket launcher munitions factory in a selected location.
After the factory was completed, Jiang Tiansheng went inside and familiarized himself with the layout.
这个PF98式120毫米反坦克火箭筒军火工厂，平均每天可以生产出100具PF98式120毫米反坦克火箭筒。
The cost of a single PF98 120mm anti-tank rocket launcher is as high as US$10,000.
Meanwhile, the PF98 120mm anti-tank rocket launcher munitions factory can also produce three types of 120mm armor-piercing rounds, high-explosive rounds, and incendiary rounds specifically for rocket launchers.
The three types of rockets can produce an average of 100 rockets per day.
The average cost of these three types of rockets is $1000 per rocket.
All told, the production of the PF98 120mm anti-tank rocket launcher alone costs $100 million a day, which adds up to $3000 million a month.
The cost of rockets is slightly lower, averaging $30 per day, or $900 million per month.
Currently, this PF98 120mm anti-tank rocket launcher arms factory is generating the highest monthly revenue, reaching $3900 million.
Including the PF98 120mm anti-tank rocket launcher factory, the three current military factories require a total of US$5565 million per month.
"If we didn't have the money, we really wouldn't be able to produce this equipment," Jiang Tiansheng said with a slight shake of his head after calculating.
Fortunately, he doesn't have much else, but he has a lot of money.
One Xinghe Hospital alone is enough to support his current needs.
Next is the ACH (Advanced Combat Helmet) production plant. This bulletproof helmet is not very expensive, costing only $2000. It can produce 100 helmets a day, which is 3000 helmets a month, costing $600 million.
Next up is the first major event.
At the Type 99A tank and armored vehicle factory, Jiang Tiansheng found a flat spot and placed the factory model there.
In an instant, the Type 99A tank and armored vehicle factory began to grow larger.
In the blink of an eye, it was transformed into a tank factory that was 100 meters long, 50 meters wide, and 10 meters high.
With anticipation in his heart, Jiang Tiansheng walked into the factory.
He had never seen many of the facilities inside before, since he wasn't a professional.
After taking a look, I went straight to the control room.
Through the control room, Jiang Tiansheng learned that this Type 99A tank factory could produce one Type 99A tank every three days.
The average cost of each Type 99A tank is approximately US$350 million.
Ten Type 99A tanks can be produced in a month, which amounts to 3500 million US dollars per month.
"It's alright, not too expensive."
Jiang Tiansheng was filled with anticipation.
A year later, he will have a tank torrent consisting of a hundred Type 99A tanks.
By then, the entire island of Sumatra will be practically conquered, if not completely flattened.
