Chapter 567: Remuneration Issues
"And how strong will he become?" Now that the candidate has been decided, Hogg is now worried about strength. After all, what we want here is a hero, you can't give me the whole super soldier to come out, no matter what, you have to have the combat effectiveness of a beautiful team.
"How strong he can get depends entirely on what the price is paying. Oresses' eyes lifted slightly, and a light shot out from within.
"You can rest assured that although it is still a little difficult for us to equip our entire army with your advanced armor, if we only customize one superhero, we still have plenty of money to prepare. Hogg naturally thinks that this so-called price should be paid, and I can make him as strong as you can give. This is completely understandable, after all, if you don't have kryptonite, how can you become stronger?
"I think you misunderstood me. But Oresses shook her head and said, "What I want to ask is, what price can he pay?"
"Huh?" Hogg was a little confused, he still didn't understand what the Eredar Twins meant.
"This man is just an ordinary person, and he has to be transformed if he wants to be a superhero. Looking at the other party's bewildered face, Salorath had to take the trouble to explain, "The more he is transformed, the stronger he becomes, but in the same way, the less space he can keep in his original ordinary body, so what we want to ask is how much human body he can give up." ”
In short, the stronger you are, the less like a human being, and if you are strong to the extreme, you will not be a human being. The key is that he, Jeffrey Mason himself, can accept this setting?
"At least keep the appearance of a normal person. At this time, Rose suddenly interjected, but he still remembered the situation of those evil people who attacked the special military base at that time.
The umbrella claims that it is their product, strong is indeed strong enough, ten people form a defensive line, a reinforced battalion of soldiers can not penetrate for an hour, if you do not use armored units, it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose in the end. But their appearance is almost out of the category of human beings, especially that face, which can make people cry ugly alive.
"That's right, the appearance must be in normal shape. Hogg glanced at Rose, thinking that this might be the experience of this old colleague who had studied the Enhancer Project for half his life, and that it was a statement to his heart.
It is necessary for a hero to have strong strength, but it is not enough to be able to fight, and it is also necessary to be able to lead the spirit of the times, improve the prestige of the government, and unite the people. So this requires that the hero must also have a good appearance, not necessarily handsome, but at least normal, if he can be a little tougher, it would be better. But if you want to be the same as that abomination after you come out, it's not great enough to look at it, so don't mention what unites the hearts of the people, and the rotten eggs in the hands of the people are almost the same.
"The appearance remains normal... So we can do whatever we want to transform the inside?" Salorath frowned, to be honest, she had even thought of the transformation plan now, and directly cut Mason like a fish, dug up all the bones, internal organs, and threw them away, and replaced him with a new one, "But, is it still the same sentence, will he agree to it?"
Mason's desire to be a superhero is strong, and he has long been determined to sacrifice everything for his country. Hog Yangyang rolled the list in his hand and said with his lower lip out, "In fact, these people are like this, otherwise the Ministry of Defense would not have selected them." ”
"Then we can now talk about compensation. Salorath smiled gracefully again, but spoke like a profiteer.
"You make an offer. Hogg, on the other hand, looked wealthy, leaning up on the back of his back, waiting for an offer.
"It's free. Who knew that Salorath said, "This incident is just a gift from me to the Ministry of Defense, and there is no charge for it." ”
Hogg, who is familiar with the faces of capitalists, obviously doesn't believe that the other party will have such good intentions: "I guess, you must have some conditions attached, right?"
"There is indeed a small condition. Salorath nodded, "I want to ask for a little power from the government. ”
"What power?" Hogg asked.
"There are a lot of people in the world who want to do what we do, but we see their research institute as a small workshop, and it is a black workshop without any license. Oresses shook her head disdainfully at this, "Their technology is not only inferior but also full of flaws, and the heads of these black workshops will not choose to serve the country like us, they seem to like to use their technology for illegal profiteering activities, and the Killian incident is the best proof of this." ”
"So—" There was no need to be reminded of these things, and Hogg knew a little bit about them, so he felt that what the other party said next was the point.
"So when a similar incident happens, can the U.S. government authorize our company to resolve it? ”
When Hogg heard this request, his face immediately changed, and he shook his head resolutely, "This is not good, how much money you want, it is easy to discuss." ”
"General, you have to understand that we are not going to interfere with the justice of the United States at all. Although he was rejected, Salorath did not give up and continued to fight, "Our processing team will be officially registered as a special security team, as mercenaries hired by the military, and no commission will be charged, and all the criminals we capture will be handed over to the US judicial authorities for a notarized trial." ”
"Of course, you will definitely transfer, what are you doing with those people?" Hogg sneered, indicating that he had already seen through everything, "You want their technology, you want to monopolize all the enhancer technology into your own hands." ”
"What's wrong with that?" said Oresses strangely, spreading her hands, "They don't want to cooperate with the government, and their technology is very crude and flawed, so let's recycle and optimize it, make it into a product, and then hand it over to the government, what's wrong with that?"
"But the government has to give you money, right?" Hogg asked in a cold voice.
"Our prices are fair and reasonable. Auresis shrugged her shoulders and said, "If you mind our monopoly, we can share the new technology we have acquired in the operation with you, but what's the use?"
"It's not that we are boasting, our company is definitely the best in this industry, only we can quickly memorize and optimize these technologies, so whether your military keeps these technologies for your own research, or gives them to someone else, not to mention how much precious time you will waste, just how much money do you plan to invest in it?"
"Hmm...," Ross scratched his head, a little reluctant to answer the question, but seeing that everyone else was looking at him, he had to reluctantly say, "10 billion dollars a year, and it may not be fruitful, at least that's what I did when I researched." ”
Listening to Rose's words, Hogg is a pinch of teeth, he doesn't think this old boy will lie, although he has been a little close to the Ereda Twins recently, but the military's financial expenditures are all recorded by the Ministry of Defense, and you will know when you look back.
And how long has the Roth Research Enhancer Project been researching? It's been 20 years! This means that they have spent $200 billion on funds, and that's not counting the government's public spending, not counting the funds that some plutocrats secretly support behind the geography.
And he was also very unfortunate to have a big accident, in order to deal with the aftermath for him, the government may spend more money than he used for research.
Moreover, if it is only a matter of money, the US government has a lot of money anyway, and its military spending is also very generous, and it can be solved by gritting its teeth. But the point is that this time... Not to mention that 20 years is shortened by half, and ten years is enough time to survive.
In the past ten years, Gemini may have completed the technical analysis and optimization long ago, and updated several levels. My side has just produced results, which is completely uncompetitive, and won't it still be a monopoly when the time comes?
"So it seems," said Oresses smugly, "it's more affordable to buy finished products from our company, what do you think, General?"
After thinking about these crux of the matter, Hogg's attitude softened slightly, not as resolute as at the beginning, but he still didn't make a decision in the end, "I can't decide this kind of thing, just go back and ask the president." ”
