Chapter 37, Game Variables

"By this time, they should be over, right?" In an NPC lounge in the town, bar owner Henry shook the wine glass in his hand while waiting for the report in his daughter's hand, "What is written in the data report?" ”

"Five-person team, 16:45 into the book, 17:17 out of the map, a total of 32 minutes, from the previous record of the horizontal comparison, not bad. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Elise held her tablet and looked at the data she had just retrieved from the background, browsing and ticking something in circles. When she saw the set of data at the end of the report, she couldn't help but frown, "The two replica refreshes cleaned up a total of 76 damaged worker ants, and 41 of them could no longer be used...... Father, isn't this scrap rate a bit too much? ”

"I just confirmed with the warehouse that there are more than 200 spare mass production prototypes that have been put into storage, so don't worry." Henry took a sip of the red wine in his glass and shook his head with some disappointment, "The climate has not been ideal in recent years, and even the Cabernet Sauvignon of Bordeaux has tasted much worse than before...... I should have known that I should have added a few more cases of Dorothy Bull's Blood, a wine that is less sensitive to the temperature of the storage environment and has a rich and varied flavor that may be more suitable for this desert night. ”

"Father!" Elise interrupted Henry's self-talk, "Although the production cost of the mass production prototype is indeed low, the scrapped number of copies on the first day of customs clearance exceeded forty units, and once this data is released, customers will question the quality of our technology!" I warned you at the beginning when you decided to use aluminum alloy as the main material, and now the test data confirms my idea. I would now like to solemnly suggest to you once again that the aluminum alloy part be replaced with carbon steel and a new prototype will be put to the test. ”

"Calm down, my child." Henry stretched out his hand and made a "silence" gesture to stop Elise from speaking, "The original purpose of this 'marching ant' explosion-proof robot was designed for those human bomb terrorists, no matter how strong you make it, the bomb will be a pile of scrap metal, and no customer will be willing to pay a high price for a disposable product." As for the attrition rate, you don't have to worry too much about it. After all, they are also an elite team, and the scrap rate will naturally decrease with the participation of ordinary players, so when the time comes, you can take an average and write it in the report and submit it for review, so you don't need to worry about it. ”

"Of course, I don't have a problem with this small digital means, but father, have you forgotten the report on the increase in the R&D budget requested by the Drug R&D Department?" Elise's words made Henry's toast pause, "It's just a gesture for me to revise the audit data, but the original data recorded in the background cannot be erased." Now that the competition for funding in the organization has been put on the surface, you know the consistent style of the group of zombie maniacs in the drug department. If they track down some clues, not to mention your equipment development, my qualification here will also be attacked. ”

“…… You're right, those guys are a problem. Henry put down his wine glass, and after a moment of silence, Zhengse commanded, "In this way, notify the production line, and then the assembled worker ant testing machine will be reinforced with a small amount of carbon steel at the tentacle joints, and then analyze the damaged position and damage of the forty scrapped machines today, and see if the metal thickness should be adjusted...... The manufacturing process of the purchasing machine remains the same. Doing so will make the scrap rate drop more naturally, and the customer should not mind such a small lie. And if the zombie doctors in the Department of Medicines can catch some of the voices and dare to put the real data on the table to attack us...... When I think about it, the day of being refrigerated by the board of directors is not far away. ”

"I'm afraid they won't be so stupid, but they won't stand still." Elise's finger swiped quickly over the tablet, eventually locking on to a page of player stats, "Of the 41 scrap machines today, 29 were destroyed by a female player named 'Summer Twilight Fireworks'. However, this person is only an ordinary player in the upper reaches of the various evaluation values in my data reserve...... Don't you think it's a bit strange that none of these people are on our special watch list? ”

"'Summer twilight fireworks?' Henry's expression was stunned, "The one at the top of the list now?" ”

"That's right, and she got acquainted with Lu Pingchuan, one of the 'Double Kings', at the supply station stage, and she also had contact with 'Blue' in the initial stage of the internal test, and now she is still Lu Pingchuan's temporary teammate." Elise enlarged Xia Yan's registration photo and handed the tablet to Henry, "It's not clear about her purpose and position for the time being, but my intuition tells me that we are not the only ones who are pushing forward with the matter of inviting those 'special guests'. ”

"Hehehe, it's getting more and more interesting, isn't it?" After carefully browsing Xia Yan's various information, Henry returned the computer to his daughter and poured himself a glass of scarlet liquid, "The game must be full of unknowns and variables, so as to attract people to constantly raise chips." Now that we have guests who want to join us, of course we should prepare good food and wine to turn this surprise into a real surprise, right? ”

"You're crazy." Elise took the bottle, poured the rest of the bottom into her glass, and drank it down, "But I seem to understand why the board of directors has always chosen to trust you at critical moments over the years. ”

"Victory either favors the madman genius or the stubborn fool." Henry looked away from his daughter's computer and instead turned his gaze to the huge map of the beta core on the wall of the break room, "And my experience is to be a silent person at the same time, setting the dishes on the table and waiting for victory to knock on the door, my child. ”
