Details of the federal procurement contract quickly spread within Anaheim Defense.

Most of the employees outside the technology development department are overjoyed, and the profits from purchasing stacked armor in large quantities are enough to make all employees have a fat year.

In the office of the company's core technology development department, there is a different scene: a group of technicians are in full swing to draw drawings and formulate processing technology, all of them are gritting their teeth......

It's rare to go to the technology development center, and Martha Bister Kabein, who wants to taunt Liuyun, sees that Liuyun's employees are all looking like enemies, and the good mood of schadenfreude is suddenly gone: if he takes advantage of the low tide of the technology development center to step on it again, he will definitely be unlucky......

"After so many years of ordnance design, this is the first time I have seen a blatant request for the purchase of the monkey version of the munitions."

"The boss said, while ensuring the minimum indicator line, try to reduce the cost, as for the cost saved," the team leader smiled and looked at the oldest technician in his group, "The boss asked the headquarters, all as our bonuses ......"

"And this good thing?!" The old employee's eyes widened, "You can blatantly cut corners, this is the dream of many designers, and there are bonuses to get, I'm not dreaming, right?" ”

The team leader nodded helplessly: "Although saying this damages the great image of our technicians, this is the case!" ”

As part of the ordnance development, there are also some military fans in the technology development department who can be called senior experts.

As soon as they saw the technical indicators of the simplified beggar version of MS, many technicians who often visit military forums understood the hidden inside story behind the procurement contract: within the Federation, it is still the giant ship cannon party that is in charge, even if it sees a real threat, it can choose to ignore it in the name of a low-probability event......

"I really don't cry when I don't see the coffin!"

"Boss, since the technical indicators of MS have been reduced, is this skeleton ......" The soldiers under the team leader are still in contact with Jian Pei for the first time, except for the lack of heart, or the lack of heart.

"Of course we have to lower the specifications," the team leader smiled slightly, "With such low technical indicators, can you use titanium alloy?" You go and get in touch with the boat team and ask them about the material properties of their regular keel! ”

The soldier's eyes widened: "This is also too much!" ”

The group leader glanced at his subordinates: "If you don't reduce the allocation, in case Xi crashes over those thin-skinned and stuffed giant ships......"

"I get it......"

Not only the skeleton team, but other teams are also constantly working hard to simplify the configuration in order to push the performance of the body down a little further.

"Why are armor plates so good? What if the main gun of the battleship is blocked? ”

Then, the armor of the airframe changed from phase change interference armor to laminated armor......

"What, and a serious excess?" The leader of the armored group suddenly had a big head, and he struggled for a while before he spoke, "Then change to ultra-high tensile steel!" ”

And the leader of the weapons group next to the armored group is also frowning: the power of the small particle cannon that can fire in bursts exceeds the target too much......

Or do you want to change the continuous hair to a single shot?

In this case, the power requirements for reactors and generators are much smaller......

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his thinking was very positive, and he immediately had a video conference with the leader of the power team......

"Old man, I thought about it, after the beam trolls are changed from continuous to single, the power of the reactor can be reduced!"

"Thanks, brother!" The leader of the power team had gratitude written on his face, thought about it for a while, and asked tentatively, "Man, those two beam sabers on the backpack are also big power consumers, can you ......?"

"That's right!" The leader of the weapons team slapped his thigh sharply, "Why didn't I think of that!" This can be there, you can wait a minute......"

An hour later, the beam saber that came standard on the RX-70 series was turned into an alloy armor-piercing knife made from reactor shield scraps on the simple beggar version of the backpack......

"What a great idea, it saves materials and reduces the load on the reactor......"

A month later, the simplified beggar version of the RX-70 was released: the generator, which was originally as high as 2400KW, was reduced all the way to the level of only 965KW, and correspondingly, the size of the reactor was reduced by nearly a quarter; As for the rest of the parts, they have shrunk so much that they can't even stand their own people......

Seeing the three strange airframes on the shelves of the test site, the team leaders who participated in the design were a little weak.

"Boss, can this thing really move?"

"No problem!" Liu Yun, the general person in charge of the project, is full of confidence, "It has been checked in the company's supercomputing center, and the performance has slightly exceeded the predetermined indicators." ”

Hearing Liuyun's confident answer, Kraven, the test pilot on the side, breathed a sigh of relief: Just move......

At the start of the test, Crowin took the elevator to the cockpit door......

"it!" Seeing the layout in the cockpit, the eldest young master directly burst into a foul mouth, "This is too perfunctory, right?" ”

"Man, 50 million dollars, what do you want!"

"Okay!"

Grand Master Claven had no choice but to climb into the cockpit, buckle up his seatbelt, and insert the key into the keyhole......

"It's not slow!"

The leader of the software system team sitting in the main control room smiled: It's almost naked, and no matter how much you simplify the system, it's almost gone, can you not be slow?

"The reactor starts, the main generator starts, the power system is normal, and the robotic arm can be released......"

"Loosen the ...... of the Bondage"

"......"

"Big young master, what's the matter?" Liuyun covered his head.

"This mech is too slow to respond, compared to the prototype," Kraven gritted his teeth, "and the gap is as big as a classic car and oxcart poison put together." ”

Flowing Cloud Giant Khan: "Fifty million things, you will just open it!" ”

"Claude, you'll be honest, how much does this scrap metal under my ass cost?"

As soon as they heard the eldest young master ask about the cost, the group leaders all widened their eyes and pricked up their ears: This is related to everyone's bonuses and benefits......

"After removing the development costs of the RX-70 series, the profit margin per unit is about 40 percent, right?"

A group of group leaders behind Liuyun looked at each other: This is too dark, isn't it?

Removing the nearly one billion development costs of the RX-70 series, that is to say, the cost of each unit is only about 18 million......

After finishing the calculation, all the team leaders gave their bosses an admiring look: the cost of MS is lower than that of the Federation's cutting-edge June 1st main battle tank, which is too talented, right?

"Man, this is just the cost of the trial machine, if it is produced in large quantities, the cost should be reduced!"

"Gollum ......"

Finally, someone in the crowd couldn't stand the blow of money, and one of them stumbled to the ground......

"Kraven, the test isn't over yet!"

"Alright then!"

Kraven picked up the test item list on the main control board and ticked the column of the body's response delay......

Although Kraven was somewhat unhappy with the response delay of the simplified Beggar's version of the body, the response delay was within the limits of the design specifications.

As for whether the Federation's pilots can survive encountering Jean's MS in such a mech, it is not within the scope of Grand Young Master Kraven's consideration......
