Chapter 249: Getting Better

p1()

A few days later, Tang Jie came up with a new mecha design plan, which was so fast that Liu Yi was surprised.

"Got the plan out so quickly? You can't be fooling me, is it? Liu Yi asked in surprise.

Tang Jie smiled slightly and said, "You are underestimating me, it may take several months to develop a new design plan, but if it is just a revision and modification, a few days are enough." Do I need to lie to you? See for yourself. ”

Liu Yi nodded, and opened the design plan sent by Tang Jie, it turned out that Tang Jie's design plan was based on the fighter with some modifications, removing a lot of functions, and reducing the manufacturing cost of the mecha by nearly 25 or so.

Although this plan has reduced the performance of the mecha, it is enough to sell it to Mei Yuqi. Although this is a simplified version of the Fighter, it is still much more advanced in terms of technology and design than those broken mechs in the foreign colonies.

Liu Yi read the whole plan and said with great satisfaction: "Great, this design is very suitable for Mei Yuqi's needs, not only the manufacturing difficulty is small, but also the cost is reduced a lot, and when the production line is built, it can be mass-produced immediately." ”

Tang Jie said: "The factory in the Bingfeng base is so large, I think it would be a bit of a waste to only produce this kind of mass-produced mecha, and it is completely possible to produce some forward-looking new mechas, maybe there will be a big market in the future." ”

When Liu Yi heard Tang Jie say this, he knew that she must have a new idea, so he immediately asked, "What new product have you thought of, tell me about it." ”

"I can't tell you yet, but I'll definitely give you a big surprise when the time comes!" Tang Jie said with a smug smile.

"It's so mysterious, what kind of new product is it?"

"You'll know when the time comes." Tang Jie patted Liu Yi's shoulder and said.

A few months later, the first mecha production line at the Bingfeng base was finally installed and commissioned, and Tang Jie's newly designed mecha also started production as soon as possible.

Tang Jie named this new mecha: Ice Peak Warrior Type 1, and the first batch of about 500 units will be produced, and all of them will be supplied to Mei Yuqi, even if it is as a reward for her helping the construction of the Ice Peak base.

Shangguanqi led a group of soldiers from the White Rock Fortress to test the first batch of products off the production line, and the results were very satisfactory, although in terms of durability and performance, the Ice Peak Warriors could not compare with the fighters, but the super high cost performance was very suitable for the needs of foreign colonies.

According to Shangguanqi's evaluation, although the Ice Peak Warrior is not as good as the fighter, compared with other mecha of the same level, the performance is not lagging behind in all aspects, and the cost is about 15 lower, which is very suitable for mass production of mecha.

Soon after the product rolled off the production line, Mei Yuqi personally brought people to the Bingfeng base to pick up the goods, and when they saw more than a hundred brand-new mechas, they were so excited that they were almost speechless.

One of Mei Yuqi's officers personally took a test drive, and after the end, he was heard to say in an extremely excited tone: "It's really good! The manoeuvrability and maneuverability are excellent! Compared to the mecha we usually use, this is simply a magic weapon! ”

Seeing him so excited, Liu Yi and the others said: "This is nothing, we have a better mecha than this, it's just the price......"

The officer waved his hand and smiled, "This is good enough, I'm afraid we can't afford a better mecha." ”

After saying that, everyone burst out laughing.

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was chatting happily, Mei Yuqi quietly pulled Liu Yi aside and said in a low voice: "The money for these mechas, I'm afraid it will take a while to give it to you, and now the war in our Tuoyuan Star is relatively tight, and it may not be able to ...... for a while."

Liu Yi smiled: "What are you talking about, this batch of mecha was originally given to you by us, when did you have to pay?" ”

Mei Yuqi was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then asked in surprise, "You're not joking, are you?" So many mecha white to us? ”

Liu Yi shook his head and said: "Actually, it's not for nothing, it should be said that I paid you, you found such a big base for me, I don't know how much money I saved for me, these mecha can be regarded as a little payment." ”

"At that time, I didn't say that you would be paid for using mechas, can the company still afford to do this?" Mei Yuqi asked.

"Don't worry, we can still afford these hundreds of mechas." Liu Yi said with a smile: "There are a total of 120 mecha in the first batch, and there are more than 300 in the back, a total of 500 mechas, all of which I will pay you." When the production is finished, you can come and pick it up at any time. ”

"500 units!" Mei Yuqi was taken aback, she didn't expect Liu Yi to send so many mecha to herself.

"If it's not enough, we can increase production, but I'll say the ugly things first, and I'll have to collect money later." Liu Yi said with a smile.

Mei Yuqi's eyes were a little red with gratitude, and she said repeatedly: "Don't worry, we will pay in full in the future, and we will definitely not bargain!" ”

Liu Yi asked with some curiosity: "There is a sentence I don't know whether to ask or not, when will your war end, and how many mecha will be needed in the future?" If it's not convenient for you to say, you don't have to answer at all. ”

Mei Yuqi said: "It's okay, it's not a secret. According to our estimates, it will probably take another 2-3 years to end all wars, and the follow-up mechs may be no less than 1,000 units. ”

Liu Yi thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I probably have a plan in my heart, I will let the factory give priority to ensuring the supply of your mechas, and strive to let you end the war as soon as possible." ”

"I have a request, I wonder if you will grant it?" Mei Yuqi suddenly asked with a red face.

Liu Yi looked at Mei Yuqi and was stunned for a few seconds, somehow his heartbeat suddenly increased a lot, and he said slowly: "Say, what are your requests?" ”

Mei Yuqi hesitated slightly, bit her lip, and then said, "Can you be here...... Before the end of our war...... Don't sell mechs to our competitors? ”

After Mei Yuqi finished speaking, she looked at Liu Yi with expectant eyes, Liu Yi suddenly felt a sense of loss in her heart, and said secretly: "It turns out ...... It's just such a request......"

Liu Yi's mind was a little confused, and Mei Yuqi saw that he didn't answer immediately, thinking that Liu Yi was hesitating, and couldn't help but show an anxious look on her face.

"I know that such a request is a bit excessive, after all, the military-industrial complex does business on both sides, and the longer the war is fought, the better. However, the war has been going on for too long, and I hope that the war will end sooner, and we can compensate for your losses in other ways in the future! See if you can grant me this request......" Mei Yuqi said in a voice that was almost pleading.

Before Mei Yuqi finished speaking, Liu Yi interrupted her and said, "You don't need to say it, we won't sell mecha to others, before your war is over, our mecha will only be sold to you outside the country." ”

"Really?" Mei Yuqi asked in disbelief.

Liu Yi said: "Of course, I am not the kind of mercenary businessman, in fact, I also hope that your war can end as soon as possible." In the same way, I hope that the other colonies outside the country will soon return to normal life. The war went on all the time, and it wasn't actually a good thing for the borders of the empire. ”

"Thank you for thinking so! In the future, when the war is over, I will find a way to repay you! Mei Yuqi held Liu Yi's hand tightly and said.

Liu Yi smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "You don't have to be so polite, maybe I will beg you in the future, I hope you don't refuse me at that time." ”

"Rest assured, the friendship between us, I will never forget!" Mei Yuqi said solemnly.

"Friendship...... Liu Yi suddenly felt a little bitter in his heart.

After Mei Yuqi and the others left, Liu Yi began to constantly run back and forth between the White Rock Fortress and the Ice Peak Base.

With the continuous improvement of the Bingfeng base, Liu Yi felt that there was a shortage of manpower around him, since he was busy recruiting workers for the Bingfeng base, and he had to organize the transportation and procurement of various equipment, in addition, he had to manage the fortress and the base at the same time, even if he had three heads and six arms, it was not enough.

Liu Yi thought to himself, he must find someone to manage the Bingfeng base for him, but unfortunately it is difficult to find such a talent for a while, and he must be of the same heart as himself.

After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Yi finally thought of a suitable candidate, this person was Old Man Tang.

For the construction of the Bingfeng base, Old Man Tang was more enthusiastic than Liu Yihe, and not only gave great support in terms of funds and equipment. In addition, the old man also ran around and brought a lot of funds to Liu Yi to invest in the shares, which shows that the old man has great expectations for this base.

If you can invite the old man to help, Liu Yi can be freed from cumbersome management, not to mention that the old man has been running Starlink for decades, and the management and operation are much stronger than Liu Yi's half-ass.

After making up his mind, Liu Yi encouraged Tang Jie as soon as he had time, asking her to invite the old man to the base to have a look and give guidance to the base.

At first, Tang Jie didn't pay much attention to Liu Yi's words, but Liu Yi told Tang Jie every once in a while, and Tang Jie was also a little tempted after a long time.

"Do you really want me to bring Grandpa?" On this day, Liu Yi talked to Tang Jie about this matter again, and Tang Jie finally couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, for such a big project, Starlink has invested so much money and equipment, so it is safe for the old man to check it, so as not to have problems in the future, which will affect the whole body." Liu Yi deliberately said that the more serious the situation, the better.

After listening to Liu Yi's words, Tang Jie thought for a moment, nodded and said, "You have a point, it's good to let grandpa take a look, after all, running a business is what he is best at." ”

"That's it, you hurry up and contact the old man to see when he comes, and I can arrange someone to receive him." Liu Yi saw that Tang Jie was relieved, and hurriedly said while the iron was hot.

"Okay, I'll get in touch with Grandpa, and it would be nice if he would come." Tang Jie said.
