"Hey, where are you taking me?" Tang Jie asked.

Liu Yi replied with a smile: "You just come with me, you will naturally understand when you get to the place." ”

Hearing this, Tang Jie stopped talking, and the two of them entered the elevator one after the other, all the way to the underground garage.

Liu Yi asked Tang Jie to get in the car, and then he also got into the car and said, "Go to the base outside the city." ”

The AI replied, "Please do it, the vehicle is about to start." ”

Then the vehicle started, and a gust of wind rushed out of the underground garage, all the way to the outside of Yaqiu City.

Out of Yaqiu City, there were fewer and fewer vehicles on the road, and Liu Yi said at this time: "I'll take you to our base to have a look, after seeing it, you will know why I want to use technology to buy shares, I believe you will not be disappointed." ”

Tang Jie saw Liu Yi's confident appearance, and said secretly in his heart: "What advanced technology can you have as a militia organization, shouldn't you treat what others have eliminated as the latest technology?" In this kind of backward place, I don't believe that there will be any great new technology. ”

Tang Jie had also seen a lot of people who claimed to have developed new technologies before, but after reading them, the results were very disappointing, many of the so-called folk technologies had actually been eliminated by the imperial government a long time ago, but the people didn't know about it.

Tang Jie felt that Liu Yi and these people were just a group of militiamen nested in the backward place of Yaqiu. In such a place, such a group of people, it is very unlikely that a new technology can be made, in short, she is ready to be disappointed in her heart.

The vehicle drove more than a dozen kilometers outside the city, then turned into a hidden road and drove all the way into the mountains.

After walking more than ten kilometers on the winding mountain road, I saw that the scenery in front of me suddenly opened up, and a large flat open space appeared in front of me.

At the end of the road, a tall, silvery-white circular building stands on the ground, reflecting a harsh glow in the sunlight.

"That's where we're based." Liu Yi pointed to the silver-white building and said with a slight smugness.

"Is that a lab?" Tang Jie asked casually while putting his glasses on.

"Sort of, it's both a laboratory and our workshop, dedicated to mecha research." Liu Yi introduced.

As he spoke, the vehicle slowly stopped, and it turned out that there was already a checkpoint ahead, and several militiamen with loaded guns were standing in front of the roadblock, ready to inspect the vehicle.

When the militiamen saw that it was Liu Yi, they immediately stood upright and gave a military salute to Liu Yi, Liu Yi nodded and said, "This is the guest I brought." ”

Since it was Liu Yi and the guests he brought, the militiamen naturally let them go immediately, the barricades were quickly put away, and the vehicles slowly drove into the base.

The two of them came all the way to the silver building, and at this time Tang Jie realized that this building was bigger than he imagined, and when he got closer, it looked like a huge egg, and the silver-white appearance obviously had the effect of absorbing light energy.

"It really looks like that, I don't know what's going on inside?" Tang Jie said in his heart.

Liu Yi took Tang Jie through two more checkpoints before entering the building, and the scene in front of him immediately surprised Tang Jie, a well-informed eldest lady.

In the tall and spacious building, more than a dozen mechs are being transformed and assembled on the workbench, various workers are busy operating engineering robots, and many researchers are gathering to discuss problems.

Tang Jie's mouth opened wide in shock, and he couldn't wait to rush to a mecha, raising his head and carefully looking at the mecha that was still being assembled.

"Ahh What model is this? The skeleton looks like a lancer, but the shoulders and arms look like other mechs, is this really possible? Tang Jie said to himself.

Liu Yi walked to Tang Jie's side and said with a smile: "This is a new mecha that is being experimented, it is modified on the basis of the lancer, although it looks a little strange, but the actual combat effect should be very good." ”

Tang Jie looked at it carefully for a while, nodded and said: "It looks a little strange, but the skeleton structure is indeed more reasonable than the original lancer, it seems that the legs have also been strengthened, and it looks like the load capacity will be very good." ”

"Sure enough, it's an expert, you can see the doorway inside at a glance!" Liu Yi praised.

"It's nothing, I've been dealing with mecha since I was a child, and if I don't even see this, wouldn't I be laughed at to death." Tang Jie said very calmly.

At this time, a tall and cold man walked over, and Liu Yi hurriedly introduced Tang Jie: "This is my good brother Shangguan Qi, this is Tang Jie Tang Miss Tang made by Starlink!" ”

Tang Jie said angrily: "Don't take a bite of a big lady, make others think that I love to show off." ”

After that, Tang Jie turned to Shangguan Qi, took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said, "Hello, I'm Tang Jie." ”

Shangguan Qi shook Tang Jie's hand with a smile and said, "Jiu Yang, I'm Shangguan Qi." ”

Liu Yi said: "Shangguan, take us to see the nearest power core, and let Tang Jie give us some advice." ”

Shangguan Qi looked at Liu Yi and then at Tang Jie, seemingly hesitating. Liu Yi knew what he was worried about, and said, "Don't worry, Tang Jie won't leak our secrets, maybe we will cooperate with her in the future, and she will see these sooner or later." ”

"Okay." Shangguanqi nodded and said, "Come with me." ”

Shangguan Qi took Liu Yi and Tang Jie to the depths of the laboratory, in a huge square glass warehouse, several robots were being assembled, and the parts lying on the workbench were the latest power cores made by Liu Yi and others.

Tang Jie was an expert, so he naturally saw the superiority of this power core at a glance, and his eyes suddenly widened in shock, staring at that power core without even blinking his eyelids.

"Oh my God, this is the power core you guys made!" Tang Jie exclaimed.

"That's right, this is our latest power core, which can provide more power than the power used by the military, and the durability has been increased by almost 0!" Liu Yi said very proudly.

Starlink Manufacturing is one of the main enterprises that produce mecha for the emperor, so Tang Jie is very familiar with the power core used by the military. When she saw Liu Yi's new power core here, all the previous contempt dissipated in an instant, leaving only a deep shock.

"Can you show me the finished product?" Tang Jie asked excitedly.

Liu Yi nodded, and Shangguan Qi ordered someone to use a small vehicle to transport a power core that had been produced to Tang Jie.

Tang Jie excitedly stroked the power core with his hand, while inspecting every detail very carefully.

"It's the way it works...... Here too...... It turns out that it can still be like this...... Uh-huh...... Very thoughtful......"

Tang Jie was talking to herself while watching, and kept making various comments on this power core, and it could be seen that her attention had been completely attracted by this power core.

Shangguan Qi quietly pulled Liu Yi aside and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?" ”

Liu Yi lowered his voice and said to Shangguanqi: "I am discussing with her about building a joint venture factory. ”

"What kind of factory to build? A factory that produces mechas? ”

"That's right, I proposed that we take a stake in technology, half of the shares, and now it's for her to see it." Liu Yi nodded and said.

"Can it really work?" Shangguan Qi asked suspiciously: "She is a person made by the Star Alliance, a giant military industrial enterprise that is famous in the whole empire, can she cooperate with a small workshop like us?" ”

"What's wrong with the little workshop? Our technology is better than theirs, even large enterprises have to bow their heads in front of advanced technology, you have to be confident in this regard. Liu Yi said.

"But...... Will there be some conspiracy in case the other side takes our technology for itself and then kicks us out? ”

Shangguan Qi's worries are not unreasonable, in front of a super enterprise like Starlink Manufacturing, their laboratory is nothing, and the other party can easily learn the technology and then kick them out.

"I have already considered this aspect, and I ask that the other party can only be controlled by Tang Jie, and Starlink Manufacturing cannot be involved." Liu Yi explained.

Shangguan Qi saw that Liu Yi was more thoughtful than himself, so he didn't say anything, and only patted Liu Yi's shoulder with his hand to show support.

In fact, Shangguanzaki also hopes to have a strong partner, and although they have made a lot of progress in the improvement of power cores and mechas, there are several problems that have always plagued them.

The first problem is that there is no money, and the research and development of mecha requires a huge amount of capital investment, which makes the research progress always unfast.

The second problem is low productivity, and it is difficult to build a completely original mecha with only the current production capacity, so they have to use the original mecha for modification.

If they can have strong productivity support, they can make completely independent original mechas, so that mechas can fully play the advantages of various new technologies.

Just as the two were talking quietly, Tang Jie had already walked over to the two, only to see her face full of red light, looking extremely excited, and came to the two of them in three steps and two steps.

"This new powertrain is fantastic! I can't help but want to design new mechs with it as soon as possible! Tang Jie said with his hands dancing.

Liu Yi and Shangguan Qi looked at each other, and said in their hearts: "I didn't expect an eldest lady to be so interested in mechas." ”

"Don't worry, there's something else for you to see, come with me." Liu Yi beckoned and brought Tang Jie to the side of the simulated cockpit.

"What's here?" Tang Jie looked into the simulated cockpit and asked very puzzled.

"You sit down and try it." Liu Yi said: "Have you ever piloted a mecha?" ”

"Of course, don't underestimate me!" Tang Jie said, and got into the simulated cockpit.

Tang Jie didn't need Liu Yi to teach her, and started the system of the simulated cockpit with ease, and saw Liu Yi and Shangguan Qi smiling at the same time, as if they were expecting something.
