Chapter 127: The air show opens

"Huh? This year's air show has changed places, and it is not held in the imperial capital Tianhanxing, but has been changed to Tianlan Star. Liu Yi found out when he checked the official introduction of the Imperial Capital Air Show.

Tianlan Star also belongs to the imperial capital in a broad sense, which includes the six planets of the Unicorn Galaxy, while the imperial capital in a narrow sense refers to the planet Tianhan Star.

In the past, the imperial capital air show was held in Tianhan Star, but this year, for some reason, it was changed to Tianlan Star.

So Liu Yi hurriedly called Tang Jie and told her the news.

"You know what? The location of the air show has been changed and it will be held in Tianlan Star. Liu Yi said.

Tang Jie said: "I already knew, the Star Alliance received a notice a long time ago. ”

"So Starlink will also participate in the air show?" Liu Yi asked.

"This is natural, Starlink is rarely absent from the Imperial Capital Air Show, this is an opportunity to sign a big contract, how can you let it go."

"That's right, hopefully we'll get orders this year."

"I hope so, I won't talk to you anymore, now we have to hurry up and debug, since we want to directly launch the finished mecha, the debugging work must be done well, otherwise people will laugh at it." After Tang Jie finished speaking, he quickly cut off the call.

Now there are only three months left before the Imperial Capital Air Show, and the two new products of Jieyi Military Industry have just rolled off the assembly line, and they must be debugged as soon as possible, otherwise they will not be displayed at all.

In order to bring the new mecha up to the level of the finished mecha, the entire Jieyi military industry factory has been working overtime for several months, and everyone has pinned their hopes on these two mechas.

In addition to the amphibious combat mecha designed by Tang Jie, the Tortoiseshell Yaksha, Tang Jie also designed another general-purpose mecha, named "Fighter".

Fighter is a variant designed on the basis of Dawn, and can also be regarded as a branch after the embodiment of the Dawn prototype.

When Tang Jie designed the Dawning prototype, he fully considered the future scalability, so he considered the many variants that may appear in the future when designing, and this fighter is one of them.

The Fighter has been simplified from the Aurora prototype to make the body lighter and more flexible, but the power core still uses the same core as the Aurora prototype, so the output power is more powerful, and it has better mobility in hand-to-hand combat.

In addition, the Fighter is equipped with a melee weapon pack, in addition to the usual saber, there are also melee stun axes, collapsible shields, and so on.

Since the fighter also uses an X-shaped bone design, the body is stronger and the carrying capacity is stronger, and the user can strengthen the armor as needed, even if the weight increases a lot, the performance of the entire body will not drop much.

Despite all the advantages of Fighter, it is not very expensive, only slightly more expensive than the few mechs commonly used by the military, and if you think about it from a practical point of view, Fighter will be a cost-effective mech.

Liu Yi is very satisfied with both the tortoiseshell yaksha and the fighter, and now as long as the debugging is done smoothly, Liu Yi believes that this product will definitely win the favor of visitors at the exhibition.

Taking advantage of the time when Tang Jie and the others were seizing the time to debug, Liu Yi first completed the registration, and then was busy contacting the transportation ship.

Previously, Liu Yi, at the suggestion of Shangguanqi, bought more than a dozen captured pirate ships from Li Xingqi, and then used these ships to transport ore.

Although these pirate ships can also make long-distance leap voyages, some of the weapons on board have not been removed, and it is impossible for such ships to enter the imperial capital's defense circle.

Therefore, Liu Yi had no choice but to discuss with Li Xingqi, hoping that he could send him a warship to transport the new mecha used for the exhibition to Tianlan Star.

Li Xingqi is so shrewd, as soon as he heard that Liu Yi was going to participate in the Imperial Capital Air Show, he must show him the new mecha first, otherwise he would not help him.

Liu Yi originally didn't want the information of the new mecha to leak out in advance, but Li Xingqi's request was difficult for him to refuse, and after discussing with Tang Jie, he finally decided to send a video to Li Xingqi to see.

When Li Xingqi watched the video of the new mecha, he immediately said that he wanted to come to Yaqiu to see it in person, and he was very interested in the two new mechas.

Soon after, Li Xingqi and a few officers came to Yaqiu in a very low-key manner, and accompanied by Liu Yi, they visited the Jieyi military industry and the two new mechas.

Li Xingqi and Liu Yi haven't seen each other for almost a year, and although they often have video calls, they have been very busy this year and can't find time to meet at all.

"Senior brother, your factory is very good, it actually looks good, I really underestimate you." Li Xingqi praised again and again while visiting the factory.

"Where, senior brother has a good reputation, we are also just starting out, please take care of me in the future." Liu Yi said modestly.

After a general tour of the factory, Liu Yi finally took Li Xingqi to the hangar, and when Li Xingqi saw the fighters in the debugging, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had seen a stunning beauty.

"My goodness, this mecha is really good!" Li Xingqi's saliva was about to flow out.

Liu Yi said proudly: "This is the mecha we are preparing to participate in, named Fighter, which is mainly used in melee combat, please give more opinions." ”

Li Xingqi looked back and forth left and right for a long time, and finally said, "Okay! Sure enough, it's a very good mecha! It's just that I have a question. ”

"Senior brother, please speak."

"The armor of this mecha is so thick, the defensive type is indeed good enough, but I am afraid that the mobility performance will drop significantly, and it seems that it is debatable to sacrifice mobility greatly for the sake of defense." Li Xingqi said with a slight frown.

"We have fully considered this, and if you don't believe it, you can go to the air show to see it." At some point, a woman's voice came from behind everyone.

Liu Yi and Li Xingqi looked back and saw a stunning beauty wearing work clothes, with her hands on her waist, standing there gracefully.

It was Tang Jie who spoke, and Liu Yi introduced Li Xingqi with a smile: "This is Tang Jie, my partner, and the chief engineer of Jieyi Military Industry. ”

Li Xingqi saw that the chief engineer of Jieyi Military Industry turned out to be a very young woman, and his eyes couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise.

"Hello, I'm Li Xingqi, Admiral of the Sea Wolf Fleet." Without waiting for Liu Yi's introduction, Li Xingqi had already taken the initiative to stretch out his right hand to Tang Jie.

After Tang Jie and Li Xingqi shook hands, they enthusiastically introduced the mecha to Li Xingqi, Li Xingqi nodded again and again while listening, asked some questions about the mecha from time to time, and chatted with Tang Jie very harmoniously.

Liu Yi had been by the side of the two, and seeing that the two were chatting warmly, for fear of snubbing the others, he took the initiative to talk to a few officers who came with him.

One of the officers said with some regret in his tone: "Mr. Liu, your mecha is very good, but unfortunately we don't have the authority to procure, otherwise we really want to buy a batch of such mecha to supplement the army." ”

"What, are your mechs wearing out a lot now?" Liu Yi asked tentatively.

"Needless to say, our Seawolf Galaxy has not been very peaceful recently, although it is not a big trouble, but all kinds of pirates have been continuous, and the mecha has suffered a lot of loss, and the mecha on it is getting worse and worse, and it is completely incomparable with the previous one."

Another officer also complained: "But isn't it, now there are wars everywhere, and there is a great demand for mechas, and those mecha manufacturers naturally begin to ignore the quality of mecha in order to make profits. ”

Several officers opened up the conversation as they spoke, and there were many complaints about dissatisfaction with the mecha, from quality problems to design problems.

Liu Yi agreed politely on the surface, but in his heart, he had already begun to calculate, and said in his heart: "Now the demand for mecha is so large, especially for high-quality mecha, there is no worry about not being able to sell it at all, but the problem is that it is not the turn of the people who use mecha to procure, and they are all made money by these intermediate links, if only they could trade directly with the army......"

After sending Li Xingqi away, there is not much time before the opening of the air show, considering that it will take a lot of time on the road, so Liu Yi and the others must hurry up and set off.

Li Xingqi arranged an interstellar cruiser for Liu Yi to transport the mecha and Liu Yi and others for the exhibition, and Liu Yi told Li Xingqi that he didn't need such a big ship, just two mecha and some equipment.

However, Li Xingqi told Liu Yi that this was just an excuse, and in order to send this cruiser to Liu Yi, Li Xingqi specially reported to his immediate boss and the military, saying that the ship needed to go to the imperial capital for maintenance, otherwise it would be impossible to get permission to enter the imperial capital's defense circle.

Seeing that Li Xingqi took such good care of himself, in addition to thanking, Liu Yi promised to send two fighters to Li Xingqi as gifts in the future.

A few days later, the cruiser arrived at Yaqiu, Liu Yi led the people of Jieyi Military Industry to load the mecha and related equipment, and after everything was disposed of, Liu Yi, Shangguanqi, Tang Jie and a group of staff officially embarked on the journey to the imperial capital.

It took almost more than a month to get from Yaqiu to the imperial capital Tianlan Star, and taking advantage of the time of sailing, everyone continued to debug the two mechs in the ship, and also carried out some tests that could only be done in space.

When the cruiser enters the jumping subspace, everyone can only debug inside the ship until it is separated from the jump subspace before returning to its normal state.

When everyone saw the starlight outside the ship again, it was already a month later, and the cruiser that had broken away from subspace had reached the periphery of the Unicorn galaxy and rushed towards the interior of the galaxy at a high speed.

After asking the captain, Liu Yi learned that it would take about a week to arrive at Tianlan Star, and the commissioning was basically completed at this time, so it could be said that the time was just right.

Standing by the porthole and looking at the unicorn galaxy in front of him, Liu Yi's mood slowly became complicated, he had fled from here and arrived at Yaqiu in extreme embarrassment, but he didn't expect to return to the imperial capital so soon.

Although the starry sky still looks the same, his willow wings are completely different.
