Chapter 125: Tortoise Yaksha
Everyone followed the sound and saw that it was a young researcher in the factory, and after his reminder, everyone suddenly woke up.
I saw that everyone started to do it one after another, and quickly looked for information about naval battles on the Internet, but it was okay not to check, and after checking the crowd, they found that there were records of naval battles in many places.
"There have been naval battles in so many places!" Liu Yi couldn't help but sigh.
There are many lakes on the planet Yaqiu, but there are no real oceans, and most of the place is in a pristine and inhospitable state, so the people here rarely think of the need for naval warfare.
"Actually, it's not surprising that on many planets colonized by humans, oceans are universal, so once a war occurs, it is always difficult to avoid a naval battle." Tang Jie said.
Liu Yi thought about it, Tang Jie said very reasonably, they are used to Yaqiu, so they rarely think from the direction of the ocean, in fact, on many planets, the ocean is the main focus of contention.
Seeing so many examples of naval battles, everyone has to admit that Tang Jie's design is not untargeted, but a very targeted innovation.
"Well, since there are so many examples to follow, I agree to develop this product, but what should I call it?" Liu Yi looked at everyone with an inquiring gaze.
Tang Jie said: "I haven't thought of the name yet, since everyone is here today, it's better to think of one now." ”
Everyone thought for a while, and Ke Rin was the first to say: "Since it is a sea amphibious mecha, of course the name should reflect this characteristic, I think it is called Iron King Ba, which is easy to understand and easy to remember!" ”
"you Kirin! Can you be serious! Tang Jie was so angry that he threw the notebook in his hand towards Ke Rin.
Kirin exclaimed, "What are you doing! Isn't it just right that this ugly eight monster is called the Iron King Eight? ”
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, only Tang Jie's face was flushed with anger, and he simply ignored Ke Rin anymore.
Liu Yi said: "Okay, let's be serious, after all, this is the product we want to participate in the exhibition, and it is very important to choose a good name." ”
When everyone saw Liu Yi speak, they quickly stopped laughing and began to think seriously.
"How about calling it an lurker?" Shangguanzaki said: "This mecha can fight underwater, and it also has good concealment on land, so it's just the right name." ”
Everyone said that this name was very appropriate, but Tang Jie shook his head and said, "No, this name has been used by others." ”
Hearing Tang Jie say this, everyone could only sigh regretfully.
At this time, someone said, "How about calling it a tortoise shell?" It is shaped like a ...... Like a large sea turtle, it is very vivid to call a tortoise shell. ”
"Tortoiseshell ......" everyone read this name, although this name is more appropriate, but it always feels a little too popular, not loud enough.
Later, someone mentioned a few names, and everyone felt that they were not satisfied, and then Ke Rin joked again: "If you want me to say, it's better to call the Patrol Yaksha!" ”
"Patrol Yaksha? What is this? Everyone didn't understand, and they all looked at Ke Rin with wide eyes.
Ke Rin smiled: "This is what I read in a very old source, saying that there is a legend that there is a monster that lives in the sea, and it is strong and can hide itself, and the creatures in the sea are afraid of it. ”
Shangguan Qi scoffed at Ke Rin's statement and sneered, "This can't be made up by yourself, right?" How come I've never heard of it? ”
However, Ke Rin was not moved at all, but ridiculed Shangguanqi: "You don't read much, I won't lie to you, I read more books than you, so I know." ”
"Which of us reads less?" Shangguanzaki said disdainfully.
"Of course it's you......"
"You're the one, right?"
The two began to play tricks again while talking, and Liu Yi hurriedly stopped: "If you two want to quarrel, go out, don't affect the meeting......"
Taking advantage of this time, Tang Jie looked up the Patrol Yaksha that Cha Ke Rin said on the Internet, but he didn't expect that there were really some fragmentary descriptions, and after reading it, Tang Jie couldn't help but nodded.
"Be quiet." Tang Jie said to everyone: "I checked, Ke Rin really has some descriptions of this, but the writing is not clear. But I think it's actually a good name, so let's just call this mecha Yaksha. ”
"Nakshatra?" Everyone read the name several times, but they still felt that something was missing.
"What do I think about a tortoise yaksha?" I don't know who said suddenly.
"Tortoiseshell Yaksha? The name seems to work, I'm in favor of it! ”
"There is indeed something new, let's call it a tortoiseshell yaksha, I also agree!"
Many people said that this name was good, and they were waiting for the two bosses, Liu Yi and Tang Jie, to make a decision. Liu Yi didn't have any special requirements for the name of the mecha, and seeing that everyone liked the name, he nodded and agreed.
Tang Jie saw that Liu Yi had already nodded, and said with a smile: "It seems that everyone thinks this name is better, so let's settle it, and call it Tortoiseshell Yasha!" ”
After hearing this, everyone applauded, and Ke Rin smiled and said, "Look, I'm still the best at naming, and if you have a child in the future, let me name it." ”
The plan for the new product was finalized, the entire factory was up and running, and almost everyone was working overtime to get the prototype out as soon as possible.
At this time, a good news came, the research institute of Geoscience Mining completed the test of the new material a month ahead of schedule, and the results showed that the quality of this new alloy material is very good, and if it is produced on a large scale, the cost can be greatly reduced.
On behalf of Jieyi Military Industry, Liu Yi granted the patent to Dike Mining, allowing them to produce it on a large scale, while Jieyi Military Industry purchased from Dike Mining at a price below the market.
At the same time, because Jieyi Military stipulates in the patent contract that Geoscience Mining must share 30% of the sales profits of this new material to Jieyi Military Industry, Jieyi Military Industry not only does not need to spend money on the purchase of this material, but can also make a profit.
Of course, Liu Yi also kept his promise and allocated 5% of the 30% profits to Geoscience Mining as a scientific research sponsorship for them.
Dike Mining is very optimistic about this new alloy material, and believes that this material can be applied to many aspects, especially in the manufacture of spacecraft, which will replace a large number of original materials, and the prospect is very optimistic, and the annual income can be increased is also very huge.
The partnership can be considered a win-win, and both companies are very happy with the results.
With this new alloy material called RT23, the manufacturing cost of Jieyi Military's mecha can also be greatly reduced, and the performance can be further improved.
Liu Yi informed Starlink of the news, hoping that the other party could place a larger order, and the new mecha of Jieyi Military Industry has now reduced the cost, and the price will naturally be much lower than the original.
However, there seemed to be no reaction from the Starlink side, and it seemed that the other party only planned to buy prototypes, not ready-made mechas.
Liu Yi was a little puzzled by this, so he asked Tang Jie what was going on, and Tang Jie told Liu Yi that Starlink probably still wanted to make it itself instead of purchasing products from other companies.
This made Liu Yi feel a little depressed, if Starlink only purchased prototypes from Jieyi, then Jieyi would be reduced to a research institute of Starlink to some extent, rather than an independent mecha company.
At the same time, since Starlink has the right of first refusal to purchase prototypes, only if Starlink does not purchase them, Jieyi can sell the prototype to others. As a result, it is difficult for Jieyi to obtain orders from other channels.
For example, after the prototype of Dawning was preferentially purchased by Starlink, if Jieyi wanted to sell it to someone else, it should be at least 5 years later, otherwise it would be considered a breach of contract.
Now Liu Yi regrets a little, he still didn't eat the contract thoroughly, which led to the current situation, Jieyi Military Industry has been surrounded by Star Alliance.
Liu Yi told Tang Jie about her worries, although Tang Jie also represented some of the interests of the Star Alliance, she didn't want Jie Yi to be choked by the Star Alliance.
The two discussed for several days, and after thinking about it, there was only one way to bypass the restrictions on the contract, and that was to directly launch the finished mecha instead of the prototype.
Generally speaking, R&D-based mecha companies like Jieyi rarely directly launch finished mechas, which will make the cost rise significantly, and it is difficult for smaller companies to bear such financial pressure.
You must know that there is a long process from prototype to mass production, including organizing procurement, production, testing, sales, after-sales, etc., which are not affordable by small enterprises, so only large enterprises can take care of all from R&D to after-sales.
The two of them roughly calculated that if they wanted to launch the finished mecha directly, the cost would be a very terrifying amount, and with the current asset situation of Jieyi Military Industry, they would definitely not be able to afford such a high cost.
This problem made both of them at a loss, Tang Jie didn't have the heart to continue his research for several days, Liu Yi was afraid of delaying the Yaksha plan, so he asked Tang Jie not to worry about this matter anymore, and he would solve everything.
So Tang Jie no longer cared about this matter and continued to devote his energy to the research and development of new products, while Liu Yi put all the pressure on his shoulders.
"Damn! What should I do? "Liu Yi couldn't eat or sleep well for a few days, and all he thought about was how to bypass the restrictions of Starlink, so that Jieyi's products could go to the market.
For this reason, Liu Yi also consulted his mentor Yu Wensong, but Yu Wensong is an expert in scientific research, and he is a complete layman in business.
After listening to Liu Yi's narration, Yu Wensong immediately said: "Liu Yi, you'd better not ask me about this kind of business, I'm not interested in these at all, you better ask other people." ”
Liu Yi was helpless, so he had to close the door and figure out a way by himself, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't find a way to bypass the contract, which made Liu Yi sincerely discouraged.
The listless Liu Yi didn't show up in the committee for a few days, and Lao Yang, as an executive member, finally couldn't help but ask Liu Yi why he didn't show up for a few days, was he unwell?
Originally, Liu Yi didn't want to tell Lao Yang about this, but now Liu Yi was a little sick and rushed to the doctor, so he told Lao Yang about his troubles.
After hearing this, Lao Yang rolled his eyes and said: "Actually, you can ask a lawyer about this matter, maybe they can find any loopholes." ”
