Chapter 113: Mecha Turmoil
The Republic of Florin did not implement the practice of diplomatic announcements, but after the news of Florin's raid by the swarm spread, in order to avoid other countries from entering Florin under the pretext of "helping", they also invited some representatives of major media to give a briefing on the incident.
After the circulation of the K11 Western Front coalition channel, the militia front then obtained some of the battlefield restoration simulation data and real-time pictures of the command ship released by Florin.
It can be said that Florin's methods of dealing with insects have opened up a big brain hole for everyone, and if a pure mecha or fighter unit can deal with the insect swarm, if the cost can be controlled, it seems that the cost of war is much lower than the current system. It is said that the Empire and the Federation have sent representatives to Florin to try to negotiate the purchase of mechs, but the outside world is not optimistic about the outcome.
Or someone who has a hard time understanding how Florine could refuse to promise some benefits such as a better interstellar environment with the power of the Empire and the Federation, but it is not that simple.
First, Florin's mecha uses an exclusive secret technology that has not been registered for a patent, even if the patent is registered before it is sold, people who are interested can gather relevant requirements based on it, and with the power of the empire or the Federation, not to mention copying, there is no problem in creating a mecha with similar performance according to the clues provided by the patent.
Second, after all, Florin's limited territory makes it difficult to learn the wartime industrial transformation strategies of the Empire and the Commonwealth. Even if the possibility of technology leakage is ruled out, once a large number of related sales are committed, a large number of related facilities will need to be built instead of many other manufacturers to share the manufacturing of non-critical parts, and this change in industrial structure can increase profits now, but when sales are reduced, many will become loss-making units that are difficult to use elsewhere. For a simple example, under the premise of increasing external demand for minerals and minerals, if Florine does not want outsiders to frequently enter and exit MR247, she must expand her production capacity.
Pan Wen synthesized the information from all parties, and felt that it was unlikely that the Empire and the Federation would run for nothing, and that they might get a small supply of them, but the small batch would also be Florin's earlier technology rather than the active type. Then again, it's not the main purpose of the Empire and the Federation to buy things well, and it seems more important to drag Florin into the Human-Insect War to share the pressure.
In such an environment, Pan Wen made the aforementioned decision to disassemble his own ultra-limited mecha technology and carry out technology diffusion.
To make this decision, in addition to the fact that now is probably the moment when the mecha technology can be sold at the highest price, I also want to see if more mecha participation can really change some of the disadvantages of the defender, anyway, the mecha does not consume much resources, and the impact on the overall logistics system is very small.
To dismantle the unrestricted mecha technology, it is necessary to use the small black house, which is a big money pit, and Pan Wen's balance of funds after entering the front line is basically to meet the supply needs, and he barely hoards the annual salary of the crew on a monthly basis.
Pan Wen is no longer the pirate head who pulled a few boats to mine by himself, and he has more options to make money, such as financing.
Mecha and fighter technology is an industry with a low threshold in the interstellar era, such as copying other people's fighters/mechas, generally the markets of the two groups do not overlap, and there will be no patent conflicts.
The reason for this situation is that the profit of mechs/fighters is not very good, even if the profit of more than 30% of the unit price seems to be much higher than the 10%-15% of the battleship, but even if the hangar volume is quite loose, it will not be equipped much, and most warships will not have more than twenty-four fighters/mecha troops.
It can be said that after the role of fighters/mecha in modern warfare declined, they were deliberately sold by various shipyards to optimize the leftovers of the industrial structure, and the target of financing did not need to find any large factories, and the militia front could meet the needs of the industrial chain and technology, of course, the premise must be to have various technical data of overrun cells.
After several discussions, Pan Wen quickly obtained an initial fund of more than 100,000 star coins or an initial patent licensing fee.
Pan Wen had no intention of taking any shares in the industry in the future in exchange for more cash flow, and it was precisely because he did not ask for the shares, and the participating merchant group was quite happy to give money after watching the actual operation of the overrun mecha.
Pan Wen, who got the money, quickly rushed back to the small black house of MR251 Steel Shell Port, stayed in the inexplicable eyes of the shareholders for a day, and ran away without direct contact with any shareholders.
On the way, the fleet stayed in MR243 for two days, applying for a whole bunch of patents.
Returning to K11, the Unrestricted Mecha Spread Program immediately entered the actual operation stage.
Because of the abundant funds, and Pan Wen also has the idea of getting more follow-up patent licensing fees, the technology decomposed this time is very detailed. Contains two different generations of super-powered cell body preservation/culture/encapsulation, secure neural connection technology, miniature bio-superpower resonator, and more. Among them, the safety nerve connection technology is an existing technology, but the connection technology carried by the overrun mecha also has to withstand the impact of superpowers, which is just the same name.
Less than two days after coming up with the complete set of technology, Pan Wen got the early report that he had just integrated and changed its name to the Apostle Mecha Factory.
Pan Wen only has 3% of the dry shares of the mecha factory, and does not participate in the management of the shares, and the report does not involve management and sales projects, but only describes the development plan of the mecha factory.
There is no accident in the result, it is not easy for the technology of the small black house to be popularized outside.
The report made it clear that after two days of cell testing and various demonstrations, the mecha factory will first launch a low-generation version of the Apostle fighter. According to the existing supporting technology in the factory, the tonnage of the first-generation Apostle fighter is between 80 and 100 tons, and the fighter can produce more than 100 points of shield when the ability is fully opened, and the firepower intensity is about the same as that of a seventh-level high-energy weapon.
The captain of the second-generation ultra-limited mecha on the Gold can produce 500 shields with less than 50 tons, and the output of a single shot is even above the average level of the eighth-level gun. Compared to the first generation of apostle fighters, it doesn't look very good, but it is still the first powerful fighter that will be sold publicly under 100 tons equipped with a shield system, which is still very attractive, after all, it is difficult for the fighter to be continuously locked by the battleship weapon, and the 100-point shield has made it possible for the fighter to be wiped by the main gun and survive, not to mention that the energy density of various attacks of insects is not as high as that of humans.
However, the price seems to be the most difficult part, Pan Wen asked the relevant responsible person after getting the report, and the results did not seem to be very satisfactory.
The cost of the first-generation Apostle fighter, the initial estimate of the mecha factory is between 110 and 130 star coins, which is a very high cost price for the fighter, just look at the price of three or four hundred tons of powerful fighters with high rate of fire or dual main weapons are all under two hundred star coins. But fortunately, the cost is not impossible to reduce, as long as the batch size is large enough, there will be no problem in reducing the cost to within 100 stars.
The low-generation super energy cells used by the first generation of apostle fighters are a kind of transition body in the process of Pan Wen's evolution of the ultra-limited mecha in the small black room, and it can't even meet the standard of the first-generation super-limited mecha. According to the progress of the mecha factory at this time, the fighters and mecha made of high-generation super cells used by the first generation of superlimit mecha can only continue to expand the tonnage, otherwise the cost may not be cheaper than when he bought the overrun mecha at that time.
Pan Wen was a little helpless about this, the energy storage cells of the lower generations have no weaponization value, and it is impossible to form a comparative relationship with the Florin mecha, and the mecha factory is only afraid that it will take some time to digest the technology he provides, and it seems that it is impossible to verify whether the advanced mecha and the fighter group will help change the battle of humans and insects in the short term.
Soon, worse news came from the west, Florin's high-level mecha was genetically locked, saying that it was going to be genetically matched, which meant that if you wanted to buy it, you would have to provide Florine with a large number of genetic samples of active soldiers!
What happens if a genetic sample is provided?
The problem is huge.
If Florin only wants a civilian genetic sample, the Empire and the Federation may provide a sample of a single resident planet after some hesitation, and more diversity may improve the genetic technology of the Florins, but the national strength of the two great powers is not vegetarian, and it will not cause follow-up problems. However, the difference between active duty soldiers, once targeted research and development of genetic weapons, may lead to very serious consequences, even if the possibility is very small, it has to be guarded against.
At present, the two countries can't do anything to "share" Florin's technology through various pressures, so that the advanced version of Florin's mecha is basically lost. And the rest of the fire support mecha I heard that the technology is not much higher than that of the mecha outside, at most the firepower is slightly stronger and more accurate, as long as there are resources to invest to reach that level, there is no difficulty, but without the high-level mecha to cooperate, that thing is just cannon fodder.
I wonder if the next focus of the envoys of the two countries will turn to pulling Florin to the front line.
Of course, Florin Plus doesn't join the battlefield, Pan Wen can't make a decision, and it probably doesn't have much to do with him with their culture, and what he cares about now is another piece of information that Snow provided in the small dark room.
Pan Wen has not been on the front line of the battle for most of his recent work, and his hands are a little itchy, and when he has money to go to the black house, he asks about the method of forcibly turning the worm into essence.
I don't know if it's a violation of a certain rule.,Xue didn't answer directly.,But it gave a hint.,A featureless water ripple map.,At the time, it looked like this picture was like an over-the-top between screen switches.,But the little black room can be regarded as a spiritual world.,The sense of time flow in it is very distorted.,There is no need to over-calculate the situation.。
According to the clues, Pan Wen judged that the idea of irradiating insects with waveform weapons was correct, but in a broad sense, whether it is light or ray, it can be regarded as a waveform weapon, and the range is too wide, so the wave may only be a carrier, and the important thing is to use the carrier to transmit a certain information that the worm will reverse back to the essence state.
Regardless of whether it was right or not, after Pan Wen got the matter of the mecha factory, he still found the person in the Western Front Office and expressed his guess, hoping that the other party could tell the BU Planning Center.
This kind of unsubstantiated conjecture is generally put forward by ordinary people and it is better not to be locked up as a patient, thanks to the fact that Pan Wen is now the chief of staff of the vigilante front, and he made a special trip to this speculation, but the office still took it seriously, and promised to convey it to the person in charge of the weapons part of the BU program, as well as the representatives of scientists and designers.
If you are assured, you should not miss the problem due to personal negligence, and I hope it will be useful.
Unexpectedly, Pan Wen had been to the office of the Western Front, and in less than twenty-four hours, more than a dozen guys claiming to be BU project technicians came to him on civilian passenger ships!
