"Don't believe me? Okay, let the concubine figure be counted for you! Seeing that the other party didn't believe what she said too much, Su Mei slowly explained, "Most of the armor of the mecha of Plan Four is expensive Mithril alloy, and it is equipped with the latest gravity gun, you know how expensive that thing is, right?" ”

"But the ninth plan proposed by the Bai brothers and sisters is different, the only place where the Mithril alloy is really used is the huge auger bit and the Mithril shield, and it completely removes long-range weapons such as lasers that are not practical in the cave, not to mention expensive new weapons like gravity cannons......"

"Even then, it's impossible to reduce the cost to one-fifth of Plan 4, right? You must know that Plan Nine is the same as Plan Four, both of which are equipped with psionic engines! Don't you know how expensive that thing is? The white-bearded old man retorted again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Of course, it's not just that, there is another important point: in addition to the power system, a large part of the parts of the [Pangolin] type mecha designed by Project Nine are common to the [Spirit Monkey II.] type mecha!"

"Compatible with the [Spirit Monkey II.] mecha? Instead of the updated Spirit Monkey Type III? ”

"yes...... You also know that we have begun to launch a more advanced and more powerful [Spirit Monkey III.] mecha, and the early publicity has been rolled out, and the governments of many planets have expressed their intention to purchase them. Then the batch of early models of [Spirit Monkey II] mecha that were in stock before are basically useless...... So this is the right time to remove these obsolete mech parts and use them on the new mech...... Not only does it cost nothing, but it also helps us digest our inventory! ”

"This ......"

The other directors never thought that Bai Ze and Bai Li, brother and sister, would consider so many problems. A girl who has been in the company for less than a month has not only mastered various new technologies, but also has a clear idea of the inventory in the company's warehouse, and she has taken all these factors into account when creating a new mecha!

Therefore, after hearing Su Mei's explanation, several other people also looked at each other, and no one came out to refute them.

Because these people know very well what it means that the cost of Plan 9 is only one-fifth that of Plan 4.

The cost of Plan No. 4 is 80 million, so according to the standard of windfall profits in the arms industry, the price will be about double when it is sold, that is to say, it will be sold at a high price of 160 million!

But if the cost is only 16 million, then even if it is only sold for half of 160 million, that is, 80 million, you can make a 400% profit! What's more, as a buyer, the price is only half, but a mecha with similar performance can buy twice the amount under the same budget, and the company will make more money at that time!

Seeing that the two directors who had objected before had almost acquiesced, Su Mei immediately struck while the iron was hot and said, "Actually, it's more than that...... Have you ever wondered why the brother and sister used parts from the [Spirit Monkey] series of mechas instead of the military version of the [Six Ears] series of mechas when designing Plan Nine? ”

"That'...... So why is that? Su Mei's words aroused the interest of others again.

"It's simple, because in the mines deep underground, it can be difficult to repair mechs...... It's not just that the mine is deep, it's also that it's cumbersome to get parts for repairs deep underground. In addition, because the mines are almost all narrow, once the mecha is about to fall off and fails, the mine will become blocked, so if you want to repair it, you must drag it to a spacious place to repair it......"

"But if you use the parts of the [Spirit Monkey II] type mecha, it is different, the mine has been equipped with a lot of [Spirit Monkey II] type maintenance mecha before, mainly used to repair large excavation machinery, if the parts between the two can be used together, whether it is logistics supply or maintenance The difficulty will be reduced a lot! You can imagine how convenient it would be to be able to remove a replacement part from a mech on the side of the mech if it malfunctioned! ”

"Oh......" At this time, the white-bearded old man who had opposed it before finally relented, "Okay, since that's the case, then I also agree to choose Plan Nine to participate in the bidding!" ”

"I also agree to choose Plan Nine!" The man with squinting eyes said the same.

"Then this internal test is over, since everyone has determined the ninth plan, then the concubine will ask Secretary Sun to send the bidding information as soon as possible......" Seeing that the entire board of directors had reached an agreement, Su Mei also said with a smile.

……

A week later, Bai Ze and Bai Li arrived at Orange Star on a large transport ship produced by Huaxia Heavy Industries, and of course, the [Pangolin] mecha used to participate in the bidding was also sent over with the brother and sister.

After getting off the transport ship, the brother and sister were sent to the bidding location along with the mecha that participated in the bidding, but when Bai Ze and Bai Li arrived, they found that there were already many colleagues from other companies there.

This includes two of the other two of the three major military enterprises of the Human Federation, Olympus Machinery and Lockmartin Technologies.

In addition to these three large companies, there are also some smaller companies that also participated in the bidding, such as Romanloff Heavy Industries, Daiwa Heavy Industries, Ganges Machinery and other military enterprises......

"That's a lot of mechs...... And they are all new mechas......" Bai Ze said with some emotion, "I don't know how much stronger than the competition mecha we saw before......

"Of course, my brother, these are military mechs...... The competition was a civilian mecha...... Of course, it is impossible to say the same thing......"

"That's right......" Bai Ze also nodded and said.

While chatting, the siblings also lost no time in carefully observing the situation of the other teams around them in order to learn some information about their competitors.

For example, the mecha in Romanloff's bidding this time is obviously based on the company's previous [Big Bear] series mecha, which seems to be even more fierce.

Olympus Machinery Co., Ltd., which is also one of the three major military enterprises, sent to participate in the bidding is a mecha called "Cerberus", which is completely black, but the biggest difference from other mecha is that it is not a humanoid mecha, but on all fours, looking like a fierce hound.
