The City of Gods That Never Sleeps.

In the conference room of Sigma Warframe, Tom Sigma, the third generation head of the company, was slamming his hand on the table while roaring.

"The sixth-generation prototype armor, why hasn't it been manufactured yet!"

"What the hell are you doing!"

The roar echoed in the conference room, but in the face of the roar, everyone sitting across from Tom bowed their heads.

Among these people, there are executives, R&D directors, in short, all of them are high-level figures in the company, but these people don't even dare to gasp in front of Tom.

In today's Sky Demon Warframe field, there are two giants, one is Urano Company, and the other is Sigma Company, these two companies occupy half of the entire Warframe field in terms of Warframe R&D, production, or sales, and they are absolutely dominant-level existences in the Warframe field, and no one can compete with them at all.

As such a giant in the field, Sigma has naturally been developing a new generation of warframes, that is, the 6th generation warframes, for a long time, and even for several years, but judging from Tom's irritability at this time, this matter does not seem to be going well.

Indeed, Sigma's research and development of the 6th generation Warframe is indeed quite smooth.

The company's research and development of a new generation of armor has been carried out for five years, and the progress at the beginning is not bad, from the concept of the new generation of armor to the theoretical basis and so on were quickly finalized, but when everyone put these theories into practice, difficulties appeared, and the research and development progress was delayed again and again, a full five years have passed, not only the prototype armor has not been manufactured, even a armor that can be used for experiments has not been created.

This kind of result is something that Tom, as the head of the company, can't bear at all, so almost every month at the regular meeting, he will express his dissatisfaction with the slow progress of the 6th generation warframe, especially this time, Tom seems extremely irritable.

"Your Excellency, please give us some more time......"

"How much time I've given you!"

Glaring at the R&D director fiercely, Tom roared like thunder!

"Ourano has already built the 6th generation prototype armor, and you still need some time?"

Glaring fiercely at the R&D director, Tom's gaze was as if he was about to kill, the reason why he was more irritable this time than before was not for nothing, but because their opponent, that is, the Urano company, which occupies half of the Warframe field like them, had already manufactured the 6th generation prototype Warframe!

This means that their biggest and only competitor has made a major breakthrough in the development of the 6th generation Warframe, while Sigma is falling behind in this regard.

This situation is absolutely intolerable to Tom, because the 6th generation Warframe is too important for the company.

Sigma was one of the earliest Warframe manufacturers, but the company's origins were in the 4th generation Warframe period, when Sigma took the lead in developing the 4th generation of Skymagic Warframe ahead of all competitors, and occupied the vast majority of the market share in one fell swoop, and it is precisely because of this that the company stood out from many competitors and became a leader in the field of Warframe.

However, after taking the lead in developing the 4th generation of the warframe, they made a major mistake in the research and development of the 5th generation of the warframe, and made a mistake in the direction of research and development, resulting in the development of the 5th generation of the warframe lagging behind the opponent in an all-round way, and this opponent is Urano Company.

Today's most advanced fifth-generation battle armor was first developed by Urano Company.

It is precisely because of this that as the third-generation head of the company, Tom Sigma started the development of the sixth-generation Warframe early, hoping to win back a city on the sixth-generation Warframe, but they acted earlier than the opponent, but they fell behind in the development progress.

It's no wonder Tom is so furious today.

But in the face of his irritability, many people in the company were speechless, and the R&D director wanted to speak, but he just opened his mouth and did not speak.

And just like that, the entire conference room fell silent, except for Tom's heavy gasps.

After a long silence, a young woman sitting on Tom's left glanced at everyone, then pointed to the papers each person was holding, and waved her hand.

Seeing the woman's gesture, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then left all the documents to be reported on the table, and then fled like a swarm of people.

After everyone had left, the only woman left in the room stood up and walked to everyone's seats, taking the papers they had left behind.

"Father. ”

Holding a thick stack of documents, the woman returned to Tom's side, and then while looking through the documents, she said, "Everyone is also anxious about the development of the sixth-generation battle armor......

"Hmph, are they in a hurry? Why didn't I see it!"

After saying something angry, Tom got up, walked to the side of the wine cabinet, and poured himself a glass.

"Father, you should know too...... It's because of the tight budget that the progress of the R&D department is so slow......"

Glancing at Tom helplessly, Tom's daughter, Denise Sigma, said slowly, telling her father what the research director was going to say but didn't dare to say.

"Tight on money?"

But Tom, who heard this, laughed, and when he sat back in his place, he looked at his daughter and asked, "Denise, do you know how much money the research department has spent in the past five years?"

"The funds they used up are enough to build a Divine City!"

"But what about the result?"

Tom's words may be exaggerated, but in fact, it is true, and the research and development budget of the 6th generation warframe has indeed reached an astronomical amount.

As the research and development of the latest generation of warframes, whether it is manpower, material resources, or time investment, it is huge, especially the funding.

The amount of money needed to develop a new generation of warframes is not measurable by numbers at all, if you have to describe it in words...... Probably only the three words 'bottomless pit' are the most appropriate, that is to say, the investment in the development of a new generation of warframes is unlimited, when the research is successful, when it will be finished, otherwise it will have to be invested endlessly.

This is completely different from what Rocky is doing, because Rocky has also created a new generation of Warframes, but everything is ready-made.

The magic rune was researched by Winsel, and Orton and the others only need to learn it, which saves a lot of investment, and at the same time, the design foundation of the white devil is also based on the 4th generation of battle armor, and there is no need for any investment, even the various technologies carried on it are mature technologies, and they can be used after improvement, and even Orton and others themselves do not need wages.

In this way, the research and development of the White Devil Battle Armor seems to have invested only the cost of materials and equipment, and everything else is ready-made, so the funds required are naturally less, but even so, it took more than one million to only create a set of White Demon Battle Armor, and it is still in the process of testing.

But the 6th generation battle armor developed by Sigma Company obviously won't save so much money, because it is the 6th generation battle armor after all!

The so-called new generation of battle armor is to make a new breakthrough on the basis of the old battle armor, there is no experience to follow, there is no way to learn from it, there is no direction, everything has to start from scratch, what is this equivalent to? This is equivalent to letting Orton and others first study the magic rune from scratch!

The investment in this is simply too big, so it is indeed as Denise said, in the past six months, the company's investment in the 6th generation of the armor has indeed been much less than before, because for this bottomless pit-like consumption, Sigma Company is also a little unbearable.

"Father, I think we should continue to increase research funding, we have been doing research for so long and invested so much, we can't give up halfway. ”

Glancing at Tom, Denise said.

"Increase?" But hearing his daughter's words, Tom laughed helplessly: "How much? How much more money do I need to give this group of waste to get the desired result?"

With that, Tom handed his daughter a document in front of him.

"Look at this, if it continues like this, Sigma will be ruined in the hands of this group of waste!"
