The research and development cost of the new armor is so high that it has completely exceeded Rocky's imagination, and even more than he can afford!

When Hammerfire created the improved fifth version of the Warframe and began to work on the next version of the full improvement, the million gold that Rocky had provided was completely spent......

This kind of thing is simply unimaginable in the eyes of ordinary people, because from the beginning of the rune battle armor plan to the present, it has only been a few months since the full battle, and millions of gold coins have been spent in such a short period of time, and the speed of burning money is simply faster than eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling.

But this is the truth, not only the fact, but in the eyes of Orton and the others, this is not even strange, because even if it is just an ordinary technology or ordinary technology research, it is extremely normal to spend millions of gold coins in the process of research, not to mention that they are still researching runes, which is a top technology.

In fact, because they knew that Rocky didn't have much money, Orton and the others tried to save money as much as possible throughout the research process, such as the battle armor made by hammer fire, don't look at the fact that he has now made a full five versions of the battle armor, but in order to save money, each version of the battle armor is only made one set, and under normal circumstances, for experiments of this level, each version of the experimental armor must be made at least a dozen sets before it can be used.

At the same time, because there is only one set of armor that can be tested, Orton and others can only repeatedly experiment on this only set of armor, when the armor will be completely used up, scrapped, and when will the next version be designed and manufactured in combination with the experimental results, which can be said to be saved to the point that it can no longer be saved.

But it is precisely under such tight research conditions that the progress of several masters is quite significant, when the test of the fifth version of the warframe is over, most of the technology used for the warframe has been successfully improved through continuous experiments, that is to say, when the next version of the warframe, that is, the sixth version of the warframe, is manufactured, this new white demon warframe can already be basically finalized!

Once the armor is finalized, it means that the theoretical part of the research is completely completed, and the research will officially enter the practical operation stage.

At this stage, the rune-driven White Demon Warframe will conduct a series of experiments under Rocky's operation, and Orton and others will further adjust the Warframe through this series of experimental data.

In other words, the research on the Rune Warframe Project has entered the middle stage, and it is already a big step towards success!

But at this time, the research money provided by Rocky was gone, and the sixth version of the warframe could not be made......

This is a major blow to everyone, but there is nothing to be done, after all, all research must be supported by money, without money, there are empty ideas, nothing can be studied, and ideas must be supported by money to be realized.

This situation made Orton and the others very anxious, and so did Rocky.

Orton and the others were anxious because several of their top masters in the world had gathered together and worked hard day and night for several months to study by themselves, seeing that the battleframe they had worked so was about to be ready for practical operation, but they had to stop the research because they had no money, how could they be willing?

Rocky is also very anxious, because he is the one who really takes the money, and he sees that the one million gold coins he invested have been spent, but he only gets a bunch of data, which is not equivalent to a million gold coins in vain!

In this case, both Orton et al., and Rocky, want to continue the research, and the question is where will the money come from to conduct the research?

In order to solve this problem, everyone had to get together and discuss countermeasures.

"Erin, how much more money can you come up with in the city now?"

When Orton and the others arrived at Rocky's study, Rocky asked Irene directly.

"At most, 300,000, this is the limit I can take, if there are more, the city will not be able to hold on. ”

As the financial officer of Thunder Eagle City, Erin knew better than anyone how much money was in Thunder Eagle City's treasury and how much money it would take to keep the city running, so she gave the answer without even thinking about it, and Rocky could take out up 300,000 gold coins for research.

However, after hearing this number, Orton and the others shook their heads again and again, and even Rocky sighed, even he knew that 300,000 gold coins were simply not enough.

But this is the limit that Thunder Eagle City can take out, and even the 300,000 gold coins can only be taken out thanks to the blessing of Rocky's assassination, because according to Erin's original plan, the 300,000 gold coins were to be used to pay the protection fee, but because Rocky was assassinated, the Nightless God City waived the protection fee of Thunder Eagle City for three months, and then the money was left, otherwise she didn't even have the 300,000 gold coins.

In this case, everyone discussed the countermeasures together and saw if they could find some way to get enough money for the fellowship.

And after discussing and discussing, in the end, only two ways were thought of.

The first way is to make money together, Rocky can't he still come up with 300,000 gold coins, Orton and others are all research masters, although there is no industry, but everyone can take out hundreds of thousands of gold coins is not a problem, so a few people can make up another million to conduct research, and if there is another million funds, according to the estimation of Orton and others, not to mention more, it can still be done after the research is carried out at this stage.

But there is a problem with this approach, that is, it is not sustainable.

The research of the rune armor is by no means a day or two, a month or two months can be completed, even if the new white demon armor is completely successful, this plan is not over, not only is it not the end, this plan is equivalent to just beginning! Because once the white demon armor is successful, it means that the new field of the rune armor has been completely opened up, and there are too many things to study in depth, and then the rune armor plan will be regarded as the beginning!

And once the research continues to deepen, the research funds will be continuously consumed like a bottomless pit, and what will Rocky do when the time comes?

Will a few people tighten their belts and scrape together the money again? Even if they want to, they can't make it up!

Therefore, this solution can only solve the urgent need, but it cannot completely solve the problem.

As for the second way that everyone thinks of, it is to find someone to invest.

Or find a businessman, such as a chamber of commerce, such as today's armor manufacturers, etc., or find a city lord, it can be an ordinary city lord, or an alliance like the Sky Alliance, in short, find these rich people to contribute money to support the rune armor plan, so that the problem of money is solved, and it is solved for a long time.

In fact, more than 90% of today's research is conducted in this way, with one party funding and the other conducting the research.

But there is also a big problem: the results must be shared with funders.

The research that Rocky and Orton and others are doing is their own project, so the results of the successful project belong to them, but once someone invests in the research, then although there is no shortage of money for the research, the results of the research do not belong to Rocky personally, but must be shared with the investor.

This is obviously not what Rocky wants to see, not that Rocky is stingy and still hiding the rune baby like a tuck, but the research they are doing is too important to him.

Once the research of the rune armor is successful, it will definitely become the core technology in the rune field, and as long as this core technology is mastered, then even if Rocky makes the magic rune public, let everyone know about the existence of the magic rune, and starts to study it, he will still be able to stay ahead, because he has the core technology!

In the field of science and technology, the principle of fast and fast step by step is constant, as long as the core technology is mastered, then it will inevitably achieve an unshakable leading position in the general research of the competition, and the research of the rune armor is such a core technology.

In this case, once an outsider enters and shares the results of his research, Lodge's advantage is completely lost.

As a result, everyone is at an impasse, and they can't think of the best of both worlds.

But at this moment, the hammer fire suddenly spoke.

"City lord boy, I have a way to temporarily relieve the pressure on funds, but this method is very dangerous......"
