Chapter XXXIV Test 2
The third test site, in front of the fortress.
The dark green steel behemoth kicked up a cloud of smoke and dust and shuttled through the deliberately created terrain. The self-propelled magic cannon that had just rushed through the quicksand array plunged headlong into the swamp, because the bottom was solid ground after all, and the depth of the quicksand and swamp was limited, so it could not cause much obstacle to the two wide tracks, but if it was a real quicksand and swamp, it would be another matter, and if it was really trapped, the ghosts and gods would be difficult to save.
The speed of the self-propelled magic cannon that was moving at full speed in the man-made desert just now was greatly reduced, and the impact of the soft ground on the vehicle was immediate, especially after entering the swamp, the muddy ground caused a lot of trouble to the operation of the walking mechanism. However, the mud didn't stop the surging power of the self-propelled magic cannon, and although it was much slower than before, it still maintained a fairly good forward speed.
By the time the self-propelled magic cannon came out of the swamp, the two tracks were almost invisible, the chassis was dyed brown, and the tracks and load wheels were wrapped in soft mud and blades of grass, but they were still functioning normally, and this ability to resist harsh working environments was simply tailor-made for the army.
After showing off the ability to pass through the terrain, Qin Shouzhuo commanded the self-propelled magic cannon to cross the test field, raised the muzzle high and pointed to the side of the test field, making a posture of preparing to shoot, and then suddenly turned to aim at the fortress wall, showing the ability to react quickly, and then fired continuously, showing that the performance of the medium-sized magic cannon was not sacrificed, and finally made a full field, ending the display.
As soon as the car stopped, Qin Shouzhuo didn't have time to come out, and the military personnel on the judges' bench couldn't wait to surround him and touch the body of the self-propelled magic cannon. The cold steel touch gave people a thick feeling, and despite the mud everywhere on the car just after climbing out of the swamp, they couldn't wait to climb up, and the high-end tweed military uniform on their bodies was covered with yellow mud. As soon as Qin Shouzhuo and the four otaku came out, they were dragged aside to ask this and that, and even worse, they had already gotten into the car to watch.
The three otaku enjoyed the feeling of the stars holding the moon, but Qin Shouzhuo shook off the entanglement of the military and walked in the direction of Rafael and Princess Sophia, who was waving her hand to summon herself. Shirley, who entered the arena with the banner of the Magic Mechanics Research Society, was already waiting there.
"Congratulations, this evaluation, the Magic Mechanics Research Society must be A. Qin Shouzhuo, you make me feel amazed. During the first two days of testing, the self-propelled magic cannon was only able to move, and eventually caught fire, and although it did not burn out any key parts, it proved to be unreliable. But today's performance, I can't believe that this is the same car to do it, what have you done in the past two days? I heard that I didn't even have time to accompany Rafael to the New Year's Day celebration, and I had to help Shirley deliver food. But...... Burst...... What kind of look are you? Hahaha......"
"Hehehehe......" Qin Shouzhuo laughed with him, what kind of style do you have? The cuffs, trouser legs, and hem of the clothes were all tightly tied, and the clothes inside were squeezed and bulging, and he looked like a big fat man, with a headscarf wrapped around his head. There is nothing strange about this shape on the earth, in order to protect the tank crew, it is normal to wear it like this to avoid bumps, but in the world of Elis where clothes are flowing and complicated, this shape is ugly and cannot be more ugly.
Qin Shouclumsy didn't explain, this is a functional clothing, it doesn't matter if it looks good or not, it's too troublesome to explain, so just laugh and forget it.
Qin Shouzhuo was chatting nonsense on the side, but the three otaku had already been abandoned by the technical officers. casually asked a few words, how many goods were in the stomachs of these guys were already clear, and all the secrets were in Qin Shouchou's mind. It just so happened that the guy who climbed the car also finished reading it, and there were a lot of joysticks inside, and they couldn't understand it, and all eyes were focused on the guy who was hiding on the side and was wearing a fancy dress.
One of the leading officers, who couldn't see the rank, communicated with the Academy of Magic, and walked out and announced to everyone present: "The New Year's Day gift rating of the Magic Mechanics Research Society is: full score. Then there was a nervous calculation, and after a while, a small note was handed to Sophia, and Princess Sophia solemnly announced: "The New Year's Day activity score of the Magic Mechanics Research Society: 100 points out of 100, the annual score of the comprehensive score: 62.15 points, and the third-class budget will still be taken next year, but the warning will be revoked." ”
Qin Shouclumsy didn't know what to say, the New Year's Day event was full marks, and the result was still almost scrapped, how wasteful these guys were before. Fortunately, the result is still good, the warning is revoked, and even if you fail next year, you can mix it up for another year. As for the third-class budget, Qin Shouclumsy didn't care about it, anyway, he didn't spend the academy's money on his own research, and all the technology patents were held by himself, although I don't know if there is a concept of patent protection in this world, in short, it's always right to take it first.
At the end of the review, an old officer who looked to be over 50 years old walked over, first saluted Princess Sophia, then looked at Qin Shouzhuo, and nodded: "Nice young man, if I guessed correctly, this ...... Belch...... Everything about the self-propelled magic cannon is from you, it's very good, it's a good work, I don't know how much it costs? Don't worry, they are all from the Lawrence Empire, everything is for the empire, and they will definitely not treat you badly. ”
This means that he wants to sell it cheaply in the name of the empire? It's a pity that he is not a person who fishes the wheel empire, and he gets what he buys, and it is sky-high to sell such a high-tech monopoly product, not to mention that Qin Shouzhuo is not ready to sell it.
Qin Shouzhuo, who had made up his mind, instantly thought of a good rhetoric, "Long live the empire, I don't know what to call the old gentleman?"
"The old man is the Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Imperial Army, the General of the Imperial Army, the Marquis of Silas, Biden. ”
Huo ~ The position of deputy chief of general staff of the army, the rank of general, the title of marquis, the powerful faction, then you will ...... I have to open my mouth even more, otherwise I really can't stop you. I'm sorry, we really didn't plan to sell this thing, this self-propelled magic cannon is a half-finished product, and it is said that the self-propelled magic cannon is considered to be a face-saving one, and a cannon that doesn't even have a fire control system can be considered a cannon?
"Hehe, General Biden," Qin Shouzhuo haha: "This self-propelled magic cannon is indeed difficult to manufacture, it is my personal idea, I actually succeeded in taking a risk, to be honest, I was very surprised, thank you to the God of Light." ”
"This artillery truck is the latest technology from the basic steel to the interior design to the engine, and it took me a long time to make it. While saying it, he shook his head and emphasized: It is not easy to build this self-propelled magic cannon, and it is normal for me to open a sky-high price, be mentally prepared, don't be unknowledgeable.
"However, as far as the old man knows, President Qin has only been in charge of the Magic Mechanics Research Society in the last two months. "Boy, we all know your details, it's okay to make more money, don't overdo it.
"Eh~~ Hou Ye doesn't know, I have been planning and researching this project since many years ago, and a month and a half ago took over the Magic Mechanics Research Society just to put my ideas into reality for many years. "Don't force me, old man, I was the only one who made this thing!
"Uh...... I look at this cannon...... Isn't it just an ordinary medium-sized magic cannon, it doesn't look good, it's an inferior product. "If you have something to say, it's all your own people.
"It's just the outside, it's all new on the inside. "Of course, the maintenance is not good, these technical nerds of the Magic Mechanics Research Society only want to make the magic cannon run, and they bought a medium-sized magic cannon early and put it under the floor of the research room, and the project has made no progress for so many years, this cannon has been placed like this, and it has never been maintained, so it is good to be able to use it.
General Biden listened to Qin Shouchou's defense, but just "hehe", did not speak, and waited for Qin Shouchou to make an offer. Everyone has always known that magic cannons are weapons of war, but all magic cannons are fixed installations, because not only are the cannon bodies heavy, but also the huge magic crystal burning furnace is installed. That thing is not only heavy, but also big, and the field maneuver is simply wishful thinking, and at this time, Qin Shouzhuo took out a magic cannon that could walk. The medium-sized ones can go, the small ones can of course go, and the heavy ones are not without opportunities, and when the time comes, the two armies will face each other, and this side will launch a self-propelled cannon to directly blow up the opposite military formation, and then chase and kill at the tail, don't be too easy.
Qin Shou saw that General Biden had no intention of listening to his own defense, and he didn't bother to say anything, and more importantly, he had no words, so he directly offered the price: "600,000." ”
"600,000 silver coins are not expensive" is really a good patriotic young man, can he be discounted?
"I mean, gold, 600,000 gold. ”
“............ I heard that you only invested 3,000 gold in building this cannon, and it only cost about half of it?"
"That's a rumor. "The face is not red and the heart is not beating, it is not false at all compared to the skin.
“............ A heavy magic cannon in the Magic Weapons Department only sells for 200,000, I mean silver coins. ”
"It's always like that with low-end products. ”
“............ Profiteers!"
"Thank you. ”
“............”
“............”
"Poof...... looked at the dispute between these two old and young people who were a generation behind, and somehow reminded Princess Sophia of what happened to herself and her grandfather back then, she accidentally laughed out loud, and quickly covered her mouth, but the two people facing each other had already turned their eyes to themselves. Sophia blushed and quickly calmed down.
"Ahem, don't fight between the two of you, Qin Shouzhuo, gold coins are used to pay for large transactions, you can't just open your mouth to be 600,000, or gold coins, how much is the imperial treasury a year, and how much is allocated to the army? Grandpa Biden is too, he obviously just doesn't want to sell, why bother to be strong. ”
"Her Royal Highness Princess Mingjian, this self-propelled magic cannon is indeed an artifact for conquering cities, with it, the combat effectiveness of our imperial army can quadruple, and I really can't help the old man not to fight with his cheeks. ”
"Okay, let's do it, Qin Shouzhuo, you can reluctantly make it difficult, build a few more, and lower the price, I think it's 600,000 silver coins, and Grandpa Biden has also lowered his requirements, since there are many refusals, in addition to this one, Qin Shouzhuo, you can build another 5 units and hand them over to Grandpa Biden." ”
Qin Shou knew that the manufacturing cost of this car was about 150,000 silver coins, most of which were material money, mainly due to the low success rate of various parts. If you can start industrial assembly line mass production like the earth, even if you add labor, the cost of this cannon can be compressed to 120,000, and now counting the cost of research and development, 30W silver coins should be about the same.
However, selling arms is only 100% profitable, which is too little: "At least 900,000 units, I will help you upgrade them once when they are better developed in the future, and only sell four units." ”
Seeing Qin Shouchuang's extremely firm appearance, Princess Sophia also had an expression of "It's good to be able to talk about it now", and General Biden could only nod helplessly, "Deal, I will report back to His Majesty the Emperor when I go back, and it won't be long before I can give you the first payment." ”
Sophia's attitude, Qin Shouchou is understandable, because for her, nothing is as important as the emperor's birthday, so the bottom line of 6 sets was opened. It's not Qin Shouchou's bottom line, but Princess Sophia's own bottom line, but of course it would be better to have a little less, so that Qin Shouchou would be busy with the wheelchair for a longer time.
Arms dealers who can sell arms to attack their own countries are the ones who are truly international arms dealers. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, not being able to sell goods of questionable quality is the last bottom line of this group of dead merchants. Although the appearance is not visible, but this first shoddy product has been shown by the crazy maneuver just now, in fact, many track shoes have been tired, and it will not take long to break, such a product cannot be sold.
Of course, more importantly, I have been in the workshop all day for more than a month, and I haven't accompanied Raphael for a long time, which is obviously not a sister-controlled style. Qin Shouzhuo wanted to take advantage of the little time after New Year's Day to accompany Rafeier, and he didn't want to take on so many things, so he boldly reduced 6 to 4, and thought that Princess Sophia would definitely support him, obviously Qin Shouchuang's judgment was right.
After getting the order from the military, Qin Shouzhuo's energy turned to Rafeier and Shirley, during this time, Rafeier was busy with the activities of the Third Music Club, almost Shirley was taking care of her own life, and she felt a little different, hoping that she was thinking too much.
"Shirley, I've worked hard for you this time, I'll have a treat tonight, come to the villa for a celebration banquet, finish this business, and give you dividends. Qin Shouclumly greeted Shirley, looked at Rafeier with a proud face, and pointed at the tip of Rafeier's nose with his finger, ignoring the other party's protests.
"Raphael, do you want to go with us tonight's bonfire?"
