In mid-August, the Three Kingdoms of Machinery is about to enter the World Championship competition.

With a total prize of up to 100 million US dollars, thousands of third-generation remote-controlled mechanical character prizes, and millions of exquisite commemorative gift boxes, the global machinery enthusiasts are inexplicably excited.

According to statistics, in early August alone, the number of overseas players gathered in Beijing exceeded 50,000.

Their travel, accommodation, and catering have greatly promoted the consumption of the surrounding areas and brought countless foreign exchanges.

However, the founder of the Three Kingdoms of Machinery, Director Xu, resigned from TEP, and the new CEO Bo Ruisi actually postponed the event.

Immediately afterwards, a lot of news came about the adjustment of TEP business.

Borris plans to relocate the TEP car plant to the port city.

Boris plans to cast TEP angels and move them to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

Borris was going to lay off employees, take a pay cut, and kick someone's dog out of the TEP again.

Mechanical toy lovers don't care about the above news, what they care about is whether the Smash Bros. Championship can continue.

For a time, the official website, official forums, and official chat rooms of the Tin Toy Factory in various regions were crowded with people protesting.

Now, Director Xu, who has been addicted for half a month, has finally come out of the mountain again, and the players seem to have found an outlet, and they have run to the fox network, scolding Boris angrily, and persuading Director Xu to eat back grass with good horses.

Mechanical toy enthusiasts, with 500 million registered people worldwide and about 50 million players, at least 300 teams have been identified to enter the World Finals.

The sudden outbreak of public opinion even overshadowed the signing of a $20 billion crude oil supply agreement between Morgan and OPEC.

Even the commercial manager who received the news also called Director Xu.

Doesn't it mean that everything that is good is under control?

How did you really quit your job?

Also, What does garbled shipyard mean?

It's just that halfway through the phone call, he was invited to tea by the general manager of his camp.

In the eyes of the higher-level leaders, TEP has made so much money with the help of the crude oil incident, and it is bound to carry out industrial upgrading.

At this time, it is necessary to believe in the abilities of adults.

Maybe you can get more power out of it.

Just when a lot of news is flying all over the sky, and many speculations are both false and true.

& Another founder and vice director, Foreman, arrived in Daze.

In the past six months, Germany's rising political aspirant has been running for the president of the Berlin state parliament with proposals such as "solving employment", "developing industry", "focusing on housing", and "improving welfare", as well as gradually fulfilling the impact of the above proposals with the TEP dividend, and has a very high approval rating.

But at such a critical moment, it is surprising that he suddenly went to the East to participate in TEP affairs that he had never participated in.

The reporters who stayed in Daze surrounded the high-profile convoy one after another to interview Foreman.

Strauss was originally from Austria and came from a musical family, and when he moved to Germany in the thirties and forties, he left behind the unique taste of Vienna.

Foreman, on the other hand, was a native of Germany.

The figure of about 1.7 meters, although not very tall, is quite straight, the clothes on his body are angular and angular, and the two eyes are scorching, and the overall look looks extraordinarily energetic.

In the face of many reporters' interviews, Foreman's cold and rigid face squeezed out a slight smile, and then he straightened his face and shouted solemnly: "ious!"

「？？？」

Before the reporters could react, Foreman had already entered the No. 1 office building in Daze.

Not much.

There was a fierce quarrel inside.

Foreman angrily accused Strauss of forgetting the purpose of creating the TEP in the first place.

Strauss countered that Formann was not a qualified business operator.

Soon.

According to an internal TEP employee, Forman, as a member of the German parliamentarian, has long been dissatisfied with Strauss's move of the TEP headquarters to North America, and the two have never seen each other since.

Strauss, as a capitalist, was also very dissatisfied with Forman taking TEP money to subsidize the German people.

This has given many journalists a different smell.

Some people are trying to get close to the conference hall in Building 1.

Some people went around contacting colleagues to gather relevant information.

Strauss and Foreman's stakes in the TEP are 50:50, respectively.

Now the two of them are like this......

&> It seems like we're going to split up!

………

& Separated or not, it has nothing to do with Xu Fei, who has resigned.

At this point, it is looking at the newly repaired module.

[Air Finger Department: It can be used for the production, parking and maintenance of fighters, with its own radar and communication devices, which can detect intelligence within a radius of 1000 kilometers, with air-to-air series of egg guides and ground-to-air series egg guides.] ]

[Air Finger Department - Airport: It has 4 parking stands and can consume 1 billion energy to expand. ]

[Air Command Department - Barracks: Engineers can be converted into pilots and ground staff for free, but recruiting paratroopers requires 100,000 energy.] ]

[Empty Finger Department - Factory, according to the level of technology, can currently produce: Kirov airship, Black Hawk fighter, peacekeeping bomber......]

Kirov airship: heavy-duty aircraft, 460 meters long, 110 meters wide, 150 tons of dead weight, with medium armor, defense against general attacks, can carry 1200 tons of cargo, can be modified, combat radius ?? , the maximum speed is 450 kilometers per hour, with the addition of technology support, and the data is increased by 20%.

The production requires 50 tons of reinforced fiber, 50 tons of rare earth ores, 50 tons of ultra-light armor metals corresponding to defense capabilities, and 1 billion energy.

Black Hawk Fighter: This is a heavy bean fighter with strong defense capabilities, advanced forward-swept wings, which can carry 10 combat bombs, 10 long-range guide eggs, and 2 air-to-ground aircraft, with a combat radius of 1900 kilometers and a maximum speed of 3200 kilometers per hour......

10 tons of titanium aluminum alloy, 10 tons of rare earth ore, and 10 billion energy are required for manufacturing.

Peacekeeping Bomber Aircraft: This is a light bomber aircraft that can be lifted vertically, with its advanced propulsion system, with 5 BD-8 "Javelin" series laser-guided Boo with a hit rate of up to 99% The maximum flight altitude is 30,000 meters, and the maximum flight speed is 5,100 kilometers per hour, which allows you to turn defeat into victory when you lose air supremacy, and it is also the most threatening air unit in wartime.

50 tons of titanium-magnesium alloys, 50 tons of rare earth ores (for refining), 10 billion energy are needed for manufacturing.

Armed helicopters: lack of technology.

The Bombardment of the Century: Lack of technology.

Laser XCOM: Lack of technology.

Space Shuttle: Technology is insufficient.

Rocket Pilot: Lack of technology.

Rocketeers on the Moon: Not enough technology.

Others omitted.

"Could it be that shipyards are more tech-savvy than airfields?"

"It shouldn't be!"

Xu Fei carefully read the introduction of the "Empty Finger Module" and the description of the unit again.

"Laser XCOM!"

"How does this thing look, it looks like a flying saucer."

"And the space shuttle, the rocket pilots, the moon rocketeers...... The home planet can't hold me anymore?"

"So, shipyards can produce spaceships?"

"No wonder the next module needs 20 billion energy."

"But if there really is a spaceship......

Xu Fei sighed abruptly, counting the main modules that had not been repaired, there were still as many as 23.

The repair progress of the base core has risen to 25%, and the modules that have been repaired in the past have also been updated.

The basic production line has an additional "nano spraying", which can replace electrolysis and achieve a mirror effect.

To unlock the "Sniper" in the camp, you need to go to the right location to recruit it.

Power plants unlock "solar technology" and require the support of an electronics laboratory.

Unlock RC Tank in the Chariot Factory,

Each vehicle requires 100 million energy.

The radar has the characteristic of "20% less energy consumption".

The V-Series Rocket Car unlocks the trait "+20% Land Travel Speed".

"The question is, if I don't repair the shipyard and the Olympics are coming, do you want me to fly the Kirov airship to Australia to watch the game?"

Xu Fei fantasized and felt unreliable.

Black Hawk and Peacekeeping Bomber escorts had to be repaired to ensure that such a large and heavily loaded aircraft would not be taken down.

But more than 100,000 employees, at least 20 Kirovs, and X3 times the number of fighters, what will Australia think when the time comes?

And count the days.

The Olympic Games on September 15 are exactly 30 days away.

Today, August 14, 500 million energy is harvested every day......

"Not enough."

"Besides, the devil knows if it's a shipyard next."

Xu Fei walked out of the Hongqi workshop office, took the vicious dog, and reached the northern test area, and in the open space further north, called out the "empty finger module" to try to pre-build.

The exterior of the building resembles a four-pointed star, and the part that extends outward from the center represents the parking position.

For each additional parking slot, an additional one is extended, up to a maximum of a nine-pointed star.

It covers an area of 00, and the central area is the "Operation Center", "Arsenal", "Barracks", "Command Center" and so on.

Two other roads are extended, one leading to the outside world and one leading to a separate "manufactory".

The building can be adjusted up to 50 meters, but can be expanded down to 150 meters to store idle fighters.

Regarding the regulations on the height limit of the base, Xu Fei once asked Malaysia.

Why can't our buildings be built higher? It can't be just because of firefighting, after all, our technology is improving, and there will definitely be firefighting aircraft in the future.

Ma looked at the commander carefully, "Are you stupid? What is our base for?"

"Fighting!"

"Yes, since it's used in warfare, wouldn't you make the building so high? In particular, each module is an important functional unit, and if it is destroyed, how can you fight back against the enemy?"

Since then, Xu Fei has never considered high-rise buildings again.

I also understand why upgrading the laboratory and upgrading all kinds of modules are basically extending underground.

[Do you want to build a "Empty Finger Module"?] ]

"Yes."

[Please prepare steel and concrete of the appropriate scale and arrange 1,000 engineers.] ]

[You have placed the "Empty Finger Module", the conditions are met, and the construction period is 5 days.] ]

[You have reduced the number of engineers, and the build cycle has been extended......]

Xu Fei has now almost mastered the gameplay of the module to reality.

The main body was built first, the appearance was slowly improved, and the normal construction period was declared to the outside world, but in fact, it was already usable.

"Half a month later, in the name of experimentation, build a Kirov airship and see if it can be transformed into a sightseeing airship......

Xu Fei thought about it and returned to the Hongqi workshop office.

Then pick up the formation plan for the new company.

Foreman Shipyard, a German company, is headquartered on the northern coast of Germany, with branches in the Asia-Pacific region.

As he personally served as the factory director, he had his own main base core, and he planned to build a floating island on the east side of the East China Sea, near the Great Flat Ocean, and then build the "Foreman Shipyard - Asia Pacific Branch".

Main business: offshore transport ships, ocean-going freighters, ocean-going tankers, ocean-going cruises, customized warships.

But now the "empty fingers" have been fixed.

It may be changed to "Foreman Aircraft Factory".

"No, since the shipyard can produce spaceships and can fly, then the shipyard can build airplanes, and there is no problem."

Xu Fei was too lazy to revise the plan and signed it.

The parting of ways between Foreman and Strauss means that TEP has ushered in an industrial upgrade.

&Automobile, Link

United Defense, Tower Company, and many overseas TEPs, integrated into TEP Holdings, will have nothing to do with Director Xu in the future, and Strauss, James, and Boris will be in charge of the proposed listing.

Tin Toy Factory, TEP Energy, TEP Angel Investment, Daze Series, and Foreman Shipyard were integrated into the "Iron Sheet Company", with Foreman as chairman and Xu Fei as factory director, making it bigger and stronger.

The reason why we do this is that in the main capital world, we don't go public, and others can't play with us.

Just like Strauss and the oil tycoon and the major shareholder of Boeing, they have been very close recently, but if they don't hold shares in each other, the other party will not treat Strauss as their own.

After the TEP cut, Strauss took the shares of TEP Motors in exchange for the shares of the Oil King, and then took the shares of United Defense and the Iron Tower Company in exchange for the shares of Boeing.

In addition, we have conducted some business exchanges with ExxonMobil and other companies.

In general, TEP has truly embarked on the road of capital and integrated into the capital society.

On my own side.

Energy lost the Hazara oil field, the inventory was seriously depreciated, and the lake collapsed.

& Angel investment is a small business with little profit.

The Foreman shipyard now has not even a shadow......

For a long time in the future, we can only rely on the tin toy factory to carry the beams.

So, it's time for the toys to be upgraded.

Xu Fei thought for a long time, and through the computer that came with the "Tank Factory" where the "Workshop Office" was located, he inquired about the remote-controlled tank.

RC Tank: 1.5 meters long, 1.2 meters wide, with medium armor, electric drive, weight 1.2 tons, maximum carrying capacity of 0.5 tons.

Based on radar coverage, it can realize remote control, with a complex control console, all-round camera, and automatic fire control system...... The maximum speed is 210kh per hour, and the maximum range is 200 km.

The manufacture requires 1 ton of titanium magnesium alloy, 1 ton of rare earth ore, and 100 million energy.

[RC tank, quantity 1, takes 4h.] ]

[In Manufacture......]

Waiting period.

Xu Fei ushered in seven men and eight women.

"Factory director, I inquired, they reported you with your real name."

"How?"

"Report that you have been subjected to hui, abused lynching, careless management of human life, deceived superiors and subordinates, were not firm in thinking, and betrayed the masses......

"It's serious."

"It's the group of young grandfathers who fought with us before and were hung on the river embankment by you, almost more than thirty people."

"What do you elders say?"

"This... We definitely support Director Xu, they are old, and the old lake is gone."

"Okay, I see."

In the eyes of many people, Director Xu left TEP and lost the resources of TEP, and now he is nothing.

As for the position of Hongqi Automobile.

What's in it, isn't it the above sentence?

Therefore, the elders of seven men and eight women made grass on the wall.

The red-haired girl spoke, "My grandfather is not old, and even wrote a letter of proof, saying that you have not violated any rules in Hongqi."

"The financial director of our factory is still very aware of the righteousness."

"Neither did my grandfather." The leading brother among the boys, the red-haired boy spoke.

"Who is your grandfather?"

"The head of the People's Bank."

Xu Fei rolled his eyes, before the implementation of the crude oil procurement plan, a large amount of capital turnover, 20 billion US dollars in foreign exchange, plus 10 billion US dollars in foreign debt, diverted to countless offshore accounts, all of them were people's banks, it is estimated that his grandfather was the first to notice that the signs were wrong, after hearing about the incident, he has been hiding in the basement, refusing to meet anyone, and has not come out for a whole month.

Everyone understands what the other party means.

Prove your innocence.

The Hazara oil field in the province was leaked by some people, and they took the blame on their own.

"Your grandfather... I'll invite the old man to dinner when I get back."

"Thank you, Director!" Less redheads

Nian was very happy, took advantage of the situation to stay away from a few friends, and stood with the red-haired girl.

And look at the eyes of the little friend: traitor!

This made it very difficult for the few remaining people.

One of them struggled for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Factory director, my grandfather is hospitalized and must bring an oxygen mask."

"Get out!"

Xu Fei scolded angrily, picked up the Wen Eucalyptus clip, and slapped it on the head a few times, "Lao Tzu has been taking you for so long, and he will teach you to pull out the oxygen tube?"

The latter squatted on the ground, holding his head in his hands, was slightly stunned when he heard the words, raised his head and said aggrievedly: "No, I want to say, my grandfather can't open his mouth."

「……」

Xu Fei's hand waving Wen Eucalyptus stopped in mid-air, came back to his senses, and hurriedly rubbed the back of his head, "Hitting is kissing, scolding is love, you see, several of them are not qualified to be beaten."

"But it hurts too much."

"Okay, the director of this factory has now fallen into Pingyang, and it is estimated that he will soon lose his position as a Hongqi Automobile, a few of you, whether you leave or stay, feel free."

"We firmly support Director Xu!"

"That's good, in that case, let's talk about the next work."

Xu Fei took out Tang Mo, a design consulting company, an engineer from a United Industrial Design Company, Wan Tao, a computer service company, and three types of laboratories, and made a concept version of the Three Kingdoms of Machinery a long time ago.

That is, during the Smash Bros. Championship, the "remote control character" imagined at the opening ceremony.

"I decided to launch this toy before the World Championship began."

"Director, you resigned from the TEP."

"What's the name of our toy factory?"

"Tin Toy Factory!"

"Just by the name, you know that it has nothing to do with TEP."

"But isn't the factory controlled by TEP?"

"It'll be separated soon."

"You bought it?"

"No, the TEP split up, and the Tin Toy Factory was divided into Foreman."

"Oh!"

The seven men and eight women suddenly realized, except for the red-haired girl, the red-haired boy, and the teenager who was going to pull out his grandfather's oxygen tube, the rest were all annoyed.

Although Director Xu does not follow Strauss and does not get the support of James, Forman, who has obtained half of the TEP and produces it himself, is estimated to be playing wild with the support of Director Xu.

"Factory director, this matter must be kept secret, we have to lure that group of people out."

"Do you still need to say it? Let me tell you first, I trust you."

The red-haired girl whispered, "I suspect that you are trying to stabilize the morale of the army, and to test whether we have two or five boys in the house."

Xu Fei: "......"

"Don't worry, the factory director, whoever dares to be a second or five boy, I will let him take the initiative to hang it himself." The red-haired boy looked at his friends, who were already disdainful.

The latter failed to get 100% trust from the factory director this time, and hurriedly made a positive statement.

"Let's get down to business."

Xu Fei stopped everyone from playing and flipped through Tang Mo's drawings, "The characteristics of the second-generation mechanical Three Kingdoms must be the military general's plan and lines.

However, the structure that supports the military commander meter is too complicated, and unless a robot is developed, the transmission system cannot release more than 5 military general meters.

For this reason, I have decided to launch the third generation of the Three Kingdoms of Machinery."

Since Tang Mo et al. designed only conceptual products, there are no structural diagrams, no model diagrams, and no GIFs.

Xu Fei picked up a pen and paper and said while writing, "The third-generation characters are mainly running, such as placing a runway......

The red-haired boy's eyes lit up, "Similar to a four-wheel drive?"

"Pretty much, but our mechanical characters have legs and can jump."

"100m hurdles?"

"Parkour."

According to the insights in the expansion film, Xu Fei listed some platforms, grass, and puddles on the runway, "How is it?"

"But, factory director, the power can't keep up. Besides, how do you control it remotely?"

"Motor drive,

Add the remote control and hang the player on the rails at the same time."

"Do you play a roller coaster while controlling your character remotely?"

"It's pretty much the same, but I'll need to test a few of you."

「……」

"If it is done, we can launch a large field and have a 5v5 mode of mechanical Three Kingdoms Smash Bros."

Xu Fei thought about it seriously and gave up the gameplay like Chenghai 3C in the expansion film.

After all, mechanical characters can't fight monsters and level up, let alone change so much equipment.

Instead, it is based on skill, similar to the mode of football, basketball, and rugby.

Grab the "energy block" in the opponent's base.

After rushing over and grabbing it, transport it back to your faction's base for +1 points.

During which it can be shot down and defeated.

In addition, there are rules such as halftime breaks, timeouts, violations, substitutions, and heads-up draws.

"How?"

"Factory director, we all agreed that we can launch finished products without experimentation."
