"Brother, can this thing take people flying?" Xiao Man pointed to the 'hovering aircraft' and asked curiously.

Li Yinguang said with a wry smile: "Yes, it has a maximum load capacity of 1,500 kilograms, and it is not a problem to fly with a few people!" ”

Xiaoman said excitedly: "People want to try it!" ”

The consequence of pretending to be sweet and cute is that the shell of the little brain melon was knocked down: "It's not that you can't fly, and it's not suitable for test flights in the port!" ”

Touching the place where he was beaten, Xiao Man muttered: "Stinky brother, you will be stupid when you knock on your head, are you willing to raise a foolish sister?" ”

Of course, the little girl is not really angry, but just to express her displeasure.

He rolled his eyes and said instigatingly, "Why don't we drive the Ancient Castle Iron Armored City to the wild?" Looking for a test flight somewhere no one? ”

Li Yinguang smiled bitterly and shook his head, at this time, he was about to leave the port after activating the Iron Armored City, and the Lord's Mansion Andy Fei had to mistakenly think that they were going to run.

"What's the hurry, it's just a preliminary test product, and when the model specifications are determined, I'll send you one back!"

After speaking, he asked Buhe: "Lao Bu, do you think this thing is very useful?" ”

'Suspension Parent Controller', plus twelve 'controllable red soul beads', twelve hovering aerial vehicles, this set of things will cost at least 250,000 silver bull coins to base upon, and it does not include the 'weapon system', if the weapon system is not installed, the twelve hovering aircraft can act as a 'air taxi' at most.

In Li Yinguang's view, the advantages are 'controllable', 'flight speed', and 'array' and other characteristics, the disadvantage is that the cost is high, if a set down 20,000 silver bull coins, then you don't even have to think about it, you can do it with your eyes closed, no matter if he is useful or not!

But then again, for the few 'air powers' in the Iron Armor City, on the whole, it is still very useful!

Buhe grinned and said: "There should be a lot of uses, with it, we can all reach within a radius of a thousand kilometers in a shorter time, which is extremely beneficial for detecting intelligence." Second, as long as the weapon system is installed, the hovercraft can carry out 'air-to-air' and 'air-to-ground' attacks, and if used properly, it should cause unexpected results. ”

Li Yinguang nodded, knowing that what Lao Bu said was the truth, but the problem was that the cost of this thing was really expensive, and the money to build a set could buy six 'cannon guns'.

I think so in my heart, but I can't say it on my lips, it's easy to discourage the enthusiasm of other 'researchers', so we have to encourage and support it.

"The suspension parent controller, as a first-class technical reserve in the Iron City, research and development objects, allocated funds to set up a special development team, allowed to recruit exclusive personnel for this research, and Buhe concurrently served as the leader of the research and development team of the 'suspension parent controller'."

Buhe's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward with a smile and asked, "City Lord, how much money can this research and development team allocate every month?" ”

"Ten thousand!"

Lao Bu's face suddenly darkened, and he hurriedly said: "I can't even study a single hair of 10,000 silver bull coins, what do you want us to tackle?" ”

"Lao Bu, you must know that the finances in our Ancient Castle Iron City are also very tight now...... A maximum of 30,000 per month, no, 50,000 silver bull coins, absolutely no more! Li Yinguang saw Buhe's anxious eyes and said with a sneer.

50,000 Silver Bull coins are smashed on the 'Suspension Parent Controller' every month, which is already a lot of money, and you must know that in the 'Steam Airship' plan, the monthly investment is only 100,000 Silver Bull Coins per month.

The 'Steam Airship' plan and the 'Talent Training' plan are the top plans that the Castle has prioritized so far.

Some time ago, after the sugar company, the newspaper group and the castle began to make money, there began to be special funds to supply these two pieces.

The 'Steam Airship' research and 'talent training' plan invests 200,000 silver bull coins every month, and each special project spends 100,000 silver bull coins!

Sold 20% of the shares of the 'Gubao Sugar Company' and sold 1.05 million silver bull coins.

The daily turnover of the castle store is maintained at more than 5,000 silver bull coins, and the net profit will not be less than 3,500 silver bull coins, but it will be distributed to Andy Fei 50%.

As for the newspaper group, in addition to the "Lady of Your Lady" making money, the "Independent Women's Newspaper" and the "Mambach Town Tabloid" are in a state of loss, and the funds invested in the Chi Bai Court newspaper have not been recovered for the time being.

So for the time being, the places where the Castle can make money, one is in the 'Castle Shop' and the other is in the 'Lady Newspaper', but it has to cope with the fixed expenditure of 200,000 silver bull coins every month, and the pressure is still not small.

Coupled with the R&D project of the 'Suspension Parent Controller', the basic expenditure per month has reached 250,000 Silver Bull Coins, which is not a small amount.

Li Yinguang understands that even if this money is squeezed out from between his teeth, it will be squeezed out, and whether people can look up to it in the future depends on whether these projects can have all breakthroughs.

Bucher has obtained a special R&D fund of 50,000 silver bull coins per month on the 'suspension parent controller' project, which is quite satisfactory, although it is not too much, but it is barely enough at this stage.

Irma's face was gloomy, and she said helplessly: "If we spend money according to the current posture, it will not be enough at all!" I booked to buy a second-hand 'Magnetic Laser Cannon', and it cost one million silver cow coins, and the profit of the noble lady's perfume in the castle store plus the sale of nourishing brown sugar was at most 100,000 silver cow coins after being shared every month.

Even if this month, it is necessary to rely on the 'noble lady newspaper' to make money, and make up for the three special expenditures of the ancient castle ironclad city of at least 100,000 silver bull coins, and the gap will be even greater next month. ”

It seems to be making money, but there are more places to spend money, talent training plan, steam airship plan, and now there is a 'suspension parent controller' project, a full 250,000 silver bull coins per month, not counting the monthly eating, drinking, and regular salaries of these individuals in the city.

With the financial power of the Castle in charge, it's no wonder that Irma is in a good mood!

"Spend it first, and then talk about it when you don't have any money." Li Yinguang smiled dryly, and didn't dare to argue with Irma, money is really not allowed to be spent.

Irma's face was gloomy, and she wanted to say something, but Li Yinguang gave Buhe a look, pretended to be something, and hurriedly walked towards the upper floor of the Iron Armored City.

"After spending so much money, if you can't get a decent thing, the old lady will throw you into the smelting furnace and burn it as fuel!" Irma muttered viciously to Bucher and the others, and left with a gloomy face.

For Irma, Buhe is already very familiar with her, they are all friends of life and death, sharing weal and woe, and naturally knows that she is a cold character on the outside and hot on the inside, and she will not take these words to heart at all.

With the money, he can buy materials, recruit professionals, and speed up the research and development progress of various projects.

In fact, the 'talent training' plan is okay, most of the 100,000 silver bull coins have purchased potions, tonics, weapons, equipment, etc. to store, and it may not cost so many silver bull coins every month.

Therefore, the bulk of the cost in the Castle Iron City is still in the 'scientific and technological research and development'.

In the control room, looking at the goose feather snow floating outside the lookout window, Li Yinguang fell into deep thought.

What is certain is that the 'silk book drawing' is definitely not just an ordinary 'steam airship' manufacturing drawing, it has 'black technology' in its content.

The techniques of the soul system can be classified as the 'mystery department', although there are also special research directions, but the main category is still in the 'mystery department'.

"Let's still think of the 'silk book paper' as simple!"

Li Yinguang said softly to Lan Ling, who walked in with a tray and nourishing soup on it.

last night

Lan Lingzhen was sent to Li Yinguang's bed, but he stayed in the bilge until the second half of the night, and when he came back, it was already late at night.

Facing the delicate jade man in the soft bedding, Li Yinguang didn't make a move, one was sleepy, and he didn't want to wake up the sleeping woman.

In the morning, he was woken up by Buhe's knock on the door again, and pulled him to the bilge to see the hovering aircraft that could be used to place the 'controllable red beast soul', so he didn't touch her at all, only used Lan Ling as a tool to warm the quilt, and slept comfortably all night.

Li Yinguang thought that Lan Ling was asked by Irma to put a 'cartilage potion' in the sweet soup, and when he saw her coming over, he took the initiative to find a word, in order to avoid embarrassment between the two.

"I've also heard that that thing can be used as a flying machine and as an air-to-air weapon, which should be a very rare technology."

Lan Ling walked up to Li Yinguang and handed him the 'tonic medicinal soup' on the tray: "Xue Niang specially boiled, let you drink it while it's hot!" ”

Li Yinguang looked up at her with a wry smile, and shook his head helplessly: "Is my body so weak?" ”

Lan Ling said with a smile: "It's not weak, and it's not strong!" ”

One sentence means something.

Li Yinguang was not angry, took the soup bowl, the corners of his mouth turned up and said with a wicked smile and whispered: "Let you go last night, don't think that the city lord really let go of the horse, otherwise you will come again tonight?" Try it to be tough or not! ”

Lan Ling blushed and snorted softly, "Just go, I was willing to do it last night, otherwise you really think Irma would put potions in my meal?" ”

After that, turn around and walk briskly outside!

Li Yinguang was stunned, and after he came to his senses, he couldn't help but smile, it's good to be willing, it's better to be willing than to be forced, this kind of thing is more comfortable for two lovers!

"I'll find Buhe again in a while, and I'll say I have something to talk to him about!"

After drinking the 'tonic soup' in the bowl, Li Yinguang put the bowl down and said to Sophia who was standing in the shadow in the corner.

"Hmm!"

Sophia walked out: "If that machine is used to create a controllable soul with a human soul, what do you say will happen?" ”

Li Yinguang frowned: "Is there a difference between the controllable soul created with the soul of a human being and the soul of a beast?" ”

"Maybe!" Sophia said flatly.
