With Wang Cheng's precedent of successfully passing the neurostress test, Qin Ran had an idea in his heart, he was going to give the soldiers a test and then give it to the young people in the research institute to do a test.

As for the elderly, it is not taken into account, the nervous load is reflected as a padded jacket tied all over the body, and the weight is carried away, which requires strong physical fitness, and only young people are eligible.

Of course, this is just Qin Ran's personal speculation, and it is not necessarily all right, for example, in "Pacific Rim", isn't there an example of a father and son being the same driver?

In the next few days, Qin Ran taught Wang Cheng the content and precautions of the test, and after confirming that there was no problem with his operation, he completely handed it over to Wang Cheng to do a neural load test for the soldiers, while Qin Ran was going to go to the Neural Exchange Technology Research Laboratory to have a look.

Without waiting for Qin Ran to set off, Wang Xuezheng and a group of people came back first, and they were the first to find him.

"Jiangnan No. 5 Heavy Factory has preliminarily negotiated to lease two factories with an annual rent of 3 million. However, these two factories needed to be rebuilt, and Lao Wu and a few people stayed there to discuss the renovation plan. In addition, the workers who build the mechs can also be drawn from the heavy factory, but the labor wages need to be paid by us. ”

The rent of three million is not high, and it is even very cheap, and it is estimated that the fifth heavy factory in Jiangnan sold it to Wang Xuezheng to save face, and the workers are directly transferred, which can shorten the time compared with organizing recruitment by themselves.

As for the renovation of the plant, this is also expected by Qin Ran, not to mention whether the equipment of the plant can meet the needs of mecha construction, it is estimated that the height of the plant is not enough.

The design height of [Horizon Warrior] is 70 meters, which determines that the factory building must reach more than 70 meters, and the general factory building is at most twenty or thirty meters, and it cannot meet this requirement without reconstruction.

In any case, it is better to rebuild than to build the foundation.

So Qin Ran was already quite satisfied with this result.

In a few words, Wang Xuezheng pulled the topic to the driver's neurostress test.

"I heard that the pass rate is low?"

Qin Ran nodded, "The test results in the past few days, the pass rate is about 0.5%, this is still a neural load test, and there is also a neural exchange test, and the neural exchange test, I estimate that the pass rate is lower than the neural load test." ”

Wang Xuezheng couldn't help but gasp when he heard this, because the answer Qin Ran gave was too different from his psychological expectations.

The pass rate of the first round is 0.5%, and the pass rate of the second round is still lower than this, so I plan that the pass rate of the second round is also 0.5%, and the pass rate of the two rounds of tests is 0.00025%, that is, only twenty-five people out of one million people are eligible to become mecha pilots.

Moreover, this is still the result of participating in the test after screening, and only 10,000 of the 300,000 soldiers of the Southern Military Region were selected to participate in the test, and the physical fitness of the soldiers is higher than that of ordinary people in all aspects. In this way, the country's population of more than one billion, it is estimated that the number of people who can be drivers will not exceed 100, which is still a relatively conservative algorithm.

"Is there a way to increase the pass rate?" Wang Xuezheng asked the same question as Jiang Weiguo.

"We don't have the technology yet!" Qin Ran's answer was exactly the same, but he added: "At this stage, if we want to improve the pass rate, we can only relax other conditions, such as identity background checks and lower academic requirements, but if we do that, we have to spend time and energy to cultivate the basic ability of drivers." ”

In fact, Qin Ran felt that Jiang Weiguo's screening conditions were too strict, out of 300,000 people, only 10,000 people were screened, which was too low. The ideological quality of soldiers is higher than that of ordinary people, and the screening conditions in this regard should be relaxed, so Qin Ran personally thinks that 30 soldiers, half of them will be eliminated.

In front of Jiang Weiguo, Qin Ran couldn't say anything, but in the face of Wang Xuezheng, Qin Ran didn't have so many scruples.

Wang Xuezheng did not respond positively to this question, he just counted the data: "Of the 10,000 people in the Southern Military Region, 50 people can pass, and the other military regions are about the same, adding up to almost 250 people, plus the recruitment of recruits that Jiang Weiguo said, how can there be one or two hundred people who have passed, so all of them add up, the number of people who have passed the neural stress test is almost 400 people, if the pass rate of the neural exchange test is also 0.5 percent, then 2 of these 400 people can become drivers, at this stage, We only have one mech under construction, and two pilots are just enough. ”

Qin Ran listened to this algorithm, and was a little crying and laughing, how could probability science be so useful, if it wasn't for being familiar with Wang Xuezheng, he would feel that the other party was too naïve.

But it was precisely because of this familiarity that Qin Ran felt that Wang Xuezheng seemed to be avoiding something.

However, Qin Ran didn't break the idea of asking the casserole to the end, but just responded along the other party's train of thought: "Two drivers are enough for the time being, as for the future, we can only start training drivers from the basics." ”

Seeing that Qin Ran agreed with his statement, Wang Xuezheng seemed to be very satisfied, so he brought up the issue of [War Vanguard] again.

"Qin Gong, the ownership of [War Vanguard] belongs to you personally, and it is now used for the driver's neural stress test, which is obviously inappropriate. At first, I thought that the neural load test was just a process, but now it seems that it is not as simple as going through the process, and there are many opportunities to use [War Vanguard] in the future, and the country advocates a clear distinction between public and private, and you can't let you suffer, so my personal idea is to buy [War Vanguard] in the name of the country, and the price is one billion, what do you think? ”

Qin Ran didn't even think about it, so he shook his head, "Forget it!" ”

"What, the price is too low? How about adding another 100 million? ”

Qin Ran waved his hand again and again, "It's not a matter of price, [War Vanguard] is the first mecha in my life, and I want to keep it as a souvenir." And the funds on the project are not abundant, so there is no need to spend on it. ”

Wang Xuezheng can also understand Qin Ran's feelings for the [War Vanguard], after all, that mecha was built little by little by him for ten years alone, even if it is a stone, it can also have feelings, let alone a mecha.

"Since the sale can't be done, let's change the way - lease, and I'll ask someone to draw up a lease contract later."

Qin Ran didn't object this time, nodded and agreed.

Then, Wang Xuezheng mentioned another problem.

"Regarding the patents in the design and construction of mechas, what do you think about Qin Gong?"

"Isn't Chang Gong busy with patents recently, of the 154 patents involved in the mecha, he has negotiated 89 patent authorizations."

"Huh! I'm talking about your invention patent. ”

"Mine?" Qin Ran frowned, he really didn't seem to care about this.

Seeing Qin Ran like this, Wang Xuezheng had an expression that he had already guessed. So he suggested:

"I will say hello to the permanent worker, report your invention patent, and at the same time, I will also sign a patent authorization contract with you."

In this regard, Qin Ran has no opinion, his invention must not be provided to the state for free, not because he is greedy for that bit of patent fee, but because of a matter of principle.
