In fact, Chen Xuan understood.

The passive power armor he asked for was indeed quite difficult to design.

This is especially true when it comes to ensuring structural flexibility.

Flexibility here is not just about normal up and down movements, but about being able to move like human joints and postures.

At present, it is difficult for the mechanical mechanism to simulate the posture of a human being completely flexibly, and it is a problem to look at the all-blue star.

The previous one that did a better job in this area was Bald Eagle's Boston Dynamics, whose robots were the first to achieve single-legged and standing jumps, running, obstacle avoidance and self-balancing.

Although the video that is released comes with a certain editing effect.

But it's already quite silky in terms of flexibility of movement.

This is the science of mechanical design.

Of course, it is also related to the use of hydraulic power assist system by Boston Dynamics, which is more explosive than traditional motor power.

Either way, there is a design challenge in making the mechanical structure as smooth as possible.

Fortunately, Chen Xuan said that there is no need for power, which reduces a lot of difficulty, otherwise while designing, it is necessary to consider the preset of the power system.

But even so, it was indeed not easy to do what Chen Xuan requested.

As for the individual exoskeleton that has been researched and distributed more than ten years ago, it is even more incompatible with the passive power armor he requires.

The mechanical exoskeleton originated from the early attempts to invent a mechanism made of steel frames that could be worn by humans, inspired by beetles.

It is also commonly referred to as a "powered exoskeleton".

It is essentially a wearable robot.

Generally, it includes three parts: the whole machine design, the driver (mechanism) design, and the control strategy; Among them, the "control strategy", that is, the real-time interaction and control between humans and computers, is the core difficulty.

But it's not armor, it's a human power system.

Designed to enhance the functionality of the human body, including strength, terrain spanning ability, and more.

At present, there are two main types of research and application of mechanical exoskeletons in Bluestar, that is, amplification type and auxiliary type.

At present, Xia Guo and Bald Eagle have been allocated practical models.

Xia Guo's mechanical exoskeleton started earlier, almost at the same time as large drones, so the technology is more advanced.

But this did not meet Chen Xuan's requirements.

In the final analysis, it is because the mechanical exoskeleton is not flexible enough.

Most of the current mechanical exoskeletons are used on the logistics side.

Secondly, the exoskeleton is just a frame, and it is far more difficult to expand its main body than Chen Xuan directly asking people to design a set of wearable flexible battle armor.

Therefore, he can understand why Hongyu Heavy Industry is rotten.

Because his requirements are indeed quite difficult to design.

Although it can be done with the technical reserves of the current Xia Guo Machinery Design.

But it takes a lot of effort.

A million design fee is also normal.

But what made him angry was his attitude that Zhang Youpan and Li Jianping fooled.

It can be said that it is difficult, and it is no problem to add money.

The price code was opened by the other party, and the promise was promised by the other party, but in the end, it chose to be rotten.

This is what Chen Xuan is dissatisfied with.

"Do you really think I'm a piglet?"

He sneered.

Immediately restrained his emotions, took out his mobile phone again, and dialed the other party's number again.

After half a minute, Zhang Youpan answered the phone with a little impatience.

"Didn't I say that?"

"Go to the legal route, after the contract is signed, this matter will not be under the control of the sales department."

Zhang Youpan's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Chen Xuan hooked the corners of his mouth and said in an unhurried tone.

"I'm sorry, Commissioner Zhang."

"I'll admit I was a bit loud just now."

"Well, I'm willing to pay a seven-figure design fee."

"Why don't you come out and talk about the details now."

"Call Li Gong too, the three of us will find a place to have a drink, tens of thousands of yuan, what kind of lawsuit will we talk about whether it is a lawsuit or not."

Chen Xuan's attitude changed suddenly.

It made Zhang Youpan a little unexpected.

"This..."

"Okay then."

"It seems that you are indeed very sincere."

Reach out and don't hit the smiley person.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Youpan agreed.

As for the fraud, he didn't even think about it.

What age is it?

This is Tianhai City, and the other party will not do anything to them for tens of thousands of yuan.

The perennial urban life and the relatively stable environment have long diluted people's sense of crisis.

Consideration is given to possible follow-up cooperation.

and Chen Xuan's sincere attitude.

He still decided to pull Li Jianping to the appointment again.

If the other party is really willing to pay enough design fees, then this business is not impossible to negotiate.

Hongyu Heavy Industry still has to rely on performance to speak.

As long as the order volume is large enough, the performance bonus will be more sent, and multi-department cooperation and even overtime will not be a problem to design for him.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Zhang Youpan chose to agree to meet.

The two parties agreed to meet at a tavern in Dingjia District.

After hanging up the phone, the smile on Chen Xuan's face did not diminish at all.

He admitted that he spoke loudly just now, but later, Zhang Youpan and Li Jianping would know who was the bully.

After getting up and tidying up his clothes, Chen Xuan walked into the bathroom and simply took a handful of warm water on his face.

Then he put the key in his pocket and looked back at Angela who was nestled on the lazy sofa like a kitten.

"I'll go out."

"It may be a little later."

Hearing his words, Angela hurriedly got up.

"Master, can you take me with you?"

Leaving the Blue Star and returning to Naroa.

She still wanted to see as much of the world as she could.

Hearing her words, Chen Xuan thought for a moment, but still agreed.

Bringing Angela with you is also out of the way.

As a fourth-order spellcaster of the thunder and fire systems.

Her own supernatural powers are terrifying enough in the Blue Star.

After getting Chen Xuan's consent.

She hurriedly ran into the bathroom with her clothes.

After walking out again, Angela changed her pajamas into a black dress.

She wears a storage necklace around her neck and a bracelet on her wrist, which are now the best decorations.

The Void Stone slowly changes color in the light of the light, alternating between purple and gray.

This color and light do not change quickly, so it does not appear abrupt, but only beautiful.

After changing her clothes, Angela looks like a mage who has just come of age.

The premise is that her true age is not taken into account.

However, if you look at the proportion of life expectancy, she is indeed just an adult now.

For example, for dwarves, the standard of adulthood is forty years old.

The definition of age is naturally different depending on the life span and growth cycle.

For Blue Star people with an average life expectancy of seventy or eighty years.

Angela is already a proper middle-aged person in her thirties.

But compared to her lifespan of two or three hundred years, there is no difference between being in her thirties and just becoming an adult.

Naturally, he held Angela's delicate little hand.

The two went out the door holding hands.

It was past nine o'clock in the evening.

The neighborhood is still relatively quiet, and there is not much nightlife to speak of.

But it's different when you go out.

The restaurant street opposite the neighborhood is still lively.

Especially barbecue restaurants, lobster restaurants, and grilled fish restaurants are suitable for drinking a little wine, and restaurants that eat while chatting are even more noisy.

Occasionally, you can see a few naked belly men walking out of the restaurant with their shoulders on their backs.

Cars hurried past the road.

There's always someone busy in the city.

Street lamps cast light and shadow on the ground.

Holding Angela, Chen Xuan found the car parked outside the community and drove to the agreed location.

……

At the same time, on the back seat of a certain taxi.

Zhang Youpan and Li Jianping sat together.

Both of them are old fritters of the company.

We've been working together for years.

Over the years, they have seen a lot of strange customers.

But people like Chen Xuan are the first.

Passive power armor?

It's nonsensical to think about.

However, when the contract was signed a few days ago, it was indeed true that they did not care.

Caused by irregularities in the quotation given.

This makes it impossible for the design department to meet the requirements of the other party.

According to management, it is inevitable that it will be rotten.

Anyway, behind Hongyu Heavy Technology is the national prefix.

Enjoy a local protection policy.

It is claimed to be Tianhai Pizza Hut, there are no big lawsuits, and small lawsuits don't care, this is the status quo.

The workplace mechanism of the national prefix determines everything.

That's why they seem to be emboldened.

"Li Gong, do you think there is really such a fool?"

"What kind of passive power armor are you willing to spend millions of design dollars on?"

Zhang Youpan put his hands behind his head and asked casually.

Li Jianping, who was wearing glasses, nodded.

"Judging from the current technical reserves and open-source patents, his requirements can be realized."

"But it's not a simple design task either."

"A project team needs to be formed."

"The main thing is the so-called passive power armor, which not only needs to maintain the flexibility of the mechanical mechanism, but also has both defensive power and expandable ability, which is equivalent to indirectly having practical value."

"Of course, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to make it work without a power source."

"The core difficulty is always the power source."

"Whether it's an electric motor or a hydraulic drive, the piping and power section should be reserved at the time of design."

"But he doesn't have this requirement, even if it is designed, it will be difficult to install the power department in the future."

Li Jianping, who was born in engineering, thinks more about its operability.

Hearing him say this, Zhang Youpan immediately raised his eyebrows.

"Then why didn't you say it earlier?"

"If I had known this, I wouldn't have given him such a low offer, maybe I would have just negotiated the next big contract."

The million-dollar design fee is not a small order in any machinery company.

And that's not even counting the subsequent manufacturing.

According to Chen Xuan's requirements, there is a high probability that he will take the customized route.

Then the price of a single custom is definitely not cheap, depending on the material, the price ranges from 100,000 to hundreds of thousands.

Customize ten sets of eight sets at will, plus the design fee, this is a total performance of more than 10 million yuan.

In this regard, Li Jianping yawned and shrugged his shoulders without guilt.

"Who knows if he's playing for real."

"Like tonight, he may not be finalized."

Li Jianping said casually.

He never thought that Chen Xuan's order could be talked about as successful.

Because it's too much.

From the beginning of contact with Chen Xuan, Li Jiansheng had such an attitude.

He has no interest in personal cases, and only pays attention to enterprise-level orders.

Zhang Youpan feels a headache every time he goes out with him to negotiate a contract.

And the reason this guy said to him privately was that he couldn't get used to the faces of those private nouveau riche.

With the characteristics of the company, this is not the first time he has done this.

The vast majority of private clients choose to consider themselves unlucky.

If they are more serious, they will let the company's legal department come forward.

To put it bluntly, the purpose of raising the legal department is to solve these bullshit things.

Even if someone finds the company to complain, it can be easily settled by relying on prevarication and kicking the ball.

The company also does not pay much attention to this, although it says that the customer is first.

However, there are still several types of customers in the social side.

There is still a big difference between large customers with more than 10 million orders per year and small customers with hundreds of thousands.

The main hit is a swing rotten.

After the capitalization of the national prefix, such a thing is not uncommon.

The chain of contempt exists from top to bottom.

Chen Xuan just happened to bump into something like this.

Of course, this is also directly related to Zhang Heng's business ability.

If he could better communicate with Zhang Youpan and others in advance, there might not be such a contradiction.

But either way, it's got to that.

For Zhang Youpan and Li Jianping, this is not a big deal.

Sitting in a taxi, they calmly went to the appointment.

I thought that Chen Xuan must be earnest in pleading.

It is the uncle who spends money, and this concept is reversed on the side of Hongyu Heavy Industry.

About half an hour later, they arrived at the agreed place.

Chen Xuan had already arrived with Angela first, and booked a private room facing the street.

Without drinking, he asked for a small glass of sweet water.

As for Angela, there are no taboos, and a cup of salty dog with a high intensity comes directly.

The base liquor of this thing is very high, and it is often referred to as "lost wine".

But it's nothing for Angela.

The weak physique of Naroa's spellcaster was only relative to that of a gold-level magician of the same rank.

Compared to the ordinary people in the Blue Star, her physique is still like a monster.

The private room number was sent to Zhang Youpan in advance.

Chen Xuan was drinking sweet water while chatting with Yang Renyong.

In a few days, he will have to go to Hangzhou to deal with the batch of construction vehicles and photovoltaic energy storage power supplies that Yang Renyong ordered.

In addition to Lanna Trading Co., Ltd., which is about to get on the right track.

The Qianjiang Bicycle Factory is the second secret chess he has prepared.

A lot of supplies can be poured by the Lanna Trading Company.

It can be solved by Yang Renyong.

This can share the hidden risks to a certain extent.

While he was playing with his phone, the door to the private room opened.

Zhang Youpan and Li Jianping walked in in civilian clothes one after another.

It's different from the arrogant attitude on the phone.

The realistic Zhang Youpan was full of smiles and looked extremely polite.

"Mr. Chen."

After seeing the two of them, Chen Xuan got up and showed a bright smile.
