From arms dealer to king of war

Qiao Jia listened and followed Johnny Payne to the depths of the experimental warehouse...

Looking at a glowing humanoid model with flexible armor covering its chest, shoulders, back, waist, and outer limbs, Qiao Jia frowned and looked at it carefully, then couldn't help but take off the flexible armor on the model's arms. The exoskeleton covers the outside of his left arm and the back of his hand...

Seeing the five half centimeter wide and two millimeter thick flexible patches fitting naturally on the back of his fingers, Qiao Jia couldn't help but open and close his palm, and then looked at a mechanical arm fixed on the table next to him. After making the same move, he couldn't help but said: "Shit, you combined the induction armor with the flexible exoskeleton?

How much does such a gadget cost? "

Johnny Payne blinked, stretched out five fingers, then hesitated and then withdrew one finger...

Qiao Jia stared and said, "4 million?"

Johnny Payne said a little embarrassed: "40 million, US dollars, well, maybe a little more...

Our guys do feel that wearing a full suit of sensor armor is a bit redundant, given the structural limitations of robots and the fact that we really only need them to simulate the movements of our hands and feet.

Boss, you should have seen its appearance. It can not only greatly increase the safety protection of the human body, but also the extra exoskeleton support on the waist and back can allow some people to fully exert their own strength.

We have already conducted experiments with a few jungle veterans, and wearing it can offset about 50% of the reaction force.

This means that as long as the soldiers can adapt, they can explode with more powerful force like boxers wearing boxing gloves. "

Qiao Jia scanned this new set of armor. He was still not interested in the so-called synchronous induction equipment, and knew that Johnny Payne and the others were not only doing this to please themselves, but also needed to use it to dilute the new induction equipment. R\u0026D costs.

Because everyone knows that the boss is particularly generous with things that enhance combat effectiveness, this new type of flexible armor was born.

Of course, the cost-effectiveness of this thing is not obvious, but Boss Qiao doesn't care, and he likes it too much for more body protection and more body load.

Who would refuse equipment that makes them stronger?

After completely recording the data, Qiao Jia looked at Johnny Payne and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I think you did a great job.

Although there is a lot of water in this 40 million, I forgive you.

In the future, remember to still put some effort into supporting equipment, even if you purchase advanced equipment from outside and modify it, it doesn't matter.

There are so many soldiers in P.B. The special forces can customize their own, but for ordinary soldiers, we need to design different standard equipment systems according to their level and position.

The Tyros car you designed is more in line with P.B.'s needs than many high-end armored vehicles. We will work more on these in the future. "

As he spoke, Qiao Jia tried the flexible armor on his left arm again. Looking at the delicately moving robotic arm, he shook his head and said with a smile: "FUCK, it is indeed very high-end, but it is also very expensive!

The key point is that I still can’t figure out how to use them, and I’m not going to fucking space…”

Dorian touched the armor on the plastic mannequin with some disgust and said, "This thing actually cost 40 million?

I think we can win all wars without this thing!

Keep these 40 million to buy food, which can feed the people of Sangha Town for a long time..."

Johnny Payne was choked by Dorian and didn't know what to say. He hesitated for a while and then said: "Sir, but with it, you can become stronger..."

Dorian didn't know what he was thinking of, and said helplessly: "Being stronger means that the boss needs more stimulation, which is actually not a good thing."

As he spoke, Dorian saw the boss glare at him, and he said helplessly: "Well, my fault, it's really a rare good thing to be able to carry a few more things and take a few more bullets. "

Dorian's words are a bit rough, but the truth is indeed the same...

The boss is a novice in fighting, so he can break up a fight just fine, but the function of this suit of armor to relieve the reaction force and release the body's power is basically useless.

In Dorian's opinion, partial protection enhancement and increased load-bearing are really not worth 40 million.

Qiao Jia glanced at Johnny, who looked unhappy, and then he patted Dorian on the arm and said with a smile: "Elephant, I think you are suitable to be the laboratory director. With you, they will definitely There is no way to waste money..."

Dorian nodded solemnly, and just as he was speaking, Johnny turned decisively and walked away and said: "Boss, I will take you to visit other places.

Our airship upgrade project team has been working hard, and the ground station project has also made great progress due to the participation of Huaguo Company. "

Johnny walked to the door and said while waiting for Boss Qiao: "Boss, there is no doubt about the stability of the airship, but I think if you have a chance, you should still consider communication satellites.

Tesla's Starlink has made some progress, and the company intends to subvert the current earth communication model.

I personally am not very optimistic about this approach, but for P·B, it is still necessary to choose a completely independent communication system.

In fact, the price of civilian communication satellites is not high, 6 to 8 satellites are enough to meet the needs of P·B...

If possible, I think you can contact China. We can provide a Talos robot to serve on the space station for free, as long as we carry out some experimental projects on it. "

Qiao Jia touched his face, looked at Ayou and said, "Do I look particularly rich?"

Ayou frowned and said, "Boss, you don't need to look like you are very rich indeed!"

Qiao Jia rolled his eyes and shook his head, saying: "No, I think if I continue like this, my money will not be enough..."

As he spoke, Qiao Jia waved to Johnny Payne and said: "If there is anything else, take me to see..."

Johnny Payne didn't get a clear answer, so he wasn't in a hurry. It didn't matter if China's latest Tiangong space station couldn't fit in. There was still a chance for the space station built by the United States and other countries.

Because it is too old, the risk factor begins to increase after astronauts go up there, and things like the Talos robot are needed to fill the experimental gaps.

In fact, this guy has always had clear business goals. At the beginning, he used R\u0026D funds from the United States to do research, and finally came up with a useless combination of Telos terminal and armor. In fact, he was eyeing sensor suits and armor from the beginning. robot.

Now that the company has been acquired by Boss Joe, Johnny Payne's original intention has not changed.

Qiao Jia didn't mind Johnny Payne's cleverness. After all, this guy was still a scientific researcher, but he was just better at attracting investments than ordinary scientists.

Moreover, the Talos terminal and exoskeleton, which were abandoned by the old Americans, have greatly benefited P.B.'s soldiers.

This is enough for Boss Qiao, and it is worth spending some money!

It’s just that in the past, Boss Qiao felt that Telos Company was only useful to him, because there was no market for Telos exoskeletons...

Hard passive exoskeletons have been priced at cabbage prices by Chinese companies.

The actual performance of the flexible passive exoskeleton is far from worthy of the cost price of US$700,000.

Now this thing is made by Boss Qiao himself. If he sells it, he must have a well-documented product line. And with a price of 700,000, it is estimated that no hard-core taker will be willing to pay the bill.

Only Boss Qiao in this world can use this kind of thing on his own soldiers without any scruples, and only Boss Qiao has the motivation to save the dying Telos Company.

As a result, now he discovered, hey! It seems like this money-losing guy actually has hope of making money...

Does Qiao Jia know why Johnny Payne aims at the space station?

Because the space station can be said to be the embodiment of the highest technology on earth, only by conducting tests and experiments in that environment can the robot's control system be further improved and its value proven at the same time.

But Boss Qiao is not in a hurry. He has plenty of time. When the Talos robot can pass his level, he will take it to his mother's house to promote it.

Johnny Payne actually always wanted to get a clear answer from his boss, or even just a hint, because he was not as nervous about burning the money of the US Department of Defense as he was about burning boss Joe's money.

Because as long as the Ministry of National Defense gives enough rebates, no one will cause trouble if the project fails, but burning Boss Qiao's money is completely different.

He didn't know that Boss Qiao had a cheat. In his mind, Boss Qiao took over a money-losing product and was still enduring his own greed for funds.

To be honest, a boss who knows nothing but is very willing to invest is like an angel to scientific researchers, but it would be different if this angel carries an M9 around his waist all year round...

After leading Boss Qiao and the others to an area east of the Hexagon Building, Johnny Payne spread his hands and said: "Boss, this is the airship modification team arranged by Boss Qiao Liang.

I originally thought they were only responsible for upgrading and maintaining airships, but then I discovered that these young people have unparalleled imagination in military equipment..."

Johnny Payne pointed to the workshop-like area and said, "They still need to learn, but..."

Qiao Jia waved his hand to interrupt Johnny Payne's words. He walked to a Sagittarius robot and said hello to a nervous fat man...

This thing should be a defective product from Telos. Someone removed the human body of Sagittarius and installed a photoelectric radar that looks a bit complicated...

There are two six-barrel Gatling guns mounted on the left and right sides of the strong horse's back, and an ammunition box raised like a hump in the middle.

Qiao Jia scanned the thing, and he suddenly smiled and said: "How many seconds can this thing be majestic?"

Upon hearing this, the fat man rubbed his nose and said awkwardly: "According to our current test, well, 15 seconds..."

Speaking in Mandarin with a strong Henan accent, the fat man looked at Boss Qiao and said, "Hey? Laoxiang..."

Qiao Jia was stunned by the fat man's words, then pointed at his nose and said with a smile: "Get the board..."
