Chapter 206 The Earth Precarious!
In mid-August, Mechanical Three Kingdoms Smash Bros. is about to enter the world championship competition.

The total prize money of up to 1 million US dollars, thousands of third-generation remote-controlled mechanical character prizes, and millions of exquisite souvenir gift boxes have made the world's mechanical enthusiasts excited.

According to statistics, in the first ten days of August alone, the number of overseas players gathered in the capital exceeded 8.

Their travel, accommodation, and catering have greatly promoted surrounding consumption and brought countless foreign exchange.

However, the founder of the Mechanical Three Kingdoms, Director Xu, resigned from TEP, and the new CEO, Bo Ruisi, even postponed the competition.

Immediately afterwards, many news about TEP business adjustment came.

Boris intends to move the TEP car factory to the port city.

Boris intends to cast TEP Angel and move to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

Boris is going to lay off staff, cut salaries, and kick someone's dog out of TEP.

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

For a while, the official websites, official forums, and official chat rooms of Tin Toy Factory in various regions were overcrowded and protested.

Now, Director Xu, who has been obsessed for half a month, finally came out again. The players seemed to find a vent, and they ran to Zouhu.com.

Mechanical toy lovers, the number of global registrations is as high as 5 million, and there are about 5000 million players participating. At least 300 teams that have entered the world finals have been confirmed to participate in the competition.

The sudden outbreak of public opinion even overshadowed the $200 billion crude oil supply agreement signed between Morgan and OPEC.

Even the business manager who received the news called Director Xu.

Didn't you say everything is under control?
Why did you really resign?
Also, what does the gibberish shipyard mean?
However, in the middle of the call, he was invited by the general manager of his camp to have tea.

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

At this time, we must believe in the ability of adults.

Maybe He and adults can gain more power from it.

Just when so many news were flying all over the sky, and so many speculations were both false and true.

Another founder and deputy director of TEP, Foreman, arrived in Daze.

In the past half a year, this newly rising political rookie in Germany has gradually completed the above proposals with proposals such as 'resolving employment', 'developing industries', 'emphasizing housing', and 'improving welfare', as well as relying on TEP dividends. Influenced by the coming influence, he is running for the Speaker of the Berlin State Parliament, and the approval rate is extremely high.

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

The reporters who stayed in Daze surrounded the high-spec motorcade and interviewed Foreman.

Strauss was born in Austria and was born in a family of musicians. He moved to Germany in the 40s and left behind a unique taste of Vienna.

Foreman, on the other hand, is a German through and through.

The figure of about 1.7 meters, although not very tall, is quite straight, the clothes on the body are angular, and the two eyes are shining brightly. Overall, it looks particularly energetic.

Facing the interviews of many reporters, Foreman squeezed out a slight smile on his cold and rigid face, then straightened his face and shouted seriously: "TEP, The Earth Precarious!"

"???"

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

Soon.

There was a heated argument inside.

Foreman scolded Strauss for forgetting the original intention of creating TEP.

Strauss countered that Foreman was not a qualified business operator.

soon.

Some TEP employees revealed that Foreman, as a member of the German parliament, had long been dissatisfied with Strauss' relocation of TEP's headquarters to North America. Since then, the two have never met again.

As a capitalist, Strauss was also very dissatisfied with Foreman's use of TEP money to subsidize the German people.

This made many reporters feel different.

Some people try to get close to the conference hall of Building 1.

Some people contacted colleagues everywhere to collect relevant information.

Strauss and Forman's shareholding in TEP is 50:50, respectively.

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

TEP seems to be splitting up!

.........

Whether TEP is separated or not 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 production, parking and maintenance of fighters. It comes with radar and communication devices, which can detect intelligence within a radius of 1000 kilometers. It comes with air-to-air series guide eggs and ground-to-air series guide eggs. ]
[Airport Department-Airport: It has 4 parking bays and can consume 10 billion energy for expansion. ]
[Airfinger Department-Barracks: Engineers can be converted into pilots and ground crews for free, but recruiting paratroopers requires 10 energy. ]
[Airfinger Department-manufacturing plant, according to the level of technology, it can currently produce: Kirov airships, Black Hawk fighters, peacekeeping bombers...]
Kirov airship: heavy-duty aircraft, 460 meters long, 110 meters wide, 150 tons dead weight, with medium armor, can defend against general attacks, can carry 1200 tons of cargo, can be modified, combat radius? ? , with a top speed of 450 kilometers per hour, with the addition of technological support, the data has increased by 20%.

Production requires 50 tons of reinforced fibers, 50 tons of rare earth ore, 50 tons of ultra-light armor metal corresponding to defense capabilities, and 10 billion energy.

Black Hawk Fighter: This is a heavy-duty fighter jet with powerful defense capabilities, advanced forward-swept wings, and can mount 10 combat bombs, 10 long-range guide eggs, and 2 air-to-ground missiles, with a combat radius of 1900 kilometers. The top speed is 3200 kilometers per hour...

Manufacturing requires 10 tons of titanium-aluminum alloy, 10 tons of rare earth ore, and 100 billion energy.

Peacekeeping bomber: This is a light bomber that can be lifted vertically. It has an extremely advanced propulsion system. It comes with 5 BD-99 'Javelin' series laser-guided Booms with a hit rate of 8%. The maximum flight altitude 3 meters, with a maximum flight speed of 5100 kilometers per hour. It can turn defeat into victory when you lose air supremacy. It is also the most threatening air unit in wartime.

Manufacturing requires 50 tons of titanium-magnesium alloy, 50 tons of rare earth ore (for refining), and 100 billion energy.

Armed Helicopter: Lack of technology.

Bomber of the Century: Insufficient technology.

Laser UFO: Lack of technology.

Space Shuttle: Insufficient technology.

Rocket pilot: Insufficient technology.

Moon Rocketeer: Insufficient technology.

Other slightly.

"Could it be that the technological content of the shipyard is higher than that of the airport?"

"Shouldn't be!"

Xu Fei carefully looked through the introduction of the 'air finger module' and the unit description again.

"Laser UFO!"

"How does this thing look like a flying saucer?"

"There are also space shuttles, rocket pilots, and moon landing rockets... Is the mother planet too big for me?"

"So inferred, the shipyard can produce spaceships?"

"No wonder the next module requires 200 billion energies."

"However, if there are spaceships..."

Xu Fei sighed in disappointment, and counted the main modules that had not been repaired, and there were still as many as 23.

The repair progress of the core of the base has risen to 25%, and the previously repaired modules have also been updated one after another.

The basic production line has a "nano-spraying", which can replace electrolysis, so that the coating can achieve a mirror effect.

To unlock the 'sniper' in the camp, you need to go to a suitable place to recruit.

The Power Plant unlocks 'Solar Technology' and requires Electronics Lab support.

The chariot factory unlocks 'remote control tanks', each of which requires 1 million energy.

Radar gets the 'Energy Consumption Reduced by 20%' feature.

The V-series rocket car unlocks the 'land speed +20%' feature.

"The question is, the Olympics are about to come. If the shipyard is not repaired, should I fly the Kirov airship and go to Australia to watch the games?"

Xu Fei fantasized about it, feeling unreliable.

It is necessary to repair the escort of the Black Hawk fighter and the peacekeeping bomber to ensure that such a large heavy-duty aircraft will not be shot down.

But with 10,000+ employees, at least 20 Kirovs are needed, plus X3 fighters, what will Australia think?
And count the days.

It is exactly 9 days from the Olympic Games on September 15th.

Today, August 8, harvest 14 million energy every day...

"Not enough."

"Besides, who knows if the shipyard will be next."

Xu Fei walked out of the Hongqi workshop office, took the vicious dog with him, and wandered to the northern test area. In the open space further north, he called out the 'empty finger module' to try to pre-build.

The appearance of the building is like a four-pointed star, and the part extending from the center represents the parking lot.

For every additional parking stand, an additional one will be extended, up to the nine-pointed star.

Covering an area of ​​5000 meters x 5000, the central area is 'operation center', 'arms depot', 'barracks', 'command center' and so on.

In addition, two roads are extended, one leads to the outside world, and the other leads to a separate 'manufacturing plant'.

The height of the building can be adjusted to 50 meters, but it can be expanded down to 150 meters for storing idle fighters.

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

Why can't our buildings be built taller?It can't be just because of firefighting. After all, our technology is improving, and there will definitely be planes for firefighting in the future.

Da Ma looked at the commander seriously: "Are you stupid? What is our base for?"

"War!"

"That's right, since it's used for war, wouldn't it be a living target if you make the building so tall? Especially every module is an important functional unit. If it is destroyed, how can you fight back against the enemy?"

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

I also understand why upgrading the laboratory and upgrading various modules basically extends underground.

[Do you want to build the 'Empty Finger Module'? ]
"Yes."

[Please prepare steel and concrete of the corresponding scale, and arrange 1000 engineers. ]
[You installed the 'Empty Finger Module', the conditions are met, and the construction period is 5 days. ]
[You have reduced the number of engineers and extended the construction period...]
Now Xu Fei has almost mastered the gameplay from module realization to reality.

The main body is built first, and the appearance is gradually improved. The normal construction period is declared to the outside world, but it is already ready for use.

"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 plan for forming a new company.

Fuhrmann Shipyard, a German company, is headquartered in the northern coast of Germany and has branches in the Asia-Pacific region.

Since he is personally the director of the factory and has the core of the main base, his family plans to build a floating island on the east side of the East China Sea, near the Pacific Ocean, and then build the 'Foreman Shipyard-Asia-Pacific Division'.

Main business: offshore transport ships, ocean freighters, ocean tankers, ocean cruise ships, customized warships.

But now the 'null fingers' are fixed.

Maybe change it to 'Foreman Aircraft Works'.

"No, since the shipyard can produce spaceships that can fly, then there is no problem with the shipyard making airplanes."

Xu Fei didn't bother to revise the plan, so he took a pen and signed it.

Foreman and Strauss parted ways, which means that TEP ushered in an industrial upgrade.

TEP Automobile, United Defense, Tower Corporation, and many overseas TEPs have been integrated into TEP Holdings. In the future, they will have nothing to do with Director Xu, and Strauss, James, and Boris will be responsible for the planned listing.

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

The reason for this is that the main capital world, if we do not go public, others will not be able to play with us.

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

After TEP was cut, Strauss exchanged the shares of TEP Motors for the shares of Oil King Company, and then exchanged the shares of United Defense and Tower Company for the shares of Boeing.

In addition, conduct some business exchanges with companies such as ExxonMobil.

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

Here at home.

TEP Energy lost the big Hazara oil field, and its inventory depreciated severely, making a mess of losses.

TEP angel investors are all small businesses with little profit.

Foreman Shipyard is now gone...

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

Therefore, toys should also be upgraded.

Xu Fei thought for a long time, and checked the remote control tanks through the computer of the 'Chariot Factory' where the 'Workshop Office' is located.

Remote control tank: 1.5 meters long, 1.2 meters wide, with medium armor, electric drive, self-weight 1.2 tons, maximum carrying capacity 0.5 tons.

Based on the radar coverage, remote control can be realized, with a complex console, omni-directional camera, automatic fire control system... the maximum speed is 210km/h, and the maximum range is 200 kilometers.

Manufacturing requires 1 ton of titanium-magnesium alloy, 1 ton of rare earth ore, and 1 million energy.

[Remote control tank, quantity 1, time-consuming 4h. ]
[in production...]
waiting period.

Xu Fei ushered in seven men and eight women.

"Factory Manager, I found out, they reported you by real name."

"How to say?"

"Report that you were punished, abused lynching, disregarded human life, deceived the superior and concealed the truth, was not firm in thinking, and betrayed the masses..."

"It's really serious."

"It's the group of young grandpas who fought with us before and were hanged by you on the river bank. There are about 30 people."

"What do your elders say?"

"This... we must support Director Xu, they are old and confused."

"Okay, I see."

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

As for the position of Hongqi Automobile.

What are you doing? Isn’t it the above sentence?

Therefore, the elders of seven men and eight women have become fools.

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

"The chief financial officer of our factory is still very understanding."

"My grandpa doesn't have either." The red-haired boy who took the lead among the boys said.

"Who is your grandfather?"

"Pedestrian Supervisor."

Xu Fei rolled his eyes. Before the implementation of the crude oil purchase plan, a huge amount of capital turnover, 200 billion US dollars in foreign exchange, plus 100 billion US dollars in foreign debts, was diverted to countless offshore accounts, and all of them went to the Pedestrian Bank. It is estimated that his grandfather was the first to notice that something was wrong. After hearing about the incident, she hid in the basement, refused to meet anyone, and did not come out for a whole month.

Everyone understands what the other party means.

Prove your innocence.

The large Hazara oil field in the province was leaked by some people, and they themselves took the blame.

"Your grandpa...I'll treat the old man to dinner later."

"Thank you, factory manager!" The red-haired boy was very happy, and took advantage of the situation to stay away from his friends and stand with the red-haired girl.

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

This made it hard for the few remaining people.

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

"roll!"

Xu Fei cursed angrily, picked up the folder, and punched his head a few times, "I have been taking you for so long, so why did I teach you to pull out the oxygen tube?"

The latter squatted on the ground, holding his head in his hands. Hearing this, he was slightly taken aback, raised his head and said aggrievedly: "No, I want to say, my grandpa can't speak."

"..."

Xu Fei's hand waving the copy folder stopped in mid-air, regained his senses, and quickly rubbed the back of his head, "Beating is kissing, scolding is love, you see, none of them deserve to be beaten."

"But it hurts too much from your beating."

"Okay, the director of the factory is now in peace, and it is estimated that he will lose his position in Hongqi Automobile soon. You guys, stay or leave, it's up to you."

"We firmly support Director Xu!"

"That's good, since this is the case, let's talk about the next work."

Xu Fei took out the design consulting company Tang Mo, the engineer of the United Industrial Design Company, the computer service company Wantao, and the three types of laboratories, the concept version of the Mechanical Three Kingdoms developed a long time ago.

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

"I decided to launch this toy before the world championship game starts."

"Director, you have resigned from TEP."

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

"The Tin Toy Factory!"

"You can tell by the name, it has nothing to do with TEP."

"But isn't the factory TEP Holdings?"

"It will be separated soon."

"You bought it?"

"No, TEP has been separated, and the tin toy factory has been divided into Foreman."

"Oh!"

The seven men and eight women suddenly realized that, except for the red-haired girl, the red-haired boy, and the boy who planned to pull out his grandfather's oxygen tube, everyone else was very upset.

Although Director Xu won't go with Strauss and won't get the support of James, but Foreman, who has obtained half of TEP's self-produced products, with the support of Director Xu, probably will play wild ways.

"Director, this matter must be kept secret, we have to lure those people out."

"What do you need to say? Let me tell you first, I trust you."

The red-haired girl whispered: "I doubt that you are trying to stabilize the morale of the army, and also to test whether there are two or five youngsters among us."

Xu Fei: "..."

"Don't worry, the factory manager, whoever dares to be a second-five boy, I will let him take the initiative to hang up." The red-haired boy looked at his friends who had already looked down on him.

The latter failed to gain 100% trust from the factory manager this time, so he hastily expressed his opinion positively.

"Let's talk business."

Xu Fei stopped the crowd from messing around, and flipped through Tang Mo's drawings, "The characteristics of the second generation of Mechanical Three Kingdoms must be general tactics and lines.

However, the structure supporting the generals is too complicated. Unless a robot is developed, the transmission system cannot release more than five generals.

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

Because what Tang Mo and others designed is only a conceptual product, there is no structural diagram, no model diagram, and no GIF.

Xu Fei picked up the pen and paper, and while drawing, he said, "The characters of the third generation are mainly about running, such as setting up a track..."

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

"Almost, but our mechanical character has legs and can jump."

"Hundred meter hurdles?"

"Parkour."

Xu Fei listed some platforms, grasslands, and puddles on the runway according to the insights in the expansion film, "How about it?"

"But, factory manager, if you screw it hard, the power can't keep up. Besides, how do you use the remote control?"

"Motor-driven, adding a remote control handle, and hanging the player on the slide rail at the same time."

"While playing the roller coaster, while remote control characters?"

"Almost, but I need to experiment with a few of you."

"..."

"If it is done, we can launch a large-scale venue for a 5V5 mechanical Three Kingdoms battle."

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

After all, mechanical characters cannot fight monsters and upgrade, let alone replace so many equipment.

Instead, it is based on skills, similar to football, basketball, and rugby games.

Grab the 'energy blocks' in the opponent's base.

After rushing to grab it, transport it back to the base of your own camp, +1 point.

During this period, it can be shot down and defeated.

In addition, set rules such as intermission, timeout, violation, substitution, draw and heads-up.

"How about it?"

"Factory Manager, we all agree that the finished product can be released without experimentation."
