Chapter 579: Can’t figure it out (second update)
Big Black Fish has many mute directions. Not only are there many directions, but they are also very complicated.

Liu Hai has little understanding of this aspect, that is, the general direction, and has not done much research on specific materials.

But when it comes to silence, modern ships and various aircraft are actually developing in this direction.

Even aircraft carriers are designed to be silent in many aspects, from air conditioning to overall dynamic shock absorption and noise reduction.

Because the noise is too loud, people at work can't stand it.

The same is true for fighter jets. The engines of fighter jets and the noise they make when flying are very loud. If the pilot is exposed to this environment for a long time, the damage will be very serious.

Therefore, the pilot's cockpit also has headphones, which all use a series of noise reduction technologies.

Of course, no fighter can be silent yet. There is also the legend of the X59 hypersonic fighter. It is said that the noise is less than 75 decibels when flying at supersonic speeds.

Regardless of other stealth bombers or stealth fighters, they make a rumble when flying.

After all, this is determined by the aircraft itself, and the sound of the jet engine cannot be made small.

Then the junior brother rushed in in a hurry.

"Brother!" Liu Hai was in the maintenance department thinking about how he could help Big Black Fish. Regarding the battery, he was sure. The number of charges and discharges and the lifespan of the battery in the 70s were definitely not as high as in 2020. He heard someone calling him outside. .

It mainly contains pineapple and banana.

"I have something good to show you!" The junior brother mysteriously took out something from his back.

"Wow! Brother?" The junior brother looked at Liu Hai with a look of disbelief on his face.

When the junior brother saw the cans and bottles Liu Hai brought over, he quickly washed his hands.

"Do you like this kind of robot?" Liu Hai said.

And cognition is still mainly about mathematics, and other things are secondary, such as parent-child activities and crafts.

"I came here by bus. I called my father and I will have dinner at your place at noon." The little junior brother said like an adult while playing with the toys.

Someone has to ask, hasn’t the Transformers toy market been saturated after so many years?
Toys can never be saturated, because children are born one generation after another, there are new babies every year, and children grow up every year.

Of course, toy manufacturing companies are not willing to sell toys in China, because exporting Transformers toys can earn foreign exchange, and the supply exceeds demand every year. Of course, the domestic production of toys has not increased.

"Didn't you go to school today?" Liu Hai glanced at the calendar on his desk and asked.

There are all kinds of people on the aircraft carrier. Maybe someone graduated from the submarine academy or something. It would be great if I could find some information. If I can't find Liu Hai, I can only write some directional things based on what I know.

Liu Hai estimated that the uncle mentioned by his junior brother might be Zhu Haiyang's colleague or friend.

Moreover, children are now taught reading, literacy and mathematics in kindergartens.

"Brother, my uncle said that there are still big, big robots, and when I grow up, I will go abroad." The little junior brother said while eating dried fruits and drinking water. He simply had no time to spare.

Of course, Zhu Haiyang doesn't need to introduce Liu Hai to his colleagues.

Liu Hai nodded, put the water glass on the table, and then went next door to get a can bottle, which was filled with dried fruits.

"When the time comes, I will fly the plane and take my eldest brother to the sky to play." The younger brother glanced at Liu Hai again.

The reason why Liu Hai has these Transformers toys are the samples that came out when the maintenance department was designing and manufacturing them.

"How many little red flowers will you get this year?" There is no exam in the kindergarten itself, but the teacher will distribute little red flowers based on the children's performance.

"I want to eat spicy grilled fish." The little junior brother said while playing with the toys in his hands.

"Choose one. This is your reward for getting 10 small red flowers. Next time you get 10 small red flowers, you can choose another one." There is no use for these toys here, so Liu Hai might as well bring them Inspire the younger brother.

The junior brother's eyes widened because this cabinet was filled with Transformers toys.

"We are on vacation. One of my uncles brought this back from abroad. You see, it is now a car, and now I turned it into a robot." The junior brother quickly picked up the Transformers in his hand and said to Liu Hai Show off.

"It's just very expensive." The junior brother said while fiddling with it enthusiastically.

However, because the Transformers cartoon was not released in China, many people thought that turning cars into robots was a bit nonsense, so there were no Transformers toys for sale in China.

"What do you want to eat for lunch, or fish?"

"Is this expensive?" Liu Hai didn't know the price of Transformers abroad, but he knew from the annual patent fees he received that this thing was definitely not cheap.

"I'll bring you some back this afternoon." Liu Hai nodded.

"Go to the aircraft carrier and see if there are any relevant books or magazines." Liu Hai did not blindly write about noise reduction.

"Ten little red flowers, at most ten little red flowers. I said that I will be a pilot in the future. I must study hard and fly a plane in the future." The junior brother said to Liu Hai without raising his head.

Liu Hai chuckled: "Come with me."

Generally speaking, when a tutor introduces a student to a friend or colleague, the main purpose is to pave the way for the student, but Liu Hai, a student, does not need to pave the way at all.

Liu Hai took the younger brother to a room next door and opened a cabinet.

This is the product produced by Liu Hai’s project in Hainan.

Liu Hai saw that his junior brother had a Transformers toy about ten centimeters tall in his hand. It was the simplest kind that could be turned into a robot. There were magnets in the joints and the like.

Liu Hai was pouring boiling water for his junior brother, and he laughed when he heard this: "Then I will wait to take your plane. Did you come here by yourself or was someone sent you here?"

Liu Hai didn't know much about Zhu Haiyang's colleagues and friends. He only knew the colleagues from the former University of Technology, but he had never met the rest.

"Of course I do." Junior Brother nodded.

"Brother, this is so delicious. Are there bananas and pineapples in it?" The junior brother looked at the stickers on the cans, which had pictures of bananas and pineapples on them.

"Exchange this row with 10 small red flowers."

"Exchange this row with 20 small red flowers."

"Exchange this row with 30 small red flowers."

"The biggest ones cost 40 small red flowers."

Liu Hai classified the Transformers in the cabinet into different grades. The main reason was that the big ones were a bit too big, almost seventy or eighty centimeters tall.

If Transformers toys can be brought back by people who go abroad, it cannot be a minority. After all, who doesn’t have children?

If there was no such toy in China before, then bangs would not be able to give it to anyone. Now that it is available in China, bangs would not matter.

Junior Brother's mouth was almost drooling as he looked at the largest row of Transformers.

"Can I pay on credit first?" Liu Hai was a little surprised by the younger brother's words.

"No credit allowed!"

"In the future, if you can get 100 points in school, you can change to another one." The junior will be able to enter the first grade in September next year.

"Then I want this. Can this airplane also turn into a robot?" The junior brother stared at the airplane Transformers in the row below.

Liu Hai took out this airplane Transformer and operated it. It was a robot. The junior brother's eyes were wide open, watching the plane turn into a robot, and the first level said: "I want this, I want this."

"Take it." Liu Hai put the Transformers inside into his junior brother's hands, then turned around and closed the cabinet.

Next, the younger brother just kept busy playing with toys. He didn't put away the toys until it was time to eat.

After eating, the junior brother found a table in Liu Hai's office and started to operate alone, with the two Transformers fighting against each other.

A man was muttering over there and running around doing role-playing.

In an office, two people are doing their own things without disturbing or interfering with each other.

Zhu Haiyang got off work early today and drove to pick up his junior brother.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw bangs writing and drawing on the desk on the right. My son was sitting next to another desk, holding a can bottle in his arms.

"Teacher." Liu Hai stood up when he heard the sound of opening the door.

"Excuse me, I told you when I got up in the morning that I would come find you." Zhu Haiyang nodded.

"I also said that I would take my junior brother back after get off work later." Liu Hai originally had this plan.

"I'll just pick him up myself. This guy is very naughty." Zhu Haiyang laughed.

Liu Hai took out several cans containing bananas and dried pineapples and put them in a cloth bag.

"Thank you, brother!" The junior brother looked at the dried fruits that Liu Hai packed for him, and said thank you while taking them.

"You're welcome." Liu Hai touched his junior brother's head.

"Come to my house for dinner tonight?" Zhu Haiyang took the cloth bag handed to him by his son and said.

"I won't. I'll work a little later after dinner, and it'll be Chinese New Year in less than a month." Liu Hai shook his head.

"Then I'll leave first." Liu Hai sent Zhu Haiyang out of the door.

After checking the time, I moved my body for a while, then went to the toilet and went to the cafeteria to eat first.

Zhu Haiyang took his son and took a car back. Although it was a factory area, it was more than 2 kilometers from the maintenance department to where Zhu Haiyang lived.

After Zhu Haiyang returned home with his son, his wife saw the cloth bag in Zhu Haiyang's hand.

"What are they giving out again?" The teacher's wife thought that the factory was giving out something again, and the motorcycle factory would give out benefits at the end of the year.

"It's from Xiaohai." Zhu Haiyang put the cloth bag in the hands of his wife.

"Have you never seen this kind of can?" The teacher's wife picked up the can bottle in her hand and looked at it carefully.

Zhu Haiyang took it over and looked at it and said: "It should be something for export. The label is in English."

"Is this also issued by the factory?"

"I don't know, probably not."

The couple were talking here, and the younger brother spoke: "This is delicious."

"How did you get two toys? Who gave you another toy?" Only then did the teacher's wife realize that the younger brother had two toys in his hand.

"This plane was given to me by my eldest brother. He has a cabinet full of them, including very big ones."

"Brother asked me to exchange for little red flowers in the future. This is what I got 10 little red flowers for."

"In the future, as long as I get the little red flower, I can go to the elder brother to exchange it." Although the younger brother did not explain clearly the cause and effect of the matter, Zhu Haiyang still understood.

"Where did Xiaohai get these things?" the master's wife asked a little puzzled.

"It's probably a gift from someone else. It's probably not sold in China, so I didn't take it out." Zhu Haiyang felt vaguely that something was wrong, because the friend who gave him the toy said that there are many kinds of Transformers, and the most expensive one is the one that can transform into a plane. The robot one is said to cost tens of dollars and seems to be a limited edition.

But Zhu Haiyang also knew that asking his son was in vain.

"Put away the toys and go ask your sister to eat." The master's wife instructs the little junior brother to do things.

The younger brother just knocked on his sister's door. This is how he works in the hospital. He may work all night, or even two days together.

If you work the night shift, come back during the day to catch up on your sleep.

"Eh? What kind of can is this?" After the junior sister got up and washed up, she found the can she had brought back.

"Your senior brother gave it to me." Zhu Haiyang was serving the dishes.

The junior sister looked at the cans and bottles with English on them: "Is this for export?"

"Why don't you see it sold in the store?"

"That's right. It's time to eat."

When Zhu Haiyang got up the next morning, he heard his son getting up in the next room.

"There is no class today, you are on vacation." Zhu Haiyang pushed the door open and found that his son was getting dressed.

"I'm going to get up and do my winter vacation homework. There are also little red flowers in my winter vacation homework." Zhu Xin's answer left Zhu Haiyang speechless.

"Mom, is the meal ready?" Zhu Xin shouted loudly as he put on his clothes.

"Go to the cafeteria and eat by yourself."

"Then I'm going to the cafeteria to eat." After Zhu Xin heard his mother's answer, he took the key and went to the cafeteria to eat.

Zhu Haiyang was very pleased to see Zhu Xin's face showing enthusiasm for learning.

Zhu Haiyang went to the department for a meeting this morning and met a friend who gave him toys.

"Lao Li, thank you for the toy. My son likes it very much." Zhu Haiyang said politely during lunch.

"You're welcome, Mr. Zhu. If he goes abroad next time, I can help Mr. Zhu bring some back." Obviously, this old Li did not have a high status as Zhu Haiyang, so he was called Mr. Zhu.

"Thank you. Do you think the most expensive toy can be sold for tens of dollars each?" Zhu Haiyang asked casually.

"The most expensive one is said to be one meter high, which can be sold for 888 US dollars. Each character is limited to 1000. It is said that only some collectors have it. Others say that the current 888 US dollars can be sold for three or four dollars. Thousand dollars.”

"In addition, there are some that talk about limited editions. The price of robots transformed from cars is relatively low, generally around 10 US dollars. The robots transformed from airplanes are more expensive, generally between 50 US dollars and 100 US dollars. Aircrafts seem to be divided into different camps. For this and that type, we will examine the amount of U.S. dollars issued to each person." Lao Li nodded and said.

"I still have a brochure from the toy store at that time. I can't figure out why some plastics can be sold so expensively." Lao Li took out another brochure from his briefcase.

Zhu Haiyang got the poster and looked at the prices of the toys on it, which ranged in price. The most expensive one was US$888, and the limited edition was clearly marked.

Soon Zhu Haiyang saw the airplane-turned-robot toy that Zhu Xin had brought back. The price tag was 80 US dollars, but there were second-hand prices on it. The older the toys, the more expensive they were. The price of the first batch had reached more than 400 US dollars.

"Why is it so expensive?" Zhu Haiyang did some calculations and found out how much our salary was equivalent to 80 US dollars. He was also very surprised.

"This is like this in developed countries, and you can't just buy it if you want. Just like this limited edition, buyers must buy as many toys as possible before they are eligible to buy them. In addition, the number of limited editions sold each year is limited. If If you can't be ranked this year, you will have to wait until next year. It is said that some people can make dozens of dollars by getting the limited edition and reselling it." Lao Li also shook his head. It is hard to imagine that a few hundred dollars, which is a few thousand yuan in China, can be spent on a piece of plastic.
