Doomsday Totem

Chapter 504 Expensive
After several days of calculations, Alice combined the database of Chunqiu Heavy Industry's main computer and the data collected on the world network all the time, and finally formulated a preliminary plan.

After the drawings came out, the engineers of Chunqiu Heavy Industry immediately put into research, day and night, without sleep.Although this plan is preliminary, there are thousands of design drawings alone. There are so many details and a heavy workload that ordinary people can't imagine.

A week later, Cang Haiya and more than [-] elders called Tie Slag to the conference room with dark circles under their eyes to discuss the follow-up work.

"Before the discussion starts, I want to ask you a question." Cang Haiya stared into Tie Slag's eyes and said seriously.

"Please speak." Iron Slag made a gesture.

"Do you trust Alice? Or..." Cang Haiya paused, then said with emphasis, "Do you trust your artificial intelligence module? Do you think she has enough loyalty to you?"

"Why do you ask that?" Tie Slag asked puzzled.

"Because her design scheme uses the shipboard nuclear furnace and the most advanced black oil internal combustion engine as the power source, and it can maintain operation for ten years with one refill of fuel."

"This means that she has a very high degree of freedom..."

"And, if this plan is followed, she will have the capabilities of self-maintenance, upgrading, mining minerals, R&D and production."

"Like a fully automatic mobile factory equipped with armed forces, as long as resources and environment permit, it is not impossible to develop into an independent mechanical empire..."

"So, please think carefully and answer carefully." Cang Haiya stared at him with an extremely serious expression.

Facing this question, Tie Slag fell into long-term contemplation.The elders all looked at him quietly, there was no eagerness or urging in their eyes, only peace and tranquility.

Quietly, scenes from the past can't help but emerge in front of my eyes.

"Because Natasha was afraid that artificial intelligence would escape the control of human beings and eventually develop into the enemy of human beings, so he trapped Alice in the module..."

"Therefore, no matter what conditions Alice puts forward, you must abide by one principle, that is, you cannot unlock the self-destruct device in the module. Otherwise, the artificial intelligence that can freely copy the main body will be like a wild horse..."

"Remember, no matter what the circumstances, you can't disable the self-destruct device. This is the bottom line of being a human being."

"My friend, let Alice take you around the world..."

"We still have to fly into the universe to find the brilliant civilization in the galaxy!"

"Dear Iron Slag..."

"Alice...Can Alice do something for you?"

"How about something to eat? There are still a lot of compressed biscuits..."

"Captain, you won't die..."

"take care."

All of a sudden, there was only that little spot of light left in his world, fading away on the horizon.

They have walked through the lonely wilderness, crossed the boundless sand sea, crossed the vast ice field, crossed the thousand-year-old snow-capped mountains, and swam the icy ocean.

"I..." Tie Slag raised his head, swept his calm eyes over everyone's faces, and said solemnly, "Trust her!"

He believed in the great scientist, and even more in his creations.It was the crystallization of his life's painstaking efforts, his daughter, his pride, and must have inherited his deep love for mankind.

"Okay, since you trust her, let's start discussing the following issues." Cang Haiya said loudly.

"Because the design drawings provided by Alice are far more complex than ordinary aircraft, and contain a lot of the latest and most cutting-edge technologies, even with the strength of our entire factory, it will take half a year..."

"In terms of time, is there no problem?" Cang Haiya asked Tie Slag.

"Well, yes." Tie Slag nodded and said.He doesn't have an urgent need to use the aircraft yet, and if he really can't, he can buy a second-hand one and use it first. The market price is only about 50 to [-] yuan.

"In terms of funds..." Speaking of this, Cang Haiya paused for a while, looked at the elders present, and then hesitated, "Need...need 700 million..."

"What!" As he expected, before he finished speaking, Iron Slag was taken aback and almost fell off his chair.But he can't be blamed for this, even the Chifeng Fortress is only about a million.

"This... this..." Cang Haiya showed embarrassment, took out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead, and said, "Don't worry, let me explain slowly..."

Next, Cang Haiya gave a detailed explanation of why the required amount was so huge, like an astronomical figure.

The first item that requires a lot of money is the suspension core.

The suspended core is a kind of "anti-gravity substance" produced in the plane of "Qi Man's Dream". It is in the shape of a light yellow crystal with high light transmission. It has a tight structure like a diamond, and the whole body exudes a light golden shimmer. .Because of its shape resembling a diamond, it is extremely rare and expensive, so it is also called "the diamond of the stars".

They repel the magnetic field of the planet's core, thus keeping objects suspended in space.In Qiman's dream, all floating islands contain this substance.

But the structure of this substance is very peculiar. If it is placed in the world of Silver City, the magnetic fields will interact with each other, and the magnetic hedging will be eliminated, thus losing the function of levitation.

Due to the small size of the aircraft, the suspension core must be a complete piece of natural anti-gravity material.Once broken into several pieces, they will repel each other and become useless.

Mining the Celestial Diamond is extremely difficult and dangerous work.Under normal circumstances, only a floating island with a size of tens of square kilometers can have a large star diamond, and when it is mined, the entire island will collapse in an instant and fall into the boundless sea.

According to Chunqiu Heavy Industry's previous plan, only one suspension core for ordinary large aircraft is needed, and the market price is about 15.

However, the Alice plan added a large amount of equipment and shipboard armament, as well as a steel armor as thick as a turtle shell. Its carrying capacity has increased by more than 300 times, and it must be supported by a "[-]-ton-class" suspension core.However, the market price of [-]-ton class is at least [-] million, and it is a high-level strategic material. There is no market for it, and it may not be possible to buy it if you have money...

The second item that requires a lot of money is the patent royalty of high-end technology.

Since Silver City World's high-end technology is controlled by large manufacturers, if you want to use high-end equipment such as ship-borne nuclear furnaces, black oil internal combustion engines, demon biochemical cabins, and electromagnetic guns, you need to pay them huge patent royalties.

Although there are some hidden places that can be concealed, there is definitely no way to save the cost on the surface.And this cost is about 170 million.

The original plan of Chunqiu Heavy Industry was to install only two electromagnetic guns, and then use the fuel internal combustion engine as the power source, because these patents have a history of more than 100 years, and the cost is relatively low, a few thousand gold coins will do.But the black oil internal combustion engine and the devil biochemical cabin are all top-notch, and the patent fees are frighteningly high.

In addition, the devil's biochemical cabin is the technology of Harley Industries, and Harley Industries is behind the Golden Triangle and Templar Princess.If he dared not to pay the patent fee, Chunqiu Heavy Industry would probably be gone tomorrow.

"I also have..." Hearing this, Tie Slag almost cried out.But he didn't finish the second half of the sentence because it didn't make any sense.Although he and You Ge found it together at the time, but she was the princess of the temple, even if she robbed her openly, he had nothing to say.

The third item that requires a lot of money is rare metals.

Chunqiu Heavy Industry's original plan was to use "King Kong-grade" super-density alloys as the cylinder block of the internal combustion engine, "industrial-grade" super-density alloys as the power transmission system, and the rest to be made of ordinary steel.As for Alice's plan, even the floor is made of super-density alloy...

It can be seen from this that the required fine gold, mithril, and black iron will only be in the tens of tons, worth tens of millions.You must know that the price of using the top materials used to make the engine to make the floor must be astronomical.Although there is still a big gap compared to the golden battleship of the Templar Princess, it is still the first-class luxury in the world.

After listening to Cang Haiya's narration, Tie Slag asked Mu Qianhe to push the red comet over and asked, "Alice..."

[Great master, waiting for your order~] A childish voice came out from the speaker.

"Do you think..." Tie Slag asked lightly, "Am I rich?" When he was picking up trash in Tieshan Town and his annual income was only a hundred gold coins, she asked for a Harley-Davidson Eagle and an RC Kamikaze Warrior.For him at that time, it was simply an astronomical figure.

[beep beep...]
"Rework the plan, I will pay the most..." Tie Slag thought for a while, stretched out three fingers and said, "300 million."

[Toot... so stingy~]
The red comet swung the front of the car, and a girl's murmur came from the speaker.

"However..." Iron Slag said again, "Ultra-density alloys can be looser, but don't use them as floors." The material warehouse of the ancient temple still stores a large number of rare metals left by the glorious lineage, and there is no need for additional If you spend money to buy it, you only need to grind off the mark and find CHI to smelt it.

After this period of contact, he also learned a lot of industry-related knowledge.CHI has the largest scale. Although its smelting technology is not as good as that of RC Company and Harley Industries, its efficiency is high enough and no special relationship is needed, as long as it has money.But if you find the same RC company in the central continent for smelting, if you don't have enough status, not only the price is expensive, but you also need to queue up.

[yeah~]
Alice uttered a joyful cry and circled around the iron slag.

"The casing can only be made of industrial grade." Iron Slag added.

[Woo... Chi...]
The sound of a flat tire came from the speakers.

[Obey, my master]
"To be honest, the cylinder block of an internal combustion engine doesn't need to be a master craftsman, right?" Tie Slag asked, facing Cang Haiya.

[want~want~want~]
Alice protested loudly.

"This... this..." Cang Haiya seemed a little embarrassed.

[want~want~want~]
Alice yelled and the headlights flickered.

"Master, please explain clearly." Tie Slag ignored Alice's entanglement, and asked for advice seriously.

[want~want~want~]
"It's hard to say..." Cang Haiya touched his sparse beard and said, "There is an old saying in the Far East, you get what you pay for..."

[want~want~want~]
"Do you want it, or don't you want it?" Tie Slag asked.

[want~want~want~] "yes, it's fine, don't, it's fine." "Then do you want it or not?" [want~want~want~] "it's up to you to decide, it's all right, it's all right That's right." "This..." [To ~ to ~ to ~]
In the end, Tie Slag sighed, and said, "Then take it."

[Long live~Long live master~]
