Chapter 12 [Boxer] Experimental type, start of work
After only one day of rest, Jiang Chen returned to busy work and study.
A few days later, as the time entered March, Luo Feng also left the Jiangnan Base City with the senior officials of the Extreme Martial Arts Gym and went to the elite training camp known as the ‘God of War Reserve’.
Pieces of specially customized equipment were sent to factories in the suburbs, assembled in the newly opened area, and taken over by Jarvis.
Most of these equipment are machine tools, production equipment, etc., but they have been adjusted accordingly according to Jiang Chen's requirements, and they are considered 'specially customized versions'.
"Master, the last robotic arm has been tested and there is no problem. As long as the materials are in place, work can start."
Jarvis's voice sounded.
Jiang Chen looked up and saw dozens of robotic arms dancing nimbly on both sides of a conveyor belt.
"The drawings have been entered into your database. You should make a preliminary plan first." Jiang Chen ordered.
During this period of time, Jiang Chen has exchanged the design drawings of the [Boxer] power mecha, but it still takes a process to turn the drawings into real objects.
According to the instructions in the drawing, this three-meter-high powered mecha involves hundreds of thousands of parts and is extremely complex.
Even if it is produced and assembled according to the drawings, it is still a very troublesome thing.
Fortunately, with the help of Jarvis, Jiang Chen does not need to do many tedious details himself, which can improve a lot of efficiency.
Jarvis can easily control a large number of robotic arms and complete the processing and assembly of a large number of parts at the same time. One 'person' can replace tens of thousands of senior engineers.
This is also the greatest charm of a highly developed industrial civilization.
Jarvis is very efficient, especially with supercomputers as computing power support. It may be difficult for him to develop a new project from scratch, but analyzing an already completed project is Jarvis's best choice. One of the areas of expertise.
In less than a minute, Jarvis completed the analysis of the [Boxer] drawings and gave a preliminary plan: "Master, with the current production capacity of the production workshop, it can meet the production of all parts. and processing. But I personally suggest that some technologies are not high. The parts can be purchased from outside, which can save at least 40% of the time cost. According to the information I collected from the Internet, there are more than a dozen companies in Jiangnan Base City that have the ability to complete orders.”
A large amount of data and information instantly appeared on the screen.
Which parts must be produced by ourselves due to high technical content or confidentiality requirements.
Which parts can be ‘outsourced’ to other companies.
Even the company to which the order can be placed to get the lowest price is marked in great detail.
"Good job." Jiang Chen smiled. Having Jarvis as his assistant really saved him a lot of effort.
"But there is another trouble." Jarvis said: "According to the design requirements, the energy supply module of the [Boxer] power armor uses a micro nuclear reactor with a length, width and height of no more than 25x15x10 cm, but A reactor of this size is difficult to produce under current conditions Come. We can only use a backup solution, using batteries to power it. But even the best battery can only last about ten minutes in full power mode."
A certain parallel universe. Among them, the Tyranid Federation rules the entire galaxy, and its technological level is naturally much higher than that of the current Earth.
Even the most basic [Boxer] power mecha has many designs that are far beyond the level of the earth.
Most of them can easily find alternatives, but energy supply is more troublesome. The design and manufacturing plans for micro nuclear reactors are of course included in the drawings, but given the current conditions on earth, it is simply impossible to do so.
If battery power is used instead, battery life will inevitably drop significantly.
However, Jiang Chen was already aware of this shortcoming when he chose the [Boxer] power armor.
"Don't worry, just use the battery-powered solution first. At worst, just ask them to bring more spare batteries." Jiang Chen looked at the list of 'suppliers' listed by Jarvis, and suddenly When I saw a name, I was surprised: "Xu's Heavy Industries? Is it related to the Xu family of the HR Alliance?"
Although the butterfly effect brought about by Jiang Chen's appearance has changed many things, some things still happened as usual in the original work.
The same is true for the relationship between Luo Feng and Xu Xin.
However, when Jiang Chen had a drink with Luo Feng before, Jiang Chen heard Luo Feng mention that Xu Xin's family seemed unwilling to accept Luo Feng as his 'son-in-law'.
Shaked his head and didn't think much about this problem.
"Send emails to 'Wade Industry', 'Xu's Heavy Industry', 'Third Industrial Group'... these companies, detailing our requirements and asking them to give quotations and estimated construction periods. On the premise of meeting the parameter requirements, priority should be given to efficiency. Whoever produces faster will use it. You can consider adding money to make them meet the deadline. It's up to you to do this." Jiang Chen casually gave the order without any hesitation. The plan to 'open the back door' to the Xu family.
It's just a small batch order, there's no need to consider things like 'favor'.
Besides, it is Luo Feng who has something to do with the Xu family, not Jiang Chen.
"Understood, we have sent an email of cooperation intention, and we expect to receive a reply within three working days." Jarvis answered, and then asked: "Master, do you need to purchase raw materials now?"
Jiang Chen gave casual instructions Said: "Place an order. For those special materials that are difficult to buy on the market, send a separate email to Li Dawei and ask him to help with it."
With the current level of technology on earth, it is necessary to put [Boxer] It is still quite difficult to completely reproduce the power mecha.
In many places, performance needs to be weakened and configurations reduced to barely meet the requirements.
Even so, it still involves a large number of special materials that are difficult to buy on the market, such as some special metals, superconductors, etc. with extremely low output.
However, with the relationship between Jiang Chen and the military, it is not difficult to obtain these materials.
As soon as the email was sent, Jiang Chen's communication bracelet rang, and it was Li Dawei calling directly.
When I picked up the phone, it turned out to be about this batch of materials.
"There are some experiments that require the use of a batch of special materials." Jiang Chen explained, but did not say the specific content of the 'experiment'. He made a haha and dealt with it: "Yes, send it to this place in the suburbs." Just the factory area."
"Thank you, Mr. Li, the fee will be deducted from my share."
"If there is anything valuable. As a result, we will definitely give priority to working with you, don’t worry.”
After chatting for a few words, Jiang Chen looked at the slightly empty factory, suddenly thought of something, and couldn’t help but frown, and asked. : "Jarvis, do you think some defense facilities, such as weapons, need to be deployed here?"
