MTL - Iron Armored City-Chapter 189 Special research and development funds

"Brother, can this thing take people flying?" Xiaoman asked curiously, pointing to the 'suspension aircraft'.

Li Yinguang said with a wry smile: "Yes, it can carry a maximum load of 1,500 kilograms, so it is not a problem to carry a few people to fly!"

Xiaoman excitedly said: "I want to try it!"

The result of pretending to be sweet and cute is that the little brain was beaten: "It's not like you can't fly, and the port is not suitable for test flights!"

Touching the place where he was beaten, Xiaoman muttered: "Brother smelly, if you keep knocking on your head, you will be stupid. Are you willing to raise a foolish sister?"

Of course, the little girl wasn't really angry, she just expressed her displeasure in this way.

Rolling his eyes, he encouraged and said, "How about we drive the Iron Armored City of the Ancient Castle into the wild? Find a place where no one is around and test the flight?"

Li Yinguang smiled wryly and shook his head. At this time, Iron Armored City was about to leave the port, and the lord's mansion Andi Fei and the others had to mistakenly think that they had to run away.

"Don't worry, it's just a preliminary test product. When the model and specification are confirmed, I will give you a special one later!"

After speaking, he asked Buhe: "Old Bu, do you think this thing is useful?"

The 'suspension matrix controller', plus twelve 'controllable red soul beads', twelve suspension aircraft, this set of things will cost at least 250,000 silver bull coins as a base, not including 'weapons' system', if no weapon system is installed, the twelve suspended aircraft can act as an 'air taxi' at most.

In Li Yinguang's view, the advantages include 'controllable', 'flying speed', and 'arrangement'. The disadvantage is the high cost. If a set costs 20,000 silver bull coins, then don't even think about it, just close your eyes. You can do it, regardless of whether it is useful or not!

But then again, for the few 'air power' in Iron Armored City, generally speaking, they are quite useful!

Bucher grinned honestly and said: "There should be a lot of uses. With it, we can reach within a thousand kilometers in a shorter time, which is extremely beneficial for detecting intelligence. Secondly, as long as the weapon system is installed, the hovercraft can launch 'Air-to-air', 'air-to-ground' attacks, used properly, should have unexpected results."

Li Yinguang nodded, knowing that what Old Bu said was true, but the problem was that the cost of this thing was really expensive, and the money to build a set could buy six 'cannon main guns'.

I think so in my heart, but I can't say that out of my mouth. It is easy to discourage the enthusiasm of other 'researchers'. We have to encourage and support them.

"The Suspension Matrix Controller, as the first-level technical reserve in the Iron Armored City, is the subject of research and development. Funds are allocated to set up a special development team, and it is allowed to recruit exclusive personnel for this research. Buhe is also the leader of the 'Suspension Matrix Controller' research and development team."

Buhe's eyes lit up, he smiled and leaned forward and asked, "City Master, how much money can this research and development team allocate per month?"

"Ten thousand!"

Old Bu's face darkened suddenly, and he said anxiously: "I can't even research a hair of ten thousand silver bull coins, what do you want us to tackle?"

"Old Bu, you must know that the finances in the iron-clad city of our ancient castle are also very tight now... at most 30,000 per month, no, 50,000 silver bull coins, absolutely no more!" Seeing Buhe staring, Li Yinguang asked Looking anxious, he smiled sarcastically.

50,000 silver bull coins are spent on the 'suspension matrix controller' every month, and the amount is already quite a lot. You must know that the monthly investment in the 'steam airship' project is only 100,000 silver bull coins per month That's all.

The 'steam airship' plan and the 'talent training' plan, the two major plans are the top-level plans that the Castle has prioritized so far.

Some time ago, after the sugar company, the newspaper group, and the Gubaohao started to make money, they began to have special funds for these two areas.

For the 'Steam Airship' research and 'Talent Training' plan, 200,000 silver bull coins are invested every month, and each special expenditure is 100,000 silver bull coins!

Selling 20% ​​of the shares in the "Old Castle Sugar Company" for 1,050,000 silver bull coins.

The daily turnover of the ancient castle store is maintained at more than 5,000 silver bull coins, and the net profit will not be less than 3,500 silver bull coins, but it must be distributed to Andy Fei 50%.

As for the newspaper group, apart from the "Madam Newspaper" making money, "Independent Women's Newspaper" and "Mambach Town Tabloid" are both in a state of loss, and the funds invested in Zhiboge Newspaper have not been recovered for the time being.

So for the time being, the places where the Gubao can make money are in the 'Gubao Store' and the other is in the 'Lady's Newspaper', but they have to deal with the fixed expenditure of 200,000 silver bull coins per month, and the pressure is still not small.

Coupled with the research and development project of the 'suspension matrix controller', the basic monthly expenditure has reached 250,000 silver bull coins, which is not a small amount.

Li Yinguang understands that even if the money is squeezed out from between his teeth, it will still be squeezed out. Whether it can make people look at it in the future depends on whether these projects can make all the breakthroughs.

Bucher is quite satisfied with the special research and development funds of 50,000 silver bull coins per month for the project of "suspension matrix controller". Although it is not too much, it is barely enough at this stage.

With a gloomy face, Alma said helplessly: "If we spend the money according to the current posture, it will not be enough at all! I ordered to buy a second-hand 'Magnetic Energy Laser Cannon' and spent one million silver bull coins. The lady in the castle shop The monthly profit after the perfume plus the sale of nourishing brown sugar is at most a hundred thousand silver bull coins.

Even this month, relying on the "Lady's Newspaper" to make money, made up for the three special expenses of the Iron Armored City of the Ancient Castle at least 100,000 silver bull coins, and the gap will be even bigger next month. "

It seems to be making money, but there are more places to spend money, talent training plan, steam airship plan, and now there is a "suspension matrix controller" project, a total of 250,000 silver bull coins per month, which is not counted These individuals in the city eat and drink every month, as well as a fixed salary.

It's no wonder that Alma is in a good mood, in charge of the financial power in the Castle!

"Spend it first, and talk about it when there is no more money." Li Yinguang smiled dryly, not daring to argue back with Alma, money is something that can't help but be spent.

Alma's face was gloomy, and she wanted to say something, but Li Yinguang gave Buhe a wink, pretended that she had something to do, and hurriedly walked towards the upper floor of Iron Armored City.

"If you spend so much money, if you can't get something decent, I'll throw you into the smelting furnace as fuel!" Alma muttered viciously towards Buhe and the others, and left with a sullen face. up.

For Alma, Buhe is already very familiar with them. They share life and death, and share weal and woe. Naturally, he also knows that she is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, so he doesn't take these words to heart at all.

With money, you can buy materials, recruit professionals, and speed up the research and development progress of various projects. The "steam airship" project and the "suspension matrix controller" project he is in charge of, which one can go on without money?

In fact, the 'talent training' plan is not bad. Half of the 100,000 silver bull coins have been purchased to store potions, tonics, weapons, equipment, etc., and it may not be necessary to spend so many silver bull coins every month.

Therefore, the bulk of the expenditure in the Iron Armored City of the Ancient Castle is still on the 'technology research and development'.

In the control room, Li Yinguang fell into deep thought as he watched the heavy snow floating and falling outside the observation window.

What is certain is that the "Silk Book Blueprint" is definitely not just a simple "steam airship" manufacturing blueprint, it contains "black technology" in its content.

The technology of the soul system can be classified as the 'mystery system'. Although there are special research directions, the main category is still in the 'mystery system'.

"Let's think about the 'Silk Book Drawing' simply!"

Li Yinguang said softly to Lan Ling who came in carrying a tray with nourishing soup on it.

last night,

Lan Lingzhen was sent to Li Yinguang's bed, but he stayed in the cabin until midnight, and it was already dark when he came back.

Facing the charming and beautiful woman in the soft quilt, Li Yinguang didn't do anything, because he was sleepy and didn't want to wake up the sleeping woman.

In the morning, I was woken up by Buhe knocking on the door again, and I went to the bottom of the cabin to see the hovercraft that could house the "controllable red beast soul", so I didn't touch her at all, and only used Lanling as a tool to warm the bed , Sleeping comfortably all night.

Li Yinguang thought that Lan Ling was given the "cartilage potion" by Xue Niang in the sweet soup by Erma, and seeing her coming now, he took the initiative to talk to her to avoid embarrassment between the two of them.

"I've also heard that that thing can be used as an aircraft, and it can also be used as an air-to-air weapon. It should be a very rare technology."

Lan Ling walked up to Li Yinguang, and handed him the 'nourishing medicine soup' on the tray: "Xue Niang specially made it, let you drink it while it's hot!"

Li Yinguang smiled wryly and looked up at her, then shook his head helplessly: "Are my bones so weak?"

Lan Ling said with a smile: "Not weak, but not too strong!"

A sentence means something.

Li Yinguang was not angry either. He took the soup bowl and said in a low voice with a smirk, "I let you go last night. Don't think that the Lord of the city really let you go. Otherwise, you will come again tonight? Try to be specific and strong." or not!"

Lan Ling blushed, and snorted softly: "Go, go, I was willing last night, otherwise you really thought that Alma would put medicine in my meal?"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked outside quickly!

Li Yinguang was stunned, and after waking up, he couldn't help but smile, it's good to be willing, it's better to be willing than to force, isn't it, this kind of thing is more comfortable when two people are in love!

"Bring Buhe up again later, and tell him that I have something to talk to him about!"

After drinking the 'nourishing medicine soup' in the bowl, Li Yinguang put down the bowl and said to Sophia who was standing in the shadow of the corner.

"Ok!"

Sophia came out: "If you use that machine to create a controllable soul with human souls, what do you think will happen?"

Li Yinguang frowned: "Is there any difference between the controllable souls made with human souls and beast souls?"

"Maybe!" Sophia said flatly.
