Chapter 51 Equipment Acceptance

After visiting the firearms warehouse, Chen Yu was taken to the special vehicle storage warehouse, the artillery storage warehouse, and the helicopter and fighter jet storage warehouse.

Chen Yu carefully examined each of them and also reviewed their third-party testing reports.

However, he wouldn't be so hasty in accepting these things that were crucial to his confidence in the apocalypse.

After he finished his inspection, he said to a white-haired man next to him, "Marcus, the rest is up to you. You'd better keep a close eye on things for me."

“Don’t worry, Mr. Chen, we are professionals,” Marcus said with a smile, then instructed his subordinates to begin moving the test samples.

The Marcus team was a professional team that Chen Yu specially hired from the German Rhein Group for this acceptance test. The Rhein Group is a long-established testing and certification company that specializes in providing comprehensive testing services for various weapons and equipment.

Although Chen Yu had lived in the post-apocalyptic world for three years and had handled many firearms, he was still an amateur with limited knowledge and could not conduct in-depth testing like a professional.

He knew absolutely nothing about armored vehicles, artillery, and armed helicopters, not even in the apocalypse, let alone those three F-35B fighter jets.

Professional matters should be left to professionals. Spending a little more money and effort is nothing, after all, it concerns your firepower safety in the apocalypse.

Marcus's team immediately began their work, starting with a systematic performance test of the special vehicle.

This includes engine output, durability, protection capabilities, and the accuracy of onboard weapon systems.

Each vehicle was driven to the testing ground and subjected to various extreme conditions to ensure that it could maintain its best performance even in the harshest environments.

Next, they turned to the artillery storage warehouse.

The massive shells were transported to the firing range for live-fire testing to verify their range, accuracy, and explosive power.

The heat resistance and stability of the gun barrel are also rigorously checked to ensure that no problems will occur during long-term use.

The inspection of helicopters and fighter jets is even more complex.

These aircraft not only require detailed mechanical inspections on the ground, but also actual flight performance tests upon takeoff.

The pilots in Marcus's team were all seasoned military pilots who conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the fighter jet's handling and maneuverability, while also testing the reaction speed and accuracy of the onboard weapon systems.

Although Chen Yu couldn't understand all the technical terms, he could tell that Marcus and his team were very focused and meticulous.

They didn't overlook any small details that might affect the equipment's performance, and every test was conducted strictly according to standards, which put Chen Yu at ease.

Several days later, Marcus and his team finally completed all the tests.

They submitted a detailed test report to Chen Yu, which included data analysis and recommendations.

“Mr. Chen, we have thoroughly tested all the equipment,” Marcus said seriously. “According to our results, the equipment has reached the international advanced level, especially its performance in extremely cold and low-temperature environments, which is truly impressive and fully meets your requirements.”

Chen Yu took the report, his eyes scanning the pages filled with data and charts, and he felt a surge of satisfaction.

He looked up at Marcus and said, “Thank you very much for your professional service. I will pay you the remaining balance within a year.”

“You’re welcome, Mr. Chen. It’s our pleasure to serve you,” Marcus replied with a smile, after all, Chen Yu had paid them a considerable fee for this job.

With the release of the test report from Marcus's team, the equipment acceptance work was successfully completed, and Chen Yu signed his name on the acceptance form.

If it were a normal arms contract, the equipment should have been moved away by now.

However, Chen Yu's contract this time was rather special; he only had ownership of the equipment, but not the right to take delivery of it.

In other words, his equipment could only be stored by personnel from the military-industrial group.

Therefore, this business deal has officially come to an end.

Seeing Chen Yu pay the final payment, Sophia and the others were overjoyed. They had originally thought that Chen Yu would delay the final payment for a year or two, but they did not expect Chen Yu to be so straightforward.

This completely surprised them; they were totally taken advantage of!

Chen Yu paid no attention to what the other party was thinking, and instead smiled and said to Sophia, "Ms. Sophia, I have another favor to ask."

“Mr. Chen, just ask, and we will do our best to meet your needs,” Sophia said generously.

“I’ve already spent a huge amount of money to buy this batch of equipment. Due to special circumstances, I have to store it here with you. As a result, I have to pay a huge maintenance and management fee every year. I was wondering if you could offer some discounts on these fees?” Chen Yu asked.

“This… Mr. Chen, our maintenance personnel are all professionals, and your equipment takes up such a large area here, so we really can’t reduce the cost.” Sophia looked troubled.

"Hehe, don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. Here's what I'm thinking: I don't have much equipment to begin with, and it takes up several warehouses on its own, which is a bit wasteful and inconvenient for you. Could you put my equipment together with your inventory? That way, I can save a lot of unnecessary storage costs, and you'll free up space," Chen Yu suggested.

Sophia pondered for a moment upon hearing this and nodded, saying, "No problem, we can store your equipment as you request. I will have someone re-estimate the maintenance and management costs later."

"Thank you." Chen Yu's lips curled into a smile; his goal had been achieved.

The reason Sofia was asked to store his equipment together with the military industrial group's equipment was so that he could conveniently "buy it for free" when he came to "retrieve" his equipment in the future.

Although the military industry group did not carry out extreme cold modification on other equipment besides the batch he ordered, the performance of these equipment would be very poor in that extremely cold apocalypse.

But since it's free, what does it matter if the performance is a little worse?

His appetite was never limited to the equipment he ordered for himself.

“Ms. Sophia, there’s one more thing. Although I can’t transport these equipment, I still hope to familiarize myself with their operation,” Chen Yu said.

“Of course, Mr. Chen, you can take the instruction manuals for these devices with you,” Sophia said.

Chen Yu shook his head and said, "I hope you can send a professional to guide me."

Sophia was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then smiled wryly and said, "Mr. Chen, if you want training services, you will need to pay extra fees, and they are not cheap."

"It's alright," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "I can afford it."
