After listening to Lu Yuan's words, Shi Quan shook his head helplessly.
"No, perhaps they knew about it and deliberately left this bug, since the procurement competition was organized by the military region of the Central Continent."
After hearing his words, Lu Yuan no longer frowned.
"Did they deliberately leave this bug in? Doesn't that give everyone an opportunity?"
"Sigh, who knows? These people might be colluding with each other. Maybe the people above don't know, but these procurement people are just trying to squeeze some money out of it."
Lu Yuan frowned slightly. If that were the case, their product might not be very attractive.
Then Lu Yuan glanced at the comparison in the table.
The price of several of the new batteries tested was simply beyond people's imagination.
However, their conversion rate is also ridiculously high. Lu Yuan's battery conversion rate reaches over 95%, which is an achievement that traditional batteries cannot reach at 30-40%.
However, when Lu Yuan saw the next few new types of batteries, he was immediately shocked.
One of these batteries costs tens of millions of dollars per unit, yet its conversion rate is as high as 99.5%.
Such a high conversion rate is simply insane, but it would be almost impossible to mass-produce such a battery.
It is said that this new type of battery contains something very precious.
This substance exists only in natural gas, and it requires a lot of manual labor to collect. It takes many years to collect enough for just one unit of battery.
Therefore, mass production is almost impossible.
Moreover, this type of battery is very expensive to manufacture and maintain, and its lifespan is no more than six months.
In other words, even if this type of battery is usable and can be mass-produced and equipped by the military, they will have to replace a batch of these batteries within six months.
Although military spending is the largest expenditure among all projects, equipping all soldiers with these fuel cells would be impossible even if all the money in the entire Hope Continent were used.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan shook his head helplessly.
He noticed that the top-performing batteries all had energy conversion rates of over 99%, which made him feel somewhat frustrated.
"These damn lunatics, don't they ever consider the real purpose of the competition?"
Shi Quan shrugged helplessly.
"They only need to go through the preliminary selection; they rely on competitive pricing to sustain themselves. So if our batteries are really compared to theirs, we may not be able to win this time."
Shi Quan's words made Lu Yuan fall into deep thought.
Participating in this competition doesn't seem to be going as smoothly as I've imagined.
They might suffer a Waterloo-like defeat.
Although their battery conversion rate is extremely high and their utilization rate is very high.
A single battery can easily last for ten years, and its conversion rate is so high that even after ten years, its energy efficiency will not be lower than 70%.
In addition, these batteries are extremely durable and require virtually no maintenance, so although the price of a single battery is relatively high, they are very inexpensive to use.
After much thought, another idea popped into Lu Yuan's mind.
"Since they want to do this kind of thing, then we'll do it too. It's just a matter of following the rules together. If you don't follow them, neither will we. We'll just find the bugs together."
Shi Quan glanced at it, and Lu Yuan suddenly spoke up.
"What if they cheat during the bidding? What if they buy our batteries with the highest conversion rate?"
"It's okay, just tell them how to do it and we'll do it the same way."
Shi Quan could only sigh and leave the room helplessly.
Compared to truly bad people, they might not be quite as bad, since they've always played the role of the good guys.
As the days went by, the union seemed to have remained completely silent since their last argument.
However, Lu Yuan still managed to uncover a clue through investigation.
These people had secretly registered for the competition, and they had even used up the quota for the eastern region of Hope Continent in advance.
There is nothing wrong with doing this, but there is a drawback.
That means there is a competitive relationship between the two sides. If one of them appears in a war zone, then the other one will probably be eliminated.
However, each region in the war zone has a total of ten slots.
Including the Central Theater Command, there are a total of fifty slots available for the finals.
The joint guild sent more than 30 companies to participate in this competition. They were full of confidence and well prepared to squeeze Lu Yuan and his group out of the competition.
Their malicious intent is utterly outrageous.
Although Lu Yuan hadn't found out anything, he immediately understood what was going on when he saw them all sign up in unison.
"These guys are cheating again."
Helpless, Lu Yuan could only look at them with great sympathy.
Because Lu Yuan found a substitute among his new technologies.
Moreover, although this alternative uses traditional new fuels that are abundant in the earth's surface, it has a drawback.
It is cheap to produce, but the maintenance cost is extremely high.
After using it for a while, the cost of each maintenance is basically equivalent to buying a new one.
