Shi Tingfen looked at the base built inside the meteorite in surprise. It was a base shared by the mercenary group and the factory.
In addition to seeing many staff members repairing battleships and MS, we also saw many battleships and transport ships coming in and out.
The factory found that many manufacturing machines and instruments are fully automatic and completely controlled by a system, and the staff are only responsible for adjusting and handling some details.
After observing for a while, Shi Tingfen asked Long Fei, "Old classmate, the manufacturing machines and control systems in your base factory, as well as these warships and MS, weren't they all designed and manufactured by you?"
"Yes, I made them all by myself."
"Hey, hey, hey, old classmate, you are so scary."
Shi Tingfen suddenly remembered that when she was studying, this old classmate of hers often participated in some machine competitions or software control competitions. Not only did he win the championship every time, but many companies even wanted to buy these technologies from him. However, the old classmate unilaterally refused and directly gave all the technologies to his three sisters' companies.
Although he was not familiar with military matters, he saw that the standard equipment used by his old classmate's mercenary group was much more advanced than that of his own country's army.
Sakqi came in front of Long Fei.
Long Fei introduced the two women to each other.
Shi Tingfen asked Long Fei: "Old comrade... no, boss, can I stay here to work? I don't want to be transferred to work somewhere else."
"Okay, Sakki, you can arrange it."
"No problem, boss."
After Long Fei watched the two women leave the scene, he went to the Gundam manufacturing workshop alone.
Long Fei looked at the Death Gundam and Thunderbolt Gundam that were still semi-finished products, as well as the Aegis Gundam, Heavy Gunner Gundam and Storm Gundam whose production was delayed.
Factory Manager Simmons came to Long Fei and said, "Boss, the scheduled time for manufacturing these Gundams may be delayed."
“Didn’t Sakqi allocate funds to you these days?”
"The money was allocated yesterday, but it may take some time to purchase the materials because some materials cannot be purchased openly and must be purchased on the black market. All of this takes time."
"Yeah, I understand that."
"And boss, the Death Gundam you developed is coated with a special paint to reduce radar reflection waves. This special paint will take some time. As for the interference generator equipped on the fuselage, as long as we get some materials, we can complete the manufacturing."
"Well, what else?"
"The Thunderbolt Gundam's mirage device may be successfully manufactured in the next few days, and then it can be put into testing."
"Okay, I understand."
"Boss, can I ask you a question?"
"Ask?"
"Both the Death Gundam and the Thunderbolt Gundam seem to be MSs that use sneak attack tactics. Why do the two Gundams use different technologies and devices?"
"So which of these two device technologies do you think is better?"
"Well..." Simmons scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "I don't know."
"I don't know either. Which of the two technologies is better? Only actual combat can verify it."
"That's right. We, the staff, just need to do our job well. Whether it can be used or not will be left to the front-line personnel to verify."
Long Fei looked at the two Gundams, the Death and the Thunderbolt, which were being manufactured during the restoration process.
In recent years, the arms sold by Tianyi Arms Manufacturing Company have been in short supply and have made huge profits. It is no problem for them to manufacture 1 or 2 units every month.
However, recently, Long Fei got carried away and directly manufactured and developed nearly 10 Gundams, which put Tianyi Arms Manufacturing Company in a difficult position and would cause the company to lose all its business for several months.
By then, the employees’ salaries could not be paid, so Sakki simply refused to increase investment and maintain the monthly allocation, otherwise he would resign.
Fortunately, Yue Yangchun's target of revenge, the Xieya Pirates, came in time of help. They collected a lot of money and supplies, which solved the dilemma for Tianyi Arms Manufacturing Company.
Otherwise, Sakqi would be angry with the boss Long Fei, and how would he explain to the employees if he couldn't pay their salaries?
Long Fei was thinking, should the Tianyi Mercenary Group also have to invest a portion of the money invested in manufacturing the Gundam in the future?
The Tianyi Mercenary Group's business was pretty good and they made a lot of money. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were making a fortune every day.
Long Fei returned to his office and called Li Jiaming to his office to discuss the matter with him.
Li Jiaming did not have any objection, and he felt that Tianyi Arms Manufacturing Company should not continue to invest this money. All the Gundams were used by the Tianyi Mercenary Group, and none of the manufactured Gundams were sold. Investing money in the bottomless pit of the Gundam project was indeed unfair to the Tianyi Arms Manufacturing Company. Li Jiaming felt that the Tianyi Mercenary Group should indeed invest money in it.
"Will this affect your production of other battleships, MS and other weapons?"
"That won't happen."
"That's good. I don't want to end up with something that is not connected."
Li Jiaming thought to himself: "Boss, I hope you won't act rashly and ask us to invest a lot of money in this project." Although Li Jiaming said this in his heart, he didn't dare to say it out loud for fear of offending his boss.
Because no matter which Gundam the boss made, he would be the first to go test it. He could see that the boss had a special preference for the Gundam he designed.
Although the money invested in developing and manufacturing the Gundam is a bottomless pit, it cannot be denied that the Gundam can greatly enhance the advantage on the battlefield.
Although it is very expensive, Li Jiaming is also very supportive and wants to produce as many Gundams as possible.
Li Jiaming reported important things to Long Fei at this time: "By the way, boss, there is something I want to report to you in person."
"What is it?"
"It's like this, Boss. We have a fleet that once completed an escort mission and on the way back to the mother base, we accidentally discovered that a spaceship had landed on a huge meteorite."
"What's so special about this spacecraft?"
"What's special is that the spacecraft looks very old. When our personnel entered to investigate, they found that the equipment inside the ship was also very old. It looked like the technology was at least 60 or 70 years old. Then our personnel conducted a deeper investigation and found that the people inside the ship had died a long time ago, and the space suits they were wearing were also designed 60 or 70 years ago."
When Long Fei heard this, he became very curious and continued to listen to the commander-in-chief's report.
"And all the deaths on the ship have been investigated. Some committed suicide collectively, and some committed suicide in their own rooms. Every dead crew member had a gun next to him, and each gun was missing a bullet."
Long Fei was very curious and asked, "Why did they commit suicide?"
"After investigation, we found that their spacecraft had an accident and the engine exploded, making it impossible to return or reach the rescue site. What's worse is that when the spacecraft was drifting, it hit the meteorite. With no help available, the crew committed suicide out of despair."
"Didn't they send out a distress signal?"
"After investigation, it was found that they did send out a distress signal using the backup power supply after the engine exploded. However, the spacecraft was drifting while sending out the distress signal. When the last power supply ran out and the last distress signal was sent out, the distance to the meteorite that finally hit was calculated to be at least 500,000 km. It is estimated that the search and rescue team failed at that time."
After hearing this, Long Fei closed his eyes, thought for a while, and then asked Li Jiaming: "Commander-in-Chief, you just said that the spaceship was very old. Where do you think the old spaceship was originally heading? Where did they come from?"
"According to our investigation, they are from Jupiter."
"Jupiter!" Long Fei jumped up directly. In the past, many people went to Jupiter to develop, but it has been more than 50 years since there was no connection with the colonial circle and the earth circle. No one knows how Jupiter has developed.
"So Commander-in-Chief, did you find anything else when you were investigating that spaceship?"
"Yes, we found a lot of containers loaded with metals in the spaceship. After investigation, we found that these metals did not come from the Earth Sphere or the Colonial Sphere. They can be said to be unknown metals."
"So, Commander-in-Chief, how did you handle it?"
"At present, I have sent some people to stay behind and also sent a crisis investigation team to continue the in-depth investigation to avoid any danger."
"Commander-in-Chief, please make the arrangements. I will go and investigate it myself."
"Boss, this is very dangerous, let's wait..."
Before Li Jiaming finished speaking, Long Fei raised his hand to stop him: "Commander-in-Chief, I have made up my mind. No need to say more. Arrange it immediately."
"Yes, boss."
I have a high fever recently, and there will be an update before about 11 o'clock today.
