"Why not? Didn't Qian Chengxue also pilot a mecha to conduct reconnaissance?"
Su Mo replied in confusion.
"Master Su Mo, please listen to me. Master Qian Chengxue's machine is a endurance type. Her mecha body is a flying insect with wings on the back. Its flight mainly relies on biological wings, which consumes a lot of energy.
Low. Yours is different. It is a pure combat type, and it is also heavy-duty. It flies with all back propulsion devices, which consumes very serious energy. Let me tell you intuitively, Qiancheng Xue’s flying machine
There have been no major problems for a year. The most important thing is that she is performing the tasks assigned by the GT department. Sir, you are not performing special tasks now."
Obik bit the bullet and explained to Su Mo.
"Then the battery life of my machine is too short, so I only used it to escort and fight once. After almost a month of reconnaissance, it ran out of energy. The built-in energy is not enough!"
Su Mo frowned slightly and replied.
"Master Su Mo, you can't think like that. How big is your mecha? How many tons does it weigh? How much energy does it take to move? It's good if it can keep you moving for more than a month. Take a closer look at Thuris and the others.
, who is running around with an IV-generation mecha like this? Under normal circumstances, unless it is a last resort, you would never use an IV-generation mecha, let alone use it for investigation."
Obike explained to Su Mo carefully.
"Okay, I understand, but now that there is no energy, it will have to be replaced eventually."
Su Mo replied helplessly.
Obik said to Su Mo with a grimace: "Sir Su Mo, let me tell you this, each IV generation mecha in the GT department is only equipped with a set of spare nuclear fuel rods, which will be gone when used up. And even if
Replacement of spare fuel rods normally requires a written application, and there must be a formal reason before it can be replaced, and it cannot be done just because you want to."
"No, you still have to apply for a different energy source? Isn't this too much to make a fuss about?"
"What Master Su Mo said is wrong. Replacing the nuclear fuel rods of the IV generation biological mecha is not a trivial matter. That is to say, you are special. The mecha is your own. Master Spade has specifically explained that about you.
I turned a blind eye to the matter, and approved everything that could be approved, so I didn’t ask you to write those cumbersome application forms. Otherwise, it would be normal. Lord Wenrose and others would have to apply if they want to use the iv-generation mecha once.
, How can I be like you, just drive out if you want. If someone else comes to replace the spare fuel rods like this, it is not for official reasons, and without a written application explanation, there is no chance of replacing it. "
Obik explained the powerful relationship bit by bit.
"Okay, I understand, then please help me replace the spare set, but can you replace it with a better set of fuel rods, at least to last a little longer."
Su Mo said with a little headache.
"Sir Su Mo, you don't have to doubt me. I definitely didn't use inferior quality ones for you. The nuclear fuel rods we use now are ten in a set, and they are all produced by the Calcario Company of Country O, type HG-01.
The quality of nuclear fuel rods is up to standard, but it’s not like there are no good nuclear fuel rods.”
Obik's eyes suddenly lit up and he said.
"Oh, what other types of nuclear fuel rods"
Su Mo asked curiously.
"There are also two models. One is the nuclear fuel rod obtained from the Batak planet and the fortress of the Solstice planet. The quality of the nuclear fuel contained in it is also very good. The endurance is the hgs-01 nuclear fuel rod produced by Calcallo Company.
2 times of that. There is also the iv generation nuclear fuel rod purchased from Star Ring City, which has a battery life of 3 times that of the basic model. And using the latter two nuclear fuel rods, there is another advantage, that is, the iv generation mecha will get
With power support, performance will be improved.”
Obik changed his previous bitter look and introduced to Su Mo expectantly.
"Then change it to the best one."
Su Mo's eyes lit up and he said.
"Master Su Mo, do you need to pay for this out of your own pocket? Do you pay by credit card or by exchanging star coins?"
Obik said excitedly.
"Ah, shouldn't the GT department be responsible for this?"
Su Mo was a little confused when he heard Obik's words.
"Master Su Mo, did the GT department not send you a rule manual? Then let me explain it to you. If you are lost in battle on duty, let alone replace the backup energy source, even if the mecha is seriously damaged or something, we will all
It’s free for you, and the federal government will cover the cost. But since it’s for private use, the nature is different. Let me tell you this, any non-essential modifications and replacement of parts for mecha projects will have to be paid for by you.
Money is the same no matter who it is."
"How much is that?"
Su Mo asked with a headache.
"The price of a set of nuclear fuel rods produced by Calcallo himself is 1 million star coins, 3 million star coins are collected from the ruins, and 5 million star coins are purchased from the Star Ring City."
Obik explained with a smile on his face.
When Su Mo heard the price, he was stunned. It was like a bolt from the blue. Only then did he realize the seriousness of the matter.
"So expensive! You didn't cheat on me, did you?"
"How dare I cheat on you? These are all standard prices. If you don't believe me, just look at it."
Obik clicked on the tablet in his hand a few times, called up the inventory and price list, and showed it to Su Mo.
Su Mo looked at the zeros displayed on it and was speechless.
He suddenly felt his heart aching, feeling that flying in an IV-generation mecha was no different than burning money. The money he had earned from working so hard so far was probably not as expensive as the fuel he had consumed.
"It's too expensive. Who can afford it? I don't earn enough to pay for it."
"Sir Su Mo, I told you, no one uses IV-generation mechas to investigate and wander around. The maintenance cost of IV-generation mechas is extremely expensive."
Obik said earnestly.
Su Mo took a deep breath. He finally understood why the Federation only had these IV-generation mechas.
Who can afford such a high cost?
The truth is, it doesn’t feel bad if you don’t pay for it yourself, but when it’s your turn to pay for it, you will know how uncomfortable it is.
"Obik, let me ask you something. If my backup energy source runs out, will I have to pay for it myself?"
Su Mo asked.
"Yes, and Mr. Su Mo, you'd better not mess around. If there is an emergency mission that requires you to go out, and your mecha has no energy, we will install fuel rods for you in an emergency. But you will face problems afterwards.
Severe fines will be imposed, and penalties will be imposed, which will make the gains outweigh the losses."
Obik hurriedly made it clear to Su Mo to prevent this guy from getting too hot-headed and getting stuck.
"It's so expensive, who can afford it?"
Su Mo was also a little bit dumbfounded.
"Sir Su Mo, you are wrong to say that. Lord Thulis and others have many consumption and payment items. But they do not pay for it themselves, but those behind them who support their plutocrats and capital. Of course, this is not free.
This is why Lord Thulis and others also want to do something to repay them."
Obik said with a smile. Of course, when he said this, it was more or less a reminder.
