081. The first and second machines (seeking follow-up reading)
"You really don't want to answer?" General Ross said slowly.
"That's right, I won't answer!"
After speaking, Russell hung up the phone directly.
Although this would dissatisfy General Ross, he was not worried at all.
If General Ross really doesn't intend to fulfill his promise because of this, then he doesn't mind letting General Ross know why he is called a crazy traveler.
After hanging up the phone, he continued his previous work.
After thinking for a while, he finally decided to give Bakshi a call.
Wool is a thing that can be harvested once and twice.
Although it's not good to catch a sheep all the time, Hydra is very wealthy and shouldn't mind this too much.
After receiving his call, Bakshi was stunned for a moment. After being silent for more than ten seconds, he slowly said: "Starting a military industrial enterprise is not a big problem."
Having said this, Bakshi paused.
"But it's not that easy to meet the requirements you just mentioned."
Although Bakshi said it very tactfully, his meaning was very obvious, that is, this matter was a bit difficult to handle.
Hydra does have some energy, but it is not so big that it can easily establish large-scale military industrial enterprises.
According to Russell's requirements, he wanted more than just an arms company with R&D and sales capabilities.
What he wants is an arms company with supporting production plants.
"I know this is not an easy thing. Otherwise, I wouldn't come here to find you."
"Don't worry, your efforts won't be in vain this time!"
"The price of the Zaku armor sold to the military is 120 million. If you want it, I can sell it to you at the cost price."
Although Hydra has many female assistants with blonde hair and black stockings in the laboratory, until now, these female assistants have not had access to any confidential information.
Currently, the only people in the laboratory who have access to the core data are Russell, Peter, and No. 3.
"What's the cost price?"
Bakshi was a little moved.
"Eighty million!"
After Russell finished speaking, Bakshi on the other end of the phone fell silent.
Eighty million?
If the cost of the Zaku Armor is 80 million, I will eat the Zaku Armor right away!
Although Bakshi is not a professional scientific researcher, he is sure of one thing, that is, the cost of the Zaku armor, which is priced at 120 million, is definitely less than 80 million.
If the cost is 80 million, Russell will never sell it for only 120 million!
"The price of 80 million is too high. It is difficult for me to convince the leader to give a more sincere price!"
Bakshi said slowly.
"Sixty million, this is the lowest price. If it's still too expensive, forget it and pretend I didn't make the call!"
"Sixty million...Okay, I'll tell the leader first, and I'll contact you after the results are available."
Although the reduction was only 20 million, Bakshi knew that this was almost the biggest concession Russell could give.
After hanging up the phone, Russell leaned back on his chair and looked up at the ceiling.
General Ross is responsible for orders and stations, and Hydra is responsible for the establishment of factories and companies.
This arrangement is perfect!
Although Hydra has not agreed to his conditions yet, he has already tacitly agreed that Hydra has agreed.
After handling these trivial matters, he came to the laboratory on the second floor.
As soon as he arrived at the laboratory, he saw No. 3 and Peter working hard.
He still has 4 Zaku armors that the military has yet to deliver.
Before the octopus arms company is established, No. 3 and Peter can only work hard.
After looking at the manufacturing progress of the armor, he first encouraged and praised Peter, and then took No. 3 to the office on the third floor.
When No. 3 closed the door to the office, he said to No. 3: "Can you use the spare fully intelligent liquid metal to make a second set of endosymbiosis armor?"
"Okay, just need to reprogram it!"
No. 3 replied quickly.
"Well, you use fully intelligent liquid metal to make an extra set of endosymbiotic armor as your daily body."
After speaking, Russell took out the silver-white container containing fully intelligent liquid metal from the system space.
"Let's start now!"
Russell said to No. 3.
No. 3 controlled the armor and nodded, arriving in front of the huge silver-white barrel. Tentacle-like data cables emerged from the fingertips of the armor's right hand and connected to the huge barrel.
While No. 3 was reprogramming the second set of endosymbiosis armor, Russell sat on the sofa and waited patiently.
Since he obtained the endosymbiotic suit, he has basically used the endosymbiotic suit except for flying around New York for a few times.
Although he does not need to fight in the endosymbiotic armor now, for him who does not have the ability to fly yet, the endosymbiotic armor can also be used as a means of transportation in addition to fighting.
It only took more than ten minutes to complete the programming on the 3rd.
Under Russell's gaze, a large ball of fully intelligent liquid metal flew out of the silver-white barrel.
After this liquid metal leaves the container, it begins to rapidly deform.
In just a few seconds, these liquid metals transformed into endosymbiotic armor.
Looking at the two sets of almost identical endosymbiosis armors in front of him, Russell pointed to the suit that had just successfully transformed and said to No. 3: "The new one is called Unit 2, and the one you are using now is called Unit 2.
Unit 1."
"You usually use Unit 2, and I'll use Unit 1!"
In order to easily distinguish these two sets of endosymbiotic armors, which are almost identical in appearance, Russell gave the two sets of endosymbiotic armors new serial numbers.
Endosymbiosis Unit 1, Endosymbiosis Unit 2!
good!
That’s it!
Although the appearance looks exactly the same, Unit 1 has some more functions than Unit 2.
Zaku form!
Unit No. 1 has the Zaku form that was added later.
"Okay, sir!"
No. 3 replied immediately without any hesitation.
While answering Russell, No. 3 began to transfer data and create a clone program.
The core program of No. 3 still remains on the No. 1 machine. After all, it is the supporting artificial intelligence of the endosymbiosis armor.
After completing the data transfer, No. 3 was about to control his new body No. 2 to leave the office when Russell's voice sounded again.
"No. 3, give Unit 2 a new paint job, with red as the main color. You decide the specific style yourself!"
"Okay, sir!"
Although No. 3 didn’t know why Russell wanted Unit 2 to be painted red, but since Russell ordered it, he would carry it out unconditionally.
When No. 3 left the office, Russell placed the silver-white vat containing fully intelligent liquid metal and Endosymbiosis Unit-1 back into the system space.
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, Saturday is here.
On this day, before Russell got up, he received a call from Tony.
"It's Saturday today, when will you come over?"
As soon as the call was connected, Russell heard Tony's undisguised excitement.
"It's only nine in the morning, don't be so anxious, I'll be there at twelve!"
