In the end, Qu Jianlei did not agree to purchase 240 million computing units, which was simply impossible.
The 240 million computing unit group is not the largest. Through series and parallel connections, a larger computing and control system can be formed.
However, this is already a semi-fixed computing module.
It is bulky, has high energy consumption, requires high heat dissipation, and is not suitable for frequent movement and transportation.
But Qu Jianlei doesn't think that Niaoming Stream is a suitable place for long-term living.
The natural environment here is good, it is located in the central star of the Sky Hook Starfield, and there is a partner like Lai Yin, so the conditions are not bad.
But the problem is that the news of their settlement spread and attracted the attention of many parties.
This seriously deviates from Qu Jianlei's original intention of developing in a low-key manner. He is very repulsive to other people's attention, which makes him feel unnatural.
And his experience in the empire proves that this kind of concern often leads to situations becoming uncontrollable.
So what if Haiyin is from a family of earls? There are also marquis, dukes and empires above earls.
So what if Lai Yin has his back to the Supreme Being? Qu Jianlei was also rounded up on the Half Star Island in the High Definition Arc.
So it feels very irresponsible to put a huge computing unit here.
Not only is it difficult to move, the key point is that even if you want to install it on a starship, the space and energy supply of the starship are not enough.
Under his persuasion, Xiaohu finally reluctantly agreed to buy a set of 80 million computing units.
Lai Yin finally used her local influence and succeeded in getting Sihai Creation to get a 20% discount.
Sihai is the largest supplier of similar equipment in this star area and is a unique company.
However, there are many similar suppliers in the empire, many of which are larger than Sihai.
Sihai's ability to gain a firm foothold in the Skyhook Star Territory has a lot to do with their attention.
Local companies not only have geographical advantages, but also have intricate network of relationships. In addition, they have been working hard for many years, which has led to the current situation.
Lai Yin told the other party very straightforwardly that if the quality was not high enough and the price was low, she would not mind introducing equipment from other suppliers.
You know, when Sihai Creation delivered the Qu Jianlei computing unit, someone threatened to use after-sales services.
The matter was settled in Lai Yin in the end, but that doesn't mean that the old talk can't be brought up again.
For Sihai, an order of 80 million is definitely the largest order in recent years, let alone the orderer is the Haiyin family.
This kind of order from Earl's Palace has a very obvious benchmarking significance, and the profits earned are second to none.
Once such an order is stolen by another party, the consequences will be much more serious than losing 18 million.
So in the end, Qu Jianlei spent 64 million to acquire this group of computing units.
Of course, Xiaohu couldn't help but think about it for a while, saying that if he bought a unit worth 240 million, he could save nearly 50 million.
But Qu Jianlei ignored it and asked confidently, "At least the delivery time is fast enough, isn't it?"
This time, Sihai Creation really tried its best and delivered the goods in only eighteen days.
When the computing unit group arrived, Qu Jianlei and his party had been at Niaoming Stream for fifty days.
Another forty days passed, and on the ninetieth day, he simply put away the spirit gathering array regardless of the paranoia's reluctance.
However, the paranoid man did not dwell too much on it. It was obvious that he knew very well that the half-block formation was not done properly.
After these three months of adjustments, his body fit has been greatly improved, and at least any movement he makes does not feel out of place.
It's just that some relatively complex expressions still can't be done well.
He felt somewhat regretful about this, and felt that if there was such a long fusion time at the beginning of the seizure, the effect would be much better.
Qu Jianlei pretended not to have heard these words - a disdainful eye roll was enough to express his mood.
The paranoid also knew that he had no right to complain, so he took the initiative to ask, "While they are practicing, why don't you go find the half piece?"
Qu Jianlei shook his head, "Don't worry, wait until I advance to A level."
Since you have chosen to help your family protect the Dharma, you must do it right.
The A-level Xiangxue has a water attribute, so her defense and attack capabilities are relatively weak.
After all, Qu Jianlei's opinion of his own physique...ah, the key is that there are still enemies like the Norton family, right?
When the paranoid heard this, he sighed helplessly and said to himself that while waiting for that guy to reach the next level, I can still improve my compatibility!
But just think about this and never say it out loud, otherwise you will be humiliating yourself.
But the good thing is that what this Rhodiola guy is doing is not hidden from him.
Then he was surprised to discover another thing, "You actually brought an ordinary Qi gathering array?"
Qu Jianlei didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but finally said, "This is a rigid need. Even if you don't use it, I will still use it."
The paranoid was silent for a moment, and finally sighed, "I also have some research experience on that formation of mine... Do you want it?"
What is your research experience? The corner of Qu Jianlei's mouth twitched. You can't even understand the word teleportation array, so why are you talking about your research experience?
But in the end, he nodded slightly and said, "It's just a mouthful."
The reluctance he showed made the paranoid roll his eyes, "You really have confidence in yourself!"
Qu Jianlei glanced at him and said, "If nothing else, I can keep this thing in my hands for twenty years. I can at least find out the principle."
The paranoid man's mouth moved but he didn't make a sound. After a long time, he hummed softly, "How about I go find my other half alone?"
Of course Qu Jianlei didn't want to let him go - who knows if this guy had any back-ups.
But if you don't agree, it seems that you are a little afraid of things, "We may leave at any time, and we won't be waiting for you then."
——If you don’t take the Spirit Gathering Array to heart, you can leave or stay as long as you want. Anyway, the half of the Teleportation Array will not be returned to you for the time being.
The paranoid man naturally knew what the other party was up to, so he could only snort angrily, "Then I'd better study your improved Qi gathering array."
Since the other party refuses to be accommodating, and my future cultivation and advancement cannot be separated from the Spirit Gathering Array, I can only find something to do.
Another half month passed, and Bentley still showed no sign of improvement.
Qu Jianlei was a little confused. Is it so difficult to advance from level B to level A?
When he advanced to the highest level, it didn't take him so long. Could it be because he was too old?
Just as he was thinking about it, Xiangxue called him on the phone, "Lai Yin is here, do you want to see her?"
"She's here?" Qu Jianlei was a little surprised. Recently, he had been in contact with Lai Yin more, but all through his watch.
This time she came in person, presumably because of something, "Let her come in."
When Lai Yin saw him, she handed over a box without saying a word, "Here is the rent of 10 million banknotes. I will refund it to you."
"Huh?" Qu Jianlei raised his eyebrows and didn't rush to answer, let alone speak. He just looked at her doubtfully.
It has been almost two months since I got the regular version of the Qi Gathering Array. All the data has been implemented and a lot of related tests have been done.
It was not impossible for the other party to take away the formation. He just wanted to hear the reason.
However, what Lai Yin said was beyond his expectation, "When I asked someone to help me identify it, some news leaked out. This is my apology."
"The news was leaked..." Qu Jianlei was stunned for a moment, but he was not too surprised. Who told Lai Yin that he didn't understand the formation?
In the process of looking for help, information is accidentally leaked. This kind of thing is really difficult to prevent.
So he just asked indifferently, "Is the spread of news controllable?"
If only a very few people knew about it, it would not be difficult for them to silence them.
Lai Yin hesitated and said, "The other party only disclosed it to one Supreme Being, and that Supreme Being is also studying improvements to the Qi Gathering Array."
"Tsk," Qu Jianlei understood immediately upon hearing this. Since there was such a connection, it would be hard for him to attack the Supreme Being directly.
After all, they are friends. Thinking of this, he asked again, "How is that person's reputation?"
If the reputation is not good, there is no guilt in just killing it.
Lai Yin could guess the purpose of his question - he didn't ask about anything else, just about word of mouth, obviously he wanted to take action.
She shook her head, "I found a supreme expert, and he happened to know someone who studies this, and he accidentally let it slip."
Is this okay? Qu Jianlei was a little speechless. Then I have to kill two supremes?
And the former one sounds like Lai Yin is more trustworthy!
But vaguely, he felt that there seemed to be other involvements in this matter, "What is the name of the Zhigao behind?"
Lai Yin shook his head, "It's not convenient for me to call him by his first name, but he shouldn't be a troublesome person."
Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes and asked, "Is this Supreme Being male or female?"
"Female," Lai Yin replied without hesitation, "is a senior that I respect very much, and she is now at her peak."
"Women, the highest peak..." Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes again, "Is it Qing Hu?"
There are dozens of supremes in the Skyhook Star Territory, but there are not many that meet these two characteristics.
"This is what you guessed, my lord, not what I said," Lai Yin laughed when he heard the words, "It's her."
"This person..." Qu Jianlei pondered before speaking, "Didn't she encounter some trouble a while ago?"
"It's not that much trouble," Lai Yin replied disapprovingly, "It's just some guys who are greedy for profit and want to take advantage of it by force."
This was the first time Qu Jianlei heard news about her after leaving Qinghu, and it was not him who inquired about her, but the other party took the initiative to tell her.
So he spoke with great interest, "Oh? You dare to rob her by force? Come and listen to me?"
"It's of this nature anyway," Lai Yin didn't want to say more about the matter. "It involves many supreme beings, so I can't just talk about it casually."
Qu Jianlei thought about it and nodded slightly, "That's fine, but you take the rent and it's for next year."
He was already very happy knowing that Qing Hu was safe and sound, so why would he accept Lai Yin's apology?
If she has such a heart, even if she is particular about it, he is willing to give benefits to such a person.
And just in case he wants to do a few more tests at the end of the year, it will come in handy.
