Chapter 697 The Strange Zhang Family, the First Teacher!
breakfast time.
Deciding to create a wearable armor that only existed in human imagination, Sumo planned not to hide it 100%.
The main components of the armor can indeed be upgraded and transformed through the survival points that have been saved to nearly 50,000 points.
But those basic materials are still far from enough in terms of the current inventory.
It is necessary to go through Zhang Min and carry out several more acquisitions to meet the needs.
So at the breakfast meeting, after hearing that Zhang Min was consulting everyone for their opinions, Su Mo stood up and suggested:
"Shopkeeper Zhang, from yesterday to today, I saw that no one from our Liangfang came to consult at all. This is not a good sign. Although we want to hide the development progress, these people have signed labor contracts with Qiankun Grain Bank. The contract would be troublesome.”
"In addition, I heard that Qiankun Grain Store will hold a summer harvest warm-up meeting in seven days, so we must rush to this time point and at least come up with something real to prevent these migrant workers from completely falling into the trap. The only place to go is Qiankun Food Store.”
Considering that many of the materials collected next have nothing to do with the energy stone tools that everyone wants to make.
In order for the plan to go smoothly, Sumo could only start to show some of his talents and start "talking on paper" at meetings.
"Taking these points together, if you can provide me with another batch of materials for me to research, maybe I will be able to come up with a decent tool in seven days!"
Draw a pie.
Zhang Min didn't eat. He just glanced at the expressions on other people's faces and refused: "Mr. Su, the total budget of other people to buy tools and materials is only 5,000 points, but since you came in until now, , I spent 50,000 points just for the machine and advance materials, which is not a small amount of money. Also, Qiankun Food Co., Ltd. worked with Zero Manufacturing for half a year to develop these capabilities. If you want to make stone tools of the same level within seven days, with all due respect, based on the ability you have shown before, it is hard for me to believe that you have this strength."
"Then we can't sit still and wait for death. The knife of Qiankun Food Store is about to be handed to the neck. If we want to win this battle, we have no time, so we must increase the budget!"
Concern leads to chaos. After saying this, Somo felt something was wrong.
Although his words highlighted the current urgency, they unknowingly put several other "freeloaders" into an embarrassing situation.
Sure enough, when I turned around, I saw that the eyes of the four people who were hugging each other were as wide as copper bells, and they were spraying anger outwards.
If Zhang Min wasn't still standing here now, I'm afraid they would have gathered together and wanted to have a real PK.
However, it is somewhat surprising.
In the silence, Zhang Bowen, who had never spoken a word, suddenly stood up and spoke out to save the situation:
"Sister, I think what Mr. Su said makes sense. We really don't have time now. It makes sense to use the budget to offset the time. After all, a large number of experiments will definitely mean a large consumption of materials."
"I saw Mr. Su using the micro development platform yesterday. With his proficiency, I think we can give him a chance."
"Huh? So it's him?"
After glancing at Zhang Bowen gratefully and realizing that the firepower had been diverted, Su Mo took advantage of the situation and sat down again.
Yesterday when he was installing and debugging the micro development platform, Sumo kept feeling like someone was looking at him outside the window.
At that time, Sumo didn't pay much attention to the sight, only thinking that it was Sun Quan or Zhang Min who was out investigating.
And what he does is the most basic and skilled development platform, so he is naturally not afraid of anyone peeping.
But now it seems that this line of sight is not the two people guessed, but Zhang Min's younger brother Zhang Bowen.
"Huh? Since you said so in the blog post, that's fine."
"Mr. Su, my brother is about to take the Territorial Academy of Science exam this year. Since you are confident that you can make a decent tool within seven days, will it not affect his study by taking him beside you?"
"Learn from me?" Sumo was startled when he heard this strange request, and then nodded without thinking much about it:
"It's possible, but I want to develop tools and I still need a certain amount of alone time to think every day."
"That's okay. I'll let Bowen study with you from two to six in the afternoon. You can spend the rest of the time freely!"
As the current shopkeeper of Zizailiangfang, Zhang Min immediately made a decision with a smile before the others could react.
And this kind of preferential treatment made the four people who gathered together instantly become jealous.
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense again, Zhang Min turned around, revealing the majesty of the shopkeeper.
"If everyone has finished eating, let's go develop it first."
"I have a few more words to give to Mr. Su alone."
At this time, although several other people wanted to say something, in the end, they could only leave one after another.
After a while, she, Su Mo, and Zhang Bowen were the only three people left in the field.
"Mr. Su, you know what it will be like if you can be admitted to our territorial academy of sciences. My brother is talented. Please give me your patience and give me some advice."
"Okay, I will do my best!"
Compared with the previous indifference, Zhang Min is now enthusiastic again, which makes people a little confused.
Even when Su Mo handed her the newly added 40,000 points of materials, Zhang Min just frowned slightly and agreed readily:
"Forty thousand points? Okay, I will send someone to get it for you as soon as possible!"
That afternoon, in order to show his sincerity, Zhang Min sent Zhang Bowen to the workshop and said that he would go to the city to buy materials in person.
Although Su Mo felt a little strange about this, he could only pretend to be blind for the time being and pretend that everything had nothing to do with him.
"What do you want to learn?"
Looking at Zhang Bowen sitting next to him with a curious face, Su Mo smiled, and his heart was quite uneasy.
Whether it is martial arts or science.
They all pay attention to inheritance.
The old passes on to the young, and the old passes on to the new.
Su Mo thought that his first disciple would definitely be selected again and again in the territory before choosing a genius to teach.
But now, the appearance of Zhang Bowen has allowed him to enjoy the feeling of inheritance in advance.
"Mr. Su"
"Call me Brother Su"
"Okay, Brother Su, I saw you yesterday... I know you are definitely not as simple as what is written on your resume, nor what my sister thinks. I want to learn electrical appliance manufacturing!"
Gritting his teeth, looking at the kind-faced Su Mo, Zhang Bowen mustered up the courage to finish a whole sentence.
This performance did not show the firm look when he was out of trouble in the morning.
"Electrical appliance manufacturing, why do you want to learn this?"
When Su Mo heard that Zhang Bowen did not want to learn weapons manufacturing or high-tech product manufacturing, which were high-end things in the eyes of young people.
On the contrary, he wanted to learn electrical appliance manufacturing in a very simple way, and he immediately became interested.
"Yes, there is money to be made!"
"There are no big companies in the territory that are researching small and medium-sized electrical appliances, and there are few products exported from other territories. If I can learn to manufacture and develop corresponding product lines, I will definitely make money!"
"Puff!"
Zhang Bowen's thoughts are indeed consistent with his age of just over 18 years old, a little naive.
When Su Mo heard that he wanted to make money from small appliances, he almost spit out the water he had just drunk.
"Bowen, have you ever thought about why other big companies don't make small appliances?"
"Because the profit is not enough?"
"No, because no one can afford it!"
Seeing that Zhang Bowen was born in such a merchant family, his ideas are the same as most technical and engineering men.
Pulling a piece of white paper, Su Mo picked up a pen and quickly drew a simple circuit diagram on it, marking the name of each component.
"This is the circuit structure of an electric rice cooker, and the material requirements"
"Here is the price list of materials your sister gave me"
"You calculate accordingly and see how much money is needed to manufacture such an electric rice cooker!"
"Okay!"
Taking the price list and the white paper, Zhang Bowen began to sit at the table and calculate patiently.
Seeing his serious performance, Su Mo was slightly relieved.
The child is a little stupid, but not completely hopeless.
Zhang Bowen is now eighteen years old. Calculating forward, that means he will be born in the last day about five years.
At that time, the Zhang family had just opened this Zizailiangfang, and their lives began to flourish.
Having never felt the despair of the wasteland at the beginning, it is no wonder that Zhang Bowen can still remain so simple.
After a moment, after checking and calculating twice, Zhang Bowen raised his head in disbelief:
"Is a rice cooker so expensive?"
On the white paper, the 390 points on the far left are the numbers added by Zhang Bowen.
Obviously, the price is more than ten times different from the price he made up in his mind.
"On Earth, when we make rice cookers, there are manufacturers providing the shell, the inner tank, and the control circuit board. We have a huge demand scale and industrial scale, which makes the prices of these things look very low"
"But in the wasteland, let alone how you integrate these upstream and downstream industrial chains and how to sell the rice cookers you make, just finding raw materials is a considerable expense"
The dream of getting rich of the simple boy was shattered, and Su Mo laughed a little unscrupulously.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Bowen accepted it very quickly. After being depressed for a while, he cheered up again.
Looking at Su Mo, whose face was a little sallow, he said solemnly:
"Brother Su, what do you think I should learn now to get into the Territory Academy of Sciences?"
"Get into the Academy of Sciences?"
Su Mo had heard about the Territory Academy of Sciences these days.
Whether it was the micro development platform he was using now, or the various black technologies that benefited the territory.
They were basically made by this mysterious organization.
In the outside world's perception, being able to enter this organization naturally means embarking on a path of rapid success.
"To get into the Academy of Sciences, you have to pass the three major items of basic circuit examination, basic physics examination, and basic chemistry examination"
"At the same time, you have to personally make a technological item in front of the examiner within six hours as an important weighted equalization item"
"I can teach you to make things, but the exam"
The difficulty of the three basic examinations is basically around the level of ordinary college graduates.
At that time, after hearing the news, Su Mo thought about taking the exam himself to see if he could join.
But later, after learning that the maximum age limit was no more than 20 years old, he gave up the idea.
Of course, it would be difficult to learn all three at the age of 20.
But fortunately, this thing does not set a passing line, it is only used for scores.
As long as the three scores are added up and multiplied by the weighted coefficient of the items behind, the final score will be in the top 60, and you can enter the Academy of Sciences.
"Brother Su, I have no problem with the exam, as long as you can teach me to make a high-coefficient weighted item!"
After being hit, Zhang Bowen still looks full of motivation.
Su Mo pondered this look for a while, and suddenly a light bulb flashed in his mind.
Why not teach Zhang Bowen and let him make the energy stone tools himself.
When he was not here in the morning, he was fully committed to developing portable armor.
When he came in the afternoon, he would give him the energy stone tool design step by step and try to make it.
In this way, both teaching can be completed and the kindness of these tool materials can be repaid without delaying anything.
After making up his mind, Su Mo said loudly: "Okay, you will learn some basic operation techniques from me this afternoon. I will give you a place tomorrow, and I will teach you how to do it."
"Okay!"
Apart from other things, Zhang Bowen's attitude will definitely satisfy any teacher.
And for the whole afternoon, while Su Mo was teaching, Zhang Bowen's mother Ju Yunxiang also took the time to come.
Seeing that her son was fascinated by Su Mo, she nodded with satisfaction:
"Young man, work hard, we will not treat you unfairly in Zizailiangfang"
"Wait until we get through this difficult time, and then I will make the decision and let the old man hire you as a lifetime employee!"
"Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely teach Bowen well."
The Zhang family had an unusually calm attitude.
It was hard to tell that Zizailiangfang was now at a critical juncture of life and death.
But with people monitoring outside, Su Mo's own situation was not much better, so he naturally had no intention of worrying about these things.
Six o'clock in the afternoon.
After assigning homework to Zhang Bowen, Su Mo finally had time to focus on researching armor manufacturing after he left.
Shell material.
On the material list for Zhang Min, Su Mo finally selected the third-level flexible alloy as the main material.
This material is not cheap, and the price of one kilogram is 6,000 points. According to the preliminary calculation of five kilograms, it directly costs 30,000 points.
But corresponding to the high price is its excellent performance of being able to withstand the impact of large-caliber bullets in a short time and assist in absorbing part of the kinetic energy.
Just add a layer of replaceable energy-breaking plate inside to solve the threat of long-range shooting to a certain extent.
Weapon selection.
Based on the current control of armed equipment in the territory, Su Mo finally finalized the three-step weapon plan.
First, add two medium-caliber rifles and develop a corresponding module that can automatically change bullets.
Second, add a high-pressure gun that can spray smoke to hide the body for a short time.
Third, add a high-strength cutting knife, which can use the compression property of the energy stone to spray plasma beams in a short time and cut any object with a strength lower than the seventh-level alloy.
These three weapons are cheap and can basically cope with the current situation.
As for the extra ones, it is not too late to find a way to add parts when there is money or new technology.
In terms of power.
It is impossible to build a flying Mark armor like Iron Man at present due to various constraints.
But it is not difficult to have strong mobility on land.
Just add two power output ports to the back and two more to the legs, and you can basically move around in a small range.
"Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing"
"Tonight, work overtime to get a design drawing and see if the system can be upgraded!"
Outside the room, there is a shadowy monitor.
Going home is not as safe as sitting in this room and working overtime.
After calling an idle servant from Liangfang to deliver a message to Huang Xiaojuan, Su Mo returned to the workshop and locked the door.
And when he sat down, even Su Mo himself did not realize.
What a terrible impact all he was going to do would have in the future!
