Chapter 8 The Copycat Reaper (Part 2)

That night, Wen Rou approached members of the Newman family and offered to buy their company. The Newman family thought it was just a joke at first and didn't care about Wenrou's suggestion of helping them get rid of the Hargraves family. After Rourou and Hong Lang joined forces to destroy an important stronghold of the Hargraves family in New York, the Newman family immediately changed their attitude and warmly welcomed Wenrou and others.

The acquisition of the Newman Brothers Company was quickly finalized. Since Shen Yi was in a hurry, the Newman family agreed to hand over the factory to them before all transfer procedures were completed.

Early the next morning, Shen Yi came to Newman Brothers Company early.

Newman Brothers is located in the suburbs of New York, covering an area of ​​about 80 acres, with more than 1,000 skilled workers and a large number of advanced production lines, including the most advanced KPX multi-functional CNC machine tools, which can be used for processing and producing various complex parts.

The reason why Shen Yi decided to buy this company was largely due to his liking for this machine tool.

Standing in front of this machine tool, Shen Yi tried it out, and it worked well. Shen Yi nodded in satisfaction: "When I was working in a German-owned company, the Germans regarded this kind of machine tool as their treasure, and they didn't even allow us to touch it. In order to be able to master the application of this kind of machine tool, I spent a lot of time I have put in a lot of hard work. I have to study hard every night, and when I have dinner with the Germans, I try my best to learn from their experience. Later, the Germans finally allowed me to try to use this machine tool. I still remember it When I used it to make system components that fully meet the standard requirements, the Germans looked at me in shock."

As Shen Yi said, he looked back at Wenrou: "No matter where we Chinese go, we are the best performers."

She smiled softly: "Okay, stop praising yourself. Tell me what else you need."

Shen Yi patted the machine tool lightly and said: "This machine tool is currently the most advanced in the world. With it, most problems can be solved. The biggest problem at present is still in the extraction of raw materials. The Reaper defense system is Made of high-density alloy, there is no special metal processing and refining machine here, we have to find another one."

"I'll check where there are good ones."

"You don't need to check. The Manhattan Heavy Industry Basic Materials Research Center has the best metal refiner in the world. The problem is that there are too few of them. If we get it over, it will be discovered by the US government within a day."

"Then what do you suggest?"

After thinking for a while, Shen Yi replied: "I'm afraid you have to go there. Find a way to complete a metal refining agreement with the people there, and try not to use force. After this trip, sooner or later we will own all kinds of equipment .”

"And what about the heavy artillery part?"

Shen Yi shook his head: "It involves a new type of weapon production line. For the time being, we don't have enough conditions to produce it, so we can only give up. But it doesn't matter. Heavy artillery is an external device. Even if there is no heavy artillery, other firepower equipment can be installed. Our current priority is to Have the reaper first, and then the rest can be supplemented and improved slowly. Don’t forget that this is a counterfeit version of the reaper, and we don’t need to follow the original version. Even if we can’t make high-density metal, at worst we can use ordinary steel plates. It also works. As long as you have a prototype, you can always improve it later.”

Wen Rou was stunned for a moment, Shen Yi's thinking was really wild and unconstrained, making it hard for anyone to catch up. Her beautiful eyes lingered on Shen Yi's face for a long time, and finally said softly: "Do you know what is the greatest strength of you as a person? All difficulties will become insignificant in your hands."

Said, the gentle red lips pressed lightly on Shen Yi's mouth.

Warm and sweet.

———————————

In the following time, Luo Hao continued to be responsible for supervising the processing tasks of other factories, Wen Rou was responsible for recruiting suitable managers for the company, and Hong Lang was responsible for the attack on the Hargraves family. Everyone has their own work, but no one is as busy as Shen Yi.

Shen Yi was completely soaked in the factory of Newman Brothers Company.

Components from other factories are sent here after processing. While Shen Yi was in charge of assembly, he was also responsible for the production and processing of the main system components, so he was very busy.

None of the factory workers are allowed to stay here, and each of them has ten days off with salary. Twenty soldiers from the airborne battalion and King Kong took the place of the workers to help Shen Yi.

With King Kong around, it is much easier and more convenient to complete many tasks, but seeing his own abilities used for work such as moving machinery and screwing, it always makes King Kong very uncomfortable.

In Nuoda's workshop, a behemoth is being gradually formed from scratch.

First a pair of huge iron feet, then a thick body, two thick arms...

The tens of meters long giant chain was installed in the hinge of the right arm. Shen Yi made some small changes to it, and installed a huge claw on its front end to make it have the ability to grab. It looks like a big anchor on an ocean-going ship.

Twelve gear pieces were also put into the body. Compared with the original gears, these gear pieces are thinner, smaller, more numerous, and more powerful.

The original cutter was abolished by Shen Yi, who converted it into a fuel injection pipe and made it into a flame launcher. The void originally used to store the Terminator was converted into a fuel tank, capable of supporting three hours of flame burning.

Finally, Shen Yi added a small hanging bin to the chest and abdomen of the reaper, which can be used for people to hide in it, or even shoot from the inside.

When the work was on the eighth day, the knockoff version of the Reaper finally took shape.

It is much smaller than the real reaper, without that mountain-like thick feeling, but it is more flexible in terms of movement, and it can barely fit into the space of the bloody coat of arms. However, considering other needs, Shen Yi still decided to take it apart and put it away.

That night, in the factory building.

Everyone gathered together to watch the reaper.

Manufacture is complete, now it's time for inspection.

"It looks good." Hong Lang looked at the big guy enviously: "Can it move?"

Shen Yi shrugged his shoulders, and took out the Reaper crystal: "You won't know until you put it in."

Putting the reaper crystals in, there was only a rumbling sound, the reaper's body shook a few times, and all the joints seemed to be creaking and making weird noises.

"It sounds like it's going to fall apart." Wen Rou wiped his sweat.

After working hard for so many days, wouldn't it be a piece of trash?

Shen Yi's expression was a bit awkward: "It's the first time to make, there will always be some problems. Maybe the running-in in some places is not very good."

Regarding the performance of the Reaper, Shen Yi was not surprised.

Making high-tech products has never been an easy task. Even if you have a full set of drawings, it doesn't mean you can succeed at one go. Just as planning and execution have always been two concepts.

High-tech products require two foundations of industry and technology. Shen Yi only owns one and walks with a limp. It is already a legend to be able to get to this point.

"Let it take a few steps." Hong Lang said at this moment.

Shen Yi issued an order.

After receiving the message, the reaper raised its right foot and took a step forward.

After taking this step, the reaper's body shook a few times, and even flung towards Shen Yi and the others with his unsteady footing, causing everyone to jump away in fright.

After hearing a loud bang, the Reaper slammed down heavily, making a huge pit on the ground.

Everyone had unbearable expressions on their faces.

"Shen Yi!" Hong Lang yelled: "Could it be that we have worked so hard for so many days just to get a pile of scrap iron?"

Shen Yi also frowned.

He stepped forward to check the Reaper: "It seems that there are some problems with the balance system, mainly because of the lack of precision. There is no major problem in the production itself."

After all, it is made up of parts from different manufacturers, even if a screw is substandard, it may cause the operation problem of the whole machine. The more high-tech products, the higher the requirements for precision.

Due to the time constraints of Shen Yi and the others, the product was directly produced without even the debugging period, and many inspection processes were completely omitted. Therefore, there were inevitably problems in the manufacturing process of this Harvester, and there were a lot of problems.

But Shen Yi didn't care about it.

He has his own solution.

Put your hand on the Reaper and activate the ability to activate.

The sound of the bloody coat of arms came from the ear: "C400 type reaper, technology level C. This reaper is made by adventurers themselves, and there are a lot of processing defects. This defect can be improved, and the improvement needs to consume all the current energy. Consume 1,000 blood points. In non-mission situations, you can use equipment of the same value to replace it. After the improvement is completed, the original model will be canceled and new data will be available. Are you sure about the improvement?"

"Damn it, I still need a thousand points... Make sure to improve."

A burst of red light came on, and the reaper made a rumbling sound, and finally stood up after a while.

This time, it stood extremely firmly.

"Self-made reaper robot, defense power 38, armor value 1300, main weapon system. 1: None. 2 Special superalloy steel cables. Auxiliary attack system: 1 flamethrower. 2 Catapult saw blade. 3 Built-in life protection cabin. Technology Evaluation level C, use evaluation: general level. Vital 1 heart position energy crystal. Features: It can be repaired after damage. Vital position armor 45 points. Movement speed and reaction sensitivity increased by 20%."

The new Reaper's stats have changed in many ways. The defense and armor values ​​have been reduced, and the main weapon system has not been installed for the time being, but the movement speed and responsiveness have been considerably improved.

As far as practical value is concerned, this copycat version of the Reaper has not been reduced much, but its manufacturing cost is much lower, and due to its relatively small size, the metal consumption is much less than expected.

Seeing that the reaper was finally fully completed, everyone's eyes shone with excitement at the same time. Eight days of hard work finally paid off.

At that time, Hong Lang murmured: "Maybe we should have a match between T1000 and Reaper to see which of them is better, so as to test our harvest."

"This is really a good idea." Shen Yi also laughed.

Speaking of which, after returning to the city, everyone was so busy with a series of tasks that they couldn't see the capabilities of the T1000 after they got it.

It's time to check it out, too.
