Chapter 403: Mecha Open (Second Update)

While Yang Bo was struggling at home about what to do first, the Alliance Parliament was voting on the limited opening of mechas to all citizens.

This vote was passed with great difficulty. In fact, this vote had been decided long ago, but the interests of the parliamentarians were not balanced well. In this pharmacist union turmoil, some guys who did not achieve their interests were actually involved and had to resign.

So the vote was immediately held here to catch the other party off guard. So after this vote, the resolution came into effect, but there were also many voices of opposition.

These voices of opposition were the forces behind the parliamentarians who were forced to resign, but the Alliance had an advantage, that is, as long as the vote was passed, nothing could be said.

In addition, the other two countries also expressed their opinions, believing that this move by the Alliance was very dangerous.

The reason why the other two countries opposed it was because it would increase the civilian armed forces of the Alliance. Imagine that invading the Alliance in the future, there would be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of mechas on each planet. What should we do?

Destroy the planet directly? This is impossible. What is the purpose of fighting? Is it just to destroy the planet? It is better to fight other uninhabited planets. At least the cost is not that high.

After Yang Bo washed up and prepared to go to bed, he looked at his watch and found that Zhang Bozhen had sent him a message, asking him to cooperate with the transfer of the mecha tomorrow.

Yang Bo was a little surprised, and then he opened the news and found that the alliance had passed the motion to open the mecha.

"The ninth-generation and below mechas are open to the public."

"The mechas are specially customized, with some weapons and equipment castrated. In addition, the mechas must be monitored by the planetary warning system in public places."

"Everyone must have a good credit and no criminal record. In addition, the transfer, auction, and mortgage of mechas must also meet the above conditions."

"Citizens holding passports of other countries are not allowed to purchase them, and they are not allowed to take mechas abroad."

"Mechas must be scrapped, maintained, and serviced at designated locations."

"Mecha owners must purchase compulsory insurance."

"Specific mecha travel regulations are decided by each place, and must not affect the safe operation of the original transportation vehicles or interfere with the operation of other transportation vehicles."

"Mechas must be reported and notified in advance when they appear in public places, and warnings will be sent to all people passing through the target public area."

"Isn't this thing meant to be played at home?" Yang Bo came to a conclusion after reading it carefully.

"But it's true. If a mecha is used in public, who will be held responsible if it gets bumped or frightened? Who will be held responsible if it scares a child?"

"But this is for the rich."

"You can say it's a benefit for the rich." This is not surprising at all. Isn't Western law on Earth for the rich? What about bail of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars? Poor people can afford it. Some perpetrators pay bail and run away. Can you find the victim? Some victims have not received compensation for decades.

"Fortunately, my private land is big enough."

Yang Bo read the news and found that the price of land has increased everywhere. Rich people buy mechas, which is troublesome in public places, but they can do whatever they want at home.

So the value of land is reflected. Even if you buy wasteland in the wild, you have to buy it. What you need to drive a mecha is spaciousness.

Then the stock prices of mecha manufacturers soared. Mecha manufacturers have launched various series of mechas, from the third to the ninth generation, humanoid, beast, reptile, three-in-one of sea, land and air, land model, flying model, etc.

Of course, these mechas have castrated some weapons, such as super large cold weapons, which must be configured separately, and laser weapons, which are also customized separately. In fact, laser weapons are still very safe. There will be intelligent system recognition and they will not attack others at will, otherwise the manufacturer will be in trouble.

Of course, the lowest price is the training mecha. Yang Bo looked at the training mecha quoted by Ping An Technology Company for 15 million credit points, and the delivery time is uncertain because there are too many people ordering.

Yang Bo went to see the eighth-generation flying mecha that Zhang Bozhen gave him, which was more than 80 million, and it was still a basic model.

Yang Bo knew that after the opening of mechas this time, the price of mechas would inevitably increase, but he did not expect the price to increase so much.

As for the ninth-generation mecha, it is more than 90 million, or more than 98 million to be precise.

"Wow, this training mecha is more than 10 million, the third-generation mecha is more than 20 million, the fourth-generation mecha is 40 million, and the fifth-generation mecha is 50 million..."

"Isn't this a toy for the rich?" Yang Bo withdrew from Ping An Technology Company.

But then Yang Bo found out that things were not that simple. Sanmu Resource Recycling Company actually sold all kinds of second-hand mechas, and the cheapest one was only 500,000 credit points.

"Is this the first-generation mecha?" Yang Bo looked at the mecha, which looked like the mecha in Avatar, only more than three meters high. The cheapest one was 500,000 credit points, and it supported installment payment, and it was interest-free, with a maximum of 500 installments.

The installment payment in this world is very exaggerated, because superpowers live for a long time.

After a closer look, it was indeed the first-generation mecha, the cheapest one, and then Yang Bo looked at the eighth-generation mecha in his hand, which only cost more than 18 million, but the energy engine had only more than 3,000 hours of life, and it would cost 14 million to replace the new engine, but there were other miscellaneous expenses, and the price of the second-hand engine was different according to the remaining time.

Sanmu Resource Recycling Company not only sells second-hand mechas, but also sells various accessories, from engines to various accessories. Yang Bo is drooling at the sight.

"It seems that this Sanmu company really has a lot of connections with the military." Yang Bo muttered in his heart. This is the company that owns his armor. It almost monopolizes second-hand armor and second-hand energy weapons.

Yang Bo looked at his second-hand training mecha, OK! The minimum credit points are 300,000, but the quality is damaged in battle.

"I wonder if I can find a bargain?" Yang Bo muttered in his heart, because he has the super power of photoelectricity, and he can see the quality of these mechas.

"This recycling company should not be so stupid, and it will definitely identify it." However, this idea was thrown behind Yang Bo.

"All-round harvest." Yang Bo knew that many mecha masters did not have mechas, but even if it was a first-generation mecha, it would be fun, after all, it was also a mecha.

"Maybe the first-generation and second-generation mechas can be opened as transportation." Yang Bo thought again in his heart, after all, the first-generation and second-generation mechas were not as big as many buses now.

Moreover, the first-generation and second-generation mechas don't look that scary, but give people a cute feeling.

Annie and Xiya haven't slept yet. They are looking at the mechas they saw yesterday on the Internet. They are so beautiful. I didn't expect that the alliance would open up the mechas for purchase later.

"It's so expensive."

"It must have increased in price."

"It's not cheap either. We are not looking at the basic models. Look at these configurations. I remember them very clearly at the time."

"The highest configuration is 140 million." The two women quickly calculated to see how much the configuration they saw at Yang Bo's place is worth. They were shocked when they calculated.

Yang Bo's mecha is Zhang Bozhen's, which is many times higher than the highest configuration they saw.

Take the life of the mecha engine for example. The mecha manufacturer says that it is a certain number of hours, and it must break down at that time. The electrical appliances sold by some bad merchants on this earth are like this. As long as the time is up, the chip self-destruction program will be activated, or the background will lock you and wait for you to change the motherboard or something. When you change the new motherboard, they will take the old one back and activate it, and then replace it with someone else.

The life of the motor is the same. We start from the material aspect, and then the shoes are also tested repeatedly. The material ratio is such that it will break after you walk a certain number of times. Isn't it necessary to put pressure on the soles when walking? If you press a certain number of times, it will break.

At least the engine and the mecha materials are not of the same level. Not many people can enjoy this kind of special customization, because Zhang Bozhen is a shareholder.

This is a private customization. On the one hand, Zhang Bozhen's family can deduct taxes, and on the other hand, the company has made money. The price of private customization can be set at will.

At any time, everyone wants a high price. This is the case. One side wants tax exemption, and the other side wants performance. They hit it off. The key is that they are still shareholders. They can get some of the tax deduction money back as dividends at the end of the year.

Of course, the two women didn't know this, but the price they saw now made them feel happy, and they liked Yang Bo even more.

"Look." Annie looked at the eighth-generation mecha simulator again. The price has doubled, and now you have to wait for orders. There are no second-hand ones.

"The uncle really said it right." Xiya said casually.

"Shameless." Annie hit Xiya with the pillow in her hand.

"You call him brother, I call him uncle, should I call you aunt or auntie?" Xiya hugged the pillow in her arms and asked in Annie's ear.

"You..." Annie threw away the things in her hand and rushed to Xiya.

"Aunt, stop it, oops." Xiya begged for mercy.

The stock price of the mecha factory director soared, the stock price of the insurance company soared, and even the stock price of the transportation industry company soared.

In addition, many mecha modification studios have issued financing announcements, and this move has caused a chain reaction.

"Tsk tsk." Yang Bo went to bed after watching for a while.

"I don't know how much the insurance premium will be tomorrow." Yang Bo muttered in his heart.

The next day, Yang Bo came to the company. Niu Bo had already come. It turned out that the mecha was registered under Niu Bo's name.

"It's still better for us residents." After the fat boss paid the insurance premium, his mouth was cracked with smiles.

"30% off the insurance premium." Yang Bo nodded. Because the lowest-level citizens only have 30% of the normal insurance premium, Yang Bo paid 3 million insurance, and the premium amount is 230 million.

Yang Bo has three mechas, two of which are insured for 200 million and 20 million for the eighth generation, and the remaining 10 million is for the training mecha.

Normally, Yang Bo's insurance is 10 million, but he got 7 million less.

The mecha insurance of the fat boss is 4 million. Because the fat boss has a company, the premium is 40% of the normal amount. It is mainly his ninth-generation mecha, and the modified parts are not included in the insurance amount, which means that if it is damaged by an accident, it can only be repaired as if it was not modified, and the insurance will not pay for the accident caused by your modification.

"That's right." Zhou Rui is also a ninth-generation mecha. Zhou Rui should not have a mecha, but Zhou Rui gave up her foreign nationality a long time ago, and March Star has not yet issued relevant laws, so she played a marginal ball. Many laws and regulations on March Star, an undeveloped planet, can be relaxed because it needs development.

"The land price has gone up now, but unfortunately there is no idle land on March Star anymore." The fat boss said with a chuckle.

Yang Bo also smiled. The land price has increased. Yang Bo can't sell it. If he sells it, the value-added tax will be too much. Generally, it is a loan or mortgage cash out, which avoids a lot of taxes.

"Yang Bo, you can practice at home, even the simplest walking, running, jumping, etc., which are relatively simple. Try not to rely on the intelligent system of the mecha."

"There are too many things that can be affected by electromagnetic interference in the mecha. You can operate as much as you can." The fat boss spoke again.

"Brother Jie, I will." Yang Bo nodded.

"Are you free tomorrow to make some potions?" The fat boss asked again.

"Yes, yes." Yang Bo nodded quickly.

"Yang Bo, when I'm done with this period of time, how about going fishing together?" Zhou Rui really wanted to invite Yang Bo to dinner or something, but she was too busy recently. March Star is about to usher in huge changes. Zhou Rui's own identity as a councilor has not yet been obtained, and she is already going through the process.

"No problem." Yang Bo nodded.

"Then I'll leave first." Yang Bo took the mecha file and left.

"Tsk tsk, the training mecha actually has no networking function, and the mecha is in the owner's private land and is not supervised by the alliance." Yang Bo read the relevant regulations carefully.

The training mecha is just an iron lump. It is not a big threat to the alliance, and it does not have stealth and other functions.

As for other mechas, they must be connected to the planetary warning system and the public security monitoring system outside the owner's private land. In the owner's private land, there are no restrictions and no requirement to connect to the network, after all, it touches on privacy.

"Tsk tsk, it seems that the congressmen are very insecure." Yang Bo understood that those powerful people are afraid of death. After all, those congressmen have huge private lands. When they deploy a few mechas, the defense is much higher than that of any superpowers.

Yang Bo returned to his villa and opened the website of Sanmu Resource Recycling Company. He carefully selected the engine that suited his training mecha. Sanmu Resource Company has many engines that are not available now, such as some first-generation, second-generation, and some experimental models.

"Tsk tsk, this engine is a bit good." Yang Bo looked at an engine, which turned out to be the mecha engine of the Crimson Federation.

"But the other party does not provide warranty."

"Is it a technical problem?"

"It is very likely." Yang Bo looked at a scrap engine, which was marked as a suspected engine of the Federation Hercules mecha. Hercules is the fourteenth generation mecha of the Crimson Federation.

"How did they get this thing? Did they disguise themselves as bandits to rob it?" Yang Bo was also very curious about how this guy got someone else's active mecha.
