Chapter 284 I admit that I spoke a little loudly just now [Subscribe]

In fact, Chen Xuan understands.

The passive power armor he requested does have considerable design difficulties.

This is especially true if you want to ensure the flexibility of the structure.

The flexibility here does not only refer to normal up and down movements, but also to movements that can approximate human joints and postures.

At present, it is a difficult problem for mechanical mechanisms to fully flexibly simulate human postures across the entire Blue Star.

Previously, the Bald Eagle's Boston Dynamics did a relatively good job in this regard. Their robots were the first to achieve single-leg and standing jumps, running, obstacle avoidance and self-balancing.

Although the released video has a certain editing effect.

But in terms of movement flexibility, it is already quite smooth.

This is the knowledge of mechanical design.

Of course, it is also related to the fact that Boston Dynamics uses a hydraulic power assist system, which has stronger explosive power than traditional motor power assist.

But in any case, if you want the mechanical structure to be as smooth as possible, there are design difficulties in itself.

Fortunately, Chen Xuan said that there is no need for power, which reduces a lot of difficulty. Otherwise, while designing, you have to consider the preset of the power system.

But even so, it is not easy to achieve what Chen Xuan asked for.

As for the individual exoskeleton that had been studied and distributed more than ten years ago, it was completely unrelated to the passive power armor he asked for.

Mechanical exoskeletons originated from the early people who were inspired by beetles and tried to invent mechanical devices made of steel frames and that could be worn by people.

It is usually called "powered exoskeleton".

It is essentially a wearable robot.

It generally includes three parts: whole machine design, drive (mechanism) design, and control strategy; the "control strategy" is the real-time interaction and control between man and machine, which is the core difficulty.

But it is not armor, but a human body assist system.

It aims to enhance the functionality of the human body, including strength, terrain crossing ability, etc.

Today, Blue Star's research and application of mechanical exoskeletons are mainly two types, that is, amplification type and auxiliary type.

At present, Xiaguo and Bald Eagle have both distributed practical models.

Xiaguo's mechanical exoskeleton started earlier, almost at the same time as large drones, so the technology is relatively advanced.

But this does not meet Chen Xuan's requirements.

In the final analysis, it is because the mechanical exoskeleton is not flexible enough.

Most of the current mechanical exoskeletons are used in logistics.

Secondly, the exoskeleton is just a framework. It is much more difficult to expand its main body than Chen Xuan directly asking someone to design a set of wearable flexible armor.

Therefore, he can understand why Hongyu Heavy Technology is playing badly.

Because his requirements do have considerable design difficulties.

Although it can be done with the current technical reserves of Xiaguo's mechanical design.

But it takes more effort.

A million design fee is also normal.

But what makes him angry is the attitude of Zhang Youpan and Li Jianping to fool him.

It can be said that there is difficulty, and it is no problem to add money.

The price is set by the other party, and the promise is made by the other party, but in the end they choose to play badly.

This is what Chen Xuan is dissatisfied with.

"Do you really treat me as a piglet?"

He sneered suddenly.

Immediately restrained his emotions, took out his mobile phone again, and dialed the other party's number again.

After half a minute, Zhang Youpan answered the phone with a little impatience.

"Didn't I say that?"

"Go to the legal channel. After the contract is signed, the sales department will no longer be in charge of this matter."

Zhang Youpan's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Chen Xuan said in a leisurely tone with a curled mouth.

"Sorry, Commissioner Zhang."

"I admit that I spoke a little loudly just now."

"How about this, I am willing to pay the seven-digit design fee."

"Why don't we come out and talk about the details now?"

"Call Engineer Li as well, and the three of us will find a place to have a drink. For tens of thousands of dollars, there is no need to talk about a lawsuit."

Chen Xuan's attitude changed suddenly.

It was a bit unexpected for Zhang Youpan.

"This..."

"Okay then."

"It seems that you are really sincere."

Don't hit a smiling person.

After a little thought, Zhang Youpan agreed.

As for the fraud, he didn't even think about it.

What era is it now?

This is Tianhai City, and the other party will not do anything to them for tens of thousands of dollars.

Years of urban life and a relatively stable environment have long diluted people's sense of crisis.

Considering the possible cooperation in the future.

And Chen Xuan's sincere attitude.

He decided to bring Li Jianping to the appointment again.

If the other party is really willing to pay enough design fees, then this business is not impossible to negotiate.

Hongyu Heavy Industry still relies on performance to speak.

As long as the order volume is large enough, the performance bonus is more, and it is not a problem for multiple departments to cooperate or even work overtime to design for him.

It is precisely because of this consideration that Zhang Youpan chose to agree to meet.

The two parties agreed to meet in a tavern in Dingjia District.

After hanging up the phone, the smile on Chen Xuan's face did not diminish at all.

He admitted that he spoke loudly just now, but later, Zhang Youpan and Li Jianping would know who is the boss.

After getting up and tidying up his clothes, Chen Xuan walked into the bathroom and simply used warm water to wipe his face.

Then he put the key in his pocket and looked back at Anqila, who was curled up on the lazy sofa like a kitten.

"I'm going out for a while."

"Maybe I'll be back later."

Hearing his words, Anqila hurriedly got up.

"Master, can you take me with you?"

She was about to leave Blue Star and return to Naroa.

She still wanted to see as much of this world as possible.

Hearing her words, Chen Xuan thought for a moment and agreed.

It wouldn't be a problem to take Anqila with her.

As a fourth-level spellcaster of thunder and fire.

Her own extraordinary power is also terrifying enough in Blue Star.

After getting Chen Xuan's consent.

She hurriedly ran into the bathroom with her clothes.

After walking out again, Anqila changed her pajamas into a black dress.

She wore a storage necklace and bracelet on her neck and wrist respectively, which have become the best decorations now.

The void stone can slowly change color under the light, switching between purple and gray.

The speed of change of this color and light is not fast, so it does not look abrupt, but only looks beautiful.

After changing clothes, Anqila looks like a mage who has just reached adulthood.

The premise is not to consider her real age.

However, if we look at it according to the life expectancy ratio, she is indeed just an adult now.

For example, the standard of adulthood for dwarves is 40 years old.

Different life spans and growth cycles naturally have different definitions of age.

For the blue star people with an average life expectancy of 70 or 80 years.

Anqila's age of more than 30 years is already considered a middle-aged person.

But compared with her life expectancy of two or three hundred years, there is no difference between more than 30 years old and just reaching adulthood.

Naturally holding Anqila's delicate little hand.

The two went out hand in hand.

It was more than nine o'clock in the evening.

The community is still relatively quiet, as there is not much nightlife here.

But it is different after going out.

The food street opposite the community is still bustling.

Especially the barbecue restaurants, lobster restaurants, and grilled fish restaurants, which are suitable for drinking a little wine and chatting while eating, are extremely noisy.

Occasionally, you can see a few naked men with big bellies walking out of the restaurant with their arms around each other.

Cars hurriedly drove by on the road.

There are always people busy in this city.

Street lights cast light and shadows on the ground.

Holding Anqila, Chen Xuan found the car parked outside the community and drove to the agreed location.

…

At the same time, in the back seat of a taxi.

Zhang Youpan and Li Jianping sat together.

They are both old hands in the company.

They have worked together for several years.

They have seen many strange customers over the years.

But this is the first one like Chen Xuan.

Passive power armor?

It makes no sense to think about it.

However, the signing of the contract a few days ago was essentially due to their lack of attention.

The quotation given was not standardized.

This made it impossible for the design department to meet the other party's requirements.

According to the management, it was inevitable to give up.

Anyway, Hongyu Heavy Technology is backed by a state-owned enterprise.

It enjoys local protection policies.

It is called Tianhai Pizza Hut. There are no big lawsuits, and small lawsuits are not important. This is the current situation.

The workplace mechanism of the state-owned enterprise determines everything.

Therefore, they seem to be fearless.

"Mr. Li, do you think there are really such fools?"

"Willing to spend millions of design fees to develop passive power armor?"

Zhang Youpan asked casually with his hands behind his head.

Li Jianping, who was wearing glasses, nodded.

"Based on the current technical reserves and open-source patents, his requirements can be achieved."

"But this is not a simple design task."

"A project team needs to be set up."

"It is mainly the so-called passive power armor, which must maintain the flexibility of the mechanical structure, and have both defense and expandability, which is equivalent to indirectly having practical value."

"Of course, it is undoubtedly a pipe dream to make it work without a power source."

"The core difficulty is still the power source."

"Whether it is an electric motor or a hydraulic drive, pipelines and power units must be reserved during the design."

"But he did not have this requirement. Even if it is designed, it is difficult to add the power unit later."

Li Jianping, who graduated from an engineering major, is more concerned about its operability.

Hearing what he said, Zhang Youpan raised his eyebrows.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"If I had known this earlier, I would not have given him such a low quote. Maybe I would have directly negotiated a big contract."

A design fee of millions of dollars is not a small order for any mechanical company.

And this does not include subsequent production and manufacturing.

According to Chen Xuan's request, it is likely that he will go for the custom route.

Then the price of a single custom order is definitely not cheap. Depending on the material, the price ranges from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

If you customize ten or eight sets at random, plus the design fee, this is a single order with a total amount of over 10 million.

In response, Li Jianping yawned and shrugged without any guilt.

"Who knows if he is serious."

"Just like tonight, he may not finalize it."

Li Jianping said casually.

He never thought that Chen Xuan's deal could be negotiated successfully.

Because it was too much nonsense.

Li Jiansheng had this attitude since he first met Chen Xuan.

He had no interest in personal cases and only cared about enterprise-level orders.

Zhang Youpan felt a headache every time he went out with him to negotiate contracts.

And the reason this guy told him privately was that he couldn't stand the faces of those private upstarts.

Relying on the characteristics of the company, this was not the first time he did this.

Most private customers would choose to admit that they were unlucky.

For the few who were serious, they would ask the company's legal department to come forward.

To put it bluntly, the legal department was maintained to solve these bullshit problems.

Even if someone complained to the company, it could be easily settled by shirking responsibility and passing the buck.

The company did not pay much attention to this, although it said that customers were the top priority.

But social customers were still divided into several levels.

There is still a big difference between big customers with orders of more than 10 million per year and small customers with orders of hundreds of thousands.

The main point is to play badly.

After the capitalization of the national character head, such things are not uncommon.

The contempt chain exists from top to bottom.

Chen Xuan just happened to encounter such a thing.

Of course, this is also directly related to Zhang Heng's poor business ability.

If he could communicate better with Zhang Youpan and others in advance, such a contradiction might not necessarily occur.

But anyway, the matter has come to this.

For Zhang Youpan and Li Jianping, this is not a big deal.

Sitting in the taxi, they went to the appointment calmly.

Thinking that Chen Xuan would certainly be diligent in pleading.

The one who spends money is the uncle, this concept is the opposite on Hongyu Heavy Technology.

About half an hour later, they arrived at the agreed place.

Chen Xuan had already arrived with Anqila first, and booked a private room facing the street.

He did not drink, but asked for a glass of sweet water.

As for Ahn'Qiraj, there were no taboos, and he had a glass of strong salty dog.

The base wine of this thing has a high alcohol content and is often called "virginity-losing wine".

But it was nothing to Ahn'Qiraj.

The weak physique of the Naroya spellcaster was only relative to the gold-level magic element practitioners of the same level.

Compared with ordinary people in Blue Star, her physique is still a monster.

The room number was sent to Zhang Youpan in advance.

Chen Xuan chatted with Yang Renyong while drinking sweet water.

In a few days, he had to go to Hangzhou to deal with the batch of engineering vehicles and photovoltaic energy storage power supplies entrusted to Yang Renyong.

In addition to Lanna Trading Co., Ltd., which was about to get on track.

Qianjiang Bicycle Factory was his second hidden chess piece.

Many materials can not only be handled by Lanna Trading Company.

They can also be solved by Yang Renyong.

This can share the hidden risks to a certain extent.

Just as he was playing with his mobile phone, the door of the private room was opened.

Zhang Youpan and Li Jianping came in one after another in casual clothes.

Unlike the arrogant attitude on the phone.

In reality, Zhang Youpan was all smiles and looked extremely polite.

"Mr. Chen."

After seeing the two, Chen Xuan stood up and showed a bright smile.
