Thirty Entrepreneurship: Recycling of second-hand aircraft carriers at the beginning

Chapter 501 As a Supporting Character
He muttered to himself, and although he wanted to come back and have a good rest, he found himself becoming more energetic.

Maybe it was because I was too excited to just get home.

Insomnia is not something that would happen to Lin Chen. After a while, he fell asleep.

Until the sun shone on his face, he was awakened by the heat.

As soon as I picked up my phone to check the time, it started vibrating.

It was the military district's phone number. Lin Chen remembered that Fang Weihai had called him via this landline many times.

Only then did he realize that it was already late and he really had slept in.

"I was just wondering why you called me so early in the morning. It turns out it's almost ten o'clock." Lin Chen said to Fang Weihai on the other end of the phone.

Fang Weihai laughed: "Then I am still disturbing you."

"No, I just woke up. Is there something wrong?" Lin Chen asked.

"You can't hide anything from me. Generally speaking, when I call you, I have something to tell you. I won't beat around the bush. Now that the matter with the spacecraft has been completed, isn't it time to start placing orders for the mechanical suits?" Fang Weihai said.

"Ah?" Lin Chen really didn't expect, "You guys really don't let me rest!"

Lin Chen looked at Fang Weihai with a slightly resentful look, which made Fang Weihai feel a little uneasy.

Fang Weihai quickly adjusted his mood and asked, "That's not right! Why is it so difficult to get equipment from you recently? It wasn't like this before."

"I almost want to call you brother, brother! I just came back from the space base, you have to let me catch my breath." Lin Chen said.

"Even so, the mechanical exosuit won't be a difficult task for you." Fang Weihai was still full of confidence.

The mechanical suit was indeed not difficult for Lin Chen, but he just wanted to take a break, especially to relax mentally.

Looking at Fang Weihai, Lin Chen finally said with a smile: "Okay, how many sets do you want this time?"

Fang Weihai said without hesitation: "Five hundred and sixty sets."

Lin Chen wanted to frown, but he held back and said, "This will take me at least a week. I will finish it as soon as possible."

"It's okay. We all know that this is high-tech stuff and it's not easy to make," said Fang Weihai.

"Okay, that's settled. Do you want the goods all at once or in batches?" Lin Chen needed to ask clearly, because the orders might not be from the same person and needed to be paid for separately, so that some customers could wait less time.

Fang Weihai said: "When 300 sets are ready, let me know first and I will send someone to pick them up."

Lin Chen understood. Since there was no further comment, there was no need to divide them into batches. Fang Weihai finished explaining the work and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he said to Lin Chen earnestly: "I know you have worked hard on the aerospace base. You can directly contact the finance department to transfer the order fee for this mechanical coat."

"Yes, I will." Lin Chen said.

After watching Fang Weihai drive away in the jeep, Lin Chen turned around and went back to the factory.

The first thing is to report to the financial department.

He knew that sometimes it was reported directly to Fang Weihai, and then the finance department would transfer the money; sometimes it was reported to the finance department first, and then Fang Weihai would confirm it, and then the finance department would transfer the money. In any case, Lin Chen didn't mind this little time.

The last time we developed and built the mechanical exosuit, the state allocated 200 million yuan in special funds.

Finally, after excluding the R&D costs, the price of the mechanical outer shell has fluctuated several times and is now set at RMB 350,000 per set.

Not everyone can use this thing.

In the past, the number of orders was at most in the tens digits. The number of orders that Fang Weihai mentioned this time really surprised Lin Chen, but he did not show it and still had to remain calm.

"Their orders for mechanical outerwear are very popular, and I don't know who wants so many." Lin Chen could only sigh that this country or organization is really rich. Of course, it may not be a national purchase, but also the behavior of an individual organization.

There are other legion organizations in this world. If there are mechanical equipment like the one developed and built by Lin Chen, it will certainly attract their attention.

However, these are no longer meaningful to Lin Chen. The only thing he needs to do is to earn the current fees.

Including the income from this spaceship, Lin Chen's balance has reached 420 million, and the points have increased from 122 to 172.

Lin Chen sighed: "I don't know if the system can be upgraded after this development. Every time I ask, they say they are checking. It's really troublesome."

The system seemed to sense Lin Chen's words, and immediately popped up an interface and said: "Master, the system upgrade needs to be considered from multiple dimensions, so it took a while."

Lin Chen complained helplessly: "Your work is a bit slow now! The operation speed is slow."

"That's because you haven't developed enough things, so the system cannot be upgraded." The system said righteously.

Lin Chen felt that what it said made sense. The second time the spacecraft was developed was not much better than the first time. Perhaps this was the reason why the system had not been upgraded yet.

At this time, Lin Chen's cell phone rang.

When he opened it, he saw that the amount had reached 196 million, and he was satisfied!
He looked at the machine that was manufacturing the mechanical coat and realized that the mechanical coat was no longer his current new research and development achievement.

Sighing, Lin Chen thought: "It seems that I need to research some new things, or re-research the things on the system shelf."

New innovative research and development are needed to upgrade the system to a higher degree of matching and develop more advanced things.

At present, Lin Chen knows the extent that the system can achieve, and it depends on whether his own research and development efforts and quantity can keep up.

Thinking of this, he did not turn off the running machines, but let them run on their own, while he sat aside and checked the goods in the system very attentively.

Some of them were purchased from other places and stored here, and some were small items developed on a whim. However, it seems that there is no room for further development on these small items.

Lin Chen decisively gave up efforts in this direction and instead focused his attention on the things he had purchased.

Lin Chen browsed the shelves in the system and quickly eliminated an option that was not considered. Only the one in front of him was left, with two rows of items neatly placed on it. These items were all famous guns in the world today.

Now Lin Chen doesn’t plan to study those large equipment anymore. He wants to switch to studying guns.

He found that every time he developed something new, the system would give corresponding rewards.

Since developing new things not only brings rewards but also promotes system upgrades, Lin Chen is naturally willing to invest less time in doing these things.

After carefully looking at the various guns, Lin Chen already had a preliminary idea in his mind. He took out the blueprint and returned to the factory office to start composing.

This time he was going to develop a heat-seeking missile pistol, a high-precision mini missile pistol that uses heat sensing to locate and track. In addition to the parts of the pistol, the problem of matching bullets also made Lin Chen fall into deep thought. Should he choose a special bullet or a common bullet on the market? This question made it difficult for him to make a decision in a short period of time.

He stopped writing, put it aside, and began to analyze the application scenarios and ultimate goals. In just a few seconds, he finally made up his mind.

Picking up the pen again, he quickly completed the final composition.

"Ding, Master, the system senses that you have a new R&D project and have completed the mapping. You will be rewarded 25 points. Additional rewards will be given after the finished product is completed."

"When can the system be upgraded?" Lin Chen asked.

"Master, you need to keep up the good work. Currently, you have only participated in the development of four products, and one of them is still in the research and development stage and has not yet been completed. This does not meet the prerequisite for system upgrades." The system replied.

Lin Chen had anticipated this might be the case, but he still pressed on: "There should be a quantitative standard for system upgrades. How much is needed to reach the upgrade level? And what stage has it reached so far? Let me see it clearly at a glance."

After receiving Lin Chen's command, the system said: "Master's suggestion makes sense. I will study it."

Then, the light blue system interface disappeared.

Lin Chen clicked several times but failed to open it, so he simply gave up and decided to do his own thing first.

But he suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, "Don't crash the system! I still need parts for the newly developed pistol!"

The light blue interface appeared again...

According to the drawings, the system is equipped with corresponding parts and components, which are displayed in the form of pictures on the interface.

In the end, Lin Chen chose the universal bullet.

After all, the biggest advantage of this pistol is its heat-sensing tracking, which allows it to locate and strike in the absence of light, so the bullets don’t need to be special.

At this time, the system's voice sounded again: "The new heat-seeking mini missile pistol costs two hundred thousand US dollars. The magazine has a capacity of seven rounds and can be given away. Please confirm whether the order has been paid."

Lin Chen clicked OK without hesitation, and the parts needed for each part were clearly displayed in front of him.

Just as he was about to assemble his newly developed pistol, the phone rang.

Seeing that it was the director of the aerospace base, Liu Cheng, who was calling, Lin Chen picked up the phone: "Hello."

"Professor Lin, I'm Liu Cheng."

"Yes, I have Director Liu's phone number saved." Lin Chen said. After all, this was not the first time they had contacted each other.

Liu Cheng introduced himself and said, "Since the last spacecraft inspection was completed, we have arranged for the launch and the time has been set. I mainly want to invite Professor Lin to come and witness this moment together."

Before this, they had already discussed this matter, and Lin Chen would not participate in the later launch work. But Liu Cheng's invitation at this time exceeded the previous agreement.

Liu Cheng also knew that such a change was a bit sudden and inappropriate, so he explained to Lin Chen: "We sincerely invite you to witness this moment, and hope that Professor Lin can give you a chance."

Lin Chen said calmly: "Although I was listed as the chief designer and developer before, we also agreed that I will not participate in the launch."

Liu Cheng hesitated for a moment, then said, "Well, I won't bother Professor Lin any more. Thank you again for your contribution to our country's aerospace industry."

"You're welcome." Lin Chen said.

In his opinion, this was just completing the R&D task and it was a profitable business.

Although there is some patriotism, it cannot be the main reason in this matter.

After ending the call, Lin Chen received a new message and a link on his mobile phone.

New information shows that the spacecraft will be launched at 10 o'clock in the morning two days later, and the link is the channel for live viewing.

Lin Chen curled his lips slightly, put his phone aside, and concentrated on assembling the new pistol.

After pushing the bullets into the magazine and completing the assembly, Lin Chen pointed the new pistol at the doors and windows in the distance.

Then he stood up and walked to the factory's range, where he did not rely on thermal response but on his eyesight and feel to determine the comfort of the pistol.

He turned around, poured a cup of hot water from the cup next to him and placed it on the target.

When he got back to the distance, he flipped a small switch on the pistol, which was used to adjust whether the thermal pursuit mode was turned on.

Now the pistol has entered heat-seeking mode.

Lin Chen gently pulled the trigger, and the muzzle was not aimed directly at the hot water cup, but the cup exploded instantly, which was obviously the effect of the heat tracking attack.

Seeing this, Lin Chen smiled with satisfaction. "Not bad, but there is still a small flaw. If there are two identical targets in front, it may accidentally hit them." He said to himself and decided to further modify the pistol so that it can accurately hit the target closest to the target in a straight line. In this way, the problem can be solved, and the rest depends on Lin Chen's shooting skills.

After the R&D and construction work was completed, the system prompt sounded at the right time: "Congratulations to the owner for successfully developing and building a new product. I hereby reward you with 50 points. You are one step closer to upgrading the system."

"Have you developed a progress bar? How far am I from upgrading the system?" Lin Chen asked curiously.

"It's already under research, master, please be patient!" the system replied.

Hearing this reply, Lin Chen believed that the system could solve this problem, so he stopped urging. He looked down at the new gun in his hand and took out the original PPK.

"Looks like it's time for an upgrade. New features have been added based on PPK, so of course I have to upgrade to a new one." He muttered to himself, then checked his points and balance.

After the research and development of aircraft carriers and spacecraft, Lin Chen's income increased significantly.

"Balance 610 million, points 247."

He muttered to himself, and he was too lazy to care about the decimal point after the balance.

After the development of the pistol was completed, Lin Chen went over to check the progress of the construction of the mechanical suit. The first batch of 300 sets would take two days, so he was not in a hurry and let the machine run on its own.

Then, he remembered that Fang Lan had asked him to have dinner together and meet another actor. Lin Chen closed the rolling door of the factory. The fully intelligent monitoring system would be responsible for monitoring the running machines. He could operate them remotely without having to stay there all the time.

He drove to Building 3 of Zuiwengzhiyi and arrived home at exactly four o'clock in the afternoon.

Fang Lan saw Lin Chen coming back from the window. The moment he was about to open the door, the door was opened by Fang Lan inside.

Fang Lan rushed over with a smile on her face. The two finally met again after so many days since they last separated.
