When he took out the Test Type 1 exoskeleton and applied for a national defense and military production license from the Equipment Department, Sun Cheng did say that the cost could be reduced to less than 200,000 Xia Yuan.

But that was just an intention after all. The military's performance requirements for exoskeleton mechas were much higher than Sun Cheng initially expected.

When the final perfected x-1 came out, the average military procurement price was finally determined by both parties at 264,000 Xiayuan per set, and the enhanced version was 292,000 yuan.

This price [Future Machinery Technology Co., Ltd.] will definitely make a profit, but the profit is not that high.

After all, the production workshop of [Future Machinery Technology Co., Ltd.] has to purchase various machines and recruit technicians, and the cost of production workers is spread.

Of course, Sun Cheng didn't care about that little profit.

Otherwise, if he really wants to make money, he can directly produce No. 1 and No. 3 bases, which are currently in the first scale, and the cost of each set can be reduced to less than 100,000, several times the huge profit.

"General, we will continue to work hard to push down in cost control! But as of now, even if we reduce it, it will be at most two or three percentage points."

Sun Cheng did not conceal the entire production process. Whenever the production of national defense and military products at home and abroad involves the production of national defense and military products, the military or competent departments of various countries will send professionals to the site. They do not interfere in specific management on weekdays, but only conduct quality supervision.

[Future Machinery Technology Co., Ltd.] is no exception. Sun Cheng readily agreed to the Equipment Department to send Captain Sun Long, who had dealt with him several times before, to serve as quality supervision.

After Captain Sun Long completed the construction of the workshop, he almost participated in the entire process of future machinery procurement and installation, raw material procurement and employee recruitment. In fact, the real cost of x-1 has been speculated, which is between about twenty and thirty percentage points.

For military products, this profit is definitely not a huge profit.

Because among national defense and military products, there are many products with a single piece of profit of more than 100%.

Among them, some seemingly inconspicuous individual combat weapons and various rockets, missiles have the highest profit.

In [Transformers Universe], the gross profit of a missile sold by the United States Raytheon to the military is about 180%. It sells castrated products to several major oil-producing countries in the Middle East. The profit can even reach nearly three times. This can be seen from the huge profits.

When the major general heard this, he just smiled and nodded slightly: "Dr. Sun, your country understands your difficulties!"

He immediately changed the topic: "What is the current production capacity of your company? How long will it take for the military's order to be delivered?"

Future Mechanical Technology will receive 27,000 military orders from the Equipment Department for x-1 mechanical exoskeleton armor, and there may be 50,000 or 60,000 subsequent intention orders.

Among them, the ordinary version is about 20,000 sets, and the enhanced version is about 7,000 sets. Including some of the emergency repair parts prepared, the total purchase amount is 7.6 billion Xia Yuan, which is only slightly higher than that of the Navy's purchase of a shield-class destroyer.

However, considering the complex surrounding environment of Xia State, the military expenditure of hundreds of trillions of Xia Yuan per year, if you calculate it carefully, the country may wish to break it into half a penny.

So Sun Cheng did not lobby from the beginning to win more orders. All he wanted was a national defense and military product production license and took the opportunity to establish closer relationships with the country.

After calculating in his mind, he replied: "If the raw materials are sufficient, the two workshops can currently produce and assemble about 80 sets of mechanical exoskeleton armor every day. After the third workshop is built, our final output can reach about 120 sets per day."

"The equipment department requires us to deliver the goods every half month, so before next year, we can provide about 1,200 sets of mechanical exoskeleton armor every half month, and then it can be increased to about 1,800 sets in half a month! All orders are completed, and it does not take a year."

Mechanical exoskeleton armor is different from aircraft and warships, and requires more than one year or even several years of training and running-in period.

After the soldiers are brought to the training, they can master the exoskeleton armor of x-1 at most, thereby quickly improving their combat effectiveness.

The production efficiency of machinery in the future is obviously more satisfactory to the overall equipment, so I stopped talking about this topic without chatting more.

Seeing that the major general no longer mentioned the x-1 mechanical exoskeleton armor, Sun Cheng would be interested.

This time, the equipment department sent people here not only because the x-1 mechanical exoskeleton armor was officially started, but also one very important thing was to verify a new equipment.

Sun Cheng made a gesture of inviting, and walked to a warehouse next to him with the major general and Captain Sun Long.

This warehouse looks normal from the outside, and is no different from common warehouses.

However, like several production workshops of Future Machinery, the warehouse is filled with various surveillance equipment, and there are security guards of future technology in the light and dark areas, as well as a team of soldiers stationed by the military, with extremely high safety levels.

In the future, the warehouse will be used to temporarily store the finished x-1 mechanical exoskeleton armor. At present, because no finished products have been shipped here, it was temporarily requisitioned by Sun Cheng to show the equipment department a new product.

After the group entered the warehouse, the two strange-shaped "monsters" that they saw were shocked by Captain Sun Long, who had not visited the [Intelligent Machinery Laboratory] for a while.

Not to mention the major general from the equipment department. The moment he saw the two monsters, his eyes suddenly became wide open.

"Dr. Sun...this is the new product you mentioned..."

In the center of the huge warehouse, there are two strange-shaped metal monsters.

They are one big and one small, one is two meters long and four meters high, only about one meter high, and have a flat body, standing there with six mechanical legs around them.

The other one is much larger, with a body length of about four meters, almost twice that of the previous one. Its body is also flat and about one meter five meters tall. It stands there with eight mechanical legs.

Seeing two metal monsters in the warehouse aroused the curiosity of the equipment department.

Sun Cheng led them quickly to the metal monster and explained with a smile: "These two mechanical monsters are temporarily named 'Special Terrain Transporting Robot'. We also gave them the nickname 'Spider'. It is a special terrain designed for motor vehicle fleets such as mountains, hills, plateaus and other types of vehicles. "

"This small 'spider' is designed to carry 0.8-1.2 tons of materials. In theory, it can march 80-100 kilometers per hour in most mountainous, hilly and plateau areas at a speed ranging from 40-60 kilometers per hour!"

"The large 'spider' is designed to carry about 3 tons of materials. In theory, it can also march 80-100 kilometers per hour in most mountainous, hilly and plateau areas at speeds ranging from 40-60 kilometers per hour!"

These two spiders are first of all robot enthusiasts in the [Intelligent Mechanical Laboratory]. Referring to the Big Dog Series of Robots from [Boston Dynamics], a theoretical idea was proposed.

As we all know, Xia Kingdom is one of the most complex countries in the world. Not only is the terrain diverse in the country, but the border lines between countries bordering the surrounding countries are also due to the complex terrain, the cost of guarding soldiers to guard the police is far several times higher than that of other countries.

That's why there are researchers who have relatively more military relationships. After knowing that the laboratory's affiliated [Future Machinery Technology Co., Ltd.] is producing mechanical exoskeleton armor for the military, they proposed whether they can use existing technology to design a transportation robot that can come and go freely without special terrain restrictions.

They didn't expect much, after all, they are the most mature military robot technology [Boston Dynamics], and the responses produced by the US military were also very dissatisfied with the responses after the test.

But they never thought that Sun Cheng really had the technology of transport robots, and he was very mature.
Chapter completed!
