I am farming in the real world

Chapter 72: A True Expert with Skill (Seeking Subscriptions)

Accompanied by Chen Jue's chuunibyou-filled shout of "Activate!"

After stepping on the pressure plate, the bizarre robot model before him, a mix of Gundam, Zaku, and EVA Unit-01 silhouettes.

With a creaking sound, two powerful thrusting pistons extended from its soles.

Relying on this piston thrust, the entire robot leaped upwards from its stationary position by a distance of 1 meter.

Finally, it landed with a thud, the dull sound of a heavy object hitting the ground echoing throughout the shipyard workshop.

However, this unusual noise did not surprise Chen Jue.

His attention was now focused on the two piston-equipped feet of the bizarre robot, and the playback footage from a camera on site.

"It can actually land so stably?"

"The moment it lands, there's not even a hint of vibration!"

Seeing such amazing results from the first test, a look of wild joy immediately appeared on Chen Jue's face.

Because the purpose of this round of testing was to see if the robot model, with the added lithium-electric piston head, would fall flat on its back as usual after jumping up, testing its stability.

After all, this experimental robot is purely a large model made of stacked iron parts.

There are no driving software or mechanical moving devices inside, nor are there any modules to provide energy.

Even the connections between the limbs are fixed and welded using the characteristics of MC blocks, and there isn't even a shock absorber on the legs!

But even this robot model, which is merely a facade, can firmly stabilize its stance after jumping to a height of one meter and falling down.

This seemingly insignificant test result, if it fell into the eyes of a professional robot engineer, would make their eyes pop out!

Because all over the world, so far, there isn't a single 10-meter-tall large robot that can achieve such stable landing after jumping.

Even Boston Dynamics in the United States, or major robot companies in China, do not have such heaven-defying technology!

Of course, the reason why Chen Jue wanted to test this [Lithium-Electric Piston] using a robot as a prototype.

Was also because he had a chuunibyou attack, thinking about whether he could use the MC system to create a Gundam or Unit-01.

Even if he settled for second best, a Zaku or a mobile fortress would be fine!

After all, in the game MC, similar Gundam robot Mods had been developed before.

In addition, as the progress of Cube Technology's Magic Cube Factory is accelerating, there are less than two or three days left before the factory shell is completed.

Chen Jue plans to use the existing MC cubes to find a brand new profit point for this new factory.

Previously, he mortgaged a 280 million yuan loan with interest first and principal later from ICBC, and also purchased a large number of brand-new construction machinery and heavy trucks in installments.

Every time he opens his eyes, there will be hundreds of thousands of yuan in interest on the books.

Although Chen Ji's operating revenue alone can easily repay it, Chen Jue still wants to quickly develop new products because of the uncomfortable experience of being strangled by debt in the past.

Repay these large loans and installments as soon as possible, so as not to drag down the development of the company and affect his mood.

However, after testing the jumping posture of this solid robot for a while.

Chen Jue discovered a very fatal flaw!

That is, the [Lithium-Electric Piston], an MC item, is too rigid in the running process.

In addition to relying on the piston head to push the ground to jump, the jet propulsion effect generated by pushing air is not strong.

More importantly, this [Lithium-Electric Piston] is the same as the elemental iron cubes smelted from MC furnaces, they are all things that cannot be exposed to the light.

Even if he really made a Gundam, Chen Jue could only secretly close it up and play with it himself, and could not use it to make money.

"Could it be that I really have to remove the power and make large model figures such as Transformers and sell them to those bars or anime exhibitions?"

"This business doesn't seem to have any technical barriers!"

Chen Jue thought about it and felt that using making figures as the main business of Cube Technology was a bit too low-grade.

So, after testing this superficial MC Unit-01 for a few rounds, Chen Jue used a [Iron Pickaxe] to smash it and re-seal it.

He plans to wait until the Magic Cube Factory is built later, and introduce some high-precision CNC machine tools to see if he can realize the dream of making a Gundam.

… …

Although the dream of making a Gundam has been temporarily suspended, this further test of the [Lithium-Electric Piston] and obtaining a lot of experimental data has given Chen Jue a lot of new ideas and inspiration.

So, in the next two days, in addition to going to Wencheng's Chen Ji breeding base to expand the breeding scale, he increased the original 30,000 'free-range chickens' in the pen to 100,000 in one go.

In order to cover the chicken source supply for several Chen Ji branches that are about to open.

At night, taking advantage of the Magic Cube Factory being spliced together, the factory body with a length, width, and height of more than 200 meters completely wrapped the Minghua Shipyard.

After perfectly realizing the severance of the shipyard's line of sight with the outside world, he took a bunch of iron golems and began to engage in demolition and expansion inside.

First, the equipment used in the shipyard was left, and the remaining overall structure was knocked down and leveled with a [Pickaxe].

Then, the original waterline, which was only more than 3 meters deep and could only accommodate small ships of thousands of tons, was widened to 10 meters in one breath, reaching the point where it could dock a 10,000-ton bulk carrier.

Afterwards, Chen Jue took his strategist Chen Shang and left Wenshi in a business car, driving more than 300 kilometers to Xiangshan County, Ning City, in northern Jiangzhe.

He found a Hongyu Shipping Brokerage Company that he had contacted online in advance.

Saying it is a company, it is actually an intermediary for buying, selling, and leasing ships.

Due to geographical environment, the shipping and other water cargo industries are not developed in Wenshi area, so the shipbuilding industry is relatively backward.

But Ning City is different!

As early as 2013, the joint port formed by Ning City and Zhoushan achieved an annual cargo throughput of 809 million tons, surpassing Shanghai Port to become the world's largest throughput super port!

Because of the development of the port industry, coupled with the excellent geographical environment, Ning City has also achieved a latecomer advantage in terms of total economic volume, far exceeding Wenshi, the tail end of Jiangzhe, and even approaching Hangzhou, which has already entered the new first-tier.

Xiangshan has benefited from the shipping development dividend of Ning City, and the shipbuilding industry is extremely developed.

All sizes of docks can see a line of shipyards and shipbuilding companies working enthusiastically.

This Hongyu Shipping Brokerage Company is a typical intermediary that wanders in these shipbuilding enterprises and shipping logistics industries, specializing in dealing with some old ships that have reached their age limit and will be scrapped in a few years.

Manager Zhang Haiyuan of Hongyu was very happy to learn that Chen Jue had brought people to see the ship.

Early in the morning, he specially dressed up and took a few assistants and Chen Jue and his party to a remote pier dedicated to parking these old ships for sale for on-site inspection.

"President Chen, this ship is the 10,000-ton bulk carrier you saw online!"

"A total of 2 cargo holds with zipper-type hatch covers, a gross tonnage of 7,669, and a full load of over 10,000 tons."

"The navigation area is inshore A1 + A2, and the procedures and certificates are complete, and the special inspection is until January 27. Although the hull is a bit old, it was built in 2003, you can run it immediately after you buy it! As long as you don't go to the far sea, running some Southeast Asian or domestic business is guaranteed to be no problem." Manager Zhang talked eloquently, and various data came easily.

It seems that he is very concerned about this sudden business.

After all, selling second-hand ships is not as simple as selling second-hand cars. Many of them do not open for half a year, and opening once is enough to eat for half a year.

There are a lot of shipping intermediaries in Xiangshan. It is not easy to find a rich Wenshi boss, so he must arrange everything clearly for him.

"It's rusted into this state, and it can still run foreign business? I don't think it's reliable!"

"How about this, I'll take the master down to check the engine situation first."

Chen Jue looked at the 10,000-ton old bulk carrier that looked like it was about to disintegrate, and joked with the talkative Manager Zhang a few words.

Afterwards, he deliberately asked Tie Lao Liu to pretend to be a knowledgeable ship mechanic and take him down to the engine room inside the ship to carry out a pretended inspection.

As for the strategist Chen Shang, he stayed on the deck to continue bargaining with Manager Zhang, and by the way, used his treacherous and seductive eloquence to attract everyone's attention.

Chen Jue, who went down to the engine room, was staring at the medium-speed heavy-duty diesel engine covered in oil with bright eyes.

He asked Tie Lao Liu to block the door to the engine room with a cube, then took out a [Iron Pickaxe] to knock off the diesel engine, revealing the power output bearing connecting the ship's propeller.

Then, in the empty space of the diesel engine, he put a [Lithium-Electric Piston] that had been modified in the past two days, and attached a connecting rod-shaped [Iron Bar] using the MC cube characteristics on the piston head, and placed it on the power output bearing that originally required 15,000 horsepower to drive.

With the circuit of the pressure plate stimulating, the [Lithium-Electric Piston] made a creaking sound and pushed out, and the [Iron Bar] connecting rod attached above followed the linkage, driving the power output bearing to rotate.

Manager Zhang, who was bargaining with the strategist on the deck, smiled when he heard the sound of the propeller turning from behind the stern: "Brother Shang, the mechanic your boss brought is really skilled!"

"He succeeded in the test run not long after going down. He is indeed an expert in our shipbuilding industry!"
