Chapter 79 Micro Mecha
Su Wu made a silent estimate.

Just based on manufacturing costs, there is at least five to six times the profit.

"Perhaps I could—"

The considerable profits made Su Wu want to put some ideas into practice.

Anyway, there is no official ban.

I think there should be no problem in secretly building a batch of equipment to compete with the official ones.

But this is just an episode after all.

The idea of ​​competition existed in Su Wu's mind for a few seconds, and then he put it behind his mind.

Not to mention that the shelter’s production schedule is already fully booked.

The profits from the radiation detectors currently being produced are not much less than those from selling equipment.

There is really no need to squeeze out a little more precious productivity to do something that is neither beneficial nor distracting.

Close the document for the radiation protection coating formula.

Su Wu turned on the surveillance of the manufacturing center.

there.

CNC machine tools and 3D printers are continuing to produce radiation detectors steadily as always.

Su Wu specially reserved a small part of the productivity, mainly consisting of two engineering robots.

They no longer make ammunition, but instead create various special metal components.

"An hour or two more."

Counted the number of metal components.

Su Wu was not impatient and continued to wait patiently.

In the past 20 hours.

He did not mass-produce solid-state batteries and delivery-grade drones, which have great application range and modification potential.

Nor was there any new supply of work equipment added to the shelters, which were already short of labour.

The main purpose is to free up spare energy.

To build these metal components, which are crucial to him, as early as possible.

More than an hour later.

All pre-built components are built.

The two engineering robots began to assemble and weld it together without stopping.

Soon, a miniature mecha appeared, about 2.6 meters tall, with humanoid limbs and a hemispherical cockpit in the middle of the torso.

Appeared on the manufacturing table in the manufacturing center.

From the appearance point of view.

It is a bit like the mecha that appeared in Avatar, a mobile expansion platform armor, but the overall size is much smaller.

And the front half of the cockpit is no longer made of transparent glass.

Instead, it is fully covered with thick metal, giving it a reassuring sense of solidity.

With a little excitement and anticipation, Su Wu stepped into the manufacturing center.

Take a closer look.

This newly assembled micro-mech appeared even smaller in size, not even much taller than Su Wu.

It’s not that engineering robots cannot build larger mechas.

Rather, it was the result of Su Wu's deliberate design.

On the surface.

The impending radiation storm brought Su Wu unimaginable huge benefits.

But the radiation disaster that could break out at any time after the storm was always like a sword of Damocles hanging over Su Wu's head, making him uneasy.

According to the worst-case scenario, Su Wu's shelter may be infiltrated and destroyed by the radiation disaster.

Once it gets to that point.

It's hard to say for sure, so Su Wu had to be prepared to give up everything and escape urgently.

And want to escape when the shelter is severely damaged.

Su Wu would definitely not succeed if he relied on his body, which had hardly received any professional training. He needed a mechanical device that could be worn close to his body and greatly enhance his mobility and survivability as a tool to assist his escape.

According to the original idea.

To meet this need, we should start with exoskeleton armor and power armor.

Although the exoskeleton armor is light, its defense, the number of weapons it can carry, and its ability to sustain life are all quite limited. It is only suitable for short-term emergencies, not for long-term travel in the wild and dealing with various extreme situations.

Power armor is relatively better, but the improvement is limited.

And its wearing process is a bit troublesome. In an emergency, it is difficult to equip it in a short time. If there is a lack of auxiliary wearable equipment in the wild, it will be even more troublesome.

And under the premise that no one is satisfied.

Finally, the mecha came into Su Wu's sight.

Mechas in the general sense, of course, do not meet Su Wu's most basic requirements because of their large and bulky size.

But in reality.

There is no rule that mechas must be built to be huge.

And once its size is reduced to the extreme.

Su Wu suddenly discovered that the miniature version of the mecha was actually the most suitable choice.

It has an independent cockpit, and Su Wu can quickly get in within a few seconds as long as the hatch is opened.

At the same time, because of the existence of the cockpit and seats, the comfort level is far superior to that of power armor.

Even if you drive a micro mech in the wild for a long time, it won't be too uncomfortable. You can even eat and drink in the cockpit without having to risk leaving the mech.

Also because it has a higher load capacity.

It can easily carry more weapons and ammunition, as well as more complete and even large-scale life-support devices that can achieve independent circulation.

Whether it is combat or protecting against harsh environments, it is far superior to exoskeleton armor and power armor.

It's like carrying a miniature shelter with you.

Perhaps the only drawback is that it is destined to be extremely expensive.

It is possible that the combined cost of several pieces of power armor and exoskeleton armor may not be higher than that of a micro mecha.

Recalling the motivation for making it.

Su Wu's eyes continued to scan the steel thing in front of him.

It is meticulously crafted through the combined efforts of engineering robots, CNC machine tools, and 3D printers.

The appearance of this mecha is seamless, and every detail is full of industrial and technological beauty.

At first glance, one would subconsciously think that it must be a flagship product produced by a cutting-edge factory in the future.

But actually.

No matter how good-looking it looks.

In essence, it is still no different from the props used in role-playing games or the models for children to play with.

It still lacks the final, most important step.

Use the system's survival points.

To bring it miraculous modifications and upgrades.

No longer hesitate.

Reaching out and pressing the almost mirror-smooth metal body in front of him, Su Wu silently recited the word "upgrade".

In his field of vision.

The survival point, which was originally as high as three digits, began to drop rapidly to double digits.

It finally settled at 27 points.

This huge expenditure figure made Su Wu's hands, which were pressing on the machine body, tremble.

The upgrade cost is a total of 135 survival points.

It almost far exceeded Su Wu's previous largest single consumption of survival points.

It might even be enough for him to start from scratch again and rebuild a new base comparable to the scale of the current shelter.

But this is to ignore the drawings, ignore the lack of a large number of basic materials, and forcibly upgrade the cost of technological creations far beyond the times.
