Chapter 138: All the fat sheep

Translated by me, edited by drpetro.

Ye Qing was currently facing three options. The first was to find a group that manufactured mining dump trucks and purchase the rights to their hauler’s base.

The second was to directly buy prebuilt bases and assemble the rest himself.

The third was make it all himself!

For the first two options, Huaxing Heavy Industry would be the best collaboration partner. Their group contained all kinds of mining equipment, and with how familiar Ye Qing was with them, they were definitely the best choice.

Ye Qing was in deep thought while lying on the Mechanical Engineered Chair.

Because he was thinking of creating them himself!

Since the base of those mining dump trucks were all specifically designed for dumping, even if Ye Qing were to spend big money to buy them, he still had to spend money modifying it.

And most importantly, Ye Qing could guarantee that Li Huaxing wouldn’t let go of the technologies without a fight.

The Caterpillar Group offered mining truck diesel generators for sale. There was also the choice between using Class 1 diesel and Class 2 diesel domestically.

The 2200 KW diesel generator was more than enough to satisfy Ye Qing’s needs.

The base required industrial scale forging technologies to create, which was completely covered by the advanced metal smelting center. As for the technologies needed to create its cargo hauler, brakes, and suspension, in Ye Qing’s eyes, they weren’t that hard at all.

Because if he couldn’t make it, then he could always buy them.

The Caterpillar Group was the world’s leading provider of everything related to mining, and at the same time they were the sellers of all kinds of parts.

They were already selling entire trucks, so why couldn’t they sell parts?

Coming to a decision, Ye Qing immediately called over some master artisans to discuss how to create the new equipment.

First came the name, Ye Qing wanted to call this never before seen mechanical monster: the Colossal……

The Colossal Excavator was definitely a no because Ye Qing planned on putting two Giant mechanical arms on them. The arms would naturally be able to mimic the actual movements of human motions.

Colossal Mechanical Machine?

Nope, that sounds absolutely terrible……

Colossal Mechanical Truck?

Although this suited the product, as that was what it was, it still didn’t give it a powerful image, which was what Ye Qing wanted right upon hearing the name.

Then Colossal Mechanical what, because it needed to sound fierce and powerful.

“Wait a minute ~” When he was feeling out those two words, he suddenly came to a realization. There was actually no need to tack on anything else, all that was needed was to swap the two words around.

The Mechanical Colossus!

Yes, that sounds perfect, the name even has the feeling that comes with it. The final version of the Mechanical Engineered Chairs, the Mechanical Colossus.

Next came the upgrade of the mechanical arms. With the previous experience of making the Mechanical Engineered Chairs, Ye Qing could rest assured in enlarging it. This step would be left for the master artisans to finish, which meant no shortfalls such as those left by Huaxing Heavy Industry’s engineers.

For example, forgetting to increase the number of screws after enlargement, failures in the strength of the materials used, insufficient designed power output, and similar mistakes.

But just how big?

What Ye Qing wanted from this product was to first use it to fill the industrial index so that he could rank up, then use it within the massive development of the Dragon Creek Beach later.

The arms of regular excavators were around 11 meters, and sometimes they were responsible for the movement of pipelines and mature landscaping trees, so they had a lift limit of roughly 5 tons.

Well, since he was going to make them, then he might as well as make them great. Thus, Ye Qing’s requirements were: the arms need to be at least 30 meters in length, and their lift capacity needed to be of at least 50 tons.

Then not only could Ye Qing use them like mobile cranes, he could also save a bunch of lifting equipment rental fees.
