Chapter 148: This is real technologies (2/2)

A student who was wearing glasses, was shocked to the point where even his eyes were about to pop out, and he even almost stuck his fingers into his camera lense.

This young, good looking man in front of them, was actually their final career target. Moreover, he was the creator of the glorious Monster Heavy Industry that they all wanted to get into?

Just with the pair of never before seen high tech glasses, the students were already 70% believing.

He couldn’t blame them for not recognizing him. Although many graduates from the university had joined Monster Heavy Industry and were working under Ye Qing and were always showing off what was happening inside the company on their friends circle, Ye Qing was their Overlord at work, so taking pictures of the boss and posting it in their friends’ circle was something only the unprofessional would do.

“President Ye, President Ye!” The vice principal oncall, ran over with ragged breath and drenched in sweat without even going into the greenhouse: “President Ye, I got a couple of baskets for you to fill with fruits.”

“No need, no need. You’re just being too kind.” Ye Qing shook his hand, how could he go pick those fruits?

“Hey you, engineering club over there.” The vice principal in a ‘you’re so damn lucky’ tone: “This is the infamous President Ye. If you’re able to get some pointers from him, then you’re pretty much guaranteed to will all of this year’s competitions.”

“This toy has some great ideas.” Ye Qing looked at them and smiled: “Now go try your hardest and make the balancer for this toy a reality.”

Having said his piece, Ye Qing, under the looks of frantic enthusiasm from the students, in clearly casual, yet seemingly confident, steps, walked out with the vice principal.

“Shit, shit, I forgot to record all of that down.” Ding Feyuan was patting himself like mad: “Damn it, I totally missed out the bragging materials. Now they definitely won’t believe that I had a discussion with Ye Qing.”

“Such glory, much honor! Our Mountain Creeper was actually called a toy by Ye Qing.”

…………………………

Before Ye Qing left, the vice principal invited him to come back for a seminar for all the students when school opens.

“Sure, sure, I’ll definitely come when you open for school.” Ye Qing wasn’t completely unable to handle his warmth and politeness.

Having returned back to the Dragon Creek Beach, Ye Qing uploaded the coconut tree picture from the camera and asked the master artisans to make them.

Over on the prototype Mechanical Colossus, two master artisans were already busy installing all the suggestions, while two others were planning out the details for the enlarged 150 ton version.

Today, with the 250 million down payment he received, Ye Qing straight up ordered 10 sets of Caterpillar’s 2200 KW diesel engines as well as the associated tires and whatnot.

These were the engines specifically tailored for Caterpillar’s 797 Haulers. Don’t mention moving the 150 ton Colossus, even moving the fully loaded, over 500 ton 797, was no problem. With these engines, the Mechanical Colossus would be completely unrivaled in terms of strength.

However, comparatively, their prices were also staggering. Just these 10 sets of equipment cost Ye Qing a bit over 100 million.

At the same time, the Monster Factory rankings rose by one again, to 12th place.

This was generally how money gets burned in the industry. The tires Ye Qing planned on using were one of biggest ones ever marketed by Michelin, specifically designed for heavy duty purposes.

A single tire was basically worth a mass marketed BMW 3 series.

Its fuel usage was also quite shocking: eight liters per kilometer. [Tl: that’s about 3ish gallons per mile.]

But Ye Qing believed that the final product, once completed, would be a true steel power. Its attack was definitely beyond 10k.

Ye Qing also discussed with the master artisans about how to reduce the weight of the control system. For example, using light weight alloy to create the support system, and using a style like Tony’s Iron Man suit so that the majority of the weight is transferred from the arms onto the waist and shoulders.

That way, the total weight that needed to be lifted wouldn’t even break five kilos. Any normal adult would now be able to operate for several hours without becoming tired.

There were really no difficulties in changing this, so he put it on the schedule. Ye Qing then got a call from his dad.

Within the call, he asked if Ye Qing had any familiar construction companies. On his side, he wanted to expand the factory, so he found a construction company to take care of it, yet in the end what he found was that they made completely shoddy works.

Ye Jiangning was looking for familiar people to switch to for the constructions, hence the call.
