In the end, the transfer price of the military factories was lowered to six hundred thousand crystals before they agreed on the deal.

[Eight hundred and seventy thousand? You think your military factories have a stable source of income? Ordinary people would be unable to afford this, combined with the already limited distribution channel. Especially with the formation of the Sixth Street Bank, the wealth generated from the last two crusades completedly ignited the industrial fire of the Sixth Street. Workshops and factories appeared like bamboo sprouts. With the lucrative food business in place, it would be insane to use the money to expand the military factories.]

Zhao Chenwu debated with Jiang Chen for a while before he settled on a price. He was satisfied with a price of six hundred thousand crystals. With these crystals as liquid assets, he could further expand the trade fleets and expand the business further beyond the horizon.

But for Jiang Chen, compared to crystals, as the general of the military government, needed to consider the military aspect.

”Also, how is the development of the T-4 power armor?”

Regarding development, Zhao Chenwu's expression was rather awkward.

”Part of the technical problems are yet to be resolved; it is primarily related to the engine. The request I sent out to the two mercenaries groups to retrieve technical support has yet to progress…”

”Transfer me the research team as well then,” Jiang Chen said straightforwardly.

Since he recently incorporated fallout shelter 027, to the problem Zhao Chenwu couldn't solve, maybe it would not be a problem at all for the scientists that inherited the technology before the war.

Zhao Chenwu nodded. ”Okay, the research team is already part of the military factory. But to be honest, research is a bottomless pit. Other than the armor being a bit weaker, the T-3 power armor is superb in mobility as well as firepower, there would not be a lot of room for improvement…”

”Is it not weaker, but too weak.” Jiang Chen shook his head. ”Other than the armor in front of the chest, the other parts would be busted by a few scratches of the Death Claw.”

Zhao Chenwu forced a smiled, ”You can't compare this thing to a Death Claw, the defense is not the strong suit of the airdrop type of power armor. If the Death Claw is in close range, even the land type power armor would not be able to hold out.”

”Land type power armor? Speaking of this, is there a military factory that produces the land type at the Sixth Street?”

Zhao Chenwu shook his head, ”No, or rather no need.”

”No need?” Jiang Chen was slightly surprised.

”Compared to the cumbersome land type power armor, the airdrop type with high mobility and short range flight capability obviously are more fitted to explore the wasteland. For example, if a group of zombies surrounded the power armor, the airdrop type would be able to use the turbine engine to fly out, the land type would be stuck there being squeezed to death,” Zhao Chenwu patiently explained to Jiang Chen.

While zombie's claw and teeth could not break the power armor steel, it could use its size to squish the power armor flat.

[I see, so it comes down to practicality after all…]

The tea on the table was already cold.

Looking at Jiang Chen deep in thought, Zhao Chenwu took a sip of the tea and signaled Su Lei to add more hot tea.

”No need for the trouble, it is pretty late.” Jiang Chen glanced at the clock on the wall as he stood up smiling.

Zhao Chenwu also stood up and laughed.

”Are you planning to leave? I will send you down.”

”Oh, also, something else… I need another batch of firearms. Do you have any firearms dealer you can recommend to me?”

Zhao Chenwu paused for a second, ”What type of firearms?”

”Anti-armor weapon, heat sensor grenade, and sniper rifle, the more, the better.”

”Haha, you found the right person!” Zhao Chenwu was ecstatic. ”One of my old friends happened to visit me from Su City and asked me if I was interested in absorbing a batch of firearms. But I am not even in that business anymore, so he was troubled by how to get rid of his batch. If you are interested, I will help you contact him right now.”

”Then what are we waiting for?” Jiang Chen laughed, ”Just take me to him, I want to get this done as soon as possible.”
