When he took out the experimental type 1 exoskeleton and applied for the national defense and military industry production license with the equipment department, sun Cheng did say that the cost could be reduced to less than 200000 yuan.


    However, it was only an intention after all. The performance requirements of the military exoskeleton mecha were much higher than sun Cheng initially expected.


    When the finally improved X-1 comes out, the purchase price of the ordinary military is finally determined by both parties at 264000 Xia yuan per set, and the enhanced version is 292000 yuan.


    This price [future Machinery Technology Co., Ltd.] is sure to make a profit, but the profit is not so high.


    After all, the cost of recruiting technicians and production workers in the production workshop of [future Machinery Technology Co., Ltd.] should be amortized.


    Of course, sun Cheng doesn''t care about that profit.


    Otherwise, if he really wants to make money, he will directly let the production of No. 1 and No. 3 bases, which have begun to take shape, properly reduce the cost of each set to less than 100000, and make huge profits several times.


    "General, in terms of cost control, we will continue to press down! But at present, even if we reduce it again, it will be up to two or three percentage points."


    Sun Cheng did not hide the whole production process. Whenever the production of national defense and military products is involved at home and abroad, the military or competent departments of various countries will send professionals to settle in. On weekdays, they do not intervene in specific management, but only do quality supervision.


    [future Machinery Technology Co., Ltd.] is no exception. Sun Cheng readily agreed to the equipment department to send captain Sun long, who had dealt with several times before, to serve as quality supervisor.


    Since the completion of the workshop, Captain Sun long has almost participated in the whole process of machinery procurement and installation, raw material procurement and employee recruitment in the future. In fact, the real cost of X-1 has long been speculated by the equipment department, about 20 to 30 percentage points.


    For military products, this profit is definitely not a huge profit.


    Because in defense and military products, products with a single piece profit of more than 100% can be found everywhere.


    Among them, some seemingly insignificant individual combat weapons, as well as various rockets and missiles, have the highest profits.


    In [TRANSFORMERS UNIVERSE], the gross profit of a missile sold by Raytheon to the military is about 180%, and the profit can even reach nearly three times that of castration products sold to several major oil producing countries in the Middle East, which can be seen in the profiteering tube.


    Major general Wen Yan just smiled and nodded gently: "Dong sun, your country also understands your difficulties!"


    He immediately cut off the topic: "what is the current production capacity of your company? How long does it take for military orders to be delivered?"


    In the future, the military orders for X-1 mechanical exoskeleton armor obtained by mechanical technology from the equipment department will be 27000 sets, and there may be another 50000 or 60000 sets of subsequent intended orders.


    Among them, the ordinary version is almost 20000 sets, and the enhanced version is about 7000 sets. Taking into account some emergency maintenance parts prepared, the total purchase amount is 7.6 billion Xia yuan, which is only slightly higher than the Navy''s purchase of a shield destroyer.


    However, considering the complex surrounding environment of the state of Xia and the military expenditure of trillions of Xia yuan every year, I''m afraid the state can''t wait to break a penny into two.


    Therefore, sun Cheng did not take the initiative to lobby for more orders from the beginning. What he wanted was a production license for national defense and military products, and took the opportunity to establish a closer relationship with the country.


    After calculating in his mind, he replied: "if the raw materials are sufficient, the two workshops can produce and assemble about 80 sets of mechanical exoskeleton armor every day. After the third workshop is completed, our final output can reach about 120 sets per day."


    "The equipment department requires us to deliver once every half a month, so before January next year, we can stably provide about 1200 sets of mechanical exoskeleton armor every half a month, and then increase to about 1800 sets in half a month! It doesn''t take a year for all orders to be produced."


    Unlike aircraft and warships, mechanical exoskeleton armor needs more than one year or even several years of training and running in period.


    After receiving it, soldiers can master the exoskeleton armor of X-1 after one or two months of training at most, so as to quickly improve their combat effectiveness.


    Obviously, the production efficiency of machinery in the future will still satisfy the general equipment. Stop talking about this topic.


    Seeing that major general no longer mentioned X-1 mechanical exoskeleton armor, sun Cheng would be pleased.


    This time, the equipment department sent someone to come, not only because the X-1 mechanical exoskeleton armor was officially manufactured, but also a very important thing is to come to verify a new equipment.


    Sun Cheng made an invitation gesture, took the major general and captain Sun long with him, and went to a nearby warehouse.


    This warehouse looks ordinary from the outside and is no different from a common warehouse.


    However, like several production workshops of future machinery, the warehouse is full of various monitoring equipment, and there are future science and technology security guards in the light and shade, as well as a team of soldiers stationed by the military, with a very high level of security.


    In the future, the warehouse will be used to temporarily store the produced X-1 mechanical exoskeleton armor. At present, because no finished products have been delivered, it is temporarily requisitioned by sun Cheng to show a new product to the equipment department.


    After they entered the warehouse, they saw two "monsters" with strange shapes, which surprised captain Sun long, who had not visited the Intelligent Machinery Laboratory for some time.


    Not to mention the major general from the equipment department, his eyes stared at the moment he saw the two monsters.


    "Dong sun... This is the new product you mentioned..."


    In the center of the huge warehouse, there are two strange metal monsters.


    They are big and small. One person is two meters and four meters long and only about one meter high. They are flat and stand there supported by six mechanical legs around them.


    The other is much larger. Its body length is about four meters, almost twice that of the previous one. Its body is also flat, about one meter and five meters high. It stands there supported by eight mechanical legs.


    Seeing two metal monsters in the warehouse aroused the curiosity of several in the equipment department.


    Sun Cheng led them to the metal monster and explained with a smile: "these two mechanical monsters are temporarily named ''special terrain handling robots''. We also gave them a nickname'' spiders'', which is a handling robot specially designed for the special terrain where it is inconvenient for motor teams to transport materials, such as mountains, hills and plateaus."


    "This small ''spider'' is designed to carry 0.8-1.2 tons of materials. Theoretically, it can march 80-100 kilometers at speeds ranging from 40-60 kilometers per hour in most mountainous, hilly and plateau areas!"


    "The large ''spider'' is designed to carry about 3 tons of materials. Theoretically, it can march 80-100 kilometers at speeds ranging from 40-60 kilometers per hour in most mountainous, hilly and plateau areas!"


    These two spiders were first put forward by several robot enthusiasts in the [intelligent machinery laboratory] with reference to the big dog series robots of [Boston power company].


    As we all know, Xia is one of the countries with the most complex terrain in the world. Not only the domestic terrain is diverse, but also the border line with neighboring countries. Similarly, due to the complex terrain, the living environment of border guards is very difficult.


    Therefore, researchers who are more concerned about the military, after knowing that [future Machinery Technology Co., Ltd.] affiliated to the laboratory is producing mechanical exoskeleton armor for the military, put forward whether we can use the company''s existing technology to design a transportation robot that can come and go freely without being limited by special terrain.


    They didn''t expect much. After all, Boston power, which is known as the most mature military robot technology, was very dissatisfied with the reply after several military robots were purchased by the U.S. military for testing.


    But I never thought that sun Cheng really had the technology of transportation robot in his hand, and he was very mature.
