Chapter 148: This is real technologies
Translated by me, edited by drpetro.
“Alright, alright, I’m wrong ok?” Yun Jie, seeing that he had angered everyone, quickly switched sides: “My goal after graduating is to join the Monster Heavy Industry.”
“That’s more like it. Now, on our school forums, which one of them doesn’t use Ye Qing as their career goal?”
“Seriously, can you guys discuss something useful? Can someone go support the Creeper already?” Ding Feyuan shut down his laptop and unhappily said: “You’re like this, and yet you still want to get into Monster Heavy Industry?”
“For Yang Baihe, I must join!”
“For the senior’s thighs, I also must join!” [ED: Ye Qing slowly backs away…]
The two students, while still discussing their futures, walked up the man made hill and flipped the collapsed Creeper upright.
They all had their backs facing Ye Qing, and when they did glance at him, they only treated him as a sightseeing student.
After all, the Mountain Creeper was the baby that they, the engineering club, spent more than a month on making. Not only was it attractive, if it was on flat land it could even go 40 KM/H. Not attention seeking at all.
“*Cough cough ~*” Ye Qing pointed out: “Your vehicle, the wheel extension technique is an ok idea, and to be honest, automated balancing is quite easy to do, it’s just hard on an industrial level. However, for this toy, all you need is……”
“Who are you?” The club president immediately turned around and interrupted: “Do you know just how high tech our Mountain Creeper is bro?”
“And what wheel extension, this is called the adaptive tilt suspension system alright?”
“We’ve even got this patented.” Yun Jie started to spew some angry bullshit: “Daring to call this a toy, it’s not me boasting, but even if I gave you a year, you still wouldn’t be able to make one.”
“You guys have played with level rulers before right? You can take an electronic level ruler and modify it a bit, so that the electronic signal it uses gets replaced with mechanical movements and uses air pressure changes to maintain balance.”
“But this toy’s engines are too weak to carry an air compressor, so you can only make do with a couple of compressed air canisters.”
“I’ll admit that you have a great idea, but this baby of ours isn’t a toy.” Ding Feyuan couldn’t help but remind him: “This is a patented Mountain Creeper, and we’re even looking to modify it into an all terrain robot.”
“What’s your name and what class are you from ?” Ding Feyuan unyieldingly asked.
Ye Qing, with his sunglasses and casual clothing, looked just too damn attractive in the eyes of girls. However, in the eyes of guys, there was only animosity and the urge to be unyielding.
For example, these students from the engineering club, were completely angered by having their pride and joy be called a toy every time it was mentioned.
Although what you said makes complete sense coming from a different point of view, but can you make whatever you said?
We are the engineering club, possessing the best hands within the entire university. This Mountain Creeper even includes a patented technology.
This patent, is an honor, as well as a symbol of status. When told, who doesn’t look higher upon us?
“Yeah, which class you from? You just came out of the tropical greenhouse, are you from the science department?”
Ye Qing lightly swiped his fingers on the frame of the glasses. Under the amazed eyes of the students, an electric current like yellow wave, passed from the top of the glasses to the bottom.
After the passing of the electric current, the lenses suddenly changed colors, to a shade of light yellow, then it slowly disappeared to become transparent, in the end leaving nothing behind.
The lenses turned completely clear, just like they were polished by a master, and it let the club members see all of Ye Qing’s face clearly.
“Then let me introduce myself. I’m a graduate of the engineering department.”
Ye Qing played around with his 3D camera while causally saying: “My name’s Ye Qing. Exactly that sole creator of the Monster Heavy Industry you guys were talking about!”
The Mac that was in Ding Feyuan’s hands dropped to the ground with a bang. The remote control which was in Yun Jie’s hands also slipped out and dropped to the ground.
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.
