058: Deployable, miniaturized powered armor!

“This is about it. On behalf of our CEO Meng Hao, I would like to invite Ms. Qin Muyan to be our chief online live broadcast endorsement streamer and brand ambassador.”

“Unlike the verbal agreement previously made between CEO Meng and you, this invitation, if you agree, requires you to come to Shilin to sign the contract offline, become a formal employee of Huarong Industrial, and have social insurance paid by us… The contract period is five years, with renewal upon expiration.”

“As for compensation, it will be based on a base salary plus performance review and commission… The basic salary is twenty thousand, and other compensation combined should be over sixty thousand.”

A base salary of twenty thousand?

A combined income of over sixty thousand?

My goodness.

Qin Muyan was a bit stunned.

The previous fifty thousand yuan was just a one-time deal.

Now, she was to be employed as a formal employee of Huarong Industrial, with a contract extendable for five years.

This meant that.

Even if Qin Muyan performed poorly.

She could still earn three million yuan in compensation within five years.

Moreover, given Huarong Industrial’s strength, her income would likely be even higher.

“I…”

Just as Qin Muyan was about to agree without hesitation, she suddenly thought of a potential situation.

“Does my job only involve live broadcasting?”

“Or will I have to undertake some other tasks for Brother Hao?”

“For example, secretarial or personal assistant duties.”

After asking the question.

Qin Muyan regretted it.

What was she thinking about?

Secretarial, personal assistant.

Wouldn’t that make her Brother Hao’s…

However, even being Brother Hao’s secretary or personal assistant didn't seem entirely inappropriate.

Brother Hao was so handsome.

So decisive.

So wealthy.

He could even directly establish a relationship with a Major General from the Russian military.

In response to Qin Muyan’s inquiry.

Cheng Hua smiled somewhat meaningfully.

“Ms. Qin, you are overthinking.”

“CEO Meng invited you not only to operate the live broadcast room, which already has a million followers, but also to help establish the corporate image.”

“To completely decouple Huarong Industrial from its connection with military enterprises in the public eye.”

Huh?

So, she would simply be a streamer and brand ambassador.

Brother Hao!

He’s spending so much money.

He could actually ask for some special return or something.

Qin Muyan, with her face flushed, didn’t know what she was thinking.

However, after hearing Cheng Hua’s description of her future work, she felt a strange sense of disappointment for no reason.

“Ms. Qin, do you have any concerns?”

Facing Qin Muyan’s silence.

Cheng Hua pressed on.

“Oh, no, not at all!”

“I am honored to receive your invitation, Uncle Cheng Hua. I will handle my current affairs as soon as possible and head to Shilin to report to Huarong Industrial.”

Qin Muyan quickly accepted Cheng Hua’s employment offer.

As for Meng Hao!

Hmph.

As long as they worked in the same factory and spent time together, strange sparks would surely fly.

After all, there would be plenty of time…

After all, to know each other’s depths and lengths, more integration was needed…

Thank you, old Russian friend, for the timely delivery of 100 million US dollars as a deposit!

Upon confirming the need to develop new products, Meng Hao immediately drafted a contract and sent it via the email left by Major General Gudiyev.

The main content of the contract was to convert the 100 million US dollar deposit into the purchase price for the first batch of Huarong Industrial’s latest export-version products to be sent to Russia.

The first batch would consist of one hundred units.

Then, depending on Russia’s satisfaction, they would decide whether to place further orders.

Major General Gudiyev’s reply was prompt and straightforward.

Without Meng Hao needing to provide any detailed specifications, types, or data, he directly changed the deposit contract to a pre-order contract… The only requirement was that the order must be delivered before the end of spring.

The first order for Huarong Industrial’s latest export-version product, for which not even a PPT blueprint had been finalized, was thus completed.

While marveling at the trust of the old Russian friend.

Meng Hao also received feedback from the system.

The progress for the non-essential target product advanced to 100 units.

This meant Meng Hao had earned 100,000 Tech Points.

This was what he needed most at the moment.

Personnel recruitment, production line expansion, and material procurement were all fully delegated to Cheng Hua!

The brand positioning of Huarong Industrial and related products would be handled by Qin Muyan!

Meng Hao could then disappear for a while.

Desert Base.

The long-absent main control console.

Meng Hao began R&D on Huarong Industrial’s latest product.

Meng Hao’s vision was for a fully enclosed exoskeleton armor similar to the Thor Hammer Mark V worn by Master Chief in the game Halo, and the fully enclosed power armor in the game Fallout.

However.

Based on the relevant parameters in Meng Hao’s armor blueprint sketch.

His ideal power armor specifications, size, and other data were to be taller, larger, heavier, and more complex compared to the Thor Hammer Mark V fully enclosed exoskeleton armor or the fully enclosed power armor.

The overall external dimensions would be around 4 meters.

The chassis would be entirely constructed from composite metal, with an empty weight of around 8 tons.

With the approximate outer shell dimensions and metal material determined, the next step was the four major components of the power armor, or rather, the small human-controlled mechs.

These were: overall machine design, actuator (mechanism design), power drive, and control strategy.

Overall machine design primarily referred to the human-machine interface system.

Meng Hao adopted a method combining gyroscopes, accelerometers, and electromyography signals to collect human body information for control.

Among these, he removed the neural interface control system from Huarong I, as that thing was too technologically advanced.

Directly reading brain and spinal cord electrical signals and converting them into ionized signals understandable by the photon core hub, this thing did not seem like technology that terrestrial humans could master.

Although muscle electrical signals were also technologically advanced, according to various professional forums, many top laboratories had already begun research in this area.

The technology Meng Hao exchanged from the system store was only a few years ahead of human technology.

This was acceptable.

The external sensing and judgment module of the human-machine interface system.

It would use forms such as lasers and ultrasound sensing to make judgments about the external environment.

Then, the collected information would be transmitted as ionized signals to the photon core hub.

And after real-time calculation by the intelligent algorithms of the photon core hub, it would be fed back to the operator, or directly assist in automatic machine operation.

The technological content of the components of the sensing and judgment module was also controlled within the scope of exceeding modern human technological civilization by 20 years.

As the second of the four major modules of the small mech, the actuator (mechanism) design.

Meng Hao’s plan was to simplify and scale down the relevant design of the Huarong I mech.

And the eight turbine jet engines on the inner sides of the mech’s legs, which were miniaturized and scaled down, would be transplanted to the sides of the mech’s abdomen, becoming retractable and capable of 360° parallel rotation.

This would provide vertical lift for the small mech, achieving Meng Hao’s envisioned capability for the mech to fly within a certain range!
