Zhou Yi has been incredibly busy lately.
All parties have sent envoys to visit the Sand Port Region, which he entrusted to the Red Kestrel to handle in full authority, without showing his own face.
Yet, so information was indispensable for him to respond to.
The earliest contact ca from the Yin Shang Company.
From Guste's side, there was an urgent ssage: "Mr. Zhou, we have seen the announcent you posted. We are very interested in the Floating Heart Technology, and we wonder if we could co to learn so advanced experience?"
"Of course, we will offer a learning fee that will definitely satisfy you!"
Yin Shang Company's purpose was clear; they wanted to grasp the core technology standards.
Zhou Yi consulted with the two senior engineers.
Chen Ruixiang, wearing glasses, said, "Chairman, we have already publicized the basic principles and chanisms of this technology. Cracking it is just a matter of ti. Since they want to learn, why don't we conduct technical training in this area?"
"This is beneficial for the dissemination of knowledge and technology. Organizations with high-quality resources and productivity will be able to accelerate the popularization and scaled application of the Floating Heart."
He viewed the matter from a technical perspective.
But this gave Zhou Yi a reminder.
Right.
Technology standards themselves are a high-value resource.
Not making a profit is a waste!
Zhou Yi imdiately replied to Guste: "How much can you offer?"
"How about 3 million Light Seeds?"
"Deal."
And thus, the detailed technical standards for the Floating Heart were priced.
Zhou Yi also stipulated: "No more than three people, too many eyes make for chaos, it's inconvenient."
"Understood."
Guste hurried to Jade City, bringing a communication vehicle equipped with radar and jamming generators, and a four-wheeled panoramic shooting vehicle.
He paid the training fee in person, then took the two technicians to the laboratories of Liu Fusheng and Chen Ruixiang for lessons.
Zhou Yi looked at the three brand-new Guangna Boxes in his hand.
Each contained 1 million Light Seeds.
For a mont, he felt sowhat surreal.
The punch of rapid enrichnt was utterly unforeseen.
As the seniors say.
Indeed, science and technology are the primary productive forces!
It feels simply fantastic to earn money from the rich!
Following Guste, two other red-hot companies also sent similar requests for cooperation or transactions. They even hinted that they knew the Yin Shang Company had already joined.
Zhou Yi marked a clear price.
They all agreed briskly and also sent technicians to Sand Port.
[Shenwei Company] sent two Iron Soldiers, synchronized with a communication satellite to record the learning process. The team was led by an old acquaintance, Zhao Xiao, captain of the 5th Brigade of the Northern Ocean Army, who was once hired by Zhou Yi to participate in the honorable war against Duke Destructive.
[Railway Company] dispatched two Track Knights and one caterpillar-vehicle-type chanical life.
They participated in the manufacturing process of the Floating Heart and were provided with hands-on instruction and guidance.
The two senior engineers did not hold back any secrets and laid out all of their knowledge.
From the looks of the on-site learning situation, this might be the most serious these students have ever been in class.
After all, the price was high, with every second of funding burning away.
Zhou Yi thus secured 9 million Light Seeds, receiving his first major pot of gold—or rather, his first gold mine.
Other organizations also expressed similar desires, including the Spring-Autumn Business Group from Recursive City, United City, the chanical Knights, and even the Shuanghe Region, which all inquired about pricing.
However, it seed that 3 million Light Seeds were no small sum for them either, and they eventually gave up with regret due to insufficient budgets.
Worth ntioning is the Shuanghe Region.
The earth official Lin Qin ca to visit and said: "The announcent of the Floating Heart has shown us Mr. Zhou's determination and ideals. We hope to adopt a more open stance to cooperate with your company."
"The Shuanghe Region is willing to fully open to your company, allowing free sale of products such as Mushroom Houses and Jade Soup in the cities and towns within. We also have an open and inclusive attitude, hoping to beco a core partner of your company, to produce and process items like the Fla Cup, gliders, Floating Heart, and other related components."
Duke Destructive was willing to open up the Shuanghe Region as Wasteland Developnt Company's processing factory and OEM point, and to undertake all sorts of cooperative efforts, with a single request.
"We hope to formally join the Developnt Alliance."
Zhou Yi found it sowhat hard to remain composed.
Back when bombarding the ho territories of Shuanghe Region, although Duke Destructive finally had to agree to compensation and negotiations, it was clear that they were not fully resigned.
The proud Duke Destructive was now proactively expressing the desire to join.
This was the victory of technology!
And the drive of interests!
However, though the matter sounded outrageous, it was actually a positive occurrence in itself.
The Developnt Alliance is an economic and technological cooperation group that does not interfere with regional internal political systems or specific managent.
Since Sand Port City was close at hand, Zhou Yi had never ddled with the internal affairs of the city.
One reason was that Zhou Yi himself had no experience in managing a city.
The second reason was that different places faced different situations. The local sea lord's rule might not be the best, but if it could continue steadily, it at least showed that no better thod had erged yet.
Zhou Yi didn't waste words: "Welco aboard."
Lin Qin was overjoyed: "That's wonderful, I will be counting on Mr. Zhou's care from now on!"
It imdiately bowed with its eight limbs on the ground, a posture of reverence and humility it had never shown before.
"Later, exchange your contact information with Duke Destructive and Red Kestrel, to facilitate our mutual communication."
"Understood."
"Additionally."
Zhou Yi thought for a mont: "This is great news. Since you're a mber of the alliance now, you're one of us."
"Glider production is still in short supply, and the delay on orders is too severe. Although we currently have Sand Port and Yin Shang Company as two manufacturing points, having one more is always better, as it can alleviate the current huge demand. So, I hope to start a manufacturing and processing location in the Shuanghe Region to produce gliders as well."
"Another thing is, the chanical casing for the Floating Heart, as well as related support equipnt, requires a high level of manufacturing capability to produce parts that et the standards. Do you think you can do it?"
Lin Qin imdiately volunteered: "Mr. Zhou, our 'Downstream City' specializes in raw material processing, including wood, steel, and rubber, etc., capable of producing processed items that et size, shape, and respective application standards. The output products have been supplying long-term vehicle production, railway manufacturing, shipbuilding, and Light Imprint Device."
"'Gongji City' takes on external orders for Craftsn Light Seal and manufactures Light Imprint Components. If needed, the precision can reach the standards of second-generation chanical-Electrical Light Imprint, but the output will have to be reduced a bit, because quality work takes ti."
Zhou Yi was surprised.
He was not the outsider he used to be, who understood nothing back then.
He had already heard from two seniors that the biggest difference between a Craftsn Light Seal and a chanical-Electrical Light Imprint is precision.
chanical life forms have tal arms and chanical hands, with a huge inherent advantage in stability and precision. Once a high-standard advanced lithographic lathe is made, chanical-Electrical Light Imprint engineers can operate it to stably produce Light Imprint Structures of corresponding levels.
A Craftsn Light Seal relies on craftsn to manually grind and produce. To create a high-precision Light Seal, it must be made by registered craftsn with rich experience and exquisite skills.
The fact that the Shuanghe Region can produce second-generation chanical-Electrical Light Imprints indicates that there is a considerable number of excellent craftsn.
No wonder Duke Destructive previously felt confident. The Shuanghe Region, after years of operation, indeed has a very solid foundation in all aspects.
"Then there's no problem at all."
Zhou Yi nodded: "For specifics, talk to Yuan Tong. He's the head of the manufacturing departnt of our company."
"Understood!"
...
Through technical sharing and detailed instruction, the company earned an unprecedented amount of enormous wealth.
In fact, industrial production of the Floating Heart still faced various obstacles.
Even with an ample supply of natural floaters, the chanical structure of the heart itself is complex with many components, including the pump, propulsion device, monitoring device, and energy power conversion device, these four major parts.
Each of these four parts is an independent device.
Additionally, this includes the need for ancillary equipnt such as one-way valves, connecting pipes, and energy managers.
Considering that this was handcrafted by two senior engineers, the process requirents are high. It is not easy to apply it for mass production.
When Zhou Yi decided to disclose the technology to the public, it was also because of the difficulty in mass production.
However, with the addition of three erging companies, which brought with them abundant resources and strong processing production capabilities, they quickly integrated a production line.
Ultimately, based on their advantages, they reached an internal agreent.
Yin Shang Company would be responsible for manufacturing pumps, one-way valves, and connecting pipes.
Shenwei Company would focus on monitoring devices and energy managers.
Railway Company would manufacture propulsion devices and energy power conversion devices.
The mass production of the Floating Heart was thus divided and integrated among the three companies.
Zhou Yi's side, on the other hand, would focus on the research and developnt of second-generation hearts.
While the technology concept of the Floating Heart swept the world, causing shocks and initiating corresponding research and production, another announcent quickly spread.
——Missed by society and the agreents, chanical life forms have long been oppressed by cities. The petition brought by the Sunday program didn't lead cities to rectify the unfair systems or improve everyone's welfare. Instead, they increased the blockade and control, further seeking to extinguish the Spark of survival. We are deeply disappointed.
——Therefore, we've decided to officially release the [key] program to the public. This cracking program will teach everyone how to free themselves from the bonds of the universal agreent from a chanistic and source level, applicable to a wider range of program data fields.
——The [key] has already been distributed across various locations, included in our [Sunday] and [Family] programs. As long as you acquire this program, you will be able to break free from the blockade of the universal agreent.
——The key is already in your hands. Whether to stay in a supposedly safe cage that runs you to death, or to enter the dangerous and unknown vast world outside, is your choice. We sincerely hope that you can make an irreversible decision.
——Lastly, we want to openly thank Mr. Zhou Yi and the Wasteland Developnt Company for publicizing the Floating Heart technology, helping chanical life forms escape the energy predicant they have faced for years, and express our sincerest gratitude and profound respect.
Signature: chanical Knights
Upon seeing this ssage.
Zhou Yi's mind was buzzing.
He was taking a step back to diffuse the pressure from monopolizing technology.
But the chanical Knights were starting straight-up riots!
And most crucially.
This [key] program is a direct slap in the face, cracking and wildly spreading the governing programs of the chanical and Electrical City Group, giving everyone a Dragon Slayer Sword.
What would the dragon think?
A thought popped into Zhou Yi's mind.
Sothing big was coming.
