I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods

Chapter 552 140: Technology War (4,300 Words)

"Stop fooling around, let's hear the truth. We're all among friends here."

Upon hearing this, Yun You decided to drop the pretense and spoke honestly, "This was developed by my senior sister. It was once her pride and joy, but now she has given me full reign to modify it however I please."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yuanbao's eyes widened, feeling his heart race.

The two devices on the blueprint were undoubtedly priceless treasures. If put into production, the profits would be in the hundreds of billions.

For any equipment designer, such items are heirloom-level treasures, capable of safeguarding posterity and establishing a thousand-year legacy!

But now, Yun You's senior sister handed such a thing to Yun You without a second thought, and has given Yun You the unrestricted "modify rights" cherished by regular designers.

This is not just a senior sister, it's a godmother... no, it's a godmother!

"Uh..."

Yuanbao nervously rubbed her hands and cautiously asked, "Ah You, can you introduce us to your senior sister? No, introduce our senior sister to us?"

"Just an introduction, I promise I won't do anything out of line..."

Honestly, Yuanbao is quite proud and typically would never admit that her equipment is inferior to others'.

But after seeing the things designed by Erin, she genuinely admires them.

"Uh..."

Yun You scratched her head.

She too wants to tell Yuanbao, even announce to everyone that she has such an amazing senior sister.

But Erin's current situation is indeed too complicated.

How should Yun You explain the concept of "consciousness upload"? Rumor has it that many large corporations have privately researched similar technologies but have never achieved any results.

If they knew Erin succeeded, wouldn't they try to get their hands on her?

After careful consideration, Yun You decided to keep it a secret for now, at least until she becomes strong enough to protect her senior sister... and even help her find a new body, before revealing Erin's existence.

"Let's not focus on that now."

Yun You shook her head and pointed to the documents, "Can these two pieces of equipment solve our current problem?"

"Absolutely no problem!"

Without hesitation, Yuanbao nodded vigorously.

"Gunman Technology's 'Single Soldier Phase Shift Shield Generator' is essentially a type of energy shield, and Ah You's 'Strong Penetration Device' can pierce through that phase shield perfectly. Plus, according to the blueprint structure, it's very cheap to manufacture and can be added onto all weapons and equipment."

"With just these two points, we can mass-produce them, developing it into a universally applicable equipment like an outdoor backpack, priced not too high—about 100,000 since the estimated cost is only around 10,000. This way, Gunman Technology's shield becomes completely useless."

"We'll undercut their price, and our functionality far exceeds theirs. The only outcome for them is a total loss, bankrupting them."

"As for the second type, the single soldier exoskeleton..."

Yuanbao paused slightly.

"It's incomparable to the combat armor you've produced."

"As long as we price it not too high, matching their exoskeleton's level, or even a bit higher, we can defeat their forces so completely that they won't be able to recover!"

With that, Yuanbao pulled out her tablet, opened a stock market interface, and pointed to a glowing green stock.

"Look, this is Gunman Technology's stock. They have been operating at a loss lately to win votes, selling the exoskeleton combat armor, which costs 400,000, for only 350,000, and they've offered a half-year unconditional return policy."

"Although the head of Gunman insists they're not losing money, the financial reports don't lie. In just over a month, they've lost billions. If not for the Collection Clan subsidizing them from behind, they would've gone bankrupt long ago."

"We can use this opportunity to completely obliterate Gunman Group and the Collection Clan, bankrupting them completely!"

Upon hearing this, not only did Yun You smile approvingly, but even the other executives couldn't help but look at Yun You with astonished eyes.

They indeed did not expect Yun You—not just skilled in combat—also had such networking abilities, which made them admire her even more.

Of course, Yun You herself never cared about these matters, simply looking at Yuanbao and casually asking, "Can it be produced within two days?"

"No problem!"

Yuanbao rubbed her fists and nodded without hesitation.

"These blueprints are as simple as beginner tutorials; I'll just work overtime and can get it done in 20 hours."

"You can start preparing the new product launch now!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yuanbao picked up the documents and rushed out of the office, jogging all the way back to her workshop.

Although she typically champions the anti-overtime philosophy, encountering novel items and such exquisite blueprints compels her to delve into them in a single go.

Watching Yuanbao leave, Yun You turned back and exchanged a smile with Aurora.

The passive situation officially ended; the era of enemy assault while Huangxing defensively deflecting has come to a close.

The counterattack of Huangxing Group slowly began from this moment on.

...

Twelve hours later.

Top floor of the headquarters building of Gunman Technology in B District, Nest City No. 3.

At this moment, company chairman Enfield Collection was sitting in a grand chair, staring at the election support rate on the screen in front of him.

Under their vigorous management, the situation with second candidate Shen Ye was extremely promising, with support rates just 5% short of overtaking Mokaka.

If they manage to gather the remaining undecided mercenaries and Apprentice Death God into their camp, Shen Ye's votes can surpass Mokaka's.

With that thought, Enfield tapped the nearby pager and summoned his secretary, Gunman Technology Company's general manager, Yang Qian.

"Continue expanding the factory scale, maintain the preferential policies, and make sure to pull all the neutrals into our camp once the formal election begins."

Enfield casually instructed, "If it doesn't work, directly acquire a few OEM factories to produce our phase shield generators and single soldier exoskeletons. If the other party is unwilling to sell, apply pressure; don't be courteous to those civilians."

"Now that we've hit Huangxing Group hard, we must seize this opportunity to completely swallow their market and clientele."

"I want to wage a battle that they'll never recover from!"

Enfield spoke passionately, but Yang Qian, who truly managed company affairs, hesitated and didn't immediately follow the orders.

"Why aren't you moving? Cat got your tongue?"

Seeing Yang Qian motionless, Enfield was visibly displeased.

"No... it's not..."

Yang Qian quickly waved his hand, weakly explaining, "Master, do we really need to continue expanding the production scale?"

"Currently, we have 13 OEM factories under our belt, all producing exoskeletons and shield generators at full capacity. Although we indeed cannot meet the order deficit in the short term due to tight timelines, our annual production capacity is completely sufficient, in fact, there's quite a bit of overflow..."

"If we purchase more factories, while we can meet order demands in the short term, as time passes, once the bulk of orders are fulfilled, many factories will cease production."

"Additionally, you know, the production equipment for exoskeletons and shield generators is quite unique. All the production lines are custom-made, capable of producing only these two types of equipment. If there are no orders and we want to manufacture other items, we'll have to dismantle and remodel the equipment, which will incur significant losses."

"We already lost 4 billion provisioning for these two types of equipment, and have you been following the stock market? Our company's stock price fell by 7% within a week! Many investors don't see us favorably anymore!"

"If this continues, our losses will keep mounting..."

Yang Qian spoke earnestly, hoping his master would calm down a little.

Yet in the end, what greeted Yang Qian was a flying cup.

"Smack!"

Enfield threw the cup, unceremoniously striking Yang Qian's face, smashing his nose.

"Losses, so what?"

Enfield's eyes seemed to hold fire.

"That woman... Huangxing Group's chairman Wu Ming killed my second brother Winchester."

"I can't kill her but I'll bankrupt her, make her taste utter defeat!"

"Whoever dares to stop me is antagonizing the Collection Clan!"
