Chapter 1189 607: There Are Still More Good People in the World (3)
At this critical juncture, nobody would be foolish enough to trouble him, especially with Brother Plant watching over him.
Unlike others who were trembling with fear, Ji Jue, after finishing his tea and conversation, also casually went to the cafeteria for a bowl of fully-loaded pork chop rice, just like he was at home.
Then, before he was even done eating, the Federation Military Department's commissioner sat down in front of him.
Handed over a procurement contract and a pen.
Ji Jue picked it up, and after flipping through two pages, he couldn't help but black out when he saw that number.
He took a sharp breath.
He's numb.
"—Wait, how much?!"
Second-phase procurement for four thousand one hundred autonomous Peacekeeping Cats, all expedited, required delivery within a month.
The order also included a large number of armored vehicles and powered exoskeletons, enough to keep the just-expanded Sea Tide Military Industry busy until the assembly line sparks fly.
Everything included is just a bonus.
The real core demands were two completely hypothetical product services in the product catalog Ji Jue casually submitted before…
—Coast Technology planned to gradually release the [New Policing Drone Identification System] and [Anti-Drone System]!
The former could mark and alert any suspected armed dangerous individuals among dense crowds when drones take off for the first time.
The latter, after deployment, could discern and lock onto any suspected drone units at the first opportunity and execute RF interference once authorized.
All are police-type security devices.
According to Ji Jue's plan to outflank and overtake by curving, he planned to lay low for a while before competing with his peers, but unexpectedly, before he even started to introduce it, under Lv Yingyue's guidance, Sea Tide Military Industry had taken it as their flagship product and pushed it to the military department.
Then the process swiftly wrapped up, forcing the purchase.
They didn't even care that the numbers on the price list were filled in by Ji Jue as if he was using his feet, and blindly pressed zero with eyes closed.
Stop the nonsense, take the money, deliver the goods!
Immediately! Now! Right away!
No way around it, even if Ji Jue was drooling while filling in those quotes with his feet, the whole scheme was infinitely cheaper than other companies' offers, unbelievably cheaper.
Nearly half of what others offered.
Moreover, it involves almost no hardware modifications, at most adding a module and a verification box; these two systems can seamlessly integrate into the Federation Military Department's current main operational configuration.
The production capacity doesn't even need to explode.
Pure software, adding a few drivers at most depending on different devices.
Just need to deploy a few large local servers to provide sufficient computing power; the rest will have the Fly King's cats online 24/7 to do the job!
One cat spirit identifies, another confirms, and another can fill in the blanks while taking turns to rest.
Compared to the 99% accuracy rate and terrifying efficiency, what can the power and Spiritual Crystal consumption in a month count for?
Upon seeing the word "war," it represents overflowing stockpiling and wasteful consumption; no one would complain about having more or spending less.
At this critical juncture, no one can predict what will happen next, so the garrison base in Central Earth has already entered hamster mode, starting to arm themselves without counting the cost.
Fusion Bombs hang overhead like the Sword of Damocles, and they may not stop until Shekri is smashed once and for all by iron fists.
Under the massive demand and booming market, Sea Tide Military Industry, which was once invisible at the table, has entered a frantic development phase.
Holding the pen, Ji Jue sighed deeply, "Poor Old Lou, staying late and working overtime till you urinate blood, for our future better days, let's endure a bit more!"
Without a second thought, signed and stamped.
It's not over!
Right after the military department's commissioner left, the Central Earth garrison base's purchaser had already sat across from Ji Jue, also handing over the procurement contract and a pen.
Sign, Mr. Ji, this is the fate of a craftsman.
The procurer is the Central Earth garrison base, and the contractor is craftsman Ji Jue, with the required product being special Alchemy Bullets consumed by the Armored Knights.
Initially procuring fifty thousand rounds for trial use.
"Fifty thousand?" Ji Jue was stunned.
"I know, this demand is a bit large, but currently, every department needs them everywhere. The price is strictly regulated by the military department, and there's really no way around it."
The major representing the armament department forced a smile, "The General's intention is to have you bear the hardship first, and our base won't let our people suffer."
"No, what I mean is… fifty thousand rounds, isn't it too few?"
Ji Jue paused, shrugged, "It does feel a bit belittling."
Immediately, the whole cafeteria went silent.
All the Chosen Ones were dumbfounded, turning around to see which Heavenly Venerate was audacious enough to come here and show off?
Fifty thousand rounds? Too few?
You think these are copper-headed bullets sold by the pound!
At the next table, only Tong Shan calmly picked up his bowl and continued eating.
Unmoved.
The basic operation, sit down, this is just the beginning!
Even the procurement officer fell silent.
Wide-eyed, discerning Ji Jue's expression, trying to determine if he was joking, full of doubt, and only after a long while, did he ask: "Do you mean…"
Ji Jue slowly finished his pork chop, picked up his bowl, drank some soup, then put it down and repeated:
