Chapter 302 Crazy Test

Williamson's face suddenly changed, and he said in surprise: "Tai, you want to conduct a five-level stress test on the energy shield amplifier? Is this too harsh?"

Stress testing is a unique testing method of the military. Its purpose is to test the maximum endurance capacity of equipment operating at full load under war conditions. According to different pressures, the tests are divided into one to five levels. The five-level stress test required by Thailand is one of the most difficult. The highest one.

Usually the military does not require auxiliary equipment such as energy shield amplifiers to undergo such a high-level stress test, because this kind of test is simply devastating. At that time, the energy shield amplifier will face continuous rounds after rounds. Impact until completely destroyed.

There is only one piece of equipment that can pass the fifth-level stress test. Even the equipment that is capable of withstanding this extraordinary high pressure is the top equipment with high price. The energy shield amplifier has never been in accordance with the requirements of the military so far. It has been strengthened in any way and the price is relatively low. According to its functions, it should be a general-purpose equipment between military and civilian use.

Of course, a set of top-notch equipment worth over 100 million yuan will have a better chance of passing this extreme test than an energy shield amplifier worth millions. Top-grade equipment will use more expensive products in the selection of materials, so even if Passing the fifth-level stress test is of little significance. The military will not equip expensive top-level equipment in large quantities.

To be precise, the five-level stress test is used to test the pressure resistance of top-level equipment used by special forces. Xia Fei's energy shield amplifier is obviously a popular equipment, so let it undergo the crazy five-level test. Even the most optimistic Wilhelmsson thinks it's a bit too harsh.

Tai said disapprovingly: "This company is small and pitiful, and it has no experience or tradition in supplying to the military. If it hadn't been for your strong recommendation, I wouldn't have considered it at all. The performance is not something that can be explained by just one test sheet." Yes, many companies cannot guarantee the consistency of product quality due to various reasons. We are the military department. The selection of equipment for the military is no joke. Performance is important, but more importantly, can this company continue to do so for hundreds of years? Continue to do so in accordance with the requirements of the military department. The suppliers of the military department do not only make one batch or a few years. Once this energy shield amplifier enters the procurement sequence, it means that as long as the alliance exists and the army exists, without it Until better alternative products come out, this company must continue to serve the military. No matter whether it is a hundred years, a thousand years or even ten thousand years, no mistakes can be made at any time. This is a qualified military* level supplier.”

"Since you want this company to enter the ranks of first-class suppliers, and this company itself does not meet the requirements, then it must come up with products that other companies cannot do, otherwise I will never agree to let a company that has just A company that has been registered for more than two years and has no funds and strength has become the combat effectiveness guarantee for the entire army. It must either prove that it is the best or be eliminated. The problem is that simple," Tai said in a deep voice.

Williamson and Leighton were a little suffocated after hearing a series of unquestionable words. Tai's requirements have always been strict, especially the weapons and equipment related to the strength of the army. It can be called harsh, but the energy shield amplifier is required to pass the fifth level of pressure. Testing, this condition can no longer be described as harsh.

Williamson chuckled, "Tai, I already understand your request. It is indeed not a trivial matter to equip the fleet with new products. I will arrange for a five-level stress test. So should this regular encounter test continue?"

Tai said: "Since I'm here, I want to see how powerful this energy shield amplifier that you highly recommend is. The stress test will be conducted later. How many samples did you get this time? Are they all in What channel did you get it from?”

Williamson said: "This time we got six samples, three each of the standard version and the enhanced version. A few months ago, the Advocate Guild purchased a batch of energy shield amplifiers. All six of them came from The inventory in their warehouse, you can rest assured that Quantum has no idea that we have obtained the sample and are testing it.”

It is also the tradition of the military to conduct tests directly without notifying the manufacturer. If the other party is notified and samples are taken from them, it is very likely that the manufacturer will deliberately come up with some products with excellent performance in an attempt to get by. Therefore, the military never inspects a certain piece of equipment when inspecting it. They are all purchased from the market, or like today, a batch is seconded from an already equipped guild.

Tai frowned, "Why are there standard and enhanced versions? What's the reason?"

Williamson smiled and said: "That's not all. Quantum Company's energy shield amplifiers are divided into four levels. The shield recharge rates are different, and the prices are also much different."

"The economic version provides a 25% rebate bonus, the standard version is 30%, the enhanced version is 35%, and the super version will exceed 38%, which is economical in price. The starting version is two million star coins, the standard version is four million, the enhanced version is 10 million, and the super version is 30 million star coins.”

Tai laughed loudly, "The person in charge of this company is very good at business. He wants to segment the market and target different customer groups. Those with money can buy the most effective products, which will greatly satisfy their own needs." For vanity, ordinary people can also choose cheaper ones, which are less effective but still affordable.”

Williamson said: "Well, this is a good marketing strategy, and the price is quite reasonable. The cl5 large energy shield generator we currently use costs more than eight million star coins. Adding a standard model Amplifiers only cost an additional four million per warship, and the bulk purchase price can be lowered.”

Tai waved his hand, "We'll discuss the price later. If you want to be on the military's first-level supplier list, you have to show strength worthy of the military, otherwise there's no need to discuss anything."

The encounter test went smoothly. The simulated warship equipped with the energy shield amplifier had a 32.17% increase in resistance to attack, and its battlefield survivability was greatly improved.

Even Tai, who has always been harsh, believes that the energy shield amplifier is a good choice for the army to improve its defense. Tai rarely praises others, and in his words, good is at least an excellent level.

He came and went in a hurry, and the leader of the alliance's military affairs was always so busy. Even his wife left because she couldn't stand the loneliness, but he still went his own way. , putting all his thoughts on the army, as if the army is his wife, and war is his favorite lover.

Williamson and Leighton escorted him to the door. Before boarding the battleship, Tai said, "No matter what, the five-level pressure test must be carried out. If two of these six samples can pass, I can consider making an exception and give him a quantum test." The company is qualified as a first-class supplier to the military department.”

Watching Tai leave, Williamson sighed and said to Leiden: "This is the biggest concession he can make. After all, the qualification of a first-class supplier is not a trivial matter. Once Quantum Company obtains this qualification, it will mean It will become a partner of the entire alliance military. Not only will the military provide strong financial and technical support, but it will also receive special protection from the military in many aspects.”

Leiden shook his head, "The remuneration is very high, but the requirements are also very harsh. The responsibilities that top-level suppliers need to bear are so heavy that ordinary people can hardly imagine that large quantities of products for the military must be produced by top-level suppliers designated by the military. , This is also the old rule of our military department.”

"The five-level stress test, the test intensity is equivalent to working at full load for five years in a large battle without interruption. Even though Tai has lowered the requirement to a one-third pass rate, I still don't think the energy shield amplifier is capable. pass."

Williamson smiled slightly: "I feel the same way. If you want to pass the extremely harsh five-level stress test, in addition to product quality, you also need a little bit of luck."

Leiden suddenly touched his chin and thought for a while, as if an idea suddenly occurred to him.

"Do you think Quantum Company is willing to sell its technology to other first-level suppliers of the military? They are qualified and have cooperated with the military for many years. If they supply supplies to the military, Taipei will definitely agree," Layton said.

Wilhelmsson patted Leighton on the shoulder, "Dear Admiral Leighton, assuming you invented the energy shield amplifier, would you sell it?"

Leiden shook his head and said: "Of course I don't want to. This thing has great potential. Even if the military department doesn't want it, other forces will buy it. The Adjudicator's Union heard that it is already preparing to purchase the second batch. The reason why it cannot become the military department now* Level supplier is entirely a matter of the company's strength. As long as we focus on development, it will become the standard equipment of the alliance army sooner or later. No one will give up such a potential product easily. "

Williamson smiled and said: "You and I have met Xia Fei, the backstage boss of Quantum Company. That guy is very shrewd. Of course he can think of things you can think of, so we don't even need to ask. He will never take it easy." Give up this patent."

Layton nodded and said a little frustrated: "Yeah, now that I think about it, that kid is really a monkey. It's better to wait for the stress test results to come out."

Xia Fei was wearing a brand new black dress, standing helplessly in the center of the living room, facing a huge mirror, and had to keep turning around and making various movements according to Avril and the tailor's requirements.

Avril held her chin with one hand like a focused little fox, "Well, the cuffs are a bit long and need to be retracted by 0.5 centimeters. The trousers are a bit wide and should be tighter..."

The tailor on the side quickly wrote down Avril Lavigne's requirements one by one to facilitate future modifications.

Avril nodded, "This set is almost enough, let's try the day dress."

Xia Fei curled his lips, "Isn't it enough to have a dress like this? Why do you still have to divide it into day and night?"

Avril walked up to Xia Fei with a smile and said, "Dresses are meant for day and night. Just to be prepared, I ordered three sets of day and evening dresses."

Xia Fei was speechless for a while. He usually only had a few sets of clothes in total. In order to attend Grandpa Avril's birthday party, he had as many as six sets of dresses. The only feeling is that it is cumbersome and everything must be carefully prepared, which is too troublesome.

Seeing Avril's serious look, Xia Fei suddenly felt relieved. It could make his beloved girl happy, so what's the point of being awkward?

Who would have thought that after trying on a day dress, Avril would ask someone to bring out a whole cart of shirts, bow ties, cufflinks, leather shoes, white, black, green, gold, in so many colors, and even the styles are different. Xia Fei felt dazzled.

"Is this going to open a shopping mall?" Xia Fei asked with a frown.

Avril smiled and said: "These are all things you need to use. You need to try them all."

Xia Fei had a black line on his forehead, and there were many things that Xia Fei had never seen before. He originally thought that a suit would be a good-looking outfit, but after seeing the things Avril prepared for him, he suddenly realized, what else? Far from enough.

At this time, the communicator on his wrist happened to beep. Xia Fei ran to the balcony as if he was running for his life. He unbuttoned his shirt and took out a red pagoda mountain from his pocket and lit it. He took a deep breath and felt relieved.

Thuram examined Xia Fei's outfit and nodded: "Avril did it? It's not bad, you look energetic, but you have a lot of white hair on your head, you seem to be a bit old."

Xia Fei shrugged and said, "Uncle, is it so troublesome for you to attend the banquet?"

Thuram laughed loudly, "I just wear the union uniform, there is no need for these things."

Xia Fei was slightly startled, and his heart was filled with envy for Thuram.

"I have two pieces of news to tell you, one good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" Thuram asked.

Xia Fei thought for a while, "Hear the good news first."

"The good news is that the military has launched a secret experiment on the energy shield amplifier you studied. The process went smoothly. The three giants of the military have already seen it, and even the most demanding Tai didn't say anything."

"What about the bad news?"

Thuram showed a very sinister smile and said: "The bad news is that you are out of luck. Tai believes that Quantum Company does not have the ability to supply the military, and requires a five-level stress test on the energy shield amplifier."

"Level 5 stress test?" Xia Fei asked doubtfully, "What is that?"

Thuram said: "I only know that the five-level stress test is the highest level of testing for the military. The standards are harsh. General equipment cannot pass this extreme test at all. The military and the Adjudicator's Union are two completely different things." System, this is all I can know. I heard from people over there that it may be difficult to pass the energy shield amplifier this time, so you have to be mentally prepared. The order from the military department is not so easy to accept. ”

Xia Fei was a little disappointed. He nodded and said: "Thank you for telling me this news. In fact, there are many merchants who want to purchase in bulk recently. There is no need to worry about sales. After all, the military is the largest arms purchaser in the alliance. You cannot become a member of the military. The supplier is always a shame.”

Thuram said: "You don't have to be discouraged. The result hasn't come out yet. Admiral Tai has always paid attention to tradition. He believes that it is only reliable to give orders to companies that have been serving the military for many years. The reason why I am worried because your quantum company is too small and the registration time is too short. It does not mean that the energy shield amplifier is not easy to use. In short, it is not necessarily a bad thing that it cannot become a supplier of the military this time. Let’s develop our own company with peace of mind first, and when Quantum Company has alliance-level strength, it won’t be too late to make orders from giants like the military department.”

Xia Fei smiled and nodded, as if his mood was not affected.

The time with Avril is always happy and short. It won't be long before he sets sail again, heading towards the distant black abyss star field. It is already a war zone. No one knows what is waiting for him, so Xia Fei cherishes this rare relaxation and will not be upset because the military department does not use energy shield amplifiers.

Besides, even if the military department doesn't use it, it doesn't mean that others won't use it. There will be no shortage of products that should be sold. It's just that Quantum Company's door plaque is missing a shiny "military department first-class supplier" nameplate.

Avril's cautious voice came from the room, "Xia Fei, can you take a look at this shirt first? I think the cuffs are best made of smooth alloy. Do you like its color?"

Thuram burst out laughing, "Boy, I'm almost jealous of you. Having a girlfriend like Avril will make all the men in the world jealous to death. Come on, I'm busy with you. I'll contact you if there is any news."

Xia Fei scratched his scalp in embarrassment, said goodbye to Thuram, and turned back to Avril.

"You decide." Xia Fei looked at Avril with affectionate eyes and said.

In the secret laboratory of the military, a demanding five-level stress test is under way. The test results will directly determine whether Xia Fei's energy shield amplifier will become the standard equipment of the alliance army.

Although Xia Fei said it was easy, everyone would understand that the military department was the largest arms purchaser in the entire alliance. As long as he could receive orders from the military department, it would be difficult for him to achieve success even if he didn't want to.

Furthermore, the value of the plaque of the first-class supplier of the Military Ministry has long exceeded the scope of money. It is like a talisman. The Military Ministry will more or less favor the companies that supply it for its own interests. After all, their rise and fall It will be directly related to the combat effectiveness of the army.

What is the most important thing for a business?

Reputation

What would be the reputation level of a company that provides standardized equipment to the Alliance military?

super

How much loan amount is the bank willing to provide to the military's first-level supplier?

unlimited

It can be seen that if you want to become the top company in the alliance in one fell swoop, producing equipment for the military is the fastest shortcut.

Whether this shortcut can reach the end now all depends on a five-level stress test being conducted on an unknown military planet within the alliance, commonly known as the ultimate test.

Leiden has been coming to the laboratory every day for the past two days to watch the progress of the five-level stress test with his own eyes. He stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window with a worried look in his eyes. The soldier's intuition told him that the army needed this kind of energy shield enhancement. Ketai's words also make sense. Huge orders from the military cannot be handed over to unknown small companies casually.

Williamson walked in quietly and said with a smile: "Are you here again?"

Layton curled his lips, "Aren't you the same?"

Williamson didn't say anything. They both felt the same way. They both believed that the energy shield amplifier would be an epoch-making new product.

"What's the number?" Williamson asked calmly.

"The fourth one, four energy shield amplifiers have collapsed in the crazy stress test, and now there are only two left."
