Chapter 41 The Pain of Price Increase
As soon as He Kui returned home from the office, he was blocked by Shihe in front of the desk.

"Well, what happened?"

Looking at Shihe's excited expression, He Kui asked uncertainly.

"What's wrong!? You forgot the miniaturization plan for the miniaturized vibration components of beam weapons that you gave me!"

Shihe took a step forward, and their noses were almost touching.

"The data is not good?"

Hearing this, He Kui frowned. After all, it was just the first theoretical solution that emerged in the theory. The reason why he gave it to Shihe was to ask her to use the laboratory equipment to run the data.

Theory alone is not enough, it definitely needs to be supported by corresponding data, and in this regard, Shihe can provide He Kui with great convenience.

But if it doesn’t work, will the system crash?

Before He Kui could think of the worst, Shihe continued.

"What are you talking about! Your solution solved the problem of the oscillation component being too large that we have been unable to solve! The only difficulty we will face next is the improvement of the power component and the cooling system."

The miniaturization of beam weapons consists of only three components: the oscillation component, the power component and the cooling system. They had not even overcome the first of the three difficulties before, so one can imagine how excited Shihe was at this moment.

".It means success?"

A smile finally appeared on He Kui's face.

"A huge success! Look!"

Shihe raised her wrist, and a small projection appeared in front of He Kui's eyes, rolling continuously. It was filled with countless data that could be perfectly matched.

After taking a few deep breaths and suppressing the excitement in his heart, He Kui asked slowly.

"Does anyone else know?"

"There's only our director, but don't worry, he's a trustworthy person, and he's even thinking of poaching you from Director Su~"

They had to leave a record of the laboratory equipment they used with the director, and the director couldn't be unaware of this, so He Kui was not too surprised to hear this. It was just that it was impossible for him to go to Shihe. After all, Su Lei was also the key to his future, and this invitation was probably also to pull him towards the Sara faction. Of course, the other party didn't say it explicitly, but just gave him a choice.

"I still want to stay in the radar group for the time being."

"That's okay. He can't force you to come over."

Shihehe skipped the topic and continued speaking.

“When will the paper be published?”

"The sooner the better. I'll leave it to Shihe. Just list us as co-first authors."

He Kui could get a few more Hellos if he had the time to summarize and write those annoying papers. There is really no need to waste time on it.

These data were also produced by Shihe. There is no big problem with both of them signing their names together. Moreover, they are a husband and wife team, so there is no saying that anyone took advantage of them.

"No problem~"

Then the two of them sat on the sofa and discussed some things about academic papers and did not discuss this topic any further.

"By the way, do you have any idea about the other two parts?"

As Shihe spoke, she stuffed her petite body into the arms of He Kui who was sitting on the sofa, and looked at him with shining eyes in a cute and adorable way. If they could make miniaturized beam weapons in one fell swoop, then their advantage on the battlefield would be expanded. This was also Shihe's original purpose in participating in this research and development.

"Not yet."

"Is that so? But there's no need to be disappointed. After all, this kind of inspiration can come at any time. Maybe it will come tomorrow!"

Maintaining the hugging posture, poetry and comfort seemed to gently stroke He Kui's head, as if hoping that the knowledge inside would grow quickly.

Is this not urgent? Of course, there is no tomorrow. He still needs to go to work on weekdays. He can only send poems and a Hello in a day. It will take at least half a month for his theory of the next component to emerge completely. It can't be rushed. Moreover, it is only a theory. It still needs various experiments and verifications before it can be put into actual combat. I am afraid that it will take a lot of trouble by then.

In this way, He Kui's research has not attracted much attention for the time being. After another two or three days, the news that ZAFT is going to build Yakinduwei has spread thoroughly among the design bureau and the public.

Perhaps influenced by He Kui's previous performance on Earth, several of He Kui's colleagues signed up for this call-up. However, Yakinduwei is actually a large fortress with a battleship-like structure inside. It is an unfinished fortress, so it is impossible to live comfortably, and you have to stay there for at least a month. Of course, as Su Lei said, the income is indeed considerable. You can get a subsidy of 10,000 yuan a month without salary. For ordinary B-level design bureau employees, it is a very good treatment, and it will also leave a mark on their resume.

In addition, if an A-level employee signs up, he will receive a monthly subsidy of 30,000 yuan, but not many A-level employees respond. It is impossible for him to get past the director level, and the lower-level reserve talents and the director's deputies usually have a lot of work on hand. Only some newly promoted A-level employees will choose to sign up, which of course does not include He Kui.

Although he was spending more than he earned, and Yakinduwei should not be in any danger, he was making money for experience points. If he ignored experience points in order to make money, he would be putting the cart before the horse.

"Mr. He Kui is here~ What are you buying this time?"

When He Kui came to the Waste Merchants Association again, the boss asked with a warm smile as usual.

"Excuse me, what is the price of materials recently?"

He didn't rush to name the dishes. Although he had seen the news posted by the Waste Merchants Guild on the official account, He Kui still asked again for confirmation.

"It's increased by 25%. There's nothing we can do. Yakinduwei needs a lot of metals temporarily, and I heard that ZAFT can't transfer them."

"I see."

The materials have been upgraded for two days in a row. Considering that Yakinduwei will not be built so quickly, and several battlefields are gradually expanding, and his inventory has been almost half used up, He Kui can only replenish the stock as soon as possible, and he can still make some money by selling it.

"Twenty Hello, and twenty smoke diffusers."

After a round of menu requests, He Kui transferred out another 20,000 yuan from his bracelet with a painful heart. It was a pity that his A-level review had not been approved yet, otherwise he could have gotten a lower price.

“Just take the transport channel.”

Recently, I saw in the news that the bandit gang that boasted about colonizing the satellite was finally arrested, so he doesn't have to worry about his goods being robbed for the time being.

"it is good."

The boss readily agreed and then continued chatting with He Kui.

"Won't Mr. He Kui apply to go to Yakinduwei?"

"No, I'm still preparing for the A-level review."

"Class A."

The boss's face changed when he heard this.

"Are you sure, Mr. He Kui?"

"I heard that the assessment is becoming stricter every year."

While trading the materials to He Kui, the boss continued to ask in a more enthusiastic voice.

"Just waiting for your 30% discount."

"Haha, then I look forward to hearing good news from Mr. He Kui. By the way, in that case, is Mr. He Kui interested in registering as a partner of our Waste Merchants Association?"

"Partner?"

He Kui asked in confusion.

"In fact, it is to provide us with some development ideas and other technical assistance. Of course, it will not delay Mr. He Kui's main work, and as long as the plan is successful, there will be compensation."

"I see. Please let me think about it again."

It sounds like the quest wall in old games, but to be on the safe side it would be better to ask Su Lei's opinion.

"Okay, walk slowly!"

It has to be said that He Kui is a little uncomfortable with the boss's enthusiasm now.
