Chapter 61 National Defense Committee Designates Research Directions

A few days later, He Kui, who had successfully been promoted to Class A in information engineering, submitted his application for promotion to Class A information engineering technology to the Skill Rating Center.

Coincidentally, the supervisor assigned to He Kui was Su Lei again.

"Director He, why are you back?"

The many radar team members who were just about to get off work were very surprised to see this former colleague.

I heard that after the other party arrived, the miniaturization of beam weapons was inexplicably completed.

No matter how you think about it, I have met a noble person.

A person who is taken care of by a noble person is also a noble person, so after being promoted to director, the expressions of each employee became obviously more earnest than last time.

"Hello, I'm here to see Director Su."

"Director Su? She should still be busy. Please take a seat."

Facing the enthusiasm of the crowd, He Kui smiled.

"Then I'll just go find her in the office, no need to bother."

After saying this, he walked through the office and went deeper into the room without waiting for anyone's response.

"It was quite lively outside just now."

As soon as He Kui walked into Su Lei's office, he was teased by the girl in front of him.

"Can you hear this?"

"My guess."

".But I didn't expect that even though I'm the director, I still need you to be my supervisor."

Automatically ignoring Su Lei's naughty words, He Kui said helplessly.

"Stop talking nonsense. These are the rules. Can you break them?"

"That's not possible. Fortunately, it won't take a month this time."

Being a director is not without privileges, and promotion to A-level only takes a week.

"My radar team has no room for you anymore."

"I didn't say that."

As he spoke, He Kui took out the lunch box skillfully.

"I didn't even tell you to bring it."

Su Lei took the lunch box seriously and said.

“I wanted to bring it myself.”

"Oh"

Su Lei looked at the lunch box in silence for a while, then whispered.

"I heard that the National Defense Committee recently gave your group a new research direction?"

"Yes."

Although the voice was a little low, He Kui could still hear it clearly.

"What is it?"

Hearing this, He Kui looked up at Su Lei.

"You don't have to tell me."

Su Lei turned her head somewhat helplessly and avoided He Kui's gaze.

"We are researching the energy supply problem of long-range beam cannons and the technical verification of high-energy pulse cannons."

Even if he didn't say it, people would probably know it soon through the Klein faction's channels, so it's not something that needs to be concealed.

"High Energy Pulse Cannon. Why did they give this to you?"

Su Lei asked in surprise.

The former is understandable. Long-range beam cannons are very effective for both long-range strikes and sieges. Since their warships cannot fly in the atmosphere, their firepower is equivalent to that of mobile warships on Earth.

However, high-energy pulse cannons and beam cannons are not closely related. Although both are weapons and look like beams, their technical basis is different. High-energy pulse cannons are the fusion and compression of energy, while beam weapons are concentrated laser optics.

Regarding pulse weapons, there was originally a relevant research group responsible for

"I don't know. I heard that this mission is the same as the one of the Pulse Group. It's a small competition."

Although He Kui understood the principle of the pulse cannon, he didn't really understand the details and didn't know how this mission was assigned.

Of course, the reward for completing the task is also very generous.

"He Kui, awesome! Awesome!"

Harrow, who was given to Su Lei by He Kui not long ago, was jumping and talking at their feet.

"Thank you~"

"But your Harrow system is more sophisticated."

Su Lei patted Haro's head as if she was going to pat someone on the head.

"It's A-level anyway. And this black Haro is a defense-specialized one. Other structures inside have been removed and it's equipped with three alloy extension shields."

It is much more expensive than an ordinary explosion-proof shield, a pure A-grade one, which can add 50 experience points. It is also the product of He Kui's painful thinking.

"Thank you. And you should have heard about the Nova Resource Satellite, right?"

"Got it. ZAFT will be using beam guns for the first time on it. I'm going to tag along, too."

Although they didn't have to go to the main battlefield, they had to provide a backup for the beam weapons, just like Su Lei did before, to avoid any accidents.

"I want to go this time too. After all, the last radar position has not been completed yet."

"Come again"

"This time it's the improvement of the shipborne radar, but unlike someone else, we are very busy."

"Okay. Be safe."

"You are the one who is so afraid of death."

"Ha ha."

He Kui laughed helplessly, thus ending the topic.

And just during the few days when He Kui temporarily regained his peace, ZAFT's materials continued to rise in price.

[Mechanical Fans] The purchase price of high-level machines was finally raised due to the protests of technicians.

Although the increase is not large, it is still a slight improvement compared to before.

"Director He, you are here~"

The boss looked at the big customer in front of him and said enthusiastically.

"Well, the brake material of the maglev car I mentioned in the communication before"

"I've prepared it for you. It's 80,000 in total, and with a 30% discount, it's 56,000."

"Ok."

Why did he only buy brakes? From the price, we can see that he could only afford brakes, which are definitely high-end materials.

As for the outer shell, based on his high requirements, it is basically impossible to buy it for 100,000.

Soon, he exchanged all the remaining money for materials.

"Director He, the cost of materials is a bit expensive recently. Are you sure?"

Most people would stop doing this kind of mechanical crafts at this time and choose to temporarily stop doing it. After all, it is a waste of energy to make these and sell them, but you won’t make much money.

Even though he is a businessman, this boss was annoyed by He Kui's reverse operation.

"Well, it's okay."

He Kui said while feeling heartbroken.

It’s really nothing, he just needs to upgrade, and time is running out, so he has to eat it no matter how expensive it is.

"Okay then. The materials will be delivered within three days, but our people can't enter the A-level area right now."

The boss smiled apologetically and said, who would have thought that this person would become a director so soon.

"No problem, I'll come out and get it."

He also has no shortage of handling robots.

"Okay, nice to work with."

"Well, it's a pleasure to work with you."

I don’t know if he is happy or not after receiving so much money from him, but the boss must be happy.

I returned home safely and saw that Shihe had already prepared the meal. The sweet and delicious aroma of meat wafted in the air, whetting my appetite.

"Welcome back. Tomorrow is the director's regular meeting."

Shihe smiled affectionately and put the plate of egg and meat rolls in her hand down on the table and said.

"Yes."

It was an annual directors' meeting, and the directors of the five major design bureaus in May City gathered in the grand and majestic Grand Hall of May City to celebrate the event.

After the exchanges, we will discuss how to upgrade the technology tree and award medals. Awarding medals to scientists who have made contributions is also one of the purposes of this conference.

"It's a pity that I can't go."

Shihe said regretfully.

"Sooner or later there will be a chance."

"But I can't see your awarding ceremony!"

As a pioneer in the field of miniaturized beam weapons, He Kui will indeed be awarded a medal this time. Although it is not the Nebula Medal, it is also the famous "Future" Medal in the PLANT scientific community.

But this is graded. He Kui got the first level this time, and there are second and third levels above it, and finally the Future Medal itself.

“Maybe there is still a chance~”

As long as he keeps going, he believes he will be awarded an honor again, although it is just an empty title and not many people will know about it.

But it’s good enough that Shihe is happy.

"Well! I believe there must be a chance!"

A warm and reassuring smile appeared in the corners of Shihe's eyes.

After finishing his meal, He Kui continued to stay in the studio. A Haro was lying alone on the table, with a data cable connecting it to the computer.

Looking at the slowly rolling data stream, He Kui sighed.

It turns out that learning the auxiliary aiming device is still too slow.

I need to replace my computer again, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with Star Wars.
