Chapter 80: Being painted

In recent days, He Kui's wealth has begun to decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye.

There's no other reason, the price of materials has never come down.

Because of the nova transformation, even if the mineral detection technology is added, it will still be of little use.

Not to mention that the updating of mineral radar itself is a slow process.

Most of the Jin En on the battlefield are still using live ammunition.

Not to mention the mining industry, which is less important.
At first, his idea of ​​reducing the price of materials in a short period of time by replacing mining power suits with small mobile suits was a bit idealistic.

However, he had anticipated that if the price did not drop, he would still get paid for completing the project, and there would always be a reward if the research and development was successful.

It can also connect him with mining companies outside, so it won't be a big loss for him except that it's a waste of time.

After all, the money you get can be exchanged for materials, and the price of materials will always decrease, although the process is a bit slow.

"Deputy Director, as you can see, I have completed part of the structure of the high-energy pulse cannon."

In the deputy director's office, He Kui turned off the data stream on the screen and said.

"Yes, you have completed more than half of the development progress, right?"

“Only half.”

I'm not kidding, that's really only half of the basic theory, the rest is just a temporary patchwork of other people's ideas.

"Recently, the high-energy pulse cannon prototype of the Pulse Group has suffered a fatal flaw. It should be a problem at the root. Are you sure your solution can be used?"

As the deputy director, she was also anxious. Seeing that several research projects had not made any progress, she naturally felt a lot of pressure.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. If you don't have the ability, then just wait to be plucked out.

So she transferred the pressure to directors such as He Kui.

The director then transferred the pressure to ordinary engineers.

As the transfer progressed layer by layer, the entire design bureau gradually began to show signs of instability.

This put pressure on her as the deputy director, putting her in a dilemma.

"I'm not sure, but I think it's more stable than the pulse group's solution, and the possibility of explosion is low. Of course, I can't predict it now that the generator has not been fully researched."

"Okay, as soon as possible. If this research goes well, it can also be a stepping stone for you to move up."

Although he said so, it seemed that Director Erin was just making empty promises for him.

Even the position of director reserve was not promised to him.

And if he doesn't reach this position, he won't be able to get any higher.

"I understand, but"

He Kui lowered the volume at the right time.

"Just what?"

"After all, we are in a relatively unfamiliar field, and the brothers and sisters in the group have been having a hard time recently."

"If your team can develop it first, I can raise your bonus to 200,000, and the deputy director to 100,000. Of course, your team members can also get 30,000."

"it is good!"

Hearing this, He Kui smiled. His purpose of coming here to argue with the deputy director using a theory that was only half unlocked was finally achieved.

"How about it?"

As soon as I returned to the office, Shihe came up to me.

"Good, keep working hard. If you succeed, everyone's bonus will be increased."

"Great!"

Hearing this, smiles appeared on the faces of other employees in the office.

So, even if you are a battle fanatic, you will still be happy to hear that there will be more bonuses.

"So Director He, can we sign up for this new star transformation?"

One of the girl group members asked in a light voice.

"Okay, two places."

He Kui was in a good mood at this time, and spoke more easily. "Then I'll go!"

"I also!"

"I've already signed you up, and you guys, do you want to go?"

He Kui looked at the three new engineers.

"Director He, we won't be using it for the time being."

The three of them smiled and said.

"Okay then, the specific candidate will be randomly selected."

After saying this, He Kui returned to his office without further ado.

And Shihe also followed He Kui in.

"ZAFT should be preparing to shrink its front line recently."

Shihe said as soon as he came in.

Both Nova and Yakinduvina are means of protecting themselves.

Shihe was dissatisfied with this, or perhaps the entire Sara faction was not very satisfied with it.

"Yes."

It is true that the two sides are in a stalemate at the moment, but the problem is that if the Earth Federation also develops MS, then ZAFT's technological advantage will not be completely wiped out, but it will definitely be infinitely narrowed.

The Earth Union's population is an overwhelming advantage over them. Even if they kill chickens, they may not be able to kill them all in a year, let alone humans.

In order to protect himself, He Kui hopes that ZAFT will win.

It is not safe to move to Orb now, because Orb might "self-destruct" in the future.

He Kui still remembers the plot where freedom and justice go hand in hand.

According to reasonable logic, after the self-destruction, Orb will definitely be taken over by the Earth Alliance. If he still stays in Orb at that time, he will definitely be persecuted.

If he wants to stay here, losing the war is not an option. Economic collapse is secondary, and not wanting to eat synthetic meat is also secondary. The key is that he may even lose his life.

"From what Speaker Klein said, he probably wants to use this time to prepare for peace talks."

"We should have taken advantage of the victory!"

Shihe said repeatedly while gritting his teeth.

“But their approval ratings are not low.”

Klein naturally represents the voice of peace-seeking within PLANT, and his current support rate is 43%.

In other words, nearly half of the people in PLANT feel that there is no need to continue fighting with the Earth Alliance, and maintaining the status quo is fine.

They have already protected PLANT, and there are two military fortresses, Nova and Yakinduwi, defending outside. The nuclear reaction of the earth has also been suppressed. If this continues for a long time, they will definitely rely on PLANT's resources again.

It seemed like a beautiful blueprint, but He Kui knew that a ceasefire was impossible at this stage.

And he also had to climb up faster so that he could better protect himself and them.

After all, as a director, he still needs to act according to the deputy director's mood, so how can he be independent?

"Shihe! Let's continue tonight!"

"Good~"

After hearing this, Shihe did not think wrongly this time.
She has now signed up for A-level promotion, and He Kui is her supervisor.

The question of whether the application will be rejected because the supervisor has a relationship with the person who registered is not true. He Kui himself is also responsible for the outcome of the poem.

And there is a video recording, so no one would be so foolish as to fake it.

"After Shihe A-level, we can progress faster!"

There is anticipation for the future in He Kui's eyes.

Shihe A-level can take on most of the work as the director, and he can also devote more of his attention to his own work.

"Yeah~"

Shihe nodded affectionately.
