Chapter 254 - 254 Robot
254 Robot
The day after the university entrance examination, Li Chengqian appeared in the factory that was previously used to develop the lithography machine.
Materials were continuously transported to the factory by vehicles.
A smartly dressed Zhao Na was updating Li Chengqian on the situation. “Boss, the automated lithography machine factory is under construction. It’s estimated that it will take another month to complete. The entire factory, equipment and factory processing, will cost about 20 billion yuan to construct.”
“The construction of the automated factory is in progress. On the condition that we get sufficient materials, we can produce 100 units of Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine every month.”
“No problem. Just report it to me through the normal process.” Li Chengqian nodded. Twenty billion was just a number to him now. In fact, it was not very useful.
As long as there were good results obtained from this 20 billion yuan, Li Chengqian wouldn’t hesitate at all.
Moreover, the 20 billion yuan was used to build an automated factory for lithography machines.
Spending 20 billion yuan could bring at least ten times the return within a foreseeable future.
Zhao Na wrote down Li Chengqian’s instructions in her notebook and continued to update the situation.
“Boss, ever since we signed the purchase contract with the National Chip Company, many chip companies have asked us about the performance and price of the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine. Currently, Changxin, Jingdongfang, Jingjiawei, Huawei, Lenovo, Changdian, Unisoc, and other related chip companies are all interested in buying the machine.”
“Preliminary statistics show that the domestic demand this year is about 300 lithography machines!” Zhao Na smiled.
Even if they sold the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine at the same price as they sold to the National Chip Company, they would still have a sales revenue of nearly 60 billion yuan.
Coupled with the 10 billion yuan order from the National Chip Company, the total turnover was 70 billion yuan.
And now, other than the prototype machine manufactured by Li Chengqian, the factory had yet to be completed.
If these orders could be confirmed, the construction cost of the lithography machine automated factory would be recouped, and there would even be enough to pay for the raw materials.
The lithography machine factory of the Divine Dragon Software Company could be profitable in the first year.
This level of profitability was simply a miracle for the lithography machine industry.
“As I’ve said, you’ll be in charge of the construction of the lithography machine factory, the management of the lithography machine factory, and the sales of the lithography machine in the future. Just do as you deem fit!”
An excited smile appeared on Zhao Na’s face. “Boss, I definitely won’t disappoint you! I definitely won’t let you down. I’ll definitely manage the lithography machine factory well.”
“Mm, good luck!” Li Chengqian nodded and encouraged her. Then, Li Chengqian sized up Zhao Na’s curvy figure for a long time.
Zhao Na felt uncomfortable under Li Chengqian’s gaze. Her face turned red, and her heart raced.
Is there any woman who doesn’t yearn for love?
Especially when facing a wealthy, talented, and handsome young man like Li Chengqian, any woman would find him irresistible.
Zhao Na was also a woman. She had personally witnessed the process of Li Chengqian turning the Divine Dragon Software Company into a world giant in an extremely short period of time.
She totally admired Li Chengqian. It is normal for women to worship the strong and capable.
Therefore, she had already secretly fallen for Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian and her were alone in the factory. Li Chengqian was looking at her amorously, and this made her feel something different.
She was even mentally prepared for some things. As long as Li Chengqian opened his mouth or if Li Chengqian made a move, she would cooperate.
“Right, there’s one more thing… Zhao Na, let me inform you that your salary has increased! The annual salary is 10 million!… Why, looking at you, you don’t seem too happy? Do you think 10 million is too little?” Li Chengqian had thought that Zhao Na would be very happy when she heard this news.
However, Zhao Na’s eyes revealed obvious disappointment.
This was not what she had expected to hear. She had expected something else.
“Boss, no! I just feel that 10 million yuan annual salary is a little too high.” However, Zhao Na was very good at controlling her emotions. She did not show her disappointment for long before she concealed it. She revealed a faint smile and spoke to conceal the disappointment in her heart.
“Li Chengqian is terrible. He clearly wanted to talk about the pay raise. It’s clearly serious business. Why was he looking at me that way?” Zhao Na thought with some shame and anger.
“This method of teasing and then letting me down is really irritating!”
“Li Chengqian definitely did it on purpose. He must have seen the way I embarrassed myself just now. It’s really too much. This bastard.” Thinking of this, Zhao Na was even more ashamed and resentful.
But she didn’t show it on her face.
“Alright, it’s good that you’re satisfied. We’ll set the annual salary at 10 million yuan then.” Li Chengqian looked at Zhao Na’s embarrassed and angry expression and felt that it was especially amusing. However, he couldn’t continue teasing her beyond this.
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the side of the workbench. He tapped on the computer.
On the big screen opposite the workbench, a silver robot image. the kind that looks like science fiction, appeared.
It was an anthropomorphic robot with angular steel edges. It looked extremely domineering.
It looked like a Gundam, in fact, it was even more beautiful than a Gundam.
“What is this?” Zhao Na was immediately attracted by the robot on the big screen because it was so beautiful.
“A robot! Its name is Guardian!” Li Chengqian replied calmly.
In fact, the Guardian robot that was in the design stage wasn’t just an ordinary robot.
The Guardian robot was a war robot designed by Li Chengqian!
Of course, it was not just a war robot. It would have many uses.
In Li Chengqian’s design, it could perform domestic chores, or it could be an employee on a production line. It could also replace humans in extremely dangerous work.
When the need arises, specially-made weapons could be installed on it and it would immediately become a terrifying combat machine.
“It looks mighty and majestic!” Zhao Na praised.
“This is only a blueprint. After it is manufactured, it will look even more majestic.” Li Chengqian spoke as he operated the computer. The image of the mighty and majestic robot disappeared.
The robot was dismantled into parts.
Li Chengqian picked up the parts on the shelf next to him according to the parts displayed on the big screen. He then began to assemble it according to the prompts on the big screen.
The most difficult part, the design of the robot, had been completed by Bai Ze!
Moreover, in the virtual environment of the computer, Bai Ze had already carried out countless tests and simulations. Continuous improvement and enhancements were made after the tests and simulations.
It had already reached a point where nothing else needed to be changed.
He had to make a robot to carry out the experiment.
What Li Chengqian needed to do now was actually very simple. He had to assemble the robot according to the robot assembly map provided by Bai Ze.
This work requires very high installation technology and high precision.
Only Li Chengqian could complete it.
“Zhao Na, go and do your work! Don’t worry about me. If I need anything, I’ll call you.” With Zhao Na around, Li Chengqian didn’t dare to use many abilities, for example, when he was alone, he could lift materials weighing hundreds of kilograms like it was a bag of feathers. When he was doing the installation, he needed to be very precise as well.
But if Zhao Na was here, Li Chengqian wouldn’t dare to do this at all.
He could only use machines to carry the load and to assist in assembly.
Not only was the efficiency low, but the precision of the installation had also decreased by a level.
It made Li Chengqian feel very uncomfortable.
Originally, he estimated that this experimental robot would need a day to be assembled.
However, if Zhao Na was watching, it might not even be done in three days.
Zhao Na agreed and left the factory.
“Li Chengqian, this bastard, actually teased me like this and then left me hanging. He’s really… sick.” Zhao Na’s heart was filled with resentment.
