Lulu is a genius. Wisdom is not the same as intelligence in her attributes. She can become Daryl's technical director at the age of over a hundred. She undoubtedly possesses genius wisdom in certain aspects of magical technology.
You know, the reason why Aoi and Rin were arranged to manage internal affairs is because Mu Hua's positioning of their functions would be difficult to perfect by spending money alone.
Rin needs to study alchemy, while Aoi needs to learn magical technology. All in all, Aoi has lived on the Abyss Island for not much less years than Lulu. But let alone design optimization, Aoi can only imitate standard military mechas at most now.
"It's fine if we really want to trade. I need energy unit production equipment, mecha armor production lines, and raw materials for making high-level exorcism bullets."
Maybe geniuses have weird trains of thought. Mu Hua couldn't quite understand Lulu's persistence in buying the warp potion.
However, Mu Hua still showed enough understanding to this kind of genius, and did not make any final statements. Mu Hua put forward his own demands, and this kind of non-monetary or specific token transaction would greatly reduce the acquisition of transaction compensation.
After a detailed understanding, the devil's deal still has many strict rules.
"...Mu, Daryl is a complete military-industrial group after all. Are you sure it is appropriate to come to Daryl to buy raw materials?" Lulu had a strange expression.
"The energy unit production equipment is fine, but Daryl would never sell an arms production line. You are simply crossing Daryl's bottom line. Maybe it would appear more decent if you just rob it." Lulu complained.
"You should know that I have no shortage of technicians and workers, and my purchasing preference will only be for raw materials. Continuing to purchase finished armaments is not in my long-term interest." Mu Hua shook his head.
Lulu frowned. She knew that Mu Hua and Abigail had teamed up to recruit many technicians from the Great Gobi Desert in the early years. She also knew that Mu Hua had taken away many ghosts with professional skills. It was no secret that the skeleton warriors in Qindu who were responsible for the maintenance of armaments were no longer a secret.
She had mentioned before that it was not in Mu Hua's long-term interests to hire ghosts and gods. Now, unless there was an emergency, Mu Hua could not continue to purchase finished weapons that would inevitably be damaged in battle and would inevitably involve more subsequent maintenance.
Obviously, Mu Hua wants to build his own military-industrial system.
"Aren't you being a little too impatient?" Lulu retorted.
The establishment of a power involves many aspects and requires the investment of resources. There are too many places where manpower and material resources need to be invested. Many reasonable situations will inevitably be taken for granted in actual operations. Everything must be prioritized.
Many old-established brigades and groups dare not easily get involved in the military industry, not to mention sales, just talking about self-production and self-use. In addition to the technical aspects, the energy supply core of heavy machinery is the top priority. Generally speaking, a stable magic core purchasing channel is indispensable.
When all these matters come together, there are also risk factors involved. In many cases, it is better to purchase directly from arms dealers than to build military industry on your own.
"Is it too eager for quick success? I have the manpower anyway, and they might as well be idle." Mu Hua said indifferently. He did lack combat units, but he did not lack production personnel.
Perhaps it is not possible to let those skeleton warriors engage in research and development, but as long as the production line is in place, the technician ghosts he had swept away from the desert earlier can help him to produce unlimited amounts of technician-style skeleton warriors.
As for the magic cores... he could just fish them out of the abyss. Anyway, the demand for food and nutrient solution was growing. The production capacity of the Kanes feed factory and nutrient solution processing plant had increased, and smelting involved the issue of 'freshness preservation'. He couldn't smelt all those monsters.
For those monsters that Mu Hua really wanted to be lazy and didn't want to melt, his magic cores were dug out, his claws were removed, and the parts that could be used for potion alchemy were removed. His flesh and blood were pushed into the processing plant, and his bones could be made into ashes for the individuals who had learned skeleton transformation.
There is basically no problem of waste. Monsters will suck the marrow out of humans when they catch them, but humans are not so kind when they catch monsters.
In other words, no matter whether it is a monster or a human, the law of the jungle is a common trait of all living things.
"..." Lulu was silent. These words sounded so familiar. She suddenly felt that she deserved a beating for saying "rich" in front of Mu Hua.
"Then there's nothing to talk about. Daryl's raw material purchasing unit is too busy to sell raw materials. As for the production line, the group only accepts franchise cooperation. Otherwise... should we change the form?" Lulu pondered.
"kindness?"
"I have some design patents, as well as some plans for the development and optimization of mecha airships. I own all of these. Maybe I can provide you with some technical support?" Lulu suggested.
"Hmm..." Mu Hua frowned and pondered.
Mu Hua didn't care about design patents. The Naden Group had been engaged in piracy for so many years. If Daryl hadn't taken advantage of the situation, he would have still ignored them.
Even if he copied Daryl Group's products, Mu Hua would not sell them to outsiders and would only use them for himself, so Daryl Group would not be able to find trouble with him.
If you really want to cause trouble for him, regardless of whether it makes sense or not, at least among the upper echelons, some rumors about Daryl's ugly behavior will inevitably spread. The so-called patent protection is basically nonsense in front of a certain level of existence. It is your ability to make it. Only when you use it to harm other people's markets, you may be targeted and disliked by many parties.
However, Lulu's R&D and design plan made Mu Hua a little tempted. Why did she become Daryl's technical director? She participated in the R&D and manufacturing of some of Daryl's military products, and even designed some of them.
Whether it is magic or wizardry, they are not static, they are constantly innovating and keeping up with the times. Even compared to wizardry technology, magic is still a relatively mature and solidified power system.
The design that Lulu can boast about at least has certain advantages over similar products on the market.
Mu Hua's eyes darted from head to toe over Lulu. The topic this woman brought up was not about her design, but about... her as a person.
"You... Ha, you're not trying to poach me, are you? Come on, I'm quite satisfied with my current life, and Daryl won't let go of a shareholder of my level easily." Lulu smiled, her ears itching from being stared at by Mu Hua, as if she had thought of something.
"..." Mu Hua rolled his eyes. Well, listen, listen, she started out by saying she was a shareholder, Daryl's shareholder. In the series of people who don't want to work hard, this girl should be considered a good aunt at the ceiling level.
"Everything can be discussed. Come to my side and I will promise you a higher level of life." Mu Hua was thinking about it and trying it out, but some things could not be said too clearly.
"Hehe, you really dare to say that." Lulu shook her head in question and raised a finger.
"A set of optimization solutions to improve the charging speed of the Demon-annihilating Cannon by 20%, a set of top-level mecha design drawings that can accurately output 8,000 units of strength, a set of optimization solutions for magic cannons with 3% energy efficiency, and a set of Daryl's top-level series of mecha design drawings for air and land combat."
"How about exchanging these for two doses of transition potions? I can help guide the research and development." Lulu said, counting on her fingers.
“…”Mu Hua stared at Lulu with a questioning look.
"Ahem...how about one?"
Well, Mu Hua didn't know much about magical technology, nor did he know the value of these blueprints, but when he heard Lulu asking for two doses of the jump potion, he suspected that this girl was asking for an exorbitant price.
Seeing Lulu's embarrassed expression appear so quickly, it seems that this girl is not good at doing business. She probably believes in bargaining in transactions. Mu Hua is a little suspicious that she herself may not be clear about the value of those design plans.
"I purchased the magic weapons just for the transition. To be honest, the future development direction of my military force must be individual combat power combined with magic equipment."
"The high-consumption magic system will be eliminated from the main battle sequence sooner or later in my place."
"I'm not planning on making a living in the arms business. Your blueprints don't mean much to me. Maybe making some heavy and durable tanks and mechas will be enough for me." Mu Hua said half-truthfully.
"..." Lulu rolled her eyes, but judging from the outside world's analysis of Mu Hua's power, Lulu was unable to refute it.
It's not that Mu Hua doesn't want to make a living in the arms business. Even if he does, he has to be better than those old arms dealers. He has no advantage at all in this regard.
"How about this? I see you're usually pretty busy, so how about I create a Terra to accompany you? You can choose the figure, looks, personality, and origin. I guarantee it'll be a handsome guy who loves you to death."
Lulu made random suggestions and Mu Hua made random offers. These two guys who seemed to be a bit unfamiliar with the magic market turned out to be evenly matched.
What's more, as Mu Hua described it, Lulu subconsciously licked her lips. . .
"Hey! Do I look like I'm short of men? Believe it or not, as long as I beckon, there are plenty of men kneeling down to lick my ass." As if she realized her own misconduct, Lulu's ears turned slightly red, and she slammed the table and shouted angrily.
"Come on, look at what you think of when you mention Terra? Hooking the finger? Kneeling and licking? Ha." Mu Hua laughed strangely.
"You... Haha, you'd better not say that you are a devil merchant in the future. You're just an amateur. This is Daryl, and you're selling magical life in Daryl, ha." Lulu was annoyed, and then she laughed strangely as if in revenge.
“…”Mu Hua.
“...” Lulu.
In the office, the two people stared at each other, and the direction of their argument gradually deviated from the topic they were originally thinking about. . . (End of this chapter)
