Monster Factory Chapter 93: Dismantling live

Chapter 93: Dismantling live

Translated by me, edited by drpetro.

The four raging miners went right under the already prepared levers, which had formed a perfect hash sign with the pressure press sitting right in the middle.

*Roar~*

The four raging miners grabbed onto the front and back of the hash, took thumping steps like a T-Rex, and headed towards the coastal entrance of the cave.

The entrance to the cave had already been enlarged to be big enough, but the strength of the 4 raging miners was even more than enough.

The four columns of the pressure press weighed in at over a hundred tons, yet they were still carried by the raging miners into the depth of the cave without stopping. When they finally reached the end, only then did the raging miners stop and let out a bellow-like gasp.

The other 19 peons weren’t well off either, after moving the nearly 20 ton pressure press counter, and the huge components of the electric furnace, they were also huffing and puffing.

Seeing the inexhaustible monsters working, Ye Qing’s feeling were beyond this world as he looked down upon everyone else.

Those were his trump cards, the main reason why he will be the world’s number one manufacturer.

Haha ~

Who would’ve ever thought that this small a.s.s factory was actually hiding a super factory operated by real monsters?

4:40 in the morning, under the hard work of the peons and raging miners, every piece of disa.s.sembled equipment was moved into the depth of the secret base. Using the raging miners and the crude levers as a makes.h.i.+ft crane, the pressure press and the electric furnace were both swiftly rea.s.sembled.

As soon as the equipment was rea.s.sembled, the Monster Factory’s position within the local ranking immediately sky rocketed.

Before, the factory was only ranked at 297, but it skyrocketed to 87. Industrial index also flew up to beyond 10,000, meaning 100 plus disguise uniforms were waiting to be bought.

Adding on two pieces of industrial scale equipment actually raised the factory’s position within the rankings by 200 some spots.

This was one step closer to being within the top 10.

Adding on all the steel and other components prepared before, all the materials needed for the metal smelting center had been a.s.sembled. All that needed to be done now was to let the peons and master artisans, in accordance to the structure on the blueprint, modify the pressure press and the electric furnace, then use the remaining materials to make all the other necessities, and there you have a totally unique metal smelting center.

For this piece of equipment, the amount of capital invested by Ye Qing already exceeded 50 million.

The cost of manpower and others were way beyond calculating. Tens of thousands of tons, a complexity that was easily beyond those modern computer a.s.sisted smelting centers. If the wages for normal workers were used, then that would easily be at least another 50 million.

As long as it was built, then Ye Qing would finally possess the ability to compete in the heavy industrial market, and the ability to make the beyond this current world tech level’s nickel t.i.tanium memory alloy.

Ahhh, he needed to get back to making money. As long as there was money to spend, only then could the underground secret base actually be built into the world’s top tier super monster factory.

Harbouring those wonderful dreams of the future, Ye Qing peacefully slept until noon of the next day.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he saw that there were several unread messages sent by DouDou at 8 o’clock in the morning.

She told Ye Qing that, after the past couple days of training, the show director had already confirmed her abilities to host the radio show [News by your ears].

Tomorrow at 1:30 in the afternoon she would really become a real show host.

“Congratulations ~ Tomorrow I will definitely be one of your first listeners.”

Having sent the message, Ye Qing called for some delivery, and left for the downtown office.

Currently, the mechanical engineered chair had become his money tree. Furthermore, the mechanical engineered chair’s astounding abilities that out swept all other compet.i.tors became even more popular on the internet.

When Ye Qing had just got to the office, the delivery also arrived.

Sitting down in his office, Ye Qing logged onto his account to check on the sales. From last night to noon today, the mechanical engineered chairs sold another 100 some units, at this pace by tonight, that was another 10 some million in the bank.

Daily income: 10,000,000.

Holy shot, if that continued, then within 6 month, he would actually become the richest man in Zhongyun.

Hehe ~

While eating, Ye Qing went onto the internet in search of intriguing videos to watch. Currently the mechanical engineered chairs on A site really weren’t that popular, it only had several dozen videos with a few hundreds of thousands of views each.

And the most popular video of them all was actually the second top trended today, just short of exceeding the #1 «The sun’s stepmother».

The video’s poster clearly just registered, and only had one video, specifically made to show off the outstanding abilities of the mechanical engineered chairs.

The video was called «The complete set of modernized ancient ma.s.sage techniques». The opening was a scene from one of those movies about ancient times, with a man lying down on the emperor’s bed completely naked, and a beautiful palace maid sitting behind him.

Of course, the palace maid was only wearing cloth for show. Her slender fingers were kneading away on the man’s back just like playing a guqin, while slowly moving down towards his waist.

This scene wasn’t from any “normal” movie, because as the ma.s.sage continued, the man suddenly turned around and grabbed the maid.

As soon as it reached this critical scene, the video completely blacked out.

Curses filled the video chat right at that moment, then as the pictures came back, there it was, a mechanical engineered chair appeared in front of everyone.

Following the melody of some very old school music, the two armrests of the mechanical engineered chair started to follow the beat of the music.

Close your eyes!

Step one: Rub the Tianying point.

“*Cough cough* *cough cough*” Ye Qing who was eating nearly choked.

Trying his hardest to recover, Ye Qing learned that eating while watching videos was a definite no-no.

Sure enough, the second step immediately changed to those unhealthy, can’t be spoken about movements.

The mechanical engineered chair, just like a stallion, moved to the beat of the music. Although there was no one sitting in it, just the pictures alone was more than enough to stimulate the imagination.

The chat immediately exploded, with everyone asking for links to the store.

It was just that as soon everyone saw how much one costed, the chat immediately went silent, as even if they lived off of instant noodles for the next 10 years, they still wouldn’t save enough. Looks like they needed to sell a kidney for it.

Suddenly, a floating banner attracted Ye Qing’s attention.

[Guys, get on Weibo quick, a famous vlogger is streaming himself dismantling the chair, and is going to explain the basics to us.]

Dismantling the chair?

All the following banners were all 666s. The audience begged to be linked and asked which vlogger was that rich.

Ye Qing was dumbstruck, who was this prodigal, to actually disa.s.semble a 88,000 mechanical engineered chair, just to inform the public?

。

Ye Qing actually wasn’t afraid of people disa.s.sembling it, moreover there would definitely be a lot of people disa.s.sembling it to get a better picture of the inner workings.

Because of the chair’s popularity, it would definitely attract the attention of many other ma.s.sage chair and ergonomic chair makers.

The core of the mechanical engineered chair lied with its complex electric and hydraulic movement system. It had a nearly perfect design, but it didn’t exceed the world’s current level of technology.

Ye Qing had applied for patent protection for the chair a long time ago.

Other factories wanting to make knock offs of it was definitely a no-no, even if it was some newbie lawyer, they would still be able to easily win the case against those factories.

To be honest, even if there was no patent, Ye Qing still wasn’t afraid of people copying it.

Now that the mechanical engineered chair was being sold in Tmall, if it appears anywhere else, then it was definitely going to be a knock off.

Furthermore, the extremely complex inner structure of the mechanical arms, and the admirable precision level, would definitely make all knock off factories cry helplessly.

If they wanted to copy, then most, if not all the parts, would need to be milled out by 5 axis computer guided mills.

With that kind of profit margin, if they could still keep the price to be within 88,000, then weren’t they just challenging the monsters as being useless?

There would definitely be people joining on businesses that make a killing, but no one would partake in any form of losing deals.

That was a fact that had never been broken since ancient times. It was also the very confidence the mechanical engineered chair had to compete with all of its compet.i.tors.

It was just like Intel processors, their structure had already been floating around for more than 800 years. The chips had already been involved in modern day cyber warfare, but in the whole world, apart from Intel, there wasn’t a second company that could produce the same quality of product at a cheaper price. [Tl: Author is probably not taking AMD into account, as news of the Radeon hasn’t been released when writing this.] [ED: Also /slightly/ exaggerating on the 800 year part. Intel was founded in 1968, and integrated circuits started being developed in 1949. This has been drpetro, with your daily bit of computer trivia.]

If you don’t have the manufacturing abilities, even if you were given the detailed blueprint of a Gundam, all you could do is stare at it.

Then go ahead and disa.s.semble it, the thing is theirs to begin with. Even if they were to throw it into the ocean, Ye Qing would not and could not be able to stop them.

Copying down the vlogger’s name, Ye Qing exited A site and went into Weibo for a look.

Ye Qing didn’t personally have a Weibo account, so after quickly registering one, he quickly found the vlogger and enter his channel.

His ID was [Mechanical Pioneer], with over 2 million followers.

His self introduction: An unemployed senior mechanical engineer!

On Weibo, he had a lot of history about mechanics, and many brand new electronics and exercise products that Ye Qing saw on the internet were completely disa.s.sembled by the guy. Moreover, they were all given a very professional, and personal review.

His latest post was a picture of an office filled with all kinds of tools with a mechanical engineered chair right in the middle.

[Subt.i.tled live slideshow of the dismantling of the popular 88K mechanical engineered chair.]

The replies to the post increased by hundreds with each refresh.

All of the replies were telling him to hurry up, do it properly, so that others can see the mechanical structure inside.

Ye Qing actually felt some heartache for this chair. Although the chair was now theirs, it was still made by his factory through hard work.

Mechanical Pioneer clearly didn’t care about the maker’s feelings, as very soon a set of 5 images were posted.

The pictures were of the leather coverings and the memory foam inside being cut apart by a pair of industrial scissors.

Within the last picture was a blurb of his ‘professional’ opinion on the memory foam used.

‘—– What a disappointing design. They actually used low grade memory foam made from latex.’

‘I’m already disappointed, the true name for memory foam is polyurethane foam, first created by American company DuPont, to reduce the carrying weight of astronauts.’

‘Real memory foam uses the formula invented by DuPont. This formula is very safe, it’s even proven by many human studies to be harmless to the human body.’

‘However with this kind of latex made memory foam, not only is the rebound time of the foam itself slow, it also has a short life span. Furthermore it also possess a high probability of causing allergic reactions when coming in contact with the human body.’

‘A chair that cost 88k, actually uses this kind of poor quality materials?’

‘I hope the core mechanical system inside doesn’t take any shortcuts with low grade materials like this.’
