Chapter 2730 Far East Wing Cavalry

"Haha! Dr. Vader, you have never heard of it. This is human nature! For example, the neighbors in the neighborhood know that a certain wife has an affair with the old Ivan next door, and he himself is always the last to know that he Wearing a cuckold is the so-called fan of the authorities!" Mr. Jack joked cheerfully.

Waterfark? ! Sure enough, it's not a good word!

Joan firmly denied it: "No, no, Mr. Jack, I am not the only doctor named Vida in the Austrian law academic circle. You must have misunderstood. The 'Little Prince of Papers' is definitely not me!"

"It's not your fault! Dr. Vader, you are a recognized dissertation madman, don't be humble!"

Joan rested his forehead and sighed depressedly, and even wanted to announce publicly that he would close his pen and never publish papers again!

However, he still restrained this irrational impulse after all.

Being "labeled" is indeed a very unpleasant thing.

Your rich and colorful inner world and hobbies have been selectively ignored by others, and you have retained one of the most prominent characteristics, written as a label and pasted on your face, making a judgment for your entire life——

You have no interest, no communication, just a tool for making papers!

But what is even more sad than this is that you ask yourself after you are angry, and find that the label is so perfect that it fits the facts—except for writing a thesis, you really can’t do anything, and you don’t have enough food...Grandma is a bear, so angry!

Seemingly aware of Joan's embarrassment, Roland smiled to smooth things over.

"Jack, why do you compare Dr. Vida to me before I ascended the throne? Can't he be promoted from the 'Prince of Papers' to the 'King of Academics'?"

"Oh, the key is that it's still one step away!" Jack explained with a smile, "Dr. Vader basically won all the honors that can be won in the arcane academic circle before he was 20 years old, and now he is only missing the most critical stepping stone." , to be promoted from a prince to an emperor, that is the highest award in the arcane academic world - the Golden Rod Award!"

As soon as the "Golden Rod Award" was mentioned, Joan thought of her mentor, Professor Moriarty, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed. She didn't want to spoil everyone's good interest because of her own concerns, so she quickly changed the subject and asked Jack and Ka Futa inquired about what subjects he was working on recently.

"Dr. Vader's question is good, and this is exactly what I want to inquire about." Roland accepted the words, looked at Jack and Kafta with serious eyes, "The Academy of Military Science's Hussaar Project has been advanced to Which step is it?"

"Oh... this..."

Jack hesitated and exchanged glances with his partner.

"Why, the new version of the design plan that you all patted your chest and assured me last time...failed again?"

Roland frowned slightly.

"No, no! It's not that serious. In fact, we have already manufactured a prototype that basically meets the design requirements. The only problem is...the cost is a little overrun."

Mr. Jack rubbed his thumb and made a counting gesture.

"A little overspend, or 'billion points', please make it clear."

His Majesty the Emperor showed vigilance, and he clearly understood the usual rhetoric used by the Academy of Military Sciences when it was fighting for scientific research funding.

When the project was first established, I told you that a funding of 1 million yuan was enough. After a while, I told you that the progress was smooth, but the budget was overrun, and an additional 1 million yuan was needed. Later, it was said that the project was nearing completion, and due to various issues Due to unexpected factors, an additional 1 million yuan has to be added.

Don't you complain.

Think about it, if you cancel the project now and give up halfway, wouldn't all the 2 million you invested in before be in vain?

Anyway, it’s all here, why don’t you grit your teeth and add 1 million, the last 1 million, guarantee the results!

This kind of routine of using accumulated sunk costs to coerce investors to continue to increase investment is, to put it bluntly, "cheat pigs in and slaughter them".

"Your Majesty, it's really not that exaggerated. Let me just say this. The prototype of the 'Winged Cavalry' is indeed beyond the budget, but the cost is only three times that of the 'Steel Cavalry'."

"It's only three times..." The corner of His Majesty's mouth twitched slightly, "Jack, three times the steel cavalry is 60,000 gold thalers, thanks for being so light-hearted!"

"Ha! Your Majesty, send a land battle armor into the sky, upgrade from running on the ground to flying in the air. To be fair, do you know how big a leap this is?! What's the matter with spending some money? It's worth it !"

Mr. Dwarf excitedly raised his arms high, arguing with reason in front of His Majesty the Emperor.

"There is one thing to say, if it costs three times the cost to make the heavy land combat mechanical armor rise into the sky and evolve into an air combat mechanical armor that can fly freely, especially considering the huge tactical value of the air combat mechanical armor, it is quite a deal. of."

Joan felt that it was necessary to speak a fair word for his colleagues.

"Dr. Vader has said so, what do you have to worry about, Your Majesty!" Mr. Jack climbed up smoothly.

Roland sighed, and said to Joan with a wry smile: "Of course I know that air combat mechanical armor is bound to be much more expensive than land combat models. I'm not reluctant to spend money, but I'm just worried that Jack, a slick guy, won't make sense. Now I say 60,000 gold Thaler can handle a Husband, but after a few days, he changed his mind and said that he had to pay more, and slaughtered me like a fat pig, when is this a head!"

"Ah, Your Majesty! My dear Majesty! It's too sad for you to say this. To be reasonable, am I the kind of wicked ghost who pretends to be a winner?!"

Jack beat his chest angrily.

"Ah? In good conscience, am I that kind of person?!"

Suddenly feeling a bit cold, Mr. Dwarf couldn't help recalling his glorious history of defrauding funds in the past, and there was a rare embarrassment on his face.

"Well, even if I'm that kind of person, Kafta isn't right? Your Majesty, you can't trust me, but you should at least trust the honest Kafta!"

"Kafta, my good brother, I am not in charge of the Academy of Military Sciences alone, you should say something!"

Mr. Kafta is an introverted and taciturn person. Under the repeated urging of his old partner, he adjusted his glasses and opened his mouth reluctantly.

"Your Majesty, Dr. Vader, Jack really didn't fool you this time. The cost of the Hussar prototype is about 60,000 gentales. When mass production is realized in the future, the cost is expected to drop to about 50,000 gentalers."

Roland nodded thoughtfully.

"In short, take me to see the prototype first, and explain in detail to the real thing, where the money is spent."

"Dr. Vader, you should also go and have a look with me. We need your professional knowledge and experience. If you can propose some improvements based on the design plan of the Academy of Military Sciences, or further compress the manufacturing of the 'wing cavalry' cost, it would be better."
