288: Chapter 288 This Price is Too Cheap

Oriental Chen was just saying it, explaining everything to him beforehand.

But in reality, he wasn't afraid of him privately withholding those robots, because once the lock command was issued, no one could control them. Even if he kept them, they would just be a pile of scrap metal.

"This is not a small number, so it's best to be clear from the start," Oriental Chen said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, I wanted to ask you, how many crystalss do you plan to sell each of these Simulation Spider Robots for?" Yan Zhengping asked.

"These robots are not sold individually," Oriental Chen replied.

"Why not?" Yan Zhengping asked.

"Without a main brain control, what good are these robots?" Oriental Chen said.

"Oh, I see what you mean. So how do you plan to sell them?" Yan Zhengping asked.

"One unit for every ten thousand, with an additional main brain control system and 10 charging cabinets," Oriental Chen answered.

"Ten thousand!?" Yan Zhengping felt a bit weak.

According to his estimate, wouldn't one robot cost around 2,000 crystalss? Then ten thousand would be... 20 million crystalss!

"Exactly. The cost of the main brain is also very high. It's not cost-effective to include a main brain for too few units," Oriental Chen explained.

Ten thousand robots are equivalent to the number of people in a full division, and even at this price, it's actually not expensive.

This is the strength of a division.

Moreover, these robots don't need to eat, drink, or rest, and they can achieve highly efficient coordination. Looking at it this way, they are definitely stronger than a division's combat power.

"What's the price for one unit?" Yan Zhengping asked.

"2 million crystalss!" Oriental Chen thought for a moment before replying.

"How much?" Yan Zhengping roared, unable to believe the price he heard.

"2 million, what's wrong?" Oriental Chen was startled by Yan Zhengping's sudden outburst.

"2 million?" Yan Zhengping continued to shout.

"Yes," Oriental Chen nodded, feeling a bit confused.

"You're not joking with me, are you?" Yan Zhengping pointed at him, confirming again.

"No, is there a problem?" Oriental Chen asked, looking at him.

"No problem! No problem! Absolutely no problem!" Yan Zhengping was overjoyed to get Oriental Chen's affirmative answer.

This was simply a pleasant surprise!

A price of 2 million to build a division's strength, is it really this cheap?

"No, when the time comes, I'll have to raise the price, raise it sharply!" Yan Zhengping made up his mind.

In fact, Oriental Chen didn't need much cost to manufacture a single robot, because the production process didn't consume many crystalss. And the materials were collected by Bee Ant Robot, so there was no cost at all. Therefore, a price of 200 crystalss for one was already very high.

The most valuable thing here was actually the technology.

First is the material. To maximize the toughness of the material and control its weight, the robot's outer shell components are made of fiber steel, and the interior is hollow. If you zoom in on the structure of fiber steel, you will find that this material is a hollow fibrous structure. The texture looks like naturally grown wood, with no signs of cutting.

This material is synthesized by Bee Ant Robot through collecting and decomposing materials, then using a semi-biological method. It is integrally formed without any secondary processing.

The advantage of this is that it has higher toughness than ordinary steel and weighs only 1/3 of steel of the same volume.

Just based on this material, selling one robot for 2,000 crystalss is not a problem at all.

Second is the structure. Why are they called Simulation Spider Robots? That's because the movement of these robots is very similar to real spiders. There are almost no mechanical structures such as springs or hydraulics in the entire body; instead, they rely on motion simulation, using the combined activity of each joint to achieve dynamic balance of the body. The advantage of this is that it can save a large number of unnecessary parts, thereby reducing weight and saving energy.

Third is communication. To improve communication efficiency, the communication commands between the main brain and the Simulation Spider Robots are extremely simple, consisting of only a dozen characters. These dozen characters are divided into four segments: the first segment is the communication checksum, which functions like a secret code. When a Spider Robot receives a command, it first checks the checksum. If the checksum is correct, it executes the corresponding command. If the checksum is incorrect, it refuses to execute.

The second segment is the grouping code. Taking a combat group of 10,000 robots as an example, their grouping codes are pre-written during production. These 10,000 robots are divided into 10 first-level groups, with 1,000 robots per group. Each first-level group is further divided into 10 second-level groups, with 100 robots per group. Each second-level group is further divided into 10 third-level groups, with 10 robots per group. Each group level is represented by a single character, so only three characters are needed to locate the corresponding third-level subgroup.

It should be noted here that 10 robots are the smallest unit that the main brain can control.

The third segment is the command code. The system has 128 pre-built commands, so the main brain only needs to send the corresponding operation command to the robots in the specified group, and they can complete the corresponding operation according to the command.

The fourth segment is the end code, meaning to tell the robot that this command ends here.
