Monster Factory

Chapter 138: All the fat sheep

Translated by me, edited by drpetro.

Ye Qing was currently facing three options. The first was to find a group that manufactured mining dump trucks and purchase the rights to their hauler’s base.

The second was to directly buy prebuilt bases and assemble the rest himself.

The third was make it all himself!

For the first two options, Huaxing Heavy Industry would be the best collaboration partner. Their group contained all kinds of mining equipment, and with how familiar Ye Qing was with them, they were definitely the best choice.

Ye Qing was in deep thought while lying on the Mechanical Engineered Chair.

Because he was thinking of creating them himself!

Since the base of those mining dump trucks were all specifically designed for dumping, even if Ye Qing were to spend big money to buy them, he still had to spend money modifying it.

And most importantly, Ye Qing could guarantee that Li Huaxing wouldn’t let go of the technologies without a fight.

The Caterpillar Group offered mining truck diesel generators for sale. There was also the choice between using Class 1 diesel and Class 2 diesel domestically.

The 2200 KW diesel generator was more than enough to satisfy Ye Qing’s needs.

The base required industrial scale forging technologies to create, which was completely covered by the advanced metal smelting center. As for the technologies needed to create its cargo hauler, brakes, and suspension, in Ye Qing’s eyes, they weren’t that hard at all.

Because if he couldn’t make it, then he could always buy them.

The Caterpillar Group was the world’s leading provider of everything related to mining, and at the same time they were the sellers of all kinds of parts.

They were already selling entire trucks, so why couldn’t they sell parts?

Coming to a decision, Ye Qing immediately called over some master artisans to discuss how to create the new equipment.

First came the name, Ye Qing wanted to call this never before seen mechanical monster: the Colossal......

The Colossal Excavator was definitely a no because Ye Qing planned on putting two Giant mechanical arms on them. The arms would naturally be able to mimic the actual movements of human motions.

Colossal Mechanical Machine?

Nope, that sounds absolutely terrible......

Colossal Mechanical Truck?

Although this suited the product, as that was what it was, it still didn’t give it a powerful image, which was what Ye Qing wanted right upon hearing the name.

Then Colossal Mechanical what, because it needed to sound fierce and powerful.

“Wait a minute ~” When he was feeling out those two words, he suddenly came to a realization. There was actually no need to tack on anything else, all that was needed was to swap the two words around.

The Mechanical Colossus!

Yes, that sounds perfect, the name even has the feeling that comes with it. The final version of the Mechanical Engineered Chairs, the Mechanical Colossus.

Next came the upgrade of the mechanical arms. With the previous experience of making the Mechanical Engineered Chairs, Ye Qing could rest assured in enlarging it. This step would be left for the master artisans to finish, which meant no shortfalls such as those left by Huaxing Heavy Industry’s engineers.

For example, forgetting to increase the number of screws after enlargement, failures in the strength of the materials used, insufficient designed power output, and similar mistakes.

But just how big?

What Ye Qing wanted from this product was to first use it to fill the industrial index so that he could rank up, then use it within the massive development of the Dragon Creek Beach later.

The arms of regular excavators were around 11 meters, and sometimes they were responsible for the movement of pipelines and mature landscaping trees, so they had a lift limit of roughly 5 tons.

Well, since he was going to make them, then he might as well as make them great. Thus, Ye Qing’s requirements were: the arms need to be at least 30 meters in length, and their lift capacity needed to be of at least 50 tons.

Then not only could Ye Qing use them like mobile cranes, he could also save a bunch of lifting equipment rental fees.

The bigger the arm was going to be, the higher the requirements for the material, because blindly increasing the thickness of the mechanical arms would only needlessly damage its efficiency. This could normally only be achieve through many experiments and different metal properties, to find the best combination.

However, the master artisans were literally a living cheat. No experiments, no examinations, with only the data from the black tech blueprint as a reference, they could quickly come up with the most reasonable answer of how powerful the stepper motor, how big the hydraulic safety valve, and so on.

The base design was developed slower than planned. Much of the data on the Caterpillar Group’s 2200 KW diesel engine generator could be found online. Just adding the engine generator in was insufficient, as things like the gas tank, the pipings, and the bearings all needed to be considered.

This also includes the placement of the most important electric circuitry.

Ye Qing’s plan was to first create a small one, to cement the design, then further enlarge it.

Enlarging one of Earth’s many mechanical products was one of the favorite things for the master artisans to do.

Having completed the rough designs this quick, Ye Qing left happy and had the master artisans come up with an estimate of its dimensions to see if it was actually feasible.

Ye Qing also planned on finding a couple Transformer CG pictures online, to open the master artisans’ horizons. Yet right at that moment, Xu Xiaohu called.

Ye Qing answered the called and asked him what was up.

“Uncle, I’ll be in Zhongyun by four.” Xu Xiaohu happily commented on the phone.

“Yeah yeah, I’ve already got the signature you wanted.”

“Uncle, you don’t understand. After we won the award so many foreigners contacted me, saying they wanted to come to our factory for a tour and maybe discuss business.”

Xu Xiaohu continued to blabber on: “So many international companies, even Disney was rumored to be included.”

“Disney?” This time it was Ye Qing who was shocked, didn’t Disney only deal with animations and theme parks?

The newly opened Disney theme park in Shanghai was rumored to be filled to the brim with people.

Just like many other millennials, Ye Qing also grew up watching Disney’s cartoons. Although, Disney had a bunch of subsidiaries under it, which currently included Marvel Studios, and distribution rights.

But Ye Qing still didn’t believe that they would stick their foot in the industrial sector.

“Yes Disney, right now the executive president of Asia is with me coming to Zhongyun. They are very interested in the alloy trees. I believe they want to buy a couple of them and place it in their parks.”

“Apart from Disney, there’s also a bunch of other international companies.”

“Uncle, you need to hurry up and contact a hotel, there’s eight different companies and thirty some people.”

“They’re all coming back together with you?” Ye Qing was completely shell shocked by this surprise. He was just wondering where to get more cash, yet a bunch of foreign companies suddenly popped out ready to be slaughtered.

“Yeah, about ten different cars. We should all arrive by four.”

“Got it. I’ll be waiting by the highway exit for you guys.” Ye Qing took a look at the time, 11 AM.

These companies wanting to discuss business about the alloy trees were probably here for custom orders with their own designs, for example, something like a Christmas tree.

Seeing that they were here to give away money, Ye Qing helped them book and settle their stay, as well as booking one of those big meeting rooms, and a large dinner feast to welcome them.

Good thing that Ye Qing just hired a couple hundred new workers, who were pretty free at the moment.

Driving to the Blue Sky Tower, Ye Qing immediately called over the managers to have them book a 5 star hotel and the welcoming dinner feast.

“Boss, so then what are you looking to eat for dinner?” The foreign language specialist sales manager, Kong Tao, had experience communicating with many foreigners: “Most foreigners that I’ve meet all like the sweet and sour stuff, plus they were also not used to drinking our Baiju.”

“I don’t care what they eat, let the hotel decide.” Ye Qing shook his hand.

The good thing about having lots of people was that things tended to be completed real quick. Without even half an hour, the managers were already coming back with news, saying that the Sheraton Hotel seemed pretty reasonable, and currently Xu Ninggong was also staying there, so who knew, they might even be able to meet and get signatures.

“Change it change it.” Ye Qing continued to shake his hands.

“Boss, there’s none left ~” Kong Tao bitterly shook his head: “Me and the other managers all called eight 5 star hotels in total, and if it wasn’t that they didn’t have enough business rooms, then it was that all their rooms were booked.”

“It’s mainly because we came out of nowhere!”
