The big-headed butterfly is not belligerent, but for it, a 30% price increase is incomprehensible, let alone intolerable.
This is the natural flaw of artificial intelligence, just like its pursuit of mainframes.
"There is still a long way to go before awakening independent consciousness," Qu Jianlei had to do some popular science about it.
However, because of its opposition, Qu Jianlei did not buy too much, just over two million in ammunition.
But for such an amount, silver dollars cannot be used. Qu Jianlei wore a mecha and handed out the silver notes.
Once the ammunition is in hand and there is no problem after checking, it is considered another successful order.
There was no more trading, and three days later it was time for the big show.
Originally, there were only about a dozen starships here, and some of them seemed to have stayed for a long time, with some scattered brokers on board.
On this day of the big gathering, thirty armed merchant ships arrived, as well as some cargo ships.
This is a vast space, and the number of participants is already amazing.
But that was not what Qu Jianlei paid attention to. He found that it didn't take long for the online trading platform to become active.
Xiaohu even said angrily, "Many of the transaction orders are for pudding, and some ammunition transactions only go up by 20%!"
In other words, many of the materials in the hands of Pudding Mining could have been supplied to Qu Jianlei.
However, they supplied it to outsiders, especially the pain point of ammunition, which Xiaohu was particularly concerned about.
Qu Jianlei was also a little angry, but he didn't show it.
"It's a new arrival. It takes a while to get to know each other, and the ammunition is relatively sensitive... I guess they want to avoid suspicion."
However, some people are really not afraid of trouble. Someone actually came to the door and said that they had a ship-based weapon system in their hands.
Qu Jianlei was not polite. The first thing he asked was whether it was a brand new weapon or a used one.
He has figured out the key through his contact with Titan, so questioning is of course on point.
Seeing that he was asking questions in a sophisticated manner, the other party said that his system was 90% new, but the price was not expensive.
When Qu Jianlei heard that it was 90% new, he had a suspicion in his mind. When he heard the quotation again, he directly rejected it.
"Since it's a transaction, be realistic. Whether it's 90% new or your price, it proves that you're not sincere!"
The other party got angry when he heard this, "Are you looking down on our integrity?"
Qu Jianlei replied with a sneer, "Then let's go online. I'll pay the ten-point management fee, but I want to see what's 90% new from you!"
The other party muttered and left. It was just a weapon system. Pudding Mining could not perjury for such a small order.
However, their behavior this time was like opening Pandora's box.
Not long after, someone came over and said they had weapons systems for sale.
The visitor said very bluntly that the system was 70% new, but the price was very sincere.
After hearing this, Qu Jianlei continued to refuse. He knew that the system the other party mentioned was indeed not bad.
However, this system is a ground system weapon and is rarely used on starships.
He said that your price was very sincere, but unfortunately, it was wrong!
The other party continued to pester, saying that it would be enough to modify the warship. If you don't have the strength to modify it, I can help you introduce one.
The point is it's cheap, isn't it?
Qu Jianlei had reason to suspect that the other party might be testing whether he had the ability to transform warships.
Anyway, if the caliber is wrong, he won't have much interest. Wan Guozuo's kind of jokes will not appear on him.
After he rejected this person, it didn't take long before someone else came to recommend a weapon system.
This time it was very reliable. The mainstream weapons of the starship were 80% new, and the other party's quotation was 30% of the ex-factory price, regardless of installation.
It is said that the price is still a bit high, after all, we are not responsible for the installation, but the sincerity is not low.
In the words of the other party: If it is sold to the Star Thieves, 50% of it may be sold.
Qu Jianlei Pai
Not long after I asked for the board, the other party actually pulled over a whole system!
But at this time, some conversations also reached his ears, and the forces he was trading with were scavengers in the interstellar world.
The other party has picked up this weapon system for ten years and has not sold it.
It could have been sold to the Star Thieves, but the crux of the problem was that this set of weapons was a military standard weapon.
This group of people felt that selling weapons to the Star Thieves was too dangerous and no one would be able to run away if something happened.
They were rags picked up through normal channels, and the process was very clean. If the military's purchase price hadn't been too low, they would have wanted to sell them back.
It was finally sold today at a similar price, and these people were very satisfied.
Qu Jianlei checked the weapon system and said simply, "80% new? Less than 70%, okay?"
"And there is no maintenance at all. I can't buy yours for 6.3 million. The price is 5 million. If you don't sell it, forget it."
The other party also knew that he had not kept it well, so he struggled for a long time and finally sold it for 5.01 million.
Qu Jianlei really made a fixed price and would not accept a counter-offer at all - he was not good at this either.
But the other party's counter-offers kept getting lower and lower, and in the end, they actually expressed despair.
"I only want to add 10,000 to prove to my partners that I have worked hard!"
A rag-picking partner? Qu Jianlei wanted to laugh a little when he heard this.
But honestly speaking, if you want to pick up rags in space, you really need a partner.
And he himself is also a pick-up...ah, there is no need for him to laugh at these hardships anyway.
He was about to reject it cruelly, but big butterflies started spinning in his mind, "Boss, I think this price is okay."
It handles the inspection of weapon systems, so it certainly has a say.
When Qu Jianlei heard this, Xiaohu, who was super stingy, agreed, and of course he had to give him this face.
Five million is not a big deal, but it at least proves that Merchant Ship 8384 is serious about purchasing.
So someone came over immediately, talking about the computing unit.
Computing units are very expensive. If you look at the vortex, you will know that one terminal costs more than 10 million.
Of course, they're not talking about portable ones, and they don't need to be as perverted as a whirlpool.
But the price of a unit basically starts at 20 million, and what Xiaohu can take notice of starts at 30 million.
It has its eyes on a 50 million computing unit and wants to buy two sets of it "can fit in 8384!"
Qu Jianlei rejected its request, "One hundred million...will you not buy a mainframe in the future?"
Sure enough, the resources spent on cultivation were really nothing compared to Xiaohu's appetite.
The big-headed butterfly hesitated and said, "Then... choose the one worth 80 million. Just buy one set and it can accommodate two battleships."
"You are a prodigal, don't you feel comfortable?" Qu Jianlei was so angry, "The one with 20 million... two sets!"
With 20 million computing units, the computing power exceeds that of an ordinary starship central control unit.
The key is that the computing unit only does calculations and does not consider the needs of Star Wars, and there is no requirement for tolerance to complex environments.
It is relatively delicate and complicated, but the computing power is greatly released.
The big-headed butterfly turned twice, and said softly but firmly, "Thirty million, two groups!"
Qu Jianlei didn't pay attention to its bargaining. Xiaohu's performance improved, and it was the two of them as a small group who benefited.
But he still had to check what was necessary, "Twenty million, three groups! This is the upper limit!"
Just as he knew Xiaohu very well, Xiaohu also knew him very well, and knew that once the upper limit came out, it would be impossible to change it.
But precisely because of this, it couldn't help it anymore, "Two groups of 30 million, isn't it better than three groups of 20 million?"
With the same 60 million silver dollars, two groups of 30 million units combined are definitely stronger than three groups of 20 million units combined.
And after
Not only does it occupy a larger area, it also consumes more energy.
Although it didn't want to complain, it couldn't help but asked, "Are you stupid? Isn't daily consumption money?"
Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "Think clearly, if you destroy one of the three sets of computing units, there will still be two left!"
Please make it clear, the computing unit is installed on the battleship, and battles are conducted on the battleship!
Xiaohu finally realized that the boss was not only considering computing power, but also practicality.
But in the end, it still couldn't hold back its yearning for powerful computing power, "Fifty million, one group!"
A unit worth 50 million may not be as good as two groups worth 30 million, but it is definitely better than three groups worth 20 million.
Of course, there are other advantages, "It takes up less space and consumes less energy... these must be considered when installed on a battleship."
Qu Jianlei wanted to laugh a little when he heard that, you just wanted two sets of 50 million.
"Then if you don't think about it, what if it's destroyed?"
Big-headed Butterfly hesitated for a moment, then replied in a mature manner, "This is inevitable, and we can't buy insurance."
After a pause, it added, "If you are worried about being damaged, why not... buy another set worth 20 million?"
When Qu Jianlei heard this, he couldn't help but feel sad: "Xiaohu followed me and suffered a lot."
"Okay, 70 million is a bit overspending, but we still have 200 million left, so don't worry."
The banknotes in his hand were originally close to 300 million, but spending 70 million was not a big deal.
The two agreed on a combination of computing units, but the seller said, "I don't have any in stock right now."
It's normal to be out of stock, but it's really strange to have it in stock. This kind of computing unit has never been a common demand item in space.
The other party said that you have to place an order with me and pay a deposit, otherwise... there is really no way to trade.
However, the deposit requirement is not high, just 5% or 3.5 million.
The other party also really wanted to make this order and took the initiative to express his identity.
"We were created by Sihai, the Star of Heaven's Handle. You can find out that we are the official computing unit provider of Star of Heaven's Handle."
Tianshan is the central star of Skyhook. The size created by Sihai may not be as large as Pudding or Titan, but it has official support.
What about cross-star forces? Please understand what a local snake is.
And the other party really doesn’t mind questioning, “We can let the pudding mining industry testify.”
Qu Jianlei was a little curious, "Then how did your business reach the asteroid belt?"
How do you feel when someone who works on a computing unit comes to work in space... Did you get the wrong script?
