Tessa sat in the back seat of the Maybach Benz and looked around strangely. Although the car looked no different from before, she felt that something had changed.
"Bano, has this car been driven out some time ago? I feel like something is wrong."
Balvino, who was sitting in the driver's seat and had installed bombs in the cars of assassination targets before, immediately checked the interior of the car vigilantly, then opened the hood and checked under the car.
"No bombs, miss."
Balvino sat back in the driver's seat with some confusion.
"What's wrong?"
Cade was wearing a neat suit, his leather shoes were polished to a shine, and even his hair was slicked with hairspray to make it shiny, making him look five or six years younger.
"The lady said there was something wrong with the car."
"Ahem!" Cade coughed violently a few times. "Not long ago, I sent my car to my friend to have it modified to be bulletproof. Tessa is quite famous now, and there are many criminal gangs in Texas, so they might target her."
"Dad!" Tessa was a little touched.
"You should have told me about this kind of thing in advance. You also bought so many vehicles for the farm two days ago, including an agricultural aircraft. Where did you get the money from?"
Now, whether it is Broly or Cade, all the money is managed by Tessa.
"These vehicles are very expensive, especially the A-1 attack aircraft converted into an agricultural aircraft, which costs at least more than five million dollars in total."
With such a huge expenditure, it is definitely not enough to rely solely on CapitaLand’s private money.
"Ahem, these vehicles were entrusted to me by that friend to manage for him."
Cade explained.
"Why didn't I know you had such a friend?"
Tessa looked at Cade questioningly.
Cade couldn't bear it anymore:
"I'll have some secrets of my own, too."
Tessa gave up reluctantly. She just wanted Cade to stop dreaming about his unrealistic invention, not to sever the father-daughter relationship.
"Let's go, Bano."
They were preparing to go to Austin, and at Tessa's strong request, Cade was going to the design studio to guide the work.
As soon as Bano started the car, the entire Mercedes-Benz Maybach made a surging engine roar. Even though the sound insulation inside the car was excellent, it could be heard clearly.
Tessa turned to look at Cade.
"By the way, I changed the power. Ahem, the car weight increased a lot after the bulletproof modification, so I changed the engine as well."
Cade explained with a guilty conscience, while quietly hammering on the car door with his fist.
"Cade, you must introduce your friend to me."
Even in those super sports cars, Balvino had never felt such abundant power. With a light touch of the accelerator, the entire luxury car weighing nearly three tons started as if nothing had moved and rushed forward. The engine was just a little tested, and the whole car quickly climbed to a speed of more than 120 mph.
Even at this speed, the interior of the car was still so quiet that no noise could be heard. The only thing that confirmed that they were traveling at a high speed was the desert speeding past outside the car window.
Cade breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Ironhide didn't play any tricks, otherwise he would have no way to explain it.
They drove straight to Austin, where the engineers in the studio were already waiting. The more they studied the modified powered exoskeleton, the more they admired Cade and couldn't wait to learn from him.
Especially Ivan Vanke, who had a much deeper understanding of mechanical design and processing than other engineers, and he still found it hard to believe that this could be achieved with existing technology.
Now that I can meet the designer, I should be able to resolve my doubts.
Not long after, Tessa led Cade into the studio. It was Cade's first time in the studio, and he looked around the furnishings in the studio with great curiosity, and was particularly interested in the processing machine in the center.
"This is a CNC machine tool modified by Ivan, which can complete most of the processing processes."
Tessa introduced Cade.
Kaide had good vision and could tell at a glance that this CNC machine tool was a bit unusual. He tried to operate it and used the machine tool to process a part. He then used a laser to measure the size of the part and found that the processing accuracy of this machine tool was unexpectedly high. The technical content of this was much higher than that of the previous powered exoskeleton.
He felt a chill in his heart, and was certain that the engineer his daughter had hired was far beyond his reach.
"That's amazing. You are really young and promising. Keep working hard and you will catch up with me one day."
Cade still patted Ivan's shoulder confidently. Knowing that his daughter had bad intentions, how could he come to inspect the studio without any preparation
Ivan Vanke, who had been watching Cade's every move, raised his eyebrows. He realized that Cade's technical level might not be high. Before Cade came to the studio, he deliberately left a small fault in the lathe, which was enough to reduce the lathe's processing accuracy by an order of magnitude. When he was operating the machine tool just now, Cade turned a blind eye to this fault several times, which made it difficult to attribute the cause to carelessness.
Thinking of this, he reached into his trouser pocket and pressed a button on the remote control.
Next, the engineers present asked questions to Kaide. Most of the questions were about the new powered exoskeleton. They got the samples of the new powered exoskeleton, but they had no idea where to start. Not to mention designing the process flow for mass production.
Even someone with superb technical skills like Ivan Vanke can only manufacture new powered exoskeletons by manually operating machine tools and assembling them manually.
To Tessa's surprise, Kaide was very eloquent. No matter what questions the engineers raised, he was able to get to the point and propose reasonable solutions based on the existing technology.
Ivan raised some problems that existing engineering techniques could not solve, and CapitaLand only hesitated for a moment before proposing a new technical concept. Although it has not been put into practice, even Ivan Vanke has to admit that it is highly feasible.
With the new technology proposed by CapitaLand, the manufacturing difficulty of the new powered exoskeleton has been greatly reduced. Even after a slight modification of the production process, it is possible to use the CNC machine tool in the studio to start mass production, with a monthly output of approximately eighteen units.
Even so, the cost of the new powered exoskeleton is still incredibly high. Even if the profit is reduced, it is still a luxury that only a few people can afford.
Tessa's almond-shaped eyes widened as she stared at her father in disbelief, as if she were in a dream.
