Chapter 313 - Chapter 474: Soldier Ant Equipment and Worker Ant Defense

"The military enterprise registration you requested has been successful. The documents are all here," Zhao Min said, grabbing the documents from the table beside her and handing them to Chen Mo along with a hard drive.The main restriction for registering a military enterprise is the security clearance. Fortunately, Chen Mo's reputation preceded him, and he had also sold the potential potion to the authorities at a discounted price, providing them with some technical conveniences. As a result, it was easy to obtain a Level 1 security clearance, and the company successfully passed the audit and registration."Why are there two companies?" Chen Mo flipped through the documents, surprised to see registration materials for two companies."Yes, the situation is a bit special," Zhao Min said, collecting her thoughts before continuing."When you mentioned entering the military industry last time, I personally didn't advocate for the company to get involved, purely from a profit perspective. This field is too troublesome, involves too much sensitive information, and has too many restrictive regulations. One slip-up could lead to major problems.The company isn't short on money, nor are we lacking profitable projects. Your laboratory could easily pull out any number of technologies and make a fortune. The technologies involved in this field are very sensitive, the market is small, and there are no top-tier talents in the country for us to recruit. For cutting-edge high-tech, there can only be one customer: the authorities."Zhao Min pointed a finger toward the ceiling; the implication was self-evident."If the authorities purchase our products, those products might be restricted from export due to technical confidentiality. Without large-scale procurement, it means expenses will exceed income, leading to company losses, not to mention having to face various restrictive clauses.There are private enterprises in this field domestically, and they share a common characteristic: they focus on low-tech logistics supplies, daily necessities production, combat platforms, parts, or non-weapon products like communication platforms.Because of the unique nature of the user, the profit margin is compressed to be very small, not even comparable to any single product under our company. Therefore, domestically, this is not a profitable field for us."Zhao Min analyzed the stakes she had learned about.There are some things they cannot touch, and for which there is no market. For things like fighter jets, ammunition, and war robots, ordinary enterprises can participate in the production of certain parts, but they cannot participate in the overall technological development.Even if designed, they cannot be produced; not even Chen Mo is an exception. These are legal regulations. Messing around might give some people with ulterior motives leverage to target them. When forced into a corner, they could even be punished, unless the company is controlled by the authorities, but then it would no longer belong to them."So that's why there's a second company?" Chen Mo flipped through the documents of the other company—one registered in Africa."Yes, I used legal means to cleverly bypass some restrictions and registered a shadow company in Tanzania. Tanzania is a least-developed country, so as long as you spend some money and make investments, you can easily handle these registration procedures.An overseas military company has some conveniences; if you want to research military weapons, there are many avenues and not so many restrictions. For the sake of logistics, I plan to purchase a piece of coastal land there to serve as the construction site for the overseas military company's R&D base.If you want to research weaponry and ammunition, the technology can be produced at that overseas company. Combat platforms, such as unarmed robots, drones, radar, vehicles, and communication equipment, can be researched domestically.If the authorities purchase our products and require complete equipment, we can just import the ammunition from overseas and assemble them together. The import and export of that equipment won't be restricted; we just need to consider the geopolitical situation when selecting customers. This is the best method I can think of right now to let you develop technology without restrictions."To understand all of this, Zhao Min had put in a lot of effort, specifically hiring some professionals in the military field to act as consultants to help her understand these matters.If she had a choice, she wouldn't want to enter this field. But since Chen Mo wanted to, she could only do her best to help him. As for whether it would be profitable, that depended on his situation."Hmm, as long as it can be done, the location doesn't matter," Chen Mo nodded."I've given both companies appropriate names. The one in Tanzania is called Soldier Ant Equipment, and the domestic one is called Worker Ant Defense, referred to as the Soldier Ant Company and the Worker Ant Company, respectively. However, both companies need suitable people to manage and control them, especially the one in Tanzania.""Hmm," Chen Mo nodded. "Thank you for your hard work."Hearing this, Zhao Min revealed a satisfied smile. "It's not hard work; I'm on a salary, so of course I have to work. Do you have any trusted candidates to manage the two companies?""I've thought about it, but having two companies was unexpected," Chen Mo thought for a moment and said. "Since Ink girl's body is finished and I have nothing else to do, let's go and ask for their opinions together now.""Put some clothes on Ink girl first, or someone who doesn't know might think you're a pervert. Do you want me to take a picture and send it to Xiao Yu? Let you kneel on a durian and sleep on the floor tonight?" Zhao Min looked at Chen Mo playfully.Chen Mo was speechless. He walked to a nearby glass cabinet, took down a set of specially made underwear and a tight-fitting crop top, and brought them over to hand to Ink girl."Put them on and try them out.""Okay."Ink girl took the clothes Chen Mo handed her and put them on without any sense of shyness. The process of putting on the clothes was no different from an ordinary person's; anyone who didn't know would never think that Ink girl was a robot."What's special about these clothes?" Zhao Min asked."Super elasticity and toughness. Theoretically, it can remain intact under one kilogram of TNT, and it can also resist some impact. This outfit cost over six hundred thousand; if you want one, I'll gift you a set later," Chen Mo said.With this outfit, along with the artificial skin and the special alloy underneath, ordinary bombs could not hurt Ink girl at all.Three minutes later, Ink girl was fully dressed.Her figure was graceful, her legs long and slender, all outlined by the tight-fitting outfit. Her waist was exposed to the air, and her skin was fair and flawless, making her incredibly sexy. The aquamarine on her forehead added a touch of mystery to Ink girl.This figure combined the advantages that most women dreamed of.Long legs, a slender waist, flawless skin, a perfect face, and a sesame-sized tear mole under her eye added a touch of liveliness to her face."It's truly lethal," Zhao Min said, admiring Ink girl's figure with envy. "With this figure and face, if she went to a beauty pageant, she could probably take home the championship.""Ink girl designed this body and appearance by referencing some of the body data of Sister Xiao Yu and Sister Zhao Min," Ink girl said."I love hearing that. No wonder this guy was watching with such relish," Zhao Min said, seemingly pleased to hear someone else's praise. "If you take Ink girl out and get photographed by reporters, tomorrow's major headlines will be: Genius Chen Mo suspected of cheating with a mysterious beauty."Chen Mo beside her rubbed his forehead, unable to retort. "Let's go. Ink girl, notify Wang Hai and the others to go to my office and wait for me; I have something to tell them."Chen Mo led the way out of the robot laboratory, with Zhao Min and Ink girl following on his left and right.
