"Dr. Sidiliel, it's been a long time since we last met. I've always wanted to thank you in person, but unfortunately I never had the chance."
In a conference room at the Navy Headquarters, Oran and Mitt met again. Mitt always had respect for Oran who gave him a new life.
However, he has been fighting on the front line in recent years, and Oran does not have a fixed position, so there is no chance for them to meet at all.
If it weren't for the World Government setting an example for him, Mitt's promotion speed wouldn't have been so fast. Except for those newcomers who were born monsters, most of the navy's early promotion speed was not fast.
Even Zefa, who officially entered the battlefield at the age of 18, took ten years to become a junior non-commissioned officer. After that, it was much faster. With the explosive growth of his strength, it took him another ten years to become the youngest admiral at that time.
"It's nothing. I just gave you a chance. Everything you have today is your own achievement."
"You're welcome. If it weren't for this arm, I'd still be living a life of drunkenness in this small town."
"Wait, take it down and let me see it."
Looking at the prosthesis on Mitt's body, Orlan felt that it seemed to have gone through a lot of hardships over the years. Compared to its appearance when it first appeared, which was so delicate that it was no different from a human arm, it now seemed to have undergone a lot of unprofessional repairs.
The artificial skin was damaged over a large area, and the repaired parts had an unnatural feel.
Raising his hand, he grabbed the metal tube connecting the prosthesis to the body. Zack's body extended along Oran's palm and opened all the safety locks within a second.
When Orlan took the prosthesis in his hands, Mitt didn't even react. Even though he had been using this thing for several years, it would take him several minutes to remove it.
At this time, Mitt even suspected that he had overused it, causing his arm to fall into disrepair.
"That crude welding must be a bit slow to use lately, right?"
Looking at the scar-like welding marks and damaged artificial muscle tissue on the mechanical humerus, Oran, as the designer, could already foresee the problems that would arise during use.
"Occasionally, but it's just a little stiffness, and it's gone quickly."
"That's because the debris was crushed by the joints, and this won't work in the long run.
It's not bad, after all, this thing was designed for civilian use, not even police equipment."
Mitt forcibly brought an ordinary prosthetic limb to a more intense environment, and as the intensity of his combat increased, the prosthetic limb could no longer keep up with the intensity of the combat.
At first, the enemies were helpless against the iron arm, but as the enemies gradually gained the ability to cut iron, the arm was no longer a panacea.
"This is why we invited you here, Dr. Sidilir. Your prosthetic technology shouldn't be limited to this."
"General Sengoku! Lieutenant General Crane!"
Mitt wanted to salute, but his right arm was in Orlan's hand. In the end, he froze for a moment and made a rather strange movement.
Zhan Guo just waved his hand casually and didn't care. Mitt was not a key character. Mitt was here only because he was a beneficiary of prosthetic technology.
"Of course, as long as the price is right, there are ways to upgrade this prosthetic body, but how far you can go depends on your needs."
"General Zhan Guo, Dr. Sidilier, since there is nothing for me to do, I will leave here first."
Seeing that Zhan Guo and Orlan were about to negotiate, Mitt wisely planned to leave first, but He stopped him.
"No need, Captain Mitte. You can just sit in and listen. We never intended to keep this matter secret. As the actual user of the prosthesis, you can also provide more valuable opinions."
Before the awarding of the medal, Mitt's military rank remained unchanged, and only his friends would privately call him Colonel in advance.
At the instruction of He, Mitt stayed here, but also stood silently at the back. It was a bit inappropriate for him to sit aside in such an occasion. Finally, he stood at the door with Frankenstein.
[The Doctor's daughter? She was her a few years ago, wasn't she? Speaking of which, the Doctor's face hasn't changed much over the years. How old is he, anyway?]
Can I absorb some of the electricity here?
While the two door gods were thinking about trivial matters, the conversation between Zhan Guo and Oran also got to the point.
The navy has its own independence, and most of the things they do do not require additional reporting. As the successor favored by Kong, Zhan Guo can represent the opinions of the navy's top brass, and he and He are already sufficient to complete subsequent discussions.
"The price is right. Dr. Sidiliel, you should understand that if you're referring to a cost of hundreds of millions of berries, then we can call it a day."
"Of course not, but if you want, I can make you a work at that price, and you will definitely feel that it is worth the money.
The cost can be adjusted based on the product's needs, depending on the strength you want. If it's just a prosthetic for an ordinary soldier, then 1 million Baileys will be enough."
Although both are basic models, the military version is even simpler to manufacture than the civilian version that Mitt is wearing. The technical level is the same, the only difference is the material.
In order to improve combat efficiency, the military version will sacrifice aesthetics to a certain extent. For example, artificial skin can be shaved off, and even many aspects will be simplified, and some electronic components will be deleted.
The reason is simple. The simpler the mechanical structure, the lower the probability of damage. Being tough and durable is the key point.
Excluding material costs, this is actually easier to manufacture.
"Adding specialized weapon modules and expanding the scope of modification are all within our capabilities. I have a rough price list here that you two can take a look at."
Orlan slid over a form that listed the prices for various types of prosthetics and accessories.
This is not an ordinary world, but an extraordinary world, where individual combat power can even cause the collapse of islands.
Therefore, the basic prosthesis has a limitation in its ability range, and steel-cutting is the first threshold.
Beyond this threshold, the strength of steel and flesh goes beyond people's understanding and requires further strengthening.
The Pacifist in the original timeline is a steel creation, and its cost is comparable to that of a large warship, but its role in the New World is still not high. But outside the New World, this thing can basically go sideways.
Orlan's prosthesis also has similar features, but his target was not originally those high-level combat forces.
When their strength reaches that level, they won't mind using technology to repair limbs after losing them in an accident, but they will never give up their original bodies for a mechanical creation.
The biggest role of cheap and mass-produced prosthetics is to enhance grassroots combat effectiveness.
"Dr. Sidilir, we don't doubt your skills, but we have a new proposal. What do you think about joining the Naval Science Corps?"
