Chapter 216: Strange Father

Tessa sat in the back seat of the Maybach Benz and looked around strangely. Although the car looked no different from before, she always felt that something had changed.

"Bano, has this car been driven out some time ago? I feel something is wrong."

Balvino, who was sitting in the driver's seat, had installed bombs in the cars of assassinated targets before. He immediately checked the interior of the car vigilantly, opened the hood, and checked the bottom of the car.

"No bomb, miss."

Balvino sat back in the driver's seat with some doubts.

"What's wrong?"

Cade was wearing a neat suit, his leather shoes were polished, and even his hair was shiny with hairspray. He looked five or six years younger.

"Miss, there's something wrong with the car."

"Ahem!" Cade coughed a few times: "Not long ago, I sent the car to my friend for bulletproof modification. Now Tessa has a good reputation, and there are many criminal gangs in Texas, and they may target it."

"Dad!" Tessa was touched.

"You should have told me about this in advance. You bought so many vehicles for the farm two days ago, and even an agricultural aircraft. Where did you get the money?"

Now, whether it is Broly or Cade, all the money is managed by Tessa.

"The prices of these vehicles are very high, especially the agricultural aircraft modified from the A-1 attack aircraft, which costs at least more than five million in total."

Such a large expenditure, Cade's private money alone is definitely not enough.

"Ahem, these vehicles are entrusted to me by that friend to manage for him."

Cade explained.

"Why don't I know you have such a friend?"

Tessa looked at Cade with questioning eyes.

Cade couldn't bear it:

"I also have some secrets of my own."

Tessa gave up unwillingly. She just wanted Cade to stop dreaming about unrealistic inventions, not to sever the father-daughter relationship.

"Let's go, Bano."

They were going to Austin. At Tessa's strong request, Cade was going to go to the design studio to guide the work.

As soon as Bano started the car, the entire Mercedes-Benz Maybach roared. Even with the excellent sound insulation inside the car, it could be heard clearly.

Tessa turned her head and looked at Cade.

"By the way, I changed the power. Ahem, the weight of the car increased a lot after the bulletproof modification, so the engine was also changed."

Cade explained with a guilty conscience, and quietly hammered the car door with his fist.

"Cade, you must introduce your friend to me."

Balvino had never felt such abundant power even in those supercars. He lightly pressed the accelerator, and the entire luxury car weighing nearly three tons started as if nothing, and rushed forward. The engine was just a small test, and the whole car quickly climbed to more than 120 yards.

Even at this speed, the car was still quiet and no noise could be heard. The only way to confirm that they were driving at high speed was from the desert passing by the window.

Cade breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the iron sheet did not play any tricks, otherwise he really couldn't explain it.

Going straight all the way to Austin, the engineers in the studio have been waiting there for a long time. The more they studied the modified power exoskeleton, the more they admired Cade and couldn't wait to learn from him.

Especially Ivan Vanko, who had a much deeper understanding of mechanical design and processing than other engineers, and he always didn't believe that this was something that existing technology could do.

Now that he could meet the designer, he should be able to solve his doubts.

Not long after, Tessa led Cade into the studio. It was Cade's first time to come to the studio. He looked up and down at 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 technology."

Tessa introduced Cade.

Cade still has a good eye. He saw at a glance that this CNC machine tool was a bit unusual. He tried to operate it, used the machine tool to process a part, and measured the size of the part with a laser. He found that the processing accuracy of this machine tool was unexpectedly high. The technical content of this is much higher than that of the previous powered exoskeleton.

With a chill in his heart, he was sure that the engineer hired by his daughter was beyond his reach.

"Great, young people are really formidable. 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 Vanko, who had been watching Cade's every move, raised his eyebrows. He found 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 processing accuracy of the lathe by an order of magnitude. When operating the machine tool just now, Cade turned a blind eye to this fault several times, which was 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 Cade questions. Most of the questions were about the new powered exoskeleton. They got a sample of the new powered exoskeleton, but they had no idea where to start, let alone design a process for mass production.

Even with a high level of technology, Ivan Vanko can only manufacture new powered exoskeletons by manually operating machine tools and assembling them manually.

To Tessa's surprise, Cade was able to speak eloquently, and no matter what questions the engineers raised, he could get to the point in one sentence and propose reasonable solutions based on existing processes.

Ivan raised some problems that existing engineering processes could not solve, and Cade only pondered for a moment and proposed a new technical concept. Although it has not been put into practice, even Ivan Vanko had to admit that it is highly feasible.

Under the new technology proposed by Cade, the manufacturing difficulty of the new powered exoskeleton has been greatly reduced. Even after a slight modification of the production process, the CNC machine tool in the studio can be used to start mass production, and the monthly output can reach about 18 units.

But even so, the cost of the new powered exoskeleton is still shockingly high. Even if the profit is reduced, it is still a luxury that only a few people can afford.

Tessa's almond-shaped eyes were wide open, and she looked at her father in disbelief, as if she was in a dream.
