Chapter 887: Chapter 469: Is Expert Bai Mo Squandering Money?

Bai Mo Pharmaceutical Factory.

The workshop space was spacious and brightly lit.

In the previously vacant northern section of the workshop, an over two hundred square meter metal structure had appeared.

Engineers from "Spais Mechanical Company" were joyfully entering and exiting this metal structure, installing and adjusting equipment.

"Follow the manual and check the screws again!"

"See if the transformer oil is sufficient?"

"As for the software, run a test program first."

Occasionally, pharmaceutical factory workers would sneak a peek at the commotion.

"Is this the new super centrifuge?"

"I heard it’s worth a hundred million?"

"Oh my god, that’s so expensive?"

"That’s the price Expert Bai Mo set. Three million rotations base, with an extra ten million for every additional million rotations. This machine has twelve million rotations!"

A group of students was also waiting to watch.

It was surprisingly Wan Bocheng and others, watching the machine and discussing animatedly.

"A hundred million, even in the instrument world, it’s very expensive, right?"

"Extremely expensive!"

"Ten billion can buy an entire lithography machine industry chain, an entire set!"

"Globally, there aren’t many pieces of equipment with a single unit value of over a billion."

Wan Bocheng’s eyes shone brightly.

"But, it’s worth the price!

"Twelve million rotations! Two meters in diameter! Ten cubic meters in volume!

"When it starts up, the centrifugal acceleration it can provide is a terrifying astronomical number!"

"Sixteen million g? Did I miscalculate?"

"Sounds so sci-fi."

Yang Zhan was also craning his neck to look.

"It takes up so much space!

"Isn’t it supposed to be ten cubic meters?

"This is taking up at least two hundred square meters?"

Wan Bocheng patiently explained.

"This is a magnetic levitation super centrifuge.

"If it were a mechanical centrifuge, the mechanical structure couldn’t withstand such high rotational speed, it would generate friction heat, deform, wear out, and be unusable.

"What you see taking up over a hundred square meters is the casing providing the magnetic field.

"Not only is there a magnetic field, but look at that room, there are also transformers providing it with extremely strong voltage and current.

"To the left is a dedicated small room for a computer, as this thing requires a specialized control software suite.

"In any case... today has been eye-opening."

Yang Zhan was deeply impressed.

"Indeed... eye-opening.

"So, this company defeated both Aoweiwei, Ai Caoqian, and all the research institutes under the Immortal Committee?

"How are they so powerful?"

Wan Bocheng explained.

"Because... their specialty is supersonic centrifuges.

"They just presented their solution, tackled some challenges, upgraded it, and improved the extreme parameters."

The students all nodded, continuing to watch, observing these engineers and the mechanical facilities.

They all craned their necks, eyes wide open, occasionally stepping a couple of paces to get a different view, too afraid to get too close... after all, this thing is quite expensive.

Other employees of the pharmaceutical factory also kept their distance.

Only Bai Mo’s fox apprentice, Screwball Claw, frowned, swinging its tail, leaning in close, craning its neck, sometimes watching the engineers debug software, sometimes watching them adjust equipment.

"Aoo aoo aoo?"

As the rotating General Manager Xiao Hu of the pharmaceutical factory, supervising here, it acted calmly and composedly, with attention to detail, vulpine eyes catching every single detail!

Though... it didn’t understand a thing!

But it had to put on a show of confidence!

Suddenly hearing footsteps, it saw its master bring Fang Xiaoyu and Wu Qingyun from afar, discussing something as they walked.

"Ying ying ying!"

It scurried over, leapt into its master’s arms in a flash.

Bai Mo smiled, hugging his apprentice.

Continuing the discussion with Fang Xiaoyu.

"... This Spice’s twelve million rotation super centrifuge is already very good.

"Ai Caoqian’s four million rotation machine... um..."

Bai Mo turned his head to see the massive metal cabinet at the other side... it was Ai Caoqian’s super centrifuge being installed.

In fact, Ai Caoqian’s came first and its performance had been validated, it was quite decent.

But compared to this one from Spice, it seemed somewhat lacking.

Bai Mo hesitated for a moment.

"... Negotiate with Ai Caoqian, offer a bit less money, find a price that works for both sides, and keep it.

"It will still be useful in the future.

Fang Xiaoyu nodded.

"Spice’s machine can be considered a top-notch creation of human technology, right?"

Bai Mo smiled, not saying much more.

He had already reviewed Spice’s design plans and blueprints, checked the control software, and even used his Divine Sense to inspect the interior... there were indeed no Immortal Technique circuits inside. But some of the special curves, arcs, and metal structures were also not products of human technology. There was involvement from an Ancient Immortal at a master level in Immortal Artifact Path designs!

He was about to head over to Spice when he saw Wan Bocheng and others running over, stars in their eyes.

"Wow, does this thing really worth a hundred million?

"Imagine a hundred million stacked in a treasury, what a space it would take up? Hahaha."

"Your machine is trending!"

Yang Zhan held his phone up, showing it to Bai Mo, revealing that the top trending topic on the Immortal Discussion Forum was [Super instrument worth over a billion]

Bai Mo was about to chuckle when he saw the second headline.

[Do we really need a new type of bulletproof material?]

And then the third headline.

[Doesn’t Expert Bai Mo have a bit too much money?]

Bai Mo felt a pang of discomfort, his mouth twitching.

Yang Zhan, having only seen the first, also noticed the second and third headlines now, offered an awkward smile, and put his phone away.

After chatting a while with classmates, Bai Mo, while walking towards the machine, took out his phone to browse the Immortal Discussion Forum.
