There are multiple ways to drive a spring.

First, fix it externally. After the steel strip is rolled inside, the tension is released outward, driving the middle shaft and the gears, releasing mechanical force.

Second, fix it internally. Pull the steel strip outward and use the inward contraction force, like pulling out a measuring tape and retracting it back into the tape box, la la la... click!

Others, not mentioned.

Based on the second method, Xu Fei designed a catapult for the toad monster.

Now that a big client has come, wanting to create a real thing, he suddenly thought, if he replaced the internal parts used by engineers with a spring from a catapult, pulling the bolt or the sleeve, it would be equivalent to pulling out the spring. Then, by pulling the trigger, the spring that is retracting back can send out the plastic bullets, right?

In this way, the basic production line can produce their own original "Spring Toy - Tin Pistol".

Of course, this is just a toy, lacking springs, plates, and impact hammers, it is far from being compared to a real one.

So, it is legal and compliant.

As for what the buyers do with the toy shells, that is not something that a toy manufacturer like us should consider. Just like the many chemical explosion incidents worldwide, do we have to seek compensation from cosmetic manufacturers?

Xu Fei glanced at Jiang Tao and the others whispering to each other and decided to give it a try, while also leaving some time for private communication with the big clients.

With the big horse, he arrived at the abandoned toad monster factory.

He started the basic production line's built-in computer and brought up a semi-transparent page to read the engineer's notes.

[Engineer's Self-defense Armed Forces, manufacturing requires the activation of a new basic production line.]

Length: 180mm, weight of an empty gun: 0.83kg, bullet size: 9*19mm, aiming baseline: 155mm, 6 right-hand rifling grooves, effective range: 100 meters...

Accuracy Index: 10

Durability: 10

Power Index: 10

Man-machine Effectiveness: 10

Comprehensive Score: 10

As early as the night he met the big horse, Xu Fei dug out the small biubiu buried in the yard. Men like this kind of thing.

However, when he tried to disassemble and analyze it, the base had no response.

It wasn't until he brought up the technology list that he discovered that below the "Spring Toy - Tin Series", there was an additional "Individual Mechanical - Engineer's Self-defense Armed Forces".

And at that time, when he repaired the "Camp" module, the basic production line was upgraded, and he exchanged for a new one that could produce complex mechanical devices.

In other words, it could manufacture biubiu.

But in China, even joint ventures don't have the qualifications to produce biubiu, let alone individuals.

Xu Fei didn't want to cause trouble for himself, nor did he want to waste a basic production line, so he had always left it idle.

But now, he could completely use its shell.

The engineer's exclusive small biubiu didn't have an ugly or good-looking appearance, it could only be described as plain and unremarkable.

Adjusting the parameters, there was no change in appearance, and there were no major changes internally.

But if all the parameters were lowered to the minimum, all becoming 0.1...

In the next second, a golden, extremely exaggerated, and almost blinding small biubiu with a golden dragon head appeared on the screen.

"If this thing is taken to the battlefield, I'm afraid it will attract the attention of the world and be pointed at by thousands."

Xu Fei reset the parameters, dragged the mouse, and disassembled it.

Then he removed the spring, impact hammer, and impact plate, creating a small space inside the barrel.

Then, based on the shape of the space, he designed a spring group similar to a measuring tape and led the spring to the front end of the sleeve.

Pulling the sleeve backward, he hung the spring on a detachable small and delicate plate, connecting the plate to the trigger. Pulling the trigger, the spring retracts, and at the end, it strikes the plastic bullet, sending it out of the barrel...

[Spring Toy - Tin Pistol]

Xu Fei saw the prompt and checked the specific parameters.

Except for power, accuracy, and range, which were greatly reduced, the others, such as durability and man-machine effectiveness, didn't change much.

He immediately ended the operation and chose to open the model card slot.

As for the electrolytic purification of raw materials and the electroplating strengthening of semi-finished products, a special alloy phosphor bronze was used to make the spring...

It's just for show, why take it so seriously?

Moreover, the cost is too high, and military factories won't buy it either.

As for the appearance...

Now that there is no shortage of energy, he will let Tang Mo and the others design several luxurious styles based on the engineer's small biubiu, and then open a new model card slot to launch a real spring pistol.

Add a conveyor belt, no need for logistics distribution, it will appear directly in the factory.

Xu Fei entered the parameters of the engineer's small biubiu and confirmed production.

Affected by factors such as consumables, technology, and manufacturing processes, the production time increased, energy acquisition increased, and the output plummeted.

On average, the daily output is only 10,000 pieces, but the energy obtained is on par with the Mechanical Three Kingdoms.

………………An hour later.

Xu Fei returned to the conference room with Da Ma.

Jiang Tao and his team had also reached a conclusion.

"Director Xu, it's not difficult to manufacture handguns. Any motorcycle manufacturer can handle all the parts.

The reason we came to your factory is that we found the error between the same models of your Three Kingdoms mechanical toys to be extremely low. This indicates that your factory's equipment is very advanced and can precisely control the parameters. Therefore, we offer the most sincere outsourcing price, 500 yuan per piece.

According to our plan, we will first order 50,000 sets, with low prices and large quantities, to open up overseas sales in one fell swoop, then secure a portion of the orders to lay the foundation for the factory's transformation.

If we change the materials, especially the design, the risk is too high and it goes against our original intention."

"Sounds reasonable!"

Xu Fei nodded seriously, casually placing the newly made wind-up handgun on the table, "How about this one?"

"Hmm? Beretta M9?"

Although Jiang Tao and his team were in the military industry and had never touched an M9, they could recognize this North American service weapon at a glance.

After a moment of surprise, Jiang Tao was the first to pick it up to feel its weight, "It feels like the real thing!"

He then unlocked the safety, removed the magazine, loaded the magazine, pulled the slide, and pulled the trigger against the wall.

Without a plastic bullet, it naturally dry-fired...

"I feel like something is off."

After playing with it for a while, Jiang Tao disassembled the shell and saw the tiny wind-up mechanism hidden in a narrow corner and the 'decorative' baffle. He felt his eyelids twitching, "We'll take this toy gun. What's the factory price?"

"1000!"

"10,000 for the first batch, 10,000 for the second batch, and 30,000 for the third batch once we receive the payment. The transaction will be completed within a year, how about that?"

"Sorry, this quantity is too small for our toy factory."

"Huh?"

"Do you know how much goods foreign traders order each time we accept?"

"How much?"

"Starting from 200,000 sets."

Jiang Tao was silent for a moment, "Director Xu, I won't hide it from you, our factory currently only has 30 million available funds. How about this, we first pay 30 million, and the remaining payment will be paid in the form of a percentage. For example, if the total order amount is 50 million, the remaining 20 million will be averaged to each product. For each one we sell, in addition to repaying the remaining payment, we will also pay an extra 20 yuan to your factory."

"That means the profit per piece has increased by 20."

"Right!"

"Brother Jiang, do you think I'm the kind of person who cares about that 20 yuan?"

The reason Xu Fei agreed to 'cash on delivery' with foreign traders is mainly because the overseas market is complex, and foreign traders may not be able to collect the payment at any time.

If the other party is cheated, or if they capsize in the middle of the journey and feed the sharks...

Who are we going to ask for money from?

Moreover, doing business in armed forces is even more dangerous.

Therefore, Xu Fei would rather earn less, but get the full payment.

"Since Brother Jiang is short of funds, let's change the way we cooperate."

"Director Xu, please go on."

"How influential is your factory in Lincheng?"

"In what aspect?"

"From the top."

"It's quite okay. Although our factory is located in a poor mountainous area, we were the only military factory in the Yimeng area resisting the Japanese decades ago. It's just that we couldn't develop later and fell into this state. But considering the symbolic meaning of our factory's code name, the current predicament, and the support of the top leaders in Lincheng, we can say that we have unconditional support in anything related to the development of our factory, at least in the southeast corner of East Mountain."

"In that case, we can sign a transfer agreement. After determining the total order amount, you pay 30 million, and the remaining payment...

First, assess the land around Lincheng and the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, determine the overall value and deduct the demolition costs, then transfer it to us to offset the payment. However much the remaining payment is, we'll take that much land.

Once your factory sells all the goods, transfer the money to the local land department. In this way, the toy factory gets the order, your factory gets the goods, and Lincheng gets a sum of money. It's a win-win-win!"

"This..."

Jiang Tao was somewhat tempted. After pondering for a moment, he picked up his phone, apologized, and quickly left the conference room.

It took half an hour before he returned, reeking of smoke.

"Director Xu, the top has agreed. For the first batch of 50,000 sets, we will first pay 30 million, and the remaining 20 million will be offset with land. However, the specific details will require your factory to send someone to Lincheng for a face-to-face discussion."

"No problem!"

Sorry, my computer broke down and I couldn't turn it on. I had to make do with a mobile phone outline. Since I'm now writing more than 300 chapters, the plot of this chapter is a bit too far back. Once I remove the hard drive and read the content, it may be overwritten, or it may not be. Hopefully, it can connect to the next chapter.
