A challenge?
President Feng Weihao of the Hurricane Conglorate actually issued a public challenge!
This was an unexpected turn of events for everyone, but on second thought, it seed like an anticipated move from the Hurricane Conglorate.
After all, the Northern Goose Group's quoted price for the T2 Mastiff-class dium Interstellar Destroyer had already completely exceeded the Hurricane Conglorate's acceptable range.
A price of three million star coins!
This was like stabbing the Hurricane Conglorate in the heart with a knife.
Perhaps so might say, 'Then why doesn't your Hurricane Conglorate lower its price?'
They are offering three million star coins, so you offer two and a half million star coins!
Anyway, your manufacturing cost is only two hundred thousand star coins, so there's still profit margin, isn't there?
Even if the T2 Hyena continuously lowers its price, there's still profit margin, but this doesn't an the Hurricane Conglorate can lower its price indefinitely.
If you now lower the price to three million star coins, or even two and a half million star coins,
what about the custors who previously paid four million star coins for your Starship?
What about the custors who just signed contracts and haven't even received their Interstellar Warship yet?
I haven't even gotten my interstellar warship yet, and you're having a huge price drop, a quarter off?
If the Hurricane Conglorate dared to do that, the cost would be quite terrifying!
The only solution President Feng Weihao could think of was to challenge the Northern Goose Group's T2 Mastiff!
Such challenges are permitted.
Because before the Military Procurent Committee began, considering the confidentiality of core technology for various Starship manufacturers, the Empire would not require the disclosure of too much core data technology, only basic Starship-related data would be tested.
As for other performance data, it was entirely provided by the Starship manufacturer themselves.
This also led to so Starship manufacturers taking risks, exaggerating their interstellar warship performance to a certain extent, or neglecting data aspects like reliability and stability while pursuing Starship combat power.
Historically, there have been cases where so Interstellar Warship boasted about their performance, initially showing comndable combat power, but after a few years of service, they constantly developed various problems.
Of course, the Empire would not suffer in silence; those Starship manufacturers also paid the corresponding price.
Although such situations are rare, it does not rule out the possibility of such problems actually occurring.
Therefore, to ensure fairness in such military procurent exhibitions, the Empire granted participants 'right to challenge'.
However, if the challenge fails, the challenging party will bear all the expenses incurred throughout the process and will forfeit their deposit for participating in this Military Procurent Committee.
This was President Feng Weihao gambling!
He didn't believe that this suddenly rising Northern Goose Group could truly develop an interstellar warship that completely surpassed his T2 Hyena.
The host then ca onto the stage and solemnly asked the President of the Hurricane Conglorate: "President Feng Weihao, do you challenge the credibility of your competitor's T2 Mastiff-class dium Interstellar Destroyer's performance data?"
"Yes!" President Feng Weihao said through gritted teeth.
The host imdiately looked at the Military Procurent Committee seats: "Next, the Military Procurent Committee will discuss the Hurricane Conglorate's challenge against the Northern Goose Group's product. Please wait a mont."
The mbers of the Military Procurent Committee began discussing the matter.
To be honest, they hadn't expected the T2 Mastiff to offer such a price with such performance.
If it was truly as Li Yaqi said, then choosing the T2 Mastiff would undoubtedly be the best option for this military procurent order.
However, compared to the long-established T2 Hyena, the T2 Mastiff was filled with too much mystery and uncertainty.
"mbers of the Military Procurent Committee, I accept the challenge raised by the Hurricane Conglorate against our group.
I suggest that since the Hurricane Conglorate believes that the performance of the T2 Mastiff-class Heavy Interstellar Destroyer developed and manufactured by our group is fraudulent, why not directly have a duel!
The true place for an interstellar warship to demonstrate its capabilities should not be in this setting, but in actual Starship combat." Li Yaqi's words were astonishing.
The entire audience was in an uproar!
No one expected Li Yaqi to actually propose a Starship duel between her T2 Mastiff and the Hurricane Conglorate's T2 Hyena.
But on second thought, isn't this the best way for these two Interstellar Warship to prove themselves?
"Please wait a mont, our Military Procurent Committee needs to discuss this proposal." The Military Procurent Committee mbers were already in discussion.
The crowd in the venue was also buzzing with discussion.
Inside the private room.
Chu Xuan exclaid, "This move by Li Yaqi is truly excellent. First, she directly benchmarked against the Hurricane Conglorate's interstellar warship, stepping on the T2 Hyena to rise.
Then, she threw out the price of three million star coins, a price the Hurricane Conglorate could not possibly compete with.
Now, facing the Hurricane Conglorate's challenge, she calmly chose a Starship duel!
If the performance of Li Yaqi's T2 Mastiff is truly as excellent as she claims,
if there really is such a Starship duel, then Li Yaqi is completely using the Hurricane Conglorate's T2 Hyena as her stepping stone.
And a very perfect stepping stone at that.
In just one day, the T2 Mastiff-class dium Interstellar Destroyer will beco famous overnight! It will seize all the market share of the T2 Hyena-class dium Interstellar Destroyer!"
"Three million star coins! That's a price I completely didn't expect either," Su Lan nodded.
Xue Xiaoxiao, anwhile, was sowhat looking forward to the upcoming Starship duel.
Zhao Wan'er looked at Zhao Chen, who had a slight smile on his face, and always had a feeling he was a cunning rchant. She suspected even more that the instigator of this T2 Mastiff-class dium Interstellar Destroyer was her own older brother.
After several tens of minutes of discussion by the Military Procurent Committee, a committee representative stood up and said, "After our Military Procurent Committee's discussion and confirmation,
all Interstellar Warship except Starship Six and Starship Seven are eliminated from this military procurent selection.
And we agree to the Starship duel between Starship Six, the Northern Goose Group, and Starship Seven, the Hurricane Conglorate.
This Starship duel will simulate a real battlefield, with both sides dispatching thirty Interstellar Warship each to engage in combat in a designated area.
The ti is set for five hours from now; both parties, please prepare imdiately."
The words of the committee representative imdiately elevated the atmosphere in the venue to its peak.
A peak duel between two T2 Interstellar Destroyers, this was simply too exciting.
It would definitely beco the most sensational headline of this military procurent.
Li Yaqi smiled and t President Feng Weihao's gaze, electric sparks seemingly flying between their eyes.
Subsequently, at the request of the Staff, they each departed to prepare for this Starship duel.
