They could get in touch directly with Adkaduo at the Red Shirt Factory and use the furnace to forge Chroni Titanium, making real Mackinaws according to the needs—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, real Mackinaws, not the fakes sold by Thunder Company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Mackinaw General Vehicle Manufacturing Company had not yet completed the entire process, it was already preparing its flagship product—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This vehicle drew upon the original design of the Mackinaw Pika, utilized technology that had merged from two worlds, and was produced with data personally tuned by the onboard AI Da Mai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just like Artificial Blood, it would be produced through cross-dimensional cooperation by workers and engineers from both worlds, partly to help the African Union enhance its base industrial capability and further reduce the cost of industrial materials, including high-end materials such as graphene batteries and Chroni Titanium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also to increase the overall supply chain stability of the Atlas Group; if there were a war, it would be essential to reduce reliance on external supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, the vehicles used by the Atlas Group were all produced by other manufacturers, designed by Atlas, and then built by them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This collaboration was not reliable, especially in times of war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[New cross-dimensional industrial product added: Mackinaw Mammoth (Vehicle)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Description: A civilian vehicle fully produced by the entire supply chain of the Atlas Group and Night City Hamburg Criminal Group, using Chroni Titanium instead of conventional high-strength steel frame, equipped with distributed graphene batteries, and an onboard AI second only in intelligence to a potential hazard critical entity, to assist in controlling posture and can input weapons data for smart fire control.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though a civilian vehicle, it only requires some weapons modifications to serve military purposes, which is essentially how all buyers use it.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Data: 800 horsepower Vulture VUL21 engine (hybrid); Net weight 4536 kg; Top speed 300 km\u002Fh; Chassis can withstand a blast equivalent to 20 kg of TNT; Onboard AI; All-wheel drive.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Current cross-dimensional industrial categories: Medicine and Biotechnology (Entry Level); Vehicles (Entry Level)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Quantum Resonance (Entry Level): Reduces the probability of yield loss due to uncontrollable factors such as process variation, human factors, and tolerances in design, improves production efficiency, and quality approaches ideal values.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Engineers from both worlds will break down the production line data into individual modules and encapsulate them into Skill Chips, allowing workers to operate directly after a short training period, greatly shortening the training cycle, and maintaining high security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille integrated the entire vehicle design and after completing all these, he glanced at his system panel, thinking that it was indeed time to fine-tune the supply chain and industry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[News from another world:]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Sherman: Ghost...

I need to look at the costs. Based on my understanding of the market, it should atleast... I can’t say for sure.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Sherman: Dad, a typical vehicle of this military classification usually goes for around 100,000 to 200,000 euros. Our car might be a bit too... high-end.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lille: Then sell it for that much.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an entry-level Mackinaw, the Mammoth’s stats completely surpassed those of other companies’ vehicles at this level, and not just by a little bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This caused some difficulty: Lille’s requirement for the vehicle was an entry-level armored car, but in reality, aside from having less space, Sherman felt it could easily compete with the large armored transport vehicles from Bimong...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take for instance the 800 horsepower, which honestly was a bit of overkill and completely unnecessary, and then there’s the chassis that could withstand a 20 kg TNT blast... Honestly, it was already at the quality level of a product from a military technology company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first car from a no-name small factory having the quality of a product from a multinational military industrial giant... and even managing to reach the quality level of similar vehicles, previous pricing experiences had become somewhat unreliable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in terms of production costs, Lille hadn’t marked down any research and development costs, so considering only production costs, the main expenses were for Chroni Titanium and graphene batteries. As for other high-strength steel and components...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can only be said that they are not expensive, and might even be considered dirt cheap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selling the vehicle for 200,000 euros still yields a profit, albeit a smaller one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Sherman: Then our production capacity... Okay, we don’t really have much to speak of, but this kind of armored vehicle generally requires official approval before it can be sold to qualified entities. If there were other channels...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lille: There will be other channels, get moving on it.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Sherman: Alright, Dad. The Old Captain said he also wants to buy one, what do you think...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lille: Don’t bother me with such trivial matters.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first vehicle was prepared for David; he was fortunate enough to become the first customer of Mackinaw General Vehicles Company, and the vehicle would even be based on the model used as the President’s official car on Marvel’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for who the customers would be thereafter, it didn’t really matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille stepped out of the control room, headed towards the reception room, and thought silently: David was quite the character, and seemed very trustworthy— it didn’t feel like he would suddenly betray them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to be honest, their team... seemed very unpredictable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hoped there wouldn’t be any slip-ups and that they would figure out the situation with the information the agent had in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille rose from the control console, exited the control room, and took the private elevator, heading for the reception room—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This reception room was actually located in the basement of Atlas Group’s headquarters, perfect for handling secretive matters. To put it bluntly, even if Lille killed someone in there, the homicide case would remain unsolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It appeared Pepper and Happy were indeed in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It couldn’t possibly be that Tony Stark had been kidnapped by Rocksen, could it?\u003C\u002Fp>",1279,"2026-06-03T12:33:32.470Z","2026-06-03T12:33:39.371Z",1,"novelbin.me","54fe630511ac0c951251fc97295e168561aebfb3ec2c6a81f6cf719cbe26f20b","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-731","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-730",1068,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-cover.jpg"]
