The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons

Chapter 26： Transit base
Chapter 26 Transit Base

In addition, there are 50 destroyer blueprints and materials. The unit price is 15 million blueprints and 90 million materials respectively. The total price is 750 million blueprints + 4.5 billion stars for materials.

and 500 frigate blueprints and materials, the unit price is 2 million blueprints and 12 million materials respectively, and the total price is 1 billion blueprints + 6 billion materials.

Regardless of destroyers or frigates, they are all standard Tornado-class destroyers and standard Haiyan-class frigates.

In addition, he spent a full 2.5 billion star dollars to purchase a finished super-large transport ship of the Dushen class. It has a total of 50,000 cargo holds, each with 1,000 cubic meters, and a total capacity of 500 billion cubic meters. Towing compartment with its own capacity.

It also spent 2 billion star dollars to purchase five finished Mammoth-class large transport ships, each with 10,000 cargo holds and a total capacity of 100 billion cubic meters. It can also be equipped with trailers five times its own capacity.

A total of 720 million stars, purchased ten medium-sized transport ships and ten small transport ships, with a total capacity of 2 million square meters and 500,000 square meters respectively.

In addition, it also spent 4 billion stars to purchase a super large industrial ship with 40,000 cabins and a total capacity of 40 million square meters.

Two large industrial ships, 7,500 cabins, 7.5 million square meters, unit price 800 million, a total of 1.6 billion stars.

Two medium-sized industrial ships, 1500 cabins, 1.5 million square meters, unit price 150 million, 300 million in total.

Five small industrial ships, 300 cabins, 300,000 square meters, unit price 30 million, 60 million in total.

Then, a total of 10 large mining ships, each containing 8 unmanned reconnaissance drones, 200 unmanned mining robots, 8 mining laser guns, 5,000 cargo holds totaling 5 million square meters, the unit price is 800 million, and the total cost is 80 100 million.

These alone cost him a total of 30.88 billion stars.

Then, it cost about 1.5 billion to purchase a complete set of large standard base modules.

Contains a large main command module, with a cubic size of 1000 meters * 1000 meters * 1000 meters.

Contains nine large auxiliary module cabins, with a rule of 300*300*300 meters.

Contains thirty-six medium-sized auxiliary module cabins, with a rule of 100*100*100 meters.

and one hundred and twenty small auxiliary module cabins, the rule is 30*30*30 meters.

There are also a full 100 large container compartments, each with a space of 50,000 square meters, dedicated to storing supplies.

In addition, there are several sets of water extraction and purification equipment, five large cold storages, food filled with cold storages, two artificial food cultivation production lines, a small biological laboratory of 500 million, a small physics laboratory of 500 million, A small engineering laboratory of 500 million, as well as a dozen or so planetary internal aircraft, and three sets of large-scale ore crushing, screening and refining equipment, each cost up to 1.1 billion star yuan.

Comprehensively, it cost about 6.6 billion, plus the previous cost of 37.48 billion.

In just four days, the assets as high as 40.2 billion stars shrank to 2.73 billion stars.

However, this is not the end. He also spent 300 million star dollars to buy 2,000 robots, and 200 million star dollars to buy 2,000 clones. When the base is established, these labors will come in handy immediately.

At the same time, considering the possibility of boarding a ship for combat, he had to buy a group of marines.

”This money is really worthless!”

Li Qing clicked his tongue, endured the pain in his heart, and gritted his teeth to continue.

There are only two kinds of armies he can directly recruit now, namely clone troopers and robot commandos.

The clone army is a one-star army, which refers to clones specially loaded with various combat skills, which are far stronger than ordinary clones. Each soldier is equipped with standard tactical equipment, a laser rifle, and a high-strength alloy tactical weapon. A dagger, a first aid kit.

At the same time, each team is equipped with two additional armored vehicles, two heavy Gauss machine guns, two electromagnetic sniper guns, and two tactical guided rocket launchers.

Each squadron is equipped with an additional ground aircraft on the existing basis, with a full load of 120 people, which is enough to load the entire squadron and quickly enter the battlefield.

A team of clone troopers with 20 soldiers recruits at a price of 10 million.

A squadron of clone troops with a total of 100 soldiers recruits at a price of 60 million.

The recruiting price of a large group of clone troops with a total of 500 soldiers is 350 million.

Li Qing directly recruited a clone brigade and a robot assault brigade, a total of 1,000 people, and spent a total of 700 million stars.

It is worth mentioning that the full-staffed Marine Corps has its own command. The squad has a small leader, the squadron has a squadron leader, and the brigade has a large captain. Moreover, the clone troop and the robot commando do not need a salary, nor do they need complicated procedures. Logistics is a kind of cannon fodder that is cheap and easy to use.

In just four days, it took a total of 38.2 billion stars. This set of things can basically satisfy a completely self-sufficient personal base and last for a long time.

But it is basically satisfied, not perfect. In fact, there are still many things that need to be configured, but now the money is running out.

But it’s not a big problem, as long as you can get by in the early stage, go there to make some money first, and then slowly configure it later.

Everything was ready, Li Qing sent a message to Yang Yunbo, giving him the small base and a mine over there.

Anyway, I didn’t have much money, so I was too lazy to spend half a year running there.

The warm radiance of the stars sprinkled into the starry sky, and a destroyer was bathed in the radiance of the stars and slowly left the star port.

After preparing for so long, I finally set sail again.

Without talking to anyone, Li Qing left alone.

Before the destroyer came to the central super star gate of the Jinmen Galaxy, a destroyer paid 3 million tickets. After waiting in line for a short time, the destroyer entered the star gate, and with the surging energy tide, the space began to distort.

This is the main reason why there are stargates in two places, but some large caravans would rather spend a long time traveling through galaxies and across hundreds of light years to the opposite side instead of directly going through the stargates.

It costs money to go directly to the star gate, it is not free.

Generally speaking, a frigate costs 1 million stars, corresponding to small ships.

A destroyer ticket costs 5 million stars, corresponding to a medium-sized ship.

Tickets for a cruiser are 25 million stars, corresponding to large ships.

A battleship ticket is 500 million stars, corresponding to super large ships.

A flagship ticket is 5 billion stars.

And this is only the price within the range of 1000 light-years. If it exceeds this distance, the toll fee will be +1% for each additional light-year.

For every 2,000 light-years, the toll fee for each additional light-year on the basis of 1,000 light-years +2%.

If the distance exceeds 3,000 light years, the toll fee will still be +4% for each additional light year on the basis of 1,000 light years, and so on.

If it is more than 10,000 light-years, the ticket price will be ridiculously high.

Those large caravans consist of tens of hundreds of large or even super-large cargo ships at every turn. If they go to the star gate, the tolls alone will cost billions. What’s the profit for a trip? Who would do it.

Although it is said that some products can still be profitable even if they go to the star gate, for profit-seeking businessmen, billions or even tens of billions are lost for no reason, which cannot pass the psychological hurdle.

Join together to form a larger caravan, spend a few months and a year to travel through the galaxy, and earn tens of billions more?

Waiting for the space to recover again, the destroyer has left the Jinmen Galaxy, and even the Jinmen Province.

Li Qing opened the star map, which showed that his position had left Jinmen Province and arrived at the junction of Tianjin Starfield and Zutar Starfield.

Since the United Empire began to attack the Zutar Starfield, the Yu family has established a transit base with star gates at the junction of the Tianjin Starfield and the Zutar Starfield.

The base doesn’t have a name, it’s just called a transit base. It has a first-level star city, a super-large space residence station, and seven large and medium-sized space residence stations.

Although there is no living planet in a large star field nearby, and it is far away from the three alien civilizations discovered, when Li Qing arrived here, he found that the excitement here is not inferior to Jinmen, and it is even more lively and more lively. Be active.

Not only are the three regional channels very lively, but even the elite channel, which was rarely spoken in Jinmen before, is also very active here, and people are often seen speaking in it.

The destroyer first enters the transit base Star City and registers with the expeditionary force.

At this time, because the outpost in Zutar is under construction, the headquarters of the expeditionary force is still here. When it is built there, the headquarters of the expeditionary force will move there.

It is worth mentioning that even if the outpost is established and the star city is erected, there will be no star gate to send it directly.

Because the Zutar star field is covered by dust nebula, some special substances contained in it can affect the transmission. That thing is like a super large-scale interference force field covering most of the Zutar star field. Not only the star gate cannot be transmitted in, but the general The battleship’s hyperspace engine can’t control the landing point inside. Once it is used forcibly, there is a high probability of transmission error and appear in the endless space between galaxies.

So, from the transfer base to the outpost base, you have to sail there by yourself, and you cannot use the star gate to teleport there.

Unless, you can get some super star gates that can forcibly penetrate the nebula.

After the registration, Li Qing didn’t go anywhere, just squatted on the battleship and watched the regional channel, planning to analyze the current situation here from the channel.

”Large caravans going to outposts are looking for escorts. Small and medium-sized teams with a credit score of 70 or more are required. Salary is negotiable.”

”Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce recruits escorts, destination outposts, large and medium-sized teams with a credit score of 75 or above, and salary negotiable.”

”The Skywatcher Legion recruits independent pioneers. It requires pioneers under ten years old. There is no limit to old or new. The elderly need to look at the past records, and the newcomers need to look at the innate attributes, and the treatment is favorable. They will also recruit a group of miners. They need mining skills above LV3 and mineral analysis. LV3 or above, astrogeology LV2 or above.”

”Attention, the Tianji team accepted the **** mission, but they were robbed and killed halfway and remained indifferent, resulting in the cargo being robbed. Caravan bosses pay attention.”

”Silly Biqianyuan Chamber of Commerce, took a detour halfway, forcing us to do tasks that have nothing to do with the **** and resulted in being attacked. This matter has nothing to do with the escort. It is not against the rules for us to refuse.”

”The Nagrand Legion recruits independent pioneers, requiring less than ten years”

Ignoring the two scolding each other, Li Qing can see that the business in the transit base is so prosperous just by taking a quick glance.

The establishment of an outpost base will inevitably require the delivery of massive supplies from Jinmen. In fact, collecting supplies is also considered one of the military tasks. In the early stage of the outpost base, such tasks accounted for a large proportion.

”Well, should I try running a business too?”

Although the transfer base to the outpost has to be flown by himself, but he does not need to bring a huge fleet, and directly collects the fleet into the universe in the palm of his hand. A destroyer travels lightly, which saves the need to travel from Jinmen to the transfer base. It also saves the cost of recruiting an **** fleet.

I was thinking about it when I suddenly received a strange communication.

Connected easily, the light curtain popped open, Li Lie appeared on the light curtain, he asked in surprise:

”Didn’t you say you couldn’t come to Zutar’s side, why?”

Li Qing was even more surprised and asked:

”How do you know I’m here? I just came here.”

”My dad told me.”

”Second Uncle”

”By the way, did you come alone?”

”yes.”

”That’s just right. We have organized a super fleet with several small and medium-sized teams to go to the outpost. We are recruiting an **** team. Do you want to come here? You will be paid according to the ship under your command.”

”Ah this.”

Li Qing thought for a while and asked:

”When are you leaving?”

”It’s still about a week away. The main reason is that the fleet is too large and needs more guards. It hasn’t been recruited yet.”

Li Qing asked curiously:

”How big is it?”

”More than two thousand large transport ships, with a total value of at least two trillion yuan.”

”Hiss!”

Li Qing took a breath:

”You play so big?”

Li Lie nodded and said:

”Yeah, there is a big boss in our team, Yu Yuefei, do you know that the pearl of the Yu family who has the innate talent of the purple epic, she formed a team with her twin sister and a few people of the same race, and then formed a team with a few others A small and medium-sized team joined forces to do this big deal, and once the goods can be successfully delivered to the outpost, there will be at least 40% profit.”

”Hiss!”

Li Qing was shocked again, 40% of the principal of 2 trillion, that is 800 billion.

A few days ago, he was still proud of himself for earning 40 billion star dollars all at once, but now looking at other people’s houses, it’s trillions of dollars by hand, which can’t be compared all at once.

”With a principal of two trillion yuan, how can she have so much capital?”

”Many of the same clan people are looking for are the pioneers of the previous session and the previous session. They came from wealthy families and have been around for six or seven years longer than us. It should not be a problem to save tens of billions or hundreds of billions. Besides, Many of the aristocratic children who joined her team or cooperated with other top families are also rich, and it is not impossible to add up to two trillion.”

”This is too rich!”

”Hey, there are quite a few of them who are the direct descendants of the top families. I heard that one of them is the direct descendant of the fourteen Star Sea Lords of the empire. They all went to pursue beauties.”

”Fine!”

Li Qing clicked his tongue:

”By the way, you also went because of the pursuit of beauty?”

”No, I see that her team has attracted too many noble elites. There must be a future. Follow them. If I can win a planet of life in the future, then I am also one of the elders, and I will definitely be counted as one of them. At that time, whether you hold shares or sell them, it will be a lot of money.”

”By the way, do you want to come?”

”I only have two boats?”

”Of course, you are from my Qinghe Li family.”

”That’s fine, I’ll do it.”

”That’s right, I’ll send you the coordinates, come and report when you have time.”

”Okay, I have something to do here, wait a few days.”

”Okay.”
