The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons

Chapter 45： Large-scale team activities (ask for monthly tickets)
Chapter 45 Team large-scale activities (seeking monthly pass)

It is a large-scale team event similar to the one they used to gather the whole team to pool two trillion stars to run a business. It is once a year. Last year it was a business run. I don’t know what it is this time.

There are still three months left for the event, and it will take less than half a month to go back to Jialan headquarters at full speed from here, and there is no time.

Li Qing replied in the empty team channel:

”I’ll be back on time!”

With the strength of their team and the relationship of the team commander, the large-scale team activities they are preparing are worth looking forward to.

Closing off the communication, Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief, just in time to go back to the outpost, buy some weapon accessories, and arm the repaired two cruisers, six destroyers and twenty-six frigates.

In addition, after half a year of accumulation, he has made great breakthroughs in many shipbuilding skills and modification skills.

Shipbuilding skills have been upgraded to LV11, and destroyers, elite raptors, and excellent Black Hawk frigates can already be built. Now the shipyard in the palm of the universe has started as early as two months ago, and now two batches of 20 destroyers have been built in batches.

In addition, his modification technology has been greatly improved, and now he can modify the standard Tornado-class destroyer.

The progress visible to the naked eye and the approaching end can be seen, which makes Li Qing high-spirited and full of energy.

This trip back, in addition to arming two cruisers and destroyers to participate in large-scale team activities, when the team activities are over, he plans to sell all the frigates built by the shipyard to save more money and buy a batch of base expansion. Industrial equipment, as well as a large number of blueprints and materials for various ship weapon accessories.

He is going to put on the agenda the manufacture of weapons and various general accessories for various ships, as well as propeller jump engines and other accessories.

To put it bluntly, he felt that there was something missing in shipbuilding alone. The densely packed bare ships existed in the palm universe, and they couldn’t be used just by looking at them.

If a battleship can be fully equipped from the hull to weapons and other configurations in one stop, the warship can be used in battle after it is manufactured, not only can it be sold to make more money, but these ships can be left in the universe in the palm of your hand, and when you lack warships, you can immediately Pulling it out comes in handy.

This is also the only way to go. With such a large array of docks, we can’t just build bare boats all the time.

In addition, he plans to expand the base in the warehouse area inside the palm universe. He dare not say that he can’t afford to develop it all, but he can still afford to develop a floor, build a large industrial area, and a large living area.

Not to mention the industrial area, the living area is mainly used for shipbuilding engineers and clones. He plans to build a habitable layer on a certain floor in the warehouse area, and then cultivate a large number of clones.

Shipbuilding engineers can only use natural persons for such high-IQ jobs. The money can only be spent on recruiting before obtaining the permission to immigrate natural persons. There is no way, but various clone crews, clone workers, clone ground troops, etc. , this is destined to consume a lot in the future, and I don’t know how much it will cost to buy it all the time. It’s better to build a livable city and cultivate it yourself.

Compared with strict requirements on the authority of immigrant natural persons, the demand for purely cultivating clones is much lower.

First of all, you need to build a livable colony base, or a space habitation station, and then obtain the cloning cultivation permit laws issued by the major provinces, and then enough capital.

He has the livable land, even if he doesn’t need the warehouse livable layer in the palm universe, he can use the small ecological circle in the base he built to apply.

Although it is a bit of a lie to use such a small space to apply for making clones, but whether it is a lie or not is another matter, as long as the reason for the application can be established.

As for the human cloning license law, it generally requires a certain level of prestige in the major provinces. The last time was in his name, the accumulated reputation is not much worse now, and it is estimated that the reputation will be almost the same after a few more efforts.

As for the final capital

The cost required here is divided into two points, one is the cost of establishing a genetic laboratory and gene bank, and the cost of cultivating clones.

Another point is to buy the mother chip of human cloning cultivation technology. Only with this technology mother chip can we cultivate clones without restriction and unlimited.

It is worth mentioning that if he has bred clones for his own use only and cannot sell them, he needs a clone sales license.

For example, in Jinmen, generally only important members of the Yu clan in Jinmen would have the ability to sell licenses to make this huge profit.

It is huge profits. As long as the cultivation base is built, it can cost a few dollars to cultivate clones, and the cost of loading the whole set of skills and brain plugs can be tens of thousands. Any clone worker can sell for 100,000, and the clones can be cultivated in batches It’s all hundreds of thousands of millions, which is completely huge profits.

No matter where it is, monopoly is huge profits.

On the fifth day after receiving the news from the team, Li Qing made arrangements for this matter and sealed off the base exit that had been evacuated on the first floor.

There will not be many people coming to this galaxy itself, and a letter will be exported, and the dust will be swept up, and the radar will not be able to scan it at all.

The lower floor of the base doesn’t know what danger there will be, so I just go back now to make more preparations and dig again when I come back.

The base also made a simple arrangement. After recovering all the wrecks of the warships collected by the industrial ships, three destroyers and ten frigates were left to defend the base. He set off with the remaining two destroyers and nine frigates. On the way back.

Going back is much faster than when you came back. You don’t need to explore or anything. Once you leave the star gate, you can jump, and you can’t jump at sub-light speed.

The nearest few galaxies cannot jump, and can only pass through at sub-light speed. When the interference of crossing several galaxies and nebulae is reduced, the jump will begin immediately.

In just eleven days, a fleet consisting of two destroyers and eight frigates appeared in the Galan galaxy.

A frigate was surrounded by a pirate fleet patrolling at the entrance of the wormhole while exploring the way, and died heroically.

This is unavoidable. The fleet is too small to go directly through the wormhole. Two ships must be sent to investigate first. There is a risk, and the probability of injury is not small.

Returning to the Galan galaxy is not much different from when we left before. There are still two months left for the team’s large-scale activities, and it is still early, and everyone has not rushed back yet.

Li Lie and Li Qi are not there, but Li Zhenghai in their team is in Jialan Star Fort. Li Qing asked him, and learned that Li Lie, Li Qi and others are now at the base north of Star Fort, and sent him the coordinates of the base.

Turning around in Star Garan Castle, showing a side to report, the fleet set off for the outpost again.

It took four days to jump back to the star system of the outpost base. The fleet was parked in a galaxy on the edge of the outpost base, and only one destroyer sailed into the outpost base.

The warship parked in Star City, connected to the expeditionary force trading network, and sold some of the spoils in hand first.

The blueprints of the third-generation laser cannon that can be used 25 times can be sold, and the unit price is 350,000, a total of 8.75 million.

A total of 4.7 units of star core matter, 500 million units, a total of 2.35 billion stars.

A total of 900 Haiyan-class frigates accumulated in eight months, 25 million bare ships on the outpost side, with a premium of 25%, a total of 22.5 billion star dollars.

Deducting the cost of 14 million * 900 ships, a total of 12.6 billion, a net profit of 9.9 billion stars.

A total of 20 destroyers, the unit price of Jinmen is 150 million, the same premium rises by 25%, a single ship is 187.5 million star yuan, a total of 20 ships is 3.75 billion star yuan.

Deducting the cost of 105 million * 20 ships, a total of 2.1 billion, a net profit of 1.65 billion stars.

Comprehensively, the total income of this trip is 29.4875 billion stars. After deducting the cost, deducting the various wages and maintenance costs for these eight months, the total is about 2.1 billion, and the net profit is 11.8875 billion stars.

So far, Li Qing currently has funds of 58.9738 billion star dollars.

As in the previous plan, I purchased a large number of blueprints for weapon accessories at all levels through the Expeditionary Force Trading Network, ranging from laser cannons in small S slots, electromagnetic guns, machine guns, point defense in S slots, medium weapons in M, to large laser cannons in L slots. With the electromagnetic gun, and the L-slot main gun.

And a large number of S small, M medium, and L large universal slots.

From frigates to cruisers, reactors, hyperspace engines, thrusters and radar sensors, combat computers, and various A-type functional slot accessories, etc.

From blueprints to construction materials, buy a ship as a set.

A set of standard Haiyan frigate needs about 13.5 million yuan for a complete set of drawings except for the ship itself. The salary of a shipbuilding engineer and the salary of an arsenal engineer are about 1.2 million + 10.25 million, a total of 119.95 million.

A top-equipped fifth-generation technology frigate + modification costs a total of about 155 million. If you build it yourself, you can save 35.05 million.

If you don’t modify it, the total cost will drop to about 142 million. After deducting various costs, you can earn about 32 million.

Well, to be precise, only he can earn so much. Other players with private shipyards can’t earn so much even if they build everything from ships to weapon general slots and various functional slot accessories.

The reason is very simple. Other players do not have such advanced docks as him. Normally, it takes two months to build a frigate. He only takes one month, saving a whole month’s salary of 11.45 million.

But still very profitable.

So after returning from this trip, Li Qing directly recruited ten groups of engineers from the arsenal.

This kind of arsenal engineer can operate the arsenal machine to manufacture various weapons, various general accessories, and then to the ship’s reactor, jump engine, thruster, radar and combat system, etc., including all the X slots of a ship. Regular accessories.

There are two types of engineers in this kind of arsenal. One can build five generations of weapon accessories, and the other can only build four generations and below. Their salaries are also slightly different.

Arsenal chief engineer, monthly salary 1 million/1.5 million.

Arsenal senior engineer, monthly salary 150,000/250,000.

Ordinary engineer in the arsenal, with a monthly salary of 30,000/50,000.

In the front are ordinary engineers of less than four generations, and in the back are senior engineers who can build five generations of weapon accessories.

Li Qing recruited all the senior engineers of the latter, and each group consisted of 1 chief engineer, 5 senior engineers, and 150 ordinary engineers, with a monthly salary of 10.25 million. A total of ten groups were recruited, and each month cost 102.5 million. salary.

They can complete the manufacture of all parts of a frigate every month, and complete the manufacture of all parts of a destroyer in two months.

That is to say, after recruiting ten groups, as long as there are enough blueprints and materials, ten top-equipped frigates that have completed all configurations can be shipped every month. Come out and fight.

This means that it won’t be long before his earning power and his war potential will be qualitatively improved.

Think about it, what it means to be able to deploy thousands of fifth-generation fully equipped frigates in the palm universe in just one year, and they can be pulled out to fight at any time.

And this is just the beginning, as long as the drawings and shipbuilding materials can keep up, it will be no problem to store tens of thousands of ships.

In the foreseeable future, salary and maintenance are no longer the big problems that bother him. Even if he can’t expand wantonly now, but as his accumulation becomes stronger and stronger, it won’t take many years to earn enough money, and the basic market will gradually increase. Expansion will always gradually reach the point where the monthly income reaches tens of billions or even tens of billions.

When the original capital is not a problem, the speed of expansion will be very exaggerated. At that time, the only thing that can limit its development may be market restrictions.

After all, he can’t possibly occupy the entire market.

When he produces a certain number of warships every month, it will definitely attract the attention of other arms dealers. The largest arms dealers in Jinmen and Zutar are the Yu family. Other individual players or arms dealers who are not strong enough to share a piece of meat in this big market will never squeeze those big arms dealers to death.

No way, the rules are set by them, and they have the ability to overturn the table to rewrite the rules at any time, even if he has the comprehensive strength comparable to the military masters and giants, he can’t beat other local snakes.

”All right!”

Li Qing felt that he had thought too much and went too far. Even if that day really came, it would be twenty or thirty years later, and he might not be in Jinmen at that time.

If he really wants to be as powerful as the military lords and giants, he must have formed his own fleet to leave Jinmen and enter more distant star fields to explore.

Zutar is located between Jinmen and the belly of the United Human Empire, and is covered by nebula. His development potential is limited, at least in his opinion. If he wants to open up his own territory, it will definitely not be here. This is only his early stage. The place where you started, you will definitely have to change places after you gain momentum.

Either go north to fight with the Bruvan joint civilization, or go south to the Timor star field to deal with the Kelzacca star sea empire civilization that lies between the Perseus spiral arm and the galaxy’s central astrolabe star field.

No matter which civilization is defeated, the territory of the entire United Human Empire will be greatly expanded, and eating the corpse of any alien civilization that is not inferior to human civilization will make the overall strength of human civilization a lot stronger in a short period of time. You will definitely eat the fattest piece of meat.

Li Qing stayed in the outpost for half a month, enduring the 50% higher prices on the outpost than in Jinmen, and bought two cruisers*300 clone crews, 20 destroyers*100 clones Crew, 50 frigates*50 clone crews, a total of 600+2000+2500=5100 clone crews.
