The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons

Chapter 110： Chief Engineer of Battleship Construction (seeking monthly ticket)
Chapter 110 Chief Engineer of Battleship Construction (seeking monthly pass)

Looking at his remaining three Servants of Light, Li Qing thought for a while, and then enlightened another Servant of Light, who was also an engineer and had a talent related to space fighter design, named Song Shuguang.

The last spot was used for an administrator named Jiang Yuhai. After being turned into a Servant of Light, his management-related skills soared to LV20 in an instant. With the talent of Servant of Light, his management ability instantly exploded.

Li Qing appointed him as the chief administrative officer of the territory, responsible for the administrative management and planning of the entire warehouse area from the sixth floor to the tenth floor.

Below the fifth floor is the warehouse area and the aircraft carrier floor, where no supervisor is needed.

After finishing all this, you basically don’t need to bother yourself with some messy little things. Li Qing only needs to make up his mind on some important things.

Coming to the scientific research area, Li Qing routinely came to the laboratory to communicate with the mechanical ascension player.

At this time, Li Qing has not thought about what to do with him. As a player, he cannot be controlled by rewriting the underlying code. The level of the player is the same as that of the mechanically ascended player, but he was casually kneaded in the hands of Chen Guangli, the servant of light, without the power to resist.

Well, until now he still doesn’t know the name of the mechanically ascended player, it’s not that he didn’t ask, but the other side didn’t answer this question.

Some ordinary players chatting about this mechanical ascension were quite willing to answer, but when they asked questions related to Lord Senluo, they kept silent, which made Li Qing quite speechless.

It seems that there is nothing to ask, and it is almost impossible to make him speak in the normal way, but the other way.

It’s not impossible, but Li Qing still doesn’t want to use that method unless it is absolutely necessary.

The method is very simple, turn him into a servant of light.

The Attuned Servant of Light is also effective for the player, but because he hasn’t tried it yet, he doesn’t know what the consequences will be. Will he become absolutely loyal to himself like other organic creatures, or...he can’t tell.

Anyway, there is a quota every month, so it doesn’t matter if you use one.

The reason why it is not used now is that apart from not being sure whether it will be effective for the player, the main reason is that the player is a mechanical ascensionist, and after attuning the servant of light, he will forcibly awaken the psionic energy. As we all know, psionic ascension and mechanical ascension are the same conflicting.

If he is turned into a servant of light, his two stages of mechanical ascension will be useless.

Such a large mechanical battle body is still stored in the starry sky in the palm of the universe. Li Qing didn’t move at all, thinking that if he subdues it in the future, such a powerful mechanical ascension body will come in handy.

If he is turned into a Servant of Light, he will be crippled directly, and he is a bit reluctant.

Moreover, there is another problem that Li Qing is unwilling to admit.

If he does not turn into a servant of light, he cannot guarantee the loyalty of the player.

After all, this mechanical ascension player comes from the lord of Senluo Xinghai, a former iron-hearted destroyer. In their eyes, all organic life forms need to be destroyed, including human beings.

Maybe following the failure of Sen Luo Xinghai Lord, they may give up this trend of thought and stop destroying everything, but how can this kind of thing be accurate?

Is it a way to go to the end?

Or repentance?

Who knows what the **** they were thinking.

If he is not turned into a servant of light, he is likely to pretend to submit. He has never guarded against thieves for a thousand days.

”Skull hurts!”

After chatting briefly for a while, Li Qing said goodbye and left.

The crystal ball hangs motionless in the air, and from time to time, tiny lightning bolts explode inside.

”Let’s talk about it after I equip a battleship with an advanced jump engine!”

Li Qing has fixed the final time, and if she doesn’t cooperate by then, he can only destroy the flower with his hands.

Well, this Mechanical Ascendant used to be a woman.

Coming out of the universe in the palm of his hand, Li Qing made an announcement on the legion channel—

”From next month, the legion will start ordering warships, ranging from ordinary mining ships, transport ships, to battleships. All official legion members only need to provide blueprints, and they can customize various warships at 90% of the market price of the outpost.”

Once the announcement was issued, the Legion channel was quiet for more than ten seconds, and then there were countless inquiries:

”No way? Really? When did our headquarters have a shipyard? Why have I never seen it?”

”I haven’t seen it either, but I seem to have heard that there is a large shipyard inside the space relic in the hands of the military chief. I don’t know if it is true or not.”

”It should be true, otherwise the chief would not have issued this announcement.”

”Doesn’t that mean that we don’t have to go to outposts to compete with others for shipbuilding places in the future, and we can order directly within the legion?”

At this moment, someone Aite Li Qing asked:

”Director, are there any restrictions on this order?”

Li Qing replied with a smile:

”Basically there are no restrictions. If I insist on restrictions, that is, I only have a chief engineer who can build battleships. I can build up to ten battleships in one batch. There are no restrictions other than that.”

His response, someone immediately laughed:

”It’s enough, there are so few battleship blueprints, it’s enough.”

”By the way, my shipyard is a bit special. The shipbuilding speed is very fast. The battleship only takes nine months to leave the factory, which is twice as fast as the normal shipyard’s 18 months. The other ships are the same.”

He left half of the leeway for buffering. Sometimes when he needs to build a ship, he can squeeze out time from this half of the leeway without affecting the normal order construction.

”Damn, what a mouthful!”

”Chief, I have a battleship here, can I accept the order now?”

”no problem.”

”Fuck, it’s so fast.”

”Chief, I have one here too.”

Li Qing responded one by one:

”There are all quotas, don’t worry, I will open the registration later, everyone can find Li Lie to register the ships that need to be built, just hand over the blueprints to him, and the construction will be arranged within three days if there is no need to line up.”

”By the way, the Legion Shipyard also includes the modification and reinforcement of warships and the manufacture of weapon accessories, but you need to prepare your own drawings.”

In less than half a day, Li Qingfa’s announcement has spread throughout the entire galaxy of the Legion territory, and even the players affiliated with the Legion have already known about it.

Li Qing did not refuse them to order warships, anyway, the dock is big enough.

However, affiliated members do not have the 10% discount and priority benefits of legion members, but it is also cheaper than going directly to the outpost. What Li Qing gave them was the normal market price. A fully equipped standard Haiyan-class frigate would cost 142 million at the outpost. Xingyuan, he can buy it for only about 130 million Xingyuan, which is tens of millions of Xingyuan cheaper, and even a normal person knows where to buy it.

In addition, Li Qing also vigorously promoted his third-generation frigate to everyone. Only 113.6 million star yuan can buy a fully equipped finished warship. The boat can be about 31 million cheaper.

For things like cannon fodder, of course, the cheaper the better.

In less than two days, Li Qing received orders for a total of 5,114 third-generation frigates, with a total price of 580.9 billion stars and a net profit of 258.3 billion stars.

It will take a total of five and a half months to complete, with an average net profit of 50 billion stars per month.

”It’s quite profitable.”

Even if the internal market of the Legion will soon be saturated, there is no need to worry. At that time, they can be stockpiled and sold to the outpost base. The supply is in short supply there, and two batches of 1,000 frigates can be easily eaten every month.

After confirming the production task, Li Qing turned the battleship engineer Yu Yuefei called Chen Wencai into a servant of light on the spot, using up the last spot of servant of light.

After becoming a Servant of Light, all the relevant shipbuilding skills he has mastered have been upgraded to LV20. Originally, he needed to practice in a large shipyard to improve the experience of building battleships, but now he can get started immediately.

Ten teams of senior engineers and ordinary shipbuilders who built battleships were all in place, the super dock allocated 200 ships, and ten battleships began to be built.

Five of them are his own, and the other five are battleship blueprints that other members of the Legion have on hand.

Li Qing is ready to train this engineer well. When his shipbuilding skills gradually improve until LV30, he can learn the skills related to the construction of flagship warships, and then he can be promoted to a chief engineer of flagship warship construction.

By that time, it will be awesome.

I have a super dock that can build flagships, and a chief engineer who can build flagships. I only need a set of flagship blueprints to build flagship-level giant warships by myself.

What’s the point?

Making money is second. To be honest, building a flagship is indeed quite profitable. After all, this thing can start at trillions of stars.

But compared to the meaning of being able to build a flagship, making money is actually a trivial matter.

It is important to know that the entire United Human Empire has the ability to independently build a giant shipyard for the flagship. Except for one of the fourteen Star Sea Lords, less than ten of the other two hundred military lords combined have that ability.

That is to say, in the entire United Human Empire, there will never be more than 30 giant shipyards capable of building flagship giant battleships alone.

Most of the flagships of the warlords at hand are mostly built by these warlords with huge docks.

For example, the Qinghe Li family does not have a huge dock where they can build flagships.

The Jinmen Yu clan has a huge dock, but the capacity of the flagship warship is too large. Generally, after one ship is built, the remaining capacity in the dock is not enough to build a second one at the same time.

The construction time of the flagship is more than five years, and the construction time of the Titan Super Flag is more than ten years, so the number of these things does not exclude the rarity of blueprints, and the shipbuilding capacity is also a key factor restricting the number of flagships.

That is to say, if the high-dimensional fortress he has in hand can build a flagship, then

When it is established, there will be many warlords who have been queuing for many years at other shipyards, waving checks and rushing to order ships. Money is trivial, and the favors and relationships of these big men are more valuable.

As time goes by, the various restrictions on the pioneers will become smaller and smaller. After ten years, they can already use the various relationships behind each other, and the families behind them can directly support them. Unrestricted.

At that time, these favors and relationships will come in handy.

Of course, by that time, they will not have the so-called protection for newcomers, and they will need to compete on the same starting line with other senior pioneers who have been around for more than ten years, or even twenty or thirty years.

That is to say, after ten years, if they still can’t win the three major civilizations, after the protection period expires, other senior pioneers can enter the field to compete.

The three major legions located in Jinmen will adjust their main forces to enter the arena immediately. The teams that have not won the planet by then will have a hard time competing with them unless the forces behind them are against the sky.

You must know that the three major legions in Jinmen all have flagships. When the three legions are merged, the combat effectiveness is not inferior to the current expeditionary force.

By that time, the remaining parts of the three major civilizations will probably be flattened within half a year.

So they have to seize a planet within ten years, and there is basically no chance after ten years.

It is now the third and a half years of development, and there is still a little more than a year to be the best opportunity for the Jialan Legion. Li Qing plans that if he can successfully take over the planet Lair of the Reef at that time, he will slowly show his strength and potential, to obtain favors and relationships in this area, and strive to hold on to the planet after it has been captured, and keep it until the ten-year development period expires, and can hold that planet under the noses of many senior legions who have entered the field.

”So now, I should go to the outpost and get back the battleship blueprint given by the family.”

Excluding the 10 ships that were taken at the beginning, there are still 110 ships.

It can only be said that the great-grandfather is a cow, but he has so many battleship blueprints.

Li Qing believes that his great-grandfather may still have a blueprint for the flagship, but he can’t give it to him at this stage. This kind of super combat power will at least wait until the fifth year of development before finding a reason to reward it.

Everyone is the same, there are so many pioneers in the outpost, and there are many top family members with higher status than him. They also have to abide by the rules, and they will not appear until the fifth year after the development.

According to the flagship’s construction time is about five years, it just waits until the tenth year of development to enter service.

At that time, the restrictions will be fully relaxed, and senior pioneers will enter the field. At that time, only teams with flagships will have the capital to compete with these senior pioneers, and teams without flagships will basically be eliminated.

Li Qing was lucky enough to get a fearless flagship in the first year of development. Yu Yuefei took it back to her family’s Jinmen giant shipyard for construction two years ago. According to the time, nearly half of it has been built now. Commander Yu Qingzhi said that the construction will be completed when the military operation starts one and a half years later, which shows that the construction speed of the huge shipyard of Jinmen Yushi should be faster than the normal shipyard, and it can be completed in only three and a half years.

In the fifth year, when others first got the blueprint of the flagship, they had a finished dreadnought flagship in their hands, and the super aircraft carrier inside the palm universe was equivalent to two flagships. Who could be their opponent in the early stage.

On the second day, Li Qing directly located the coordinates of a psychic entity in the galaxy near the outpost through the psychic sage in the void, and directly used psychic energy to jump out of the gravitational well of the galaxy next to the outpost.

The psychic saint was summoned by him, compressed into a metal box, and then disguised as a meteorite the size of a table and thrown into the asteroid belt outside the gravitational well of the galaxy, even if a spaceship passed by. to the psionic entity within.
