Chapter 72 Return to Earth
Bailan Star is just over 10,000 light years away from Earth.
At the speed of a C-class spacecraft, a round trip can be made within a day.
Coupled with the convenient transportation here and the cheap assets on the planet, it is naturally the most suitable choice for Jiang Chen to build a 'base' outside the earth.
Among the millions of living planets in the Galactic Empire, the living environment of Bailan Star is ranked at the bottom.
The extremely cold climate makes it impossible for strong people below the planet level to survive on this planet.
Even planet-level experts will never like the wild environment of this planet. They must stay in warm indoors most of the time, which has also caused the value of assets on Bailan Star to drop sharply.
——This refers specifically to fixed assets such as land and buildings.
In the extremely cold area in the northern part of Bailan Star, super large warehouses are neatly arranged. In the extreme climate of Bailan Star, they look quite "dead" in beauty.
But now, in the open space outside a warehouse, a group of senior officials on Bailan Star are waiting patiently for something in the ice and snow.
Suddenly, a silver-gray spaceship pierced the sky, flew to the warehouse almost instantly, and then slowly descended.
“Here we come!”
An official’s eyes lit up and he quickly used his eyes to signal his subordinates to cheer up.
The spacecraft landed in the open space and the hatch opened.
The officials on Bailan Star quickly put on their most enthusiastic smiles and looked at the cabin door expectantly.
One by one, the strong men quickly flew out of the cabin door, without even looking at the senior officials of Bailan Star, and lined up neatly in two teams.
The aura exuded by these people made these Bailanxing executives tremble with fear.
The stellar spiritual master at the head alone is enough to destroy a backward planet like Bailan Star countless times!
Even the royal family of the Silver Blue Empire, if their bloodline is more remote, will not receive such treatment.
After all the slaves got off the spaceship, Jiang Chen, wearing a black combat uniform, walked out of the hatch slowly.
Glancing at the welcoming crowd, Jiang Chen couldn't help but frown and asked: "Who is the director of 'Bart'?"
"It's me, I am 'Bart', the director of the Bailanxing Commercial Department. "A fat man with big head and big ears quickly stepped forward and greeted Jiang Chen respectfully: "You are the buyer. Mr. Jiang, who bought this warehouse base? Let me introduce you to the situation of this warehouse base?”
“Don’t you even verify your identity?” The word ‘Chuan’ in the middle of Jiang Chen’s eyebrows His hair was conspicuous, and his tone revealed his dissatisfaction with the behavior of these people.
‘How can I verify your identity? ’
A thought flashed through the head of the director named ‘Bart’, but the smile on his face became more humble and respectful, and he explained in a low voice.
Jiang Chen didn't make things difficult for the other party. He waved his hand directly and said, "Hand over as soon as possible. I'm in a hurry."
"Yes!" Director 'Bart' responded without any hesitation and summoned a group of people. The famous subordinate ordered the other party to complete the handover procedures as quickly as possible.
In less than ten minutes, the handover procedures were completed. Director ‘Bart’ saluted Jiang Chen respectfully, and then quickly left with the rest of his men.
During the entire process, Jiang Chen didn’t even ask the second person’s name.
What Jiang Chen bought was a large piece of land covering hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. However, Bailanxing's land was not valuable, especially the land in the coldest 'extreme cold zone', where the price was even higher. It's cheap.
Such a large piece of land, plus the super large warehouses on the surface, and the "residential area" buildings that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, only cost Jiang Chen tens of millions of Black Dragon coins, which is very cost-effective.
If it were replaced by a living planet with slightly better conditions, the price would be at least ten times higher, or even more.
If it were a high-level planet like the Qiu Long Planet, even if the Bailan Star was sold, the most it would do would be to buy a manor.
"Steward." Jiang Chen looked at the short green-skinned slave who looked like a goblin and ordered: "I will stay here until the factory construction is completed, and then this base will be handed over to you. If there is If there is any problem you can't solve, please contact me through the virtual universe. "
'Butler' is also a code name. Jiang Chen doesn't bother to remember the names of his slaves.
Even except for a few 'leaders', Jiang Chen didn't even bother to give them code names.
"Yes, Master. Our task is to produce some kind of mechanical equipment according to the intelligent modules left by the Master, ensure the normal operation of the production line, and connect with material suppliers and product purchasers?"< br>
The goblin codenamed 'Butler' once again confirmed his main mission.
Jiang Chen nodded and said: "The production process is mainly based on the intelligence I left behind. Don't make your own decisions. Except for the 'spiritual guidance', the other links do not require manual labor. Participate. What you mainly need to ensure is the normal operation of the factory and the connection between upstream and downstream. "
The process of producing the 'Goliath Titan' mecha is very mature.
Except for the core process of 'Alchemy Pattern Enchantment', the entire process does not require manual participation and can be completed under the control of Jarvis.
Even for the core enchantment link, Jiang Chen has designed a processing technology that is similar to an 'assembly line'. He only needs some planet-level spiritual masters to provide spiritual blessings, and the rest can be done. Completed through automated machinery.
This is also due to confidentiality considerations.
Jiang Chen doesn’t want his most important ‘money-attracting product’ to be cracked open and copied in large numbers as soon as it is launched on the market.
Anything, as long as there are more competitors, the profit margin will be compressed to an extremely low level.
In the end, it will become a game of competition to see who has the lower cost.
Only monopoly is the most profitable.
Although 'Goliath Giant' can find a substitute with similar performance in the universe, due to the particularity of alchemy technology, the cost is much lower than the mainstream process in the universe.
As long as this link is not cracked, Jiang Chen will be able to defeat his opponents in the market competition through his cost advantage.
Of course, Jiang Chen’s preparations for confidentiality go far beyond the means of ‘reducing manual participation’. There are also many details in the structural design to prevent reverse cracking.
But there is no need for these slaves to know this confidential information.
“Yes, Master.”
The ‘Butler’ agreed quickly. Jiang Chen will not leave immediately. He will at least stay until the factory is completed, the first batch of 'products' are trial-produced, and there are no problems before he leaves Bailanxing.
During this period, if there is anything you don’t understand, you can ask Jiang Chen for advice at any time. The 'housekeeper' knows very well that there is no need to ask too many questions at this time and provoke yourself. The owner is unhappy.
————
Jiang Chen stayed in Bailanxing for more than half a month.
Through the virtual universe, a large amount of equipment and raw materials were purchased. With the assistance of SCV, the production line of 'Goliath Giant' was established and passed the acceptance test perfectly.
An intelligence created based on Jarvis's source code was left by Jiang Chen in Bai Lanxing's factory to manage all equipment in the entire factory.
As for other managers and technical slaves, they can only participate in some peripheral work. The real core process is completely controlled by intelligence.
Coupled with the self-destruction program that is also controlled by intelligence, it achieves the ultimate in confidentiality.
The first 'Goliath Giant' mecha that was trial-produced has been tested by Jiang Chen and has completely reached the performance level required in the drawings, which is enough to sell for a good price in the universe.
After completing the test, Jiang Chen did not stay too long.
After leaving all the management and technical slaves, half of the combat slaves, and all the slaves who were good at brewing in Bailan Star, Jiang Chen took No. 2, No. 4, and other 'B Group' members board the spaceship.
On the way back to Earth, Babata was still settling accounts with Jiang Chen.
"The materials left on Bailan Star are enough to make two hundred Goliath Titans. There is still some leftover. Assuming there is not much waste, we will calculate it as two hundred finished products."
"One Goliath Goliath" Leah Giant's market price is 120 million Between 150 million and 150 million, but you are shipping in large quantities and cannot sell it at the retail price. We need to give dealers enough profit margins. Let’s consider it lower and sell it at 100 million per unit. "< br>
“Two hundred units, that is, two Ten billion, after deducting the cost, the profit is about ten billion, which is double the profit."
"The slaves Luo Feng had a share of before. I won’t give you any money for this batch of Goli. You have to leave half of the profits of the Sub-Giant to Luo Feng! Luo Feng will have to account for at least 30% of the subsequent profits from this project in the future!"
Babata analyzed it carefully, and at the same time tried to find ways to get it from Jiang Chen. Get a lot of benefits for Luo Feng.
"Didn't you register a company in the factory that produces the 'Goliath Giant'? Most of the early profits will be used to expand production capacity. It is impossible to use the money to distribute dividends. However, I can give Luo Feng company shares."< br>
Jiang Chen stated his conditions: “We each have half of the capital, and I will take another 40% of the technology stocks, which means I will have 70%. , Luo Feng’s 30%.”
After a pause, Jiang Chen continued: “Luo Feng can’t take this 30% for free. If there is anything you need help with in the future, you must help me unconditionally. Of course, it’s only for business matters.”
The reason for raising this condition is not because Luo Feng has a share of the ‘start-up capital’.
Jiang Chen simply fell in love with a very important 'legacy' of Hu Yanbo - the five-star account of Universe Galaxy Bank.
As a high-level customer of Universe Galaxy Bank, Hu Yanbo's account has many privileges.
As long as you use it well, you can completely avoid many unnecessary risks and enjoy many conveniences.
Although Jiang Chen is also a disciple of the Yuanmoxing lineage, he is not a direct disciple of Hu Yanbo, so naturally he cannot inherit this bank account.
Facing the conditions proposed by Jiang Chen, Babata only hesitated slightly before agreeing on behalf of Luo Feng.
Although in Babata's eyes, Jiang Chen's 'little fight' is nothing, for Luo Feng now, the benefits that 'Goliath Giant' can bring are It can speed up Luo Feng's growth a lot.
In order to fulfill Hu Yanbo's last wish and train Luo Feng as his direct disciple, Babata was also willing to make certain concessions in other places.
Seeing Babata agree, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile: "That's it, then, when Luo Feng registers his citizenship, I will go and change the equity."
" What do you want me to do?" Babata hasn't realized Jiang Chen's true purpose.
"For now, I mainly need you to check some information. I will tell you when needed." Jiang Chen did not answer Babata's question directly.
The main thing is that there is no way to explain such a thing as the ‘Cosmic Galaxy Five-Star Account’.
When Luo Feng enters the universe, even reaches the stellar level, and inherits Hu Yanbo's first legacy, it won't be too abrupt to bring it up.
——
Returning to Earth, Jiang Chen did not alert anyone, but quietly went to see Luo Feng, and then dispatched his star and planet-level slaves.
Except for some who stayed in their own base to guard, the rest were scattered to the homes of Luo Feng, Wei Wen and several other friends who had good relations with Jiang Chen.
After coming to the world of Devouring Starry Sky, Jiang Chen didn’t have many close friends.
Luo Feng counts as one, and Wei Wen counts as one. The three of them grew up together and have known each other since before going to school.
When Jiang Chen was a child, he had no parents to take care of him, and his life was very poor. Luo Feng and Wei Wen's parents also helped Jiang Chen, which made Jiang Chen's childhood not too difficult.
Without this relationship, Jiang Chen, Luo Feng, and Wei Wen may not be able to become good friends who talk about everything.
Except for the two of them, there are only a few childhood playmates left, but as they grew up, they took different life trajectories, and they were already estranged before Jiang Chen got the system.
However, Jiang Chen was a nostalgic person after all, so he still assigned his slaves to protect them secretly.
With the strength of these slaves of at least the ninth level of the planet, as long as they want to hide, there are very few people on the earth who can detect their existence, and they can be counted on one hand.
And these people will not set their sights on a group of 'ordinary people'.
No. 2, No. 4, and their dozens of planetary ninth-level slaves, integrated into the earth without any flaws, and lurked secretly under Jiang Chen's order.
As for everything in the universe, Jiang Chen did not reveal it to the top human beings at the first time, not even the virtual universe login device, 'Purple Light', which was specially prepared for human evolution and brought back from the universe. Lu' and other items were not taken out immediately.
Only Luo Feng knew that Jiang Chen had been to the universe. Jiang Chen left him a batch of metal materials for the golden-horned giant beast to swallow, as well as ten kilograms of 'Blue Wave Marrow', and an unnamed Virtual universe login.
After returning to Earth, Jiang Chen spent less time in the laboratory or the system library, and focused more on the virtual universe, constantly consulting a large amount of information about the universe to understand this huge and vast universe.
It wasn’t until Jiang Chen thought he had enough understanding of the environment, situation, etc. in the universe that Jiang Chen called Jia Yi and proposed to initiate a ‘high-level meeting’.
