Chapter 76 The space adventurer arrives!
After the introduction, Jiang Chen asked the 'butler' to take Luo Feng to visit the factory, while he checked the report submitted by the 'butler'.
This report is very detailed. Just by looking at the content, you can clearly picture in your mind the entire process of continuous expansion of the entire factory from the beginning of construction to the present day for more than a year.
However, Jiang Chen didn't care about most of the details, focusing on the large amount of data listed by the 'butler'.
Including inventory in the warehouse, the number of production lines, the production efficiency of the ‘Goliath Giant’, purchase costs, selling prices, etc.
Combining the logs sent to him by the intelligence before, Jiang Chen carefully calculated the output and quantity of goods entering and exiting. Jiang Chen was surprised to find that this factory was also benefited from his expertise [mass production experience].
[Experiences of mass production]: The success rate of assembling any production line is +50%, the mass production efficiency is +20%, and the production cost is -20%.
The attribute 'Assembly production line success rate' is useless, at least so far Jiang Chen has not found its use. The success rate of assembling any production line is 100%, and he has never encountered a failure.
However, the two attributes of 'mass production efficiency +20%' and 'production cost -20%' are very valuable and can increase Jiang Chen's efficiency in making money by several levels.
Without these two characteristics, ‘Goliath Giant’ would still be a very profitable business, but the efficiency of snowballing would be greatly reduced.
"Except for the first production line, the following production lines are all built by intelligent control. I am not involved, can I still enjoy the bonus of [mass production experience]? It is because the intelligence is controlled by me and is counted. Was it built by me? Or can I enjoy the bonus as long as it is a production line under my name?"
Many speculations emerged in Jiang Chen's mind.
The working principle of ‘expertise’ is as mysterious as the system itself, an existence that Jiang Chen cannot understand.
If you want to understand the principle of this, at least Jiang Chen doesn't have any confidence that he can do it now.
However, no matter how the expertise works, as long as it is useful enough, it is enough.
As for the rest, there is no need to delve into it.
——
Jiang Chen and his party stayed in Bailanxing for a few days. On the one hand, they were going through the procedures for changing the equity of the factory. Luo Feng had no citizenship before, so naturally he could not obtain equity.
On the other hand, both Luo Feng's transport fleet and the manpower sent by Jiang Chen to develop the 'Aurora Star' and 'Raven Star' mineral veins also need time to prepare.
The former is Luo Feng’s own business, and Jiang Chen has no involvement at all.
As for the latter, the 'Butler' recommended two slaves who were good at management, plus the deputies assigned to them, to form two teams, heading to the 'Aurora Star' and the 'Raven Star' respectively, taking Jiang Chen from Black Dragon Mountain The imperial official obtained the approval to receive the mineral vein.
As for the miners who mine the ore veins, Jiang Chen mobilized a total of 50,000 SCVs directly from Mars. Ten thousand SCVs for each ore vein can almost achieve maximum mining efficiency.
These five mineral veins can solve a small part of the "low-grade" ore supply of 'Goliath Giant'.
But more B-grade metals, as well as a small amount of C-grade metals, still need to be imported from the outside world.
Even so, the five ore veins can still reduce the raw material cost of ‘Goliath Giant’ by nearly 5%.
It doesn't seem like much, but if the number is enlarged to thousands or even thousands of mechas per year, the money saved will be considerable.
If the production capacity of the factory on Bailan Star can reach 5,000 Goliath Titans per year, these five mines alone can save Jiang Chen more than 10 billion Black Dragon Coins every year.
The cost is only a ‘contracting fee’ of less than 3 billion per year and some worthless SCVs.
——The latter is very cheap and only requires some common metal resources such as iron and titanium. The metals contained in asteroids in the solar system alone are enough to produce hundreds of millions of SCV.
Three times more profit, to some extent even higher than that of ‘Goliath’.
However, the combination of the two can maximize the advantages.
After spending a few days, Jiang Chen straightened out the industries on the 'Aurora Star' and 'Raven Star', and after confirming that they were on track, he boarded the spacecraft to return to Earth.
Same as before, Jiang Chen does not plan to take part in the further development and expansion himself. The management talents among his slaves will be responsible for it.
You only need to grasp a general direction, and you don’t need to worry too much about the remaining details.
The control of biochips and the monitoring of artificial intelligence are enough to ensure that there will be no problems within the industry.
As for the outside...
Jiang Chen's assets are not enough to attract the covetousness of an overly powerful enemy.
Those thieves who are making small troubles don’t even need No. 1 or 3 to take action. The automatic defense weapons in the factory are enough to clear out those blind thieves.
This time when entering the universe, Luo Feng also purchased a C-class spaceship of his own. If he goes to the universe in the future, he will not need to borrow a spaceship from Jiang Chen.
Similarly, Babata also handed over a copy of the road map to and from the earth to Jiang Chen.
"This is the road map to and from the earth. It's okay to go out, just fly directly into the dark universe. It's more troublesome when you return. You have to follow a specific route. Just let your intelligence record the route."
< br>Babata handed the road map to Jiang Chen and warned: " The space secrets left by the master are very important for the protection of the earth. This road map must not be spread to anyone, including you people on earth.”
“Don’t worry, I’m not the one. None." Jiang Chen has no intention of letting anyone else on earth go to the universe.
Although Hong, Jia Yi and others proposed more than once that they wanted to enter the universe and see the world, Jiang Chen rejected them on the grounds that 'the time is not yet ripe'.
The current earth is still too weak, and the secrets involved in the earth are too great.
Jiang Chen didn't want those ignorant strong men on Earth to run into the universe and inadvertently expose some of Earth's secrets, thus provoking powerful enemies that they couldn't fight against.
"Luo Feng."
Jiang Chen looked at Luo Feng and said, "When the earthlings clone themselves to the star level, let me know."
"Star level?" Luo Feng was a little confused, but he didn't think much about it. Asked, he just nodded and said: "I bought a lot of treasures this time. If I go back and practice for a while, I should be able to reach the star level soon. At most...a few years."
"Anyway, we're here. Just contact me at any time.”
Jiang Chen said something casually, then said goodbye and left, returning to his base in South America.
The electronic calendar in the base hall shows the current time, May 2061.
Countless information flashed through Jiang Chen's mind, and he said to himself: "There is less than half a year left... We have to speed up the progress."
——
In the world of "Swallowing Stars", the crisis on the earth seems to never stop.
First, there was the ‘Great Nirvana’ that almost led to the extinction of human civilization. After finally re-emerging from the Great Nirvana, restoring and even surpassing the prosperity before the Great Nirvana, a terrifying starry sky behemoth, the Golden-Horned Behemoth, descended on the earth again.
Luo Feng risked his life and finally eliminated the golden-horned beast. Less than two years later, the 'robber' from the universe, a member of the Nuolanshan family, The exploration team discovered the earth.
Although the appearance of Jiang Chen caused many butterfly effects and changed many things.
But this level of change is obviously not enough to affect the universe.
At least, Jiang Chen can be sure that the adventure team of the Nuo Lanshan family will still come to earth.
There is a high possibility that even the time will not change, it will be at the end of this year.
The strength of this adventure team is not strong. The strongest person is only at the sixth level of the star. Jiang Chen is fully confident that he can easily kill the opponent.
But the real trouble is that you have to be quick and eliminate this adventure team before the other party can react. You must not give the other party a chance to send a message.
Once the information on the earth is leaked, the strength of the Enoch Lanshan family is completely capable of causing a nearly devastating blow to the earth.
The head of the Nuolanshan family alone, the cosmic-level powerhouse with the title of 'Giant Ax Warrior', is enough to destroy the earth countless times.
If it attracts Nuolan Shan's attention, it will definitely be a huge trouble for the earth.
And if he wants to destroy the adventure team before they get close to the earth, even if Jiang Chen has the advantage in force, he still needs to make sufficient preparations.
Under Jiang Chen's order, after the third expansion of Bai Lanxing's factory, it paused further expansion and instead spent most of its profits to purchase a large number of in-system monitoring equipment.
Tens of billions of Black Dragon coins were poured down, and the entire solar system was completely monitored by Jiang Chen.
Unless this adventure team has D-level or above concealment equipment or anti-detection equipment, they will be discovered by Jiang Chen as soon as they enter the interior of the solar system.
On November 21, China time, Jiang Chen was immersed in the system library when he was suddenly awakened by a harsh alarm.
"Master, a C5-class spacecraft has been detected, about 4.3 billion kilometers away from the earth!"
Jarvis quickly reported his findings and projected the picture on the big screen.
On the screen was a void of starry sky. A saucer-shaped silver-gray spaceship suddenly appeared in the void, and then began to accelerate, flying towards the earth.
In the background of the vast starry sky, a light blue planet flashed past.
Although it was only for a moment, Jiang Chen still recognized the origin of this planet, Neptune.
Since Pluto was downgraded to a dwarf planet and kicked out of the 'planet' sequence, Neptune has become the farthest planet from the sun in the solar system.
After observing for a while, Jiang Chen discovered that this spaceship was actually the same model as his own. The flagship C5-class spaceship in the 'Black Dragon Mountain X' series is known for its extremely high cost performance.
Even the color is the same silver gray.
"4.3 billion kilometers, if you fly at a speed infinitely close to the speed of light, it will take more than forty hours." Jiang Chen immediately ordered: "Send a spacecraft to take off, carrying a 'C6-class laser cannon' to intercept! At the same time, the 'Goliath Titan' 'As the second interceptor, the team must prevent the opponent from relying on "Close."
After a pause, Jiang Chen ordered again: "Recall Teams No. 2 and No. 4 and have them go to Mars orbit to prepare for the third interception, just in case!"
In order to deal with the Nuolanshan family's adventure team, Jiang Chen prepared three lines of defense.
The C6-class laser cannon bought from the universe at a high price can destroy the C5-class spacecraft in an instant if it hits directly, killing the people inside the spacecraft.
However, the C6-class laser cannon is extremely expensive, and Jiang Chen only prepared one.
If the shot misses or misses, it will definitely be too late to recharge and fire the second shot.
At this time, a team of 'Goliath Giants' controlled remotely by Jarvis will conduct the second interception.
If it still fails, No. 2, No. 4 and their slaves will form a third line of defense in the orbit of Mars to prevent the Nolanshan family adventure team from approaching the earth.
Although he was fully prepared, Jiang Chen still did not dare to be careless when it came to the safety of the earth. After assigning the task to Jarvis, he immediately called Luo Feng.
"Luo Feng, time is urgent, listen to me." Jiang Chen interrupted Luo Feng's greetings and spoke quickly: "There are adventurers in the universe entering the solar system, and I have sent my men to intercept them. On your side, ask your slaves to set off quickly, and this adventure team must not be allowed to discover the earth!”
"Cosmic Adventure Team? How could it be?" Luo Feng was surprised at first.
He completely couldn't understand why there was an adventure team approaching the Earth in the universe when the Earth's dark universe coordinates were obscured by Hu Yanbo's space secrets.
But Luo Feng reacted immediately. Now is not the time to get to the bottom of it.
He immediately said: "Okay, I will send Meng One and Meng Two out now! They will cooperate with you!"
"I have also arranged two lines of defense in front. If two When all the defense lines fail, it will be their turn to take action. The location of the third line of defense is in the orbit of Mars. I have sent you the specific coordinates.”
Jiang Chen said this and turned his attention to the monitoring screen.
However, the communication with Luo Feng was not interrupted. Through the video screen, Luo Feng could also see the spacecraft in the universe that was rapidly approaching the earth.
On the other big screen, there are spaceships quickly taking off from the earth and Mars, flying towards the predetermined interception position.
Jiangnan Base City, Mingyue Community.
Luo Feng looked at the spaceships in the picture in surprise and couldn't help but said: "When did Ah Chen prepare so many spaceships? Did he already know that this day would come?"
This is not the first time Luo Feng has experienced Jiang Chen's 'Unpredictable Prophet'.
However, Luo Feng is a very measured person. Although he is very curious, he will never pry into his friends' secrets.
In the picture, the spacecraft of both sides are constantly approaching.
But due to the distance, even the first interception was not in place until nearly twenty hours later.
The spaceship of the Nuolanshan family adventure team was a few hours late before approaching the location where the 'C6-class laser cannon' was ambush.
"The distance is 18.2 million kilometers, laser cannon charging begins! Charging time is 50 seconds!"
Jarvis's voice sounded, and both Jiang Chen and Luo Feng clenched their fists nervously.
If this shot can hit, it will kill the enemy instantly, leaving the enemy no time to react.
