Chapter 26 Transit Base
In addition, there are 50 destroyer blueprints and materials. The unit prices are 15 million for blueprints and 90 million for materials. The total price is 750 million for blueprints and 4.5 billion for materials.
As well as the blueprints and materials of 500 frigates, the unit price is 2 million yuan for the blueprint and 12 million yuan for the materials. The total price is 1 billion yuan for the blueprint + 6 billion yuan for the materials.
Whether destroyers or frigates, they are all standard Tornado-class destroyers and standard Petrel-class frigates.
In addition, he spent a full 2.5 billion star yuan to purchase a finished God-class super-large transport ship with a total of 50,000 cargo holds, each cargo hold is 1,000 cubic meters, with a total capacity of 500 billion cubic meters, and can be installed five times more Towing compartment of its own capacity.
It also spent 2 billion star yuan 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 a trailer bay five times its own capacity.
A total of 720 million yuan was spent to purchase ten medium-sized transport ships and ten small transport ships, with a total capacity of 2 million cubic meters and 500,000 cubic meters respectively.
In addition, it also spent 4 billion star yuan to purchase a very large industrial ship with 40,000 cabins and a total capacity of 40 million cubic meters.
Two large industrial ships, 7,500 cabins, 7.5 million cubic meters, unit price of 800 million, totaling 1.6 billion star yuan.
Two medium-sized industrial ships, 1,500 cabins, 1.5 million cubic meters, unit price 150 million, total 300 million.
Five small industrial ships, 300 cabins, 300,000 square meters, unit price 30 million, total 60 million.
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, a total of 5 million cubic meters, a unit price of 800 million, and a total price of 80 100 million.
This alone cost him a total of 30.88 billion star dollars.
Then, he spent about 1.5 billion to purchase a complete set of large standard base modules.
It contains a large main command module with a cubic size of 1000 meters * 1000 meters * 1000 meters.
Contains nine large auxiliary module cabins, measuring 300*300*300 meters.
Contains thirty-six medium-sized auxiliary module cabins, measuring 100*100*100 meters.
And one hundred and twenty small auxiliary module cabins, measuring 30*30*30 meters.
There are also a total of 100 large container cabins, each with 50,000 square meters of space, dedicated to storing supplies.
In addition, there are several sets of water extraction and purification equipment, five large cold storages filled with food in the cold storages, two sets of artificial food cultivation production lines, a small biology laboratory with 500 million, and a small physics laboratory with 500 million. 500 million for a small engineering laboratory, as well as more than a dozen planetary internal aircraft, and three sets of large-scale ore crushing, screening and refining equipment, each requiring up to 1.1 billion star yuan.
All in all, another 6.6 billion was spent, plus a total of 37.48 billion spent before.
In just four days, assets as high as 40.2 billion star dollars shrank to 2.73 billion star dollars.
However, this is not the end. He also spent 300 million star dollars to purchase 2,000 robots and 200 million star dollars to purchase 2,000 clones. When the base is established, these humans will be put to use immediately.
At the same time, considering the possibility of boarding operations, he also had to purchase a group of marines.
“This money is really not worth spending!”
Li Qing smacked his tongue, endured the heartache, and gritted his teeth to continue.
There are only two types of armies that he can directly recruit now, namely clone troops and robot commandos. The price of both is the same, each soldier is 500,000.
The Clone Force is a one-star army, which refers to clones specially loaded with various combat skills. They are far stronger than ordinary clones. Each soldier is equipped with a set of standard tactical equipment, a laser rifle, and a high-strength alloy tactical weapon. 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 rifles, and two tactical guided rocket launchers.
Each squadron is equipped with an additional in-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.
The recruitment price for a squad of 20 clone troopers is 10 million.
The recruitment price for a squadron of 100 clone troopers is 60 million.
The recruitment price for a battalion of 500 clone troopers is 350 million.
Li Qing directly recruited a clone brigade and a robot assault brigade, a total of one thousand people, and spent a total of 700 million star dollars.
It is worth mentioning that the full Marine Corps has its own command. The squad has a squad leader, the squadron has a squadron leader, and the group has a captain. Moreover, clone troops and robot commandos do not require salaries or complicated training. Logistics is a cannon fodder unit that is cheap and easy to use.
In just four days, a total of 38.2 billion star yuan was spent. This set of things can basically satisfy a completely self-sufficient personal base and maintain it for a long time.
But it's basically satisfactory, not perfect. In fact, there are still a lot of things that need to be configured, but now I've run out of money.
But it’s not a big problem, as long as you can get by in the early stage, go there and make some money first, and then slowly deploy it later.
When everything was ready, Li Qing sent a message to Yang Yunbo, giving him the small base and a mining line there.
Anyway, I don’t have much money and I’m too lazy to spend half a year running there.
The warm starlight shines into the starry sky, and a destroyer slowly leaves the starport bathed in the starlight.
After preparing for so long, I finally set sail again.
Without talking to anyone, Li Qing left alone.
The destroyer arrived at the central super star gate of the Jinmen Galaxy and paid a destroyer ticket worth 3 million. After a short wait in line, the destroyer entered the star gate. Along with the surging energy tide, the space began to distort.
This is the main reason why there are star gates in two places, but some large caravans would rather spend a long time traveling through galaxies and hundreds of light years to the opposite side instead of going directly through the star gate.
It costs money to go directly to the Star Gate, it's not free.
Generally speaking, the ticket price for a frigate is 1 million stars, which corresponds to a small ship.
The ticket price for a destroyer is 5 million stars, which corresponds to a medium-sized ship.
The ticket price for a cruiser is 25 million stars, which corresponds to large ships.
The ticket price for a battleship is 50,000 star yuan, which corresponds to a very large ship.
The ticket price for a flagship ship is 5 billion star yuan.
And this is only the price within the range of 1,000 light-years. If it exceeds this distance, the toll fee +1% for each additional light-year.
For every additional light-year beyond 2,000 light-years, the toll will be +2% for each additional light-year above a thousand light-years.
If it exceeds 3,000 light-years, the toll will still be +4% for each additional light-year on top of a thousand light-years, and so on.
If it's more than 10,000 light years away, the ticket price will be ridiculously high.
Those large caravans often consist of dozens or hundreds of large or even super-large cargo ships. If you take the Star Gate, the toll alone will be billions. How much is the profit for one trip? The tickets alone will be billions less. Who would want to do it.
Although some products are still profitable even if they go through the Star Gate, for profit-seeking businessmen, losing billions or even tens of billions for no reason is a psychological hurdle.
Wouldn't it be nice to join together to form a larger caravan, spend a few months and a year traveling across the galaxy, and earn tens of billions more?
When space was restored again, the destroyer had left the Jinmen system and even left the Jinmen province.
Li Qing opened the star map, which showed that his position had left the Jinmen Province and arrived at the junction of the Tianjin Star Territory and the Zutar Star Territory.
Since the United Empire began to conquer the Zutar Star Territory, the Yu family established a transit base with a star gate at the junction of the Tianjin Star Territory and the Zutar Star Territory.
The base has no name, so it is called a transit base. It has a first-level star city, a super large space residential station and seven large and medium-sized space residential stations.
Although there are no living planets in a large area of the 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 was not inferior to that of Jinmen, and was even more lively. Be active.
Not only are the three regional channels bustling with activity, but even the elite channel that rarely saw people speaking in Tianjin is also very active here, and people can be seen speaking from time to time.
The destroyer first entered the transit base Star City and registered with the expeditionary force.
At this time, because the outpost in Zutar is under construction, the expeditionary force headquarters is still here. When it is built there, the expeditionary force headquarters will be moved there.
It is worth mentioning that even if an outpost is established and a star city is erected, there will be no star gate to directly teleport there.
Because the Zutar star field is covered by dust nebulae, some special substances contained in it can affect transmission. That thing is like a large-scale interference force field covering most of the Zutar star field. Not only the star gate cannot be transmitted in, but also the general The warship's hyperspace engine cannot control its landing point inside. Once it is forcibly used, there is a high probability that the transmission will fail and appear in the endless airspace between galaxies.
Therefore, to go from the transit base to the outpost, you must sail there by yourself and cannot use the star gate to teleport there.
Unless, some super star gates that can forcibly penetrate the nebula can be obtained.
After the registration was completed, Li Qing didn't go anywhere. He was squatting on the battleship watching the regional channel, preparing to analyze the current situation here from the channel.
"Large caravans heading to the outpost are looking for escorts. They need small and medium-sized teams with a credit score of 70 or above. Salary is negotiable."
"The Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce is recruiting escorts. The destination outpost requires a large and medium-sized team with a credit score of 75 or above. Salary is negotiable."
"The Sky Surveyor Corps recruits independent pioneers. It requires pioneers who are under ten years old. There is no limit on whether they are old or new. Old people need to see their past records. Newcomers need to see their innate attributes and preferential treatment. They also recruit a group of miners. They need mining skills of LV3 or above and mineral analysis. LV3 or above, space geology LV2 or above.”
"Attention, the Tianji team accepted the escort mission, but was robbed and killed midway and did nothing, resulting in the goods being robbed. Please be careful, caravan bosses."
"Silly than the Qianyuan Chamber of Commerce, they took a detour halfway and forced us to do tasks that had nothing to do with the escort, which led to us being attacked. This matter has nothing to do with the escort. It is not against the rules for us to refuse."
"The Nagrand Army recruits independent pioneers, the requirement is less than ten years"
Ignoring the two people scolding each other, Li Qing could tell from just a glance that the business in the transit base was so prosperous.
The establishment of an outpost will definitely require the transportation of massive supplies from Tianjin. In fact, collecting supplies can be considered one of the military tasks. In the early days before the outpost was established, such tasks accounted for a large proportion.
"Well, should I try to run a business too?"
Although the transit base to the outpost has to be flown by himself, he does not need to bring a large fleet and directly collect the fleet into the palm of his hand. A destroyer can travel lightly, which means he does not need to travel from Jinmen to the transit base. The travel expenses also saved the cost of recruiting a convoy fleet.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly received a strange communication.
After he connected it casually, the light screen popped open, and Li Lie appeared on the light screen. He asked in surprise:
"Didn't you say you can't come to Zutar?"
Li Qing was even more surprised and asked:
"How did you know I was here? I just came here."
"My dad told me."
"Second uncle"
"By the way, did you come alone?"
"Yeah."
"That's just right. We have united several small and medium-sized teams to organize a super fleet to go to the outpost. We are recruiting a convoy. Do you want to come over? Your salary will be calculated based on the ships under your command."
< br>
"Ah this."
Li Qing thought for a moment and asked:
"When will you leave?"
"There's still about a week left. The main reason is that the fleet is too large and needs more guards. We haven't recruited them 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 gasped:
"You guys are so big?"
Li Lie nodded and said:
"Yes, we have a big boss in our team, Yu Yuefei, do you know that the pearl of the Yu family with purple epic innate talent? She formed a team with her twin sister and several other people of her own race, and then she teamed up with a few others Small and medium-sized teams work together to do this big thing, and once they can successfully deliver the goods to the outpost, they will earn at least 40% of the profit.”
"Hiss!"
Li Qing was shocked again. 40% of the principal of two trillion was 800 billion.
A few days ago, he was still proud of himself for making 40 billion Xingyuan in one fell swoop, but now he looks at other people's businesses, and they are making trillions, and he is suddenly outclassed.
"How can she have so much capital with a capital of two trillion?"
"Many of the same people I'm looking for are pioneers from the previous generation and the one before that. They come from wealthy families and have been around for six or seven years longer than us. It shouldn't be a problem to save tens of billions or even hundreds of billions. Other than that, Many of the teams she joins or cooperates with are aristocratic children of other top families, and they are also rich. It is not impossible to make up two trillion yuan. ”
"This is too rich!"
"Hehe, there are quite a few direct descendants of top families here. I heard that one of them is a direct descendant of the fourteenth star sea lords in the empire. They all go there to pursue beauties."
"Okay!"
Li Qing clicked his tongue:
"By the way, you also went there to pursue beauties?"
"No, I think her team has attracted too many noble elites. There must be a future. If you follow them, if you can capture a living planet in the future, then I am also one of the elders, and I will definitely be counted among them. At that time, whether you hold the shares or sell them, it will be a lot of money.”
"By the way, do you want to come?"
"Is it okay if I only have two boats?"
"Of course, you are my Qinghe Li family after all."
"Okay, 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. I'll come over in a few days."
"Good luck."(End of chapter)
