Chapter 63 Li Qing’s crazy idea
She has previously set up a set of standard configurations with a total value of about 26 billion, including the battleship, a total of 36 billion stars.
Because Li Qing was the first main battleship in his life, he not only refitted it but also redesigned and configured it with a better one. The total price was 58.94 billion star yuan. After deducting what Yu Yuefei had already paid, he now only needs to pay an additional 22.94 billion star yuan. .
It is worth mentioning that the configuration of another battleship that has just been built is the same. After modification and reconfiguration, tens of billions of stars can be saved.
After confirmation, the shipyard is ready to start work, because all kinds of weapon accessories are ready-made and do not need to be re-manufactured. Now these weapon accessories are just installed directly, so the ship can be obtained in about half a month.
It has been more than two years since the development, and Li Qing is finally getting his first battleship. Li Qing is both emotional and happy.
With the Servant of Light's talent and skill bonus, the battleship's combat effectiveness will be ridiculously strong, and it will be no problem in a one-on-three battle. If the Sand Tower tribe combines the configuration of those with only third-level technology, it will be confident in a one-on-five battle.
Today, his current strength has finally reached a new level, entering the upper ranks of the same generation of pioneers.
If there is one, there are two. With the first battleship in hand, is the new battleship still far away?
After dealing with the battleship matter, Li Qing was not idle. Taking advantage of half a month's free time, he first used Yu Yuefei's relationship to visit a very famous robotics expert at the outpost, and transferred the one million he had dug up previously. Two robots of each type were selected, and the robot expert was entrusted to recompile several sets of the underlying core codes of the robots suitable for different situations according to the technological level of these robots.
This thing does not belong to human civilization, and it cannot be used without rewriting the core underlying code.
Fortunately, the technological level of human beings is much higher than that of the unknown alien race, so the difficulty of compilation is not high.
Next, he spent some money to upgrade the thirty industrial production lines, and then threw them directly into the eighth-floor industrial area of the warehouse area of Gaodimensional Fortress.
Then some of the harvest was also sold. 26 blueprints of weapons and accessories, some of which could be used 5 times, and some of which could be used 50 times, were sold for a total of 65 million.
A piece of third-generation large-scale resistant steel armor that can be used 30 times has a unit price of 1.2 million per time, totaling 36 million.
A blueprint for a third-generation large-scale laser cannon that can be used 50 times. The unit price is 1.3 million per time, totaling 65 million.
A particle light spear blueprint is worth 200 million.
The three small residential stations were sold to the outpost. Because they needed to be completely renovated after being purchased, the price was not very high. Each one was 1.8 billion star yuan, and the three of them totaled 5.4 billion star yuan.
Taken together, the total revenue is 5.766 billion star dollars, and the current assets are 53.5 billion star dollars.
The money seems to be quite a lot, but the operations Li Qing is going to do next will cost a lot of money.
On the battlefield where he previously attacked the No. 6 residential station in the southern province of the Shata Tribe United Civilization, he had a bold idea.
This idea was derived from the aircraft carrier cruiser. When he observed that the two aircraft carrier cruisers Li Lie and Li Qina opened their hangars and more than two thousand space fighters formed a huge fleet formation to besiege the enemy battleships, he was born with a very special idea. Crazy idea.
The combat concept of an aircraft carrier is to use a huge combat platform to carry fighter aircraft for combat.
The platform itself has no combat effectiveness, and its main combat effectiveness lies in the space fighters it intercepts.
The larger the platform, the more space fighters it carries, and the more powerful its combat effectiveness will be.
This is one of the main reasons why an interstellar carrier that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of space fighters is called a flagship. Think about how terrifying it would be when the three to four hundred thousand space fighters on board rush towards it densely.
In fact, an aircraft carrier formation with a star carrier will usually have a large number of small aircraft carriers modified from cruisers and battleships, which can maximize the combat effectiveness of the carrier.
Therefore, a general aircraft carrier formation with one interstellar carrier can actually dispatch far more than four or five million space fighter fleets, usually in the millions.
The main division-level fleets under the major military leaders can dispatch up to several million space fighters at a time, or even tens of millions of sorties, which is outrageous.
So here’s the question. A standard Archon-class star carrier is 11 kilometers long and can accommodate up to 360,000 space fighters for takeoff operations.
As for the warehouse area of the high-dimensional fortress in Li Qing's palm universe, any one floor is one thousand kilometers long and one hundred kilometers high. Such a large warehouse area can be easily divided into one floor and transformed into an aircraft carrier combat platform, one hundred kilometers high. How many space fighters can be accommodated on a 100-story, 1,000-meter-high platform?
"The super carrier among supers?"
Li Qing held his chin with his hand while thinking about this crazy idea, and his smile gradually became abnormal unknowingly.
This idea is very feasible, or completely feasible, but now we just need funds to transform it.
First of all, fully transforming an area of 1,000 kilometers in length, 100 kilometers in height into an aircraft carrier combat platform requires a huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources. The consumption and cost of this thing are much higher than building a flagship aircraft carrier.
Although there is no need to build a blueprint for a flagship or build a mothership shell, it is just a matter of dividing that warehouse into a thousand floors.
Yes, it's a thousand layers.
The height of one hundred kilometers is 100,000 meters, which is divided into one hundred major layers, and each major layer is divided into ten small layers, for a total of one thousand layers, each layer is 100 meters.
Generally, space fighters are not very large, and even heavy bombers are not more than thirty meters tall. A height of 100 meters is enough for three to be stacked side by side, which will not hinder their maneuvering at all.
In fact, the interior of a real flagship aircraft carrier is not that high between each layer. The height of a space fighter is only about five or six meters.
So.
For such a huge project, a ridiculous amount of materials will be consumed.
Perhaps he can use the newly unlocked super material conversion furnace in the Forging Furnace of Light to convert various resources into the high-strength steel he needs, and then smelt it with other elements into alloys, which can save a lot of expenses, but no matter what Save, the basic expenses will definitely not be less.
It is estimated that it is impossible to get it all without more than tens of trillions.
However, he can do one layer first!
A portable combat platform does not require a hull, nor does it require armor or energy shields for defense. It does not require propellers, jump engines, and other accessories. It is just a fixed platform. Just build a large layer first and use it together. .
The various modules and accessories required for the aircraft carrier platform are not a big problem. This is not a rare thing. After all, even destroyers can modify the hangar module to be used as a micro-aircraft carrier. The main cost is to purchase carrier-based fighters.
A fifth-generation Deep Space Ghost fighter costs 5 million star dollars, 10,000 aircraft equals 50 billion star dollars, 100,000 aircraft equals 500 billion star dollars, and one million aircraft costs 5 trillion star dollars.
Consider that an elite Eternal-class interstellar carrier can accommodate more than one million space fighters. The fighters alone require an investment of more than five trillion stars.
For such a large platform, one large layer is equivalent to a hundred flagship aircraft carriers. Isn’t it excessive?
The transformation platform does not require a naval architect, only a professional construction team, and then the construction will be done according to the internal structure and standards of a fixed space station base. Strictly speaking, this thing is indeed a super air force base.
As for the professional construction team, this does not require recruitment. It is just a matter of changing all the one million robots that were previously re-edited into construction workers, modifying the underlying core code, and then loading all the brain-inserting skills into construction worker-related skills. , is a qualified worker.
One million construction workers should be enough, just recruit some more senior engineers.
Therefore, his most important task next is to make money, earn hundreds of billions or trillions, acquire hundreds of thousands, millions or even more space fighters, and open the universe channel in his palm whenever there is a battle.
A channel with a diameter of 30 kilometers was opened, which was larger than a flagship carrier. Thousands of space aircraft were released in one breath to cover the sky and the sun. The scene was exciting just thinking about it.
After finishing these things and having nothing to do for the time being, Li Qing simply returned to the universe in his hand to continue building ships.
Just before, the battlefield suffered huge losses, with a total of 14 destroyers, 72 frigates, 600+ space fighters, and one cruiser, 5 destroyers and 18 frigates severely damaged.
Although this loss was shared by Li, Li Lie, Li Qi and others, the overall loss was still huge. You must know that Li Lie's team only had 15 destroyers in total.
The damaged battleship Li Lie and Li Qi had been brought back to the outpost for repairs. At this time, Li Qing was equipping the batch of 72 frigates and 20 destroyers that had been built in the dock with weapons and other accessories.
Originally, there was not enough time to build the destroyer, but when he awakened the Children of the Stars and chose the option of domination, its powerful BUFF bonus acted on the universe in his hand, which greatly increased the production efficiency of the shipyard. This ship has been built and shipped from the factory, complete with supporting equipment. The arsenal has also built the required accessories, and is currently undergoing final assembly and debugging.
After Li Qing planned to build it, he sold it to Li Lie and Li Qi at the market price in Jinmen, which was regarded as a welfare for his own people.
He himself does not need to add more battleships, he only needs one battleship.
When going into battle, the battleships should be the core, with Li Lie and Li Qi escorting them.
"Yes, that's it."
Coming out of the universe in his palm, he contacted Li Lie:
"I have 20 destroyers and 72 frigates here. The finished products are of high quality and ready to be sold to you and Li Qi at the market price at Jinmen. Do you want them?"
Li Qi immediately responded:
"The market price over there in Tianjin? Is it so good?"
"Benefits for you."
"Then give me half."
"OK, come to Star City to get it yourself, I know the location."
"Wait for me."
After a while, Li Qing was confused and found that Li Lie had not responded. He sent another message, but there was still no response.
He scratched his head and sent a message to Li Heng, whom he named:
"Do you know where Li Lie is? Why didn't you reply to the message?"
The other person quickly replied:
"The captain went to gamble on the box."
Li Qingqi said:
"There is also a gambling box here? Where is it?"
"Of course there is, but it's not at the outpost. It's a base in a galaxy between the outpost and the Lester Pirate Group that seems to be established by several large gambling companies and giant trading companies in cooperation with pirates."
"There is still a place like this!"
Li Qing asked curiously:
"Is there anything fun in there?"
Li Heng immediately replied:
"This place has just been established less than two years ago. The base is a neutral zone. Both the empire camp and the pirate camp can go there, but they are not allowed to bring a large fleet there. Only small frigates can go there. There are many black or gray things inside. Although It’s not as colorful as Jinmen and the hinterland of the empire, but it has some popular things. Are you interested in going there to visit? ”
"Oh, by the way, the black market is holding a large-scale auction once a year in the past two days. You can still catch up if you go now."
"No auction."
Li Qing was quite curious and said to him:
"Send me the coordinates and I'll take a look when you have time."
Half a day later, a frigate appeared in a certain galaxy.
As soon as he entered the galaxy, he received an unknown message. When he opened it, a beautiful woman in cool clothes performed a hot dance in front of him. There were also various billboards projected behind him. After the dance, the beautiful woman gave him a Blowing a kiss, she invited him to visit the Heavenly Palace in a seductive tone, and even gave him the coordinates before disappearing.
"This ad is average."
After seeing the pure natural beauties of the two Yu sisters, he no longer had any interest in seeing such artificial beauties that were obviously adjusted by genetic technology.
No matter the appearance or temperament, they are far inferior to them, and even Ding Youran is a little worse.
After comparing the coordinates left at the end, which were exactly the same as those sent by Li Heng, he set the end point coordinates of the frigate and entered the sublight speed state directly.
Half an hour later, the frigate broke away from the sub-light speed state and appeared in an unfamiliar starry sky. The spacecraft sounded an alarm, which was because it detected strong interference and interception force fields nearby.
Turning off the alarm, Li Qing stepped down from the command chair. The starry sky ahead was projected on the bridge glass in front. Above the orbit of a huge gas giant planet, there was a living station consisting of a medium-sized living module and six small living cabins. Parked around it were There are many civilian spacecrafts with billboards hanging on them, and aircraft can be seen coming in and out from time to time.
Not far from the residence station, there is a large fleet headed by more than a dozen battleships parked. Comparing the logos on the battleships, it appears that they are members of the Lester Pirate Group, but it is not clear which clan they belong to.
When the frigate entered the edge of the interception force field, there was a communication from the dispatcher of the space station. In addition to instructing him to park somewhere in the orbit of the gas giant planet, he also introduced the basic situation here.
After the frigate was anchored, a small aircraft flew out of the frigate and plunged into the residential station.
This is a super entertainment city that integrates black and gray industries. You can find mainstream entertainment projects here, including things like the black market.
Of course, Li Qing came here specifically not for his lower body, nor did he come here to gamble on the box like Li Lie, but for the black market.
Well, to be precise, I am just curious. I have heard of the name of this industry before, but I have never been there. I heard that such a place has everything, including some contraband that cannot be purchased in the regular market.
For example, some shady low-priced products, purple epic skill chips, or signal chips of the same level, or even extremely rare relics, or alien slaves, or professionals and scientists with purple reputations and above, etc., there is no shortage of them. , only unexpected. (End of chapter)
