Chapter 109 Returning Home and Development
Except for the lack of T-slot doomsday-level weapons, the Star Fortress is equivalent to a dreadnought, half an aircraft carrier, and a bunch of large and small battleships in other aspects. Except that it cannot move, it is a battle fortress with no dead ends.
If you want to capture this star fort without a flagship, you will need a huge fleet including at least a hundred battleships.
The current Jialan Army is different from the past. At this time, there are few teams near the outpost that can pose a threat to the Jialan Army, and the few that can threaten them cannot attack them for no reason.
Li Qing spent an hour reading this information and fully understood the development of the legion during this period.
In the past six months, in addition to repairing the Star Castle, Army Commander Yu Yuefei has decided to partially transform the planet of the headquarters. He has restarted the abandoned transformation facilities on the planet and is currently trying to transform it.
In addition, the legion has successively sent fleets to clear out anomalies and wild monsters in dozens of nearby galaxies, allowing a large number of affiliated players to establish personal bases in nearby galaxies.
Ding Youran returned to the outpost half a month after Li Qing came back. He changed defenses with Wang Yanqing, who was stationed at the outpost in the first half of the year. He took charge of the legion's situation at the outpost, recruited new people, and served as the commander of the expeditionary force every month. The special mission they promised to reward a battleship has now accumulated six ships, which are temporarily integrated into Wang Yanqing's fleet.
At the same time, Yu Yuefei returned to Tianjin five months ago. She came back a month ago and brought him a large number of shipbuilding engineers.
There are a total of 10 groups of destroyer shipbuilding engineers, 400 groups of frigate shipbuilding engineers, and a chief engineer who he specially commissioned to recruit who is studying battleship construction.
This engineer has a blue name. He could only build cruisers before, but because of his special talent, he can advance again. He started studying further courses related to battleship construction two years ago. Now that he has graduated, he would normally be hired by a university. The forces recruit you with high salaries, and after learning for a period of time, you can try to build a battleship yourself.
Yu Yuefei was careful about this trip back, so she happened to intercept it and matched it with 10 groups of battleship engineers.
This is exactly what Li Qing needs. It doesn't matter if he can't build it yet, he can directly transform it into a servant of light and he can build it immediately.
With the support of his family, he can buy 10 battleship blueprints from the family at the market price every month. Although he has not been at home for the past six months, the monthly blueprints have been stored. He can go back at any time to collect 110 blueprints for a year at a time. .
If there is no time, the family can even send it from Jinmen.
Now that he hasn't been back for more than half a year, the family will probably send it over in advance. Li Qing plans to go back to the outpost in a few days to take a look.
If so, we can start building battleships directly at that time.
In addition to these, Yu Yuefei also helped him recruit a thousand experts in agriculture and animal husbandry on the planet that was being transformed.
Li Qing was very busy in the next few days. He first went to receive the various talents brought by Yu Yuefei from Jinmen, as well as the various ores accumulated by the legion these days. According to what he said before leaving, Ding Youran purchased the legion. Some of the ore was left unsold, and now a full trillion cubic meters have been accumulated.
It seems like a lot, but it is all raw ore that has not been crushed and refined. Everyone knows that most of the raw ore is useless rock impurities and contains very little mineral content, many of which are less than 1%. After refining, you don’t know how much is left. .
Of course, all the affiliated members and full members of the entire legion can mine more than this in half a year. The main reason is that the legion currently has insufficient capital and cannot mine unlimited mines. Therefore, after accumulating one trillion cubic meters, all the excess is refined and sold at the outpost. .
It is worth mentioning that this trillion cubic meters of raw ore was purchased by the Legion. Most of the raw ore in Tun is cheap raw ore such as iron ore, gray spar and limestone.
Iron-like ore costs 3.9 stars per unit, and after being refined into steel, the price is 390 stars per unit.
Gray crystal costs 3 stars per side, and after refining, the price is 300 stars per side.
Gray stone costs 3.7 stars per side, and after refining, the price is 370 stars per side.
In total, it is calculated as 3.4 star yuan per square meter, which is 20% off the purchase price of the legion. One trillion square meters is 2.72 trillion star yuan.
It took Li Qing two days to refine all the trillions of cubic meters of raw ore into steel, which is relatively the most valuable among the three cheap ores, totaling about 10 billion cubic meters. Based on the current market price of steel of 390 star yuan per unit, the total value is 3.9 trillion star yuan. The relative cost is 2.72 trillion star dollars, which can earn 1.18 trillion star dollars.
Looking at the ratio alone, the profit is not very high, about 30%, but when the capital is large enough, the profit is exaggerated.
However, this is just the simplest selling of raw materials. If all these materials are used to build ships, the profit will be much more than selling raw materials.
All these materials are used in the construction of warships. A total of 500 groups of frigate engineers are in place. As long as the material supply is sufficient, 500 frigates can be built every half a month, and a thousand frigates a month, which will exactly complete the blueprint of the third-generation frigate with the largest production volume in a day. Use up light.
"Hey!"
It just so happens that the frigate mother chip needs to continue to be researched and upgraded, and there is no need to be handcuffed every day.
Li Qing has long since given up on the idea of making money by selling the crazy cuff shell drawings. At this stage, there are ways to make money, so there is no need to do this. If he has the time, he might as well study upgrading the chip and when will the mother chip be upgraded to the fifth generation and be in line with human beings. Just like a frigate, at that time he could try to design his own advanced template frigate.
Just like human civilization, the standard frigate is the Haiyan template, which is common to all human military leaders.
The Raptor-class frigate, which belongs to the elite template, and the Black Hawk-class frigate, which belongs to the excellent template, are two frigate modules unique to the Yu clan.
The Haiyan template is the universal standard template for human civilization. Because when most military leaders originally designed their own warships, their biggest reference was human frigates. Therefore, when upgrading from generation to generation to fifth-generation frigates, the default is the standard Haiyan-class frigate. .
Of course, the standard frigate models of different armies are called differently. Some are called Type 1 frigates instead of Haiyan, some are called Recruit-class frigates, some are called Dagger-class frigates, etc.
The names are different, but the scale attributes are the same.
In addition to the standard Petrel-class modules, almost every family will design one or two frigates with attributes that exceed the standard Petrel-class frigates.
This design is not mandatory, but almost all clans will design their own unique elite battleship modules.
This is also the biggest difference between regular legions and individual players. For example, the regular legion fleets of major armies have elite frigates, and the main force is an outstanding model. Both the single body and the average combat power are much stronger than the players' standard Haiyan model. few.
Accordingly, the shelling speed of Elite-class frigates and Excellence-class frigates is much slower than that of regular frigates.
For example, a regular frigate can handle 1,000 shells a day, an elite module frigate can only handle about 100 shells a day, and an excellent one can only handle 10 shells a day.
This is one of the main reasons why there are few such frigates for sale on the market. The output is not high, and the major military leaders do not have enough for their own use, so they will not be sold.
Even if those military leaders who have been in power for hundreds of years have excess in the later period, they will keep it for later use and will not sell it at will.
Returning to the universe in his palm, Li Qing immediately went to the agricultural area. The moment he appeared in the air, he saw patches of green pastures.
At first he thought he had made a mistake and came to the livestock farming area, but when he confirmed it the next second, he was pleasantly surprised.
"The transformation was successful!"
The last time I saw it was three months ago. At that time, some tenacious weeds were already growing on the land. It has only been three months since I came back. The barren land in this agricultural area has turned into a green grassland. It was overgrown with weeds and some unnamed plants.
These plants are all carried by the Shar people. They were transforming a Category 4 planet before. The way many plants are spread is by scattering their seeds in the wind. These Shar people carry these seeds into the palm of the universe, and with the environment of the agricultural area Slowly becoming suitable for survival, these seeds begin to take root and sprout.
Most of them are weeds, but there are also a few unknown plants, flowers, and some small trees that have just grown.
It is worth mentioning that among these new plants, there are a small number of new Shar people.
They probably accepted their fate, or the uneasy environment made them decide to breed more tribesmen. Some Shar people took off their branches and planted them in the soil. Many of them have already taken root and sprouted. When they grow to a certain level, they will become new Shars. people.
Li Qing attached great importance to this.
At this stage, there are no immigrants for him to test whether this high-dimensional fortress is considered a miracle of the galaxy, so he can use these Shar people to test it.
When the new Shar people take shape, you can know whether this warehouse area has the potential for large-scale immigration by looking at the attributes of the first born new Shar people.
But this will take a long time. Even if the Shar people grow much faster than humans, it will still take several years.
Before that, agricultural areas should be developed first.
First, he found the list of the first batch of agricultural experts recruited by his men, checked their abilities and skills one by one, and selected an agricultural expert named Niu Wen to be enlightened into a servant of light, and was promoted to a super agricultural expert in one step. expert.
Farming also needs to be done professionally.
Then, it’s planning.
Such a large agricultural area, with a length and width of 1,000 kilometers, definitely requires careful planning.
There was no professional designer, so Li Qing tried to design it himself.
First, the entire agricultural area is divided into one hundred large areas, each area is one hundred kilometers long and wide.
Then plan to build a road about 100 meters wide between these areas. The ground is raised to distinguish them. In addition to being used for traffic, various agricultural facilities can be built on the roadside. Anyway, the width of 100 meters can be any establish.
The one hundred kilometers of large areas are divided into medium-sized areas with ten kilometers as the boundary, separated by twenty-meter roads.
As for this medium-sized area that is ten kilometers long and wide, there is currently no more detailed area divided into smaller areas. This will be divided on-site depending on the planting situation at that time.
Of course, irrigation facilities such as water channels are planned at a later stage, and when they are actually planted, they will depend on the plants planted in different areas.
In such a large area, a total of 10,000 huge agricultural areas of 10 kilometers * 10 kilometers, of course, it is impossible to plant all rice, and some other cash crops will also be planted.
In addition, Li Qing selected a large area in the middle of the 100-kilometer area. It will not be used for reclamation. Instead, a temporary warehouse area and industrial area will be established there. Some factories relying on deep food processing will be opened here. , directly further process the various foods produced.
For example, wheat is made into various grades of noodles, or noodles are processed into various noodles or breads, rice is processed into rice noodles, etc.
After completing the design and planning of the agricultural area, Li Qing left the agricultural area and came to the animal husbandry area.
The enlightened Servant of Light Niu Wen is a super agricultural expert. He knows more than just farming. The Servant of Light has so many skill slots that he can learn all kinds of related professional knowledge while developing it. He only needs to give orders and his men will come. implement.
The status of the livestock and animal husbandry area at this time is the same as that of the agricultural area. Compared with the agricultural area that requires various planning, the planning of the animal husbandry area is simpler.
Divide one hundred large areas in the same way, and then there is no need to divide medium-sized areas. As long as half of the large areas are filled with various pastures, simple infrastructure is built, and you can buy small cowboy lamb cakes and so on.
As for the other half of the area, part is divided into an indoor poultry breeding area, part is planned as a fishery area, and part is divided into a fruit growing area.
Temporary warehouses and various industrial zones are also established in the center for deep processing of various raw products.
Similarly, Li Qing selected an expert in animal husbandry named Liu Mengyang from among the original animal husbandry experts and became a servant of light, specifically responsible for this aspect.
The simple division is completed and the tasks have been assigned. One million robots are divided into two parts, with 500,000 each allocated to the agricultural area and the animal husbandry area. Next, you only need to wait for the infrastructure construction to be completed before you can buy seedlings. .
"Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind!"
Li Qing didn't care anymore and came to the eighth floor again.
This floor was originally planned to be an industrial area for consumables and various people's livelihoods. It was originally planned that all factories would be opened here.
But there are not that many factories to open now. The few factories are located on the sixth and seventh floors. Now there are only some outdated industrial production lines inside. Because there are no workers, they have not been in operation.
Li Qing thought about it and simply dismantled these outdated production lines and re-planned them.
The industrial area remained unchanged, but only half of it was retained. The other half was repurposed for other purposes. He planned to move the clone cultivation base and robot production base from the tenth floor.
The tenth floor is mainly the scientific research area and the army military area.
At this time, the clone cultivation base was still under construction, but several factories were under construction in the robot production base, hosted by Mechanical Core No. 0, which specialized in building octopus combat robots.
After the relocation, Li Qing will stop manufacturing combat robots and switch to the construction of various civilian robots.
The construction of both factories and future living areas will require a large number of construction workers, especially living areas. When the time comes, a super city cluster will need to be built, which will require a large number of construction workers.
There are a lot of trivial things to do in building a territory. If you want to be relaxed, you need more talents. (End of chapter)
