Chapter 110 Chief Engineer of Battleship Construction (please vote for me)
Looking at the three remaining Servant of Light initiation places he had left, Li Qing thought for a while and initiated another Servant of Light. He was also an engineer and had talents related to space fighter design, named Song Shuguang.
The last quota was used for an administrative staff member named Jiang Yuhai. After being transformed into a Servant of Light, his management-related skills instantly surged to LV20. With the talent of a Servant of Light, his management ability instantly exploded.
Li Qing appointed him as the territorial administrator, responsible for the administrative management and planning of the entire warehouse area from the sixth to the tenth floor.
Below the fifth floor are the warehouse area and the aircraft carrier floor, where no supervisor is needed.
After doing this, Li Qing basically doesn't need to bother himself with some messy little things. Li Qing only needs to make decisions on some important things.
Arriving at the scientific research area, Li Qing came to the laboratory as a routine to communicate with the mechanical ascension player.
At this time, Li Qing has not thought about what to do with him. As a player, he cannot control him by rewriting the underlying code. This can be regarded as a welfare for players. For example, Mechanical Core No. 0 does not have a player identity. In theory, the machine can ascend. His level is the same as that of this mechanically ascended player, but he was casually kneaded in the hands of the servant of light, Chen Guangli, without the ability to resist.
Well, he still doesn't know the name of this mechanically ascended player. It's not that he didn't ask, but the other party didn't answer the question.
Some ordinary players chatting about this mechanical ascension were quite happy to answer, but when asked questions related to Lord Senluo, they remained silent, which left Li Qing speechless.
It seems that nothing can be asked. It is almost impossible to get him to speak in the normal way, but other ways.
It's not impossible, but Li Qing still doesn't want to use that method unless he has to.
The method is very simple, turn him into a servant of light.
Enlightening Servants of Light is also effective for players, but because he hasn't tried it yet, he doesn't know what the consequences will be. Is it like other organic creatures becoming absolutely loyal to him, or... he can't tell.
Anyway, there is a quota every month, so there is no harm in using one up.
The main reason why it is not used yet is not sure whether it will be effective for the player. The main reason is that the player is a mechanical ascensionist, and after enlightening the Servant of Light, spiritual energy will be forcibly awakened. As we all know, spiritual ascension and mechanical ascension are the same. conflicting.
If he was transformed into a servant of light, his second stage of mechanical ascension would be useless.
Such a large mechanical combat body was still stored in the starry sky in the universe in the palm of his hand. Li Qing did not move at all, thinking that if he conquered it in the future, such a powerful mechanical ascension body would come in handy.
If he was transformed into a servant of light, it would be directly useless, and he was a bit reluctant to let it go.
Moreover, there is another problem that Li Qing is unwilling to admit.
If he is not transformed into a servant of light, he cannot guarantee the player's loyalty.
After all, this mechanically ascended player comes from the command of Lord Senluo Xinghai, a former iron-hearted exterminator. In their eyes, all organic life forms need to be destroyed, including humans.
Perhaps with the defeat of the Senluo Star Sea Lords, they may have given up on this trend of thought and will no longer exterminate everything, but how can such a thing be said for sure?
Is it a road to the end?
Or repent?
Who knows what they were thinking.
If he is not enlightened and becomes a servant of light, he will most likely pretend to surrender. There is no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days. If one day he makes a mistake and causes a big disaster, it will be too late to regret it.
"Headache!"
After chatting briefly for a while, Li Qing said goodbye and left.
The crystal ball hung motionless in the air, and from time to time, small lightning bolts exploded inside.
"Let's talk about it after I equip a battleship with an advanced jump engine!"
Li Qing set the final time. If she didn't cooperate by then, he would have no choice but to destroy her.
Well, this mechanical ascendant was once a woman.
Coming out of the Palm Universe, Li Qing made an announcement on the legion channel——
"Starting from next month, the legion will begin to order warships, ranging from ordinary mining ships, transport ships, to battleships. All official legion members only need to provide blueprints, and they can customize various warships at 90% of the market price at the outpost."
As soon as the announcement was issued, the legion channel was quiet for more than ten seconds, followed by countless inquiries:
"No way? Is it true? When did our headquarters have a shipyard? Why have I never seen it before?"
"I haven't seen it either, but I seem to have heard that there is a large shipyard inside the space relic held by the military commander. I don't know if it is true or not."
"It should be true, otherwise the president would not have issued this announcement."
"Doesn't that mean that we don't have to go to outposts to compete with others for shipbuilding quotas in the future, and can order directly within the legion?"
At this time, someone Aite Li Qing asked:
"Chief, are there any restrictions on this order?"
Li Qing smiled and replied:
"Basically there are no restrictions. If I have to say restrictions, it is that I only have a chief engineer on hand who can build battleships. I can build up to ten battleships in one batch. Other than that, there are no restrictions."
In response to his response, someone immediately laughed and said:
"It's completely enough. There are so few battleship blueprints, so it's completely enough."
"By the way, my shipyard is a bit special. Shipbuilding is very fast. Battleships can be shipped out of the factory in only nine months, which is twice as fast as the 18 months of a normal shipyard. The same goes for other ships."
He left half of the margin as a buffer. Sometimes when he needed to build a ship, he could squeeze out time from this half of the margin without affecting the normal order construction.
"Damn it, you're holding it in your mouth like that!"
"Commander, I have a battleship here, can you take the order now?"
"No problem."
"Fuck, you move so fast."
"Chief, I also have one here."
Li Qing responded one by one:
"There are all quotas. Don't worry. I will open registration later. You can go to Li Lie to register the ships that need to be built. Just give him the blueprint. Construction will be arranged within three days without queuing up."
"By the way, the Legion Shipyard also includes the modification and strengthening of warships and the manufacturing of weapon accessories, but you need to prepare your own drawings."
In less than half a day, Li Qingfa's announcement had spread throughout the legion territory galaxy, and even players affiliated with the legion were aware of it.
Li Qing did not refuse them to order warships. The dock was big enough anyway.
However, affiliated members do not have the 10% discount and priority benefits of legion members, but it is cheaper than going directly to the outpost. Li Qing gave them the normal market price. A fully equipped standard Haiyan-class frigate costs 142 million at the outpost. Star Yuan can be bought from him for about 130 million Star Yuan, which is tens of millions of Star Yuan cheaper. Even a normal person knows where to buy it.
In addition, Li Qing also vigorously promoted his third-generation frigate to everyone. As long as 113.6 million star yuan, you can buy a fully equipped finished warship. Its combat effectiveness is slightly worse than the Haiyan-class frigate, but compared with the outpost base. The boat can be cheaper by about 31 million.
Of course, the cheaper the cannon fodder, the better.
In less than two days, Li Qing received a total of 5,114 orders for third-generation frigates, with a total price of 580.9 billion star yuan and a net profit of 258.3 billion star yuan.
It will take a total of five and a half months to complete, with an average monthly net profit of 50 billion star dollars.
"It's quite profitable."
Even if the internal market of the legion will be saturated soon, don't worry. At that time, you can collect them and sell them to the outpost. The supply there is said to be in short supply. They can easily build two batches of one thousand frigates every month.
After confirming the production tasks, Li Qing turned the battleship engineer named Chen Wencai whom Yu Yuefei had found into a Servant of Light on the spot, using up the last Servant of Light quota.
After becoming a Servant of Light, all relevant shipbuilding skills he mastered were upgraded to level LV20. Originally, he needed to intern in a large shipyard to gain experience in building battleships, but now he can get started immediately.
Ten groups of senior engineers and ordinary shipbuilding engineers for building battleships were all in place. The super dock allocated a capacity of 200 ships, and the construction of ten battleships began.
Five of them were his own, and the other five were battleships that other members of the Legion had blueprints for.
Li Qing is ready to train this engineer well. When his shipbuilding skills slowly improve until he reaches level LV30, he can learn skills related to flagship warship construction, and then he can be promoted to a flagship warship construction chief engineer.
By that time, it's just bullshit.
You have a super shipyard that can build a flagship, and a chief engineer that can build a flagship. You only need a complete set of flagship blueprints to build a flagship-level giant battleship yourself.
What's the point?
Making money is second. To be honest, building a flagship is indeed quite profitable. After all, this thing can cost trillions of stars to start with.
But compared to the significance of being able to build a flagship, making money is actually trivial.
We must know that the entire United Human Empire has the ability to independently build a giant shipyard with a flagship. Except for each of the fourteen star sea lords who have one, the other two hundred or so warlords combined are less than ten who have that ability.
In other words, in the entire United Human Empire, there will never be more than thirty giant shipyards capable of building flagship giant battleships alone.
Most of the flagships owned by warlords are built by warlords with huge shipyards.
For example, the Li family in Qinghe does not have a huge shipyard of its own that can build a flagship.
The Jinmen Yu Family does have a huge shipyard, but the capacity of the flagship battleship is too large. Generally, after building one ship, the remaining capacity in the shipyard is not enough to build a second ship at the same time.
The construction time of a flagship is often more than five years, and the construction time of a Titan super flag is more than ten years. Therefore, the rarity of blueprints is not eliminated in terms of quantity. Shipbuilding capacity is also a key factor restricting the number of flagships.
In other words, if the high-dimensional fortress he has in hand can build a flagship, then
Immediately, many military leaders who have been queuing in other shipyards for many years will come over waving their checks to order shipbuilding. Money is nothing, and the favors and relationships of these big shots are more valuable.
As time goes by, the restrictions on the pioneers will become smaller and smaller. After ten years, they will be able to take advantage of the various relationships behind them, and the families behind them can directly support them. Unrestricted.
At that time, these favors and connections will come in handy.
Of course, by that time, they will have no so-called rookie protection. They will need to compete on the same starting line with other senior pioneers who have been around for more than ten years, or even twenty or thirty years.
In other words, after ten years, if they still cannot win the three major civilizations, after the protection period expires, other senior pioneers can enter the field to compete.
The three major armies located in Jinmen will immediately mobilize their main forces to enter the arena. Teams that have not captured the planet by then will have a hard time competing with them unless the forces behind them are against the will of heaven.
You must know that the three legions in Jinmen all have flagships. When the three legions are merged, their combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the current expeditionary force.
By then, the remaining parts of the three major civilizations will probably be pushed aside in less than half a year.
So they have to capture a planet within ten years. After ten years, they basically have no chance.
It is now the third and a half years of development. There is still more than a year before the best opportunity for the Jialan Army. Li Qing plans that if he can successfully capture the reef nest planet by then, he will slowly show his strength. and potential, obtain favors and relationships in this area, and strive to be able to hold on to the planet after seizing it, and continue to hold it until the expiration of the ten-year development period, and be able to hold the planet under the noses of many senior legions who have entered the field.
"So now, it's time for me to go to the outpost and get back the battleship blueprint given by my family."
After excluding the 10 ships taken at the beginning, there are still 110 ships.
It can only be said that great-grandfather Niupi actually collected so many battleship blueprints.
Li Qing believed that his great-grandfather might still have a flagship blueprint in his hands, but he could not give it to him at this stage. Such super combat power would have to wait until at least the fifth year of development before he could find a reason to reward it.
Everyone is the same. There are so many pioneers in the outpost, and there are many direct descendants of top players with higher status than him. They also have to abide by the rules and wait until the fifth year of pioneering.
According to the construction time of the flagship, it took about five years, and it would be put into service in the tenth year of development.
At that time, restrictions will be fully relaxed, and senior pioneers will enter. At that time, only teams with flagships will have the capital to compete with these senior pioneers, and teams without flagships will basically be eliminated.
Li Qing was lucky enough to get a fearless flagship in the first year of development. Yu Yuefei had taken it back to her family's Jinmen giant shipyard to build it two years ago. According to time, nearly half of it has been built now. According to the expeditionary force Commander Yu Qingzhi said that the construction can be completed when the military operation starts in a year and a half, which means that the shipbuilding speed of the giant shipyard of Jinmen Yushi should be faster than that of a normal shipyard, and it can be completed in only three and a half years.
In the fifth year, when others had just obtained the flagship blueprint, they already had a finished Dreadnought flagship in hand. In addition, the super aircraft carrier in the Palm Universe was equivalent to two flagships. Who could be their opponent in this early stage.
The next day, Li Qing directly located the coordinates of a psychic entity in the galaxy near the outpost through the psychic saint in the virtual realm, and directly used his psychic energy to jump to the outside of the gravity well of the galaxy next to the outpost.
After he summoned this psychic saint, he compressed it into a metal box, and then added various disguises to the outside to look like a meteorite the size of a table and threw it into the asteroid belt outside the galaxy's gravity well. Even if a spacecraft passed by, it would not be detected. to the psychic entity within. (End of chapter)
