[Time: 78th Era - 191 Yuan - 055]
When Long Bai finished the work of opening up the seven interstellar trade routes in the Lonicera star system and returned to the Arina star system again, the 10-kilometer-diameter Molan The survival mothership has taken shape.
It has not been painted yet, and the outer shell is made of silver gray and black metal plates arranged in a staggered manner.
While the survival mothership is revolving around the sun in the planetary orbit, it also rotates slowly to maintain its stability.
As soon as Long Bai approached, a large group of butterflies emerged from the entrance and exit hatch at the equator.
"Leader Longbai!"
Xia Yue greeted.
Behind him were 17 holy butterfly warriors, large and small, at least half of whom Long Bai didn't recognize.
“Leader Longbai!”
A stellar realm holy butterfly warrior greeted.
Xia Yue solemnly introduced: "Chief Longbai, this is Bai Ying. He was the same generation as Lan Ying and Zi Ying when they were on the home planet. He participated in the war against Blue Island."
Bai Ying : "Leader Long Bai, do you still know me? On my home planet, I have a very good relationship with Mo Lan, Zi, Caigang, and Lu Xin. We have teamed up twice to the Antarctic wilderness to exercise our abilities."
"...Remember!"
Long Bai was somewhat impressed by it, but after hearing its words and seeing its careless appearance, he felt secretly wary.
Xia Yue and Bai Ying took turns introducing other Holy Butterfly warriors to Long Bai.
A brief introduction and a round of greetings.
Xia Yue said: "We helped get the navigation sequence of the Molan survival mothership. There are also energy ships. I helped order six of them as required."
"They are respectively There are two Cizao-01-10 10 times the speed of light energy ships, each priced at 2 billion raw crystals; two Cizao-01-50 50 times the speed of light energy ships, each priced at 6 billion raw crystals; Cizao -Two 01-100 100 times light speed energy ships, each priced at 10 billion. "
"The total is 36 billion raw crystals. The navigation sequence has been obtained and can be put into use directly. "
The so-called 'navigation sequence' is the 'identification certificate' that all interstellar vehicles must have, a serial number composed of pure characters, a pass certificate for entering and exiting the star system, and entering the star port for repairs and supplies.
The so-called 'energy ship' is a special starship that collects, compresses and reserves raw energy to provide energy for the survival mothership.
A big thing with a diameter of 10 kilometers, sailing and moving for one light year, consumes raw energy in units of hundreds of millions. Carrying tens of thousands of Zerg warriors to the Force Vacuum Star Field to engage in heavy material collection work, the daily consumption of raw energy is astronomical.
You definitely cannot use raw crystal.
Therefore, such starships used in galaxy construction projects, including survival motherships, have obtained special powers and are allowed to carry 'energy ships'. Through the energy ships, they can directly travel from the first or second level source point. Collect raw energy, compress it and store it to power the mothership.
Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for a privately built survival mothership to obtain the 'Navigable Order' from the White Crystal Chamber of Commerce.
The matching energy ship is also difficult to buy separately, and even if it can be bought, the price is ridiculously high.
Xia Yue has a certain say in the Shengdie Tribe, especially in the Xiange Star Territory. If it comes forward, things will be simple.
With the navigation sequence and energy ship in hand, the Molan survival mothership can sail freely in the White Crystal Galaxy and undertake the project openly.
"Sorry for the trouble, President Xia Yue!"
"I will transfer the original crystal to you."
Long Bai sincerely thanked him, opened his StarNet account, transferred an integer of 40 billion, and said: "Thank you for your hard work, I'll pay you for your hard work."
"Chief Long Bai is so polite..."
Xia Yue paused, raised his paw and pointed in the direction of the distant star, and said:
"Vice President Gui Fan and the others have arranged two ships to collect raw energy, and plan to launch a trial run of the Molan survival mothership. . We are very curious, so we stayed and took a look.”
“Can we sail?”
Long Bai was surprised, "Calculating the time, it shouldn't be so fast..."
Xia Yue said: "The overall frame has been built, and the internal and external power systems have been built. Now we just need the internal compartments, the wiring of the power system, and the motherboard The various production and maintenance factories and other facilities carried by the ship have not yet been assembled. Xingshenao suggested moving outward and hovering at the adjacent star network channel 500 million kilometers away from the planet's orbit to complete the remaining assembly work and avoid the mothership. The gravity of the ship affects the mineral stars and the living planets."
"Understood!"
Long Bai waved his claws and greeted: "President Xia Yue, Bai Ying, let's take a look. Go!”
…
Inside the mothership, there are only sixty-four keels connected to the starship's 'heart', supporting the starship's outer shell.
Gui Fan and Xingyun Bai are directing 500 technology bugs to lay the equatorial zone partitions. They have only laid a very small piece, not long after they started.
After meeting and greeting, Long Bai asked about the situation. It would take 110 years at the earliest to be completed.
Then he returned to Hunan Star, greeted Star Shenao, and inspected the factory and warehouse conditions.
Zi Sha, Scale Oak, Hei Ti and other insect commands are operating efficiently.
Over in the azure star system, Mo Lan selected another 200 Zerg warriors who had innately awakened metal talents and were good at metal abilities and were quite smart to study and then work.
The progress of the project has improved, but it is limited.
…
Return to the survival mothership Mo Lan again.
Long Bai looked at it for a while and said:
"President Xia Querk, I need to go back to the Sheep Hoof Star System to do some errands. Do you want to go there and play together?"
"No. No need to bother."
Xia Querk shook his tentacles, Said: "We all work in the Xiange Star Territory and have many things to do. It's okay to come nearby to see the strange things, but it's not appropriate to go far away. We are waiting to see the survival mothership start operating. After watching, we will leave. We also have to go back Work."
Bai Ying: "Longbai Ant King, you can go about your business, we will just watch and don't cause trouble."
"Okay-"
Long Bai agreed.
It can be seen that these guys are bored and came here to see something strange.
It’s good to have the tribe provide resources to raise them. You don’t have to do too much work, let alone worry, and there is no worry or pressure.
Long Bai was different...
Long Bai was not too polite and set off in a hurry on the Tubo.
…
The Goat's Hoof Star System,
The Saddle Leaf Star, the third floor of the Luohe Chamber of Commerce Branch.
"Long Bai, you are finally back."
Luo Li stood up from the backstage, walked out, and asked eagerly: "I heard from Mo Lan that a group of people who are proficient in the metal system have been added. A capable warrior? How is the construction progress of the mothership? ”
"It's sped up a little bit."
"It will take about a hundred years to complete. We have obtained the navigation order in advance, and it can be put into use immediately after it is completed."
Long Bai asked back: "Luo Li , the project you mentioned last time has started?”
“It started 47 years ago”
Luo Qi raised his claws, the water system ability changed, and the white water vapor condensed characters were listed. Print out a long list of data.
This time there are 5 source points, the farthest distance from each other is no more than 200 light years, and the closest distance is only 18 light years.
Construction of the five source points forming a cluster must be started at the same time, which is a rare large-scale project.
The number of the first-level source point is 311049101
Force concentration 1.34
It is planned to build 17 mineral stars and 1 living planet.
The four zero-level source points are numbered from 311049102 to 311049105.
The concentration of the Force varies,
all are cultivated into living planets, and 27 living planets are planned to be built.
In total,
a total of 5 stars, 17 mineral stars, and 28 life planets need to be built.
Luo Li introduced: "The Taozitiao Jiding tribe has a request to build all five star systems within fifteen thousand years. The project is very urgent, and this is the opportunity for you to enter."
< br>"The person in charge of this project is President Huangzhu, and it is divided into three major projects: stars, mineral stars and living planets, which are respectively responsible for the three presidents Shuizhu, Yuchan and Qianqu. Temporary office location Located in Gongfenxing South Commercial District 1001, Block 998, Shops 024 to 037. "
"Because there is a gaseous material belt nearly one light-year long near the source point, there is ready-made high-purity gas. The planet can be used directly, and the working environment is excellent. All the construction projects of the five stars have been contracted."
"The mining star technology is the most difficult..."
Luo Li asked: " Long Bai, if it’s a mineral star, are you sure?”
Long Bai shook his tentacles and said: "No!"
Luo Li knew this answer and said: "Then there are only living planets left that have no requirements for technology and strength. In these years, I have I will go to Gongfenxing every five months to say hello to the four stewards and presidents and get some news."
Luo Li said, and as soon as he thought about it, he listed a long list of quotes.
Lanyan Chamber of Commerce: Independently contracted the construction project of No. 01 Star, the contract price is 2.2 million chaos rough stones...
Breakdown of project payment:
In the first phase, the gaseous planet has a diameter of 300,000 kilometers and lights up to become a star.
In the second period, the diameter of the star is 400,000 kilometers. The third phase, star diameter...
...
Bai Tong Chamber of Commerce: independently contracted the No. 02 star construction project, the contract price is 2.34 million chaos rough stones.
Breakdown of project payment:
In the first phase, the gaseous planet has a diameter of 300,000 kilometers and lights up to become a star.
The second issue, star diameter...
...
This guy Luo Li directly got the project contract contract from Luo Li Chamber of Commerce.
Starnet account, 1 Chaos Raw Stone is equal to 100 million Raw Crystals.
Such a large project can only be afforded by level four or above chambers of commerce led by Sujing-level warriors. The project cost is based on ‘100 million’!
The star is large, requires many motherships and Zerg warriors, and the cost is extremely high.
The construction of a mineral star requires many requirements and is relatively difficult. Different chambers of commerce will contract with different forces, and the quotations will be different. At the same time, the price is also directly related to the physical regional environment allocated to the construction planet. If the physical environment is good and construction is easy, the price will be low. On the contrary, the price will be high.
The contract price of a single mineral star is between 25,000 and 35,000 Chaos Rough Stones.
Living planets are relatively simple to build and the price is low.
Currently, there are 19 construction teams from 7 chambers of commerce, contracting 19 living planets.
The contracting prices range from 9,000 Chaos Rough Stones to 18,000 Chaos Rough Stones.
It is also divided into installments.
For example, if the diameter of the planet is 3,000 kilometers, ask the steward of the Luohe Chamber of Commerce to come to inspect and accept it, confirm it is qualified, and pay the first project payment.
When the diameter of the planet reaches 5,000 kilometers, the steward of the Luohe Chamber of Commerce will be asked to come to inspect and accept it. After confirming that it is qualified, the second project payment will be paid.
Acceptance will be done in five stages and the accounts will be settled.
A total of 28 life planets need to be built, and currently there are only 9 left, and teams are being recruited.
Long Bai quickly glanced around and asked: "Luoji, the total cost of the project exceeds 1,500 trillion? However, the Luoji Chamber of Commerce only received the permanent management of one level 0.6 source point and one level 0.9 source point. Quan? Even if the two source star systems are successfully leased, the annual rent will be less than 15 million, right? "
"That's not the case. "
>
Luo Li said: "The seventh-level chamber of commerce has a fixed amount of ultra-long-term, ultra-low-interest loans from the Baijing Chamber of Commerce based on the distance between its star network. The chamber of commerce uses the permanent operating rights of the zero-level source point as collateral to borrow from the Baijing Chamber of Commerce. In fact, there is no need to fund it yourself. "
"According to regulations, the Chamber of Commerce will undertake the zero-level source point construction project and must also build a star network to connect the newly developed source point star systems, which requires a large amount of investment. However, the construction of the Star Network has benefits such as subsidies from the Baijing Chamber of Commerce, interest-free loans, and an increase in the loan limit."
Long Bai thought for a moment and tapped his tentacles to express his understanding.
The seventh-level and eighth-level chambers of commerce are both operating with debt. The original crystal loaned from the White Crystal Chamber of Commerce is basically considered to be one's own.
Luo Li reminded: "In some cases, matter is the scarcest resource in the starry sky. Their distribution is random, arbitrary, and often unsatisfactory. The team that enters first will definitely seize the best opportunity first. The teams entering later can only collect in areas with poor material density and unsatisfactory material structure. This involves transportation costs, insect power costs, and time costs. It is also the final cost difference to build a living planet. It may be a multiple of 0.8 trillion and 1.6 trillion.”
"As usual, President Qian Qu will assign you to go to a material area and collect in the designated star area."
"I also found out the division map of the material collection area. Bai Wei, Hong Tao , mochi, juniper, and silver cypress. They set out for inspection 42 years ago and should be back soon."
"I suggest that no matter which collection area you offer, your quotation cannot be lower than the current price. The price quoted is 18,000 Chaos Original Crystals. It can be a little higher, but don’t go too far. After all, I don’t have any experience in the industry, so I might be rejected directly.”
“Go over first, and I’ll introduce you to Qian Quhui. Let’s see what it says.”
“If the preliminary negotiation is concluded, I suggest that the specific contract price be finalized after everyone comes back from the inspection.”
"Luojun Chamber of Commerce has professional bugs who are responsible for calculating the cost. They calculate it very carefully. They know the construction cost of each planet well. You also need to be clear about the situation and calculate the accounts clearly. The final profit of this job may be in the quotation. Among the tens of billions and hundreds of billions."
"Understood!"
Long Bai asked: "Let's go now?"
"Let's go! ”
Luo Li waved his paw and walked straight towards the stairs.
…
…
Gongfenxing Commercial District,
Luoji Chamber of Commerce temporarily rented a row of shops as the project command station. In addition to the four stewards and presidents, There are also many flame spider warriors responsible for various subdivisions.
The Taozitiao Jiding tribe sent soldiers to supervise the work. One was to speed up the progress of the project, and the other was to check the quality of the planet.
Luo Li led Long Bai and arrived at the shop numbered 998-024. There was a vertical sign at the door with the words: [Huang Quxing·Fourth Project Department]
Go upstairs,
Second floor.
In a spacious room that was simply equipped with a holographic projection device, a flame spider warrior with an earthy body and eight silver-white spider legs slowly stood up.
White-legged flame spider? Kind of like a mutated branch.
"President Qianqu!"
Luo Li greeted and introduced: "This is the leader of Longbai of the Pandan Chamber of Commerce that I mentioned to you!"
"I've seen him before. President Qianqu!”
Long Bai greeted.
“Oh——”
President Qian Qu stared, examined, and said: "An ant king with an extremely powerful star core!"
President Qian Qu followed up and asked: "I heard that you explored the starry sky and found an ant king that has not yet been discovered. Completely scrapped, the remains of the third-level survival mothership are being produced independently and repaired by themselves?"
"Yes"
Long Bai took the initiative to introduce: "It has passed. The professional warriors of the Baijing Chamber of Commerce have reviewed and certified, and after obtaining the pass sequence, the construction can be completed within a hundred years, and you can go to the site directly to participate in the work."
Chairman Qian Qu was dubious and asked: "Are you sure you can start running again? The shell assembled by the Zerg warriors won’t leak?”
"..."
"There must be no low-level errors like air leakage..."
Long Bai: "The test was started once, and the core system is running normally. It is confirmed that it can run, and it can be used It’s a top-notch survival mothership power system with a maximum speed of 1,200 times the speed of light, so there won’t be any problems.”
“Okay—”
“You, the ant king, have some skills!”
President Qian Qu asked again: "How many Zerg warriors can be mobilized to participate in the work? Don't you have any work experience?"
Long Bai replied: "Thirty thousand Zerg warriors can be mobilized to participate. I can also cultivate an appropriate amount of ants myself. There will definitely be no problem with the labor force."
"As for work experience..."
"This type of project is, to put it bluntly, hard work, and there is no technical threshold. In other words, the focus is on command, management, and scheduling, and assigning appropriate and simple tasks to tens of thousands of Zerg warriors so that they can act in an orderly and efficient manner."
"I have six zero-level source points. With the experience of colonizing the galaxy, he has a clear understanding of the material structure inside and outside of the living planet. He directly or indirectly operates five zero-level source points, and he knows very well what kind of planet’s geological structure is most suitable for the survival and reproduction of life.”
"At the same time, I also have rich experience in commanding thousands of ant queens and queen bees, hundreds of millions of ant colonies, and experience in commanding tens of thousands of Zerg warriors."
"I have never been exposed to planet construction projects. , but I have learned the relevant knowledge on my own and don’t see any difficulty. I think there won’t be any big problems. I am confident that I will be able to solve them if I encounter some minor problems at work.”
“Not bad!” >
“A very confident ant king!”
“It can be seen that you are a leader of the ant tribe with outstanding commanding ability.”
President Qian Qu was very satisfied with Long Bai’s answer.
More importantly, they can rebuild their own survival starships. A bug with this ability must have profound knowledge, and there are a large number of smart bugs under his command, bugs with outstanding abilities.
Theoretically speaking, there is no problem for such a team to build a living planet.
Chairman Qian Qu formally asked: "Chief Longbai, how many life planets do you plan to contract?"
Long Bai: "I heard that time is running out, and I only have one ship to survive. Mothership, let’s contract one for now.”
"Okay~!"
President Qianqu agreed. With a thought, the light in the room dimmed, the holographic projection started, and the three-dimensional image of the star field appeared.
Continuously zoom in and freeze on a high-definition material mass area, marked with white text and displayed in detail.
Chairman Qianqu said: "Chief Longbai, you go to the material group code-named 'Cod' and collect materials at points 024 to 038. The construction period is ten thousand years. You must ensure that within ten thousand years Complete the mission. This project is urgent. If you act quickly enough, you will have the opportunity to participate in the construction of the star and earn more along the way."
"As for the price..."
Qianqu asked tentatively: "Chief Longbai, take a closer look and give me a price for reference? If it's suitable, we can sign the contract now."
After saying that, the star map was enlarged to the extreme. Display clearly.
Long Bai looked at it carefully and asked tentatively: "19,000 Chaos Rough Stones?"
"Forget it~"
President Qian Qu waved his claws and said: "You'd better go there in person, conduct on-the-spot inspections, make careful calculations, and come back and quote me a price seriously." (End of Chapter)
