Chapter 1012 Purchase a ship and prepare to explore
After all, their class is often fixed from birth. If they want to change their class, they have to encounter a certain opportunity, seize this opportunity, and finally change their fate.
It sounds more or less magical, but this is the current status of their civilization.
"Everyone must know very well that for us, this is an opportunity to change our destiny. From the moment we are born, our destiny has been decided in many cases. There are not enough resources for us to do some thinking. Things to do.”
"We belong to the group of people living at the bottom of this civilization."
"If there is no suitable opportunity, we may have to wait until we eventually die of old age."
"But now that we have seized such an opportunity, we must control our own destiny no matter what."
At this time, the captain said this to many team members. In fact, everyone is very clear about the current situation.
Opportunities like theirs are rare.
"Captain, don't worry, we all understand what you said. After all, we have seen too many of these things over the years."
"Although I don't know what will happen in the future, we can earn as much as we can now. It would be best if we have the conditions to change the class. If we can't change it, it doesn't matter. At least we have worked hard for it."
Hearing what his teammates said at this time, the captain also nodded with satisfaction. In fact, they have been together for so long, so they naturally know about the situation of their teammates, but sometimes they still have to explain the situation clearly to everyone. In this case, follow-up There won’t be so many complaints when performing various operations.
For them, their current behavior and operations are a kind of gambling. Let's put it this way, put all the resources into it. If it succeeds, everyone will be happy. If it fails, then they will really have nothing. And the most important thing is From the time they became rich to now, apart from their monthly fixed expenses, there is no way to avoid living expenses. In addition to giving it to family members, all the remaining funds were invested.
Even when the economy becomes tight in the later period, all these funds may have to be invested, and the family can only live with the remaining funds. All in all, they now have the ability to change the situation of the entire family, but the decision they made is to invest all the money, which is risky. It is impossible to say that there is no risk at all.
It is even said that the risk is still very high, but in order to change their own destiny, they have no choice but to make this choice. Regarding their behavior, their family members are not stupid and can naturally understand. They also know very well that if they do not use the money If they all invest in it, then they may never be able to be in this class until the next generation. If you are lucky and encounter an opportunity, you may have a chance to change your destiny, but most of the time you may not have such an opportunity.
"Captain, don't worry. We have also discussed the general situation with our family, and they all feel that this is an opportunity for us. If we can seize this opportunity, it will be natural, and our destiny will be fundamentally changed in the future. , so they are also willing to take risks.”
Hearing this, the captain nodded with satisfaction. Every year in civilization, there are many people who have similar ideas to them, and there are also many people who have done the same thing as them.
Although the final fate of most people is not particularly good, and there is a high probability that they will lose all their money and then be beaten back to their original shape, there are also some people who suddenly rise to the top and ultimately change their destiny.
Although everyone knows that doing this is very risky, but what does it mean to them?
Sometimes if you don't work hard, you will never know whether you will be able to make a real change from now on.
In this way, after this communication, everyone became more certain about their future plans.
In the following days, they naturally invested all their resources into it without hesitation, and soon their third and fourth ships were ready.
Naturally, the fifth ship has already been booked.
All in all, the early preparations have been completed, and the next step is the most difficult post-stage for them.
At this time, we are in a huge space station. These space stations are built by some civilized businessmen or some special organizations. Most of the areas where these space stations are established are resource-rich areas. Or some important traffic fortresses, and the reason why these areas were chosen is naturally because the space arranged takes into account that the other party will come to support as soon as possible when encountering danger, so he must arrange various transmission equipment here.
If these transmission equipment are arranged, then naturally some good areas where tolls can be collected will become the first choice.
Once you occupy these areas, there are very few things you need to consider. Exploit all the resources here first, and then slowly start collecting tolls.
It is no exaggeration to say that a good transportation fortress does not need to consider the amount of resource reserves there. It can make a lot of money just by collecting tolls. Of course, if these areas are not related, don't think about it. Captain Shi couldn't help feeling envious as he looked at this luxuriously decorated space station.
"I don't know when we will have such a space station." At this time, a teammate expressed emotion, and after hearing what this teammate said, the captain couldn't help but shake his head.
"What are you thinking about? With our resources, it is impossible for these areas to be our turn in this life. Don't think about it now. For us now, we can make a small amount of money. Then invest these funds to buy a flagship, and I will be satisfied.”
At this time, hearing what the captain said, the teammates all nodded in agreement.
"As long as we have a flagship, it means that we have the authority to buy flagship-level industrial ships. Then we can buy real mining giants."
"Once we have flagship-level collection ships and combat ships, we will really take off in the future."
At this time, everyone was talking about the future, but at this moment, a person came towards them and interrupted their discussion, and everyone stopped talking when they saw the person coming. Gradually it became serious.
This person was the warship sales businessman they contacted.
He has a complete formation in his hands, which is the most critical thing to purchase warships. Although the threshold is not high now, there is still a threshold.
And these things are all hot-selling items, especially some of the better warships.
Of course, this does not refer to the kind of advanced technology, even for basic model warships. There is still a big difference between basic model warships. Some are empty ships and some are fully equipped. Compared with directly purchasing empty ships and fully equipped, it is natural. It is the best, because the various configurations of the ship also cost a lot of money.
A complete fleet includes various warships.
And the assembly of these battleships is naturally configured to complement each other and cooperate with each other to enhance personal combat effectiveness.
After seeing the businessman coming, the captain started relevant negotiations on behalf of everyone.
"Your fleet has a total of two strategic-level warships. A strategic cruiser serves as an auxiliary command ship in the team. In addition, there are 20 cruisers, 40 frigates, 20 combat destroyers and ten reconnaissance ships. .”
"These ships are all first-level technology." Hearing what the captain said, the businessman selling the fleet nodded.
"That's probably it. Our warships use first-level technology equipment, and all warships also use first-level technology."
"The various equipment on the battleship have a usage period of 7 years, which can be considered relatively new."
"The current price we can offer here has been discussed with you before. The price of a battleship-level battleship is 500 million."
"Three million strategic cruisers, 30 million cruisers, 10 million destroyers, 3 million frigates, and 3 million reconnaissance ships."
Upon hearing the merchant's quotation, the captain couldn't help but frown slightly. "Your price is a little bit high."
"How is this possible?"
"Our price is already very affordable, and the equipment list of each ship has been sent to you. You can go to the market to see the price of these equipment. If you buy them all in one set, they will definitely not be cheap."
"But these assemblies of yours have been used for a long time. I saw that many of them have a damage rate of more than 30%. According to this damage rate, the price is somewhat high. ”
"This equipment can be used for at least another 10 years. If you participate in the battle, then there is nothing to say about it. All in all, at our price, it is absolutely unbeatable, even if you go to the second-hand market to buy it, it will definitely It can’t be cheaper than the unit price of the equipment we offer.”
In this way, everyone began to go through rounds of verbal battles. The amount of the transaction this time was too huge. It could not be said that it could be completed in a few days. Including the captain and team members, they spent every day After the negotiation was over, they began to discuss how to lower the price, what other details needed to be taken into consideration, and what issues could be used to further push the price down. After all, they definitely did not have enough funds.
They used all the ore ships as mortgages and borrowed a sum to barely make up the money. So for them, this is all their property. They cannot make any mistakes. If there is a problem, I am afraid they will really All money was lost.
Not only that, they will also owe an astronomical sum that they may never be able to repay in their lifetime, which they cannot accept.
The entire negotiation process took nearly half a month for such a huge amount. No matter how cautious the deal was, after everything was settled, the other party quickly completed the handover procedures.
Although the procedures were more cumbersome, it was still in the interstellar era after all, and the entire handover process was relatively fast. At this time, after everything had been handed over, everyone present came to the port where their ships were parked. When they saw their After this formation, I couldn't help but feel extremely excited.
"Such a huge fleet has unexpectedly become our private property."
At this time, the captain was also filled with pride.
Anyone who sees such a fleet will feel excited.
And the formation here will also be their starting point.
In the future, they will rely on such a team to support themselves.
When they develop in the future, they will have even larger troops.
"Okay, brothers, it's time to recruit personnel according to the plan. Anyone you know can be contacted first."
"But the ugly thing is ahead. If you pull over some useless people who don't obey orders, then don't blame me for being unkind."
After hearing what the captain said, everyone present nodded.
When something good happens, you naturally want to take care of your family first. After all, letting your family make money with you can be regarded as keeping the money from going to outsiders.
Of course, they also have identities. They know the situation of the people in their family very well, and they also know what positions they can hold. For some more important positions, they still choose to recruit people outside.
Of course, it is easier to recruit people. After all, the force value of a formation like theirs is definitely up to standard. Although they are currently at war with Civilization No. 1, sometimes teams from two civilizations will encounter each other.
After these years of development, the current level of technological civilization is not low. At least they can fight against regular formations like Civilization No. 1. The normal battle loss is 5:1.
In recent years, the two civilizations have fought against each other, and the main direction they have taken is towards the high-end. As for some mid- to low-end areas, Civilization No. 7 has not focused on research, because these ships do not play a significant role on the battlefield. It's not big. It's also for this reason that the bugs' technology has achieved a lead on the low-end route.
In the past, 40:1 would have been very normal.
It is now possible to achieve 5:1, and if a better ship is used, it can even reach 2:1.
Of course, it is because of such strength that some people dare to go out to explore. Otherwise, if they encounter the team of Civilization No. 1, they will be left in the cold, and no one will dare to go out and take risks.
As their formation began to recruit people, people soon came to sign up one after another.
There are people applying for different positions, and of course they have carefully selected a group of pretty good people.
This group of people will also go through multiple screenings, and finally all available talents will be left, and then they will continue to recruit people and continue screening. In this way, what will be left in the end are elite people who are very useful to them.
After all, they offer high salaries to recruit capable people.
Soon a team of several thousand people was recruited. These people will have a lot of expenses every month. Not only that, but that's not all. There are also ship maintenance costs and various taxes. fee.
The funds consumed every day were like running water, so after recruiting enough people, the captain immediately set off with everyone. They had already explored an area before they applied to purchase a combat formation.
