"Based on the tasks currently issued by civilization, it shouldn't take long for me to accumulate enough funds."
"Although the rewards I received before are enough to buy a flagship, there is no way to buy other military vehicles. My goal is to build a complete formation, not a single warship."
The previous battle was already very uncomfortable for the captain.
In the final analysis, the biggest problem in that battle was that he did not have a completely independent formation, so he had to follow orders a lot of the time, and this was what hurt him the most.
With a complete and independent formation, you can take on tasks according to your own circumstances.
But if not, it would be different. It would be impossible for me to accept the task according to the original idea.
This was the part that gave him the biggest headache, and everything else was fine.
But think about it, there is nothing that can be done about it. After all, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. He still knows this very well.
But fortunately, everything was manageable, and he at least completed the task alive.
There are too many things to consider when joining someone else's team. Just talking about the other party's flawed commanders can raise his blood pressure.
The main reason is that the opponent's side is really tough. Sometimes the mortality rate of the troops under their command is very high. In fact, there are other better ways, but in order to complete the mission without any mistakes, they chose to take risks.
And this is the problem. If you take risks, the treatment he will receive will naturally not be too good.
After all, he and most of the other people in the formation are from outside, so the other party has no feelings for them at all, so most of the time they have nothing to do.
He saw too many teammates eventually being destroyed for various reasons, which made him immediately realize that sometimes things are not as simple as imagined.
Outsiders like myself can never escape under the command of others.
All kinds of painful tasks and high-risk tasks are done by outsiders like them. Although the other party will also send formations, the value of the other party's formations and the formations paid by our side are not equal at all.
This also made him realize that relying on others is definitely not a good choice. The best route in this world is to rely on yourself, not to rely on anything else. Only when you are strong can you be truly strong.
So this time, he has spent all the money he spent on buying the flagship first. He has saved all the money and is naturally planning to use it on himself.
First, he purchased some related special warships.
For example, he purchased quite a few warships such as mining ships or industrial ships, which are used for reconnaissance.
He wanted to save enough money with these battleships so that he could buy some conventional battleships.
In addition, there are many things he needs to prepare here.
If a fleet wants to reach a certain scale, it must pay a lot.
The first is the battleships of the entire fleet. The price of battleships is not cheap, so a lot of money is needed here.
Secondly, the maintenance costs of battleships, ammunition costs and other miscellaneous expenses do not add up to a small amount. Moreover, even if the battleship does not move, the personnel inside the battleship, including some miscellaneous expenses of the battleship itself, add up to every day. A huge number.
A battleship-level battleship must have at least 400 people inside, and cruise ships will have fewer people in comparison.
But even so, the number of people in the entire formation was at least five to six thousand.
Five to six thousand people, this is not a small number, and the salaries offered to these special operations personnel are not low, so if you calculate it all, the cost is very exaggerated, and there are usually no combat missions At that time, these warships were basically just left to eat dust. Only after they had combat missions, would these warships be dispatched, and the most important thing is that even after they are dispatched, you still have to consider the loss. , and the daily expenses for fighting are on another level.
The most taboo thing about the formation is not being able to participate in the war, because as long as there is a war, everything is fine.
The benefits provided by the war are huge, which allows them to easily maintain the expenses of the fleet and still make money. However, if there is no war, then the problem will be huge.
This is hard to do, and you have to rely on your own family resources to maintain it.
Therefore, he needs something that can provide a large amount of income stably in the long term, and this thing need not be thought about, it is naturally the mining team.
Under normal circumstances, after the mining team's ship arrives at the mining site, it will place space storage boxes and some other storage equipment, so basically the collected ore will be placed inside, and the transportation work will be relatively less. , wait until the warehouse is full before carrying out large-volume and rapid transportation, so as to maximize efficiency.
When he was stocking up on ores, he had to do a lot more, such as sending formations to some resource areas to pick up some transportation tasks.
In this case, it can be said that there is no mistake. These industries are always busy, so the income will continue to come.
"It seems that the transport ship needs to be updated. The industry can indeed meet my recent needs, but these are not the only needs I have."
As he spoke, he also fell into thinking.
Maybe he should consider buying a cargo ship. Although this kind of warship is very expensive, its space transportation capacity is extremely exaggerated. The transportation capacity of a cargo ship is 50 times that of ordinary large-capacity industries.
Only such a huge transportation volume can meet his current needs.
Of course, this level of performance is not as easy to choose as imagined, because there are two types of mainstream transport ships in civilization.
The first type of ordinary cargo ship. The second type of deep space transport cargo ship.
These two kinds of warships are very talkative. First of all, the above one has the largest transportation capacity, while the one below has only half of it. But the difference is also obvious. The maneuverability of the above one is It doesn't work, and if you jump, the distance is very short, and it is easy to be interfered by space.
To put it simply, the most important thing about the above ship is that the transportation capacity is guaranteed, but the lower one is different. Although the transportation capacity is much lower, its maneuverability, or its space jumping ability and jumping strength, They are all very powerful.
There is no need to worry about encountering enemies, because this kind of warship can run away when encountering enemies. On the one hand, it is safer, but it loses half of the transportation space. On the other hand, it is unsafe, but the transportation volume is guaranteed. .
He was actually very confused about how to make a choice. However, just when he was still struggling with this, a communication request suddenly caught his attention.
The person who sent the communication request was named Chris, and he and he had previously performed missions in the same formation.
'Chris, long time no see. '
As soon as I got through, the captain greeted me warmly.
"Captain, I heard that you are purchasing a large amount of industrial parts and other documents recently. Are you ready to start building your own fleet?" Chris did not beat around the bush, but asked the question he was more concerned about.
This year's captain couldn't help but frown slightly, obviously. He was a little surprised, why did Chris suddenly talk about this topic? But he still nodded. After all, what he did was not a shameful thing, so he just admitted it openly.
"That's right, now I have been collecting industrial parts, and there are some combat warships like this Chris. Do you have a way to sell some to me?"
'Come on, captain, you don't know what's going on with me. Even if I have money, I won't buy a battleship. This thing is too risky. It's really unnecessary, especially someone like you who builds a fleet. I know him. Many people who formed fleets basically changed careers in the end. '
"This business is too risky, but I wish you good luck."
"By the way, I forgot to get down to business. The reason I contacted you this time is because I received a piece of gossip. I felt that this news might be very useful to you, so I came over to ask."
Upon hearing this, the captain suddenly became interested and asked what the news was.
"Well, a friend of mine received information that United Mining has launched a new ship, and this warship is a flagship-class warship."
"And it's a mining ship."
The captain was also a little surprised to hear this.
"A new type of warship, and it is also the flagship of mining. This is a bit interesting. Aren't the ordinary mineral springs sold by United Mining very good? How could you think of launching such a brand-new warship? You need to know how to develop a brand-new one. Battleship investment and purpose are especially like flagships.”
You must know that before every new ship comes out, it must undergo various tests to judge its performance.
A large amount of resources also need to be invested in the research and development process. All in all, the cost of this wave is very exaggerated. Under such circumstances, every new ship must be stable enough. Take the current situation of United Mining In terms of these series of ore ships launched
Their mining volume is very high.
And in terms of price, although it is very expensive for ordinary people, people with a certain amount of capital can afford it, so the market demand and market space are still relatively large. It is also for this reason that they spend a lot of money. I went to study this without worrying about any so-called losses.
After all, the market is so big, there is no need to worry at all, but the problem is that the new warships are of this level. You must know that the audience of the flagship itself is very small. Under such circumstances, although there are many big influencers who will buy it.
But most of them choose to fight. After all, only the income from fighting can sustain this huge consumption.
So talking about a warship like this that mainly collects resources immediately made him interested. Knowing that in such a small market, they still chose this way is enough to illustrate a problem, that is, they are sure to ensure their This warship can be sold.
And the market scope is very large, otherwise they would definitely lose money this time.
Seeing that he was interested in us, Chris did not show off, but directly sent him some relevant data for him to take a look at.
When the captain saw the battleship data, he was shocked.
"Finfin Whale-class flagship industrial ship."
Next comes the relevant data of this battleship, and this data is also very exaggerated. First of all, the various attributes of the battleship are comparable to those of conventional small aircraft carriers.
As a flagship-level mining ship, it has similar combat power to Xiaohang, which is enough to show that it is not simple
And its combat method is the same as that of an aircraft carrier, fighting through ship-based drones.
And it itself can provide a lot of auxiliary bonuses to drones.
This makes its combat effectiveness not weak. It is no exaggeration to say that it can even be used as a main battleship. However, it is obviously impossible because its price is unknown compared to those of small aircraft carriers. How much more expensive.
His fighting power is mainly used for self-preservation.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that its bonus is more than twice that of the current mainstream mining plus ship riding. That is, it provides assistance in the fleet. Then the mining efficiency of all warships in the fleet must at least increase on the original basis. This alone is an exaggeration.
This is not over yet. While this ship is providing bonuses, it can continue to mine.
He can send out special drones for mining, and this special drone can only be carried by him. This is his specially matched special drone, and it can also be regarded as an industrial base in itself. When collecting, it can process the ore, and it is also equipped with high-density compression equipment to compress the processed ore into high-density ore, greatly reducing its volume.
According to the data given, the original ore ratio and the compressed ratio reached an astonishing 10:1.
That is to say, the same warehouse can now store 10 times the ore here, and he also has an ore warehouse and an item warehouse. The combined capacity of the two warehouses has reached the loading capacity of deep space transportation cargo.
It is no exaggeration to say that with this battleship, it might have taken him 10 days to load all his cargo before, but now, if his mining team does not expand in size, it will take at least 100 days. , and such a long time means that he can go to work with other fitness. Of course, this is only an ideal quality. In fact, because of the possibility of bonus, he only needs about 30 days to install it. It may take others to poach For one or two hundred days, this is the horror of his bonus.
This data naturally made the captain feel a little excited. He knew that he had to win this battleship without even thinking about it.
Of course, he is not stupid. He knows that such a heaven-defying ability means that his price is not cheap, and now it has only shown its functions to a certain extent, and there may be more functions that have not been shown (this chapter End)
