Among them, there are 17 combat star battleships and 18 auxiliary star battleships.
There are more than 4,000 soldiers on active duty, including 650 front-line combat soldiers and more than 3,200 second-line logistics and industrial ship soldiers.
There are more than 5,000 reserve soldiers.
Current calculations show that just to maintain our current interstellar fleet, the annual maintenance cost is as high as 15 million star coins.
The benefits, benefits and salary for female fleet soldiers cost 1.2 million star coins a year.
In addition, not counting the interstellar industrial factories, there are more than 50,000 dwarves working in them." Secretary Lilith first reported on the current operation of the Xiaolong Fleet.
"The annual maintenance cost of the fleet is as high as 15 million star coins?" Zhao Chen was shocked by this number: "We only have 35 interstellar battleships!"
Secretary Lilith looked at the commander: "Sir Commander, among our 35 star battleships, four of them are T3 star battleships.
These four T3 star battleships account for two-thirds of the maintenance costs."
Zhao Chen finally understood why those interstellar forces would rather maintain a bunch of T1 interstellar battleships than rarely serve a single T3 interstellar battleship.
During non-combat periods, the T3 star battleship is the ancestor.
The T1 star battleship can be repaired and maintained casually, and it is more than enough to patrol the galaxy below.
Don't underestimate Zhao Chen's current 35 interstellar warships. The maintenance costs may far exceed the hundreds of interstellar warships owned by other interstellar forces!
But so what?
This is the ancestor that Zhao Chen created himself, and he will keep it.
And it will only grow more and more in the future.
Secretary Lilith continued: "Originally, we had 7.8 billion star coins on our books.
After deducting the 5 billion star coins for raw materials ordered from the Bloody Mary Mercenary Group and the subsequent commission of 1.5 billion, there is still 1.3 billion star coins left.
With this amount of funds, we have already paid the final payment to the Bloody Mary Mercenary Group. The Bloody Mary Mercenary Group will deliver the last batch of raw material goods before the end of the month, and then we will pay them a commission of 1.5 billion.
.
Your income from this war in the Reef Star Territory is one billion star coins, but it is converted into raw materials with a market value of 800 million star coins, so we actually have about 2 billion star coins on our books."
After listening to the financial information reported by Secretary Lilith, Zhao Chen had an idea in his mind.
"Annie, have you made a plan for the next construction?" Zhao Chen looked at Anne.
"This is the construction plan I made based on the needs you put forward to me.
August: Ten T2 Hammer-class heavy-duty interstellar industrial ships continue to construct star gates in the Lion Galaxy. As expected, they will be completed by the end of August.
At the same time, we will build ten more T2 Hammer-class heavy interstellar industrial ships for the remaining ten T2 Hammer-class heavy interstellar industrial ships. According to your requirements, these may be the last batch of T2 Hammers we build.
As a result, we have thirty T2 Hammers in active service.
September: The production capacity freed up from building star gates and producing T2 hammers can be completely released.
This month we will build and roll off ten T3 Digger class heavy interstellar mining ships, fifty T2 Black Rhino class interstellar heavy assault frigates, five T2 Snowmastiff class heavy interstellar battleships, and one T3 Snowstorm class light interstellar ship.
A battlecruiser and a T3 Phantom Thorn-class light interstellar stealth bomber.
The starship construction plan in these two months will consume raw material resources worth 160 million star coins."
Listening to Annie talking about this, the blueprints of these construction plans automatically appeared in Zhao Chen's mind.
The T3 Digger-class heavy interstellar mining ship was a reward from Zhao Chen’s previous quarterly mission. It just so happened that this time there was an asteroid belt with high-quality resources.
Ten T3 Digger-class heavy interstellar mining ships were built to mine resource ores.
Although the value generated is not as much as what Zhao Chen would get from fighting wars and selling interstellar battleships.
But these are the foundation and foundation of Xiaolong Galaxy!
Simply relying on selling interstellar battleships and fighting wars is to obtain resource wealth from the outside, and it must have its own ability to make blood.
Zhao Chen understood the truth that eggs cannot be put in one basket when he was a child.
"Just do as you say." Zhao Chen said with satisfaction.
"Commander, that asteroid belt also needs to be named." Secretary Lilith asked about this matter.
Zhao Chen thought for a moment and said casually: "Then just call it Xiaolong Resource Star Zone."
"yes."
Among the construction plans, the largest number is the T2 Black Rhino class interstellar heavily armed assault frigate, with a total of fifty ships!
The reason why so many T2 Black Rhinos are built is mainly to be able to undertake the task of protecting the Xiaolong Galaxy and the Lion Galaxy in the future.
When the time comes, interstellar fleets will be needed to protect the satellite gates and resource sectors.
Now it can be used as a supplement to combat power in Zhao Chen's fleet until the T2 interstellar battleships are gradually phased out in the future.
This T2 star battleship, which is extremely cost-effective, can naturally take a back seat.
After finalizing these matters, Zhao Chen sent Annie away and sat on the captain's chair minding his own business, pretending to be asleep, and opened the system interface.

Zhao Chen looked at his current system points and frowned slightly.
Too little.
One of the requirements for his quarterly mission is to redeem a T3 starship technology. The mission points are enough, but the system points are far behind.
Although relying on the current fleet size, it can generate more than 300 passive income per month.
But this is far from enough.
In the past, most of the system points were used to redeem T3 Huiyue-class star gate technology, which resulted in the current shortage of system points.
He can only hope that in the next two months, there will be more tasks for him to earn points, otherwise he will have to miss this quarter's tasks.
Time flies and it’s early August.
Strangely enough, the Bloody Mary Mercenary Group was originally scheduled to deliver the last batch of raw materials at the end of July, but the Bloody Mary Mercenary Group has not yet appeared.
Although under normal circumstances, a delay of two or three days is normal.
But for some reason, Zhao Chen always felt that something was wrong.
"Commander, our first batch of trained recruits is about to graduate from the T3 Goddess Academy class starship.
The dean would like to invite you to host the graduation ceremony." Secretary Lilith contacted Zhao Chen at this time and mentioned something.
T3 Goddess Academy class starship?
Speaking of which, I haven't even visited the starship since it came off the assembly line.
"I understand, let's arrange a time." He agreed to the itinerary.
