"But we need to invest at least five hundred T3 Digger-class heavy interstellar mining ships. Just building these T3 Digger-class heavy interstellar mining ships will require five billion star coins. This does not include the cost of producing these interstellar mining ships.
The time it takes.
After all, the current production tasks of our star battleships are already quite heavy, and some production tasks have even been scheduled for a year later.
In addition, there is also the construction of corresponding supporting facilities, which are not technically difficult and only require an investment of 10 billion star coins." Lilith introduced the investment cost to Zhao Chen.
To be honest, this investment is a sure profit, and Zhao Chen can't wait to produce all the needed T3 Digger-class heavy-duty interstellar mining ships immediately. www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm
All for me to mine!
But the problem is that the production capacity of the interstellar industrial ships currently in Zhao Chen's hands is seriously insufficient. Just like Lilith said, the production tasks of the interstellar battleships have been scheduled for a year.
Zhao Chen frowned slightly, building the Morton Galaxy was important, but there was currently a more important construction task.
And from the current point of view, Zhao Chen has no shortage of resources. After all, he has a windfall provided by the rich man called the little princess.
Therefore, the construction of the Morton Galaxy can be slowed down for the time being.
"In this way, the arrangement of the T3 Digger-class heavy interstellar mining ship has been postponed for now, and it is expected to be arranged within the next six months to one year.
However, some other industrial facilities can already be arranged, and the funds are gradually being arranged." Zhao Chen ordered.
"Okay." Lilith took note of the commander's words, and then whispered: "Well... Commander, I have to go do something. Can you let me go first?"
Only then did Zhao Chen realize that he was holding Lilith's shoulders in excitement just now.
"Sorry, I forgot." Zhao Chen let go of his hand.
Lilith said goodbye and left the office with a slightly blushing face.
Zhao Chen continued his work while thinking about how he could complete his tasks for that quarter without anyone noticing.
…
A month has passed in the blink of an eye.
The Morton Galaxy and the Ellis Galaxy received an injection of funds, and the Xu family was originally responsible for management and had their own original system. They quickly returned to their original order, leaving only some follow-up reconstruction work.
In addition, Li Yaqi of Beiyan Starship Technology Group delivered all the T2 Tibetan Mastiff-class medium-sized star destroyers from the Empire's military purchase order ahead of schedule in early October, and the balance of the military purchase order of nearly 40 billion star coins was fully received.
At the same time, Li Yaqi began to carry out the tasks assigned by Zhao Chen and comprehensively expand the production of T2 Hammer-class heavy interstellar industrial ships. It is expected that the expansion will be completed by mid-December at the earliest to 3,000 T2 Hammer-class heavy interstellar industrial ships.
When Li Yaqi received this instruction from Zhao Chen, she was surprised.
Expanding such a large interstellar industrial ship at one time requires a lot of pressure.
Some equipment modules of the interstellar industrial ship are very special. Once they start running, it is difficult to stop them. If they stop and start again, the cost will be very high.
Therefore, generally interstellar industrial ships will continue to operate and continue to engage in production and construction tasks.
But if there is no starship construction mission, then these interstellar industrial ships can only stop production.
Li Yaqi couldn't believe that it was necessary to meet the production task of three thousand T2 Hammer-class heavy-duty interstellar industrial ships.
However, Commander Zhao Chen has promised that corresponding production tasks will be arranged in the future.
She only needs to expand the interstellar industrial ship.
At present, the real controller of Beiyan Starship Technology Group is Zhao Chen, and Li Yaqi only works for him, so she can only complete this task honestly.
…
Until early November, a small episode occurred in the Reef Star Territory.
When the incident occurred, Charlotte was dining with Zhao Chen in the starship restaurant on the T4 Suzaku-class medium-sized star cruiser.
Charlotte looked at the new dish that was served in front of her and asked in surprise: "Isn't this called squirrel mandarin fish? Why is there no squirrel?"
Zhao Chen, who was sitting opposite, almost spit out the drink in his mouth.
He smiled and said: "Your question is like asking your wife if there is no wife in the cake?"
"So, why are there no squirrels?" Charlotte blinked and looked at Zhao Chen.
Come on, she didn't understand the ridicule in Zhao Chen's words.
"The squirrel in front of the squirrel mandarin fish is just a metaphor. When the fried mandarin fish is served and immediately poured with steaming marinade, it starts to squeak, hence the name because it resembles a squirrel.
" Zhao Chen explained in detail.
"It turns out there are no squirrels." Charlotte seemed a little disappointed.
Zhao Chen couldn't help but ask: "Do you still like to eat mice?"
"In the past, when I was in the rebel army, there was a kind of rat that was more convenient to breed. It was one of the few natural ingredients that we could eat besides nutritious meals.
However, the taste is still not as good as fish. It can only be ranked second!" Charlotte explained.
Like to eat fish and mice?
Zhao Chen looked at Charlotte suspiciously. Is this guy really a member of the white tiger clan? Not a big white cat?
At this moment, an emergency contact reminder window appeared in front of Charlotte.
This made Charlotte very disappointed. She hated it when others disturbed her while she was eating fish.
But seeing that it was an emergency contact, she still glanced at the squirrel-less mandarin fish on the table with nostalgia, and agreed to the video contact first.
Charlotte did not avoid Zhao Chen, so Zhao Chen could also see the video window that appeared in front of Charlotte. Opposite was actually Medusa in the Reef Star Territory.
"General Charlotte, I would like to ask you, do you have twin sisters?" Medusa asked a very strange question as soon as she came up.
"Why do you suddenly ask this?" Charlotte's eyes changed.
When Medusa saw Zhao Chen in the video, she explained the reason for her sudden contact.
Just now, an interstellar fleet suddenly broke into a galaxy in the Reef Star Territory and was intercepted by Medusa's interstellar fleet. Just when the battle between the two sides was about to break out.
Queen Medusa suddenly stopped the battle because she saw a 'familiar' figure during video contact with this star fleet.
White hair, fierce eyes, and tiger teeth exposed at the corners of his mouth.
That's so similar!
It is almost carved from the same mold as General Charlotte of the Xiaolong Legion!
Therefore, Queen Medusa urgently called off the battle, contacted the Xiaolong Legion at the same time, and contacted General Charlotte by name.
"It's Midel! It must be her!" Charlotte stood up suddenly, with a look of surprise on her face.
Rice bag?
Zhao Chen was stunned, what a strange name this was.
Zhao Chen looked at Charlotte questioningly.
Charlotte controlled her somewhat joyful emotions and explained: "If Medusa's description is correct, this person should be my half-sister, who looks very similar to me, and her name is Midel!"
After speaking, Charlotte looked at Zhao Chen pleadingly.
"In this case, let's just drive the T4 Suzaku and take a look." Zhao Chen could see Charlotte's thoughts. He also wanted to see this fleet that suddenly appeared.
