Zhao Chen listened to Lilith giving him an annual report next to him, which was about the current development of the Xiaolong Legion and the various territories under the Xiaolong Legion.
"So far, we have more than 13,000 auxiliary interstellar battleships, which does not include the more than 10,000 T2 Hammer-class heavy interstellar industrial ships under Beiyan Group." Lilith first explained the auxiliary interstellar battleships.
Don't underestimate the auxiliary star battleship. The auxiliary star battleship is equivalent to the foundation of a building. This foundation determines how high the building can be built!
"Auxiliary star battleships are mainly divided into four categories: auxiliary star battleships under the four trading groups, and auxiliary star battleships followed by the Xiaolong Legion.
Dilong Mining Group, Beilong Mining Group, Rose Red Dragon Mining Group and Eden Grain Trading Group.
The first three mining groups have allocated more than 11,000 T3 Digger-class heavy-duty interstellar mining ships, and one batch was delivered at the end of this month.
So starting from the beginning of next year, the total monthly output value will reach 320 billion star coins!
The Eden Grain Trading Group has allocated 300 T3 Eden-class starships. In addition to meeting our own needs, most of this grain output is sold externally.
The current main customers are the North Wind Star Region and the Chuhe Star Region. In addition, we have also established some private sales channels to sell to other star regions in the Star Empire and the United Warhammer Star Region.
Excluding the bulk of transportation costs, our monthly income is around 30 billion star coins."
Zhao Chen looked at his financial pillars: "In other words, starting from the beginning of next year, our Xiaolong Legion's monthly income will be 350 billion star coins!"
Thirty-five billion!
When Zhao Chen said this number, his mouth trembled a little.
"Not only that, you forgot that we also have part of the proceeds from foreign military sales.
In the past few months, Beiyan Group has sold nearly 5,000 T2-level star battleships every month.
If it were not for the purpose of freeing up part of the production capacity to complete the construction plan of our Xiaolong Legion, it is estimated that more could be produced.
But even though it only sells 5,000 ships to foreign countries in a single month, its monthly revenue has reached 50 billion star coins.
This is if you explain in advance that the price of the star battleship sold to the Chuhe Legion is 50% off, otherwise the profit from this area can be doubled!" Lilith added.
"That's 400 billion!" Zhao Chen took a breath, he was almost frightened by his own ability to make money.
Two years ago, Zhao Chen had to work hard and plan carefully for millions of star coins.
Now in one month, you can make 400 billion.
“There is also a small amount of income, which is territorial tax.
But you have issued an order before, Xiaolong Galaxy, Morton Galaxy, Ellis Galaxy, Reef Star Field and five newly developed resource star fields.
All tax revenue from this territory is taken from the people and used for the people.ωωw..net
Used to invest in the construction of some important local infrastructure, such as star gates, star ports, etc.
And bear the salary expenses of the crew members stationed in these areas; the excess will be distributed to the private sector in the form of loans for commercial investment, infrastructure construction, etc." Lilith said.
This is what Zhao Chen himself explained.
Zhao Chen now pays great attention to the military industry, but Zhao Chen also knows that the people's livelihood in these territories of his is also very important. Anyway, it is the taxes collected by these places, and the amount is not very large.
Just use the money to develop these galaxies.
When the cake gets bigger in the future, Zhao Chen will get even more.
"Four hundred billion is already a lot; this is already four times the monthly income of the Chuhe Star Territory!
Even if we look at the entire Xingyao Empire, there is no other force that can make as much money as us!" Zhao Chen said with emotion.
"The other thing is our industrial system.
There are three T4 Gemini-class heavy-duty interstellar industrial ships currently in service, with a monthly production capacity of 15 T4 Suzaku-class medium-sized interstellar cruisers;
500 T3 Furnace-class heavy interstellar industrial ships can produce 7,000 T3 Wolverine-class heavy interstellar armored destroyers per month.
And Beiyan Group's more than 10,000 T2 Hammer-class heavy interstellar industrial ships can produce 50,000 T2-class interstellar destroyers per month!" Lilith said.
What is a military-industrial empire?
This is Zhao Chen's military-industrial empire.
In just a few months, the military-industrial empire expanded.
It is also a terrifying gold-swallowing behemoth.
"If we produce according to this situation, how much will it consume in a single month?" Zhao Chen asked.
Lilith quickly gave a number: "About 100 billion star coins; but this is only the minimum construction cost, and what I just mentioned is just an example.
After all, the starships you build are quite expensive."
"Cough cough cough..." Zhao Chen covered his face, Lilith was indeed right.
This number is calculated based on conventional combat fleets such as star destroyers and star cruisers, so it is impossible for Zhao Chen to really build all of them.
But it won’t go far beyond the standard.
At least it is still manageable when facing the monthly income threshold of 400 billion star coins.
"In addition, we also have an interstellar transport fleet, but currently we have not established a dedicated transport group, but rather distribute these to the various trade groups mentioned above.
At present, we have a total of three hundred T3 Beluga-class heavy interstellar transport ships; they can fully undertake the transportation tasks we need." Lilith said.
What Lilith talks about next is the situation of some other auxiliary star battleships.
For example, there was originally only one T3 Goddess Academy-class starship.
But due to the rapid expansion of the Xiaolong Legion, a single ship of the Goddess Academy can no longer meet the speed at which Zhao Chen needs new recruits.
So it has been expanded to thirty ships now!
Continuously supply qualified recruits to the Xiaolong Legion.
In addition, there are 100 T3 Andromeda-class interstellar medical ships and 300 T3 Virgo-class heavy-duty interstellar supply ships. These are battlefield auxiliary interstellar battleships that follow the main fleet.
"In addition, there are twenty T4 Huiguang-class interstellar jump ships in active service, divided into ten teams." Lilith specifically mentioned this strategic interstellar warship.
This is a trump card in Zhao Chen's hand, so the quantity must not be missing.
It was also because of the presence of this interstellar battleship that Zhao Chen dared to let his big white cat run into someone's backyard and set fire to it.
Zhao Chen talked with Lilith in detail about some auxiliary star battleships, and then motioned to Lilith to continue.
Next, what Lilith wants to talk about is naturally the battle-type interstellar battleship of the Xiaolong Legion!
"Currently, our Xiaolong Legion excludes those T2-class interstellar battleships that have been assigned to various local garrison fleets.
We currently have more than 7,000 T3-level star battleships and 81 T4-level star battleships."
