"Okay, let's get down to business." Zhao Chen brought back the topic: "I have formulated a demand plan for the construction of interstellar battleships in the next year. You two can take a look.
This is just an outline, and there may be modifications or additions every quarter in the future.”
Two electronic files were sent to Anne and Nana.
This outline is divided into several series.
There are expansion plans for interstellar industrial ships, as well as some technologies for auxiliary interstellar battleship expansion.
The remaining large part is the expansion goal of Xiaolong Legion in the next year.
But at the end, there is a plan with the least words, but the most shocking impact.
[Full T4 series of star battleships and star fleet construction plan]
As the name suggests, this is to build a star fleet of all T4-level star battleships!
Lilith was shocked by this item before.
And in this construction plan, there were too many names of ship types that she had never seen before.
In addition, among the auxiliary ship types, there are also a series of ship types that she has never seen before.
T4 Regal…T4 Luna…
There is also a ‘Creator starship’ with no grade marked on it.
Zhao Chen looked at the two chief engineers in front of him, and their expressions were completely opposite.
Anne's face was pale, her legs seemed to be shaking, and she kept swallowing saliva, as if she was about to faint at any time.
Nana's cheeks were slightly red, her breathing was slightly short, and her eyes were glowing!
"Sir Commander, your construction plan is too difficult!"
"Sir Commander, your construction plan is so awesome!"
Annie and Nana spoke at the same time, and Zhao Chen knew who said that without even looking.
Zhao Chen looked at Annie and squinted: "Do you think the construction plans I made can't be completed?"
Annie nodded repeatedly and said with a frown on her face: "You also read my proposal before, this... this is too much beyond the standard."
"You still have the nerve to mention to me the proposal you wrote. I don't mind exposing you." Zhao Chen gave Annie a look that said I could see right through you.
Anne knew she couldn't pretend, so she could only change her mind, pointed at the information and said: "But your request is really too high.
There are also all kinds of interstellar battleship technologies that I have never heard of, which will soon be mass-produced...this...this difficulty..."
"You're talking as if the star battleship data I gave you before were not produced as soon as they came up.
When has there ever been a problem?" Zhao Chen asked rhetorically.
Annie was stunned and scratched her head.
It seems that this is indeed the case. Every time the commander takes out the data, there is basically no problem. Even if Annie wants to find faults in it, she finds that her efforts are in vain.
"Funds! Yes, funds are a big problem! Your construction plan requires too much funds!" Anne said suddenly, she captured the key issue.
It’s hard to make a meal without rice. If there is not enough funds and raw materials supply, the Xiaolong Legion’s construction plan for this year will not be implemented.
This time, Zhao Chen did not refute immediately.
Instead, he looked at Lilith beside him.
Lilith was doing statistical work just now. She brought up four large screens, each of which showed the expansion and construction plans of four types of star battleships.
“The first is the annual expansion plan for the interstellar industrial ship for the new year.
According to the commander's request, our interstellar industrial ship needs to be further expanded.
The T2 Hammer-class heavy interstellar industrial ship does not need to be expanded.
The T3 furnace-class heavy interstellar industrial ships need to be expanded from the current 500 ships to 3,000 ships.
The T4 twin-star heavy interstellar industrial ships need to be expanded from the current three to one hundred.
For these alone, the construction cost would be 700 billion star coins."
Zhao Chen's expression was indifferent, waiting for Lilith's next calculation data.
The investment in building an interstellar industrial ship is so huge, which Zhao Chen had already considered when formulating the outline of the plan.
But interstellar industrial ships are the foundation of civilization!
Building so many T4 Geminis is also to build two T5 level star battleships as soon as possible.
This kind of investment is worth it no matter how large the amount is!
"As for the auxiliary interstellar battleships, the T3 Digger-class heavy interstellar mining ships will continue to expand as planned, from the current 10,000 ships to 20,000 ships.
At the same time, three hundred T4 Regal-class heavy interstellar mining ships will be built.
The T3 Beluga-class heavy interstellar transport ships will be expanded from the current 300 to 3,000.
Three hundred T4 whale-class heavy interstellar transport ships will be built.
The T3 Silver Eden class starships will be expanded from the current three hundred to one thousand.
The construction plan for this area is expected to require an investment of 500 billion star coins."
Nana on the side began to frown. She very much hoped that this series of construction plans would be implemented, but if the raw materials were not supplied, then all this would be just empty talk.
On the two electronic screens beneath him were two expansion plans for the Xiaolong Legion.
One of them is [Full T4 Series Star Battleship Starfleet Construction Plan]
A line of estimated construction costs is marked below: 500 billion star coins.
You know, Zhao Chen's construction plan is only for a small fleet of 300 ships. If it is built according to the establishment of a legion fleet of 3,000 ships, you can imagine how much financial resources it will cost!
The other is the overall expansion plan of the Xiaolong Legion, which will expand from the current more than 7,000 interstellar warships to 30,000 interstellar warships.
In other words, we need to build ten full legion fleets!
According to Zhao Chen's standards, the construction cost of a fully-equipped legion fleet would require 200 billion star coins.
The current gap requires about eight legion fleets, which is 1.6 trillion star coins.
"Just for these four construction plans calculated by Sister Lilith, the investment in this area next year will require 3.3 trillion star coins!
And this does not include our personnel expenses, battleship maintenance, and construction costs of star ports, star gates, etc.
If there is another sudden war, the expenses will be..." Annie looked at Zhao Chen, the look in her eyes was very obvious.
Boss, you don’t have enough money.
You can weigh it yourself.
"You can calculate this very quickly, right?" Zhao Chenxu looked at Annie.
Annie looked to the side guiltily.
"Thirty-three hundred billion, including other expenses and war reserves.
Next year, we need at least 5 trillion in revenue to barely be able to maintain the normal operation of our Xiaolong Legion.
Really, Lilith." Zhao Chen looked at Lilith.
Five trillion...what is this concept?
According to the information Zhao Chen received, the annual income of the Star Empire in the past few years was only 20 trillion star coins!
"Five trillion is the red line. Below five trillion, our financial system may collapse." Lilith said.
"Lilith, can we sustain our finances?" Zhao Chen looked at his housekeeper.
The housekeeper raised her hand and opened the map of the current Xiaolong Galaxy and several other star regions.
"Assume that our homeland is not attacked, and the development of the five resource star fields goes smoothly, as well as the external arms trade of the Eden Grain Trading Group and the Beiyan Group.
Next year's annual income will be at least over seven trillion." Lilith emphasized these two words.
Zhao Chen understands the meaning of this. If everything goes well, seven trillion will start!
In this way, not only can Zhao Chen's above-mentioned construction plans be carried out smoothly, but some additional production plans can also be added.
"It's over..." Annie stood there, unconscious.
She seemed to have already seen the little baby Anne who was working in the office as if she was lost next year.
Annie: Woohoo, Annie wants to resign o(╥﹏╥)o
"Annie, do you want to build some habitable planets for your dwarves?"
