[Expensive?] How expensive is it? Yang Hong asked.

Li Jing explained: [Of course, Commander, the price of a conventional-class warship also needs at least 500,000 yuan, and this does not include firepower and ammunition. ]

[500,000 yuan crystals, which is indeed very expensive, as well as maintenance costs and firepower and ammunition costs, so that a battleship needs at least one million yuan crystals.] ]

[Yes, Commander, with our current economic situation, it is difficult to purchase such a warship.] ]

[Don't we allocate our annual military spending upwards?] ]

[Commander, this matter is very complicated, after I took over, I found that the military expenses of the Xuanjia Army had already been overdrawn for several epochs, and it would take at least tens of thousands of years to receive it again. ]

[Ah, is that so?] ]

[Yes, that's how the General Staff explained, they said that the previous Xuanjia Army had overdrawn too much military spending, so most of the military spending that had been spent all the time had been deducted. ]

[So that's the case, so do we have any other income from the Xuanjia Army?] Yang Hong asked.

[Commander, yes, the eastern region where the Xuanjia Army is located is under our jurisdiction, and every tax and resource here belongs to our Xuanjia Army. Li Jing said.

[Is that so?] So did the forces in these cities of Shentian City pay us taxes? Yang Hong asked.

[Commander, it seems that these forces have been paying taxes before, but since the decline of the Xuanjia Army, these forces have stopped paying taxes, and the Xuanjia Army is no longer able to collect taxes.] Li Jing explained.

[It seems that I want to change this situation when I have time, and if this continues, it seems that the financial resources of our Xuanjia Army will become less and less.] Yang Hong replied.

[Commander.] I have to say that the power of these forces is not weak. And there is not only one such force, but many families. Once one of them is moved, all the forces will rise up together. Hearing that Yang Hong wanted to move these forces, Li Jing hurriedly reminded.

At this moment, I saw Yang Shi suddenly reply: [Commander, now that the enemy has launched an attack, we have launched a counterattack. ]

[How's it going?] Yang Hong asked.

[Commander, now we have a protective shield on our side, so we can resist for a while, but our attack is too limited.] If you don't think about it, then you may be blown through the defensive shield by the firepower of the opponent's battleship. Once the defenses are broken, we will all be in danger. Yang Shi reported.

[What level is our Brontosaurus?] Yang Hong asked.

[Commander, the Thunder Dragon is a Tempest-class battleship, but this one is too old and has suffered heavy damage.] Yang Shi reported.

[Storm-class battleship!!] It's still an old brand, no wonder it's so unreliable, it seems that the purchase of warships has to be put on the agenda. Yang Hong sighed.

[Commander, think again.] Li Jing persuaded. Since taking charge of finance, he found that the consumption of the Xuanjia Army was too great, and he needed hundreds of thousands of yuan crystals every day.

[Well, that's it.] Don't persuade me anymore, I've talked about money, and I'll figure it out. Yang Hong replied. After speaking, he ordered directly to Yang Shi.

[Quick, all set to manual operation mode!] Yang Hong made a quick decision. An order was given to Yang Shi.

After the entire combat system was transferred to the manual operation mode, Yang Hong came directly to the main control platform of the general command room. His hands flew like he pressed each button, constantly issuing instructions to each combat unit.

Although Yang Shi, Li Jing, and the lieutenant officer had been in the army for many years and were no strangers to warships, they were not good at controlling warships, and they had always relied on the automatic control function of warships. Seeing Yang Hong's skillful operation, the three of them couldn't help but show surprise.

Yang Shi muttered: [Commander, I didn't expect you to even be able to drive a battleship, but isn't it better to control it automatically?] He didn't understand that.

Yang Hong said while operating the Thunder Dragon: [I also paid attention to it after taking over the Xuanjia Army, I am not familiar with it, and I can barely operate it. ]

[Ah, Commander, you're still barely operating, it's already a first-class operation.] Li Jing said.

[Commander, I've seen first-class battleship operators with my own eyes, and they are not as familiar as you.] Yang Shi echoed.

[haha...... Let's not talk about this, but I'll explain to you the difference between automatic control and manual control. Although automatic control is convenient, some instructions are not as fast as manual control, and when automatic control, the main control system will avoid some abnormal commands, which is not possible at critical moments. Yang Hong explained.

Boom Boom!

Suddenly, there was a violent noise from outside the Brontosaurus.

[Commander, the enemy's fire is getting fiercer, what can we do?] Yang Shi asked.

[Don't worry, everyone, I've opened all the defensive covers, change the direction, and avoid the battleships of the Python Dragon Army, there should be no problem.] Yang Hong gave everyone a reassuring look, and then began to operate the battleship with his heart.

[Oh no, our energy consumption is too great.] Li Jing saw the energy gauge and said loudly.

After Li Jing said this, Yang Shi really found that in the energy display bar on the combat screen, a 54 percent sign appeared, so he reminded Yang Hongdao: [Commander, there is not much energy. ]

[Don't worry, I'll be fine.] Yang Hong replied.

[Really?] ]

[Of course, don't worry, I'll be fine.] ]

Under Yang Hong's skillful operation, the Thunder Dragon battleship began to operate at a high speed of energy consumption, and the energy reactor was running at an extremely high speed, and the energy generated in five seconds reached 80%. For safety, the reactor will automatically stop when the energy of the energy reactor reaches 80% at top speed. However, under Yang Hong's manual control, it soon reached 100% speed, so the speed of the huge Thunder Dragon battleship suddenly increased, and it flew down quickly to avoid the navigation trajectory of more than a dozen warships on the opposite side.

[Oh my God, the commander's manipulation is so powerful, he actually operates the battleship so skillfully, as if the battleship is a part of his body.] Yang Shi said, his mouth full of surprise.

[Yes, this level of operation should surpass the first-class manipulator, Commander, is it really a human being?] Li Jing sighed.

[What do you mean by this, Lord Lee?] The lieutenant officer asked.

[I think the commander is a god, full of magic.] Li Jing replied that he, like Yang Shi, felt that Yang Hong was very unusual, that is, a person who could create miracles. A person who can create miracles is naturally a god, and he is no longer an ordinary person.

The gods here are not gods, but people with magical abilities.

All nine layers of defense of the Thunder Dragon battleship have been opened, and all the accompanying firepower: twelve high-pressure space energy cannons have begun to accumulate energy. (To be continued......)
