Chapter 351: American Ambitions

On October 1, Zhang Wei got the system score: the remaining points are 10.35 million, and the land score is .

The land score of 990 indicates that the system recognizes that the land area occupied for more than one month is 990 square kilometers, which is one step away from upgrading to the county level. The www.biquge.info population score is also due to the increase in the number of synths, and the number of colonized natives has also increased a lot. At present, the most common way to get points is to exchange gold for silver, but it won't last long, and in the end, it depends on land and population to get points, which is long-lasting.

At 11 o'clock on October 4th, Xiao Yuer prompted: "Master, now that the system has reached the upgrade standard, should it be upgraded immediately?" ”

With his previous experience, Zhang Wei vetoed the immediate upgrade and asked Xiao Yu'er to wait for the notice.

Zhang Wei hurriedly went to the basement and bought 4 tons of gold from the system and put it in the basement, which could not affect James's exchange work, and exchanged all the silver in the basement to the system, which was much safer. He summoned Han Xin again and told him: "Staff Officer Han, now that the system is about to be upgraded, you go and arrange the defense work, especially the 4 tons of gold stored in the basement, you must guard it, and the other personnel should strengthen their vigilance and be ready to fight at any time." ”

"Young master, I've been upgraded several times, there's no need to be so nervous."

"Be prepared, go ahead and execute."

"Yes, young master"

After Han Xin left, Zhang Wei immediately ordered Xiao Yu'er: "Xiao Yu'er, start upgrading." ”

"Yes, young master, now the system is starting to upgrade."

After the system began to be upgraded, Zhang Wei didn't go anywhere, and even had people send them to his room to eat. Although it has undergone 2 upgrades, but each system upgrade is particularly exciting, which item will be unlocked by this system upgrade? I'm really looking forward to it.

James and the others also knew Zhang Wei's mood at this time, and they didn't want to disturb him, so they were busy with their own affairs.

And Zhang Wei can only wait in torment, why does time pass so slowly? Why has it been stagnant?

At noon on October 5th, Xiao Yu'er's prompt arrived on time: "Young master, the system has been upgraded, please check." ”

Zhang Wei suppressed his excitement and said, "I won't watch it, so you should introduce it to me." “

Xiao Yu'er said: "Yes, young master, now the system has been upgraded to the county level, and the main changes are: the system warehouse capacity is larger, reaching 512,000 cubic meters; Your perceptual range is wider, with a radius of 270 meters; The system unlocks the number of years you can purchase materials to 30 years longer than reality; The time required for system synthesis is reduced to 30 seconds; This time, the system unlocks the project for the Navy. “

Zhang Wei jumped up happily directly, if he didn't unlock the navy, he would be driven crazy, and all his hopes were pressed on the navy. Zhang Wei is also very happy about the changes in other projects, but it is not so exciting to unlock the naval project, as long as the navy is built, he is not afraid of the Dutch, he used to be worried about the Dutch warships, but now he can buy warships and synthesize naval soldiers, and he will have confidence.

Hurry up and open the price list of warships, and the first thing that shows the price of each ship type is displayed:

Battleships, aircraft carriers: 50 points/ton

Battlecruisers, submarines: 45 points/ton

Light cruisers, landing ships: 40 points/ton

Destroyers, frigates: 35 points/ton

Torpedo boats, gunboats, minelayers, minesweepers: 30 points/ton

Troop carriers, supply ships, passenger ships: 20 points/ton

Merchant ships, fishing vessels: 10 points/ton

Note: Tonnage is calculated based on the base displacement.

Zhang Wei exclaimed: "Xiao Yu'er, why is the price so high?" Can I afford it? “

"Young master, this price is not high, just the cost price and R&D expenses plus a reasonable profit. You must know that battleships and aircraft carriers represent the pinnacle of scientific and technological prowess at the moment. “

"A 100,000-ton aircraft carrier costs 50 million grams of gold, and it's not expensive?"

"According to your words in your previous life, each gram of gold is calculated at 300 yuan, which is only 15 billion yuan, can the country in your previous life build a 100,000-ton aircraft carrier with 15 billion yuan?"

Zhang Wei imagined that a 100,000-ton aircraft carrier would not be able to buy even 15 billion US dollars, so he would be relieved, or how to say that arms is a high-profit industry. "It's really not expensive if you compare it like that."

"Young master, don't forget, you can still get a 20% discount on every 10-year-old warship, so you are taking advantage of it, and it is all sold to you at the price of cabbage, so you can steal the fun."

That's right, I don't have to buy the latest style, as long as it can be more advanced than other countries, it's appropriate to be able to win against the opponent, and I have to slowly expose the new weapons, so that I can sell them for money. In this case, it is indeed much cheaper, so you can rest assured, at least you can buy it after the discount.

Click on the Navy Synthesis option again, which is divided into Navy Officers and Navy Soldiers and Marines, and the officers show their ranks, no longer positions, but they are all 10% more expensive than the Army of the corresponding positions; The Marine Corps is shown only at the division level, which is 10% more expensive than the Army; Soldiers have two options, senior private and non-commissioned officer, and the price is also 10% more expensive than that of army soldiers, and the names of each job position displayed below are displayed below, and there are dozens of options such as machine gunner, gunner, mechanic, maintenance, observation, communication, engine, management loss, logistics, etc., and there is no interest, so it is closed.

Opening the list of warships, I felt that the price of battleships was too high, and there was no need to buy battleships now, so I continued to click on battlecruisers.

There was really no interest in the pre-1905 period, so I opened the product of the year period. The main ones shown are the battlecruisers produced or designed by Britain, France, the United States, Germany and other countries at this stage. This is also the case when you click on a destroyer, you really don't understand the warship, so you can only leave this matter to the professionals.

So he checked the list of naval officers to synthesize, and decided to synthesize a naval special staff officer for 880 points first, and a rear admiral officer spent 2816 points, and ordered Xiao Yuer to synthesize immediately.

"Yes, young master," Xiao Yu'er replied.

Two minutes later, Xiao Yu'er's voice came: "Young Master, Yang Yili, a special staff officer of the Navy, and Li Yunhai, a rear admiral officer, have been synthesized. ”

Zhang Wei released the two of them out of the system, and the two of them said at the same time: "Young master is good." ”

"You 2 don't want to be restrained, the navy has not yet started construction, and you are invited here mainly to discuss the construction of the navy."

"Please command, young master."

"I don't know anything about the navy, you have to be responsible for the selection of naval warships, the allocation of naval personnel, and the selection and construction of military ports, etc., Yang Yili is the chief of the general staff of the Lanfang fleet, Li Yunhai is the commander of the Lanfang Navy, the task of our navy is to defeat the Dutch navy, and soon the Ministry of Intelligence will send the navy's warship configuration; For warships, my opinion is to choose between the years, not to choose battleships at the moment, that would be too shocking, just choose battlecruisers, preferably around 1910, if the caliber of the main gun is M, don't choose too large a caliber first. ”

"Yes, young master"

"You go back to the system first, I will let Xiao Yu'er cooperate with you in the selection, she has the models and parameters of all the warships, and the other is to see where to build a military port is appropriate, and send the army to occupy a military port if there is a chance."

"Yes, young master"

Then take them back into the system and let them get to work.
