Soon, other ships under Qin Hao's command also arrived at the drop point of the container containers, and then a large number of tugboats were released, which were responsible for towing the container back to the hold of the battleship.

After more than an hour, all the containers were recovered.

"Sir, all the containers have been successfully recovered, will we return now?" Lorenzo asked.

"Hmmm! Let's go home. Qin Hao couldn't wait to say, he couldn't wait to arm his fleet.

"Sir, I advise you not to return to the Monsk Star Naval Base immediately." Han Yihang said at this time.

"Oh?" Qin Hao was stunned for a moment.

"According to federal law, all ships of the fleet need to be approved for all modifications except for normal maintenance, although at present the various bases are turning a blind eye to this matter, but after all, you have just come to the Keha system, just in case, I advise you to go to the civilian shipyard for refitting." Han Yihang said.

"Huh? Can civilian shipyards convert warships? Qin Hao asked in a daze, he didn't know anything about these things.

"Now our ship equipment is modular design, as long as there is equipment and manuals, the modification does not require specific technicians." Han Yihang said.

"It's really convenient." Qin Hao said with a smile.

In fact, the reason why the Federation modularized weapons and equipment is to facilitate maintenance and modification, because when the war comes, no shipyard is safe, in case the military shipyard is destroyed and the technicians inside are killed, won't the warships coming down from the battlefield be repaired?

When the era of astronautics opened, it was destined that there was no longer such a way of fighting as a blitzkrieg in the war mode, everyone was a great depth of planets or even star systems, and they were fighting a war of attrition, so the ability to repair and supply the battleship has become an important factor affecting the outcome of the war.

And this modular design can solve this problem, as long as it is paired with the manual, and the necessary large-scale equipment, then even ordinary engineers can complete this task, and there is no need for professional personnel at all.

"So I advise the fleet not to return to the Mengsk Star Naval Base, but to Dawei Star for refitting!" Han Yihang suggested that the Dawei Star he was talking about was also on the Kura Channel, where there were several large civilian ship repair factories.

"Okay! Then we'll go to Dawei. Qin Hao nodded, although he still had some cooperation with the Klein family, but the two sides had no friendship after all, and Qin Hao was not very relieved to go to the ground base they controlled for replenishment.

After receiving Qin Hao's order, the fleet that was originally preparing to return adjusted its course again, and then went straight to Dawei Star to start a short jump.

This kind of small-scale interstellar jump can only be completed with the help of the planet's gravity well, while long-distance interstellar jump requires the gravity well of the star as the target location, and the ultra-long-distance interstellar jump across the galaxy can only be completed through the wormhole created by the stargate.

Because they were all in the same star system, Qin Hao and the others didn't need to stay in the phase space for too long, and a few minutes later, the various spaceships of the Keha system fleet broke out of the phase space and came to the gravity well of Dawei Star.

After restarting the regular engines, the fleet headed for a civilian ship repair plant in the outer orbital space of Dawei.

"Sir, we've connected to the other party's communication channel!" At this time, Lorenzo came over to report.

"Hmm!" Qin Hao nodded, and then looked at the big screen.

"Sir, don't you know if there's anything I can do to help you?" A middle-aged man said with a smile on his face, although they are a civilian maintenance factory, if there is an emergency failure in the military fleet passing by, they have also helped to repair it, and this is a big deal, so this middle-aged man was extremely attentive after receiving Qin Hao's communication.

"I have a business to talk to you about." Qin Hao said.

"We'd love to serve you, sir!" The middle-aged man laughed.

"What's your name?" Qin Hao asked.

"My name is Gerald, you can call me Jairo." The middle-aged man replied.

"Okay Jairo, how big is your repair shop?" Qin Hao asked.

"If it's a frigate-level spaceship, I can repair four spaceships at the same time here!" After Gerald heard Qin Hao's words, he immediately became excited, because he knew that big business had come to his door.

"Hmm!" Qin Hao nodded, and then asked, "What about the price?" ”

"Our maintenance of warships is calculated according to man-hours, and each maintenance berth is 100,000 federal dollars per hour!" Gerald's offer is not low, because warships are repaired in civilian shipyards, and they generally have emergency breakdowns, and at this time, even if they are slaughtered, they can only compromise, and the maintenance costs are all from military expenses, and those who are officials are not distressed, so generally when encountering warships that need to be repaired, these maintenance factories do not mind slaughtering them.

"So expensive!?" Qin Hao was taken aback, he paid out of his own pocket, and every cent of these words was his money!

Although Qin Hao still has two or three hundred million cash on him at this time, don't forget, he has lived an ordinary life since he was a child, and he feels panicked when he hears this kind of consumption of hundreds of thousands of dollars an hour.

"Sir, this price is not expensive, you can go to another repair shop to inquire." Gerald said with a smile, he is now sure that the spaceship on Qin Hao's side must be in an emergency.

"Han Yihang, how long will it take for our ships to complete the refit?" Qin Hao turned around and asked.

"The flagship Keha Star requires a minimum of three berths to dock, and the refit takes the longest time, at least eighty hours!" Han Yihang said after a simple calculation.

"What?!" Qin Hao almost vomited blood after hearing this, the cost of refitting a flagship alone is about twenty-five million federal coins, and this is just the labor fee!

"If you count it all, it's at least 50 million federal coins." At this time, Han Yihang had already calculated the cost of modification.

"No! It's too expensive! Qin Hao shook his head after hearing this.

"But if you go to the naval base for modifications, they don't care about it, and if they seize the equipment you bought, the loss will not only be tens of millions...... Lorenzo reminded him.

"!" Qin Hao wanted to scold his mother after hearing this.

"You go and bargain with him, if it can be cheaper, I'll pretend to be him, if it doesn't work, I'll ask for another one!" Qin Hao said after taking a deep breath.

"Yes!" Lorenzo turned and went to talk to that Gerald.
