Nearly two hours later, Lorenzo returned to Qin Hao's face.

"Report to sir, Gerald agrees to help us complete the modification for thirty million!" Lorenzo said to Qin Hao.

"What about the price?" Qin Hao looked at Han Yihang.

"It's a little higher than the market price, but it's not too much." Han Yihang had obviously checked the relevant information before this, so when Qin Hao asked, he could answer immediately.

"Alright then, so be it." Qin Hao nodded.

Then the fleet, under Qin Hao's order, began to approach Gerald's maintenance factory, although Qin Hao needed to modify three ships, but the flagship Keha Light alone had to occupy three berths, while Gerald's maintenance factory only had four berths, so the destroyer had to wait outside for the time being.

When the Moam-class light cruiser Keha Light sailed into the berth of the maintenance factory, the modification work began, because Qin Hao did not understand these technical problems, so he simply sent Han Yihang to take someone to the scene as a supervisor, so as not to secretly transfer the equipment he bought at a high price.

When the Keha Light was refitted, a Prowler-class frigate selected by Qin Hao also sailed into the remaining berth, and then began to accept the refit.

Unlike the Keha Light, which will undergo a full refit, the remaining Prowler-class frigates and ocean-class destroyers will only be modified with weapons and radar systems, and as for the shield and energy systems, these two ships will not need to be refitted.

Because in the design of Han Yihang, these two spaceships are mainly used as fire output points, they will be protected behind the fleet, and generally will not meet the frontal artillery fire, so under the condition of limited funds, their protection capabilities can only be sacrificed.

When the ship began to be transformed, Qin Hao also learned from Han Yihang's example, and played battle deduction on the sand table all day long, although as a beginner, he only had to watch, but from the deduction of those combat staff officers, Qin Hao really learned a lot of things.

When he entered the adult body before, the drawbacks of the Zerg gene in Qin Hao's body were also activated, and he also lost the ability to forget, and his brain capacity became limited, of course, to a certain extent, he also obtained the superpower of forgetting.

Therefore, when watching these operational staff officers, Qin Hao was like a humanoid camera, he recorded the process of each battle in his mind, and when the staff officers rested, he would also check some battle records in human history, hoping to learn some experience from them.

Three days had passed in a flash, and the conversion of the Keha Light had been more complicated than expected, so the time had increased by almost half, and by the time it had finished refitting, the frigate that was also being refitted had already completed its sea trials outside.

By the time the Keha Light sailed out of the repair shop, the long-awaited ocean-going destroyer could finally be refitted.

"Sir, Gerald has sent a request for communication." Here, Qin Hao was about to go to participate in the trial voyage of the Keha Light together, but Lorenzo suddenly ran over and said.

"What's wrong? Did something go wrong? Qin Hao asked.

"There's no problem, isn't the renovation of this Keha Light overtime, this guy must be here to ask for money." Lorenzo said.

"Alright, I know, let's take it in." Qin Hao nodded.

Soon, Gerald's avatar appeared on the big screen in front of Qin Hao.

"I said, sir, let's not play like this, you said before, that cruiser only needs fifty hours to complete the refit, but now it actually occupies more than seventy hours in my berth, which is too late, right?" Gerald grumbled discontentedly.

"Well, the modification of the light of Keha is indeed a bit overdue." Qin Hao did not deny this.

"Then you took up fifty percent more time, is this price ......" Gerald revealed his merchant nature, in the Earth Federation, although the status of soldiers is noble, but the merchants don't care about you, they won't agree without them.

"There is a reason for this overdue, your workers are not skilled enough, and they always make mistakes when operating large instruments, so it has caused this super situation!" Gerald wanted to ask for more money, but Qin Hao couldn't let go easily, after all, it wasn't military spending money, but his personal pocket.

"Sir, you're going too far, the skills of my workers here are among the best in the entire Keha system!" Of course, Gerald knew that Qin Hao was shirking responsibility.

"Then how did they delay the modification of fifty man-hours to more than seventy man-hours, and I haven't asked you to hold you accountable for delaying the fighter!" Qin Hao also played an official tone in order to save money.

"Sir, when you estimate the man-hours, you calculate them based on the equipment of the naval base, right? We are a small civilian factory, we can be at this speed is already very remarkable, how can it be compared to the equipment in the military base? Gerald said disapprovingly.

"Okay, although we are both responsible for this matter, I can't let you suffer, you name it." Qin Hao first gave this matter a given, both parties are responsible, and he can't pay for it alone, so his meaning is obvious, that is, to tell Gerald to take it easy when making an offer.

"Well, I don't want you more, 40 million, I'll help you complete the rest of the destroyers, what do you think?" Gerald gritted his teeth and said, in fact, he wanted to restore the offer of 50 million at the beginning, but looking at Qin Hao's meaning, he knew that people were unwilling to give so much, although the essence of a businessman was to pursue profits, but in the face of the people in the military, he still had to give a little face, and he had already made a lot of money at the asking price of 40 million.

"Good! Deal! Qin Hao nodded, he didn't plan to bargain anymore.

After negotiating the price with Gerald, Qin Hao cut off the communication, and then took a dinghy to the flagship Keha Light.

"Sir, are you ready to set sail?" The captain of the Keha Light asked.

"Hmm!" Qin Hao nodded, and then the main engine of the Keha Light started, and then headed towards the vast starry sky, after completing the modification, the battleship needed a period of time to test the stability of the new equipment.

After another day or so, the last destroyer was also refitted, and after Qin Hao made the payment, the battleship also joined Qin Hao's fleet, and then began sea trials in the Keha system.
