SW0215 What costs the most in the interstellar age?

Fan Fangsi lives in the era of planetary civilization, although he has read the original book of "Star Wars", but he has really entered the world of Star Wars, and Fan Fangsi still has a certain cognitive bias about the civilization of the interstellar era.

For example, the current situation is a common-sense cognitive bias, according to the cognition of the civilization of the planetary age, the material is not enough to transport it, is there any problem?

Fan Fangsi silently pondered whether to insist on building a production line of republican assault ships in Tatooine.

After all, according to Newt and Luhn, the cost price of a production line has reached two billion Republic credits, and the annual output is only two.

The key is that the trade alliance is still transporting materials at a loss, and Fan Fangsi has to think carefully.

Under such circumstances, is it really necessary and meaningful to insist on building a line of assault ships of the Republic?

Newt looked at Fan Fangsi in deep thought, and he continued, "The resources required to build a space battleship are very large, and ordinary planets can hardly afford it. Take Naboo, for example, they received technical support from the republic, they had the technology to create battleships, the technology of hyperspace drives, and the technology of deflection shields, but why didn't they make battleships on a large scale? ”

Lune continued, "There are too few metal minerals in Naboo, and the metal resources in the Naboo system are relatively small, according to our estimates, the resources of the entire Naboo system can be combined to build about 15 to 20 Republic assault ships." ”

The demand for resources by interstellar civilizations is unimaginable to planetary civilizations!

For example, the Death Star I in the Galactic Empire costs one trillion Imperial Credits, which is almost equivalent to one trillion Republic Credits.

But one thing must be understood!

The Death Star I, made in the era of the Galactic Empire, has a manufacturing cost of one trillion Imperial Credits alone, and all the resources it consumes are obtained by the Galactic Empire's compulsory order, which means that its material cost is negligible.

The diameter of the Death Star I is 120 kilometers, it is made entirely of metal materials, and according to what Fan Fangsi knows, the materials it consumes are almost the sum of the resources of a galaxy!

So Fan Fangsi didn't understand, such a powerful super battleship was easily killed because of the so-called design loopholes or design flaws?

That's absolutely hilarious!

"Mr. Fan, I must explain that it is very inappropriate to set up a warship production line far from the source of resources. In the cost of manufacturing warships, transportation costs account for a very large proportion. Newt reminded.

Lune followed the pace, "In the case of Kling, for example, there are 460 Mineral Resource Stars spread over a 100-light-year radius around it, and the average cost of arriving at Klinging is 12 Republic credits per ton of refined metal material. ”

Lune paused for a moment before continuing, "According to the Star Map data of our Trade Alliance, Tatooine's nearest mineral resource concentration star field is in the Newcore Star Sector, about 470 light-years away from Tatooine, and if a ton of refined metal materials is transported from Newcole to Tatooine, it will require at least 50 Republic credits or more in transportation costs. ”

Listening to Newt and Lune's explanations, Fan Fangsi vaguely integrated into the Star Wars world, an interstellar civilization that has entered the era of the river system, and the rules here are completely different from those of the planetary age civilization.

Of course, Van Fonth was also very aware of what Newt and Rune meant to dissuade him, and as he had said before, Van Fonth would be more dependent on the Trade Alliance.

"You have a point!" Fan Fangsi nodded slightly.

Newt and Rune both breathed a sigh of relief, and the two looked at each other vaguely, both of them smiling.

This universe has never been fair, and there is no such thing as fairness in terms of the degree of technological development of civilization, the amount of resources occupied, etc.

It is precisely because of this unfairness that trade unions have been able to thrive among millions of civilizations.

And now they have succeeded again?

They succeeded in blocking Van Fonsi's attempt to build a line of assault ships in the Republic, and thus began to clamp down on Van Fonsi's needs for further control of Tatooine in the future.

If Fan Fangsi is really the original inhabitant of the Star Wars world, then Fan Fangsi will definitely be pinned down by them, after all, Tatooine is not congenitally deficient.

But Fan is not a native of the Star Wars world!

Fan Fangsi has a spherical dimensional space with a diameter of 150 meters, and the exact total volume has reached 1,767,093 cubic meters, this dimensional space is fused with Fan Fangsi's soul, and the items inside the dimensional space do not count their weight and cannot affect the real world.

What if Fan Fangsi transports resources through this dimensional space?

With a space of 1.767 million cubic meters, if iron resources are transported, 13.9593 million tons of iron resources can be transported at one time based on the calculation of 7.9 tons per cubic meter.

What's more, they don't count their weight, and Fan Fangsi can be transported by himself in an ultra-small spaceship!

This is top-secret information that the two Nemodians cannot know.

And there is also a top-secret information, Fan Fangsi can continue to expand the dimensional space through the number of lives, the current diameter of the dimensional space is only 150 meters, what if the dimensional space is expanded to 300 meters?

'System, if I need to expand the dimensional space to a diameter of 300 meters, how many lives will it take?' Fan asked directly about the transcendence system.

The diameter of the dimensional space has been increased to 300 meters, which is 26 times higher than the volume of the original dimensional space, and the current dimensional space diameter of the host is 150 meters, with a total of 3,375 lives invested, and 23,625 lives still need to be invested. The Transcendence System gives detailed data information, which seems to be very reasonable.

Fan Fangsi glanced at the 10,744 life points he currently had, and he suddenly felt that the Ten Thousand Lives Household was no longer fragrant, he was simply a poor ghost, right?

'Sorry, excuse me, farewell! Fan Fangsi did not hesitate to come to a refusal three times.

"By the way, how many tons of supplies do you need to import for a Republic assault ship production line?" Fan Fangsi seemed to ask casually.

Newt secretly thought about what Fan Fangsi meant, and he responded cautiously, "Please wait, Mr. Fan, I'll ask about the situation through HoloNet right away." ”

In less than a minute, Newt responded, "According to estimates within our trade alliance, about 140 million tons of resources need to be imported in Tatooine's case." ”

Newt added, "This one answer is only a rough answer, but it won't be more than 10 percent wrong. ”

Fan Fangsi pondered about importing 140 million tons of materials, according to his current dimensional space capacity, even if the density of all resources was calculated according to metal iron, it would have to run more than ten times?

Isn't the honorable Mr. Fan a tool man again?

What's more critical is that the problem is back to square one, a production line of republican assault ships produces only two ships a year, so what's the use?

If more production lines of assault ships of the Republic are built, it is not only a question of funding, but also of imported resources, as well as metal resources after the establishment of the production line.

Once the production line of the Republic assault ship was established in Tatooine, Fan Founsi estimated that he was transporting supplies anytime and anywhere, right?

A dignified human-type traverser becomes a mineral resource transportation worker?

What is this Nima called?
