Chapter 337: What Are Your Goals for the Future?
"I can't use the curvature engine, it's really irritating."
An Wen looked at the scene outside the porthole, very helpless.
Don't look at the current speed of sailing, it's the same as a space jump, one will disappear, and the other will appear.
But this kind of navigation technology has long been eliminated.
To put it bluntly, this is to find the intersection of two gravitational fields in space, and then take a shortcut to sail.
The speed is still the same, but the distance has become shorter, and it looks fast.
But in fact, this shortcut is not much faster.
The recommended speed of a conventional engine, which can hit two-thirds of the speed of light, is already very good.
Coupled with this way of taking shortcuts, the speed of navigation can reach 10-20 times the speed of light, but it is still too slow for the scale of the entire universe.
The first resource point An Wen was going to was more than twenty light-years away from the star system he was originally in.
At present, the distance of this shortcut is 680 million kilometers, and although it is less than a light year, it takes more than four months to sail to get there.
If you switch to curvature navigation or space jumps, it's much faster.
Whoosh, and there it is.
"It's so boring!"
Lying in the main control room of the Star Ring, An Wen was bored.
He was a little passionate before, but as the scenery outside the window basically didn't change, he became bored.
Real interstellar travel is so boring.
"Dawn, show the list of battleship builds."
"Okay, Commander."
Brush!
A holographic projection screen appears, and it is full of starships.
"Don't look at the satellite-class ones, just look at the planetary-class battleships."
An Wen muttered a sentence and clicked on the list of planetary-class warships.
He also wants stellar system battleships, but the problem is that there are not enough resources now, and he can't even build planetary-class motherships.
So, he could only look at planetary-class battleships.
"What frigates, cruisers, to build battleships."
Clicking on the list of battleships, before he could look at the specific parameters of the battleships, he saw that the icon of the battleships was red.
"Sorry to interrupt me."
The resources are not enough, and he can't afford to build even the lowest-level planetary battleships.
Take a step back and click on the list of satellite-class battleships.
It's finally going to be built here.
"it...... A battleship of the satellite class, starting at 100 km? ”
An Wen was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it.
The longest space battleship of the small planetary class has reached 5 kilometers, and the battleship of the satellite class has a starting point of 100 kilometers, so there is nothing surprising.
Flipping to the other ship classes, he looked at it.
A 20-kilometer satellite-class frigate, a 50-kilometer cruiser, and a battleship 100 kilometers are nothing.
Returning to the column of the battleship, he began to browse.
"It's ugly...... This firepower is a bit weak...... This shield is too thin......"
This is the willfulness of opening and hanging, the battleship is still picky, looking at this is not pleasing to the eye, looking at that is not pleasing to the eye.
After turning over for more than ten minutes, he finally saw a pleasing one.
Looking at the parameters, not to mention anything else, the length alone reaches 360 kilometers, and this data can tell the story.
Can you compare a 100-kilometer-long battleship with a 360-kilometer-long battleship?
The firepower configuration must be different.
"The requirements are a bit high, in fact, to build a battleship, it is better to build dozens of small warships and a whole fleet."
After regaining his composure, An Wen finally figured it out.
If you don't have enough resources, if you want to build a big building, forget it.
An hour later.
An Wen finally figured out the configuration of the fleet.
"100 assault ships, 30 frigates, 10 shield ships and 10 fire support ships, 5 cruisers, and an integrated command ship, this configuration should be considered good."
In fact, he also wanted to have more cruisers, but the resources did not allow it.
Unless we don't build an integrated command ship, but then we don't have maintenance, no supplies, and no command, but it's not good.
"That's it, Dawn, Ann Wen the configuration I gave and start building a fleet."
"Okay, Commander."
On the planet in absolute space, factories are up again, and robots are moving.
"In addition to the stellar-class mothership, even if it is a planet-level mothership, it is not better than my planet, although the planet has no firepower, but the logistics support is still very good."
Looking at the busy robots on the planet, An Wen was still very satisfied with his idea of wandering with the planet.
One more planet is not one more mothership.
The mothership has no survival point, while the planet can produce a survival point, and the two sides are not a heavyweight at this point.
……
In the evening, An Wen returned from the other world and waited for dinner.
Chen Yun came home from work and was surprised to see An Wen in the living room.
Recently, Anwen has been basically in retreat and rarely comes out to eat.
Even if it's a meal, it's all prepared by the robot and sent to the lab.
"The retreat is over?" Chen Yun asked.
"Well, it's over."
An Wen responded casually and continued to brush the news.
During this time, he didn't pay attention to the situation in the real world, just taking advantage of the fact that he was okay now, watching the news.
After eating, Chen Yun suddenly said, "What should the company do next?" ”
"What? The development of the company? Isn't it developing quite well? An Wen didn't understand what Chen Yun meant.
"It was good before, but in the last year, the company has not only not developed, but has regressed.
If it weren't for the state subsidy, the consumption of the scientific research experimental area would be enough to drag down the company. Chen Yun said helplessly.
"How is that possible?" Ann didn't believe it.
"With global migration, national trade began to decrease, and most of the company's previous profits were earned globally from cosmetics and daily necessities.
In this situation, do you still expect cosmetics to make money? When the world's population migrates to Hope, international trade will be disrupted.
When the time comes, relying on the consumption power of the people in our country will not be able to support our company.
It's not that the profit is too low, it's that the cost is too high. Chen Yun said in a deep voice.
"Uh...... What about interstellar trade? An Wen was stunned for a moment and replied.
"Interstellar trade can be engaged, but do you think that everyone is no longer on the same planet, so what's the use of us earning foreign currency?
As far as the layout you arrange now, in the future, we don't even need imported equipment, and we don't need agricultural and sideline products. ”
This one......
An Wen looked at Chen Yun and didn't know what to say.
After all, the problem of national trade has touched his knowledge blind spot.
"Then according to you, international trade is not needed?" An Wen always felt that something was wrong here.
"International trade is still needed, but the future of international trade is different from the previous international trade." Chen Yun opened his mouth and said.
"Well, what the hell are you trying to say?" An Wen was stunned.
"My question to you is, in the future, whether the company will form interstellar transportation or interstellar fleet.
Whether the company will be aiming to make money in the future, or will it have other goals?
After all, the company is no longer a company. ”
After hearing this, An Wen finally reacted.
"Is this what you want to know, or is it something you want to know?" An Wen asked.
"What I want to know, during the Chinese New Year, the old man asked me to ask you, but I didn't ask.
Although there are many external factors for us to get married, now we are husband and wife.
I would also like to know, what are your goals.
I will not interfere with your decisions, even if your goals are the most worrying kind, I will be on your side. ”
Chen Yun said sincerely.
"Hmm...... Actually, I didn't think about the question you asked. ”
"......" Chen Yun.
