The imperial capital of China.

A hidden star system near the Qingluan Star Domain is where the Xuanyuan family's military industrial base is located, and there are hundreds of planets in the nearby star field, and the resources produced are never exported, all of which are provided to this base.

Of course, on the surface, it only exists as a strategic resource reserve base for the empire, but in fact it is the largest military scientific research base directly under the personal responsibility of the head of the family! This is where many of the most famous warships in the Imperial Legion come from!

There is no ecological planet in this place, so the Xuanyuan family spent a lot of money to build dozens of large fixed interstellar fortresses, and the interior of these big creatures with a diameter of 500 kilometers has been transformed into the most suitable super ecological city for human habitation. It is inhabited by more than 10 million senior engineers and first-class technical experts!

Each fortress has a top-notch high-tech laboratory, dozens of laboratories are connected to the Imperial Capital's General Institute of Military Science and Technology, plus a dedicated giant optical brain unit, every year here can come up with a number of scientific research achievements that represent the top level of the Anthropocene!

In the past hundreds of years, this has been the R&D base for each generation of the main warships of the Xuanyuan family! Together with the top-secret military laboratories owned by many wealthy families belonging to the First Group, the level and scale are rarely comparable to it!

Especially in recent decades, thirty percent of the main battleship orders of each generation of the empire have been handed over to the Xuanyuan family! Although other wealthy groups have hollowed out their minds and spent huge sums of money on the research and development of new warships, trying to come over and get a piece of the pie, few of them can compete for this family!

According to the effect of "the strong are always strong", the advantages of the Xuanyuan family in the field of military industry have become more and more difficult to shake! In addition to the Qin family, the Yun family and other handful of families. No group can challenge its position anymore!

The newly commissioned "Xuanming" class warship of the Chinese Empire. It's from this base. Its comprehensive performance has represented the highest level of technology in the Anthropocene! And quickly started mass production in just a few years!

In the core main control room of the No. 1 base, Xuanyuan Xiaofeng was accompanied by a noble, elegant, and tranquil middle-aged beauty and woman, and a large number of attachés were inspecting here.

"After the last plan was passed, everything is still going well, right?" The beautiful woman looked at the operation of the production line displayed on the huge light screen and asked with great concern.

Xuanyuan Xiaofeng immediately said: "Grandmother, near the imperial capital, all the major military bases under the name of the family have all been equipped with new production lines. is working overtime to produce; Local military bases are also changing their outfits one after another! At present, the completed finished warships have reached 15,000 units, which is just in time to deliver a new batch of orders from the Ministry of Defense! They will be added to the Northwest Line as a newly formed Category A Legion! ”

The middle-aged beautiful woman nodded, and asked again: "Then what is the production progress of the supporting equipment, such as high-power high-speed mechas, high-speed armed reconnaissance ships, levitation machine mines, space fighters, and supporting ammunition?" ”

"Grandmother! The latest improved version of the equipment was completed two months ago, and the new production line has already been assembled. The production schedule was much faster than expected, enough to meet the process of forming a new legion. It will never hold the Imperial military back! She said.

That beautiful woman is the current helmsman of the Xuanyuan family: Xuanyuan Lufang. In the entire Xinghai world, he is a famous big man!

By her side, there was also a beautiful little boy who looked eleven or twelve years old and was born in pink, that was Xuanyuan Xiaofeng's younger brother, Xuanyuan Xiangyu.

The head of the Xuanyuan family also inquired in detail about the production of other types of military supplies, including the diet and daily life of the officers and soldiers, clothing, shoes and socks, battlefield medical aid and other aspects!

Xuanyuan Xiaofeng has been in charge of some family affairs since a few years ago, and he is already very familiar with his own work, although now although the power in his hands is getting bigger and bigger, and the scale of affairs that need to be handled is correspondingly larger, but all aspects of planning and arrangement are still in order, and there is no disorder at all! Therefore, the head of the Xuanyuan family is extremely satisfied with this granddaughter of his!

"Grandmother, let's go see the new warship R&D base!" Princess Xuanyuan proposed.

The owner smiled: "Of course, I heard that now that the tests have come to an end, it will be finalized and mass-produced soon, so it's time to take a look!" ”

The group left the main control room and rushed to Laboratory 17 in an internal hovering airship.

This is the assembly center of all new warships, and the components of each sub-base will be sent here for unified testing after completion, and then assembled, and then a series of overall extreme performance tests, and finally finalized after repeated improvements!

The person in charge of the base who got the news waited outside early, welcomed the head of the family and others in, and finally arrived at the assembly hall after strict security procedures!

Five slender shark-shaped battleships with a total body of silver gray and a length of 3,500 meters are quietly parked on the maglev force field platform! The hull is perfectly streamlined, and the smooth hull is integrated, emitting a soft halo under the illumination of the light, like a finely carved handicraft!

This is an epoch-making battleship built by the family using hundreds of the latest technologies! The caliber of its main gun reached an astonishing 3,100 mm, which is almost equivalent to the standard of the secondary guns on those stationary fortresses! And the power of shooting is far better!

Compared with the latest improved version of the "Xuanming" class, its comprehensive performance is more than a step stronger! The thickness of its energy shield is only half of the former, but the protective strength has increased by 65%! In this way, in the face of the general fortress secondary artillery bombardment, it can also be guaranteed to resist one or two!

In addition, in a series of important technical indicators such as shipborne radar detection range, thruster acceleration, high-speed maneuverability, energy reactor operation efficiency, main gun charging speed, service life of key components, etc., they all far exceed the technical level of the Xuanming level!

Such a warship, even the fleets of those two old super empires may not be comparable! Just wait for large-scale equipment, and when the empire competes in the sea of stars in the future, it will have more right to speak!

The person in charge of the base is an old-fashioned old man who looks more than sixty years old, named Xuanyuan Fuyun, who is also a descendant of the family, and his actual age is more than 400 years old, he should have retired, but he has been reluctant to leave the career he has fought for all his life!

The way he looked at this battleship, he was intoxicated and blazing, as if he were looking at his beloved first love!

"Head of the house!" There was a hint of fanaticism in his voice, "This is the most perfect battleship I've ever seen!" I thought it was possible only in a dream, but I didn't want it to become a reality today, with it, the family's share of orders in the military market, even if it doubled, will become an accessible goal! ”

The head of the Xuanyuan family smiled slightly: "This also depends on the concerted efforts of all the clansmen, so that the new ship can be launched so quickly!" Maybe it's time for me to reward you! Well, you are now old, and you are somewhat unable to engage in such high-intensity mental work, and the family recently got a batch of Luanhua Jade Dew Fruit, so I'll give you two later! A good thing that can prolong life for 100 years! ”

"Then thank you to the head of the house!" Xuanyuan Fuyun was overjoyed and hurriedly replied.

"It's not just you!" The head of the Xuanyuan family said again,

"In the scientific research base, all scientific research experts who are over 400 years old and have the title of second-class academician or above can get such a reward! As for the others, as long as they make enough contributions, the family will never treat them badly! ”

Speaking of which, high-level technical talents like them are the most important essence of a family, a group, and even a country, and their number is also one of the important indicators to measure the comprehensive strength of the family!

Next, the head of the family boarded the new warship and came to the void near the base to observe the various performance tests of the battleship.

It can be seen that the performance of this battleship is indeed excellent! The representatives of the imperial military who accompanied the observation were full of praise for it, and asked the owner of the family to decide to put it into production as soon as possible, and promised to present his case to the military department to promote the approval of the new ship procurement plan as soon as possible!

The head of the Xuanyuan family had no objection to this, and after asking the opinions of the experts, he immediately made a decision, added a budget to this project, and began to assemble the production line of the new warship in advance!

As long as a month later, a small batch of finalized finished products will be sent to the front line for actual combat testing, and if there are no major technical defects, it can be decided to mass production!

The excellent performance of the equipment is naturally piled up with energy points! The latest version of the "Xuanming" class battleship, due to the use of a lot of new techniques, even if it has been mass-produced, the cost of a single ship has approached the threshold of 900,000 energy points! The maintenance cost during use is more than double that of the regular version!

As for this new ship that has not yet been named, the cost of a single ship has reached an astonishing figure of two million energy points! Several times more than the previous generation of warships! If it were placed in other big countries, it would be difficult for those in power to make up their minds to mass-produce this gold-eating beast that consumes national resources! Even if its performance is truly impressive!

Of course, the current Chinese Empire is not bad for money, and there are not a few wealthy consortia who are willing to spend a lot of money! At least Xuanyuan Xiaofeng knew that there was a potential big customer who would never be stingy with this little money!

Money is for money to be spent! There is no need to be stingy when it is time to spend money, as long as you build the most powerful legion, you will be invincible in the Savage Star Sea! I'm sure he won't fail to understand this!

The only thing to worry about is the several rare metals needed for this battleship, and the reserves in the empire are not abundant, so it may have to fall on him!

"Grandmother! This battleship has not yet been named, so how about you think of a name? Princess Xuanyuan said.

The head of the family pondered for a moment and said, "It's called 'Di Jun'!" What do you guys think? ”

Naturally, all the clansmen agreed in unison, and the matter was settled.

"By the way, as for the problem of raw materials required for mass production of battleships, you promised me last time that it would be solved!" The head of the family looked at his granddaughter and smiled,

"Is there anything in that Xiao Junling's territory? Don't let that kid fool you? ”

Xuanyuan Xiaofeng's jade face was slightly red, and he snorted coquettishly: "He dares? That guy will definitely make him look good! (To be continued......)
