Chapter Seventy-Three: Lightning-Pounding Bad News
The calm continues in the Second World. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The tranquility before the war always makes people panic, and Pan Wen is no exception, the more the crew's sense of crisis eases, the more difficult he feels about the future.
A few days ago, the H1 Mishaler class had entered the construction process, much earlier than planned, because the two manufacturers who supervised the construction felt that MCOSX could play a famous role in the late negotiations, and lowered the price of H1 Mishale by 15,000 star coins.
After careful consideration, Pan Vin decided that this H1 Mishaler would be the last cruiser to be added to the fleet, and the fleet would not purchase or customize cruisers in the future.
From the point of view of firepower, after the H1 Mishale is added to the ranks, the overall firepower of the fleet can be increased by 30% compared with the current moment, and the continued introduction of cruisers will not be able to give the fleet obvious help due to the increase in the fleet's own strength and the lack of senior captains.
After the fall of Segois, the pirates changed careers, and the number of no-ship captains who could be hired through the Young Hina was very rare, not to mention that Panvin's fleet was only short of more boss-tier captains. Of course, it's not that the young Hina can't hire a captain, and there are even a lot of powerful guys waiting for contracts in the neutral port, but these people are all commercial captains, and when they really encounter a large-scale conflict, they are very likely to perform worse than the early cadets who have already experienced a hundred battles.
Judging from the time, it has been nearly seven months since K30 was occupied, and if those bugs were really the same species as those on the E7 moon of Haimer, they should have been ready to attack, or they were just waiting for the right time.
If it's just the demon kings waiting strategically, Pan Wen doesn't need to worry, these people may no longer be called human buddies, they can control irrational conflicts better than humans, and they can lurk for a very long time.
But the players are different, the players have been grounded long enough, even if they have been thinking of taking a vacation earlier, the patience should be almost exhausted at this time, and the combat class group among the players is a group that cannot be restrained for a long time, and it will definitely make some moths. In the MR star cluster, there is a high possibility that the Empire and the Federation will be hit again, and the KT cluster that does not have much communication with the Empire and the Federation, especially the regions with more jump relays, is more likely to be selected. It doesn't matter if they go in the direction of the Resistance Front or the small and medium-sized countries on the other side...... There are bugs on both sides, and at least not yet one of them can be expected to be a native species.
For these two reasons, Pan Wen thought that there was not enough time to save money to build more big ships, so after paying the manufacturing fee for H1 Mishale, he began to plan where the money he earned would go.
If we face a super-scale war in the future, what can help Pan Wen will be more external forces than the strength of the fleet itself, and its own strength is only a means to "intimidate" external forces, rather than a force that determines the direction of the battle. In terms of spending, it should be mainly based on uniting other friendly and quasi-friendly forces, and use a small part to buy parts for the fleet.
Pan Wen's current stable income includes nearly 3,000 Star Coins for the Resistance's gold-digging commissioned fleet, 2,600 Star Coins per month for the loot that had been lost to the company in the form of material loans and other periods, and finally the dividends from D21 Development Company have climbed to an average of 5,200 Star Dollars per month last quarter. With the removal of the R&D burden of the MCOSX project, the initial formation of the food base, the completion of the construction of life-related functions of the steel shell port, the gradual stabilization and optimization of the sales channels of energy products, and the establishment of the food sales network, if the following strategy changes are not made, the dividends of D21 Development Company will gradually occupy a larger proportion of Panwen's total revenue composition.
"Mr. Pan, are you sure you really want to execute this document?" It was Adele, Kareda's secretary, who spoke.
"Go ahead and hope you will take advantage of it."
Just now, Pan Wen signed a dividend control agreement in the steel shell port, according to this agreement, Pan Wen's dividends will be directly halved in the future, in exchange for the transfer of personnel at any time to form a special task office, and he no longer needs to pay for himself before the limit is reached in the special task, and the unspent part can only be returned after the equity change and cannot be withdrawn in advance.
It doesn't seem like there's any agreement for eggs, it seems to be a part of the dividends and ask his company's employees to help with things, but the reality is that this is an agreement that is beneficial to both Pan Wen and D21 Development Company.
Let's talk about Pan Wen personally, Pan Wen's main focus in the early stage was to improve the strength of the fleet, and the purpose of staying in the port for two years was basically to replenish supplies and relax the crew, except for a small number of meetings on hearings and other occasions, he had no time to manage the network. Relatively speaking, D21 Development Company is now a company whose products are sold to four or five star systems, and the radiation range of the business has entered the Starbridge, and the information that the staff of the local offices can access may be the information that needs to be bought for a lot of money. Although as a shareholder, Pan Wen usually has the right to consult employees, but the efficiency of finding people back to the port across dozens of light years is ......, with the special task force, it can handle the assigned tasks during Pan Wen's absence from the port, and with the expansion of the D21 development company, the special task force can use the "potential" is also greater, without spending more money.
For the company, as a major shareholder, Pan Wen has a large amount of dividends, and half of the dividends are withheld every quarter, and the company itself will have more capital buffers regardless of the progress of the task force of the special task force. In a sense, just like a bank, Pan Wen can't consume the funds in the first place, and this money will become more money in the company. What's more, there is also a person who cannot withdraw the controlled dividends before the equity change, which is equivalent to reducing the amount of funds that Pan Wen can obtain in the process of equity change, and gaining a dominant position for other major shareholders, of course, mainly Karuida.
In short, in the current state, even if Pan Wen's fleet does not steal mines, the funds and connections that he can call on him are still like that.
After signing the agreement, Adele was about to leave when he suddenly turned back to Pan Wen and said, "Mr. Pan, forgive me for taking the liberty of being a weirdo. ”
Pan Wen shrugged, indicating that she was not the first person to say so.
The fleet continued to recuperate at the port for two days, and Phan Van formed a new task force with the help of his own financial representative who remained at the port.
There are only two tasks for the time being, one is to get a stable contact channel for heroes from all walks of life. Generally speaking, people who can have a stable communication channel either do things that are more regular in a fixed area, or they have more requirements for information like Pan Wen, and they do not include those who are too small anyway.
Another mission is to strengthen the relationship with the MR246 Blue Pirates, who are indeed a very unruly bunch, but their average strength is indeed higher than that of human pirates. Pan Wen has some business dealings with the Blue Pirates, and he had some advance communication a few months ago in order to prevent mercenaries from raiding the Starbridge, and through these connections, he was able to barely get the hands and feet of the D21 development company to stretch his hands and feet to MR246 while increasing the exchange.
MR246 is a place that has been implicated in the Worm War, which led to the destruction of the inhabitant planet, and the need for resources has always been strong, but the rejection of humans by the Blue Pirates and the unfriendly "business" methods have left them with no stable trade routes with the outside world. Through communication a few months ago, Pan Wen knew that a small group of blue pirates would be able to make some concessions at the necessary moment, and that race relations were not static in the eyes of this part of the Anik, and from a business point of view, they were the key to D21 Development's infiltration of MR246.
According to Pan Wen's task force, the asset structure of several primary targets will theoretically be quickly optimized through the purchase and sale of resources, and if the other party feels enough benefits, they may try to persuade the blue pirates in the relevant area not to charge so many tolls on cargo ships, so that the company can generate profits and the targets can enjoy more affordable prices. The mission itself will not cost Panven's assets except for the salary of the special task force, but it is difficult to say if the cargo ship is robbed, so before the outbreak of war, Doris will lead the Diamond, Fat Dun, and Heavy Hammer to form a detachment to assist in the trade again.
The strategy of action for the Anikes is long-term, but in the short term, it is also a good way to maintain the previous common understanding. Whether it will work is not known for the time being, and if it succeeds, it will be thanks to the mercenaries, if it weren't for their ferocity that would have caused the Aniks to panic, Pan Wen would not have been able to find a suitable target for commercial infiltration.
With everything arranged, Pan Vin joined the mine stealing again with the Gold, the Harbour, the Shotgun, and three ensigns.
Time flies.
When the Panwen fleet left MR241 again without danger, he finally got a message from Yuka Nishikawa on the young Hin.
According to the information provided by Yuka Nishikawa, the K30 appeared to be very calm, although the conflicts encountered were all the result of the victory of the swarm, but the scouts did not encounter or observe the oversized swarm, according to the analysis of the mixed fleet of two to three hundred patrol ships and frigates, it should be enough to sweep away the K30's space swarm. And in the ground direction of K30, the situation of the swarm is also very strange, and there are even living people on K30E4 who can send messages to the outside atmosphere!
Judging from this paragraph, Pan Wen's earlier judgment of the K30 swarm was completely wrong, but there is another paragraph in it that means that the information he provided for Nishikawa Yuka about the swarm class has all been proven to exist!
The insect swarms that have had human-insect wars with humans in the "history" of the Galactic Era are interstellar travel organisms, mainly spreading in the form of spores or microbial communities parasitic on meteorites. The process of the final evolution of space communities by protozoa on different planets is very long and complex, and it is difficult for the space species that eventually evolved to have completely repeated populations due to the differences in planetary environments.
Now the swarm of K30 is basically the same as that on the E7 satellite of Haimer Star, but there are two more ones, and it is certain that it is judged to be the same species, and the rest is only what the hell is going on with that group of bugs.
The size of the swarm exhibited by K30 must be problematic, and the intelligence even mentions that the swarm has also been found on K30E3, how can the scale be similar to the previous E7 swarm?
Pan Wen felt that there were two possibilities, one was that the main force of the insect swarm was hiding, and a star system was not big, but there were quite a lot of blind spots in the reconnaissance. Away from the ecliptic, as long as it does not obscure important stars (reference points for the accuracy correction of star maps) and does not produce excessive radiation, the existing reconnaissance equipment of human beings cannot locate it at all, not to mention that the reconnaissance equipment that players can use now will not be too high-end.
Another possibility is that the swarm is accumulating resources on the ground, waiting for an outbreak. The example of D21 is in front of us, even in the face of the proto-insect swarm, human beings have no practical way to completely eliminate the insect swarm except for destroying the planet, so it is also a good choice to use the space insect swarm to draw attention and focus on looting resources. Of course, if the group of K30 and the group of E7 escaped knew each other, they should not choose this plan, after all, the existence of the atmosphere still creates trouble for the swarm to transfer resources to space, and the whole conversion requires a certain process, and if the amount is too large, it is easy to cause alarm.
Just as Pan Wen's fleet had processed the minerals in MR243 and was about to re-enter the mining area, a bad news descended like thunder: the Blue Country (i.e., the holy land of love nurtured by the blue sea) issued a distress signal through an interstellar emergency signal, claiming that K1, K2, and K3 had been ransacked by the swarm!
Sure enough, it was said that it was impossible to produce a species that could perform physical invisibility in natural evolution, and the Demon King finally showed his claws.
