Chapter 33 The Second Batch of Students
The Blueskins were still as arrogant and unreasonable as ever, but the Panvin fleet was no longer as intimidating as the bare Golden Ship it had been. So when he paid the "referral fee" to meet the slave owner, Pan Wen had more confidence.
"Thirty star coins, I want five hundred people, pay in cash." After hearing the quotation of the other party's senior slave as high as sixty star coins, Pan Wen directly opened his mouth and cut it in half.
"Human, thirty star coins are not even enough for food."
If Pan Wenwen only had one golden ship and dared to bargain like this, he might have started a fight directly, but now this slave owner obviously has to weigh up, even if he can kill the fleet in front of him by calling his friends, but once the fleet in front of him finds out that something is wrong, he can level his slave farm and food factory before the battle, and his own fleet will be trapped.
"It's not the first time I've come to buy someone, the last batch of your quotations almost wasted half a year of my time, if you can't accept my offer, you can only keep it for yourself." Only he knows whether his own soldiers make money or not, so it's just a tactic.
He has never been a person who doesn't understand interpersonal relationships, but he doesn't spend his mind on outsiders on weekdays. The blue skin said that thirty star coins and food money were not enough, but Pan Wen did not use the purchasing power of star coins to talk about the matter, so as to avoid slapping the other side, and it was easier to talk about things with a reason that they had to be low.
However, one thing needs to be clarified, the introduction fee this time and the concession fee from the other pirates who blocked the door were enough to give five hundred star coins to go out, which was much higher than the repeated toll that he should pay for the number of ships, if the blue-skinned guy in front of him really didn't give in to the price, Pan Wen didn't mind finding a few more unlucky ghosts to go under the knife before leaving.
"My pig is the best here, and sixty star coins are definitely worth the money." As the blue-skinned man spoke, the fleshy hairs on his head trembled, and he seemed to be a little weak-hearted.
"Hey!" Pan Wen deliberately shook his head and sighed, and said through the video with an old-fashioned look, "You always only see how much business you can take in front of you, so you can't do business." In this way, if you can agree to my offer and guarantee the quality, I guarantee that at least 10,000 people will be purchased in batches from you within two years. ”
Pan Wen had originally planned to use the purchase of slaves to get on better terms with the Blue Pirates, but now he was just throwing the bait as a bargaining chip, and this bait was not completely fictitious.
When she was chatting with Kareda at the bedside, Pan Wen had expressed his interest in the MR246 slave to her, but it was not time to form a topic for the time being.
There is a lot of interest in MR246's human slaves, but most of them only buy some for retail.
The advantage of being educated as a blue-skinned pirate slave is that it is easy to cultivate loyalty, and even those with high IQ are more simple than adults in human society, and their needs for resources and products are more easily satisfied. The disadvantage is that the breeding cost is high, and the cost is also high when placing large quantities.
Many low-level groups living in various space stations and bases do not actually need D21 to pay funds, as long as they guarantee employment and send people to D21 in charge. For example, the staff of D21's two existing shipyards are all from this way, and after the agreement is signed, the shipyard will return the commitment money paid by D21, and the D21 development shareholders will not pay for this except to provide personnel transportation.
The slaves of MR246 are different, they are not free people themselves, and they need money to get them out of MR246, which is even a lot compared to the annual salary of ordinary ship operators. D21 had to bring in slaves in large quantities, and it would be difficult for the shareholders to approve this expense alone. If Segeis has not been broken through this year, the financial environment of D21 will be better next year, and an additional amount of funds can be used for the livelihood security and education preparation of D21 personnel, so as to persuade the shareholders to start a small amount of introduction and training into the direct guard, so as to establish a more decent education system and establish the D21 Authority by the way.
The establishment of the D21 Management Security Bureau according to the model of Segeis is an extremely large expense just for the personnel signing fee and the personal insurance part, and the slaves are not free people, and they have no family members who have been cultivated through genetic technology, so this money does not need to be paid. The purchase price plus the training fee plus the annual salary may be a little higher than the signing fee plus the annual salary, but the better loyalty is enough to make the shareholders tempted. After all, as the D21 population increases, so will the number of people who want to have their own children, and the education system will have to come sooner or later, not to mention the need to manage the Security Service as it expands.
The number of 10,000 people obviously made the blue-skinned guy on the other side moved, and the fleshy hairs on his forehead trembled, and he asked, "How can I believe you?" ”
"I can sign an agreement of intent with you."
"Do you want to be a high-class pig?"
Aside from that insulting term, slaves are also classified in MR246, though not too much according to intelligence, except that they are classified as advanced and ordinary after testing at the age of twelve to fourteen. Some of the high-ranking slaves will become the management of various space projects such as slave farms and the staff of the blue-skinned pirates, and those who are eliminated can only be the team leader who manages ordinary slaves, kitchen bosses, and the like. I won't mention the ordinary level here, anyway, in addition to becoming a worker in various farms and factories, it is very cruel.
"At least half." There will be a lot of boring ordinary clerical work in the establishment of the Management Security Bureau, and there will even be positions that are only responsible for stamping, and there will be a lot of personnel with more ordinary physical or mental qualities, and the same use of slaves is better secrecy than humans who grew up in the outside society.
The blue-skinned guy was silent for a few seconds, and finally nodded: "Forty star coins, it can't be cheaper, I promise to give you the best pig." ”
In the final analysis, because of the unruly business methods of the Blue Pirates, there are no banks to open here, and the Blue Pirates are more unable to refuse Stars Coin cash transactions than businessmen anywhere, and the results of business negotiations are generally only two, either fighting or closing. The size of Pan Wen's fleet is obviously not a single snake head willing to take the risk of grabbing Star Coins, and the result of the concession is predictable.
"I can agree to this offer, but I only pick the best, if I am satisfied with the results of this year's training, the standards can be appropriately relaxed in the subsequent purchases."
The blue-skinned guy pouted again, but for the sake of money, he still agreed to Pan Wen's picking.
This result was expected as early as possible, the Anike people are very rough in business, otherwise it is impossible to do the thing of repeatedly charging tolls to cause the route to be depressed, since they are also high-level slaves, in the eyes of the blue pirates, the cost of raising each slave is the same, each sale is an increase in MR246 extremely scarce star coins, and those that can't be sold are not in the way, their slave industry is originally for their own use, as long as there are no other snakeheads, how many slaves can be consumed, such as building more space factories and the like.
He signed an ancient sheepskin agreement with the snake-headed Anik henchmen who came with the boat, and began to select and trade.
Because he felt that Segeis would not be able to withstand it for too long, in order to train a group of usable commanders as soon as possible, the selection of a new batch of slave cadets such as psychological testing was more rigorous than the last time, and the command and medical team of the Harbor also participated in the test.
Let the old students feel a bit cruel elimination rate, mainly to strengthen their self-motivation. Pan Wen mentioned when he was teaching strategy to the old cadets before going to D21 that because the fleet could not provide too many internship positions, and he did not have much money left, in order to "liberate" her/their companions in the future, he could only choose the best ones.
The veteran students are very aware of the cultivation system of the Blue Pirates, and with their help, although more rigorous tests have been activated, the progress of the selection is not slow. It took a few hours to get five hundred people out of nearly two thousand three hundred.
The male-to-female ratio of new cadets was roughly three to seven, and the slightly higher and limited ratio of males to older cadets was once again a testament to the fact that women were only smarter in order to gain the same position as males in slavery.
Among the new trainees, there are a few more selected according to the standard of physical strength than the old trainees, which is still less than 10%.
Pan Wen also knew that the fleet had few marines, and after excluding the members of the Oversized Mecha Group, it was occasionally a bit insufficient when it came to the half-crippled loot involving prisoners. If you don't add more physical teaching positions, it won't be very easy to teach.
Unlike other posts, the Marine Corps has a complex structure of battleships to protect, there is not much margin for error in battle, and it is normal for a mistake in the most dangerous boarding operation to cause the team to be wiped out, and it should be said that every reliable Marine climbs out of the pile of dead people. No matter how much simulation training doesn't seem to be life-threatening punishment after all, it would be good to improve their survival rate in actual tasks, and it would not turn them into killing machines with zero error rate. Therefore, in the Marine Corps, in the end, it is necessary to put into practical use in the form of a mixed mix of employees and cadets, and there are not too many places left for cadets.
The elimination rate of buying new students is more than twice as high as the previous time, but the average of each test has only increased by half a level, from B- to B. Although the improvement is not much, with the teaching experience of the old students and their testimonials, Pan Wen can also expect better results.
The new cadets were divided into two groups, 250 each, and placed on the Harbour and the Gold. The set of missions aboard the Harbour included the basics of general knowledge, physical training, and rules for space encounters; After eliminating the part that is responsible for the Harbour, the Gold is only responsible for job knowledge training and tactical literacy training.
After completing the deal with the Blue Pirates and placing the students, Pan Wen thought about it, and did not find other Blue Pirates to "get back the principal" again, if Segeis was destroyed, MR246 might become a refuge, so it was better not to keep beating people's ideas.
Command the fleet to leave MR246 in the shortest route and go to the Blue Resistance Front as soon as possible to make money. On the way, the No. 11 android girl joins the learning ranks with the new students. Although Sister No. 11 has complete abilities, she is no different from a slave-born student in terms of common sense.
Cyborg girl No. 11 is not the same as a regular NPC, she is more like a machine than an NPC, and I don't know if it's just set up or what the switch is not on. By learning with new students, you can see if anything changes.
Pan Wen has thought about the arrangement of No. 11 many times during this time, and it is almost impossible to find out whether she has been passive in manufacturing through normal means, and various implanted machinery can be checked, but there is no way to check if the genetic level is controlled, and it can only be used safely through the black technology of the black house. Moreover, the No. 11 special mecha is unlikely to be put into actual combat without the help of the Black Room.
However, using the black room to transform No. 11 and her mecha, not to mention what her own security involves, her mecha is a tactical reconnaissance aircraft after its function is perfected, and it cannot expand the team like an oversized mecha to share the development costs, Pan Wen is really a little afraid of the cost, so he can only wait until there is a need to separate the fleet.
Teachings were arranged, and when the fleet passed MR243 again, a piece of bad news came into view - the little P countries were fighting!
