Chapter 19 USS Kangaroo is a small general-purpose transport
Ning Yu looked at the Huang family's catalog for a long time, and in the end, only the starship was missing, but the amount of debt in his hand was not much.
The design drawings of the remote-controlled combat robot and the intelligent optical brain used up the Huang family's debt of 23 billion.
Ning Yu was afraid that if the Ning family had any more battles, the energy consumption would be greater, so he exchanged another 10 million standard nuclear energy batteries as a family reserve, and the price of each standard nuclear energy battery was 1,000 earth coins, and a total of 10 billion yuan was used.
Even with these reserves, Ning Yu is actually not very relieved, because the Ning family is newly equipped with dozens of captured mechas, and the power source of the mecha uses a 3,000-unit standard nuclear battery compartment, which is the size of 3 home computer cases, and can be inserted into three battery packs of 1,000 pieces, obviously the battery consumption of this kind of mecha is very large each time, and the Ning family is also surprised that this simple mecha can consume so much energy. They are working on a second generation to reduce energy consumption.
Ion blade weapons, Ning Yu only bought 550 handles, of which 50 handles are mecha-specific types, 500 handles are warrior-specific types, the styles are different, but the price is very regular, 10 million for mecha-specific types, 1 million for warriors, a total of only 1 billion yuan, I think these ion blade weapons are not high-end goods on the market, otherwise they won't be so cheap.
In addition, in terms of long-range firepower, Ning Yu also chose a simple long-range weapon for the elite armor troops to be formed, this kind of rotating tube electromagnetic cannon called "electromagnetic gatling" was originally designed for mechas. It inherited the advantages and disadvantages of this type of weapon, which had existed in the gunpowder age, with an astonishing rate of fire and bulky size. The fires are magnetically propelled physical projectiles, and although each armor-piercing projectile can only leave a small bullet hole in the enemy's shield and armor, the dense fire fired from its rotating tube is somewhat astonishing if it hits a little. In fact, many families can make this kind of weapon by themselves, and the Ning family has also made some of it themselves. Ning Yu will buy it is actually because of the price, the price is cheaper than the material cost, Ning Yu guessed that this batch of goods may have been looted by which family, and was bought by the Huang family, but he didn't want to, no family dared to buy it, so the Huang family had to sell it at a low price. 4,000 only cost 1 billion earth coins, which means that the price of 2 million is only sold for 250,000. Although there is a subtle reminder after the price of the product, it is a non-signed family product, and the Chamber of Commerce is not responsible for any after-sales liability. But Ning Yu still bought it without hesitation, he thought about it, the current Ning family is already fat meat targeted by all kinds of jackals, and it makes no difference if he provokes some families. And this price is simply a disguised saving of 7 billion for the family, in addition, the use of this weapon is very extensive, the number of 4,000, the family can also digest, even if there is any trouble in the future, it will depend on whether this time can get rid of the threat of those waiting for the opportunity to annex the Ning family.
When he finally saw the starship, Ning Yu's available debt repayment amount was only 15 billion. But the various capital ships, transport ships, frigates, and assault ships in front of him were itching Ning Yu's heart for a while. So far, the Ning family has only two star shuttles that can be regarded as starships, but the length of these two star shuttles is less than 200 meters, although it has the ability to get rid of the earth's gravity, but the original design intention of this kind of star ship is only a type of ship that pursues speed, it is a good means of transportation and transshipment, and there are also some families with weak economic strength who will use it as a long-range fire support ship, but if the Ning family wants to gain a foothold in the universe, only the star shuttle will not work, and even the starship developed by the Ning family now, it will not work. There must be many types of ships that match each other and each has its own functions in order to survive in the universe.
The first thing needed is a gravity ecological ship that can inhabit civilians in the universe, and if you have the ability, you can also build a gravity ecological city, but the cost of that kind will definitely not be less than tens of trillions, so it is more practical for the Ning family to have a gravity ecological ship first. On the Huang family's commodity catalog, there are several ecological ships, but they are all one-time ecological migration ships that can only live a few hundred people, and the Ning family has more than 10,000 people, even if only half of them will immigrate to the universe, this small ship type is not enough, and this kind of one-time immigration ship, if they do not successfully find the immigrant star or do not have enough supplies, the civilians on the ship will die due to the exhaustion of resources. Ning Yu would never take such a risk. What he needs is a ship type that can be self-sufficient in the universe and can live permanently.
In addition, energy and minerals are indispensable for survival in the universe, and mineral refining ships, resource carriers, and engineering ships are also very important.
Ning Yu saw a small general-purpose transport ship produced in 2098 and 0.6 kilometers long on the catalog, "general" means that it can transport various types of materials, and "ship" indicates that it has a certain amount of armament and can properly protect itself on the way. What Ning Yu values most is that the price of this kind of transport ship is very cheap, and the speed is very amazing, but its biggest disadvantage is that a lot of space in the ship's body is occupied by propulsion devices, and the cargo compartment for transporting materials only accounts for two-thirds of the total space, and the armor is average, and the energy consumption is very large. In fact, this type of ship is designed for battleship formations, which can follow the formation to maneuver quickly, provide supplies, and quickly retreat into the rear at the beginning of the battle, and can also be used as a rescue tug to dock and tow the warships that have lost power. It is a very practical type of ship, with a price tag of 15 billion, which is exactly the same as Ning Yu's remaining quota, Ning Yu is very tempted, but he still does not rush to make a decision. He wanted to see the type of ship behind him before making a decision.
Most of the ships in the back are combat ship types, from the star shuttle equipped with long-range energy cannons, to the capital ship that uses ultra-thick alloy armor, from the landing ship equipped with mecha and specially used to capture operations, to the space carrier carrying a large number of unmanned fighters, from the assault ship with super frontal resistance ability, to the combat star ship with evasion ability no less than that of fighters. Ning Yu had already used all his attention, but after reading all the data of these ship types, he still spent 5 hours.
Unconsciously, Ning Yu was the only one left in the reception hall of the Huang family, outside the wide Chinese terrace, the beautiful fairyland-like garden was full of sunset, and the huge transparent dome shot into the sunset, everything showed that Ning Yu had stayed in the Huang family for a whole day.
After reading the data of the starship, Ning Yu was very sorry, there are indeed many good ship types, but the price is also high and scary, and what makes Ning Yu most angry is that he has taken a fancy to several ship types with suitable prices, and the prompt after the price is actually "consignment", that is to say, Ning Yu can't pay with the arrears of the Huang family, if you want to get it, you have to spend the 96 billion earth coins that the family saved in the Qian family's bank, but the money can only be obtained after submitting a formal application to the Qian family. What's more, that Qian Ningyu already had other plans.
However, there are so many consignment goods, it is understandable to think about it, there are so many goods on the Huang family's sales catalog, and the total value is so huge, if they are all owned by the Huang family, then the Huang family is probably not only as strong as it is now, even if they only have the dozen or so consignment ships on the catalog, I am afraid that their ranking is enough to rank first among the three major families in the city.
Ning Yu finally had to give up those impossible options, and exchanged for the previous small general-purpose transport ship called "Kangaroo", this ship, the hull is 0.6 kilometers long, that is, 600 meters high, 100 meters wide, the hull is made of three layers of standard thickness of low-grade alloy building materials, the natural color of this building material is dark gray, and as an economic transport ship, the surface of this hull has no color coating, so the hull of the "Kangaroo" is dark gray as a whole.
The ship's defensive armament is two medium-energy electromagnetic cannons that fire small-caliber armor-piercing projectiles, which can be used to create a basketball-sized bullet hole for a standard thickness of medium-grade alloy material, and then detonate an explosion range of 8 meters in diameter inside it.
The main power used by the "Kangaroo" is 18 high-thrust ion thrusters, although it does not have the ability to take off and land large gravitational stars, but it occupies a large space at the rear of the hull, and the advantage is that it can quickly speed up and swim in space.
The living facilities on the ship are very simple, there is only one living warehouse and a public warehouse, and there is not even a separate control room, the captain and crew are commanding the navigation on a platform in the public warehouse, and under the platform is a public activity hall, including bars and some entertainment facilities, fortunately, there are only 100 people on the ship, otherwise the noise of the public warehouse may be enough to affect the people on the control platform.
In addition, the "Kangaroo" also has a design feature, it uses a nested design, the living compartment and the public compartment are actually a separate small passenger shuttle, which is embedded between the front cargo compartment and the rear thruster, once the ship needs to be abandoned, the inlaid small passenger shuttle, will take the best 4 thrusters on the main ship to break away from the main ship, quickly escape from the danger area.
After a day of analysis and comparison, Ning Yu finally used up all the 50 billion repayment quotas, 23 billion quotas in exchange for the design drawings of remote control combat robots and intelligent optical brain designs, 10 billion quotas in exchange for 10 million standard nuclear batteries, 1 billion in exchange for 550 ion blade weapons, 1 billion in exchange for 4,000 rotating electromagnetic cannons that should be worth 8 billion, and 15 billion in exchange for the "Kangaroo" small general-purpose transport ship.
It's just that at this time, Ning Yu, who was looking at the image of the "Kangaroo", had another problem. Although the problem of the Huang family's debt to the Ning family has been solved, the Huang family can easily hand over other exchange items to the Ning family. However, because the "Kangaroo" does not have the ability to take off and land on the earth, the Ning family must send people to the starport in the outer orbit of the earth to receive it, but the Ning family does not even have a captain who has commanded the starship. Although there are captains who have commanded two star shuttles, the kind of fast delivery vehicles with few members cannot be compared with real big starships, and the experience and knowledge required for the captain's position are not something that the captain can handle.
Thinking of this, Ning Yu not only shook his head and smiled bitterly, many of the family's plans were still not very thorough, and he despised the talent reserves in the universe. It seems that the Ning family's top priority now is to train a group of captains and crews.
