Chapter 042: Preparing for War
Su Mu and Nana converged and exchanged today's results with each other. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"What! You said you bought a full 15 billion weapons and equipment?! After listening to Nana's words, Su Mu was dumbfounded.
He looked at their current assets again, and the remaining liquidity was less than 100 million... I don't know if Franco's side knows about this, but it should indicate that he is emotionally stable.
Su Mu browsed Nana's last purchase results-
First of all, there are 10,000 sets of individual equipment, worth 1 billion, and the configuration has reached the level of the regular army, including various types of explosive rifles, beam sniper rifles, plasma combat daggers, light protective armor, heavy protective armor, thermobaric grenades, individual antimatter missiles, reconnaissance robots...
The second is shipborne weapons, worth 8.5 billion, including anti-energy external armor, beam cannons, blaster cannons, gravity guns, split missiles, retribution missiles...
The third is land-based weapons, worth 1.5 billion, including beam cannons (larger caliber version), blaster cannons (more powerful version), small city energy shields...
The fourth is war materials, worth 2 billion, including fusion energy, antimatter energy, new damage management equipment, military dry food, minor injury repair liquid, disposable spare organs...
Su Mu looked at Nana's purchase list that could be called a loser, thinking that this scale could soon subvert a prosperous planet, and suddenly felt a little speechless, "Uh... Anyway, all of them are in great demand, buy more, and sell them secretly in the future, and you will definitely not lose money. ā
While reassuring himself, he suddenly noticed something like a space warp device, which read-
The new weapon, worth 2 billion, is called the Space Warp Device, which has just been researched by scientists in the Kingdom of Faron and is currently in continuous experiments, with a price of 1 billion rounds per shot, which can destroy space stability and make it impossible for the spacecraft to travel faster than light.
"I didn't expect to buy this good thing!" Su Mu knew that as long as there was such a thing, there would definitely be no difficulty in dealing with the enemy fleet at that time.
"How about I bought it?" Nana asked expectantly.
"You bought it very well! Since the kingdom of Faron is not supporting us, we will empty their armaments! Su Mu, who was in a good mood, joked, and said: "Especially the space warp device is very good, I think it can be applied to the new strategic and tactical level, victory at this level, even if there is no slightest progress and advantage at the tactical level, it can bring the final victory, but how to use it, I will tell you when the time comes." ā
Su Mu thought that the arrival of the Great Exploration Era 1.0 is also a great progress in technology, all kinds of new theories, new technologies emerge in an endless stream, many of which have no application value, and will still drive change, for example, the current space war is gradually ushering in a new storm, that is, space war will no longer be limited to the sub-light speed state, and the superluminal speed of travel may produce conflicts, among which the vital weapons include the space warp device in front of you.
"Since you said it's so important, why don't you buy more?" Nana heard Su Mu praise herself, and asked again.
"If the other party gives a discount, it's fine." Su Mu replied, and the biggest obstacle is that they have no liquidity at present, do they have to borrow money to buy weapons and equipment?
After Su Mu finished the inspection, he handed over the new work to Nana, first of all, to distribute individual equipment to the appropriate crews, and conduct strict and formal military training, not counting the previous ones, that is at most militia training, and then to install the ship's weapons on their spacecraft, and even have to be sent to the shipyard for simple transformation, and the space warping device is convenient, there is a special launch department, which is directly stuffed in the storage compartment, and it can be taken care of.
He continued to carry out activities, he didn't want to use a dozen or so spaceships, even if he could do it himself, he would have to find some thugs to be strong.
He re-contacted the Baron of Asturias, and the baron, who had not finished speaking, finally made his decision to give him a ship, as well as his squire Kaminia and 50 experienced crew members for this time to support the Saint-Calan frontier and defend his baron's estate.
It just so happened that Nana bought a lot of weapons, and since the baron gave him a new spaceship with a lot of money, he simply armed the new spaceship with a lot of weapons and equipment and transformed it into an armed trade spaceship.
He also issued a commission in the Pioneer Association, the remuneration is 500 million, looking for a pioneer to help defend the pioneer of St. Calan's frontier, you need to bring your own spaceship, considering that a new faster-than-light spaceship is worth 1 billion, and participating in the war will not necessarily lead to the destruction of the spaceship, the reward of 500 million is attractive enough, and yes, the war has not yet begun, this money is not yet a shadow, it doesn't matter if you promise to go out first.
Even so, it was still extremely risky to take the commission, and it was about a few days before the Pioneers approached to be involved in the support, and the one who was still an acquaintance of Su Mu, Sir Silva.
When Su Mu took the initiative to rummage through the various forces of the Lighthouse Star and what else he could invite to come over and help surround his St. Karan's pioneering ground, he unexpectedly encountered support from the Evangelical Sect at this time.
Although Su Mu himself is not religious, but ah, since there is such a good thug who takes the initiative to send it to the door, he will not refuse it, don't go around preaching, then he doesn't care, besides, with the current situation of the Evangelical Church in the midst of religious reform, it seems that it can't be done.
Here came the Knights of Mercy, which is one of the three major orders under the Evangelical Church that directly obey the Pope of the Western Church, and even the archbishops of various dioceses cannot dictate to it, with their own planet, their own people, their own fleet, and the main place of activity is on the island star.
What Su Mu saw today was Nablus, the head of the Faron branch of the Knights of Mercy, who was second only to the Grand Master in terms of status and was at the same level as Baron Asturias.
Even though it was the first time they met, Nablus took the initiative to support them, and Su Mu agreed without saying a word.
The reason is very simple, he knows that this gang of self-proclaimed knights, in fact, is still the combat power of the pioneers, because the main active area of the Knights of Mercy is close to the powerful Barubas Kingdom, all the knights' ships have the ability to fight in arms, compared to the Faron pioneers who have relatively few battles, it is naturally very different.
Su Mu asked Nablus again for details, and then knew that in this year's election for the Grand Master of the Knights of Mercy, their Faron branch had completely lost, so in order to prove their devotion to God, they wanted to take the direction of the eastern route to attack their enemies, anyway, it had been determined that there were hostile countries that believed in Shinrikyo there, and they could even approach the Kingdom of Barubas from the other side.
It's really a perfect reason, Su Mu thinks that he can use this reason to pull more thugs, if he pulls the Poor Knights and the Guardian Knights over, it will be a new crusade!
Forget it, anyway, one of the other two major knights likes to engage in speculation, and one likes to farm, even if it is really pulled over, it is estimated that their own development will be disturbed, and they still have no direct conflict at present, if they directly encounter a higher-level conflict of ideas in the future, then it will become a pit for themselves.
After 7 days of emergency preparations, the news of the attack of the enemy fleet officially came from the San Calan Frontier Land, and Su Mu had to set off, relying on his two spaceships, plus the two additional spacecraft support, a total of 4 spaceships, and would rush back to San Calan to support, hoping that before they arrived, the Pioneer Land would be able to support it.
