In the blink of an eye, it has entered September. The preparations for a new round of strategic expansion are also nearing the end of the Empire, a large number of legions have been incorporated into the regular army of the Empire after completing their training, and the number of logistics reserves has also reached a new height, which can meet the consumption of the current Imperial army for about a year!

On this day, Yun Haoyu came to inspect a large military industrial base near the Imperial Capital Star Domain.

"What about the new line? Nothing was wrong, was there? ”

In the base warehouse, Yun Haoyu looked at the boxes of sealed finished equipment and asked with concern.

Yun Yingxue beside her replied: "The four-star light armor assembly line has been in operation for more than a month, and no problems have been found yet!" Moreover, the output is more than ten times higher than in the past, and the qualified rate of finished products is about eighty percent. ”

"Oh, it looks better than expected!" Yun Haoyu said with a smile, "It seems that as long as we continue to increase investment and improve it according to the actual situation, it won't be long before this efficiency will be improved!" ”

"However, the best production line that has been put into use so far can only mass-produce four-star equipment!" Yun Yingxue said with some regret, "As for the five-star production line, although it is already stepping up research, it will take at least two months before it can be put into use!" Not to mention the six-star ones, I don't know if there is any hope for March next year! ”

"This can't be rushed," Yun Haoyu comforted her, "The current result is already very good, in fact, the most demanded by the Imperial Legion is three-star and four-star equipment, as for the five-star one, although it is better, it requires at least a ninth-order ability to exert its full power!" The current number is not much, but it is barely enough! ”

"Six-star equipment can only be used to the fullest extent by the masters of the Holy Rank, and although there are enough masters of this level in the current Imperial Legion, it has not reached the point where the supply exceeds demand, so don't worry about it for the time being!"

Since obtaining the inheritance technology in the second Yuangu base, an automatic processing line capable of mass production of advanced ability equipment has been successfully developed and immediately put into use! At present, it seems that the effect is quite good, and the quality of the equipment produced fully meets the requirements!

Due to the particularity of the ability equipment and the unbearably high cost, the previous countries of the Star Sea have not been able to mass-produce on a large scale, and can only let the creators manually carry out assembly operations, so the output has been maintained at a low level, and the price of the equipment is also extremely high!

Therefore, in the previous Imperial Ability Legion, only high-level abilities with a rank of colonel or above and strength above the seventh rank were eligible for four-star equipment; And five-star equipment must be at least general-level officers and saint-rank powerhouses to be qualified to equip them!

Now that the Imperial Ability Legion is getting bigger and bigger, so is the need for equipment! Although it has the largest team of creators in the galaxy, and it is purchased regardless of the cost, it still can't meet the demand!

Fortunately, at this time, the automated production line finally appeared, and I saw the hope of solving this problem!

Yun Yingxue said worriedly:

"Having said that, but the number of high-level supernatural beings in the empire is growing extremely fast, and the five-star equipment they need is now about to bottom out, and the six-star inventory is still some, but it can only last for three or four months, and the production line must be brought out as soon as possible!"

Yun Haoyu nodded and said, "It's okay, you let them do their best, if there are any difficulties, just say it, I will definitely find a way to solve it!" ”

"The main difficulty at the moment is that there is not enough time!" She thought for a moment and said:

"By the way, there is also the issue of raw materials for equipment! The various high-strength alloys, rare crystals, and special energy cores required for processing abnormal equipment are extremely valuable, and the current production capacity needs to make them seriously insufficient! It's going to have to be solved right away! ”

As the saying goes: it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and with the production line, the supply of raw materials can't keep up, so don't expect to be able to make good things! Therefore, Yun Haoyu attaches great importance to this issue.

"I'll give you a warrant when I get back, and you can get all the raw materials in the National Strategic Reserve Warehouse as long as they can be used!" "In addition, the Empire will be building a large number of new mines to mine the resources that are urgently needed to meet the needs of the military!" You can rest assured! ”

The quality and quantity of the ability equipment is directly related to the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Ability Legion, so it is an issue that cannot be ignored! Yun Haoyu discussed with his aunt for a while, and decided to immediately add another batch of production lines, plus the previous inventory, and strive to let all the soldiers of the Ability Legion go out with a set of four-star equipment before setting out for the expedition!

Of course, this is the current standard, and when there is a war with the Pojiang Empire in the future, this standard will have to be raised to suppress the unbelievably large number of high-level abilities on the other side!

Yun Haoyu casually grabbed a sealed metal box, and a snow-bright light blade condensed by spiritual power appeared in his hand, cutting open the box like slicing tofu.

Inside were ten exquisite Nanmu boxes, each box was a lightsaber hilt, he took out one and looked at it for a moment, and then skillfully pressed the excitation button, the hilt trembled slightly, and a light blue light gushed out like flowing water, and then formed a light blade as long as one meter and about several centimeters wide under the constraints of the magnetic field.

The light blade body was solid and stable, and he slashed a few times on the damaged box, and the hard alloy was silently cut, and there was almost no sense of blockage, and it was clear that the power of the light blade did meet the design requirements.

Then, at the emperor's suggestion, several creators who accompanied him temporarily picked out some equipment in other warehouses in the base, took them out and tested them on the spot, and the results were all above the qualified level.

He nodded with satisfaction, encouraged the base supervisor a few words, and looked at the production workshop, assembly center, energy center and other places for a while before boarding the ship on the return trip.

"The production has increased, so the cost should be able to be reduced, right?" On the way back to the imperial capital, he asked Yun Yingxue.

In the past, four-star equipment required at least one million yuan crystals, five-star ones were more than 10 million, not to mention six-star ones, and a set of at least hundreds of millions of source crystals! With such a high price, even with the financial resources of the Starlight Empire, a large number of equipment is loaded, and the burden is quite heavy!

She pondered it for a moment and said:

"Of course it is! In the past, things were expensive, mainly because they were difficult to process and too time-consuming! The price of raw materials is just one factor! Now with the production line, the cost of each set of equipment can be reduced by at least about 70%, and it will continue to decrease with the improvement of the production line and the further expansion of the production scale in the future! ”

"Of course, this is limited to equipment below four stars, five-star and six-star equipment, because the processing difficulty is too high, and the raw materials are too precious, even if it can be mass-produced, the cost will not be greatly reduced in the short term!"

"As long as it can be reduced by two or three percent, it is a good result, don't rush, take your time!" Yun Haoyu said with a smile, "However, it would be nice if the current empire could mass-produce demigod-level equipment!" ”

Yun Yingxue's eyes widened in surprise, and she said in disbelief: "Your Majesty, are you joking?" Demigod-level equipment is not a cabbage, you can have as much as you want! Besides, even if there is such an anti-sky production line, do you have enough raw materials? ”

"How do you know if you can't do it if you don't try?" Yun Haoyu said, "I've already seen it, the technology obtained from the second Yuangu Base only has the production technology of six-star equipment!" However, isn't the third base not open yet? When I have time in the future, I'll get it back, and maybe I'll find something good! ”

"Oh well! The technology is there, but what about the raw materials? "Yun Ying Xue Dao, "I once estimated that although the current empire can collect a lot of rare raw materials every year, there are only one in a hundred things that can be used to create sub-artifacts!" So the technology doesn't make a lot of sense! ”

Yun Haoyu said disapplausively:

"If one day in the future, the Starlight Empire can unify the entire Star Sea, plus those savage galaxies around it, countless rare materials will naturally be developed every year, what do you have to worry about at that time?"

Yun Yingxue's face couldn't help but stagnate, and she said with some hesitation:

"If that's the case, maybe it's possible! Mass production of sub-artifacts! My Majesty, only you dare to say such crazy ideas! ”

"What's that?" Yun Haoyu said confidently, "After the empire unifies the Star Sea, I will also lead the fleet to expedition to that Haoting Xiaodu Celestial Galaxy, and incorporate the territory of tens of millions of light years into the territory of the empire!" There are also countless galaxies in the distant void, as long as the Imperial fleet can reach, it should become the territory of humanity! ”

Yun Yingxue opened her mouth, wanting to question it, but then she thought about it: Maybe he can really do it? This nephew of his own, who can fight for such a super empire from scratch in just a few years, who can say that he is not qualified to unify the sea of stars?

"Your Majesty!" Shuang Yan suddenly came in and announced, "The envoy group led by Princess Dai Yu'er, the first heir to the Bojiang Empire, has arrived in the Imperial Capital Star Domain and has asked for an immediate meeting with Your Majesty!" How do you reply? ”

Yun Haoyu said unexpectedly: "That princess? Is he finally here? Come to think of it, it's all at this time, and it's really too late if you don't come! ”

Yun Yingxue said a little nervously: "This group of Bojiang people is not good, I'm afraid I have to make some excessive demands to Your Majesty, it's better to ......"

"Don't worry," Yun Haoyu smiled indifferently, "No matter how powerful that princess is, I'm not afraid of her now, this is on our own territory after all!" What is there to worry about? ”

As he spoke, he said to Frost Yan, "You let Randall entertain them first, and I will arrive later!" ”

Princess Qi came to him, it should be for the matter of that treaty, but that thing had already been burned by him, and such harsh terms were impossible for a king with a normal nerve to accept! He's certainly no exception!

It's just that now, the Bojiang Empire is afraid that he has lost his patience, and this time he should have forced him to make a statement, if he still chooses to refuse, I'm afraid his trouble will never be smaller!

So, what kind of means will the other party come up with to punish him for his uncooperative attitude? I'm looking forward to it!
