Li Qing, the chief shipbuilding engineer, can work part-time on his own, and now he needs 2 senior shipbuilding engineers and 30 ordinary shipbuilding engineers to assist in the construction of frigates.

The salary of an ordinary shipbuilding engineer starts at about 30,000 yuan, which is the minimum standard, and if the work location is far from Jinmen, such as the shipyard work of a team like the Burning Ghost, an additional subsidy is required, about 35,000 to 40,000 yuan.

If there are some harsh conditions, such as being farther away, or signing a long-term contract for more than ten or twenty years, staying in a certain place for more than ten years and rarely coming back, the salary will be higher.

Filling all the docks requires nearly 100,000 shipbuilding engineers, and the salary alone is billions every month, and the salary of an ordinary shipbuilding engineer is much higher than that of the average crew member of a battleship.

Such an expenditure is definitely not something that Li Qing can afford now, even if he has money in the future, it will be an extremely high expense.

Taking precautions, Li Qing felt that he had to think about ways to save expenses as early as possible.

"Theory, such as, how, section, province, ship, factory, man, worker, open, support ....."

Fill in this query on a search engine, and soon a barrage of answers appears on the light curtain.

At a closer glance, most of them were meaningless answers.

However, on a forum that gathers a large number of battleship modification enthusiasts, I found an interesting suggestion.

There are trade unions, and it is impossible to pay less wages or withhold wages, but it can start from the source and directly subsidize some low-level civilians to enter professional engineering and shipbuilding colleges, and sign a contract in advance, stipulating that one party will fund their studies, and the other party must serve the sponsor for many years below the normal salary after completing their studies.

However, this method can only be signed for about 10 years at most, and then the salary will be gradually increased until it is equal to the normal salary.

In other words, you may be able to make some cheap money in this way, but the income is limited and not lasting.

In addition to that, there is a suggestion that seems to be useless.

That is to establish a development base, and when the scale of the base reaches a certain level, you can apply for development immigration.

At this time, there are two immigration methods, one is to accept immigration applications directly from within the United Empire of Mankind, and the other is to use genetic technology and fertilized eggs to breed new natural persons, and then set up new laws to open up territories, at this time, you can freely determine the salary and length of service of the cultivated natural persons.

You have to be ruthless, you can pay a penny of salary.

But the reason why this suggestion is called useless is mainly because it costs too much to establish a development base, and it can meet the conditions for development and immigration, which is not just an empty shell base.

Not to mention the living planet, it is necessary to build a space settlement station that can accommodate millions of people and achieve self-sufficiency in living materials before applying for pioneering immigration.

To build a self-sufficient standard space living station that can accommodate tens of millions of people, there is no need to think about trillions of star dollars, with this money, it can be paid for nearly 30 years, and a DI base can be built.

However, after reading this suggestion, Li Qing became interested.

It's a bit of a chicken for others, but for him....

Now this dock only has a capacity of 2300, but now the universe in the palm of the hand has begun to be repaired, and it will not be many years before the interior of the universe in the palm of the hand will have great changes, and by that time, if the 'Star Witness' high-dimensional fortress can be partially repaired, then wouldn't it be possible to emigrate?

You must know that this 'Star Witness' is a high-dimensional fortress, and it can also be used as a super-large colonized planet.

It can be understood as a war star, which can be used as a super war fortress or developed as a colony star.

When a high-dimensional fortress is partially repaired, it is possible to establish a colony in the location where it is repaired.

With the size of this high-dimensional fortress to be measured in astronomical units, a small area of space is larger than a planet if it is repaired.

However, with the particularity of the universe in the palm of the hand, it is not suitable to develop immigrants, and the best way is to use genetic technology to cultivate new natural people, who have lived in the universe in the palm since childhood, and will not yearn for the outside world.

It is worth mentioning that the reason why cloned humans and cyborgs are not used is because these two types of genes are incomplete and are not suitable for a high-IQ technical profession such as a naval engineer, and must be a natural person.

Li Qing weighed the two methods and felt that the second method was better, which could solve all problems at once.

But now the universe in the palm of your hand has not been repaired, and it cannot be implemented for the time being, so you can only remember it first and talk about it later.

A month and a half later, the Yu shipyard sent him a message that the destroyer he had ordered had been lined up and construction had begun.

His studies in the School of Engineering have also entered a state, and he either attends lectures online or goes to the college in person every day, and searches for information on the Internet in his spare time.

Under his hard work, with dozens of times the experience bonus, the experience of various disciplines has grown rapidly, and soon reached LV3 or LV4, and some are not far from LV5.

Normally, when these skills reach LV5, you can try to build ships, so in addition to studying, Li Qing now has to prepare drawings, materials, and recruit a group of ordinary shipbuilding engineers to prepare for the upcoming personal shipbuilding.

But just as he was about to go shopping in the trading market in his spare time, suddenly a pinned message appeared in the elite channel that had not been opened for a long time, and he only glanced at it and attracted all his attention.

"Exact news, the pioneer team has discovered alien civilizations and living planets in the Zutar star field!"

He immediately clicked into it and carefully checked the details of the post.

After reading it carefully, the look of surprise in Li Qing's eyes became more and more intense, and he muttered to himself:

"There are so many? My plan...."

The post is from the Yu family, similar to the official news, and there is no falsehood.

According to the news, a pioneer with a special innate talent entered the depths of the nebula of the Zutar Star Domain and discovered an alien civilization in the depths of the Dust Nebula, which is more than 2,000 light-years away from the Jinmen Province.

Initially just discovering a few remote mining stations, he continued to explore more outposts, as well as patrol fleets, and eventually discovered an alien civilization hidden in the depths of the Dust Nebula.

Entering a deeper exploration centered on this alien civilization was originally intended to explore the scope of its civilization, but at the intersection of this civilization, two other civilizations that were not much different were discovered.

In other words, three extraterrestrial civilizations with a technological level between the third and fourth generations have been discovered, and a total of eight life planets in the three civilizations have been preliminarily confirmed.

At this time, the elite channel was already boiling, and all the pioneers were excited.

What is the concept of eight living planets.

The entire province of Jinmen Province includes two natural planets in the capital Jinmen system, and there are a total of five life planets.

The United Empire of Humanity is overwhelmed, and some remote provinces may have only two or three living planets.

The entire United Empire of Humanity has not discovered a new planet of life for at least fifty years.

This means that these eight living planets can establish at least two provinces, and it is possible to give birth to one or two or even more military lords.

This also means that there are eight living planets for the Pioneers to grab and build a foundation on them.

This directly shocked Li Qing for a while, and then.... Some of them were moved.

Before, he thought that he would not get involved with Zutar's side, but now that he found that there were eight life planets there for them to fight for, he was a little nervous.

As long as he grabbed one, whether it was developed for his own use or sold, it would be a huge amount of money that he could not imagine.

Or take 10,000 steps back and say that you can't grab it if you don't have enough strength, then you can also cooperate with others to grab it, and then share a part of the equity according to the contribution.

In the future, if the captured planet is developed, you can continue to collect money while lying down, or directly sell your shares, which is also a huge amount of money in the tens of trillions.

It can be said that even one percent ownership of a living planet is a trillion starts.

Again, this refers to primitive and unexplored life planets, whether they are Class II or slightly worse Class III life planets.

If the planet has been developed, modified to be suitable for human habitation, and can already be immigrated, the price will instantly rise several times.

For example, one percent of the ownership of the Jinmen No. 1 Colonial Star can now be sold for twenty trillion.

However, this is still priceless, and it is impossible to buy it at all.

The post was full of excitement, I don't know how many people from the major families within the United Empire couldn't help but float up to comment under the post at this time, it was only more than ten minutes at this time, and there were already more than 100,000 messages.

And this news is also becoming more and more lively as more and more people see it, and even soon spread out of the circle for people outside the elite channel to know.

Soon, Li Qing saw the same news appear in the regional channel, and in less than a day, this matter became the most talked-about news in Jinmen Province, and almost everyone was talking about it.

This is obviously not a good thing.

Eight living planets, what an alluring thing.

Li Qing can be sure that the many forces that received the news at this time are now estimated to have summoned the high-level development of the forces and decided to enter the Zutar Star Domain.

It's big news for the average person, but it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for those teams with a certain level of strength.

Gather the strength of the team, once you can successfully take down a life planet, it will fly directly, and everyone at the top of the team can earn and die in a wave, and even change their fate directly.

"All family members staying in Jinmen, please return to the family office immediately!"

A group message from the second uncle Li Lun, he responded casually.

Obviously, the second uncle summoned all the members of the Qinghe Li clan who stayed in Jinmen, most likely for that news.

Li Qing did not ask for leave immediately, but listened carefully to this class before asking for leave for the later class, and then took the flying machine back to Jinmen Planet 1, the family office located in the fifth district.

A six-story building covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters, the aircraft was parked on the roof of the building, and when he opened the hatch and came out, he saw that many aircraft were parked on the roof, and there were four young clansmen he didn't know standing at the central staircase chatting, and he just nodded when he saw him.

I went down to the second floor, walked out of the hanging ladder, and saw more than 200 figures standing in the hall, most of them didn't recognize them, only a few had some impressions, including Li Lie, who also came back.

He was quite surprised how there were so many people, and at this time Li Lie happened to see him, and said to the two people who were chatting and walked over:

"Let's talk?"

Li Qing nodded, and pointed to one of the many small rooms on the side of the hall:

"Number 32."

"Let's go."

"By the way, why are there so many people this time, are we all back this time?"

Li Lie shook his head and said:

"Of course not, this is not a session, but a part of the last three families in Jinmen Province, and a large part of them have not yet received the news, and they will rush back one after another in a few months, and it is estimated that there will be thousands of people at that time."

"So much?"

"Of course, our Qinghe Li family has a big business, there are many branches, and the age difference between the three pioneers is more than ten years, so it is not a problem to get together tens of thousands of people."

Li Qing:

“.....”

Entering the small room, Li Lie closed the door, pointed to the coffee table in the center of the room and said:

"Let's talk."

There was a tea set on the coffee table, and the two of them did not distinguish between host and guest, he boiled water, and Li Lie sat down and said:

"You know the news at the top of the elite channel, the head of the family's office in Jinmen is my father, I know some inside information, this time the family summoned us for the purpose of uniting us to fight for a planet."

Li Qing didn't speak, waiting for Li Lie to continue:

"Of course, this is not much news, anyone can guess, the point is that my father told me that they had known about it as early as a week ago, and now the news has already reached the United Empire of Mankind, and the patriarch has convened a meeting of the high-level leaders of the various branches of the family, and has made a decision to set up a development fund with a full fifty trillion star dollars to support the family pioneers to seize a living planet."

"Tsk! Fifty trillion! ”

Even Li Qing couldn't help but smack his lips and said:

"It's not easy to take these fifty trillion, right?"

"Of course, it's not easy to get, the patriarch stipulates that any family pioneer can apply for the development fund, but the premise is to show your ability or strength or potential, any of which meets the standards can apply, and the specific application amount depends on the assessment of your ability, strength and potential."

"In addition, the patriarch encouraged us to form a team and apply for the development fund as a team, which is easier to apply for than individually."

Li Qing suddenly understood and asked:

"Do you want to join me in a team to apply?"

"That's right, I'm going to pull you and a few other acquaintances together to form a team and apply for the development fund in the form of a team."

"When the development fund is applied, when the time comes, it will be decided whether to continue to form a team to go to the Zutar Star Domain, or to part ways."

"Hmm...."

Li Qing pinched his chin and thought for a while, and asked:

"If I apply as a team, can I still apply individually?"

"Of course, the two are not in conflict."

"By the way, if you apply for the Pioneer Fund, you must go to the Zutar Star Field, which is a prerequisite."

"This..."

"Can I go later?"

"It can be delayed, but not too long, a year at most."

"Well, I'll think about it."

Then the two talked for a while, and he asked about the other people, and some interesting things that happened to the two of them during this time, and before they knew it, an hour passed, until he heard someone knock on the door and say that everyone was ready to let them out.
