Chapter 35: The Last Run and Preparations

Although the team is not a legion, the Garan team is on par with the legion in this regard.

The peripheral members did not report losses, the loss rate of ordinary members was 10%, the loss rate of elite members was 15%, the loss rate of core members was 25%, and the loss rate of the head and deputy head of the regiment was 30%.

This so-called loss report means that the loss of the battleship due to the team's behavior will be reimbursed according to the percentage of the total price of the battleship.

For example, Li Qing's total price of a fully equipped frigate is 150 million, and the core members report a loss rate of 25%, if the battleship sinks because of team fighting, the team will reimburse him 25% of the total price of 150 million, a total of 37.5 million.

If you add that the insurance is also up to 25% of the loss, you can be reimbursed up to 50%.

Note that the premise of this loss report is because of team behavior, such as team activities, or being sunk by invading enemies in the territory of the team's controlled galaxy, etc., if it is a private act, such as driving a battleship to a dangerous galaxy adventure and sinking, or accidentally sinking while digging a grave, etc., by the way, Li Lie's previous business was a private act, so the team of six destroyers that sank will not be reported, and only insurance can reimburse part of it.

Li Qing didn't stay in the Canaan system for long, and after getting to know the team in general and getting to know each other the many core and important middle-level members of the team, he left the Canaan system and returned to the outpost.

In fact, most of the members of the team are not in the Canaan galaxy now, either going back and forth between Jinmen and the outpost to run merchants to make money, or mining in the team to control the star field, and some of the people who follow the war flow receive tasks at the outpost, enter the combat area and fight with the fleets united by the alien Shata tribes, etc.

There are a lot of team activities, but most of them are small activities jointly organized by team members, like the previous running activities that have enough goods of 2 trillion star yuan, usually once a year.

Back at the outpost, Li Lie and the others already knew that he had joined Jialan and had become one of the core members of Jialan.

In the communication channel, Li Lie's expression was a little complicated, and he sighed:

"I joined Jialan earlier than you, and now I'm just a middle-level, and as soon as you enter, you're a high-level, it's really more human than human, and it's infuriating."

Li Qing shrugged his shoulders and did not speak.

However, Li Lie also sighed, he was in a very good mood, and after less than a minute of entanglement, he talked to him with great interest about the information he had learned at the outpost in the past few days.

"In the past few days, the price of food in the outpost has dropped a little, and when we go back and forth for four months, it is estimated that the price will be lower, and there will not be much money.

"A frigate bare ship can be sold for 20 million in Jinmen, and it can be sold for 25 million here, making about 5 million profits."

"The key is that this thing is in high demand, there are wars every day in the area where the outpost is in joint war with the Shata tribe, and there are war losses every day, this thing is as much as it wants, unlike food that will be saturated, this will not be saturated, even if it is lacking in a hundred years, it can be done for a long time."

At this time, Li Qi, who had not spoken, opened his mouth and said:

"But the threshold for doing this demand is too high, where do we find so many warships?"

"That's where the trouble comes in."

Li Lie sighed and said:

"Now the channels for selling warships in Jinmen are in addition to the official shipyard in Jinmen, most of them are the private shipyards of some players, although the output of the official shipyard is high, but there are too many people who order, it is impossible for us to make money by changing ships, we can only find some private shipyards."

"But the output of private shipyards is not high, and the price is about 10% higher than the market price, unless a few private shipyards can be found to package all the warships they produce to make some profits."

Li Qi shook his head and said:

"That's impossible, the private shipyards over there in Jinmen have already united to set up a chamber of commerce to jointly manipulate prices, and we can't get involved in this little fight."

"That's a shame."

"Is shipbuilding so profitable?"

Li Qing muttered to himself.

What he thought of was that if a frigate on the outpost side could be sold for 25 million star yuan, it would cost about 21 million to 22 million yuan to buy it directly on the Jinmen side, and one could only earn about 3 million yuan.

But he has a super dock on hand, and the cost of a ship is only about 16 million, and he can make as much as 9 million by selling it to the outpost.

One can earn 9 million, 10 90 million, 100 900 million, 1,000 9 billion.

"Well, the frigate still earns too little."

But to say that, Li Qing was already moved.

For no other reason, I just don't want to run the business all the time.

Four months at a time, three trips a year, all the time spent running back and forth, nothing else.

It's different if you change to shipbuilding, the shipyard is in the universe in the palm of your hand, as long as you prepare enough ship blueprints and materials, you can build a ship, and it doesn't affect him to do other things.

Key shipbuilding can also improve his shipbuilding level, now he can only build frigates, and the efficiency of making money is limited, and when he can build destroyers, cruisers, and even battleships, then it will be the beginning of big profits.

"Yes, that's it!"

Li Qing made up his mind, looked up at Li Lie and Li Qi in the communication channel, the two of them in the channel, representing their respective small teams, he carefully conceived a rhetoric, and said:

"I'm going to take you on one more run, earn another wave, and then I'm going to find a galaxy near the team's control field to build a mining base here at the outpost."

Li Lie and Li Qi were both a little surprised, but they weren't too surprised, which was what they expected, but they didn't expect him to quit so soon.

Li Lie thought for a moment and said:

"Even if it's the last time, it's better to do a big wave and help the team form a super caravan like before."

李其也says:

"And by doing so, you can also increase your prestige and status in the team."

Li Qing shook his head when he heard this:

"Nope."

"Why not, and we have to pay 100 billion tolls every time, and it's better for someone else to earn this money than for you."

Li Qing smiled:

"You think that 100 billion is just a toll?"

In the past, he thought it was a toll, but since he became a core member of Garan, he also knew some inside stories that only the core members knew.

For example, before they paid 100 billion to ask the Bluefish Clan of the sixteen clans of the Lester Pirate Group to escort them through the Lester Pirate Group to control the star field, outsiders thought that they spent 100 billion star yuan to buy the road, but in fact it was not just the road money, the focus was to support the Bluefish Clan reasonably.

The reason is very simple, the establishment of the Blue Fish Clan has a certain relationship with the Jinmen Yu Clan.

To put it bluntly, the Lester Pirate Group originally had only thirteen clans, and since the humans established an outpost in the Zutar Star Domain and launched a war with the combined civilization of the Shata tribe, players can join the camp of the Lester Pirate Group, the Jinmen Yu clan has decisively invested a lot of human resources to open up its reputation in the Lester Pirate Group and form a new pirate clan.

Having a pirate group that is not inferior in strength to the United Civilization of the Shata tribe has a force of its own, and has a good relationship with this force, which can play a huge role in certain critical times.

So this money can't be saved, and he can't earn it.

Of course, he can't say this kind of secret directly, but Li Lie and Li Qi are both smart people, and he just mentioned the two of them a little to understand, and he didn't insist on it anymore.

However, the team can't make this money, other people's money can be earned, and when you return to Tianjin, you can find a large caravan to cooperate with once, and you can earn it once.

Two months later, a medium-sized fleet sailed into the Tsumen system.

The fleet was anchored in Starport, and everyone went their separate ways to prepare.

Li Qing directly connected to the regional channel, connected to the network, and directly searched for what he wanted on the trading platform.

First of all, it spent 5.2 billion star dollars to buy 10 small transport ships, 10 medium transport ships, 5 mammoth-class large transport ships, and 1 Ferry class super large transport ship.

and a total of 6 billion star dollars purchased 5 small industrial ships, 2 medium industrial ships, 2 large industrial ships, and 1 super large industrial ship.

Then there were 30 large mining vessels, which cost a total of 24 billion star dollars.

Three sets of large-scale crushing, screening and refining ore equipment, with a unit price of 1.1 billion yuan, a total of 3.3 billion yuan.

All combined, a total of 38.5 billion star dollars were spent, and the remaining 67 billion star dollars remained.

Then, 5 billion star dollars were set aside for salary payment and emergency purposes, and the remaining funds were all used to purchase blueprints and construction materials for frigates and destroyers, and a total of 2,000 frigate blueprints and materials were purchased, spending 4 billion + 24 billion star dollars respectively.

Together with the 500 frigates purchased before, a lot has been built these days, and now there are 400 sets left, a total of 2,400 sets and 100 finished frigates are moored in the dock of the palm universe.

and 200 destroyer blueprints and materials, which cost 3 billion + 18 billion star dollars respectively, for a total of 21 billion star dollars.

Then, five super-large cold storages were ordered, as well as various foods with a total value of nearly 500 million yuan, and daily necessities with a total value of 1 billion.

Then, through the relationship between the Jialan team, at a price of 750 million star yuan, he directly obtained four top-of-the-line Tornado-class destroyers from Yu's shipyard, and the weapon configuration was the same as that of the Hurricane-class destroyer he had, mainly kinetic weapons.

Then he spent 1300000000 star yuan below the market price to equip a complete set of Haiyan frigate configurations, a total of 20 sets, and later it can be directly installed on the bare frigate he already has.

Four destroyers cost 3 billion, and 20 frigates were fully equipped with a total of 2.6 billion star dollars.

Then, 100 base L-slot kinetic energy main gun shells were purchased, which cost a total of 200 million star dollars.

The 300 base L-slot large moving artillery shells cost a total of 240 million star dollars.

1000 base M medium kinetic energy shells, costing a total of 300 million star dollars.

5,000 base S small moving artillery shells, costing a total of 750 million star dollars.

1,000 base cannon shells cost a total of 750 million star dollars.

200 base P-slot points to prevent shelling bullets, costing a total of 200 million star dollars.

Combined, it totaled 2.44 billion star dollars.

Then I bought 50,000 energy blocks containing 100,000 standard energy, in addition to quickly charging the energy shield, this thing can also be used in many ways, one hundred thousand star dollars, 50,000 yuan for a total of 5 billion star dollars.

Combined, a total of 24 billion + 21 billion + 500 million + 1 billion + 3 billion + 2.6 billion + 2.44 billion + 5 billion were spent, a total of 59.54 billion star dollars.

The remaining 67 billion star dollars were spent at once, and only 7.46 billion star dollars remained.

Then, they ordered a medium-sized steel refining furnace for S$1 billion and a medium-alloy furnace for S$1.5 billion.

The Steel Furnace further refines the ore into steel, and the Alloy Furnace smelts steel and other elements into a stronger alloy, or remelts the collected shipwreckage into alloy.

From collecting primordial ore, to crushing and refining it into refined ore, to refining it into steel, and then smelting it into alloy, and finally sending it to the arsenal in the high-dimensional dock in the universe in the palm of your hand, where it can be directly processed into various cannonballs.

In one step, you can save a lot of money on buying ammunition back and forth.

Soon Li Qing found that the remaining 4.9 billion star dollars might not be saved, and he had to recruit a group of shipbuilding engineers.

Prepared 2,400 sets of frigate blueprints and materials, it is inevitable to expand the scale, otherwise only ten ships can be built in one round, and 2400 ships need 240 rounds, that is, 240 months, which will have to be built in the Year of the Monkey.

"Expand, must expand!"

It was also through the relationship of the Jialan team that a large number of crew members were directly recruited in the Jinmen Academy District.

Among them, there are ten groups of destroyer shipbuilding engineers, including 1 chief engineer with a monthly salary of 2 million, and 40 senior engineers who build destroyers with a monthly salary of 300,000, a total monthly salary of 12 million.

The frigate shipbuilding team has also been greatly expanded, from the original 10 groups to 100 groups in one go.

9 chief engineers were recruited, with a monthly salary of 1.2 million, a total of 10.8 million, 200 frigate senior engineers, with a monthly salary of 200,000, a total of 40 million, and ordinary crew members were common to all types of ships, regardless of frigates or battleships, and a total of 3,600 were recruited, with a total monthly salary of 144 million.

It is worth mentioning that the salary of the ordinary shipbuilding engineer he originally recruited was 50,000 a month, but through the relationship of the Yu family, he was directly recruited from the Academy City, not only was all recruited in one go, but even the salary was reduced by 10,000, which directly saved a lot of money.

After all the recruitment, he paid a salary of 208.8 million star yuan every month.

The buyout price of 1,550 clone crew members is 3100000, plus the crew salaries and maintenance fees of 5 destroyers and 21 frigates are 11.25 million + 21 million respectively, a total of 32.25 million, and the total salary is 241.05 million star yuan.

"A salary of 240 million star dollars per month...."

Li Qing counted his current net worth, and he insisted on running out of money for two years.

No wonder it is said that war is to burn money, as soon as the cannon goes off, ten thousand taels of gold, a shell will knock out a month's salary of ordinary people, and it is really difficult to raise a fleet.

He only has 26 ships, and he doesn't have a big ship yet, so it costs 32.25 million star yuan to raise a fleet every month.

Those teams with hundreds of large and small warships need to spend billions or even billions of dollars every month to raise their fleets, which is simply terrifying.

The more I grow, the more I feel that the money is not enough.

Fortunately, although the cost was a lot, it also made a lot of money, and these 2,400 frigates and 200 destroyers were all built and sold, and they immediately made a lot of money.

If you don't sell the Jinmen side, just sell the outpost side, a frigate can earn nearly 10 million, and 2,400 ships can earn 24 billion.

And the destroyer is even more profitable, saving the shipyard usage fee and various channel fees, a destroyer can earn about 30 million, and it can earn an additional 30% when it is transported to the outpost, which is 45 million, a total of about 75 million, and 200 destroyers can earn 15 billion.
