It's similar to the kind of large-scale team activity they used to gather the whole team to make up two trillion star yuan runners, once a year, last year it was a runner, and this time I don't know what it is.

There are still three months left in the event, and it will not take half a month to travel back to the Jialan headquarters from here at full speed, so you don't need to.

Li Qing replied in the empty team channel:

"I'll be back on time!"

With the strength of their team and the relationship between the team commanders, the large-scale team activities prepared are still worth looking forward to.

Turning off the communications, Li Qing exhaled lightly, and was just about to go back to the outpost, buy some weapons and accessories, and arm the two cruisers, six destroyers, and twenty-six frigates that had been repaired.

In addition, after half a year of accumulation, many of his shipbuilding skills and modification skills have made huge breakthroughs.

The shipbuilding skills have been upgraded to LV11, and it is already possible to build destroyers and elite Mengfowl and excellent Black Hawk-class frigates, and now the shipyard in the palm of the universe has started construction two months ago, and now two batches of 20 destroyers have been built.

In addition, his modification technology has improved dramatically, and he can now convert standard Tornado-class destroyers.

The progress visible to the naked eye can see the gradually approaching end, which makes Li Qing high-spirited and full of energy.

On this trip, in addition to arming two cruisers and destroyers to participate in large-scale team activities, when the team activities are over, he plans to sell all the frigates built in the shipyard to save more money to buy a batch of industrial equipment that can be used for the expansion of the base, as well as a large number of blueprints and materials for various ship weapon accessories.

He plans to put on the agenda the manufacture of weapons and various general accessories for various ships, as well as thrusters, jump engines, and other accessories.

To put it bluntly, he felt that there was something missing in the light shipbuilding, and the dense bare ships existed in the universe in the palm of his hand, and they couldn't be used just by looking at them.

If a battleship can be equipped with all the hulls to weapons and other configurations in one stop, the battleship can be built to fight, not only can you earn more money by selling, these ships can stay in the universe in the palm of your hand, and you can immediately pull them out to come in handy when you lack a battleship.

This is also the way to go, such a large dock array, you can't just build bare ships all the time.

In addition, he is going to expand the base in the warehouse area inside the universe in his palm, he can't afford to develop it all, but he can still afford to develop one floor and build a large industrial area and a large living area.

Not to mention the industrial area, the living area is mainly for naval engineers and clones, and he plans to build a habitable layer on a certain level of the warehouse area, and then breed a large number of clones.

The high-IQ job of a shipbuilding engineer can only be used by natural people, and this money can only be recruited before obtaining the permission of immigrant natural persons, which can't be helped, but all kinds of clone crews, clone workers, clone ground forces, etc., which are destined to consume huge in the future, and I don't know how much it will cost to buy it all the time, so it is better to build a livable city and cultivate it yourself.

Compared with the stricter requirements for the rights of immigrant natural persons, the need for simple cultivation of clones is much lower.

First of all, you need to build a habitable colony base, or a space habitation station, and then get the cloning license issued by the major provinces, and then enough capital.

He has a habitable place, even if he doesn't need to hold the warehouse habitable layer in the universe in his hand, he can use the small ecosystem in the base he has established to apply.

Although it is a bit that such a small place is used to apply for the creation of a clone, it is another matter whether it is or not, as long as the reasons for the application can be established.

As for the cloning cultivation license decree, it generally needs to reach a certain level of prestige in the major provinces, and this is not difficult, the prestige of Jinmen Province is not high, but his reputation in the expeditionary force is quite high, and the previous times he ran the merchant was in his name, and now the reputation accumulated is not much different, and it is estimated that the prestige of working hard a few more times is about the same.

As for the final cost......

There are two points of cost here, one is the cost of setting up a genetic laboratory and gene bank, and the cost of cultivating clones.

Another point is to purchase the mother chip of the clone cultivation technology, only with this technology mother chip, can the clone be cultivated without restrictions and infinitely.

It is worth mentioning that if he breeds a clone now, he can only use it for his own use and cannot sell it, so he needs a clone sale license.

For example, in Jinmen, generally only important members of the Jinmen Yu clan will sell their licenses to make this windfall money.

It's a huge profit, as long as the cultivation base is built, it can cost a few dollars to cultivate clones, plus the cost of loading a whole set of skills brain inserts is tens of thousands, and any clone worker can sell it for 100,000, and this clone is cultivated in a batch of 100,000 million, which is completely profiteering.

Everywhere, a monopoly is a profiteering.

On the fifth day after receiving the message from the team, Li Qing arranged this side of the matter and sealed the exit of the base that had been emptied on the first floor.

There won't be a few people coming to this galaxy itself, and when the dust blows, the radar can't scan it at all.

I don't know what danger will be on the next floor of the base, so I just go back now to prepare more, and dig again when I come back.

The base was also briefly arranged, and after recovering all the wreckage of the battleships collected by the industrial ships, he left three destroyers and ten frigates to defend the base, and set off with the remaining two destroyers and nine frigates and embarked on the way back.

It's much faster to go back than when you came, you don't need to explore anything, you can jump when you get out of the star gate, and you can't jump at sub-light speed.

The nearest few galaxies are unable to jump, and can only pass through at sub-light speeds, and when the interference of the nebula across several galaxies is reduced, the jump back will immediately begin.

In just eleven days, a fleet of two destroyers and eight frigates appeared in the Galan system.

A frigate was surrounded by a fleet of pirates cruising at the entrance of the wormhole while exploring its path, and died a heroic death.

This is unavoidable, the fleet is too small to go through the wormhole directly, you must send two ships to investigate first, if there is a pirate fleet on the edge of the wormhole, whether it is to seduce or lure away the pirate fleet will be risky, and the probability of damage is not small.

Back in the Garan Galaxy, it's not much different from when I left before, there are still two months left for the team's large-scale event, it's still early, and everyone hasn't rushed back yet.

Li Lie and Li Qi were not there, but Li Zhenghai was in Jialan Star Fort in their team, Li Qing asked him, and learned that Li Lie, Li Qi and others were now in the base north of Star Fort, and sent him the base coordinates.

After taking a turn around the Gallant Star Castle and making a report, the fleet set off again for the outpost.

It took four days to jump back to the outpost system, where the fleet was anchored in a system on the edge of the outpost, and only one destroyer sailed into the outpost.

The battleship docked into Star City, connected to the expeditionary force trading network, and sold some of the loot in hand first.

The third-generation laser cannon can be made and sold 25 times, and the unit price is 350,000, a total of 8.75 million.

A total of 4.7 units of star nuclear matter, 500 million units, a total of 2.35 billion star dollars.

A total of 900 Haiyan-class frigates accumulated in eight months, 25 million bare ships on the outpost's side, a premium of 25%, a total of 22.5 billion star yuan.

After deducting the cost of 14 million * 900 ships, a total of 12.6 billion, the net profit was 9.9 billion star yuan.

A total of 20 destroyers, the unit price of Tianjin Gate is 150 million, the same premium is 25%, a single ship is 187.5 million star yuan, and 20 ships have a total of 3.75 billion star yuan.

After deducting the cost of 105 million * 20 ships, a total of 2.1 billion, the net profit was 1.65 billion star yuan.

Taken together, the trip earned a total of 29,48.75 million star dollars, deducting costs, deducting various wages and maintenance expenses for the past eight months, totaling about 2.1 billion yuan, and a net profit of 11,88.75 million star dollars.

So far, Li Qing's current capital is 58,973.8 million star dollars.

As with the previous plan, a large number of blueprints for weapons and accessories at all levels were purchased through the Expeditionary Force Trading Network, ranging from small Slot laser cannons, electromagnetic guns, machine guns, P-slot point defense, M medium weapons, large L large laser cannons and electromagnetic guns, and L-slot main guns.

As well as a large number of S small, M medium, L large general purpose slots.

From frigates to cruiser reactors, hyperspace engines, thrusters and radar sensors, combat computers, and a variety of A-type functional slot accessories.

From blueprints to building materials, a ship can be purchased in sets.

A set of standard Haiyan frigates in addition to the ship itself, a complete set of drawings needs about 13.5 million, and all the material costs add up to about 81 million, a total of about 94.5 million, plus the frigate blueprint + shipbuilding materials about 14 million, plus the salary of shipbuilding engineers and arsenal engineers is about 1.2 million + 10.25 million, a total of 119.95 million.

And a top-of-the-line fifth-generation technology frigate + modification will cost about 155 million in total, and if you build it yourself, you can save 35.05 million.

If it is not modified, the total cost will drop to about 142 million, and after deducting various costs, it can earn about 32 million.

Well, to be precise, only he can earn so much, and other players who have private shipyards can't earn so much even if they build everything from ships to weapons, universal slots, and various functional slot accessories.

The reason is very simple, other players don't have a high-level dock like him, and it takes two months to build a frigate normally, but he only uses one month, saving a whole month's salary of a total of 11.45 million.

But it's still very profitable.

So when he came back this time, Li Qing directly recruited ten groups of arsenal engineers.

This Arsenal Engineer is able to operate the Arsenal machines to create a variety of weapons, a variety of generic accessories, from a ship's reactor to jump engines, thrusters, radars, combat systems, and more, including all the usual parts of a ship up to X slot.

There are two kinds of engineers in this kind of arsenal, one is that they can build five generations of weapon parts level one, and the other is that they can only build four generations and below, and their salaries are also slightly different.

Chief Engineer of the Arsenal, monthly salary of 1 million/1.5 million.

Senior engineer of the arsenal, with a monthly salary of 150,000/250,000.

Ordinary engineer in the arsenal, monthly salary of 30,000/50,000.

In the front are ordinary engineers of less than four generations, and in the back are senior engineers who can build weapons accessories of five generations.

Li Qing recruited all the latter's senior engineers, each group consisted of 1 chief engineer, 5 senior engineers, and 150 ordinary engineers, with a monthly salary of 10.25 million, and a total of ten groups were recruited, with a salary of 102.5 million per month.

They can complete the manufacture of all the parts of a frigate every month, and all the parts of a destroyer in two months.

That is to say, after recruiting ten groups, as long as there are enough blueprints and materials, ten top frigates that have completed all configurations can be shipped every month, and if they are all equipped with energy weapons, as long as there are enough crews, they can be pulled out to fight immediately.

This means that it will not be long before both his earning power and his war potential will be qualitatively improved.

Think about it, in just one year, you can have thousands of fifth-generation full-fledged frigates in the universe in your palm, and they can be pulled out to fight at any time, what does it mean.

And this is just the beginning, as long as the drawings and shipbuilding materials can keep up, it will be no problem to stock tens of thousands of ships.

In the foreseeable future, wages and maintenance are no longer the big problems that plague his strength, even if he can't expand wantonly now, but as his accumulation becomes stronger and stronger, it won't take many years to make enough money, and the basic market will gradually expand, and it will always slowly reach the point of tens of billions or even tens of billions of monthly income.

When the original capital is not a problem, the speed of expansion will be very exaggerated, and at that time, the only thing that can limit his development may be market restrictions.

After all, he couldn't take the entire market.

When he produces a certain number of warships every month, it will definitely attract the attention of other arms dealers, the biggest arms dealer on the side of Jinmen and Zutar is the Yu family, he can't compete for others, at most squeeze other individual players or arms dealers who are not strong enough behind him to share a piece of meat in this big market, and it is impossible to squeeze those big arms dealers.

There's no way, the rules are set by them, and they have the ability to flip the table and rewrite the rules at any time, even if he has the comprehensive strength comparable to the military lord and gate lord giant, he can't do it.

"Okay!"

Li Qing felt that he was thinking too much and too far, even if it really came to that day, it would be twenty or thirty years later, and he might not be able to say if he was in Jinmen at that time.

If he really has the strength comparable to the giants of the military lords, he must have formed his own fleet and left Jinmen and entered the more distant star fields to explore.

Zutar is located between the Jinmen and the belly of the United Empire of Mankind, and is covered by nebulae, and has limited development potential, at least in his opinion, the potential is limited, he wants to develop his own territory, it will definitely not be here, this is just the place where he started in the early stage, and he will definitely have to change places after the rise.

Either go north and unite with the civilization of Bruwan, or go south to the Timol Star Domain to deal with the Kail Zaka Star Sea Empire civilization between the Immortal Spiral Arm and the central astrolabe star field of the galaxy.

No matter which civilization is defeated, the territory of the entire United Empire of Mankind will be greatly expanded, and eating the corpse of any alien civilization that is not inferior to human civilization will make the overall strength of human civilization much stronger in a short period of time, and he will inevitably eat the fattest piece of meat.

Li Qing stayed in the outpost for half a month, endured the price of the outpost side that was 50% higher than that of Jinmen, and bought two cruisers * 300 clone crews, 20 destroyers * 100 clone crews, 50 frigates * 50 clone crews, a total of 600 + 2000 + 2500 = 5100 clone crews.
