246 Update
The new warship has been successfully developed, and the military industry department has fully opened its production capacity, and has made every effort to build it at the fastest speed, with quality and quantity, and gradually replace the old ships in service.
But here's the problem, the design service life of a space battleship is at least 30 years, 40 or 50 years is nothing at all, and there are many people in 70 or 80 years.
Don't you see, the strongest warship of mankind is the Star Boat that I don't know how many years it has used?
In short, the current Flame class is still a very fresh and tender new ship, if it is not for the interstellar environment is too harsh, if it is not for the pressure from the outside world, if it is not for the A civilization that may appear in the sight of mankind at any time, the military will never spend money to build new ships.
You must know that high technology is usually equated with high prices, and new warships are naturally no exception, and the cost price of a warship is about equal to 4.5 Flame class.
Good guy, you can't build a few ships by smashing pots and selling iron?
Dismantling the old ship and building a new ship is definitely a deal that loses its pants, and the military will not do this if it has no economic brains, and the combat effectiveness of the new ship has been greatly improved, so there is no need to continue to keep the old ship.
More importantly, a warship can do the work of several warships, and the number of crew and logistics personnel required is also reduced, and even the supply can be reduced by a large margin, whether it is in charge of resources or economic accounts, it is an extremely cost-effective deal.
According to preliminary calculations, the military can completely reduce the size of the fleet to less than 500 ships, and it can still ensure that its combat capability does not decline.
Therefore, the replacement of battleships is imperative.
Some people have proposed that the Flame class should be fully upgraded, after all, it is the main warship in active service, and since it has been in service, it has made great contributions to mankind, so it should be treated a little preferentially.
However, with this point of view, the vision is too short-sighted, because of the comprehensive progress of technology, the cost of upgrading a warship is not lower than that of a new one, so why waste time, effort, labor and money?
The military's approach is to sell all the old ships, yes, to sell.
It is said that the other friends on the Blue Star are very suitable objects, but no one thinks it is a good thing to do this.
Everyone was originally a competitor, and finally achieved a comprehensive victory, if the eliminated old ships were sold, it was equivalent to taking the initiative to hand the knife to the other party, and there would definitely be a group of more competitors in the future.
So, it certainly can't be digested inside the earth.
In this case, the only option is to sell to other civilizations.
I'd rather be friends than retainers, hehe, sometimes, things in this world are so weird.
Because of the emergence of new technologies, there is no need for the equipment on the Flame Class to continue to be kept secret, and external sales will not be limited due to technical problems.
The proposal was met with immediate and strong opposition for the simple reason that it would take time to update the equipment, and for years to come, the Flame-class would remain the main force of the fleet, and ships could not be sold until the fleet was reequipped, otherwise it would be a matter of handing over its secrets to the aliens.
However, the military is waiting for the rice to be put into the pot at this time, and if it does not sell the warships, it will have no money to build new ships, and the manufacture and renewal of new ships will be greatly slowed down, and the military cannot afford the result in any case.
After a long period of arguments and discussions, the military finally made up their minds: sell! ….
Dute Niang's backwardness, why don't you sell it and keep it? Is it rusty?
But who to sell to is to think carefully.
Relations must be close, distances must be far, prices must be high, in short, economic interests must be emphasized, but not human security.
All eligible civilizations are listed on a single table, even counting the Rolls.
But do the Rors need human warships? Definitely not!
Among them, there are some civilizations that do not have the need to buy warships at all, another part does not have the financial resources to buy warships, and some are not suitable for size.
This, again, crosses out most of civilization.
According to human standards, there is no goal left.
This is outrageous!
The end result is that the military finds out, if unwilling
Relax the conditions, and you won't find a suitable buyer.
And the conditions are right, it's hard to say whether the other party wants to buy it or not, even if the Flame class is indeed more advanced than the other party's active warships, and the other party also has the intention to buy it, but how many ships can be digested is still a very headache.
There are more than 2,000 ships, looking at the entire Xinwan Star Domain, which civilization can eat so many warships in one go?
Anyone with a little strength has been helped by the Rahr people in the anti-star beast war over the years, and almost all of them, like humans, are in a state of warship saturation.
After thinking about it, the military finally set its sights on those second-level civilizations that had a certain amount of strength, but had not yet been able to get out of the galaxy.
These civilizations are more numerous, have an urgent need to get out of the galaxy, most of them have a certain amount of financial resources, those who don't have financial resources have resources, and the most important thing is that they can sell at a high price!
Isn't this the perfect leek...... Phew, crossed out, the perfect lead?
There's nothing to say, now that the decision has been made, let's get into action right away, and hundreds of warships have been given a new mission - to sell warships to second-class civilizations within a known range!
It's complicated to say, but in reality, it's a very simple job.
As long as you drive the battleship to the sky above the target planet, destroy an asteroid or other celestial body at will, and then take the local natives to fly around in the starry sky, and finally say that as long as you pay something, you can have a warship of the same style, etc., it is easy to complete a successful sales pitch.
It doesn't matter if the price is a little lower, the key is that the logistics and maintenance must be firmly in hand.
This hand is the best at it.
The military doesn't have to waste brain cells at all, engage in any marketing plans, and directly take out those mature plans, and casually fool those alien natives who have never seen it.
However, before it was officially sold, the Rohr people actually came to the door and asked to adjust the price to buy the flame class, which confused everyone.
Didn't the Rolls need these ships?
But after thinking about it, I understood that the human warship was produced by the earth, and it was naturally the best thing to use, so a large number of precious elements were used on the ship.
That is, on the periodic table, the metallic or non-metallic elements are arranged after iron, and the higher the atomic weight, the more precious.
There is a general lack of precious elements in the universe, and the reason why many civilizations can't get out of the home planet is not because the technical level cannot be reached, but because they are limited by the problem of the elements.
The military finally understood what the problem was, and the price of the old ship naturally needed to be greatly increased, and in addition, all the equipment that needed to be replaced should also be dismantled and replaced, and only the power should be retained, and the system that could not be moved should be retained.
That's it, it has to be called for the sake of the other party, so that buyers can improve and upgrade.
After a series of twists and turns, the Flame class, which I thought would definitely be smashed in my hand, was carved up in just a few days, and the Rohr people alone ordered more than 1,000 ships, which can be regarded as solving the urgent needs of the military, and the upgrading of new warships has finally entered the fast lane!
