Chapter 487: Money Drives Everything
Don't underestimate the speed of building ships of the ancients, but don't overestimate it. Ships from the ancient Greek period could reach 36 meters and be as wide as 5 meters, which was rare in ancient times with wooden structures. Pompeii once pulled out 500 ships larger than the above in three months, and the time has passed for so long. And it's also the productivity of the magic world, if it's not as good as the physical world, then you can pull it out and retrain it.
Therefore, the shipbuilding competition of various countries is going on, and a while ago, the first country in Europe, because of the need to guard against natural disasters and undead and zerg that may cross the sea at any time, began a large-scale construction plan with the kingdoms of the Spanish Peninsula where the Umayyad Dynasty was at war. The plan clearly states that all countries will build 35 large warships and 120 small and medium-sized warships within three months -- this large is a three-masted ocean-going warship with a length of 100 meters. Small and medium-sized warships are the kind of thirty or fifty meters long to make soy sauce -- the countries of the world who watched it were stunned for a moment, and they all gave a thumbs up and gave a kind of admiration to the king of enamel: rich and capricious!
Now that the problem of the scourge of the undead and the Zerg has been resolved, the Holy War is over. Although the plan ran aground and was cut down, the emerging Britain took the other country's ship-building capability in its eyes and kept it in mind, and scolded its mother---It was founded on the sea, but why did the country of Enamel repeatedly want to touch its own bottom line? Although it never intended to fight head-on with the country, the largest country on the European continent, of course, it could not be defeated -- but this is not forcing me to compare the speed and quality of shipbuilding with you?
Cybertron felt that the anthropomorphism of large warships was an opportunity for him in this magical world, but Fran ensured that he could easily carry out this somewhat inhumane creature realization. At this moment, it is time for this arms race of biological and chemical weapons to begin!
"The only problem we have is genetic instability and uncertainty, which is a headache. ”
Next to the "pool of blood", Fran commanded a group of cats about half a meter tall to run around, and the final [quack] cries of these cats continued to come out of their throats. "I'm thinking about how to solve this problem and invest in the essences, substances, and 'refining extracts' that are necessary for evolution," she said unconsciously. Modify souls in the soul furnace and rehearse evolution in the gene fragmentation room to achieve a more suitable result. It's a pity that science is never perfect, only the pursuit of perfection, and there is no absolute perfection. So our warships are always stronger, not the strongest - but they are bottlenecks. Now the gene chain I have researched is like this, there is no way, so I can only survive the fittest, let the soul and essence compete for natural selection in it, and I don't know what will come out. ”
“...... Can you pick some words that we can understand?" Obviously, Miss Rin and Miss Ellie didn't quite understand what the other was saying, as most of these words were invented by Fran.
"Hmm......" Fran was stunned, so she didn't plan to explain anything like "cruel rules of survival", "smashing souls", "crushing flesh and remanufacturing". So she said, "You are the new Admiral, so you only need to ...... Put four 'ingredients' that have already been synthesized into 'blood'...... Well, among the 'shipyards'. Order: [Build], and we will consume the spirit (soul refining aggregate) ...... 'blueprint' - as the Admiral, would you like to try it first?"
"That's fine...... What do you mean?" Ellie put her hand on the guardrail with interest, there are many places in this large soul refining fire furnace room that cannot be directly entered, Ellie, as the princess of the kingdom, just gave orders from a distance, she slowly walked to a place similar to the control platform, as a native of the wizarding world, she didn't understand science very well: "It's strange, what is this...... Balls?"
"Well, Lady Ellie, this is the [button], which can be flipped up and down. I build yì you enter the meat ...... Well, 400 units of wood material......; Well, 600 units of consumables......; Well, 600 units of rare metal......s; Well, accelerator 230 units. ”
Of course, the Admiral can only show the superficial side, what Fran wants to say is what must be done to build a war weapon creature, and it is a joke to make a living body? , call the mass-produced soul explosion element collection a consumable, the quenching essence a rare metal, and the biomass an accelerator.
"I don't understand, you pseudo-magic is weird, you have to use this weird scientific key. I thought it had been eliminated by the times a long time ago, isn't it good to use some magic scrolls? Ellie sighed, but fortunately the young lady's temper had passed a lot, and now even if she was unhappy, she only said that she had honed herself on the way to get her "father".
That's how Alice Fell planned, but she didn't expect that the first task for her baby daughter would be to be the Admiral of the Flesh Factory. If the queen had gone to the town guard mansion in person, she might have seen through the scene in front of her at a glance.
Ellie said as she typed in a few numbers and pressed enter.
The fate of a new life was born.
Birth is birth.
"Okay, construction will begin immediately—" Fran waved his hand and motioned for the fourteen peasants below to descend into the pool of blood - and start building.
“...... Is this the blueprint?" Ellie asked, puzzled, "What am I doing here?" - what about the battleship?"
"The battleship is about to appear, this is my gift...... Very expensive, rare metal flesh catalyst...... Ah, the 'worker bees' over there!" Fran suddenly shouted to the cute cat in peasant clothes below, "Put the gate down to me......! Don't scare the Admiral, put a tranquilizer in me, and insert the tube into the large hemp extract when the armor plate is formed and installed!--It will be loud when the construction is accelerated. ”
Fran looked back at Ellie and said, "Alright, I'll only provide you with an accelerator for such a ship." It's worth a lot of money, your mother gave me 150,000 gold coins, and then another 150,000 - such an accelerator can account for about one-fifth of the gold price...... It's not even about the market price fluctuation, because these accelerator substances are extracted from the deep sea, which is really difficult to obtain......"
"...... so expensive?" even the princess of a business empire is not blowing tens of thousands of gold coins, especially if she doesn't know the price of firewood and rice, she will find it difficult to make money after she has her own small business.
And Rin on the side has entered a state of [hehe] - 300,000 gold coins!
Rin felt that he was selling himself now, and it was not as expensive as the ship he was building.
"It's very expensive. "But I'm more corrupt - I still have a lot more to work on, and Fran thinks she's gone bad too—but it's for science, isn't it?" I don't know what size of battleship will appear, but I just know how to add a little more ...... Uh, rare metal or something, less meat...... Well, wood or something, maybe it helps with some construction. I'll look at you...... You're lucky, huh?"
Fran clapped her hands and burst out laughing. Because she saw the [eggs] that were [incubating], she said to Ellie, "The completion time, four thousand three hundred and fifty man-hours, that is, one hundred and eighty-one days." ”
“...... What are you kidding!—Didn't you say it would be built right away?—" Ellie was quite upset.
"Uh, Your Highness. Rin gently took Ellie's hand and said, "Building a battleship only takes six months is a very short time. But...... If we build ships on a large scale, this speed should still be a bit ......."
"Rin-sama is right, but Ellie-sama is also right—anything as long as you're willing to spend money. What they said was also true, and Fran twisted the screws on her head vigorously to make everyone remember her true identity as Frankenstein: "I have seen the price of building ships on the European continent, and one ship is almost more than 30,000 gold coins, ranging from 13,000 to 20,000. A three-pole galleys cost about 50,000 gold coins or more, which is only the approximate price of huàn, because there will be other problems with wood and the like, and it is said that 1,800 oaks were used to build a warship. Plus crew training and so on...... The cost of our ship is about the same, and the maintenance cost is not far behind, but ...... In terms of personnel training, however, they are often much better! We basically do not need personnel training. Or that training one person is equivalent to training an entire ship...... Oh, there has been, boom, boom, boom......, boom, It's too expensive, it's easy to do with money. ”
You can buy the best things with money...... Sure enough, the world is all about money, money, and more money.
"Ah, are you my Admiral?--really, it's better to finally come out than to stay in the shipyard and training grounds. ”
The floodgates of the blood pool were opened, and the soundproofing that had been put down was removed. A blonde girl with a height about the same height as an ordinary person stood in front of everyone. The only difference is ...... Behind her god was four giant double-barreled "cannons" that could completely shift the center of gravity. The blonde girl could feel the weight she was carrying with every step she took, but she was very relaxed.
"The battleship Avant-garde is here---but my Admiral, don't you even give me an extra fifty points of flesh and blood essence?If I don't give it, I won't usually be made--it's really a shipyard that is used for the first time~"
