…

"Since you've said so, I'll give you some good news!" Lu Min looked at Gan Ning, who had a calm face, with a slight smile, and said quite sincerely, "A piece of good news that can definitely surprise and make you ecstatic!" ”

Gan Ning, who heard this, not only did not smile, but frowned, looked at Lu Min, thoughtfully.

"Take it easy, take it easy, this time it's definitely good news!" Lu Min said with a serious face and a serious expression.

Gan Ning looked at Lu Min silently and listened quietly.

"Many structural parts have been prepared in the first steps, so Lu Jicai has already applied for the construction plan of the battleship." With a smile on his face, Lu Min said seriously, "The plan has been approved, and the manufacture of the battleship has officially entered the process, and I believe that in a few years, the battleship will be launched..."

Lu Min said seriously, as for the thoughts in his heart, he would definitely not be seen by Gan Ning.

Lu Jun dared to think that a steel battleship of this level should also have the courage and belief to build it, but he didn't have it anyway.

One 5,000 tons, one 40,000 tons, this is not a steel battleship of the same magnitude, the gap in which the sea miles.

He also asked the chat group and listened to the explanations of the group members.

I know how many years it took to build the steel battleship under construction, and it is still under construction.

If it weren't for the fact that this world has a special secret technique of warmth, Lu Min would be a little suspicious, that thing was built, and the delay would be too long, and the life of the steel alloy would be reached, and the steel battleship would be decommissioned when it was put into service.

If that happens, it's a lot of fun.

Tens of billions of five-bead coins, then it's really the same as playing in the water.

However, it is precisely because this world has the secret art of warming and cultivation that it can withstand the corrosion of seawater and allow ships to be used for decades, even hundreds of years.

Of course, the most unfortunate thing in this situation is probably the shipyard.

After all, this kind of ship can basically be passed down to three generations in one boat, and the people are still there.

Overly high-quality ships have led to a hassle of upgrading.

However, there are not many ships now, and no one has discovered this problem, after all, the future of the open sea still needs a large number of ships.

When the day is close to saturation, there will be new talents who will come up with a solution.

A generation does a generation's thing, at most their generation is more outrageous, think more about the things of several generations.

A hint of joy flashed in Gan Ning's eyes, and then he suppressed it again, nodded with a smile, and said calmly, "It's indeed a good thing, but this good thing is not so pure, right?" ”

After a long period of contact with Lu Min, Gan Ning also found a problem.

Lu Min has the ability most of the time, but he rarely participates directly in the work, but when he encounters a problem, he can always think of some methods, although some methods are not so suitable, but at least they can be used.

Although the response was slower sometimes, it was also within Gan Ning's acceptable range.

This is just Lu Min under normal circumstances, and once he encounters something interesting, Lu Min will be as if he is a completely different person, extremely curious, and even have some feelings of not being afraid of danger.

The degree of audacity made Gan Ning admire.

However, not all the advantages are good, and Lu Min's behavior is a bit irresponsible in Gan Ning's opinion, but it is acceptable.

These are all good places, the only thing that feels a little headache is that Lu Min digs holes for himself in words many times.

The most important thing is that this pit is really not dug on purpose, most of the time it is done randomly.

Only when you fall into the pit do you know that you have been pitted.

And this kind of casual behavior even sometimes traps Lu Min himself.

However, it is precisely because of this that Gan Ning said to Lu Min, this is to maintain a calm mind as much as possible, so as to avoid affecting Lu Min because of his own mentality.

Then an inexplicable pit was dug out, and it was impossible to tell who would be buried in it.

"Yes, the price of this steel battleship is ridiculously expensive, after all, it is planned to consume more than 40,000 tons of steel alloy, if you add some accessories, accessories, weapons, etc..."

Originally, there was still some happy Gan Ning in his heart, but listening to Lu Min's gradual explanation, the whole person's heart seemed to come to winter in an instant, pulling out the cold.

Although there is a rough budget and preliminary estimate for the cost of the steel battleship, I really didn't think that Lu Jun would dare to build such a huge battleship.

"It's not a big problem, the preliminary estimate is the cost of eleven Ninghai ships..."Lu Min thought about the amount of steel used, as well as the manufacturing of special structures, the manpower invested and the time lost, the verification process, etc., and finally gave a rough estimate.

"Close to 70 billion dollars?!" The moment he heard this offer, Gan Ning felt that his hands were trembling, and looked at Lu Min in disbelief.

The tax revenue of the Han Empire was only a year, and according to the statistics of the previous two years, it was only about 4 billion a year.

If according to the original standard, a steel warship would have to kill the tax revenue of the Han Empire for twenty years.

This had to be put aside ten years ago, and those who dared to propose such a plan were killed by Emperor Han Ling.

And now they not only dare to mention it, but even dare to think about how to build it, and it has been put into the production process.

"Don't worry, it's not a one-time investment, it's not a big problem..."Lu Min waved his hand lightly, and said quite confidently, "I think the construction of the Ninghai ship took almost two years, and this steel battleship, even if it has experience in previous construction, is at least more than five years..."

"That is, tens of billions of dollars are invested a year..."Gan Ning, who heard this huge number, muttered to himself.

Lu Min thought for a moment, then nodded, it seemed that this was indeed the case.

If Chen Xi wants to make money, there is no problem with this money investment, but he feels that there is little hope.

If this level of money flows into the market at one time, it is estimated that it will not be able to withdraw so much cash for a while.

It's not that there is no money, but there are not so many copper coins, and the amount of raw materials is determined.

"Wait, who's going to pay for this money?" Suddenly, Gan Ning thought of some possibilities and asked on the spot.

"The ships of the navy are naturally sent by the navy!" Lu Min waved his hand and said, "But don't worry, Zichuan will pay in advance, and you can deduct it from the navy's military expenses in the future." ”

Probably, after all, the open price and the real value are not the same concept.
