Danxia Fang has two shipyards, the first of which is the family's internal shipyard, and the ships produced in it are for the family's internal use.

The second shipyard is an external operating shipyard, specializing in receiving external orders.

Some small teams or individuals who are lucky enough to get some blueprints for a battleship will spend money to find a shipyard to order a battleship.

Fang Chen came to the first shipyard, and the business manager named Li Lu who contacted him before received him, and the two came to a dock in the shipyard, and the business manager pointed to a frigate in the huge shipbuilding workshop behind the glass that was being finally debugged and said:

"The battleship is now in the final stages of commissioning, and it will only take about two or three days to be launched, and you have to prepare before that."

"Is it the crew and supplies?"

"Yes, crew and supplies, including food and weapons and ammunition."

"No problem, I'll go to the market now."

"Don't be so troublesome, this battleship is full of energy weapons by default, no ammunition is needed, the crew and captain We have cooperation with the Captain Academy, and we can recruit directly."

"Of course, if you want to recruit better captains and crews, you can do that, but you need to pay more money."

Li Lu took out a card and handed it to him, saying:

"This is the captain of the frigate who has graduated from the captain department of the Danxia Naval Academy but has not yet found a job, there are their abilities and recruitment prices on it, and there is contact information at the end, you can take a look, you can contact at any time if you want."

Fang Chen took the card, opened his personal panel, and with a swipe of this card, the interface in front of him was replaced by a frigate captain recruitment interface, and a dense number of human heads appeared in front of him.

These heads are divided into different colors according to the border of the captain's personal template.

They are plain templates with white borders.

Excellent template with green borders.

Elite template with blue border.

and a yellow border......

Well, he scrolled all the way down the interface to the end and didn't see the captain of the superior template, not even the blue-bordered elite template.

It's normal, as soon as a captain like this graduates, he has been officially selected by the family, and then he has been screened by the power figures within the family again, and after two rounds, there are basically no more excellent captains left.

Fang Chen glanced at the few remaining outstanding captains of the Green Name, his eyes fell on the salary he demanded, and after thinking for a while, he decided to give up.

The salary of the captain of the whiteboard is 200,000 a month, and the monthly salary of the captain of the excellent template of the green name is as high as 500,000 a month, which is directly doubled.

The captain's ability of the key green name template has not doubled, and in general, it can't be rowed.

After all, the monthly salary of the captain of a frigate is 200,000, the monthly salary of five senior crew members is 50,000, the monthly salary of five people is 250,000, and the 60 cyborg crew members do not need salaries but ask for food and consumables, a total of 150,000 a month.

In total, it costs 600,000 yuan for a month's salary plus maintenance fees, and 7.2 million yuan a year.

This is not in addition to the fact that an annual overhaul costs several million, and all in all, the annual maintenance cost of a frigate is at least tens of millions.

The average commander is enough to raise just a few frigates, and he does not have enough financial resources to raise too many ships, let alone those large ships.

At first, he didn't have to choose, Fang Chen directly equipped a set of captains and crew with a full tabula rasa, plus a full set of weapons and ammunition, as well as a year's maintenance costs, which cost him a total of 12.5 million.

Or an internal discounted price, only this once.

After paying the deposit, Fang Chen left the shipyard and went to the space station's trade market.

Halfway through the main screen of the trade market, it is full of advertisements for some trading companies, studios, and chambers of commerce established by guilds that are active in Danxia Star and its vicinity.

Fang Chen had a lot to prepare now.

In addition to the battleship, he also had to buy a mining ship, an industrial ship, a batch of mining robots, a batch of self-built shipyard equipment, a batch of industrial system equipment, mineral refining systems, hydroponic farm equipment, and so on.

Mining ships are naturally pulled out to mine and earn some money to maintain daily consumption.

The industrial ship is actually a modified version of the transport ship, which has the functions of salvage and warship weapon supply, and must have one.

Other self-built shipyard equipment, weapons industry system, mineral refining system, hydroponic farm, etc., are ready to build a private portable base in the space of the universe in the palm of your hand.

The universe in the palm of your hand is carried with you, and it is too wasteful to be empty.

He was ready to build a shipyard in it, establish a well-developed system of weapons industry, a system of mineral refining, a system of food supply, and so on.

When it is fully built, it can realize a series of processes such as refining ore and refining alloys, to making weapons, and building warships by itself.

If you want to develop and grow, you must have your own industrial system and shipbuilding system.

Otherwise, the source of the battleship is a big problem.

You don't have to expect to find other shipyards to order, it's too difficult, not only is the price expensive, the time is also long, and the key is to queue up.

There are so many shipyards, there are so many commanders who need warships, and now the shipyards outside are queuing up to build, and some popular shipyards are queuing up until a few years later.

Of course, this is just one of his plans now, and it will cost too much money to get it all out, and he can't afford it now.

Not to mention anything else, a small mining ship costs 50 million, and a small industrial ship costs 120 million, and these two alone can empty his capital pool.

So the initial idea was to buy two small mining ships, a batch of mining robots, two sets of small ore crushing, screening and refining equipment, and then think about making up for the rest slowly.

Two small mining vessels cost 100 million star dollars and contained 12 unmanned mining robots.

A total of 39 million sets of ore refining equipment and 78 million sets of two sets of ore refining equipment.

There are 1 million unmanned mining robots, equipped with two mining laser guns, containing a capacity of 1,000 square meters, a total of 20 units were purchased, and 20 million were spent.

After comprehensive calculation, a total of 198 million star yuan was spent, and the funds on hand were only about 12 million in an instant.

These are in stock, and after Fang Chen ordered them, he temporarily rented a warehouse and sent them to the merchants, so he didn't have to worry about them.

The next thing is to wait, during which he was not idle, and began to read the messages sent by the heroes in the regional channel, preparing to find a suitable place to develop.

The place will not be changed, it is still near Danxia Star.

Although you don't have a contract with the family, it doesn't mean that you can't mix around the family, but you can't get the signing benefits.

When you're just starting to enter the starry sky, it's better to mix in a safe area.

Danxia Fangshi is centered on the Danxia Galaxy, and the surrounding area is Gao'an within five hops.

The so-called jump refers to one hop between the galaxy and the nearest star system, and the five hop represents the area between the five galaxies that are skipped from Danxia in any direction.

This area belongs to the Danxia Fang's direct star area, and there are a large number of Fang's industries in it, and outsiders are not allowed to mine and open wells here, which is very safe.

In addition, there are a total of 104 galaxies centered on Danxia Star, which is the Zhong'an region, and there are patrol teams patrolling these galaxies every day to clear out a large number of wild monsters and powerful wild monster bosses, and newcomers can relatively safely mine and develop in these star fields.
