, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Deep Sea Survival: Start a Submarine!

"For a total price of 390,000, a discount of 15,000?"

Glancing at the tablet handed over by Nona, Meng Lei didn't look at each item carefully. The key was to pause for a moment on the final discount amount.

But if he didn't look closely, his face suddenly turned ugly.

For a list of 400,000 yuan, the final discount given by the Xiercheng Shipyard was only 15,000 yuan, which was equivalent to giving away the installation fee of a cannon.

However, in terms of the overall price of the Falcon-class exploration boat, it is not cheap at all.

To be honest, this made Meng Lei somewhat unhappy.

Nona seemed a little embarrassed, smiled apologetically, and said softly:

"I'm really sorry, Captain Meng, don't think that the discount amount is not high, but this is indeed the greatest strength that our shipyard can give!"

After a pause, seeing that Meng Lei was still stiff, Nona added:

"Captain Meng, you also know that our Xiercheng Shipyard is an internal organization of the alliance, and all the charging standards are strictly stipulated by the alliance.

Not even our top leaders have the power to change much unless the mayor speaks.

Such an operation model is destined to be limited in our ability to offer discounts and cannot be compared with those private arms dealers, please forgive me..."

Nona has a sincere expression and a sincere attitude.

It can be seen that she did her best in this matter.

After listening to Nona's explanation, Meng Lei pondered for a while, and felt that this explanation was not unreasonable.

Sear City Shipyard is still a subordinate institution of the Union government in the final analysis. It can be regarded as a state-owned enterprise in a certain sense. Naturally, in many aspects, it cannot be as flexible as a private enterprise.

The point is, Meng Lei currently has no human resources in this area.

If you ask Roger about this matter, he will definitely be able to help, but he doesn't want to trouble the other party because of this trivial matter.

Moreover, the more secretive the relationship between them, the better, which is a disguised protection for both parties.

Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Meng Lei finally nodded and said solemnly:

"If that's the case, let's do it first!"

Hearing this, Nona immediately picked up her emotions, her eyes lit up, but she tried her best to remain calm and said:

"Captain Meng, then you... agree?"

Meng Lei shrugged, with a look of helplessness on his face, and said in a half-joking tone:

"What can I do if I don't agree? You can't bring me more discounts. I can't rob it from your factory, right?"

Nona covered her mouth and chuckled, her blond hair falling in front of her eyes, looking different and beautiful.

"Then I'll go to draw up the contract, you wait a moment."

Meng Lei nodded and waved:

"Well, let's go."

Nona held the tablet in her hand, bowed slightly, opened the door and left the VIP room quickly.

After she left, Meng Lei calculated silently in his heart.

After removing the 15,000 discount given by the shipyard, the total consumption this time was as high as more than 280,000, nearly 290,000!

His current personal account balance still has about 120,000 in it.

Not counting other change, he also asked Chen Yu to withdraw 170,000 marks from the fleet funds to pay for this expense.

Thinking of this, Meng Lei felt a pain in his liver.

No matter how hard he worked, no matter how much money he made, he would still not spend it!

Fortunately, when he left the Rongyan Outpost, he also salvaged valuable food supplies in the lower area where chaos broke out.

These include dehydrated vegetables, as well as a variety of canned fish and seaweed products.

All of these things can be worth hundreds of thousands of marks, which can barely make up for the loss of fleet funds.

It means that almost all the cost of purchasing submarines and upgrading this time comes from the reward of 150,000 yuan given by the alliance.

In other words, it is equivalent to the sea locust going out to sea, not earning a cent of cash, but buying four upgraded and improved F-class exploration boats and painted skin insect eggs worth more than two million.

Thinking about it like this, Meng Lei's mood suddenly improved a lot.

But through this incident, Meng Lei felt more urgent about building his own base and establishing his own shipyard.

Rather than putting money in the pockets of the Alliance, it's cheaper to build your own ships.

The big deal is to buy raw materials from several other private mining companies. Anyway, the currency system on Alien is universal, and there is not even an exchange ratio between the major sea areas.

And if you can control the mining rights of a ore vein yourself, then a series of systems such as mining and shipbuilding are self-sufficient, and you can save even more money!

Only when it has developed to this stage can the Chongming fleet be able to barely stand firm.

However, these are all later stories.

But if all goes well, it may not be too long!

While thinking about it, Meng Lei sent Chen Yu a text message, asking him to transfer 170,000 marks to his account, ready to settle the bill later.

Very quickly, Chen Yu didn't ask any more questions, and turned over 200,000 marks neatly.

More than what Meng Lei asked for.

At the same time, Chen Yu added a sentence to the transfer message.

"As the commander-in-chief, your pocket can't be as clean as your face, and you should keep a lot of money for emergencies, so you don't have to worry about your family."

Looking at the words of concern on the cold screen, Meng Lei couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart.

He was about to answer Chen Yu when the door of the VIP room opened again.

Nona walked in with a smile on her face, holding the tablet and a stack of paper contracts.

"Captain Meng, the contract has been drawn up, please take a look."

Saying that, Nona presented the contract with both hands in front of Meng Lei and bowed slightly, showing grace in her respect.

Meng Lei nodded, and after taking over the contract, he read it carefully.

Nona put her hands on her lower abdomen, posing in a standard etiquette stance, and added:

"In order to express our sincerity and look forward to your further cooperation with our Xiercheng Shipyard, our leader specially explained that we can do a free maintenance for your Typhon boat!

In addition, I will send you five uranium fuel rods as a gift, thank you for your continuous support! "

Hearing this, Meng Lei still kept his reading posture, nodded slightly and said:

"Thank you so much then!"

A free maintenance, plus five uranium fuel rods, although the value is not high, only a few thousand marks, but it makes Meng Lei feel a little sincerity.

As for such a healthy and practical behavior, he naturally refused to come, and immediately accepted it with a smile.

And, after Nona finished saying this, he suddenly had a vague illusion.

It's like in Bluestar's car 4S shop, after buying a car, you send a fuel card for maintenance, there is an inexplicable intimacy.

"After reading the contract, there is no problem, that's it."

After a while, Meng Lei put down the contract in his hand and gave a positive answer.

The next transaction went smoothly.

But when Meng Lei was about to pay the fee and Nona verified her identity information, Nona covered her mouth in surprise, her bright blue eyes staring at the tablet in her hand in disbelief.

"Oh God, your reputation has reached respect?! I remember last time, didn't your reputation stay friendly?

How long has it been since then, how exactly did you do it? ! "

Seeing Meng Lei's reputation soaring like a rocket, Nona was stunned and felt an unprecedented shock.

Here, she has seen a lot of bounty hunters of all kinds over the years.

Among them, there are some ruthless characters in this channel, and they are also legendary figures who have appeared in various weekly magazines and are well-known.

However, at least in terms of the promotion of the alliance's prestige level, she has never seen anyone, and she has never heard of anyone who can jump faster than Meng Lei.

From Nona's point of view, these days after Meng Lei disappeared, even if he has been constantly swiping bounty quests, it is very difficult for him to swipe his prestige to a respectable level!

It's almost impossible!

But the other party really did it, which is incredible!

Regarding Nona's doubts, Meng Lei didn't say much, just showed a mysterious smile and said softly:

"Hey, this is a secret, Miss Nona should not inquire about it easily..."

Hearing this, Noona reacted and hurriedly apologized:

"Sorry, sorry, I was abrupt, please forgive me, Captain Meng."

Meng Lei waved his hand indifferently, and immediately transferred the corresponding expenses to the public account of Xiercheng Shipyard.

After the 25% discount, a total of more than 288,000.

In order to show her sincerity, Nona took the initiative to wipe off the fraction again, spending a total of 288,000 whole.

"Okay, Miss Nona, happy cooperation!"

After entering the payment password, 280,000 marks were immediately credited to the account.

Meng Lei smiled and stretched out his right hand to Nona, showing an elegant gentleman's demeanor.

Nona also smiled, her bright eyes flashed and she shook Meng Lei gently, and said softly:

"Pleasant cooperation, Captain Meng, we will arrange for the staff to come to your door as soon as possible to upgrade your submarine.

The time is the same as last time, about three days. "

After a pause, Nona seemed to feel that this time guarantee was a little insecure, and then added:

"However, this time, due to the installation of an additional machine gun turret, the time may be longer, but it will never exceed four days!"

Meng Lei nodded and wanted to leave.

He suddenly remembered something again and exhorted:

"By the way, there is still some cargo on the Typhon boat to be transferred. After I am ready, you can arrange for the staff to come here. Don't worry."

Dozens of boxes of eggs are still in the warehouse of the Sea Locust, and each test tube is worth thousands!

Although with the professionalism of the staff of the alliance shipyard, they should not do this kind of robbery, coveting the private goods of customers.

But people are separated from their stomachs, and the province can't tell when they look back.

In addition, the existence of this batch of eggs cannot be known to too many people.

Even if Roger said he would suppress this matter, it was limited to the coalition government.

Now the painting skin incident at the Rongyan Outpost has caused widespread panic among ordinary people. Once someone discovers that the new type of worm eggs appear in Meng Lei's cabin in large numbers, the trouble will be big.

At that time, even Roger may be powerless, and the impact is too great.

"Good Captain Meng!"

Hearing Meng Lei's request, Nona immediately said that she would arrange staff to come to the door in strict accordance with Meng Lei's requirements.

Meng Lei nodded with satisfaction. He didn't stay at the shipyard for now. He greeted Nona and turned to leave.

After solving the problem of the ship, Meng Lei's confidence in the upcoming voyage has increased invisibly.

Five F-class exploration craft, each equipped with four shipboard weapons, and a matching torpedo launcher, as well as rail gun mounts.

Used with an electromagnetic coil, both long-range strike ability and melee protection have been strongly guaranteed.

It is no exaggeration to say that with the cooperation of these five submarines, even the deep-sea cavern full of monster lairs has the ability to try to break through!

Even if the monsters in the terrifying sea area of ​​the hydrothermal wasteland are denser, it is impossible to surpass the original cave.

This time the voyage is likely to be stable!

However, Meng Lei did not take it lightly.

In addition to the sturdy firepower configuration, the type of ammunition and lethality are also the criteria for measuring whether a submarine has the ability to travel far.

Ordinary electromagnetic artillery ammunition and burst machine gun ammunition can only inflict effective damage on ordinary sea monsters like creepers and growing fast dragons.

For example, the mature Xunmenglong, and the growing Moluoke, as well as various sea monsters with different abilities, ordinary ammunition and small-caliber ship-based weapons, can cause extremely limited lethality.

At this time, different types of ammunition are needed to increase the corresponding lethality.

Take the electromagnetic fort as an example. There are many types of ammunition for the electromagnetic fort.

There are ordinary bombs, explosive bombs, armor-piercing bombs and depleting bombs, etc...

Each type of ammunition will have different effects after hitting the target. For different types of sea monsters, different ammunition must be used to achieve the maximum lethality.

This knowledge was learned by Meng Lei from the book, as well as inadvertently learned while chatting with Simon and the others.

However, the engineering cabins of ordinary submarines can produce limited types of ammunition.

Including the player's initial wastelanding boat, the number of basic blueprints in the weapon workshop is similar to the blueprints that come with ordinary submarines.

Many types of ammunition, such as rail shells with high-explosive warheads, and depleted electromagnetic ammunition, still need to be purchased from the quarters store in the city.

These Galway ammunitions with great destructive power and some kind of hidden radiation damage are high-risk consumables in the alliance, and private mass production is prohibited, and there is no corresponding production blueprint.

To a certain extent, strict control has been implemented.

However, this kind of blueprint for items that are not top technology can still be found on the black market, and it is not difficult to obtain.

But at least for now, if Meng Lei wants to hoard a batch of this kind of ammunition, he still has to start from the war preparation material store in the city.

While thinking, Meng Lei walked in the direction of Pier 59.

When they returned to the Sea Locust, Huo Ye and Xu Hui also finished their breakfast and were reading and reading newspapers on the boat, killing their boring time while enriching themselves.

After seeing Huo Ye, Meng Lei suddenly remembered his promise to Huo Ye last night.

He hurriedly took out the tablet tucked under his arm, and sent a text message to Julie, the magazine editor of Seale Weekly, asking about the progress of the missing person notice.

Maybe she was busy, and Julie didn't reply in time.

Meng Lei first notified Huo Ye and the others to transfer the boxes containing insect eggs stored on the Sea Locust to the Guixu and Shenlong.

At the same time, he also notified Chen Yu and Wang Qi to prepare them for reception.

At this time, Lin, who had been reclusive in the crew room, suddenly came out.

During these days, affected by the incident at the Rongyan Outpost, Lin's mood was always low, and she seldom showed up on the ship.

Meng Lei, on the other hand, was busy dealing with various things, and for a while, she was almost forgotten.

Today's Lin seems to be in a much better condition. The corners of her mouth that are bent downwards in daily life, faintly outline an upward arc.

However, her eyes were still full of daze and loss, as if she was a little confused about the future.

"Ship... Captain..."

When Meng Lei was instructing everyone to transfer the dangerous goods, the beautiful girl, still wearing the crumpled clerk's uniform, cautiously came to Meng Lei and called out in a low voice.

Meng Lei was stunned for a moment, then he showed a gentle smile and asked:

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Lin's expression was a little cowardly, with a hint of tangle in her helplessness.

Beito bit her red lips lightly, and the girl stood there for a long time at a loss, and finally said hesitantly:

"Captain, thank you for saving me from the Rongyan Post. I haven't been able to thank you in person for a long time. I'm sorry, I'm in a bad mood recently, and it's a little rude."

Hearing this, Meng Lei waved his hand indifferently and said with a smile:

"It's just a little effort, don't be so polite. Besides, without your help, it would be very difficult for us to get out of the way. Everyone is just helping each other, they are all friends."

The girl didn't react much, and lowered her head, unable to see what she was feeling at the moment.

After a while, she raised her head, but some did not dare to look directly at Meng Lei, and said softly:

"Then I'm still very grateful to you for taking me in for so long. Now that I'm in a safe place, I won't bother you too much. Thank you for your care these days. Goodbye, Captain..."

After speaking, the girl immediately took small steps, turned around and ran out of the cabin.

This inexplicable move made Meng Lei confused for a while.

He never thought that this girl actually came to say goodbye to him.

"Hey, don't worry, don't run!"

The next moment, Meng Lei came back to his senses, hurried forward to stop her, and asked suspiciously:

"What are you doing, where are you going?"

The girl shook her head and lowered her head in a low voice: "I don't know... Let's go to the city and have a look, first find a place to live and then..."

Lin is a native of Rongyan Post. Her parents died unexpectedly, and she has no relatives at all.

Meng Lei knew this.

After leaving the Sea Locust, she had no relatives in Xier City. From Meng Lei's point of view, it would obviously not be easy for her to seek a life here.

Meng Lei had thought about it before. When the fleet docked, he would discuss with her and simply stay on the ship as a ship's doctor.

Although her medical skills may not be as good as Gina's, this girl still has a certain level in ordinary trauma treatment.

Immediately, Meng Lei asked with a smile:

"You are unfamiliar in the city of Xier. It's not that easy for a girl to find a job and find a place to live. Otherwise, just stay and become a ship doctor for me."

After a pause, Meng Lei added:

"It just so happens that we have another long trip next, and we are short of manpower. If you want, join us and set sail with us, how about it?"

Hearing this, this time it was the girl's turn to be stunned.

She looked up at Meng Lei blankly, her eyes were slightly red, and she didn't seem to believe that Meng Lei would actually ask her to stay.

"Really...really? Can I stay on the boat?"

There was a hint of joy in the crisp voice. The girl's big watery eyes looked at Meng Lei, but her hands were constantly entangled, and she looked extremely nervous.

"sure!"

Meng Lei tried his best to show a gentle smile, and said softly:

"In addition, I will pay you the corresponding remuneration every month at the price of the Xier City talent market. In the future, you can follow us, and don't find another way out!"

Meng Lei's starting point was to provide the girl with a job and pay her part of the salary in the form of recruitment.

At least I can save some savings in my hand, so that I will not encounter any accidents in the future, which will lead to the street.

This is necessary for a girl.

Who knows, just after the words fell, Lin waved her hands again and again, and said emotionally and nervously:

"No, no, no, captain, I don't want money, I'm very happy if you can take me in, you don't need to pay me any more, I have money!"

Hearing this, Meng Lei waved his hand indifferently, not paying attention to it at all, and said with a smile:

"How much money can a girl's family have, if you want, do as I say."

At this time, Xu Hui happened to pass by, heard the conversation between the two, and joked:

"Commander, you are better to others than to us! We have followed your old employees all the way, and we haven't been paid yet. When will the treatment be improved for us!"

Meng Lei laughed and scolded:

"Go and do your job, even a few stitches on your stomach can't stop your mouth. Go back to Captain Chen for your salary, don't say I favor one over the other!"

When the words fell, Xu Hui carried a storage box full of test tubes, and walked past Meng Lei with a smirk.

Looking at his actions, it seems that the injury has indeed improved a lot, and there is almost nothing out of the ordinary.

And after his interruption, Lin originally wanted to say something, but suddenly her pretty face blushed, and the words were held back in her stomach.

Meng Lei didn't notice this detail, turned his head and said with a soft smile:

"Okay, let's go back and pack up. You will stay with Dr. Gina in the next few days. The Sea Locust needs to be upgraded to the shipyard, and the crew room is temporarily unavailable."

The girl nodded lightly and smiled lightly:

"Okay, I know the captain, thank you!"

After that, the girl gave Meng Lei a deep salute and said solemnly:

"May the goddess of luck always look after you, bless you from the erosion of the abyss, and your health will always be there!"

After saying this, the girl lowered her head and walked away quickly.

Meng Lei was left alone, with a confused look on his face.

"God? Goddess of Luck? The Tia people also believe in the Western gods of Blue Star? Why doesn't anyone worship Sanqing?"

Silently vomited, Meng Lei shrugged helplessly, turned around and continued to direct the transfer of supplies.

It didn't take too long, dozens of boxes of painted skin parasite eggs were transferred to other initial wasteland boats.

By holding a tablet, Meng Lei informed Nona that she could arrange for staff to come, and immediately started to upgrade the submarine.

At the same time, Julie, editor of Searle Weekly, also replied to Meng Lei's text messages.

The result is regrettable. A week has passed, and the headquarters of Sear City Magazine has not received reports from other waterways, and the target is still missing.

In this regard, although Meng Lei was already mentally prepared, he still felt regretful.

He tried to communicate with Julie to see if he could continue to post the missing person notice, so that this information would always attract attention.

Zhu Li said that she needed to report to the leaders of the magazine before giving a specific answer.

In addition, Zhu Li also mentioned that there are other things that need to be interviewed with Meng Lei, and asked if he could make an appointment to meet him~lightnovelpub.net~ Meng Lei thought about it, and finally set the time at night, Zhu Li was pleased accept.

And just when he and Julie ended the communication, another unfamiliar message was suddenly sent.

Meng Lei opened it and saw that it was the fat boss Lanny who had just separated yesterday.

The other party also requested to chat with Meng Lei privately, saying that the arms company behind him was very interested in Meng Lei and hoped to reach a good cooperative relationship in the future.

Meng Lei hesitated for a while, and he hadn't figured out when to schedule an appointment with Lanny.

At this time, Roger's message was also sent.

Meng Lei opened his eyes with a big head, and his expression immediately became serious.

"Captain Meng, do you have time at night?"
