() As soon as Zhang Shusheng mentioned the transformation of the battleship, Hatton's entire mind was mobilized.

"Your Majesty, I need to know the latest battle situation on the front line in order to work out the most suitable warship transformation plan."

Different warship reconstruction schemes have different costs, different transformation cycles, and the transformation direction, key needs of the front line, and so on, can not be formulated by sitting in the rear of the safety.

"At this point, my general has the most say, go and talk while drinking tea."

Zhang Shusheng called Cai Yan, and even Liu Shaoqi, the deputy economic and financial director in charge of the government administration who rushed from the earth to the lunar base to welcome the return of the fleet, also called. On the top floor of the command tower, while watching the warships densely populated in the lunar port, we drank tea and talked about the transformation plan of the warships.

"Songpo, look at these 70 battleships. Once the transformation is completed, joining our fleet is enough to form the Empire's Second Fleet." ..

Zhang Shusheng stared fiercely at the battleships in the lunar port. Unlike the earth's ecological environment, the moon seemed extremely barren, but at such a high-tech base, the intersection of barrenness and technology turned out to have an alternative beauty.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the task of the First Fleet is too heavy now."

Cai Yan had been on the front line until this time when he went out to receive the battleship and returned from the space jump gate.

He told Hatton and Liu Shaoqi about the front line in detail, including the latest battle report just received.

"Actually, so far, there has been no major war on our front line, because the entire Southwest Starfield has been in chaos, and even the Principality of Ranke has never experienced dealing with us again.

The Fifth and Sixth Fleet of the Nook Chamber of Commerce were under the command of General Nok, General Lin Feng. They had captured the four living planets of the Principality of Ranke, and occupied a quarter of the territory of Ranke.

The Orion Alliance's army robbed by fire and also won a planet of life. Several other first-level civilizations joined forces to win a planet of life. There was even melee.

However, the Principality of Ranke still has nearly ten life planets and a large number of mine stars. And these planets are within three solid lines of defense.

The Army of the Knock Merchants Union has not advanced, and the Third Super Fleet and the Seventh Super Fleet are being assembled. It is expected that they will be put into the battlefield of the Ranke Principality in the future.

The Orion Alliance is also preparing for the war and is expanding madly.

but. It is worth noting that the Principality of Ranke currently has support for nearly 2,000 battleships through the space gate, although there are no super battleships. However, a large number of G-type standard warships joined in, allowing the Principality of Ranke to avoid the danger of extinction in a short time.

More importantly, the Second Super Fleet, the Fourth Super Fleet, and the Sixth Super Fleet of the Longshan Empire are rapidly gathering. At present, more than one-third of the fleet has assembled in the border zone. It is likely that it will be in the future with the Knokker Alliance A war broke out in the Principality.

Take a comprehensive view of the situation. The battle will start in one to two years, and small and medium-sized battles will continue. "

After hearing so many big nations involved in the war, Hatton and Liu Shaoqi both showed joy. The opportunity for the rise of the weak nations was to watch the tigers fight, the harder they fought. The more opportunity for the Chinese Empire to rise.

Whether it is the Longshan Empire or the Knock Merchant League or even the Duchy of Ranke, these are all high-ranking nations. If one comes out, it is not an empire that can counter it.

But now it's different. They can't stop talking and give the empire the opportunity to make war money.

"From multiple perspectives, the Longshan Empire has decided to intensify the war. Because of the pressure from the Silver Moon Empire, a third-level civilization, the Longshan Empire, unwilling to be involved in the war, has revealed its fangs.

However, the Nork Merchants League is not vegetarian, and it is fully prepared to start the Rank duke. This time, the third-level civilization, the Kolomon Federation, has long been dissatisfied with the pattern of the Southwest Stars, and it is necessary to promote this war. "

In Zhang Shusheng's view, as the old saying goes, there are rivers and lakes in people's places, and there must be wars in the starry sky of the country.

In the Lost World of Stars, the rising star represented by the Orion Alliance, dissatisfied with rivals such as the Principality of Ranks occupying interests, must be liquidated for hundreds of years of grievances. A big country like the Knock Merchant Union is dissatisfied with the strength of the Longshan Empire for thousands of years. They are reckless and use war to fight for their own interests.

As for why the two third-level civilizations resolutely entered the dispute and laid out ahead of time, Zhang Shusheng also had a more cautious guess: "The Silvermoon Empire and the Kuluo Federation were close rivals, and they stepped into the third-level civilization for thousands of years. Without discrimination, the science and technology and civilization on both sides have reached the top of the third-level civilization.

The southwestern galaxy of the Milky Way is still too small to accommodate the next level IV civilization, and the battle between them should be a battle for the promotion of civilization. "

How terrifying is a fourth-level civilization? You only need to look at the battleship Zhonghua. Many of these technologies are at the level of fourth-level civilization. Only zìyóu jump technology is the housekeeping skill of fifth-level civilization.

Zhang Shusheng was not clear about the war strength of the fourth-level civilization, but from the difference between the second-level and third-level civilizations, it is possible that only one fourth-level civilization could eventually be promoted in the southwestern star region of the galaxy.

What Cai Yan said was mainly the situation of the lost star field, and the situation of the whole southwest star field was more complicated.

"Your Majesty, will this war last for a long time? And may it lead to the re-division of the power of the Southwest Galaxy of the Milky Way in the future?"

Liu Shaoqi asked excitedly.

"Yes, there are not many opportunities left for us, so I tried to borrow this huge sum from the outside, just to catch up with this ride.

As I have said many times in office meetings, from now on, we will focus on developing military industries and selling them all.

We need universe coins. We can also exchange resources for our battleships. We can even exchange life planets for our battleships. We will strengthen our strength at all costs and accumulate war capital.

I have a dream, maybe after the end of this war, we Chinese Empire will be promoted to a second-level civilization, or a quasi-second-level civilization. "

Zhang Shusheng is full of imaginary terrain. From the perspective of Liu Shaoqi and others, the Chinese Empire is still far away from the second-level civilization, which may take hundreds of years.

But only Zhang Shusheng knew that this time did not take so long. According to the latest top-secret exploration report, three life planets and two A-class life planets were found in the Lost Stars area alone. A B-class life planet is located in the Lost Stars.

In addition, a class B life planet was found near the chaotic star belt.

In this way, the empire has four developable planets of life.

Adding the existing three, the Empire will have a total of seven planets of life. Has reached the standard of quasi-second civilization. From the perspective of intelligent brain calculations, there will be no more life planets in the entire lost star field, and seven have reached the limit of natural distribution. If you want more planets, you have to expand.

"So, our most important task now is to grow the population and develop the military industry."

Zhang Shusheng concluded, "Hatton, at present our front line is mainly defensive, to protect the trade channel with the Orion Alliance when necessary. At present, there is a fleet of 30 battleships headed forward.

For the time being, battleships are enough. 30 new battleships that have just been purchased can take turns to strengthen their firepower.

As for the remaining 70 battleships, how can they be transformed? What are the opinions of Shaoqi and Hatton? "

Liu Shaoqi said: "At present, there is no problem in terms of funds, mainly from the expense of loans. The rest depends on General Manager Hatton's plan."

Hatton thought about it. Finally, a thought was given, "Thirty brand-new battleships can remove some unnecessary small guns and some recreational facilities on the ship to install a main gun system, but if the main gun system is added, The energy supply system needs to be modified. If it is modified at the same time, without affecting the production of battleships, it can complete 2 ships a month and complete the transformation of all 30 ships a year. "

Zhang Shusheng: "No problem. These thirty battleships are used as the Earth Defense Fleet. By the way, they are used for recruit training before they officially enter the service. This running-in period will also take one or two years, which is completely enough."

His idea was to keep these battleships around the earth while training recruits while taking turns to transform and upgrade.

These brand-new battleships have average energy, energy shields and speed, and even other ones do not need to be modified. Only the firepower and energy supply systems need to be upgraded and upgraded. If the firepower is not strong, the battleships will go out as if they were not sharpened.

As for other transformations, Zhang Shusheng didn't want to, but he didn't have enough time and the cost was too high.

"The remaining 70 second-hand battleships will take longer to upgrade and upgrade. Considering that they will be overhauled, I plan to dismantle some internal facilities after each overhaul, add a main gun system, and improve energy supply. System, and at the same time upgrade the battleship's engine to maximize some speed. "

These 70 battleships are not the same as the new ones, and they need a lot of repairs. Moreover, it is not enough to just strengthen the firepower. Its speed is far inferior to that of the new ships. The engine must be overhauled and modified.

Although these battleships are second-hand, they can still be used for many years. Currently, they mainly allow them to run and fight, and consider other opportunities when the opportunity is appropriate.

"Okay, this is no problem. If there are more projects to be renovated, it may affect the production of Shenlong-class battleships and Tianlong-class battleships.

How long will it take to complete the transformation of these 70 battleships? "

Zhang Shusheng asked ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ year. "

After getting this answer, Zhang Shusheng had the idea, and after a lot of training missions can use real ships, this energy cost empire is still affordable.

"Your Majesty, next month, our three Shenlong-class battleships and two Tianlong-class battleships will be able to complete the battleship loading, and you must come to cut the ribbon at that time."

Hatton also followed suit, often seeing Zhang Shusheng cut ribbons for other strategic projects. He also hoped that the new ship's entry into service would receive the personal attention of His Majesty the Emperor.

"Haha, okay, no problem. When the new ship enters service, I will also announce our expansion plan."

When Zhang Shusheng thought that two or three years had passed, he finally got into the battle with a powerful domestic battleship, and he couldn't help but be excited and proud. Although the five new battleships were all piled up, it was worth it. In terms of empire, this is a landmark achievement. (To be continued.)
