"We have tried every means to reduce the cost of a single ship, some internal non-critical equipment, and even controlled costs to a harsh level. 44r.m44r.m

The cost of 5 million cosmic coins is indeed very high, so we must support war with war. While manufacturing the Shenlong-class battleship for our own use, we will also produce battleships for export. In this way, as long as we can sell the battleships and produce a sufficient number of battleships for our own use

The battleships won’t last long.”

Zhang Shusheng said expectantly.

Feeding war with war and using a snowballing method to build a Shenlong-class battleship is the best way he can think of.[

Others, such as loans, blackmail, and doing business, are all impractical.

The existing loan has not been repaid yet, but it is a huge long-term installment loan of 200 to 300 million yuan.

If blackmail is used, it is possible to become rich overnight, but it is not often possible to meet rich and handsome men like Quinn and Gema. If you meet them once, it will only be a small fortune.

In addition, even selling technology and blueprints is not as good as selling arms directly. As a necessary equipment for space warfare, battleships have always been extremely popular.

Some countries with tight finances even once couldn't repay their debts, so they directly replaced the warships in their active fleets and used them to repay their debts.

Everyone nodded, this is also the best way. The cost of the Shenlong-class battleship is too high, and the value cannot be estimated in new RMB. In addition, many materials and components need to be purchased from outside or exchanged by Zhang Shusheng for production.

wait.

Hatton: "Your Majesty is right, this is the best way we can think of. Now let's take a look at our export-type battleships, Tianlong-class battleships and Feilong-class battleships."

Hatton led everyone aside and asked people to open two models. As expected, they were two slightly smaller battleships.

"The Tianlong-class battleship is a weakened version of the Shenlong-class battleship."

Hatton said: "Considering that we cannot provide our most advanced battleships to others, but also need to make this kind of battleship have a wide market and generate a high enough purchase price for customers, we designed this Tianlong class

Battleship.

This Tianlong-class battleship mainly weakens the battleship armor system, energy engine system, and energy shield system. This makes the Tianlong-class battleship have the same performance as the current G-type battleship in terms of speed and energy shield strength, as well as charging speed and armor strength.

Battleships are not much different.

However, we reserved two advanced designs for it.

The first is its speed. The speed of this battleship completely inherits the excellent speed performance of the Shenlong-class battleship. The combat speed reaches 0.4 times the speed of light, and the maximum speed is three times the speed of light. This is already greatly ahead of conventional G-type military battleships, let alone

Let’s talk about commercial battleships.

The second is its firepower.

The firepower of this warship is very fierce. In addition to modifying its main gun energy supply system to make its charging efficiency relatively low, it also has two powerful light energy main guns, retaining its fierce firepower.

It is faster than the opponent and has twice the firepower of the enemy. In addition, it is not inferior to the current G-type battleship in terms of armor and energy shield, engine and energy supply system, thus ensuring its great cost-effectiveness when exported.

.”

After listening to what he said, everyone suddenly realized that no wonder the Tianlong-class battleship is a weakened version of the Shenlong-class battleship. For battleships, what customers like most is nothing more than running fast and hitting hard.

The Tianlong-class battleship retains both high-speed performance and ferocious firepower. Of course, it will have a huge market.

Zhang Shusheng also smiled and said, "The positioning of our battleships is to compete with the commercial and military G-type battleships produced by the second-level civilization."

In addition to its outrageously superior performance, the cost of building this Tianlong-class battleship is not too high.

It is divided into three versions.

The ordinary version of the Tianlong-class battleship costs 2.5 million cosmic coins per ship and is expected to sell for 4.5 million cosmic coins.

The luxury version of the Tianlong-class battleship costs 2.9 million cosmic coins per ship and is expected to sell for 5.5 million cosmic coins.

The supreme version of the Tianlong-class battleship costs 3.3 million cosmic coins per ship and is expected to sell for 6.5 million cosmic coins."

Then, Zhang Shusheng explained in detail the origin of this pricing idea.

The ordinary version of the Tianlong battleship and the Shenlong-class battleship have the same manufacturing concept. Of course, the key parts are made of real materials, but the internal non-key parts should be made of cheap materials as much as possible to minimize the cost and reduce the selling price.

The deluxe version is just the opposite. The internal battleship decoration only costs 400,000 cosmic coins, which is already very luxurious. Of course, the price will also increase accordingly.

If there is no difference in actual performance between the regular version and the deluxe version, then the supreme version of the Tianlong Battleship is still stronger in performance, and its interior decoration is very gorgeous and is completely built according to the flagship specifications.

If we look at the price of a flagship, the price of the Supreme Edition Tianlong-class battleship is not expensive and is quite cheap.

Zhang Shusheng: "A battleship with a length of 3,000 meters is already recognized as the size of an entry-level super battleship. Coupled with its ferocious firepower and impressive speed, we are fully confident that we can sell it for a high price. Maybe then.

The actual price is higher than the current expected selling price.”

What Zhang Shusheng did not say is that the designs of these three battleships all refer to the technology of multiple levels of civilization. For example, an expensive material used on the Shenlong-class battleships, if the second-level civilization method is used, one ship will be

It will cost a huge sum of more than 200,000 cosmic coins, but if the technology of the fourth-level civilization is used to synthesize an ordinary new material, it can be replaced.

The technology of the second-level civilization comes from the three-pole civilization, and many key technologies are unclear and sometimes deliberately misled. The result is that the second-level civilization has taken many detours in the design and production of warships.

The empire has a large amount of technology and drawings to refer to, and it also has extremely powerful brains involved in the design, as well as a large number of scientists with very high brain development. In terms of design, they combined the strengths of each to design this kind of both.

A new battleship that is both economical and powerful.

This is also the empire's most significant scientific and technological achievement in the past two years.

At this time, Chen Yan thought for a long time, pointed to the third model named Feilong battleship, and asked, "Your Majesty, is this battleship positioned to compete with them in the market for ordinary models?"

Zhang Shusheng nodded and said, "You are half right. When Hatton was leading the design, we did take one issue into consideration. Not all countries can afford to buy a large number of Tianlong-class battleships. They also need to have people to support their appearance.

Cannon fodder battleship.

Currently, the second-level civilization in the Southwest Star Region only sells commercial battleships to the public. The standard military types are supplied to various companies and used for long-distance starry sky trade.

Everyone is afraid of raising tigers, but when it comes to military battleships, they still have very strict control.

Our flying dragon-class battleship is completely a general-purpose G-type military battleship. It can be manufactured by many second-level civilizations. It does not have any unique points, but the cost is kept very low. One million cosmic coins can be used to build one, but the expected selling price

But it can reach about 2.5 million cosmic coins."

Chen Yan nodded, that's it. The Tianlong-class battleship is used to seize the high-end market, which is enough to meet the needs of most first-level civilizations and even second-level civilizations for high-end battleships.

The Tripolar civilization imposes a warship monopoly on the second-level civilization, and the second-level civilization imposes a ban on the sale of warships to other countries. Once such arms sales barriers are broken, it will become an astronomical market.[

In addition to the high-end battleships that are seizing the market, the civilian-level flying dragon battleships are low-priced, high-quality and practical, and will trigger a purchasing wave when the time comes.

Everyone is excited, but they are still worried about whether the empire can really produce these good and advanced warships?

Everyone visited again, and after Zhang Shusheng personally decided to visit the battleship factory together next month, they finally dispersed.

Entering the office, Zhang Shusheng changed from an emperor to a scientist and a budget-conscious project leader.

He first looked at the current installation progress of the battleship factory. Some important mechanical equipment had been successfully redeemed in the past two years, consuming almost all system points.

As 1956 is approaching, all the equipment that cost a huge amount of points to redeem has been installed one by one.

During this period, Zhang Shusheng also arranged for someone to go on an outsourcing trip and bought more than 5 million cosmic coins of conventional machinery and some basic materials from Yunya.

In the past two years, in addition to purchasing and exchanging equipment, Zhang Shusheng also personally supervised the work and asked Hatton to take the lead in building some supporting factories for the battleship factory.

With the strong cooperation of the giant machinery manufacturing center, the entire empire invested its efforts to produce a large number of new machinery, new material factories, new engine factories, new main gun manufacturing factories...

Construction has been started one after another in the past two years. Although the battleship factory itself has a large number of related supporting equipment, if the empire can mass-produce battleships in the future, Zhang Shusheng's only way is to try to get it all in place at once.

Two years later, although the battleship factory will be completed next month, in fact it will take more than a year to build these large-scale supporting factories.

It is expected that in the first half of 1958, the empire will be able to start mass production of battleships.

As for piecemeal production, there are not many materials required, and there is no need to wait for all the supporting factories to be ready. During this period of 1956-57, what Zhang Shusheng had to do was to kill Hatton and take the lead in manufacturing three No. 0 ships as a finalization.

use.

The three warships involve a total of 5 main guns, more than 70 sub-guns, hundreds of secondary guns, three sets of engines, three sets of energy shield systems, etc.

Hatton told Zhang Shusheng that the empire could manufacture half of them by itself, and the rest could only be solved by Zhang Shusheng, whether it was outsourcing or secretly obtained from 'alien allies'.

Zhang Shusheng is not in a hurry. If he doesn't generate enough, he will naturally exchange it with the system. This little thing is nothing.
