Chapter 652: The crisis is coming

,

spn time flies by very quickly, 1957 passed amid a wave of construction, and in the blink of an eye it was the end of 1958.

For more than a year, the construction of the empire was in full swing.

In terms of internal construction, the empire’s capital, Star Earth, has basically completed its public transportation transformation.

With the sharp decline in production costs, manufactured flying cars have begun to spread to every municipal-level city. The usual cost of using super-battery flying cars is much lower than in the fuel era.

This is due to the continuous operation of large-scale advanced super nuclear power plants around the world. This kind of cheap and safe nuclear power has begun to be used by individuals, industry and public.[

Long-distance passenger and cargo airships have also begun to be put into use. These long-distance passenger airships, which are hundreds of meters long, can carry as much as dozens of trains at a time.

Since the empire has realized the self-production of spacecraft in this small planet, the cost has been reduced. The freight turnover cost and input transportation cost in various places on the capital star have been greatly reduced, and the efficiency has been greatly improved.

In the original European or American regions, public flying buses and transoceanic passenger and cargo spaceships have also begun to be put into use. At the same time, super nuclear power plants have begun construction in various regions.

In addition to the renovation of public transportation, health and education were the first to complete the first phase goals.

The mainland has implemented that all school students participate in the genetic modification program and advanced nutrition program, as well as the Yanhuang martial arts program.

These three major plans were implemented in a two-pronged manner, and after huge financial costs were invested, they achieved astonishing results. Even other regions are starting to implement them.

In addition to public transportation, education, health and culture, some high-tech factories have also sprung up in the mainland, and more than 40% of them are factories affiliated with Shusheng Company.

On the basis of the previous decades, the empire began to gradually establish a complete set of industrial systems. Relying on the super machinery manufacturing center, Zhang Shusheng used a snowballing attitude to develop the empire's advanced industries step by step.

At the same time, a slightly smaller second machine factory and a super machinery manufacturing center have also begun to be constructed. Unlike the last outsourcing, most of the machinery and equipment this time will be manufactured by ourselves.

The empire does not lack investment or technology, but it lacks money, cosmic coins, and convenient foreign trade.

In addition to these step-by-step developments, the empire also developed well in specialty cultivation.

Great achievements have been made in special planting and breeding work on the three planets: Capital Star, Changqing Star, and Avatar Star.

On the capital planet, large areas of barren areas on the mainland, the North Sea (Siberia), the Far East, Europe, America, and even Africa have begun to be planted.

Most of these high-end cash crops or animals are not annual and often take several years. In order to meet the processing conditions, Shusheng Company and the Empire have invested money in construction. If these cannot make the people completely crazy, then the first

The construction of a Shenlong-class battleship started, which finally lifted the mood of the people of the empire to the highest point.

..."Your Majesty, our project is progressing very smoothly now. Although we encountered many difficulties after the keel was laid, we have overcome them one by one."

Hatton stood with Zhang Shusheng on the viewing bridge of the China, looking at the huge warship manufacturing center in space below.

This huge warship manufacturing center, in addition to the core warship factory, also has a floating energy factory and some parts work. The entire scale is equivalent to a small city.

It took the empire nearly three years just to build the entire manufacturing center.

Warship manufacturing involves many spare parts. In addition to the super machinery manufacturing center that can process some parts, there are also some parts that need to be processed in space.[

Space processing, gravity can be adjusted, and some special parts can be processed to the best quality in a vacuum environment.

Therefore, in three years, in addition to installing all the equipment in Hatton's original factory, Zhang Shusheng also exchanged a large amount of equipment and outsourced equipment twice, and finally built the warship manufacturing center in front of him.

As someone who knows how expensive firewood and rice are, Zhang Shusheng has hardly dared to waste even a few points in the past three years, and has used them all to exchange for mechanical equipment, materials, and technology that cannot be purchased.

In the past three years, the empire has not redeemed another battleship or a space gate system.

As for the shocking loan, it was okay in the first two years. My savings, plus a large amount of money extorted from Master Gema, plus the monthly tax dividends of the two young masters, were barely even.

.

However, we ran into trouble in the third year. Not only did we spend a thousand and two cents of cosmic coins in our account, we almost didn't make up enough for the third year's repayment.

Fortunately, at that time, several alien races wandering on the earth came to our door, hoping that Zhang Shusheng could help provide a batch of genetic medicines. They were taken advantage of. Of course, Zhang Shusheng refused to let it go. The medicine that cost less than 1 million universe coins was asked for 10 million universe coins.

Coins, covering genetic modification and therapeutic drugs, finally solved the loan problem in the third year.

If they hadn't come to ask for help, according to the original plan, Zhang Shusheng would have shipped the refined energy blocks and sold them.

"For loans in 1959, we have to rely on these big guys."

Zhang Shusheng looked at the two huge battleships under construction with emotion, a Shenlong-class battleship and a Yaolong-class battleship.

The current maximum capacity of the battleship factory is to start construction of two battleships at the same time. Compared with the scale of some battleship factories that can start construction of several or even several ships at the same time, it is still inferior.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Our current material reserves are enough to build three Shenlong-class battleships and two Yaolong-class battleships. According to the current manufacturing progress, if we work overtime, they will be completed in the second half of next year."

Hatton said that in today's highly automated and highly integrated world, the production of warships no longer takes extremely long years. Warship parts that are broken down into several parts are manufactured simultaneously in hundreds of factories, especially

A giant factory like the Super Machinery Manufacturing Center can produce five ships a year as long as there is sufficient energy and materials and the machines do not shut down.

In low-level civilizations, the production speed of battleships is not slow. The Longshan Empire has a total of tens of thousands of battleship-level battleships, and hundreds of battleships are updated every year. This does not include battle losses. If a battleship

If production takes several years or even ten years, production will never keep up with the rate of consumption.

"It is better to postpone the production of the Shenlong class first and build one as the flagship. The other materials should be used to build five Yaolong class battleships."

For the 30 million loan in the third year, if you don’t get some warships and sell them to repay the capital, then you will probably go bankrupt.

If it was only a 3 million loan, I would probably be able to take the fleet out and grab it once, but with a huge sum of 30 million cosmic coins, I'm afraid even grabbing it several times wouldn't be enough.

The tax for both Quinn and Gama is up to 10 million cosmic coins per year.

In addition, Zhang Shusheng is also planning to make two trips to foreign trade.

The three planets, including the capital planet Earth, will usher in the first wave of high-end crop and animal harvests next year. The empire will first use the newly-incoming RMB to make settlements, and then transport them to alien planets and sell them into cosmic coins. Zhang Shusheng estimated that as long as

Anyone who can buy such a large amount of goods will be able to earn at least 10 million universe coins.

The three life planets, the total income from the hard work for several years, is already a very high number. After all, Zhang Shusheng has no shortage of technology and seeds. The three life planets are all super life planets, and the planting and breeding are not lacking.

Anything less is very popular in the second-level civilization.

This income is also one of Zhang Shusheng’s biggest reliance on repayment next year.[

The battleship factory that was moved back with more than 200 million universe coins spent another three years of hard work on its renovation. All the points in the three years were used to exchange for materials and equipment. Such a battleship manufacturing base that Zhang Shusheng put all his efforts into building, if not

Zhang Shusheng himself would find it difficult to imagine building a few warships to make money and pay off debts.

Those equipments that were shipped in great quantities, those that could be exchanged for several machines and equipment, and then exchanged for half of the fleet's points, were concentrated and poured into the battleship manufacturing base and other supporting factories, just to have a golden egg.

of chicken.

It can be said that Zhang Shusheng used three years, a loan of 300 million, and three years of points to carry out a major upgrade of the empire's industrial capabilities around the battleship manufacturing base, and the battleships that could be sold were the result of this major upgrade.

review.

"If only one Shenlong-class battleship is built, then the remaining materials are barely enough for five Yaolong-class battleships. Well, it must be no problem."

Hatton was stunned, and then he understood that the empire was in financial crisis, and that the cosmic currency loan with a total principal and interest of 300 million had been poured out by his own hands.

Although they all ended up in the hands of those creditors, the battleship factory at least survived.

If His Majesty can sell five Yaolong-class battleships, the problem of financial constraints can be alleviated. With money, the empire can increase investment, expand factories, and produce more Shenlong-class and Yaolong-class battleships.

"Well, that's it, let's focus on the production of Yaolong-class battleships first. We will postpone the production of Shenlong-class battleships for our own use. Feilong-class battleships are sold as cannon fodder battleships, and the profit is relatively low. Let's wait until the next year."

Zhang Shusheng thought about it and concluded that the Shenlong-class battleships are for personal use and cannot be sold externally, while the Yaolong-class battleships can be sold externally and have large profit margins, so production is naturally a priority.

However, after he made this decision, less than a month later, an urgent message was sent back to the Capital Star.

It was early in the morning. Zhang Shusheng had just finished drinking his morning tea and was about to start a busy day of work. There was a rapid knock on the door.

Mao Yunxian and Su Yuren walked in quickly, and the latter reported nervously, "Your Majesty, our patrol ship just sent back the news that an unknown spacecraft was found in the m33n25p69 star field." (To be continued)
