Zerg OL: This game is a bit dry

"Based on the tasks currently issued by civilization, it shouldn't take me long to accumulate enough funds."

"Although the rewards I received before are enough to buy a flagship, there is no way to buy other military vehicles. My goal is to get a complete formation, not just a single battleship."

The previous battle had already made the captain feel extremely uncomfortable.

When it came down to it, the biggest problem in that battle was that he didn't have a completely independent formation, so he had to obey orders most of the time, and this was the most annoying part for him.

If you have a complete and independent team, you can accept tasks according to your own situation.

But if not, then it would be different. It would be impossible for me to accept the task according to the original idea.

This is what gives him the most headache, everything else is fine.

But think about it, there is nothing you can do about it. After all, when you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. He is very clear about this truth.

Fortunately, everything was still manageable, and at least I completed the mission alive.

There are so many things to consider when joining someone else's team. Just the fact that the other team's commanders are stupid enough can make his blood pressure rise.

The main reason is that the other side is really troublesome, and sometimes the death rate of the troops under their command is very high. In fact, there are other better ways, but in order to complete the task without any problems, they chose to take the risk.

And this is the problem. If he takes the risk, the treatment he will receive will naturally not be very good.

After all, he and most of the other people in the formation were outsiders, so the other party had no feelings for them at all, so most of the time they had no choice.

He saw too many teammates being destroyed for various reasons, which made him realize immediately that sometimes things are not as simple as imagined.

As outsiders, we can never escape being under the control of others.

All kinds of painful and high-risk tasks are assigned to outsiders like these. Although the other party will also send out a formation, the value of the other party's formation is completely not equal to the value of the formation paid by their side.

This also made him realize that living under someone else's roof is definitely not a good choice. In this world, the best route is to rely on oneself, not on anything else. Only when you are strong can you be truly strong.

So this time he paid everything, first of all the money to buy the flagship, and he naturally planned to use all the money he saved for himself.

First he purchased some related special warships.

For example, he purchased quite a few mining ships, industrial ships, and reconnaissance ships.

He wanted to save enough money from these warships so that he could buy some conventional warships.

In addition, there are many things he needs to prepare.

If a fleet wants to reach a certain scale, it will have to pay a lot.

The first is the warships of the entire fleet. The price of warships is not cheap, so a lot of money will be spent here.

Secondly, the maintenance costs of the warship, ammunition costs and other miscellaneous expenses add up to no small amount. Even if the warship is not moved, the expenses of the personnel inside the warship and some miscellaneous expenses of the warship itself add up to a huge number every day.

A battleship-class warship must have at least 400 people on board, while a cruiser would have relatively fewer.

But even so, the number of people in the entire formation is at least five or six thousand.

Five or six thousand people is not a small number, and the salaries of these special operations personnel are not low, so when you add it all up, the expense is very exaggerated. When there are no combat missions, these warships are basically left gathering dust. Only when there are combat missions, will these warships be sent out. And the most important thing is that even after they are sent out, you still have to consider the issue of losses, and the daily expenses when fighting are at another level.

The most taboo thing for a formation is not being able to participate in a war, because as long as there is a war, everything will be fine.

The benefits provided by the war are enormous, allowing them to easily maintain the expenses of the fleet and still make a profit, but if there is no war then the problem will be huge.

This is a very rigid thing and you have to rely on your own family assets to maintain it.

So he needed something that could provide a large amount of income in a long-term and stable manner, and this thing, without a doubt, was the mining team.

Under normal circumstances, after the mining team's ships arrive at the mining site, they will place space storage boxes and some other storage equipment on their side, so basically all the collected ore will be placed in them, and there will be relatively less work in transportation. Only after the warehouse is full will large-scale and rapid transportation be carried out, so that efficiency can be maximized.

When storing ore, he had a lot of things to do, such as sending teams to some resource areas to take on some transportation tasks.

In this way, we can say that we have achieved the best of both worlds. These industries are always busy, so the income will continue to flow in.

"It seems that I need to consider updating the transport ship. The current industrial sector can indeed meet my recent needs, but my needs are not limited to these."

As he spoke, he fell into deep thought.

Perhaps he should consider buying a cargo ship. Although this type of warship is very expensive, its space transportation capacity is very exaggerated. The transportation capacity of a cargo ship is 50 times that of an ordinary large-capacity industry.

Only such a huge transportation volume can meet his current needs.

Of course, this level of performance is not as easy to decide as imagined, because there are two types of mainstream transport ships in civilization.

The first type is an ordinary cargo ship. The second type is a deep space transport cargo ship.

There are a lot of things to say about these two types of warships. First of all, the upper one has the largest transport capacity, while the lower one has only half of it. But the difference is also obvious. The upper one has poor maneuverability, and the jumping distance is very short, and it is easily disturbed by space.

To put it simply, the most important thing about the upper ship is its guaranteed transport capacity, while the lower one is different. Although its transport capacity is much lower, its maneuverability, or space jumping ability and jumping strength are all very strong.

There is no need to worry about encountering the enemy, because this type of warship can escape if it encounters the enemy. On the one hand, it is safer, but it loses half of the transportation space. On the other hand, it is unsafe, but the transportation volume is guaranteed.

He was actually very conflicted about how to make a decision. Just when he was still struggling with it, suddenly a communication request caught his attention.

He knew the person who sent the communication request as Chris, with whom he had previously performed missions in the same formation.

'Chris, long time no see.'
As soon as the call was connected, the captain greeted me warmly.

"Captain, I heard that you are purchasing a large number of industrial parts and other certificates recently. Are you preparing to start your own fleet?" Chris did not beat around the bush and asked the question that he was more concerned about.

This year's captain couldn't help but frown slightly. He was a little confused. Why did Chris suddenly bring up this topic? But he nodded. After all, what he did was not something to be ashamed of. He just had to admit it.

"That's right. I've been collecting industrial parts and some combat warships. Chris, do you have a way to sell some to me?"

"Come on, Captain. You know my situation. Even if I had money, I wouldn't buy a warship. It's too risky. It's really unnecessary, especially for someone like you who builds a fleet. I know a lot of people who build fleets, and basically they all change their careers in the end."
"This business is too risky, but I wish you good luck."

"Oh, I forgot to mention the main business. This time I contacted you because I received a piece of inside information. I felt that this information might be very useful to you, so I came to ask you."

Hearing this, the captain immediately became interested and asked what the news was.
"It's like this. A friend of mine received intelligence that United Mining has launched a new ship, and this warship is a flagship-level warship."

“And it’s a mining ship.”

The captain was also a little surprised to hear this.

"A new type of warship, and a flagship for mining, this is quite interesting. Aren't ordinary mineral springs selling well at United Mining? Why would they think of launching this new warship? You know the investment and purpose of developing a new warship is especially high for a flagship."

You should know that every new ship has to undergo various tests before it comes out to judge its performance.

A lot of resources need to be invested in the research and development process. In short, the cost of this wave is very exaggerated. In this case, each new ship must be stable enough. Take the series of mining ships currently launched by United Mining as an example.
Their mining volumes are very high.

And as for the price, although it is very expensive for ordinary people, people with a certain amount of capital can afford it, so the market demand and market space are still relatively large. It is for this reason that they spent a lot of money to research this and are not worried about any so-called losses.

After all, the market is so big that there is no need to worry, but the problem is that the new warships are of this level. You must know that the audience of the flagship itself is very small. In this case, although there are many major forces that will buy it.

But most of them choose to fight. After all, only the income from fighting can maintain such huge consumption.

So, a warship like this one, which is mainly used to collect resources, immediately piqued his interest. You know, in such a small market, they still made such a choice, which was enough to illustrate one thing, that is, they were sure that they could ensure that their warship could be sold.

And the market scope is very large, otherwise they will definitely lose money in this wave.

Seeing that he was interested in us, Chris didn't keep us in suspense, but directly sent him some relevant data and asked him to take a look.

When the captain saw the battleship data he was stunned.

"Finback-class flagship industrial ship."

Next comes the relevant data of this battleship, and this data is also very exaggerated. First of all, the various attributes of the battleship are comparable to those of a conventional small aircraft carrier.

As a flagship mining ship, he has a combat capability similar to Xiaohang, which is enough to show that he is not simple.

Its combat method is the same as that of an aircraft carrier, which is to fight through ship-borne drones.

And it itself can provide a lot of auxiliary bonuses for the drone.

This makes its combat effectiveness not weak. It is no exaggeration to say that it can even be used as a main battle ship. However, it is obviously impossible because its price is much more expensive than those small aircraft carriers.

His fighting power is mainly used for self-protection.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that its bonus is more than twice that of the current mainstream mining plus ship riding. That is, it provides assistance in the fleet, so the mining efficiency of all warships in the fleet must at least double the original basis. This alone is exaggerated enough.

This is not all. While providing bonuses, this ship can also continue to mine.

He can send out special drones for mining, and this special drone can only be carried by him. This is his specially equipped special drone, and it can also be regarded as an industrial base in itself. When collecting, it can process the ore, and it is also equipped with high-density compression equipment to compress the processed ore into high-density ore to greatly reduce its volume.

According to the data provided, the original ore ratio and the ratio after compression reached an astonishing 10:1.
That is to say, with the same cargo warehouse, he can now store 10 times the amount of ore, and he also has an ore warehouse and a goods warehouse. The two warehouses together reach the loading capacity for deep space transportation.

It is no exaggeration to say that with this battleship, it may have taken him 10 days to load all the goods before, but now, if the size of his mining team does not expand, it will take at least 100 days. Such a long time means that his other fitness can go to work. Of course, this is only an ideal quality. In fact, because of the possibility of bonus, he only needs about 30 days to load the goods, while others may need one or two hundred days to mine the amount. This is the horror of his bonus.

Naturally, this data made the captain excited. He knew without even thinking that he had to take this battleship.

Of course, he is not stupid. He knows that such a supernatural power means that its price is not cheap, and now it has only demonstrated a certain degree of its functions. There may be more functions that have not been demonstrated. (End of this chapter)
