Machine War: Infinite Frontier

Information about Alliance Star is still quite tightly sealed. For the sake of stability, some people may know that something happened to Alliance Star but don't know what happened, but most people still know nothing about it.

Xiao Yun has no way to send anyone over to understand the situation now, but it's a bit worrying for Kruse and the others that no news has come back after such a long time has passed.

There is still a chance for a collision while the federal fleet has not passed by, but when the federal fleet really surrounds the Alliance star, then the collision will not be a simple collision. It will simply drive the human federation towards a dead end. It is purely If you add fuel to the fire, the situation will definitely be a fight to the death.

When there are no external enemies, Yin Mian Doudou can rely on his own methods. He can mislead in various ways and even attack the opponent's military fortress to achieve his goal. But in this situation, Xiao Yun has never thought of betraying the world.

Watching the federal army's super fleet leave Xiao Yun, he turned around and sat on the sofa. He glanced at Gina, who was communicating with others, and just sat on the sofa and started eating.

Until Gina came over after finishing her work for a while, and opened a projection screen with a snap of her fingers: "Have a look."

Xiao Yun glanced at the content on the screen and couldn't help but raised his eyebrows slightly: "What's going on? It's increased so much?"

What was on the screen was not a strange thing but a list. After hearing Xiao Yun's words, Gina also glanced at Xiao Yun: "The prices of all raw materials have increased by 30%, but what's the price?" Our prices have not changed."

Xiao Yun said: "Is it just targeting us?"

"Not really, the joint enterprise only increased by 10%." Gina shook his head and said to Xiao Yun: "You know what has increased the most now."

Xiao Yun thought thoughtfully: "Energy?"

Gena laughed: "No, it's weapons. Things like energy can be used satisfactorily in this era. Of course, this presupposes that the world has not fallen into the dark age."

Xiao Yun curled his lips: "Speak directly."

"The price has to be raised."

Before Xiao Yun opened his mouth, Gina continued: "Now we are losing money on each unit we produce ourselves, and for a long time we may not be able to get our due dividends and our authorized production fees from the joint enterprise. It is not enough to balance our income and expenditure. Shuguang Industry is a company on the surface. Even if it does not make money, no company will do business at a loss, not to mention that the raw materials we need do not appear out of thin air. "

Xiao Yun said: "Can't you just communicate with the joint command directly about this kind of thing?"

"I can't say." Gina narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You have to do this. You can say whatever you want, but I can't. We can pay the original price for this batch of machines, but the rest must be at the normal price." The price can be adjusted at any time according to the situation, and one more important thing is that we need a larger production line.”

Xiao Yun understood immediately: "Battleship?"

Gina pointed to a certain direction outside: "The first to get to the moon is the one near the water."

Only now did Xiao Yun realize that this was what Gina had in mind. The current Shuguang Industry could not be considered as having truly entered the warship industry. Although it had designed a brand new warship for TMC, its extremely low productivity was more like a custom-made workshop than a A true manufacturer of battleships.

Even so far, they only have one thing that can really be regarded as a battleship, and it is still the kind that cannot be seen in the light.

But compared to manufacturing the body, the adapted production line can produce MS in an assembly line like a car, but the battleship is different. This so-called production line is two different things from the MS. It is a complete set of integrated products. Specialized solutions can greatly speed up the entire process of manufacturing warships. What Gena needs is not the backward workshop model.

Seeing that Xiao Yun was also thinking seriously, Gina simply called up a new picture: "Just this thing, a dock-type arsenal. The small one can manufacture four to five warships at the same time, and can manufacture different sizes. A warship with a width of no more than 400 meters and over 600 meters can accommodate 20,000 to 30,000 people working inside. According to the current data, the cycle can take up to fourteen days at the earliest, which is very scary. "

Xiao Yun looked at the picture with the universe in the background, which was a bit difficult to compare: "How big is this thing?"

"It's about ten kilometers away. It's basically made of suitable asteroids, so the layout will be somewhat different. This thing is a stepping stone for our Dawn Industry to go further."

After finishing these words, Gena paused and continued: "Actually, we are also capable of producing this kind of thing. The scale of Fortress X is not smaller than this arsenal, but Shuguang Industry clearly needs this thing."

Xiao Yun nodded: "I'll contact General Jonson and ask."

A space-type manufacturing dock is not a rare item in any world that has set foot in the universe, but it is indeed a bit scary to be able to achieve a cycle efficiency of 14 days at the fastest.

This thing is very valuable and very important at first glance. Xiao Yun knew that it might be quite difficult to deal with, especially in this situation.

Xiao Yun made a direct phone call to Jonson, and Xiao Yun told Jonson that Shuguang was preparing to officially start manufacturing warships. He said that he was interested in the kind of small manufacturing shipyard that Gena mentioned and asked Jonson if it had anything to do with it.

This question confused Johnson for a moment. After calming down, he tried to persuade Xiao Yun earnestly, saying that it was impossible to find someone willing to sell it in the current situation. This thing was almost equivalent to a high-level strategic facility. Xiao Yun should not be too ambitious. Now it is best to develop Shuguang step by step. Mass-produced mechas, more powerful weapons, higher-performance giants and small carriers are very promising. There is no need to make large ships.

If Shuguang Industry really wants to enter the warship industry, it has to do it step by step. He can help to build two production lines for small carriers.

Xiao Yun also knew that it would be impossible to get this thing through Johnson's channel. Then he told Johnson that the price of raw materials had increased, which led to an increase in production costs. This batch of aircraft could be sold at the price agreed before, but the subsequent prices needed to be adjusted.

After hearing this, Johnson agreed immediately, and then Gina took the intercom and discussed with Johnson for more than an hour, and then ended the call.

Xiao Yun didn't have the patience to listen to someone else's communication for more than an hour. He waited until Gina hung up the phone before moving his eyes away from the movie playing on the big screen. Looking at Gina who was quite satisfied, he asked, "Has it been negotiated?"

Gina said, "It's been negotiated. The production line of small carriers and various ship manufacturing equipment that have been replaced."

Xiao Yun: "Is that dock a cover?"

Gina shook his head: "Not really. If it can be done in one step, of course it would be good. If not, we can only take the second option. After all, we can't create a warship production line out of nothing under the noses of TMC, the Federal Army and the Free Alliance. The obsolete ones can be upgraded, and the broken ones can be repaired. If we can't get the best, we can make it ourselves. It's always more convenient to buy something that's not good enough than to buy a complete dock. In this way, our warship mass production capacity will not be surprising, and small carriers are actually very popular in the market."

The process from zero to one is the most difficult, but once this breakthrough is completed, the subsequent development and fission will become quite simple.

Gina had his own ideas in doing this. After all, he was in charge of Shuguang Industry and he knew the situation best. Shuguang was still too small to be compared with those real giant companies. The bigger Shuguang became, the more things it could conceal and tamper with. At that time, there would be enough resources and productivity to make more warships for them. The production of warships could not be completely dependent on Fortress X. This step must be taken for future development. If you want to develop details, you can rely on the support of other worlds, but you can only use the resources of this world to do it comprehensively and quickly. These things can only be promoted by him.

However, Gina did a good job in managing Shuguang Industry. The scale of Shuguang Industry is at least three times larger than that of Shuguang Industry at the beginning. The area is also getting larger and larger. It has gradually become an industrial town, but it is still full of birdsong and flowers. The natural atmosphere is quite strong.

Another half a month passed, and Xiao Yun finally got news about Cruze and others, but it was not sent back by Cruze but through other channels.

X organization appeared again, and the three parties fought in a melee. The coalition army suffered heavy losses. The aliens were hit hard and stopped their offensive. Cruze led the team to appear and confused the coalition army and the aliens. In particular, the appearance of the silly bird was the most unexpected situation. However, the smartest thing was the joint command. It seemed that it had noticed the purpose of X organization and took the initiative to retreat and let the silly bird and X organization take the lead.

Then the aliens launched a more fierce counterattack like crazy, but this situation began to change after the arrival of the federal army's super-large fleet. But at this time, Cruze had already led his men to retreat under the cover of the silly bird, leaving the aliens to continue to stand there like a stubborn head.

However, there was no more detailed intelligence at all. This little information was obtained from General Johnson's men and then analyzed.

Knowing that Cruze had taken action and successfully evacuated Xiao Yun, he was relieved, which meant that their mission should have been a complete success.

While waiting for Cruze to return, Xiao Yun also felt very bored. Sometimes he would think if he released the things in the door of Chimera, would the world become more lively? However, this idea only came up for a while and then was dispelled. Some things can be done, and some things cannot be done.

Not to mention that if there is a problem in Chimera, it may affect the layout of the Alliance Star. At that time, the Dawn Industry and Dawn Ecological Park that he had developed in Chimera with great difficulty would also be blown up, which would be a loss.

Finally, Xiao Yun, who had nothing to do, waited for the returning large force at Fortress X, and personally waited at the port to see Cruze, Silly Bird and other people return safely.

He also saw several hibernation capsules sent out from the ship, as well as insect corpses that were completely different from vajra.

After these things were sent to the place where they should go as soon as possible, Xiao Yun nodded to everyone: "You have worked hard, and you should have a good rest next."

Naturally, everyone dispersed without any objection, and it was time to relax and rest. Silly Bird wanted to go back, so Xiao Yun sent him back directly.

Only Cruze, Tieria and Mu followed Xiao Yun to the area where the experimental department was located.

Xiao Yun can clearly see the stuff in the hibernation capsule through the big screen. The individual sleeping with eyes closed has a very similar appearance to humans, but no one who sees it will think it is a human.

This is even bigger than the difference between the miniaturized Gerardi and humans, not counting the non-miniaturized ones.

The body shape is very similar to humans, but the body is stronger than normal humans, and the height is taller, both over two meters, but the skin color is completely different, showing a gray-blue tone, cold feeling, fingers are longer and sharper than humans, the color of the nails is also black, and the hair is basically green.

As the first individual in the hibernation capsule was taken out, it was immediately sent to the stage for research. Tieria's eyes were always bright, which should be uploading all the information during this period.

Xiao Yun looked at the alien being studied on the screen and said, "What's going on? Where's the small mecha?"

Kruze was also looking at the situation inside: "That's not a mecha but an exoskeleton armor. This is a more accurate description. See the crystal on the chest of this experimental subject? This thing seems to be the starter of the armor."

Xiao Yun took a look and found that there was indeed a piece of crystal with a special design on the chest of this experimental subject. It was as gray as the skin of the experimental subject, like a piece of broken glass.

Xiao Yun said: "Is it like this at the beginning?"

Kruze shook his head: "No, it was colored at the beginning but now it has turned gray, just like an unactivated PS armor. As for the situation, we can only know after the research is completed."

"Wake him up."

"I can't do it." Cruze continued to shake his head and said: "These warriors have a strong desire to fight. Their souls have all been devoured by the demon. Otherwise, as long as they still have the ability to move, they will continue to resist fearlessly. We have tried many times without exception. It is impossible to bring back samples without using this method."

"And we also conducted some basic tests. The genetic structure of these aliens is completely different from that of humans. Although they look similar in appearance, they are completely different races from humans. Even in World 4, the difference between humans and other civilized races is not so huge."
