Chapter 184 The Threat Brought by the Shata United Empire

The major groups are very cooperative in this regard. After all, they used to eat food made of various bugs, or artificially synthesized food. The taste is simply indescribable.

Even if the powerful and noble people in Cybertron are eating a little better, they are not much better.

Now there is enough land to grow all kinds of delicious food that were only recorded in historical materials before, and they are more motivated than anyone else.

Up to now, the five super-agricultural areas in Gaowei Fortress, each with ten floors, and a total of fifty floors have all been reclaimed, or some have been reclaimed and various food crops have been planted.

The reclamation conditions of pastures are much lower than those of farmland. Three pastoral areas, each with ten floors, a total of thirty floors, have also been reclaimed. A number of livestock genetic clones have been cloned and cubs are being bred. The fastest growing ones are Chickens, ducks and other small poultry have already been out of the pen once.

Other aquatic areas and cash crop areas are also being developed and planted at this time, and the first batch of crops will definitely be produced within two years.

In other words, the food crisis in the territory has actually been resolved at this time, and there will soon be excess that can be stockpiled or sold.

This is not a small income.

The total area of ​​the agricultural area in the super livable zone is 1000 kilometers * 1000 kilometers = 100 million square kilometers, and each square kilometer = 1500 acres. There are a total of 15 billion acres on the first floor. The average grain yield per mu at this stage is about 2000 kilograms per quarter. The grain output is about 30000 trillion kilograms.

Considering the problems related to land fertility and other reasons, the food grown in agricultural areas is three seasons a year, that is, the annual output is 90000 trillion kilograms.

The average price in the grain market is only 1 star yuan per kilogram, and 90000 trillion kilograms is only 90000 trillion yuan.

However, there are a total of 50 agricultural areas here, which add up to 450 trillion kilograms, worth 450 trillion stars.

"Sure enough, it's not that farming doesn't make money, but that you don't grow enough."

So much food is definitely not enough to use up. Even if the Orb people and Saibo people can use about 44 trillion kilograms a year, even if some 50 trillion is wasted, there will be more than 400 trillion kilograms of extra food.

Store part of it as strategic grain reserves, and sell the other part, which will become a major financial pillar of the territory in the future.

After solving the food problem, the most difficult part has actually passed, and most of the other problems can be solved with money.

What should I do if I don’t have that much money temporarily?
Then just go slower.

Eat as much food as you have, and do as many things as you have money.

And after solving the biggest problem of food, the rest is a matter of time. According to the funds you currently have, budget your expenditure and income, and then decide the speed of development.

Li Qing briefly glanced at the territory development plan for the past six months. Under Yu Yuefei's management, the territory was well constructed while ensuring stability.

Thanks to his decision to place the headquarters of the expeditionary force in the territory galaxy, the territory is now a gathering place for many players. Although there is no way to collect tax from players, with players there, basically all the output of the territory can be sold.

After resting for two days, Li Qing contacted Yu Qingzhi and visited him the next day.

Still in the same office, Yu Qingzhi personally made tea and pushed it in front of him, smiling and saying:

"I haven't seen you for a long time. Where did you get rich?"

Li Qing picked up the teacup and took a sip, feeling that the taste was better than last time, with a smile on his face.

With the successful establishment and stabilization of the territory, his status will naturally increase, and now he is not inferior to the commander of the expeditionary force in terms of status.

In other words, from the perspective of the entire United Human Empire, he is even higher, because he is an official planet lord and is listed in the Senate of the Empire, and Yu Qingzhi, the commander of the expeditionary force, is not included in it.

After drinking two cups of clear tea, Li Qing raised his head and said to Yu Qingzhi:
"Let me tell you some good news first. The batch of warships you ordered is almost completed. There is still about a month left before the Titan super flagship will be completed."

Yu Qingzhi's hand in making tea paused, and his face showed a slightly shocked expression:

"So fast?"

He nodded:
"Correct!"

"It's less than two years now, right? I remember that the construction time of super flagships usually takes ten years. It only took two years for you to build it. This is too..."

Li Qing smiled slightly, with a hint of complacency on his face:
"In just two years, my super dock comes from an ancient super civilization. The shipbuilding speed is very fast, and it can be completed in only two years."

Yu Qingzhi was shocked and speechless. After a moment of silence, a smile appeared on his face and he said:
"That's very good. I will take over the completed ones first, and then take over the Titans in a month."

Li Qing nodded:

"anytime."

"By the way, are you still taking orders? I want to order a batch, including blueprints for two flagships."

Li Qing thought about it for a moment, shook his head and said:
"I have a batch of battleships and several flagships on hand. I will build mine first and then form a standard brigade-level fleet!"

This is only part of it. He is also planning to take the time to update Cuerta's garrison division to increase its combat power.

Yu Qingzhi didn't force it, but nodded in understanding and said:

"Indeed, your own fleet strength has not increased for a long time. You need to form at least a brigade-level fleet to maintain the suppression of the Orbs and face the Shatta people's counterattack in the future."

"By the way, there is one thing you may not be aware of. In fact, the Shatar people completely defeated the Shar civilization more than half a year ago. After the main force was freed up, the Red Moon team's independent plan in the western province has failed. Now the main force of the Shata United Empire is attacking the Sivis Civilization, and at the same time a large number of troops have been added to Locke Fortress, and there are now three full divisions stationed there."

"Oh!"

Li Qing was a little surprised, but also a little lucky that the Shata Civilization did not send troops to attack their territory.

"It seems that they want to settle down first, defeat the Shar and Sivis first, digest the two civilizations, and then deal with us."

Yu Qingzhi nodded and said:

"The Great Emperor of the United Empire of Shata is very talented and capable. He is the son of destiny that is rare in the Shata civilization for a thousand years. Under his iron fist, he unified the eight tribes that used to fight independently. The strength of the empire skyrocketed, and it faced three battlefields at the same time. Fight and win."

"Now that the Shar people have been annexed, Sivis is not their opponent at all. Judging from the information we have now, the Sivis civilization is estimated to only last for one or two years. In addition to digesting the two civilizations and preparation time, there will be more time left." We don't have much time to prepare, at least three years, and at most four or five years, they will definitely launch an attack on Jialan Ling."

He looked at Li Qing and said in a deep voice:

"According to the worst-case scenario, you only have at most two years to face the unified Shata United Empire. Are you sure?"

Li Qing pondered for a while, then raised his head and asked:

"Uncle Qing, does he have detailed information on the Shata United Empire? How many total troops do they have now?"

"The information currently available shows that the Shata United Empire currently has only one division stationed in the eastern province, and two in the western province. But when the remnants of the rebellion are completely wiped out, one will be transferred, and there will be one in the northern province. There are two divisions, and there are two divisions in the central province.”

"There are three divisions in Locke Province, and there are eight divisions in the northern expeditionary force against the Sivis Council."

"Taken together, the entire Shata United Empire has eighteen divisions, five of which are enhanced divisions. Among them, the central division is comparable in strength to three standard divisions, and is equipped with the latest fourth-generation technology. "

"Fourth generation technology?"

Yu Qingzhi nodded and said:

"You heard me right, the Shata civilization has actually studied the fourth generation of technology a long time ago. With the continuous annexation of the two major civilizations, the fire of civilization is boiling, and the destiny is coming. The research will be completed soon, and it will not take ten years. You can change the weapon to the fourth generation first.”

"hiss!"

Upgrading from the third generation to the fourth generation, it seems that only the weapon accessories have been changed, and there is only one generation difference, but in fact it is a qualitative change.

A single battleship of the same level has a third-level technology and a fourth-level technology. The fourth-level technology will be stronger, but it is limited, and it can also use tactics and command capabilities to compete head-on.

But when a civilization has eighteen division-level fleets and is fully improved, this improvement is exaggerated.

At the same time, the fourth-level civilization can already try to design a Titan super flagship or super aircraft carrier. Give them enough time, and they can also build a Titan super flag belonging to the Shata Tribe United Civilization. By then, their advantage will be even greater. Zoom out.

Li Qing said decisively:

"They cannot be given time to develop this."

Yu Qingzhi nodded and said:

"The same is true for the resolution of the Expeditionary Army Presbyterian Council, so after the restrictions are fully relaxed four years later, the three major legions of Jinmen will be introduced to enter the arena, and strive to defeat this civilization with strong potential before they fully change their outfits."

After returning from the headquarters, Li Qing told Yu Yuefei and Ding Youran the news.

He did not tell other core members, it was not necessary for the time being.

But he has already raised this matter to an extremely important level in his mind, and he must start preparing now.

"Tsk tsk, it's a little exciting!"

Li Qing felt his scalp numb when he thought about facing a full-scale attack by a fleet of eighteen divisions in three years.

With their current strength, they definitely cannot beat the siege of so many fleets.

Chu Yuan, or even if he is more powerful, he will be one against a few, but the problem is that the gap between the two fleets is dozens of times.

"We need to hurry up and build a fleet!"

Li Qing returned to the universe in his hand, and first launched the previously accumulated expeditionary force order fleet, and handed it over to the people sent by Yu Qingzhi, earning a total of 14.75 trillion star yuan in foundry fees.

Then re-enter the palm universe, and start to count the warships built during this period.

There are no battleships. During this period, all the battleships in Tun were from the expeditionary force, and the ones built next were his own.

Six months ago, there were only 100 groups of cruiser engineers, and a batch of 100 cruisers could be built in two months. A total of nine batches, or 18 cruisers, were built in a year and a half and 900 months.

But a year ago, he was promoted to a negative star, and the shipbuilding speed increased greatly. A cruiser can be built in only one month, and six more batches, or 600 additional cruisers, were produced in half a year.

In addition, he returned to the territory half a year ago and assigned a full 500 teams of cruiser construction engineers, six rounds in six months, each round of 500 cruisers, for a total of 3000 cruisers.

At this point, a total of 4500 cruisers have been stationed in the palm universe.

As for destroyers, there are only 3100.

It has nothing to do with the speed of shipbuilding. The main thing is that there are only so many destroyer blueprints. I am so busy these days that I have no time to work on them.

On the contrary, there are quite a lot of frigates.

Originally there were 500 groups of frigate engineers, and they could be built in half a month. A total of 18 batches, or 36 ships, were built in a year and a half and 18000 months.

Half a year ago, a large number of frigate engineers were added together, with a total of 2000 groups. After being promoted to Star Negative, the shipbuilding speed increased again. One batch could be built in 10 days, and 6 batches in half a year and 18 months, a total of 36000.

18000 ships + 36000 ships, a total of 54000 frigates.

Due to the lack of blueprints for various accessories, most of these warships are bare ships. Only 1500 cruisers and 3100 destroyers are fully equipped and can be put into service after being equipped with crew and captains.

Li Qing suddenly discovered a very important problem. With the promotion of frigate and cruiser mother chips to the fifth level, the blueprint of the ship is enough, but the blueprint of the weapon accessories is seriously lacking.

Although there is a trading market for this expeditionary force, it is very few. You have to go to the market in Tianjin to get a large number of blueprints.

And because Yu Yuefei was only in charge of the administration of the territory, not the military, she didn't know that there were so many blueprints missing, and she didn't let the Yu family and the Qinghe Li family prepare them.

"I have to go out."

But not necessarily to Jinmen, to other provinces in the hinterland of the United Empire of Mankind.

Due to the expeditionary force in Jinmen, wars are relatively frequent, the losses of battleships are also large, and the consumption of these blueprints is also large, so it is not necessarily possible to obtain many.

It's better to go to the hinterland of the United Empire of Mankind, those relatively peaceful provinces, where there are few wars, the players' demand for these blueprints is not high, and they can buy a large number of blueprints at once.

But before that, some money must be prepared.

At present, the territory's treasury has about 64 trillion yuan, but it owes 48 trillion yuan to the Yu's Chamber of Commerce, and 50 trillion interest-free loans to Qinghe Li's.

This money cannot be moved, and even if he has extra money, he has to add it.

He personally has 17.1 trillion in cash and 98 trillion worth of standard alloys.

It turns out that there is still 137 billion left, and a large part of it is used up in shipbuilding.

I don't have much cash on hand, but it's not a big problem. I really can't sell the materials. Standard alloys that have been smelted are very sought-after materials, and they can be sold at a high price anywhere.

Moreover, Li Lie and Hong Changfeng have not been idle in the past nine months. It just so happens that there is no war. They and most of their subordinates spend most of their time mining outside except for patrolling the core galaxies in the territory. Now they have accumulated accumulation in nine months. About 27000 trillion cubic meters, there are all kinds of mines.

It has been counted before, and about 3000 billion cubic meters of it are high-value mines, which adds up to 2000 billion cubic meters of the 5000 billion cubic meters previously collected.

The remaining 24000 trillion cubic meters are worthless minerals such as limestone and gray quartz, which are specially used to convert into rare crystals.

按照50000方原矿转化为1方稀有晶体来算，24000亿方能转化出4800万方稀有晶体，按稀有晶体单价80万一方来算，这4800万方稀有晶体值38.4万亿。

He collected these mines, and as a price, he distributed 1500 of the 1000 cruisers and 2000 destroyers that were equipped with weapons and accessories on hand, according to the raw ore they contributed.

It is equivalent to directly exchanging mines for ships.

Considering that there were only three months left before the one-year repayment period, Li Qing sent a message to each of the five creditors, explaining the situation, and repaid the money only after he came back.

Three months is enough to go out for a while and then come back, but he is afraid of accidents and delays, so let's be more stable first.
