One Thousand and Ninety Heavy Losses
Looking at a report in his hand, Marion rubbed his brows, and said with emotion: "Even we can't afford this consumption..."
He felt that in the past few days, everything he did was trying his best to burn money! Yes, burning money, that's the only way to describe his feeling of spending money like water every day.
This feeling is not so comfortable, and in the past hundreds of years, he never imagined that he would have such a luxury one day.
As the commander of the Alan Siris star ring of the Alan Hill Empire, his daily job is to approve the use of a large amount of funds to build a number of spaceships that he himself can't believe!
Various spaceships! There are exploration-class space destroyers for combat, spaceships for space exploration, and of course a large number of space transport ships!
In short, the entire star ring is busy now. The construction of the space port and the construction of the spaceship are carried out almost at the same time. The various parts are then immediately shipped off and assembled where they are needed.
The amount of money spent every day is simply indescribable: just steel and magic spar, the amount consumed is enough to support the original magic empire to spend money like water for hundreds of years!
In fact, Marion also knew that for the Alan Hill Empire, this was just the beginning. In the following days, every day, every month, we must invest in such production...
It will not stop for a while until the Alan Hill Empire controls enough resources and is unable to continue to expand.
Of course, the pause is only short-lived, and soon the entire empire will continue to expand outward, expanding to any place that the exploration spacecraft can reach!
This mode is actually a mode commonly used by the Alan Hill Empire, and it is a gambling-like mode that those empires have never used before.
In the early years of the development of the Alan Hill Empire, the large amount of funds injected by the Longtate family gave the Alan Hill Empire or Chris a taste of the sweetness of loan development.
Ever since, in the subsequent series of decision-making of the Alan Hill Empire, it became a habit to eat more than enough food.
It seems that the Alan Hill Empire has never thought of developing honestly, and every period of it is accompanied by crazy expansion and almost crazy early investment.
Throughout the period of the rise of the Alan Hill Empire, Serris was full of large-scale factories that were directly built-it was not expanded from a small factory, but directly invested in funds, directly in the Build a large-scale factory in the wilderness.
No businessman would invest in this way, because when the factory was built, the place might still be in the wilderness, without even a road!
But when the factory is built, the roads there are also built—this is a planned sequence of construction with no rewards in the early stage.
However, once these facilities are built, the power it can exert is several times that of conventional development!
The advantage of this development model is that it can rely on strong capital and resources, skip the initial accumulation and immediately increase the country's production capacity.
The disadvantages are naturally obvious. As long as the expansion is frustrated, the entire model will collapse, and a seemingly huge empire will be wiped out in an instant.
Of course, Marion also knew that, no matter from any point of view, this unprecedented cosmic empire did not have the risk of collapse in an instant...
So he bowed his head again, and replied to an application to immediately start construction of two new space transport ships in the No. 3 space port under construction: "Agreed."
Just when he lifted the pen, the assistant pushed in through the door and handed a report to Maureen: "My lord! This is the news just confirmed, the 160th exploration spacecraft has lost contact."
"Lost contact again?" McRain frowned, and then took the report: "Didn't this spaceship just come back for a replenishment? Isn't their luck very good?"
"My lord... there is no way for such a thing as luck.
"The assistant explained with some embarrassment.
Anyway, in the past two days, they have heard such news every day, and their hearts are a little numb.
Before, a spaceship crashed, and all departments on the entire star ring would regret it for a while.
Even, some places will organize some commemorative ceremonies, or hold some kind of festival.
But now, the crash speed of these spaceships is faster than the speed of the memorial service. Everyone no longer feels sorry for the crashed spaceship, because everyone has no energy to care about the crashed spaceship.
Every day, all the workers on Star Ring have to work overtime to produce spaceships. How can they have time to remember those old spaceships that have become space junk?
Marion may be the only one who is still sensitive to this number. He raised his head and looked at his assistant: "Counting the just confirmed spacecraft 198, we have already lost half of the exploration spacecraft!"
"Yes, my lord... We have lost half of the spaceship!" The assistant nodded, confirming the frustrating news.
"Yesterday, 30 spaceships crashed in just over a day... Today we lost another 20 ships... How can we explain to His Majesty!" Marilyn muttered, picking up a copy from the table. document.
In fact, he was not in the mood to read the file at all, and grabbing the file was just a habitual action. It was only when he faced the documents that he realized that he was in a state of confusion, so he put down the documents in his hand again.
Then, he looked at his assistant and asked, "Your Majesty already knows this news?"
"Yes, my lord, almost at the same time, we sent a telegram to His Majesty...but His Majesty has no new instructions, maybe..." the assistant wanted to say, maybe His Majesty didn't read the report at all.
"No, it's impossible for His Majesty not to have read the report... He also confirmed the number of crashed spaceships yesterday... Now, His Majesty is also patient, enduring the loss of speed of this spaceship!" McRaen exhaled for a long time. In one breath, it seemed as if he had made some kind of determination.
Then he squeezed his fist and said to his assistant: "Let the remaining exploration spacecraft continue their mission!"
This is his responsibility, even if he is responsible for this responsibility in the end, he must persist until the last moment! This is his loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor, his unswerving loyalty until death.
