Chapter 714

Unlocking 4 types of air force units at one time is a big gain, but the total unit limit of the Terran is still maintained at the quota, which has become a key factor restricting his violent troops. ￠￡, you must know that the Zerg upper limit is already high, and the system core upgrade can accommodate more Behemoths, which will bring another increase to the unit upper limit.

On the other hand, human beings, not to mention face-to-face, didn't even see a shadow of them. Emma, ​​this guy either didn't know what to ask, or just said that he didn't have enough authority to inquire, which really made him angry.

"Commander, the craft data of the Holy Spirit series aircraft carriers have all been entered into the Star Orbit Command Center."

At this moment, Emma's notification sound woke him up, and he said "Got it", dismissed the adjutant, and controlled the construction of a new star port next to the location of the science and technology laboratory to produce regular air forces such as Viking fighters and medical transport aircraft. Unit, and then turned his attention back to the present, walked out of the room, and walked towards the entrance of the archives area.

Seeing him coming out, Sun Lihai snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, and respectfully sent him back to the pier, waiting for Melore to return by plane, then bid farewell to several technical directors, flew straight out of the Atlantis space station, and sailed to the third floor. Intercept net.

Seeing the huge space station getting smaller and smaller, Tang Fang sighed, thinking that if one day the buildings in the system space could enter the real universe, how big would the starport that looks like a barracks or a heavy factory be? If it is the same as a combat unit, the total cost is divided by the size and then multiplied by the price in the game. The preparation of zero elements alone is enough for him to drink a pot.

It seems that after returning from the United Kingdom of Turanx, the "Morning Star Foundry" must be put into operation as soon as possible, and at the same time as commercial activities, large quantities of zero element resources must be collected. Also, the task of Grant, Walton, Johnny and others to acquire the minerals needed to make the dimensional lock is not known how they have been completed.

"His Royal Highness."

Hearing this address, Melore turned his head and glanced at him: "Dear Tang Fang, you can call me by my name directly."

"May... Melore."

He is very, very unaccustomed to calling his name directly in front of an old man, even if he has been in this era of great national integration for a long time. I still feel a little awkward about certain westernized communication methods.

"I'll call you Old Mei..."

Melore frowned: "That would call me old, it's a very rude thing."

"Are you a woman..." He muttered in a low voice, and said, "With the word 'old', it is a term of affection and respect for the elderly in our Chinese civilization."

"That's right... I like the name.

"

Tang Fang resisted the urge to give him the middle finger. Said: "How much does it cost to build such a space station?"

Melore glanced at the ecological plantation that cultivated new vegetables in the front left, and said casually: "It's not expensive, it's just a few hundred billion." After speaking, he remembered Tang Fang's identity again: "If it's a star coin, a billion enough."

"..." Tang Fang said with a sullen face, "I'm not talking about the ecological plantation. It's the big guy behind."

"The one in the back..." Melore thought for a while before he realized it. He turned his head extremely quickly, looked at his face and said, "You mean 'Atlantis'?"

Tang Fang nodded.

"What a courageous guy." The old guy's hand left the joystick, landed on his shoulder, and clapped it hard three times.

He was very speechless, so he could only keep silent, thinking that Henrietta is really miserable, having such a good brother. The point is how did such a second-rate guy who was very similar to Howson accumulate such prestige in the army, just relying on his status as a prince? That might be a factor. But certainly not the most critical factor.

This guy in front of him is a guy as famous as Turamon, who controls more than half of the 23rd Ranger Regiment's strength. He didn't expect to be so unstable, like an old urchin.

He changed his mind and thought again, I am afraid that only such a guy can give Turamon a loud fart in front of many ministers and lords at the joint meeting. Moreover, Melore is really bold. As a noble prince who holds military power, he dared to come to "Atlantis" with himself in a Kestrel-class shuttle without any frigates. I really don't know whether he thinks that he has a long life, or he is sure that the route is safe. If someone lays an ambush halfway, it will be a lot of fun.

Melore didn't know that he thought of so many questions in a flash. Seeing that he remained silent with a cold face, he laughed and said, "A large space station like 'Atlantis' that integrates scientific research, manufacturing, and maintenance will cost at least a dozen trillion star coins."

More than a dozen trillion... star coins.

Tang Fang remained silent, this time not because of Melore's speechless performance, but because of the three words "more than ten trillion".

The current liquidity in his hand is only 100 million. There is almost a double gap from more than ten megabytes.

100 million, which looks amazing, enough to build a shipbuilding plant that is inferior to the "Sigma" space station. However, compared with a big guy like "Atlantis", the gap is really too big.

More than a dozen trillion star coins are enough to buy tens of thousands of zero elements.

Seeing the frustration flashing in his eyes, Melor patted him on the shoulder again, and said comfortingly, "You know, Rome wasn't built in a day. Young man, don't be so ambitious, 'Atlantis' is all about Turan. It is one of the four most famous shipbuilding factories in the United Kingdom. In fact, its most important value is not the warship manufacturing line and maintenance capabilities, but the many scientific research laboratories covering the fields related to warship manufacturing, and the various talents inside. It is the foundation to ensure that the United Kingdom of Turanx will not be left behind in the arms race in the entire Hillenbel region."

"Thus, those docks, those production lines, and those ancillary facilities are not worth money. What is really worth trillions of wealth is technological competitiveness, just like the biological battleship modulation technology you have mastered."

"If someone puts a trillion star coin in front of you now and wants to change your biological battleship modulation technology, may I ask, do you want to change it?"

Tang Fang said: "That's a dream!"

Now he knew that Melore was different from Howson. The old man in front of him has gone through most of his life, has experienced many winds and rains, and has been struggling in the military and political circles for many years. How could he be as single-minded as Howson.

Just like the words above, the real value of "Atlantis" is its creativity that keeps pace with the times, not just a few warship production lines or large docks.

In the same way, he asked Henrietta for the process data of the Holy Spirit-class aircraft carrier, and he did not intend to produce the Holy Spirit-class aircraft carrier in the "Morning Star Casting". Then sell it to buyers, on the one hand, to unlock new technologies, and on the other hand, to explore a way to prepare a new aircraft carrier through technical talents like Emma and Iger Stetman.

At first, he only wanted to rely on the signboard "Morning Star Casting" to hide the interstellar units and the Ipsilon heritage in "Lost Land", and collect materials for making dimension locks by the way.

However, things have progressed to this point today. The war between the Star Alliance and the Mongya Empire and the Sulu Empire was imminent, and the Phoenix Empire was watching from one side, and then he became the fiancé of the new Duke of Knall, setting off such a political storm in the United Kingdom of Turanx, although It has now leveled off. However, there is no possibility of any compromise in the interest alliance formed between him and God Armed - Psalmwell. Once the two sides are torn apart, it is very likely to cause a big chaos. The Sauron Empire keeps adding troops to the border under such a situation. God knows what kind of idea Jaina Britannia is playing. In case... If she wants to make some small moves, will she treat herself, or Is the Duchy of Kernar adversely affected?

Because the United Kingdom of Turanx has been weak for a long time and has experienced three factions for so many years, there are many lords like Tripathi who have sprouted a heart of disobedience. It is difficult to guarantee that they will not collude with external forces-- ----The Supreme Security Council was able to contact Surbacho. It is quite normal for the Sauron Empire to have affairs with certain lords.

Facing the complicated international situation, interstellar units with a population of thousands of people in the system space alone will inevitably be stretched. Especially in the face of multi-line combat and multi-line defense, it is very likely that the rhythm will be disrupted and losses that they cannot accept.

"Aradelle", "Josena", "Dilal", "Babylon" where Grant is located, "Jakartapur" where Walton is, and even the Garcia rebels who are fighting guerrillas in Monya.

He has too many scruples. Since the upper limit of system units cannot be raised enough to deal with multiple threats in a short period of time, the only way to make "Morning Star Casting" a veritable "Morning Star Casting" is. Cooperate with the warship manufacturing line of the Duke of Kenar to form an expansion force to make up for the shortcomings of the interstellar system, just like the Apollo Pirates.

In the long term. When the time is right in the future, a large number of warships will also be needed to defend the occupied area to counterattack the Monya Empire, so as to ensure that the frontline combat troops have no worries.

At the same time, after the ship production line of "Morning Star Casting" is officially launched, the profits from commercial activities can support him to continuously acquire zero element resources. To support the big eater of the interstellar system.

Based on these circumstances, he must take the issue of "Morning Star Casting" more seriously, instead of raising "Lost Land" as his own son and "Morning Star Casting" as his stepson as before.

"Tang Fang...Tang Fang...hey, what are you thinking about?"

Melore's words woke him up, and when he looked up, the Kestrel-class shuttle had passed the third layer of interception nets and appeared in the void not far from "Natasha".

The light of the three brothers fell on the surface of this blue planet, refracting a layer of whiteness like the first snow. Deeper, the rainbow-like light diffused to the end of the line of sight under the refraction of the atmosphere, and it complemented the cotton candy-like clouds. Looking from afar Like a brocade pearl filled with thousands of colors.

The sky of "Natasha" is very blue, as if it has been washed by water. On this planet where oceans account for 89% of the total area, there are only 3 lands, and they do not border each other and are scattered everywhere.

The dividing line between light and darkness cuts the Wyer Continent into two pieces. The sky at dawn is slightly foggy. On the bamboo building, with the singing of the yellow warbler, it tells people that a new day has arrived.

Residents of "Natasha" don't need to work. The life of sunrise and sunset does not belong here. They only need to sleep until they wake up naturally, or they can't be awakened by people around them, or they are lighted by the floor-to-ceiling windows. Dazzle your eyes, then put on your nightgown, or go to the balcony or window naked, enjoying the bright or ambiguous, morning or afternoon sunshine.

Those who can live here and enjoy the green mountains and beautiful waters are either rich or noble. Even the gardeners, nannies, cooks and other handymen hired by some large manor owners are guys with good family backgrounds or proud talents.

Mellor put him outside a manor surrounded by peach trees, and drove the shuttle back to the "Mirror" to meet Henrietta.

Before he left, he told Tang Fang that there were still about 18 hours before the time when Zan Geweier summoned Elena, and he could rest here for a day. It's about time, and Henrietta will send someone over to fetch them.

In addition, the daily necessities and related service personnel in the manor have been properly configured earlier, if there are any additional needs. You can talk to the housekeeper, they will find a way to solve any problem...even if he needs a woman.

Captain Tang told him righteously that he was not that kind of person.

Just before closing the cabin, Melore asked him loudly: "Then what kind of person are you?"

He was speechless.

Watching the shuttle turn into a shock, disappearing in the faint light and shadow of the "Natasha" satellite "Dinisa". He walked towards the manor deep in the peach grove.

Peach trees are prosperous, but there are no flowers. To be precise, the season of peach blossoms has passed. There are only some leaves that have been knocked off the branches by the cold rain, lying sparsely on the wet and cool ground.

As he walked along the winding stone road, he thought about the words Melore told him when the shuttle was landing.

If "Morning Star Foundry" wants to build a large space station in the Dilar star system that is large enough to produce aircraft carrier-class ships, they can provide part of the funds and technical guidance.

In fact, there is the heavy industry background of the Duke of Knar, the craft data of the Holy Spirit series aircraft carriers, and Emma refers to the architectural structures of several shipbuilding plants in the "Sigma", "Atlantis" and the Aladale star system. A new type of space station can be easily designed to produce various spacecraft.

But if a large-scale space station is built, plus the cost of "Crystal"'s atmospheric environment modification plan, billion star coins must not be enough. Taking a step back, even if it is enough, after the completion of the space station, there will never be enough liquidity to purchase accessories, various raw materials, and pay staff salaries.

What's more, he also wants to build a large-scale smelting and accessories factory on the main star "Laches" of "Crystal" to produce the core components of "Morning Star Casting" brand warships. He also has a more daring and novel idea --- to build a zero isotope refining plant on Namistar underground in "Laches".

He still remembers the Dreadnought Commander-class fortress ship in the "Lost Land", the energy required for its main guns to operate is not ordinary zero elements, but more precious zero element isotopes.

No matter how good the idea is. The basis for realizing all this is inseparable from resources, and it can also be said that it is inseparable from money. Now that Mellor has said that, it is better to make good use of the alliance relationship between the two parties to obtain more funds from the old-school forces to build their own territory. In return, he will give them some new technologies to help Henrietta and those people grow their military strength.

There are actually many other advantages in doing so. For example, when I counterattack the Monya Empire, I can ask them to send troops to support me. I believe that the old forces will definitely not refuse.

go all the way. Thinking silently all the way, when a gleam of black came into his eyes, he woke up from his trance, looked up, and saw Taolin was behind him, his feet were stepping on an arch bridge made of white marble, under the bridge was a small road. Qinghe, turning out from the other side of the manor, goes all the way through the gap between the peach forest and the powder wall.

White walls and black tiles, picturesque eaves, small wooden buildings and pavilions are scattered among the flowers and trees. Through the same arched porch, you can see the stone screen flower garden, rockery and secluded spring inside... …

He originally thought that the residence that Henrietta arranged for him was a western-style manor, but unexpectedly it was the iconic garden scenery of Chinese civilization.

"This old man..." He shook his head, stepped down the arch bridge and entered the garden.

Claire and the others were sent here directly after leaving the "Mirror Light". At that time, it was still before dawn, and the group of people went to sleep in each room under the leadership of the waiter, and they had not yet woken up.

There are some begonias planted in the yard leading to the main hall. The flowers are still blooming, and the branches are adorned with a little purple. The fallen flowers with a moist luster cover the courtyard, giving the garden a taste of late spring.

The air at dawn is always cool, and the light mist feels like a cold wave hitting the face, and it will be a good time for morning exercises later in the day.

However, under a crabapple tree, there is a thin figure falling there, painting a touch of whiteness for this blue and purple world.

Kyrenia was standing under the tree, wearing a pure white knit dress, holding a small blue and white porcelain bowl with both hands, concentrating on enjoying the cold dew dripping from the petals.

He didn't know how long she had stood in this morning light, whether she started to collect dew when a thin line of white belly was exposed in the distance, or whether she had already merged into this colorful misty world before dawn. Anyway, there was a ray of mercury on her long knitted dress, and even her slender eyebrows were dripping with moisture.

He frowned and said, "Kelonia... what are you doing?"

"Waiting for you." She didn't wake up, and she didn't look back, her eyes still fell on a small flower with a little dew in front of her, and she said calmly: "It's just that waiting is a bit boring, and doing something I liked before."

"You know, when he was in 'Arumaika', he liked to drink the tea made by Chunlu the most, saying that it had a kind of refreshing sweetness... It's a pity that I don't have much research on 'tea', but since he likes it, I will Try to collect the dew."

"Morning is always short. A small bowl can be collected for a good sky scene, but most of the time there is only half a bowl, which is only enough for him to drink a cup of tea made with morning dew."

"Those days lasted for a while, until the 'tulip' turned into countless fragments and disappeared under the night." (To be continued.)
