The Danxia Fang family has two shipyards. The first shipyard is the family's internal shipyard, and the ships produced there are for internal use of the family.
The second shipyard is a shipyard that operates externally and specializes in receiving external orders.
Some small teams or individuals are lucky enough to obtain some battleship blueprints, and they will spend money to find a shipyard to customize a battleship.
Fang Chen came to the No. 1 Shipyard. He was received by the business manager named Li Lu who had contacted him before. The two of them went to a dock in the shipyard. The business manager pointed at the huge shipbuilding workshop behind the glass where a ship was being finalized. The commissioning frigate said:
"The battleship is now undergoing final debugging. It will only take about two or three days to launch. Before that, you have to prepare."
"Crew and supplies?"
"Yes, crew and supplies, including food, weapons and ammunition."
"No problem, I'm going to the market now."
"No need to go to such trouble. This warship has all energy weapons by default and does not require ammunition. We have cooperation with the Captain Academy for crew members and captains and can be recruited directly."
"Of course, if you want to recruit better captains and crew members, you can, but you will need to pay more money."
Li Lu took out a card and handed it to him and said:
"This is a frigate captain who has graduated from the Captain Department of Danxia Naval Academy but has not yet found a job. It lists their capabilities and recruitment prices. There is also contact information at the end. You can take a look and contact whomever you want at any time. "
Fang Chen took the card, opened his personal panel, and swiped the card. The interface in front of him was replaced by a frigate captain recruitment interface, and densely packed heads appeared in front of him.
These heads are divided into different colors according to the borders of the captain's personal template.
They are ordinary templates with white borders.
Excellent template with green border.
Elite template with blue border.
And the yellow border...
Well, he scrolled down the interface all the way and didn't see the captain with the excellent template, or even the elite template with a blue border.
It is normal for captains like this to have been selected once by the family officials as soon as they graduate, and then screened again by powerful people within the family. After two rounds, there are basically not many outstanding captains left.
Fang Chen glanced at the few remaining outstanding captains with green reputations, and his eyes fell on the salary they needed. After thinking for a while, he decided to give up.
The salary of a whiteboard captain is 200,000 yuan a month, while the monthly salary of a captain with a green name and excellent template is as high as 500,000 yuan a month, which is directly doubled.
The captain's ability of the key green name template has not been doubled, so overall it is not worth it.
After all, the captain of a frigate has a monthly salary of 200,000, five senior crew members have a monthly salary of 50,000, five people have a monthly salary of 250,000, and the 60 bionic crew members do not need salary but need food and consumables, a total of 150,000 a month.
In total, one month's salary plus maintenance fees will cost 600,000 yuan, which is 7.2 million yuan a year.
This does not include the millions spent on an annual overhaul. Taken together, the annual maintenance cost of a frigate is at least tens of millions.
It is difficult for an average commander to maintain just a few frigates. Without sufficient financial resources, he cannot afford to maintain too many ships, let alone those large ships.
At the beginning, he had no choice. Fang Chen directly assigned a complete set of captain and crew, plus a full supply of weapons and ammunition, as well as a year's maintenance costs, which cost him a total of 12.5 million.
It’s still an internal discount price, just this time.
After paying the deposit, Fang Chen left the shipyard and headed to the space station's trade market.
Halfway through, I opened the main interface of the trade market, which was filled with advertisements for some trading companies, studios, and chambers of commerce established by guilds active in Danxia Star and nearby areas.
Fang Chen has a lot to prepare now.
In addition to warships, he also had to purchase a mining ship, an industrial ship, a batch of mining robots, a batch of self-built shipyard equipment, a batch of industrial system equipment, a mineral refining system, hydroponic farm equipment, etc.
The mining ship is naturally used to mine and earn some money to support daily consumption.
Industrial ships are actually modified transport ships that have functions such as salvage and battleship weapons supply. One is a must.
Other self-built shipyard equipment, weapons industry systems, mineral refining systems, hydroponic farms, etc. are preparing to establish a private portable base in the space of the palm of the universe.
Carry the universe in your palm with you, it would be a waste to leave it empty.
He plans to build a shipyard there and establish a complete weapons industry system, mineral refining system, food supply system, etc.
Once it is fully constructed, it can be completely self-sufficient in a series of processes including refining ores, refining alloys, manufacturing weapons, and building its own battleships.
If you want to develop and grow, you must have your own industrial system and shipbuilding system.
Otherwise, the source of battleships would be a big problem.
Don't expect to find other shipyards to order. It is too difficult. Not only is it expensive, it takes a long time, and the key is to queue up.
There are only so many shipyards, and there are so many commanders in need of warships. Shipyards outside are now queuing up to build them, and some popular shipyards have been queuing up for several years.
Of course, this is just a plan of his now. It would cost too much money to get it all done, and he can't afford it now.
Not to mention anything else, a small mining ship costs 50 million, and a small industrial ship costs 120 million. These two alone can empty his capital pool.
So the initial idea was to buy two small mining ships, a batch of mining robots, and two sets of small ore crushing, screening and refining equipment. Make some money first and then consider slowly completing the rest.
Two small mining ships cost 100 million star yuan and contain 12 unmanned mining robots.
A complete set of ore refining equipment costs 39 million for one set and 78 million for two sets.
One million unmanned mining robots are equipped with two mining laser guns and have a capacity of 1,000 cubic meters. A total of 20 units were purchased at a cost of 20 million.
After a comprehensive calculation, a total of 198 million star yuan was spent, and the funds on hand were only about 12 million.
These are all in stock. After Fang Chen made the order, he temporarily rented a warehouse and sent them to the merchants, so he didn't have to worry about it.
The next step was to wait. During this period, he was not idle. He began to browse the messages sent by heroes in the regional channel, preparing to find a suitable place for development.
The place will not change, it will still be near Danxiaxing.
Although he didn't sign a contract with the family, it didn't mean he couldn't hang out around the family, but he just couldn't get the signing benefits.
When you first enter the starry sky, it is better to hang out in a safe area.
The Danxia Fang Sect is centered on the Danxia Galaxy, and within five hops around it is the high-security area.
The so-called jump refers to one jump between a galaxy and the nearest star system. Five jumps means jumping over the area between five galaxies in any direction from Danxia Star.
This area belongs to the star district directly under the jurisdiction of the Danxia Fang clan. There are a large number of Fang clan industries in it. Outsiders are not allowed to mine or open wells here. It is very safe.
In addition, there are a total of 104 galaxies centered on Danxia Star, which is the Zhongan area. Patrol teams patrol these galaxies every day to eliminate large numbers of wild monsters and powerful wild monster bosses. Newcomers can stay relatively safe in these galaxies. Star mining development.
