It is worth mentioning that both arsenals and hydroponic farms, like shipyards, are equipped with a large number of employees and need to pay salaries.
Among them, the arsenal has a chief engineer with a monthly salary of 1.5 million.
20 senior engineers, with a monthly salary of 100,000 yuan, a total of 2 million yuan.
The 200 clone employees have a monthly living allowance of 3,000 yuan, a total of 600,000 yuan.
The comprehensive monthly salary is 4.1 million yuan, plus a bonus of 15 yuan a year, with a total expenditure of 61.5 million yuan.
The hydroponic farm has one supervisor with a monthly salary of 1 million.
50 agricultural experts have a monthly salary of up to 150,000 yuan, a total of 7.5 million yuan.
500 clone farmers have a monthly living expenses of 3,000 yuan and a monthly expenditure of 1.5 million yuan.
In total, the monthly expenditure is 10 million yuan, plus a bonus of 15% salary per year, the total expenditure is 150 million yuan.
The combined annual expenditure of hydroponic farms, arsenals, and shipyards is about 250 million.
If you add in the maintenance fees for battleships, and there will be more ships in the future, the annual salary plus maintenance fees alone will be nearly 300 million.
Of course, ordinary players don't have such huge expenditures. They don't need to open a shipyard, nor an arsenal, nor do they need to build such a large hydroponic farm. Only teams with ambitions can do this.
If you want to stand out in this chaotic era, you must have your own foundation.
Fang Chen holds the universe in his palm, and is destined to not be able to live like an ordinary player. These expenditures must be made, and as his strength grows, the expenditures will continue to increase. When he has a battleship in the future, his annual expenditures may be dozens. Tens of billions.
However, if you spend a lot of money, your income will be high.
Once you have a certain amount of strength on hand, you will make money faster. Spending two to three hundred million a year may seem exaggerated, but it is nothing to a strong team.
Just like now, you can make more than 5 billion in one opportunity.
Of course, luck like this cannot be guaranteed to happen every year.
But if you have enough strength, you can directly occupy a galaxy to open a mine, or occupy a fixed mine point. The energy source will continue to generate income, which is enough to support all expenses and still have a surplus.
Then Fang Chen took the blueprint and entered the core circle of the universe in his palm, and came to the super intelligent brain.
The core of the universe in his palm appeared in front of him in the form of a ball of light emitting soft light, like a star in the center of a galaxy.
Before he emptied the ball of light, he shouted loudly:
"Sophia."
Soon a soft female voice sounded in his ear:
"Dear Lord!"
He took out five sets of T1-class frigate blueprints and handed them over and asked:
"How long will it take you to reach T5 level?"
The soft voice responded quickly:
"It takes 5 days to derive one."
Fang Chen's eyes brightened and he asked:
"The five tickets only take 25 days?"
"Yes."
"What if it is extended to T6 level?"
"It takes an additional 5 days to extrapolate to T6, an extra 10 days to extrapolate to T7, an extra 30 days to extrapolate to T8, an extra 90 days to extrapolate to T9, and an extra year to extrapolate to T10."
"hiss!"
To be honest, Fang Chen was really shocked.
I knew it could be deduced before, but I hadn't tried it yet. I didn't know it could be deduced in this way and that it could be deduced so quickly.
In just one year, you can get a T10-class frigate blueprint.
What is this concept?
Whether it is the Danxia Fang clan or the superior of the Fang clan, the leader of the Emerald Legion, one of the six major warlords of the Sun Federation, its main fleet has T5-level technology. Only its core ace fleet has some T6-level technology, and it is definitely Not much.
The higher the technology level, the stronger the power.
Especially above T5, starting from T6, the incremental power of each technological level is much greater than that below T5.
what does that mean?
this means......
Fang Chen suddenly paused, and the joy on his face slowly disappeared.
He suddenly realized that it seemed that it would take a year to produce a T10-class frigate.
There is only one ship a year, which is a bit embarrassing.
and....
He asked again:
"What if it's a destroyer, cruiser or battleship?"
"A destroyer takes twice as long as a frigate, four times as long as a cruiser, and ten times as long as a battleship."
"All right!"
Fang Chen had nothing to say.
This efficiency is still too low at this stage. Unless we can find a way to repair this thing, we can only build an ace fleet on a small scale and cannot equip it on a large scale.
But the problem is not big. At this stage, he only needs a small number of elites, and he will think of other methods when he needs a large fleet in the future.
The boat will naturally be straight when it reaches the bridge. There will always be a solution.
Not to mention anything else, Fang Chen issued an order to advance these five frigate blueprints to the T5 level first.
Coming out of the palm of his hand, he opened the trading platform with the frigate material list and began to purchase shipbuilding materials.
The blueprint is available, and the materials are not expensive. The main material is T5-grade titanium steel alloy, which is a titanium-steel composite alloy. It is the main material of T5-class battleships and has the most demand.
The unit price of T5-level titanium steel alloy is 13,200 star yuan per ton. He purchased 150,000 tons in one go. The materials for five T5-level frigates cost a total of 1.98 billion star yuan, leaving 870 million star yuan.
Then he spent another 600 million to purchase a medium-sized industrial ship.
The medium-sized industrial ship contains 2,500 cargo holds, with a total capacity of 2.5 million cubic meters, and also has salvage, combat supply and other functions.
After the preparations were completed, the shipbuilding engineer who packed the bags came over a few days later. Fang Chen checked and found that they were indeed skilled old employees. The professional skills of the clone employees hovered between LV3 and LV6. The chief shipbuilding engineer also had skills of LV3, which could Reduce material loss by 3%.
The only pity is that these clones are all first-level clones, with an upper limit of lifespan of only 40 years. They have served in the shipyard for 20 to 30 years, and the oldest batch is more than 30 years old. They will die in a few years. Gonna die.
The only option is to make do with it and use it for a few more years, or wait for the lifespan to expire and replace it with a new batch of people.
Or spend a lot of money to modulate genes for them to improve their genetic level and thereby increase their lifespan.
But this is a matter for the future, and he can't say whether he wants to replace it now.
Being prepared, Fang Chen did not wait. The blueprint was deduced very quickly, only five days, but building a frigate would take two months, so it was impossible to wait here.
However, he has no plans to continue to find a galaxy to mine. Of course, it's not that he won't mine, but that he doesn't plan to do it alone.
Now that we have a shipyard, we have workers, we have materials, and we have blueprints, we will have several T5-class frigates in hand in a few months. This combat effectiveness is already quite good. It is impossible to stay in the mining area to mine, then What a waste of time.
He was going to change places, leaving the medium-security area and entering the low-security area.
Low-security areas are more challenging and have more opportunities.
Apart from other things, there are basically few NPC forces in the Zhongan area, and they have all been wiped out by the authorities. This makes it difficult for unofficial forces to obtain battleship blueprints through NPC forces.
This is also one of the ways that the Danxia Fang clan and all warlords suppress civilian forces and minimize the channels for them to increase their strength.
Fang Chen did not sign a contract with the family and could not obtain high-level blueprints from the family, so he had to find another way.
