After arranging for someone to escort Elizabeth to the federal station, Yang Tianyi went directly to his office on the top floor of the building. After learning from Xingshu that Harland was on vacation in the cyberpunk world, he looked at the mountains of garbage piling up on his to-do list. The message was somewhat speechless: "As the CEO of the group, he actually took the lead in being lazy. Wait until he comes back to see how I deal with him!"
Although he was merciless, he still came to the comfortable chair belonging to the chairman and sat down, preparing to review these important documents and reports from various worlds one by one.
However, even with Xingshu sorting it out, Yang Tianyi still felt overwhelmed by the densely packed documents in front of him. With an attitude of being responsible for the group to the end, he began to process the first document on the list, a detailed report on the Zhao'an Horrible Wings Pirate Group.
"The Riddak family, headed by Kaye Skridak, owns a decommissioned strike cruiser. I see..."
After carefully reading about the grudges between the group fleet and the Horrible Wing Pirates during the annual meeting, Yang Tianyi smiled slightly and felt very proud of his foresight in investing a huge budget in the navy.
It is conceivable that if the strength of his own fleet is insufficient, Kaye, who owns a strike cruiser, will definitely not calm down to negotiate with the group, and will inevitably escape from the siege of the group with strong ships and cannons.
By then, not to mention Zhao'an, not only would the fleet that the group had worked so hard to build suffer heavy losses, but they would also have an enemy who was good at plundering, and might even offend the Riddak family, who were very powerful within the Kingdom of Yondarim.
As both psychic aristocrats with thousands of years of heritage, the Kerrick family may maintain a superficial cooperative relationship with the group for the huge profits of moon crystal sugar, but Yang Tianyi is sure that they will never be stupid enough to turn against the Ridak family for the group. .
But Zhaoan does not mean that Kaye Ridak will serve the group wholeheartedly. According to the terms subsequently drawn up by the two parties, the Dreadwing Pirates will not be integrated into the group's naval combat order, but will continue to wander around the group's designated areas. Loot within a certain area.
Of course, as a dead person on the family list, Kaye promised that he would erase the logo and name of the Terrorwing Pirates and carry out plunder as an unknown pirate to ensure that neither he nor the group would be exposed.
What makes Yang Tianyi dissatisfied is that although Kaye is willing to hand over control of the "Wing Guard" class strike cruiser, the other party requires the group to exchange twenty Javelin-class frigates or eight Spirit-class destroyers. If the group does not agree to the deal, he will continue to use the extremely visible strike cruiser as the flagship of the pirate fleet.
In addition, Kaye agreed in principle to the group to recruit pirates when necessary, but the terms of the "necessary time" were very vague. So theoretically, even if the group's navy is almost wiped out by the enemy, the Horrible Wings Pirates can just wait and watch on the sidelines.
Although he was very dissatisfied with the loose terms, Yang Tianyi did not want to see the cooked duck fly away from his palm.
The "Wing Guard" class strike cruiser will be the main source of inspiration for the group's naval designers in the coming period. It is of great significance to the group's shipbuilding career. Kaye cannot be allowed to mess around in any case.
Therefore, in order to stabilize Kaye Ridak's impetuous mentality after waiting for a long time for a response, Yang Tianyi decided to allocate ten Javelin-class frigates and four Spirit-class destroyers as trading chips, striving to replace the strike cruiser as soon as possible. into hands for designers to reverse engineer.
But behind the sudden generosity of Yang Tianyi, who has always been stingy with outsiders, there is actually another layer of consideration.
Since Kaye is willing to carry out plunder within the scope designated by the group, he simply uses the Cross Nebula located in the star belt where the Human Federation and the Qian Empire meet as the hunting ground for the Horrible Wing Pirates. Considering that the imperial fleet is far larger than the ordinary smuggling fleet, those warships can be regarded as the capital given to Captain Kaye by the group.
As long as the other party is ordered not to plunder the People's Alliance fleet, it will focus on attacking the transport fleets of the empire and smugglers. In this way, the group can not only further attack the empire's sphere of influence that had to shrink due to the defeat, but also sell people a favor.
Also, at a certain moment in the future, after seizing control of the Horrible Wings Pirates, they will be able to obtain an experienced battle fleet without any effort, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Yang Tianyi, who was making wishful thinking in his mind, had even thought about the future ownership of the pirate fleet - if Elizabeth didn't mind these warships being used by pirates, he could dispose of these second-hand goods at a low price. And he will equip the pirate veterans with new warships to maximize their combat effectiveness.
As for whether the Horrible Wings Pirates would be torn to pieces by the angry Imperial Navy and smugglers, that was beyond his consideration. After all, selling finished starships is the normal business of the group. Even if someone comes to the door for the warships made by the stars of the Horrible Wings Pirates, the group has every reason to excuse itself.
After handling the affairs of the Horrible Wing Pirates, Yang Tianyi picked up a copy of the Group Navy's annual production plan and immersed himself in reading it.
In fact, before he left Fenhabenis, there were already more than ten completed destroyers lying in the dock in the Spirit Star spaceport in the Elysian space world, just waiting for the Navy Ministry to send people to test their performance before setting off. Even excluding the batch of warships handed over to Kaye, the group's current naval strength is almost close to saturation.
Unlike the army, which has a large scale and a total strength of more than 10 million, the group is distributed in various worlds. The navy currently only has three fleets, and only a few tens of thousands of sailors have been serving on the ships for a long time.
They are the first fleet deployed in the star world to escort interstellar trade, with a total of more than 80 destroyers and frigates. The Second Fleet, deployed in the world of Elysium to protect the headquarters and Spirit Star Industrial Base, has more than fifty destroyers and frigates.
As well as the Third Fleet deployed in the world of Area 9 to defend against the Shrimp Man Empire, it has more than 70 destroyers and frigates.
Although the three fleets combined only have more than 200 warships, which is far from the limit of the group's production capacity, the outstanding crew members who can pass the loyalty test are not enough to fill the warships waiting quietly in the dock.
What's more, among the more than 200 warships, they are all light warships such as destroyers and frigates. Not to mention compared with the regular fleet of the Civilized Empire, I am afraid that they are even far inferior to the fleet of the Merchant Alliance that calls the Star Sea home.
Therefore, the group navy's shipbuilding direction this year is mainly focused on the design and construction of cruiser-class warships.
According to the timetable personally formulated by the head of the Navy, Rear Admiral Paterson, designers need to complete the design of the new cruiser and supporting facilities within three months, and the remaining nine months will be fully put into production, striving to strive to be ready before the next annual meeting. Build a powerful fleet with cruisers as the main force and destroyers and frigates as the screen defenders.
However, this does not mean that before the design of the cruiser is completed, the dock of the Psyche Spaceport will remain empty for several months, wasting production capacity.
Considering that the cargo tonnage of the group's various trade routes in the world of stars is increasing day by day, the two-hundred-meter-class bird-class transport ships are gradually unable to meet the transportation demand.
To this end, the designers suggested using the Sparrow-class transport ship as a basis, with enhanced armor and shields, and then redesigning a troop transport ship to prepare for emergencies.
After phasing out the bird-class transport ships that traveled between various trade sites and planets, designers prepared four-hundred-meter-class "Yan"-class transport ships for the group navy and engineering department.
After testing the prototype ship, it was found that the Yan-class transport ship has a capacity limit three times that of the Bird-class, while the cost is only twice that of the Bird-class, which is very suitable for the group's current needs.
In addition, the plan also states that in addition to the Yan-class transport ships, the design department also proposed the design and construction expectations for the subsequent three classes of transport ships. They are the 600-meter "鸩" class, the 800-meter "goose" class and the 1,000-meter "鸵" class.
Although there are currently no blueprints for these three large transport ships with astonishing capacity, they are just pie drawings drawn by the design department for other departments of the group, but even Yang Tianyi has to admit that this pie is indeed very delicious, even He couldn't help but look forward to whether the designers' level could match their imagination.
Any group executive who has read this plan understands that no matter how the next warships and transport ships are designed, the implementation of the "Yan" class should not be delayed.
Therefore, Yang Tianyi did not hesitate to leave his signature at the end of the document, and told Xingshu to pay special attention to the batch manufacturing of Yan-class transport ships, believing that he could satisfy any requirements of the spaceport dock as much as possible without affecting the overall operating efficiency of the group. need.
Taking the shipbuilding plan away from the still full table, he turned his attention to the next document.
"Nebula Refinery? It's interesting..."
His eyes scanned the high-definition photos of the two strange benefactors on the file, and Yang Tianyi's eyes showed strong interest.
According to the description in the document, shortly after the Battle of Tianxi Star, the senior officials of the Qin Empire were furious at the rebellion of the Outer Rim Army. They issued martial law on many planets in the Outer Rim Star Territory and arrested those who might be rebels. and colonial residents who were relatives of the rebels.
While causing chaos, the empire's corrupt bureaucracy created a perfect opportunity for neighboring countries to absorb Qian refugees.
Of course, not all refugees are eligible to board immigration ships sent by major empires. According to their status and occupation, the refugees were divided into three classes by officials from various countries who came to select them.
The first class is experienced senior colonial officials, local nobles with considerable wealth and accomplished scientists, and the second class is people with special skills, such as engineers, celebrities, and low-level colonial officials. middle.
As for the third class, they are ordinary Qien people. Among them are crystal miners who work day and night in the mines, farmers who plant and graze cattle on farms and pastures, and militiamen who hang out all day in the colonial garrison, etc.
Although the Human Federation does not welcome the entry of any alien race in principle, considering that the federation's die-hard ally, the Star Group, is recruiting talents, the People's Federation specially sent an immigration ship to an outer ring planet called "Indan" to select Hundreds of first- and second-class refugees were sent to the group branch in Fenhabennis.
The two benefactors on the document are the leaders of these refugees. For no other reason than because one of them insisted that he had mastered a complete set of Nebula refining technology. As long as the Star Group was willing to invest, he guaranteed to build a Nebula refinery of considerable scale within half a year.
And another strange man who looks stupid has no ability, but he is the expert's best friend. Therefore, experts claim that if he wants him to go all out, he must hire his close friends together.
"Let me see the names of these two people, Adi Hakak and Oku Nadine. Ha, two interesting people."
Yang Tianyi, who was slightly tired from working for a long time, chuckled, closed his eyes and leaned back, letting his body sink into the soft leather package of the seat. At the same time, a household Z-1 robot stepped forward at the right time and gently rubbed his temples with his thermostatic palms.
But of course Yang Tianyi closed his eyes not to sleep, but to think about the feasibility of the group's construction of the Nebula Refinery.
Fifteen minutes later, with a rough plan in his mind, he sat up and said to the Xingshu Projector who was standing aside and exuding pure white light: "Have the engineering department send someone to tell the two benefactors that I can give them the investment." , but if he can’t produce results within the deadline, don’t blame the group for being ruthless.”
After finishing three group affairs in a row, Yang Tianyi blinked as he looked at the number of documents in the to-do list that did not seem to decrease at all, and the Dimensional Rubik's Cube appeared in his hand.
After silently reciting "I want to go to the cyberpunk world" in his heart, Yang Tianyi found that he was still where he was and shook his head helplessly. The secret dimension magic cube could only allow him to jump to places he had been before, and he could not cross parallel universes. .
He casually put the Rubik's Cube back into his body, with a gloomy smile on his face.
"Harland, your vacation is over."
