The new generation of Alpha crystal has only a slight improvement in energy conversion efficiency, but due to the adoption of a new manufacturing process, its production speed has been greatly improved. The crystals produced by a single production line in one month are enough to use the main gun of a capital ship. Chu Jungui has a total of 5 such production lines.
Whether it is Frostwolf, Dauntless, or Indomitable and Valiant, all levels of Lightyear's own starships use beam cannons with Alpha crystals as the core. The reason why Chu Jungui insisted on using the Alpha Cannon was because of the cost. In terms of horizontal comparison, the main guns used by the full fleet of Future Light Years including 2 Frostwolves, 4 Dauntless-class ships, 4 Valiant-class ships and 8 Indomitable-class ships are only as expensive as one main gun of Xu Bingyan's flagship. Quite, and Xu Bingyan's flagship has a total of three main guns.
The total cost of the Lightyear fleet is less than that of a dynasty battleship, and less than half of Xu Bingyan's flagship. And no dynasty capital ship can be the opponent of the entire Lightyear fleet.
On the point of insisting on the position of cannon fodder, the wise man and Chu Jungui are completely consistent.
As the second battle came to an end, orders from the military department flew like snowflakes. Four new orders were added for the Frostwolf class alone, and the special envoy of the Ministry of National Defense was already on the way to N7703. No matter what, I want to meet Mr. Chu again.
Although Chu Jungui didn't have a good impression of the Ministry of Defense of the Dynasty, out of respect for the major customers, he decided to receive them in person and prepared the shipyard for the visit.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and finally the special envoy arrived from 300 light-years away.
Several large transport ships lined up and entered the N7703 system. At the front of this fleet, there are two high-speed starships traveling together with the fleet. After a while, three light-year starships appeared from inside the galaxy, merged with the fleet, and sailed towards the galaxy.
Under the guidance of the Lightyear Fleet, the fleet finally docked at a huge dock. A fair, fat, middle-aged man walked out of the dynasty starship and immediately saw Chu Jungui who was already waiting.
A smile immediately appeared on his face, he strode up, shook hands with Chu Jungui warmly, and said, "General Chu! I finally meet you this time! What an honor!"
Chu Jungui was a little uncomfortable with the fat man's familiar enthusiasm and said, "Welcome General Chen Er! But I'm not a general, so don't call me that."
"Hey! Not a general, but better than a general! You are much stronger than us miserable generals! We need more support from Chu Jungui this time!"
"That's what it should be."
The two exchanged a few more useless polite words, and Chen Er said: "There's still a war going on up front, and the people above are very anxious. How about we take a look at the ship first, and then talk about business while watching it?"
Chu Jungui naturally agreed, so he called a few engineers, left the apron, and walked into the dock. After a while, a group of people stood on the observation platform. From here, you can overlook the entire dock. The huge ship hull several kilometers long in the dock looks particularly impressive. The progress of this Frostwolf-class ship has reached 75%, not far from the 85% delivery line. At this moment, its hull has been completely built, with more than a dozen entrances and exits opened on the sides and above. Countless engineers wearing single-person equipment fly in and out, like hard-working bees.
Occasionally a large engineering ship would come in and out, and the surrounding engineers would have to give way. After all, the entrance and exit were only ten meters square, so it was not easy for such a big guy to come in and out.
"It's really spectacular!" Chen Er sighed, and then said: "General Chu, you should already know the purpose of my visit this time. The Frostwolf class performed very well in the previous battle and received extremely high praise from Shuai Xu. Evaluation. Now the Ministry of National Defense has decided to fully launch the production of the Frostwolf class, and Lightyear is the original designer and manufacturer of the Frostwolf class. If we want to mass-produce it, we will definitely not be able to bypass you, so why don’t I come over now?”
Chu Jungui had already received the news in advance, so he was not surprised and quietly waited for the next step.
Chen Er showed a warm smile and said: "So, the reason I am here this time is to ask you to donate the production technology, equipment and key personnel related to the Frostwolf class to the country!
"Donate?!" The peace in Chu Jungui's eyes disappeared instantly.
Chen Er seemed completely unaware and looked around and said, "There should be other
Its a dock? Why can I only see one here? Did you hide them? "
Chu Jungui's thoughts were spinning rapidly in his mind, and he said, "There is only one dock."
"How is that possible? Haha, don't be ridiculous!" Chen Er laughed a few times, not smiling but smiling.
"There's only one."
The smile on Chen Er's face did not change and he said: "General Chu, after the facilities related to the Frostwolf class are donated, they will become national property. Isn't it wrong for you to keep it privately?"
Chu Jungui frowned slightly. He would be damned if he still couldn't see that there was a problem at this time. Fortunately, after knowing that the dynasty's envoy was coming, he specially moved a shipyard to the edge of the galaxy, and there was nothing around it. Although this will be somewhat inconvenient, this Frostwolf-class ship will be completed soon, so it doesn't matter too much.
Now Chu Jungui was not sure what kind of medicine the special envoy was selling in the gourd, and why did it suddenly become like this? Donate? To put it bluntly, it is taxation. The question is, what qualifications does he have to tax Lightyear?
The smile on Chu Jungui's face disappeared and he said, "When did I agree to donate?"
Chen Er looked stunned for a moment, as if he really didn't know anything. His expression changed several times before he smiled again and said, "Didn't the higher-ups already make an agreement with you before I came here?"
"No." Chu Jungui said bluntly.
Chen Er laughed and said, "Is that so? There must be some misunderstanding. But these are all small things. The war is the overall situation. In the face of the overall situation, as citizens of the dynasty, it is not right for us to make some sacrifices and make some contributions. "Really? We can discuss the details later. Now I have to look at other shipyards first." "No."
Chen Er stared at Chu Jungui, suddenly smiled, and said, "Then I will go and see it myself?"
Chu Jun took a step aside and said, "It's absolutely okay. You can go wherever you want in this galaxy..."
Chen Er laughed and said, "Then I'm not polite! Come on, let's go!"
He had only taken two steps when he heard Chu Jungui add behind him: "...as long as you dare."
Chen Er's body froze, and he slowly turned around and said, "You are really good at joking! Why, if I just take a look, will my life be in danger?"
Chu Jun returned and said, "Whether you look at something you shouldn't see or take something you shouldn't take, your life will be in danger." Chen Er's eyes flashed sharply and he said, "You are indeed as bold as before."
"I've always been like this."
