Jiang Sui has certain psychological expectations about the high cost of purchasing technology.
As mentioned before, the Tianhai Star Region is too far away from the mainland of the empire. No matter how simple the technology is, the cost of faster-than-light means of transmitting information is also very high.
But Gao Cheng was like this, which he never expected.
"Does it really take more than seven months of ore output to support the cost of one message transmission? No wonder the empire doesn't bother to take another look here."
Even if global production capacity is taken into account, the cost of taking a look is at least equal to three months of Tianhaixing's production being wasted.
These outdated technologies have long been worthless in the empire. Most of the cost of 120 ores is the cost of transmitting information.
Jiang Sui, who originally thought he was a little rich, had sore gums at this time: "It is also expensive to transport the tax to the empire. No wonder the Tianhai Star District is like being stocked, because if it is not stocked, it will really lose money." …”
"Forget it, money is not as important as technology... When technology develops, there will be plenty of money." Jiang Sui felt heartbroken for a while, but finally made up his mind, clicked the purchase button, and promulgated a decree on scientific research subsidies.
Now, even the space launch base, which has the longest research time, only needs about 6 months to complete the research.
The only problem was that the Government House's finances suddenly became less generous.
After a meal of subsidies, the original monthly output of 16 ores is now only 13.
When the space launch base is built, it is estimated that the energy consumption will not be too low.
"Resources, resources." Jiang Sui shook his head and closed the management panel. "After talking so much, there are still not enough resources... It just so happens that the Governor's District has the last mining area left, so let's develop it directly."
The school has been built, and now there is another one left in the construction sequence, which is just perfect for building a mining area - there is nothing else to build anyway.
Just when Jiang Sui was busy working for resources, Gu Qinghuan's familiar and sweet voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Mr. Governor, are you busy now? There is something I want to report to you here."
Jiang Sui, who had filled up all the construction sequences, turned off the panel, nodded and said: "Warrant Officer Gu? Come in."
Gu Qinghuan was not wearing a military uniform today, but her regular uniform could not hide her military temperament: "Your Majesty Governor, the investigation team in the Eastern Ocean Islands just sent us information. They have basically completed the investigation on the island."
Jiang Sui nodded: "Let's talk briefly."
"It is now confirmed that the top executives of the Dongyang Trading Group have all secretly believed in the Immortal Life Sect, and have many interests with the top leaders of the sect. The sinking of the large ship that you have paid attention to before should also be related to them, but it has not yet happened. Substantial evidence was found.”
"We have found words like 'big altar' in various clues many times. It is initially speculated that it should be underground in the southern rainforest."
"If you want to continue the investigation, you may have to capture that territory first."
The big altar…
In the past, Jiang Sui would have scorned this kind of thing, but now that he thought about it, maybe this thing came from outside the starry sky, so he wouldn't dare to be careless.
"Not bad." Jiang Sui nodded and confirmed the work of the investigation team, and then asked, "What about the battleships? Have you found the reason why their battleships are so strong?"
A warship that can deal with frigates to a certain extent has always been something Jiang Sui is eager to know - can the Dongyang Trading Group manufacture such warships on a large scale?
Gu Qinghuan handed a document to Jiang Sui and said at the same time: "After a month of emergency analysis by our scientific research team, we found that there is a layer of biological carapace in the armor layer of the battleship you captured, which is very hard and tough. It can be determined It was this layer of biological carapace that withstood the frigate’s bombardment.”
"Biological carapace?" Jiang Sui frowned, "Can such a creature evolve on Tianhai Planet?"
"Mr. Governor, it is probably not a native creature of Tianhaixing." Gu Qinghuan shook his head, "This may be some kind of giant wild animal that lives in space."
Jiang Sui felt a lot more at ease after hearing this: "That means that this kind of raw material is limited, so it won't be a big problem."
As long as such warships cannot be produced indefinitely, the pressure on the Navy will be much less.
It's nothing more than inventory.
Gu Qinghuan nodded and agreed with Jiang Sui's point of view, then asked: "There are biological experts in the team you brought here. You can ask them to study these carapace. If they can determine what kind of creature they come from, maybe Targeted weapons can be developed.”
"Let them study it." Jiang Sui took the application report from Gu Qinghuan and signed it, "Even if this technology is not needed now, it might come in handy when we enter the universe to explore in the future."
After signing, Jiang Sui asked casually: "By the way, how is the promotion of banknotes going?"
After returning from the Islands, Jiang Sui began to promote gold standard banknotes-as long as you hold the banknotes, you can go to the Governor's Mansion to exchange the face value of gold at any time, limited to once a week, and the amount each time is unlimited.
Silver and copper stopped circulating in the market as currencies, and their attributes all returned to the raw materials of the ores.
"Now it has been basically accepted by the market, and we have not taken any compulsory measures." Gu Qinghuan smiled, "The prices of gold, silver and copper are always fluctuating and very unstable. Shops and customers often have to Even if it takes half a day, it's hard to find change. Now everyone uses banknotes, which makes transactions much more convenient."
"Occasionally, you can still see some people trading copper coins. Do you need to introduce a law to prohibit this behavior?"
Jiang Sui shook his head: "Don't worry, they won't want to use this troublesome currency after a while."
Many things cannot be accomplished overnight. After all, the memory of the previous governor's excessive issuance of banknotes into waste paper is still fresh in our minds.
Just one month after its introduction, banknotes were spontaneously recognized by the vast majority of people, which is enough to show the residents' trust in Jiang Sui.
Gu Qinghuan took the signed document and asked, "Do you have any other orders?"
"No more for now, go and do your work."
"Yes." Gu Qinghuan took away the signed approval document, saluted Jiang Sui and left the office.
Jiang Sui waited for Gu Qinghuan to leave and was about to get up when he suddenly saw a prompt pop up on the spy management panel.
