Chapter 1015: Exchange for Warships
As the clashes between the two civilizations increased more and more during this period, many people in the subordinate civilization felt a sense of urgency to a certain extent.

In the civilization managed by Jiang Yao, war is something that everyone must participate in.

In his words, the insects, as the main civilizations, will participate, and it is natural for other subordinate civilizations to participate, so once the war starts, everyone in the civilization will be unable to avoid it.

Of course, this is not the key point. The key is that there is also a complete operating system in the civilization to solve this problem. First of all, before the war, the people in the civilization will be classified. Children or important scientific and technological personnel can stay in the rear.

In short, in civilization you must have your own profession, and in war, your location will be different depending on the type of your profession.

Therefore, some safe professions are also the first choice of many people. The safer the profession, the greater the competition, so the fewer people can stand out, which leads to the fact that most people are engaged in the later stage. After the war, they will go to the front line.

Of course, there are vagrants in any civilization system, especially when there is a relevant economic system in the civilization to motivate the people in the civilization to continue to develop. In such a situation, such people also exist. For these people, it is after the war that their good days come, because at least they don’t have to go hungry, and they can even make certain contributions to civilization and then get rich rewards, so that they can live better in the future.

So after hearing the news, the most excited ones were the vagrants, while the team led by the captain was completely different. They had developed to this point now, and if they were destroyed in the war, all their efforts would be in vain, so they attached great importance to this matter.

Of course, they are also very clear about the current situation, so they are very anxious at this moment.

"We have been rejected 173 times. These organizations that have the potential to replace the flagship have no plans to do so now."

At this time, a team member was looking at the email, his tone was full of worry, and after hearing what he said, the captain thought for a moment and then asked.

“How many organizations that can meet the requirements can we contact at this time?”

Hearing the captain's words, the team members shook their heads, their expressions full of helplessness.

“It’s gone.”

"We have basically contacted all the teams we could. Some of them wanted to change their fleets a long time ago, but even these teams have chosen to refuse now. Or some teams offered higher prices than us, so they chose to cooperate with these teams."

After hearing this, the captain probably understood.

"It seems that we took it for granted at the time, thinking that we could replace the warships we needed with a large fleet, but now it seems that it is not that simple. After all, everyone wants to do this, and it is indeed possible for some large organizations to buy large quantities of ships.

However, the procedures are complicated and the operation process is lengthy, which has led to many organizations being unwilling to do so. Besides, they have their own production lines, so there is no need for this.”

"But the reality is that we thought things were too simple. It was indeed complicated for them, but many teams with the same ideas as us did not think so. They also saw this, so I guess they also started preparing very early, even earlier than us. We started when we found signs of war, while some teams may have almost finished preparing before there were any signs."

"So Captain, what should we do next?"

At this time, a team member couldn't help but ask.

Now that things have developed to this point, they must come up with a solution as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the problems they face in the later stages will only become more and more difficult.

Although they now have a fleet, this fleet would be cannon fodder on the battlefield, and they are unwilling to let their efforts go to waste.

However, now that things have developed to this point, almost everyone feels that they will only be destined to become cannon fodder. But at this moment, a slightly excited voice of a teammate came over.

"Captain, someone has responded to my question."

However, there was hesitation in the teammate's tone, and as if the captain saw his hesitation, he quickly asked about the situation.

"There is indeed an organization willing to make the exchange, but the problem is that this organization does not have a flagship-level combat record. They are planning to exchange their Tier 4 battleships and Tier 5 strategic cruisers with us."

Hearing this, the captain couldn't help but frown.

To be honest, warships of this level of technology are already extremely rare, and they are probably treasures in the hands of every organization.

Because it is extremely complicated to manufacture warships of this level, a single civilization is absolutely unable to manufacture them. Usually, to manufacture warships of this level, multiple subordinate civilizations need to work together to manufacture them. This also leads to the fact that the number of warships of this level is very small.

Such warships are naturally controlled by some large organizations and are usually not leaked to others.

If it weren't for the war, they would probably never see a battleship of this level in their lifetime. But the problem lies here. No matter how powerful a battleship of this level is, it is only a strategic-level battleship or a cruiser-level battleship. If it is placed on the battlefield, it may end up being cannon fodder.

Although there are various concerns in his heart, compared with the many cannon fodders he has now, it is obvious that this level of warship is also attractive to the captain.

But in the end he shook his head and gave up this idea. Replacing a large number of warships with a small number of warships would indeed reduce the probability of losses on the battlefield, but it was only a reduction. Instead, it increased the cost of each ship lost.

But at this moment, the voice of teammates came again.

"Captain, there may be room for maneuver in this matter."

Hearing his teammates say this, the captain couldn't help but feel a little confused. At this moment, a video link came over, and at the captain's signal, the teammates connected the link.

Opposite the painting is a dignified middle-aged man in his 40s. At this time, the middle-aged man looked at the people present and spoke in a deep voice.

"Everyone, I have a general understanding of the situation over there. I believe you are now considering what to do next."

"You want to replace these warships with flagship-class warships, and then find some escort formations. This way, your losses on the battlefield will be minimized. But you know that many people know this idea. I can even tell you clearly that before the war even started, when there were no signs of war, many people had already done this. They had no way to buy flagship-class warships, so they chose to exchange them in this way."

"But I'm sure you all know that some things are not that simple."

"There are many people who want to do this, and the competition is very fierce, so the exchange price is also very high. Moreover, even at a high price, it is difficult to grab it."

"That's only before the war starts."

"And it's a pipe dream to want to exchange them now. Although the warships we are willing to offer seem to be strategic-level and cruiser-level warships, these warships have their own advantages and will definitely not be used as cannon fodder on the battlefield."

"Of course, you may not be particularly familiar with this level of warships. I will give you a brief explanation here so that you can have a general understanding of some of the characteristics of this type of warship."

"First, let's take the Fourth Pole Technology's battleships. This type of battleship is called a stealth special forces battleship. Compared to traditional stealth special police bombers, this type of strategic ship has strategic significance."

"The others are equipped with the most advanced stealth technology in the current civilization. Even if Civilization No. 1 wants to find him, it will be very difficult. His mission is to go deep into the enemy's rear base and then set up a special connection channel for the invisible special police, allowing some invisible warships to go deep into the enemy's rear without anyone noticing."

"Strictly speaking, these warships will not undertake corresponding combat missions."

"Their role on the battlefield is more of a supporting role, so you should understand that such warships will be sent to perform some special missions on the battlefield and will not directly join the battlefield. This is also an advantage of this warship."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man continued to add.

"Of course, in addition to its own characteristics, the strength of this warship should not be underestimated. First of all, its effective defense power reaches 40."

Effective defense is a number used in current civilization to measure the defense capability of a warship. Under normal circumstances, the effective defense of an ordinary flagship is about 120 million, and that of a normal battleship is about 12 to 14.

Instead, the effective defense of this stealth ship reached an astonishing 40, which shows how high its technological level is. Of course, its combat capability should not be underestimated. Although it is a special warship, it also has strong combat capabilities. At least in a one-on-one situation, it will not lose to any battleship-level warship of Civilization No. 1.

After hearing the relevant introduction, the captain couldn't help but think about it. His eyes subconsciously fell on his teammates, and his teammates also looked at him eagerly.

"Captain, you make the decision. We will all listen to you."

"Yes, Captain, we just need to listen to you."

Hearing his teammates' words, the captain couldn't help but nodded.

The team members still have relatively high trust in him. After all, they have followed him all the way, from having nothing at the beginning to owning a huge business now. Every decision made by their captain is very correct, which also makes these team members willing to let the captain make decisions at such a critical moment.

This also indirectly shows that this captain is not a simple person. Of course, the pressure on the captain is also very high. After all, this is a time to decide the life and death of the entire team. Anyone would feel pressured. Fortunately, the captain usually experiences a lot of pressure. After putting aside some thoughts that made his mind a little complicated, he asked about the situation of other warships.

"The strategic cruiser, although only a cruiser-level battleship, its role is greater than that of the strategic-level one. After all, it is a level 5 technology, which is also the highest level technology at present."

"First of all, it is a comprehensive warship that combines combat, exploration, and later covert operations with normal command. This type of warship is very flexible to match, and can play different effects by changing different modules. This warship can carry a total of 5 modules, and 5 modules form a group. There are a total of 5 different combinations that can play different effects."

"Some modules are matched to form a pure firepower warship. Its firepower is as fierce as that of a battleship. Cruiser-level warships can exert strategic-level firepower. I'm sure you know what that means. And some modules are matched to form stealth. They can conduct reconnaissance in bases behind enemy lines and complete some special missions."

"Some modules can improve the overall computing power of the battleship, providing certain bonuses to other battleships in the fleet and acting as battlefield command ships. In short, this is an all-round battleship."

When the captain heard the introduction, he was obviously deeply shocked by the functions of this warship.

Such an all-round warship would have been impossible in the past, but now it has actually become a reality. He is also very clear about the value of a warship of this level.

After understanding the general situation, the next step is negotiation.

It has to be said that these two levels of warships are of very high value.

After a series of discussions, the plan was finally finalized.

Strategic cruiser, stealth battleship, plunder ship.

All their belongings were exchanged for these three battleships. First of all, there was nothing much to say about the first two battleships, and the price of the last plunder ship was not low. This kind of battleship was similar to the flagship-level Dreadnought, and both could open combat modules and improve their firepower output through the bonus of combat modules.

After the plunder ship activates the module, the increased output can reach the output of an ordinary small aircraft carrier. This alone is enough to show how powerful it is.

Of course, it cannot move after the module is turned on, but this battleship has strong repair capabilities. As long as it is not concentrated fire, it can stand firm on the battlefield. Obviously, this battleship has also been favored. Of course, it is not that the captain wants this battleship, but that he wants to exchange for two invisible battleships. He does not have enough resources, so he can only choose this battleship as a second choice.

This transaction was relatively pleasant for both parties.

The trading party had a flagship formation that lacked escort warships, so they had to replace these warships.
