Star Lord: Rob the alien race and you will get a hundred times the reward

Chapter 42: Xinghai Arms Company
After outsourcing the affairs of the space station, all relevant documents were provided by the other party. Liu Wen only had to be responsible for paying the money and providing the information. This was reasonable and legal, and it just sped up the process. For the sake of convenience and for future expansion, Liu Wen raised the specifications of the space station.

In the next two months, Jack contacted several colleges in Shu and recruited nearly 10,000 employees into the group. He also recruited three professional managers through a headhunting company to manage the research institute, arms trade, and group management respectively.

The Xinghai and Xinghe fleets originally had more than 1,800 personnel each, and now have expanded to 4,000 more. Of the remaining 2,000 people, more than 1,300 are scientific researchers, and there are less than 300 people in administrative positions. There are nearly 400 people in the group's logistics support, which includes basic support for the fleet, but does not include professional engineering ships and the like.

In two months, even though Liu Wen spent a large amount of money to purchase raw materials, the Sera Industrial Zone, three medium-sized ship manufacturing docks, five industrial cluster cities, two space smelting factories, and one large equipment manufacturing factory recovered 50% of their productivity. However, they only built a total of 120 level-five frigate-class battleships, 30 destroyer-class battleships, and one-third of the cruisers. The heavy cruisers and battleships that followed were even slower. As for the flagship and super flagship classes, sorry, they require large docks to be built, and now there is not even a supporting facility factory.

A total of 150 warships were assigned to the Star Fleet, ready to carry out the next plan.

The current configuration of the Star Sea Fleet is one level VI battleship, five level VI cruisers, ten level VI destroyers, thirty level 5 destroyers, ten level VI frigates, one hundred and twenty level 5 frigates, one level 5 engineering ship, two level 5 medium transport ships, and one level VI command ship, which is very close to the configuration of a regular team.

The fleet's combat effectiveness has just been expanded, and it will take some time to adjust and train.

The first meeting of the Xinghai Group in Shuzhong Star Region was held at the Xinghai Space Station.

Liu Wen walked into the meeting room and everyone was already there.

"There are newcomers and old employees here. I won't waste any more time. I hope you can cooperate sincerely in the future and push the group into the boundless sea of ​​stars."

"The next thing I'm going to tell you is the first test for you all. The Tokeya Space will be opened in a month. I have signed up to participate in the name of the Star Sea Fleet. There will be a weapons exhibition soon. President Zhao, this is your business scope. I hope this exhibition can be the first shot for the Star Sea Armament Company."

Zhao Nina, the executive president of Xinghai Armament Trading Co., Ltd., stood up excitedly and promised: "Don't worry, Chairman, I have sorted out the company's products, and the production plan is also in progress. This time it will definitely create a lot of profits for the company."

Liu Wen did not comment, and turned to Li Bingzhen and said, "President Li, the logistical support of the Star Fleet is within your scope of work. I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer before they set off."

Li Bingzhen, the executive president of Xinghai Group, accepted the task calmly.

When looking at Anna, Liu Wen smiled and said, "Manager Anna, you are a veteran of the group and are familiar with the management of the space station. You must ensure the main space logistics work of the relevant personnel."

"President Zhu, there are more than a thousand researchers in the research institute, and the related research equipment are all excellent products on the market. I hope you can integrate the scientific and technological information as soon as possible and provide me with a complete five-level technology tree. I wonder if you have the confidence to complete it within one year?" Liu Wen has made a huge investment in the research institute.

The total investment in the three space stations and supporting facilities is less than 25 million contribution points, but the scientific research equipment in the scientific research space has invested 500 million contribution points. If thousands of people can't even integrate the technical data, then he is really going to kill people.

When Zhu Jianqiao, the head of the research institute, heard Liu Wen's words, he felt a little overwhelmed for a moment. His subordinates were all newly graduated graduate students and doctoral students, whose real level had only reached the fourth-level scientific and technological level. He was the only one who had truly entered the scientific research level, and he was only a fourth-level researcher who was slightly better than the last one.

It is indeed quite difficult to lead these teams to fully master the fifth-level technology. Even if there is a complete set of ready-made information, it will take several years to do it. What's more, most of them only have technical information and no relevant theoretical knowledge, so this time will be even longer.

"Chairman, scientific research is not like combat. It will take a long time." Zhu Jianqiao explained carefully.

Liu Wen asked, "If you are short of manpower, just keep recruiting. I just want to get the desired results within the stipulated time. Do you understand?"

After thinking for a while, Zhu Jianqiao agreed reluctantly.

"Michelle, Luo Shaohua, you two fleet commanders should assign tasks among yourselves. This time in Tokeya Space is the first battle of the Star Sea Fleet after it comes to the Shuzhong Star Region. I hope you can bring me good news. I won't set a fixed target, but I hope you won't destroy the fleet that I have built with great difficulty."

As Liu Wen spoke, he paid special attention to Luo Shaohua. This guy has a bit of a gambling habit, so Wu Shuhe should be assigned to him to look after him. Shirley is efficient, but she lacks the power of self-discipline.

"Wei Ming, your Marines also need to go into battle with the fleet this time. You should train the soldiers of the vassal races as soon as possible and go to the industrial zone to submit orders for the necessary equipment." Finally, Liu Wen looked at Wei Ming, the captain of the Star Sea Fleet's Marines.

Wei Ming stood up and saluted: "I promise to complete the mission!"

"Okay, this meeting ends here. Do you have any questions? If not, let's adjourn the meeting." Liu Wen asked everyone, and when no one spoke, he left the meeting room directly.

Although it was called a meeting this time, it was actually just a notification. The real discussion was still between him and Jack the Blue Fat Man and a few others. Only matters that they were hesitant and difficult to judge would be brought up at the general meeting. It has always been a tradition to hold small meetings for big matters and big meetings for small matters.

On August 004, of the Sixth Cosmic Era, in the Star System No. of the Shuzhong Star Region of the Second World, the weapons exhibition started as scheduled.

On the void platform covering an area of ​​150,000 square kilometers, there are various types of warships, missiles, energy cannons, individual armors, unmanned fighter jets, etc.

The warships of Xinghai Armament Company have very ordinary appearances, which cannot be compared with the sci-fi and beautiful warships of many arms companies, but the warship data provided surprised countless exhibitors.

"Is this true? You told me that this firepower is that of a level 5 battleship? Could it be that the Xinghai Company has brought up military battleships?" A young man stood in front of the Xinghai Company booth and looked at the projected data, wondering if he had gotten up too early and was still sleepy.

"These data are better than those of the sixth-level civilian warships produced by Daqin Heavy Industry, but military products cannot be exhibited at this trade fair!" The arms dealer next door naturally noticed his competitors. After reading the data, he looked at his own company's warships. What rubbish they were!

"Family, can you believe it? A photon cannon with 1,300 units of damage, is this still the level 5 destroyer battleship we imagined? Level 6 technology is only 1,200! What kind of magical company is this Xinghai Armament Company? Has anyone heard of it?" A military anchor originally wanted to make fun of the ordinary battleship appearance without any features, but after reading the battleship information, he immediately changed direction and began to intentionally or unintentionally provoke a fight with Xinghai Company. "The data of our company's battleships has been inspected by the Interstellar Alliance and put on the sales and redemption platform. The quality is absolutely reliable!" A salesperson took the initiative to stand in front of the anchor's camera and showed the Interstellar Alliance's inspection report. No one dared to fake the Interstellar Alliance mark on it.

Counterfeiting this thing is much more dangerous than illegally trading Mickey Mouse. The entire second world is under surveillance and they can be arrested immediately at any location, even from the center of a black hole.

After seeing the inspection certificate provided by the salesperson through the camera, the people watching the live broadcast immediately became excited.

"This is a civilian-grade warship. Judging from the data, it is already very close to military grade. This type of warship is generally used by internal garrison fleets. Logically, it should not be sold outside."

"Are you talking about the garrison-type battleships? They are certainly not sold to the public, but how did they get into the trade fair? Are the military here to purchase them?"

"How is that possible? The military directly sends invitations to weapons companies and asks them to go to relevant departments for meetings and quotes. They don't go to the door to purchase on their own."

"Not necessarily. When Mojia Heavy Industry developed the special warship, I remember that the military came directly to purchase it. From then on, the relevant information was deleted."

"But this warship is not even a special ship. It's just an upgraded version of a regular warship."

……

As time went by, the news that a ruthless person had come to the trade fair spread quickly. The top ten military equipment companies of Shangxia Republic came to check out the details and contacted the trade fair staff. What was going on with Xinghai Group? Was it here to mess up the show?

After checking the verification information, the staff member said helplessly: "Everyone, the warships reported by Xinghai Group are of the general series, and they have obtained a sales license, but it is limited to prospective development personnel."

The representative of Daqin Heavy Industry looked at the Xinghai Group booth in silence. Who among the arms dealers who came here to participate in the trade fair was not here to sell to those who wanted to apply for development orders?

Ordinary teams don't have the money to buy warships. They just make do with what they have. Only those who aspire to become pioneer lords will buy warships in large quantities to enter the alien subspace to fight. These are their main target groups for sales.

But now someone comes to mess things up. Everyone is selling civilian warships, and you come here to sell garrison warships. Isn't this a blatant violation of the rules?

"Who approved it? Aren't garrison-type warships and above not allowed to appear at civilian trade shows?" the representative of Mojia Heavy Industry asked.

"It was specially approved by the research institute." The staff member replied with his hands spread out.

Several people looked at each other. What does this have to do with the research institute?

The few people who didn't understand what it meant had to consider themselves unlucky. They returned to the booth and reported the matter to the company, asking their superiors to investigate what was going on. The research institute inexplicably interfered with the sales of a newly built arms company. There was definitely something wrong.

After the trade fair started, Liu Wen has been paying close attention to the sales situation. Of course, it is not spot goods, but a pre-sale model is adopted. The current production of Sera Industrial Zone is limited, and it has to supply the Star Sea Fleet and the Galaxy Fleet first.

As the warship data of Xinghai Armament Company spread, many teams preparing to participate in the opening of the Tokya Space sent people to understand the situation. After confirming the authenticity, they placed some orders more or less. In half a month, they received several hundred million contribution points in deposits alone.

The order time has been scheduled for a year later, and this is because they only sell light cruisers and below, otherwise the number would have to be several times higher.

In the conference room of the Star Fleet command ship, everyone was looking through the documents in their hands and the battle plan submitted by the General Staff. For a moment, the conference room seemed a little silent.

"Chairman, as a level five civilization, the Tok civilization's warships are only slightly lower than ours, according to previous cleanup data. The teams that usually come in will adopt a cooperative model to make up for quality with quantity. Do we need to contact the teams that have already arrived to find some partners? After all, the Star Fleet is only a small team among the hundreds of thousands of participating teams, and its self-preservation capabilities are too weak." Wu Shuhe asked after reading the information.

"I don't recommend doing this. Our goal is not to sink a large number of Tok warships, but to plunder the opponent's resources and high-tech population. We don't need to engage in head-on combat." Shirley rejected Wu Shuhe's proposal. The cooperative model is indeed conducive to the survival of the fleet, but it is not conducive to resource acquisition. The distribution of spoils in team combat has always been a point of conflict. The Shangxia Republic used this place as a simulated battlefield for the extraterritorial battlefield, but did not give too many rules to protect the interests of each team.

Therefore, it is not uncommon for people of the same kind to kill each other for their own benefit in the previous opening of alien subspaces. Since there is no regulation prohibiting this, it does not violate the law. The Shangxia Republic does indeed only pursue some extremely bad behaviors, which shows its attitude.

Michelle thought for a moment and said, "The Tok civilization has been the subject of trials for more than 10,000 years. It opens every 50 years. The diameter of its internal space is about 10,000 light years. Every time it opens, the Tok civilization will specifically attack the teams that enter. The survival rate is about 40%."

"For us, they are a good test object. The main force has been attracted by those large teams. As a small team with only a few warships, our target is relatively small. We will naturally be placed in an insignificant position by the opponent, which is very effective for the survival and combat of the fleet."

"Lie in wait for a while, find the right target, strike it with one strike, and then flee thousands of miles away."

"No matter how much the Tok Civilization hates us, they will not send a large number of troops to target us at this time. As long as we stay calm, our survival rate will exceed 70%."

Luo Shaohua nodded in agreement with Michelle's proposal, and added: "In fact, we can also hide behind those big teams to pick up leaks. Anyway, our goals are not in conflict with theirs. We can just pick up some remnants and give them some benefits in the name of Xinghai Armament Company when needed. I believe they won't mind."

Liu Wen smiled and said, "It's up to you how to do it, but don't expect the group to spend a single credit point for your promise. This is a test for you."
