Chapter 376 Launch a Military Communications Satellite!

An hour later, Nie Zheng withdrew from the Arms Commercial Street.

Back in the study, he carefully put the super chip in front of his chest, and lowered his head to think.

Just now in the Arms Commercial Street, he bought millions of tons of cement, hundreds of thousands of tons of steel reinforcement materials, as for those transport vehicles, bulldozers, excavators, road rollers, tower cranes, water and electricity lines and pipelines... and so on. There are countless building materials purchased.

Originally, he still had more than 2200 billion liquid funds in his private account in the Arms Commercial Street. After some crazy purchases just now, now, only 1700 billion is left.

It took almost 500 billion yuan to purchase all the building materials and equipment needed for the entire project.

Among the more than 500 billion yuan, the four military communication satellites accounted for one-fifth of it.

One Hummingbird communication satellite is 25 billion, and Nie Zheng spent a total of 100 billion to buy four. Fortunately, Jack also gave away [-] sets of wireless communication equipment. At the same time, Jack also said that the Arms Commercial Street helped Nie Zheng launch the four communication satellites for free lift off.

Although 100 billion yuan for four satellites is a bit expensive, at least Jack's after-sales service is quite considerate.

Anyway, in a word, as long as Nie Zheng spends money to buy things, all subsequent maintenance and repairs will be covered by the Arms Commercial Street.

Originally, in the Arms Commercial Street, there was no way to produce millions of tons of cement and steel reinforcement materials for a while, but since Nie Zheng paid the money, it was equivalent to booking in advance.

At that time, after Nie Zheng took out all the materials temporarily stored in the auxiliary factory, the Arms Commercial Street will continue to replenish them.

This will not worry Nie Zheng.

But what frustrates Nie Zheng the most is that he has to hire a large number of B-rank clone soldiers.

Because, he just bought a large amount of machinery and equipment in the Arms Commercial Street, especially various large, medium and small transport vehicles, as well as wheel-mounted equipment such as bulldozers and excavators in a mess. There are more than 3000 vehicles.

There are more than 3000 vehicles and equipment alone, and at least thousands of clone soldiers have to drive them.

In addition to hiring thousands of clone soldiers as drivers, Nie Zheng also has to hire a large number of clone soldiers as operators of large equipment.

Cranes, road rollers, tower cranes, power generation systems, hydropower installations, stone crushing equipment, sand mining equipment... and other auxiliary projects of these projects require a large number of clone soldiers to operate.

According to Nie Zheng's conservative estimate, in order to successfully build this super-large-scale air force military base, at least nearly [-] clone soldiers must be hired.

The casualty insurance for a Class B clone soldier is 100 million, and 1 is [-] billion.

If calculated based on the employment fee of 30 per person per day, Nie Zheng would need to spend hundreds of millions of working capital every day just to hire these clone soldiers to help. After a month, he would not be able to handle it without [-] billion.

Thinking up to this point, Nie Zheng secretly shook his head and sighed, thinking, "Fortunately, I got hundreds of billions of working capital in the Immortal City last time, otherwise, this project would not have been able to proceed smoothly."

But to be honest, the amount of money Nie Zheng spent to build this super-large air-land integrated military base is really not much.

Because, in the Arms Commercial Street, although arms and weapons are relatively expensive, auxiliary equipment and building materials like these military projects are not very expensive, and some things are even quite cheap.

For example, the highest-quality engineering cement is only a few hundred yuan a ton, and buying millions of tons is only more than a billion yuan. The price of 4000 tons of steel reinforcement materials is not much different from that of cement.

Although the qualitative materials for the construction of military projects must be purchased from the Arms Commercial Street, there are still a lot of basic materials, and Nie Zheng does not need to spend the working capital of the Arms Commercial Street at all.

For the crushed stones, sand, red bricks, blue bricks, and cement bricks needed for construction, Nie Zheng can completely let those ancient laborers mine and manufacture them.

It is not a difficult task to build some kilns for firing bricks. There are also some marble and tile patches that Nie Zheng can completely fire in his own territory. Anyway, Jack said that the Arms Commercial Street will provide some technical information. help.

As for the hundreds of thousands of labor wages, Nie Zheng didn't have to worry about it.

The last time I brought hundreds of millions of taels of silver back from the Immortal City, I could take out 2000 to [-] million taels of silver to pay everyone's wages and logistical food.

In terms of manpower and financial resources, Nie Zheng can indeed save a lot of expenses. At the very least, it can save the working capital of Gunhuo Street.

Although all the construction materials and equipment needed for the project have basically been purchased, Nie Zheng is not in a hurry to hire the [-] clone soldiers.

The 50 laborers collected by Jia Xiufang have not yet arrived, so Nie Zheng estimates that he will have to wait another ten days.

Taking advantage of this time, Nie Zheng plans to hire hundreds of clone soldiers first, and ask them to take the construction design drawings and set up camp outside the northern city first, planning out the construction area of ​​the entire land and air military base.

At the same time, according to their requirements, Nie Zheng will evenly transfer batches of construction materials and supplies within the planned area, so that everyone can start work and use them in the future.

Anyway, from today onwards, Nie Zheng will probably be very busy.

Now, although he still has a liquidity of 700 billion yuan in Arms Street, he dare not use it indiscriminately.

For the purchase of large quantities of arms and ammunition, it is still necessary to wait until the project is almost completed before it can be reasonably allocated and purchased according to the remaining funds on hand.

Otherwise, all the money will be used up all at once now, and there will be nowhere to be enough by then, which will be very troublesome.

To do anything, Nie Zheng feels that it is necessary to plan carefully and consider carefully, and must leave a buffer for himself.

Unknowingly, the sky gradually darkened.

At this time, after dinner, Nie Zheng went to Shen Hongyu's wing room. When he entered the room, he found that Shen Hongyu's eyes were still closed tightly, and her whole body was covered by a ball of golden body protection. At the same time, her delicate body The silver-white spiritual energy emanating from the inside is getting rarer and rarer.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng was secretly relieved.

Judging from her current situation, after consuming the seven-color spiritual fruit, she refined it smoothly.It's just that the only thing that makes Nie Zheng feel depressed is that it has been more than a dozen hours since this girl swallowed the spirit fruit, and she still has no sign of waking up, and she still sits cross-legged, maintaining that "selfless" attitude. Tuna state.

Nie Zheng stood in front of him and observed for a while, then frowned secretly and said, "Why did the Dragon King of the South China Sea swallow the spirit fruit last time, and it took only a moment to recover, but it took so long for Hongyu? But, look at the shield on her body. The real energy of the body is three points deeper than what I saw in the morning, so it can be seen that the seven-color spiritual fruit has a magical effect, and after she wakes up, her skill will definitely skyrocket."

After staying by Shen Hongyu's bedside for an hour, Nie Zheng didn't see any sign of her waking up, so he was about to leave immediately.

He had just purchased four military communication satellites this afternoon, and he had to quickly find a remote place with few human footprints and launch all four satellites into the sky.

Anything can be delayed, that is, the launch of the communication satellite must not be delayed for too long.

As long as these four communication satellites are launched, Nie Zheng will be able to maintain close contact with various counties and legions at any time in the future.

The old-fashioned method of always flying pigeons to pass on letters is really too backward.

Not only is it inconvenient to send messages, but it is also very time-consuming. Where is the sound transmission function of the wireless communicator that can reply in seconds, which is convenient and fast.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Nie Zheng took advantage of the darkness and led a few clone soldiers out of the city in armored vehicles.

When going out of the city tonight, except for the three clone soldiers, Nie Zheng didn't bring anyone with him.

As for the guards like Zhang Long Zhao Hu, Nie Zheng just let them stay in the mansion and wait for him.

Nie Zheng didn't want anyone to know about such a confidential matter as launching a military communication satellite.

After the armored vehicle left the city, it drove towards the northwest to restore the depths. After driving for about 200 kilometers, it was far away from the villages and towns in various counties and counties, and arrived at a wasteland with few people.

According to observations, within a range of hundreds of kilometers, there is no one inhabited, which is the most suitable for launching satellites.

On the spot, Nie Zheng jumped out of the armored vehicle and ordered Jack to send out the four satellites.

With a "swish", four silver-white aircraft that looked like triangles appeared out of thin air above the pitch-black wilderness.

Jack told Nie Zheng that these four silver-white aircraft are products of future high-tech, not only capable of spaceflight, but also able to carry military communication satellites and send them into space.

This was something Nie Zheng hadn't expected.

He originally thought that to launch these four military communication satellites, he would need to build a large-scale launch derrick, and then use some launch vehicles to successfully send them into space.

Now it seems that my thinking is too backward.

Arms commercial streets are all products of future technology, so launching a few small communication satellites is not a piece of cake for them?
Sure enough, under Nie Zheng's order, four triangular-shaped silver-white aircraft carrying four Hummingbird-518 military communication satellites took off, and with a "swish", the four silver-white aircraft turned into Four bolts of lightning shot straight into the night sky in an instant, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

The flying speed is simply breathtaking.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng stood on the wilderness and raised his head in amazement, "The speed... is really too fast. Fortunately, the Arms Commercial Street has such an advanced satellite launch function. It is estimated that many people will see the commotion..."
