Chapter 146 10 billion orders! 【Four watches · Request from pre-order all pre-orders】 (Ch 146)

The Galactic Alliance’s highest central intelligence?
Sun He was stunned, he knew this thing.
Because his system borrowed this thing and directly airdropped himself into the Qingyuan fleet.
Of course, this kind of airborne landing did not allow Sun He to directly control the Qingyuan Fleet. At that time, he was just a “lone commander”.
If it weren’t for his subsequent strong performances, Sun He would not be able to truly control the Qingyuan fleet now.
“The intelligent computer betrayed you?” Qiao Rongrong looked at Catherine and others in surprise, unable to react.
“Although it may not be credible, according to some clues I got, this is the only possibility.” Catherine looked at Carol next to her.
Carol continued, “This incident started two days ago, a few hours before the Hive Fleet attacked on the 18th.
Three things happened at that time, which directly led to the collapse of our first line of defense.
First, the starship team that was carrying out the patrol mission that day was suddenly notified of the adjustment of the order, and other starship teams would carry out this mission. But the fact was that within the next five hours, there were no starships patrolling the star field outside the first line of defense!
It was not until the Hive Fleet attacked our sentinel starship that we learned of the Hive Fleet’s attack and rushed to fight.”
Being attacked without any warning can indeed have a huge impact.
Sun He narrowed his eyes, but this could also be a mistake in the task arrangement within the Northern Fleet’s own fleet. Sun He did not interrupt Carol and listened to her continue.
“The second thing is that the number of starships of the Northern Fleet on the first line of defense that day was far from meeting the standard; according to the layout standards of our Northern Line of Defense.
The number of starships on the first line of defense must always be 30% of the fleet, and it must be ensured that if a battle occurs, 50% of the fleet can be mobilized within three hours and 70% of the fleet can be mobilized within five hours!
However, when the battle broke out that day, only 20% of the starships were on the defense line, and a large number of starships were transferred far away to perform some unnecessary missions.
Until five hours after the battle of the first line of defense broke out, the number of starships on the defense line had not reached 50% of the fleet!
The third thing is that generally every starship has to enter the starport for maintenance and inspection every once in a while. To facilitate this, we built a starport between the first line of defense and the second line of defense.
In order to prevent a large number of starships from being on standby for maintenance at the starport at the same time, we usually arrange the date for maintenance and inspection of each starship one month in advance.
But on that day, three T3 starships entered the port for maintenance at the same time, and there were also a large number of T2 main battle starships, which seriously violated our regulations!”
Carol changed her playful look, clenched her fists, and her eyes were full of anger: “If it’s just one thing, then there may be a problem with our internal arrangements. We can make up for it as much as possible.
But at this special moment, three problems occurred at the same time! This is really hard to believe that it is a coincidence! It is also the direct cause of the collapse of the North Territory’s defense line. ”
Tang Yuan nodded, agreeing: “Indeed. Dismiss the patrol fleet, disperse the garrison starships, and arrange for the main battle starship to enter the port for maintenance.
At the same time, these three things directly reduced the combat effectiveness of your first line of defense by nearly half; no wonder your first line of defense was breached so quickly.
One thing is a coincidence, but three things are not just a coincidence.”
“Then why do you think it was done by the AI? The AI ​​was built by the Galactic Alliance in 2480, and its main function is to perform the task of a supercomputer.
Let it handle some of the heavy tasks and information collection work. After all, with the continuous expansion of the Galactic Alliance, the number of fleets has increased, the territory has become more, and the population has also skyrocketed.
Human power and ordinary computers alone can no longer calculate and control it. However, in the past five hundred years, the intelligent brain has always been responsible for auxiliary tasks, and the most core work is still directly responsible for the top leaders of the alliance. In order to prevent it from endangering human behavior, it has even been given restrictive clauses. “Qiao Rongrong still couldn’t accept this at the moment.
Because almost every aspect of the Galactic Alliance relies on intelligent computers. In other words, as long as you want to contact the outside world within the alliance, you will definitely go through the intelligent computer.
“I didn’t believe it at first, but I screened all the possibilities. These three things have one thing in common, that is, they are all problems with the system program.
A mission that should not have occurred appeared, and the starship that was supposed to perform patrol missions was assigned to other places.
However, some unimportant missions increased the number of starships dispatched.
All of this directly led to a lack of defense in the first line of defense. At the same time, most importantly, from a data perspective, there was no problem at all.
Only when you gather the real data of those starships and the events that happened at that time, you will know that those starships appeared in places where they shouldn’t be, and that there are gaps in the starships on the defense line.” Carol explained.
Sun He said: “You have been ‘falsified’.”
“That’s about it. If it were just a few spies, they wouldn’t be able to do this. It could only be done at the system data level.
The system data firewall of our Northern Fleet is very high. Even the top hackers cannot do so many things without revealing any flaws.
So in the end, the biggest possibility is the intelligent brain! In other words, someone is using the intelligent brain to deal with us.
And it is also possible… they can contact the alien Zerg, or know the alien Zerg’s invasion intentions, otherwise it is impossible for the problems of the three incidents to break out at such a coincidence.
Let the alien Zerg take advantage of it!” Catherine couldn’t help but slam the table.
“Um… Hello… Here is the steak and avocado you ordered.” A female waitress standing outside shouted in a low voice.
Xiao Ying took the plate and placed it in front of Catherine.
“Sorry, I lost my composure.” Catherine smoothed her hair and tried to calm herself down.
“Controlling the intelligent computer and colluding with the Zerg. To be honest, if all this is true, then the power behind this is really terrifying.
Do you have any evidence to prove that someone used the intelligent brain to do this?” Sun He asked.
Catherine shook her head and said helplessly: “After the first line of defense was lost, I found out about this problem, but because it involves the central alliance, I only arranged for Carol and other people I trust to investigate.
But all the evidence is gone. It’s like… those were really just coincidences.
But I will still investigate this matter.
I must give an explanation to the sisters who sacrificed their lives in the Northern Fleet!”
Sun He hesitated for a moment: “Can I ask about the losses of the Northern Fleet this time?”
Catherine glanced at Carol next to her.
Carol took the initiative to say: “This time our Northern Fleet suffered a 70% loss. We originally had 900 starships, but now there are only less than 200 left.
Among them, 12 T3 starships were destroyed, more than 200 T2 starships were destroyed, and the rest were T1 starships.
In addition, in this battle, at the call of Commander Catherine, the various territories of the Northern Galaxy mobilized 600 starships, and the loss rate reached 90%.
A total of 1,500 starships were deployed in this battle, with the loss of 18 T3 starships, more than 250 T2 starships, and more than 900 T1 starships.
The total number of casualties was over 300,000.”
More than three hundred thousand people.
Hearing this number, Sun He was stunned for a long time.
More than 300,000 female soldiers died in this battle?
Perhaps it was because the Qingyuan fleet relied on sophisticated and advanced starships and fighter jets and had always had zero casualties.
It was really shocking to hear that more than 300,000 female soldiers had sacrificed their lives on the distant star defense line.
“Actually, there is one thing I would like to ask Commander Sun He this time.” Catherine suddenly looked at Sun He with burning eyes.
Being stared at by such a beautiful woman with such passionate eyes.
Sun He was really not used to this. He always felt like he was going to be knocked down and eaten clean.
“you say.”
“I want to order a large number of your starships!” Catherine said firmly.
Sun He was stunned, not expecting that the other party was only talking about this matter, he shrugged and said with a smile: “It’s nothing, we were a cooperative relationship before.
Miss Catherine is willing to purchase a starship, and we are certainly happy to do so.”
“The purchasing budget this time is 10 billion units of crystal ore, 70% of which can be paid with raw materials.” Catherine said this.
Everyone present was silent for a moment.
At this moment, a series of zeros seemed to appear in Qiao Rongrong’s eyes.
“Commander?” Carol and Yan Bing were also frightened at this moment. It was obvious that they had no idea about this news.
An order of one billion units of crystal ore?
Sun He pretended to be calm as he looked at Catherine: “Admiral Catherine’s order is indeed very large. Purchasing so many starships at once, won’t it drag down the finances of the Ekaterina family?”
One billion!
If I were to build it myself, relying on my mobile military factories, I could build six or seven hundred T3 Tyrant-class heavy interstellar battleships.
Think about it.
The scene of six or seven hundred T3 interstellar battleships lined up in front of you, isn’t that spectacular!
“I will not hide it from Mr. Sun He. The annual output value of our Ekaterina family’s territory is only 1.7 billion units of crystal ore.
These 1 billion units of crystal ore are the heritage of my Catherine family for a hundred years. As for the financial issues you are worried about, I still kept a part of it, and it is no problem to maintain the most basic stability.
Moreover, in this situation, the Ekaterina family and the Northern Fleet have reached the final moment. Not only those alien insects, but also those jackals and tigers in the alliance need to be guarded against. “Catherine said seriously.
The annual output value of crystal ore is 1.7 billion units. It is conceivable how many years it will take to save up 1 billion units of crystal ore.
“Are you sure?” Sun He was still shocked by the huge number.
Catherine nodded heavily: “As long as Mr. Sun He can guarantee to deliver a batch every month, all the starships will be delivered within half a year.
30% deposit, you can take it away directly! ”
1 billion units of crystal ore, 30% deposit, that’s 300 million!
Excluding the 50 million units of crystal ore, which is one twentieth of the construction cost, Sun He will have an extra 250 million units of crystal ore in his hands.
After completing the order, there are still 700 million left!
Catherine looked at Sun He’s hesitation and continued, “In this battle, the Northern Fleet suffered heavy losses. At the same time, I also saw the lack of combat power of the fleet.
So I need to purchase starships in large quantities as quickly as possible, and Mr. Sun He’s starships, whether they are the Giant Shield class, the Griffin class, the Storm class, or the Xiaolong class, are all great choices.
And your previous delivery dates were very fast, I believe you can complete this order within half a year.”
Yan Qianqian on the side swallowed and looked at Sun He with some envy.
It’s an order worth a full billion. There should be no single force in the Galactic Alliance that has ever traded orders of this magnitude.
The most recent time was about two hundred years ago, when several forces within the Galactic Alliance cooperated with other civilizations to introduce large quantities of starships and technologies.
“I need to discuss this matter with my people.” Sun He did not give an immediate reply.
Because there are so many things involved.
“There are rest rooms on this medical ship. You can have a good rest here after dinner. I will give Miss Catherine a satisfactory answer before tonight.” Sun He said seriously.
“Okay, I’ll wait for Mr. Sun He’s reply.” Catherine didn’t urge her, but her eyes looked at Sun He as if there was something more.
Soon, the lunch was over.
Sun He asked Tang Yuan to personally take them to the rest room.
Sun He simply took Qiao Rongrong to find an empty corner, of course not to do anything unspeakable.
“Rongrong, do the math. Do we have the ability to take on this order without affecting our current development?” Sun He asked urgently.
Qiao Rongrong swallowed and said nervously: “We don’t know the detailed order information of Miss Catherine yet, so I will also give the detailed data.
But I did a simple count while I was eating just now.
If we estimate the order ratio for a billion orders based on our current export product situation.
This order would require at least 200 working months if a single Giant Turtle-class interstellar industrial ship were to be responsible for its construction.
We now have 25 Giant Turtle-class interstellar industrial ships in service, which means it will take about 8 months.
Suppose we expand the Giant Turtle-class interstellar industrial ships to 100 ships, and two-thirds of them are equipped with dedicated production lines.
The construction time can be shortened to two or three months.
We can definitely complete this order under the premise of our own development! However, a large number of giant turtle-class interstellar industrial ships are in service. After this order is completed, insufficient raw materials may cause more than half of the giant turtle-class interstellar industrial ships to be idle. ”
“Compared with this big order, let alone leaving these giant turtle-class interstellar industrial ships idle, it would be worth it even if they were scrapped directly!” Sun He was excited.
The foundation of a first-rate force is truly remarkable, as they placed such a large order at once.
With this wave of blood congestion, Sun He’s combat capability will have a qualitative leap.
“I will go ask Miss Catherine for detailed order information now. Be prepared to come up with a detailed manufacturing list in a short time!”
“Yes!” Qiao Rongrong, the housekeeper, was also very excited.
Sun He soon arrived outside the room where Catherine and the others were resting.
“Commander, Commander Sun He is here.” Carol delivered the message.
Then Carol opened the door for Sun He: “Commander Sun He, our admiral is waiting for you inside.”
“Thank you.” Sun He walked in. Surprisingly, Carol did not come in, but closed the door.
“Miss Catherine?”
When Sun He walked in, he didn’t see Catherine.
“I’m here.” Catherine’s voice came from the next room.
Sun He walked in, and his eyes widened immediately.
There was mist in the room, and a beautiful woman was lying in a bathtub.
The beauty walked out slowly.
“Mr. Sun He, I want to make a deal with you.”
